Chapter 1505 The Rise and Fall of the Sky

Deep within the opposite world, after a burst of light, a colossal demon shattered instantly.

Chen Chuan stood calmly in his original position, surrounded by a human-shaped phantom shimmering with platinum light.

With a thought, the scattered precious materials around him floated towards him.

He glanced at it and then put it away.

He then extended his mental energy outwards, sensing his surroundings. Although he had been here every day for the past few days, he was always very cautious.

One of the lessons from the other side of the world is that you can trust your feelings, but you must never trust past experiences.

This time he went even deeper than before, searching for places where immortal seeds might exist.

The demons he encountered on this journey were different from those before. One of them possessed considerable intelligence, but he still managed to deal with it with remarkable speed.

Perhaps because of the continuous elimination of the opposing force, even when encountering sporadic beings, they all actively avoided contact with us through mental contact.

After venturing deeper and deeper, they finally arrived at the target airspace.

In his spiritual perception, this place was where several worldly veins intersected and crisscrossed.

According to Kaiyang's analysis, if one is unwilling to search slowly on their own, then this is the place where immortal seeds must exist, but it is also the place where many high-level beings are most likely to appear.

So, unsurprisingly, many powerful beings suddenly appeared in the mind. However, after making contact with each other, they did not attack each other, but withdrew immediately and then stayed there quietly.

Seeing that they were not moving, Chen Chuan did not pay much attention to them. He focused his attention on the place where the world's energy converged, where he saw the birth and death of countless field bubbles.

This is a gap in the spiritual world, where new flash domains, or immortal seeds, can be born anytime and anywhere.

The Flash Domain can be said to be annihilated in an instant. What he needs to do is to restrain it and take it away before it is completely destroyed.

If it's just about doing this one thing, even if there are some risks, it's not complicated. If you don't succeed the first time, you can try a few more times.

However, in this world, there are many beings that feed on immortal seeds, so they will compete with him for them. Some are even openly waiting there, ready to snatch the immortal seeds when other beings capture them.

Therefore, you need to be careful when taking these things.

In the past, when people from the old dynasties obtained immortal seeds, they would usually not do it alone, but rather in teams, unless they relied on the power of the upper echelons.

He sensed all the changes with his mind, observed for a while, and decided to give it a try. So the field instantly embedded itself into it.

This approach is actually quite dangerous, because the creation and destruction of a flashing domain happens in an instant, and the power that is unleashed is extremely strong. If you directly step forward and come into contact with its field, you are very likely to be impacted by this power. If you lose your balance, you will be injured immediately.

Therefore, generally speaking, one should wait until the Flash Domain is at the end of its life cycle to obtain it. When its power is at its weakest, although the success rate is correspondingly lower, the damage to oneself may also be much smaller.

In that instant, Chen Chuan used the sense of the collision of the fields to forcibly pull out the immortal seed he had touched.

This approach is like randomly scooping fish out of a river without carefully assessing their size.

He forcefully restrained the surging power and brought it closer. He had just created three flashing domains, which were now suppressed into three shimmering crystalline lights within his domain.

Although he captured three at once, compared to the one he had previously melted, they seemed to be of a much lower grade. Even if they were melted together, their effect would be negligible, and he would have to keep them under control, otherwise they might dissipate.

This feeling is like fragile flower petals and grass seeds, swept away by a strong wind, their whereabouts unknown.

Therefore, if you don't find a high-grade immortal seed in one go, you have to keep searching and slowly accumulate it, and you also need to maintain it from time to time until you successfully open the immortal dwelling.

If this celestial abode cannot meet one's needs, then one must start all over again, which explains why it is said to be time-consuming and laborious.

He also sensed that several entities seemed to be eyeing him, or more precisely, the immortal seed in his hand.

He unceremoniously released the field, but perhaps these things could distinguish who was easy to mess with and who was not, or perhaps they felt it wasn't worth fighting him for a few low-grade immortal seeds, so none of them responded.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that it wasn't necessary for him to do it himself. He could leave a clone of his power here, since he was no longer completely ignorant about this place and there was no need for him to do it personally.

Fighters typically wouldn't do this because clones are weak and easily corrupted, yielding little benefit. In fact, they might bring back something that could cause problems.

But he didn't care about any of that. As a human being, his clone also possessed great power. As for things like corruption and alienation, even without using his second self, he had various secret techniques of the Pure School to resist them.

Therefore, he immediately created a clone and left it here to seize the immortal seed for him. He also left the external implant in his body to the clone, so that it would be convenient to collect some precious materials.

He then left directly, traversing the frontier airspace and the World Ring, and returned to his residence.

Ming Chengzi was waiting there. He bowed and said, "Xuanji, the matter that Xuanji entrusted to us has been properly handled."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. This matter was not difficult for Ming Chengzi. He said, "Thank you for your help, Master Ming Chengzi. Have you found any clues?"

Ming Chengzi said, "It must be the work of the Fusion Faction." As he spoke, he transmitted a wisp of spiritual information.

After reviewing the document, Chen Chuan realized he had indeed identified the right target. Perhaps the other party was still thinking he would first gather evidence and then devise a counterattack.

But since the other party had already told him that Lianwei Heavy Driving was the person behind it all, he naturally went directly to their door.

He has the authority, so of course he uses it; he won't play those political games.

Using violence to break the deadlock directly is to let them know that you have no reservations about taking action.

As for whether it will cause internal strife, the fact that he dared to do so means he has the ability to clean up the mess. This confidence comes from the battle at Tianji Peak and the conquest of the old imperial family.

Now he wants to see which one will step forward.

He just didn't think these people would actually dare to take action, because if they were determined, they wouldn't be thinking about colluding with extraterrestrials, nor would they be thinking about taking the path of compromise or surrender.

This matter is not over yet, because even if the other party does not dare to confront him directly, he will not stop retaliating, and he will not stop either, until the opportunity arises.

At this moment, a notification sound rang out from Jie Ping. He glanced at it and said, "Kaiyang, you are responsible for guiding them over here."

Kaiyang replied, "Okay, Consultant Chen."

At this moment, Wei Chang'an and the others finally arrived in Zhongjing. After getting off the airship and boarding a special car, they looked at this magnificent and ancient capital and couldn't help but start taking pictures with their boundary tokens.

Looking outside, Yuan Qiuyuan said excitedly, "I got to Zhongjing before my older sister! Captain Qin, you said you've been here before?"

Standing to the side, Qin Qingque looked at the building before her with a look of reminiscence:
“My family brought me here to live for a while when I was a child. As far as I remember, the old buildings haven’t changed much, well… there are just more buildings now.”

Yuan Qiuyuan asked curiously, "Where did you live before?"

Qin Qingque said, "It seems to be a military dependents' compound. It used to be not far from the State Council, but it should have moved away now."

Yuan Qiuyuan turned his head and saw that Su Wei had been sitting there without saying a word since they got off the airship, so he nudged him with his elbow: "Old Su, why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Wei said, "It's nothing, it's just that Zhongjing is so big, it's a bit overwhelming. Are we going to stay in Zhongjing from now on?"

"Right, isn't it good?"

Yuan Qiuyuan said, "Zhongjing offers more opportunities and resources. Old Su, don't you want to come to Zhongjing?"

"No."

Su Wei shook his head and said, "I've just gotten used to life in Jibei Road, and now that I'm in Zhongjing, it's a bit of an adjustment."

"You'll get used to it."

Yuan Qiuyuan put his arm around him and patted his shoulder: "Old Su, you're just lacking that bit of drive. Don't you feel that cultivation has become easier now? I feel that with a little more time, I can try to break through to the next level."

He turned to Qin and said, "Captain Qin, you feel the same way, don't you?"

Qin Qingque nodded seriously and said, "In the captain's words, with the arrival of the Great Collision, each of us may have more opportunities, and we must find a way to seize them."

"That's right, Lao Su. If you become a fighter, many of your ideas can come true. Don't you agree?"

Su Wei thought for a moment, looked at the scene outside where skyscrapers and antique buildings intertwined, and nodded, saying, "Yes."

In the other car, Wu Han and Wei Dong paid no attention to the scenery outside. They were using the available space to play a pinball game against someone on a platform.

Thanks to the spread of Skyline, the game quickly became popular in many cities. However, they were among the first to personally participate in pinball, and as fighters themselves, their understanding of the game and their reaction speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. They quickly defeated their opponents one by one and occupied the top positions on several leaderboards.

"Hey, this guy's still not convinced. He's inviting us to a competition on the platform. Wei Dong, Luo, and Feng, when are we going to give it a try?"

As Wu Han spoke, he clenched his fist, making a cracking sound, "Let the people of Zhongjing see what a real pinball master is like."

Not long ago, he successfully entered the third limit and caught up with Wei Dong.

And he wasn't the only one; Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan also entered the third limit during their vacation.

Besides the fact that they have always had more resources and are themselves outstanding students of Wuyi, they also suddenly felt that their cultivation had become much easier recently.

Of all the people, Wei Chang'an remained the same as before, but he always felt that he still had a chance...

The vehicle drove towards Qinghu with almost no obstacles along the way. Under Kaiyang's guidance, there were no traffic jams, which made the group, who were already prepared, feel like something was missing.

After a while, three armed vehicles drove towards Qinghu. Suddenly, a fog appeared ahead. After they came out, a picturesque place appeared before their eyes.
