Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1520 Holding the Edge, Is It a Solitary Journey?

Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing received a clear answer from Chen Chuan, and even knowing that he was indeed going to do something, they couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.

Those advisors who wielded great power in the past, even those who had become high-ranking officials, were still aware of the limits. Although there were differences between them, they didn't think the differences were incomprehensible.

But Chen Chuan was different; he truly exceeded their comprehension.

The feeling was as if Dongxuan Temple was divided into two levels, with the lower level being where they were standing and the upper level being where Chen Chuan stood.

Liu Changlin also picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Advisor Chen, I've noticed you've traveled to and from the other world several times, and frequently ventured into its depths. Are you searching for a seed of immortality?"
Chen Chuan didn't hide anything about it, saying, "That's how it is."

Liu Changlin pondered for a moment, then tapped the boundary token to transmit some information to Chen Chuan:
"Perhaps we can find what Consultant Chen needs in this place."

Chen Chuan looked at the information Liu Changlin had sent him and found it very interesting; it was about a secret location with its entrance in Southeast Asia.

Unlike the secret treasures of other dynasties, it was clearly told that this was once a secret treasure of the Xuanjiao sect, and that it was hidden deep within the area of ​​fusion, when the Xuanjiao sect was at a disadvantage in the early struggle between the Xuanjiao and Chanjiao sects.

Later, many people with the right affinity went to investigate. Some gained something, while others came out empty-handed. However, most of them had a peaceful mindset. Those who gained something thanked their predecessors, while those who didn't just thought they had no chance.

Because this secret treasure may be protected by the power of a certain ancestor, it cannot be entered unless one is a member of the Xuanjiao sect or someone recognized by the Xuanjiao sect. That's why it still exists there to this day.

Liu Changlin said, "Everyone only has one chance to go there in their lifetime. My grandfather went there back then, and I went there once when I was young, but we were both unlucky and didn't gain anything. If Consultant Chen is interested, he might as well give it a try."

Chen Chuan glanced at it and thought that if that was the case, he could try his luck. Even if he didn't succeed, it wouldn't matter.

He said, "Then thank you, Consultant Liu."

The three then stopped discussing these serious topics and instead talked about current international affairs.

Chen Chuan hasn't been paying much attention to foreign countries lately, and most of his information comes from Kaiyang.

These are all publicly available or information from clandestine departments, and are no different from what other consultants have learned.

However, Liu Changlin still has some connections abroad. Mainly, some branches of the Liu family went to the Western Continent before the arrival of the new era, and some of them are now senior executives in a giant enterprise in the consortium. There is a lot of information that is difficult for outsiders to find out.

Currently, it appears that the Western Continent's joint operation to eradicate the old imperial family has been hampered by pressure from the World Ring, and all personnel have been recalled.

On the surface, they don't seem to have given up yet. The action plan and the various related organizations are still there, not disbanded, and seem ready to be restarted at any time.

But in reality, it was no longer possible. They could all see that, under external pressure, the powerful nations in the western regions would strengthen their self-defense and dare not easily disperse their forces again.

Even if one or two countries persist, the combined strength is insufficient to support the operation. In other words, the matter of the old imperial family of the Western Continent cannot be resolved before the great collision arrives.

Fang Yanxing sighed, "This could become a hidden danger in the future."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, "Not necessarily."

He was someone who had met Emperor Capa, and if it was this person, he didn't think he would submit to those extraterrestrial beings.

This person still holds the title of emperor and the prestige inherited from the past within the old imperial family, so it is too early to draw any conclusions about what will happen next.

The three drank tea until noon before leaving the teahouse. Before parting, Liu Changlin added, "Also, I want to tell Consultant Chen that neither Consultant Fang nor I have the bloodline of the Secret Map."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to him, and the two of them left together.

Chen Chuan also walked towards his car. In fact, even if the two of them had the bloodline of the secret map, they didn't care. After all, it was just a bloodline. The real decision was up to the person himself.

but……

There seemed to be another meaning behind Liu Changlin's words, as if there was something else hidden within the secret map's bloodline?
He seemed to be deep in thought; whether it was true or not, he would decide for himself.

On his way back in the car, he checked himself and found that his "negative reputation" had disappeared sometime during his battle.

However, it's hard to know if it will reappear the next time you go to the other world; these kinds of anomalies are not so easy to get rid of.

He didn't pay much attention to this, as long as he knew that the abnormal rules were not insurmountable.

On the bright side, the negative name's external field attracts demons of the same level as him, not higher powers. This saves him the trouble of searching for them himself, and the existence of the negative name may even help him avoid higher powers.

At this moment, the vehicle entered his private space. He glanced through the car window at the other side of the lake, where large clouds of dust rose up in the distance, as if the area had been bombarded by artillery shells.

That was Hai Ping and Lu Ning sparring. After arriving here, they began their very active training.

Meanwhile, in the fighting arena inside the mansion, the team members were also training intensively. They already knew the possible time of the massive impact, and no one dared to waste any time.

Chen Chuan could sense that each of their spirits and mutated organizations were constantly releasing their potential under this stimulation, and the increasingly intense spiritual energy was responding to their desires. After returning to the mansion, he went into his study, sat down, and first, as usual, reviewed the battle to see where there were any shortcomings.

He felt that Ling Su played a significant role this time, effectively defending him against the demons and allowing him to complete the attack without using his second self.

Furthermore, when he was trapped in the Immortal Abode, if he hadn't had a clone outside, he planned to send Ling Su outside to deliver the final blow.

Having an additional active consciousness that merges with his own spirit is indeed a great help to him. The key is that the strength of his spiritual essence is not limited to the present, and can continue to improve in the future.

He could sense that after Hong Fu swallowed the immortal embryo, she had also broken through the barrier and was slowly approaching the level of her original body. In that case, after a while, he would be able to get two powerful helpers.

In that way, he might appear to be traveling alone, but in reality, he would be essentially part of a small team.

Because Shang Lingjun's performance in this battle, aside from the lost items, was only average, he didn't waste much time.

After having Ling Su record it, he raised the Snow Lord Blade and cleaved a fissure in it, allowing Ling Su to enter and continue absorbing energy.

He then displayed his spoils of war, glancing at the rare materials before putting them away.

The most important thing is that immortal seed.

He took it in his hand and examined it. The thing was dazzling and of high quality. Although Shang Lingjun had activated it once using some method, it was still better than those he had seen before. It was just what he needed to use.

After collecting them, he placed the two lost items on the table.

After mentally exploring the area, I discovered that both lost items were quite useful.

One of them can render other lost items ineffective for a very short time, depending on the level of the other lost items. The higher the level, the shorter the effect lasts. If it is a high-level lost item, it may even be so short that it is undetectable.

But for him, it's a perfect match, because it perfectly leverages his speed advantage.

The other lost item is one that can enhance his secret abilities, such as amplifying the power of the two major techniques, the Pure Spiritual Light and even the One Yuan Divine Seal. If these two lost items are combined, it will be very beneficial to his plans.

As an advisor, these spoils were his war booty; he didn't need to hand them over or disclose any details about them. However, he didn't intend to keep the quiver.

Because this item clearly contains the power of the upper echelons, holding it would definitely attract the attention of the opposing upper echelons. It would be better to hand it over to the group of five and have them deliver it to Tian Shu on their behalf.

He thought for a moment and realized that he already had enough rare materials and could collect them all in the next few days. From then on, he would focus all his energy on the immortal seed.

Perhaps it's a secret hidden in Southeast Asia...

Just then, news came from Kaiyang:
"Advisor Chen, you have a letter from the Ringlock Island."

Chen Chuanxin's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Bring it to me."

"Ok."

The space rippled, and then a letter appeared on the table.

Chen Chuan picked it up and looked at it. He saw that it was indeed sent by the international investigation team, but it was a private letter sent by Scalson.

He opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it. Scalson said that recently, the defenses of countries around the world have been frequently attacked, and Huan Suo Island has also encountered some situations. Therefore, he wrote in a private capacity to ask Chen Chuan if he could lend a helping hand.

He knew Scalson well; he would never have sent this letter unless he was in a truly dire situation.

He didn't hesitate much; this was a favor he absolutely had to do.

The head of the investigation team, Meteora, had given him a lot of help back then, and even after he went to the upper echelons, he didn't forget to give him a token. He always remembered this favor.

Even putting that aside, Huan Suo Island was one of the former headquarters of the Grand Alliance, and the current international investigation team is an important link connecting countries around the world since the collapse of the Grand Alliance.

If the investigation team runs into problems, it may not seem like a big deal on the surface, but the legacy left by the Grand Alliance will be completely lost, and the countries will become more divided.

This point alone cannot be ignored, so he decided to go there in person.

Da Shun has just repelled the extraterrestrial enemy, so there's no need to worry about any problems arising in the short term. Even if something does happen, he'll be able to get back in time.

After thinking it over, he immediately instructed Kaiyang to convey his message to the advisory group on his behalf.
