Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1537 The Tide Reveals the Way Home

Gu Wenqing thought for a moment, then looked at Tang Wenzhao, "Junior brother, I remember when you installed auxiliary implants on the two falcons, did you leave any of their body tissue?"

Tang Wenzhao said, "Yes, there are also some blood and tissue samples."

Chen Chuan said, "If you have blood samples, that would be even better. Bring them all over; I need them."

He planned to first investigate Huo Zhuifeng's communication with this side. The best way would be to find that falcon or that Assistant Kou, but this didn't necessarily have to rely on technology; some extraordinary methods could also achieve the goal.

Tang Wenzhao immediately said, "I put the things in the car, I'll go get them now."

Gu Wenqing said, "Junior brother, I'll go with you."

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, his breathing became rapid, a dense rash of goosebumps rose on his skin, and a certain light shone in his eyes, as if a force was about to break out from within his body.

Tang and Yu, as if startled, took a few steps back.

These were all subconscious actions, and for some reason, the tremor they felt from Gu Wenqing was somewhat similar to that they felt from the fighter earlier.

At this moment, Gu Wenqing's brow twitched. The trace of spiritual power that Chen Chuan had just transmitted to him quickly entered his mind, like a cool stream of water poured down his forehead, calming down the restlessness in his body.

In just a short while, his rapid breathing and agitated mutated tissue were soothed and gradually calmed down.

He sensed it for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Chuan, asking hesitantly, "Commander Chen... what's wrong with me...?"

Chen Chuan said, "You should be able to sense it yourself; you're about to break through, but I don't think now is the most suitable time. That would be too wasteful of your talent."

I suggest you take it slow; this will allow you to achieve greater success in the future. Of course, this depends on your own willingness. If you feel the need to make a breakthrough now, then I can guide you again.

If he weren't here today, the arrival of that fighter, or any fighter appearing in front of Gu Wenqing, would likely have triggered a breakthrough due to their exceptional mental strength and intense sense of danger.

Huo Zhuifeng arranged for this student to be alone here, and he believed that this was the intention behind it.

However, in his opinion, although the arrangement was ingenious, it was still a bit too radical and failed to fully utilize Gu Wenqing's original talents, because the latter had the potential to reach even greater heights.

These are the talents who will fight against extraterrestrial demons after the great collision of the future. Now that he has seen them, he is willing to lend a hand.

Gu Wenqing was stunned for a moment. He did have a feeling that he was about to break through. If he could become a fighter, many things would be different.

He can help his master and do many things. Theoretically, his lifespan can be extended indefinitely. It can be said that once he enters that level, many things will be different, and his life will enter a brand new stage.

Yu Jingjing and Tang Wenzhao were also surprised to see him. They both knew that their senior brother was the one most valued by their teacher and the most likely to become a fighter, but they did not expect that he had almost broken through just now.

Yu Jingjing rolled her eyes and gave Gu Wenqing a thumbs up: "Senior brother, you're awesome! I heard that becoming a fighter means you're not short of money. I'm so envious!"

Gu Wenqing was still somewhat hesitant, but after hearing this, he coughed and said to Chen Chuan in a serious tone, "Thank you, Commander Chen. I feel that I do need to reflect for a while longer."

Yu Jingjing's eyes widened in surprise, and she muttered, "Is it really worth it for a thousand yuan? I'm impressed."

She gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, "I'll just skip buying that collector's edition at most, and transfer the money back to you." Then she mentally encouraged Gu Wenqing:

"Senior brother, you must do your best! My junior brother and I will live a life of luxury from now on, all thanks to you."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, you guys go get your things first. I'll borrow your room for a bit. You can bring your things up later."

Consultant Qing quickly agreed. At that moment, he suddenly received a message on his account and a sum of money was deposited into the temporary account he had set up.

This was the hotel's compensation to him. The hotel was quite clever; seeing how aggressively Sargis had come in but left in such a sorry state, they knew that there were even more powerful people on their side.

They failed to protect their clients and instead offended clients who seemed to have even greater influence, so they must provide compensation no matter what.

When Gu Wenqing saw the compensation figures, he felt refreshed and even his steps became lighter as he went out.

Chen Chuan returned to his room upstairs, where he cut open a rift, retrieved some ritual materials, and quickly set up a ritual.

When he was in Kavatua, he obtained many esoteric rituals from there. These rituals could indicate the approximate location of the target he needed to find, provided he had the body tissue of the target.

The ceremony itself was not complicated; it was just that the materials used for the setup and offerings were quite precious, but that was not a problem for him.

He brought quite a lot of things with him this time to deal with various complex situations.

After Gu and Tang came up with their items, he took the blood sample and placed it in the secret instrument, then activated it. Just a few minutes later, he saw some fragmented images through his mental field, seemingly on a coastline, along with some directional sensations.

He let Chaoming experience it too. Chaoming chirped at him, then jumped off his shoulder, flew out the window, and headed in that direction.

Judging from the footage, that place is likely in Chiluogado, but he is not worried about Chaoming. The latter can change size, has relics to protect him, and is fast enough to protect himself.

After the entire ceremony concluded, Gu Wenqing asked, "Commander Chen, what do we do next?"

Chen Chuan said, "You don't need to do anything now, just wait for news."

Judging from the footage just now, there might be something wrong with the falcon itself. If we can find some remaining traces, we might be able to determine the specific situation.

However, even if there is no problem with Huo Zhuifeng, the appearance and obstruction of Sagis today will definitely attract the attention of some high-level people behind him, and they will definitely pay more attention to this matter or conduct an in-depth investigation.

It's alright if it's just them, but if the Fusion and Refinement factions are alerted, things will become much more complicated. However, since he's here, he has to find out the truth.

The most crucial thing here is to hope that Huo Zhuifeng has actually found something useful. Once that's confirmed, everything else will be fine.

Less than two hours later, Chaoming returned.

Luozhijia Island and the southern part of Chiluojia are separated only by a strait, making them very close. Even a falcon can make a round trip in a day, so Chaoming, as a transcendent creature, is naturally even faster.

They also brought back a string of implants.

Chen Chuan showed it to the two of them, and Tang Wenzhao immediately recognized it as something he had attached to the Falcon for recording the journey. With this device, they could retrieve the details of the journey from it.

After obtaining Chen Chuan's permission, he immediately went to the car to connect with the creatures in the field. He then transmitted the information he had gathered there to Chen Chuan and Gu Wenqing's world records.

Chen Chuan glanced at it and noticed that the most important part was a string of codes. Gu Wenqing perked up and explained, "This should be the message our teacher passed on to us. Consultant Chen, I'll translate it right away."

He quickly translated the content and sent it to Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan glanced at the contents of the coded telegram, which was entirely Huo Zhuifeng's explanation. His first question was whether the message had not been received since the falcon sent last time had not returned.
In this way, he will explain the content from last time together with the content from this time.

He said he had found some particularly crucial clues and some evidence.

There are some important matters that he must investigate personally, and he is currently on his way to that research institute.

As for the documents and materials found, a copy has been prepared and given to Assistant Kou for safekeeping.

Below, he attached the address of Assistant Kou, who currently resides in a central city of Chirogado.

After Chen Chuan reviewed these images, the footage recorded in the implant was also sent over.

As we can see, when Falcon returned, he was spotted by a group of noble disciples of the Dhārajad who were hunting for rare treasures at sea. Upon seeing Falcon, they casually shot him.

The falcon was actually hit, but because its internal structure had been modified, it managed to reach the coastline of Rajika before finally crashing.

What Chaoming finally found were also gnawed remains. Fortunately, the recording implant was designed to deal with this kind of situation and was very tough, so it was not destroyed.

After reviewing the record, Chen Chuan checked the time and confirmed that it had been sent three days prior.

If Huo Zhuifeng's actions went smoothly, he might have already found a crucial clue. If not, what happened?
There is a very important point to note here: even if the falcon cannot report the situation, it can at least communicate by telegram.

But if there are no telegrams for five days in a row, it is very likely that they have encountered an insurmountable problem, or they have simply entered a signal-blocked area, so they are unable to do this.

Because he had an agreement with Huo Zhuifeng, not contacting him at a specific time was also sending a signal that he had encountered some kind of difficulty and needed Huo Zhuifeng's intervention.

He pondered for a moment. With Huo Zhuifeng's individual abilities, it was absolutely impossible for him to pose a threat without the intervention of a Dongxuan Temple fighter. However, the situation on Chiluojiado's side was complicated, and some things were probably completely unpredictable.

He thought for a moment, since the address of Assistant Kou was recorded, he figured that if he could find this person, he might be able to figure out what was going on.
