Chapter 1566 Planting Roots and Building a Hut

Chen Chuan could directly perceive the movements of the power clone through his mind.

His original plan was to take Huang Quji down directly if Huang Quji resisted or refused to cooperate, and then he would personally dispatch personnel to resolve the matter.

Since Huang Quji has been very cooperative, it's better to use his mistakes than his merits; let him take charge of the matter first.

If handled well, some of the culpability may be reduced or exempted; if handled improperly, both the initial and subsequent responsibilities will be investigated.

Although the other party has a background in the cultivation sect, it is clear that this person has his own ideas and may have other intentions. It is necessary to observe him further.

He continued to focus on his spiritual practice.

Because he recently found a new goal and method of cultivation, and felt a sense of urgency before the great collision, he devoted almost all his time to cultivation.

As a result, he made rapid progress, with his strength increasing almost every day, moving towards the pinnacle he could reach.

By the end of early April, Naruko's investigation was completed.

If a Dongxuan Temple, especially one with divine manifestations, conducts a purposeful investigation without any restrictions, then unless another Dongxuan Temple is watching it constantly, no one can guard against it.

After gathering all the evidence, he immediately returned to Zhongjing and handed it all over to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan checked and found that the conservatives were actually very cautious. Most of the evidence had been destroyed, and only some pieces that could not stand alone as evidence were damaged.

However, when these damaged parts come together, it becomes clear that things are not so simple and can form a complete chain.

He doesn't need much substantial evidence; this is enough.

His plan is to push himself to the top by the end of the month or in May, making all the preparations for the breakthrough in the meantime, and then taking action before the breakthrough.

Even if higher-ups intervene, at worst, I can break through to the upper echelons on the spot and still do what I want.

He glanced at Chiluojiado's side again; Huang Quji's sustained attacks were beginning to take effect.

The official from Dhrogata was initially protesting, but the Shun side completely ignored him. Recently, however, he has gradually changed his tune and has begun to defend the Shun side. It seems that he is about to give up.

He didn't pay much attention to it, and there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy internationally recently.

During this period, the advisory group organized a team that could provide assistance to other countries at any time. Of course, it wasn't the advisors themselves who took charge; the members were experienced fighters from the Dongxuan Temple who had long been stationed near the World Ring.

If other countries encounter difficulties or request assistance, they will rush to provide aid immediately. However, so far, the situation predicted by the advisory group has not materialized. But as long as extraterrestrial invasions continue, such events will inevitably occur sooner or later.

After seeing these things, he continued to immerse himself in his spiritual practice.

With his wholehearted dedication, his cultivation yielded remarkable results. By mid-April, not only had his cultivation level greatly improved, but the field he had created had also been able to stabilize for some time.

Although observing the collision between the two worlds and receiving that information still puts him under immense pressure, and he inevitably feels exhausted afterward, this is perfectly normal because it touches upon the higher levels. As long as he hasn't broken through the limits, this is unavoidable.

But by this point, he felt he could try to create his own celestial abode, or rather, a place of his own.

Such a thing needs to be done in the opposite world, and outside the world ring, to avoid interference.

But that would also be more dangerous.

Fortunately, the previous successful defense against the invasion had wiped out a large number of extraterrestrial demons, so the small-scale mindless demons could be ignored. If necessary, they could clear them out again in advance.

After making up his mind, he did not wait any longer. He put away the Lesser True Wonderland and summoned his clone who was outside collecting immortal seeds.

Not long after, the clone arrived and delivered the recently obtained immortal seed.

Chen Chuan glanced at them and saw that there were about a dozen, most of them of low quality. After all, high-quality Immortal Abodes were extremely difficult to obtain and depended entirely on luck.

However, these are only for enrichment and nourishment, not for creation, so it doesn't matter.

After putting it away, he adjusted his breathing, and his gaze gradually became distant.

Behind him, a phantom flickered, and a huge human figure appeared. At this moment, the colors on the human figure became exceptionally rich, yet not overly dazzling.

This is the result of his cultivation; as he improves himself, his human form also improves and grows stronger.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the void, and the human figure outside him also assumed the same posture at the same time, with a ring of ribbons fluttering around him and light overflowing.

He closed his eyes, and as the light from his third eye flickered, his entire aura expanded outwards. When it reached its limit, it gradually surged and rolled, forming a truly independent space.

But he knew that wasn't enough. This airspace was monotonous and lacked variation, and it wasn't resilient enough to withstand the transformative power of breaking through to the next realm. So, he needed internal reinforcement and refinement, as well as external tempering.

He took out an ordinary-quality immortal seed and let it fall into his own domain. The immortal seed was quickly enveloped by a cloud of white mist and then slowly settled into the depths of the domain.

He could sense that the immortal seed was very averse to its own field. This was because once an immortal seed grew, it could form its own domain, and naturally, they would not blend together.

This requires him to find a way to refine and absorb it.

At this moment, as he turned his thoughts, the immortal seed tumbled within the mist, its light gradually dimming, as if it were being worn away bit by bit.

After a long time, it completely dissipated into wisps of golden streams, which were then peeled away and absorbed bit by bit. In the end, all the essence within was merged and integrated into the field.

After a while, he felt that he had completely digested the substance, and he could sense that the field had become slightly more stable.

Seeing that it worked, he stopped trying them one by one and simply scattered four immortal seeds at once.

This time, the digestion took a little longer. As the golden mist formed from these immortal seeds was gradually absorbed, the feeling of stability in the field became even stronger.

However, at this moment he seemed to sense something, as if there was an additional layer of obstruction somewhere. In a flash of his eyes, the Great Bright Light Style, the Great Azure Sky Style, and the Pure Spiritual Light all emanated and merged with the field.

Almost at the same moment, wisps of black mist and blinding light drifted out from the field.

He immediately understood that this was because these immortal seeds were of low quality, resulting in contamination within them. If he couldn't expel them, the field would likely be polluted as well.

This is why it is best to use high-quality immortal seeds when setting up a site, as those seeds are almost free of impurities, thus eliminating the need for this extra step.
However, if the foundation and location are based on a celestial seed, he cannot change anything; the type of celestial seed determines the type of celestial dwelling that can be created.

Now he is creating his own space based on his own domain, so everything is based on him and he has a much higher degree of autonomy, which makes him feel more and more that this path is the right one.

If that's the case, he can even make use of some low-quality immortal seeds.

Then he could simply ask the advisory group for some. Generally speaking, high-quality immortal seeds are hard to obtain, but low-quality ones are actually quite plentiful.

In addition, he can use his advisory authority to request his subordinates to collect such immortal seeds.

Since high-quality immortal seeds are hard to collect, let's just win by quantity.

Of course, we can arrange these things when we get back. Today, while there are no distractions, let's absorb what we can first.

So in the following time, he absorbed and fused the immortal seeds in his hand one by one. Finally, he took out the immortal seed that he had obtained from the old imperial palace and put it into it as well.

High-quality immortal seeds do feel different. If low-quality immortal seeds are just a cup of bitter tea, then this can be called immortal brew. Not only are they free of impurities, but the stability they provide after absorption is incomparable to the previous immortal seeds.

Unfortunately, such things are extremely rare. Not only are they in demand here, but even the demons in the other world are eyeing them, so they can only wait for an opportunity.

However, even if there is nothing special, using a medium-to-low-quality immortal seed is the same, since it is only a supplement, and ultimately it still depends on its own power to expand and support.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that the field outside him had formed a unique spatial barrier, just like the Lesser True Wonderland. Perhaps it didn't have those inner scenes and changes now, but as his realm and power improved, he believed it would gradually be perfected in the future.

Especially since it was created by himself and is perfectly in harmony with himself, it will also be his protection and reliance when he pursues breaking through limits.

With this layer of protection, he thought he could also find a way to see and receive more information about the collision between the two worlds and the upper levels.

With this in mind, he retreated to the vicinity of the World Ring, and then, as one with the world, he looked at the two worlds that were merging.

This time, he persisted for longer than ever before, but as such, he discovered that he wasn't the only one observing this; there were other individuals as well, and the traces were simply elusive.

He dared to say that in this world, no one below the upper echelons possessed this ability, not even himself. Even if it came from outer space, it wouldn't give him this sense of uncertainty. So... it must be an upper echelon power?

Are the higher-ups also keeping an eye on these things?

And it seems that it comes not only from this world, but also from higher forces outside the heavens.

Once he realized this, he immediately focused his attention to avoid attracting the other party's attention.

Fortunately, out of caution, he did this near the World Ring, under its protection, so even if it attracted the attention of the higher-ups outside, it wouldn't matter.
