Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 87 The Undisputed Strongest Talent, a Celestial Treasure with an Upper Limit

As for what Elder Zhong said about possessing a power stronger than his own, it was naturally the Rat Talisman. However, the Rat Talisman could not actually be used as a basis for Ye Xuan's strength to surpass Elder Zhong's.

Is the upper limit of the Rat Talisman, or rather, the strength of the Holy Lord at his peak, stronger than that of "Zhongli"?

In the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, under the rule of balance between good and evil, the upper limit would naturally fluctuate. However, in this world, the upper limit of the Rat Talisman only depends on the original Shendu, and Shendu's strength could not possibly be stronger than "Zhongli" at his peak.

In a sense, this is also true of Professor Zhong.

"I've already made a contract with you, how could I not improve?"

"It's hard not to improve!"

"You are the only known fifth-order individual in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and even the whole world, besides Elder Zhong."

"Those two extra people who were suspected to be fifth-tier individuals, weren't they also you? And the other one was probably also one of your schemes?"

"I should have understood when Kunlun was mentioned, but unfortunately I didn't dare to think about it at the time because the gap in strength was too great."

When Su Mengyao heard about the suspected battle between two fifth-tier experts in the Kunlun Mountains, the first person that came to her mind was Ye Xuan, because Ye Xuan had also been to Kunlun at that time.

However, since she was a fifth-tier expert, she felt that Ye Xuan could not possibly have raised his strength to the fifth tier, so she didn't say anything; after having doubts, the Imperial Capital Tian Shu Bureau also ruled out Ye Xuan as a possibility.

No one could have imagined that the holder of the All-Heavens Character Template would possess strength surpassing that of the character itself in such a short period of time.

As for progress, Ye Xuan is the only fifth-tier powerhouse on the entire Blue Star besides Elder Zhong, and is also recognized by the entire internet as the "most talented person". Even without the Wangquan Baye template, he has the potential to become a top powerhouse or even the strongest in the Great Xia.

As his contractor, Su Mengyao has practically risen to the top in one step; if it weren't for Ye Xuan's importance, she should have been transferred to the Imperial Capital Bureau to take on a more important position.

Even so, her "responsibilities" are being added on and on.

As a result, she gained many more friends in the political arena; and within her family, expectations for her grew ever higher.

As for their purpose, she knew it very well, and everyone else knew it too.

Logically speaking, having entered the arena of power, she should have gladly accepted these things. As a member of the family, she enjoyed the benefits brought by the family, and when she had the ability, she should also contribute to the family.

Anyway, with Elder Zhong suppressing things from above, what she can and does will only be within the permissible range.

She would do the same; but doing it and knowing whether she is doing it correctly are not contradictory.

She wouldn't refuse anything within her capabilities, given the various factors at play; however, she would never agree to anything involving Ye Xuan.

She knew clearly what she was relying on.

The First Conference Room of the Tian Shu General Bureau in the Imperial Capital.

Inside the spacious conference room, long tables were filled with people in different uniforms, their epaulets and badges indicating their identities.

Unlike previous internal meetings led by the Tian Shu Bureau, this meeting covered a wide range of topics, so the participants were also different.

The reason for choosing this location is because it concerns "spiritual energy," which falls within the scope of the Tian Shu Bureau's responsibilities.

At the head of the table, a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples gently tapped the table, his voice steady and firm:
"Regarding the turmoil caused by the first spiritual energy tide, it has now been basically quelled thanks to the coordinated efforts of various departments." "In particular, the Tian Shu Bureau efficiently suppressed all mutated creature riots, including those in the urban area, within twelve hours, minimizing the losses. This deserves special commendation."

His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on the Tian Shu Bureau seat, where he nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, a resolute-looking man, the head of the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu Bureau, stood up, nodded to those around him, and spoke in a calm yet solemn tone:
"It is my duty, and I dare not claim credit."

The middle-aged man smiled and turned his gaze to the other end of the long table, where an elderly man with white hair sat. Although he was thin, he had a profound and dignified air about him.

"However, the fact that this operation went so smoothly is largely due to Old Li's precognitive abilities."

“If you hadn’t foreseen the arrival of the spiritual energy tide, our preparations wouldn’t have been so thorough.”

His voice was filled with respect as he bowed slightly towards Li Cheng'an's position. Upon seeing this, those around him immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Elder Li.

Li Cheng'an slowly shook his head, stood up as well, and said in a calm but firm tone:
"I was merely doing my duty."

"The stability of the Great Xia is more important than anything else."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded solemnly, then his expression turned serious as he continued:
"Although the beast tide has ended, and based on observations over this period, the situation in various regions has gradually stabilized. Apart from a few mutated creatures injuring people, there has been no further large-scale beast tide gatherings like those during the spiritual energy tides."

"But we cannot let our guard down."

"Going forward, we hope that all departments will continue to cooperate with the Tian Shu Bureau's actions, with the safety of the public as the top priority."

"In addition, the training of people with superpowers should not be neglected."

The mutated creatures that have emerged so far are still first- and second-order mutants, which do not pose a significant threat to humans; even if they harm people, their numbers are limited unless they gather in large numbers.

However, as the spiritual energy tide deepens, mutated creatures of the third, fourth, or even stronger order will eventually appear. In their definition, even a third-order creature can directly confront a small armed force and ignore the damage from firearms.

If a mutated creature of this level appears and is not dealt with immediately, the death toll will not be just a few people.

The holders of the treasures of the heavens are ultimately only a minority. The superhumans who emerge in large numbers under the tide of spiritual energy are the ones they need to focus on cultivating in the future.

Of course, this focus on training refers to the core strength, but the most important are still those who possess the treasures of the heavens, unless the superhumans being trained have unimaginable talents.

The papers were turned over, and the heads of the various departments had no objections.

Wang Shouguo, the head of the Imperial Capital Tian Shu Bureau, also spoke up at this moment:
"After the spiritual energy tide, Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo and others have accelerated their cultivation speed and improved their strength. Although they have not yet reached the third level, they are not far off."

"At the rate at which their strength is improving, they will be able to reach the third tier in at most half a month."

"It is worth noting that during this spiritual energy tide, they all awakened their respective special abilities, and these abilities were highly compatible with their respective celestial treasures."

"In response, the research institute's preliminary research suggests that this may be due to a certain adaptive evolution of the body after long-term contact with the treasures of the heavens, resulting in the awakened superpower resonating with its characteristics."

"But in any case, this is a good thing for them personally, and even for the overall improvement of the Tian Shu Bureau's combat strength."

"The treasures of the heavens have their limits, but supernatural abilities, at least for now, have no known limit."
