All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes

Chapter 601: Chapter 202: People of Xuanye City

In the Tianyuan Realm, Magic Artifacts and magic treasures, talismans and elixirs are of a higher technological standard compared to the Huai Xu Realm. Even a Spirit Awakening Cultivator can hold a Qi Refining Artifact, and it’s not impossible for a Qi Refiner with substantial wealth to have a Foundation Establishment talisman as their prized possession.

Of course, this advantage disappears at the Foundation Establishment level and above.

Unless part of a prominent family, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can at most possess a peak second-rate Artifact, never capable of having a third-rate magic treasure for protection.

So, the owner of a peak Purple Mansion magic treasure, the backer behind An Xuan, is definitely at least a True Person from a high or mid-rank ’Heavenly Furnace Dao Concealment’, a major power in the Wilderness!

Such a force, theoretically, all should be named, but the Wilderness is so vast that the Human Clan simply cannot clarify how many Loose Cultivators there are, let alone the number of Ancient Eras.

In history, there even existed ’Loose Cultivators’ who reached the peaks of Nascent Soul and Dao Embryo, Heavenly Lords, who quickly established major forces, which later became known as the Guiyi Army. This is enough to illustrate the chaos in the Wilderness.

"Why would such a force take such a lowly route into Xuanye City?"

Taking Yan Chengju away, Mr. Guan was full of doubts in his heart, but soon gave up on pondering: "Forget it, I will report back to the old master first."

"When dealing with the offspring of such a major force, caution is needed. Safety is more important than profit!"

Safety is the primary concern for prominent families. They already possess much, not coveting more, but longing for stability rather than towering achievements, emphasizing steadiness over immediate gain, gambling being a pastime for the mud-legged only.

Especially for descendants of great families like An Xuan, what they seek can’t simply be the wealth from spiritual objects.

If An Jing had heard what Mr. Guan said, he would’ve scolded him for not understanding etiquette at all. What does it mean not to bribe with Good Deeds and spiritual objects? He absolutely could, just needed to raise the price.

At least, if willing to pay a friend fee, An Jing certainly didn’t mind dealing with the prominent families, providing another channel to understand Xuanye City.

After all, Mr. Guan was a rare elite Foundation Establishment artifact cultivator, able to detect the protection coming from the Kanming Bell on An Jing. He quickly retreated upon sensing something amiss. Although he drew a sideways glance from An Jing, he did not realize who the other party was.

"Yan Family?"

But Principal He was more familiar with the local families of Xuanye City. He recognized the new arrival at a glance and was surprisingly puzzled: "Why did they leave?"

Principal He was not surprised that they came; it was only natural for the Yan Family to take notice of An Xuan— what surprised him was that they came and did not show themselves, nor did they seek to buy influence or establish connections, which was quite uncommon for the prominent families he knew.

Could it be...

Principal He thoughtfully looked towards An Jing. He wasn’t an artifact cultivator, and the Kanming Bell wasn’t a sword. His cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment level, so his perception in this regard was slightly less sensitive, unable to notice it even though the concealment technique of the Kanming Bell wasn’t that intricate.

However, his thoughts were sharp, and he knew the reason must lie with this mysterious genius from the Wilderness.

An Jing noticed Principal He’s gaze, but he currently did not have the energy to pay attention to it.

Just now, with the help of the Sky Surveillance Bureau officials, he had successfully installed the latest, highest grade ’sixth generation chip’, designed exclusively for top Spirit Roots and Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Though it was called installation, it actually didn’t require surgery—that was for newborns without the capability for independent thought. A cultivator like him just needed to use a special technique to refine and integrate the chip into his body.

As the highest level of technology in Tianyuan realm to date, an invention not even available in the Huai Xu Realm, the chip was connected not just with Soul and Spirit but also the whole nervous system.

Other Huai Xu Martial Artists would never allow such an external invention to enter their Soul and Spirit, especially since all these chips had backdoors installed by major conglomerates. Once equipped, it would be virtually impossible to ever pose a threat to them.

Others had no choice because they were shackled with this device from birth, and the people from the Wilderness would rather be dogs for the major conglomerates if it meant getting a chance to be dogs within the city.

But An Jing was different.

Wishing to take advantage of the chip in the Divine Sea of An Jing, where talents gathered and deities converged, was wishful thinking.

The chip’s interfacing with the nervous system, on the other hand, intrigued An Jing.

Because, it felt... similar to ’Magic Prohibition’.

Under the equipment of the Sky Surveillance Bureau, An Jing felt the chip continuously gather Spiritual Fiend energy, releasing Magic Prohibition around his body. Unlike the Magic Prohibition released by the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and the Ancestral Dragon kind, the chip’s Magic Prohibition was very subtle but precise, matching perfectly with An Jing’s nervous system.

It actually couldn’t do any harm; on the contrary, it could enhance An Jing’s nerve sensitivity and counter-gravity, strengthening his resistance against Demonic Qi corruption.

But if An Jing wanted to tackle the company, especially the Luofu Group, then the backdoor in the chip would plunge An Jing into a frenzy, confusion, and pain, or even at critical moments prevent An Jing from seeing some key things or forgetting some significant information.

This kind of deceit would be the greatest harm to a ’Cultivator.’

But who asked An Jing to cultivate the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and the True Spirit Blood, which were similar in nature? An Jing’s physical body, tendons, and nerves had long been enhanced by Heaven’s Virtue, and these Magic Prohibitions were too weak. If An Jing wished to cooperate, then they could be activated; if not, they would just self-destruct.

"Not a very stringent restriction, no wonder so many people can remove the chip and run off to the Wilderness."

Realizing this, An Jing became enlightened: "This thing is indeed good, it can enhance my strength considerably."

Low-level chips could at most monitor internal conditions, improve resistance to Demonic Qi, and let the Cultivator know how much Spirit Qi they still have and the condition of damage to body parts. But higher-level ones can automatically run some Protective Body Skills, ensuring continuous operation even during sleep, attaining a state that once only the Purple Mansion True Man could possess.

And as the latest generation, the sixth-generation chip, it can even assist in locking onto targets, allowing An Jing to determine the enemy’s movements through the chip’s calculations without any effort. Paired with a decent Sword Box, An Jing might even boast the status of having a never-ceasing automatic aiming system.

Even now, An Jing has his own data list.

[An Xuan (registered as a citizen of Xuanye City at 12:52:41 PM, Tianyuan year 5527, citizen number 5527-05715152), 15 years old]

[Heavenly Spiritual Root (Metal 9, Water 6, Wood 5, Fire and Earth inconspicuous)]

[Strength, Qi Refinement Third Level, usable Spiritual Fiends (328/365)]

[Life Signs: Good (Mood relaxed, low stress, Spirit Qi circulating well, Life Essence plentiful, physical strength full)]

[Employment: Xuanye City Third Middle School free auditor (Guarantor: Third Middle School Principal, He Yongzhi)]

[Account Details: 0 Good Deeds]

Although these data were crude and intentionally disguised by An Jing, not reflecting the true data, they were sufficient to show why the Cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm were so precise in combat—they were not blinded by their own emotions or by Heavenly Demons, but had solid and unchanging data to support them.

And now, he finally doesn’t need to have Huo Qing make purchases for him, nor does he need to run around with Good Deeds vouchers—he too had an account on the Spiritual Network, capable of making payments and transactions online!

[Huo Qing - Request to add to contact list]

[Nian Quan - Request to add to contact list]

[He Yongzhi - Request to add to contact list]

In an instant, three messages popped up, and An Jing added each one by one.

"It’ll be more convenient to contact each other in the future!" Nian Quan was the happiest, as Huo Qing often moved with An Jing, while he had more school tasks and sometimes couldn’t be reached in a hurry.

"Don’t rush to look around just yet, you haven’t loaded the firewall and blocking software."

Huo Qing was more cautious. His eyes flickered with Spiritual Light as if to transmit something to An Jing, but An Jing’s movements were much faster than his transfer.

Lifting his head, An Jing surveyed the city around him.

Immediately, a multitude of hidden QR codes and various junk messages locked in by the chip began to jump with links, and the deluge of Spiritual Network news, all kinds of advertisements and noise, and worthless junk information and bizarre radio waves filled his mind and ears.

For a moment, the influx of light and information was even more dizzying than the Heavenly Demon Qi.

"Ha, this brings back memories."

But An Jing wasn’t the least bit panicked; with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he pressed down all these stray thoughts and trash messages, not even needing the blocking software and firewall that Huo Qing had just transferred.

He even started to laugh, with a hint of red glint flickering in his eyes: "Did not expect this is what the people of Xuanye City experience every day? Truly remarkable, it really toughens you up."

No wonder there are distinctions between people of the Wilderness, the Safe Zone, and the city folks; this division is not strange at all, in fact, it’s quite to be expected.

Whether one has a chip or can resonate with the Spiritual Network, in the Tianyuan Realm, indeed defines different worlds of people.

And today, An Jing has become a true ’person of Xuanye City.’
