Chapter 680: Chapter 56 Heavenly Supervisor (2/3)

This is not really a back door.

If anything, it’s an additional feature that helps cultivators discern their physical condition, heal internal injuries, and gain a better understanding of their own bodies.

If one is unaware of their specific situation, or the specific situation of their student, even the best teachers would be at a loss on how to proceed, and any discussion of one’s own progress and improvement would be out of the question.

If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed at this moment, eagerly swallowing the elixir and directly refining it—Chairman Chen certainly wouldn’t mind having a protector, the guidance of a True Person at the peak of Purple Mansion, assist with healing hidden injuries and dispelling Demonic Qi, which would undeniably be of tremendous help.

But An Jing is different: he truly has something formidable to hide and cannot afford to have his strength completely exposed.

If his true abilities were to be fully uncovered, not only would his physical Foundation Establishment be revealed, but also the fact that his cultivation level had reached the Martial Meridian would be laid bare. Although the Inner Array Realm is not so easily detectable, why take the risk of such an accident?

"Aren’t you going to take it?"

Noticing that An Jing had put away the Seven-Returning Great Pill back into the Great Void Magical Instrument, Chairman Chen was somewhat puzzled, to which An Jing explained, "My teacher instructs me to lay a solid foundation step by step. It’s permissible to have the assistance of elixirs, but only after I have obtained permission under his observation."

This lie made An Jing feel somewhat uncomfortable; although he didn’t mind lying, he was indeed not adept at it, and if someone skilled at observing speech were present, they would immediately detect something off about An Jing.

"Very well, follow your master’s instructions."

But Chairman Chen didn’t think too much about it; he was so pleased at the moment that he could find a justification for anything An Jing did. It did not matter if what An Jing said sounded reasonable—or even if An Jing threw the elixir on the ground, smashed it with his sword, declaring ’As a Sword Cultivator, I rely on nothing external!’—Chairman Chen could completely accept it.

Because this is exactly the stereotype of Sword Cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm!

There are also stereotypes such as ’artifact cultivators scavenging garbage and collecting materials everywhere,’ ’alchemy cultivators deceiving people into testing new elixirs every day,’ ’Formation Cultivators mixed up with their Great Formations for a lifetime, never finding a partner,’ and the notion that ’Talisman Cultivators earn money like running water, spend like a waterfall, all of them poor, unless they are greedy for money.’

In any case, Chairman Chen’s opinion of An Jing was more than just favorable—it was astonishingly exceptional.

Though aware that An Jing possessed a Purple Mansion Treasure for protection, seeing An Jing’s body refinement at the Foundation Establishment level, being able to activate the Purple Mansion Treasure to halt the progress of the Kun Demon, and even possessing great expertise in Formation, capable of uniting everyone’s strength into one.

As for the Secret Void Technique, although Chairman Chen hadn’t witnessed it personally, he believed it entirely, because An Jing’s performance in the written test had already demonstrated his technical proficiency.

However, the wait for ’the arrival of the people from the Cave Heaven’ didn’t take long at all.

After two quarters of an hour, a large group of people descended upon the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

First, a swath of twilight-like, reddish-purple brilliance fell like liquid mercury, and a tall Yuhua Cultivator passed through the gateway of the Cave Heaven, arriving upon the lands of the Ancient Immortal Ruins.

Following that, were a series of sharp cries, together with the black Armor arriving with the sound of thunder, a large troop of the Fengdu Guards from the Sky Surveillance Bureau also descended behind that tall Yuhua Cultivator.

This Yuhua Cultivator was clad in purplish gallant Armor; her face was covered by armor, but as she stepped closer to Chairman Chen, the helmet on her face retracted, revealing a beautiful face constructed of liquid metal.

"I pay my respects to Master Qingyi."

She clasped her fists and bowed in greeting, and Chairman Chen also nodded slightly: "Heavenly Supervisor... Little Jingqin, you have indeed accomplished much. No need to be so formal, just call me uncle. The fact that your father sent you this time indicates he regards this matter with great importance."

This Heavenly Supervisor was a Daoist Soldier Magic Guard directly serving under Luofu Cave Heaven and was naturally of Cave Heaven Bloodline. She was an old acquaintance of Chairman Chen and their conversation was quite casual: "Uncle Qingyi, it was I who volunteered to come. Father had originally planned to come personally, but he had some old grievances with Lie Que True Lord, and although the True Lord does not hold grudges against the younger generation like me, if father came, there would likely be turmoil that could disrupt the entire city."

Hearing this, how could An Jing not understand the weight behind ’with me here, we won’t be at a disadvantage’? So this is what Cave Heaven People are like. Since they are all family, indeed they will not suffer losses. Since credit goes to family members, they will naturally abide by the rules and act reasonably, no matter who it is.

"This is..."

At this moment, the Heavenly Supervisor turned her head to look at An Jing, while Chairman Chen placed his hand on An Jing’s shoulder: "This is our top student from Jingwei Academy, An Xuan. He is also the young hero who opened the gates to Cave Heaven in the recent war."

"So you are Chief An. Greetings, I am Chen Jingqin, the Heavenly Supervisor of Luofu Cave Heaven. Here is my badge number; I have some procedural matters that I need your assistance with. May I proceed? If so, I will activate the law enforcement recorder."

The Heavenly Supervisor spoke to An Jing in a friendly tone, and An Jing naturally agreed, prompting her to switch on the recorder and ask about topics such as the whereabouts of the Kun Demon Golden Crow and the final situation of the Ganyuan Sea trio.

An Jing gave a detailed account. The Heavenly Supervisor paid the most attention to the whereabouts of the Kun Demon, asking in great detail, as if she even wanted to know into how many pieces the demon had split. But she was rather hasty in asking about the Golden Crow and the Ganyuan Sea, seeming to only inquire out of duty.

An Jing found this very familiar: It’s certain that within Luofu there’s a group with connections to the Golden Crow and Ganyuan Sea, it’s just that this time Shouyang Mountain got to them first. The Kun Demon is an enemy, so of course, it warrants detailed questioning. As for the Golden Crow, it’s Luofu’s future dark horse, so naturally, they make a token registration, considering they’ll also have use for it in the future.

It’s even more so with Ganyuan Sea.

If An Jing isn’t mistaken, the Ganyuan Sea trio should be ’ship spirits’ specially bred in the shipyards of the Ancient Immortal Ruins back in the day!

If swords can have Artifact Spirits, then the Great Void Heavenly Ships definitely have them too! Those strange Soul Spirits seeking their own bodies, the bodies they seek are probably those of ’Dao Courtyard warships’ from the Ancient Immortal Ruins!

If they succeed, they will undoubtedly become a powerful force. All parties will surely want their support to make them allies, so as long as they remain under control, they will be gently let off.

"Thank you very much for your assistance. You truly are the cream of the crop of our Xuanye City’s youth."

After the questioning, the Heavenly Supervisor smiled and nodded, then stepped aside to look at Chairman Chen—this meant An Jing was free to leave.

"Let’s be on our way then."

Chairman Chen also nodded slightly. In reality, according to standard procedure, An Jing would still need to be debriefed about the details of the previous battle and the enemies he had killed, and who exactly was behind the automatic Puppetry of Shouyang Mountain—the permits for the war of conquest could be issued after the fight, and the details could be notified to An Jing for his statement after the news release. All of this was pretty standard.

The real truth, if needed, Chairman Chen would ask himself. That would effectively mean Cave Heaven was informed, so there was no need to specifically go through the Heavenly Supervisor, to avoid attracting too many opinions and causing conflicts.

"Let’s go."

Chairman Chen gestured grandly, and a wisp of Ghostly Glow Void Qi amidst the Stars and Great Void rose, lifting up everyone from Third Middle School onto a disc of lunar ice. He flew with An Jing and the others out of Cave Heaven, leaving behind Steel Skeleton and Qu Tong’s group.

The Heavenly Supervisor who also stayed behind approached, and this time, her tone was no longer as gentle but strictly businesslike.
