Chapter 684: Chapter 60 Rewards at Third Middle School (3/3)

"Outside the city, I’m not sure about Iron Hand, but Huo Qing’s great-aunt, who acts as a middleman, seems to be safe and has not encountered any disturbances,"

As he spoke, he revealed his familiarity with both Huo Qing and An Jing, as if he had a wealth of intimate knowledge about them. If An Jing hadn’t known that a high-ranking director like Chairman Chen could review other citizens’ information with just a thought, he would have suspected the latter had done a lot of homework to understand him: "Nian Quan is well-protected at school, but oddly, someone actually tried to kidnap him, and many schools have experienced similar attacks. A mysterious force seems to be out to abduct these genius students from the academies."

"As for Huo Qing, he is already a student at Third Middle School."

When it came to this point, Chairman Chen’s expression became somewhat enigmatic: "He either had good luck or foresaw it, as he happened to be at the Sky Surveillance Bureau... registering to pay the fee to cancel a bounty on Steel Skeleton?"

At this point, Chairman Chen showed a surprised expression, confirming that he had indeed been pulling up information on the fly: "Oh, it turns out that Steel Skeleton is Huo Qing’s elder, they’re all one family. Okay, I’ll instruct Jingqin to increase his treatment a bit more."

"You don’t seem to be worried about the chaos within the city though, Director."

Hearing that his friends were all fine, An Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was curious about Chairman Chen’s calm demeanor.

"It won’t be anything serious."

Chairman Chen evidently had been through many storms; he said calmly, "Although the city is indeed a bit empty, with Mengshan and Fu Yang here, and two Purple Mansion masters to maintain order, nothing major will happen."

"But the surroundings are truly chaotic. The rebellion on the Kun Demon side is quite abnormal, and both Lie Que True Lord and Chonghai True Lord, who defend Xuanye City, have gone there. With two Golden Core True Monarchs absent, that’s why those guys dared to cause trouble. Fortunately, Moon Tide True Lord, who had just returned from patrolling the Great Void aboard the Heavenly Ship, along with three True Monarchs, repelled the Kun Demon’s offensive—the Void Sky Sword we just saw happens to be Moon Tide True Lord’s mount."

Images of that Great Void Heavenly Ship surfaced in An Jing’s mind... Speaking of which, that Heavenly Ship looked very similar to the one he saw when leaving the Initial Cave.

An Jing slightly revised that scene, describing the Great Void Heavenly Ship he saw when entering the city, and after considering the timing, Chairman Chen suddenly smiled: "It is indeed Moon Tide True Lord’s ship—it seems you are fated to cross paths with him."

Since An Jing could now be considered the core of the core for Third Middle School, Chairman Chen simply disclosed some secrets that were shared openly in the group: "However, Moon Tide True Lord’s luck isn’t very good. His old self had left the Great Void defense line originally to escort a treasure, and he had to return immediately after finishing the escort. Unfortunately, as soon as he left, the item disappeared."

"The True Lord certainly won’t have any problems, but the people under him will suffer greatly. Truly, at that time, many were killed both inside and outside the city."

Chairman Chen’s words were said lightly, but An Jing knew the specifics of the "many" he was referring to.

The item that Moon Tide True Lord was escorting was clearly the Heavenly Profound True Talisman, and the disputes and killings surrounding the Heavenly Profound True Talisman involved no less than several thousand in the Black Market alone, counting those affected in the surrounding area, including slum dwellers and villagers driven out by Puppetry, the dead definitely exceeded tens of thousands.

—If it weren’t for the opening of the Ancient Immortal Ruins, continuous impacts like these would have definitely led to turmoil in Xuanye City.

In an instant, An Jing faintly understood why some within Luofu were willing to collaborate with Golden Crow, coercing Chonggang Town to open the gates.

They were not necessarily colluding with outsiders, but rather they saw the underlying turmoil brewing within Xuanye City, knowing that without a significant diversion, worse things would happen.

And the Cave Heaven gate he had opened in the North Lake Marsh District, while seemingly triggering a lot of conflict and turmoil, had actually provided a release valve—the tug-of-war between the major powers would revolve around it, preventing too direct and targeted actions against each other’s rear.

Such profound causal consequences indeed!

At this thought, An Jing’s flying shuttle was about to arrive at Third Middle School, escorted by military shuttles.

And suddenly, he felt blessed with a sudden epiphany, as if there were a Heavenly Revelation about to descend upon him—a profound understanding he was all too familiar with!

——Having reached the almost absolutely safe interior of Xuanye City, the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm deemed the incident over and began to settle the rewards for his Heavenly Mandate’s mission!

And this reward seems to be...

Another instance of Enlightenment!

"No, no, please not now!"

Upon realizing this, An Jing immediately panicked—not to mention that he was currently beside Chairman Chen, a True Man of the Purple Mansion, who might detect something if he were to experience Enlightenment. Moreover, he felt nothing that needed understanding at the moment!

He had already had an insight into the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban during the fight, just waiting for later practice, and his Martial Arts Meridian was flawless, only needing to slowly cultivate and accumulate his foundation over time——Enlightenment? He already had all that!

Unless... it’s about Array Formations and Artifact Refining!

Unless it’s inspiration in these two areas, otherwise he would rather not experience Enlightenment!

His strong will seemed to be resisting the beginning of Enlightenment, and in a flash, An Jing suddenly felt that the feeling of ’Heavenly Revelation’ he had previously sensed was weakening.

This was not an actual weakening, but rather a lurking presence... An Jing could sense that it was like a fishing trench, as soon as he was willing to ’touch’ it, the other party would definitely raise it quickly and pull him up!

"Can you actually control the timing of Enlightenment?"

Even Subdue Evil was shocked by this: "Is this really the Heavenly Dao? Would the Heavenly Dao even help you to this extent?"

"I am not just any ordinary Heavenly Mandate, I am a Heavenly Mandate from another world, one that has merited this world!"

As for this, An Jing did not find it strange at all, he suppressed the rising Heavenly Revelation within his heart and smiled, "What comes next is to pick a good time and opportunity for Enlightenment."

A good opportunity came right away.

As the space shuttle landed at Third Middle School, Chairman Chen turned his head to look at An Jing, who seemed to be daydreaming: "I forgot to ask all the way here——An Xuan, what reward do you want?"

"The rewards for the frontier wars are sent by the Conscript Bureau, but you have really made a significant contribution this time——tell me, as long as it is within our power to do so, we will satisfy your request!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, An Jing did not hesitate at all and said straightforwardly: "I came to Xuanye City to learn better skills in Array Formation and Artifact Refining——I have already laid the foundation for all other knowledge, but only these two, Xuanye City’s skills are certainly far beyond what we have back home."

"Chairman Chen, could you grant me access to the high-level Array Formation and Artifact Refining materials within the school?"
