Chapter 1202: Collecting Treasures

After obtaining that fine jade, Chen Chuan had the technical team from the Delegation examine it.

Now it seemed they had a result.

He went straight to the technical team, and the appraiser said, "Director, we used Ritual Manifestation to reveal the inscriptions and compared the carvings. We believe this jade may have some connection to the Tianji Sect."

"The Tianji Sect?"

Chen Chuan was slightly moved. This answer wasn't too surprising, given that this was the Ying Continent, and the largest Xuanjiao sect here was the Tianji Sect.

"Yes, when the Tianji Sect's scholars first arrived in Yingzhou, they established their own set of Secret Talismans to distinguish themselves from the locals and avoid trouble. These talismans were initially not recognized by the orthodox Xuanjiao and were criticized as wild symbols. However, after the old era, the Tianji Sect became the largest Xuanjiao organization in the world, and these talismans were gradually accepted and widely used."

Chen Chuan said, "These are their widely used talismans? Can you understand the inscriptions?"

The appraiser replied, "Sorry, Director. Xuanjiao has always had two systems: one for external use and one for internal use. The internal ones often have Ritual communication powers and are kept secret. We believe this is one of the secret ones, but we can't determine its specific meaning."

Chen Chuan nodded, "Any other discoveries?"

"Another one."

The appraiser seemed excited, "We found that the material of this jade likely comes from Ming Hill. We've only seen one piece in our collection before, and we didn't expect to see it again."

Ming Hill?

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. He had heard of this name before. After obtaining the secret archives last time, he found many Xuanjiao texts.

Ming Hill was a legendary Xuanjiao mountain, but it didn't exist in the real world. It was a "transcendent mountain" in the sky.

In modern terms, it might be a Xuanjiao sanctuary in the Confluence Zone, or perhaps a location named by the Xuanjiao.

The jade from this mountain was no ordinary material. It was said to be a fluid that solidified into jade once extracted, known as "Everflowing Jade Preservation, Timeless Resistance." If used in Rituals, it could ensure the structure would last for millions of years without damage.

This material was extremely rare, so it was only used by the imperial family and in some Xuanjiao secret ceremonies.

The appraiser said, "After our research, we found that Ming Qiu Jade has another function. When combined with certain esoteric materials, it can harmonize the spirit and the physical body, improving the efficiency of a fighter's cultivation. This was not recorded in ancient texts and was discovered through long-term research in our collection. It might have even more effective uses in the old sects."

At the end, he sounded a bit regretful.

Chen Chuan nodded. It made sense that this material could be used to form an earthly body. Some imperial members and Xuanjiao practitioners might use it for cultivation.

However, harmonizing the spirit and the physical body...

He suddenly thought that to achieve the perfect Dongxuan Temple state, one needed to break through the barrier in both spirit and body.

If this material was truly effective, it was worth investigating its use.

Perhaps it was time to visit the Tianji Sect. He had always planned to, but had never had the chance.

However, he might have to wait a while. He had just put the Federation in a difficult position, and they probably wouldn't let him move freely anytime soon.

After thanking the appraiser, he left the room. His boundary token buzzed with a message from Commander Xie, so he headed directly to Commander Xie's residence.

It was a six-story building on the north side of the estate, surrounded by armed guards and resonators, with delicate silver maples planted around it. The leaves' rich hues of gold and red contrasted beautifully with the surrounding red rocks.

The guard opened the door for him, and he walked in, closing it gently behind him. He saw Commander Xie at a desk in the first-floor hall, reviewing some documents.

The large windows let in plenty of light, making the hall bright. Chen Chuan could see several sealed envelopes with confidential markings.

Commander Xie greeted him and picked out a file, walking over and handing it to him. "Director Chen, this is from home."

Chen Chuan took it and sat in a nearby armchair, opening the file. It turned out to be a telegram from the Purity Sect.

The Purity Sect highly praised his recent actions.

By defeating the opposing force and forcing the Federation to seal the Rift, he had done exactly what the Purity Sect wanted.

Due to the Delegation's discipline, he had only reported to the foreign affairs department and not informed the Purity Sect directly. The Purity Sect must have received the news from their members in the Federation. The telegram included contact information for some Federation Purity Sect members.

As one of the five major sects, the Purity Sect had a presence not only in Da Shun but also in the Federation. However, their strength was greatest in Da Shun, and their presence in the Federation was relatively scattered, especially on the West Coast, where they constantly battled various cults. The members in different countries were not unified, and the Delegation's special nature meant they had never been in contact before.

The telegram mentioned that the Purity Sect would soon send him some items and asked him to be on the lookout.

He guessed these would likely be beneficial for cultivation.

After Commander Xie saw him finish reading, he checked his watch. "Director Chen, please stay. We have a Delegation meeting shortly."

He handed him another file. "It's about these matters."

While Chen Chuan was reading, Commander Xie made a phone call. Soon, Deputy Leaders Lu Guangde and He Yishan, as well as fighters Gui Zihan, Wang Tongshan, and Bian Zhijie, arrived. This was a high-level meeting of the Second Team Delegation.

They greeted each other and took their seats.

Commander Xie asked his assistant to take notes, gave a brief opening statement, and then got to the point.

"Thanks to everyone's efforts, our Delegation's actions in the Federation have been recognized by our company and organizations. We have received many donations and technical documents. These donations will not be taken back to Da Shun but will be used to support our cooperation projects and public affairs in the Federation. The list of all participating companies, organizations, and the corresponding financial details will be sent to Da Shun for record-keeping after our mission ends.

The most valuable part is the technical documents and rare samples. Due to their extensive content, wide-ranging fields, and high sensitivity, they are not suitable for immediate return to Da Shun."

He looked at Chen Chuan, "Director Chen, you will be responsible for safely keeping these." He then said to the other members, "If any related matters arise, Delegation members must unconditionally cooperate."

He handed over a Biostorage Sheath to Chen Chuan, who stood up, nodded, and secured it.

Lu Guangde smiled, "With these items in Director Chen's hands, we can rest assured. No one can get them from Director Chen, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. There was no safer place for these items than with Chen Chuan.

He Yishan asked curiously, "Director Chen, we saw you defeat Crossal. In your report, it seems you encountered a similar figure. Given your strength, why did they still send someone like that? Isn't that unwise?"

"Oh, just a professional question. If it's inconvenient, Director Chen, you don't have to answer."

"There's no harm in explaining."

Chen Chuan didn't delve into complex issues but said, "Fighters are always confident in themselves. Before a fight, no one thinks they'll lose. Even if I defeated part of Crossal's power, it doesn't mean I can defeat all similar figures. They can't be equated."

He Yishan nodded in understanding. "I see. Thank you for the insight."

Commander Xie then said, "We have another matter. According to intelligence, we recently discovered that a faction within the Federation's executive government has increased its intelligence gathering on Kawatuya.

During the Kawatuya incident orchestrated by the New Light Sect and others, similar intelligence activities were observed. After Director Chen thwarted their main forces, their original plan was foiled, but similar activities have resurfaced.

I discussed this with Leader Jiang. It seems the Federation has not given up on targeting and attacking Kawatuya. The relevant factions are still secretly organizing and plotting. Our intelligence department is closely monitoring the situation."

He Yishan frowned. "If the Federation gave up before, why would they continue?"

Commander Xie explained, "Given the current situation, the Federation, whether on the West Coast or the East Coast, is seeking resource concentration. Kawatuya's existence hinders their resource utilization and development in the north and ties up part of their defense. If they have the opportunity, they will definitely try again."

Lu Guangde added, "Yes, Kawatuya may be uncooperative, but it is still useful to us."

He Yishan nodded. Without Kawatuya, the Federation or at least the West Coast would likely focus more attention on Da Shun.

This was a harsh reality. Supporting Kawatuya was to ensure it diverted the Federation's strategic focus, creating more constraints in resource integration and defense arrangements.

Commander Xie looked at the four fighters, including Chen Chuan, and said, "If the intelligence is confirmed, you will need to take action. We must do our utmost to prevent this from happening."
