Chapter 771: Preserving True Form, Gathering Spiritual Essence
Chen Chuan returned to the dense forest and approached the rift that had been forced open earlier. Some of his belongings, including the Snow Queen Saber and other items, were still on the other side, waiting to be retrieved.
The world beyond the rift was filled with dangers and mysterious things. If it weren't for the glow of the relic illuminating the area, he wouldn't have felt at ease leaving his things there.
As he approached, he saw Chao Ming standing on top of his luggage. Cleverly, Chao Ming had brought out the contents of the luggage as soon as Chen Chuan left, and now, seeing his return, he raised his head and chirped.
Chen Chuan smiled and patted Chao Ming's head. Then, he picked up the Snow Queen Saber, which was right next to the luggage.
He wasn't sure if the Snow Queen Saber could withstand the kind of combat he had just experienced, so he hadn't used this weapon.
However, he noticed that Yao Zhiyi, Wan Yunshan, and Wei Guozhen all had their own personal weapons. Wan Yunshan, in particular, had tried to disarm his opponent at the first opportunity, indicating that weapons still played a role at this stage. Chen Chuan decided that he needed to find a way to enhance his weapon skills upon his return.
Hmm, thinking of this, he realized there was one important thing he hadn't done yet.
He tidied up his belongings, locked his luggage, and set out with a piece of cloth in hand. He wiped the Snow Queen Saber clean and then returned with it.
Yao Zhiyi, standing nearby, suggested, "Why don't you ride with me on my airship?"
Chen Chuan agreed and said, "Principal Yao, I came here to support my colleagues who are searching for the relic. Now that the task is complete, they are still outside, and there are many troops from the old imperial house in the vicinity. I was thinking, before we leave, could we bring them along?"
Upon hearing this, Principal Yao nodded and said, "Of course. Those who can come here to retrieve the relic must be the elite warriors of Great Shun! Do you know where they are now?"
Chen Chuan replied, "I communicated with them, and based on their last known location, I can estimate their current position. They have a portable telegraph device with them, so it shouldn't be difficult to locate them."
"Then let's go. My airship has a radio station. Let's board the airship first."
At that moment, an airship arrived above the three of them. After a while, three ropes were lowered from the airship, and the three of them grabbed the ropes and were pulled upwards, eventually landing gently on the large terrace at the front of the airship.
As soon as they boarded, a voice shouted, "Play!" from a distance. The military band, waiting on the deck, immediately started playing, filling the air with the sound of drums and horns, a rousing melody. It's like a thousand horses charging into battle, a victorious general returning from the battlefield."
Wan Yunshan's expression changed, and he was filled with excitement.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Principal Yao, this melody suits the occasion."
Principal Yao's face lit up with a proud smile.
Chen Chuan laughed and said, "Principal Yao, this tune is perfect for our journey."
Principal Yao nodded and said, "Of course! When we travel, we must have music to enhance the atmosphere!" After listening for a moment, he became serious. "Let's get to business."
Chen Chuan and Principal Yao headed to the telegraph room on the airship. Several telegraph operators were busy sending and receiving messages. Principal Yao instructed one of the operators, "Send a telegraph to the come. Tell them to proceed with the plan."
"Yes, sir!"
Another telegraph operator asked Chen Chuan for details and began sending a message. Soon, they received a response, confirming that Captain Hai and his team had joined up with Xu Chan and were currently safe, making their way back.
Chen Chuan asked the telegraph operator to inquire about their current location. After receiving the information and comparing it with the map, he found that Xu Chan and his team were only about half an hour away. After seeking Principal Yao's approval, the airship immediately changed course and headed in their direction.
Principal Yao Zhiyi glanced at the telegram and, seeing that it had been sent, instructed the deputy to bring out the tea leaves he had brought with him.
The deputy couldn't help but give Chen Chuan a few more looks. He had witnessed the entire fight from above, and it was clear that Chen Chuan, a powerful fighter, had single-handedly defeated Wei Guozhen, who seemed to be of equal strength.
Yao Zhiyi was well aware of the situation. He and Wei Guozhen were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand. If Chen Chuan could defeat Wei Guozhen, then...
He lowered his gaze and respectfully poured tea for the others.
At that moment, Yao Zhiyi spoke, "Now, in Jinbei Dao, the Old Imperial House's army is left with only Gai Shuhe. Let's go and finish him off, and the matter will be settled."
Wan Yunshan's eyes lit up at the prospect, "Are we going now? Yes, yes, yes..."
With their combined strength, dealing with Gai Shuhe would be a breeze. The news of Wei Guozhen's defeat had not yet spread, and they could catch Gai Shuhe off guard. If they could also eliminate Gai Shuhe, the Old Imperial House's rule in the Jinbei Dao Convergence Zone would crumble.
The Central City of Jinbei Dao could directly annex this territory, and Datong had a habit of constructing an astonishing number of sturdy military fortresses in every area they occupied. The Old Imperial House was weak in siege warfare, and there had been no recorded instances of Datong losing ground after capturing a position. Therefore, if they succeeded, this territory could essentially become a permanent part of Datong's domain.
Excited, Wan Yunshan exclaimed, "Principal, let's..."
Before he could finish, Yao Zhiyi handed him a teacup from the desk and instructed, "Drink tea."
"Oh, oh..." Wan Yunshan couldn't refuse the tea offered by the principal. He quickly stood up, took the cup, and sipped a few gulps.
Chen Chuan's eyes flickered as he realized that Gai Shuhe was probably Chen Bitong's old rival. Chen Bitong had disappeared after facing this opponent, and the outcome was unknown. If they encountered this person now, they would have to find a way to uncover the truth.
Principal Yao spoke, "The successful capture of Wei Guozhen is mainly thanks to your efforts, Director Chen."
Chen Chuan replied, "I just took advantage of an oversight. If it weren't for Zhao Zhenye's interference, the principal and the senior wouldn't have had any trouble capturing him. And if it weren't for the principal and the senior holding off Zhao Zhenye, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this either."
Wan Yunshan took a sip of tea and, hearing their conversation, quickly put down the teacup. "Junior, you've shown such prowess upon entering the fourth limit. I've never seen anyone like you before. Truly remarkable! I had originally planned to handle this with Principal Yao, but I never expected you to capture him in the end."
"Junior, you don't need to worry. What's yours is yours. We won't take credit for your achievements. You see, I..."
"Drink tea!"
Yao Zhiyi, expressionless, handed the tea prepared by the deputy to Wan Yunshan, who quickly moved aside and took the cup.
Yao Zhiyi turned to Chen Chuan and said, "Wei Guozhen's style is that of the 'Guardian Divine General', and those six arms are not just for show. Each arm can exhibit different levels of strength, and it's surprising that he still lost to you. From what I observed, the force you used earlier seemed to be a combination of hardness and cross-training. This pure and specialized style is indeed very effective against Wei Guozhen at this stage."
Wan Yunshan nodded repeatedly as he sipped his tea.
Chen Chuan's fight with Wei Guozhen was a direct clash of strength. Those who typically favor brute force have an extremely pure will, and the power of their spiritual fire is also immense. This was evident from the impact of the spiritual fire earlier.
In truth, Chen Chuan had only used the most basic force, but the issue was that he had combined it with the strength of his second self to achieve a breakthrough. This even surpassed the theoretical limits of a perfect human body.
Such a foundation could be considered unprecedented, and it granted him incredible strength and speed the moment he entered this state. Even his most basic moves would have an extraordinary external effect.
As for the specific transformation of force, he would need to review it later. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Principal Yao, did you say Wei Guozhen's style is that of the 'Guardian Divine General'?"
Yao Zhiyi replied, "That's an old saying from the Old Imperial House. Their description is quite accurate, so I used it as well." As he finished speaking, he placed the empty cup down and said, "Xiao Wan, pour the tea."
"Yes, sir."
Wan Yunshan immediately went to pour tea from the teapot.
Yao Zhiyi explained, "In our realm, we call it 'Bearing Mystic Secrets'. The secrets within the mysteries, the profound mysteries, are all encapsulated in six words: 'Preserve True Form, Gather Spiritual Form'!"
