Chapter 272: Secret Scriptures from the Federation (II)

"To be honest, the reward for this mission is only one secret scripture. The other one is subsidized with my merit points. I have known Xuanwu for many years, and I watched Little Yi grow up into adulthood. I hope she can peacefully sleep during her final journey."

At this point, Ling Yi paused. "...So, even if the mission fails, we cannot let her die at the hands of the Demon Cult. Otherwise, no one will have the face to see Xuanwu when he returns. This requirement is not just mine; it is also the Federation\'s stance."

Luring out the two king soul avatars was important, but Yan Ruoyi\'s life was equally so. While she seemed to feel that her remaining life was worth trading for two king soul avatars, Ling Yi and the Federation\'s higher-ups didn’t see it that way.

Some things couldn’t be measured solely by value. If such was the case, then one person could be sacrificed today, and then another tomorrow, and yet another the day after, eventually causing morale to collapse.

After all, there was always someone with higher value.

Chen Chu nodded slowly. "...I understand."

The reason he had been chosen for this mission wasn’t based only on his Insightful Eye Realm, but also his unbelievable speed, which far exceeded his current realm. Ling Yi knew that if Chen Chu wanted to leave, even a late stage Seventh Heavenly Realm expert wouldn\'t be able to stop him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ling Yi said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The office door opened, and a military officer walked in, carrying a black and gold sealed briefcase. He respectfully said, "General, this is a secured black box from headquarters."

"Alright, place it on the table."

"Yes, sir."

After the officer left, Ling Yi said, "Inside this box is the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture you applied for."

As he spoke, Ling Yi placed his hand on the black box, channeling true power into it to remove the seal. There was a clicking sound as the box slowly opened, revealing the scripture in the form of a book.

"The true martial art secret scriptures were created by top-level experts, especially those who have broken through to the king level. It is not only precious, but also cannot be casually shared with others. If the secret scripture leaks, alien races of the same level could exploit it to find weaknesses and conduct targeted attacks.

"However, they also serve as guiding beacons for the successors of the human race, so if everyone hoarded them, humanity\'s strength wouldn\'t be able to grow quickly.

"This is why the Federation established a core secret library to preserve secret scriptures containing the creators\' will and soul power. Whenever someone meets the criteria and applies for a secret scripture, a copy is made for them.

"This secret scripture, refined from Divine Cloud Stone, is wordless and imageless, but can completely replicate the secret scripture\'s content for three months, which is enough time for someone to comprehend and learn it.

"Additionally, this replicated version is very fragile and contains a unique passcode, which is the identity key I initially sent you. If the passcode is incorrect, it will automatically disintegrate. Therefore, even if someone else takes it, they can\'t decipher it. Not even a king level expert can crack it, because the passcode restriction was set by a king level expert.

"Moreover, the secret scripture contains an internal chip that is connected to the Celestial Think Tank network, providing double protection. Apart from the applicant, no one can view it.

Under the watchful eye of Ling Yi, Chen Chu picked up the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture. Following the instructions, he first infused it with true power and will. Immediately, the edges of the scripture shimmered with light, accompanied by electronic mechanical sounds.

"Late stage Fifth Heavenly Realm, true power intensity verified. Spiritual fluctuations verified. Key authentication confirmed..."

After the three verifications, spiritual force surged into Chen Chu\'s consciousness from the celestial book. He instantly found himself in a blank space where a virtual figure sat quietly in the distance. It radiated a majestic and imposing authority, comprised of a collection of runes that simulated the mythical dragon elephant and represented an extreme form of power.

Even as a projection assumed to be in the Ninth Heavenly Realm, this virtual figure\'s imposing presence shook Chen Chu to his core. It appeared that, once successfully cultivated, this power would be capable of toppling mountains, shattering the earth, and asserting unrivaled dominance.

Armed with the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture and the Elixir of Divine Essence, Chen Chu boarded a fighter jet back to the Nantian base.

His next step was to break through to the Sixth Realm, maximize the Eight Desolations Purgatory Halberd art, and enhance his armor and halberd to prepare for the next battle.

Huff! Huff!

At noon, amid the vigilant gazes of many, a Bluebird fighter jet descended slowly onto the square, creating fierce winds and turbulent air.

The jet hatch opened, and Chen Chu stepped down with large strides. As soon as he disembarked, powerful gusts of air burst out from under the fighter jet, propelling it back into the sky.

Not far away, in the mission hall, Xia Youhui and a few curious others emerged. Xia Youhui asked, "Ah Chu, we heard you went to the military base. What happened over there?"

Chen Chu nodded. "I\'ll explain later. Old Xia, Liu Feng, everyone\'s here. Let\'s go, I\'ll treat you all to lunch today."

"What? Chen Chu, are you leaving?" They exclaimed in surprise as they followed after him.

In the cafeteria, they sat at a table covered with food and looked at Chen Chu with astonishment as he nodded. "I\'ve taken on a military mission this time. It\'s expected to take one or two months. By the time it\'s done, this semester will be almost over."

Li Meng was immediately curious. "What kind of mission?"

Chen Chu smiled. "Classified. Can\'t say."

Yuan Chenghuang pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Chu, your current strength already puts you at the top of the southern battlefield, so staying here isn\'t really useful anymore. It\'s not really helping with your advancement. Maybe that\'s why the military approached you."

Bai Mu was flabbergasted. "Speaking of which, I have something to say that I don\'t even know how to put delicately. Are you some kind of monster? You\'ve only been here for a little over a month and already dominated the entire southern battlefield, including all those second- and third-year geniuses. You didn\'t leave anyone time to react at all."

Liu Feng nodded in agreement. "True. If we didn\'t know you were a freak all along, we would have thought you were a different person. I just wonder, when we meet next time, will you have already broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm?"

Chen Chu shook his head. "Not that quickly. I\'m working on creating a top-level secret scripture. In this situation, at the fastest, it would still take a few months. If it goes a bit slower, then it would take maybe half a year before I can break through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm."

"Damn! Half a year is considered slow?"

"And you\'re creating a top-level secret scripture!"

"Alright, alright, let\'s not talk about this topic anymore. Let\'s eat, let\'s eat, or Ah Chu will start showing off again."

"Damn it, he\'s already showed off with everything he just said."

"Let\'s eat! Eat to your heart\'s content. We should eat more than usual today, we won’t have the chance once this guy leaves in a couple of days."

As they ate, Chen Chu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, have you seen Li Hao recently?"

"No, but according to Hong Tianyi, that guy’s been battling day and night in the Yunwu Mountains, and it\'s said he’s already broken through to the middle stage of the Fourth Heavenly Realm."

"Li Hao is quite something too."
