Chapter 563 -391: Above the Sea of Blood
After completing the task, Chen Lun and five other Governing Officers did not linger for long. They tidied up the battlefield briefly before returning to the headquarters of the Generous Council to debrief.
However, the Speaker was not there, not even his incarnation had stayed behind.
From the few Golden Cup council members on duty, they learned that the Speaker had left the headquarters due to an emergency, apparently having gone personally to the war zone near the Royal City…
“The Red Apple Church has entered its final stage of desperate resistance.”
From the simple information, Kingsberg discerned the underlying reality.
The group sat down at the marble round table in the secret meeting hall on the second floor and chatted casually.
“With the Speaker personally intervening, it’s very likely that the current Pope, Louisa, has made an appearance…”
Mulenga took out a bottle of extremely precious mythical wine, poured a glass for everyone present, tasted a sip himself, and spoke slowly.
“Louisa…”
Bindu picked up his glass and chuckled lightly.
“Her ambition surpasses even that of her elder brother, Doromy Purness. The Red Apple Church’s current predicament is largely due to this woman’s responsibility.”
“It’s said that the two siblings carry the blood of the Field Rose Royal Family… leading the Red Apple Church to this step is somewhat understandable.”
Yasmin’s drinking posture was very elegant, also showing Chen Lun a charming side of this Saint, as she lazily leaned back in a high-backed chair, sipping from the glass and licking her lips, she shook her head and said.
Chen Lun listened to the exchange among the Governing Officers silently.
He took a sip from his glass and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
[You have consumed the mythical wine “Grace’s Smile,” permanently increasing your Life Points limit by 200, Physical Strength limit by 100, Charm permanently +2, and slightly enhancing your Mysterious Resistance!]
‘So this is the circle of Governing Officers, casually drinking mythical wine…’
Chen Lun felt some emotion.
He raised his glass to Mulenga, who also lifted his glass in response.
“By the way, Jack, how is your accumulation of mystical knowledge going?”
Mulenga started the conversation.
“We are looking forward to your ascension to a higher position, which will be an occasion worth celebrating for both the Generous Council and ourselves.”
“I only just advanced to Sequence Five recently, so accumulating further mystical knowledge is bound to take some time, and as for the supernatural knowledge and rituals needed for saint ascension, I have even less of a clue.”
Chen Lun put down his glass, shaking his head as he spoke.
“Mulenga, I think you’ve taken certain things for granted… In fact, it’s only been two years since Jack stepped into the mystical realm, and to have come this far already is extraordinary. As for saint ascension, not to speak of the vast majority of transcendent beings who are stuck at this point, even we took at least a dozen to twenty years at the time.”
Bindu spoke up.
The remaining few Governing Officers seemed to remember the facts, their expressions somewhat complex.
Chen Lun’s various astounding performances had subconsciously made them overlook this point.
“Within the knowledge database of the Generous Council, we have no knowledge of the Path of Destiny above Sequence Six; we can’t help you with that, Jack…”
Kingsberg spoke with a slight apology, then made a suggestion:
“We’ve already heard from the Speaker that for the first time, the Imperial Judgement Group has included you, an ‘unorthodox’ individual, in their shortlist, and since the Speaker has personally recommended you, this matter will most likely go through without a hitch… You might try to get the subsequent knowledge and rituals for your saint ascension from the Shelter.”
“That’s right, if there is any place in the Empire that still has knowledge of the Path of Destiny today… the only one I can think of would be the official Shelter.”
Bindu added with a smile.
“When the ‘Dawn Tea Club’ was removed from their position within the Righteous God Church and faced a purge like the current Red Apple Church, their accumulations were almost certainly taken over by the Sun Royal Family.”
“Thank you for your suggestions, Kingsberg, and also Bindu.”
Chen Lun smiled and raised his glass to show his thanks.
In his heart, he wasn’t sure if he could find the [Destiny Faction Sequence Four] mythological knowledge in the Immortal Realm… Of course, approaching Philip directly was also an option, though he didn’t hold out much hope.
After all, Chen Lun knew all too well about that guy’s character…
Furthermore, ever since usurping the position of Righteous God from the Murder Club, Philip had suddenly disappeared without a trace, no longer responding to prayers, and was very likely trapped once again in the chains of the Dream Realm, struggling to break free.
The suggestion Kingsberg and the others made was also a good plan and option.
The group continued to sit in the council chamber for a while before disbanding and deciding to meet again once the Speaker returned.
Chen Lun went back directly to his vineyard in Peacock City.
Floey and the others were still campaigning outside and had not returned; only Connie and Alec were left in the vineyard.
Connie was busy in the warehouse area manufacturing firearms and ammunition, commanding thirty-two Black Crystal craftsman dolls to work at full capacity, not even noticing Chen Lun’s arrival.
Without disturbing her, Chen Lun left behind a glass of the supernatural wine he had concocted himself and a note, then turned to leave.
This wine had the effect of eliminating fatigue and nourishing the skin.
He came quietly and left silently.
As for Alec, he lay bored on the lawn in the back garden, playing the harmonica. Next to him were scattered papers filled with special symbols and sentences, seemingly in the process of creating poetry.
From the corridor window of the main building, Chen Lun watched him silently for a while, then shook his head and went up to the third floor to enter the study.
The first thing he did upon settling on the sofa was to spend all the accumulated experience points and deductions on the panel.
‘Subsequent knowledge is still a long way off, and there’s still a long way to go to reach max level 50 for the [Juggler]. I won’t save the points, just use them now.’
Chen Lun’s four basic attributes had already reached the 150-point threshold for a Sequence Five transcendent being, and continuing to allocate points would result in diminishing returns. Although spending the points in this manner was somewhat painful and reluctant, Chen Lun still bit the bullet and converted them into combat power.
He went up 4 levels after using all of his 900,000 experience points.
[You feel your body has been enhanced! Life Points increased by 400, Physical Strength by 150, Sanity Value by 2, Strength by 2, Endurance by 2, Agility by 4, Intelligence by 4, Insight by 1, Willpower by 1!]
[You have gained 4 Skill Points and 4 Attribute Points!]
[Juggler LV19]
[Total Level LV139]
Immediately after, Chen Lun allocated the 44 Attribute Points he had on hand evenly across the four main Attributes and distributed the 13 Special Attribute Points among Charm, Willpower, and Insight.
As a result, his four main Attributes became: Strength 159, Agility 159, Endurance 159, Intelligence 159!
As for that Faith he never paid attention to, it was still 10…
Special Attributes were: Charm 50, Willpower 75, Insight 65, Luck 10!
Finally.
Chen Lun looked at the panel and saw the 1 Blessing Point he had received as a kill reward from Lafa, which he did not hesitate to add to the Blessing granted by the King of Slaughter, [Bloodthirsty by Nature LV2].
[Bloodthirsty by Nature LV3 (Blessing)]
Blessing effect: Significantly enhances control over one’s own murderous intent, increasing Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Willpower by +6! (The effect is influenced by the desire to kill; the stronger the murderous intent, the stronger the effect, but it does not exceed a double increase.)
“Phew…”
Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his condition was excellent.
He sat on the couch and moved his fingers slightly.
‘Now, with just the initial physical stats, I have already surpassed the limit of Sequence Five… With such a foundation, if I enter the Pale Knight form, or even the strongest Azure Serpent form, should I be able to last even longer if I face a battle like the one with Lafa last time?’

Chen Lun thought to himself.
Floey and the others were still advancing in the battle zone, with the incarnation of Deception coordinating the overall situation. For now, nothing unusual had been reported. He planned to take advantage of this time to go take a look in the Immortal Realm.
‘Last time I searched the River of Blood area for the source of Flesh contamination to no avail, this time I might as well search again… and delve into the Crystal Mountain Range while I’m at it.’
Chen Lun summoned the book “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure” with a wave of his hand and opened it.
Boom!
A flash of white light, Chen Lun’s view changed, and his surroundings transformed into the interior of a wooden cabin.
He immediately closed his eyes and communicated with the other wooden cabins in his mind, teleporting on the spot.
The next second, Chen Lun arrived at the starting point of the River of Blood area.
‘Last time I followed the river downstream to Lake of Blood, I even turned the bottom of the lake upside down… This time I’ll walk upstream.’
He pushed open the door of the cabin and, after scanning the surroundings, went in the opposite direction of his previous path.
On the way, Chen Lun encountered several attacks from Flesh plants called “Corpse Blankets,” but with his current strength, he could kill them with just a few Magic Flying Cards, so he didn’t pay much attention to them.
However, the kill rewards were so low they were ridiculous, just a few hundred Experience Points.
It reduced Chen Lun’s desire to act to the lowest.
Afterward, he simply used Aerial Walk and flew directly over the contaminating plants that suddenly sprouted from underneath the banks made of fingernails and teeth, swiftly moving forward.
Moments later.
Chen Lun realized he had flown out of the bottom of the canyon; he had left the gloomy plains and the Crystal Mountain Range, which were like two “continents”, behind him.
What entered his line of sight was a boundless sea of blood!
Sickeningly, the endless sea surface shimmered with a red, piercing glow, and the nauseating sea wind, filled with extreme richness of blood, hit him in the face.
Chen Lun immediately used [Five Senses Perception] to shut off his sense of smell, which made things a bit better.
‘So the River of Blood’s source is a sea of blood! The Immortal Realm… The Dream Realm’s bizarreness always exceeds my expectations.’
He muttered to himself.
Subsequently, Chen Lun spent half an hour flying back and forth along the coast, searching methodically for the source of contamination, but found nothing.
This place was piled with countless fingernails and teeth, frightful and chilling, yet there was no trace of the contamination source.
He hovered in mid-air, looking once again toward the end of the sea of blood.
Suddenly, he noticed something he had missed before…
The sky was devoid of sun, moon, and stars, yet the horizon of the blood sea was glowing.
‘Where could the light be coming from?’
Chen Lun’s gaze sharpened.
‘Let’s go check it out!’
With a push of his foot, he shot across the blood sea like an arrow shot from a bow, heading towards the end.
This time, Chen Lun flew over the sea for more than two hours.
Not until his Spiritual Intuition suddenly warned him did he know he was on the right track.
Ahead, a gigantic figure stood silently above the sea of blood; no, it should be said that only the upper half of the body was above the sea level, with the lower half submerged.
Even the part that was exposed reached the clouds, and the face was obscured by layers of abstract clouds. Chen Lun could only see the figure’s torso and arms.
“So this is the source of the Flesh Pathway’s contamination…”
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes, and amidst the stinging pain, tears couldn’t help but fall.
