Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 693: Forging Ahead for You

Chapter 693 -693: Forging Ahead for You

In the dim cavern, the burning flame gradually extinguished.

Looking at the gradually ashing corpse lying on the ground, Wang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

He felt a bit suffocated.

The creature he had just slain was a demon spirit that had lurked deep within the mines.

This demon spirit had devoured dozens of miners, not only bloodthirsty and brutal, but also extremely cunning. Previously, a constable from the Evil-Suppressing Department had been wounded by its claws and fangs.

Then Wang Chen was dispatched to hunt this creature down.

...

And this was the seventeenth task he had received since his transfer to the Patrol and Arrest Bureau!

At the beginning of his tenure, he had lived quite leisurely for a while, but after completing his first task and having a talk with Guan Shengping, who was the Director of the Evil-Suppressing Department, his workload suddenly increased.

Task after task was assigned to Wang Chen, whether it be a village haunted by an Evil Wraith, or a mine where a demon spirit appeared, in short, for the past month he had been on the run everywhere, busier than a firefighter.

Wang Chen even suspected that within the sprawling Evil-Suppressing Department of the Patrol and Arrest Bureau, he was the only constable working!

What was most thought-provoking was that he had been acting alone from beginning to end.

No team had been assigned to join him!

This was clearly abnormal.

Wang Chen had already realized that he was being targeted again!

Previously it was True Person Ye, and now Director Guan. Clearly, there were many intelligent and scheming people in this world; although Wang Chen deliberately kept a low profile, he still revealed some of his secrets.

This was also something that couldn’t be helped.

At the end of the day, it was because he lacked any background or origins, like a rootless duckweed, obviously an easy target.

If Wang Chen always remained at the bottom, trembling and indistinguishable from the masses, then nobody would take a second look at him.

But as soon as he showed the slightest hint of his edge, the result was very different!

At this moment, Wang Chen realized that he had to find a way to get out of the sight of Director Guan or anyone else.

Otherwise, those occupying high positions had plenty of ways to manipulate him!

As for what Guan Shengping said, “Neither I nor anyone from the Evil-Suppressing Department will covet or plot against you,” if Wang Chen took it as truth, then his head must have been kicked by a donkey!

What should he do?

Back in his home at Yongle Immortal City, Wang Chen fell into deep thought.

His biggest problem at the moment was the three-year Taoist Contract he had signed earlier with the Prison Department.

Unless Wang Chen was willing to abandon the hard-won Immortal Register and roam about as a Loose Cultivator, he had to fulfil this contract.

The key issue was that Wang Chen was currently working hard to break through to the ninth layer of his Purple Mansion, preparing for the Solidifying Pill phase.

Leaving Yongle Immortal City would be a big problem!

You have to know that Yongle Immortal City is a member of the Nine States Immortal Alliance. If he were to be blacklisted, it’s not as if he couldn’t move an inch within the Immortal Alliance’s sphere of influence, but gathering the resources for the Solidifying Pill phase would definitely become much more difficult.

Therefore, unless he faced a life-threatening danger, defecting from Yongle Immortal City was not within Wang Chen’s consideration.

Since he couldn’t solve the problem, could he eliminate the person causing the problem…

Wang Chen was somewhat tempted.

But he quickly suppressed that dangerous thought.

Previously, Wang Chen was able to take down True Person Ye due to a multitude of factors.

Not only was Guan Shengping a Golden Core True Person, but he also resided in the Immortal City, overseeing the department. With what could Wang Chen possibly fight him to the death?

After much consideration, Wang Chen gradually came up with a new idea.

Just at that moment, someone knocked on the gate of his courtyard.

When Wang Chen opened the gate, he saw the very monster girl he was most familiar with.

He said in a bad mood, “Taoist Friend Yu, I beg you, please leave me alone. I merely have this one pathetic life and really can’t handle your favoring attention!”

Yu Fei widened her charming eyes and then burst into laughter, “Big Brother Wang, who has wronged you? Tell me, and I will seek justice for you!”

She actually hit the nail on the head!

Wang Chen shook his head and let the monster girl in.

He closed the door, activated the array to isolate the inside from the outside, and then sat down to boil water and brew tea.

Wang Chen decided to have a serious talk with the other party.

His troubles were already plentiful.

“Speak, what exactly do you intend to do?”

Wang Chen personally poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Yu Fei and said in a deep voice, “Tell me the truth, and I can swear a Taoist oath not to reveal even a word to anyone!”

Yu Fei picked up the teacup, her eyes flickering as if in thought.

After a moment, she said with a slight smile, “Taoist Friend, you speak too gravely.”

She paused then asked seriously, “Taoist Friend Wang, do you believe in fate?”

“Fate?”

Wang Chen was taken aback: “The fate of Haotian?”

“No!”

Yu Fei said, “It is the fate of the heavens beyond heaven!”

Heavens beyond heaven!

Wang Chen fell silent.

Having been in the Haotian Realm for some time, he certainly knew what ‘heavens beyond heaven’ meant.

It was said that after cultivating to the utmost pinnacle, an Integration True Venerable had to go to the heavens beyond heaven to advance to Mahayana Saint and ultimately become a Tribulation-Transcending Tao Ancestor, breaking through the void and merging with the universe.

The Haotian Realm was already truly an Immortal Realm, places like the heavens beyond heaven were unthinkable even for minor cultivators like Wang Chen!

He said, “I would like to hear more.”

“An ancient prophecy.”

Yu Fei took a sip of Spiritual Tea and said, “Every thousand years a Saint must emerge, fated to be a Star Lord’s descent, accomplishing an unparalleled grand feat!”

“The structure of the Haotian Realm hasn’t changed for a thousand years, the time has come for the Star Lord’s descent.”

Wang Chen, puzzled, said, “What does this have to do with me?”

He wouldn’t delude himself into thinking he was a reincarnation of a Star Lord.

Yu Fei gave Wang Chen a look and gently began, “Our Hehuan Sect wishes to serve the Star Lord in advance and is recruiting talented individuals from the Nine States. Taoist Friend Wang, you possess the Dragon and Serpent Qi, you are precisely the talent that the Star Lord needs!”

Damn it!

Wang Chen finally understood. It turned out Hehuan Sect believed in the so-called prophecy, preparing for the descent of the Star Lord, and then they took interest in him, which had led to the incessant troubles with the Rain Monster Girl!

Could it be that he was fated to be cannon fodder?

Dragon and Serpent Qi, truly laughable!

Was it because he had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method and the Mystical Mirage Dragon Jue that the people of Hehuan Sect believed him to be the talent meant to serve the Star Lord?

“I’m just a small fry.”

Wang Chen shook his head and said, “I just want to live my life in peace. Your ambitions are too grand; I can’t and don’t want to get involved.”

“Please understand!”

Yu Fei’s beautiful eyes brimmed with earnestness: “Taoist Friend Wang, have your recent days been peaceful?”

After this soul-searching question, she smiled and said, “Actually, we can help resolve your troubles, a mere Golden Core Director is nothing to us.”

Wang Chen’s heart turned cold: “Thank you, but no need!”

The final three words he uttered with firm resolve!

Perhaps because of Wang Chen’s absolutely unyielding stance, Yu Fei’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment for the first time.

She finished the tea in her cup in one gulp and sighed, “Taoist Friend Wang, you misunderstand us too deeply. Well, I cannot force all matters; we will meet again in the future.”

This female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect actually got up and left, straightforward and decisive, without any hesitation or delay.
