Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Chapter 343: Trust (Seeking Subscription) Chapter 363: Chapter 343: Trust (Seeking Subscription) Luo Wangshu stared fixedly at Lin Rui’s forehead, “Xiao Haohao, what’s with this core of origin!”

She had sensed Lin Rui’s body just a few days ago, when he did not have this thing inside him.

Lin Rui had always known this day would come, yet he still felt a tingling scalp, but what reassured him slightly was that his master still called him ‘Xiao Haohao.’

He touched his nose bridge, solemnly explaining, “It happened in the Divine Dragon Hall while I was refining the national dragon seal, when the war dragon’s spirit blood mingled with my deep abyss essence, congealing into this thing.

How exactly it happened, I’m not sure, the whole process was bizarre.”

Lin Rui was indeed clueless about the ‘core of origin’ that had formed in his body.

He still needed to further study synthetic biology to understand its underlying mechanisms.

“Divine Dragon Hall?”

Luo Wangshu furrowed her brow, recalling the ‘deep abyss essence’ she sensed within Lin Rui’s body, her eyes gradually lighting up, “So it is, I neglected this.

I didn’t expect such a situation to occur.

The essence blood of the Longevity Dragon combined with the deep abyss essence indeed has the potential to attract each other and form a deep abyss core.

Especially since this segment of essence blood was bestowed upon you by the Longevity Dragon, bearing their inconspicuous imprint, but still, that’s not right —”

Luo Wangshu looked surprised, the ‘deep abyss core’ inside Lin Rui was quite large, nearly equivalent to a second Golden Core.

Moreover, this core was entirely Lin Rui’s own, merging seamlessly with his Primordial Spirit, indistinguishable from each other.

Luo Wangshu wanted to ask Lin Rui for the ultimate truth but saw him looking back at her with an innocent and bewildered face.

Luo Wangshu instantly knew she wouldn’t get any clear answers.

She guessed this fellow didn’t understand the situation himself,

mainly because Luo Wangshu had only just begun to delve into deep abyss essence and hadn’t witnessed the most sublime views, thus she lacked a sufficient understanding of it.

Perhaps during the fusion and condensation of the deep abyss core, the soul imprint of the Longevity War Dragon had been assimilated?

Besides, there was another force encased within this ‘deep abyss core.’

“Pure Concept —”

Luo Wangshu took a sharp intake of breath, emotions tangled.

Previously, the five great abysses had swept over hundreds of millions of miles in the Eastern Sea, jointly issuing a death warrant against the contemporary ‘Bright King,’ intensifying their pursuit of the Guang Ming Holy Sect because they believed the ‘Bright King’ might grasp the abyssal concept, nearing the abyssal realm.

As a result, the person possessing the ‘Pure’ concept, whom the five great abysses greatly feared and wanted to chase down, was actually right by her side?

However, since it was the concept of purity, might it be possible that the pure flame on him had purified this ‘deep abyss core’?

Luo Wangshu had long known from Meng Weiyun that Lin Rui bore the mark of sacred thunder fire and had killed a Saint Heir of the Guang Ming Holy Sect!

Yet she never imagined that this fellow had actually obtained the method of purity from the sacred thunder fire.

Luo Wangshu glanced at Lin Rui again, her eyes flickering uncertainly before she finally sighed long, “You’re lucky you encountered me.”

Lin Rui also felt fortunate.

He had seen a mix of shock, confusion, doubt, bitterness, and wariness in Luo Wangshu’s eyes but notably not envy or murderous intent.

So this is the advantage of having the right superior; with another master, who knows what might have happened?

Luo Wangshu then rose and pulled Lin Rui up, taking him with her to the outside of the small courtyard.

They stood behind a thin film formed by a layer of spacetime forces, overlooking the vast imperial palace in front of Divine Scenery Mountain.

Luo Wangshu with hands clasped behind her back said, “I’ve heard that you and Meng Weiyun have completed the trade?

Just this one transaction alone amounts to four hundred and twenty thousand taels of demonic silver?

So, what’s their response regarding those controlled substances and synthetic armament?”

Due to Meng Weiyun’s subsequent additional orders, the final total deal secured by Lin Rui with Meng Weiyun totaled four million and twenty thousand taels of demonic silver, equivalent to twenty-two billion in Federal currency.

This trade went relatively smoothly, with Gong Hengdao and Fei Yunlai responsible for escorting the goods, and the Guang Ming Starlight 9 controlling the craft, air-dropping all materials at secret coordinates designated by Meng Weiyun.

Lin Rui hesitated, “Master, the channel I contacted hasn’t given a definitive reply yet.

However, from what they’ve hinted, even if they agree to sell, there might also be certain additional conditions, such as asking the Divine Envoy to protect their trade, purchasing some goods on Tianji Star, where they say they only engage in legitimate, harmless trade.”

In fact, General Zhou Yunfei intended him to probe the third Divine Envoy’s inclinations.

“So negotiations are possible?” Luo Wangshu’s eyes gleamed differently, “What exactly do they mean by legitimate and harmless?”

“They’ve mentioned needing various mineral resources and would provide some crop seeds for us to cultivate.

After the crops mature, they would purchase them at the agreed price.

Of course, we could also opt to sell them at market price, though they have the right of first purchase.

These Heavenly Demons would pay with demonic silver or divine gold, or trade with items unavailable on Tianji Star, provided they are not on any federal control lists.”

Lin Rui’s expression grew solemn, his brow deeply furrowed, “It sounds like there’s no issue, but I feel these domain-external Heavenly Demons definitely have ulterior motives.”

Luo Wangshu couldn’t help but chuckle wryly, “That seems like the style from East Asia, interested in nothing but business.

So apart from these material trades, what else can they offer us?

They can’t possibly expect me to take risks for them for nothing, can they?”

Lin Rui coughed, “They say the East Asian Republic can’t provide the items, but perhaps the other federal member states, like the North American Federation and the Atlantic Union, might be able to get some controlled items for my master.

These states are more lenient, so perhaps I could purchase some on behalf of my master.

However, they wouldn’t tell the truth and kept saying they needed to consider it.”

“Is that so?”

A hint of disappointment appeared in Luo Wangshu’s eyes.

She knew that because the East Asian Republic had been unharmed 800 years ago, they started researching biological implantation the earliest and invested the most, hence they currently have the highest technological standards,

Luo Wangshu pondered, “Well, that’s not bad either, Little Hao Hao, continue negotiating with them, specify which crops, what kind of minerals, and how to trade safely.

I can try to protect their business as long as our safety is guaranteed.”

She saw Lin Rui’s conflicted expression and couldn’t help but slightly raise the corners of her lips, “Little Hao Hao, do you know where the founders of the Great Song, Taizu and Taizong, went?

Where is the former first Divine Envoy?”

Lin Hao’s pupils moved slightly, and he looked at Luo Wangshu with a suspicious gaze.

“The first two were buried alive in their tombs, trapped in an endless slumber, not knowing when they might awaken.

As for that first Divine Envoy, the ‘Spiritual Dragon of Clear Heavens’ that you often use belongs to him.”

Luo Wangshu’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Then do you know where the last emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is also her ninth-generation ancestor, went?”

Luo Wangshu pointed at Ji Xueying, then before Lin Rui could respond, she laughed and revealed the answer, “That last emperor, who had reached the exalted level of ten realms and had superior bloodline, was swallowed along with his dragon by our deity’s battle dragon.”

Lin Rui’s pupils dramatically constricted, his expression one of shock.

The federation’s scholars had long speculated about this and published numerous papers, but those were still unfounded conjectures.

Today, however, Lin Rui received confirmation from Luo Wangshu’s words.

Ji Xueying’s complexion changed drastically as well, as she learned for the first time that her ancestor had been ‘eaten’ by a deity.

“Entering the ten realms ‘Longevity’ is very dangerous, so much so that the existing ‘Longevity’ all choose to hide and do not dare to show themselves easily.”

Luo Wangshu’s expression turned cold, “If things proceed as usual, our Emperor could either meet the same fate as the last emperor of Great Zhou, or he could try to maintain control and pass the imperial lineage of Great Song to the next emperor.

Perhaps that would enable him to avoid being swallowed and follow his ancestors Taizu and Taizong into a slumber in their tombs, waiting for a possible awakening in the future, since ‘Longevity’ is everlasting.

As for our first Divine Envoy, either he replaces the Great Song imperial lineage, becoming the new dynasty’s master and roaming freely for another four hundred years, or else he ends up like his predecessors.

However, now that the Heavenly Demons have arrived, the situation has changed, offering them opportunities.”

Lin Rui was immensely shaken, and he asked in confusion, “Master, isn’t the arrival of the Heavenly Demons making the situation even more perilous?”

“Indeed, it is a disaster for the common people of Great Song.

To defend against the Heavenly Demons, the taxes we’ve levied have increased by at least ten percent compared to 800 years ago.

However, for people like us, it might not necessarily be the case.”

Luo Wangshui shook her head, “The various drugs developed by the Heavenly Demons from beyond our realm can enhance the physical qualities of a Martial Cultivator to the utmost limit; they have also invented implant gears that, if one’s spirit can bear it, can elevate one’s bloodline talents to a higher level, giving many who stand at the threshold of ‘Longevity’ a glimpse of hope.”

She pointed at her forehead, “Take me, for example.

My strength was nearly at its limit, and at most, in ten years, I could have elevated my bloodline to surpass the level of emperors.

After that, I would not have been able to advance further; but now, I see hope for further enhancing my strength.

With the aid of the Heavenly Demons’ potion, my physical body could be further strengthened.

I could also implant powerful gears I desire, taking my bloodline talents even further, beyond the level of emperors and even allowing me to encounter the Abyss at the ninth realm!”

As far as I know, those Heavenly Demons have been researching these technologies, and the Emperor and the First Divine Envoy had realized this perhaps centuries ago and may have already started making arrangements.

The true strength of these two has already surpassed their existing realms.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui’s face turned slightly pale, and he found himself at a loss for words.

Luo Wangshui was pleased with his expression and smiled slightly, “Little Hao, your Blood Blade Ji must have been implanted with several powerful bloodline gears by those under King Han, right?”

Lin Rui came to his senses and promptly bowed as he answered, “It was the work of the Heavenly Demons.”

He himself was a Heavenly Demon.

“I’m actually a bit envious of her.

Bloodline talents become harder to awaken the further one progresses.

Awakening a talent that suits oneself becomes even more difficult, but with the help of implant gears, it becomes much easier.”

Luo Wangshui gave a bitter smile, “I might be able to get some powerful implant gears and injections, but I cannot be sure that these items are without problems, nor can I find a reliable implant doctor to perform the procedure on me.”

Lin Rui frowned, his words laced with doubt, “So does that mean Master is looking for a reliable source?

But that shouldn’t be difficult for Master, should it?”

“The reason I was favored by the divine entities and stood out among the twelve candidates to become the Third Divine Envoy was because I had the least contact with the Heavenly Demons and harbored deep enmity towards them.”

Luo Wangshui looked up at the sky, her voice serene, “But having reached this stage, there are some things I cannot help planning for in advance.

You see, the position of a Divine Envoy, much like that of an emperor, has a limited term — only six hundred years.

I’m already too far behind those three, and I must catch up on what I owe.

The problem now is not only are the divine entities watching me, but many are also waiting for me to show a flaw.

From the moment I became a Divine Envoy, I dared not trust anyone because I knew there must be a spy of the divine entities among those around me.

That’s why I could not even fully trust Meng Weiyun, but now, I finally have someone I can truly trust.”

Among those under her command, everyone could possibly be the eyes and ears of the divine entities, except for Lin Rui.

Lin Rui couldn’t help but look perplexed, “Is it because of the disciple’s Abyssal Core?”

“And the Cleansing Method!

You, my child, are greatly blessed.

Merely at the fifth realm, you’ve already pried open half the door to the Abyss and seen the light within.

If the divine entities knew, your death would be certain.”

Luo Wangshui burst into laughter, her smile bright and radiant, “Yet the path of the Abyss is also my desire!

So Little Hao, you must help me, help me walk this path.”

As she spoke, her voice paused, and a strong obsession flashed in her eyes as she looked toward the sky, “As master and disciple, we are one.

It’s not impossible for us to dye this sky above with colors that belong to us both.”
