Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System
Chapter 492 - 412: Celestial Patrol Envoy Su Youlin
Damn!
Randomly copy the abilities of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity?!
Who is this Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity?
Unsurprisingly, this guy is the only existence above the Divinity Transformation Stage in the entire Cultivation Realm. Even if a bit leaked from between his fingers, it would be enough for Su Yuan to push all the way to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
If I can copy the opponent’s core abilities, with the help of the entire Blue Star Federation, I might be able to compete with them head-to-head!
System Bro, I admit I spoke a bit loudly earlier! Please don’t take it to heart!
Su Yuan sincerely realized how much of a supermodel the System Bro truly is.
As for this guy always having bugs and diverting the mission timeline to a hundred thousand years ago, such small matters can be completely ignored.
After all, the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity has lived far more than a hundred thousand years. Even if there are issues with the timeline, he is an unavoidable target.
The mission assigned for this person basically won’t have bugs.
And after the excitement, Su Yuan also understood that the task of "catching the mole," which sounds like a skit name, is the most challenging task he’s ever undertaken.
If the mole only exists among the Divinity Transformation Cultivators, then the process of identifying three moles would involve facing three life-and-death crises!
Not every mole is like the dried corpse we encountered before, unaware of being a mole until death.
More commonly, the moles have successfully replaced the original identities and were secretly activated by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity.
Once I show any slip, I will face a thunderous strike.
Even if I have Divinity Transformation Great Powers on my side, it doesn’t guarantee a safe retreat.
This is truly a deadly task!
But... who made him master the Primordial Dao, and he’s the only one who can master it?
Not for anything else, just for the safety of those around him like Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Taibai Yuxi, he must accept this task.
Moreover, for the same task, he can earn double the salary.
After rapidly pondering a variety of thoughts in his mind, Su Yuan silently closed the system panel and looked at Wu Luo True Monarch, who was waiting for his response.
He thought for a moment and proposed a request:
"If I encounter trouble and one of the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs happens to be nearby, may I request their help?"
The old lady smiled and nodded:
"Of course."
Su Yuan nodded:
"Then I will accept this task."
The old lady didn’t say much, just gently patted Su Yuan on the head.
But Su Yuan understood in his heart that investigating the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs was only an appetizer for this task.
Among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs of the Federation, having even one mole would be remarkable, considering how long it’s been since they achieved Divinity Transformation.
In the eyes of the many eras-old Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, the time from the birth of the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs to now might just be a blink of an eye.
Perhaps from the Spiritual Energy Revival until now, the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity has been napping, and may not have had the chance to plant moles among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs.
To find the three moles, we must rely on the Thirty-Six Human Race Divinity Transformations of the previous era.
When facing the Thirty-Six Divinity Transformations, there might not be Federation Divinity Transformation Cultivators by my side.
For example, when ascending to the Immortal Realm to meet the members of the Holy Law Governance Council.
In summary, I can only go one step at a time.
"By my calculations, Taibai Phecda should arrive in the Cold Plum World in less than half a month. He has brought the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and Dragon King Secret Realm, which can effectively assist you in breaking through."
"Additionally, I will discreetly send trustworthy people to deliver Ancient Secret Realms to you, fully supporting your mastery of Primordial Dao."
Wu Luo True Monarch solemnly promised.
Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel delighted.
Having backing is great; upgrading doesn’t require me to find resources myself.
At this point, the main business was completely discussed.
Su Yuan, with Motis, silently left, leaving the space for Wu Luo True Monarch and her daughter, his apprentice.
After bidding farewell to Wu Luo True Monarch’s avatar, Su Yuan and his party returned to the Yaksha, ostensibly enjoying a "honeymoon" as they wandered the Sea of Law.
During this period, Su Yuan went into seclusion to refine the Primordial Essence and the essence of the Flesh and Blood Dao, rapidly pushing his Inner Core Cultivation towards the Golden Core Stage.
Ten days later.
When Su Yuan finished processing everything and returned to Dragon City County, Fan Zhiyun also sent the appointment letter, the red official uniform, and the silver official seal.
It was precisely the appointment letter of the Fifth Grade Immortal Official, the Cold Plum World Celestial Patrol Envoy, ready to assume office immediately.
Upon receiving the appointment letter, Su Yuan wasted no time and set off the same day with ’Lady Feng’ and two accompanying maidservants.
Before this, he had already written a recommendation letter to Shengyang Mansion, endorsing Ying Ding as the new County Magistrate of Dragon City County.
With the connection of Fan Zhiyun, combined with Ying Ding making rounds and settling the necessary "personnel" affairs, his position was basically secured.
Not only Ying Ding, but Qi Junxiang could also seize the opportunity to get promoted and become the County Magistrate of Dragon City County.
Due to Su Yuan’s achievements during his few months in office, when he retired and left, all the county’s residents, officials, and soldiers voluntarily went ten miles out of town to see him off, tears soaking the yellow earth.
The only ones ecstatic were the Four Great Families and the Six Great Sects.
Unfortunately, their joy did not last long.
Just one day after Su Yuan left, many unfamiliar faces appeared in the county town, handing out pamphlets to everyone.
"Excuse me, fellow countryman, have you heard of the Primordial Sect?"
...
After several transmissions and entering the Immortal Ascension Passage connected to the Cold Plum World, Su Yuan and his party were only a short distance away from their destination, the capital of Cold Plum World, Shenghan Mansion.
Inside Shenghan Mansion, next to the Guiding Platform of the Immortal Ascension Passage, were officials of all ranks.
Some were clad in red robes, others in green, standing solemnly in this land perpetually enveloped by ice and snow.
"I’ve heard that the newly arrived Celestial Patrol Envoy is from our Cold Plum World, a local?"
The leader among the officials, the only one dressed in a purple robe, looked at the green-robed official beside him.
The latter quickly responded:
"To report to the Lord of the Mansion, the new Celestial Patrol Envoy is named Su Youlin, a new star of the Demon Dao who emerged from a remote, poverty-stricken area."
"Though he is from the Cold Plum World, his hometown is far from Shenghan Mansion, only visiting us when he ascended, with no family or old friends here."
The purple-robed official sneered:
"It sounds like Su Youlin is a poor lad?"
The green-robed official lowered his head awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
The purple-robed official disregarded him, continuing:
"He topped the Immortal Official Exam, with his first appointment as the County Magistrate of Fuxian County, a seventh-grade post."
"Then, in less than half a year, he rapidly ascended to a fifth-grade post... Even the offspring of second or third-grade officials in the Central Province may not rise this quickly."
"Moreover, as far as I know, Su Youlin has demonstrated Golden Core combat power on more than one occasion."
"Whether in background or personal strength, he far surpasses the level of Holy Sons and Daughters, yet you tell me he’s a poor lad?"
"It seems your intelligence-gathering abilities truly need improvement!"
The green-robed official was drenched in cold sweat and hastily explained:
"Please discern wisely, Lord! While in the Cold Plum World, Su Youlin indeed appeared ordinary, with no special traits, yet upon reaching the Upper Realm, he inexplicably transformed into a True Dragon."
The purple-robed official, referred to as the Lord of the Mansion, sighed and said:
"In any case, Su Youlin is someone we must win over; we mustn’t neglect him."
"I hope this lad truly has influential backing and could potentially manage our Governor..."
"Otherwise, within this year, over ten million residents might be divided, either enslaved or turned into cultivation materials for the Demon Sect."
The green-robed official heard this and almost lunged forward to cover his superior’s mouth.
He hurriedly glanced at the majestic palace in the distance, covered in pristine snow, and woefully cautioned:
"Lord of the Mansion, be careful with your words!"
The purple-robed official, showing a hint of annoyance, was about to reprimand when the Guiding Platform suddenly gleamed.
Four figures descended from the sky, landing before the officials.
The Prefect of Shenghan and the officials all turned their attention to them, first seeing a young immortal official dressed in a vibrant red robe with a handsome and remarkable demeanor.
Hanging from his jade belt was a silver Official Seal and a waist tag engraved with the words ’Celestial Patrol Envoy,’ confirming his identity.
As expected, he was the newly appointed fifth-grade official, equivalent in status to the Deputy Transport Envoy of East Continent, overseeing all officials in Cold Plum World and directly reporting to the Central Hub, with a terrifying level of authority, the Celestial Patrol Envoy, Su Youlin.
Then, everyone looked towards the three people behind Su Youlin, their eyes involuntarily showing signs of admiration.
There were three young ladies, each with distinct beauty, led by a blue-haired girl elegantly dressed, presumably Lady Feng, the County Magistrate’s wife.
Of course, she should now be called the Envoy’s wife.
As for the other two girls with relatively plain attire?
They were probably dowry maids or chambermaids, aside from their looks, nothing else seemed noteworthy.
All present were seasoned officials in the bureaucratic world. Though they envied Grand Imperial Envoy Su enjoying the pleasures of companionship at such a young age, they managed to control their sentiments, promptly stepping forward to greet and pay their respects.
After the officials had paid their respects, the Prefect of Shenghan Mansion approached Su Yuan with a smile:
"Indeed, a man of eminent talent, welcome Envoy Su, in triumphantly returning to your hometown."
"I am the Prefect of Shenghan Mansion, henceforth we are colleagues."
