Chapter 340: Chapter 322: Serenity (Request for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 340: Chapter 322: Serenity (Request for Monthly Tickets) Lin Rui looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression, “Constellations?
I feel like the sky hasn’t changed at all.”
The stars are still the same stars, the moon is still that same moon, and the sun is also that same sun.
Meng Weiyun couldn’t help but chuckle, “After the seventh realm, Martial Cultivators see a different sky, which is why all the star-watchers in the world are beings above the seventh realm.”
She then pointed to the beside Dragon Guard Capital, “You can still choose a Dragon Guard, why not go have a look?”
However, Lin Rui slightly shook his head, uninterested, “No need, I know that the Dragon Guards left over by the Emperor and Divine Envoys are mostly below the imperial rank.
The few good ones left have all been picked by those prince Commandery Princes.”
Turning a ‘candidate Dragon Guard’ into a dragon costs a lot of money, and maintaining a war dragon is equally expensive.
With that money, he would rather recruit one or two experts from the martial world, or spend it on Ji Xueying and Wang Sen and their group to hasten their dragon transformation.
An imperial rank Sixth Realm Martial Cultivator is worth two or three super imperial ranks; an Emperor Realm could even fight across ranks.
Wang Sen will definitely have a future surpassing the imperial realm; this fellow is not only a late bloomer but also increasingly shows potential, which seems bottomless even now.
...
As for Ji Xueying, there’s no need to say more.
That secret ritual in Silver Moon County where she refined thousands of soul spirits was no joke, her innate spiritual power is extraordinarily strong.
After Ji Xueying became an aberrant walker, her future prospects have become even broader.

And it’s not as if Lin Rui can’t hire good hands.
Xue Lingxue and Gong Hengdao have already helped him scout some retired mercenaries from the military, and he is currently courting them.
Among them, two not only have an aberrant body, but their spiritual power is also very normal.
Aberrants can operate within the Extreme Heavenly Star, said to be very reliable.
“That’s true,” Meng Weiyun sighed when she remembered those girls inside the Dragon Guard Capital.
These candidate Dragon Guards are mostly orphans picked from the outside by Dragon Guard Capital.
If they exceed eighteen years old, they can’t transform into dragons, and their path in martial arts would be utterly severed.
With their abilities, they would not lead too difficult lives outside, but due to the hidden dangers left by their quick success in their skills, their life span is usually very short, about 40 years before they die.
“Actually, being a Dragon Guard has its benefits; their future lives are entrusted to you, and they are utterly loyal.
They also don’t impose a burden on your spiritual power like demons do, but if you’re not willing, let’s forget it.”
Meng Weiyun then pulled Lin Rui forward, “Let’s go, we’ll visit the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower and the Divine Prison Administration.
We can’t make it to the Assassination Office today; we can only go to these two places.
I’ll introduce you to some friends there; in the future, you’ll need to deal frequently with Ten Thousand Dragon Tower and Divine Prison Administration.
You might occasionally need some favors, and you can ask them for help.”
The Divine Prison Administration is the prison under Imperial City Administration that detains major criminals.
The former Governor of Sha Province, Yuan Chengkai, and Yu Wendan are currently imprisoned there.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Tower is a facility that suppresses demons of the sixth rank and above.
High realm Martial Cultivators all know that demons above the sixth rank are essentially ‘dragons’, which is why this place is called the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.
However, the Imperial City Administration also occasionally incarcerates lower rank demons related to cases in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower.
There is a top-tier Divine Artifact there that keeps demons conscious and their spiritual intelligence lively, which is convenient for interrogation.
After touring these two places with Meng Weiyun, Lin Rui’s face gradually showed happiness.
He felt that his points for exchanging for an Imperial Flame War Dragon had a new outlet.@@@@
Indeed, the world was becoming increasingly worse.
‘Twelve’ in ancient texts signifies divinity and eternity, an endless cycle, the implication is quite good.
However, now that you are an official of the Fifth Rank, serving as a Deputy Commander in the Subversive Actions Bureau, this name is a bit unfitting.
How about I give you a new name, Lin Hao?
The character ‘Hao’ signifies vastness and also refers to the sun, hoping that your future can be as bright as the midday sun and as boundless as the sky, embracing everything.”
Lin Rui immediately bowed deeply: “This name is excellent, I thank my mentor gratefully.”
From now on, his alternate self would be called Lin Hao, the meaning indeed quite good.
Many guests at the banquet knew that Luo Wangshu liked tranquility; perhaps today she deeply adored her disciple Lin Hao, which was why she made the mentorship ceremony so grand, covering the entire capital with invitations.
Thus, shortly after Lin Rui officially became a disciple, many high officials tactfully bid their farewells and left.
They were actually very busy and did not have time to stay longer.
When the Divine Envoy’s court quieted down after the guests dispersed to its usual solitude, their eldest fellow disciple asked with a grave expression, “Mentor seemed a bit distracted today?
Could it be related to yesterday’s astrological change?”
“Astrological change?” Meng Weiyun evidently surprised, said, “Yesterday, I also noticed something odd with the heavenly phenomena, feeling it related to the abyss.
But what happened?”
“Indeed, something happened.
The method of purification has now found its master, which might indicate that a new abyss may appear soon.”
Luo Wangshu’s gaze was complex: “Just last night, five great abysses converged in the East Sea, sweeping across a million miles in search of the headquarters of the Light Church.
Our divine beings also decreed this morning that from now on, we must enhance the effort to eradicate the Light Church, fully persecuting that Light Church leader.”
The expressions on the faces of the several fellow disciples present were greatly shocked, and they glanced at each other.
Lin Rui’s jaw almost dropped in astonishment.
He guessed that this matter was likely related to him.
So was he the disaster star of the Light Church?
No, that couldn’t be right; him, a minor character, how could he influence the five divine beings?
He definitely thought too much.
“However, this matter is irrelevant to you several, just carry on as usual.
As for the Subversive Actions Bureau under Lin Hao, you will have to exert a bit more effort in this affair.
Oh—”
Luo Wangshu suddenly recalled something: “Regarding that case of Zhao Yang, Hao’er, what are your thoughts?”
“I will handle the case impartially, not allowing any Heavenly Demons to intervene in the court.
However, since Zhao Yang is a high-ranking official who has served three reigns, in order to avoid public speculation and criticism, I will request that the Divine Envoy decree that all three judicial authorities participate.”
Lin Rui bowed slightly: “But as for the specifics, it still depends on tomorrow’s Heavenly Demon Test.”
Yu Wendan had been smoked by medicinal incense for a day and a night, and unlike Li Li, did not have an antidote provided by Lin Rui.
So whether Yu Wendan was an otherworldly traveler or not, he was now definitely a Heavenly Demon.
Therefore, there was really no need to start an investigation into this case.
If just any Heavenly Demon could accuse and trigger an investigation into a high-ranking official like Zhao Yang, how could this court continue to operate or maintain order?
How could all the high officials and nobles work in peace?
Furthermore, Yu Wendan, being a Heavenly Demon, yet pretending to be a native of their supreme celestial sphere, clearly had malicious intentions.
By then, who would dare to investigate the case?
The upright censors of the Imperial Censorate could drown them with spit.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wangshu nodded slightly in satisfaction, thinking that this disciple was truly to her liking.
