Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 697 - 616: News of the Origins

On the black surface of the water.

The Celestial Demon Envoy’s tone carried an extreme chill, like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

When the shadowy figure heard this, he couldn’t help but shudder, feeling a bone-piercing killing intent coil around this place.

Even with his strength, he still couldn’t resist it.

But he still braced himself and asked, "Why is it that after he forges a supreme foundation and reaches the Unity Realm, that will instead be the time of his death?"

He still couldn’t understand.

Logically speaking, doing something that strengthens the enemy to such a degree was absolutely something that must not be done.

Thus, this move by the Celestial Demon Envoy seemed to be all harm and no benefit.

The Celestial Demon Envoy flicked his sleeve and let out another cold laugh. "You just need to do as you’re told. What harm is there in doing what I ask you to do? And once any consequences arise, naturally I will take responsibility. Why are you asking so many questions?"

These words were spoken very calmly, but within that calmness was a trace of impatience.

The shadowy figure immediately snapped awake; beads of sweat densely covered his forehead, and he felt that he had been somewhat overstepping just now.

What kind of existence was the Celestial Demon Envoy?

He was the one closest to Lord Celestial Demon, practically the representative of Lord Celestial Demon walking this realm.

How could someone like him be questioned by the likes of himself?

For him to have asked so much and yet not be slapped to death on the spot by the Celestial Demon Envoy was already an incredible stroke of luck.

Thinking this, the shadowy figure nodded, said no more, and bent at the waist, replying respectfully, "Yes."

Only then did the Celestial Demon Envoy clasp his hands behind his back and say faintly, "Remember, you must give it in a way that feels utterly natural. Do not let him develop any suspicions."

"He is, after all, the Savior. I worry other incidents might arise; that would be troublesome."

"During this period, don’t get involved in any other matters. Let him have a period of peace, and we will also have a period of peace."

The shadowy figure nodded again and said respectfully, "Your subordinate obeys."

By the time he raised his head, the Celestial Demon Envoy had already disappeared.

The water’s surface once again returned to calm.

The shadowy figure thought for a moment, then raised his right hand.

As soon as he lifted his hand, a huge vortex appeared on the water’s surface.

Immediately after, two traitors walked out from the vortex and knelt upon the water, looking extremely respectful.

The shadowy figure said blandly, "Find a way to contact the demons of the Celestial Cloud Path. Tell them they must, by any means necessary, stuff these two Origins into Qin An."

"It doesn’t matter if you have to pay a price, as long as the process of giving them to Qin An feels completely natural and doesn’t arouse the slightest suspicion in him."

The two traitors each received one Origin, then took their leave.

Soon, the water’s surface returned to normal, as if nothing unusual had ever happened.

...

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

During this period, the Celestial Cloud Path remained as calm as still water.

The Demon Pseudo-God Power seemed to have vanished entirely; aside from occasionally stirring up some incidents that could be completely ignored, they made no other moves.

The Celestial Cloud Path had never been this quiet before.

Both the martial world forces of the Celestial Cloud Path and the Evil Extermination Bureau knew very clearly that this peace came from one person—Qin An.

Since Qin An last left the Evil Extermination Bureau, many rumors had spread back here.

Anyone qualified to know about the Forbidden Areas was aware of what Qin An had done in the Black Stone Forbidden Area and couldn’t help but secretly click their tongues in amazement.

With the strength of one man he faced off against three large Forbidden Areas, overturning their conspiracy.

Such a feat was something even a Forbidden Land Golden Envoy would find hard to accomplish, yet Qin An had done it.

Those who knew about this were somewhat dazed.

They suddenly realized that Qin An hadn’t actually been in the Celestial Cloud Path’s Evil Extermination Bureau for very long.

But in this extremely short span of time, he had gone from a nobody to a figure whose name shook the entire Celestial Cloud Path—a development that was simply astonishing.

In the past, perhaps there were still people trying every possible way to get close to Qin An.

But ever since Qin An pulled off that huge feat in the Forbidden Area, all those who wanted to get close to him gave up the idea.

The reason was simple: Qin An was just too powerful—so powerful that they couldn’t even raise the thought of drawing near to him.

This situation also allowed Qin An, upon his return, to enjoy a rare period of quiet.

At this moment, Qin An looked at the words before him and let out a long breath.

[Scholar lv.23 (0/120000): Your reading speed has greatly increased. You have eidetic memory, deeper understanding, broadened associative thinking, enhanced gains, and can infer much from little. Proficiency gains have greatly increased.]

...

During this period, he had been constantly cultivating the proficiency of the Scholar Profession within the Celestial Cloud Path, never leaving it—one could say he had not taken a single step outside, spending every moment in this dull, flavorless life.

But this dull, flavorless life had brought Qin An tremendous benefits.

The proficiency of the Scholar Profession had successfully been trained by him to level twenty-three, and all his talents had reached Perfection in the Tripod Aspiration Realm.

It could be said that as long as Qin An deduced just one more Tripod Aspiration Realm Heart Method, he would be able to successfully step into the Unity Realm.

However, Qin An was in no hurry right now.

He sat on a chair in the Confidential Library, slid the book in his hand back onto the shelf, and began silently calculating.

"Right now I possess the Golden Origin, the Wood Origin, and the Earth Origin; I’m still missing the Water and Fire Origins."
