The Old Chen Who Didn't Know Life from Death

Within the territory of the Eastern Continent, at the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department.

Located in the heart of the state, with its extensive network of roads and the ubiquitous road network throughout the country, this place has become a truly important military stronghold.

In other words, Qin Han, being a direct disciple of the Eastern Continent's Director of the Celestial Observatory, was able to directly connect the extraterrestrial teleportation array to this location.

If you're just an outsider, without a special pass, you probably couldn't get in even if you tried your hardest.

At this moment, the sky is clear and bright.

Within the grand array of the bureau, specifically responsible for receiving envoys traveling abroad, two beams of light quietly rose up.

We've arrived.

Qin Han looked around, cupped his hands in greeting to the disciples guarding the formation outside, and handed over his identification.

He then turned around and looked at the slightly curious White-robed Youth.

Ye Li nodded slightly, somewhat surprised.

Judging from its extraterrestrial scale, the gravity of this Taiqing Ancestral Star is probably countless times greater than that of Tianheng Star.

However, upon arrival, there was no overwhelming feeling of falling.

On the contrary, the internal energy within his body was clearly suppressed.

Even the range of Divine Consciousness leaving the body has been greatly reduced.

It was as if the world here was filled with a mysterious and profound energy, constantly suppressing those great beings who had transcended the realm of demigods.

It must be... the power of [Laws] that Qin Han mentioned.

"Senior Brother Qin, welcome back."

After confirming that everything was correct, the disciples guarding outside the formation returned Qin Han's identification token with smiles on their faces. "The Director of the Celestial Observatory Bureau often thinks of you."

"My master rarely comes back, so how could he possibly miss me?" Qin Han said helplessly as he put away his identification document.

The guard disciple, exposed in front of everyone, chuckled twice, then looked at Ye Li behind him and asked curiously:

"And who is this?"

"Mr. Ye, this is our newly appointed guest elder of the Heavenly Supervision Department." Qin Han turned slightly to the side and introduced him with a smile.

He was hoping that everyone in the Heavenly Supervision Department would come and ask about the situation, which would increase Ye Li's reputation within the agency and allow him to naturally reconnect with his master.

"So it's Elder Ye."

Upon hearing this, the group of guards were all startled and bowed respectfully to the young man, their words filled with obvious reverence.

The Guest Elder within the company must at least be Venerables of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

Although their overall strength varies, they are usually only used as combat units to supply the branches of the Heavenly Supervision Department established by various major prefectures.

However, its nominal status is not low.

A very small number of Guest Elder were even able to use their prestige to directly transform the local Heavenly Supervision Department into their own study, thus becoming genuine bigwigs within the Heavenly Supervision Department.

As the current direct disciple of the Eastern Continent Director of the Celestial Observatory, Qin Han possesses exceptionally keen insight. How could the guest elder invited by him be an ordinary venerable figure?

It seems impossible just thinking about it.

"Sir, let's go to the Imperial Sky Observatory first. I've already spoken with Elder Chen, who's in charge of this matter."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Han led Ye Li out of the array's range and quickly headed deeper into the colossal building.

Many of the disciples from the department greeted Qin Han along the way.

They are at least at the Dao Observation Realm or even the Hegemony Realm.

There are definitely Martial Dao Grandmaster everywhere.

Although they are nothing but ants to Ye Li now, it is still enough to surprise ordinary people.

It's unclear whether this is because the warriors on Taiqing Ancestral Star generally have higher combat strength, or because the Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department Headquarters truly possesses a strong foundation.

Inside the Imperial Sky Observatory.

Elderly men dressed in black robes sat in their respective halls, their expressions serene, while the people coming and going stood obediently below, awaiting their fate.

For ordinary local strongmen who want to join the Heavenly Supervision Department, only the local Imperial Sky Observatory needs to review and assign them. Only those Peak Martial Artist the Seventh-Tier of Mountain Sea Realm or above) can be assigned to the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department after passing the first approval.

Once you arrive at this headquarters, no matter where you were before, you must all adopt a subservient and obedient attitude.

No way.

Without the backing of a powerful family or the background of an Immortal Sect.

Where you are assigned to a post depends entirely on the mood of the Imperial Sky Observatory elder and whether he likes you or not.

From those at the Seventh-Tier of Mountain Sea Realm to those at the Sun Moon Realm Peak, none of them could receive a pleasant look from these elders of the Imperial Sky Observatory.

"If I had encountered a senior official of the Imperial Sky Observatory who was fair and impartial, this trip might have gone much more smoothly. But I was unlucky; this Elder Chen I encountered is notoriously petty..."

"Fortunately, my master's reputation within the company is unparalleled, so he dared not act openly and promised that he would stop making things difficult for me once he had seen you in person."

As they approached their destination, Qin Han became noticeably more talkative, recounting the events that had transpired to Ye Li.

The part about Elder Chen making things difficult for the elderly was simply omitted.

He knew that the Mr. Ye beside him was a ruthless person who dared to offend the Immortal Sect. If he really heard about Elder Chen's face, he would probably just leave the Heavenly Supervision Department in a huff.

The land of Shenzhou is vast, and no Immortal Sect would dare to refuse a future Heaven and Earth Venerable who is destined to the Divine Connection Realm.

That's heartbreaking enough.

However, the worst-case scenario would be if Mr. Ye were to become completely disillusioned with the entire Divine Continent and turn to the myriad races beyond it...

That would be completely contrary to Qin Han's ideals.

The mere thought of it sent chills down his spine.

If there are myriad races that have come to Shenzhou to seek refuge, then naturally there are also warriors from Shenzhou who have come to seek refuge from the myriad races.

"Qin Han, is this the Heaven and Earth Venerable you introduced?"

In the high hall, Elder Chen finally raised his head from the table. He first glanced down at Qin Han, whose face was taut, then looked at the young Daoist priest in Baiyi, tapped his fingers lightly, and asked:

"A rogue cultivator from Outer Domain, isn't that right?"

"Exactly." Ye Li's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to mind this way of speaking.

"That's third-rate among the Venerables. Their lineage is disordered, their methods are mediocre, and only their cultivation level is commendable. No wonder they came to the Shenzhou Sky Supervision Division to get an official position."

Elder Chen flipped through the document, shaking his head repeatedly with apparent regret. "Has it ever severely injured Heaven and Earth Venerable of the same level?"

"Never."

"Have you ever directly defeated the manifested Dharma Form of a Venerable of the same rank?"

"No." Ye Li gently shook his head.

Elder Chen's smile deepened, "Have you captured...?"

"Elder Chen! You've gone too far!"

Hearing their conversation, Qin Han's expression turned extremely ugly, his brows and eyes filled with an unusually strong anger!

"When have troop deployments ever followed such a procedure? Have you forgotten my previous advice?"
