Chapter 836 - 53: Night Patrol’s Infiltration

Chapter 836: Chapter 53: Night Patrol’s Infiltration

Zhang Yuncai helplessly spread his hands; this law restricted everyone.

"This pattern in the Divine Land has been verified many times and is not questioned internally. We cannot attempt, as the port has Golden Scale Guards and is shrouded in fog, only the State Lord has the power to open the fog. There’s no other way out — getting caught in the fog spells certain death, let alone reaching the outside." Zhang Yuncai pondered and said, "However, I’ve heard that someone tried using the Golden Scale Guard identity, but upon exiting, they were incinerated under watchful eyes. Outside the Divine Land, unless you’re a disciple of the Celestial Destiny Sect and have the State Lord’s permission, there is no path."

Li Xin thought it over; Old Fang and the former Chief Red-robed Archbishop used this method as disciples of the Celestial Destiny Sect and executed orders under the State Lord, taking the opportunity to escape and exploiting the loophole perfectly.

It seems even the State Lord miscalculates sometimes, with the Celestial Destiny Sect not as tightly controlled.

Li Xin didn’t intend to break anything. The State Lord, the Lord of the Sacred Land, is undoubtedly no less than a Pope; challenging with life yields no benefit. He did not plan to stay in the Divine Land forever. Since there’s a way, he should first obtain the identity of a Celestial Destiny Sect disciple and seize the opportunity to execute a task outside. Old Fang had already paved the way.

"Chief, what do you need us to do? The brothers have been waiting for a long time." Zhang Yuncai’s eyes glowed with anticipation and excitement, for as a Night Patrol, simply keeping appearances was quite suppressive.

"I have a few questions; where do the Spirit Stones come from?" Li Xin asked.

"Spirit Stone Mines are near Cyan Dragon City, which lacks Spirit Ore due to relatively sparse Spiritual Energy. Spirit Ore exists in the outlying Prefecture Dao and near other three cities; Spirit Stones are excavated from the Spirit Mines, mostly controlled by the City Lords, with few in Cultivation Families’ hands."

"So, Spirit Stones are embedded in the rocks, not synthesized or made?"

"Yes, Chief." Zhang Yuncai wasn’t sure of the significance but answered truthfully, "After excavation, Spirit Stones are categorized by grade with simple processing; only high-grade stones are polished."

Spiritual Energy crystals?

Suddenly, he remembered Mist City, the mine area where Batty was digging frantically. Uncertain of the target, perhaps similar to the Spirit Stones, there might be some connection.

"What is the relationship between the Dragon God and the State Lord? Do we have more intelligence on them?"

"Chief, the Divine Land is somewhat similar but slightly different from our place; we have a faint concept of the Dragon God, but here, all Divine Land citizens are descendants of the Dragon God, it’s not worship but akin to an ancestral feeling, hence the Dragon God Festival. The State Lord is the highest leader appointed by the Dragon God, managing the entire Divine Land. Practically, besides selecting Celestial Destiny Sect disciples and Dragon God Festival, the State Lord doesn’t manage mundane affairs, which are handled by City Lords and Golden Scale Guards, while Sect Masters of Major Sects hold considerable sway."

Li Xin pondered a moment, "What is the State Lord’s capability, can he bypass the Divine Land’s law restrictions?"

"Chief, from our observation and analysis, probably yes; the State Lord enforces the law but is usually in a closed-off state, even during activities, the true form doesn’t reveal, at most Divine Consciousness descends." Zhang Yuncai said, "In Divine Land terms, his second Primordial Spirit descends."

Li Xin looked at Zhang Yuncai, clearly not an ordinary Night Patrol; his secret knowledge was quite vast, no wonder since he was the head of Divine Land’s Night Patrol.

"Everyone else is below Five Lives?"

"Yes, but after leaving Divine Land, they recover," Zhang Yuncai said.

"What is the situation with Golden Core; do we have anyone achieving it?"

"We’re not that talented." Zhang Yuncai smiled wryly, "While there are numerous Golden Cores in the Divine Land, it’s still hard to cultivate."

"How does Golden Core manifest within the Divine Land?"

"We’ve researched this; we have a team member at Jiuxiao Building where Golden Core experts act. Typically, Golden Core Spiritual Abilities exceed Fourth Grade considerably; notably, they consistently maintain peak Spiritual Ability with no fluctuation or fatigue, a feature that suppresses below Golden Core. Due to abundant Spiritual Ability, their understanding of combat skills and capabilities becomes extraordinary, especially in exploiting their Spirit Root." Zhang Yuncai said, eyeing Li Xin’s calm face, could not help but remind, "Chief, Divine Land is far superior to the outside; outside Magic is unrefined here."

Li Xin was not concerned, which meant besides the closed-off State Lord, others pose no threat to him.

"By the way, Golden Core corresponds to our Five Lives, what’s above Golden Core?"

Zhang Yuncai smiled wryly, "Chief, we’re clueless on this."

Li Xin thinks, Golden Core matches Angel; the State Lord with Divine Soul descent being at least Seven Lives, akin to Pope. Divine Soul... is it similar to Nascent Soul here, a secondary soul incarnation?

In ancient eras, or Dao Yuan, whether a cultivation era existed, with Nine-character True Words on the Star Disc indicating that previously, it was mainstream; not knowing why it transformed into the current situation.

Era changes, Divine Beings vary, Ancient Dragon Race fades, laws confine, Divine Land in turmoil, Old Fang and former Chief flee; with his knowledge of Old Fang’s character, it shouldn’t just be an "escape."

Li Xin couldn’t help but touch his nose, the cost of rescue was steep; ultimately trapped by Old Fang, leaving demands clarification.

"What’s our team member at Jiuxiao Building’s name?"

"Reporting to Chief, he’s called Que Mingyuan, manages the preliminary Martial Arts Arena at Jiuxiao Building, nicknamed Magpie, infiltrated Jiuxiao Building long ago."

"Well done, achieving this is quite commendable." Li Xin said, despite low status, wielding significant real power and acquiring substantial intelligence; Night Patrol indeed executed professionally.

Seeing Zhang Yuncai’s eager yet hesitant gaze, Li Xin smiled, "Among my tasks this visit is finding a way to lead everyone out of Divine Land."

Instantly, Zhang Yuncai’s eyes reddened, "Chief, we’ve waited long for this day."

Though life in Divine Land stabled, they still missed home. Bringing Divine Land family home would be ideal.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Yuncai, Li Xin headed to Jiuxiao Building while instructing Zhang Yuncai to inform Magpie without revealing his identity to others for now. The situation in Divine Land bears semblance to Divpo City, needing further navigation.
