Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 698 - 616: Source News (Part 2)

"If we can gather the two origins, we will be able to forge unparalleled foundation for the Tripod Aspiration Realm."

"After forging the supreme foundation, it wouldn’t be too late to advance to the Unity Realm."

Thinking of this, Qin An temporarily put aside the idea of advancement, and after exchanging for a Heart Method from the Daoist Official of the Internal Affairs Department, he walked out of the Confidential Library.

Outside the Confidential Library, the sunlight was just right, streaming through the white clouds and spilling over the land, bringing a comfortable warmth.

Qin An stretched lazily and moved around a bit, feeling as if he had been staying in the deep mountains for a long time.

After stretching, he identified a direction and walked toward it.

...

At this moment, Li Moyun was buried in handling official duties.

As the Golden Dao Marshal of the Evil Extermination Bureau, Li Moyun’s daily duties were very busy.

Today’s tasks were handled very smoothly, as the Demon Pseudo-Gods had long been like rats crossing the street.

It didn’t take him long to finish approving the last document.

After placing it aside, he picked up the green porcelain teapot beside him and poured himself a cup.

After taking a small sip, Li Moyun seemed a bit puzzled.

"Once upon a time, the Celestial Cloud Path was fraught with danger, yet now it’s as stable as mountains, truly surprising."

Li Moyun put down the teacup, murmuring to himself, "I wonder if Qin An is still in the Confidential Library and what he’s doing now."

He, after all, belonged to the Third Prince, who often asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Thus, he was also aware of Qin An’s current situation.

But he also understood Qin An’s character, so he never disturbed him.

However, he was full of curiosity about Qin An, not knowing when Qin An would leave the Confidential Library.

Thinking of this, Li Moyun shook his head.

"Never mind, Qin An’s status has long surpassed mine, what good is it for me to worry about this, I’d better continue with my own matters."

Having figured this out, Li Moyun stopped overthinking it, planning to go out for a bit of exercise, and by the way, check out the current state of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

But just as he got up and stepped outside, a familiar figure walked from the end of the courtyard.

Li Moyun was struck dumb, as if hit by lightning, standing still.

After several breaths, he finally came to his senses, quickly walking forward, ready to say a few more words.

However, Qin An raised his hand to interrupt first, "Mr. Li, I’m here for something important, can we sit down and discuss?"

Li Moyun nodded, sitting on the round stool in the courtyard.

He knew Qin An was a straightforward person, and although the Celestial Cloud Path was calm as water now, everyone knowledgeable about the inside knew that Qin An faced quite a few crises.

The fact that Qin An was here must mean he had something important to say.

He was also willing to help Qin An, not only because he admired Qin An but also because the Third Prince stood behind him.

The stronger Qin An became, the greater the benefit for the Third Prince as well.

With the Third Prince gaining a formidable ally, he might have a greater chance in the competition for the position of Crown Prince in the future.

Qin An sat across from Li Moyun and asked, "Mr. Li, do you have any news about the origins of water and fire?"

Hearing this, Li Moyun looked surprised.

He instinctively asked, "Why do you specifically ask about these two? Have you already gathered the other three origins?"

The implication in the previous words was clear.

Under normal circumstances, Qin An might not ask this way, but now that he did, it meant he had already collected the other three origins.

Qin An straightforwardly nodded, "Indeed, I have gathered the other three origins."

Li Moyun’s face showed shock, looking at Qin An with disbelief.

To his knowledge, even the Forbidden Land Golden Envoys of Celestial Cloud Path had never gathered a single origin.

The origins were extremely precious, and any single one falling into the Celestial Cloud Path would be enough to cause terrifying bloodshed.

Such incredibly precious origins, Qin An had surprisingly gathered three in total.

"No wonder it’s you!" Li Moyun said with a bitter smile, "From Ding County all the way to now, each realm you’ve reached has built up an unparalleled foundation. If this news spreads, people might not believe it, but only you could achieve this."

At this time, Li Moyun realized that Qin An’s journey was truly legendary.

Every step seemed fraught with danger, yet was as stable as a great ship calming the sea.

Now, he was on the verge of forging a sublime foundation for the Tripod.

Qin An nodded and said, "Just a matter of luck."

"Back to the point, Mr. Li, do you have information on these two origins?"

Li Moyun shook his head, saying helplessly, "If it were something else, I could help you, no matter how difficult I wouldn’t refuse."

"But to inquire about the information on the two origins, I truly cannot find it."

Origins are so precious that if obtaining information on them were easy, the foundation of the Tripod Aspiration Realm would not be so rare.

Therefore, Li Moyun was speaking the truth.

Qin An pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I’ll take my leave."

For him, coming to ask Li Moyun for information was just on the way.

He didn’t hold much hope, so he planned to leave the place first.

Once back, he would organize his thoughts, and if he figured things out, he might temporarily leave the Evil Extermination Bureau to see if he could find the other two origins outside.

Long ago, he had an agreement with Leng Qing of the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak, but he didn’t know what had happened there as it had been so long without anyone contacting him.

He temporarily set aside these thoughts, deciding to first deal with his matters before considering it.

But just then, footsteps sounded, interrupting the rhythm of the two.

A Silver Dao Marshal rushed in from outside.

Seeing Qin An and Li Moyun, he showed surprise, but quickly regained composure.

The Silver Dao Marshal first greeted Qin An, then walked up to Li Moyun, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Li, there seems to be a demon force recently showing signs of revival. They have already wiped out a human force, and our dispatched Silver Dao Marshals have been eliminated by them, as they appear to possess a unique power."

Hearing this, Li Moyun slightly furrowed his brows: "What’s the situation?"

He was somewhat puzzled. Normally, the demon forces now were just lingering remnants.

Yet a demon force strong enough to eliminate a Silver Dao Marshal was bizarre.

The Silver Dao Marshal immediately said, "We’ve already sent colleagues to retrieve the fallen comrades’ bodies. The forensic doctor’s examination revealed traces of them being burned by water and fire."

"Moreover, the other side has declared that if Mr. Qin doesn’t meet with them, they will continue slaughtering on the Celestial Cloud Path."

"Several Golden Dao Marshals are preparing to eliminate them, considering the matter might relate to Mr. Qin, so they sent me to inform Mr. Li to see if he can get in touch with Mr. Qin."

Saying this, the Silver Dao Marshal carefully observed Qin An while speaking.

At this moment, Qin An had stopped in his tracks, and when the Silver Dao Marshal mentioned it related to him, he frowned.

"Let’s see the bodies first."

Qin An didn’t waste words, speaking concisely.

With such a sudden change, he felt that there was something significant involved.

But he needed to first understand the situation thoroughly.

Li Moyun thought for a moment, then responded, "Lead the way."

Both were straightforward people, not wasting any words.

The Silver Dao Marshal dared not say more and quickly headed outside.

Shortly, they arrived at the courtyard of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

At this moment, several bodies lay in the courtyard.

These bodies bore marks of being scorched by water and fire, looking particularly tragic.

Several Golden Dao Marshals were waiting beside the bodies.

When Qin An arrived at the courtyard, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

And at this moment, Qin An’s gaze fell on those bodies.

The next moment, three of the origins within Qin An slightly trembled.
