Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 892: Chapter 713: Return Journey, Advancement 2

"No more words needed. You can leave now, but I also hope that as you said earlier, you hold no great resentment towards this world and will not harm the innocent. Furthermore, I think you can visit the imperial capital of Daqian Kingdom to meet the current Emperor Xuanwu."

"He is not as narrow-minded as you might imagine. The world has changed from before; perhaps it needs your strength to protect it together."

City Lord Zhou showed a look of confusion and asked, "What has happened in this world? Why must we protect it together?"

Qin An shook his head and said, "Once you reach the imperial capital of Daqian Kingdom, you will understand. For now, that’s all I wish to say; the matter is very complex."

Currently, having acquired the supreme essence of the Celestial Human Realm, he only wishes to return to the imperial capital of Daqian Kingdom to increase his proficiency.

As for other matters, he temporarily does not wish to think about them.

Qin An said no more and then walked forward silently.

Seeing this, City Lord Zhou waved his sleeve and declared, "As Qin said, order all Pseudo-Gods to pack immediately; we will go to the imperial capital of Daqian Kingdom. Some grudges need to be resolved."

City Lord Zhou knew that to find a foothold in Daqian Kingdom, at least Emperor Xuanwu must feel they pose no threat. They must show their sincerity.

As Qin An disappeared, many Pseudo-Gods quickly packed their belongings and then followed City Lord Zhou, leaving the Land of Emptiness.

The dragon vein powers that originally suppressed this place did not perceive any malice nor stopped them from leaving.

...

Through that long dry well, Qin An successfully left the Land of Emptiness and arrived outside the Imperial Palace.

Outside, the sun was bright. After staying underground for so long, Qin An felt very uncomfortable.

Absorbing the sunlight, Qin An felt revitalized once more.

At this moment, many Hidden Guards were on duty, and upon seeing Qin An appear, they all let out a sigh of relief.

They didn’t know what Qin An was doing in the Land of Emptiness, but seeing Qin An return indicated he had accomplished what he set out to do.

Just as these Hidden Guards prepared to move aside, a powerful wave of Pseudo-God energy suddenly appeared around them.

Next, City Lord Zhou led the group of Pseudo-Gods, jumping out of the dry well and standing behind Qin An.

The number of Pseudo-Gods was so vast it made one’s scalp tingle.

Instinctively, the Hidden Guards reached for their weapons, ready to attack these Pseudo-Gods.

Qin An glanced at the Hidden Guards, slowly raising his hand: "No need to act; they are here to meet the Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Guards instantly ceased their actions and did not proceed.

They trusted Qin An because he was the Savior and one of Daqian Kingdom’s legendary figures.

Since Qin An said there was no problem, they suppressed the urge to act.

Qin An turned to City Lord Zhou, saying, "Now follow me to the Imperial Study!"

Upon entering this world, City Lord Zhou and the Pseudo-Gods enjoyed the rare sunshine and scenery before regaining focus after hearing Qin An.

City Lord Zhou raised his hand in a gesture of respect: "Lead the way, my friend."

Qin An nodded slightly, saying no more, heading towards the location of the Imperial Study.

The crowd immediately formed a line and quickly vanished next to the dry well.

...

Outside the Imperial Study, City Lord Zhou and others stood in the courtyard, waiting patiently.

Qin An slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xuanwu had already set down his scroll, reclining in his chair with an expression of ’just as expected.’

Cultivators of his realm could naturally sense changes in the outside world and knew Qin An had brought a group of Pseudo-Gods to the Imperial Study.

Yet, he trusted Qin An greatly and awaited a response from him.

Upon entering, Qin An wasted no time narrating everything he encountered in the Land of Emptiness.

After Qin An finished, Emperor Xuanwu displayed an expression of understanding.

"I will speak to them and explain the changes and reasons behind the world," Emperor Xuanwu said leisurely. "Rest assured, with the addition of these Pseudo-Gods, the kingdom’s strength will be greatly enhanced. I will make proper arrangements, ensuring no mishaps occur."

Qin An nodded, "It is excellent that Your Majesty will personally handle this. I have other matters to attend, so I must take my leave now."

He needed to enhance the proficiency of his Scholar Profession, striving to advance to the next level, then find a way to elevate his strength to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Beyond that, he wished to avoid further involvement.

At present, focusing on elevating his strength was paramount.

Emperor Xuanwu smiled knowingly: "Alright, you may go now. Let them in on your way out."

Qin An said no more, turned and left the Imperial Study, informing City Lord Zhou and others to enter.

After completing his message, he departed the courtyard outside the Imperial Study for his residence.

...

Closing the door behind him, Qin An sat in a room lit by flickering lamps, his fists slightly clenched, eyes brimming with determination.

"The next step is to diligently enhance and raise my strength to the Heavenly Human Realm."

With this in mind, he did not linger longer; he set out for the largest library in the palace.

Thus, Qin An once more embarked on his path.

Meanwhile, far from the imperial capital of Daqian Kingdom, the Mechanical Emperor sat by a river, his body aglow with metallic radiance, watching the surging waters with a look of contentment.

"Such a vital world, truly lovable," whispered the Mechanical Emperor, a flicker of brightness in his eyes.

Suddenly, a metallic mosquito vibrated its wings, slowly approaching his presence.

The Mechanical Emperor reached out his hand, letting the mosquito land in his palm, and connected to its consciousness using a special power.

A moment later, he waved gently, sending the mechanical mosquito flying into the distance.

"The insect plague in various places has reached its limit; it’s under my control, remaining hidden to prevent any development," he mused.

"Now, the accumulated insects are sufficient; after a few months, I can let the plague erupt, leaving Daqian Kingdom without harvest," he thought.

With these thoughts, the Mechanical Emperor’s lips curled into a slight smile.

He then rose slowly, his figure disappearing by the riverside.

...

Time moved swiftly, and in a blink, several months passed.

During this period, life became increasingly tranquil. However, within that tranquility lay a hint of turmoil.

Insect plagues emerged across various regions. Though not seemingly severe, even the officials of Daqian Kingdom struggled to eradicate them completely.

Officials were puzzled as to why the insect plague could not be entirely eradicated.

Despite the pests, the plague couldn’t reach the core of Daqian Kingdom, and while officials exerted their efforts to control the situation, it did not impede cultivation.

Rather, they regarded the pest issue as a relatively stubborn ailment.

As this time unfolded, everyone directed their sights toward the Imperial Palace amidst their cultivation.

Curiosity grew about when the Savior would depart the palace.

At this moment, Qin An, carrying a book in his hand, walked slowly towards his residence.

Many of Daqian Kingdom’s guards, upon seeing Qin An, made way for him.

Before long, Qin An returned to the room and closed the door.

It was still early; sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room brilliantly.

After pouring a cup of tea, he sipped slowly before directing his gaze toward the void ahead.

Over these months, under the tenfold enhancement, his proficiency increased at a rapid pace, visible to the naked eye.

The frenzy in proficiency brought immense benefits. Undisturbed, he devoted himself to cultivation, his proficiency advancing swiftly.

With increasing proficiency came the progress in his Scholar Profession.

Before him, smoke shifted and condensed into letters.
