Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 789: The Sound of the Voice

After the image on the field screen stabilized, the spectators could also see the scene clearly. Just from the state and appearance of the two parties involved, they could tell who won the final victory.

Before the war broke out, many people had thought about a one-sided situation, but most of them subconsciously regarded Long Xiang as the stronger one. But who would have thought that the actual result would be just the opposite?
On the Municipal Council side, the image on the field screen finally froze on the place where Chen Chuan and Long Xiang had just fought.

Although the fight lasted only a short while, the ground in the wasteland was devastated everywhere, as if it had been bombed by a powerful artillery shell. The fighter's destructive power was clearly revealed, which greatly shocked those who witnessed it.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then emotions of panic, anger, and anxiety gradually spread here.

The city councillors had thought that as long as Long Xiang defeated Chen Chuan in battle and frightened him, everything would be fine.

But now it seems that this person not only failed to stop Chen Chuan, but also made the latter realize that the obstacles ahead were just for show.

If this person really wants to attack them now, who can stop him?
Just relying on active consciousness?

The Municipal Council's active consciousness "Guardian Spider" is technically comparable to Wuyi Academy's Hong Fu. In theory, it is very powerful, but no one can tell what it is like before an actual battle, not even they themselves know for sure.

And this thing is actually a deterrent. Its existence is more important than its practicality. It is of greatest value only before it is triggered. Once it appears, it is easy for people to lose their awe.

After witnessing Long Xiang's failure, they are now even more afraid to release this thing and can only use it as their last trump card.

The feeling of uneasiness among the people present at this moment had reached its peak. Some people accused the parliamentarians who allowed Long Xiang to test the situation on the spot. If they had known that this would be the result, they would not have done it in the first place.

After some shirking of responsibility and heated arguments, everyone finally reached a consensus that they must strengthen cooperation with the consortium and cultivate a new sense of activity as soon as possible.

Under the pressure from Chen Chuan, they felt that only by having two active consciousnesses at the same time could they have a little self-protection power.

However, the cultivation of an active consciousness is not a matter of a day or a night. Depending on the role and form of the consciousness, it usually takes several years or even more than ten years to cultivate.

Of course, in order to quickly form combat effectiveness this time, the consortium brought an embryo with complete technology, which can completely omit the initial investment, but even so, it may take one to two years.

In addition to appeasement, they were willing to provide Chen Chuan with three years of cultivation resources for this purpose. He thought that even for the supply of these resources, he would think about it before taking action. Another person might even protect the parliament in turn. Of course, he did not expect Chen Chuan to do so, but he only hoped that he could survive this period of time.

After finishing this topic, Speaker Quan came outside alone, stuck his cane on the ground, frowned and thought deeply. The crisis in front of him was resolved, but the problem was far from over. It can be imagined that when the things in the Integration Land are over, Yao Zhiyi will come back.

These are two fighters.

The imbalance in high-end military power, coupled with this defeat, will make it difficult for them to have as loud a voice as before in negotiations with the Government Affairs Office, and it is inevitable that their living space will be compressed for a period of time.

But fortunately, there is still a chance. There is not only one intensive cultivation sect in the central city, but also a fusion sect.

He knew that some people in the parliament were fusionists, and he had many private connections with them. Some of them could no longer be considered human beings.

However, until now he had no intention of actively looking for the fusion faction. This was because the fusion faction might have been deeply involved in that incident back then. If the pure faction were to gain a foothold in Jibei Province again, the fusion faction might not be able to tolerate it.

While he was thinking, he suddenly saw an important contact signal coming in. After seeing it, he immediately answered it and said, "Mr. Long?"

"Hahahaha... Speaker Quan."

Just by listening to the voice, you couldn't tell that this was the man who had been beaten so miserably just now.

"I believe you have seen the result of the battle just now. I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible and send the high-energy food that person needs to make up for the consumption in this battle. It doesn't matter if it's one o'clock in the evening here, but as for the other side... you can decide for yourselves."

Speaker Quan said, "Mr. Long, thank you for your reminder. I have already arranged this matter as soon as possible. Your copy should be delivered in a few minutes. But... may I ask a question?"

"Huh...what do you want to ask?"

Chairman Quan said: "Mr. Long, did you give your all in this battle?"

There was a moment of silence over there, and after a short laugh, a deep voice said, "Are you asking me if I let you win? Let me put it this way, luckily this battle wasn't a real life-and-death struggle, otherwise I might have been lying there.

I roughly understand your thoughts. Do you think that I am a senior, so my fighting ability should be stronger? In theory, this is true, but the actual situation is more complicated and it is difficult for you to explain clearly. Okay, let's stop here and send the things out as soon as possible."

After saying this, Mr. Long immediately ended the conversation.

He personally took winning and losing quite lightly. After becoming a fourth-level fighter, as long as there were no problems in his training, he was not killed by the enemy halfway, or his own life energy was not exhausted, and he was not infected by some external factors, his life span would hardly come to an end naturally. At least he had never heard of any fighter who died of old age.

This gives him enough time to improve himself.

Losing once is not a problem, especially in this kind of competition, it can help to find out one's own shortcomings, so that he will have experience in the next formal battle. But this does not mean that he likes to talk about it with others, especially when he just lost in front of many people.

He sighed inwardly: "The Purity Faction has gained a new expert."

But he seemed to have thought of something and smiled meaningfully, because from now on, the ones who would be more worried would not be their Jingxiu faction. As expected, there should be something interesting to watch next.

On the other hand, the contact person of the other Federation, under the instruction of the representatives of the Federation, tried to get some information from the fighter Prabhakar.

"Master, Mr. Long probably didn't use all his strength this time, right?"

Prabhakar gave a clear and affirmative answer: "No."

The liaison officer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, if it's a real life-and-death battle..."

Prabhakar smiled and said, "You misunderstood. He was unable to use his strength not because he didn't want to, but because he simply couldn't use it. Before he could use it, he was restrained by Manager Chen. In my opinion, even if these two fought again, the result would be the same."

The contact person was shocked. He did not expect to receive such an evaluation. He thought for a moment and asked again: "If you, Master, had stepped forward at that time, you would have been able to make this person give in, right..."

Prabhakar did not answer his question directly, but just shook his head and smiled, saying: "Although Mr. Long lost the battle, it may not be a bad thing. Once the cause falls, there will be consequences. This matter is already complicated and confusing, why add me to it?"

The contact person thought about it and seemed to understand a little. He touched his chest and said, "Thank you, Master, for telling me this."

At the same time, Chen Chuan was driving a Gard back to the city, thinking about the route he would take next.

Wei Guochan and Long Xiang both practiced different appearances. Their path of practice was to rely on various external appearances. In the fourth limit, they needed to "guard the true form and gather the spiritual appearance". If they could not guard it, the external appearance would probably become the true self.

Just as Long Xiang said just now, he might not be able to control his emotions, which should be due to the influence of external appearances. This may not be due to insufficient cultivation, but the inevitable consequence of clinging to external appearances. In the end, it is hard to say whether my true self will be infected by it and regard external appearances as my true form.

As for the appearance of God, he has not come into contact with it specifically, but this path only recognizes the self of the heart, not the self of the body. The body is not the most important thing on this path, and in his cognition, the complete self is me, so there is no need to think too much about the path he takes, it must be the appearance of a human.

So how does relying solely on the human body compare with the other two paths of spiritual practice?

He made a breakthrough with an unprecedented foundation, so he could defeat some people with his physical fitness, but what do others who take the same path rely on?

While he was thinking, the phone rang. He looked at it and connected it. A smart voice rang out: "Cousin, someone from the Municipal Council contacted me.

This time, as compensation for your battle, they have stored the things at the Wansheng Group, and my cousin can get them at any time.

In addition, the municipal council will provide three years of practice resources and ask my cousin when to sign the agreement. You can set a suitable time."

Chen Chuan said calmly: "Tell them that they don't need to sign the agreement, just ask them to remember to provide it."

This agreement is a unilateral payment from the municipal council. Even if he doesn't sign it, the council will still give him what he owes. If not, he can come to the council at any time. Moreover, Long Xiang is the guarantor, so the council dare not deny it.

He actually knew what the other party's plan was. They simply wanted to use these resources to trap him so that he wouldn't have to cause trouble for these people for the time being and buy time for himself to accumulate strength. However, he also had a lot to learn now, and by then it would depend on who had accumulated more strength.
