192: Breakthrough! Spirit River Realm!

The next morning.

When the first ray of dawn filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting warm spots of light on the floor.

Chen Nian slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the air in the entire dormitory seemed to freeze slightly.

Chen Nian habitually looked inward at his own body.

Immediately, an extremely powerful torrent of spiritual power instantly flooded his perception!

This power was pure, condensed, and boundless.

Compared to before he started to Cultivate yesterday, it had undergone a heaven-turning, earth-shattering qualitative change!

Besides this, he was also surprised to discover.

In his Dantian Qi Sea, that Natal Spiritual Core, bright as the sun.

Was now actually enveloped by a boundless, surging ocean of spiritual power!

Chen Nian was somewhat surprised.

With a slight movement of his mind, the light blue System panel instantly unfolded before his eyes.

【demon slaying and evil eradication system】

【host: Chen Nian】

【Realm: Spiritual River Realm (Rank 20)】

【Physique: Prison Suppressing Divine Body · Tier 7 (Rank 5)】

【points: 59】

Looking at the information on the panel, a flash of realization crossed Chen Nian's eyes.

Spiritual River Realm!

And, it had directly reached Rank 20 of the Spiritual River Realm!

A cultivator at this Realm is equivalent to a mobile, inexhaustible source of spiritual energy, like a vast river that flows ceaselessly and nourishes all things!

With every gesture, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi drawn will be ten or a hundred times greater than before! The power of the techniques unleashed will also undergo a qualitative leap!

"Spiritual River Realm Rank 20... Not bad." A faint curve appeared at the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.

Feeling the terrifying power roaring within his body, as if it could raise ten-thousand-foot waves with a single thought.

He felt very satisfied.

He had become stronger again.

The sense of fulfillment and satisfaction brought by this tangible increase in power was incomparable to any external object.

However, he could not stop there.

After all, the hidden powerhouses and crises in this world were far more profound than what he had currently seen.

That so-called "Gloomy Abyss" and "Abyss Master" were clearly just the tip of the iceberg.

He must continue to become stronger, strong enough to crush all known and unknown threats, strong enough to completely control everything!

Thinking this, he habitually reached for the personal terminal on his bedside table to check for any new intelligence or messages.

As a result, he searched it and found that the content was no different from before he Cultivated last night.

He couldn't be bothered to waste energy looking, and just as he was about to get up—

"Beep, beep, beep."

The terminal just happened to emit a slight vibration notification sound.

Chen Nian unlocked the screen; it was a message from Sun Li:

【Mr. Chen, good morning. Are you awake? If it is convenient, there are some matters I need to report to you.】

Chen Nian replied directly with one word: 【Mm.】

Immediately, he got up, washed up briefly, and walked straight toward Sun Li's office.

Pushing open the office door, Sun Li was already waiting inside.

Seeing Chen Nian, he immediately stood up, his face wearing a respectful expression.

"Mr. Chen, you are here."

"Mm, what is it?" Chen Nian sat down on the sofa casually and asked straight to the point.

Sun Li hurriedly said:

"First, regarding the 'Gloomy Abyss' you mentioned yesterday, I have already reported it to the Capital General Bureau."

"The General Bureau attaches great importance to this and held an emergency meeting overnight."

"The General Bureau has classified this incident as a 'World-Ending Level' potential threat and has initiated the highest-specification investigation procedure!"

"The General Bureau will use all means to fully investigate the 'Gloomy Abyss' and the information regarding related spatial coordinates."

"Once there are any definite clues, they will be reported to you at the first opportunity."

Chen Nian nodded, expressing satisfaction with this.

The efficiency and professionalism of the Spiritual Energy Bureau saved him a lot of trouble.

Then, he looked at Sun Li and asked the question he cared about most: "Then, are there any incidents that need me to handle right now?"

He felt he was in good condition and urgently needed some "live targets" to stretch his muscles and bones.

By the way, to test the strength of the Spiritual River Realm and obtain more points.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Sun Li's face, and he continued:

"Mr. Chen, this is exactly the second matter I need to report to you, and it is also the latest decision from the General Bureau."

"In view of your incomparable powerful strength and your achievements in turning the tide time and time again."

"The headquarters has decided after careful consideration to formally grant you the 'Highest Priority Handling Right for National Crisis Events'!"

"This means that in the future, regardless of which city in the Dragon Country encounters any level of supernatural disaster, Demonic Evils invasion, or other crisis events."

"The local branch, while requesting aid from the General Bureau, has the right, and is encouraged, to request aid directly from you, from our Donghai City branch!"

"The General Bureau hopes to use your power to quell disasters in various places with the highest efficiency and minimize losses."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Chen Nian's eyes.

He realized with some amusement that the General Bureau seemed to understand his "preferences" a little bit.

Not only did he not find it troublesome, but he actually held great enthusiasm for this kind of "cleaning up trash" activity.

Now, the Capital General Bureau had started to actively find things for him to do.

He was very satisfied with this.

After all, this meant more Demonic Evils, more points, and he could become stronger because of it!

This was exactly the virtuous cycle he wanted!

"Very good." Chen Nian affirmed this arrangement and immediately asked: "Then what about now? Is there anything that can be done?"

He was already somewhat impatient to kill something.

To welcome this beautiful day with a hearty battle.

Sun Li seemed to have been prepared, and immediately said:

"Mr. Chen, currently, Donghai City and the surrounding areas are very calm under your deterrence, and there are no emergency incidents that require you to handle them personally."

"However, according to folklore and monitoring data from past years, in 'Shanyin City', which is about eight hundred kilometers away from our Donghai City, today is the traditional day of the 'Night Parade of a Hundred Demons'."

"Shanyin City has a special geographical location and heavier Yin Qi. Every year at this time, a large number of wandering ghosts and low-level Demonic Evils are indeed attracted by something and appear collectively."

"According to past experience, as long as the local Spiritual Energy Bureau deploys defenses in advance and maintains order well."

"And does not let these Ghostly Creatures disturb ordinary people, they will generally dissipate on their own."

"They rarely cause major disasters; it counts as going through the motions."

"I wonder if you are interested in going to observe?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian immediately became interested, a flash of light like a hunter discovering prey crossing his eyes.

Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?

Large-scale collective appearance of demons, monsters, and ghosts?

What could be more suitable for him than this?

"Good, that's it." Chen Nian didn't even think about it and directly accepted this mission.

However, his expression at this moment was definitely not one of peaceful "maintaining order."

It was clearly the anticipation and cruelty of a fierce tiger about to be released from its cage, ready to start a massacre!

Watching the undisguised desire to hunt in Chen Nian's eyes, Sun Li had also gradually gotten used to it by now.

"Yes! I will immediately contact the Shanyin City branch and make all preliminary arrangements and support preparations for you!"

Chen Nian nodded, said no more, got up, and left the office.

He had already started to look forward to what kind of sumptuous feast of points it would be over in Shanyin City.
