Chapter 695: Chapter 310_3

He added, "If the effective distance is only a few hundred miles, then it’s a failure. If it’s a few thousand miles, it can only be barely considered useful. Only if it can cover the entire West Bull New Continent can it be considered a success. If it can also be effective in peculiar places like the underworld, it would be a great success! However, all these need to be tested to determine."

Chen Tang sighed and said, "This thing defies heaven, it will surely bring divine retribution. If exposed, the Thirteen Families, the Court, and the Outer Heaven True God will exert every effort to crush you. It’s best for a few to master it, select more people from among them, and through the secret key they hold, enter the mini heavenly cultivation. The qualification to enter the mini heavens for cultivation should be used as a reward for those with merit."

Chen Shi hadn’t been a government official for long, so he wasn’t clear about rewards and punishments.

Chen Tang said, "Give all the keys to me, and I’ll handle it."

Chen Shi then drew all the secret keys and handed them to Chen Tang. Chen Tang immediately went to Gaoshan County to discuss with Yu Tiancheng, Madam Sha, Qing Yang, and others, saying, "Anyone qualified to hold the keys must be from the Heavenly Court. Those who enter the Heavenly Court need rigorous inspection, examining their character, and whether they are spies from the Thirteen Families."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Tang was skilled at this; everyone was at ease with him managing the matter.

That day, after Chen Shi checked in at the Hanlin Academy’s registry, he planned to go home when he heard a voice, "Lord Chen, please stay."

Chen Shi turned around and saw a young man in a yellow shirt coming out from the Academic Palace next to the registry, likely an official of the Hanlin Academy, yet not wearing official attire. Puzzled, he asked, "Brother, why are you calling me?"

The young man in a yellow shirt smiled and said, "I am Zhuang Wujiu. You haven’t been to the Hanlin Academy these past few days, presumably in seclusion, so I didn’t disturb you. Now that you’ve come, I must meet you."

He stepped forward, looking Chen Shi up and down, surprised, "You’ve grown quite a bit taller than eleven years ago. Can one truly grow again after resurrection with a physical body?"

Chen Shi slightly frowned, "Have you met me before?"

The young man in the yellow shirt, Zhuang Wujiu, said, "I’ve had the fortune to meet you once. At that time, you were still alive. Young Scholar, I am puzzled. Without a Divine Embryo, how have you cultivated to your current realm, and how did you defeat the Young Master?"

He looked perplexed, saying, "I’ve never heard of someone surviving after having their Divine Embryo cut off, nor have I ever heard of a True God bestowing a Divine Embryo a second time. Could you invoke your Divine Embryo? I wish to see the secret of your comeback."

"No." Chen Shi decisively refused.

Zhuang Wujiu did not insist, smiling, "You have your secrets and refuse to reveal them lightly. I understand and won’t pressure you."

Chen Shi slightly bowed, "Farewell."

He walked out of the Hanlin Academy, feeling that this young man named Zhuang Wujiu was quite strange.

At that moment, a fleshy ear of a size as large as a washbasin suddenly grew on a nearby tree.

Chen Shi continued walking forward, only to see fleshy ears sprouting from the walls on either side of the Academic Palace, under the eaves, on the trees, on the ground, in the ponds, and on the doorways, varying in size, some tiny as sesame seeds, others vast, with those on the ground spanning over a dozen feet!

At this moment, he was walking within a giant ear cavity!

"Heaven Listeners!"

Chen Shi felt an itch on the back of his hand and was about to scratch it when he saw an ear growing there too!

He was alarmed, activating his Primordial Spirit Field, with Wind and Thunder, Water and Fire, and Mountain and Marsh Ghost God Domain enveloping him, using the Ghost God Domain to counter the Heaven Listeners’ Ghost God Domain, erasing the ear on the back of his hand!

The ear on the back of his hand had just withered when he saw a tall man enter the Hanlin Academy, passing by him, and walking straight to Zhuang Wujiu.

As the man’s foot landed, densely packed ears sprouted on the ground!

Chen Shi looked back, seeing the man arrive before Zhuang Wujiu, kneeling on one knee, bowing his head, "Venerable Lord Guang Xiao of the Heaven Listeners, paying respects to Your Excellency! All the information on Chen Shi’s division that you requested is here!"

Chen Shi’s heart trembled slightly, "He is the superior of the Heaven Listeners!"

The Heaven Listeners have a strict hierarchy, divided into Angel Envoy, Deacon, Venerable, Venerable King, Venerable Lord.

A Venerable Lord is already at the top, each Venerable Lord is an existence of the Mahayana Realm!
