Chapter 508: Ascension Record

Late at night, the northwest wind was howling, and the power of the spring cold made people have to put back on the cotton-padded jackets they had just taken off.

Chen Guanlou was sitting in the courtyard naked, holding a big knife, and steam was rising from his body.

Just now, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally had movement. His cultivation broke through from the peak of the fourth chapter of the "Ascension Record" to the fifth chapter with a bit of danger.

Too many things had happened recently, his mind was restless, and he almost went astray when practicing tonight. Fortunately, he had laid a solid foundation, and at the critical moment, his mind became one, and he broke through smoothly.

At this moment, his soul seemed to be out of his body, and he was in a mysterious and very wonderful feeling. Feeling the flow of air, the speed of the wind, every breath, the beating of the heart, the flow of blood... the exhaled air slowly dissipated in the night sky.

Time seemed to slow down, and the tearing wind slid across his body so gently. A leaf, floating, seemed to stop in mid-air...

Everything seemed so slow, time seemed to slow down several times.

A knock came from the night watchman outside, he took a deep breath, and time returned to normal speed.

He stretched out his palm and grasped it lightly, as if grasping a ball of air, letting him create it wantonly.

There was a feeling of being omnipotent, or an illusion!

Powerful!

Power!

Completely different from before.

For power, he seemed to be self-taught, truly grasped in his palm. The knife was no longer suitable for him. He didn't need the shackles of weapons; he himself was a weapon, he was heaven, he was earth, he was everything.

He stepped on the cold slate and soared into the sky, overlooking the whole city from mid-air.

"Which fellow Daoist is actually being presumptuous over the capital!"

Chen Guanlou shook his head lightly, directly changed into a face, and put on a vest.

The voice seemed to come from all directions, looking at the surroundings still dead, people were still sleeping, obviously this inquiry only entered his ears.

He went toward the northeast direction very surely. The inquiry didn't disturb him, but helped him find the direction.

He landed on an isolated building.

Looking around, this was actually the Imperial Observatory.

To be precise, it was the Star Observatory of the Imperial Observatory.

He had never been here before.

"Fellow Daoist has a good interest. Visiting late at night, I don't know what for?"

"A guest visits, doesn't the host come out to greet?" Chen Guanlou transformed into a middle-aged man, his voice dark and rough, sounding like someone running in the rivers and lakes. Definitely not a martial arts expert raised by a powerful family.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation has improved, which is gratifying. You are happy by yourself, why show off? Disturbing others' rest, doesn't Fellow Daoist have any mistakes?"

"I didn't know I disturbed others' rest, and I hope the senior will forgive me. I am a person who has no knowledge, why doesn't the senior show up? The long night is long, and there is no heart to sleep, having a heart-to-heart talk is a happy event in life."

"Go back! Go to sleep when it's time to sleep, don't come out anymore."

With these words, a hurricane accurately and directly killed Chen Guanlou.

He dodged, while provoking: "Why doesn't the senior want to see me? Is it shameful to see people?"

"Yellow-mouthed child, don't know the height of heaven and earth. Go."

A huge force, not knowing where it came from, like Mount Tai pressing down, directly pressed toward Chen Guanlou. Chen Guanlou couldn't dodge, was pushed back by the huge force, kept retreating, kept retreating.

He was like the Monkey King trapped in the Five Elements Mountain and unable to escape, suddenly discovering how small he was.

The senior of the Star Observatory was definitely a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster comparable to the Old Ancestor, or even more terrifying than the Old Ancestor.

It turns out this is a Grandmaster!

No!

This is not a Grandmaster!

This is a Great Grandmaster above the Grandmaster!

Besides the Old Ancestor, there was actually a second Great Grandmaster in the capital!

How terrifying!

He laughed out loud!

Not a wasted trip!

Nothing is more exciting than meeting a Great Grandmaster. Bullying the weak is nothing; challenging beyond one's level is meaningful. Pursue the endless martial path.

When he just broke through the fifth chapter of the "Ascension Record", the illusion of controlling everything, as if losing the goal of self-expansion. At this moment, reason returned, and he wanted to pursue more powerful power. Longevity fruit, endless.

Two days later.

Chen Guanlou came to the gambling house to meet the Old Steward.

He was prepared to spend money to buy news from the Old Steward here.

He was not a professional investigator, and could only take a sword and go sideways, hoping for surprises.

When the Old Steward saw him, there was a moment of unnaturalness.

"Prison Clerk Chen, you are a noble person, this small temple of mine can't accommodate you!"

"Old gentleman is joking. I spend money to buy news, you do the business of selling news, can you receive others and not receive me." Chen Guanlou sat down in front of the table, with a gentle smile on his face, speaking slowly, like a scholar.

"The person you want to investigate, I am really powerless." The Old Steward looked very helpless.

"Old gentleman didn't even ask a word, and said powerless. Treating guests like this, do you still want to do business?"

Chen Guanlou played with the Buddhist beads on the table, counting them one by one.

"You want to investigate the whereabouts of Grand Tutor Zhuang, where can I find him. Grand Tutor Zhuang's matter has passed for several years, people should be gone."

"If alive, see the person; if dead, see the corpse." His face was too serious, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment. Immediately after, he revealed a smile, "Old gentleman forgive me, I am not making things difficult for you. I am also acting on orders. You also know that I am a prison guard, and Grand Tutor Zhuang was kidnapped in the Heavenly Prison back then, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Now, above ordered the Heavenly Prison to give an explanation, what do you want me to do? I can only hang my head on my pants belt and try my best to find it. I ask the old gentleman to help me."

He smiled, looking very easy to talk to.

The Old Steward had bitterness that couldn't be spoken, "Prison Clerk Chen, you shouldn't ask me, you should ask the Hou Fu. Regarding court-level matters, the Hou Fu's news must be more informed than mine. Mine is just slightly informed about the news of the three religions and nine streams."

"You are humble! Old gentleman came out of the palace, when it comes to news in the palace, the Hou Fu has to bow down. I heard a saying that when Grand Tutor Zhuang disappeared, a person like you appeared, and it is expected that he also wanted to come out of the palace."

"Prison Clerk Chen, where did you get this news? Since you can get first-hand news, why ask me." The Old Steward looked dissatisfied.

Chen Guanlou smiled softly, "That is the imperial palace. Things in the palace, if I don't ask you, who can I ask? Grand Tutor Zhuang, you should let him be buried in the earth, let the Zhuang family end this matter, it is considered accumulating virtue and doing good."

"But I..."

"One thousand taels, just buy a piece of news, give a general direction." Chen Guanlou interrupted the other party's words decisively.

The Old Steward's mouth twitched twice, and the two beautiful maids beside him couldn't make him relax at all.

"One thousand five hundred taels, any more is greedy." Chen Guanlou increased the weight again and gave the other party a warning.

The Old Steward closed his eyes, pretending to sleep, but his mouth opened, "You go toward the east, perhaps there will be a harvest."

"Many thanks!" ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
