Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 510

Chapter 510: Chapter 483: Promoted Again (Please Subscribe) Chapter 510: Chapter 483: Promoted Again (Please Subscribe) The Divine Decree brought by the Divine Palace Priest was unexpectedly an order to promote Lin Rui and bestow a nobility on him.

Lin Rui’s current official position is still the Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau, but his ‘official rank’—or ‘military rank’—was raised by two levels, promoting him to a Standard Fourth Rank General of Unhindered Passage.

In addition, Divine above also conferred upon him the divine office of Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace.

The position of Great Chief Priest in the Divine Palace is equivalent to a Fourth Rank official in the court, but this identity is much more prestigious.

Although it lacks real power, it holds more symbolic significance, and people within the Imperial City Department wish for such an office, but cannot obtain it.

It appears that both the Emperor and the three Great Divine Envoys are also conferred with divine offices in the Divine Palace.

...

The Emperor is the Super Celestial Master of the Divine Palace, and the three Great Divine Envoys are First-rank Lesser Celestial Masters of the Divine Palace.

Below them, there are the Second Rank Red Priest and Third-rank Capital Chief Priest, similar to the divine office system of the Bright Holy Sect.

The divine office setting of the Bright Holy Sect is actually copied from several members of the Abyss Divine Palace.

Lin Rui being conferred the office of Great Chief Priest almost clearly indicates his status in the leadership echelon of the Great Song.

Like the twelve candidate Divine Envoys of Great Song, the ones currently lower in ranking are also Fourth-rank Great Chief Priests like him.

After hearing the decree, Lin Rui thought that his household threshold needed to be well-maintained again, as this Divine Decree would mean his threshold would be frequently visited by officials and scholars of Great Song.

Yet, he felt puzzled and did not understand why the East Abyss had bestowed such an honor on him again?

Also, what was the situation in the Divine Arrival Palace after he fell unconscious?

Lin Rui had already tried to contact Luo Wangshu but couldn’t get through.

Lin Rui gave the Divine Palace Priest, who delivered the decree, 50 gold bills with a denomination of one hundred taels, and only then did he learn the details from him.

It must be mentioned that this person’s divine office is also ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’.

He was very satisfied with Lin Rui’s understanding and generous enthusiasm, speaking in a very close and warm tone, “Divine above has already issued a gag order that not a word is to be leaked outside, but since Mr.

Lin, you are the person involved in the change at the Divine Arrival Palace and also the Commander of the Spy Detection Bureau, and you are still to take on the responsibility of pursuing the fragments of the Divine Tablet and dealing with the Bright Holy Sect, you indeed have the right to know, so it’s okay for me to say a few more words.

Mr.

Lin, you probably don’t know that after you were unconscious, out of the four fragments of the Divine Tablet in the Divine Arrival Palace, three were taken away by Elder Wan Xin—”

Lin Rui’s spirits were shaken, thinking that only three fragments were lost?

Then all three fragments are in his possession.

This ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ continued, “At the time Elder Wan Xin retreated, Divine above had already awakened, and from three thousand miles away, he executed Elder Wan Xin on the spot, yet these three fragments of the Divine Tablet disappeared without a trace.”

Lin Rui’s pupils slightly dilated, his eyes revealing a hint of exceptional gleam.

Elder Wan Xin had actually died?

Indeed, what kind of mighty power is Abyss, only when Divine during his Divine Sleep could Li Xianglong and his group of Outer Heaven Demons of Super Monarch level dare to run amok near Luojing.

However, Elder Wan Xin should be the only one who knew the whereabouts of these three fragments of the Divine Tablet.

Thinking of this, Lin Rui suppressed those inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

He thought that if one wants to go far, one must eliminate the heart of greed, and must not covet things that one shouldn’t.

Moreover, his master’s honor is now tied to him—

The ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ was completely unaware of Lin Rui’s unusual expression, continuing passionately, “After Divine chased and killed the Demon Sect’s King Ming and returned, upon hearing this incident, he immediately flew into a rage, summoned seventy-three individuals above the Ninth Realm within Luojing City, and in front of Divine Sky Hall, publicly lashed the Emperor and the First Divine Envoy three times!

Furthermore, the Eleventh Candidate Divine Envoy Situ Rong and the Twelfth Candidate Divine Envoy Situ Xiu were also severely punished with thirty lashes each, stripped of all divine offices, and sent to the Sin Army of Sky Pond, serving as the chief and deputy leaders!”

Lin Rui was startled, “The Emperor and the First Divine Envoy were publicly whipped?

Why?”

His mind sank slightly, even the Emperor and the First Divine Envoy were punished by the divine powers, Situ Rong and Situ Xiu suffered even heavier punishment, so what would the situation be for his master, who was directly responsible for this incident?

“Why?

Naturally, it’s because these two were sly and cunning, insincere in their duties, and did not exert their full effort in the battle against the Demon Sect’s King Ming!”

The ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ sneered, his words carrying an unfinished implication, “Divine above rewards and punishes based on deeds and intentions.

How could Divine not see through Emperor Song and the First Divine Envoy’s intentions?”

The Divine Above has been quite lenient with your master, the Divine Envoy Luo.

Although Luo lost three pieces of the Divine Tablet, throughout the incident, Luo spared no effort.

Therefore, despite the Divine Above imposing a punishment of twenty lashes and a day of facing the wall in the Divine Palace, those twenty lashes can be temporarily noted.

If Luo can retrieve the Divine Tablet within half a year, the whipping will be exempted.”

Lin Rui’s mind relaxed, thinking no wonder contact could not be established.

But facing the wall for just one day is rather light, compared to others, the East Abyss indeed saved face for his master.

However, it’s bad luck for Vice Divine Envoys Shentu Rong and Situ Xiu.

By the time he hands over the Divine Tablet, he should be able to exempt those two from punishment, yet those thirty lashes were endured in vain.

First, he must transport those fragments of the Divine Tablet back and keep Fei Yunlai and the others from getting involved, which is slightly troublesome.

“There’s also you, Lord Lin.”

This ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ smiled and said: “At that time Lord risked his life to alert, waking Shentu Rong and others, showing your sincere and righteous conduct, commendable courage!

And if it weren’t for your shout, which delayed Elder Wan Xin for a moment and promptly sent a thirty-thousand-mile Flying Book to Divine Envoy Luo, allowing Luo to rush back for the rescue, this scoundrel would have succeeded in fleeing, bringing Great Song to utter shame.”

Lin Rui’s expression relaxed further, thinking so that’s the case, it seems he was made a typical example by the East Abyss.

This East Abyss truly has clear rewards and punishments, and well understands the way to govern subordinates.

He then recalled what the ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ had just said, the Divine Above thinks the Son of Heaven and First Divine Envoy are cunning and sly, dishonest in their duties, and did not exert their full strength while fighting the Demon Sect’s King Ming.

That means, in the eyes of the East Abyss, the Son of Heaven and the First Divine Envoy, whose cultivation are only at the Super Monarch of the Ninth Realm, fundamentally have the ability to suppress the Demon Sect’s King Ming who possesses the Supreme Divine Artifact ‘Holy Fire Tribulation Thunder’?

The so-called cunning and sly, implies that they deliberately hid their strength, ‘cunning’ and ‘sly’ may refer to them intentionally watching the outcome between the master and Divine Palace, or it might carry other meanings.

The Divine Above truly has discerning eyes, not tolerating any faults.

“However, the responsibility to retrieve the fragments of the Abyss Divine Tablet still falls on you and the Spy Detection Bureau.

The Divine Above has already instructed the Divine Envoy to grant you full authority to investigate the Divine Tablet fragments and matters related to the Demon Sect.

It won’t be long before the Divine Envoy issues the decree.”

At this moment, the ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ looked around and whispered into Lin Rui’s ear: “Let me give you some early information; after the return of the Divine Above, he had the Great Celestial Master of the Divine Palace trace back to the scene of the incident at the Divine Palace and observe the star formation, divining the whereabouts of the Divine Tablet fragments.

I happened to be present.”

Lin Rui knew that this Great Celestial Master of the Divine Palace was truly the supreme head of the Divine Palace, not only commanding the Divine Palace in the clouds but also the top stargazer of this era.

He didn’t originally care much, as the fragments of the Divine Tablet were already in his possession, and Lin Rui had no intention to conceal them.

For those at the peak of the Ninth Realm, seeking Longevity and the power of the Abyss, this item might be a treasure, but for him, it was somewhat a hot potato.

He then heard the ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ say: “The Great Celestial Master exerted a great deal of effort, reportedly even consuming some of her lifespan, yet still failed.

She said that the Divine Tablet was accompanied by the power of the Abyss, its timeline suppressed, with an unclear fate, preventing her from tracing back to the scene of the incident at the Divine Palace or determining the exact location of the Divine Tablet.

She could only infer that the three fragments were still within the borders of Great Song, not exceeding ten thousand miles around Luojing.

Lord Lin, after you receive the decree from the Divine Envoy, you can base your investigations on this divination to find out the truth.”

Lin Rui’s face subtly changed, his brows furrowing.

Since the Divine Tablet fragments are tied to the fate of the Abyss, should the fragments still be handed over?

If he hands them in now, wouldn’t it confirm his involvement with the Abyss?

“By the way!” the ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ recalled another matter: “Your Heavenly Demon Armor has been taken by the Great Celestial Master of the Divine Palace.

Upon inspection, the Heavenly Demon Technology within that set of armor can actually defend against Elder Wan Xin’s Illusion Poison, which must be why you were able to stay conscious at that time, and soon, the Divine Palace will offer you compensation.”

Lin Rui frowned again; this set of Heavenly Demon Armor was quite significant to him, heavily relied upon.

After all, although Lin Rui was nearing complete Dragon Transformation, it would still take one to two months.

What if a powerful opponent appears during this time?

However, it was the Great Celestial Master of the Divine Palace who took this item, a being of the same rank as the Son of Heaven.

He could do nothing but look forward to the so-called ‘compensation’ from the Divine Palace.

Lin Rui then suppressed all miscellaneous thoughts and warmly escorted the ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace’ out the door.

They even exchanged contact information; they could now contact each other using official seals and thirty-thousand-mile Flying Books.

Lin Rui also learned the name of this ‘Great Chief Priest of the Divine Palace.’ This individual was named Han Yuanba and was actually one of the few direct disciples of the Great Celestial Master.

At the same time, Lin Rui generously handed him a whopping five-thousand taels in banknotes!
