Devouring demons, I attain immortality.

The supervisor smiled slightly and said, "This is young friend Lin An. He made great contributions in the battle of Jinzhou City. From today onwards, he will join the Demon Suppression Division and search for the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell with us."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded, saying, "I see. Young friend Lin An, welcome to the Demon Suppression Division."

Lin An cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lin An greets all seniors."

The supervisor waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down, then said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, although we have temporarily repelled this demonic invasion, their threat has not been eliminated. According to our intelligence, the extraterrestrial demons are searching for the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell. If they obtain the Chaos Bell, the consequences will be unimaginable."

A black-robed cultivator frowned and said, "Grand Preceptor, the Chaos Bell is an ancient divine artifact, lost for many years. How can we find its whereabouts?"

The supervisor nodded and said, "This is precisely the focus of our discussion. According to ancient records, the Chaos Bell last appeared in the 'Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm.' Perhaps we can start from there."

"The Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm?" Lin An's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He had once read about the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm in an ancient book. It was said to be an ancient ruin, containing countless treasures and opportunities, but also full of dangers.

The supervisor looked at Lin An and asked, "Young friend Lin An, how much do you know about the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm?"

Lin An pondered for a moment and said, "I have read some records about the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm in ancient books. It is said to be an ancient ruin, containing countless treasures and opportunities, but it is also full of dangers. Nine out of ten people who enter the secret realm do not come out alive."

The supervisor nodded and said, "Indeed, the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm is fraught with danger. But in order to find the Chaos Bell, we must take the risk."

Another black-robed cultivator frowned and said, "Grand Preceptor, the entrance to the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm has been lost for many years. How can we enter?"

The supervisor smiled slightly and said, "I already have a plan for this. According to ancient records, the entrance to the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. And there is less than a month left until the next opening."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

The supervisor continued, "This mission into the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm will be led by young friend Lin An. You few are responsible for assisting him and must find the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell."

Upon hearing this, Lin An was startled and quickly said, "Grand Preceptor, my strength is too weak to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

The supervisor waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry. Although this mission is dangerous, I will prepare some life-saving measures for you. In addition, the special power within you may play an unexpected role in the secret realm."

Seeing that the supervisor trusted him so much, Lin An said calmly, "Rest assured, Grand Preceptor, I will do my utmost to complete the mission."

The supervisor nodded in satisfaction, then said to everyone, "Gentlemen, this mission is of great importance, so please proceed with extreme caution. If you discover anything, please report back immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Young friend Lin An, you don't need to worry. We will make meticulous arrangements to ensure your safety during this mission."

The supervisor's gaze was calm and composed, indicating that he was confident and prepared. Behind him were many cultivators from the Demon Suppression Division.

Lin An nodded silently, but felt a surge of anger in his heart. He hadn't expected that this trip to Jinzhou City would actually be connected with the Demon Suppression Division. If the old scoundrel in the Division got used to him, wouldn't he use him every day?

Several black-robed cultivators dispersed, preparing to begin planning the operation.

The supervisor looked at Lin An and said patiently, "Young friend Lin An, if you can bring back clues about the Chaos Bell from the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm, then our Demon Suppression Division will be eternally grateful to you."

Lin An curled his lip, thinking to himself, "Do I need your gratitude? As long as you give me something in return, I don't need your gratitude!"

"Lord Supervisor, I can help you, but there's something I also hope you can help me with..." Lin An said with a mischievous grin.

"What is it? Young friend Lin, please speak freely! As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse!" the supervisor assured him.

"I won't lie to you, my purpose in coming to Jinzhou this time was the rare treasure, the Heavenly Evolution Pearl. However, I didn't expect to encounter this extraterrestrial demon incident. Now that the cultivators' gathering can't be held, could you just give me the Heavenly Evolution Pearl?"

"Consider this a reward for my contributions to Jinzhou City and the Daqian Demon Suppression Division?" Lin An said with a mischievous grin.

The supervisor smiled kindly and said, "Young friend Lin, you're really something. You're offering to exchange the Heavenly Evolution Pearl, a rare treasure of Jinzhou, for clues to other treasures? That's quite a ridiculous suggestion. However, this matter is of great importance, and I still need to discuss it with the Emperor and several ministers."

Lin An shrugged and said, "Then help me ask if your Demon Suppression Division has a department responsible for delivering gifts. If not, I don't mind going there to pick them up myself."

The black-robed cultivators exchanged glances, and seeing Lin An's expression, they couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

One of the black-robed cultivators chuckled, "Young friend, the Heavenly Evolution Pearl is the most precious treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty; it cannot be given away casually. However, if you can find the Chaos Bell in the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm, hehe, our Demon Suppression Division will reward you handsomely."

Lin An chuckled and said, "That depends on my luck, and also on your help. By the way, does your Demon Suppression Division offer any special rewards for those who are reasonable?"

The supervisor became serious and said, "If young friend Lin can successfully find the Chaos Bell, there will naturally be a special reward, but ensuring safety is the top priority. If you return safely, your merits will be evaluated and rewarded accordingly."

Lin An gave a perfunctory reply, then said, "I wanted to ask if you have any unique skills or divine weapons that you could share when you enter the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm this time. After all, safety comes first; if something goes wrong, none of us will survive."

A black-robed cultivator chuckled, "Young friend, you're too forgetful. Our Demon Suppression Division specializes in this kind of thing. How could we not prepare some safety measures for you? Now, I'll give you a little test to see if you meet the requirements for being brought in."

Immediately, the black-robed cultivator took out a piece of armor that emitted a faint spiritual aura from his personal magical artifact and handed it to Lin An.

Lin An took the armor and immediately felt a powerful defensive force surrounding him. He asked, "Tell me, what level is this armor?"

The black-robed cultivator chuckled, "This is the 'Mysterious Peace Armor' personally developed by our Demon Suppression Division's Grand Array Master. It's a high-grade Earth-rank armor, the most top-tier armor on the market in the Great Qian Dynasty. Wearing it, you won't be afraid even in the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm!"

"How about you give me this first? We can talk about the Heavenly Evolution Pearl after we finish the mission. What do you think?"
