Chen Guan followed Celestial Injury Star to his home and drank the Celestial Jade Liquid he had only heard of by name.

That small cup of Celestial Jade Liquid made Chen Guan feel as if he was soaking in a bath of Primordial Energy, his whole being was about to float away.

"Good stuff!" Chen Guan couldn’t help but praise. This cup of Celestial Jade Liquid, if consumed before he reached Level 60, could directly raise him by one level.

Unfortunately, the Primordial Energy required for Chen Guan’s upgrade now is astronomical; this cup of Celestial Jade Liquid is merely a drop in the bucket.

Celestial Injury Star watched as Chen Guan downed a full cup of Celestial Jade Liquid without any issue, feeling somewhat surprised.

The Primordial Energy in Celestial Jade Liquid is extremely concentrated, and typically even a Ninth Awakening cultivator needs to drink and refine it slowly, little by little. If a whole cup is consumed at once, the Primordial Energy quickly dissipates within the body, possibly causing harm, or even drunkenness due to the Primordial Energy.

The concentrated Primordial Energy blends with the energy within the body, rapidly increasing the concentration and purity of the energy inside, severely reducing control over the body as if intoxicated.

The Ninth Awakening cultivator experiences this, but for a Seventh Awakening Secret Spirit, it needs to be digested slowly, or the drunken Primordial Energy effect would be more severe.

Celestial Injury Star had already warned Chen Guan earlier, yet he still drank it all at once, without showing any signs of drunken Primordial Energy, making Celestial Injury Star regard him more highly.

"I heard that someone from Wuxiang Divine Palace turned out to be an Earthly Genius, but wasn’t able to become the Heavenly Master’s direct disciple; that must be you, right?" Celestial Injury Star said. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"That’s correct. My surname is Chen and my name is Guan. Just call me by my name," Chen Guan replied.

"There’s been talk that although you possess Earthly Talent, your capabilities are lacking, which is why you were turned away by the Heavenly Master. Having seen you today, I know those are all nonsense; your talent and ability are both top-tier. Why then were you rejected by the Heavenly Master?" Celestial Injury Star asked.

"We have a connection, so since you ask, I’ll tell you. But once we leave this door, if you bring up this matter again, I absolutely will not acknowledge a single word," Chen Guan said with a smile. "I don’t intend to stay long at Wuxiang Divine Palace; I’ll be gone sooner or later."

"You refused to become the Heavenly Master’s direct disciple?" Celestial Injury Star was greatly shocked.

In these parts, hardly any Secret Spirit can resist the allure of becoming the Heavenly Master’s direct disciple.

This human before him claims he refused the Heavenly Master, which was rather shocking.

"I didn’t exactly say that. If anyone asks in the future, that’s still my response," Chen Guan said.

Celestial Injury Star laughed upon hearing this: "You’re right; you didn’t say it, and I haven’t heard it, but I believe what you say. Come, have another cup of Celestial Jade Liquid."

Chen Guan drank a total of three cups of Celestial Jade Liquid from Celestial Injury Star, not because he didn’t want to drink more, but because Celestial Injury Star didn’t have any more left.

If an ordinary Seventh Awakening Secret Spirit or human cultivator drank three cups of this stuff, they’d rise by at least three levels, and some Secret Spirits might even ascend from Level 60 straight to Level 70.

But despite having drunk three cups, Chen Guan didn’t rise even by one level, which could be considered a waste.

However, this friendship, Chen Guan remembered, and whenever he wanted to obtain an Immortal Soldier pet in the future, he would avoid going through Celestial Injury Star and his father.

Catching this opportunity, Chen Guan asked about the Nine Heavens Celestial Cloud.

Celestial Injury Star didn’t hold back and shared information about Nine Heavens and Celestial Cloud with Chen Guan.

Celestial Cloud is a mysterious and unusual Secret Spirit, generally unkillable by ordinary attacks, the best they can do is disperse them.

Even using Extreme Yang fire abilities to vaporize them can’t kill them; they quickly reform again.

The most direct method to kill Celestial Cloud is to absorb them directly into the body or some Secret Treasure and refine and consume them.

Otherwise, killing them is very difficult.

But absorbing them into the body for refining isn’t easy because Celestial Cloud, at minimum, is a Ninth Awakening eighty-plus level Secret Spirit, whose quality ranges from rare to unparalleled, even Secret God Quality, but regardless of quality, their speed is extremely fast.

The higher the quality of a Celestial Cloud, the faster it is.

Aside from some top-speed type Secret Spirits, few can catch up to them.

Celestial Injury Star’s speed is already fast, but compared to Celestial Cloud, especially those of top-tier quality, he cannot catch up.

Hearing this, Chen Guan began to strategize on how to hunt Celestial Cloud.

Godly powers likely can’t kill Celestial Cloud; Creation World is perfect against Celestial Cloud, but the prerequisite is Chen Guan needs to catch up to Celestial Cloud.

If it’s just ordinary quality Celestial Cloud, Chen Guan might have hope of catching up.

But if seeking high-quality Celestial Cloud, Chen Guan’s current speed might struggle to keep up.

Besides Chen Guan’s Creation World, Yan Zhi’s ability should also counter Celestial Cloud, but Yan Zhi’s level is somewhat lower; it’s uncertain if it can restrain Celestial Cloud.

Naturally, Secret Spirits generally only need to tame Celestial Cloud, there’s no need to kill them, while Chen Guan needs to kill Celestial Cloud to make it a pet, making these two cases of different difficulties.

For other Secret Spirits, taming is much harder than killing, but because Celestial Cloud’s nature is special, killing it is harder than taming.

Chen Guan mulled over this, yet couldn’t figure out a way to kill top-tier Celestial Cloud to obtain a Celestial Cloud pet.

Chen Guan wants a pet, naturally top-tier, otherwise, why bother going through the hassle, he might as well ride his little white dragon.

"If you want to kill high-quality Celestial Cloud, it’s actually not entirely hopeless. In Wanxiang City, there’s a Secret Spirit that’s perfect against Celestial Cloud, and you know this Secret Spirit too," Celestial Injury Star suddenly said with a smile.

Seeing his expression, Chen Guan knew this Secret Spirit might have some issues. His heart moved, and he said bitterly, "You wouldn’t be talking about Killing God White Tiger, would you?"

"Haha, that’s the one. Its speed reaches the pinnacle among Ninth Awakening, you’d need it to catch up to Secret God level Celestial Cloud," Celestial Injury Star said.

Chen Guan shook his head helplessly; during the day, he had already offended Killing God White Tiger. Asking for its help now wouldn’t likely lead to a friendly response; how could it help him?

However, Chen Guan wasn’t one to give up easily. With plenty of time ahead, he just needed to win over White Tiger before obtaining the opportunity to enter Nine Heavens from Ghost Eye.

To overturn the situation didn’t mean to kill White Tiger. Not only might he be unable to do so; even if he could, in a place like Wanxiang City, he wouldn’t dare to kill.

Chen Guan inquired more about Killing God White Tiger from Celestial Injury Star and gradually formed a plan in his mind.
