Ghost Eye won nine out of ten battles, securing second place easily, while Little Celestial Injury Star won all ten battles and firmly held first place.

Chen Guan successfully secured a spot to enter the Nine Heavens, preparing to go there to capture the Celestial Cloud.

They only have one day, whether they catch the Celestial Cloud or not, at the time limit they must leave the Nine Heavens.

The Warring States side had already dealt with the Killing God White Tiger, bringing it to reunite in Wanxiang City.

Watching a dog and a tiger travel together, Chen Guan felt a bit strange.

Fortunately, Warring States now has a sufficiently mighty physique, which doesn’t lose out in size with Killing God White Tiger; in fact, it is even more robust.

However, in terms of fierce aura, Warring States is clearly inferior.

Seeing Chen Guan, the Killing God White Tiger shot him a cold glance with its tiger eyes, then turned away, seemingly very disdainful.

Chen Guan didn’t mind, as long as the Killing God White Tiger could help him catch and kill the Celestial Cloud, disdain or contempt didn’t matter to him.

The Celestial Gate leading to the Nine Heavens opened, and Ghost Eye dragged Chen Guan, White Tiger, and Warring States in together, passing through the portal and entering the Nine Heavens.

From the outside, the Nine Heavens is divided into nine layers, each of a different color, but once inside, looking from below, the colors of the Nine Heavens blend together without distinct boundaries.

No matter where you look, the sky is grayish, not as beautiful as it appears from the outside.

Just entering, they saw many white, gray, and black clouds drifting nearby.

Chen Guan remembered that Celestial Injury Star told him that distinguishing the quality and level of Celestial Clouds is not based on their color.

To know the level of a Celestial Cloud, you must look at its size.

Generally, a Seventh Awakening Celestial Cloud, when clumped, has a diameter roughly between one to two meters.

If it’s an Eighth Awakening cloud clump, the diameter varies between two to ten meters; this refers to the clumped state, while spread out it appears larger.

Ninth Awakening cloud clumps are much bigger, with ten meters as just the starting point; some powerful Ninth Awakening Clouds can cover several hundred or even thousands of miles.

Interestingly, bigger isn’t always better; Ninth Awakening Clouds, once surpassing a certain size, will slow down.

Top-speed Celestial Clouds usually have a body diameter not exceeding a hundred meters, with maximums around a thousand meters, larger sizes affecting speed.

Distinguishing the quality of Celestial Clouds is relatively harder; seeing from the outside to identify quality is often difficult, generally assessed by speed; within the same level, faster speed means higher quality.

However, Celestial Injury Star shared a tip with Chen Guan, saying although generally appearance isn’t useful, golden, red, and orange clouds are more likely high quality.

Black and gray tend to yield higher quality more easily too.

Quality probability is relatively lower for white clouds, usually not the top choice, relying more on luck.

Nonetheless, this isn’t the true method to discern quality; the more reliable way is to observe the usual shape of Celestial Clouds.

Celestial Clouds don’t have fixed shapes, continuously changing form.

Carefully observing Celestial Clouds, if they appear without form, resembling a typical cloud shape, their quality generally isn’t high. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

If shapes resemble mountains, rivers, etc., it might indicate higher quality, though it also could not be high quality.

But if you see a biological shape, the quality is usually not too low.

To find Secret God Quality Celestial Clouds, one should aim to locate biologically-formed clouds, especially in red, gold, orange, gray, black colors for higher likelihood.

Of course, these are probabilities, with chances for Secret God Qualities not high.

Upon finding it, confirming through speed assessment is also necessary.

Time is limited, so Chen Guan ignored common clouds, letting Ghost Eye fly quickly within the Nine Heavens to search for biologically-shaped clouds.

Perhaps due to good luck today, after only ten minutes, Chen Guan spotted a golden-horse-shaped cloud floating in the sky.

"Let’s try this one." Chen Guan directed Ghost Eye to attack, unleashing a dragon aura.

The dragon aura crossed the gray sky, rushing towards the golden steed-like cloud.

Sensing danger, the cloud immediately vibrated its body, quickly fleeing like a meteor; seemingly not intending to fight Ghost Eye, it was unclear whether due to lower level or Celestial Clouds rarely engaging Secret Spirits.

Seeing the cloud escape, Chen Guan noticed its appearance couldn’t maintain its steed form while fleeing, promptly striking it off his list.

Celestial Injury Star advised that true high-quality clouds should retain their biological shape even during fast movement.

Ghost Eye flew Chen Guan and the others within the Nine Heavens, appearing vast from outside, but realizing its interior seemed even larger.

At Ghost Eye’s speed, flying within the Nine Heavens felt borderless.

Encountering a few biologically-shaped clouds midway, none were ideal, either due to low level or not meeting Chen Guan’s quality expectations.

With over two hours passed, not a single decent cloud found, Chen Guan frowned.

Having prepared extensively, even employing Warring States’ "Beautiful Dog Plan," not finding a worthy cloud felt pointless.

While contemplating, Chen Guan suddenly noticed a cloud wobbling down in the distant sky, heading directly towards them.

Yet Chen Guan showed no interest in the incoming cloud.

It was a gray cloud, though gray could yield high quality, this cloud’s diameter was merely around one meter, barely enough space for someone to sit on.

Adding more would make it crowded, indicating a Seventh Awakening level.

Moreover, its shape was a plain cloud form, lacking special shapes, appearing far too ordinary.

The gray Celestial Cloud was like a drunk, wobbling as it approached Chen Guan.

Chen Guan instructed Ghost Eye to ignore it, speeding up towards the distance.

As Ghost Eye passed by the gray cloud, its powerful airflow tossed the cloud into a spin.

Typically, high-speed Secret Spirits encountered this issue, Celestial Clouds themselves did not.

Due to the Celestial Clouds’ inherent abilities, along with Secret Laws and Secret Realm halos, their speed-related features allow them to fly with minimal wind pressure, only slightly disturbing airflow, unlike other Secret Spirits.

Chen Guan paid little regard, directing Ghost Eye to fly at full speed to find targets; else he’d soon tire of consuming "dog food."

Behind him, Warring States and Killing God White Tiger engaged in affectionate exchanges, licking each other’s fur, tempting Chen Guan to want to punch the dog.

Suppressing the impulse, as Chen Guan scanned the surroundings, he suddenly saw the gray Celestial Cloud following, wobbling along behind them.
