Chen Guan can be sure that some power restricted Chief Judge Qi, preventing him from killing him, and only destroying his soul.

But no matter how much he thought about it, Chen Guan couldn’t figure out what had restricted Chief Judge Qi.

Coming from a background like Chen Guan’s, there’s certainly no hope from his family. Although he has some well-connected friends, at their current level of authority, they likely couldn’t afford a Celestial King to step in and intimidate Chief Judge Qi.

Moreover, Chief Judge Qi’s actions this time may have been completely unknown to others.

"Who could it be?" Chen Guan vaguely thought of something, but couldn’t recall what it was.

It’s no wonder Chen Guan couldn’t remember, Ji Beizhu sacrificed his lives across eternity to open cracks between the Secret Realm and Divine Land, erasing his presence from the world almost completely.

Except for those deeply connected to Ji Beizhu and possessing immense divine powers, who preserved some imprinted links to him, everyone else has forgotten Ji Beizhu’s existence.

Chen Guan had virtually no direct interactions with Ji Beizhu and lacked the ability to preserve linked imprints, so he had no memory of such a person.

Not to mention him; even Ji Nanhong couldn’t remember Ji Beizhu.

If Chen Guan could remember Ji Beizhu, he might have been able to guess something.

Still, knowing someone intervened, regardless of who it is, Chen Guan understood that he was temporarily safe.

"The immediate priority now is to level up, and complete the Eight Awakening," Chen Guan contemplated how he could achieve the Eight Awakening.

He placed his frequently used pets into Yellow Mud Island, allowing them to absorb the pure World Power inside the island to level up.

Compared to Chen Guan, his pets require much less Primordial Energy to level up; the leftover energy from Chen Guan alone was enough for many pets to reach level 70.

And the compatibility of attributes with the World Power transformed through Creation World is extremely strong.

For example, the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, which requires metal elements and blood to upgrade, can use World Power to advance its level.

The Ten Thousand Poison Insect Emperor, which needs toxins to upgrade, can also use World Power to level up.

The pure World Power transformed by Creation World is essentially the most fundamental energy that can convert into any type of Primordial Energy.

If it were not so, World Power couldn’t be used to recover the power of the Secret Collection.

The Evil Spirit Blood Sword quickly completed the Seven Awakening, awakening the secret law "Wicked Ways."

Under this secret law, the attacks of the Evil Spirit Blood Sword are almost guaranteed hits.

No matter where the Evil Spirit Blood Sword is pointed, even if its trajectory deviates by miles, it can still hit the target.

With its inherent attributes and the Wicked Ways secret law, it’s practically a divine artifact for defeating novices, an unparalleled treasure.

However, this Wicked Ways has one flaw: you can stab anywhere, but you can’t stab directly; if aimed directly at the target, it actually becomes hard to hit.

After the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, Warring States also finally achieved the Seven Awakening.

A guard dog reaching the Seven Awakening is already quite rare.

Warring States awakened the secret law "Death Battle" during the Seven Awakening, which Chen Guan initially thought was a secret law of burning one’s life to fight.

But after seeing the information on Death Battle, he was overjoyed.

Death Battle does enhance power, but enhancing battle power isn’t its main function.

The main effect of Death Battle is to make Warring States equivalent to possessing an Undying Body.

Chen Guan felt the full name of Death Battle should be "Protector’s Death Battle," as long as the master doesn’t die, Warring States is equivalent to having an Undying Body, recovering quickly regardless of how severe the injury is, to continue fighting.

As long as the master doesn’t die, Warring States won’t die.

Originally, this wouldn’t be considered a very strong secret law, as you could kill the pet by targeting the master first.

And Warring States itself has the "Protector" Secret Collection, with 100% ability to block attacks for the master.

Meaning, Warring States can block attacks without harm for the master, and itself won’t die due to the Death Battle secret law, essentially creating a glitch.

However, since the Secret Collection isn’t an ordinary secret skill, it cannot be used continuously.

Even so, it’s already quite formidable. With Warring States by Chen Guan’s side, it’s like Chen Guan has an extra life, capable of blocking a lethal attack for him.

In the following days, Zhao Cai and the little tiger’s levels also steadily increased, seemingly reaching Seven Awakening.

However, Chen Guan couldn’t see their information, and didn’t know what secret laws they awakened, only leaving it for future study.

The two unique Flower Fairies completed the Seven Awakening at almost the same time.

The secret laws obtained by the two unique Flower Fairies are both auxiliary in nature.

The secret law of the sickly Flower Fairy is "Neurotic Law," which can enhance other Secret Spirits, and once enhanced, the more harm they receive, the stronger their combat power enhancement becomes.

Although it’s a bit odd, it’s considered a reversal divine skill in adverse situations.

The secret law of the leader Flower Fairy is "Hundred Flowers Order," which is also an enhancement state secret law. However, the Hundred Flowers Order secret law is somewhat complicated and cumbersome to use. The leader Flower Fairy can activate various diverse Hundred Flowers Orders, including Peony Order, Peony Order, Chrysanthemum Order, etc., each with different effects, but mostly serving auxiliary roles, often enhancing battle power or refreshing the mind, requiring further study on their precise effects.

The frequently used pets by Chen Guan have mostly completed the Seven Awakening under the influence of World Power, and the World Power is yet to be depleted. Chen Guan left them on Yellow Mud Island to continue leveling up.

By the time the World Power is depleted, Ghost Eye, Evil Spirit Blood Sword, and Rouge have reached level 70, nearly achieving the Eight Awakening.

Other pets are also not far from level 70.

Only the Paperman remains at its original level, having not grown at all; the World Power has no effect on it.

Chen Guan hasn’t been idle during this time, seeking ways to complete his own Eight Awakening.

To achieve the Eight Awakening, one needs to communicate with the Secret Realm, first sensing the existence of the Secret Realm, then using one’s power to open a channel connecting to the Secret Realm, thereby establishing a connection with it.

Sensing the Secret Realm isn’t too difficult nor too easy.

The Secret Technique cultivated corresponds to the Secret Realm. The Secret Technique is fundamentally the way to sense the Secret Realm, with each technique corresponding to different Secret Realms. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The stronger the Secret Realm, the easier it is to perceive.

So generally, cultivators of Secret God level Secret Techniques or Unparalleled Secret Techniques can easily sense the corresponding Secret Realms.

The lower the quality of the Secret Technique, the harder it is to perceive the corresponding Secret Realm.

However, perceiving doesn’t mean being able to open a channel to the Secret Realm; often the easier it is to sense the Secret Realm, the harder it is to penetrate.

This is because such a Secret Realm is inherently very powerful, with extremely strong energy within, thus making it easier to sense its existence.

Still, Chen Guan has been unable to sense the existence of the Secret Realm over many days, which has made him somewhat worried.
