God of Pets-Chapter 656: Refining

After reading these tiny characters, cold sweat broke out on Chen Guan’s forehead.

Because he discovered that this leaf was far from simple, it was actually playing an open trick on him.

This leaf was telling him the principle of "believers have, non-believers do not," which meant that if Chen Guan didn’t believe, he couldn’t see its true power. But if he believed, would he then be enchanted and controlled by it?

If he didn’t believe, he wouldn’t know its true capabilities.

If he believed, he might be controlled by it.

Even more terrifying was that Ming Fei’s encounter seemed to confirm that this leaf really had something about it.

"This leaf can actually see through people’s hearts and human nature!" Chen Guan squinted his eyes and stared at the leaf, finding it difficult to make a decision for a while.

Chen Guan finally stepped back and asked Ming Fei on the side, "How did you discover that Secret Technique?"

"The Secret Technique was right on the leaf, I saw it at a glance," Ming Fei said, pointing at the leaf.

"Didn’t you see any other words? Didn’t the leaf talk to you?" Chen Guan asked again.

"No, how could the leaf talk to me? Even if it’s a Secret Treasure, it doesn’t mean all Secret Treasures can talk to people," Ming Fei shook her head and said.

Chen Guan nodded, Ming Fei’s words seemed to further prove the leaf itself indeed had a peculiar power.

Because Ming Fei had always been somewhat dissatisfied with her Secret Technique, so she longed for a stronger Secret Technique and was willing to believe, so she obtained that Secret Technique.

Chen Guan desperately longed to be invincible in the world, hoping that he and his family would no longer need to hide their identities, no longer live in fear, no longer have to guard against numerous threats.

But he did not believe that a mere leaf could help him achieve invincibility in the world, nor did he believe that what the leaf offered would come without a price.

Right now, he was stuck in a standstill, because Chen Guan didn’t believe, the leaf couldn’t exert its power.

If he believed, who knew what the outcome might be?

"Since you don’t trust me, and I can’t trust you, then you shouldn’t exist in this world." Chen Guan pulled out the Mountain-Opening Axe, intending to split the leaf in two.

Since he couldn’t trigger the leaf’s power, then no matter how strong the leaf was, it was useless, better destroy it than leave it to disrupt his state of mind and become a disaster.

Without the leaf, Chen Guan still had other Secret Divine Treasures to use, so he didn’t need to be so entangled.

Chen Guan was not a hesitant person by nature, so he swung the axe swiftly, injecting his spiritual power into the Mountain-Opening Axe, letting it explode with tremendous power.

Clang!

The Mountain-Opening Axe, capable of splitting mountains, struck the leaf, yet couldn’t damage even a tiny part of it.

A peculiar stream of light supported the Mountain-Opening Axe, the axe’s light dissipated into nothing, the axe blade hovering a hair’s breadth from the leaf, never touching it.

"I should have thought of this, a Secret Treasure even the Netherworld Emperor couldn’t destroy, how could I easily sever it?" Chen Guan realized this plan likely wouldn’t work.

Now, unable to obtain or destroy it, Chen Guan didn’t have a better solution, just staring at the leaf with furrowed brows, deep in thought.

"Since there are no other ways, why not try and believe in me? How do you know there isn’t a treasure behind the door if you don’t open it?"

Another line of words appeared on the leaf, actually persuading Chen Guan to believe in it.

"This leaf is so damn bizarre!" Chen Guan kept the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed active to protect his soul from being tainted.

But he couldn’t deny his curiosity about the leaf, he really wanted to know if it truly possessed such power.

"Ming Fei, can you see the words on the leaf?" Chen Guan asked Ming Fei beside him.

"Words? There are no words on it." Ming Fei stared at the leaf for a while and shook her head.

Chen Guan then summoned the Warring States, and said to it, "Warring States, look and see if there are words on that leaf."

"Woof!" The Warring States barked once, as if acknowledging, then ran to the leaf, stared at it for a while with its dog eyes, and then turned to look at Chen Guan, barking once again.

Chen Guan understood that Warring States meant there were none, confirming that the words on the leaf were likely some sort of illusion, visible only to him and unseen by others.

Gazing at the leaf that flickered like something demonic, Chen Guan frowned in thought.

Suddenly, Chen Guan opened his perspective, contemplating silently, "Why should I care what kind of abilities it has? Its abilities don’t really matter to me."

"The key now is whether or not I should use it as my Five Senses Treasure. If I decide to use it as my Five Senses Treasure, I can directly refine it using the Secret Technique to make it my Five Senses Treasure."

"Once successful, it won’t matter what abilities it has, since once it’s refined into a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, it will obey my orders anyway."

Chen Guan began to rethink whether to make the leaf his Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure.

The Daoist Mortar shouldn’t deceive him, plus with Ming Fei’s proof, the leaf was undoubtedly a Celestial Secret Treasure.

If so, there would basically be no better choice than it, after all, the Secret Spirits of the Celestial Secret Realm were at least terrifying beings that could contend with a Great Cave Heaven, their Secret Treasures naturally wouldn’t be inferior.

Moreover, this mystical leaf Treasure was initially suppressed by the Netherworld Emperor.

"If this leaf has spiritual or soul-type abilities, it would be great, I only have the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed ability, which is rather lacking."

Once the thought settled, Chen Guan had no more hesitation, using the Refining Technique from the Secret Technique of One, he injected spiritual power into the leaf, intending to refine it directly as his Lifebound Secret Treasure.

The leaf immediately sensed Chen Guan’s intention, and a line of small characters surfaced on its surface: "You want to refine me as your Lifebound Secret Treasure? That is impossible, for an existence like me, how could you refine it..."

Unmoved, Chen Guan continued to channel his spiritual power into the leaf, utilizing the Refining Technique from the Secret Technique of One.

"What’s your relationship with the Spirit Devouring God?" Suddenly another line appeared on the leaf’s surface.

Chen Guan ignored it, and continued transforming his spiritual power.

The characters on the leaf flickered repeatedly, always asking the question "What’s your relationship with the Spirit Devouring God?"

Since Chen Guan kept ignoring them, after a while, the words suddenly changed: "Even if you possess the power of the Spirit Devouring God, you’re merely a lower lifeform without the Five Senses, your primordial energy is too scarce, insufficient to refine..."

Word by word, the characters emerged, but before the full message appeared, a strange radiance emanated from the leaf, illuminating its veins with spiritual power’s light.

"Stop...Do you know what you’re doing...You can’t refine me...You’re not qualified...You’ll harm both me and yourself..." The words on the leaf flashed faster, becoming increasingly erratic.

Chen Guan remained unmoved, focusing entirely on infusing his spiritual power to slowly refine it.

The spiritual light on the leaf grew stronger, initially only in the veins, eventually permeating the entire leaf, turning it as crystal-clear as a gem.

Once the leaf was completely imbued with spiritual energy, it suddenly shattered into countless particles, merging into Chen Guan’s body, flowing continuously along with the Secret Technique of One.

Chen Guan could feel a peculiar power, accompanied by the operation of the Secret Technique of One, integrating into his body, merging with his physical form and spiritual power.

This was the inevitable process of a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, it must integrate with Chen Guan as a whole, so they could share each other’s fate. As long as Chen Guan lived, even if it was destroyed, it could regenerate within his body.

Simultaneously, Chen Guan and his spiritual power would also possess part of the Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure’s traits, enhancing their compatibility.
