Chapter 968: Helping Others, Helping Oneself

This time, the descent of the Sky Secret Spirit was more intense than any previous occasion.At the same time, Chen Guan also realized that he underestimated humanity and even more so the Secret Spirits of the Great Cave Heaven.

Humans have strong figures like the Celestial King, while the top-tier Secret Spirits in the Great Cave Heaven are far more numerous than human experts. If the Celestial King is enduring in silence, don’t the top-tier Secret Spirits equally exist in secrecy?

Both are at the Ninth Awakening Peak, but the Celestial King can only guard his own territory and has not been able to rule any Secret Realm in the Great Cave Heaven, which is quite telling.

For countless generations, the Earth Secret Spirits have been the main force against the Sky Secret Spirits, with humans merely supporting them.

In this era, humans have entered an unprecedented epoch of prosperity, with geniuses and strong figures emerging in droves, and even existences comparable to the Celestial King appearing.

In such an era, can Secret Spirits regress? Certainly not; they are also growing stronger, their accumulated power is unimaginable.

Perhaps they, like humans, are all waiting for the day the Sky Spirits descend, thus breaking the countless generations of cleansing fate.

After this incident, Chen Guan thought that he should perhaps visit each Great Cave Heaven to meet those top-tier Secret Spirits.

Of course, Chen Guan was not going to hunt them; if they were willing, he could offer them some assistance to help them advance further.

Breaking through temporarily when the Celestial Secret Realm descends will inevitably have limitations; perhaps they won’t have time to adapt to growth, or they won’t be able to exert their true combat power before they die at the hands of the Sky Secret Spirits.

Let them advance to the Tenth Awakening within the Immortal Mountain Sect beforehand, so they can exert even stronger combat power in due time.

To resist this unprecedented cleansing, Chen Guan needs more combat power. He could not protect the entire Divine Land and all Secret Realms by himself; he requires more powerful presences to fend off the onslaught of the Sky Secret Spirits.

"Please leave." Ji Changsheng said calmly.

Long Yue, though reluctant in many ways, was helpless and could only look to Mi Xiang.

Mi Xiang was very capable, but facing someone like Ji Changsheng proved to be equally helpless, only shaking her head slightly toward Long Yue.

Long Yue’s heart sank like water; she gritted her teeth and said, "The guardian of the Sky Path was replaced without a residents’ meeting vote, and we of the Virgo Race will definitely complain about this issue to the end."

This was the only thing she could do before the day of the Sky Spirits’ descent; if complaints could solve the issue, the Virgo Race still had hope.

Otherwise, with this mysterious human guarding the entrance to the Sky Path, few Secret Spirits would likely succeed in traversing the entire Celestial Secret Realm.

Chen Guan’s mind churned; he felt he should do something.

If they don’t want the Sky Spirits to leave, Chen Guan, by aiding the Virgo Race or even more races of Sky Secret Spirits to leave Sky City, could reduce the pressure Earth Secret Realm faces when the Sky Spirits descend in the future.

Chen Guan decided to try to assist Long Yue; if Long Yue succeeds, then other Sky Secret Spirits are likely to emulate her.

Yet, how to help Long Yue perplexed Chen Guan.

He could help Long Yue breakthrough, but then he would have to reveal his strength, and whether he could pass Ji Changsheng’s challenge remained uncertain.

Ji Changsheng’s ability was somewhat uncanny, and Chen Guan was unsure if he could overcome his limitations.

Another way was to use the Spirit of the Cheerleaders to assist Long Yue, making her stronger until she defeats Ji Changsheng.

Regardless of how strong the spirit might be, Chen Guan cannot aid the Sky Secret Spirits in growing stronger, as they could be enemies in the future.

Even if they do not attack the Earth Secret Realm and the Divine Land, Chen Guan intends to ascend regardless.

The effect of the Spirit of the Cheerleaders depends on the target’s potential; if the potential is great and Chen Guan’s support is ample, it could be a permanent strengthening, which is not what Chen Guan wants to see.

Unable to personally go, and unable to overtly help Long Yue strengthen, confronting this challenge indeed leaves Chen Guan in a bind.

"Wait a moment, maybe I have a way to help you ascend the Sky Path." Chen Guan transmitted a message to Long Yue, who was about to leave.

Long Yue turned back, surprised and glanced at Chen Guan.

She did not believe Chen Guan had such capabilities; she always thought of Chen Guan as a fostered puppy by Mi Xiang. If Mi Xiang couldn’t do it, how could Chen Guan possibly accomplish it?

But now, Long Yue was putting her trust in desperation; she didn’t want to miss any glimmer of hope.

"Don’t look at me, otherwise my method won’t work. Continue challenging that guard-human, and I’ll tell you via transmission what to do. You can try it, there’s no harm even if it doesn’t work." Chen Guan said.

Long Yue clearly did not want to miss any opportunity, so following Chen Guan’s advice, she stopped deliberately looking at him, and turned back to Ji Changsheng saying, "No, I can’t leave like this. Today, I must go through."

Her actions left Mi Xiang, who came along with her, somewhat flabbergasted, unsure of what was happening and why she suddenly changed her stance.

From Mi Xiang’s understanding of her, she could not fathom what other possible means Long Yue had to make it through this hurdle.

"First, undo the restraints on him." Chen Guan transmitted.

Upon hearing this, Long Yue felt even more that Chen Guan was unreliable, but she could only try, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Long Yue undid the Holy Maiden’s Seal on Ji Changsheng; she had intended to leave directly without undoing it, permanently sealing Ji Changsheng here, so that if she advanced, Ji Changsheng would never be able to pass through.

"I have a technique that might help you break through this barrier. You’ll need to follow my instructions, using this technique to attack him," Chen Guan continued to transmit.

"Look closely, this is my ultimate skill. If you can withstand it, then I, Long Yue, will concede this time." Long Yue prefaced while absorbing the technique information transmitted by Chen Guan.

Long Yue did not think the technique Chen Guan spoke of was difficult, deeply skeptical about the technique’s real efficacy.

However, the situation demanded it; she had no other choice but to assume the posture as Chen Guan directed and delivered a strike.

This strike was bolstered by Long Yue’s Alien Elemental Energy and the flawless Realm, and its power was terrifying.

Yet, the technique itself seemed quite ordinary, without any outstanding features.

However, this seemingly ordinary strike brought a glimmer of astonishment in Ji Changsheng’s eyes, where earlier he remained expressionless facing Long Yue’s full-power attacks.

Long Yue failed to notice the flash in Ji Changsheng’s eyes, preoccupied with feeling shame for using such a move.

Considering her identity, status, and capability, executing such a crude move felt like tossing her dignity onto the ground, and grinding it underfoot.

"It seems to have some effect; proceed with the second move." Chen Guan’s voice pulled Long Yue’s shame-stricken mind back to reality.
