Chapter 856: Chapter 856: A Dreamlike Opportunity

Chen Guan did not continue to speak much, but began to recite a Secret Technique.

This Secret Technique is partially derived from Ming Fei’s Secret Technique, but it is not entirely Ming Fei’s Secret Technique.

Its true master is Ji Changsheng; after Chen Guan taught Ming Fei’s Secret Technique to Ji Changsheng, Ji Changsheng modified it to create a new Secret Technique.

At that time, Ji Changsheng was always communicating with Chen Guan, so Chen Guan naturally also knew this Secret Technique, and even learned Ji Changsheng’s Innate Eight Techniques.

However, Chen Guan himself never practiced this Secret Technique; he did not want to end up like Ji Changsheng, becoming indistinguishable between yin and yang.

Plus, he already has the Secret Technique of One, so this thing has always been of no use.

Now, passing the Secret Technique created by Ji Changsheng back to the Ji family members is also a kind of karma.

Of course, Chen Guan isn’t that kind-hearted and isn’t purely aiming to pass the Secret Technique back to the Ji family.

Currently, the situation of the Ji family is worse than he imagined.

There are probably issues within the Ji family, and certainly, there must be some Ji family members colluding with other families.

The Ji family being swallowed by other families is just a matter of time; if the Ji family really gets swallowed, it could lead to a disruption of the current delicate balance between the Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court.

Chen Guan might stand on the opposite side of the Ancestral Court and the Ten Great Families in the future. If the Ji family gets swallowed and its Great Cave Heaven goes to another Celestial King, the family owning two Great Cave Heavens would surely experience a massive expansion in power.

In such a situation, whether or not a superfamily might emerge is beyond anyone’s prediction.

Before Chen Guan grows his own strength, he hopes the Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court can maintain their current balance, so he can fish in troubled waters and avoid being targeted by all Ten Great Families.

Protecting the Ji family is beneficial and harmless to Chen Guan.

Moreover, placing his bets on Ji Liuying now is like being an angel investor; there will be benefits for him later in the Ji family’s Great Cave Heaven.

Of course, Chen Guan didn’t choose Ji Liuying blindly.

The three months spent together in the Tear Luo Desert gave Chen Guan a certain understanding of Ji Liuying.

Undoubtedly, Ji Liuying’s talent is exceptional; if it weren’t, given her circumstances in the Ji family, she wouldn’t have been able to ascend to the Great Cave Heaven at her age.

Ji Liuying’s talent is excellent, and her achievements in the acquired realm are also considerable, and she excels in all aspects.

Additionally, with Chen Guan’s Spirit of the Cheerleaders and the Secret Technique left by Ji Changsheng, even if it can’t recreate another Ji Changsheng, it should at least turn Ji Liuying into a top powerhouse of the Ji family.

Even if it doesn’t save the Ji family, stirring the water in the Ji family is equally beneficial to Chen Guan.

Listening to what Chen Guan said, Ji Liuying began to think he was a bit inexplicable.

What use could a Secret Technique have for her? Her Secret Technique is already formed, and it’s too late to change it now.

Moreover, without the Secret Technique Core, merely having the Secret Technique incantations isn’t enough to learn it.

But as she listened, Ji Liuying’s puzzled expression gradually turned to shock, for she found that the Secret Technique Chen Guan mentioned had similarities with her practiced Innate Divine Skill, yet it felt somewhat elusive.

Furthermore, the more she listened, the more profound it became, even more profound than the Innate Divine Skill.

Many people in the Ji family cultivate the Innate Divine Skill, but there are actually three types of Innate Divine Skill.

One type is called "Innate Supreme Divine Skill," which is Secret God Level, produced by an Innate Divine Beast. Although the territory where the Innate Divine Beast lives is controlled by the Ji family, the limited number of Innate Divine Beasts means the "Innate Supreme Divine Skill" it produces is extremely scarce.

In the past thousand years, those in the Ji family who could practice "Innate Supreme Divine Skill" are few and far between.

Another type of Innate Divine Skill is called "Innate Qi Divine Skill," which is the Secret Technique Ji Changsheng practiced. "Innate Qi Divine Skill" isn’t of Secret God Level, but it’s a rare Secret Technique possessed only by Ji Changsheng, derived from a mutated Innate Divine Beast, with no second one existing.

The last type of Innate Divine Skill, simply called Innate Divine Skill, is of unparalleled quality, produced by an Innate Divine Beast. Although this Innate Divine Skill is rare, it’s relatively more accessible.

Most in the Ji family who practice Innate Divine Skills cultivate this kind.

The combination of Innate Divine Skill with the Innate Eight Techniques created by Ji Changsheng can produce effects even stronger than many Secret God Quality Secret Techniques.

Ji Liuying practices the "Innate Divine Skill"; if it weren’t so, Chen Guan wouldn’t have been able to choose her.

The more Ji Liuying listened, the more astonished she became. The Secret Technique that seemed both familiar and not, allowed her to see many incredible possibilities.

The content described inside consisted of many concepts she had neither thought of nor seen, yet those contents clearly had a huge connection with the Innate Divine Skill.

"Who... who are you exactly..." Ji Liuying’s shock was beyond measure as she finished listening to the entire Secret Technique and looked at Chen Guan with eyes full of doubt and surprise.

"Didn’t I tell you, I’m the Ming King." Chen Guan said calmly, "This name might be unfamiliar to you, but if Ji Changsheng were still around, he should be able to tell you my origin."

"Are you acquainted with my Celestial King?" Ji Liuying’s suspicion grew.

If Chen Guan had said these words earlier, she wouldn’t have believed a single one.

But the Secret Technique that Chen Guan mentioned made her harbor some doubts.

"You could say we’re acquainted. He sought my advice on some cultivation matters, and I taught him a few things." Chen Guan said nonchalantly.

Ji Liuying became even more puzzled and incredulous as she watched Chen Guan. It was hard to believe everything Chen Guan said.

But the Secret Technique couldn’t be fake; even the Ji family elders practicing "Innate Supreme Divine Skill" probably couldn’t come up with such a Secret Technique.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me; try practicing this Secret Technique, and you’ll see for yourself if what I said is true." Chen Guan smiled confidently, "Ji Changsheng used this Secret Technique to break through his limits and gain unmatched power."

"My Celestial King... practiced this Secret Technique... to break through to that realm..." Ji Liuying felt parched, her heart racing.

She could hardly believe that she would encounter such an opportunity, nor could she believe everything the person before her said.

To teach the Celestial King, just how skilled must this person be! Is there really someone like this in the world?

"Why did you choose me?" Ji Liuying asked, swallowing her non-existent saliva with difficulty as she looked at Chen Guan.

"In the Tear Luo Desert, you didn’t take advantage of others’ misfortune and even wanted to save me. With just that mindset, you deserve everything." Chen Guan smiled.

Ji Liuying’s emotions were incredibly mixed, as if she were in a dream, unsure whether to believe this unbelievable reality.

She wanted to seize this opportunity, but she was also afraid that exerting too much force would shatter this dream.
