God of Pets-Chapter 670: Accepting Ji Changsheng as a Disciple

Chen Guan was momentarily at a loss for how to react; this turn of events was completely unexpected, and he had never imagined such a thing could happen, having no psychological anticipation for it.

For one, it was unclear whether this person was truly Ji Changsheng, and for another, it was unclear what the relationship was between Ji Changsheng and this statue.

If Chen Guan spoke now and Ji Changsheng was merely seeking psychological comfort, then having seen a side of Ji Changsheng unknown to others, he likely wouldn't be allowed to continue living in this world.

Without understanding the situation, Chen Guan could only choose to remain silent and wait to discern the circumstances.

Ji Changsheng lay prostrate before the statue for a long time without moving, and only after a while did he slowly raise his head, but his eyes no longer held the initial reverence and devotion.

His eyes, like ancient ice, coldly stared at the statue Chen Guan was attached to: "What do you mean by not responding to my prayers? Do you think I'm not devout enough? Or do you think I'm not worthy of becoming your follower, not worthy of receiving your blessing?"

As he spoke, Ji Changsheng slowly stood up, his gaze at the statue growing increasingly hostile.

Chen Guan thought, "Damn, is this guy schizophrenic? He's a completely different person than he was before!"

Ji Changsheng stared at the statue and continued, "Do you refuse to perform your role as a god, needing a thrashing to feel better, is that it?"

Chen Guan was still shocked at Ji Changsheng's quick change of demeanor when he saw Ji Changsheng's hand flick, and a whip appeared in his grasp.

Crack!

Chen Guan had no time to react before Ji Changsheng lashed the statue, resulting in a sharp crack.

Chen Guan originally thought that the statue being whipped would have nothing to do with him, but who knew that when the whip struck the statue, he felt a piercing pain in his soul, as if the strike had landed on his very soul, causing Chen Guan to almost cry out in pain.

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Guan was dazed.

Crack!

Once more, Ji Changsheng lashed the statue and remarked, "Made you a god and you won't act the part, feels good only when beaten, huh?"

As Ji Changsheng spoke, he kept lashing, each lash accompanied by a disdainful remark—a dual torment for both body and mind.

The statue resonated with loud cracks, and Chen Guan's spirit body endured the same torment.

"What kind of pervert is this?" Chen Guan realized this couldn't continue, but without a physical body, he couldn't use any secret skills either.

With a thought, he entered the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed state; only in an absolute secret state was he effective. Once the soul shield formed by the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed came into being, Chen Guan felt much better when the whip struck the statue again.

"That whip can actually attack the soul, what kind of secret treasure is that?" Realizing the whip's effect, Chen Guan's mind was flooded with speculation.

It seemed Ji Changsheng wasn't crazy at all. His true intention in whipping the statue was to whip the soul inside it, or what could be called the spirit of the statue.

But for some unknown reason, the original soul within the statue was gone, with Chen Guan who came through the Da Luo Dream Butterfly taking its place.

Chen Guan speculated that the jade statue spirit might have been tormented by Ji Changsheng for too long, unable to withstand it, and thus was obliterated.

Or perhaps it couldn't endure the humiliation and resolved itself, somehow.

Anyway, Chen Guan had now become the spirit of the statue, and from now on, it was he who would endure Ji Changsheng's torment.

"Ji Changsheng refers to this statue as the Jade God and speaks of wanting the Jade God to give him the Secret Technique to suddenly break the limits of a Celestial Being." With thoughts racing, Chen Guan pondered.

If this person truly is Ji Changsheng, being a supreme and the strongest peaked existence, what kind of level or realm does he aim to break through to?

"In the Earth Secret Realm, such a level realm certainly doesn't exist. Does Ji Changsheng's talk of breaking the limits of a Celestial Being refer to transcending the limits of the Earth Secret Realm to achieve some level and realm in the Celestial Secret Realm? If reasoning this way, does it imply the original Jade God came from the Celestial Secret Realm?" Chen Guan speculated ceaselessly, hoping to obtain more useful information.

Chen Guan knew this was not a feasible approach; he couldn't just sit here taking a beating until Ji Changsheng pummelled him into oblivion.

"What exactly do you want?" Having learned from the previous experience, Chen Guan directly shook his spirit body to produce sound.

When Ji Changsheng heard the voice, he froze in place, the whip he raised halted mid-air.

"You finally choose to speak?" Ji Changsheng lowered his hand and looked at the statue.

"What exactly do you want?" Chen Guan knew speaking too much could cause mistakes, so he repeated the same sentence.

"Have I not told you many times? As long as you pass on to me the Secret Technique to break the Celestial Being limits, allowing me to advance further, I can even worship you as a god and master," Ji Changsheng said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Ji Changsheng's demand didn't surprise Chen Guan; Ji Changsheng had made his intentions clear when he worshipped the god.

"The secret technique there is not something your humans can learn," Chen Guan continued.

"Just teach me; whether I can learn it is my concern," Ji Changsheng replied.

"I can teach you, but I have a condition," said Chen Guan.

"As long as you teach me, once I master it, helping you break free from confinement to return to the Celestial Secret Realm won't be an issue," Ji Changsheng said flatly.

"Do you think I would believe you?" Chen Guan scoffed.

"You have no other choice but to believe me," Ji Changsheng said casually.

"So, as I said, I can teach you, but there is a condition; otherwise, no amount of torment will work," Chen Guan stated.

"What condition?" Ji Changsheng asked.

"In order to learn my teachings, you must acknowledge me as your master, offering me a hundred kinds of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures every day..." With an opportunity like this, Chen Guan wasn't hesitant at all, he couldn't let the beating he suffered go to waste.

"Disciple Ji Changsheng pays respects to Master. Master, please accept my three bows," Ji Changsheng straightforwardly knelt and kowtowed, acknowledging his master.

"Is this guy really Ji Changsheng? Even as a Celestial King, Ji Changsheng is practically shameless, forsaking his pride for a secret technique," Chen Guan was full of doubts.

"Master, can you pass me the Secret Technique now?" Ji Changsheng asked, eyeing Chen Guan as he rose.

"Offer first, then the teachings," Chen Guan replied leisurely.

"A hundred kinds of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures; that's not a difficult task." Ji Changsheng pointed his hand, and one Heavenly and Earthly Treasure after another appeared on the offering table, quickly filling it up.

Vermilion Fruit, aged Lingzhi, and various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, each a gem; evidently, such items were not uncommon in the Great Cave Heaven.
