God of Pets-Chapter 609: Ghost Immortal Step

The craftsmanship of secret core embedding is an extremely formidable skill, and those who master this technique are very rare in Divine Land.

These secret cores are not merely decorative; once embedded in a secret treasure, they can unleash the energy contained within the secret core, enabling the use of its skills.

Although their power is one-time use and the secret core becomes fragmented after activation, unable to be used again.

Nonetheless, being able to utilize a secret skill out of thin air is a significant advantage.

The flying sword beneath the young girl's feet had no fewer than ten secret cores embedded, and if it were genuine secret core embedding craftsmanship, this item would be absolutely priceless.

However, the girl's condition didn't seem very good; her hair was slightly disheveled, her clothes somewhat chaotically decorated, and her left shoulder had a tear with blood staining her clothes like petals.

Upon seeing Chen Guan lift the curtain, the girl glanced at him and then immediately retracted her flying sword and dashed into the ghost palanquin.

"Listen to me obediently, or I'll kill you right away." The girl threatened coldly from underneath the top of the palanquin, watching the Chen Guan below: "Keep going, don't stop. If someone comes, say you haven't seen me. If you expose any hint, I'll be the first to kill you."

"Alright," Chen Guan responded, lowered the curtain and continued flying forward.

Chen Guan was already mentally prepared for such a situation; the chaos in Celestial Essence Sea made robbery commonplace, nothing surprising about it.

After a short while, Chen Guan heard the sound of something breaking through the air in the distance.

He was using Sharp-Hearing Ear, and when those people were ten miles away, he had already heard what they were saying.

"That little girl Ximen Bing is running really fast, don't let her escape."

"She won't escape, she's injured and her primordial energy is nearly depleted, she won't last much longer."

...

Chen Guan only discerned that the girl's name was Ximen Bing and nothing else useful.

However, the surname Ximen is rare. In Celestial Essence Sea, as far as Chen Guan knew, there was only one notable person with the surname Ximen.

Ximen Drunk, he's very famous in Celestial Essence Sea.

Drunk isn't his nickname; it's his real name, and Ximen Drunk doesn't drink at all.

He's renowned in Celestial Essence Sea because of his self-created secret skill "Ghost Immortal Step," a skill considered illustrious even in Grotto Heaven.

Within Grotto Heaven, there are people capable of flying secret skills, and their numbers are plentiful.

Ximen Drunk's "Ghost Immortal Step" stands out because this composite secret skill not only possesses flight capabilities but also consumes minimal primordial energy.

Typically, Sixth Awakening Cultivators using flying secret skills can fly but not very far, as their primordial energy can't keep up with the consumption.

Most of the time, flying relies on secret treasures or flying pets; only in battle is flying secret skill frequently used.

But this Ghost Immortal Step can be used long-term, almost without consuming primordial energy, as long as the secret technique isn't too poor; the automatically regenerated primordial energy can match the consumption of Ghost Immortal Step allowing constant flight in the air.

In a place like Celestial Essence Sea, the benefits of Ghost Immortal Step are evident without further explanation.

Regrettably, many have researched Ghost Immortal Step, but none have been able to replicate similar composite secret skills.

The key to Ghost Immortal Step, aside from low consumption, is its fast flight speed. These two seemingly contradictory traits exist within one body technique, making it perplexing and unclear how Ximen Drunk accomplished it.

Previously, there were attempts to target Ximen Drunk, but his unmatched Ghost Immortal Step and his sword skills were unfathomable.

To date, no one has succeeded in dealing with Ximen Drunk.

"This little girl has the Ximen surname; could she have some relationship with Ximen Drunk?" Chen Guan secretly speculated.

While thinking about this, those individuals arrived nearby, spotted Chen Guan's ghost palanquin, and quickly intercepted him.

"The God Martial King of Divine Martial City is here, you'd better come out and pay respects." Someone yelled.

Chen Guan frowned slightly, lifted the curtain, and looked at the people ahead.

Ahead was a giant black-backed turtle whose back spanned possibly four or five square meters, smaller than the sea-patrolling turtles Chen Guan had seen, yet it still had flying ability.

A pavilion was built on the turtle's back, furnished with a table and chairs, and several individuals sat inside.

The leader had white short hair, white sword-like eyebrows, purple pupils—clearly a demon.

However, among those with him were only two demons, while the remaining four were undoubtedly humans.

Chen Guan noticed a flash of surprise in his eyes upon seeing a woman seated beside the demon; the woman turned out to be Qing Ya, Bu Changning's childhood friend.

"She's reached Fourth Awakening too; she's come to Celestial Essence Sea, appears to have cozied up to that demon." Chen Guan knew Qing Ya's illusion technique was extremely formidable and hard for an ordinary person to unravel.

Her Life Player lifebound talent was exceedingly eerie, advancing by manipulating others' destinies as sustenance. This time she clung to this demon with some unknown intent.

Chen Guan frequently found himself in encounters with persons he preferred not to involve with; previously facing Bu Changning, now Qing Ya—practically an inescapable curse.

Several people scrutinized Chen Guan and then glanced inside the palanquin, failing to see Ximen Bing who was adhered beneath the canopy, hence felt disappointed.

Such a small palanquin seemingly couldn't hide anyone.

"Saw a girl-like woman riding a radiant flying sword pass by?" The human cultivator who previously questioned Chen Guan spoke again.

"I saw, she went in that direction." Chen Guan pointed in one direction.

"This here is the God Martial King. Dare you utter even half a false word, within Celestial Essence Sea, you'll face certain death. Think carefully before you speak." The human stated coldly.

"She actually went that way; I wouldn't dare deceive God Martial King with a hundred lives." Chen Guan sighed.

"Looks like his cultivation isn't high, judging by his mode of flight using such a secret treasure, he seems honest and probably wouldn't dare lie." Qing Ya glanced at Chen Guan and remarked.

"Leave." White-haired demon God Martial King said indifferently, and the black-backed turtle turned direction towards where Chen Guan pointed.

Chen Guan lowered the curtain, heading towards Mei City.

"Divine Martial City is the city of demons within Celestial Essence Sea; the City Lord self-designates as God Martial King, assumedly that's him. But why did Qing Ya associate with him?" Chen Guan wondered curiously. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After some distance, the God Martial King and company were out of sight, and Ximen Bing descended and looked at Chen Guan, saying, "If they return seeking you, insist I went that direction. Understand demons' nature; regardless of their promises, if you previously deceived them, they surely won't let you live."

Saying this, Ximen Bing prepared to dash out of the ghost palanquin to leave.

Yet as she moved, she suddenly realized her wrist was seized by Chen Guan.

"What do you intend?" Ximen Bing seethed, attempting to shake off Chen Guan's grip.

But abruptly, she found herself immobile; her neck wouldn't respond, akin to paralysis, instantly shocking her expression.
