Chen Guan's journey this ti could be described as a massive harvest; he acquired a Secret God pet, obtained Dragon Blood Grass, and even invited Jin Taohua to assist him.
Of course, after killing the Secret Spirit of i City, he also obtained many pets and Secret Cores. Combined with clearing out i City's treasure vault, the wealth he accumulated far surpassed what he could achieve by slaying Secret Spirits alone.
"No wonder so many people like to wage war; the wealth gained from the dead cos quickly," Chen Guan thought to himself.
He returned the Flying Immortal Sword to Xin Bing; the sword wasn't of much use to him, so there was no need to keep it.
Originally, he wanted to drive Xin Bing away, but for so reason, she insisted on joining Chen Guan's corps.
Chen Guan naturally agreed without hesitation. While Xin Bing herself wasn't too significant, her father was one of the top warriors of the Grotto Heaven.
Chen Guan kept Xin Bing more in hopes of recruiting Xin Saké to his side.
In the future, if he wanted to establish his own corps, relying on just one or two cities wouldn't be enough to sustain so many soldiers.
To have soldiers, he first needed resources; to obtain resources, he needed territories; to have territories, he needed people to manage them. With more people co friends and family, requiring even more places to accommodate them.
Thus, wars are sotis fought over resources. With resources and abilities, a truly invincible corps can be forged.
Chen Guan lacked many things right now, especially top-notch talents he could show off.
He didn't want to end up like his father, Chen Xinghe, a lone commander.
"Let
tell you a secret, a secret very important to . Promise , only the two of us will know, alright?" In a secluded place, Chen Guan looked intently at Xin Bing and said.
"What secret?" Xin Bing said indifferently.
"I am Zi Donglai." Chen Guan said slowly.
Xin Bing's eyes widened in shock: "You're Zi Donglai? No way, I've seen portraits of Zi Donglai. He should be more robust than you."
"Do you see this?" Chen Guan secretly used the Giant Spirit Power.
"You... you really are Zi Donglai..." Xin Bing exclaid, both surprised and joyous.
Being familiar with Zi Donglai's reputation, she finally understood why Chen Guan was so formidable.
To be able to join the Purple Sun Corps was sothing Xin Bing found extrely exciting.
"This secret only the two of us know, okay?" Chen Guan asked again.
"Rest assured, no one else will know you are Zi Donglai," Xin Bing nodded repeatedly, her face solemn as if she wouldn't divulge a word even with a knife to her neck.
...
Soon after, in another secluded place, Chen Guan repeated the sa to Jin Taohua.
"This secret, only you and I know, okay?" Chen Guan looked sincerely at Jin Taohua.
"Talk properly," Jin Taohua gave him a sidelong glance.
Such words might fool young girls, but Jin Taohua wouldn't believe such nonsense. If he really couldn't expose this identity, he wouldn't have told her.
If there's a second person who knows sothing, it might end up known by the third, fourth, and ultimately Nth person.
"Alright, the corps you want to join is the Purple Sun Corps," Chen Guan gave up on coaxing Jin Taohua and discussed with her matters about joining the Purple Sun Corps.
Jin Taohua had made it clear she could help Chen Guan but wouldn't join the Purple Sun Corps in any capacity.
Chen Guan had no choice but to compromise; having Jin Taohua's help was good enough. He could give her the sa status as Bai Xiuyan, allowing her to act as the special advisor of the Purple Sun Corps.
"Ghost Eye, I've prepared the Dragon Blood Grass for you. You must strive to reach the Sixth Sense soon," Chen Guan pinned his hopes on Ghost Eye.
Because aside from the Warring States, Ghost Eye and Yan Zhi were the easiest to level up.
Though Paperman seed powerful, its leveling speed was terribly slow.
Fortunately, after the Battle of i City, Paperman's level had, for the first ti, surpassed Chen Guan, completing the fifth awakening and reaching Level 41.
Regrettably, Chen Guan was only Level 40, making it impossible to summon Paperman.
"I need to level up quickly," Chen Guan hesitated in choosing a Secret Divine Treasure as his foundational Five Senses.
He ruled out the Mountain-Opening Axe and the Mountain and River Map first.
The Mountain-Opening Axe offered only strong destructive power, but Chen Guan's spiritual power was already powerful enough. The axe was just icing on the cake.
While the Mountain and River Map worked quite well with Chen Guan's vast Primordial Energy, it didn't seem suitable as a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure.
Now the remaining options were the Divine Land Cauldron and the Daoist Mortar.
The Divine Land Cauldron's function remained a mystery, as Chen Guan's level was not high enough to activate it.
Chen Guan was leaning toward the Daoist Mortar, given its extraordinary abilities. Refining it into a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure would be the best outco.
Despite studying it for a long ti, Chen Guan still didn't understand how to use Yellow Mud Island, nor the source of its replicating ability, and was currently using it as a space bag.
If he could refine it into a Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, he wouldn't have to worry about these usage issues anymore and could use it to replicate various items directly without much trouble.
Upon returning to Purple Sun City, Chen Guan placed the Imperial Palace within the newly built foundation in Purple Sun City. At last, the city had a general outline.
After settling Xin Bing and Jin Taohua, Chen Guan returned to his room and sent his spiritual sense into Yellow Mud Island.
Observing the current state of Yellow Mud Island, Chen Guan was montarily stunned.
Woof! Woof!
Yellow Mud Island was almost becoming a dog field, with dozens of Self-red Chow Chows barking.
These Self-red Chow Chows looked sowhat identical, or rather, similar to the Warring States.
Chen Guan imdiately realized what had happened, feeling both astonished and delighted.
These Self-red Chow Chows were clearly the clay figurines he previously shaped from yellow mud.
However, those clay figurines had only turned into ceramics on the island, showing no further change at first.
After so long, those ceramics had turned into living Self-red Chow Chows, leaving Chen Guan puzzled about what had caused this transformation.
Besides the Self-red Chow Chows, Chen Guan also noticed a rather abstract Flower Fairy, another clay figurine he had previously molded.
He checked and found that all the things he had ford had now beco real objects and were no longer ceramics.
"What is going on? They were just ceramics before. How did they co to life all of a sudden? Is there a cost I have to pay?" Chen Guan speculated to himself.
Before long, Chen Guan noticed the anomaly on Yellow Mud Island.
Every ti he practiced the Nine Reversed Yuan Skill, reconstructing primordial energy, he'd channel a large amount of it into Yellow Mud Island.
Each ti, over ninety percent of the primordial energy was channeled into the island, and after nine cycles, Yellow Mud Island was enveloped in that white energy.
Yet now, no trace of that vast energy could be found on Yellow Mud Island.
Chen Guan suspected the energy wasn't dissipated but was likely the reason those ceramics turned into real objects.
