God of Pets Chapter 860: Space Ring
Previously on God of Pets...
Though the ring could now move freely, Chen Guan remained incapable of opening it directly, only able to summon Ming Fei.
Ming Fei placed the ring on her fingertip and said with a smile to Chen Guan: "I can sense it; this ring is not simple."
"Isn’t it just a space ring?" Chen Guan questioned.
"Space rings are distinguished into two categories. One type anchors the ring to connect to an existing space, making it essentially a mere spatial connector."
"The other type possesses an independent space created within the ring itself. This requires the ring to have inherent spatial attributes and immense power to manifest and access the independent space."
"What’s the fundamental difference between these two?" Chen Guan pondered for a moment before asking.
"The first type of space ring is akin to our connection with the Secret Realm. We are merely a point of linkage; the Secret Realm isn't directly bound to us. We simply open a conduit into it, much like drawing water from a river to irrigate one's fields."
Ming Fei elaborated, "Establishing the second type of space ring is significantly more arduous. It necessitates supreme spatial power to carve out new territory, and the challenge involved is vastly different."
Chen Guan grasped Ming Fei’s explanation; the two indeed possessed fundamental distinctions.
What Chen Guan couldn't fathom was, if both served for storage, what was the practical difference?
Ming Fei addressed Chen Guan’s query: "The first type links to a pre-existing space, which could be within the Divine Land, a Secret Realm, or the boundless star cosmos. Since it's a tangible location, other beings might access it, and its environment could evolve over time. The space within the second type of ring, however, remains secure. Unless deliberately opened, no one can enter."
"Are you suggesting this is the first type of space ring, connecting to an existing place, though its location is unknown?" Chen Guan mused, realizing that if it were the second type, Ming Fei wouldn't have needed to provide such elaborate explanations.
Ming Fei first nodded, then shook her head. "Yes and no. That’s precisely why I stated this ring is not simple; it embodies characteristics of both types, possessing its own independent space while simultaneously acting as an anchor point to another."
Only then did Chen Guan comprehend why Ming Fei had so much to convey.
Chen Guan contemplated for a brief moment before speaking, "Can you sense the contents of the ring’s internal space and the connected space?"
"I can only perceive what resides within the ring's own space. As for the connected space, we will ascertain its contents upon visiting." Ming Fei delicately pinched the ring with her fingers, her Primordial Energy continuously flowing into it.
"What lies within the ring?" Chen Guan inquired.
"It would be best if you witnessed it yourself." Ming Fei responded and activated the ring. The space warped, instantly transporting both of them into the ring's interior.
Chen Guan understood that the ring’s space would inherently be safe; otherwise, Ming Fei would not have brought him inside so readily.
The scenery before them transformed. Chen Guan found himself within a palace, astonishingly grand, with walls soaring nearly a hundred meters high, instilling a sense of profound smallness.
Nevertheless, the vibrantly colored walls appeared peculiar.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Guan discerned that all the palace walls were fashioned like bookshelves, densely packed with countless volumes.
The walls Chen Guan observed were not structural barriers but rather an endless arrangement of meticulously organized books.
Chen Guan walked around the expansive palace, discovering it contained naught but a solitary desk and chair, apart from the book-laden walls.
Chen Guan weighed numerous possibilities; he even contemplated that Ji Changsheng might be plotting against him, perhaps leaving something within the ring to ensnare him.
He also considered the chance that Ji Changsheng had amassed immense resources, intending them as a legacy to protect the Ji Family in the future.
Yet, after exhausting every conceivable scenario, Chen Guan never anticipated that Ji Changsheng would leave behind a chamber filled entirely with books.
"It would require several lifetimes to finish perusing these books; what was Ji Changsheng's intention in leaving them?" Chen Guan remained baffled.
The majority of human Secret Techniques and Skills are contingent upon a Secret Core; any techniques lacking this core are essentially rendered useless.
Consequently, these books could not pertain to Secret Techniques and Skills. Furthermore, Ji Changsheng had already imparted his most potent and refined Secret Skills to Chen Guan, rendering the need for additional ones redundant.
Chen Guan casually glanced at a few book covers, gaining insight into the nature of the contents Ji Changsheng had placed within this spatial ring.
"Hmm!" Chen Guan registered the presence of many familiar designations.
"Sand Scorpion... Sand Snake... Giant Centipede..." Chen Guan realized that each book was christened after a Secret Spirit, likely representing actual entities.
Chen Guan's heart stirred with anticipation, and he withdrew a volume to peruse.
As anticipated, the books contained exhaustive details pertaining to their respective Secret Spirits.
The tome on Sand Scorpions, penned by Chen Guan, laid bare an exhaustive record of the creature's innate talents, formidable Secret Techniques, potent Skills, treasured armaments, Celestial Destiny Star, Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, overarching Secret Law, ensconced Secret Realm, and meticulously gathered Secret Collection. Moreover, it delved into the scorpion's physical structure, behavioral patterns, and preferred characteristics with astonishing precision.
Within the pages of this book were detailed anatomical illustrations of the Sand Scorpion, exposing every internal and external facet, accompanied by comprehensive explanations.
Upon finishing the read, Chen Guan couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. "No one's triumphs are born of mere chance," he mused. "King Ji's compilation of Secret Spirit data, while perhaps not the absolute zenith of completeness in the world, comes remarkably close."
This realization didn't bring disappointment; instead, it filled Chen Guan with a profound sense of joy.
Although Ji Changsheng might not have bequeathed him material resources, he had certainly left behind an extraordinary wealth of knowledge.
While Chen Guan possessed the capability to vanquish Ninth Awakening Spirits, a lingering apprehension of their unpredictable abilities kept his Secret Law at the 'Invulnerable to All Techniques' status. He hesitated to engage directly with those enigmatic, high-tier Secret Spirits.
However, with the comprehensive Secret Spirit knowledge base bestowed by Ji Changsheng, Chen Guan could now strategically target and hunt these spirits. Even Ninth Awakening Spirits, though demanding careful planning, were no longer an insurmountable challenge.
His gaze swept across the bookshelves once more, and he soon discerned the underlying logic governing their arrangement.
The categories of Blessed Land, Grotto Heaven, and Great Cave Heaven were clearly demarcated into distinct sections. Each of these sections was further subdivided based on three awakening levels, generally following a standard awakening level progression.
Within each designated area, further stratification existed, differentiating between Ordinary, Rare, Uncommon, Unique, Unparalleled, and the supremely esteemed Secret God Quality classes.
Chen Guan navigated his way to the Great Cave Heaven zone. His eyes fell upon the Ninth Awakening Secret God Quality section, where he observed a multitude of archived records.
While the majority of these names were unfamiliar to Chen Guan, a few, like the Celestial Eye Evil God, had reached his ears previously.
