God of Pets Chapter 862: Where Is This Place?

Uncomprehending of Ji Changsheng’s unusual choice, Chen Guan observed intently for some time.

It was indeed a woman possessing skin like polished jade, with a face so exquisite it seemed to emit a sacred luminescence from her entire being.

Even though the majority of her form was concealed beneath the water’s surface, rendering a clear view impossible, the portion visible above the pool was sufficient to confirm her as the absolute pinnacle of feminine beauty.

Her features—those brows, that countenance, that flawless skin—were truly a sight for which one might search a lifetime.

"They say individuals of the upper echelons harbor peculiar habits, best left shrouded in mystery. I never anticipated Ji Changsheng’s predilection would manifest in such a manner. I wonder whose daughter he is secretly observing. Judging by her appearance and bearing, she surely hails from a respectable lineage, and her age likely falls within the twenty to thirty-year range..." Chen Guan mused silently as he watched.

"It’s not that I desire to watch; I merely wish to ascertain what sort of woman the Celestial King finds himself drawn to observing, thereby gaining insight into Ji Changsheng’s aesthetic preferences," Chen Guan convinced himself.

He contemplated remaining until the woman concluded her ablutions, eager to scrutinize the true appearance of the Celestial King’s chosen subjects of observation.

However, after an extended period of watching, the woman remained submerged in the pool with her eyes closed, presenting an image akin to one in a deep slumber.

While Chen Guan engaged in his own wry commentary regarding Ji Changsheng, a subtle premonition suggested that Ji Changsheng was not merely engaged in idleness, and that the situation held deeper implications than simple observation.

As in previous instances, if Ji Changsheng’s intent was to spy on women, his formidable capabilities would have allowed him to do so with effortless ease. Why, then, construct such an elaborate contraption as this massive telescope, rather than employing a Secret Skill?

It was evident that a distinct purpose lay behind this elaborate setup.

After a brief period of investigation, Chen Guan discovered an interface for adjusting the telescope’s trajectory. He manipulated the controls, and while the achievable angle was indeed restrictive, it granted him the ability to perceive other elements within the scenery.

The platform was bordered by a sheer mountain wall, and the terrain beneath the platform consisted of a similar precipitous rock face. Furthermore, the water within the pool cascaded down this rock face, forming a delicate waterfall.

Beyond the mountains lay a vast expanse of rolling Cloud Sea, its depth indeterminable.

Regrettably, the limited range of the lens adjustment meant that only these features could be discerned.

Chen Guan reoriented the lens back towards the pool, only to find the woman still reclining with her eyes shut, immersed in her bath.

Were it not for the gentle undulation of her chest rising and falling within the water, Chen Guan might have easily concluded she was deceased.

Despite his prolonged observation, Chen Guan remained unable to decipher Ji Changsheng’s ultimate objective.

"Could it be that Ji Changsheng simply indulged in spying on women as a pastime, and upon his departure, entrusted this peculiar hobby to me to ensure its continuity?" Chen Guan dismissed this notion as highly improbable.

Amidst his bewilderment, he observed the woman finally fluttering her eyelids open.

Whether it was a mere trick of the light or intentional, Chen Guan perceived that the moment the woman’s eyes opened, she seemed to cast a glance in his general direction. Chen Guan even experienced a fleeting sense of mutual eye contact.

However, due to the extreme brevity of the moment and the woman’s subsequent natural shift of gaze, Chen Guan could not definitively ascertain if she had truly looked his way.

"The telescope is aimed at the pool and the woman, and this vantage point appears to be situated on a separate peak. It is likely the woman was merely observing this adjacent peak," Chen Guan reasoned internally.

As anticipated, subsequent to opening her eyes, the woman slowly began to arise, preparing to exit the pool.

As her form emerged from the water, the ambient clouds beyond the precipice spontaneously coalesced, transforming into ethereal tendrils that gracefully descended to envelop the woman.

These cloud strands swiftly entwined, fashioning garments in the blink of an eye, effectively veiling the woman’s breathtaking beauty as she emerged from the water.

By the time the woman stepped forth from the pool, a flowing robe of cloud silk had completely enshrouded her figure, leaving absolutely nothing exposed.

The woman turned and proceeded directly towards the mountain wall.

Chen Guan was contemplating the potential existence of a concealed mechanism within the mountain wall when he witnessed an utterly astonishing and breathtaking spectacle.

As the woman drew near the mountain wall, the very structure of the mountain began to shift.

It was not merely a section of the mountain wall that moved, but the entirety of the colossal peak itself.

That towering summit appeared to be equipped with a vast system of pulleys beneath it, and it proceeded to slide leftward from the telescope’s perspective.

It was at this precise moment that Chen Guan realized the woman’s bare, delicate feet were not making contact with any solid ground; she was traversing the air, while the Cloud Sea below gathered beneath her feet, forming a straight, ephemeral pathway across the void, extending towards the distant horizon.

With each step the woman advanced, numerous majestic mountains that obstructed the cloud pathway receded, clearing the route and allowing the cloud path to stretch towards a faraway, virtuous peak that resembled an ink-wash painting.

The woman glided along the cloud path with an air of lightness and grace, her pace unhurried, yet she swiftly traversed the expanse between two ranges of mountains, vanishing into the towering peak.

The cloud path dissolved, and the mountains resumed their original positions.

The view through the telescope remained obstructed by the mountain peak, complete with its platform and pool, preventing any further scenery from being observed.

Chen Guan experienced profound shock. While he had previously encountered techniques for moving mountains, the effortless manipulation of entire mountains before him was beyond his comprehension.

The Grand Saint, ranked among the second-tier Secret Spirits in Ninth Awakening, possessed mountain-moving capabilities, yet it required focused effort for a single mountain. However, this woman had merely passed by, and mountains had moved of their own accord—an incredible display of Divine Power.

Lost in thought, he suddenly sensed a surge of Primordial Energy within the cave. This energy visibly manifested as cloud-like and mist-like formations, seeping through the cave's openings.

"This Primordial Energy... it's so pure... almost on par with the Spiritual Power of Nine Reverse Element..." Chen Guan exclaimed, a mix of surprise and delight on his face, before his expression shifted.

A realization dawned upon him: why had no Primordial Energy entered the cave earlier? It was likely because the woman's presence had been monopolizing the ambient Primordial Energy. Now, with her departure, the Primordial Energy had gradually returned to its normal flow.

Therefore, the current concentration of Primordial Energy within the cave represented its standard level.

Never before had Chen Guan heard of any location within the Great Cave Heaven where the ambient Free Elemental Energy could reach such an astonishing density.

Chen Guan entertained a radical idea: "Could this place not be the Great Cave Heaven... but rather... the Celestial Secret Realm...?"

Although this notion seemed far-fetched, Chen Guan found it highly plausible.

Ji Changsheng was clearly not merely an idle observer; establishing such a setup here certainly wasn't just for the purpose of watching that woman.

"If this truly is the Celestial Secret Realm, then who is that woman? She is undeniably human, not a Secret Spirit. How can she exist within the Celestial Secret Realm and wield such immense mountain-moving Divine Power? Is this indeed the legendary Celestial Secret Realm?" Chen Guan's thoughts raced, recalling Ji Changsheng's encounter with the Spirit Devouring God, which led him to the Celestial Secret Realm.

The fact that Ji Changsheng did not appear to resist the Spirit Devouring God struck him as particularly strange.

"If this is the Celestial Secret Realm, then everything makes sense. Ji Changsheng must have already possessed some knowledge of the Celestial Secret Realm, explaining his calm entry..." The more Chen Guan considered it, the more convinced he became.

The Primordial Energy inside the cave intensified, filling the space like clouds and enveloping Chen Guan as if he were wrapped in cotton.
