God of Pets Chapter 864: What’s on the Mountain?

The mountain where Chen Guan was situated remained unmoving from beginning to end.

The woman also didn’t appear to make any attempts to shift it, so his attention was drawn to her actions. He pondered, “What precisely is on this mountain? Why does this woman gaze at it every time she visits?” Chen Guan found it perplexing what made this particular mountain stand out from countless others, warranting the woman’s consistent focus.

“Could it be that the woman uses this mountain for her cultivation, and she observes it before commencing her practice? Perhaps some Secret Technique or cultivation insights are inscribed upon its surface?” Chen Guan engaged in wild conjecture.

Upon further reflection, this seemed improbable. If such valuable knowledge were openly displayed, wouldn't it attract many seekers?

However, he considered, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

After all, apart from the woman, he had not encountered any other beings in this vicinity.

“What truly lies upon this mountain?” This thought intensified his curiosity about it whenever the woman appeared.

Observing closely, the woman was indeed looking at the mountain, yet her gaze wasn't that of someone reading. Her pupils remained fixed on a single point, which is not typical when perusing text.

“If there are no inscriptions, then what is she staring at? Could there be an exceptional Heavenly and Earthly Treasure growing on the mountain, one that she covets, checking its ripeness each time to harvest it immediately?” The more Chen Guan observed, the more his intrigue grew regarding the mountain’s secrets.

As the age-old saying goes, one cannot see Mount Lu’s true form while being on the mountain itself.

Chen Guan devised numerous strategies but could not ascertain what lay upon his mountain.

“I must devise a method to uncover what is on this mountain,” Chen Guan contemplated the possibilities. He realized only one approach could reveal the mountain’s contents.

This method involved altering his Secret Law to grant him the ability to see through objects, thereby penetrating the mountain’s mass to perceive what lay beyond its exterior.

However, employing the power of a Secret Law would inevitably create ripples in the world's rules, potentially alerting others to his actions.

“I cannot simply modify my Secret Law for transparency. I need a pet with enhanced vision capabilities. Then, I must adapt my Secret Law to permit the use of any ability within a specific range without detection, thus masking the transparency Secret Law’s activation,” Chen Guan resolved. All that remained was to acquire a pet possessing vision abilities.

Finding such a pet was not a daunting task for Chen Guan.

Chen Guan escorted Ming Fei back to the Book Hall, commencing his search for pertinent information.

If Chen Guan were to search for information alone, locating a pet with vision traits among the myriad Secret Spirit entries would prove exceedingly difficult.

Fortunately, he had Ming Fei, a pet endowed with the wisdom trait. Ming Fei simply stood in the center of the hall, raised her hands, and the surrounding mist coalesced into a peculiar power. This energy caused books from the hall’s shelves to levitate.

Countless books appeared caught in a whirlwind, swirling around Ming Fei as their pages rapidly flipped during their chaotic dance.

For the first time, Chen Guan perceived the inheritance of knowledge as a tangible entity.

Naturally, apart from Ming Fei, no one else could absorb knowledge in such a fashion.

Chen Guan could clearly discern the rapidly flipping book covers and the text inscribed on them, yet retaining such a vast volume of information in such a brief span was virtually impossible.

At best, he could recall a fragment of it, which was already considered remarkable among average cultivators.

However, when compared to Ming Fei, whose attribute was wisdom, his own recall was naturally insufficient.

Books flew out in succession and were returned to their shelves; within moments, several shelves’ worth of volumes had been perused.

Ming Fei focused her attention on a few specific bookshelves, which contained entries pertaining to the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven Secret Spirits.

Ming Fei's objective was precise: to identify a suitable candidate within the Ji Family’s Great Cave Heaven.

Once Ming Fei returned all the books to their designated places, Chen Guan understood that she had undoubtedly selected a fitting subject.

Ming Fei retrieved the sole remaining book from the air and presented it to Chen Guan.

Upon seeing the three characters on the cover—

The Secret God level Celestial Eye Evil Ghost, while rare, doesn't possess the same materializing gaze as its counterpart. Instead, it can only conjure illusions to cloud minds, and its offensive capabilities are limited to spiritual attacks.

Although not as formidable as the Celestial Eye Evil God, it remains a perilous foe.

The Ji Family indeed incurred significant losses at the hands of a Celestial Eye Evil Ghost during their efforts to establish Evil God Mountain.

Had Ji Changsheng not annihilated the majority of the top-tier Secret Spirits within Evil God Mountain during that fierce confrontation, the Ji Family might not have successfully seized Evil God Mountain, even in the absence of the Celestial Eye Evil God itself.

Naturally, Chen Guan's true objective wasn't a Secret God level Celestial Eye Evil Ghost. He was after an Unparalleled quality Celestial Eye Evil Ghost, also at the Ninth Awakening, typically found around level eighty-one to eighty-four.

On occasion, lower-quality Unparalleled Celestial Eye Evil Ghosts can manifest at level eight, though encountering them is exceptionally rare.

These Unparalleled Celestial Eye Evil Ghosts, despite possessing weaker innate abilities, boast a unique talent known as "Evil Eye Ghost Pupil."

This exceptional talent, while lacking transparency abilities, bestows upon the Celestial Eye Evil Ghost extraordinarily keen vision, similar in function to a Pupil Reading Technique.

In essence, a Celestial Eye Evil Ghost equipped with the Evil Eye Ghost Pupil can lock its gaze onto another creature's eyes, perceiving everything the target sees through its pupils. This observed scene is then projected from the ghost's other eye, much like a miniature projector.

This is an inherent talent, not a Secret Skill. Nevertheless, to preempt any unforeseen complications, Chen Guan planned to subtly adapt his Secret Law. This modification would allow him to leverage the Evil Eye Ghost Pupil's capabilities seamlessly, ensuring the target remained unsuspecting.

However, this entire scheme hinges on a crucial prerequisite: Chen Guan must first acquire a Celestial Eye Evil Ghost as his pet.

This presents a peculiar predicament for Chen Guan. The pets transformed by a Zhao Cai Spirit Medium retain their original cultivation levels; they never revert to the vulnerable state of level one pet infants.

Therefore, Chen Guan's immediate challenge is to locate a remarkably rare level eight Celestial Eye Evil Ghost, successfully bind it as his pet, and then summon it into battle.
