Chen Guan learns how to destroy Sky City from Spirit Devouring God. The plan involves cutting off its energy supply and simultaneously destroying it across timelines, a task that requires Chen Guan to destroy six foundational Towers of the Sky within a limited time. To aid him, Spirit Devouring God will overlay soul memories, making everyone remember Sky Garden instead of Sky City. Chen Guan is entrusted with this mission due to his unique bloodline and is granted access to special realms to train chosen helpers, including the Celestial Kings, to confront the towers.

"Chen Guan?" When the King of Palace saw Chen Guan, his face immediately filled with anger.

However, very soon, the King of Palace laughed with relief: "You have your day too?"

After being captured by the Spirit Devouring God, he was forced to become a filter, which he naturally disliked.

Although he could filter the depleting energy here and absorb high-level energy flowing through Sky City, rapidly increasing his level.

But the accumulated depleting energy in his body would grow, causing irreversible damage and impact on the body.

Seeing Chen Guan here now, his heart felt a bit delighted, thinking that Chen Guan was also captured to be a filter here.

"King of Palace, it seems you have a big misunderstanding about me." Chen Guan said calmly.

The King of Palace scoffed: "Do you dare say you’re not the demon from the Immortal Mountain Sect? It doesn’t matter if you deny it, you can fool others but not me."

"I haven’t denied it," Chen Guan smiled and said, "What I mean is that you misunderstood me. Although we are both here, you are here working as a horse and ox, and I am not."

"If not a horse or ox, then what are you here for?" The King of Palace scoffed, as any human coming here had to be a filter.

"Of course, I’m here to choose horses and oxen. How about it, do you want to escape this miserable sea? As long as you apologize to me, I can consider saving you. It’s better than being a filter here, right?" Chen Guan looked at the King of Palace with a smile.

"You underestimate me, King of Palace. Do you think those words can fool me?" The King of Palace sneered contemptuously.

As the King of Palace spoke, a figure entered the Sky Garden and flew towards them.

Ordinary humans couldn’t freely enter the Sky Garden, so that figure was conspicuous. When the King of Palace saw who it was, a smile appeared on his face.

In recent years, few humans were brought into the Sky Garden by the Spirit Devouring God, and the King of Palace only knew Ji Changsheng, with whom he could talk.

But Ji Changsheng was different. When he ascended, he had already created the ten-sense secret technique, and the technique he created was quite powerful. After mastering the ten senses, the unity of man and technique was achieved, and his ability reached an extremely high level, thus being heavily used by the Spirit Devouring God, assigned to guard the Sky Track, without needing to be a filter here.

Although both were celestial kings, their circumstances were very different.

Seeing Ji Changsheng land nearby and approach them, the King of Palace initially thought Ji Changsheng came for him.

Yet Ji Changsheng walked before Chen Guan and saluted, addressing him as "Teacher."

Chen Guan also did not conceal this fact, and didn’t find the title teacher from Ji Changsheng surprising or inappropriate.

The King of Palace’s expression changed at the scene.

Ji Changsheng glanced at King of Palace and continued speaking to Chen Guan: "I have received an order from the Spirit Devouring God to follow your command in everything."

Upon hearing this, the King of Palace’s expression became even more unpleasant.

He endured humiliation here only to survive and avenge the destruction of the Gong Family, and to return all the humiliation Jin Taohua gave him.

Even in this environment, he struggled to cultivate, awaiting the day Jin Taohua would ascend the ten senses and be brought back by the Spirit Devouring God, so he could settle blood debts.

But now, with Chen Guan here, even if Jin Taohua arrives, he won’t have the chance to harm a hair on Jin Taohua.

"I should have realized sooner, why the Spirit Devouring God only took us but didn’t capture you and your people to the Celestial Secret Realm. You indeed have been colluding with the Spirit Devouring God..." King of Palace’s expression was dark.

"King of Palace, let’s skip the nonsense. I only ask if you want to leave here?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"If leaving here requires me to submit to you, I would rather stay here," King of Palace said blankly.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. Let’s go," Chen Guan said, uninterested in arguing with King of Palace.

Since he was unwilling to work, he could continue being a filter here.

In Chen Guan’s plans, King of Palace’s participation wasn’t necessary.

Chen Guan and Ji Changsheng proceeded to where the Wind King was.

According to the Spirit Devouring God, the Wind King wasn’t in the Sky Garden, and they had to go to Sky City to find her.

The Spirit Devouring God initially brought the Wind King back to make her a filter.

Due to some issues within Sky City, and the Wind King’s ability being of use, she was temporarily placed inside Sky City.

The entirety of Sky City resembled a huge skyscraper, with each brick being a massive city, stacking thousands of cities together.

Chen Guan and Ji Changsheng arrived at the Wind King’s place and saw her using her wind power to provide propulsion to Sky City.

Sky City wasn’t fixed in one location. It moved continuously along a void track, resembling stars.

Sometimes, when a change in Sky City’s path was needed, special power had to be used for artificial intervention.

The Wind King’s power was useful for moving Sky City, described nicely as providing power to Sky City.

In harsher terms, she was a human-powered charger or someone pulling a cart.

Even sadder, many people in Sky City were like her, merely one among many, not considered special.

The Wind King’s days were worse than King of Palace’s. At least King of Palace could absorb energy, increasing his level.

The Wind King gained nothing, only working every day.

So when Chen Guan brought Ji Changsheng here, the Wind King was easily persuaded.

After recruiting Ji Changsheng and the Wind King, Chen Guan began preparing to return to the Divine Land to select people.

The Immortal Mountain Sect’s resources were limited, unable to let too many people ascend to ten senses, nor were there resources to achieve hundred-level perfection.

This time, with the Spirit Devouring God willing to provide resources, Chen Guan certainly wouldn’t be polite. He would bring in as many people as possible.

Get more hundred-level cultivators, in case the Spirit Devouring God has any schemes, more people equate to more strength in response.

Regarding the Ten Great Families, Chen Guan assigned Ji Changsheng and the Wind King to explain the situation to them, while he went to find another person.

In Night Shanghai, the most luxurious place outside the Ancestral Court, Qing Ya sat elegantly in the boss’s seat, comfortably enjoying fresh Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Night Shanghai had already changed hands, the new boss being Qing Ya.

As Qing Ya comfortably dreamed about the future, her face abruptly changed, suddenly springing from the boss chair, holding two daggers and staring intently at the figure opposite her.

With her cultivation and ability, she hadn’t noticed when the person opposite her appeared, completely unaware before opening her eyes.

"It’s you?" Recognizing the silhouette, Qing Ya relaxed, not adopting an attack stance, because she knew who it was.

Chen Guan turned around, looking at Qing Ya, saying: "I am about to do something very dangerous and need your help, come with me."

"Do I have the choice?" Qing Ya asked helplessly.

"No," Chen Guan answered sternly.

"At least tell me what you want me to do?" Qing Ya reluctantly asked.

"You need to help me push down a tower, a tower only you can push down." Chen Guan was not entirely flattering Qing Ya; within the Sky Tower was indeed a tower, and with Qing Ya’s power, it was more easily pushed down.

That tower was one of the six towers, the Tower of Destiny, and Qing Ya, as the Life Player, was the best weapon against the Tower of Destiny.
