Chen Guan and Ji Nanhong arrive at the terrifying Exhaustion Area, a place of absolute stillness where matter disintegrates. Chen Guan tests the area's power on his pets and a captured human, Zheng Zhiguo, confirming that while humans have some resistance, the area rapidly consumes all life. Chen Guan then attempts to use his Creation World to harness the Exhaustion Area's power.

When the power of the Creation World surged into the Exhaustion Area, Chen Guan was already overjoyed.

The Exhaustion Area did not cause the power of the Creation World to dissipate. Instead, as the power rushed into the area, it slowly began to decompose the region, which was chaotic like, transforming it into World Power, continuously extracting it.

Though the decomposition was relatively slow, it was indeed possible to decompose it.

Even Chen Guan himself did not expect that the Creation World would be so useful.

This meant that Chen Guan did not need to fear the exhaustion energy at all. Even if the Spirit Devouring God had some plot to make him suffer from the erosion of the exhaustion energy, Chen Guan could easily resolve it.

With this in mind, Chen Guan felt assured.

Even without destroying the Sky City, he could use the power of the Creation World to stop the spread of the Exhaustion Area.

Theoretically, it seemed that he no longer needed the Spirit Devouring God's plan.

However, Chen Guan had no intention to stop the Spirit Devouring God. He was more curious to see if the Spirit Devouring God really only wanted to do this.

With a thought, Chen Guan, along with Ji Nanhong, charged into the Exhaustion Area.

He was heading to the depths of the Exhaustion Area to transform energy, a place where the Sky Secret Spirit could not perceive, allowing Chen Guan to convert and absorb energy without restraint.

Time passed, and the Exhaustion Area had grown tremendously, spanning unknown star regions.

Chen Guan continuously transformed and absorbed, and his level finally reached Level 90 of the Ninth Awakening, needing to advance further to continue upgrading.

If the Third Secret Collection was about understanding and summarizing oneself, then the Secret Skill is about a Cultivator's understanding of themselves and their relationship with the world.

With the power of the Creation World, Chen Guan's understanding of the world was somewhat different from others.

Others might reach the level, but without enough understanding of the Realm, they couldn't create their own Secret Skill to advance to the Tenth Awakening.

Chen Guan was different. He had long since reached the necessary understanding of the Realm, but his level had stagnated for a while.

Now, it could be said to have been a natural progression. In almost an instant, Chen Guan, using the Secret Technique of One as his foundation, used his abilities and insights as a ladder to the heavens, condensing his own unique Secret Skill.

After advancing to the Tenth Awakening, the Secret Technique transformed into the Secret Skill, truly becoming Chen Guan's own power.

Chen Guan stood casually, with the Primordial Energy flowing as he wished, no longer constrained.

Even without using the Secret Skill, he could freely manipulate the Primordial Energy as he desired.

When using the Secret Skill, the limitation of the Secret Skill's Primordial Energy was directly broken.

Originally, only 10 points of Primordial Energy could be used for the Secret Skill. At most, only 10 points of Primordial Energy could be cast.

But now, as long as Chen Guan wished, he could use ten thousand, a hundred million, a trillion, or even more Primordial Energy to use this Secret Skill, without any restriction and without needing any special Secret Skill.

With his right hand raised, a trace of Spiritual Power surged from Chen Guan's fingertip, continuously interweaving and condensing on his palm, quickly forming the shape of a butterfly.

Remarkably, the moment the Spiritual Power butterfly was completed, it flapped its wings and flew.

It was not controlled by Chen Guan; the Spiritual Power butterfly had genuinely become a living entity, freely soaring in the void.

However, its life was extremely brief, lasting only a few seconds before aging and dying, eventually turning to dust.

Even so, Chen Guan was greatly excited because he held the most powerful force in the world—the power to create life, albeit short-lived, it was indeed the power to create life.

Chen Guan looked inward at his information; the Tenth Awakening had been achieved, and the Secret Skill was named "A Lifetime."

"The power to create life—it seems like you're stealing the Heavens' thunder, which might provoke its wrath." Ji Nanhong expressed some concern.

However, Chen Guan merely smiled faintly: "How high the Heaven is, it is not for us to know. The Heavens we perceive may just be aspects of it, not worthy of worry."

"That's true." Hearing this, Ji Nanhong felt slightly at ease.

Chen Guan had no intentions of leaving. He had just reached the Tenth Awakening at Level 91 and still needed to continue leveling up.

After the Tenth Awakening, each level is a transformative change, corresponding to a complete metamorphosis of the Primordial Energy.

For others, this is a good thing, but for Chen Guan, it's troublesome.

To transform the Primordial Energy, more energy is required.

For the average Cultivator, the energy needed can be easily obtained in the Level 3 Secret Realm, but for Chen Guan, this means he needs more time to refine and absorb energy—and he wondered if the Exhaustion Area could withstand his consumption.

Moreover, the timing might not be ideal, with less than two years left until the arrival of the Sky Secret Spirit.

Chen Guan was unsure whether he could reach the hundred-level consummation within two years.

Since each level up now required an inestimable amount of energy, and using the Creation World required a great deal of time to refine.

Thankfully, with the boost of the Absolute Secret State, Chen Guan directed most of the World Power refined from the Creation World towards leveling up, keeping a small part to maintain the operation of the Creation World, allowing its unlimited use.

Otherwise, waiting for the Creation World to recover, Chen Guan suspected it would take him a thousand years to reach Level 100.

As time went by, Jiang Qiemo and others each cultivated within the Void Secret Realm, advancing rapidly in levels.

With only a few months until the arrival of the Sky Secret Spirit, most had already reached the hundred-level consummation.

Their talent was top-notch; as long as they had sufficient resources, leveling up was not difficult.

With their levels capped, they did not sit idly; instead, they engaged in mutual exchanges to continuously enhance their practical combat abilities and gained a deep understanding of each other's strengths.

Until one day, Zhang Chunxiang had a sudden idea. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to develop a set of army tactics for destroying the Tower of the Sky?

This idea received a lot of support, and they began researching army tactics.

However, these geniuses had differing ideas, and none would abandon their own, so they each pursued their research, or collaborated with like-minded individuals.

Originally, this was not an issue, the real problem arose when Jiang Qiemo and Qin Ziyu used their researched army tactics while in their Absolute Secret States, which resulted in something bizarre.

While using the army tactics, they entered each other's Absolute Secret States, sharing the state.

This discovery excited them both greatly; for others, they might hesitate to let others experience their Absolute Secret State.

But these two did not have such concerns, sharing experiences and insights, and continuously researching how to share the Absolute Secret State, gradually developing a combined attack technique with stacking Absolute Secret States.
