Chapter 937: Chapter 937: Sky City
The secret spirits and humans in the Earth Secret Realm are merely beasts used for experiments by the Sky Secret Spirits.
Just like humans keep venomous snakes and fierce beasts for captivity and experimentation, humans also fear being harmed by these venomous beasts, but it doesn’t mean humans lack the ability to subdue these beasts.
Or perhaps what humans fear the most is not the power of these venomous snakes and beasts, but rather the drugs humans experiment with on these creatures.
If a virus-infected experimental subject escapes from the lab, everyone aware of the incident will first feel fear, followed by attempts to stop the spread of the virus, with the best method naturally being to kill the virus-carrying subject.
Things might not be exactly the same, but the logic remains the same.
The cleansing of humans and Earth Secret Spirits is merely the Sky Secret Spirits clearing out failed subjects to make space for a new round of experiments.
Humanity and Earth Secret Spirits can rise again, not because the Sky Secret Spirits lack the ability to completely obliterate them, but because they are refining more successful works.
Those who can be taken into the Celestial Secret Realm by the Spirit Devouring God should be considered successful experimental subjects, at least in some aspect, though their fate remains unknown.
Previous generations of humans and secret spirits were merely failures, unworthy even of entering the Celestial Secret Realm.
Even powerful beings like the Netherworld Emperor could only deal injuries to the lab workers, suffering severe wounds themselves and surviving in the shadows.
"Have you heard of the million Great Qin Iron Cavalry charging into the Sky Secret Spirit?" Chen Guan asked again.
"I heard there was a major incident once, where many experimental subjects escaped, injuring many secret spirits and causing significant loss..." Long Li didn’t know much, as she was born after the incident, only having heard of it.
According to the information she mentioned, it should be Emperor Ancestor and the million Great Qin Iron Cavalry.
Chen Guan asked Long Li what happened to those people afterwards, and Long Li only shook her head, saying she didn’t know.
She only knows the Sky City intervened to suppress the incident, but as for what happened to those humans afterward, Long Li is unaware.
Speculating, since they were suppressed, Emperor Ancestor and those Great Qin Iron Cavalry were likely doomed.
Chen Guan kept asking about details and matters of the Celestial Secret Realm, trying to extract as much useful information as possible.
Unfortunately, Long Li is just a young member of the Celestial Dragon Race, born just over fifty years ago. Considering their racial characteristics, she isn’t even an adult yet, and it’s her first time leaving the Celestial Dragon Race.
She secretly came to the Biluo Star Domain to find her father.
Long Li knows limited matters, having only heard of some significant events, but for Chen Guan, it’s enough to gain a general understanding of the Celestial Secret Realm.
When asked about the Spirit Devouring God, Long Li could only shake her head, knowing only that the Spirit Devouring God is a resident of Sky City and the manager of the Earth Secret Realm experiment project.
Secret spirits allowed into Sky City are elites among their races, though some races scarcely have any kin, and Long Li hadn’t heard of any other secret spirit from the same race besides the Spirit Devouring God.
Chen Guan asked again why the Sky Secret Spirits conducted such experiments, but Long Li doesn’t know, only suggesting it might be to develop a method to strengthen the Sky Secret Spirits.
The Sky Secret Spirits conducting such experiments likely isn’t aimed at extending life span, as their lives are already exceedingly long, unless they reproduce, they rarely die of old age.
Chen Guan realized he couldn’t obtain the answers he desired from Long Li.
To know more, he would need to travel to Sky City, where perhaps people there understand why such experiments are conducted.
Of course, the most convenient would be to seek out the Spirit Devouring God, as being the project manager, it must be aware of everything.
Chen Guan dare not approach the Spirit Devouring God yet, having witnessed it suppressing the Celestial King’s methods, aware his current abilities are no match for such an entity.
Thus, Chen Guan asked Long Li about the cultivation techniques of the Sky Secret Spirits.
Unexpectedly for Chen Guan, the Sky Secret Spirits possess various cultivation secret techniques, which aren’t innate but created by the Sky Secret Spirits themselves, completely different from Earth Secret Spirits.
Chen Guan stayed a few days to clarify every bit of intelligence he could extract from Long Li.
Currently, significant issues have arisen within the Celestial Dragon People; initially stationed at Sky City, the Celestial Dragon People have died, now the race must select a new member to enter Sky City and become its resident, or lose their voice in Sky City.
To become a resident of Sky City, aside from having race recommendations, one must pass Sky City’s tests.
Weak races lacking abilities meeting Sky City’s standards aren’t even qualified to become residents, let alone have voting rights or a say.
Previously, the Celestial Dragon People already sent a member to Sky City for testing.
They thought it would surely succeed, but results turned to failure, now the Celestial Dragon People are troubled about who should attempt the test to pass.
They only have three chances, if all fail, the Celestial Dragon People’s seat at Sky City will be revoked until the next resident selection.
Long Li’s father, one of their top experts, is highly favored for such an opportunity, but hasn’t returned, prompting Long Li to search, unwilling for her father to miss the chance.
"Unfortunately, your father can no longer return," Chen Guan thought as he gazed at the hollow-eyed Long Li.
Humans in the Celestial Secret Realm are akin to rats in the street, liable to be attacked by anyone on sight. If he wanders alone in the Celestial Secret Realm, he will eventually be besieged by Sky Secret Spirits.
"Miao Shan’s master should know the truth, thus scaring them, keeping them from easily leaving the Immortal Mountain Sect. However, Miao Shan’s current abilities rank among the peaks in the Celestial Secret Realm, that 99-level Golden War God wasn’t exaggerating, and he is considered a master of the Void Secret Realm, with strength among top-tier entities in the Celestial Secret Realm, yet Miao Shan and the others could kill him in seconds, revealing the power of Miao Shan and the four... No, I must find Miao Shan and the others..."
