God of Pets

Chapter 481 The Wall of Sighs
Chen Guan put the Frost White Crow away. He had originally thought that with such a pet, he wouldn't need to rely on the Sea Patrol Giant Turtle anymore. He could kill the Sea Patrol Giant Turtle and see if it would become a pet.

We can only hold off for now; the giant sea turtle cannot be killed for the time being.

The members of the Flying Dragon Knights all breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that Chen Guan would have to rely on them for the time being.

They continued their advance toward the Wall of Sighs, and those knights who deserted without orders were severely punished.

It wasn't just Chen Guan who wanted to punish them; even high-ranking officials like Gong Mingwang couldn't tolerate such behavior.

Such disobedience and unauthorized actions are no different from desertion, and only severe punishment can govern the army.

Places like the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm are really easy to make people depressed. Often, you can't see anything for ten days or half a month. Being able to encounter a spirit is a very exciting thing.

They didn't encounter any more giant spirits on the way, but they did come across a group of flying lions, about twenty or thirty in number. The dragon knights dealt with them, and they didn't get any pets, but they did get a few secret skill cores.

Chen Guan had no time to care about any of that. After nearly a month of arduous travel, he finally saw the Wall of Sighs they had spoken of.

It's strange that there's nothing in front of you, yet you can't clearly see what's there.

Chen Guan focused his vital energy into his eyes, trying to see what was there, but the result was the same; all he saw was a chaotic void.

"This is the Wall of Sighs," Gong Mingwang said as he approached Chen Guan.

"Interesting," Chen Guan said, gazing at the void.

“There’s something even more interesting,” Gong Mingwang said, taking out a bow and arrow, drawing back the bowstring, and shooting an arrow toward the Wall of Sighs.

The arrow struck nothingness and remained frozen in mid-air.

The next second, the arrow suddenly burst into flames and disintegrated almost instantly while burning.

This isn't a form of combustion like firewood or paper; it's more like potassium burning on water.

“That was an arrow made using the bones of a peerless spirit,” Gong Mingwang said.

"Does this happen when anything touches the Wall of Sighs?" Chen Guan knew what Gong Mingwang meant; he was warning him not to try to let the giant sea turtle get close to the Wall of Sighs.

"That's right. Before anyone knew about the Wailing Wall, if someone accidentally encountered it, their fate would be the same as that arrow: their burning body would be almost impossible to extinguish unless they made a desperate sacrifice," Gong Mingwang said.

"Interesting." Chen Guan ordered his soldiers to summon flying pets to rush towards the Wall of Sighs. The moment they touched that void, the pets' bodies burst into flames.

The dazzling flames on their bodies were indeed difficult to extinguish; one could only watch helplessly as their bodies exploded and burned like fireworks, disintegrating in the flames.

"Retreat thirty miles and rest for now," Chen Guan ordered, causing the giant tortoise to retreat a distance to avoid accidentally crashing into the Wall of Sighs.

“Is it necessary to stay here? It’s too dangerous here,” Gong Mingwang said.

"I have my own plans." Chen Guan sent Gong Mingwang to carry out his orders, and then summoned Chu Yutian.

"You saw the experiment just now, right?" Chen Guan said calmly.

“I see. Breaking through the Wailing Wall is indeed not an easy task,” Chu Yutian nodded.

"This isn't a question of whether it's easy or not, it's very dangerous. If things go wrong, I could lose my life, and it might even destroy my sword spirit," Chen Guan said coldly.

"Whether you do it or not is your decision. If I had to choose, I would rather take the risk because I have no choice. If I don't get those rare treasures, I won't be able to continue my cultivation path, so I have no choice but to gamble."

Chu Yutian paused, then said, "However, it's understandable that you don't have such a need and don't want to take the risk. The decision is yours." "How could I not have a need? I need more than you do," Chen Guan thought to himself, but then asked aloud, "Can you see what's behind the Wailing Wall right now?"

“I’ve already looked. Behind this wall are countless rare and precious herbs, exactly the same as the ones I saw last time. There are countless kinds of ginseng, lingzhi, and cinnabar fruits, just like wheat in the field,” Chu Yutian said.

"Is even the location distribution exactly the same as what you saw before?" Chen Guan frowned.

Chu Yutian understood Chen Guan's meaning and shook his head, saying, "The distribution is different; I was just describing how many rare and precious materials are inside."

"You described them as wheat fields, is it because they are distributed in an orderly manner?" Chen Guan thought for a moment and then asked.

“That’s right, they’re all very neatly arranged.” Chu Yutian thought for a moment and nodded.

"Is it possible that those rare and precious materials were actually cultivated by humans?" Chen Guan asked Chu Yutian.

Chu Yutian was slightly taken aback: "That's unlikely. Who has the ability to grow rare and precious materials in a place like this? Besides, no one has ever been able to break through the Wall of Sighs before, so how could they go in to grow things? Moreover, I haven't seen any human figures behind the Wall of Sighs."

"If it's not human, then what about the Mystic Spirit?" Chen Guan said calmly.

"Can the Mystic Spirit grow things?" Chu Yutian had never seen it before.

Chen Guan didn't say anything more. Chu Yutian was, after all, from a humble background and had limited experience.

That Soul Devouring God is a mysterious spirit capable of cultivating rare and precious materials; its farming ability far surpasses that of humans.

Although Chen Guan had never seen the Devouring Spirit God plant crops, he was a beneficiary of it.

"A giant mystic is approaching..." the messenger reported loudly from afar.

Chen looked into the void and indeed saw a figure approaching. The figure grew larger and larger, looking no smaller than the giant sea turtle. Moreover, there were more than one such figure; there were three in total.

All three are giant mystic spirits, with the one in front being the smallest, yet it is already about the same size as the giant sea turtle.

The largest one is almost twice the size of the giant sea turtle.

The three giant mystic species are all different, and you can see human figures on their backs.

Unlike the Dragon Knights, each of the three giant spirits carried only one person, meaning each person was piloting a giant spirit.

“That’s the Qin family’s Giant Pet Legion… How did they end up here…” Gong Mingwang recognized the origin of the person on the giant pet’s back, and his expression changed slightly.

Chen Guan was also examining the people on the three giant pets, and he actually recognized one of them.

"Isn't that Qin Qiu from the Qin family? Why is he here?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised.

Given how vast the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm is, it's hard for Chen Guan to believe that he stumbled upon it by accident.

But it seems a bit odd to say that Qin Qiu came specifically to deal with him. He had already disguised himself, and Qin Qiu probably wouldn't recognize him even if he were face to face. Why would he come here specifically to target him?

Moreover, he had no grudge against Qin Qiu, so Qin Qiu had no reason to deal with him.

"Gong Mingwang, why don't you come out and greet me? Is this how your Gong family treats its guests?" Qin Qiu said, standing atop the largest black dragon spirit and looking at Gong Mingwang on the turtle's back.
