God of Pets

Chapter 632 A Leaf

Chen Guan was not surprised by Da Daojiu's statement.

Based on previous information about the Netherworld Emperor, he is indeed different from ordinary spirits.

The Yellow Springs River, which runs through many secret realms, and the eerie and mysterious Netherworld Sea, make it hard to imagine what kind of being the Netherworld Emperor really is.

"How can I find the Great Dao Pestle?" Chen Guan was now more concerned about how to quickly develop his five senses.

The Great Dao Mortar is the core treasure of the Great Cave Heaven, and can be said to be the strongest treasure in the secret realm.

If it could be used as a divinely ordained treasure, that would be the best outcome.

“We were scattered during the great battle and lost contact, but there is still a mysterious connection between us that is not clearly understood. I can sense it, and it should be within the Great Cave Heaven,” said Da Dao Jiu.

Chen Guan was dumbfounded upon hearing this: "The Great Cave Heaven? How could I possibly obtain it?"

He needs the Seventh Sense to enter the Great Cave Heaven, but he can't use it now no matter what.

As for sending someone to find the Great Dao Pestle, let alone the fact that Chen Guan doesn't know anyone in the Great Cave Heaven, even if he does know someone, would they be able to bring the Great Dao Pestle back to him once they find it?
Moreover, to find the Great Dao Pestle, one also needs the Great Dao Mortar to sense it; otherwise, it's unknown when it will be found.

The risk is even greater if the fundamental principles are handed over to others.

Based on this alone, Chen Guan didn't think he had a chance of obtaining the Great Dao Pestle.

“It’s difficult. I can only sense its presence, but I can’t pinpoint its exact location,” Da Daojiu said.

Chen Guan frowned slightly and remained silent.

Dao Daojiu then added, "Actually, if you don't choose me as your destiny treasure, perhaps you have an even better option."

"What's a better option?" Chen Guan asked.

Dao Daojiu said, "Back then, when those terrifying beings of the Sky Spirits suppressed and defeated the Netherworld Emperor, they also paid a price. Some of the Sky Spirits' treasures were knocked down, shattered, or even destroyed."

“I once saw the Netherworld Emperor knock down and suppress an extremely terrifying treasure. That treasure is in a secret realm. If you can find it and get it out, you can refine it into a Heavenly Mandate Treasure,” said Da Dao Jiu.

Chen Guan pondered for a moment and said, "How powerful could a secret treasure that has been knocked down and suppressed be?"

"No, no, no, this is not the same concept. It's like a knife. No matter how sharp the knife is, it can be inserted into a scabbard, which confines its sharpness. When it's in the scabbard, its sharpness is not diminished."

Dao Daojiu recalled: "The fact that an existence like the Netherworld Emperor suppressed it from the beginning shows that the thing posed the greatest threat to the Netherworld Emperor. Moreover, the fact that it was only suppressed and not destroyed shows that the Netherworld Emperor could not destroy it either."

"The power of a treasure itself is only one part of the equation. It also depends on how strong the user is and whether it can be countered by other treasures. Therefore, the strength of a treasure is very complex and cannot be discussed in isolation."

“I have personally witnessed the power of this celestial treasure I am talking about. Even when I and the Great Dao Pestle were not separated, I would probably have had a hard time gaining the upper hand if we encountered it, and might even have been unable to defeat it.” “What exactly is this celestial treasure?” Chen Guan became somewhat interested.

“That’s a leaf,” Da Daojiu said.

"A leaf?" Chen Guan imagined all sorts of possibilities, but he never thought it would be a leaf.

"Yes, it was just a leaf, neither gold nor jade, neither paper nor mud, just a dry, yellowed, even filthy and blackened leaf." Da Dao Jiu recalled, "That sky spirit simply placed the leaf in front of its eyes, covering one eye, and then many powerful earth spirits and treasures that were originally in front of it were wiped out out of thin air, without leaving a trace, directly erasing a void."

"At that time, the Sky Spirit that possessed the Leaf Treasure only used it once. After that, it didn't have a chance to make a move again because there were too many powerful Sky Spirits, and it was simply not its turn to act. When the Netherworld Emperor arrived, he was the first to smash the Sky Spirit and suppress the Leaf Treasure, without giving it a chance to act at all."

Chen Guan was greatly surprised upon hearing this: "Is this a case of being blinded by a leaf? Even if it is, it only means that you can't see it yourself; the thing still exists. How could it be erased?"

"Its power is not from my system, and I cannot understand it, but I am certain that it is incredibly powerful." Dao Jiu urged, "I know where it is suppressed. If you are interested, I can take you there."

Chen Guan knew that the Great Dao Mortar did not want to become his destiny treasure, and the reason it recommended it so strongly was that it wanted to escape.

However, the Dao Dao Jiu itself is indeed incomplete, lacking key components.

Moreover, if the treasure in the leaf is truly as Dao Dajiu described, it is not something that cannot be considered.

"We'll talk about this later. First, tell me what your rule-based abilities are?" Chen Guan wanted to figure out the true function of the Great Dao Mortar.

"Creating life." Daojiu's voice suddenly seemed to have become somewhat lofty: "You can call it the Creator."

Chen Guan had long suspected this: "So, you can use that yellow clay to create anything?"

"Pretty much, but creation isn't just a figment of imagination. If you want to create something, you have to pay an equal price, especially when creating life. If you pay the price of your life, you can convert it one-to-one."

"If we don't use life as the price, but instead use other forms of energy, then we would have to expend an unimaginable amount of energy to transform and create a living organism."

"What if it's not a living being? What if I just want to create a secret treasure?" Chen Guan asked again.

“Treasures are essentially living beings, and the price is the same. From the perspective of the rules, all matter is a living entity, only the way of survival is different.”

Da Daojiu paused for a moment and then said, "However, some elements are easier to create and consume less energy, but that's only relative. It's best to use life as a sacrifice to complete the replication."

"Back then, I was invincible in the great war. My master sacrificed the Sky Spirit to create an incomparably powerful legion, which terrified even the Sky Spirit..." As Da Daojiu spoke, his voice gradually weakened, as if he had thought of something.

Chen Guan didn't point it out, but simply asked, "Is it possible to use other people as sacrifices?"

“That requires the Great Dao Pestle to work with; I cannot complete it on my own,” the Great Dao Mortar quickly said. “Besides that, you can also use energy containing the attribute of life to create. I sense that your own primordial energy contains the attribute of life, and it can also be used to create. However, your current primordial energy is too little; this small amount is insufficient to create something that will be helpful to you.”
