God of Pets

Chapter 792 Hidden Talent

Chen Guan was overjoyed; he finally had a pet that could fight.

Zhao Cai isn't a real pet, and its combat power is too weak. Even though it's awakened to the seventh level, it can only be used as an auxiliary tool occasionally, and it's definitely not reliable in regular battles.

He never expected that the King of Ten Thousand Poisons would be the first pet he awakened to the seventh level.

"I need to travel far and wide to find my disciples. You should cultivate here. I will come back to take you away when I return to the Sky Secret Realm," Chen Guan said to Tai Sheng after he finished using the Chaotian Sacred Lake.

Upon hearing this, Tai Sheng quickly replied, "This disciple can follow Master's side and serve you tea and water."

Chen Guan thought to himself, "I'm just an empty shell of an official now. I can only pretend to be a god by relying on the secret laws of Consort Ming. If this goes on for too long, they'll probably see through me. I can't stay here for long. Otherwise, do you think I don't want to have free labor?"

"With you by my side, how can I test my disciples if others see you?" Chen Guan smiled and said, "Just focus on your cultivation here. Now that I've accepted you, I'll naturally take you with me when we return to the Sky Secret Realm. Don't worry."

"Master, I naturally believe in you, but without your guidance, I am at a loss and don't know how to continue. I have not yet reached the Tenth Awakening stage. When will I be able to become your formal disciple?" Tai Sheng hurriedly bowed.

Chen Guan knew that if he didn't say something, it would be difficult to shake him off.

Then, feigning a profound smile, he said, "My dear disciple, I have already made plans for you. The secrets of the Dharma are not to be passed on to six ears. Come closer and listen to me."

Tai Sheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly moved closer to Chen Guan, putting his ear close to his.

Chen Guan whispered in its ear, “Great Sage, the reason I said your aptitude was not good and designed a test for you was to see if your heart was sincere in wanting to become my disciple. Now that you have passed the test, I will no longer hide it from you. Your aptitude is so high that I have never seen it before. Even in the Sky Secret Realm, it is rare to see such aptitude. That is why I accepted you as my disciple.”

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Tai Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, almost unable to believe it. A grin spread across his face as he thought to himself, "So my talent is this good?"

"However, there are two kinds of talent. One is explicit talent, which is the talent that can be seen by the naked eye of ordinary living beings. For example, extremely high physical fitness, innate ability to compete, strong learning ability, and the ability to learn anything quickly and understand it immediately, etc."

"There is another type of talent, which is a latent talent. This talent is not visible and seems to have no effect. However, once this talent is activated, it will be extraordinary."

"Obvious talents can only give a creature an advantage, but if one wants to become an unparalleled supreme spirit, one must have hidden talents."

"And you, my disciple Tai Sheng, possess hidden talents. As long as you can activate them, you will soon be able to ascend to the heavens. Not to mention the Evil King or the Tearless Asura, even in the Sky Secret Realm, you will have a place and become a sky overlord in the future."

"One side...the sky...overlord..." Tai Sheng's already large and bulging eyes widened even more, with golden light flashing inside.

"Master, how can I awaken my hidden talent? Please teach me." Tai Sheng kowtowed and bowed.

"It is extremely difficult to unleash latent talents. Many beings with latent talents spend their entire lives sitting on a treasure without being able to use it freely. The saying 'A thousand-mile horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare' illustrates this point. Even if you have latent talents, you may not be able to discover them yourself. You need someone to guide and lead you in order to have a chance to unleash your latent talents."

“I’ve already planned this out for you. Look over there.” Chen Guan pointed to the end of the desert and asked. “It’s still desert over there,” Tai Sheng said after looking carefully, but quickly changed his mind, “There’s also sky and sun over there.”

“That’s right, but these are all things you can see with your naked eye.” Chen Guan smiled sanctimoniously. “You can watch from here. If one day you can see things that you can’t see with your naked eye, then you will have succeeded, which means that your hidden talent has been awakened.”

"Please enlighten me, Master, what is that unseen thing?" Tai Sheng asked hurriedly.

"It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. Only what you realize yourself is truly yours. If I tell you, you will never be able to grasp its true essence again." Chen Guan paused, then pointed to Tai Sheng's heart and continued, "You only need to remember that you need to use your eyes to see, but not to judge. You need to use this place to comprehend. The eye of the heart is the eye of heaven."

"Alright, disciple, you must cultivate diligently. When I return, I hope you will have developed your hidden talent." Chen Guan waved his hand, not letting Tai Sheng say anything more, and then turned and left.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely cultivate diligently, awaken my hidden talent as soon as possible, advance to the tenth awakening, and follow you back to the Sky Secret Realm." Tai Sheng waved his frog claws and shouted to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan didn't turn around, waved his hand, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Mingfei's secret laws only take effect when others enter the scope of her secret laws, and she can only copy the abilities that others have used.

This is similar to Xiu Jieming's third stage of returning to one's true nature; both require enduring an ordeal before they can take effect, which is quite passive.

Chen Guan was afraid that before he could even imitate it, the enemy's abilities would instantly defeat him.

For example, the Sand Serpent's secret law: if he gets within seven steps of the Sand Serpent, he will already be poisoned and about to die; there's no point in trying to imitate it.

Moreover, what is imitated is not always effective; it is only temporary and difficult to sustain.

However, once Chen Guan gains the ability to protect himself, Mingfei's ability will become extremely abnormal.

Of course, he is still very strong now. With Mingfei by his side, as long as the opponent doesn't kill Chen Guan in one hit, even if he encounters a Nine-Senses Mystic Spirit, Chen Guan can put up a fight against it.

However, with the blessing of the secret realm, the Nine-Senses Mystic Spirit's body and vital energy have been strengthened twice more, and with the power of the last secret treasure, it is indeed not easy to deal with.

The last secret treasure, also known as the ultimate move, is the final summary of one's own cultivation. Generally speaking, its power is the strongest among the three secret treasures, usually possessing world-destroying power, and it is not easy to deal with.

Furthermore, as one's application and understanding of the Secret Laws gradually matures, the effects of the Secret Laws will also become stronger. In addition, with the enhancement of the Secret Laws by the Secret Realm, the Secret Laws of the Ninth Awakening are much stronger than those of the Seventh Awakening.

Chen Guan felt that he should proceed step by step and not easily challenge those above his level, as that would be gambling with his life.

Therefore, he has now chosen to go to a place in the Tearful Desert where there are many Seven-Awakening Mystic Spirits, and the information he obtained from Tai Sheng is naturally all from him.
