God of Pets

Chapter 825 Words

There are many celestial soldiers in the town, maintaining order. They all appear to be terrifying beings with the power of the ninth level of enlightenment.

Chen Guan made a rough estimate and concluded that there were probably no fewer than several million Mystic Spirits in the town at the foot of the mountain alone.

If such a terrifying mystical force were to launch an attack on human forces within the Great Cave Heaven, humanity would have no ability to resist and would likely only be able to rely on the Heavenly King's protection.

Chen Guan even doubted whether the Heavenly King could protect him.

After making a few inquiries, Chen Guan arrived at the registration office for those who wanted to become disciples of the Holy Mountain.

Here, the spirits lined up in a long queue, waiting to register and enter the trial arena.

The registration process for Wuxiang Divine Palace is simple and straightforward. You don't need to fill in any personal information or anything; they don't care who you are at all.

A stone tablet stands in front of the gate. When you touch the stone tablet, some words will appear on it.

Chen Guan watched for a while and roughly saw characters like "soldier," "general," "commander," "king," "emperor," and "saint." If it showed "soldier," then he would be eliminated immediately and wouldn't even have the qualification to enter the room to participate in the test.

If the character displayed is General, Commander, or King, you can enter the gate to participate in the test.

If one is an emperor or a saint, there will be special celestial soldiers to guide them, allowing them to skip the test and wait for the Celestial Master to summon them to see if they have the opportunity to be accepted as a personal disciple by the Celestial Master.

Chen Guan queued for a long time, but most of the spirits were not named "Soldier," and in fact, spirits with the character "Soldier" were very rare.

Even the secret spirits with the words "general" and "commander" are few here; most have the word "king," a small number have the word "emperor," but the word "saint" is extremely rare.

Chen Guan had been queuing for more than two hours, but he had only seen one mysterious spirit with the character "Saint" on it, who was then respectfully invited inside by the celestial soldiers.

Judging from the expressions and attitudes of the celestial soldiers, he estimated that the secret spirit that had activated the word "saint" would most likely become the Celestial Master's personal disciple in the future.

"I wonder what kind of secret treasure that stone tablet is, and what standards it uses to classify the rank of the spirits? It doesn't seem to be a matter of level. Most of the spirits classified as soldiers seem to be at the ninth level of awakening."

Chen Guan pondered to himself, but for a moment he couldn't figure out the principle behind the stone tablet.

He didn't know if he, as a human, could activate the stone tablet, and if he could, what kind of words it would reveal.

In terms of physical talent, humans are far inferior to the mystical spirits.

Those mysterious spirits who seemed to be exceptionally talented and whose physiques far surpassed those of humans were only rated as soldiers. Chen Guan was somewhat worried that he might be directly kicked out without even qualifying for the entrance test.

When it was Chen Guan's turn, under the command of the immortal soldiers, he arrived in front of the towering stone tablet, which was tens of feet high, and placed his palm on it.

Soon, Chen Guan saw a reaction on the stone tablet. Points of light seeped out from inside the stone tablet and gradually connected to form a character.

Chen Guan was overjoyed. Since a character had appeared, they were already more than halfway there. Moreover, judging from the part that had surfaced, it was definitely not the character for "soldier".

But as more and more of that word appeared, Chen Guan frowned again.

That character is neither soldier, nor general, commander, king, emperor, nor saint; it is simply two strokes that form the character "人" (person).

"A person?" Chen Guan felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.

This stone tablet is actually discriminating against him! Not only did it not give him a rating, but it also revealed his identity right away—it's simply outrageous! Chen Guan hadn't expected this to happen. Seeing all the secret spirits' gazes focused on him, his mind raced, trying to figure out how to escape.

With so many mysterious spirits here, even if he possesses extraordinary abilities, he would likely find it difficult to escape.

"Please follow me." A celestial soldier walked over and said to Chen Guan in a friendly manner.

Seeing that he had no hostility, and that he was the one who had previously guided the immortal soldiers with the characters "Huang" and "Sheng", Chen Guan felt much more at ease and followed him into the gate of the Wuxiang Divine Palace.

"Could it be that the word 'human' doesn't refer to my human identity, but rather, like 'soldier,' 'general,' and 'commander,' is just a ranking?" Chen Guan wondered to himself.

Upon entering the gates of the Wuxiang Divine Palace, one sees the spirits who passed the previous test gathered in this courtyard, categorized by the celestial soldiers, undergoing their second test.

Chen Guan looked around and realized that the test here was not a simple one-size-fits-all approach.

Different grades and varieties of Mystic Spirits have different testing items and completely different scoring standards.

"There must be humans here, right?" Chen Guan's suspicions grew stronger.

The celestial soldiers led Chen Guan across the testing grounds to the palace behind it. After passing through numerous palaces, they brought him into a grand hall.

There are already quite a few secret spirits here. The secret spirits with the characters "Emperor" and "Saint" that Chen Guan saw before are all here.

There were also some that Chen Guan had never seen before, probably because their ranks had already been determined before he joined the queue—they were Emperor and Saint characters.

Chen Guan roughly counted, and there were only eight secret spirits in total here, plus himself, making nine in total.

"Wait here. The Celestial Master will personally summon you. If you are fortunate enough, you will most likely become his personal disciple," the celestial soldier said to Chen Guan in a very friendly manner.

Upon hearing this, all the other spirits fixed their gazes on Chen Guan.

“He is most likely a disciple personally taught by the Celestial Master. Could he also be a Saint?” A magnificent lion, its entire body gleaming with golden light, its eyes flashing with golden light, sized up Chen Guan and said.

"No," Chen Guan shook his head.

“Since it’s not the character ‘Saint’, then it must be the character ‘Emperor’ like us. We’re both Emperors, so why does he get this kind of treatment?” the Golden Lion asked, dissatisfied.

“I am not a royal either,” Chen Guan said, shaking his head again.

The golden lion was slightly taken aback: "You are neither a king nor a saint, so how come you were brought here to meet the Celestial Master directly?"

“This is not fair. Isn’t it said that only those with the titles of Emperor and Saint are qualified to meet the Celestial Master directly?” another spirit said.

"What are you calling him? Although he is not a Saint or an Emperor, he is still above those titles," the celestial soldier said coldly.

"Isn't the character 'Saint' the highest? What else can be above the character 'Saint'?" All the mystical spirits were full of doubt.

"There is indeed another character above the character 'Saint,' which is the character 'Human,' but it appears so rarely that you don't know about it." The immortal soldier coldly glanced at them: "The character 'Saint' can still be seen every now and then, but this character 'Human' has only appeared three times since the Wuxiang Divine Palace was established, and each time it was taken in as a personal disciple by the Celestial Master."

Although Chen Guan had already guessed it, he was still slightly proud to hear that the Human rank was even higher than the Saint rank: "I am indeed exceptionally talented. Even among the Mystic Spirits, I am an outstanding existence."
