Chapter 876 The Situation in China

Unable to make a judgment, Chen Guan thought for a moment and decided to search for information on another Sky Spirit.

“Devouring…Spirit…God…” Chen Guan uttered the name.

The power of the secret law was activated instantly, and the light and shadow flashed before his eyes, but Chen Guan suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation, and then the light and shadow before his eyes suddenly shattered.

puff!
Chen Guan spat out blood, his face turning deathly pale instantly. The power of the secret law exploded, backfiring on his body.

Fortunately, his body was strong enough; if it were someone else of the same level, the backlash from the secret law would have been enough to kill him.

"Does the Soul Devouring God possess the ability to restrain such secret laws?" Chen Guan's expression shifted.

He couldn't be sure whether this was because the Soul Devouring God possessed the ability to restrain it, or because the Soul Devouring God was too high-level and too powerful, which caused this situation.

Chen Guan dared not entertain the thought of spying on the Spirit Devouring God again. This time, he had only just begun his investigation and had not yet succeeded, yet he had ended up like this.

If they do find out information about the Soul Devourer, whether the Soul Devourer will discover it and come after them is unknown.

At that very moment, in an incredible sky garden, the Soul Devourer, completely clad in armor, sat cross-legged among various strange flowers and plants.

He had his eyes closed, but he opened them slightly, only to close them again after a brief moment of contemplation.

"The drop of blood that fell from my wound was actually refined by someone. Interesting." The Soul Devourer God muttered to himself, then seemed to gradually fall into a slumber. He sat in the garden, as if he had become one with the entire garden, yet there was also a sense of incongruity, as if he were independent of all things.

Chen Guan failed to find any information about the Soul Devouring God and dared not continue.

Regardless of whether the Soul Devouring God is the top-tier spirit in the Sky Realm, since there are problems when he searches for the Soul Devouring God, there will only be more problems when he searches for other, more powerful beings.

"That's enough, we can't do any more tests. My body probably can't take it if we keep doing them." Chen Guan thought for a moment and decided that this was enough.

At least for now we know that the four members of the Immortal Mountain Sect are not the weakest in the Sky Secret Realm. They still have a certain survival ability, and even if they leave the Immortal Mountain Sect, they are not necessarily doomed.

Chen Guan was thinking that he could secretly follow these four people out in the future to see what the Sky Secret Realm outside the Immortal Mountain Sect was like.

These four haven't made up their minds to leave the Immortal Mountain Sect yet, so Chen Guan can only wait for them to make up their minds.

Chen Guan knew this was inevitable; the Immortal Mountain Sect's current resources were no longer sufficient for them to continue improving their strength.

With a thought, Chen Guan slightly modified the secret law and checked the information about his backer.

Backer (Human): Level 100 (Ten Awakenings).

This was within Chen Guan's expectations and he wasn't surprised. After checking the four people, he found that they were all level 100 with ten awakenings.

While waiting for the four to make up their minds to leave the Immortal Mountain Sect, Chen Guan kept an eye on the situation in Shenzhou.

In the past seven years, there haven't been many changes in China.

The ten major families remain the ten major families, and the ancestral temple remains the ancestral temple.

The difference is that the Ji family has declined drastically. The Ji family's Great Cave Heaven has now become the common land of the ten major families, and the Ji family has very little say in the matter.

Even many high-ranking members of the Ji family have unclear relationships with different families.

With or without a Heavenly King, the Ji family is a completely different family.

Without the Heavenly King, the Ji family is just a large family; with the Heavenly King, the Ji family becomes an unparalleled super family. The Ancestral Court and Chief Qi have kept a much lower profile in recent years, as the power of the Ancestral Court has been significantly weakened due to the setbacks suffered by the alliance.

In particular, the Heavenly Court Army, after losing the resources of Baozhu Cave Heaven, was in a slump. Many of the Heavenly Court Army's talents were reassigned, and the legion was also laid off.

Without sufficient resources, it would be impossible to support such a massive army.

The Gong family is also having a tough time. They too are facing a production shortfall. Due to the intervention of Ziyang City and Nantian Kingdom, the Gong family's businesses in the Cave Heaven have been hit hard, and their situation is not good.

However, Tianxu Palace is a large and powerful family, and their high-level combat power and Heavenly King are still around, so there won't be any major problems in the short term. They also have the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

As long as the superstar is still around, the core fanbase won't collapse.

Ji Nanhong has entered the Great Cave Heaven, and her current level is higher than Chen Guan's, having reached level 84 of the Ninth Awakening.

The secret technique she cultivated could be upgraded simply by traveling around, making it much easier for her to level up than Chen Guan's.

With the protection of the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, Ji Nanhong leveled up smoothly all the way, and even in the cave heaven, she did not suffer much.

The Evil Spirit Blood Sword followed Ji Nanhong and absorbed a lot of the mineral deposits that Ji Nanhong discovered during her travels. Its level increased even faster, and it has already reached level 89, just one level away from the Great Cave Heaven Perfection.

The most outstanding talents from various families also entered the Great Cave Heaven and made their names known over the course of more than seven years.

Of course, many more geniuses perished in this process.

Currently, most of the most famous rising stars and geniuses among the ten major families are names that Chen Guan is familiar with.

Jiang Qiemo of the Jiang family, Chu Kuangsheng of the Chu family, Gong Wudi of the Gong family, Chu Jianfeng of the Chu family, Shang Ziyi of the Shang family, Qin Ziyu of the Qin family, Zhang Chunxiang of the Zhang family, and so on, are all rising stars who are famous in their respective regions.

Zhang Chunxiang is the most special among them, because Jiang Qiemo, Chu Kuangsheng and others are all cultivation geniuses deliberately cultivated by their families.

Their main task is cultivation, to compete with others, and to become an invincible powerhouse.

Within the family, another true leader is being cultivated, who will be the true ruler of the family in the future. This person generally will not participate in dangerous battles.

Zhang Chunxiang is different; she is not only the pinnacle of combat power cultivated by the Zhang family, but also the future head of the Zhang family.

The reason for this situation is that the Zhang family's main source of income is elixirs, and the family usually has three candidates to be trained in different directions.

The problem is that the Zhang family can't find anyone who can surpass Zhang Chunxiang in any particular area, whether it's combat power, alchemy, or family head.

Zhang Chunxiang's talents in all aspects are the best in the Zhang family, which is why this situation has occurred.

The Heavenly King is too far away, but the Zhang family is indeed raising Zhang Chunxiang according to the Heavenly King's standards.

Chen Guan's real concern wasn't these people. The reason he was paying so much attention to the situation in China recently was because the election for the new court president was approaching.

Previously, Qi Tianxin had the support of the ten major families and had been in a state of continuous service.

Later, he accumulated enough power to break free from the control of the ten major families and make the ancestral court truly independent, but unfortunately he failed.

After falling out with the ten major families, it remains to be seen whether Qi Tianxin can be re-elected.

The key point is that at this time, someone stepped forward to compete with Qi Tianxin for the position of judge, and unlike before when it was just a formality, he really wanted to win the position of judge. That person's name was Xiu Jieming.
