Inside the Zixian Castle, within the castle's hall.

"Ancestor, shouldn't we go help our benefactor? He's being hunted down!" Ling'er looked at the image on the crystal jade, some concern in her eyes as she looked at Ancestor Zixian.

Although Ancestor Zixian carried the name of "Ancestor," she bore the appearance of a woman around thirty years old.

"No rush, let's watch first; it's not too late to go later. No one can harm him here," Ancestor Zixian said with interest as she watched the battle between Chen Guan and Mei Qingta.

Unlike Ling'er, who grew up under her protection, Ancestor Zixian could easily see that Chen Guan wasn't some progeny of a Divine Master; he had merely chanced upon some attributes of a Divine Master.

Even having received just some attributes of a Divine Master was already a great fortune, and he was bound to achieve great success in the future.

After all, those attributes originated from the Spirit Devouring God, one of the world's most wondrous forces. Even getting a part of those attributes was enough to carve out an extraordinary existence.

If Chen Guan were merely such a lucky person, Ancestor Zixian might only express gratitude for his assistance. As a reward, she might lend a hand if he encounters peril but wouldn't truly treat him as a reliable partner.

Repaying kindness and becoming partners are entirely different concepts. Ancestor Zixian could bestow many things upon Chen Guan as repayment but wouldn't trust him.

However, Chen Guan's recent use of Pure Yang Sword Immortal techniques surprised Ancestor Zixian.

Although the Pure Yang Sword Immortal was formidable, what surprised Ancestor Zixian was not this fact.

The human physique's strength and power, along with primordial energy and other innate conditions, were actually very poor compared to Secret Spirits.

Many Secret Spirits had physical attributes far superior to humans, like the Ghost-Eyed Python and similar Secret Spirits, who had extremely formidable physical gifts; their physical qualities and strength were far beyond human comparison.

In terms of primordial energy, human talents were equally poor.

The primordial base of humanity was almost universally 1, whereas among Secret Spirits, many special or top-tier ones might have a base of 2, even 3, and the most terrifying Secret Spirits could reach 4.

By comparison, humans were incredibly weak.

Thus, in the eyes of top-tier Secret Spirits, humans seemed to be the most ordinary creatures.

However, for some unknown reason, such ordinary humans could use their bodies as vessels for Secret Spirit petification, thereby commanding Secret Spirits to battle as pets.

They could even learn various secret arts and skills from different Secret Spirit races, whereas the secret arts and skills are not transferable between Secret Spirits of different races, which could only learn what's suitable for their race.

Despite this, top-tier Secret Spirits still looked down on humans, thinking their talents and qualities far too inferior.

But the ten seconds when Chen Guan used the Pure Yang Sword Immortal technique caught even someone like Ancestor Zixian by surprise.

She knew better than Mei Qingta the quality of those ten seconds; even during her time at Chen Guan's level, she didn't have so much primordial energy to maintain such a Secret Skill for ten seconds.

Not to mention ten seconds; she might not even last for half that time.

This discovery aroused an authentic interest in understanding Chen Guan; she wanted to see what capabilities this human, fortuitously endowed with the Divine Master's primordial energy attribute, truly possessed.

Ling'er, growing more anxious, wanted to help but didn't dare defy Ancestor Zixian's orders, so all she could do was anxiously watch the image.

Fortunately, she knew her Ancestor's unfathomable powers; since Ancestor said no one could harm Chen Guan here, that indeed held true.

Chen Guan managed to engage Mei Qingta, who was at level 30, to a standstill by relying on the Martial Arts Body Technique he learned from Shang Ziyi, combined with the One-Night Step.

Although Chen Guan was constantly evading, Mei Qingta indeed couldn't harm him.

"The body technique and rhythm already inherently conform to martial arts, remarkable," Ancestor Zixian nodded secretly, further intrigued.

Previously, that ten seconds consumed an enormous amount of primordial energy, yet he was now even able to keep using such an extremely energy-consuming Secret Skill, a feat indeed astounding.

"Could it be... the Divine Master's primordial energy attribute has a rapid energy recovery function…" Ancestor Zixian pondered quietly.

Even for her, the Spirit Devouring God was also an enigma.

They revered the Spirit Devouring God as a Divine Master because the God's power could resurrect plant-type Secret Spirits, frequently planting and catalyzing the growth of extinct Secret Spirit plants.

The Spirit Devouring God's existence dated back to an unfathomable era. Many extremely ancient and terrifying plant-type Secret Spirits may have grown from seeds sown by the God.

Like Ancestor Zixian herself, though not planted by the Spirit Devouring God, she prospered under the God's catalysis, allowing her to grow to such extent without turning into wood.

Another crucial point is that the Spirit Devouring God doesn't devour plant-type Secret Spirits, leading most of them to revere the God as a deity.

"To have mastered Shang Ziyi's martial arts body technique, possessing exceptional martial combat talent, along with such a strong primordial energy recovery attribute, with a foundation like yours, if you don't immerse yourself in these man-eating political whirlpools, you might become a prominent figure in the future."

Mei Qingta sighed, "Unfortunately, you chose to stand in the center of the vortex while your wings are not yet mature, so today you can only die here."

With that said, Mei Qingta gestured with his hand, and particles from afar came forth like a meteor shower through the night sky, integrating into his body. He had summoned back a Gravity Warrior, previously suppressing Zhu Hongzhi and the others.

Mei Qingta gestured once more, and a Gravity Warrior appeared before him, slamming the tower shield onto the ground.

Instantly, Chen Guan felt as though he was carrying a mountain, his previously lightning-fast movements reduced to the staggering steps of an elderly woman.

Fortunately, only one Gravity Warrior activated the Gravity Field; it wasn't strong enough to pin him to the ground like before.

The Gravity Field was a hidden power of the Gravity Warrior, and once utilized, it made combat difficult for him, even if he fought, the results were poor.

Chen Guan's speed drastically decreased, and Mei Qingta seized this opportunity, unhesitatingly striking once again, his fist shooting towards Chen Guan like a lightning bolt.

Chen Guan couldn't even move, let alone dodge.

He made a decisive change, shifting from evasive maneuvers to countering with a Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm, meeting Mei Qingta's fist.

Boom!

The fist and palm collided, producing a deep rumble. Chen Guan only retreated half a step before stabilizing himself.

"You've even practiced a Body Protection Secret Skill, and such a powerful one at that!" Mei Qingta saw through Chen Guan's technique, flicking his hand, forcing the Yin Fire Force from the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm out, dissipating in a gaseous mist.

Mei Qingta's face turned grim, his eyes cold. Now he only wanted to kill Chen Guan quickly; someone like him, if he survives, will certainly achieve terrifying heights in the future.

He already had irreparably offended Chen Guan and couldn't allow him to live.

Moreover, if Chen Guan doesn't die, there'd be no way to explain it upon returning.
