CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: THE SECRET GOD EMERGES

Chen Guan also felt that he might have been a bit too violent, and took a deep breath to reign in his ferocity.

The blood coursing through his veins came from the Great Demon Qingbai, and sometimes his thoughts indeed deviated from the norm. Many things that seemed cruel to others didn’t particularly bother Chen Guan.

Fortunately, he only had an unusual perception in this regard, he wasn’t truly cold-blooded, nor did he have uncontrolled murderous desires.

After putting Ming Fei away, Chen Guan mused to himself, "Ming Fei wasn’t wrong, the person who cast the Stone-to-Gold Technique on me is not ordinary. If they were to discover the existence of the Secret Spirit Egg and find out something, the Secret Spirit Egg might not be safe."

"Before I go, I must address this issue." Chen Guan lifted his thick coat, glancing at the Secret Spirit Egg nestled close to him.

The white shell showed no change, but he could sense a powerful life nurturing within.

"Looks like I’ll have to use that technique Dad mentioned." Chen Guan recalled the words Chen Xinghe had told him before.

If it could naturally incubate in Pure Yang Land, that would be best, but if something went awry or if he couldn’t wait that long, he could catalyze the Secret Spirit Egg with his own Primordial Energy, accelerating the Secret Spirit’s maturation inside.

However, this process required extreme caution, not to pour too much Primordial Energy at once, as improper handling could damage the underdeveloped Secret Spirit inside.

Chen Guan recalled the steps Chen Xinghe taught him and reached in to grasp the Secret Spirit Egg, beginning to operate the Secret Technique of One, slowly transmitting his Primordial Energy into the Secret Spirit Egg.

Once the Primordial Energy entered the Secret Spirit Egg, Chen Guan immediately sensed the life form within becoming lively, quickly devouring that bit of energy.

Before Chen Guan could continue infusing more energy, the Secret Spirit Egg unexpectedly generated a pull, actively drawing his Primordial Energy into it.

The Secret Spirit within the egg was like a starving and thirsty child, desperately sucking in Chen Guan’s Primordial Energy.

If it weren’t for Chen Guan’s excellent control over his energy through the Secret Technique of One, a large amount of his Primordial Energy might have gushed into the Secret Spirit Egg.

"What’s going on? This seems different from what Dad said. Why is the Secret Spirit inside so hungry for energy?" Chen Guan slightly frowned, trying to release more energy to allow the egg to draw more from him.

This relaxation did not cause any adverse reactions in the egg; instead, the Secret Spirit became even more eager, desperately absorbing energy without any sign of restraint.

"No wonder Ming Fei said this thing comes from the same lineage as her; this thing also absorbs energy!" Chen Guan maintained the energy infusion speed while trying to provide it with more energy.

The more energy was infused, the faster it seemed to incubate. Chen Guan wasn’t stingy with his Primordial Energy, just worried it might not withstand the amount.

Soon, Chen Guan realized his fears were entirely unnecessary; no matter how much energy he infused, the Secret Spirit inside continued to hungrily suck on it as if never satiated.

Fortunately, Chen Guan’s vast Primordial Energy reserves were astounding; if it were an ordinary First Awakening Cultivator, their Primordial Energy might have long been depleted by now.

"You want to eat, right? Then eat to your fill." Chen Guan removed his limitations, letting his Primordial Energy pour into the Secret Spirit Egg like a gushing spring.

He currently had 128 points of energy. Although Third Awakening cultivators had higher energy quality, they didn’t have his quantity, making it easy to supply a Secret Spirit Egg.

After all, the Secret Spirit inside the egg, once hatched, would be just a level 1 being and couldn’t consume too much energy.

After a while, when Chen Guan’s Primordial Energy had been reduced by more than forty points, the suction from the Secret Spirit Egg showed no signs of diminishing.

"It seems like the Secret Spirit inside should be the child of a Secret God; an ordinary Secret Spirit absorbing this much energy would surely have exploded by now." Instead of being frightened, Chen Guan was delighted and continued channeling energy.

Nothing else mattered; he had plenty of energy, so it could absorb freely.

More and more energy was drawn into the Secret Spirit Egg, and Chen Guan lost track of how much had been absorbed.

Since Chen Guan’s Primordial Energy, under the influence of the Secret Technique of One, was continuously regenerating, he couldn’t quantify the exact amount absorbed.

However, it surely exceeded one hundred points; such a quantity of energy, not even a Second or Third Awakening could supply, only someone like Chen Guan had such plentiful reserves.

Eventually, the Secret Spirit Egg stopped absorbing Chen Guan’s energy, its demand still unfulfilled by Chen Guan’s abundant supply.

Chen Guan checked internally and found he had 23 energy points left, which were slowly recovering.

Once the Secret Spirit Egg ceased absorbing energy, it suddenly became eerily silent, the life’s rhythm within coming to a standstill, like deathly quiet.

This stillness lasted only a few seconds before there was a movement again, a crack resounded, and a large fissure appeared on the eggshell.

Before Chen Guan could take a closer look, the cracking sound continued, with cracks spreading across the white shell, and in the blink of an eye, the shell exploded like sand.

Countless fragments shattered into finer particles in mid-air, and these disappeared, scattering like a white mist.

Chen Guan inwardly rejoiced at his quick reaction in placing the Secret Spirit Egg on the stone table; had he kept it close, it might have exploded in his arms.

As the white mist dispersed, what lay within gradually became visible. Chen Guan focused intently and saw, amid the white mist on the stone table, a figure gradually taking shape.

"Is that... a paperman..." Chen Guan stared blankly at the figure.

The Secret Spirit incubated from the Secret Spirit Egg turned out to be a paperman.

Moreover, it wasn’t a paper figure formed by pasting pieces together, but a silhouette of a human, like the kind made by cutting out a paper shape, resembling a shadow with just an outline.

This paperman was only the size of a palm, made entirely of white paper, appearing extremely simple, with no facial features apart from two downward-curving lines representing eyes and one upward-curving line for a mouth.

As Chen Guan was examining it, the paperman transformed into particles and flew into his body, quickly integrating with him, adding a new entry to his pet information.

Paperman (Secret God): Level 1.

Primordial Energy: 4.

Growth Rate: 3.0.

Lifebound Talent: ???.

Secret Technique: ???.

Secret Skill: ???.

Secret Treasure: ???.

Chen Guan found that he could only obtain partial information about the paperman; its talent and other details remained unknown.

This differed from what Chen Guan originally thought, as the quality of the Secret God’s offspring was indeed Secret God, rather than the Unparalleled he had speculated.

A 3.0 growth rate far surpassed that of any unparalleled-grade pet, and the Secret God pet at level 1 had a starting Primordial Energy not of 1, but of 4 points, a unique attribute ordinary pets did not possess.
