Chapter 979 Recruiting Helpers
"Chen Guan?" When the Heavenly King saw Chen Guan, his face immediately filled with resentment.

But soon, the Heavenly King of the Palace burst into laughter, as if he had just gotten his revenge: "So you've finally met your match?"

After being captured by the Soul Devourer, he was forced to become a filter, which he naturally did not want.

Although you can filter out depleted energy here, you can also absorb high-level energy flowing through Sky City, allowing you to level up very quickly.

However, the accumulated depletion energy in the body will also increase, causing irreversible damage and impact on the body.

Seeing Chen Guan here now fills me with a sense of satisfaction, as I assume he was also brought here to be used as a filter.

"King Gong, it seems you have a great misunderstanding about me," Chen Guan said calmly.

The Heavenly King sneered, "You dare say you're not that great demon from the Immortal Mountain Sect? It's no use denying it; you can fool others, but you can't fool me."

“I’m not denying it,” Chen Guan said with a smile. “What I mean is, you’ve misunderstood me. Although we’re both here, you’re the one being treated like a slave, while I’m not.”

"What are you doing here if you're not a cow or a horse?" King Gong said disdainfully. Every human who came here was treated as a filter.

"Of course I'm here to pick cattle and horses. So, do you want to escape this sea of ​​suffering? As long as you apologize to me, I might consider rescuing you. Following me from now on is much better than being a filter here, right?" Chen Guan looked at Gong Tianwang with a smile.

"You underestimate me, Gong. Do you think your words can fool me?" King Gong sneered contemptuously.

As the Heavenly King was speaking, he saw a figure enter the Sky Garden and fly towards them.

Ordinary humans cannot freely enter or leave the Sky Garden, so that figure was quite eye-catching. When the Heavenly King saw who it was, a smile appeared on his face.

In recent years, not many humans have been brought into the Sky Garden by the Devouring God. The only one that the Heavenly King of the Palace knows is Ji Changsheng, and the two of them are the only ones he can talk to.

Ji Changsheng was different. When he ascended, he had already created the Ten Awakenings Secret Technique, and the technique was quite powerful. After the Ten Awakenings, he became one with the Dharma, and his abilities reached an extremely high level. He was highly valued by the Devouring Spirit God and was sent to guard the Sky Walkway. He did not need to be a filter here.

Despite being both superstars, their circumstances are quite different.

Seeing Ji Changsheng land nearby and head towards them, the Heavenly King of the Palace assumed that Ji Changsheng had come to find her.

But to everyone's surprise, Ji Changsheng walked up to Chen Guan, cupped his hands, and called out, "Teacher."

Chen Guanben didn't hide anything. He wasn't surprised by Ji Changsheng calling him "teacher," nor did he feel there was anything wrong with it.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly King's expression changed slightly.

Ji Changsheng glanced at Gong Tianwang and continued to say to Chen Guan, "I have received orders from the Devouring Spirit God to obey your commands in everything I do."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King's expression turned even more unpleasant.

He endured humiliation here in order to survive, to avenge the destruction of the Gong family, and to return the insults inflicted upon him by Jin Taohua.

Even in such an environment, he still cultivated desperately, waiting for the day when Jin Taohua advanced to the tenth awakening and was brought back by the Devouring Spirit God. He would make Jin Taohua pay for her blood debt.

But with Chen Guan here, even if Jin Taohua came, he wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on her head.

"I should have realized it sooner. Why did the Soul Devouring God only take us away but not you and your people back to the Sky Secret Realm? You were indeed in cahoots with the Soul Devouring God all along..." King Gong's face was ashen.

"King Gong, let's skip the nonsense. I'll just ask you if you want to leave here?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"If the price of leaving here is bowing down to you, I'd rather stay here," said the Heavenly King Gong expressionlessly.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Let's go." Chen Guan had no time for idle chatter with Gong Tianwang.

Since he's unwilling to atone for his crimes through meritorious service, then let him continue to act as a filter here.

In any case, in Chen Guan's plan, it was not necessarily necessary for Gong Tianwang to participate.

Chen Guan and Ji Changsheng headed to where the Wind King was. According to the Devouring Spirit God, the Wind King was not in the Sky Garden; to find her, they would have to go to Sky City.

Originally, the Soul Devourer God brought the Wind God back to make her a filter.

Because some problems arose in Sky City, and since the Wind King's abilities could be used to his advantage, she was temporarily placed in Sky City.

The entire Sky City resembles a giant skyscraper, and each brick of this skyscraper is itself a huge city, composed of countless cities.

Chen Guan and Ji Changsheng arrived at the place where the Wind King was and saw that the Wind King was using her wind power to increase the propulsion of Sky City.

Sky City is not fixed in one place; it moves continuously along a void orbit in the void, just like a star.

Sometimes, when it's necessary to change the way Sky City moves, special forces are needed to intervene manually.

The power of the Wind Queen is very useful for the movement of Sky City; to put it nicely, she is now responsible for providing power to Sky City.

To put it bluntly, she's now either a power bank for Sky City or a human cart puller.

Even more tragically, there are countless human-powered cart pullers like her in Sky City; she is just one of them and doesn't stand out at all.

Her life was worse than that of the Heavenly King Gong. At least the Heavenly King Gong could absorb energy and his level would increase.

Feng Tianwang didn't get any benefits; he just did all the work all day.

Therefore, when Chen Guan brought Ji Changsheng here, Feng Tianwang was easily persuaded.

After subduing Ji Changsheng and Feng Tianwang, Chen Guan began preparing to return to Shenzhou to select people.

The Immortal Mountain Sect has limited resources, making it impossible for too many people to advance to the Tenth Awakening stage, let alone reach the level of 100.

Since the Devouring Spirit God was willing to contribute resources this time, Chen Guan naturally wouldn't be polite and would bring in as many people as he could.

If we can cultivate more level 100 human cultivators, then even if the Devouring God has any conspiracies in the future, having more people and more strength will make it easier to deal with them.

As for the ten major families, Chen Guan instructed Ji Changsheng and Feng Tianwang to go and explain the situation to them, while Chen Guan himself went to find another person first.

In the most luxurious place outside the ancestral temple in Shanghai, Qingya Zhengling sat comfortably in the boss's seat, enjoying the freshest local delicacies.

Night Shanghai has changed hands, and the new owner is Qingya.

Qingya was comfortably contemplating the future when her expression suddenly changed. She abruptly jumped up from her chair, gripping two daggers in her hands, staring intently at the figure opposite her.

With her cultivation level and abilities, she didn't even notice when there was another person on the other side; she didn't notice at all before she opened her eyes.

"It's you?" Upon seeing the figure clearly, Qingya relaxed her body and stopped adopting an attack stance, because she recognized who it was.

Chen Guan turned around, looked at Qingya, and said, "I'm going to do something very dangerous, and I need your help. Come with me."

"Do I have a choice?" Qingya asked helplessly with a bitter face.

"No," Chen Guan said seriously.

"At least tell me what you want me to do," Qingya had no choice but to ask again.

"You need to help me knock down a pagoda, and only you can knock it down." Chen Guan wasn't entirely flattering Qingya, but there really was a pagoda inside that Sky Tower with Qingya's power, making it easier to knock down.

That tower is the Tower of Destiny among the six pagodas, and Qingya, the Fate Master, is the best weapon to deal with the Tower of Destiny.
