Ji Liuying felt conflicted, but after she attempted to practice the secret technique that Chen Guan passed to her, this complex emotion gradually turned into surprise and incredulity.

The Innate Divine Skill is already considered one of the most powerful secret techniques in the current age, even an unparalleled quality Innate Divine Skill is enough to rival some secret god quality secret techniques.

The main reason is that the Innate Divine Skill itself is a kind of "learning by adaptation," complying with the will of heaven, following the way of the world, adapting to the environment, conforming to the situation, and aligning with human wishes.

Fundamentally speaking, cultivating the Innate Divine Skill is akin to choosing the most optimal growth path, with everything growing in the most perfect and effective manner. Therefore, just considering the foundation and process, the Innate Divine Skill is not inferior to the secret god technique.

But from another perspective, this instead becomes an obstacle to further advancement of the Innate Divine Skill.

Perfection is a kind of beauty, but so is leaving space for imagination.

The beauty of perfection has no flaws, thus it has no room for imagination, and consequently, no space for further advancement.

The Innate Divine Skill is just too complete, lacking in spaces for imagination.

This situation was something that even a remarkable genius like Ji Changsheng couldn’t solve. He had been stuck for nearly a thousand years until he got inspired by the secret technique given by Chen Guan, which helped him redefine his Innate Qi Divine Skill.

While others pursued perfection, Ji Tianheng operated in the opposite manner, leaving spaces in the originally perfect Innate Divine Skill, making it no longer perfect.

It was by relying on these spaces that Ji Changsheng finally took that step, becoming the first among the Ten Celestial Kings to do so.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Ji Changsheng is the strongest among the Ten Celestial Kings. If it weren’t for the pressure from the Celestial Eye Evil God, Ji Changsheng might not have taken that step so quickly and probably would have continued staying in the Great Cave Heaven.

Chen Guan wasn’t sure if similar situations existed among the other Celestial Kings.

From the beginning, Ji Liuying had been cultivating the Innate Divine Skill. Although it wasn’t as unique as the Innate Qi Divine Skill, it was still of the same lineage.

After practicing the secret technique created by Ji Changsheng, the impact and realization she felt were profound.

With just one session of cultivation, Ji Liuying’s level soared to 70, and after completing the eighth awakening, she advanced to level 71.

And the secret realm that Ji Liuying awakened left her both surprised and delighted.

The secret realms awakened by cultivating the Innate Divine Skill are typically the same, usually awakening the "Innate Secret Realm." However, the secret realm Ji Liuying awakened was the "Innate Yin-Yang Secret Realm," which was much stronger than the Innate Secret Realm.

Ji Liuying pushed the door open and eagerly went to find Chen Guan.

She had so much to say to Chen Guan, but when she saw him basking in the sun in the courtyard, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

The secret technique given by Chen Guan was truly invaluable for her and the Ji Family.

But Ji Liuying didn’t understand why such a precious secret technique wasn’t directly passed down to the Ji Family members by the Celestial King, and instead ended up in an outsider’s hands; it didn’t make sense.

"Could it be true as he said, that he taught the Celestial King, and the secret technique doesn’t belong to the Celestial King, but is his brainchild? Could he be the teacher mentioned by the Celestial King? Is such a person real? But he’s still so young..." Ji Liuying dared not think like this, yet she couldn’t help but entertain the idea.

"You’re here?" Chen Guan glanced at Ji Liuying’s appearance and knew she must have benefited from that secret technique.

"Who exactly are you?" Ji Liuying had asked this question more than once today, but she still wanted to ask it again.

"Who I am isn’t important. To you, I’m just an ordinary person you rescued from the Tear Luo Desert." Chen Guan smiled and extended his hand, releasing a primordial energy that landed on a withering flower in the courtyard.

The flower, like a withered tree encountering spring, quickly budded and blossomed again.

"Innate Eight Techniques..." Ji Liuying had already been too shocked today and was feeling a bit desensitized.

"When I taught someone, he would also bring out things he had created for me to correct," Chen Guan said to Ji Liuying. "I thought you could use it, so I taught it to you."

Under Chen Guan’s guidance, Ji Liuying retrained in the Innate Eight Techniques, but everything felt so wonderful and surreal to her.

In the Ji Family, there were countless geniuses like grains of sand, and Ji Liuying was just one of them. With her parents having passed away early, she learned the Innate Eight Techniques from the family elders like the rest, and then it was entirely up to her own comprehension.

The Innate Eight Techniques that Chen Guan mastered contained the experience and insights of Ji Changsheng; though it was the same composite secret skill, its power and function differed.

Moreover, the Innate Eight Techniques were inherently a highly technical secret skill. Learning the eight techniques and managing to combine them didn’t mean one truly mastered this secret skill.

The real difficulty of the Innate Eight Techniques was not learning them but knowing how to use them.

With Chen Guan’s teaching, Ji Liuying suddenly felt as if she had opened the door to a new world.

Although it was the same secret skill, after hearing Chen Guan’s teachings, everything seemed exceptionally different from before.

"Even if it were personally taught by the Celestial King, it might not be any different," Ji Liuying harbored no more doubts about Chen Guan, her admiration only grew deeper.

To be able to sit and discuss with the Celestial Kings, and to have taught them—what kind of existence was that? Being called a grandmaster would not be an exaggeration.

The more Ji Liuying learned, the more she respected and admired Chen Guan.

To bring such secret techniques and skills back to the Ji Family—such magnanimity, how many in the current age could match it?

Under Chen Guan’s guidance, in just one night, Ji Liuying felt as if she had been reborn, incomparable to the previous day.

"I’ve taught you everything I can; now you’ll need to comprehend it on your own," Chen Guan said to Ji Liuying. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ji Liuying wanted to say something, but she heard the voice of a clan elder from outside.

"Ji Liuying, where have you been? Didn’t I tell you to apologize to the son of the Chu Family today?"

"Master, I’ll handle my own matters first," Ji Liuying said as she was about to leave Chen Guan’s courtyard.

"Act according to your true desires," Chen Guan said casually.

Ji Liuying paused slightly, turned to bow deeply to Chen Guan, and then stepped out with firm steps.

"Where have you been?" The clan elder was very displeased upon seeing Ji Liuying.

"Clan elder, shall we go meet the son of the Chu Family?" Ji Liuying didn’t say much more. Her mindset had changed and she was no longer as indignant as before.

The clan elder was somewhat surprised as he scrutinized Ji Liuying, puzzled by her swift change in attitude.

But he didn’t ponder it too much. It was naturally better if Ji Liuying had figured it out on her own; with this attitude, it would be easier to gain the Chu Family’s forgiveness.

The clan elder didn’t say much else, only reminding Ji Liuying to maintain a good attitude when meeting the son of the Chu Family, and then led her to the Chu Family’s residence.
