God of Pets-Chapter 657: Empty Leaf

Primordial Energy fused with new characteristics, broke through inherent limitations, and started growing again.

The free elemental energy outside simply couldn’t keep up with Chen Guan’s demand for primordial energy.

Fortunately, he was well-prepared, swiftly swallowing the heavenly and earthly treasures he had prepared long ago, providing a large amount of primordial energy, finally reaching Level 41, and his energy cap soared past a thousand.

The level breakthrough meant no bottlenecks before the sixth sense, making future upgrades easier.

Chen Guan stretched out his hand, and a piece of yellow-black withered leaf appeared in his hand; now this leaf was his Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure.

Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure: Empty Leaf (Sky Secret God).

Level: 41.

The level of the Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure follows its owner.

No matter what level it originally was, after being refined, its level matches the owner’s and grows with the owner’s level.

The quality of the Empty Leaf is the Sky Secret God; Chen Guan doesn’t know how this quality differs from ordinary Secret Gods, but the name of the quality isn’t important as much as its practicality.

This isn’t the place to test the Empty Leaf; Chen Guan first flew out of the ancient well, planning to find a place where secret spirits gather to try out the power of the Empty Leaf.

Just as Chen Guan left the ancient well, he saw an old man staring intently at him.

Chen Guan had already prepared mentally. This old man had guarded the Empty Leaf for so many years, and now that it was taken by Chen Guan, it’s unlikely he’d let it go easily.

Judging from the old man’s expression, he seemed to know the Empty Leaf had been taken by Chen Guan.

While Chen Guan was ready for battle, the old man suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Fate is truly predetermined by heaven, not by man. You may go."

After speaking, the old man sat down on a chair nearby, his gaze becoming very hollow.

Chen Guan felt a bit unwilling, but such is the world; it’s impossible to satisfy everyone.

After leaving the Iron Blood Mountain, Chen Guan found a place nearby where secret spirits were more abundant. In a forest, he saw a group of tree crabs perched on the trunks of large trees from afar.

Each of these tree crabs was larger than a basketball, but they seemed lazy and didn’t move much, staying motionless on the trees.

Chen Guan summoned the Empty Leaf, infused it with primordial energy to activate it.

The Empty Leaf immediately flew up by itself, blocking Chen Guan’s left eye, causing his left eye to lose vision, turning pitch black.

The right eye maintained normal vision, so Chen Guan didn’t notice anything unusual.

However, when the Empty Leaf left his eye, Chen Guan witnessed a strange scene.

After the Empty Leaf covered his left eye, an empty space appeared on the left side where his vision was obscured.

The ancient trees, tree crabs, even the flowers and grass on the ground, and the soil itself disappeared into thin air, forming a large pit there.

"The Daoist Mortar wasn’t lying, the Empty Leaf indeed has the Illusion Effect, the ability to make things disappear, and it disappears silently," Chen Guan thought joyfully.

Chen Guan hurriedly tried again, this time selecting a target, using the Empty Leaf to cover a single tree crab, preventing his eyes from seeing it, to see if it would disappear directly.

As a result, after moving the Empty Leaf, the tree crab and part of the ancient tree it was on vanished silently.

"What kind of Immortal Secret Treasure is this; if you can’t see it, it can be directly annihilated, it’s terrifying." Chen Guan thought of going to find some high-level secret spirits to kill.

If you can’t see them and can kill them, then he’ll never worry about resources again, just cover the eyes, and all the secret spirits die, and those demons daring to challenge him also die.

In his excitement, Chen Guan tried to use the Empty Leaf to kill another tree crab, but this time when he removed the leaf, the tree crab was still there unharmed.

Chen Guan tried again and the result was the same, as if the Empty Leaf had failed, using it several times without effect.

"What’s happening? Does the Empty Leaf have a usage limit? No, if there was a limit, it shouldn’t activate; the Empty Leaf was clearly activated..." Chen Guan thought, using the Empty Leaf on another side, and this time, the ancient tree and the tree crab on the other side disappeared.

Chen Guan made some guesses and continued testing with the Empty Leaf.

Soon, he figured out the exact role of the Empty Leaf; it can erase objects in its obscured vision, which is an indiscriminate attack.

The size of the range depends on the vision obscured by the Empty Leaf, while the depth of material erasure relates to how much primordial energy Chen Guan inputs into the Empty Leaf.

If Chen Guan inputs a bit of primordial energy, the Empty Leaf might only erase things within ten meters of its obscured vision; things outside ten meters lose its effect.

This isn’t a problem for Chen Guan since his primordial energy is abundant, so he needn’t worry about lack of energy.

On the contrary, based on this theory, the larger the amount of input energy, the greater the power of the Empty Leaf, which is actually beneficial.

But the Empty Leaf also has another rule; its erasure effect has probabilities.

Like flipping a coin, once the Empty Leaf is activated, there’s a fifty percent chance it will erase and a fifty percent chance it won’t.

If it doesn’t erase, Chen Guan’s input energy isn’t refunded, and the Empty Leaf has no effect.

If the Illusion Effect is used on an object and results in the other fifty percent, the object won’t disappear, and the effect is lost for a certain time.

Through long testing, Chen Guan found this failure time to be 12 hours.

After 12 hours, the Empty Leaf’s ability can be used again, but whether it can erase the object depends on the fifty percent probability.

Chen Guan continued testing the Empty Leaf, before it had abilities similar to Dream Realization, at least to create secret techniques.

After testing, Chen Guan discovered this wasn’t exactly Dream Realization but reverse usage of the Illusion Effect.

The Illusion Effect can make objects disappear, and reversed, it can make non-existent things appear.

But reversing requires more primordial energy, and the amount determines what can appear, similar to the abilities of the Daoist Mortar.

With Chen Guan’s current thousand-plus energy put into the Empty Leaf, if he wants a secret treasure, it can only be a random one between Level 1 to 41.

The quality is highly likely to be ordinary, with only a small chance of a rare treasure appearing.

Level 41 seems to be the limit of the Empty Leaf itself, and the quality of the treasure seems due to insufficient energy, producing only low-quality treasures.

If he wants a secret technique, it’s similar; the quality is rather poor, and useless to Chen Guan now.

And whether he can produce something also has a fifty percent probability, with no energy refund.

Chen Guan thought, "Ming Fei sure profited; if I’d known this before refining the Empty Leaf, when it still retained its original level, anything it produced was top-tier, at least Level 90."

Nevertheless, Chen Guan doesn’t regret it; given another chance, he would still choose caution, accepting no benefits, not gambling with life.

Moreover, Chen Guan’s primordial energy is substantial; after a few more levels, his energy will increase explosively, then using the Empty Leaf’s ability might produce good results.

"What a wonderful treasure." Chen Guan was very satisfied with his Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure.
