In the following days, several pets were appraised to have celestial fate, all of them of unparalleled quality.
There were also some unparalleled pets without celestial fate, but so far, those with celestial fate were all of unparalleled quality.
The celestial fate of unparalleled pets varies, but among them, a passable golden Auspicious Beast had the highest celestial fate score, with no other pet exceeding 7 points.
Wen Yutao summoned a level 30 Lanling Burial Beast, which had only a 7-point celestial fate score.
Button Brother had no unparalleled pets, and Chen Guan's pet mount available was only the Zhao Ye Lion Horse. The Ghost-Eyed Python was in its Second Awakening and couldn't be summoned, so he could only watch others get appraised.
After everyone was appraised, Xiu Jie Ming summoned a Black-Hoofed White Tiger for the Copper Bull to appraise.
"A level 30 unparalleled Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger, quite good, celestial fate of 10 points. With this mount, you might truly be able to reach that place..." The Copper Bull praised repeatedly, but only spoke half of the sentence.
"What place are you referring to?" Xiu Yingmei asked.
"Since you have come here, you should know where I'm referring to, but with too low a celestial fate, it might be hard to fulfill your wishes." The Copper Bull stopped paying attention to Xiu Yingmei and turned to Xiu Jie Ming, saying, "If you see that thing, remember not to be greedy."
Most people didn't understand these words, but Xiu Jie Ming, Xiu Yingmei, and Wen Yutao knew that the Copper Bull must be talking about the Immortal Pill.
"Can we not see that thing without a 10-point celestial fate?" Wen Yutao asked.
"It's not that you can't see it, just that the chances are very slim." The lying Copper Bull spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yutao gritted his teeth and summoned another pet, a pure black goat without long hair but black scales, its eyes covered by a black band, looking somewhat strange.
The pure black goat was sent before the Copper Bull, who immediately showed disgust: "Such a filthy thing, not worthy of entering my sight."
Wen Yutao's complexion changed but didn't say anything, directly recalling the pure black goat.
Wen Yutao had no other unparalleled pets, and the others had all been appraised; no one was appraised anymore.
"Chen, aren't you going to try?" Xiu Jie Ming asked Chen Guan.
"I don't have any unparalleled pet mounts available." Chen Guan shook his head and said.
The pets Chen Guan could ride numbered three in total, but Rouge and Ghost Eye couldn't be summoned, and the remaining one was not convenient to ride in front of so many people.
"Who says only unparalleled pets have celestial fate? Ordinary pets can have celestial fate too; you might as well give it a try," the standing Copper Bull spoke directly.
"But I don't even have a rideable pet," Chen Guan thought. "It's just right here, only they can ascend the mountain. I don't go up, Xiu Jie Ming won't have a chance to harm me."
Thinking about this, unexpectedly the Copper Bull spoke: "That's no problem, since you don't have a mount to ascend the mountain, I'll carry you up."
With this, the Copper Bull actually walked down from the stone base and directly came to Chen Guan's side.
This action left everyone dumbfounded, as they wished to ascend the mountain but were unable to, whereas the Copper Bull seemed to beg Chen Guan to ascend.
From Chunyang Temple to Ancient Green Ox Temple, there had been all sorts of anomalies along the way. If it happened once or twice, it could be coincidence, but now even the Copper Bull wanted to carry Chen Guan up the mountain; could this still be a coincidence?
Chen Guan cursed internally, not desiring such treatment.
Earlier, he used Spirit of the Cheerleaders to pull Button Brother as a favor, hoping someone would step up and share his pressure. However, Button Brother failed to step up.
Now with the Copper Bull's action, it's impossible for Chen Guan to find anyone to share his pressure.
Chen Guan wasn't particularly worried, as he wanted others to notice his abilities, though the progress was faster than he anticipated.
"Let it be fast, even if a bit, as after all, it must come to this step." Chen Guan looked at Xiu Jie Ming, thinking cautiously.
The Copper Bull let out a moo: "Why are you still hesitating, hurry up, I'll carry you to the mountaintop."
"Go ahead, we will follow and protect you." Xiu Jie Ming said with a smile, seemingly unchanged.
Hearing this, Chen Guan no longer hesitated, directly mounting the bull's back.
The Copper Bull turned and headed toward Ancient Green Ox Temple, and when it reached the gate, the temple's door automatically opened.
Xiu Jie Ming left others waiting outside the temple, fashioning those with celestial fate mounts and following the Copper Bull's steps.
Upon departure, Xiu Jie Ming hesitated when seeing Button Brother, then allowed him to mount the Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger, sharing the ride and entering Ancient Green Ox Temple with him.
Following the Copper Bull into Ancient Green Ox Temple, they saw the temple shrouded in mountainous fog, with only a few buildings faintly visible amidst the clouds, clearly dilapidated.
The Copper Bull did not stop and proceeded to the rear of the temple, walking as if on clouds.
The group followed closely, passing through pavilions, towers, and wooden bridges, reaching the mountain path behind the temple. The Copper Bull carried Chen Guan, seeming to walk slowly but actually accelerating, making it hard for several mounts behind to keep up with him.
Xiu Jie Ming called Chen Guan's name several times from behind, but Chen Guan seemed not to hear and didn't turn back.
He bit his lip and ordered the Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger to speed up, chasing faster and faster, leaving others far behind.
Xiu Jie Ming accelerated fully, pursuing the vaguely visible Copper Bull through the fog. When he turned back, he couldn't see others anymore.
Below the mountain was a sea of clouds resembling white mist, with some white fog cascading down the mountain wall like a river, waterfall, or dragon, as if one had entered a celestial realm.
Xiu Yingmei was also in pursuit, but the surroundings were a white expanse, unable to see Chen Guan, Xiu Jie Ming, or anyone else.
She called out several times but received no response, her face slightly changing: "Not good, we've been lured by the Copper Bull and separated."
She tried reaching others, but it was silent around, only surrounded by clouds and fog resembling the Immortal Realm's Cuiyun Mountain, seeming as if she was the only one left.
Others found themselves in similar situations, even those initially paired couldn't see each other when they turned.
Chen Guan riding the Copper Bull didn't feel much, but shortly turned his head and noticed only Xiu Jie Ming on the Celestial Slayer Profound-Hoofed White Tiger chasing behind while others had disappeared, and Xiu Jie Ming's image was also fading into thicker fog.
Moo!
The Copper Bull let out a low moo, suddenly halting.
Chen Guan turned around and realized he had reached the end of the mountain path, at the peak of Cuiyun Peak, facing an endless cliff and surging cloud sea.
What he saw made his eyes widen. There, among the mountains, stood a gigantic Alchemy Furnace comparable to the peaks, its flames burning intensely, yet within, a stream of golden light not hidden by the flames but more striking.
The golden light surged in the Pill Furnace, morphing into various forms—at times like clouds, dragons, water, or flowers— resembling molten lava not yet solidified.
