Upon hearing this news, Chen Guan immediately understood what was going on.
"King Ji truly went to great lengths, but unfortunately, the Ji family just ground his efforts into the dirt." Chen Guan shook his head with a wry smile.
With Ji Tianwang going to the Celestial Secret Realm, the Ji family lacked the pillar that allowed them to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other nine families.
The reason Ji Tianwang left a ring and set up such an unusual rule instead of giving it directly to the people of the Ji family was to give the Ji family a chance to remain among the ten great families.
Chen Guan speculated that King Ji must have realized there was some hidden mystery within the Jade Divine Statue.
However, Ji Tianwang surely only knew that the person teaching him was not a Jade Immortal but someone else.
He just hadn't figured out who that person was yet.
