Heavenly Secret was an Immortal Gu.

## Appearance

Heavenly Secret had an indiscernible aura, it was like the stars in the night sky, there was no way to locate it. It was also like the scent of a lotus from a thousand steps away, its presence was extremely faint.

## Ability

Heavenly Secret allows a Gu Master to question heaven and earth and directly obtain answers. It is likened to the one-time natural inspiration state which normally would only be possible when a gu masters ascend to immortality, specifically the three qi unification stage.

### Usage

Heavenly Secret could expose the secrets of heaven and earth, even if the Gu Master did not have any evidence or clues, it could directly lead them to the truth.

### Effect

The Gu Master does not need to have their thoughts collide nor make deductions, as long as the Gu Master grabbed onto that strand of Heavenly Secret, they would directly obtain the answer.

### Bad Side

The Gu Master would not succeed every time they used Heavenly Secret, out of ten tries, at least eight would fail. When the Gu Masters fails, they would face a backlash. The backlash from Heavenly Secret was extremely powerful and caused Gu Masters to feel fear. The Gu Master's soul and body would be intact, the Heavenly Secret's backlash only targeted the Gu Master's lifespan. When the Gu Master faces a backlash, they would lose ten to seventy years of their remaining lifespan.

This backlash happens because the usage of Heavenly Secret Gu require expenditure of Heaven Path Immortal Materials to activate normally. If these materials didn't exist when the user activated the gu, it either immediately take away their lifespan, which is heaven path in nature, or cause the next usage's immortal material expenditure to be even greater, which means an even greater amount of lifespan taken later if the user activated the gu without heaven path immortal materials.

## Limitation

The answers gained by activating this gu also depends on the "relationship" between Heaven's Will and the user. If the user is disliked by heaven it would not give any answer/or gave limited answer that made it inefficent to activate the gu to gain answers. This disadvantage can be mitigated somewhat if it's used in a killer move and Heaven's Will didn't have the corresponding recipes of the immortal gu, making it unable to mount sufficient defense against the gu's effects.

## Origin

In the records of history, Heavenly Secret was created by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, he possessed a Rank 8 Heavenly Secret, but after his death, Rank 8 Heavenly Secret disappeared without a trace and there has been no news regarding it since then.

## Trivia

* Heavenly Secret is something most Wisdom Path Gu Immortals knew about. Gu Immortals that knew about Heavenly Secret were mostly skilled at making arrangements ahead of time and making predictions about the future. Often, they could scheme against people without them knowing, causing others to fall into their trap unknowingly.
* Heavenly Secret's deduction effect far surpassed Wisdom Gu's deduction effect, even Wisdom Gu in full power couldn't make deductions like Heavenly Secret.
* At the final steps of its refinement the Gu Immortal had to personally complete it, he could not rely on a refinement path Gu formation. This was the most unique part of heavenly secret Immortal Gu’s refinement, almost all other Immortal Gu had no such requirement. Only heavenly secret Immortal Gu could not be restricted by any rules, it had to be refined when it was in a state of freedom. So the refinement path Gu formation could not be used. But the Gu Immortal’s control could not be excessive, otherwise, it would be a form of restriction and heavenly secret Immortal Gu would not be refined. This step required a peculiar balance, the intricacy could not be expressed in words, only the Gu Immortal undergoing the refinement could experience it.
* While publically it's known that Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable created this gu, It is implied that Limitless Demon Venerable was the one who secretly created this gu and/or its concept. At one point Limitless Demon Venerable said that when he already reached the end of his road he asked Heavenly Dao for possibility for eternal life, of which Heavenly Dao answered that it's impossible. In addition, the rank nine recipe of Heavenly Secret was also within a truthful floating ice Limitless Demon Venerable left behind.
