Chapter 1048 - The Celestial State Trial
"My master sent a message?"
Su Ping received an email notification. He was slightly surprised, but not too much at that.
His master must have learned of the assault against him.
Although he didn't report the matter, it was impossible for his master to remain unaware of the incident that happened in the Golden Star Zone.
However, after reading the message, Su Ping realized that his master was informing him of something else, not asking about the assault.
I must go to the Celestial Court in half a month because there's an important trial? Su Ping was rather surprised. The email only mentioned a trial, but it didn't include the details.
Hadn't his master already arranged trials from the Star State to the Star Lord State for him?
He had already accomplished the Star State trials.
Still, he had yet to become a Star Lord yet. Had the trials been pushed forward?
Su Ping was slightly puzzled; however, he had to follow his master's wishes and go there as soon as possible.
I can ask my master about the Dark Tower's assassination when I see him, Su Ping thought.
Although the assassination attempt was already behind him, he couldn't forget it just yet.
Furthermore, it remained unknown if the Dark Tower would take further actions after the botched assassination.
Loulan Feng mentioned that the six Star Lord assassins were among the top ten assassins underneath the Ascendant State in the Dark Tower's roster.
Since all of them had died, the hitmen to be sent next time would definitely be Ascendants!
Unfortunately, Green Lady can't leave the store; she could protect me all the time if it were possible. Su Ping felt slightly regretful. Although she could follow him by pushing the planet, someone would notice that something was wrong if she kept doing that.
Fortunately, his master said he would be under protection during the trip to the Celestial Court, and also recommended for him to act normal.
Su Ping had the feeling that his master was using him as bait.
Let's see if the Dark Tower will take the bait…
Su Ping didn't ponder any further about the matter, and focused on his business.
From this place to the Celestial Court, if he were to jump across the tier-1 galaxies, the trip would only take three days, but it would be expensive.
His tier-7 identity granted him the privilege of using special channels, without the need to wait in line. There wouldn't be any delay, unless the space stations in one of the galaxies were to be destroyed by space beasts.
Su Ping received customers in the morning and trained pets in the afternoon for the following days, business as usual.
What baffled Su Ping was that, every time he returned from the cultivation sites, he would always receive power of faith from the void, due to some uncanny conditions.
He had absorbed a lot of power of faith after the trip to the Archean Divinity too.
Didn't they say I can only receive power of faith from those who trust me deeply?
Su Ping was confused by such development. He was sure that the power of faith wasn't from his master. For example, when he was visiting the Loulans, he didn't get any faith power.
A lot of faith power would surge from the void and enter his small world every time he came out of cultivation sites.
I don't think I have any believers…
Su Ping asked the system, but didn't receive any reply or explanation.
He could understand when faith power was acquired after the trip to the Archean Divinity. It might have been because he had killed the Rain Clan's prince and many people admired him.
However, he received a lot of faith power too after he returned from the mid and low level cultivation sites that had only a few living creatures.
It's definitely related to the cultivation sites. But the power of faith is truly strange…
Su Ping made a few experiments, but he didn't figure out the reason. The power of faith was a very special type of energy. Su Ping reached a complete understanding of faith power through the information given by his master, but the situation he was experiencing was still unusual.
Such power could only be granted if a living creature was willing to worship someone unconditionally.
Su Ping had sometimes entered desolate places in cultivation sites and fought beasts without ever encountering any human being. However, he received power of faith after he returned.
Although he didn't find the reason, it was still a very good thing. Happily puzzled, Su Ping traveled the cultivation sites and harvested enough power of faith that filled up both of his small worlds!
Su Ping had been absorbing faith power until they were completely filled up.
His two small worlds became even more solid as abundant power of faith surged in; that power acted as their foundation. The laws were pillars, but his small worlds were slightly empty with just the pillars. They became concrete after being filled up.
Su Ping felt that he could kill the Rain Clan's prince again if they were to meet again, simply by attacking with his small worlds!
Unfortunately, I'm still unable to fight Ascendants. They can easily suppress me if they use the power of their Divine Mark… Su Ping had tried fighting Ascendant beasts in cultivation sites. Even though he had tried his best and even risked blowing up his small worlds and body, it was impossible for him to hurt them.
He could beat any Star Lord with double small worlds, but he was still vulnerable when fighting Ascendants!
No wonder Ascendants are the real bigshots in the universe!
Although Star Lords are strong, many of them are willing to be other people's slaves, since they're lords of planetary systems. Few Ascendants are willing to concede, unless they are imprisoned or suppressed by Heavenly Lords or Celestials, Su Ping thought.
Even the weakest Ascendant expert could easily kill the strongest Star Lord!
It was extremely difficult for someone in the Star State to challenge a Star Lord, and absolutely impossible for a Star Lord to fight an Ascendant!
There was a small chance that the Star Lord challenger could win, but no chance for the Star State challenger to win!
I wonder if I can fight Ascendants when I condense seven small worlds… Su Ping pondered. However, if the moment ever came to pass, he might not even care whether or not he could challenge an Ascendant State expert anymore, because condensing seven small wolds was a hundred times more difficult than reaching the Ascendant State!
There had been a lot of Ascendant State experts in history, but very few had cultivated seven small worlds, even in the Archean Divinity!
"Boss Su, playing with your pet again??"
An old customer came in and saw Su Ping. He smiled at him awkwardly.
Su Ping smiled; he remembered that person. "Did you feed the Red Fire Lotus to your pet regularly after you went home?"
"I did. I remember everything you said, Boss Su. I set up alarms to feed my pet. Thanks to your advice, my pet and I have become much closer."
"If you treat it as a partner, it'll naturally warm up to you," said Su Ping with a smile.
While training the pets, he also taught the customers to treat their pets nicely. What delighted him was that most customers were very intimate with their animals. Very few of them regarded pets as tools for battle. There were hidden injuries all over their pets; they never took care of them well.
Su Ping lash out when he met such customers; he simply told them the consequences of their doings, making sure they knew that when a dangerous moment arrived, their pets might attack instead of help them.
All the customers took his advice; perhaps because Su Ping was famous, or maybe because he was strong.
Su Ping knew he couldn't be hasty. His influence was still insignificant at that moment. He would be able to make his voice echo in the universe if he reached the Celestial State like Mu Shen. By then, his every word would be worshiped as the ultimate truth.
The truth in the mouth of the weak was just like humble begging.
Time flew.
Just like the blink of an eye, Su Ping had stayed for another ten days in the store.
Su Ping didn't stay any longer, fearing that the trip would take longer than usual. He said goodbye to Joanna, Tang Ruyan and Green Lady. Then, he left for the Celestial Court with his
Rhea has already lost the dragons, but its global economy is still thriving. Is it because of my store?
Su Ping had already learned of Rhea's condition. The real estate prices in Woffett City where he lived had soared. It turned from a mediocre city to a global economy center.
As for the street where his store was located, every inch of land was a hundred times more expensive than diamonds or gold.
On the spaceship—Su Ping summoned Little White. "How was it? Do your compatriots like the new place?"
Little White was apparently happier in recent days. It nodded with a smile. "They like the place very much."
"Good."
Su Ping smiled.
The planet Loulan Feng had purchased for him was registered; he went there with Little White. Then, he made use of his small worlds and those of his own pets to relocate all the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons on the new planet.
It was a primitive planet with exuberant lightning energy that had just been annexed to the Federation; a few locals could be found. The local environment was harsh and barely suitable for human beings. The locals had just recently immigrated to better suited planets with the Loulan family's help.
"I can try and make some time to get some treasures for you, so that you can modify the place. Then, you and your family may be able to evolve and become even stronger," said Su Ping with a smile.
The plan was barely affordable for ordinary people. However, his power and influence would make the task easier.
Little White was delighted. He said awkwardly, "Master, I can make money after I grow up and help them on my own."
"There's no need to act courteous with me." Su Ping rubbed the young one's head as he recalled the Blue Planet. There were a lot of favors he wanted to ask of his master during that visit.
Little White immediately fell silent.
Su Ping wasn't completely relaxedAs the spaceship jumped across the space stations. After all, he was the bait.
However, three days later—when Su Ping arrived at the Celestial Court—he didn't encountered any attacks.
Considering an Ascendant's capabilities, they could've intercepted him even when he was in the middle of a space jump!
It was just like what they did in the last assassination.
Did they detect something, or has the Dark Tower already given up? Su Ping raised his eyebrows in discomfort; the Dark Tower was like a sting in his heart.
I must advance into the Ascendant State as soon as possible. I can't count on other people's protection forever.
However, I haven't figured out the way to condense a third small world yet. What should I use to cultivate a third world? Su Ping was caught wallowing in misery again.
Once he got off the spaceship, Su Ping didn't hide the Little Skeleton or any of his other pets, except for the chaos beast; it wasn't because he didn't trust his master, but because the Chaos Beast was simply too tempting.
It would grow and reach a realm beyond the Celestial State when it reaches adulthood. What a horrifying bloodline it carried!
If any Celestial acquired a young Chaos Beast, they would be invincible in the entire universe after they raised the Celestial State beast into adulthood.. Very few people could resist such temptation.
