Chapter 1136 Gathering of Celestial State Experts

This is what it feels like to be in the Celestial State…

Su Ping examined the surging power inside his body, feeling that it was echoing with the world around him. He could almost touch the infinite laws in the void, and modify them however he wanted to!

Su Ping vaguely had an epiphany, So, I can even break and change the laws of the outside world when my own small world is powerful enough…

He was only able to vaguely detect the Celestial State’s power for the moment; he couldn’t really wield it yet

His feelings would have been even stronger if he were truly in the Celestial State.

Even so, he found the power extremely astounding. He remembered how the Celestial beasts had killed him instantly in the cultivation sites, somehow understanding why he died so abruptly and what kind of power was used to kill him; he was no longer as confused as before.

No wonder it’s a rare, state-of-the-art pill. Although I won’t condense my Divine Mark with triple small worlds, it’ll work as a great reference to me. This will make things a lot easier for me in the future… Su Ping thought. The pill was of great help for him and could also be considered a top treasure.

Putting the treasures looted from the undersea palace aside, it was the greatest finding in the trial so far. “The pill is now in effect and will expire in three days. Normally speaking, it’s best to train in seclusion and record your feelings in detail. However, given the circumstances, there’s no time for that right now,” said the old man gently.

Su Ping nodded. He had already felt it; it was unnecessary for him to keep a detailed record. The visualized path wouldn’t be used by him.

Both the old man and the cauldron woman were surprised by Su Ping’s acceptance; they had gained a better understanding of his personality. Not everybody could have resisted the opportunity of exerting power as a Deity King. If they recorded their feelings carefully, their chances of becoming a Deity King would be at least doubled.

However, Su Ping was willing to let go of the opportunity, merely using the pill to cover his aura; both artifacts saw it as a huge waste. “Kid, you’re quite determined,” remarked the cauldron woman; there was less casualness and disdain in her tone, and more approval.

The old man gave a slight nod and said, “Since you’re ready, let’s go. Young man, all of us will be hiding in your small world later. You must take care of everything; you can release me later if necessary. Remember that you are the legacy’s inheritor and a real Celestial State expert from now on!” “Okay.”

Su Ping nodded.

He was a good actor.

The old man nodded, then led the group to another direction inside the root. An unusual array surfaced in his hand when they approached a certain spot in the root, and a portal appeared in the darkness.

“The old monster’s Hollow Array.” The cauldron woman looked at the array and narrowed her eyes. “Did you teach him that? If you’re capable of setting up such an array, you can go anywhere without the ancient tree, right?” The old man was rather indifferent to her. “Like I said, I taught him everything. He couldn’t have reached those heights without my help.”

He continued, “He set up anti-arrays inside his residence; this portal can only teleport us within the residence. The Heaven Lightning Barrier blocks this portal too; we won’t be truly free if we don’t leave this place. Why else do you think he chose to be reborn? You really think this array is invincible?”

The woman raised her eyebrows. The old monster had survived the hunting of countless deities with that portal years before. She didn’t know there would be that many restrictions.

She didn’t doubt the old man’s explanation; after all, he wouldn’t have offered the Path Seeking Pill to Su Ping if he could leave right away.

Su Ping listened in silence, not interjecting

once.

The old monster they mentioned seemed to have been the protagonist in his age, and that demonic sutra was the golden finger he had picked.

It was just like Su Ping’s system.

He rose to the sky from his prior mediocre state with that golden finger.

However, there were different kinds of people in the world; some were born extraordinary and garnered admiration, and others were born unremarkable. Of the latter kind, some were just downright useless, while others had simply lacked the opportunity.

They would seize the opportunity once it was manifested, unleashing their potential. In the end they would all rise and become invincible.

The owner of the ruins was one of the latter; that was why he rose and became a great devil.

“Young man, you must take it from here.” The old man stared at Su Ping solemnly. “If you enter this array, you’ll be teleported to the residence’s gate where you’ll meet your master. You are now the legacy’s successor, so you cannot directly ask them to disrupt Ye Chen’s rebirth. You must make use of their greedy nature and prompt them to sneak in.

“They will surely discover the truth once things are set in motion, but we’ll already be far away. Don’t worry about your master blaming you later; you can always explain that you didn’t get the complete legacy and were set up, which would be proven by the plummeting of your cultivation. Your master will believe you as long as he’s not absolutely heartless.

“I can stay at your side for now if there are no choices. You are a kindhearted young man; I can teach you, taking you in as your master; I’m sure I won’t raise another demon.”

“Old man, that’s one thorough plan.”

The cauldron woman mocked, “I heard that the old monster used to be an innocent young man in the beginning. Weren’t you the one who changed him? Are you trying to raise another devil? In my opinion, if you want to save the world, you’d better bury yourself somewhere so that no one ever finds you.”

The old man glanced at her coldly, then ignored her.

Ye Chen… Su Ping had finally learned the name of that place’s owner. His lips twitched; that name was indeed befitting of a protagonist.

He asked curiously, “Did this Ye Chen’s parents die at a very young age?”

“How do you know that?”

The old man was rather surprised.

He looked at Su Ping with suspicion in his eyes.

“Wild guess…” Su Ping coughed. From the look in their eyes he could tell that wasn’t the time to joke around. They were only making use of each other; there wasn’t a smidge of trust between them. Their fragile partnership could be easily broken.

“I heard that his parents named him Ye Chen[1] because they were like grains of dust,” added the woman.

“Of course.”

Su Ping nodded quickly.

So cliche.

“Young man, you’ll take it from here,” said the old man solemnly.

The woman threatened, “If you dare to play any tricks… I will detonate the curse power inside you; you’ll die for sure. I hope you’ll remember that you’re not as strong as you’re feeling right now. You’re just a weakling like you were before, understand?”

“Yes, I do.” Su Ping nodded obediently.

The woman was slightly surprised; she felt at a loss.

The old man looked at Su Ping thoughtfully. He then asked Su Ping to open his small world. All of them hid inside Su Ping’s world of illusion.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the Hollow Array The darkness before his eyes was gone. He then saw the gate of a ragged residence. It was surrounded by remains that were clearly withered blades of grass. After such a long time passed, all the grass was so dry they would shatter the moment they were touched.

At the gate-Su Ping saw three Celestial experts. Besides the man in white and his master, there was also a graceful young woman.

The woman was wearing a purple robe and looked quite intimidating; her eyes resembled willow leaves, tranquil and calm. She seemed to be a person who wouldn’t be tricked or intimidated.

While the three Celestials were examining the place, they were stunned to see the person who came out of nowhere. “Su Ping?”

Su Ping had arrived so abruptly it seemed as if he had just flashed over.

“You…”

All of them detected Su Ping when they saw him; their expressions changed when they noticed his aura. Shock flashed in Shen Huang’s eyes, which was soon replaced by ecstasy. “You’ve acquired the legacy?”

Su Ping said with a smile, “Yes, master.”

“Congratulations, Shen Huang; you got a great disciple,” remarked the man in white with mixed feelings.

The graceful woman, on the other hand, stared at Su Ping silently.

“What? The legacy?”

Many people came out from the void at that moment; their intimidating auras felt like looming mountains. They were the Celestials from the other star zones. “It’s the brat!”

“Did he really win the legacy?”

“He’s already in the Celestial State? Wait, his aura doesn’t seem to be very steady. Is it because he’s just received the legacy?”

The Celestial State experts came from everywhere and stared at Su Ping with astonishment. Some were regretful, while others were outright furious.

Su Ping saw their expressions clearly, and figured out which of them were on unfriendly terms with Shen Huang. He said, “Master, I’ve claimed the legacy in the ruins; the rest of you may take your disciples away now.”

“Brat, you just reached the Celestial State, and now you want to kick us away?”

“He’s just like his master!”

Su Ping’s announcement infuriated many of the Celestials present. This man is being awfully rude and disrespectful!

That being said, nobody got around to really scold Su Ping. After all, even though his aura was unsteady, Shen Huang was right by his side.

The Golden Star Zone would surely rise if Shen Huang and his allies worked together; the balance of the universe was very likely to change.

“Is my disciple all right? Bring him to me right now!” cried one of the Celestial State experts.

“Disable the barrier and let us in!” shouted another Celestial; however, it was clear that he was planning something else.
