Chapter 827: The Strongest Void State Cultivator

While Su Ping was lost for words, an inconspicuous wave of energy appeared.

“Who’s there?”

Su Ping suddenly turned around; the Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound quickly stood on his sides, protecting him and releasing a daunting aura.

A slim person suddenly drifted toward him and floated several meters from the ground; she turned out to be a girl in a green dress.

Although dressed in an ancient style, she was remarkably beautiful; a keen mind could be seen through her eyes. She looked down at Su Ping and asked curiously, “Are human beings still alive after so many years? How did you come through the barrier outside?”

Su Ping was equally stunned, not expecting to see someone else in the palace.

“Senior, I mean no offense,” Su Ping quickly cupped his hands and said. He was unable to tell how strong the girl was, but his experience made him feel her cultivation was undoubtedly beyond the Star State.

It was easy to infer that she was virtually immortal, still being alive after so many years in desolation!

“Humph. There was a recent disturbance and the divine residence shook; now its power is fading. You must be an intruder who seized the opportunity to break in, aren’t you?” snapped the girl with arms akimbo, “Today is not your lucky day. Tell me what’s going on outside… I’ll refine you into a pill if you lie!”

A giant bubble that had a furnace in it flew toward them as she talked.

Su Ping started to feel dizzy. He might not be able to resist if the girl really attacked him.

“Senior, I—I—I’m the Twilight Deity King’s heir!” Su Ping hurriedly replied.

“Heir?”

The girl was dazed. She observed Su Ping and remarked grimly, “Are you trying to fool me? You don’t carry the aura of a deity, at all. How can you be the Deity King’s heir?”

“It’s absolutely true…” Su Ping felt relieved since she had yet to attack him; he knew that he had managed to win some of her trust by mentioning the “Twilight Deity King.”

He immediately made up a story, as he always did.

“The Federation rules nowadays. My ancestor sacrificed himself to resist the Heavenly Pit and finally ensured peace for humankind. The ancient family records were lost; my generation no longer had information about him. I only found this place and its map through the incomplete books my family still has…”

Su Ping rambled with tears. He gave the map that the old man in the peach orchard had offered to the girl while he spoke.

That was great evidence to back his claim. The girl was stunned for a moment after seeing Su Ping’s map, then became less suspicious. After all, she remembered the battle Su Ping described.

While there were records of the events inside the divine residence too, Su Ping was too weak to retrieve them.

“It seems that the Deity King won the battle…” mumbled the girl.

Tears filled her eyes as she talked, apparently reminiscing about the shocking and devastating battle.

Only those who had experienced it knew how challenging and influential it had been. Only a fearless warrior would have had the courage to sacrifice himself for victory!

“There’s indeed an ancient aura inside your body… Never mind, regardless of whether or not you’re the Deity King’s heir, the Deity King asked me to help human beings train a new Deity King to pass on his mission…”

The girl lowered her head and stared at Su Ping. Her girly eyes suddenly seemed old and weary, but that feeling was soon gone. She calmed down and said, “Tell me what’s going on outside. The divine residence has been trembling recently. I recently detected three Golden Deities passing by… Are they intruders who intend to claim the Deity King’s legacies?”

“Three Golden Deities?”

Su Ping was quite shocked by her choice of words.

Obviously, she was referring to the Ascendant State experts who had previously entered the divine residence earlier!

She called them Golden Deities!

Golden Deity and Deity King… Su Ping didn’t know which was stronger, but there was no way that the master of that divine residence was only a Star Lord, right?

Besides, what was a Deity King? He had surely been a king who commanded all the other deities!

Did this residence belong to a Supreme Celestial? Was the Twilight Deity King an ultimate expert who had reached the Immortal Celestial State beyond the Ascendant State? Su Ping was quite shocked, not expecting that to be the residence of a Celestial State expert. The entire Silvy galaxy would have been shocked if the news were to spread.

Not only those in the Ascendant State, even Celestial State cultivators in other galaxies would be attracted.

Maybe the Ascendants themselves would not even qualify to compete for the treasures!

So, the three Ascendant experts were only taking advantage of the early access to the place.

“You’re right. They are intruders.”

Su Ping instantly came back to his senses and decided to sell out the three Ascendant State experts who had cracked the residence’s barrier.

“Just as I expected…”

The girl didn’t seem angry. She simply nodded and asked, “How are human beings doing these days? Are the three Golden Deities the strongest human beings?”

Su Ping instantly shook his head. “No, humankind is the strongest of all species now. There are Supreme Deity Kings like my ancestor.”

He repeated the information he had told to the old man back in the peach orchard.

The girl was in a trance for a long time; she then finally took a breath of relief with sadness and comfort in her eyes. “So, the Deity King made the right decision. This is the world of prosperity that he looked forward to…”

After thinking for a moment, she said to Su Ping, “Since you’re the Deity King’s heir, you may get the things in this room. Just tell me what pills you want. I’ll pick them for you.”

Su Ping’s eyes glittered, not expecting to win her trust so easily.

However, he also knew that she had deliberately gone easy on him. The air of the Golden Crows inside his body had also played a part in making him seem more trustworthy.

Su Ping wasn’t in a rush to eat the pills. Instead, he asked prudently, “You must have watched over this place for years. May I know who you are?”

“Me?

“I’m just a pill that the Deity King refined,” said the girl with a casual smile.

Su Ping was stunned. This girl is actually a pill?

Is she… edible?

“I can give you a better chance to turn into a king when you become a Golden Deity,” the girl chuckled and said, “But you’re too weak right now. Although there are plenty of pills that suit people of your level, most have rotten over the years despite the use of good preservation methods.

“However, some of the high-quality ones are still good. I’ll fetch them for you.”

The girl turned around and flew away.

Su Ping, however, was in a trance.

He was shocked by what the girl said.

She could increase his chances of becoming a king?

In other words, it would be the level-up from Ascendant to the Celestial State!

It was definitely an ultimate treasure for Ascendant State experts; all of them would go crazy over it!

Several minutes later, the girl returned with a long series of bubbles behind her.

Su Ping was dumbfounded to see the number of bubbles that almost stretched to infinity. He didn’t expect for them to be that many.

It seemed that “some” meant different things to her and to him.

How many divine pills were there inside the palace?

“This is a Foundation Polishing Pill that can cleanse your body and improve the quality of your bones.”

“This is a pill that can strengthen you.”

“This is a pill that can purify your energy.”

“This is…”

The bubbles cracked as the girl presented the goods; the pills inside flew towards Su Ping.

Su Ping breathed heavily and asked, “Can I eat them just like that?”

“Of course. You’re too weak right now. Besides, the pills will rot in several thousand years anyway,” said the girl.

So, the pills were about to expire?

Su Ping didn’t really mind. He had eaten food with only a month left, right at the beginning of the month.

Besides, the expiration date was still thousands of years away. What was there to be afraid of?

Bo! Bo! Bo!

Su Ping opened the vials and stuffed the pills in his mouth, chewing and swallowing them.

Gulp, gulp!

The pills were round; they emitted the fragrance of various herbs. Some had weird smells, but Su Ping still ate them after confirming that they had yet to expire.

The girl was a divine pill herself. She was a specialist in that aspect and could be trusted.

After emptying several vials, Su Ping soon felt changes inside his body. A wave of heat was rising like a volcanic eruption, and all his muscles were constricting.

“Don’t eat so quickly. You might die,” said the girl, seeing how desperate Su Ping was.

Su Ping had no time to talk. He closed his eyes and felt that his bones were burning and his muscles were spasming. A stream of holy energy was instilled into the vortices in his cells, creating an excited reaction which made revolve more intensely.

Those revolutions refined the astral power inside the vortices; it became more profound, but not any purer.

Su Ping’s astral power had been tempered by the Heavenly Tribulations again and again. It was so pure that the purifying pills didn’t really work on him.

However, the energy inside the divine pills had been transformed into astral power and made Su Ping’s storage even more magnificent.

Phew!

Su Ping’s skin was red and steaming. The Solar Bulwark inside his body was also activated; it emitted an ancient mythical aura.

The illusion of an enormous Golden Crow appeared behind Su Ping’s back.

The girl was shocked to see that. She could tell that the aura inside Su Ping’s body was even older than that of the Twilight Deity King. It belonged to an even older creature!

Is he truly the Twilight Deity King’s heir?

The girl’s eyes flashed. She merely fed pills to Su Ping without saying a word. Those supplements would strengthen him.

Su Ping swallowed all the pills, and his body trembled at times, with occasional rumbling noises. His body was becoming increasingly harder, and the hot air he was releasing had covered him completely, making him look like a steam train.
