Due to the screen of light covering the battleship, the impact from Su Ming's cultivation base blocked all the ripples from spreading out. Not a single hint of his presence spread out, making it impossible for anyone to know what had happened.
Everything was normal.
The bald crane and the Abyss Dragon swaggered down the ship at that moment. The bald crane's eyes shone with a provocative look, and it would occasionally sweep its gaze past the cultivators sitting and meditating around it in an arrogant manner.
Perhaps the bald crane was a little tired after doing this for a long period of time, but an hour later, it returned to its room on the battleship. There, the Abyss Dragon stared at the bald crane. It had far too many questions, and it wanted to wait for the bald crane's explanation.
"Just what is going on?" the Abyss Dragon asked in a low voice.
"Y-y-you … I'm impressed. You still don't understand?" The bald crane yawned and cast a sideways glance at the Abyss Dragon before sighing.
The man who was the Abyss Dragon frowned, but did not speak.
"It's such a simple matter. We met a rich man, and I, the bald crane, was valued by him. He used a large sum of money to invite me to become his follower, and you followed me to benefit from it. It's that simple." The bald crane blinked.
"Then … what about Su Ming?" The Abyss Dragon was momentarily stunned. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at the bald crane.
"Let's not bother about him. He's too stingy. Look at how good our new master is. He gave us crystals the moment we met him. If we follow him, our future will definitely be bright, and we'll be able to return to True Morning Dao World. Isn't that great? You'll also be able to see your young master sooner." The bald crane cackled.
The Abyss Dragon hesitated again. It felt that this was not very good …
"Alright, when have you ever suffered when you followed me? Stop thinking about it. Once we return to True Morning Dao World, I'll accompany you to the Emperor of Abyss' World's Expanse Cosmos. At that time, don't forget the crystals you promised me." The bald crane yawned and crawled on the ground by the side. It had taken human form, but no matter how one looked at it, it still looked like a dead dog.
The Abyss Dragon sighed and no longer spoke. Instead, it crawled to another corner, and it … also looked like the big yellow dog.
When the Abyss Dragon sighed, a barely noticeable glint shone in the bald crane's eyes. the Abyss Dragon of the Abyss Dragon's intelligence could not understand the thoughts in its head.
'Heh heh, there's no one else in this world besides Su Ming who would throw a crystal to me the first time he sees me! 'This person was able to Possess even Ecang, and after he Possessed it, none of Ecang's souls were able to recognize him. Possessing a mere cultivator would be a piece of cake for him. Besides, I didn't pay attention to his soul before, but once I took a closer look, if it wasn't Su Ming, who else could it be?
'Ah, I'm still the smart one. It's a pity that there are far too few smart cranes in the world.' As the bald crane thought about it, a sentimental expression appeared on its face, as if it was looking down on all the other mountains.
The thirteen battleships sped through space. Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
They were already far away from Black Ink Planet. They were already about to enter the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean, and on their way, not a single force of power dared to harbor any ill will towards them.
When cultivators saw them, they would immediately avoid them, not daring to offend them.
In fact, some of the smaller planets and forces of power in the region between Black Ink Planet and the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean would let the thirteen battleships pass through once they noticed them.
If it were not for the thirteen battleships and if Su Ming was alone, then before he could even reach the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean, he would have been stopped more than once.
In this place, killing others and snatching their treasures was a matter of course. There were countless cases of the weak being trampled upon by the strong. Without sufficient power, no one would dare to go to Divine Essence Star Ocean.
Due to this law of survival, there were several rogue cultivators who acted like bandits in this region. They were watching the place with hostility, and they would swarm towards all prey that they believed they could snatch without any hesitation.
However, none of these forces of power dared to offend the thirteen awe-inspiring battleships.
Su Ming did not know about any of this. During the dozen something days, he had been immersed in increasing his level of cultivation. As he attempted to break through the bottlenecks again and again, he used the power of World Planes in Ecang's Expanse Cosmos to push his level of cultivation to the peak of the initial stage of World Plane Realm. With just one more step, he would be able to step into the middle stage of World Plane Realm.
However, this step was not easy to take. Once he attempted to break through the bottlenecks several times, Su Ming knew that even with Dao Kong's potential, he would still need around a hundred years before he could step into the middle stage of World Plane Realm.
Dao Kong's level of cultivation might have already surpassed the middle stage of World Plane Realm, but Su Ming had seen in Dao Kong's memories that while it was related to his potential that he had stepped into the middle stage of World Plane Realm, the most important reason was because of a great ceremony known as Morning Dao Pilgrimage.
Once a direct descendant reached a bottleneck in their level of cultivation, they would have a chance to go to Morning Dao Pilgrimage. They could only do it once, and there was a certain chance that they would be able to break through their bottleneck. However, the chances were largely related to their potential.
Dao Kong had reached the middle stage of World Plane Realm during Morning Dao Pilgrimage before he came to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
Once another attempt failed, Su Ming opened his eyes. A brilliant light shone in them, and after a moment of pensive silence, he patted his storage bag with his right hand. Immediately, a poisonous wasp appeared on his palm.
That poisonous wasp flapped its wings lightly and lay down on Su Ming's palm.
After being nourished for a thousand something years, the poisonous wasp had become incredibly close to Su Ming, and it had also reached the point where he could extract the God Ascension Nectar from its body. Su Ming sucked in a deep breath, and a hint of determination shone in his eyes.
The one thousand something years of nourishment allowed Su Ming to be certain that there was indeed God Ascension Nectar in the poisonous wasp's body. However, it was very difficult to extract the nectar completely. It had already fused with the poisonous wasp, and the only way to extract it was …
To use its poison!
The poisonous wasp's poison contained God Ascension Nectar, and Su Ming needed to control the amount of the God Ascension Nectar in its body.
With a single thought, the poisonous wasp in Su Ming's hand disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already on Su Ming's chest, and the poisonous stinger on its tail turned into a freezing ray of light that stabbed into his body.
If the poisonous wasp did this without sufficient nourishment and familiarity, then a large amount of poison would pour into Su Ming's body. At that time, what awaited Su Ming would no longer be a serendipity, but a crisis.
Yet now, in Su Ming's divine sense, even though the poisonous wasp had stabbed its poisonous stinger into his body, it was still carefully controlling its poison. It was injecting the God Ascension Nectar in its body bit by bit into Su Ming's body along with the poison.
In just a moment, Su Ming's body turned purplish black. The poisonous wasp quickly pulled out its poisonous stinger and flew around Su Ming. There seemed to be a hint of anxiety in its buzzing.
Su Ming's face had also turned purplish black at that moment. His body trembled. The poisonous wasp's poison had already covered his entire body as it circulated through his blood, but since he had controlled the amount, the poison would not take effect instantly. Instead, it was kept within a range Su Ming could withstand.
He sucked in a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Several days later, the purplish black hue on Su Ming's body slowly faded away until it gathered on his right index finger, causing it to turn black. Su Ming opened his eyes, and he sliced his index finger with his fingernail. Immediately, black blood flowed out.
When all the poisonous blood flowed out, there was no longer any poison in Su Ming's body. Instead, there was … a hint of a golden substance that looked like honey in his blood. It was a long thread, but it did not fuse with his blood.
That hint of golden substance was … God Ascension Nectar!
More accurately speaking, the amount of it was only a tiny bit of the nectar in the poisonous wasp's body. However, it was precisely this tiny bit of nectar that allowed Su Ming to close his eyes again and circulate his cultivation base at full force while urging his Qi to fuse with the poison. Thunder immediately roared in his head.
The booming sounds replaced Su Ming's consciousness, and in an instant, a violent wave of power erupted from his body with loud, booming sounds.
God Ascension Nectar was a supreme treasure Su Ming had obtained from Yin Death Region. It was known as the God Ascension Nectar, and it was said that this nectar could turn a mortal into a god. It might seem like an exaggeration, but the mere existence of such a legend was enough to prove just how shocking this item had been during the ancient era.
It could be said that this God Ascension Nectar had long since gone extinct in the universe. It was impossible to find even a single bit of it, but due to the serendipity of the universe, a poisonous wasp … had left behind some nectar in its body.
And that poisonous wasp had not died, but was being kept alive by Su Ming!
This was a serendipity, a serendipity that belonged to Su Ming.
In fact, if anyone else learned that Su Ming possessed God Ascension Nectar, then perhaps even the four Great True Worlds would be plunged into a disaster to fight over the poisonous wasp.
The God Ascension Nectar was a supreme treasure that could make the ferocious beasts in the universe go mad!
This … was a wondrous item that should not exist in the universe!
It was just a hint of it, but it already made Su Ming feel as if his body was burning. It boiled under the booming sounds, and even his will instantly scattered. It was the same for his cultivation base clone, and it was the same for his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole. However, Su Ming's Ecang clone remained clear-headed under the booming sounds, guiding Su Ming's soul to indirectly control his cultivation base clone to continuously circulate his cultivation base to melt that hint of God Ascension Nectar.
Every single time Su Ming circulated his cultivation base once, the God Ascension Nectar would melt a little, and his cultivation base would increase exponentially in the midst of the booming sounds. The bottleneck between the peak of the initial stage of World Plane Realm and the middle stage of World Plane Realm was broken with just nine circulations of his cultivation base.
Even as his cultivation base reached a breakthrough, Su Ming still could not gather his will together. The power of the God Ascension Nectar in his body was simply too strong, and he even had the misconception that his body was about to explode.
At the instant he absorbed the God Ascension Nectar and circulated his cultivation base for the tenth time, the screen of light formed by the warship could not withstand the vast presence spreading out from Su Ming's body. With a bang, it shattered inch by inch.
Once the screen of light shattered, all the cultivators on the warship instantly looked over. The hearts of the nine old men trembled, and they swiftly rose to their feet.
In fact, all thirteen warships stopped at that moment.
"Young Master, train. Warships, surround and protect him!" the old man with the oldest face among the nine old men immediately said in an awe-inspiring voice.
It was also at that instant that the expressions of the nine old men suddenly changed. They looked towards the dark galaxy in the distance. In fact, Xu Hui also walked out of space by the side. She cast a solemn look at Su Ming before immediately looking into the distance.
The space in the distance was filled with dead silence, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that there was a ball of black fog that was swiftly swelling up in all directions.
As it swelled up, faint sounds that sounded like the cries of babies could be heard.
Those were … the powerful ferocious beasts in the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean that had been lured over by the God Ascension Nectar! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
