"You have seen many incomplete Great Daos in the Divine Sea Mystic Realm, but you must remember that you cannot be infatuated with them. If you imitate the Dao of others, you will never be able to ascend to divinity. Even if you imitate the exact same Dao, it will still be useless.
Elder Yan warned him again.
He had seen a lot of geniuses studying the ancient paths, only to be mesmerized by them and unable to extricate themselves. When they tried to establish their own paths, they would be disrupted by other paths and eventually fail.
"Okay."
Su Ping nodded.
After hearing Elder Yan's introduction, he realized that the paths that Ascendant State experts grasped were different from those of the ancient times. However, it was not hard to grasp paths that had been passed down since ancient times. After all, those paths were the foundation of the universe; they couldn't be easily grasped.
Su Ping didn't think it was possible. There were already plenty of ancient paths in the universe; he couldn't think of any that could compare to fire, light, darkness, time and life.
"You've just absorbed the Phoenix's divine blood. How do you feel?"
Elder Yan glanced at Su Ping and asked about him.
"My body has been strengthened a lot. The law of fire has also been perfected. I feel that I can enter the path soon," said Su Ping.
Elder Yan was stunned for a moment. He then said with mixed feelings, "That's both a good and bad thing. It'll be more difficult for you to establish your own path if you're too familiar with other primitive paths. Even if you're able to enter the path with the fire class, you won't be able to condense a Divine Seal."
"I know."
Su Ping nodded.
Ascendant State experts could also imitate other people's paths apart from their own. However, the power of the imitated paths would be much weaker than the ones they had established themselves.
Also, it would take a lot of time and effort to imitate other people's paths. For example, some primitive paths had been passed down to this day, and everybody could only borrow the power of those paths; they couldn't resonate with their own Divine Seal, so they couldn't carry out the true power of the paths!
"Now that you've completed the first segment, you can start practicing the second segment. It's to strengthen your Star Sea and increase your strength. How much you can strengthen depends on your own potential," said Elder Yan.
Su Ping nodded.
"This is a Star Soul Dan!"
Elder Yan took out a purple box and said, "This is made of thirty-six rare Star Lord dragons, which are on the verge of extinction in the Federation. They're being taken care of by top divine trainers, but their numbers are still dwindling. It's possible that this pill will be completely extinct in a few decades."
Su Ping was stunned. He didn't need to think to know how precious this pill was.
Before the purple box was even opened, Su Ping could already feel a blazing power that was as hot as the sun. It was restless, as if it would break out of the box at any moment.
"It's the easiest way to absorb this pill with the help of the Tristar Abyss Star Formation, and its effects will be maximized. Rest for four hours and get used to your body before we begin," said Elder Yan.
Su Ping nodded and returned to the training room. He then examined every part of his body with astral power, trying to get used to it.
The absorption of the Undying Bird's divine blood had greatly changed Su Ping's body. Although he hadn't reached the fifth level of the Solar Bulwark, the power of the Solar Bulwark inside his body was significantly stronger than before. His physical strength had also reached the peak of the Star Lord State!
He felt that he could fight the Star Lord Heavenly Talent who ranked 75th with his physical strength at the moment!
Soon after, the aura of the Undying Bird that was spreading in the training room and inside Su Ping's body was completely withdrawn. It had been consolidated in Su Ping's body.
Elder Yan had already set up the formation for Su Ping. The Tristar Abyss Star Formation rose in the training room. The blue patterns were connected and circled around Su Ping like dragons.
Elder Yan opened the purple box with a tap of his finger, and a ball of dazzling light burst out from within. It was like a glowing pearl, obscuring its true form.
"Open your mouth."
Elder Yan flicked his finger and the Astral Soul Pill flew straight into Su Ping's mouth. Su Ping felt as if he was holding a ball of warm snow. The pill quickly melted and turned into a stream of heat that flowed down his throat and along his blood vessels. In an instant, his entire body was boiling.
Su Ping sensed that astral power was flowing through his veins, which soon nourished his internal organs.
Roar!
All of a sudden, Su Ping heard a dragon's roar in his head. The roar was filled with regret, anger, pain, and deterrence. If someone with a weak mind were to take the pill, they would probably be scared out of their wits and pass out, which would cause the pill to lose its effect.
The Tristar Abyss Star Formation around Su Ping suddenly activated. The sea dragons made of countless patterns swooped down and surrounded Su Ping, entangling him. The patterns stuck to Su Ping's body and flowed into his body, resonating with his astral power and suppressing the scorching astral power into Su Ping's sea of stars.
A sea of stars was gradually formed near the sea of stars.
The sea of stars was relatively spacious and contained dragon power. Waves of attraction were coming from it. Su Ping was suddenly enlightened. He immediately poured his astral power into the sea of stars to open up the space inside the dragon soul.
Soon, the space inside the dragon soul was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gradually, the sea of stars turned from blue to light blue, and in the end, it was almost transparent.
Su Ping knew that the sea of stars had been opened up to the limit. More astral power would cause it to explode.
Why don't I call this Astral Soul Pill the Astral Breakthrough Pill? It can open up a second sea of stars. Even an average battle pet warrior would become a genius right away after taking it. After all, the astral power would be doubled!
Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. The sea of stars was not as large as the astral power he had stored in his body, but it had increased his astral power by almost five percent!
That was because the astral power stored in Su Ping's sea of stars was only five percent of his astral power.
The remaining five percent was distributed to the countless cells in his body.
A long time later.
Su Ping gradually stabilized the sea of stars and integrated it with his body. His astral power flowed between the two seas without any hindrance.
"How is it?"
Outside — the astral formation was gone, and everything was back to normal in the training room. Elder Yan looked at Su Ping with glittering eyes. He didn't directly examine Su Ping's body with his abilities; he simply inquired politely.
Su Ping opened his eyes and stood up. "I've absorbed it."
"Have you opened up a second sea of stars? Attack me with the astral power of your second sea of stars," said Elder Yan with a smile.
Su Ping nodded. He didn't need to worry about hurting the man at all, considering his level. He instantly activated the power of his second sea of stars and pushed it towards Elder Yan with pure astral power.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of Elder Yan that blocked the power. He stood still and simply looked at the star power that was getting denser and denser. Shock slowly appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Are you sure you've only used the star power of the second galaxy?"
"Yes." Su Ping nodded.
Elder Yan's eyes glittered as he said, "Go on. Try your best!"
"Okay."
Su Ping fully unleashed the power of his second sea of stars. The magnificent astral power almost drowned the training room like an ocean; it was almost thick.
Su Ping didn't lower his arms until he ran out of power, and all the astral power flowed back into his body.
"The amount of astral power you have … is equal to forty advanced Star State experts!" Elder Yan looked at Su Ping in shock as he withdrew his astral power. The Astral Soul Pill was surprisingly effective; it had opened up such an enormous sea of stars inside Su Ping's body. It was absolutely worth it!
Su Ping sensed it and found that it was exactly as Elder Yan had estimated.
When he was in the Fate State, he had accumulated as much astral power as fifty Star State experts. Now that he had reached the Star State, his astral power was almost equal to that of a hundred Star State experts. The pill had increased his strength by almost half. It was a major breakthrough!
"It seems that it will be easy for you to make it to the top fifty of the Divine Lord Rank after you finish your training as a sixth-ring Star State expert." Elder Yan remarked with mixed feelings. Su Ping's two training sessions had exceeded his expectations. It was also obvious that Su Ping had taken too few rare materials, and his body wasn't resistant to them.
If he was already a medicine pot, the effects of the Astral Soul Pill and the Undying Bird's divine blood would be greatly reduced.
"Maybe." Su Ping was looking forward to it.
He had already sensed a significant improvement in his combat ability after the first two rounds. It was obvious that his master had put a lot of effort into the training.
Elder Yan nodded and said, "You've absorbed enough for today. Take a rest for a couple of days. We'll complete one round every week!"
"Okay."
Su Ping nodded.
After Elder Yan left, Su Ping continued training in the training room while he adapted to his new body.
"With the amount of astral power in my body, I think it's very likely that I can condense the third Star Atlas," Su Ping thought to himself.
Without further ado, he mobilized his astral power and lit up the stars in his cells. The astral power in each cell had to be accumulated to a certain extent before it would change from flesh cells to pure astral power cells, which were the stars described in the technique!
Then, he had to connect the stars to form a Star Atlas and generate a special astral force field!
Su Ping felt that the speed at which he condensed the stars had increased significantly as astral power poured into him.
Time flew by.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Su Ping continued to train in the last four rounds, which were willpower, secret skills, laws, and faith!
Su Ping's willpower was already extremely strong, so the training didn't have an obvious effect on it. As for the secret skill, it was a Supreme God technique that Elder Yan had taught him. It was a sword technique called Thousand Rain!
There were three moves in the technique.
With Elder Yan's careful guidance and explanations, it took Su Ping a week to successfully grasp the first move and become a beginner.
The first move was as powerful as the fourth move of Su Ping's Path of the Divine Sword, which was second only to his strongest move, Heavenly Fall!
According to Elder Yan, Su Ping would be able to easily kill a Star Lord if he grasped the second move. The second move was even more complicated; it contained not only laws, but also the power of faith. The third move was the same.
As for the law of the fifth round, Su Ping was quite surprised; it was the law of life, one of the four supreme laws!
Su Ping didn't expect that the legendary mysterious supreme law would be taught to him just like that. Su Ping didn't see that coming.
"Although the four supreme laws are rare, they aren't rare in the Ascendant State. Everybody is focused on establishing their own path. The supreme laws are powerful, but they're just laws after all. They can only be imitated even if they've grasped the essence of the path. They're not very meaningful for Ascendant State experts."
Elder Yan explained to Su Ping, "However, normal Ascendant State experts haven't fully grasped the four supreme laws yet, but Celestials are different. Laws are as simple as building blocks in their eyes."
Su Ping realized that the law of life wasn't very influential for Ascendant State experts, but it was very meaningful for those below the Ascendant State. Six Lives Buddha, who had mastered the path of time and space, could easily dominate his peers. It wasn't hard to imagine how horrifying the four supreme laws were.
Su Ping grasped the basic form of the law of life under Elder Yan's guidance. The small world he established was even harder and wider after being reinforced by the law of life.
The last one was the power of faith.
It was a pure gift.
A tremendous amount of power of faith flooded into Su Ping's small world. According to Elder Yan, it was a special gift that Lord God had prepared for Su Ping.
"Can the power of faith be given away?"
Su Ping was shocked and confused.
"It can't be given away for normal people, but it's not a big deal for Celestials." Elder Yan said with a smile, "It's not the power of faith that the master's believers give him; it's the power of faith that the master creates and makes them worship you!"
"Create lives?"
Su Ping was stunned.
Elder Yan chuckled and said, "Of course, that's the ability of Celestials. Why else would they be called eternal true gods? They have every mythical ability that you can imagine. Creating objects and lives out of thin air is something that they can easily do. What you need is the power of faith. Celestials only need to create a batch of creatures and make them worship you. That way, they can harvest the power of faith incessantly."
Su Ping was shocked. Is that what a Celestial is like?
Creating lives casually is already worthy of being called a Creator!
"So to speak, I have a batch of believers in Celestials' world? Are those lives … any different from us? "Su Ping couldn't help but ask.
Elder Yan shook his head and said, "There isn't any difference. If I have to say, it's difficult for the lives that Celestials create to be geniuses with great aptitudes. Even if they use the power of laws, the lives they create will have limited aptitudes; they can only reach the Star Lord State at best. It's very difficult for them to reach the Ascendant State!
"You won't be able to understand the reason even if I explain it to you. As for your believers, you don't need to think too much about it. They were created only for the power of faith. They must've died of old age or become food for other birds in Lord God's world, returning to primitive energy."
