When this sigh echoed, Su Ping suddenly felt that the shackles around him had disappeared. Light reappeared in his vision, but the Divine Palace in front of him was gone, and so was the Verdant Cloud Immortal King. A green ancient tree stood in front of him, exuding a vigorous vitality. The green luster on the leaves was like jade, making one's vision clear.
An old man was sitting below the tree with a chess board in front of him, and a purple toad was lying on the bench on his opposite side. It seemed to be in the middle of a game.
"Where are we?"
Green Lady opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that they were no longer within the range of the Divine Palace. She wasn't fully aware of the Deity Kings' methods, but the old man was obviously not the Blue Cloud Deity King. He was enshrouded in a mysterious vibe that she couldn't even perceive.
"She's already forgiven you. Don't do it again."
The old man stopped playing and looked at Su Ping and Green Lady. There was gentleness and righteousness on his old face. He asked in a low voice, "Where did you learn about the war that you mentioned?"
Green Lady asked in surprise, "You are?"
"Hehe. Ignorant junior, why don't you thank our master for saving your life?" At this moment, the toad snorted. It was the voice of a young girl, and her cheeks were puffed up when she spoke.
Recalling what happened just now, Su Ping immediately realized that it was the old man who saved them. He was rather confused, as the old man was probably a Deity King too, seeing that he had saved them easily from a Deity King. He immediately asked Green Lady telepathically, "Which Deity King is he? Do you know him?"
Green Lady shook her head. "I've met all the Deity Kings back then, but I don't know this one. He must've risen later."
"Senior, do you know about the war back then?"
"Back then?"
The old man was obviously stunned by Green Lady's description. He looked at her carefully and then at Su Ping who was next to her. There was no telling what he was thinking. After a while, he asked, "You're from somewhere else, aren't you?"
Green Lady gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, but I was born here."
"The Twilight Deity King is loyal to his friends. I didn't expect him to be so loyal to a pill …" The old man mumbled to himself, then shook his head and said, "Since you don't belong here, you'd better not stay here for long. As for what you want to ask, you'll find the answer in the future. The Blue Cloud Deity King is not a hypocrite. Don't offend him."
Green Lady looked awful when she heard him speak for the Blue Cloud Deity King. She said, "I only want to know the truth of what happened back then and what happened later."
The old man shook his head. "The truth you seek is meaningless. The ending has already been decided. If you really want to do something, you might as well live on."
"I …"
Green Lady obviously couldn't accept it, but the old man raised his hand to stop her. His every move seemed to be unquestionable. Green Lady didn't dare disobey him even though she was furious.
"The power in your body is quite special. It seems to belong to another cultivation system." The old man suddenly looked at Su Ping and said, "Using the power of spiritual beasts to increase your own strength. I've thought about it before, but I didn't know that such a way of cultivation really existed …"
Su Ping was stunned and felt a chill run down his spine. The old man had seen through his cultivation and background at one glance. That was too horrifying.
Was that the insight of a Celestial?
"Unfortunately, your energy is too weak and not as strong as the deity power. You also have divine power in your body. It's a power from the ancient times, but you only know how to store it instead of really absorbing it. Maybe it's because your heritage has already been lost. It's only normal that you don't know how to absorb and use it …" The old man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised a finger.
Light was gathered on his fingertip. It became brighter and brighter, as if billions of light needles had been condensed together. Eventually, the light was condensed into a point that looked like a rotating Yin Yang Taichi.
"This is the origin of the deity power. It can gradually transform the power in your body into deity power. In the meantime, there's also a little gift of mine. I hope you can take good care of it."
The moment the old man said that, the Yin Yang Taichi suddenly flew out and shot at Su Ping's forehead, before it quickly disappeared.
Su Ping immediately sensed that a very special power had emerged in his body. The power was dispersed in two different parts of his body. Then, he felt that the two parts of the sea of stars in his body were pulling each other, as if they were about to be combined into one.
"Young man, train hard. I hope that you can make the deity realm return one day. We'll keep fighting until that day comes."
The old man said softly with a smile.
Su Ping and Green Lady were both stunned. They couldn't understand the old man's words and actions at all. However, before they could say anything, the old man before them gradually became blurred, and a tremendous amount of white mist suddenly surged out of their bodies, completely blocking their vision. After a long time, when the mist dispersed, the giant tree and the old man were already gone.
…
"Master, you've given your heritage to a human boy so easily. That's too hasty."
The giant green tree stood between the sky and the earth. The old man and the purple toad were still sitting in front of the chessboard under the tree. The toad let out a pleasant girl's voice. There was a small black bell on its neck that looked small and cute.
"I can't see that human's past clearly. There should be an Emperor level existence hiding it. The energy and cultivation in his body are independent of the immortal technique. Just treat it as a good karma and leave a future for the great war in the future." The old man lowered his head with a faint smile on his face.
"How did they know about the war? That pill was still questioning why the Blue Cloud Deity King was still alive, but it didn't know that she died the most miserable death. She fought until the last drop of her blood and soul. She couldn't even enter the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. She could only wander in the chaotic void forever in the war. "
The purple toad blinked and said.
"The Deity Kings have tried their best. I … have tried my best too …" The old man's eyes flashed as he heaved a sigh.
…
"Where are we?"
Su Ping looked around, only to find that they were surrounded by intense demonic energy. They seemed to be in a Demon Beast Wasteland, with steaming swamps and forests around them.
Su Ping immediately remembered the old man's words. He quickly sensed his body, only to discover that there seemed to be two swirls in the depths of the sea of stars in his body. The two swirls attracted each other and absorbed the astral power, while the astral power spurted out from the other end of the swirls, only to be transformed into deity power!
Yes, it was the real deity power!
Su Ping was rather shocked. The two swirls were transforming the astral power in his body incessantly like deity power converters.
"Is he trying to transform me into a deity? He doesn't need to practice the deity system or go through the tribulation. He gave me a chance to become a deity with only one finger … "Su Ping was rather shocked. The old man's power was so horrifying that he wasn't even sure if he was a Deity King or a Deity Emperor.
"Have you ever seen Deity Emperor Luofu?" Su Ping suddenly thought of something and asked Green Lady.
Green Lady had been in a trance since a moment ago. Hearing Su Ping's question, she nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen Deity Emperor Luofu's bearing during his battles. Are you suspecting that the senior just now was him? Deity Emperor Luofu was vigorous and didn't look like an old man in his twilight years … "
At this point, she suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?"
Green Lady was rather surprised. Not to mention a Deity Emperor, even a Golden Deity could easily change their looks and aura. The old man just now had rescued them from the infuriated Deity King of Blue Clouds easily … Was he really that Deity Emperor?
However, he had already perished …
Green Lady was rather confused.
Seeing that she was in a daze again, Su Ping didn't ask further. Instead, he carefully sensed the changes in his body. Apart from the transformation of his astral power, Su Ping sensed that something flowed into his head when his consciousness sank into the swirl. It turned out to be a few secret techniques and a cultivation technique!
Su Ping was rather shocked after reading the cultivation technique, as it could help a mortal reach the Deity King level!
"The Universal Wheel Illuminating Sutra!"
Su Ping read the name of the technique and became even more curious about the old man's identity. He was certain that he was probably a Deity Emperor.
He gave me such a precious technique and helped me transform my divine power. He must be trying to train me. However, we've only met for the first time. Why is he so generous? Su Ping was rather confused.
He didn't suspect that the technique had been tampered with. If the old man wanted to kill him, it would've been as easy as crushing an ant. There was no need for him to play tricks.
Su Ping thought for a moment and decided to teach the technique to Green Lady.
Although Green Lady was an elixir, she was still qualified to cultivate to the King Realm. She was a bit shocked when she heard about this manual. A manual that could directly reach the Immortal King Realm could be considered a peerless treasure. The old man was definitely an Immortal Emperor if he gave it away so easily!
"It's useless for me to cultivate. You can eat me when you become a Golden Deity. I can increase your odds of becoming a king." Green Lady shook her head, not intending to cultivate.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He said helplessly, "Who says I'm going to eat you? I'll do it on my own if I want to become a king. I don't need to eat my own employees."
Green Lady's eyes glittered. She looked at Su Ping thoughtfully and said, "I know that you're talented, but you'll know that talent alone can't change anything once you become a Golden Deity. Becoming a king depends on luck, and I'm your luck."
Su Ping had long known that it was hard to reach the Ascendant State and even harder to become a Celestial, but he had never thought about eating Green Lady. However, it was too far away for him to talk about that right now. He shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later. You can practice when you're free. Even if you want to be eaten by me, maybe it'll be more effective after you practice."
Green Lady was stunned for a moment and rolled her eyes. However, she didn't think that Su Ping was really thinking about it when he said it so straightforwardly. She simply heaved a sigh and didn't refuse him again.
"He didn't let us go to the Blue Cloud Deity King. Do you have any other wishes?" asked Su Ping.
Green Lady slightly narrowed her eyes and looked around. "I want to take a look around."
