Why did he have to snort?
Su Ping was confused. But soon, the rich astral power around him made him forget about those trivial matters. He ran into the embrace of the ocean of astral power.
Su Ping didn't even notice the sudden appearance of the Ascendant State old man. He had set up a barrier before he started training in case he was spied on. After all, he had to be vigilant.
"You can come out too."
Su Ping summoned the Chaos Beast, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon and asked them to shrink to the size of a lion.
Then, it was time to cultivate happily.
Outside of the astral formation — Lou Lanlin was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet after seeing that Su Ping had set up a barrier and blocked Su Ping's view. She didn't know why she was angry, but she was.
"Princess Lin …" Someone greeted her.
"Get lost."
"Okay."
The uproar in the square gradually died down. Once Su Ping stepped into the Prime Seat and isolated himself, the onlookers withdrew their gazes.
In the crowd — the Duke who had been in the Prime Seat was at a loss for words.
"Boss, Consul Yu is really biased. He's just an outsider. Why is he allowed to train in the best place in our family? He's just an outsider. We'll have to rely on our own people if anything happens to our family in the future!"
"Exactly. He's just a guest. He'll definitely run away if anything happens to him."
The young men who had been following the Duke all year round murmured and felt indignant for the Duke.
"Keep your voices down." The Duke withdrew his gaze and glared at them. "You've been following me for a long time. Don't you know what to say and what not to? Didn't you see how he resisted Ye Ling? He's already so strong when he's only in the Star State. I don't know what methods he used, but he was able to defeat Ye Ling. Even Ye Ling will be no match for him when he becomes a Star Lord! "
"Why would we piss off such a person?"
"Well."
The lackeys realized what was going on and shut their mouths.
At the same time, in the central meeting hall of the planet, an old figure suddenly appeared. He came to a large hall outside the meeting hall and entered after being notified by the guard.
"Patriarch, this happened just now in the Cultivation Sacred Land. Take a look." The old man was none other than Consul Yu. With a wave of his hand, a fragment of time appeared. It was the scene of Su Ping confronting Ye Ling.
"Hmm?"
At the top of the hall, a burly middle-aged man with a dignified but gentle face raised his eyebrows slightly. When the time disappeared, there was some shock in his eyes. He sighed and said, "He is indeed a disciple of a Supreme Being. I heard that he was accepted as a disciple by the Supreme Being during the Star Zone Battle. The Supreme Being's eyes are indeed sharp."
"Indeed. He's only in the Star State, yet he's already comparable to a genius like Ye Ling. Even if there's a gap, it won't be too big. That's incredible!" Consul Yu couldn't help but sigh. It was hard to imagine that a Star State warrior could unleash such potential. Every level had its upper limit.
Su Ping had condensed a small world when he was only in the Fate State, which was basically the ultimate limit of the Fate State.
In the past, only those with feathers and phoenix horns had managed to do it. Those people had either fallen or had already become supreme beings!
At that moment, Su Ping had broken the limit of the Star State again. His future would be limitless if he could keep up the momentum!
"There were some disputes in the family about him becoming a guest, but I don't think there's anything to say now." The patriarch of the Loulan family chuckled and said, "Consul Yu did a great job of winning him over. I hope that the Loulan family will befriend another Heavenly Lord in the years to come."
"Patriarch, I've given him the best seat in the Cultivation Sacred Land. Considering that he doesn't visit us often, I don't think it's a loss," said Consul Yu respectfully.
"It's fine. I've approved it. Don't worry about disputes," said the patriarch of the Loulan family with a smile. The patriarch of the Loulan family smiled. He knew why Consul Yu had come. The Loulan family had countless branches, and they weren't exactly united. However, as the patriarch, he was in charge of making the final decisions; he wouldn't allow gratuitous disputes to harm the family's interests.
After all, Su Ping was being served well, and it would be stupid if someone opposed Su Ping and caused trouble for him.
Consul Yu was reassured after hearing the patriarch's words. He turned around and left; he had to inform the people around him about the matter and make friends with the disciple of the Supreme God.
The ceremony was just around the corner; all the members of the Loulan family were busy preparing for it. While the surface of the planet was bustling, the news of the confrontation between Su Ping and Ye Ling spread. After all, both of them were top geniuses; a lot of forces were paying attention to them. The news quickly spread out of the planet and reached the intelligence organizations in every corner of the universe.
…
"The astral power is unbelievably dense. One star per day!" Inside the astral formation, Su Ping was condensing the stars with all his might. The astral power he absorbed was automatically transformed into divine power in the swirl deep in the sea of stars. Su Ping's body was also changing under the influence of the divine power; he was gradually turning into a deity.
He was half a deity at the moment.
When he was fully transformed into a deity, he would be able to transform his astral power into divine power without the help of the swirl. It also meant that he would be able to transfer his divine power to other people and battle pets to help them transform their bodies!
It's more efficient to condense stars with divine power. If I can transform my astral power into divine power, I'll probably be able to further improve. Next time I go to the Demigod Burial, I'll ask Joanna to help me find the Superior Gods there.
Su Ping was looking forward to it, but he wasn't in a hurry. Divine power was ten times stronger than celestial power. If he could transform his astral power into divine power, the increase would be twice as strong. Converting his astral power into divine power wouldn't help him as much as converting his astral power into divine power.
The divine power seems to be the peak of all the species in the universe. Beyond that, there are some rare divine beasts.
Su Ping remembered his Solar Bulwark. Unfortunately, even though he could transform astral power into Golden Crow power, he was still unfamiliar with the use of the Golden Crow's power. He only knew some of the Golden Crow's secret skills that he had inherited from the Golden Crow's body. Those skills were powerful, but they were simple. That was why Su Ping had reserved his astral power.
I'll go to the Golden Crow's world when I have time to visit and learn from them, Su Ping said to himself.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had condensed fifteen stars in the first place.
Condensing the seventh Greater Thousand Star Painting required sixty-three stars. Adding the ones he had condensed earlier, he already had twenty-eight stars. He would be able to complete it after another month of cultivation.
I don't want to leave. Su Ping was truly reluctant to leave.
However, someone was calling him from outside the astral array.
Su Ping had no choice but to stop cultivating. He recalled the Dark Dragon Hound and the little Chaos Beast and checked their level. The one that had changed the most was indeed the little Chaos Beast. It had already reached the Fate State and was much stronger. Su Ping felt that regular Star Lords would be no match for it.
That was how unreasonable it was.
A small world? The little Chaos Beast didn't have one, but the chaos aura inside its body was enough to smash through a small world.
Yes, it could suppress a Star Lord with brute force alone.
"You should hurry up and cultivate too. Don't let it catch up to you," Su Ping urged the Dark Dragon Hound and the Little Skeleton.
The little beasts looked at the little Chaos Beast with resentment. Although the training with Su Ping had been cruel and arduous, they had gradually gotten used to it. They didn't expect a new scroll to appear.
After leaving the astral array, Su Ping saw that a lot of people had gathered outside. There were fewer members of the Lou Lan family around. Lou Lanfeng and Consul Yu were standing outside the astral array and looking at him with a smile. Su Ping somehow felt that the smile was a bit creepy.
"Master Su, sorry to disturb your cultivation. The ceremony of our family is about to begin. We invite you to the auditorium," said Lou Lanfeng with a chuckle. He had already changed the way he addressed Su Ping; it sounded more affectionate.
Su Ping guessed that was the reason. He asked, "How long will the ceremony last? Will we go to the Unreal Ocean after it's over?"
Lou Lanfeng nodded and said, "Yes. The ceremony will last for three days. Friends from all the star zones in the universe will come. I'm sure a lot of people will want to make friends with you, considering your status."
Su Ping shook his head and said, "No need for that. I just want to cultivate."
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but that he found pleasure in cultivation. It was like an otaku chatting with someone while playing games. Everybody could understand that feeling.
"Master Su, it's true that you're diligent in cultivation, but you still have a long way to go. Many of them will be in the Ascendant State. It'll be more convenient for you to travel in the universe if you have more friends," said Consul Yu with a smile.
"Is it inconvenient for me to travel right now?" Su Ping was confused.
Consul Yu was lost for words. He then said with a bitter smile, "Of course it's convenient for you to travel, but there are countless treasures, relics and secret places in the universe that are beneficial for your cultivation. All those places are occupied by different forces. Master Su, you have an extraordinary status and you're a master of our family, but some forces won't be willing to give up their interests just because of that …"
He spoke vaguely, thinking that Su Ping should be able to understand.
Su Ping shook his head and said, "The conditions offered by the Loulan family are enough for me to cultivate. My master will provide me with resources, too. There are a lot of treasures and relics, but I don't necessarily need all of them. Besides, it won't be too late for me to explore them after I reach the Ascendant State. I believe someone will be willing to do me a favor by then."
Consul Yu was lost for words again. He realized that Su Ping did have a point. However, he was only trying to persuade the Loulan family. Su Ping was indeed not short of resources, but Su Ping's connections could also be used by the Loulan family. The Loulan family had been around for so many years, and their businesses were spread all over the universe. The members of the family were more or less business-like.
Lou Lanfeng could tell what was on Su Ping's mind, so he stopped Consul Yu from talking. He smiled and said, "Master Su, let's go to the ceremony first. Right, what do you think of Princess Lin?"
"Princess Lin?" Su Ping was stunned. "Is she the grandma who wants to challenge me?"
"Grandma …" Lou Lanfeng almost choked on blood. He was about to ask Su Ping about his impression of Lin. If Su Ping's impression of Lin was good, he could push the boat with the current and propose marriage. However, Su Ping's words made him swallow the rest of his words.
Consul Yu was also stunned. He looked at Lou Lanfeng, wondering if he had heard wrong.
"Well, Master Su, you're still young, but it takes a long time to reach the Ascendant State from the Star Lord level. Ye Ling, who you met earlier, has been stuck for more than 1,500 years. Of course, it's normal for him to be stuck for tens of thousands of years. After all, there's no time limit to the barrier. Anyone who can make a breakthrough before the end of their life is considered a genius."
Lou Lanfeng coughed lightly and said implicitly, "Although Princess Lin is a hundred years older than you, this difference in age is completely negligible. Moreover, Princess Lin has always been cultivating in my clan and rarely goes out. She is also immersed in cultivation, so her mind is no different from a child."
Su Ping secretly heaved a sigh. He could no longer pretend to be ignorant. He said, "She's a nice person. You can make friends with her."
Lou Lanfeng was relieved and smiled. "Princess Lin has a bit of a temper, but she's not a bad person. She doesn't have the arrogance of a young lady. You should be able to become good friends."
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go to the ceremony first." Su Ping didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Lou Lanfeng nodded and winked at Consul Yu. Consul Yu understood and said goodbye to Su Ping, then left in a hurry.
Lou Lanfeng, on the other hand, took Su Ping to the venue of the ceremony.
"How close do you want me to get to know that guy?" In the square, Lou Lanlin doubted her ears after hearing Consul Yu's words. She widened her eyes and said, "What do you mean? If you want to make friends, there are so many guys in the clan. Can't they go?"
Consul Yu smiled bitterly. "Miss Lin, guys can only be brothers. You're different."
"You want me to marry him?" Lou Lanlin, who was born in a big clan, was used to marriage. Her expression changed and her eyes darkened. She said, "Have you asked my parents or my master about this?"
"The clan has already discussed it. Also, Heaven Monarch Jianlan has agreed. He is a good match, but …" Consul Yu paused and said, "But you have to admit it yourself. The clan won't force you. After all, you are a top genius in our clan. We are only facilitating this kind of private matter. It's fine if you two like each other, but if not, no one will force you."
Lou Lanlin let out a breath and snorted. "That's more like it. In that case, it's impossible. I've already said that before I become a Heaven Monarch, I won't be distracted. I want to inherit my grandmother's legacy. Although I admit that the guy you have your eyes on is very outstanding, I'm not that far off. When I become a god, I also have hopes of becoming a Heaven Monarch!"
Consul Yu smiled bitterly. With Lou Lanlin's talent, it would be difficult for her to become a Heaven Monarch. Even if she could become a Heaven Monarch, she wouldn't be a top Heaven Monarch like Su Ping. After all, Lou Lanlin had already spent a lot of resources in the clan to cultivate to her current level. Her potential had already been estimated.
Her family had arranged for her to marry Su Ping because it would be a strong alliance. If both of them reached the Ascendant State, they would be a perfect couple.
"If there is a chance, Princess Lin, you should wait. After all, you have to marry. If you miss this one, you might not meet someone better in the future." Consul Yu advised.
Lou Lanlin raised her eyebrows. She was moved by these words. To be honest, after the previous interaction, she didn't have any dislike for Su Ping. Of course, she didn't have a good impression of him either. When Su Ping provoked Ye Ling, she stepped in because Su Ping was her clan's consecrator. She didn't want to see her consecrator being humiliated. It would be a disgrace to the Lou Lanlin Clan.
"Let's talk about it later." Lou Lanlin snorted and left.
Consul Yu was helpless; the two of them were each more difficult to deal with.
On the other side — Su Ping and Lou Lanfeng had already arrived at the venue of the ceremony. It was the most prosperous place on the planet — a magnificent city in the sky!
There were floating stairs that were as large as hills; they were all raised by special devices. There was also a nebula above their heads that was sprinkling astral crystals all the time.
Dragons and phoenixes were flying around the city in the sky.
Su Ping sensed a lot of vague Ascendant State auras as soon as he arrived. Obviously, there were many Ascendants in the city, most of whom were honorable guests invited by the Lou Lanfeng family.
Lou Lanfeng received Su Ping in person and led him to a viewing platform in the city where beautiful women were waiting on him. If Su Ping had watched TV often, he would have noticed that they were top actresses on a certain planet.
"Please take a rest here, Consecrator Su. Just let them know if you need anything," said Lou Lanfeng with a smile.
Su Ping nodded and sat down.
The four beautiful maids looked at Su Ping curiously, but they didn't dare to be too obvious. Being a consecrator of the Lou Lanfeng family meant that he was more important than the lord of a galaxy!
Even a strand of his hair would be more valuable than theirs. However, no matter how they looked at Su Ping, he was like a boy next door. He was very gentle, different from the intimidating aura of the big shots they met on a daily basis.
Soon after Su Ping took his seat, someone asked, "Is this Consecrator Su?"
