Su Ping looked at the source of the voice.
An old man with red hair and eyebrows sat on the viewing platform next to him. He had red hair and red eyebrows, and a two to three-meter-long wine gourd was leaning on his back. At this moment, he was holding a bottle of purple wine in his hand.
Su Ping nodded after seeing that the man meant no harm. "That's me. Senior, are you a guest of the Loulan family, too?"
"I've heard that an unparalleled genius was born in this year's Universe Geniuses' Contest. You've condensed a small world when you're only in the Fate State. You have a promising future!"
The red-browed old man chuckled. "I didn't expect that the Loulan family would be able to invite you. It seems that they've spent a lot of money. Since you call me senior, I'll propose a toast to you. Come on."
He poured the purple wine in his hand into the big bowl beside him and drank it without hesitation.
Su Ping had no choice but to pour himself a bowl of wine. He said with a smile, "Senior, you're an Ascendant State expert. It's only right for me to call you senior."
"You're too polite, Mr. Su. You can call me Brother Nine if you don't mind."
The old man with red eyebrows didn't put on any airs as an Ascendant State expert. He said casually, "It won't be long before Sir Su reaches our level. Considering his talents, I might even have to ask for your favor."
"Senior, you're being too polite. I'm not worthy of your praise," Su Ping replied with a smile.
The red-eyebrowed old man squinted, as if he were sizing Su Ping up. "Sir Su, I can see that you're still young and the path of cultivation is long and boring. This prosperous world is too beautiful to behold. Sir Su, are you interested in taking a look?"
"Oh?"
"I have a junior who's as beautiful as a fairy. She's the most beautiful woman in our galaxy. I can ask her to be your concubine if you're willing," said the red-browed old man with a smile.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He instantly realized that the old man was there to propose marriage.
"Senior, beauty will interfere with my cultivation. I'll think about it when I reach the Ascendant State," Su Ping declined politely.
The red-browed old man heaved a sigh. "You'll feel different about beauty once you reach the Ascendant State. You won't be able to experience it after you reach the Ascendant State. After all, you'll have condensed a Divine Seal by then and will be able to see through a person's bones. Your mind will be as tranquil as water."
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He asked with a weird expression, "Senior, are you saying that I'll have erectile dysfunction after I reach the Ascendant State?"
Hearing such intimate words, the beautiful women serving the two beside them blinked their eyes repeatedly. They felt as if they had heard an earth-shattering revelation: Shocking! The Ascendant State experts had gathered …
"Cough!"
The old man with red eyebrows almost choked. He looked around and felt that the maids' eyes were hiding a trace of strangeness. He was a bit speechless and said, "Of course not. Don't get the wrong idea. What I mean is that some things, when you look at it with your current comprehension and realm, will have a different feeling when you look at it again when you reach a different realm."
"Just like when you're weak, you can feel the heat of the sun. But when you're strong, you won't feel it anymore. Maybe you think it's good, but in fact, that feeling of being burned has already been taken away from you."
"The stronger you are, the more things you'll lose. You'll lose a lot of feelings and feelings."
Sorrow flashed in the red-browed old man's eyes as he spoke. He heaved a sigh and said, "Strength can only be obtained at the cost of many precious things. You'll no longer be able to feel certain things once you're strong. So … you should start a family while you're still young. Even if you don't, you should at least enjoy yourself. You won't be drinking wine when you reach the Ascendant State; you'll be drinking time and thoughts."
Su Ping realized something. He did feel that he was slowly losing some things, especially the subtle feelings.
It was said that the strong were lonely.
Maybe that loneliness didn't come from the lack of companionship, but from the fact that he couldn't find the familiar feelings.
Deep in thought, Su Ping asked, "Senior, will I really have erectile dysfunction after I reach the Ascendant State?"
"Pfft!"
The red-browed old man spurted out his wine and glared at Su Ping. "What are you talking about? How is that possible? Even an Ocean State kid can fix such a minor problem. Do you think an Ascendant State expert would have such a problem?"
"If that's the case, let's talk about it in the future. I need to train anyway," said Su Ping quickly.
The red-browed elder was speechless. He thought for a moment and then waved his finger. A light shadow appeared, and a red-haired woman appeared. She looked extremely beautiful and had quite a personality. He said, "How about it? Are you really not going to consider it?"
Su Ping looked at her and shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I'm not interested for now."
In terms of looks, Su Ping had been influenced by Joanna and Green Lady. He had also seen the goddesses in the cultivation sites and the Deity King fairy in Luofu. All of them were more stunning than the last; Su Ping was already immune to their looks.
Seeing that Su Ping was unmoved, the red-browed old man frowned and heaved a sigh. He put away the image and thought even more highly of Su Ping. It was hard to imagine what could hinder a genius who could resist boredom and beauty.
"Fine, it's good to cultivate in peace. I'll congratulate you in advance and hope that you can reach the Ascendant State soon." The red-browed old man shook his head and finished his wine.
Seeing that, Su Ping drank another bowl of wine with him.
At that moment, Ascendant State experts arrived one after another; they seemed to be the Loulan family's representatives. They greeted the red-browed old man as if they were familiar with him.
When they noticed that Su Ping was the disciple of the Supreme God, the servants of the Loulan Family surrounded him and tried to introduce him to girls. Some of them even gave him some strange cultivation treasures.
It was better to invest early.
Considering Su Ping's fame and potential, those Ascendant State experts didn't put on airs in front of him. Su Ping probably wouldn't even need to talk to them when he became an Ascendant State expert or even a Heavenly Lord. However, things were different at the moment.
Su Ping didn't expect that his identity would be valued that much. He had to look up to Ascendant State experts before the Geniuses' Contest, but they seemed to have become equals at the moment.
"Mr. Su, you're an unparalleled genius. Please come to the Luolan Galaxy in the future. All the fees will be waived as long as you come. I'll have the most beautiful girl in my family receive you."
"Old Bai, does Consecrator Su lack that bit of money? You are too stingy. I just happen to have a spot to enter the Star Taboo: Meteorite Forest. If Consecrator Su is interested, I can transfer it to you. I was originally asking for it on behalf of a junior in my clan."
"The Forbidden Meteorite Forest is too dangerous. Mr. Su is unparalleled, and Supreme God must've given him a lot of protection treasures, but that place hasn't been peaceful recently. Even we would be in danger if we were to venture too deep. You'd better give it to the juniors of your family. After all, the juniors of your family need such life-and-death training, but a genius like Mr. Su doesn't; he can become a god even if he sleeps."
"That's true. Mr. Su, just tell me what kind of girls you like. I have an interstellar entertainment group that has all kinds of charming girls."
"Mr. Su, are you interested in stone gambling?"
Many Ascendant State experts approached Su Ping and complimented him, hoping to build a good relationship with Su Ping. Su Ping had a high chance of reaching the Ascendant State in the future, and there was only a small chance that he would fail. It was a profitable investment.
Su Ping was surrounded by all kinds of flattery. More importantly, those people were all famous Ascendant State experts. Su Ping was quite happy to hear the same thing from an Ascendant State expert. Fortunately, he had seen stronger people in the cultivation sites and knew that the limits of the Star Lord State were much higher than his current level.
He was too weak compared to the Ancestor God, who had seven layers of small worlds.
He wasn't the unparalleled genius that those people were talking about.
"Some geniuses become famous early, only to be forgotten in the end. Apart from indulging in pleasure, half of them die in flowers and applause. They don't want to make progress." Su Ping's smile slowly faded as he listened to the compliments. He calmed down and replied to them politely.
He didn't accept any of the gifts.
In fact, he didn't lack anything at the moment.
Some of the gifts from the Ascendant State experts were quite good, but he could ask his master for them. However, they weren't very meaningful for him.
The Ascendant State experts felt awkward after seeing Su Ping's unperturbed response, so they could only retreat. Although they hadn't achieved their goal, they actually thought more highly of Su Ping.
Soon after, more and more experts from the Loulan family arrived.
Almost all of them were in the Ascendant State; there were more than eighty of them. Only two of them were Star Lords, and one of them was Su Ping, who was in the Star State.
Half of them had already talked to Su Ping. The rest of them glanced at Su Ping from afar after learning that he was the most famous genius in the universe, but didn't bother him. After all, not all the Ascendant State experts were willing to curry favor with a junior.
The Ascendant State experts from other star zones arrived one after another after the Loulan family's experts arrived. They offered gifts and congratulated the Loulan family from afar.
Half a day later, the ceremony began. Dragons and phoenixes roared, and the entire planet was boiling, turning into a splendid ocean. Countless beautiful secret techniques were displayed in the sky.
Su Ping suddenly remembered Blue Star as he looked at the lively scenery. Blue Star had just experienced a war when he left Blue Star; it was a desolate place. Given his current identity and abilities, it would be easy for him to rebuild Blue Star and turn it into a tier-1 planet.
Speaking of which, I'm the lord of Blue Star. That's a bit irresponsible of me. Su Ping's eyes flashed. He planned to modify Blue Star after he left the Loulan family; he would also bring the Blue Star to the Celestial Court or a tier-1 solar system nearby, so that the residents of Blue Star would be truly connected to the universe.
I'll find a good intergalactic academy so that the talented people can study there for free. Su Ping thought about the modification of Blue Star.
At the same time, he remembered his naughty and stubborn sister; he would ask Elder Yan to help him find her.
Before I know it, I'm already strong enough to provide a superior environment for the residents of an entire planet. Su Ping gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
A long time later, as the ceremony became more and more lively, all kinds of events were presented.
Many Ascendant State experts were chatting with the Ascendant State descendants of the Loulan family on the main stage.
Su Ping saw a familiar person among them; it was Lou Lanlin, who had helped him earlier. She was sitting on the edge of an auditorium. In the middle of the auditorium was a beautiful woman in a white and light purple robe; her sleeves were embroidered with patterns of swords. Surprisingly, the maid was also in the Ascendant State.
The maid was holding a strange sword that looked like water or mist. It was enshrouded in a white brilliance, making it impossible to see the whole thing clearly.
Is she Heavenly Lord Jianlan of the Loulan family? Su Ping's eyes flashed upon seeing that.
There were also Heavenly Lords on the other auditoriums next to Heavenly Lord Jianlan's; they all seemed to be Heavenly Lords.
Their auditoriums were obviously more magnificent than those of the other Ascendant State experts.
Su Ping suddenly sensed someone's gaze; he looked in the direction of the gaze and saw Lou Lanlin, who was next to Heavenly Lord Jianlan.
They looked at each other. Lou Lanlin remembered Consul Yu's words and curled her lips; she snorted and turned her head away. Then, she peeked at Su Ping from the corner of her eyes, only to see that Su Ping had also turned his head. Anger flashed in her eyes as she snorted.
"Huh? Lin 'er, what's wrong? "
Heavenly Lord Jianlan was talking to the other Heavenly Lords; he lowered his head and smiled when he heard the snort.
Lou Lanlin instantly became obedient. She lowered her head and said, "Grandma, I'm fine."
Heavenly Lord Jianlan's eyebrows twitched; she instantly saw Lou Lanlin's appearance a few minutes ago. Following her line of sight, she saw the Guest Hall. Very soon, she saw a young man and understood what was going on.
"The family has told me that they intend to marry you to the new Guest Su." Heavenly Lord Jianlan's voice was as gentle as water. "It's up to you. Don't feel pressured. If you're not interested in him, nobody in the world will be able to make things difficult for you. Do you understand?"
Lou Lanlin felt warm. She quickly said, "Thank you, grandma. I understand."
"Guest Su is as talented as some of the Celestial State experts when they were young, but the path of cultivation is too long; too many variables and accidents can happen. Even a Celestial State expert can't teach someone to become an Ascendant State expert. The best they can do is to give enough resources to those who are already talented enough to reach the Ascendant State.
"So, it depends on the person," Heavenly Lord Jianlan said softly. "You can get to know him. If you don't think he's a good person, you don't have to learn more about him."
Lou Lanlin nodded and said, "I understand."
Heavenly Lord Jianlan smiled and stopped paying attention to the matter; she continued talking to the other Heavenly Lords.
