It didn't take long for the outcome of the battle to be revealed; Xuan Yuanlong defeated the young man in the red robe.
Someone else challenged him after his victory; obviously, they didn't want to give up the Cangwu Dragon's egg just like that.
The experts at the top of the Divine Lord Rank from all the star zones showed up in the consecutive battles; they were much stronger than regular Star Lords. Many people were amazed.
The atmosphere became more and more heated as the geniuses on the Divine Lord Rank competed with each other.
Su Ping suddenly received an invitation from Lou Lanfeng at that moment; he wanted to see Su Ping in the main auditorium; the family master wanted to meet Su Ping.
After all, the Loulan Family was one of the seven major families in the universe. Even Celestial State warriors would have to show respect to the Loulan Family. Even some Heavenly Lords would have to give way to the Loulan Family. Loulan Feng was being polite to him because the Loulan Family valued his potential and the Supreme God behind him.
Su Ping didn't put on airs; he simply followed the family master to the auditorium.
As soon as he arrived, he felt that the noises around him were much softer, as if there were invisible laws that had blocked out the noises.
In addition, the air here was filled with extremely dense star power. Waves of powerful auras were like mountains and oceans. They were extremely restrained and stood erect everywhere. They were the Heaven Monarchs who were sitting in the seats.
Many Ascendants noticed Su Ping as he walked; they all fixed their eyes on the young man.
The Heavenly Lords who were talking also glanced at Su Ping.
Heavenly Lord Jianlan stopped talking and observed the young man. She had already learned about Su Ping and how talented he was. She also knew that he would be on par with her once he reached the Ascendant State.
However, reaching the Ascendant State was a challenge that nobody could ignore.
The master of the Lou Lanfeng family, who was sitting in the main seat, was several times taller than the average person. He was six meters tall and had a natural domineering aura.
As a matter of fact, the master of the Lou Lanfeng family was much more respected than many emperors. After all, the emperors of some planets were only in charge of one dynasty at best, while the master of the Lou Lanfeng family was in charge of countless galaxies and had properties all over the universe. The emperors of other planets were like ants in front of him.
Su Ping walked up the stairs and stood in front of the master of the Lou Lanfeng family. The Heavenly Lords on either side of him were looking at him with eyes as bright as the sun and the moon. Normal people would have trembled in fear, but Su Ping had seen too many horrifying beings in the cultivation sites, such as the Primordial Divinity's Primordial Divine Lord.....
"Su Ping.... greet you, seniors."
Su Ping smiled. He was neither servile nor overbearing.
The Lou Lan family head smiled and asked, "How is your teacher?"
"Good."
"Mr. Su, you're young and peerless. It's a pleasure that you're willing to become a guest of the Lou Lanfeng family." The master of the Lou Lanfeng family smiled and said, "Although Lord Divine Lord will provide you with countless training resources, the Lou Lanfeng family also has some gifts. Feel free to ask for anything you want."
Su Ping shook his head and said, "I'm not in need of anything for now."
A handsome Heavenly Lord asked with a smile, "You're not in need of pets with Ascendant State bloodlines?" Apparently, he was teasing Su Ping.
The master of the Lou Lanfeng family laughed and said, "What kind of pets do you want, Guest Su? I'll have someone look for them for you. They won't be any worse than today's rewards."
Su Ping knew that he was talking about the Cangwu Dragon's egg. However, he had the Little Skeleton and the Chaos Beast waiting to be fed; he didn't intend to take in any new pets.
After all, the more pets he had, the stronger they would be. Although numbers could help, there were too many things he had to do at the moment. Apart from his own cultivation, it was also important to raise the Little Skeleton and his pets to the Star Lord State.
"I'm not in need of pets for now." Su Ping shook his head and declined politely. If he were to receive an Ascendant State pet for free, he would be more involved with the Lou Lanfeng family, which would make it harder for him to return the favor.
The master of the Lou Lanfeng family was surprised to see that Su Ping wasn't moved. The Heavenly Lords looked at him too. The Ascendant State experts sitting at the edge of the circle looked envious. Even they would find it hard to turn down an Ascendant State pet, especially one whose quality was higher than the Cangwu Dragon's.
"It seems that Lord Divine Lord is very fond of you, Guest Su." The Loulan Clan Head sighed. He smiled and didn't continue the topic, "Today is the first time we meet. Revered Su has joined my Loulan Clan and I don't have anything to give you. Here is a small gift. Take it as a meeting gift."
Then, he waved his hand, and three streaks of light flew out of the crack.
The three items stopped in front of Su Ping; they were a string of red pearls, a green pill and a mask.
"These Crimson Flood Dragon Divine Beads are Ascendant realm defensive artifacts. Each bead can withstand an Ascendant realm divine seal attack!" The master of the Lou Lanfeng family chuckled and said, "This pill is made of astral essence tears and contains a lot of astral power. Guest Su might need it when he tries to become a Star Lord.
"The mask is also an Ascendant State secret treasure that can hide your aura. Guest Su will be able to disguise himself with the mask when he travels. Regular Ascendant State experts won't be able to detect him."
Once the master of the Lou Lanfeng family finished talking, all the Ascendant State experts except the Heavenly Lords stared at the two treasures in front of Su Ping with glittering eyes.
Such Ascendant State secret treasures were rare in the first place, not to mention such powerful ones. It would be difficult for regular Ascendant State experts to ambush and assassinate Su Ping with such treasures!
Although no Ascendant State expert would be stupid enough to trade their lives with Su Ping, it would be impossible for them to do so with such treasures!
"The Loulan Family is really going all out. They're too rich!"
"Wouldn't it be better to give such treasures to the geniuses of the family?"
"They're too generous. Are they so sure that this junior can reach the Ascendant State?"
"The Lou Lanfeng family will suffer a great loss if he fails!"
All the Ascendant State experts' eyes flashed with different thoughts.
Su Ping was also surprised, not expecting the Lou Lanfeng family's "small gift" to be so generous. No wonder the master of the Lou Lanfeng family took his joke seriously and offered to give him a pet with an Ascendant State bloodline. It was hard not to be touched by such sincerity.
Su Ping was silent for a moment, but he eventually accepted the three gifts.
"Thank you," said Su Ping.
The master of the Lou Lanfeng family put on a smile after seeing Su Ping's solemn expression. Although the price was high, he felt that the young man was worth it. He was willing to bet that Su Ping could reach the Ascendant State. Even if he failed, the Lou Lanfeng family would still be able to bear the loss. If Su Ping succeeded and became a Heavenly Lord, it would be a great deal to exchange the gifts for a Heavenly Lord.
Su Ping accepted the three gifts and put on the Red Dragon Pearl on his wrist. It was an automatic defensive treasure that could block attacks from Ascendant State experts.
There were nine pearls on it, which meant that it could block attacks nine times!
Su Ping felt that he would be several times more capable of staying alive if he used the Clear Sky Mirror. Normal Ascendant State experts would have a hard time ambushing him, unless they had some strange treasures.
After some small talk, Su Ping left and returned to the guest platform.
"Congratulations, Master Su Ping. You've obtained an ultimate treasure," said the red-browed old man with a smile after seeing him return.
The other masters also congratulated him.
Apart from flattery, some of them were truly envious.
They had never been treated like that even as masters of the Lou Lanfeng family. To be honest, they would be lying if they said they weren't envious.
That being said, they could understand the Loulan Family's intentions. A young master like Su Ping had the support of a Supreme God. As long as he didn't court death and cultivated diligently, he would have a bright future ahead of him. None of them would want to become enemies with someone like that.
"This pill is something that I can use right now."
Su Ping silently sensed the pill in his storage space. Although the master of the Lou Lanfeng family said that it only contained abundant astral power and had a single effect, Su Ping could still sense how horrifying the pill was. Su Ping felt that the sea of stars in his body was agitated when he took a breath of the pill. Pure astral power flowed into his body, giving him a comfortable feeling.
There were too many people there, so Su Ping didn't take it out to study; he planned to wait until the ceremony was over.
The communication was already over at that moment. The champion turned out to be Ye Ling. He went to the main seats after being invited by the Lou Lanfeng family's Ascendant State expert, and received the Cangwu Dragon egg in front of everybody.
This was a dragon egg that was ten meters tall. Its surface was golden, but there were many fine red patterns, as if it had been burned by raging flames. There were also veins that resembled tree leaves.
Ye Ling's pale face regained some color after receiving the Cangwu Dragon egg. Sensing the abundant life energy inside, he accepted it without looking at it for long.
In order to obtain the dragon egg, he had to use his real strength in the last battle. He didn't hesitate to use forbidden techniques in order to secure the victory. The battle would delay his cultivation by at least ten years. However, ten years were obviously worth it compared to an Ascendant State dragon egg!
Once the sparring session was over, some Ascendant State experts stepped forward and explained their understanding of laws.
All the cultivators who had come from afar benefited a lot.
Time flew. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The ceremony came to an end. Su Ping had been waiting for the opening of the Unreal Ocean.
The Lou Lanfeng family seems to be inviting the Heavenly Lords to conspire with them during the ceremony.
Su Ping paid more attention to the seats of the Heavenly Lords during the ceremony. He saw them chatting; he didn't know what they were talking about, but there seemed to be some arguments going on.
The so-called geniuses' sparring sessions and the Ascendant State's preaching sessions were just entertainment; the Heavenly Lords didn't pay much attention to them.
At the end of the ceremony, the Lou Lanfeng family's Ascendant State expert announced that the Unreal Ocean would be opened in two days. Apart from Su Ping, many other people had gone there for the Unreal Ocean.
Su Ping returned to the Lou Lanfeng family's sacred training ground and continued cultivating.
Lou Lanlin had also gone to the sacred ground to find out more about Su Ping. She was annoyed to see Su Ping cultivating right after returning from the ceremony, so she decided to cultivate in the sacred ground as well.
Su Ping took out the pellet. As soon as he took it out, he sensed that the astral powers around him had become dozens of times denser. The green pellet was glowing and each strand of light seemed to contain astral powers as heavy as a mountain.
I can probably reach the peak of the Star Lord State if I use it to break through, Su Ping thought.
Even the most untalented person would be able to reach the peak of the Star Lord State with the help of the pill, as long as they perceived a small world!
After sighing, Su Ping didn't hesitate to swallow the pill.
Was he worried that he would be stuffed?
Su Ping didn't feel that pressure at all. The Chaos Star Chart was quite impressive; Su Ping hadn't felt full yet; he could absorb as much astral power as he wanted. His cells were like countless small vortexes that could store unimaginable astral power.
As soon as the pellet entered his mouth, Su Ping felt the rich astral powers spreading out from the surface of the pellet. A sweet and refreshing feeling spread throughout his body. As the pellet entered his stomach, the astral powers surged out from the surface layer by layer. Each layer was enough to fill Su Ping's body.
However, the two galaxies inside Su Ping's body kept absorbing the astral power like black holes. The astral power was transformed into divine power, which was then used by Su Ping to condense stars. One star after another was condensed inside his body like translucent fruits.
Su Ping's aura grew stronger every time a star was condensed.
Astral power was also pouring into his pores from the astral arrays in the Holy Land. Su Ping felt that he was in an ocean of astral power, and that his body was about to be melted.
There was no telling how long it took, but the pill gradually shrank until it was the size of a sesame seed. Su Ping finally felt that the expanding astral power in his body gradually calmed down.
At that moment, Su Ping woke up from his cultivation. The first thing that came to his mind was the Sea of Illusions. Shocked, he quickly took out his watch to check the time.
Su Ping was relieved to find that two days had passed. Thankfully, he didn't miss it.
Su Ping noticed the number of stars inside his body at that moment. He was shocked; more than twenty stars had been added to his body in only two days!
"Just a few more stars, and the seventh Star Map will be completed!"
Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. The pill had increased his cultivation speed by more than ten times. This cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than in the Holy Land. If he was on an ordinary planet, it would be hundreds or thousands of times faster!
"When I come back from the Sea of Illusions, I'll come here to cultivate for a few more days. When the seventh Star Map is completed, my small world will reach the limit of the first level." Su Ping was excited. He retracted his aura and came out from his cultivation.
Su Ping had just stepped out when he saw a familiar figure not far away.
"Master Su, you're finally out." Lou Lanfeng saw Su Ping and hurried forward. He said, "The Sea of Illusions has started. They've already gone over. Let's hurry over."
"Okay." Su Ping nodded.
