"Thank you for your concern, master."
Su Ping lowered his head and said politely.
"You should be thanking your Senior Brother Beiyan." Divine looked at the void and said, "He's safe now. You can go back to your work."
Su Ping was slightly stunned.
A ripple appeared in the void.
Then, a young man with a straight figure appeared. He was dressed in black and looked very cold. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. At this moment, he bowed slightly. "Yes."
He asked again, "What about the Ascendant State expert's body …"
"Do whatever you want," said Divine with a casual smile.
The young man understood and stopped asking. He glanced at Su Ping and said casually, "Junior brother, get to the Ascendant State as soon as possible. We're all waiting for you."
He then flashed into the void and left.
Seeing the confusion on Su Ping's face, Divine said with a smile, "Your Senior Brother Beiyan has been secretly protecting you. The Dark Tower hasn't given up yet; they sent an Ascendant State expert to follow you. Unfortunately, Beiyan is best at tracking …"
He smiled and said regretfully, "The Ascendant State expert from the Dark Tower killed himself; we didn't get any information from him. However, I think I know who's trying to assassinate you."
Su Ping realized what was going on and heaved a sigh.
The Dark Tower indeed hadn't given up on trying to assassinate him. However, it was still shocking that the Ascendant State expert who had been following him had been forced to commit suicide.
Is Senior Brother Beiyan a Heavenly Lord? Su Ping thought.
However, he didn't ask; he would find out sooner or later.
"Master, may I ask who's trying to assassinate me?"
"You don't need to know that for now." Divine smiled and said, "I'll seek justice for you. The assassination is actually related to the trial you're about to take part in. That's why I asked you to come back."
"You don't want me to know because you're afraid that the enemy will sense it if I do?"
Su Ping was intrigued. He felt that his master's explanation was quite sophisticated. He wasn't avenging him, but seeking justice. So to speak, his master was most likely a Celestial being!
"Master, this trial is …?"
"Now that the universe is in turmoil, there are signs of it accelerating. There may be some crises in the future. We have also decided to pool our resources and cultivate a group of outstanding talents as soon as possible to accelerate their growth."
The Divine Master said, "The trial this time is in an ancient Mystery Land. There are limited places, and the requirements for the trial takers are very high. Only those who are in the top 50 on the Divine Master List can barely survive!"
"So difficult?"
Su Ping was a little surprised.
How many people were in the top 50 of the Divine Lord List in the entire universe? It was only 600 people!
"Even though the Ascendant State expert from the Dark Tower didn't take action, the six Star Lords who surrounded you were all assassins on the Dark Tower's Heaven Ranking!"
"After that, they fled to the Zone of Chaos for many years. It's inevitable that their strength has improved. Since you were able to kill all of them and escape alive, you should have the battle prowess of the top three on the Divine Lord List, right?"
The Divine Master looked at Su Ping with a smile; he was very satisfied with his new disciple.
Su Ping had exceeded his expectations when he left the Celestial Court; he had broken the conditions he had set and reached the top ten of the Divine Lord List, which was almost a miracle.
He was still in the Star State at the moment, but he was able to defeat six assassins on the Heaven Ranking. His potential was even more surprising.
The Divine Master was hoping for another huge surprise when Su Ping ascended to the Ascendant State.
He had higher expectations for Su Ping than for Heavenly Lords; he hoped that the latter could surpass the Heavenly Lords and reach the Celestial State before the apocalypse!
Raising a Celestial State disciple would change the balance of the universe!
Unfortunately, time was of the essence; he didn't know if he could make it in time.
"More or less." Su Ping nodded.
The Divine Master was slightly surprised by the casual and confident look in Su Ping's eyes. He chuckled and said, "Tell me the truth. What level have you reached? It's related to the arrangements I made for you in the Realm of Gods. I asked you to come back early because I wanted to test your combat ability."
Su Ping didn't keep it a secret anymore. His master was a Celestial State expert; he wouldn't kill him out of jealousy. Besides, his real trump card was the system's store.
"I haven't tried it yet, but I think … I can do it as long as I don't reach the Ascendant State, right?" Su Ping pondered for a moment.
Su Ping didn't really care about the Star Lords of the Federation, since he had already built the second small world and killed the Divine Prince of the primordial gods.
The power of faith he had absorbed from the cultivation sites had also filled up the two small worlds. His combat strength had been further enhanced.
Although it was still difficult for him to defeat Ascendants, Su Ping had yet to meet a Star Lord who could compete with him.
"You can do it as long as you don't reach the Ascendant State?"
Divine God didn't expect that Su Ping would be so arrogant. That being said, his disciples were all geniuses and most of them were arrogant. Su Ping's attitude wasn't rare.
He smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I'll test you. Get ready to practice with your senior brothers."
"My senior brothers?" Su Ping was stunned for a moment. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Master, my senior brothers are too strong. I'm afraid I'm no match for them. There's nothing I can do against an Ascendant State expert."
The Divine Master was amused. "Who said that you're going to practice with Ascendant State experts? Some of my senior brothers are older than you; they joined me three thousand years before you and were still Star Lords."
"Three thousand years …" Su Ping was speechless, but he was muttering to himself, "That's not just a little bit older …"
Very soon —
Divine Lord had arranged for Su Ping to meet his senior brothers, as well as Diaz, who had joined the sect at the same time as him.
"The seven of you are my disciples who haven't reached the Ascendant State yet." The Divine Master looked at the seven people in the hall. Apart from Su Ping and Diaz, the other five were four men and a woman; all of them kept their heads low.
They had only joined the sect for three thousand years; they were all awed by the Divine Master.
The senior brothers who had joined the sect a long time ago were less reserved since they had known the Divine Master for a long time.
At this moment, the five of them were secretly observing Su Ping while lowering their heads.
They had all heard about the junior brother that their master had recruited in recent years. After all, the Golden Star Zone's trials had been held in the Celestial Court. Su Ping had become even more famous after winning the Universe Geniuses' Contest.
What they really cared about wasn't the championship title, but the small world that Su Ping had condensed while still in the Fate State, which had created a miracle!
That was something that had rarely happened in a hundred thousand years!
As for the championship title, four of them had won it in their own year.
After all, the Universe Geniuses' Contest was held once every three hundred years; it wasn't surprising that there would be a champion every three hundred years. Some Ascendant State experts would spend thousands of years in seclusion; by the time they came out, there would already be ten champions outside.
There was no shortage of champions in Celestial Court's disciples!
On the other hand — Diaz was winking at Su Ping, as if he were saying, "Let's meet again later!"
After Su Ping left the Celestial Court, Diaz asked around about the conditions of Su Ping's departure. He learned that Su Ping was already strong enough to rank among the top ten on the Divine Lord Rank. However, it so happened that he had received a precious treasure from his family; his family had sacrificed a couple of Ascendant State experts for it!
Fortunately, the treasure was quite useful for him; it further stimulated his Reincarnation Divine Constitution and pushed him to the Star Lord State. His combat ability had soared.
At the moment, he was as strong as the top ten on the Divine Lord Rank!
"I've summoned you here because there's a trial that you can take part in." Divine told them about the Gods' Realm and then said, "I'll give you some help based on your combat ability. You can practice with me today."
All of them rubbed their fists eagerly after hearing that there would be a martial arts trial in front of the palace.
The organizations behind them had already informed them about the trial, so they weren't too surprised.
"Su Ping, you choose."
Divine smiled. He valued Su Ping the most among the seven of them. Considering Su Ping's previous declaration and the fact that he had annihilated six people on the Dark Tower, he believed that Su Ping was strong enough to rank among the top three on the Divine Lord Rank.
None of the six present would be a match for Su Ping in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, he gave Su Ping a chance to choose.
Diaz and the others looked at Su Ping in surprise after hearing their master's words.
Judging from their master's tone, it was obvious that he was very gentle to Su Ping, and that he was even letting Su Ping choose. Wasn't he doting on him?
However, they were relieved to see that Su Ping was still in the Star State, as well as the miracle he had created.
"Junior brother, I'm currently ranked seventh on the Divine Lord Rank. I heard that you were able to fight against the top ten as a Star State warrior, which was why you were allowed to leave the Celestial Court. I think it's a good idea for me to practice with you." A young man stepped forward and smiled at Su Ping. He seemed friendly and harmless.
Su Ping knew that his master wanted to see his real strength. Su Ping didn't intend to hide too much since it was related to the upcoming trial.
"Why don't you fight me together?" Su Ping asked tentatively.
Everybody in the palace fell silent after hearing that.
Diaz was dumbfounded. The young man who had just spoken was also stunned. The others seemed to be doubting their ears.
What the hell?
Is this junior brother out of his mind?
Or is he just eager to show off in front of their master?
The Divine Lord, however, laughed and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say. The six of you will fight me together. Show me what your junior brother is capable of."
The six of them didn't come back to their senses until they heard their master's words. They looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all from the same master.
"Junior brother, are you serious?" the only woman among the six asked with a frown. She wasn't happy about Su Ping's arrogance.
Diaz gnashed his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"
He had intended to compete with Su Ping and see the gap between them, but Su Ping didn't consider him a threat at all.
