Su Ping was stunned for a moment. Astral Spirit?
Suspicious, he asked the Dark Dragon Hound to turn around and return to the store.
On their way back, he continued, "So to speak, the first-generation Tower Master made preparations to advance to the Star State? The first-generation Tower Master is already dead, right? So to speak, the Sky Lock Formation is useless to him. If that's the case, he can open the formation. Maybe there's already an Astral Spirit inside. You can absorb it since you're in the Fate State. Wouldn't you be able to reach the Star State too? "
Gu Siping sneered.
Of course, he didn't think that Su Ping would really open the formation and let him absorb the Astral Spirit inside.
Aren't you in the Fate State too?
Why would you give up an Astral Spirit if there was one?
"We don't know if there's an Astral Spirit in the world inside the Sky Lock Formation. Even if there is, I won't take it. Now that you know about it, don't mention cracking the formation again. Don't try to crack it either. If the astral power inside isn't enough to give birth to an Astral Spirit, the world will be destroyed sooner!" said Gu Siping coldly.
Su Ping was surprised.
That's weird!
An Astral Spirit could help a Fate State warrior reach the Star State. How tempting was that? Why didn't the Tower Master seem to be tempted?
Did he have a way to know what was going on inside and was waiting for the Astral Spirit to take shape?
If that was the case, the Astral Spirit must be the trump card he mentioned earlier.
Su Ping's eyes glittered. He was tempted to snatch the fruit, but the Astral Spirit was useless to him. Gu Siping was the only Fate State warrior in the world at the moment; the Astral Spirit would be useless to him.
If Gu Siping had the Astral Spirit, he would at least have to deal with the beast tides first.
He wouldn't care if Gu Siping targeted him after the beast tides were taken care of. He could even lure Gu Siping into the store and ask him to take action; he would be killed by the system!
"How many Celestials are there right now, and what are their cultivation bases?" asked Su Ping directly.
Gu Siping was relieved to see that Su Ping had stopped talking about the formation. "All the Heaven Executors are at the Void State. Usually, there is only one Heaven Executor per city. But some Heaven Executors died not long ago and there are only three or four left. You don't have to worry about that. When the wild beasts come, they will take the initiative to fight."
Su Ping sighed. It seemed like he couldn't count on the Skywalkers anymore.
Beep beep.
Gu Siping froze for a moment when he heard the beeping sound of the call being hung up. Immediately, a murderous look appeared in his eyes and his expression turned ferocious.
No one had ever been so impudent in front of him!
Endure!
He clenched his fist and put away the communicator.
…
Su Ping returned to the shop.
As soon as he saw Joanna, he asked her about Starsoul.
"Star Spirit? That's right. If a world is imprisoned, the astral power will continue to be compressed when there is abundant astral power. That's how Starsoul is born! "
Joanna said calmly, "It's true that Starsoul can help a Fate State warrior reach the Star Rank. However, the Star Rank warrior who reaches the Star Rank through Starsoul is weak. The laws that the Star Rank warrior can grasp are also the laws that the Star Spirit has grasped. If the Star Spirit is talented and can grasp a powerful law, it can become a powerful Star Rank warrior.
"However, if the Star Spirit is weak, the laws that the Star Spirit can grasp will be weak as well.
"Most of the time, the power of laws that Star Spirits grasp is very ordinary. Very few Star Spirits can grasp more profound powers of laws. Even some Overgod organisations will fight over supreme quality Star Spirits."
Su Ping was fascinated. It seemed that Gu Siping was telling the truth.
He didn't know that there was such a unique treasure as Star Spirits.
"Don't overthink it." Seeing Su Ping's expression, Joanna said calmly, "Considering the density of astral power in this world, it's hard to say if an Star Spirit can be born after a thousand years of confinement. Even if one is born, it will probably be a low-level Star Spirit. It's better to rely on one's own efforts than rely on such low-level Star Spirits to reach the Star State."
"Not even a thousand years?" Su Ping was surprised.
Joanna said angrily, "A thousand years is nothing. Star State experts measure their lifespans in terms of ten thousand years. Once they grasp the power of laws, they can ask the Major Gods who can control time to modify their lifespan. It's not difficult for them to increase their lifespan by a hundred thousand years. Some Star State experts can live a million years without any problems!"
Su Ping was dumbfounded.
A hundred thousand years? A million years?
That was already a legendary god!
It had to be noted that a titled battle pet warrior could only live for two or three hundred years. Legendary battle pet warriors could only live for a thousand years!
That was already a shocking lifespan in the eyes of ordinary people. That was why it was awe-inspiring!
However, the lifespan of a Star State expert could be counted in ten thousand years. That was an unbelievably huge gap!
Joanna glanced at Su Ping and said casually, "You've only truly stepped onto the path of cultivation after you reach the Star State. You're just an outsider at the moment …"
However, there was one thing she didn't mention, which was that although Su Ping was standing outside the door, one of his hands had already reached inside!
After all, it was absolutely shocking for a titled battle pet warrior to have grasped a bit of the power of laws!
Su Ping came back to his senses after hearing Joanna's discouraging words. He wasn't discouraged; instead, he rolled his eyes and shook his head. "No wonder that guy isn't in a hurry. He must know something."
He couldn't use the Star Spirit for the time being. Even if Gu Siping was scheming, Su Ping wouldn't do anything about it. After all, he needed to make use of people.
"Five hours to go …"
Su Ping looked at the time for the store's upgrade. He stood up again and patrolled outside. At the same time, he contacted Qin Duhuang to collect the materials he needed to crack the formation.
If he prepared the materials in advance, he would be able to take action immediately in case he needed to break the formation and not fall into a passive situation.
…
Time zipped by.
Dawn arrived.
The night passed.
Information was sent to the command center of the unified defense line. The place was ablaze with lights and sleepless nights.
Apart from the Subcontinent District, the Rumbling Thunder Continent had been destroyed as well. However, at least two hundred million people had migrated there. The rest would stay there forever.
That was a heavy and sad piece of news, but many legendary battle pet warriors knew that there was nothing they could do about it.
They knew that the Rumbling Thunder Continent was bound to suffer heavy casualties when they came up with the final plan. After all, all the forces were concentrated on the Subcontinent District, where the Tower's headquarters was located. It would be more convenient for them to allocate resources; the Rumbling Thunder Continent was suitable for the final battlefield.
The two hundred million people from the Rumbling Thunder Continent moved to the Subcontinent District and the unified defense line. The defense line had to build three Class A base cities to accommodate those people.
All the legendary battle pet warriors and the major forces were holding their breaths as they made arrangements for the people from the Rumbling Thunder Continent.
The only thing left … was the Subcontinent District.
It remained to be seen if the humans on the Blue Star would survive the final battle.
The atmosphere of sadness was pervading the air in all the base cities.
A storm was brewing. The general public stayed in their residences quietly while the battle pet warriors, even the low-rank ones, were getting nervous and getting ready for the battlefield.
Pixie Pet Store, Longjiang Base City.
Su Ping heard the system's notification in his head when the sun rose.
The store's upgrade was successful!
The army of the Deep Caves hadn't reached the Subcontinent District during the 24 hours he had spent leveling up. He was finally able to relax after hearing the notification.
He had never found the system's voice to be so pleasant!
"Hmm, the system's voice has always been pleasant. What a bad taste!" The system's voice echoed in Su Ping's head.
"…"
The system was peeping at him again!
Su Ping was in a good mood. He didn't want to argue with the system. He snorted and said in his mind, "Show me the system's store."
He had wanted to upgrade the store not only because he wanted to increase the security coverage, but also because he wanted to buy some rare items from the level-4 store.
If he could buy some special-grade beast-catching rings, it would be a piece of cake for him to catch Fate State beasts.
A virtual frame popped up in front of Su Ping's eyes as soon as he finished his sentence.
He was the only one who could see the frame. He couldn't tell if the store was floating in front of him or if it was in his head.
There were three items in the store.
The first one was a dark purple crystal called the Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal!
The Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal was suitable for pets of the dragon family. It could increase the vitality of the dragon blood in the pet's body and stimulate a stronger dragon aura. The pet could also learn the skills of the Purple-blooded Dragon Pool.
Purple-blooded Dragon Pool … This was a Star State beast!
Price: 12 million energy points.
Su Ping was speechless. That dragon crystal was equal to the price of four battle pets in the advanced phase of the Void State!
That was too expensive!
Su Ping turned to the second item. His eyes glowed.
Special-grade beast-catching ring:
100% chance of catching Ocean State beasts!
100% chance of catching Void State beasts!
80% chance of catching Fate State beasts!
10% chance of catching Star State beasts!
…
10% chance of catching Star State beasts!
80% chance of catching Fate State beasts! As long as the beast wasn't too unlucky, it was almost guaranteed!
Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. He looked at the price. Eight million energy points!
Damn it. That was equal to the price of three battle pets in the advanced phase of the Void State. A Fate State beast could probably be sold at that price with a 20% chance of failure. He would lose everything!
What a scam!
Su Ping complained to himself, but he bought it anyway.
It would be a waste to use the special-grade beast-catching ring to catch Fate State beasts. Its greatest value was to deal with Star State beasts. That alone was priceless.
"Humph!" The system snorted proudly.
Su Ping curled his lips. He couldn't let the system show off. Otherwise, the price would be higher and higher.
"That will work," the system said after some thought.
Damn it. Am I spying on him?
Su Ping calmed himself down and looked at the third item.
Thunder Loch Fruit:
It grows in the depths of the Thunder Loch in the Thunder Cloud Sea. It absorbs lightning from the void as nutrients and contains natural laws of the thunder family. Once consumed, there is a chance that one will be able to grasp any law of the thunder family!
Su Ping opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
That … That thing can help people grasp the power of laws?!
Although the "probability" mentioned above was a vague thing, in the end, there was still some hope!
That was a priceless treasure!
Even Star State experts who had grasped the power of laws would need it!
After all, grasping one more law would increase one's combat ability!
Su Ping quickly checked the price. The fire that had just been ignited in his heart was extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.
Selling price: 86 million energy points.
That … was almost enough to upgrade the store!
He only had less than seventy million energy points left. He couldn't afford it …
It'll be refreshed in a week. I have to make as much money as I can during that time. I don't think I'll be able to get another one if I miss this opportunity. Only three items a week are available. That's too little, even though the items are quite good … Su Ping complained to himself.
"Humph." The system snorted.
Su Ping looked at the first item. The Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal was expensive, but it could be used by his Inferno Dragon.
Su Ping made up his mind and bought it as well. He had less than fifty million energy points left.
Luckily, he still had a week to make money.
Su Ping closed the store and summoned the Inferno Dragon. He took out the Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal from his storage space.
Su Ping felt that the crystal was extraordinary as soon as he touched it. It was extremely hot and contained extremely pure lightning energy. He felt as if he was in a trance.
"Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal?" Joanna cried out in surprise when she saw the crystal in Su Ping's hand. She didn't know that Su Ping had such a rare item.
Su Ping came back to his senses. He tossed the crystal to the Inferno Dragon and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
Joanna curled her lips when she saw the pet that Su Ping had tossed to her. She explained with a straight face, "This is the blood essence of an expert of the Purple-blooded Dragon Race. It can only be preserved under special circumstances. If an average dragon takes it, its bloodline will be improved. The dragon will inherit at least half of the dragon's bloodline and have a chance to reach the Star State!"
Su Ping nodded. This guy was indeed knowledgeable.
Roar!
The Inferno Dragon that had eaten the Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal suddenly let out a roar. Purple light began to gush out from its scales. Then, the Inferno Dragon began to emit bolts of lightning.
Crimson flames of the Inferno Dragon were blooming in the midst of the lightning bolts. The Inferno Dragon was enveloped in a horrifying force field.
The Inferno Dragon's bones and tendons were cracking. Its body was growing and changing.
Su Ping saw that the Inferno Dragon's aura was rising. In the blink of an eye, the Inferno Dragon had reached the peak of the ninth rank. It was only one step away from becoming a beast king!
The Inferno Dragon's aura had stopped growing. However, the dragon's might was several times stronger than before. Su Ping felt that he was facing a Fate State dragon.
Su Ping was surprised by the effect of the Purple-blooded Dragon Crystal.
He checked the Inferno Dragon's attributes. Its combat strength had increased from 26 to 38!
The Inferno Dragon's combat strength was second only to the Little Skeleton's!
Of course, the Inferno Dragon was still a ways away from reaching the Fate State. According to the system, the combat strength of a Fate State warrior was between 50 and 100!
Even so, the increase in combat strength was impressive. Besides, the Inferno Dragon Crystal had just been absorbed. The Inferno Dragon's combat strength would continue to grow.
Su Ping felt that the 12 million energy points had been well spent. He went to the pet room and saw that the space was three times larger than before!
He looked at the nursing pens that were made of ancient beast teeth. There were signs indicating an upgrade.
To upgrade the middle-rank nursing pens to the advanced level would cost him a hundred thousand energy points!
Su Ping curled his lips. The upgrade cost seemed to have been changed. It was a bit too much.
But he would have to upgrade them sooner or later. He thought about it and upgraded five of them first.
-500,000 energy points.
He told the Inferno Dragon to go into the advanced nursing pen that had been upgraded.
The ancient beast teeth in the advanced nursing pen had changed. They were no longer pale and there were some strange patterns on them.
There was a 1% chance that the advanced nursing pen could trigger a pet's talent!
This was the effect brought about by the advanced nursing pen. Although it was only a 1% probability, if one were to calculate it carefully, the probability was extremely high. If one were to be placed in long-term care, unless one was extremely unlucky, it was only a matter of time before the talent would be stimulated.
"This formation …" Joanna went to the pet room. She was surprised to see the changes on the ancient beast tooth pendant. She couldn't tell what kind of formation it was. Given her knowledge of formations, she knew that it had to be some kind of formation, one that had been lost in history.
