Astral Pet Store - Chapter 913
Chapter 913: Improvement
Su Ping slightly shook his head and focused his attention on cultivating.
He had gone all out during his climb of the Heavenly Path Mountain, moving one handle after the other even at the last moment and shattering a lot of attacks as he went. The law fragments stored in his body were then released.
The overwhelming shards emerged, making Su Ping’s mind go blank; his nerves were spread out like a spider’s web as they connected to the universe.
Mysteries, nature’s evolution and laws of the universe were quickly flashing like mist and water.
Su Ping was devoted to contemplating.
Lightning and fire rose around him. There were also collapsed black holes, twisted spaces, and winds that looked like shadows!
Laws were manifested around Su Ping; they became clearer as he contemplated.

“Fire… Flawless!”
“Space… Adept!”
Su Ping closed his eyes. The Golden Crow fire appeared on his back, and the special thoughts it carried had given him a deep understanding of flames. His understanding was already flawless!
He had integrated plenty of fiery laws, such as burning, heat, destruction, erosion, and the like.
He derived and grasped the essence of fire laws from many laws.
It all came down to destruction. He perceived it after being inspired by the laws of lightning; it had occurred to him that he could be inspired by extrapolating from different laws.
Of course, an impasse would be reached if the cultivator wasn’t smart enough and practiced multiple laws; their time would be wasted as they tried to grasp them one by one.
Su Ping began to work on the laws of lightning after perfecting the laws of flames.
He had previously taken the fruits of laws and grasped a hundred of them, but only at a shallow level; such attainment was merely comparable to the early Star State. This time, the law fragments enabled him to push the hundred laws all the way to the advanced phase!
The laws of flames had been perfected thanks to the Golden Crow Divine Constitution. Had Su Ping wanted to, he could advance all the way to the Star Lord State and become a dominator.
The hundred laws I knew were not my best attacks. I was only able to fight against many geniuses because of the abundant astral power brought by the Chaos Star Chart. I had a hundred times more astral power than the others did!
They’re all geniuses, and they have much more astral power than the average Fate State warrior, and it has been purified with special techniques. If I were to compare against the average Fate State warrior, I’d say I have ten thousand times more astral power than they do!
The astral power inside Su Ping’s body had been purified by Heavenly Tribulations hundreds of times. The Chaos Star Chart had also allowed him to store it in his cells, giving him a horrifying power storage capability. He could easily perform ultimate techniques that would have exhausted normal Fate State cultivators.
My astral power and secret techniques were the real reason why I defeated the other geniuses. The hundred laws only allowed me to offset their attacks, so that I could overwhelm them with my astral power repositories and secret techniques!
I can now rout the whole lot of them with laws now that I’ve gained a deeper understanding!
Su Ping was excited as he continued digesting those fragments.
Once he was done with training, he felt that he could suppress the unparalleled geniuses who had Ascendant potential with only one hand!
…
While Su Ping cultivated—the outside world was a mess.
A tremendous number of spacecraft carriers sent by various galaxies were gathered in space, outside of the Celestial Court; the media representatives from lesser planets hadn’t been cleared to be there yet.
Once the competitions in the Golden Star Zone and on the Heavenly Path Mountain came to an end, the result was quickly spread throughout all the galaxies in the Golden Star Zone. After all, all the competitor’s home galaxies had paid a lot of attention to their rankings.
“Yes, yes. That is correct.”
Ciro reported the matter to Lord Hai Tuo on the phone.
On the other side of the phone—in his office, on Silvy’s biggest planet—Hai Tuo felt that his ears were deceiving him.
“First place?”
“Are you sure he won first place in the entire star zone, not just our own galaxy?”
“Yes. First place of the entire star zone. Results will be officially announced soon,” said Ciro with a smile; he too was quite excited.
There had never been a number one holder of the star zone from Silvy.
Considering past performances, it would have been already something to be proud of if anyone made it to the top ten.
Hai Tuo was stunned for a few seconds; he naturally knew that Ciro wouldn’t lie to him. The man was an Ascendant State expert; he could ensure the validity of the message.
It meant that the news was real.
The kid he had sent off had won first place in the star zone competition!
It was an entire star zone!
There were only twelve star zones in the entire Federation. Since Su Ping was at the top of one of them, didn’t it mean that he had the chance to rise to the final’s top ten?
If that was the case, Su Ping would surely reach the Ascendant State with the help of the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm. Once he broke through, he would become a renowned genius in the Ascendant State across the universe!
The Ascendant State cultivators were different too.
Hai Tuo himself was a rather tough Ascendant State expert, but he knew he could not compare when it came to real geniuses.
Such experts were absolutely invincible, unless the Celestial State experts took action!
Su Ping might become one of them once he reached the Ascendant State.
“Ha, ha, ha…”
Hai Tuo laughed excitedly and said, “Whenever you have a chance, tell him to come to my place after the matches; I have a little something for him. No, I’ll give it to him in person after the competition. Haha!”
“Sure.”
Ciro nodded with a smile.
…
A lot of warships had been docked at the periphery of the Celestial Court. At the inner circle—the media of various galaxies had gathered to observe the competition.
At that moment—in a warship by the edge.
Xingyue Shen’er and the others on board. They were dumbfounded due to the final result, and the illusion of Lord Supreme that was manifested in the end. They had been far away, but they had watched the game via special equipment.
They had also seen how Lord Supreme admitted Su Ping as a disciple.
“B-B-B-B-Brother Heaven Destroyer has become Lord Supreme’s disciple?” A young man was so shocked that he stuttered.
The others were equally stupefied, finding it hard to believe.
Let alone Celestials, even Star Lords were experts in their eyes, and those in the Ascendant State were bigshots that they rarely saw.
As for Celestials… They were real legends of the universe!
There were only a few of them in the entire universe. The whole universe trembled when they stomped a foot!
Su Ping was as renowned as an Ascendant just by being Lord Supreme’s disciple!
Furthermore, even the normal Ascendants would treat him respectfully.
After all, Su Ping’s path to the Ascendant State would be a lot smoother with such a master; he would be much stronger than normal Ascendants, so no one could simply regard him as a junior.
“Oh my god. He has truly changed. He will soar in the universe!”
Even Xingyue Shen’er was somewhat dazed. She did hold high hopes for Su Ping; still, it was beyond her expectation that Su Ping would go that far. He was truly horrifying!
“What a strong young man.” The ever-reticent deputy leader also looked solemn.
…
Time flew.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Ping was devoted to contemplation; he was gaining a deeper understanding of laws. He wanted a flawless grasp of them all, but he knew that it was very difficult.
I’ll ask my master to grant me access to the Heavenly Path Mountain after the matches. My contemplation will be faster there, Su Ping thought.
He woke up from his state of contemplation, then saw Senior Brother You Long stepping out of nowhere.
“Hello, senior brother,” Su Ping called out respectfully.
You Long laughed and said, “Junior brother, no need to be so courteous. How are you? I’m here to take you and Junior Brother Diaz to the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm. It’s time to go.”
“Okay.” Su Ping nodded.
You Long glanced at him and softly exclaimed, “You seem stronger than before. Have you made progress in the past days?”
“More or less,” said Su Ping with a smile.
You Long remarked with mixed feelings upon hearing that, “What a genius. Good thing that our master met me sooner; he wouldn’t have been interested in me if he would have met you first.”
Su Ping said quickly, “Senior brother, you’re being too kind.”
You Long waved his hands and said, “Let’s go.”
Su Ping felt that his body became light. In the next moment, they disappeared as they were transferred to another mountain where Diaz was sitting cross-legged and cultivating.
“Junior brother,” You Long called out to him.
Diaz opened his eyes and saw Su Ping and You Long. He quickly rose and paid respects to You Long, “Glad to see you, senior brother. Is it time?”
“That’s right.”
You Long smiled and stared at him; he found that Diaz was also stronger, but his improvement was not as significant as Su Ping’s.
There’s still a gap between them. Junior Brother Su is truly a talent to have surpassed the Reincarnation Divine Constitution! You Long thought and concluded.
Wearing the same smile, he said, “Let’s go!”
…
A moment later, Su Ping, You Long and Diaz arrived at a high platform.
It was exactly the balcony of observers.
In the balcony—a lot of Ascendants were seated at the quaint tables.
They were accompanied by servants with weaker cultivations; some were Star State warriors, while others were in the Fate State. They seemed to be disciples who had been taken there to learn.
Everyone fixed their eyes upon Su Ping when they arrived, then they looked at Diaz.
In the beginning, Diaz had attracted everybody’s attention with his Reincarnation Divine Constitution, yet Su Ping later emerged and surpassed him, making the latter even more alluring.
What kind of special technique did he use to surpass the Reincarnation Divine Constitution?
Whoosh!
A man quickly flew over. He was none other than Ciro, who looked at Su Ping with delight, having shed all his previous solemnity. “How are you? Have you rested well? Here are three Star Soul Pills. Take them. Lord Hai Tuo will prepare a celebration banquet for you after the competition.”
He then handed the boxed pills to Su Ping.
Su Ping was surprised, as Ciro hadn’t been as friendly before; it was a well known fact that Ascendant State experts would never have to flatter geniuses like him.
Most of the latter would never go past the Ascendant State anyway.
However, circumstances seemed to have changed.
Su Ping thought for a moment, then chose to keep the pills; he would later find out what they were.
“Are you the one who escorted Junior Brother Su?” You Long asked Ciro with a smile.
Ciro quickly cupped his hands and said, “You must be Heavenly Lord You, sir. I am Ciro, a general from Silvy; please forgive me for not greeting you first.”
“That’s all right. Silvy should be rewarded for grooming such an astonishing figure, this junior brother of mine. Tell Hai Tuo that I’ll have a drink with him later,” You Long chuckled and said.
Su Ping was slightly surprised, as Ciro seemed to be all pins and needles in front of Senior Brother You Long.
Diaz, however, was shocked.
Heavenly Lord?
He knew that only the very famous Ascendants would be addressed as “Heavenly Lords.”
His ever-smiling senior brother was a horrifying Heavenly Lord? Was it because of their master’s teachings?
His eyes glittered; he became even more excited and hopeful.
Ciro quickly promised You Long that he would deliver the message.
Everybody looked at Ciro with jealous eyes. Then, they looked at Su Ping and Diaz with regret.
“Right, someone came to see you earlier, saying that she’s your friend. She asked me to give you some things that you had requested her to find,” Ciro said quickly.
Su Ping was surprised. “A friend?”
“Yes. Her name is Xingyue Shen’er, from the lineage of an Ascendant State expert,” said Ciro with a smile. He then took out a bunch of boxes and containers.
Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He had asked Xingyue Shen’er to look for those materials so he could develop his Solar Bulwark. Did she find all of them?
Holding back his urge to examine the materials immediately, Su Ping placed them in the system storage and planned to check them once he found a moment to be by himself.
“Please relay my gratitude to my friend,” said Su Ping.
Ciro smiled and said, “I will.”
Once they were done, You Long said with a smile, “Since you’re all here, let’s get ready to depart. Our master asked me to personally escort you to the Divine Sea Mysterious Realm; he’s waiting for you there. If the rest of you are interested, feel free to come and watch too. See you later!”
