The Chaos Perception Dragon didnât react after Su Ping spoke.
There was nothing but silence.
A long while laterâŚ
Right when Su Ping thought that the dragon would adopt a more drastic method, it suddenly rolled its eye and stared at the young Chaos Beast. Then, it slowly turned around and inhaled the chaos energy, which was too big for Su Ping and the young Chaos Beast to absorb.
After absorbing the mountain of energy, it lay down, like a ridge that stretched for a thousand kilometers. The creature no longer bothered to talk with them again.
Su Ping felt immensely relieved. Then, he felt rather puzzled. The Chaos Perception Dragon was certainly not intractable, but it showed no interest in communicating.
Maybe, it had no interest in communicating with people who were too weak.
Anyway, it seemed willing to let them go.
âThank you very much, senior.â Su Ping clasped his hands in salute. Even though he was being despised, he appreciated the Chaos Path Beastâs help. He then summoned all his other pets.
After that, Su Ping called out to the system and returned.
Regretfully, the Chaos Perception Dragon didnât tell him how to find it. It would depend on luck if he wanted to meet it again.
Return.
Su Ping sent the young Chaos Beast, the Little Skeleton and other pets to the pet space, and then traveled back to the store.
On the vast and desolate landâthe Chaos Perception Dragon gazed at the place where Su Ping disappeared with its bloody eye, not blinking in a long time.
âŚ
Back in the storeâ
Su Ping reappeared.
Su Ping had at first planned to go to the Heaven Path Institute, but he didnât have enough time. Besides, he had learned the law of chaos and even the law of origin while in the Source World; going to the Institute would be pointless.
As to the matter of asking experts of the institute to help move the Demigod Burial, that wasnât an urgent task, either.
Besides, the more talented he showed himself to be, the greater say he would have in any negotiations.
âYouâre back.â
Joanna greeted him casually. But then, her eyes narrowed when she looked at him. âYouâre carrying the aura of the chaos lawâŚâ
âItâs been perfected,â said Su Ping, not interested in keeping it a secret.
Joanna was stunned. Her pupils contracted.
Perfected?
Heâs only in the Star State, and yet he mastered a perfect supreme law?
Joanna was both shocked and curious. She wondered what Su Ping had encountered in the Archean Divinity.? Did someone in the Heaven Path Institute offer him a gift?
Her excitement rose at the thought of that. âDid someone from the Heaven Path InstituteâŚâ
âNo. I didnât have time to go there.â Su Ping shook his head.
Joanna felt dazed, realizing he had grown quickly because of other incidents.
She was really envious. Su Ping had previously eaten almost the entire Divine Eye Tree, and he had only grasped the perfect path of fire. As for the supreme laws⌠Even Ascendant State experts were hardly able to perfect them!
She had only grasped a perfect path by chance after reaching the Ascendant State. Then, she was inspired and quickly perfected all the other supreme laws, becoming the strongest goddess below the Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial!
âI wonder how strong youâll become when you reach the Ascendant StateâŚâ Joanna heaved a sigh. She had always considered herself to be talented. She had been born to a mid-ranked clan. If she had the ancient heritage flowing in her blood, she would have easily become a Superior God!
Su Ping, on the other hand, seemed immeasurable in her eyes.
She no longer dared to measure him!
She had been with Su Ping all through his growth, and she witnessed how he constantly broke his limits.
Even I may not be a match for him when he reaches the Ascendant StateâŚâ ?Joannaâs eyes glittered. There was a sense of urgency growing within her. She sympathized with Tang Ruyan at that moment.
The feeling of being left behind wasnât good.
Her eyes glittered as she decided to break through and advance to higher levels as soon as possible!
âWhereâs your clone?â
Su Ping looked around the store, but didnât detect Joannaâs clone. This surprised him.
âMy clone has experienced enough; I found a new direction to follow. Iâm now aiming for the next level,â said Joanna in a low voice.
Su Ping was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled. âCongratulations. There isnât a true god in our store yet.â
But thereâs someone whoâs countless times more terrifying than a true god⌠?Joanna said to herself.
Su Ping glanced at the employee panel, finding that Joannaâs clone was gone. He checked Joannaâs stats, and conflicting feelings arose.
She was indeed an omnipotent goddess of war!
Almost all her laws were perfect!
What a shame. She probably would have condensed multiple small worlds and reached the limits of the Ascendant State if she would have also joined the Heaven Path Institute!
However, she is already capable of eliminating countless Ascendants in the FederationâŚ
Su Ping sighed.
He walked out of the pet room, then saw Green Lady and Tang Ruyan minding the store. He instantly asked, âHow long has it been?â
âTwenty-eight days.â Tang Ruyan was delighted to see him; she ran to meet him. She quickly detected that his aura was even more profound than before. He had become as scary as an abyss.
âYou became stronger?â
âDo you think I went shopping?â
âWhy didnât you take me with you?â
âYouâre a liabilityâŚâ
ââŚâ
Tang Ruyan gave Su Ping an angry look and stormed off.
âYou canât always be so mean to her.â Green Lady walked over and looked at Tang Ruyan while shaking her head. âShe may really get upset someday.â
âDo I look like a boss who takes advantage of his employees?â Su Ping glanced at her.
Green Lady rolled her eyes at him. âEnough, arenât you going to fight for the legacy? Like I said, even if you get it, donât use it; it would be a waste of your potential. Anna told me a lot. I didnât expect her original self to be that strongâŚâ
Joannaâs aura had even astounded her when the former returned.
She was just a pill anyway. Even though she had spent a lot of time with a Deity King and seen many things, she wasnât really a god.
Joanna was from a mid-ranked god clan, one that was considered so even in the entire Archean Divinity.
Green Lady had learned a lot from Joanna. She had previously thought that Deity Emperors, the beings above Deity Kings, were at the very top. She had heard tales of higher levels, but those had never been confirmed, and for that reason very few people believed them.
After all, even the Deity Kings were extremely rare, not to mention higher levels.
However, she had recently learned about many levels further above, the highest being Ancestral Gods!
If Su Ping became an Ancestral God⌠It was possible that he would have the power to bring the dead Twilight Deity King back to life!
Of course, she knew that the possibility was very slim, and that it was probably just her wishful thinking. However, she didnât want Su Ping to be stuck in the Celestial State. She would rather sacrifice herself to help him break the shackle.
âDonât worry. I know what Iâm doing.â Su Ping nodded.
Su Ping was no longer as excited about the true godâs legacy; not after his last training session.
The legacy wasnât even as rewarding as the training session!
Su Ping was already quite calm in the presence of the Celestial State experts after having met the Superior Gods in the Demigod Burial,
Would he be stuck in the Celestial State forever, just like those Superior Gods?
That wasnât the destiny Su Ping wanted!
Why would he want to be the king of a lake when he had seen the vast skies?
âI need to go to the Celestial Court and check the situation,â Su Ping said to Green Lady.
He didnât need the legacy, but his pets could use it; he wouldnât give it away to others.
âOkay, take care of yourself. We will take care of the store for you.â Green Lady nodded.
âHey!â
Tang Ruyan walked out again and angrily said, âKeep a low profile when youâre out. And be careful. Donât ever lead the charge. Take care of yourself and come back safely!â
Su Ping was silent for a moment; he then waved at her.
Tang Ruyan was slightly puzzled, but she walked toward him anyway.
Once she was closer, Su Ping instantly squeezed her check. âWhen did you become my teacher? Those were the exact words I said to you, right? You should be the one hearing that!â
Tang Ruyan instantly broke free. She rubbed her reddened face and glared at him. âGet the hell out of here!â
Su Ping smiled and turned around.
Joanna also walked out and reminded him, âCome back soon.â
Su Ping waved his hand and left the store.
Green Lady watched Su Ping disappear and then shook her head helplessly. She turned around and exclaimed, âDid he squeeze you that hard? Why is your entire face red?â
Tang Ruyan covered her face and said angrily, âHeâs a jerk!â
âŚ
Su Ping took to the skies after leaving the store. He had detected an aura that was quickly approaching the planet before he called his Senior Sister Ji.
âI was going to look for you. Did you finish your training?â Ji Xueqing approached the planet. Her senses could easily cover it; she soon located Su Ping and stepped out of the void.
Su Ping was surprised. âYou were looking for me? Arenât there still a couple of days to go?â
âYes, but Master wanted to give you something, so that youâll be safer during the trial.â
Ji Xueqing stared at Su Ping with thoughtful eyes. âYour aura seems to beâŚâ
Su Ping had concealed his aura since he left the store; Ji Xueqing couldnât detect the perfect paths inside his body without examining him thoroughly. In particular, he had hidden the aura of the perfect paths in the Illusory World, making it even harder to detect.
âIâve gained a lot,â said Su Ping with a smile.
Ji Xueqing guessed that his gains were very likely high, considering how happy he was. After all, Su Ping wasnât as happy when he learned the two amazing skills in her small world.
âLetâs go. Master has just recruited a new disciple.. He is now our junior brother; letâs go meet him,â said Ji Xueqing.
