Su Ping transferred the maid serving him in his old temple to the Dao Childâs mountain. Then, he returned to his store under the pretext of training in seclusion.
After the teleportation-Su Ping found himself in the pet room when he opened his eyes.
Su Ping took out the customersâ pets he had trained during his trip. He looked at the nursing pens, but saw no sign of Joanna. He immediately spread out his senses and detected her presence in the store.
âSheâs made a breakthroughâŚâ
Su Ping smiled upon sensing the change in Joannaâs aura. She was a strong God King, even in the Archean Divinity; she would be considered a pillar even by the major forces
After all, God Emperorsâwho were on a higher level-were extremely rare, even among the high-ranked clans. He had received a lot of offers as a Dao Child, mainly because there was a good chance he would become a God Emperor, which made him someone worth investing in. Even more people would have vied for him if he would have distinguished himself as a God Emperor. After all, even the most talented genius could find an untimely death.
He opened the door and went to the lobby; it happened to be business hours. The bright sunlight was coming in through the windows and doors at noon; many people were waiting in an orderly fashion.
Both Joanna and Green Lady looked at him; they nodded in greeting.
At the counter, Su Ping asked Joanna telepathically, âHow did it go?â
Joanna registered a pet and the proper payment for one of the customers, and then smiled. âIt was smooth in general. Iâm already in the Celestial State. I can handle Celestials even if they were to cause trouble here. However, I heard that something huge has happened.â
âIâll take care of that,â said Su Ping, âIâm glad that youâve broken through successfully. I just returned from the Archean Divinity and asked an elder for his help. Unfortunately, he couldnât detect the Demigod Burial. There are only two ways for you to return to the Archean Divinity.â
âNot even the elders can?â Joanna was dazed. Back when she studied in the Heavenly Path State, she had learned that the elders were all God Emperors.
......
Even after her breakthrough, she couldnât even resist a finger attack from any of those elders.
âWhat are the ways?â
âEither you wait until I become an Ancestral God and I carry everything, or you gather all your people and pack them into my universe, so that I can carry you over,â said Su Ping.
Dazed for a moment, Joanna pondered for a moment and said, âItâs decided then. Letâs carry them over. Iâll help you.â âArenât you worried that they might refuse?â Su Ping couldnât help but smile.
âIf they dare refuse, Iâll beat them until they change their mind,â said Joanna with ruthlessness in her eyes. âIâve just broken through and I havenât fought them yet. They used to suppress me because their level was higher, but itâs different now; I feel I can win even though Iâve just broken through!â
Su Ping smiled and said, âYou seem a lot more arrogant than before.â
âThis is not arrogance, but confidence!â Joanna slightly craned her head.
âYouâre a lot chattier than before too,â added Su Ping with a smile.
Joanna rolled her eyes and then glanced at him. She squinted and was silent for a moment, before she said, âYou seem stronger. Can you beat them right now?â
âThatâs easy,â replied Su Ping with a smile.
Joanna gasped. She knew that he always did the unexpected, but she was still shocked by his cultivation speed. The ant she could have easily crumbled had caught up to her and even surpassed her in the blink of an eye!
âIs it really this terrifying to be the heir of the magic store?â Joanna couldnât help but mumble.
Su Ping chuckled. âHavenât you already experienced it? I can travel across different worlds and fight local experts. How can I not grow up fast?â
Joanna couldnât help but say, âThat being said, your progress speed is still too extraordinary, even though you have so many sparring partners. After all, the godly nobles are never short of sparring partners or training resources.â
Unable to refute, Su Ping thought for a moment. âMaybe itâs just because theyâre dumb.â
Lost for words, Joanna couldnât help but roll her eyes again. The princes and princesses who distinguish themselves from amongst countless peers are dumb?
The only explanation was that Su Ping was unreasonably talented!
What Joanna said gave Su Ping a hint. He thought that the greatest difference between him and the nobles was his cultivation technique.
Although he could find opponents in cultivation sites and challenge them by resurrecting several times, it was nothing for the princes and princesses, who could also resurrect in the God Emperorsâ universes and polish themselves with life and death bouts, challenging opponents too strong for them.
However, according to Su Pingâs experience, there was a limit to the deadly pressure and what the stimulation could bring forth.
Everyoneâs potential was limited.
What was potential?
Bloodline, power of understanding, luck and many other factors constituted potential.
Naturally, all the princes and princesses had the best bloodline; their power of understanding differed, but not too greatly. Luck only played a secondary role, unless some of them found some unbelievable treasures.
After having traveled in so many worlds, Su Ping discovered that his greatest treasure was the cultivation technique the system had offered him.
