Chapter 1055: Three Months of Cultivation
“Not even Celestials?”
Su Ping was slightly surprised, but not too shocked.
The Celestial State was the highest level in the universe for Ji Xueqing and the others. However, Su Ping knew there were still a couple of major levels above the Celestial realm, including Deity Emperors and Ancestral Gods.
Deity Emperors and the Ancestral Gods were probably the only entities who could see the ultimate source where countless paths derived from.
“In order to see the source, you have to gain an even deeper understanding of a law that you’ve already mastered fully, until it’s absolutely flawless!”
Ji Xueqing interpreted for Su Ping. “That way, you’ll be able to extend your consciousness with that flawless law and enter the deepest parts of the source world.
“However, you’ll only be capable of taking a quick look at the Path Source’s shadow.
“Exploring with a flawless supreme law widens the coverage of the Path Source world. It’s also another reason why the four supreme laws are important. Once you reach the Ascendant State, the path you create will be connected to the Path Source world. Even if it’s not perfect, it will still be somehow connected…
“The moment you can vaguely detect the Path Source world, you’ll have the chance to touch the origin of thousands of laws. Then, it’ll become fairly easy for you to grasp other laws and even master them fully!
“That is also why Ascendants can master thousands of laws. Only the four supreme laws are seen as a minor challenge for them.”
Ji Xueqing glanced at Su Ping and continued, “If I were talking to someone less gifted, I would suggest focusing on establishing a personal path, all to facilitate the understanding of other laws and paths after reaching the Ascendant State. His strength will soar too, and his disadvantage would be no more.
“However, you haven’t cultivated for a long time yet, and you have plenty of time. It’s also fine if you’re determined to have a try. Very few people have made their laws flawless before they reached the Ascendant State in the past 100,000 years!
“However, if you can really achieve that, your understanding of laws will be highly unusual. Your own path will then become extremely powerful once it’s established!
“If that is the case, you would directly become a top Heavenly Lord when you step into the Ascendant State!”
She glanced at Su Ping when she talked about that subject.
Considering the four supreme laws that Su Ping had mastered, she believed that he had the potential to be considered outstanding in the entire universe, even without the true god’s legacy.
However, not even the strongest Heavenly Lord would compare to the inheritor of the true god’s legacy.
The Celestial State was the real peak!
Indeed.
Some of the top Heavenly Lords weren’t afraid of the Celestial experts; they could even keep themselves safe even if they were to confront each other.
However, protecting themselves was all they could ever do!
They could run for their lives; however, it was impossible for them to fight back and win.
They would have to flee whenever that kind of opponent showed up. That was precisely the power of the Celestial State!
“I see…”
Su Ping nodded upon hearing what Ji Xueqing said. He currently had a clearer understanding of the Ascendant State.
It wouldn’t be as difficult for him to grasp thousands of laws and make them perfect when he reached the Ascendant State.
After all, he would be able to touch the Path Source world. If he studied laws there, his efficiency would be hundreds of times higher than in the outside world; fully mastering laws would be possible and quicker!
That was why Ascendants could almost master all laws to the fullest.
As for those who had lived long enough, they had probably cultivated a shocking number of flawless laws!
However, anyone with a realm under the Ascendant State would have it difficult to grasp a law in a flawless way, just as establishing a path of his own!
However, after hearing what Ji Xueqing said, Su Ping was even more determined to grasp a flawless path. He wanted to go to the Path Source world and see the origin of countless laws!
He would definitely be able to find laws that didn’t belong to that universe if he entered that place, and then condense a third world!
“Although you’re welcome to try, the trial will begin in only three months.”
Ji Xueqing stared at Su Ping and then changed the topic. “You don’t have much time left. You’d better not get ahead of yourself; you should try to increase your strength as quickly as possible, so that it’ll be easier for you to pass the trial!
“You cannot possibly grasp a flawless path overnight.
“Even though you’re an exceptional genius, it would still take at least a thousand years, if you’re lucky enough!”
Ji Xueqing was only speaking the truth. She thought that the mission was too difficult, even though she had seen Su Ping’s unbelievable performance. It would be a miraculous achievement if he could accomplish the task in ten thousand years, let alone in one thousand.
Only a genius such as Su Ping could afford wasting ten thousand years.
“The geniuses from all the reaches of the universe will take part in the trial, including some ancient Star Lords who have been training in seclusion,” said Ji Xueqing as she gazed at Su Ping, “Some Star Lords don’t concern themselves with the vanity of being on the Divine Lord Rank. They spend all their lives cultivating in seclusion and pursuing their own paths. They want to establish a top path, all with the intention of becoming top Heavenly Lords the moment they reach the Ascendant State!
“People like them aren’t rare in the scope of the entire universe!
“As far as I know, there are more than ten of them!
“All of them became famous more than ten thousand years ago. They were the strongest Star Lords who left their names on the Divine Lord Rank!
“I also know of a certain Star Lord who is so gifted that he already came up with his own path and is able to establish it at any time. However, he gave up, because he thought that the path was too weak; he didn’t want it, even if it could send him to the Ascendant State!
“He isn’t the only genius out there. For them, reaching the highest peak is just the beginning. Many of them have mastered powerful, ancient secret techniques. Their combat abilities are unknown.
“The true god’s legacy has shocked the entire universe; even the twelve Celestials have shown up. All the big families in the universe are looking for exceptional Star Lords, hoping to send them to the trial!
“They’re hoping that one of those Star Lords succeeds in getting the legacy and then reach the Celestial State, so that they can benefit in the future as sponsors!
“Therefore, the competition in the trial will be very cruel!”
Ji Xueqing gazed at Su Ping and said solemnly, “You’re very strong. Of all the geniuses I’ve seen, your potential is among the top three—No, the top two! However, you haven’t cultivated much yet and you’re still inexperienced!
“These three months are critically important to you. I hope that you make the most of this time. If you miss the opportunity to enter the Celestial State, you’ll never find another one!”
Su Ping was slightly unsettled by the information; he furrowed his brow.
What Ji Xueqing had said did give him a lot of pressure.
Star Lords could live for a long time. The geniuses who were the champions of the universe ten thousand years earlier had been Star Lords for ten thousand years already. Who knew how strong they had become?
“I understand.” Su Ping nodded.
Ji Xueqing felt relieved to see how Su Ping had dropped his casual demeanor; she was worried that Su Ping would be too proud of his talent and overly confident.
“Master hasn’t recruited a lot of disciples. The older disciples such as me entered the Ascendant State a long time ago. Nobody was expecting that a true god’s legacy would appear like this. Now, we can only count on you, including our other junior brothers and sisters.
“Right now, you have already reached the peak. You’re the best prospect among our junior brothers and sisters to get the legacy. Master has high hopes for you too!”
Ji Xueqing continued, “There are only three months to go. You may cultivate in my small world, where time flows a hundred times faster than in the outside world!
“You can attempt reaching the Star Lord State during the coming three months, to deal with any possible gaps between you and the other guys. Although you’ll still be short of experience, this is the fastest way to improve your strength.
“On the other hand, I’ve prepared special materials and faith power to strengthen your small world and further improve your combat ability!”
Su Ping was dazed for a moment, not expecting his Senior Sister Ji to make so many preparations for him.
Remembering what she said, Su Ping said with glittering eyes, “Senior Sister Ji, are you investing in me?”
Ji Xueqing was dazed for a moment. Then, she gave him a frank confession, “Yes, it’s an investment. Besides myself, a lot of people have talked to me and hoped to offer you things. Many of the training resources you’ll have available come from them. Feel free to use them.”
She glanced at Su Ping and continued, “There’s no need to worry. I’ll return all the favors on your behalf; you only need to return my favor, if you can truly get the legacy three months later…
“It won’t be a big deal if you don’t; every investment carries risks. I can’t blame anyone else. Besides, I don’t think this investment can possibly fail now that I’ve seen your talent.”
Her frank answer left Su Ping at a loss for words; he smiled bitterly in his heart. Without him realizing it, he was already standing in a vortex of power, and a web of connections.
“Got it. Thank you, senior sister.”
Su Ping nodded.
The universe was too big, full with countless geniuses; he was just one of them.
He didn’t know if the other geniuses had attained a second small world. However, he thought that even if they didn’t, they would surely have other special methods.
Although he wasn’t particularly interested in the true god’s legacy, he would be an idiot if he let go of such an opportunity.
After getting the legacy, he could give it to his pets instead of using it himself.
I have to try to increase my combat ability again. It’s not safe enough yet. If I can grasp one of the laws flawlessly… Su Ping’s eyes glittered; he hadn’t given up searching for the Path Source yet.
That was the only way he could think of to significantly strengthen himself.
As for condensing the eighth Astral Painting, it would take too much time.
Also, once the law became flawless—allowing him to enter the Path Source World—it would be easier for him to master other laws. That was like whetting the axe prior to chopping wood!
The most efficient way was to perfectly grasp a law as soon as possible. It would lay a foundation for the eighth Astral Painting, giving him a chance to find a method to create the third small world.
“Let’s begin now.” Ji Xueqing raised her hand, and a misty world appeared in front of her eyes, with mountains covered by clouds, just like a paradise.
“This is my small world. I’ve lowered the speed of time flow to the limits of your normal cultivation. You’ll be able to cultivate for almost thirty years while you’re, and only three months would pass in the outside world. Provided there’s enough cultivation resources, you should be able to reach a higher level!” said Ji Xueqing..
