Astral Pet Store (WN)

Chapter 1373 The Fire Seed Plan (2)

“Let’s leave this place to the advisors and computers and practice in my universe. I can accelerate time there by two hundred fold without affecting your understanding of the Great Dao,” said Shen Huang.

His universe was one of time and space. Time could be accelerated a thousand times faster than in the original universe. However, if the difference was too wide, it would affect their understanding of the Great Dao and hinder their cultivation. Two hundred times was already the maximum for cultivation. Normal Celestials could only accomplish a hundred-fold acceleration.

“All right.” Su Ping nodded.

Shen Huang glanced at the young man, suspecting that Su Ping had given him the universe of time and space for such a moment. Why else picked that universe of all universes?

Everybody agreed and took action.

While Shen Huang opened his universe and allowed everyone in, Su Ping returned to the pet room.

He briefly told his people about the situation outside. Then, he left with the Inferno Dragon, the cauldron woman, and the others.

Although the Inferno Dragon and the rest of his pets had yet to reach the Celestial State, they were already as strong after all the training. They had condensed their respective small universes and were looking for their Dao Hearts just as Su Ping was.

Su Ping returned to the conference room soon after; only Shen Huang was left.

Entering another person’s universe was extremely dangerous. The Celestials from the other star zones wouldn’t have accepted if things were like before; after all, they would be at Shen Huang’s mercy after entering his universe.

Maybe because of their teamwork in recent years, or the same stance deep in their hearts, none of them suspected or rejected at that moment.

Su Ping and his master looked at each other, both guessing what the other was thinking and were quite delighted. As the war reached that point, whether or not they could win it in the end, they were all truly ready to fight side by side as a team.

Su Ping and Shen Huang also entered the universe of time and space shortly after.

The universe was vast and desolate. Shen Huang had yet to build prosperous planets there. There were only barren stars that looked like mud balls.

The Celestial experts stood in the void, summoning one Celestial pet after the other.

Some pets were as massive as half a planet, standing majestically in the air. Some were tiny, and leaned against their masters’ shoulders like petite women.

Two men and a woman showed up next to Shen Huang. One of them was an old man, the other was a white-haired brawny man, and the last one was a cold-looking woman.

Su Ping became gloomy upon seeing them. Elder Yan, the one who taught him techniques on behalf of his master, was gone. Back in the Mayhem Star Zone battle, not only did his master’s original body perish, Elder Yan also died with him.

All three pets gave Su Ping a slight nod. They had obviously learned of news about him from Shen Huang. Even the cold-looking woman seemed gentle and approachable when she looked at Su Ping.

The other Celestial State experts also had their pets assume human shapes. It would be easier to practice the Titan Divine Array if they were of similar sizes. The divine array would be unimaginably massive if the pets kept their original form!

Some Celestials only had a single pet of Celestial cultivation, while others had two or three. Even without the deceased Elder Yan, Shen Huang actually had the most Celestial pets.

“That’s the Thousand Tail Beast, right? Has she risen to the Celestial State too?” Someone looked at the cold woman by Shen Huang’s side in a daze.

“So has the white dragon…” Another Celestial State expert changed his expression. “It seemed to be a Heavenly Lord thirty thousand years ago.”

Shen Huang looked at them and said peacefully, “My original self died in the Mayhem Star Zone battle. They wanted to avenge me, so they broke the shackles and luckily rose to the Celestial State.”

His greatest reward from the Mayhem Star Zone was the breakthrough of his two Heavenly Lord pets.

Although the breakthrough was rather late, he could still make up for his shortage of strength even after his original self perished.

He had just returned to the Celestial State with Su Ping’s help, and was even stronger than before. Adding the two pets that had broken through, he was already stronger than most Celestials. His overall power was only second to Su Ping’s in that place.

“I wonder if my pet will break through too if I die someday…” A Celestial State expert smiled with a bitter and envious expression. Not only did Shen Huang recruit a genius disciple such as Su Ping, he even had two Celestial State pets. He was truly a winner.

“Mr. Su Ping, you didn’t bring the blond employee from your store, did you?” Someone looked at Su Ping and asked. After all, the array’s completion depended on Su Ping.

They already knew that there was a Celestial employee in his store. They had even been there to check her, only to find that she wasn’t just in a Celestial, but also extremely strong; they were terrified.

Su Ping didn’t explain. It was impossible for Joanna to leave the store, but it was possible to take the cauldron woman and the sutra old man; they were Ye Chen’s items to begin with. Those two had evolved after being trained for years in cultivation sites by Su Ping. Both were Celestials, and among the strongest ones at that.

One of them was an emperor-level sutra, and the other had the potential of an emperor-level item. They had yet to recover fully, and were essentially wounded God Emperors. It was hard for a heavily-wounded God Emperor to return to peak form quickly, even in a place like the Heaven Path Institute

However, even though they had yet to recover, they were already in the Celestial State. That was their highest level when they followed Ye Chen back then; they were rising even higher, to the peak of the Celestial State.

Su Ping summoned them; their abundant Celestial aura stunned everybody, rooting them on the spot. Shen Huang recognized them as the items looted from Ye Chen’s treasury, but they were much more terrifying than before. He didn’t expect them to rise to the Celestial State while under Su Ping’s control.

Then, Su Ping went ahead and summoned the Inferno Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound, the young Chaos Beast, the Purple Python and the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon.

Adding Su Ping himself, there were eight beings with Celestial State combat ability.

In fact, Su Ping’s Void Bug had already evolved into a Purple-Armored Worm King.

While wandering in cultivation sites during the past hundred years, Su Ping had hunted plenty of Celestial beasts from various species. He had thrown them to the Void Bug as food; the latter absorbed all their essence, making it evolve faster.

Su Ping had focused on training the Void Bug ever since the worm tide arrived.

If Greeny became a God Emperor, he thought that the fella could probably suppress all the worms on its own.

Su Ping had studied the traits of Greeny’s species. Worms respected their hierarchy even more than dragons did. One worm king was enough to command a whole clan.

That worm tide had been initiated by the ultimate worm king hiding in the depths of the swarm. There were altogether six worm kings, which were essentially six commanders. There was a high chance that the worm kings were being controlled by the alien.

wa

Aside from the Void Bug, the Lightning Rat was also inching closer to condensing a small universe. Su Ping believed that it would break through very soon.

Su Ping had seen how hard the Lightning Rat had been working to catch up. It was the one who had been crazier during training. However, it was still too far behind when compared to the others, even though it was working hard.

“Huh?”

Everybody was astonished by the pets around Su Ping, Shen Huang being the most shocked of all. He recognized those pets and knew how weak they used to be. However, all of them had risen to the Celestial State.

Those pets’ potential and bloodline were extremely inferior.

One of the Celestial State experts couldn’t help but ask, “Are they all your pets, Mr. Su?”

Su Ping nodded. “They’re all my partners.”

“Five…”

The others had originally thought that Shen Huang had a lot of pets; none of them expected that Su Ping would have more. However, they also felt reassured upon remembering the latter’s terrifying combat ability.

Considering Su Ping’s strength, it wasn’t hard for him to subdue a Celestial pet. However, even though the universe was vast, it was really difficult to run such a high profile beast. They hadn’t encountered many of those, even though they had lived a very long time. Every Celestial pet was worth fighting over. Most of the Celestial pets they owned had advanced from lower levels.
