Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 1304

“Okay.”

Su Ping nodded. Although confident, he would not underestimate the Dao Children; after all, they were the top geniuses in the Heaven Path Institute, and the three of them were actual supreme-ruler Kings.

Then, the young man transmitted the information about Chen Xi directly into Su Ping’s head.

“Time here flows at a different speed here. You may cultivate here for a hundred days without being disturbed. If you feel the need to, I can let you enter my universe, where you may cultivate three hundred days at most!” said the young man to Su Ping.

“Thank you very much,” said Su Ping quickly, “How may I call you, elder?”

“Just call me Chan Gong,” replied the young man with a smile.

“Elder Chan Gong…” Su Ping nodded and remembered his name.

Elder Chief Elder left, and Su Ping focused his attention on reading the information about Chen Xi, confirming he deserved the spot. Born in one of the seven greatest families. There were extraordinary signs even when his mother was pregnant.

The supreme-ruler had produced shocking miracles since birth.

…
“There truly are a lot of geniuses. I’m not worth mentioning if I didn’t have the help of the system,” said Su Ping. Those geniuses had great potential.

His universe follows the path of light, which is much more aggressive and faster than Qing Mu’s immortality universe. That’s why Qing Mu’s dark power is useless against him; he can’t even touch the guy… Su Ping realized how tricky his opponent was. Speed was the most important attribute, even for supreme-ruler Kings.

Su Ping had a clear judgment of the supreme-ruler’s combat ability after watching the battle videos shared by Chen Xi. He would probably have to use his full strength.

Soon after

Chan Gong returned to the side palace with two bloody fruits in his hand. “These are Prime Chaos Fruits which can improve your universe. The improvement is limited, though. Two are already enough for normal people; it would be useless for anyone to take more.”

“Thank you very much, Chan Gong,” Su Ping said quickly.

Needless to say, those items were rare and precious treasures.

Chan Gong smiled and said, “The institute will give some to you when you become a Dao Child. I’m only giving them to you in advance, so that your chances of winning improve.”

“I understand, Elder Chan Gong,” said Su Ping. He wasn’t good at expressing gratitude, but he would remember the favor.

“Whatever else you need, just tell me.”

“I want to cultivate,” said Su Ping.

Chan Gong instantly understood what Su Ping meant. He nodded. “I will let you enter my universe where you may cultivate for 300 days. Although time flows at a different speed, it won’t affect your cultivation.”

Su Ping nodded.

Chan Gong then opened his universe, producing an aura which felt similar to that of the Oceanic Universe of Clouds.

“My universe is called the Five Elements Residence,” said Chan Gong. His universe was boundless, but there were mainly five brilliant interconnected nebulae. The rest of the space was completely dark and contained little power.

Su Ping had the same special feeling when he visited the Oceanic Universe of Clouds earlier on. The five vast nebulae were staring at him like five eyes.

“Elder Chan Gong, how can I become a supreme-ruler Emperor?” asked Su Ping after pondering for a moment.

Chan Gong was stunned for a moment; he wasn’t too surprised, though. He chuckled and said, “If you want to further improve as a supreme-ruler King, you must perfect your small universe. Although your universe does seem solid and strong, there are a lot of powers that are not yet at your disposal. It’s not sensitive and condensed enough. To put it simply, your universe doesn’t have any ‘wisdom’!”

“Wisdom?”

“Everything has wisdom, and so does the universe. You mustn’t simply treat the universe as your power. You may regard it as a life you’ve created!”

Chan Gong continued, “Even a flower and a blade of grass have wisdom. The universe, where countless lives are born, naturally has wisdom too!

“The universe has wisdom, and every path has a heart. Only if you transcend them will you approach the real source of Dao!”

“The universe has wisdom, and every path has a heart…” Su Ping mumbled. Something suddenly occurred to him. He remembered the next level on the Chaos Star Chart—the Dao Heart State!

Dao Heart. Does it mean… to give hearts to the great Dao?

Su Ping finally understood the special feeling given off by the Oceanic Universe of Clouds and the current universe he had entered. So, it was because the universes had their own souls.

This is a gargantuan living creature…

Su Ping looked at the five nebulae and learned how to reach the supreme-ruler Emperor State. That being said, it was still a perplexing problem, how to give wisdom to the universe.

Su Ping considered for a moment and decided to ask Chan Gong.

“Everybody has a different cultivation method; I can’t tell you yours. However, I can tell you how I became a supreme-ruler Emperor,” said Chan Gong, “Back then, I was stuck at the peak of the supreme-ruler King State. I watched countless supreme-ruler Kings fight on the peak of a mountain and saw countless universes collide. That’s when I sensed the wisdom of the universe at that moment.

“That feeling is hard to describe. You’ll know it when you feel it.

“I can recreate the scene for you later. Whether or not you can glean something from it will depend on yourself.”

“You watched the collision of universes?”

Su Ping pictured the collision of his universe and other supreme-ruler Kings’ in his head. The impact and fusion of energy and laws… The components of the universe fell apart and were destroyed in the collisions…
