Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 1427

Time flew.

Su Ping traveled in the desolate land with the Dark Dragon Hound and the rest of his pets, always looking for supreme-ruler Emperor beasts as sparring partners. Those creatures were much weaker than the Rain Clan’s supreme-ruler Emperors; after all, theirs was a huge clan with a large heritage of ancient secret techniques.

While training his pets, Su Ping was also constantly deepening his understanding of the Contract Dao Heart. His experiences through consecutive battles and his own observations made him feel that it had impressive potential, not inferior to the three unparalleled Dao Hearts shown by the Golden Crow ancestor. He was delighted.

It would have been disappointing if his own Dao Heart wasn’t as good.

!!
Dao Hearts couldn’t be transmitted. The Dark Dragon Hound and his other pets were still supreme-ruler Kings. They could still fight supreme-ruler Emperor beasts on their own by teaming up and following his commands, the gap was huge.

Other than cultivating in the world of supreme-rulers, he would return to the store on occasion. The sailing outside remained in order. Shen Huang, Chi Huo and the others took turns to direct the planet as they explored; they had not found a second universe in months.

Su Ping wasn’t too surprised, given that the environment was boundless; there were also many universes that even the Heavens had yet to detect. It wasn’t hard to imagine how vast the place was.

Su Ping consolidated his cultivation over the following months. It was even easier for him to deal with supreme-ruler Emperors at the moment. His power output and application was significantly improved.

He had already been able to kill supreme-ruler Emperors in the past, it would take a considerable toll on him. However, he could instantly kill the lesser supreme-ruler Emperors if he gathered the Great Dao.

“How should I cultivate the Undying State?” Su Ping asked the system.

He wanted to become an Ancestral supreme-ruler as soon as possible. He knew that there were existences like the Golden Crow ancestor, who were above the Ancestral supreme-rulers.

Su Ping feared that they could encounter the Heavens while they floated about. Once exposed, it would mean death in the enemy turf!

Disaster might strike at any time. Su Ping couldn’t relax because of the pressure, and constantly sought to improve his combat ability.

“The Undying State is just as the name suggests. Once you cultivate it, no matter how many times your universe is pierced, it won’t be destroyed, and since your universe can’t be destroyed, you won’t die. In simpler terms, it’s the closest to eternity.

“In order for your universe to be undying, you first need to transform your universe into an undying substance. What is truly eternal and undying in this world?”

Slightly dazed, Su Ping replied unconsciously, “Dao?”

“That is correct.”

The system continued, “If you want your universe to be immortal, you first need to fuse the entire universe with your Dao Heart and turn it into one of the Great Daos.”

“Fusion of Dao Hearts? Universe turning into a Great Dao?” Su Ping mumbled. The system’s words brought dawn to his hazy future, and he vaguely found a direction for his cultivation.

“Compared to the Dao Heart State, there’s ways to reach the Undying State, although it’s difficult to carry them out,” said the system, “Once you improve the store to level 8, you will know how to cultivate.”

Su Ping was speechless. “You really are like those booksellers.”

“Booksellers?”

Su Ping was surprised by the answer. “Can’t you peep into my mind?” The system said indifferently, “I promised you that I would respect your thoughts when the store reached level 7, and that I will tell you everything I know when it reaches level 9… Besides, you’ve condensed a Dao Heart, and I could damage it if I recklessly peep into your mind now.”

“That’s the real reason why you’re not peeping any more, right?” Su Ping complained and then asked, “It can damage my Dao Heart? What about all the peeping in the past…”

“What are you thinking about? You didn’t even have a Dao Heart. What’s there to be damaged? How do you think I can listen to the thoughts of supreme-ruler Emperors?” said the system angrily.

Su Ping thought about it and realized it made sense.

He was just a lackey in the past; even a supreme-ruler King could peep into his mind.

However, he had already grasped a Dao Heart and had essentially become a supreme-ruler Emperor. Even when considering all the cultivation sites, he was very close to the top of the pyramid. It wasn’t that easy to peep into his mind.

However, it wasn’t that the system couldn’t peep into it. It simply didn’t want to hurt him.

“I have to improve it to level 8? System, can you make an exception? If we encounter the Heavens and end up getting eliminated, where can I find customers for you?” said Su Ping, “Being the system, you can’t be too stubborn. You must be flexible.”

“Are you telling me what to do?”

The system was angry. “Since you know that the situation is urgent, hurry up and do business.”

Su Ping felt utterly helpless, as it seemed impossible to persuade the other. However, the system had helped him enough and he had nothing to complain about. His store was already level 7. He now needed to train a supreme-ruler Emperor pet that could enter the Chaos Talents Rank to fulfill the upgrade criteria. Furthermore, it required an astronomical amount of energy.

However, compared to the first requirement, the astronomical amount of energy points was easy.

One had to consider his recent revenue and the nonstop arrival of customers; it was only a matter of time to save enough energy points. Four or five years would probably be enough.

However, it was rather difficult to train a supreme-ruler Emperor beast that could be listed on the Chaos Talents Rank.

“The requirements for level 8 are really high as it is. To reach level 9, you wouldn’t ask me to nurture an Ancestral supreme-ruler pet, right?” Su Ping asked in his heart.
