Chapter 1141: Return to the Store

Chapter 1139 Return to the Store

“Su Ping didn’t get the legacy?”

The other people who participated in the trial were dumbfounded to hear Lin Xiu and the Celestial State expert’s conversation.

They didn’t expect that Su Ping, the key bearer, would choose not to participate in the trial. Those who had embarked on the trial road beyond the lamps would never return.

“It’s great that he’s fine…” In the crowdLoulan Lin and the others heaved sighs.

They were slower than others when they passed the second test, so there were more than twenty people ahead of them waiting in line for the third test.

We didn’t see Lin Xiu participate in the second test. Why is he the one who won the legacy? thought one of the participants, but didn’t dare to ask, as Lin Xiu was as alive as anyone could be at the moment and his pet was extremely ferocious. They knew better than provoking that guy, or even their masters might not be able to save them. One of the Celestial State experts called out to their disciple, One of the Celestial State experts called out to their disciple, “Hongyue, come here.”

The other Celestial State experts also summoned their disciples. One of them was close to Shuai Qianhou; they summoned Shuai Qianhou, Diaz and the others who hadn’t taken part in the test yet and took them away.

Shuai Qianhou emboldened himself and asked the Celestial expert, “My lord, what happened exactly?”

The Celestial Court expert looked at him, slightly astonished by his boldness. He simply heaved a sigh and whispered, “The Celestial Court is in trouble. Your senior brother Su Ping didn’t get the legacy; he merely stole an artifact from the ruins. Lin Xiu won’t let him go now after becoming the inheritor.”

“Didn’t Su Ping have the key?” Shuai Qianhou couldn’t help but ask.

Diaz was similarly puzzled. They had surmised that Su Ping would most likely get the legacy. The Celestial expert shook his head. He and the other Celestial State experts also thought that Su Ping would surely win the legacy after learning he had established triple small worlds; no other trial taker was as talented as him. However, the outcome was unexpexted; they didn’t know what happened exactly.

“Let’s go to the Celestial Court,” said the Celestial expert. Not dallying further, he simply took them away.

The other Celestials took their respective disciples; the Loulan family’s friends took the members of the Loulan family to the Celestial Court.

A war was about to break out; they wanted to witness it in person.

In space, outside of a star zone.

Shen Huang and Su Ping appeared. The former’s expression changed somewhat from the moment they arrived.

“What’s the matter?”

Su Ping felt that his heart was racing upon seeing his master’s sudden change.

Shen Huang quickly tore the void apart to create a teleportation channel, then enshrouded Su Ping with power from the void and entered the channel.

“Did you or did you not inherit the legacy?” asked Shen Huang in a low voice; there was no telling what he was truly thinking. Su Ping’s eyes twitched; he didn’t answer.

“Lin Xiu just came out of the ruins with a Celestial State beast as his mount. He claimed that your Celestial State aura was produced by a Path Seeking Pill…” Shen Huang looked ahead and spoke steadily.

Su Ping was dazed. He immediately thought of the Celestial experts’ capabilities, and realized why Shen Huang knew what had happened in the ruins, even though they had already left.

He was reading information from another time and space.

It was a method that only Celestials were capable of using; their paths had already been melded with the paths of the universe.

They had transcended the perfect path of time; that power was incomprehensible to those below the Celestial State.

It seems that the old monster has been reborn. It’s only natural that he could rein in a ferocious beast… Su Ping thought.

“Right now, Lin Xiu and his master Yong Ye are on their way over, ready to take things back from us,” said Shen Huang as calmly as before. “You got the key, but you didn’t inherit the legacy; I want to know what happened back there.”

Su Ping spoke after a long silence, “Master, it’s a scheme.”

“A scheme?”

Shen Huang’s eyebrows rose ever so slightly.

Knowing that it was impossible to keep it a secret anymore, Su Ping decided to confess the whole truth.”Lin Xiu didn’t inherit the legacy; rather, the legacy chose him. He’s not exactly Lin Xiu anymore, but Ye Chen, an ancient devil who was the master of those ruins!

“That devil needs nine top constitutions for his rebirth since so many years have passed. He’s still using Lin Xiu’s appearance because he probably wants to take advantage of Yong Ye. After all, his power must be unstable right now, and he can’t crush all the other Celestials in the universe yet.”

“I see…” Shen Huang mumbled, as if he believed what Su Ping said. Then, he said, “But he’s coming for you, of all people. It might be because he’s afraid that you’ll also rise to the Celestial State with the Path Seeking Pill, but it might also be because of the things you did back there, right?”

Su Ping’s expression changed a bit. Then, he nodded without hesitation. “Yes. I took some of his treasures; one of them is an artifact. I couldn’t have escaped without their coercion and your help. I might have ended up as one of the nine constitutions he collected.” “Coercion…” Shen Huang glanced at Su Ping and said, “I heard that you have triple small worlds; you must have hidden them in your small world, right? No wonder we didn’t detect anything. Can you show them to me?”

Su Ping gazed at him for a long time before he finally nodded. “No problem.”

Demonic aura surged from his body. The cauldron woman turned into a black mist, gradually gathering into a hazy shadow next to him.

“You’re this brat’s master? I advise you not to play any tricks. Right now, the old devil is chasing you and I’ve planted a curse on this brat; I will have him die if you dare to attack. Also, don’t try to manipulate me; you don’t have enough power to manipulate me yet!” declared the woman proudly.

She wasn’t at all scared as she faced Shen Huang alone.

The latter glanced at the woman and listened in silence, as if pondering over something.

Light glittered outside of the channel at that moment, and they finally slid out. Before them was an enormous blue planet, which was none other than Rhea.

Su Ping’s eyes glittered, but he didn’t say anything else.

Shen Huang snapped out of his ruminations. He glanced at the planet and then at Su Ping. As if having read something from Su Ping’s eyes, he then said softly, “This is your territory; lead the way.”

Su Ping nodded. He instantly ripped the void apart and dashed towards Rhea.

The cauldron woman’s original self was still in Su Ping’s small world, as she was being pulled to the planet. She scanned the whole place, not finding anything unusual. She didn’t want to stay any longer, once she saw that Shen Huang wasn’t going to attack her. She said, “Brat, our deal is over. The old monster has already returned; it’s time we go our separate ways!” “No rush,” said Su Ping, “This is a safe place. It’ll be dangerous for you if you go to other places.”

Shen Huang’s eyes glittered. He then said casually, “Indeed. If the old monster, as you call him, is taking advantage of Yong Ye, it means that he’s still weak. Now that he’s been reborn, we might as well do him a favor and help him die again.”

The cauldron woman and Su Ping couldn’t help but glance at him, astonished at his brutality.

Su Ping had never seen that side of his master; he was greatly surprised. But then, he thought it was natural; after all, his master had reigned over the Celestial Court for countless years; he wouldn’t believe that the latter was a simple and merciful man.

Some people had seen infinite dirt and dust, but they refused to be filthy. Maybe it wasn’t because they were kindhearted, but because they didn’t want to demean themselves.

After all, very few people would voluntarily hide in the gutter; they wished they could be admired by other people in the light too.

“Kill the old monster? Just you and us?” The woman raised her brows in suspicion. Still she was indeed tempted, because she hadn’t made a move to leave.

Shen Huang glanced at Su Ping. “Instead of asking for my help in such a dangerous moment, you chose to return to this place. I’ve always wanted to find out about the person who’s been covering your stream of fate, making it impossible to see your original self. He’s probably also a man who should have perished in the rivers of time, but somehow survived!” Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He wasn’t surprised by Shen Huang’s conjectures. Merely two seconds of silence passed before he nodded and said, “You can say that.”

“There’s another Celestial expert here?” The cauldron woman’s eyebrows rose a bit.

Everybody walked out of the void at that moment, finding themselves right in front of Su Ping’s store on planet Rhea.

The customers waiting in line were astounded, going bonkers when they saw Shen Huang. Some were even shrieking.

“It’s Shen Huang!”

“The master of the Celestial Court is here, in the flesh!”

“B-Boss Su has invited Shen Huang to his store! Oh my god!”

“I just saw him in the commercial…”

Many customers were shocked.

Shen Huang’s statues had been set in every important and prosperous planet within the Golden Star Zone. Aside from his statues, there were also statues of great scientists and pioneers. Of course, everybody knew what the leader of their star zone looked like.

However, none of them expected that Su Ping would bring his master to the store. That was a Celestial State expert!

Even the Ascendant cultivators would tremble in his presence!

“I’ve long heard that Boss Su is Shen Huang’s disciple. I didn’t know it was true!”

“Am I dreaming? This… This…”

Outside of the store—no one knew who started it, but everybody fell on their knees as a sign of utmost reverence.

Shen Huang didn’t feel anything special to see this; he had grown used to such gestures. Both he and the cauldron woman were observing Su Ping’s store at the moment.

Su Ping had played a trick when he moved through deep space; they got out within the range of his store. So, he was already safe. It wasn’t until that moment that Su Ping felt completely relieved.

He chuckled and said, “Master, come on in, please.”

Both Shen Huang and the woman noticed Su Ping’s change; they narrowed their eyes curiously. They couldn’t detect what lay beyond the store’s closed doors, but they could clearly see everything else on display, including Tang Ruyan, Green Lady, and others who were busy working “Shen Huang?”

All the customers inside the store ran out in surprise after hearing the ruckus outside. They quickly knelt when they saw Shen Huang due to their shock.

Su Ping helped the customers back to their feet. He then called Tang Ruyan and said, “Close the store for the day. Also, register the customers outside the store and ask them to leave for now.”

Tang Ruyan was stunned; she looked at Shen Huang who was next to Su Ping, but she didn’t recognize him. After all, she had been busy in the store ever since her arrival to the Federation with Su Ping; she had never paid attention to leaders such as Shen Huang. She asked curiously after receiving instructions, “Why? Did something happen?”

“Yes, something big.” Su Ping nodded.

Green Lady and Joanna walked out solemnly. It was the first time that Su Ping had brought a Celestial to the store; both felt a lot of pressure.

Shen Huang also saw them. Astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He could tell that both of them were in the Ascendant State, and yet they readily worked for Su Ping.

Most importantly, he recognized that one of them was a pure god and the other seemed to be a pill!

It was a pill able to morph into a human being with Ascendant State power; no doubt it was extremely rare. Furthermore, pure gods had already gone extinct in the universe. Why was there one in Su Ping’s store?

Shen Huang suddenly felt that Su Ping carried more enigmas than he thought. Perhaps the man who had been silently helping Su Ping was an expert from the ancient past!

“A pill…” The cauldron woman also recognized Green Lady’s nature.

Su Ping then opened his small world to release the demonic sutra and Golden Lotus.

He already felt at home; it was unnecessary for him to hide anything anymore. “You truly consider a pill as a partner…” Golden Lotus found Green Lady quite familiar, and was rather stunned. It wasn’t until that moment that she finally believed what Su Ping said. The young man truly regarded them as his own kind and his partners!

The old man, however, had been frowning ever since he showed up; he had noticed Su Ping’s subtle changes. Furthermore, the store gave him a depressing and creepy feeling; still, he could quite figure out what was wrong.

“Huh?”

Shen Huang’s expression changed a bit upon seeing the old man and Golden Lotus, not expecting that Su Ping was hiding more things. It wasn’t too surprising, though. Still, the old man felt rather wicked and threatening.

“I didn’t know you were taking precautions against your own master.”

Shen Huang glanced at Su Ping and added, “That is why you ran off from Lin Xiu, right? Were you really held hostage by them?”

Su Ping smiled awkwardly and said, “Master, don’t be upset. They were hiding in my small world and I had to do whatever they asked me to. This was all her scheme. I probably would have been torn apart the moment I left the residence if you hadn’t been by my side. They would have gone their separate ways by then.”

The old man raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, “Why would we? Young man, as I said, even though I’m a demonic sutra, I have always been of a kind heart; I would have never hurt you.”

The cauldron woman sneered. “Brat, you’re not too stupid. I would have killed you first had it not been for the treasures you offered me!”

Golden Lotus was stunned. “Treasures? What treasures?”

The cauldron woman glimpsed at her. “The treasures he looted from the old monster’s palace, of course. He took a lot of the treasures away, didn’t he? Hehe. He’s given half of the treasures to me. Given enough time, I’ll be able to remove the three restraints and even rise to the emperor level!”

Golden Lotus was dazed. She didn’t expect that Su Ping would give those treasures to the demonic cauldron.

Had he been planning to conspire with the cauldron since the very beginning?
