Chapter 844: Ancient Tree of Sacred Beasts
“Yes, they’re all my friends,” Su Ping replied briefly.
Such an answer left Qin Duhuang, Xie Jinshui and the others in shock. The people around Su Ping felt as scary and immeasurable as the foreign invaders they had met before. All of them were undoubtedly Star State bigshots!
Su Ping had only been away for a short time, yet he had made friends with so many Star State experts?
Was it because experts were always attracted to each other?
Whoosh!
A person suddenly dashed close and then disappeared just then, before he reappeared next to them. He was exactly Nie Huofeng who had been recovering in a special hospital.
He was still seriously injured at the moment, but he stood straight, not showing any weakness.
“Boss Su...”
Nie Huofeng wore a complicated expression when he saw Su Ping. He even pondered whether to call him “Brother Su” or “Lord.” Eventually, he chose the title that Su Ping was called the most.
Right after greeting Su Ping, Nie Huofeng noticed Xingyue Shen’er who was next to Su Ping and quickly bowed respectfully. “I am Nie Huofeng. It’s an honor to meet you, senior.”
“Yes.”
Xingyue Shen’er nodded. She could easily tell that the guy’s astral power intensity was lower than the average of the early Star State, probably because of the lack of astral power on that planet and his lack of talent.
Nie Huofeng naturally didn’t know he had left the impression of “untalented” on that Star Lord. He would have probably vomited blood if he did.
He was definitely not untalented. The astral power density had soared since the Blue Planet had been unsealed. It was truly barren in the past!
He had reached the Star State during an age of scarcity, which indicated his talent. He would have reached a higher cultivation if he would have been born on another planet of the Federation, considering his talent and tenacity.
“You’re wounded.” Su Ping looked at Nie Huofeng and easily noticed his condition.
Nie Huofeng was slightly shocked, feeling Su Ping’s strength even more clearly. He couldn’t help but remember how the latter had slaughtered the invaders. He said with a bitter smile, “You have keen eyes, Boss Su. I was indeed wounded when I tried to stop those who wanted to take the tree away.”
He didn’t exaggerate about his work, but he did state his contribution.
Su Ping nodded. “Thank you for your hard work. When you have time, bring me your pet. I’ll help you train it.”
Nie Huofeng had already learned that Su Ping was better at training than most on the Blue Planet. He was even distinguished even in the Federation.
“Thank you very much, Boss Su,” said Nie Huofeng quickly.
Su Ping flipped a divine pill at him. It was one of the pills he hadn’t had and could be used for healing. “Take it.”
Nie Huofeng was slightly puzzled; he accepted the pill and nodded.
Someone from the Alliance of Stars asked curiously just then, “Brother Heaven Destroyer, why do they call you Boss Su? Are you a trainer too?”
Su Ping nodded and said, “More or less.”
He wasn’t feigning modesty. Having seen the awesomeness of the system, he knew that he was only a beginner in the system’s eyes.
Just a beginner...
“Certainly not more or less...” O’Neil, who was at the rear of the crowd, said to himself.
If a grandmaster trainer is this modest, how could the master trainers bear the shame?
“Brother Heaven Destroyer, you’re truly multi-skilled...”
“I didn’t know that Brother Heaven Destroyer was not only a capable warrior but also a pet trainer. Both of them are time consuming.”
“So to speak, wouldn’t Brother Heaven Destroyer be even stronger if he would have only focused on cultivating?”
His fellow Alliance of Stars members remarked and sought the chance to adulate him.
None of them dared to underestimate Su Ping, even though he had claimed he was in the Void State; someone of that level would have never caught their eye.
Su Ping could defeat all of them with ease!
He was completely unlike those in the Void State!
O’Neil, however, didn’t join the rounds of flattery. He simply chuckled, as they didn’t know the first thing about the guy’s training capabilities!
However... it was good that they didn’t know!
Xingyue Shen’er looked at Su Ping in surprise but didn’t think too much of it. A lot of geniuses she knew had quirks of their own; some loved gambling, traveling, making movies while others loved making love.
Those geniuses would always spend a huge amount of time on things they were interested in.
Fighting and cultivating seemed to be their hobby, but their strength wasn’t affected, at all. Geniuses were never easy to understand, not to mention that Su Ping was a genius among geniuses!
“Brother Heaven Destroyer?”
Qin Duhuang, Liu Tianzong and the others all looked at Su Ping in confusion.
They had already picked up the Common Tongue, and were puzzled by the newcomers’ way of addressing Su Ping; they didn’t know when or how Su Ping had gotten that nickname.
Noticing the confusion on their faces, Su Ping blushed and coughed. “Let’s go back first. Dad, mom. Let’s head back too. I want to eat some dumplings.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll make dumplings for you.” His mother smiled and glanced at Xingyue Shen’er now and then, as if measuring her up.
Su Yuanshan was quite familiar with that kind of observation. His wife was assessing a potential daughter-in-law...
However, he was a Legendary battle pet warrior and could easily tell that she was clearly the commander of the Star State cultivators present, and probably stronger than all of them regardless of her seemingly young age.
Those who were beyond the Star State were dominators of their respective regions.
Obviously, there was no way that such a girl would be interested in his son. He knew his boy was excellent, but it would probably be really hard for him to conquer such a dominator.
Nevertheless... Son, keep it up!
Su Yuanshan secretly cheered for him and smiled.
Su Ping was really creeped out by his parents’ weird smiles, although he didn’t think much of it as he took them back to the Longjiang Base City.
Xingyue Shen’er and the others tagged along; they had already scanned the entire base city, but they didn’t do it openly since it was Su Ping’s hometown. They simply gave a secret scan and found that the city was definitely new.
It seems that Brother Heaven Destroyer’s hometown is still in rapid development...
...
Once they got back to Longjiang, Su Ping held a victory banquet with Nie Huofeng, Qin Duhuang and the others.
It was also meant to express his gratitude to them.
There were two tiers of tables at the banquet; those underneath the Star State, such as Qin Duhuang, were seated in a few tables, while those from the Alliance of Stars were in another pair of tables. Although Su Ping wanted Qin Duhuang and the others to make friends with those experts from the alliance, he didn’t go as far as have them dine at the same table, which would’ve made them feel uncomfortable.
The whole base city, and even the entire Blue Planet, was cheering at the moment.
The foreign forces that had invaded the planet had been crushed; their lord had returned like a majestic king and suppressed all disasters!
All the base cities across the globe were cheering and celebrating on that day.
Even though some of the ordinary people would have to work on the next day, they actually felt more energetic to work the next morning, and kept on talking about the battle with their colleagues.
There was a heated discussion on the Blue Planet’s Internet.
The most heated and acknowledged thread was that the Blue Planet was on the rise!
From that day onwards, the Blue Planet would no longer be a small planet that anyone could take advantage of!
Ever since the Blue Planet was connected to the Federation, many corporations had been trading with foreigners, but the trades weren’t fair. The best goods were often sold for the cheapest prices in order to open the market. However, things would be different from then on!
Su Ping had defended the divine tree and the dignity of the Blue Planet in that battle, right when he returned!
Henceforth, nobody would dare to underestimate and exploit the natives of the Blue Planet as they had before!
While being in a good mood, Su Ping got drunk and dizzy. He later removed all the alcohol in his body with astral power, and regained his calmness.
He would occasionally have fun with others, but he knew how to live alone.
I need to take care of the divine tree before I go.
Su Ping wasn’t in a hurry to train in seclusion. He looked at the distance where a tall tree could be vaguely seen.
Whoosh!
Su Ping flashed into the fourth space and then dashed out. Once he reappeared, he had already reached the divine tree, flying above the sea.
The base cities across the Subcontinent District were ablaze with lights from that view, which indicated their prosperity.
The wind was cold on the sea at night. Su Ping frowned as he saw the huge tree and thought of something. He took out the two divine fruits from his storage.
“System, can you detect what fruits they are?” Su Ping asked in his heart
“Yes.”
“Great!”
“Don’t be so quick to get happy!”
“...”
Su Ping gnashed his teeth, “You want energy again?”
“I never demand energy against other people’s will,” said the system casually and proudly, “It’s a necessary skill for a trainer to distinguish pet food. Your pet food identification skill is too low. Once it’s upgraded you’ll know what the fruits are.”
Stunned, Su Ping asked, “But is the divine tree pet food too?”
“Everything is a pet, everything can be trained, and everything is pet food!” declared the system with an indifferent and majestic tone.
“...”
Su Ping was left speechless. He was always frightened by the system’s definitions.
“Okay, I’ll upgrade the pet food identification skill.”
“It requires 100,000 energy points to upgrade it to the middle level.”
“Sure thing.”
Soon after, Su Ping felt a tremendous amount of information that contained many categories surge in his head.
It wasn’t until a couple of minutes later that Su Ping finally digested the information.
However, he found that he still didn’t recognize the divine tree.
“Keep upgrading.”
“The advanced food identification skill requires fifty million energy points,” said the system.
“...”
Shouldn’t it be ten times higher?
From a hundred thousand to fifty million... What kind of increase is that?
“You may choose to refuse.” The system sounded aloof.
Su Ping: “...”
Damn you, system, you know I can’t refuse, not after learning this much useful information!
“First offense.”
“I’ll have it!”
“Hehe.”
That chuckle was quite insulting.
Su Ping gritted his teeth and had to hold himself back.
Very soon, Su Ping sensed a torrent of information flooding into his head. His mind was overwhelmed for a long time before he was finally able to see the ocean of information that elaborated on countless fields.
“This is the advanced food identification skill...” Su Ping mumbled in shock.
He didn’t know what to say.
Should I have been less reluctant?
No way! He would rather kill himself than to lower his head to the system!
“Is this... the Ancient Tree of Sacred Beasts?”
Su Ping focused his eyes on the tall tree. This time, a lot of relevant information popped up in his head. It turned out to be a rarely-seen super treasure!
In terms of value, it was at least in the Ascendant State!
What shocked Su Ping the most was the function of the tree. The fruits it yielded could breed strong sacred beasts, which contained refined bloodlines of the gods and the essence of the tree. They were born as divine beasts and would have the Divine Tree Constitution!
It was a rather powerful divine constitution, which would grant stamina in battles and extraordinary healing abilities!
However, that was not the greatest value of that divine tree.
If the fruits were eaten before they were fully mature, they would awaken human beings and turn them into demigods!
The more fruits eaten, the more effective they would be!
A complete Ancient Tree of Sacred Beasts could only yield 99 fruits in total!
However, if the 99 fruits were eaten by the same creature, no matter what level or species the creature was, it could later evolve into an ancient sacred beast in the Ascendant State!
“This tree... can breed Ascendant State beasts!”
Su Ping was too shocked to talk; it was too unbelievable!
He didn’t know that a tree could possibly achieve that!
No wonder the system said that everything was pet food. That could indeed be counted as pet food, and it was among the best!
Such trees went extinct in ancient times. I wonder if anyone in the Federation is aware of them. If the news were to spread, probably even Ascendants would come for it. After all, they can breed Ascendant State pets with this tree, or give the fruits to their own Ascendant State pets to strengthen them!
Su Ping suddenly grew nervous. It wasn’t necessarily a good thing that such a treasure had emerged on the Blue Planet. At least, he wasn’t yet able to defend it against Ascendant experts.
He could only hope that the information about that formerly extinct tree was not registered in the Federation’s database so that nobody could recognize it!
