Chapter 1325 - The Golden Crows’ Ancestor (2)

“Thank you very much, senior,” Su Ping was quick to offer thanks. Then he asked, “I wonder, how long have I been cultivating?”

“1,200 years!” said Diqiong gloomily while she stared at Su Ping. It had taken her a thousand years to grasp that technique.

Su Ping turned out to be almost on par with her forte, the aspect she was most proud of.

“That long?”

Su Ping was really taken aback. He did sense that a long time had passed, but he didn’t expect it to be a thousand years.

He had only cultivated for a hundred years before that.

Although he was cultivating one of the best secret techniques, that single session took ten times more than his entire life thus far. It was crazy.

“You think it’s too long?” Diqiong rolled her eyes and said, “Some of the talented members of my clan have to cultivate five to ten thousand years to grasp this technique. Some even failed after going at it for ten thousand years. What you did was crazy!”

“Well…” Su Ping was speechless; he never considered himself smart. Unconsciously, he was going to say that it was ‘because you were too stupid.’

— But he managed to hold it back before he spat it out.

“Don’t worry, you were cultivating in your mental space. Time flows at a different speed in my universe and in your mental space; only a year has passed in the outside world,” said the Chief Elder.

“A year?”

......

Su Ping calculated and realized it had been more than one month since he left the store.

He couldn’t help but feel worried about the situation outside. However, he also felt that grasping such a powerful technique in only one month was time well spent. It would have been worth it even if he truly spent a thousand years in the real world!

“Now, I will give you the ancestor’s blood. It’s straight from our ancestor’s heart, where his essence and soul power is concentrated; it’ll help you improve your physique and cultivation. But most importantly, you’ll be able to enter the ancestor’s consciousness with the blood.”

The Chief Elder added solemnly, “If you’re lucky, you might be able to detect the ancestor, or even receive his guidance. If your luck isn’t as good, you’ll still be able to feel the world that the ancestor felt, which will be a rare and precious opportunity for you as it is. I hope that you’ll cherish it!”

Su Ping was stunned. I can feel the world that the Golden Crows’ ancestor felt?

What kind of marvelous item was that? It was almost unimaginable!

It was a dream opportunity for anyone. Even an Ancestral God would yearn for it. All the God Emperors in the Archean Divinity would fight over such an opportunity!

“Chief Elder, you’re truly generous.” Diqiong smiled bitterly. She didn’t expect the elder to hand him blood, and essence blood from the heart, no less. It was an opportunity that even she would envy.

The next moment, Su Ping felt that he was standing in front of the Chief Elder; he was surrounded by a pair of brilliant and gold wings, as if entering the Chief Elder’s embrace.

Then, Su Ping saw the most dazzling star, right before his eyes.

vas

He couldn’t describe what color it was; it was neither golden nor silver, but it was extremely splendid and glorious.

Su Ping detected a primitive aura coming from the star; something that was beyond all living things and even the universe itself. Su Ping felt a lot of things during that brief moment, such as life and death, chaos, origin, time and space, and many others.

The next moment—the dazzling star flew towards Su Ping’s forehead.

The auras became even more intense. Su Ping didn’t move to dodge, simply letting the dazzling star shoot into his forehead. His mind was instantly on the verge of exploding. Infinite sets of information were blossoming, taking him to a dreamy and colorful world.

Countless insights were flying in his consciousness. If Su Ping had never grasped any paths before, he would have quickly grasped perfect paths at that moment.

Right at the center of those paths-Su Ping felt that a majestic and intimidating figure was standing

Endless paths surrounded the aura, like a gesture of worship.

Even the paths were awed by the aura!

While following the paths, he drifted onward and saw the origin of that majestic energy; it turned out to be a figure standing in the vast universe.

The universe had countless paths flying about; the figure was so magnificent that it seemed to have filled up the whole universe!

Stars and galaxies seemed to be tiny dots of light on the edge of its wings. It was hard to describe the shock; Su Ping felt that his blood was boiling and flowing backwards. While staring at the massive sight, his mind almost went blank, forgetting everything except the great shock.

Inle

“Is this… the Golden Crows’ ancestor?” Su Ping mumbled. His words seemed to have disturbed both time and space; the grand figure emitted some ripples. Then, Su Ping heard a godly and gentle voice in his head. “You’re from the Primitive Chaos Clan? Wait, there are several different auras in your body… Huh? There seems to be something else in your soul.”

Dazed, Su Ping slightly narrowed his eyes. Is the guy talking about the system?

If that was the case, the Golden Crows’ ancestor was truly terrifying.

It was the first time for Su Ping to encounter anyone who could sense the system!

“You must have acquired my essence blood before you came here…” said the ancestor, “But you’re from another race. Is it because the Heavens have come again?”

Su Ping said nervously, “Senior Ancestor, I’m here to seek the Great Dao.”

“Why do you seek it?”

Su Ping felt dazed after that simple question. Why?

“I hope to protect my family and friends,” said Su Ping truthfully after giving it some thought.

It would sound unconvincing if his claim was to save the world.

“Just your family and friends? That’s too shortsighted.” The ancestor’s voice turned cold, obviously dissatisfied with Su Ping’s answer.

Su Ping said with a bitter smile, “How can you protect anyone else if you can’t protect your family and friends?”

After a moment of silence, the Golden Crows’ ancestor said coldly, “Those clans thought exactly the same, which resulted in today’s situation. The Golden Crows had to seclude themselves; I left that instruction because I hoped to break the boundary. Those who are not from our kind can be helped.

“Unfortunately…”

It was clear he was deeply disappointed in Su Ping.

He was willing to offer his essence blood, and even allowed the Chief Elder to give it to someone from another race. However, the chosen one seemed to think just like the others in the past.

Would the catastrophe happen again?

Su Ping realized what the ancestor meant and hesitated. He too agreed with him; however, he thought that the guy might have misunderstood him.

The Little Skeleton and the Lightning Rat were also both aliens for him.

Furthermore, considering his current bloodline, humankind was just as alien.

Still, they were compatriots, partners and trusted friends in his eyes.

His definition of family and friends was different.

“Fine. I’ll grant you a gift, now that you’re already here. Since I decided to break the boundary, I’d better see through the end of it.” The ancestor didn’t criticize Su Ping further. Although disappointed, he decided to help him; after all, his original thought would be ridiculous if he changed his mind just because of Su Ping’s opinion.

Before Su Ping could put in a word edgewise -dazzling light burst out of the Golden Crows’ ancestor.

Su Ping instantly felt he was consumed by flames, like being burned alive.

The situation didn’t look like an opportunity; it felt more like a punishment.

“Your universe is similar to the original. That’s one of the best even in the time of chaos. I’ll show you three unparalleled Dao Hearts. Feel free to pick any of them and see if you can comprehend it.”
