Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 1469
Chapter 1469 New Road (2)
The Great Dao has been combined and consolidated. The universe is the Great Dao and can never be destroyed…
If a single Great Dao can be strengthened until it becomes as powerful as the combined Great Dao, my universe will be more powerful…
Su Ping’s body was doing his best to resist, but his consciousness was extremely calm. Despite the agony of being torn apart, his resolve was such that it seemed as if the agony was being endured by someone else. His mind was still functioning rapidly. Even during his moment between life and death, he was still considering what direction to take for his cultivation.
Su Ping’s body was soon annihilated.
!!
Still, he came back quickly after.
The Chief Elder narrowed his eyes upon seeing this happen, but kept his own counsel.
My individual Great Dao has already been perfected. It can’t be strengthened without being combined with the features of other Great Daos. They must be combined!
How can I continue improving the Great Dao without combining them?
Su Ping examined the features of the universe and summoned his own universe in an attempt to resist, but it soon fell apart like an eggshell, followed by the destruction of the deep spaces contained within.
He was slightly stunned by the sight of his broken universe.
Su Ping respawned.
He summoned his universe a second time.
Watching his universe fall apart again made his eyes glitter.
Death, resurrection, summoning his universe.
Su Ping repeated those actions as if in a frenzied state.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping died a hundred times while the Chief Elder remained motionless. He could easily destroy that human with the power of his universe. They were on completely different levels. Even so, his eyes looked solemn. He didn’t look down on Su Ping, at all.
Technically speaking, Su Ping was two realms weaker than him. However, he had the feeling that it wouldn’t take long for the kid to catch up to and even surpass him!
“Deep spaces…”
“Universe…”
Su Ping mumbled to himself. The epiphany became clearer and clearer, giving light to an idea.
If he divided his universe into different layers and consolidated each layer with the Great Dao, wouldn’t he be able to create an undying universe? They would be multiple undying universes!
Su Ping thought of the grand universe outside.
When cultivating their universes, they had always based them off of the grand universe.
It had always been the norm for living creatures to learn from nature and observe the changes in the universe.
The grand universe was created by nature; still, it was like the finest piece of art, and everything was in order. It functioned because of the Great Dao at work.
There were nine deep spaces in the universe, and each space was independent.
If I divide my universe into layers and cultivate, I may be able to have multiple undying universes…
Su Ping grew confident about this plan, and quickly asked the Chief Elder to pause. Then, without caring about anything else, he simply sat and meditated on the spot, releasing his universe and separating it into layers.
The layer separation was in fact very simple. He actually finished the process with a single thought.
Following that, he fused all the Great Daos in the first layer of the universe.
Having experience in cultivating multiple small worlds, Su Ping’s first universe was one of stars.
All the Great Daos gathered like clusters of
stars.
He soon encountered a problem as he implemented his idea. The universe had to be reborn in order to combine and merge the Great Daos. While rebirth took place, the universe would return to its original form from the peak, and the layers would be destroyed in the process.
In simpler terms, his multi-layered universe would completely fall apart and be recreated as he consolidated his first universe, the newborn undying universe.
In such a case, he would walk the same path as the others who had attained the Undying State.
There were certainly others who thought of this in the long passage of history, but they never succeeded. This is why they ended up getting stuck… Su Ping felt frustrated and wanted to give up. It wasn’t due to lack of determination, but because he had discovered a fundamental flaw and could only choose a normal method.
If only there was a way to allow the Great Dao surpass the shackles of perfection without melding with anything else…
Su Ping’s eyes glittered. All of a sudden, he remembered the unusual scene he saw through the Golden Crow ancestor’s memories.
There seemed to be bodies floating in the depths of the universe, and the Great Dao floated out of those bodies like worms.
At the same time, a sentence popped up in his head.
Everything can be trained!
With a boom, Su Ping’s ears rang as if having just received a hit in the head.
Everything… included the universe. So, the Great Dao was among them!
The Great Dao could be trained too!
Su Ping almost shivered at the thought. The system had actually told him the road to the peak since the very beginning! Everything can be trained, including the Great Dao. Training the Great Dao is different from melding it. If I consider the Great Dao as a living entity, I can link to it with my Contract Dao Heart. When a battle pet warrior wants to train their pets, other than feeding them valuable materials, they can also transmit their own powers to the pets through the contract.
However, very few use that method, because it consumes their cultivation. After all, it’s possible to ask a pet trainer to train your pet, while no one can cultivate for you. The former can be taken care of with money, but the latter requires time. Cultivation is all about making the best use of time…
Su Ping took a deep breath. He suddenly realized how terrifying the system was. The stronger he was, the more he became wary of the system. It was a horrifying existence he had yet to understand.
Even if the system was a cheat, it existed in that universe. It had to have an origin.
“System, what exactly are you? And what’s your purpose?” Su Ping mumbled, but didn’t get any reply. He stopped thinking about it, as he knew answers would come after he upgraded his store to level 9.
“How did it go? Any thoughts?” asked the Chief Elder with a smile, seeing that Su Ping had opened his eyes after meditating.
Su Ping gave the beast expert a slight nod and said, “I have a theory.”
“Huh?”
The Chief Elder was astonished. It was just a casual question, not expecting a positive answer.
It had to be noted that besides the general approach, not even the ancestor had an alternate cultivation method.
“This is going to be a very unusual way!” Su Ping said with a smile and then closed his eyes. He stopped trying to combine the Great Daos, even thinking about it being an incorrect approach. After all, every Great Dao was unique, with irreplaceable features.
Once the Great Dao was combined, their features would be weakened and reorganized into new ones. They were actually destroyed in such a way.
“Contract!”
Su Ping made use of his Dao Heart to bond with the first Great Dao, the Dao of Fire.
It was Su Ping’s first perfected Great Dao. Su Ping picked it again and decided to train it first.
Su Ping instantly felt that the Dao of Fire was a lot closer to him after the contract was established. He could almost feel an intimacy.
It was as vague as an illusion, but it was real.
Su Ping was rather excited, feeling he was on the right track. He then transmitted the power in his body into the Dao of Fire in the way he trained pets.
An intense power of flames burst out of Su Ping’s body, setting the void ablaze, even though there was nothing flammable in the void.
Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at the burning flames. He frowned a bit. The Dao of Fire had indeed been strengthened, but not enough. He sensed that the power he had transferred only passed through the Dao of Fire; none of it was absorbed.
If this goes on, it’ll only be a simple strengthening, not real growth. Su Ping’s eyes glittered. The Great Dao will grow when combined. Do I have to send in the power of other Great Daos to help it grow?
Su Ping looked at himself after that thought popped up. There were originally 108 Dao Glyphs in his body, and Su Ping had deciphered them all. Those Dao Glyphs had a strong mutual attraction; they would naturally gather when separated.
Once combined, they would form an extremely powerful Dao Glyph. Or rather, the 108 Dao Glyphs in fact the components of a dismembered Great Dao.
