Chapter 619 The Tree Leading to the Stars

Are you sure you're not kidding me?

Su Ping thought to himself that he was complaining, but he didn't say it out loud, lest he end up in the resurrection space again.

When it comes to looks, never argue with a female; this is a profound lesson Su Ping learned in his previous life.

Fortunately, he's quite handsome in this life...

Thinking of this, Su Ping suddenly felt much better. He felt the scorching heat around him subside somewhat. Suppressing the pain of the intense heat, he smiled and said, "Then it really is fate. It just so happens that I am also one of the most handsome men in our human race. For the sake of our good looks, shall we have a peaceful chat?"

"Handsome? Good-looking?"

Jinwu was somewhat puzzled, but seemed to barely understand what Su Ping meant. It looked Su Ping up and down and said, "You four-legged animals are so disgusting, I can't tell the difference."

"..."

Don't think that just because you're a female bird I won't curse at you!

Su Ping felt like flipping the table, but for the sake of Daju Temple, he held back.

A good man doesn't fight with birds.

"These are my hands, these are my feet. Never mind, there's nothing to discuss here. Let's get back to the point. I want to find cultivation materials for the second level of the Golden Crow Divine Demon Body. Once I've mastered it, I'll be half a Golden Crow... For these reasons, could you give me some pointers?" Su Ping asked.

As he spoke, he glanced at the three claws under the golden crow's belly.

You three-legged thing, how dare you look down on me, who has two legs!

"A hand? Half a golden crow?"

The Golden Crow glanced at Su Ping's hands, but its attention was quickly drawn to the half-Golden Crow that Su Ping mentioned later. Its eyes flashed with obvious anger as it said, "The bloodline of our Golden Crow clan is on par with heaven and earth. How could a strange creature like you possibly possess it? I don't care where your cultivation method came from, you deserve to die!"

Hearing these disdainful words, Su Ping became somewhat angry and said, "What do you mean by 'strange creature'? I told you, this was given to me by your clan's ancestors. I have done it a favor. Your Golden Crow clan is supposed to be an ancient god-demon clan. Can't you even distinguish right from wrong?"

"You're shameless." The system's voice echoed in Su Ping's mind, somewhat disdainful of his righteous pronouncements about the origin of this cultivation method.

Hearing the system's voice, Su Ping thought irritably, "You still have the nerve to say that? Do you expect me to expose you? You're the one who can't stand being seen by others, and you're blaming me for making up stories!"

"Who said I'm shameful? Go ahead and expose me if you dare, and see who believes you." The system sneered, utterly emboldened.

Su Ping was speechless for a moment. Suddenly, he realized that the system had never been afraid of being exposed; it was just that he himself was afraid of exposing the system. Damn it, this damn system...

Why are you yelling at me again?

"Am I supposed to be criticizing myself?"

"..."

The system spat out a contemptuous "Pah!" and said nothing more.

Su Ping's thoughts, which had been arguing with the system, returned to the golden crow before him.

"Our Golden Crow clan would never pass on our cultivation methods to outsiders. You're definitely lying, and you even questioned my appearance. You're absolutely a treacherous creature!"

The clear, cold voice of the golden crow spoke righteously and confidently in Su Ping's mind.

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, wanting to argue, but after thinking about it, he realized that apart from the issue of appearance, he really couldn't explain the fact that the cultivation method was not passed on to outsiders.

Perhaps such a rule truly exists among the Golden Crow clan.

If he's talking nonsense, then he'll be exposed immediately.

As for arguing about appearance... what's the difference between that and courting death?

Seeing Su Ping speechless and silent, Jinwu's clear voice carried a hint of smugness as he said, "See, you were seen through by my divine eyes, weren't you? Hmph, although you deserve to die, I don't seem to be able to kill you. You're a truly peculiar species. Fine, I'll take you back and show you to the elders. Perhaps they have a solution."

Su Ping felt a chill run down his spine. Should he take this back to show the elders?

Being called an elder means that one's seniority and combat power are far superior to that of the golden crow. At that time, he might not even be able to die!

run!

Su Ping turned and ran, disappearing in an instant.

But just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly bumped into a wall, and it really felt like his nose had been knocked crooked.

The space is imprisoned!

Moreover, it was a tight confinement, like an impregnable fortress!

剑！

Su Ping flipped his hand and drew his sword. Suddenly, he slashed out with a whoosh. The sword energy surged, but he was as if he had sunk into mud and disappeared into the confined space.

It was all for naught!

Su Ping felt a chill in his heart. Even his strongest sword technique was unable to break through this space!

He could break through any spatial confinement imposed by a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator, just like the spatial confinement cast by the Thousand-Eyed Rakshasa Beast in the abyss, which couldn't stop him!

"Huh, there's also dark magic power?"

When Jinwu saw the Asura Sword Qi released by Su Ping, he showed a surprised expression, seemingly not expecting that the race on Chaos Tianyang Star could actually master this power.

"How peculiar." Jinwu didn't say anything more. Suddenly, golden light rose up around him. In an instant, Su Ping felt his vision turn into a crimson gold. From the outside, it seemed that his body had appeared in a golden cube and was imprisoned inside.

Su Ping slashed at the cube with his sword, but it had no effect whatsoever; instead, the impact numbed his hand.

On the ground, the Hellfire Candle Dragon Beast saw Su Ping in danger and roared as it rushed over at top speed, letting out a deafening roar.

But the next moment, a burst of flames erupted, and before the roar had even faded, the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, which had just charged forward in fury, was melted by the golden flames, leaving not even a trace.

Er Gou also rushed over, but was instantly killed as well.

resurrection!

Without hesitation, Su Ping revived them immediately.

The Golden Crow exclaimed in surprise again, clearly not expecting that these two low-level demonic beasts, besides Su Ping, also possessed such peculiar abilities. With a flap of its wings, several more bursts of golden flames surged forth, instantly killing the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and Er Gou once more.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and Er Gou unleashed their strongest skills, but they were completely powerless against the golden flames, like ice and snow melting away.

resurrection!

Su Ping revived them again.

The Golden Crow grew increasingly astonished, but this time, instead of killing them, it released a golden cube that imprisoned them as well.

"Different races, yet they help each other." Jinwu was somewhat surprised. The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, Er Gou, and Su Ping were clearly not of the same race, yet they were able to risk their lives to help each other, which it found incredible.

In its understanding, this was something that was unlikely to happen.

Even people of the same race will kill each other, let alone help each other from different races.

On the ground, the purple-green python was scalded to death by the surrounding high temperature, and Su Ping revived it.

The newly resurrected Purple-Green Python was full of energy. Upon seeing the imprisoned Su Ping, it immediately swept up the boulders on the surrounding ground and shot them toward the Golden Crow.

A hint of contempt flashed in the Golden Crow's eyes. It had an innate disdain for this strip-shaped creature and a desire to kill it.

However, it guessed that this thing was probably difficult to kill.

With a whoosh, the purple-green python on the ground suddenly flashed in front of the golden crow.

The Purple-Green Python was clearly stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to be so close to the enemy all of a sudden. But soon, the divine and demonic pressure emanating from the Golden Crow made it tremble, losing all will to fight. It curled up in the void, shivering, its scales trembling all over.

A golden cube enveloped it; the golden crow did not kill it, but rather imprisoned it as well.

"You strange fellows, come back with me to see the elder."

The clear, crisp voice of the golden crow appeared in Su Ping's mind. It glanced at Su Ping, then turned and spread its wings to fly forward.

Imprisoned inside the cube, Su Ping and his several battle pets followed closely behind the Golden Crow, propelled by an invisible force, flying at an extremely high speed.

Su Ping's eyes flickered as he hesitated between escaping by committing suicide and randomly resurrecting, or wasting a day going to the Golden Crow Clan's lair.

Fortunately, he only purchased one day's worth of time this time, so even if he was imprisoned by the Golden Crow Clan, he would only waste one day.

He feared that the top beings of the Golden Crow clan would discover his strange resurrection ability and use him as a guinea pig for analysis.

"System, is your resurrection ability okay? Could it be cracked?" Su Ping asked in his mind.

In any other world, Su Ping wouldn't have such worries, but the Golden Crow Gods and Demons here are among the most ancient creatures in the world. Su Ping couldn't even imagine what level of cultivation the top Golden Crow experts among them would possess.

"Don't worry, as long as I have enough energy, no one can stop me from reviving you," the system said calmly.

Hearing its relaxed tone, Su Ping felt slightly relieved, but still said with concern, "Think it through before you speak. Don't act tough. After all, if a host as handsome as me dies, there won't be another one. If you find an ugly man, he'll be sick of looking at you every day."

"If you die, I'll go find a beautiful woman. Why would I want to find an ugly man?" the system retorted.

Su Ping's face turned green, and he said, "So, there's a real possibility that I might actually die?"

"You're overthinking it," the system said irritably.

Su Ping muttered to himself, no longer in the mood to argue with it. At this point, he could only trust the system's abilities.

Although suicide would allow him to escape, he escaped, but Er Gou and the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast could not. Su Ping could not order them to commit suicide because of the pet contract. The master can order the battle pet to fight to the death, and even if he knows it is dangerous, he can still order the battle pet to attack, but he cannot order the battle pet to commit suicide and self-destruct!

If he commits suicide to escape, and Er Gou and the others are still alive and taken to the Golden Crow Clan, they will be stranded here indefinitely when Su Ping returns after the breeding period ends and they are no longer in the pet space.

Su Ping has already lost the little skeletons; he can't afford to lose them too.

Even if you're imprisoned and tormented the whole time you go to the Golden Crow's lair, it's just a wasted trip and a waste of a ticket.

……

Whoosh!

The scenery on the ground flashed by.

Su Ping saw various magma pits and fiery lakes. The golden crow was flying at an extremely fast speed, even dozens of times the speed of sound. If it weren't for the golden cube enveloping Su Ping, he felt that the tearing gale brought by the speed of flight would have been enough to make him extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, the wind on the Chaotic Heavenly Sun Star was incredibly hot.

He felt like he was about to spark!

"How many members does your Golden Crow clan have?" Su Ping, who was being dragged into the golden cube, looked at the scenery below with boredom and chatted with the Golden Crow to get information out of it.

The golden crow ignored Su Ping, spread its wings and flew towards him, occasionally letting out a cry.

"What rank do you hold in your Golden Crow clan?" Su Ping asked again.

The golden crow remained silent.

"Someone as beautiful as you must be a rare sight in your Golden Crow clan, right?"

"It's not just few, it's absolutely unique," the Golden Crow finally spoke, its voice filled with arrogance.

"I don't believe it," Su Ping said directly.

Without a doubt, these three words directly enraged Jinwu.

But Jinwu knew he couldn't kill Su Ping, so he just let out a heavy snort.

Su Ping had no intention of giving up on the "communication," and said, "Everyone says that the Golden Crow is born of nature, so does that mean you all have no parents?"

"..."

Jinwu turned and glared at him angrily.

Su Ping didn't care. He had tried to flatter him before, but it had no effect. Since the fundamental problem of violating the rules in cultivating the Golden Crow Divine Demon Body had not been resolved, no amount of flattery would help.

"By the way, why do you make a sound every now and then when you're flying?" Su Ping asked again.

"What's it to you?" Jinwu said angrily.

……

……

After a friendly exchange and childlike exploration, the Golden Crow's flight speed suddenly slowed down. At the same time, Su Ping suddenly felt the surrounding temperature rise sharply. Even inside the golden cube, he could feel waves of heat seeping in from outside the confinement technique.

The world around us has long since turned a deep reddish-gold color.

Ahead stood an enormous ancient tree.

This ancient tree is incredibly large, standing tall on this ancient planet.

Surrounding this ancient tree were streaks of golden light, which upon closer inspection revealed to be enormous golden crows.

These golden crows, which are tens of thousands of miles in size and blot out the sky, are only the size of a leaf in front of this ancient tree. A large number of golden crows shuttle through the ancient tree, and some stop on the leaves.

Su Ping's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock.

He had seen many enormous creatures in other breeding grounds, and even some incredibly large skeletons of giant beasts!

But the ancient tree before him, and the golden crow on it, filled Su Ping with a breathtaking awe.

Each golden crow was enormous; a single feather could cover an aircraft carrier! These enormous golden crows circled the ancient tree, flying around it like guardians.

It took Su Ping a full hour to fly from when he first saw the ancient tree to its base. Despite the countless dust particles and distorted air currents from the scorching heat affecting his vision, Su Ping could still glimpse the ancient tree that stretched straight to the sky from an hour's distance away from the Golden Crow.

From a distance, the canopy of the ancient tree seems to rise almost beyond the planet's atmosphere!

"Is this the habitat of your Golden Crows?" Su Ping couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing Su Ping's shocked words, Jinwu glanced at him and said smugly, "This is the ancestral land of our Jinwu clan. It is an honor for you, such a strange creature, to be here."

Su Ping ignored its sarcasm and looked around at the golden crows.

Some of the golden crows patrolling outside the ancient tree flew closer. Su Ping could feel that the feathers of the golden crow in front of him were being whipped by the huge wind. Compared with the patrolling golden crows, this golden crow was just a small sparrow, so small that it was only the size of a single feather. It was incomparable.
