Chapter 564: The Nation of a Thousand Islands! The Golden Alliance's Move!
Chapter 564: The Nation of a Thousand Islands! The Golden Alliance's Move!
Little Fire Sprout's current cultivation level is barely at the peak of the middle Monarch stage.
In fact, this speed is genuinely not considered slow.
It could even be said that it's incredibly fast, especially considering that Little Fire Sprout's growth hasn't involved any evolution at all. From start to finish, it has been purely through its own self-improvement.
Evolution is the quickest way for a companion beast to surpass major cultivation barriers in the early stages.
However, Little Fire Sprout has never evolved, and yet it has reached such a high level purely by devouring other Flame Sovereign incarnations and, most importantly, by being carried by Su Ping.
As Su Ping's companion beast, after forming a soul contract connection, the terrifying feedback from Su Ping's skyrocketing cultivation level has caused Little Fire Sprout's cultivation to increase at an incredibly rapid pace.
But even so, there is a limit to this.
Moreover, the Flame Sovereign incarnation is not just about accelerating Little Fire Sprout's cultivation; more importantly, it's about the memories and the incredibly precious inheritance of the Flame Sovereign.
From the Flame Sovereign's inheritance, he has already obtained countless treasures.
The initial model of the Flame Heart, the second model of the Flame Heart, numerous elixir formulas, several lost fire-type skills, and a method for setting up a fire-type spirit land.
All of these were obtained from the Flame Sovereign's memories.
As a legendary peak-level existence and the so-called Fire Supreme, the Ten Thousand Birds Totem, it's natural that there would be more than just these items.
Su Ping wants to see if this Flame Sovereign has any other good things.
For example, some lost super-tier fire-type skills! There's no doubt that there are some.
So, without even thinking about it, Su Ping nodded:
"Where is the location of the island? Is it related to the Nation of a Thousand Islands?"
The Southern Sea?
Su Ping has never been there.
The location of the Southern Sea is indeed too far from the Dragon Nation.
It is located in the region of the Nation of a Thousand Islands, also known as the Endless Seas.
The so-called Nation of a Thousand Islands is a nation created by countless human beastmasters in that area.
However, in reality, there isn't even a single clear leader in charge.
In most cases, each island governs itself, and they only unite when facing external enemies.
At the same time, there are intricate connections with the various beast empires beneath the Endless Seas.
This situation makes that area extremely chaotic, and the mutual slaughter among them is countless times more severe than that between nations.
Moreover, it's a place where the strong rule and the weak are prey.
Although the position mentioned by the Naga Princess might not be in the Southern Sea,
it might not be in the Nation of a Thousand Islands, nor might it be completely within the Endless Seas.
However, it must be said that going to such a place is extremely dangerous for Su Ping.
But he can't afford to give up on the Flame Sovereign incarnation.
He must go, and he has to go.
"Rest assured, I understand your concerns. If those Flame Sovereign incarnations were in the core circle of the Nation of a Thousand Islands, they would have been discovered long ago.
The reason they haven't been found is that the island is extremely far away, and entering it is somewhat troublesome and quite dangerous.
So, that place won't be easily discovered. Of course, it's been half a month since the original body discovered it, and the current situation is unknown."
Listening to the Naga Princess, the Water Sovereign, Su Ping nodded:
"Since that's the case, let's set off immediately!"
The Naga Princess glanced at Su Ping with a teasing look:
"Kid, are you just going to follow me like this?"
Su Ping shrugged: "What else can I do? My time is still very tight, and I don't have the leisure to wait for Saint Dragon. Besides, if I bothered him for every little thing, I'd be too pathetic!"
Su Ping still firmly believes that this Water Sovereign incarnation won't harm him.
The situation with the Naga Princess is indeed as she described.
Moreover, if anything happens to him, she won't be able to escape the consequences.
At the same time, Su Ping is also absolutely confident in his strength and hidden cards.
After thinking about it, Su Ping added:
"Going there is not a problem, but it's better to keep a low profile and not make a big fuss about it."
He has no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of the Nation of a Thousand Islands or the Endless Seas; he just wants to take the Flame Sovereign incarnation away.
The Naga Princess thought for a moment and said:
"That's good! Since that's the case, let's go there secretly."
"Now, there's only one last question left! That is, can we return within three days?
Su Ping was pressed for time.
Aside from his meticulously planned cultivation schedule, the most crucial event this month was his participation in the Beastmaster Tournament, which was to be held on New Year's Day.
This year's Beastmaster Tournament had a slight twist.
Instead of being held in the Imperial Capital or the Magic City, it was taking place in his hometown!
Yes, right here in Jianghai, in Linzhou!
This explained why Su Ping hadn't seen Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai since his return.
The tournament's venue was chosen to be Linzhou, and these two, responsible for its organization, were undoubtedly overwhelmed with work.
This was the event of the year.
More importantly, it was only due to Su Ping's influence that Linzhou and Jianghai had the honor of hosting such an event.
They were well aware of this.
And because of this, they couldn't afford any slip-ups.
The Beastmaster Tournament had to be a success.
Additionally, Su Ping himself was expected to participate as a judge, as previously agreed.
Time was tight; today was already December 10th, and his schedule included a trip to the South Sea for the Rainbow Dragon's cultivation and, most importantly, the cultivation of the Sea King Naga's arm.
Hearing Su Ping's concerns, Jiao Ji revealed a proud and confident smile. "Young man, you underestimate the power of a legendary being. Don't think that only those mechanical companions created by humans can achieve extreme speeds. Here on Bluesphere, as long as there's water connecting us, there's no one faster than me and my true form."
"If it's just about speed, there's absolutely no problem, unless some other issue arises."
Such arrogance finally matched Su Ping's expectations of a legendary being.
And because of this, Su Ping nodded. "Good! Let's not waste time, let's go! I want to see your skills, Senior!"
"Okay, but don't you need to inform the others?"
Su Ping thought for a moment and nodded.
...
Just as Su Ping was about to leave the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits again, at that very moment, on the other side of Linzhou, someone else was facing a difficult decision.
In the Pingyun Group's office, Dong Muyun's brows were tightly knit.
"Sir!"
Dong Muyun opened the electronic screen and saw a face on the video call, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong? I just got back with Su Ping, and now there's a problem on your end?"
Dong Muyun's brows relaxed. "Su Ping is back? Is he okay?"
This work is uploaded by Liushujiu Book Bar~~
Wu Kuang chuckled. "Hmph, not only is he okay, but he's better than ever! He's become the youngest Imperial Rank Beastmaster in nearly a century! His companion beast has achieved Holy Rank combat power, and the Divine Dragon has officially appointed him as the Vice President of the Beastmaster Association! Moreover, he's the kind of Vice President with full authority!"
"In theory, from now on, I have to obey his commands. Isn't he amazing?"
"Huh?"
Dong Muyun was prepared, but she hadn't expected such an exaggeration. After all these years in the business world, she couldn't believe that the little brat she knew had achieved this in less than two years.
Does this make sense?
Fortunately, Dong Muyun snapped out of her daze, and Wu Kuang didn't forget the matter at hand. "Alright, if you have time, go and ask him about his situation. Your relationship won't allow him to hide anything from you! Now, let's talk about your situation; that's our priority."
Dong Muyun quickly regained her composure and was about to speak, but Wu Kuang stopped her.
"Wait, let's check first!"
Dong Muyun took out a familiar scanner and scanned the office. Finding no abnormalities, she nodded. "Everything is fine, Holy Saint!"
Wu Kuang nodded.
"It seems that after you checked last time and found some recording equipment, and cleaned out some of the company's people, they've become more obedient."
"Thank you, Holy Saint, for helping me find those worms."
"Let's get back to business."
Dong Muyun turned serious. "Senior, this morning, the Yan Dong from Fire King Corporation invited me to the Glass Island in the Thousand Islands Nation, along with the Golden Alliance, to discuss selling Pingyun Group's products there."
"Oh?
These guys finally couldn't hold back and want to take you and Ping Yun away from the country?"
Wu Kuang was deep in thought as he watched the video.
Dong Mu Yun also pursed her lips, feeling a bit tense.
Wu Kuang glanced at Dong Mu Yun:
"About the last matter, what did those guys say?"
Dong Mu Yun shook her head:
"I've already met with the Vice President of the Golden Alliance, and just as you suspected, it's the Chairman of Qi Lu Province, Shen Qiu!
But when I asked to meet the President of the Golden Alliance, they didn't agree! They didn't even give the slightest hint of information! They're very well hidden!"
Wu Kuang nodded:
"It's quite interesting. It seems the President of the Golden Alliance, who they're keeping hidden, is quite a remarkable figure.
But it makes sense, considering the extent of their secret schemes, even involving the Eagle Nation, with their reach extending throughout the world, including the Dragon Nation. As a place where they can't exert their influence, we should indeed be prepared. Tell me your thoughts. About this Thousand Islands Nation, do you think we should go?"
He shifted the topic back to Dong Mu Yun.
Dong Mu Yun clenched her teeth and spoke up:
"Reporting to the Holy Saint, I think we should go!"
"Oh? Elaborate on your thoughts."
"I believe that based on the previous information, as long as I don't go to the Eagle Nation or the Cherry Blossom Nation, the Golden Heart won't do anything.
This time, the Golden Alliance's purpose, as I suspected, is likely just to expand Ping Yun's business.
At the same time, they might also want to flex their muscles and demonstrate the strength of the Golden Alliance, making me more certain about joining them.
It will also prepare Ping Yun for joining the Golden Heart in the future!"
Dong Mu Yun spoke confidently.
With the help of the Golden Alliance, Ping Yun's sales in the country have become completely problem-free.
In just half a year, the expansion has been unimaginable.
Relying on those unique products, Ping Yun has become one of the top companies in the Dragon Nation.
And most importantly, it's the Dream Heart.
With the Beast Tamer Association's improvements to mechanical companion beasts, the prices of mechanical-type companion beasts are steadily decreasing.
Additionally, the first batch of low-value Dream Hearts will soon be on the market.
Of course, to compensate those who purchased at high prices, Ping Yun and Fei Fei have offered some high-level rare outfits to players within the Dream Heart.
Ping Yun's value is indeed extraordinary now.
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense!"
Wu Kuang nodded, not offering any comments, but instead falling back into deep thought.
Dong Mu Yun did the same, her brows slightly furrowed. After less than half a minute, she spoke up:
"Holy Saint, please forgive me, but I still want to ask, aside from you, who else knows about Su Ping successfully leaving the Heavenly Tomb and becoming the Vice President of the Beast Tamer Association?"
As she spoke, Wu Kuang's electronic eyes shone with a stream of data, and he looked at Dong Mu Yun in the video with deep meaning:
"It's good that you thought of this! I'm also suspicious!
The Golden Alliance is so quick to let you leave the Dragon Nation, and they're accelerating their involvement with the Golden Heart. I wonder if this is related to Su Ping's promotion!
Su Ping's current status and identity are extraordinary, and Ping Yun, as Su Ping's company, has unparalleled future potential in the Dragon Nation, even if its current income and profits aren't the highest.
The reason they're hurrying might be that they've received the news very quickly! But the question is, who got the news first?
Only we, the Holy Rank existences of the Dragon Nation, and some of the Beast Tamer Association's cultivators, might have a connection with the Golden Alliance. But who among them would have such a relationship?"
Wu Kuang's brows furrowed slightly.
Although Saint Dragon hadn't mentioned taking action against the Golden Alliance, the Golden Heart, as an organization from another realm, was already suspicious for having ambiguous ties with domestic organizations.
It would be abnormal for someone in their position not to know about such connections.
However, at this moment, even the two of them couldn't guess.
After some thought, Wu Kuang spoke up:
"Since that's the case, just agree to their request! I'll go and report to Saint Dragon. By the way, when are you planning to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning, using the Golden Alliance's private plane!"
