Chapter 564: The Thousand Islands Archipelago! The Golden Guild's Actions!
Chapter 564: The Thousand Islands Archipelago! The Golden Guild's Actions!
Little Fireball's current realm is barely at the peak of the Monarch Middle Stage.
In reality, this speed is not considered slow at all.
One could even say it's incredibly fast, especially considering that Little Fireball's growth has never involved evolution. From start to finish, it has solely relied on its own self-improvement.
Evolution is the quickest way for a companion beast to surpass major realm obstacles in the early stages.
However, Little Fireball has never evolved, and yet it has reached such a realm purely by devouring other Fire Sovereign clones and, most importantly, the little creature that Su Ping brought along.
As Su Ping's companion beast, after connecting with the soul contract, the terrifying feedback from Su Ping's skyrocketing realm has significantly accelerated Little Fireball's realm advancement.
But even with this, there is a limit.
Moreover, the Fire Sovereign's clone is not only significant to Su Ping for accelerating Little Fireball's realm advancement but also for the memories and the invaluable inheritance it holds.
From the Fire Sovereign's legacy, Su Ping has already obtained countless treasures.
The Flame Heart Model One, Flame Heart Model Two, numerous potion formulas, several lost fire-type skills, and a method to arrange a fire-type spirit land.
All of these were obtained from the Fire Sovereign's memories.
As a legendary peak existence and the so-called Fire Supreme, the Ten Thousand Bird Totem, it's natural that there would be more than just these treasures.
Su Ping wanted to see if this Fire Sovereign had any other good things.
For example, some lost super-ranked fire-type skills! Without a doubt, there must be some.
So, without much thought, Su Ping nodded and asked, "Where is the location of the island? Is it related to the Thousand Islands Archipelago?"
The South Sea?
Su Ping hadn't been there before.
The location of the South Sea is incredibly distant from the Dragon Nation.
The region where it is located is within the Thousand Islands Archipelago and the Endless Ocean.
The so-called Thousand Islands Archipelago is a nation created by countless human beastmasters,
But in reality, there isn't even a clear and true leader.
In most cases, each island governs itself. Only when facing external enemies do they unite.
At the same time, they have intricate connections with the numerous ferocious beast empires beneath the Endless Ocean.
This situation makes the region extremely chaotic, and the mutual slaughter among them is countless times more severe than that between countries.
Moreover, it is a place where the strong truly reign and the weak are devoured.
Although Jia Ji mentioned that place, it might not be in the South Sea.
It might not be within the Thousand Islands Archipelago, nor might it be entirely within the Endless Ocean.
However, one must admit that going to such a place is extremely dangerous for Su Ping.
But he couldn't afford to give up on the Fire Sovereign's clone.
He must go, and he has no choice but to go.
"Don't worry, I understand your concerns. If those Fire Sovereign clones were in the core circle of the Thousand Islands Archipelago, 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 dangerous.
So, that place won't be easily discovered. Of course, half a month has passed since the original body discovered it, and it doesn't know the current situation."
Hearing the Water Venerable's words, Su Ping nodded, "Since that's the case, let's set off immediately!"
Jia Ji glanced at Su Ping with a mocking look, "Kid, are you just going to follow the Water Venerable like this?"
Su Ping shrugged, "What else can I do? My time is still tight, and I don't have the leisure to wait for the Saint Dragon. Besides, if I bother him with every little thing, I'd be too pathetic!"
Su Ping firmly believed that the Water Venerable's clone wouldn't harm him.
Jia Ji's situation was indeed as she described.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that if something happened to him, she wouldn't be able to escape the consequences.
At the same time, there was another reason: Su Ping had absolute confidence 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 had no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of the Thousand Islands Archipelago or the Endless Ocean; he just wanted to take away the Fire Sovereign's clone.
Jia Ji thought for a moment and said, "Alright! 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 regimen, the most crucial event this month was his participation in the Breeder Tournament on New Year's Day.
This year's tournament had a unique twist; it wasn't held in the imperial capital or the demon capital but in his hometown, Jianghai, in Linzhou.
This explained why Su Ping hadn't seen Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai since his return.
The tournament's location in Linzhou kept Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai extremely busy.
It was a grand event, and Linzhou and Jianghai had only secured this honor due to Su Ping's reputation.
They were well aware of this.
Therefore, they couldn't afford any slip-ups.
The tournament had to be a success.
Additionally, Su Ping was expected to participate as a judge, as previously agreed upon.
Time was of the essence. It was already December 10th, and Su Ping's schedule included the cultivation of the Rainbow Dragon in the South Sea and, most importantly, the cultivation of the Sea King Naga's arm.
Hearing Su Ping's concerns, Jia Ji revealed a proud and confident smile: "Kid, you underestimate the power of a legendary being. Don't think that only those mechanical pets created by humans can achieve extreme speed in water. On Blue Star, I and my original body are the fastest where there is water."
Finally, Su Ping's perception of a legendary being was confirmed by such arrogance.
Su Ping nodded: "Good! Let's not waste time and head out immediately! I want to see the capabilities of the seniors!"
"Okay, but don't you need to inform others?"
Su Ping thought for a moment and nodded.
...
As Su Ping was about to leave the Heart of All Spirits, another person in Linzhou faced a difficult decision.
Pingyun Corporation, inside an office.
Dong Muchun's brows were furrowed.
"Sir!"
On the electronic screen, Dong Muchun saw a face on a video call, filled with hesitation.
"What's wrong? Did something happen as soon as I returned to Su Ping?"
Dong Muchun's brows relaxed: "Su Ping is back? Is he okay?"
Wu Kuang chuckled: "Hmph, not only is he okay, but he's doing better than ever! Now, he's become the youngest Imperial Beastmaster in nearly a century! Moreover, his companion beast has attained Saint Spirit Rank combat power. Not only that, but Saint Dragon has officially appointed him as the Vice President of the Beastmaster Association, a position with full authority!"
"What?"
Although Dong Muchun was prepared, she never expected such an exaggeration. After all these years in the business world, she couldn't believe the former little brat had achieved this in less than two years.
Was this even science?
Fortunately, Dong Muchun's heart, there is a familiar scanner, which is used to scan the office.
After scanning, Dong Muchun nodded:
"All is well, Sage Wu!"
Wu Kuang nodded:
"It seems that when you checked last time, you found some recording equipment, and they have indeed become more honest!"
"Thank you, Sage Wu, for helping me find those worms."
"Let's get back to business!"
Returning to the topic, Dong Muchun's expression turned serious:
"Senior, this morning, Yan Dong from Flame King Corporation invited me to Crystal Island in the Thousand Islands Archipelago, along with the Golden Guild, to discuss selling Pingyun Corporation's distribution channels in the Thousand Islands."
"Oh?"
These guys finally couldn't hold back and want to take you and Pingyun away from the country?"
In the video, Wu Kuang fell into deep thought.
Dong Muchun also pursed her lips, feeling a bit anxious.
Wu Kuang glanced at Dong Muchun:
"About the previous matter, what did those guys say?"
Dong Muchun shook her head:
"I've already met with the vice president of the Golden Guild, and as per your investigation, it's indeed the chairman of Qilu Province, Shen Qiu!
But when I asked to meet the president of the Golden Guild, they didn't agree! They didn't even reveal a single hint! They're extremely secretive!"
Wu Kuang nodded:
"That's interesting. It seems the president they're hiding is an extraordinary figure.
It makes sense, given the many schemes they're involved with behind the scenes, even having connections with the Falcon Kingdom and laying out plans across the world. As a place they can't reach, we in the Dragon Kingdom should indeed be prepared. Tell me your thoughts. Regarding the Thousand Islands Archipelago, do you think we should go?"
His tone shifted, redirecting the question back to Dong Muchun.
Dong Muchun clenched her teeth and spoke directly:
"Your Majesty Wu Kuang, I believe we should go!"
"Oh? Elaborate on your thoughts."
"From the previous information, as long as I don't go to the Falcon Kingdom or the Cherry Kingdom, the Golden Heart shouldn't cause any trouble.
This time, I believe the Golden Guild's purpose, as I mentioned, is genuinely just to expand Pingyun's business!
At the same time, they might also want to flex their muscles and demonstrate the Golden Guild's strength, making me more confident in following the Golden Guild.
It will also prepare Pingyun for joining the Golden Heart in the future!"
Dong Muchun spoke with conviction.
With the Golden Guild's assistance, Pingyun's sales in the country were no longer an issue.
In just half a year, they had expanded at an unimaginable rate.
Relying on those unique products, they had become one of the top companies in the Dragon Kingdom.
And most importantly, there was the Dream Heart.
With the Mechanic Engineers Association's improvements to mechanical companion beasts, the prices for this category were steadily decreasing.
Additionally, the first batch of low-cost Dream Hearts was about to hit the market.
Of course, to compensate those who purchased at high prices, Pingyun and Feifei had offered some advanced and rare costumes to these players within the Dream Heart.
Pingyun's current value was indeed extraordinary.
"Your analysis is very reasonable!"
Wu Kuang nodded but didn't offer any comments, instead falling back into deep thought.
Dong Muchun also remained silent, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. After less than half a minute, she spoke up:
"Your Majesty Wu Kuang, please forgive me, but I still want to ask, aside from you, who else knows about Su Ping's successful departure from the Tomb of Heaven and his appointment as the vice president of the Beast Master Association?"
As soon as these words came out, a stream of data light flashed in Wu Kuang's electronic eyes shone with a burst of data light, and he looked at Dong Muchun in the video with deep meaning:
"It's good that you thought of this! I'm also suspicious!
The Golden Guild's haste in having me leave the Dragon Kingdom and expedite my integration into the Golden Guild and even the Golden Heart, could it be related to Su Ping's promotion!
Currently, Su Ping's status and identity are extraordinary. Pingyun, as Su Ping's company, even though its current income and profits aren't among the top in the Dragon Kingdom, its future potential is unmatched!
The reason for their haste is likely that they received the news very soon! But the question is, who got the news first?
Only we, the Saint Spirit Rank beings of the Dragon Kingdom, and some of the Breeder Association's master breeders. Among them, who would have connections with the Golden Guild?"
Wu Kuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Although Saint Dragon hadn't explicitly mentioned taking action against the Golden Guild, as an organization from another domain, it was somewhat suspicious for them to have ambiguous connections with domestic organizations.
It would be abnormal for such a person to be unaware of this.
However, at this moment, even the two of them couldn't guess.
After some thought, Wu Kuang spoke up:
"Since that's the case, then you should agree to their request! I'll go report to Saint Dragon first. By the way, when are you planning to depart?"
"Tomorrow morning, using the Golden Guild's private jet!"
