Chapter 187: Valkyrie, the Mass Begins (Seeking Subscriptions)

Those who touch the weapon pool will become unfortunate!

Su Ping had often heard this piece of advice when drawing cards before he transmigrated.

Now, practice has proven that this advice is not empty words.

By timing his draws to the last few seconds before the refresh, Su Ping managed to pull the weapon card pack twenty times in a row.

The result was eighteen pieces of common quality and two pieces of rare quality equipment that were of no use.

Refined Iron Spear, Bronze Greatsword, Silver-plated Magic Ring...

Aside from being slightly sturdier, these common quality weapons and equipment were no different from those produced on normal Water Blue Star.

As for the two rare pieces of equipment, one was a Cold Wind Spear, and the other was a Rock Tower Shield.

Su Ping's current companions had no way to equip them to activate the attribute bonuses of these special items.

Exorcist Mage Yunkong used a one-handed sword, Fire Knight Alwin used a greatsword, and Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura used a Dharma Artifact.

Su Ping could use them himself, but he could only manifest the basic capabilities of these items, such as sturdiness or sharpness.

He likewise could not obtain any attribute or special skill bonuses.

"Twenty pulls and not a single usable one..."

"I really did encounter misfortune!"

"However, since the weapon card pool is so unfortunate, according to the law of conservation of luck, the other card packs should be lucky, right?"

Su Ping stuffed all these weapons and equipment into the warehouse of Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

Immediately, after closing his eyes and sealing his senses, he began one ten-pull after another.

After repeating this five times, Su Ping opened his eyes, recovered his five senses, and looked at the harvest from these fifty draws.

At first glance, Su Ping saw two streaks of Golden Light and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

With two rare pulls, counting the weapon card pool, today wasn't a loss!

The first Golden Light was Fire Knight Alwin!

This allowed Alwin to advance from an Apprentice Knight to a Formal Knight; in addition to an increase in all attributes, he gained a new skill: Fire Phoenix Prairie Fire!

This counted as a specialized area-of-effect ultimate move, capable of condensing all the fire power of the Fire Knight into an elemental fire phoenix with a wingspan of at least one hundred meters.

This greatly increased Fire Knight Alwin's offensive capabilities.

Su Ping looked at the other Golden Light.

It was actually a new rare companion:

【Apprentice Valkyrie (Space Valkyrie), Companion, Quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Heaven, upgradable】

【Rare Description: This Valkyrie can summon a Space Storm and possesses the talent to manipulate space】

A young girl with snow-white hair draped over her shoulders, blood-red gemstone eyes, a dignified expression, and a slender figure, wearing magnificent, peerless battle armor, appeared by sitting diagonally in mid-air.

She rested her right cheek on her right hand, which was covered in a pristine white glove, and looked at Su Ping, this Cave Heaven Master, with an indifferent expression.

"Lord Cave Heaven Master, Valkyrie Kong reports to you..."

"You are very lucky; I am one of the strongest Valkyries. With my loyalty, your journey will no longer have any obstacles!"

The Valkyrie issued her declaration.

Su Ping believed this to some extent.

After finishing the information on this Valkyrie Kong.

Su Ping discovered that this rare companion belonged to the strongest batch among extractable companions; she was only rated as rare because she was in her apprenticeship period.

Once she became a formal Valkyrie, her rating would rise to Peerless!

Recently, while fishing, Su Ping had long since saved a rare catch from a Second-tier Fishing Spot.

This time, he had pulled a powerful companion.

Added to the Experience Books that appeared after the Travel Shop upgraded, as well as the ones he still had plenty of from the last normal Abyss Challenge.

War Valkyrie Kong directly broke through to the Second Tier realm, equivalent to Foundation Establishment.

"Ha! You're quite capable, Lord Cave Master; you won't regret your choice."

Valkyrie Kong felt the increase in her power and teleported in front of Su Ping.

Afterward, she demonstrated the abilities she had mastered to Su Ping.

As a Valkyrie with the authority over space, teleportation was just a basic operation; at Second Tier strength, Valkyrie Kong could move a distance of one thousand meters with each teleport.

At the same time, she mastered the ability to accurately teleport parts of space from a thousand meters away.

With proper operation, this ability could be used for many special combat methods.

As for that ultimate move, summoning a Space Storm.

It was a move where Valkyrie Kong could consume all her remaining Dharma Power to summon Space Turbulence to descend upon a certain location.

In the Cultivation World, this kind of Space Turbulence was equivalent to a Forbidden Technique that only those with the extremely rare Space Spirit Root could master.

Ordinary Dharma Artifacts and Talismans basically had no defensive reaction to this kind of special attack.

If used for a sneak attack, Su Ping believed the effect would definitely be excellent!

Valkyrie Kong had average interest in gourmet food and various entertainment toys.

But she had a special fondness for fighting.

When Su Ping personally engaged in combat with her.

Without relying on the bonuses of Array Tools or Spirit Tools, he only relied on his Immortal Body to fight her to a draw.

It was mainly because her Space Talent was truly a bit unfair.

Without means to seal space, it was very difficult to severely injure her.

And her space power, whether it was the Space Blade or Fixed-point Space Destruction.

Could pose a threat to Su Ping, forcing him to burst with speed to avoid her attacks in advance.

This also allowed Su Ping's combat intuition and evasion ability to be improved.

And after being exhausted one afternoon.

When he took a Cultivation Pill to meditate and recover his Dharma Power, he suddenly felt a sensation in his heart.

He immediately took out a precious Pill for breaking through from his Storage Spirit Tool.

After swallowing one, he seemed unsatisfied, so he took out another and consumed it.

Afterwards, he felt his whole body begin to burn.

Su Ping immediately took a drop of Purification Potion to clear away the hidden dangers caused by his recent consumption of pills.

Then, with the aid of the medicinal power, after breaking through layers of obstacles.

Hum!

A faint blue light emerged from Su Ping's body.

A delicate fragrance permeated the entire mountain peak where Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion was located, following the halo.

The next moment, Su Ping floated cross-legged on the bed, stretching his body to feel the difference after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.

As a minor realm of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Compared to before the breakthrough in the early stage, the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage provided an increase of about one-third to his liquid Dharma Power limit.

His Divine Sense did not increase immediately, but he could clearly feel that it would slowly improve following his cultivation.

In addition, the bottleneck of his supernatural ability had been greatly improved.

After the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, the maximum number of Su Ping's Supernatural Arms was nine hundred.

After the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, it finally broke through the four-digit mark to one thousand five hundred.

By the time he reaches the Foundation Establishment Late Stage to Perfection, the strength of his supernatural ability will also increase significantly.

However, Foundation Establishment will still be trapped within the thousand-arm range.

To reach ten thousand arms, one must achieve Great Success in the supernatural ability; according to the common sense of the Cultivation World, at this time, one would generally at least need to be a Golden Core Great Ability.

However.

From that Magic Art of Refining the Heart with Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Su Ping saw a path that did not follow common sense.

Being able to achieve Great Success in a supernatural ability before Golden Core... this seems to be a plot point only for those peerless geniuses described in Immortal Sect novels.

Ordinary Immortal Sect geniuses do not have this treatment; at the very least, one must be a peerless figure who suppresses an era, like Chiyuan Xianren.

"Perhaps I can return to Water Blue Star early to test the feasibility of this path?"

Thinking of this, Su Ping also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

It is not to be blamed that he was eager to enhance himself even though he already had the Fishing System.

It is truly because, during this period, the changes in the Cultivation World have been visibly worsening faster and faster.

No one can say how much time is left for him to cultivate in the future.

And once it truly comes to the point where he has to run away.

Although he says he doesn't care about subsequent cultivation.

But if the Cultivation World is truly gone.

If he can only hole up back on Water Blue Star to be a Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core practitioner... yet cannot attain Changsheng, how could he possibly be content?

…………

Water Blue Star, Bangzi Country.

The largest venue in the Capital District has suddenly become popular recently.

It is because the Morning Star Church, which has emerged abruptly in these few months, announced that it would hold a large-scale mass in this venue.

Making this venue instantly the focus of massive media attention.

Even immediately, a large number of wealthy people sent private messages, wanting to obtain participation qualifications or corresponding channels.

Scalpers were even more eager, preparing to make a big profit.

As a result, as the detailed instructions were announced.

People from all sides were somewhat disappointed.

The large-scale mass held by the Morning Star Church only allowed devout believers to participate.

In order to prevent a large number of strangers from suddenly becoming devout believers.

That Sect Leader Li Yongxiu directly drew a line, only allowing the selection of on-site participants from the group of people who had been certified as excellent believers a month ago.

As for the number of participants, this event venue can accommodate over one hundred thousand people to hold activities at the same time.

The number of applicants was far greater than this.

Don't look at the fact that the Morning Star Church is not yet in the top three large churches in Bangzi Country because its development time is too short.

But because of their unique extraordinary performances and official certification.

The number of believers had long since exceeded one million, and the quality of the believers was high enough to make their competitors shed tears of jealousy and envy.

On the day the mass was held.

All violent departments in the Capital District of Bangzi Country entered overtime mode.

There were even special service teams occupying high positions to prevent accidents.

After all, the appearance of the Morning Star Church had truly greatly damaged the interests of other sects.

Even if the high-level members of these sects knew that the Morning Star Church was backed by the extraordinary and would tend to bow their heads and compromise.

But these sects that started up by various means.

All faced a big problem.

That is, when the cake is not enough to go around.

Whoever is at the top, what they say doesn't count.

In the lower-middle levels and even various branch organizations, it is very easy for phenomena of acting independently to occur, and no one can guarantee whether there might truly be fanatics among them who, upon seeing the sect's interests harmed, would suddenly have a hot-headed impulse to seek revenge.

Before this day, the security departments of Bangzi Country had already arrested several fanatics who attempted to cause sabotage.

After interrogation, they discovered that these fanatics all believed they had heard the whispers of a god in their dreams or during prayer, telling them to stop this mass of the Morning Star Church.

Regarding this, the security department personnel initially truly thought that these sects also had transcendent beings behind them.

This was a transcendent duel!

Later, a psychologist told them that these were typical hallucinations of fanatics.

Commonly seen when external pressure is too great.

And it is not just small sects that are like this; many long-established large sects also have similar cases.

For example, some nuns who do not want to be controlled by their families will, after praying day and night in the prayer room, hallucinate voices from the Virgin Mary supporting their own decisions.

Therefore, even if the high-level members of other sects all expressed their loyalty and stood firmly on the side of the Bangzi Country officials.

They dared not lower their guard, which could lead to vicious incidents...

But the reality was that they were overthinking.

This Morning Star Church mass was not a whim of the Sect Leader Li Yongxiu.

It was a task assigned to them by Su Ping after he appeared as a Ghost God and met with them in the Pot Heaven.

And because of this, on the day the mass was held.

Su Ping also appeared near the venue and inserted one mid-grade Spirit Stone and hundreds of ordinary Spirit Stones, activating the Array centered on this venue.

Under the shroud of the Array.

Those attendees who got off the buses often felt their bodies and minds become much lighter as soon as they stepped off.

The air was also exceptionally sweet!

So much so that when listening to the whispers of these believers, the security personnel of Bangzi Country had strange expressions, first suspecting whether a nearby chemical plant had leaked a large amount of lead into the air.

Not until the environmental test report appeared in their hands, and the front-line personnel also reported the same feelings.

Did these personnel realize that this should be the transcendent power of the Morning Star Church beginning to exert itself.

For this mass, perhaps they could also drive their communication vehicles closer to the venue to soak up some of the benefits?

After Su Ping activated the Array, he appeared directly in the VIP room of the venue.

After using the Invisibility Technique to become a Ghost God invisible to ordinary people.

He used the Secret Language to speak to the somewhat nervous Sect Leader Li Yongxiu.

Immediately, that Sect Leader knew that the Ghost God had arrived and became spirited at once.

And he hurriedly ordered his attendants to provide a large amount of fine wine and delicacies for the VIP room.

He even notified the top chefs at nearby hotels, telling them to immediately, right now, prepare their signature dishes!

And while Su Ping enjoyed the fine wine and delicacies they provided, he also released his Divine Sense to shroud the surroundings, keeping everything under his control.

Several tens of minutes later.

The VIP room.

Sect Leader Li Yongxiu stood humbly to the side, watching as plate after plate of food flew into mid-air and was then eaten by the air.

From the start of the meal service until now, dozens of portions of food had already disappeared.

This also caused the Sect Leader and the pastor on the other side to constantly elevate their guesses regarding the true form of the Ghost God in terms of size.

Yet they did not know that, with the help of the Invisibility Technique, although Su Ping had a large appetite, he did not eat everything.

Anything that did not suit his taste was stuffed into his Storage Bag to be kept, and could be fed to the cats, dogs, or even Da Hei after he returned.

"Your Highness, the time has come; I must go to conduct the mass."

A voice came through the earpiece worn by Sect Leader Li Yongxiu, and then this Sect Leader knelt respectfully to the air and spoke.

And only after receiving permission did he rise and exit the VIP room.

And after leaving the room, he immediately returned to being that mysterious, steady, and cold Sect Leader.

"Hmm?"

"Interesting!"

When the Sect Leader entered the hall that could accommodate 100,000 people and began to hold the ceremony under the lights.

Su Ping felt the intense emotional fluctuations of the 100,000 people in the venue.

Under the guidance of the Array, this wave of fluctuations turned into waves crashing toward him.

This allowed Su Ping to vaguely sense the Subduing Demon Array that purifies Sealed Dharma Artifacts.

It was just that under the Heart Refining Art, he had become that purified Sealed Dharma Artifact.

At the same time, according to the requirements of the cultivation technique, these emotional fluctuations should have a certain connection to him.

This was also the reason why Su Ping ran over to have the Morning Star Church conduct this kind of collective activity.

After slightly adapting to the current intensity of the emotional fluctuation wash.

Su Ping used the Secret Language to tell the Sect Leader to proceed to the next stage.

Thus, as the Sect Leader knelt on the ground and spread his hands to the limit to call upon the angels.

Su Ping activated his divine ability.

A searing white, holy light emerged from the Sect Leader's body, illuminating the entire venue in the blink of an eye.

Causing the surrounding lights to dim involuntarily.

Yet... to the 100,000 believers, this white light, which should have been blinding, caused not the slightest discomfort.

Instead, some believers felt warmth under the white light...

And they indeed did not feel wrong.

The air conditioning in the venue was very strong.

So, the white light Su Ping created using the Array, combined with a little warm breeze, naturally made them feel warmth!

I haven't been feeling well these past few days, please forgive the poor update schedule... -_-||
