Chapter 610: Ripple Lady Planet Master
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
A nearby maid said, "Master, I once heard that Xue Ying is collecting many precious materials, and have also heard that he wanted a Sun Star Nucleus Stone. Now that he's come to visit master, it ought to be that he's collected all the precious materials, and will be requesting master's help to refine a Sun Star Nucleus Stone."
Ripple Lady Planet Master looked outside; her gaze passed through the obstruction of space, landing on the black-clothed male in the midst of void outside the planet.
"Dong Bo Xue Ying?" Ripple Lady Planet Master faintly pondered, "The talent who was the fastest to cultivate to the stage three realm in the Deity world and Abyss? Let's meet him first. Go bring him in."
"Yes." The white-robed old man respectfully said.
There was still a little thing that Ripple Lady Planet Master hadn't told her subordinate. This 'Xue Ying' was one of the two people in the entire Cosmos that were members of the Destruction Legion, and Ripple Lady Planet Master felt that this kind of person would be able to transcend. Thus, he was someone worth meeting.
******
Within space.
"Please follow me in, and do not rush around." The white-robed old man led the way.
"Yes."
Xue Ying followed behind him and soon arrived onto the planet.
This cold planet was too desolate. In the distance, one could see deep blue flames burning, areas enshrouded in fog and black lakes… Peculiar areas were everywhere, and most of them were important facilities for refinement. Empress Qian He personally constructed some of the important facilities. Over here, danger lurked in every corner.
There was a building that occupied merely 5,000 kilometers. It was too small for someone with the identity as a Paragon.
There were creatures, Deities, and World Deities living here and obeying the orders of Ripple Lady Planet Master
"Come this way." The white-robed old man continued to guide him.
Finally, Xue Ying saw a snowy white-robed woman lying on a large soft leaf in front of him. The woman was reading the book in her hands barefooted with two pretty maids serving her.
"Greetings, Ripple Lady Planet Master." Xue Ying naturally recognized the other.
"Dong Bo Xue Ying?" Ripple Lady Planet Master raised her head and glanced at him, "Could it be that you don't know that Empress Qian He, the Myriad God Palace Master, and the Temporal Island Master had recently joined hands to fight a battle with Ruler Nile and your master, the Bloodshed God Emperor? Your teacher has suffered great losses."
Although tens of thousands of years had passed.
But with regards to Rulers, it truly was 'recent enough'.
"Ah." Xue Ying was stunned, he had indeed not known about the matter. During the Myriad Flower Feast, hadn't Empress Qian He returned his teacher's praises?
"Hmph Hmph, you truly didn't know." Ripple Lady Planet Master immediately said, "Coming to meet me, should be for a Sun Star Nucleus Stone?"
Xue Ying went straight to the point with a nod: "Exactly. I've already prepared the Void Black Soil as well as twelve kinds of precious materials
Ripple Lady Planet Master looked at him: "To smelt and refine is extremely difficult, you thought that I would agree? What do you have that's worth me putting forth this condition?"
Xue Ying's complexion did not change: "No matter what, I must try a little. If nothing could be done, I will turn and leave."
"A 500-gram Sun Star Nucleus Stone?"
Ripple Lady Planet Master softly said, "It isn't impossible to request my help, you must agree to three requests."
"Please say." Xue Ying said.
The other could make requests as they wished, but whether or not he agreed was ultimately his own decision.
"First, let one of my disciples learn the upper half of your "Blood Demon Scripture"." Ripple Lady Planet Master said. The original copy of absolute arts was scarce. Although she had become a Paragon, she did not own an original copy of absolute art.
"This isn't too difficult." Xue Ying said.
"Secondly…"
Ripple Lady Planet Master waved her hand, and a gray light flew towards Xue Ying. Xue Ying grasped it with his hand. In his hands, there was a tattered cloth scroll.
"This is a damaged Formation Array." Ripple Lady Planet Master said, "I've heard that you excel in the profound mysteries of the world, and I hope that you can help repair this array formation. As for the deadline, it's not too urgent for me. A stage four World Deity has a lifespan of 10 billion years. Then I will give you a deadline of 10 billion years! Help me repair this array formation within a span of 10 billion years. If you are unable to repair it… then when the time comes, return the Sun Star Nucleus Stone to me."
Hearing the deadline of 10 billion years, Xue Ying felt his heart relax, but if he failed to repair it, the Sun Star Nucleus Stone would have to be returned to the Ripple Lady Planet Master.
Xue Ying immediately looked down at the tattered cloth scroll in his hand
On the clothed scroll was a broken array formation.
When he looked at the formation array, immersing himself within it–
Xue Ying felt that the things before him began to become vague and fuzzy, and gradually became as if he had entered a vast world. This world was mostly intact, but some portions were shattered. Even the dome of the sky was crumbling and becoming grey mist.
Flames blazed within the broken world–great and overbearing. It gave off a feeling far more potent than what Xue Ying felt coming from the Paragon Huo Cheng.
"Was this shattered array formation found from a historical remain?" Xue Ying asked.
"The Empress gave it, and I do not know where it came from." Ripple Lady Planet Master said, "Do you agree to the second condition?"
Xue Ying asked: "Then what about the third condition?"
"The third condition… I still haven't thought of it yet." Ripple Lady Planet Master said, "How about this, for the third condition, you owe me a favor."
"A favor?" Xue Ying hesitated.
A favor could be large or small.
"Don't worry. I will not be too demanding. If my request is too excessive, you can always decline." Ripple Lady Planet Master said.
"I don't need to be bound by an oath?" Xue Ying asked.
"I believe you." Ripple Lady Planet Master said. From the information she had regarding Xue Ying, she had long since judged that this was a person that valued emotion and justice, and someone whose promise was worth a thousand in gold. He was not like those crafty demons of the Dark Abyss and was not like her Empress who would betray someone in an instant. Xue Ying was one of those who deserved to be trusted.
Ripple Lady Planet Master's final condition was only casually brought up.
If Xue Ying's strength later surged into the heavens, then this condition would be a significant gain.
If Xue Ying's power were not enough, then it would be like this negotiation hadn't been done.
"Three requests, correct?" Xue Ying asked, "As long as I agree, you will help me refine a Sun Star Nucleus Stone?"
Ripple Lady Planet Master nodded: "Xue Ying, I must inform you that refining it is something incredibly complicated and one cannot be the slightest bit careless, and once one is careless they will fail. Therefore, you must give me more Void Black Soil, only six million kilograms of Void Black Soil. The entire refining process will take at least 500,000 years. When I succeed, I will inform you.
"Alright." Xue Ying nodded, "I agree with your three requests. Is it a deal?"
"It's a deal." Ripple Lady Planet Master smiled.
She felt that the youthful Xue Ying who was part of the Destruction Legion along with Pang Yi, who had broken cultivation records was worth her spending some time for.
...
Both sides settled the discussion.
Xue Ying left behind six million kilograms of Void Black Soil as well as all 12 kinds of precious materials, took the tattered cloth scroll and left the Ripple Lady Planet.
Standing at the head of the Starfield Flying Ship that was tearing through the midst of a space-time tunnel, Xue Ying's mood was excellent.
'Spending 60,000 years of time, and also having to repair an ancient broken array fragment, as well as promising a favor, everything is at long last settled.'
Xue Ying let out a smile. To repay Forefather Scarlet Flame's kindness, he did not have the slightest hesitation to do all these.
'I am somewhat lucky to succeed in this endeavor. Ripple Lady Planet Master has agreed to help me. Although there are several conditions, it is quite rare for her to accept me." Xue Ying beamed.
