When Su Ming saw Flame Fiends' Progenitor reacting this way, he laughed wryly in his heart and intentionally put on an aloof expression before letting out a cold harrumph.
When Flame Fiends' Progenitor heard it and saw Su Ming's icy expression, he immediately felt that everything was normal. Just as he was about to say something, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pointed at him.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor immediately shuddered. Gradually, a large amount of sweat broke out on his body. It was black, and once it seeped out of his body, it swiftly gathered together to turn into a water droplet that was the size of a fist and exuded a foul stench. Once it disappeared before Flame Fiends' Progenitor, an incredibly relaxed feeling rose in his heart.
"The seal has been broken. Huo Kui, don't go to the fifth kiln anymore. If fate wills it, we will meet again in the future. Farewell." Su Ming cast a glance at Flame Fiends' Progenitor again. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
When he turned his head around, he asked, "Where does Zhu You Cai live?"
"In Husband Gazing Mountain," Flame Fiends' Progenitor quickly answered. At that moment, the excitement he felt when he saw Su Ming had already disappeared. The wariness he felt towards Su Ming one hundred years ago along with the strong impression he had of him rose in his mind once more.
Su Ming nodded and cast a glance at Flame Fiends' Progenitor. When he saw the cautious look on his face, a hint of a smile slowly appeared at the corners of his lips. However, he did not know that when Flame Fiends' Progenitor saw it, his heart immediately let out a thump against his chest, and terror instantly filled his heart.
'What's going on? This guy … This guy who kills without batting an eyelid, is ruthless, and calculative actually … actually smiled? Something's off, something's really off!' Flame Fiends' Progenitor became even more cautious, and he instinctively took a few steps back.
"I want to return to True Morning Dao World. Come … with me," Su Ming said flatly. He turned around and no longer bothered about whether Flame Fiends' Progenitor was conflicted or not. He walked towards the galaxy.
By his side, the bald crane let out a fake cough and cast a profound glance at Flame Fiends' Progenitor.
"This is very important. Huo Kui, you have to think about this carefully. Heh heh …" In the end, the bald crane even tried to scare him. It felt that its current state was the most wonderful state it had ever been in in its life. While it tried to scare him, it did not forget to let out a few harrumphs.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor was instantly conflicted. He watched Su Ming leave into the distance, then heard the bald crane's threatening voice. He turned his head around to look at Flame Fiends Planet behind him, and hesitation filled his heart.
He was not worried about his people. With the Flame Fiends' divine abilities, even if he was not around, nothing major would happen in Divine Essence Star Ocean. Instead, if he followed Su Ming, he might be able to obtain a great serendipity.
When Flame Fiends' Progenitor remembered Su Ming's actions on the way one hundred years ago, it immediately gave him confidence. He gritted his teeth, and determination appeared on his face.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor immediately turned his head around and roared at Flame Fiends Star, "If I follow a scheming person like him, at the very least, I won't be at a disadvantage in front of outsiders …"
Immediately, Flame Fiends Planet descended into chaos. Countless Flame Fiends flew up and looked at their Progenitor in the galaxy. There was reluctance in their eyes, but they still knelt down to worship him.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor let out a few more shouts, a clear sign that he was giving orders to his people after he left. Then, under his people's reluctant gazes, he turned his head around and turned into a ball of purple flames that charged forward in the direction Su Ming had left.
…..
Husband Gazing Mountain was a mountain that seemed to exist eternally in the galaxy. Murmurs traveled from the top of the mountain all year round. As the beautiful legends about the mountain spread, the murmurs would always stir up the curiosity of those who came to the mountain.
At that moment, Su Ming stood on a big rock that protruded out from the center of the mountain. Beside him were the bald crane and Flame Fiends' Progenitor. Before him was a dark mountain cave.
"Greetings, senior Chang He," Su Ming said calmly as he wrapped his fist in his palm towards the mountain cave.
The mountain cave was quiet. After a long while, a muffled bang came from within, and an incredibly plump, ferocious, and ugly figure slowly walked out of the mountain cave to appear before Su Ming's eyes.
Zhu You Cai!
His eyes were bloodshot. When he walked out, he stared at Su Ming. There was struggle and madness in his eyes. After some time, his expression slowly calmed down. He sat down limply by the side, and when he lifted his head to look at Su Ming, his expression had already returned to normal.
"You're back," he said faintly.
Su Ming nodded.
"Thank you for helping me in the fifth ocean in the past, senior. About your wife …" When Su Ming said these words, he paused for a moment.
Zhu You Cai's expression was calm. His gaze landed on Su Ming's face as he waited for him to continue.
"When my level of cultivation is high enough and I can activate my own Abyssal World, I will definitely revive her," Su Ming said slowly. He did not have a lot of understanding towards Abyss Builders, but he had a general idea that they had an inborn ability that allowed them to revive the dead. However, the prerequisite for this sort of revival was that they had to activate their own Abyssal World.
Su Ming did not know the specifics, and neither did the Duke of Crimson Flame. However, Su Ming believed that as his level of cultivation increased, there would come a day when he would understand his race's inborn ability.
"Before that, if you trust me, I can open the fifth kiln and have your wife's soul fuse into it so that she can receive its nourishment. This will ensure that her soul will not disappear during this period of time." With sincerity on his face, Su Ming bowed towards Zhu You Cai.
Zhu You Cai was silent. After a long while, he stood up and lifted his head to look at the summit.
After some time, Zhu You Cai asked calmly, "Have you heard of the legend of this mountain?"
"I've heard of it." Su Ming nodded.
"In the past, the woman waited for her husband's return on this mountain. As time passed, she never saw him return. Then, her body turned into a rock, and the presence of her longing … turned into this mountain.
"In the past, when I was in the fifth kiln, I thought that I had already died, and I was determined to die … but when I died, I woke up again. However, when I woke up, I was here, and my body was in this state.
"I don't know the answer to all of this, but I can sense that there is another person in this body of mine. This person … coexists with me.
His name is Zhu You Cai. "He looked at the summit, and his voice echoed in the area.
"Do you want to go to the summit and see the woman who has turned into a rock?" Zhu You Cai turned into a long arc that charged towards the summit.
Su Ming watched Zhu You Cai leave into the distance. Even though the legend he spoke of did not quite match with what he had heard, Su Ming still chose to turn into a long arc and head to the summit.
When the bald crane arrived at the mountain, its expression became slightly gloomy. At that moment, it stared at the mountain cave with a blank look on its face. In silence, it followed behind Su Ming and headed to the summit.
The summit of the mountain was not a place a normal person could enter, but it was different for Zhu You Cai and Su Ming. They did not spend too much time before they arrived at the top of the mountain.
Su Ming saw a stone golem at the top of the mountain.
Based on its appearance, it should be a woman. She stood at the summit and stared into the distance. No one knew what she was looking at.
Zhu You Cai stared at the statue, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes. Perhaps it was not as he had said. He did not know why he had woken up in this place after he died.
Perhaps he knew the reason, but he did not want to say it. It was his secret.
Behind Su Ming, the bald crane shuddered. Grief appeared in its eyes as it stared at the statue. As it stared at it, it felt as if it was immersed in eternity. This was something that could not be seen on normal days.
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable? It's like my body is about to disappear …" the bald crane mumbled. At that moment, a few scenes rose in its head.
Those scenes were blurry, but vaguely, there seemed to be a woman in them with her back turned towards it. She was like a statue as she stared at the galaxy in the distance.
The bald crane could only watch her from behind and hide its emotions, not wanting to reveal them.
Then, one day, when the woman cried while staring at the galaxy, the bald crane heard itself murmuring.
"So what if it's Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos? So what if my soul disperses? I will help you find him!" The voice echoed in the bald crane's head. As it listened to it, it could hear the anguish in its voice.
The bald crane's vision became blurry. The scenes in its head shattered into pieces, and they swept it away, making it feel uncomfortable and sad.
"This means that before you have enough power to activate your own Abyssal World, I will have to stay by your side to protect you." After a long while, Zhu You Cai averted his gaze from the stone person and turned his head around to look at Su Ming.
Su Ming was silent for a moment before he met Zhu You Cai's gaze.
"You can understand it that way."
"I don't need the fifth kiln's nourishment. With my level of cultivation, I will constantly ensure that her soul does not disappear." Zhu You Cai closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face.
"Then, if you don't keep your promise and revive her, I will make you … feel the same pain," Zhu You Cai said calmly. He lifted his foot and took a step forward into the galaxy.
"Unless I die, I will not go back on my word," Su Ming said clearly. As he took a step forward, he was about to leave into the distance when he suddenly noticed something. He turned his head around to cast a glance at the bald crane, and a pensive look appeared on his face before he left into the distant galaxy.
Su Ming was in front, and the bald crane was by his side. Occasionally, it would turn its head back to look at the mountain. Behind them were Zhu You Cai and Flame Fiends' Progenitor. The strange expression on the bald crane's face also attracted Zhu You Cai's attention, but he did not say anything. He also had a pensive look on his face.
As the group charged forward, they left the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean and moved past Black Ink Planet to step into Western Ring Nebula.
'Western Ring Nebula's foreign land …' At the instant Su Ming stepped into Western Ring Nebula, a brilliant light shone in his eyes. Before he left the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, his final stop would be Western Ring Nebula's foreign land.
Over there, it would also be time for his Ecang clone to devour the other Ecang souls.
Once he succeeded, Su Ming's level of cultivation would immediately increase by a large margin. Because of it, when he returned to True Morning Dao World, he would … be able to stir up the disaster in True Morning Dao World.
