As more of the gigantic battleship was revealed from the Relocation Rune, Su Ming, who was dressed in the Sacred Constellation Robe and had his long hair fluttering in the wind, stood on the battleship with his hands placed behind his back. At the instant the battleship was revealed from the Relocation Rune, all the people's gazes gathered on him!
"Welcome back to the sect, Dynast Dao Kong!" The near ten thousand cultivators in black armor around Su Ming knelt down on one knee and let out a wave of voices that shook the sky and earth and intimidated the entire area!
White clouds filled the blue sky, causing it to be filled with a feeling that calmed one's heart. If anyone looked into the distance, they would see that the land was boundless. This was Morning Dao Sect.
There was no galaxy, only a world. However, it was so big that even with Su Ming's Atman, he could not cover it completely.
He could see that there were ninety-nine mountains that towered into the clouds on the vast land. They stood erect on the ground and exuded waves of mighty pressure, as if they were guarding the land. When anyone looked at them, they could not help but feel as if their hearts were filled with a majestic feeling.
Above the ninety-nine mountains were nine continents that formed a circle. They floated in the sky and existed in an incredibly far away place. When anyone looked at them, they could only see a circular scar. Unless they climbed into the sky, it would be difficult for them to see the entire land.
Vaguely, there seemed to be other continents above the nine continents, but they were too far away and could not be seen clearly.
If that was the case, then while Morning Dao Sect was huge, it did not quite fit with its status as the strongest sect in True Morning Dao World. The mountain might be huge, but it was still slightly lacking.
However, Dao Kong's memories in Su Ming's head allowed him to clearly understand that the seemingly boundless piece of land he was on was in truth floating in midair. There were nine hundred and ninety-nine such pieces of land in Morning Dao Sect.
All of them floated in midair and formed a gigantic ring. Below them … were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine continents that were even larger. They … floated in the sky.
At the very bottom was an ocean. It was a mysterious region known as Dao Ocean. It was a forbidden land, but in truth, there was no need for anyone to deliberately set it up. It was a forbidden land, but it was called that to warn all Morning Dao Sect disciples who tried to go to Dao Ocean that it was incredibly dangerous.
In reality, for countless years, as long as one stepped into the Sea of the Path, not a single one of them appeared again. All of them perished. That was a forbidden land, a forbidden zone for life.
There were rumors that the entire True Morning Dao World was in truth formed from Dao Ocean. The first Dao Chen was in truth a clone of Dao Ocean.
However, a voice transmission was just a voice transmission. No one knew whether it was real or fake. Perhaps only the Dao Chen of each generation would know whether the voice transmission was real or not.
Su Ming averted his gaze from the sky. When he swept his gaze across the area, the battleship under his feet gradually appeared in the Relocation Rune, and he saw the near ten thousand cultivators who were looking towards him.
He swept his gaze past the ten thousand people, and all those who met his gaze felt their hearts tremble. They had a strong feeling that Su Ming's gaze had turned into sharp arrows that instantly pierced through their eyes and into their hearts, throwing their cultivation bases into chaos. Booming sounds rang out in their hearts.
In an instant, the near ten thousand people moved back simultaneously. Some of the people with higher levels of cultivation were in a better state of mind, and their hearts only trembled. However, the minds of those with slightly lower levels of cultivation roared. Their minds went blank, and a powerful desire to worship Su Ming rose in them. It was as if if they did not worship Su Ming when he looked at them, their minds would be torn to shreds.
In the midst of the loud booms, the cultivators wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed to Su Ming.
"Welcome back to the clan, Dynast Dao Kong!" Their voices rose and fell, and gradually, they turned into a wave of sound that roared in the air. The faces of the three middle-aged men who represented their Dynasts turned pale. When they moved back, deep shock appeared in their eyes when they looked towards Su Ming.
The battleship completely appeared in the Relocation Rune. When the light from the Relocation Rune disappeared, the nine old Frail Darknesses, Xu Hui, Flame Fiends' Progenitor, and Zhu You Cai also appeared. Beside Su Ming was the bald crane, who had turned into the Dual Fiends of Black and Yellow along with the Abyss Dragon Su Ming had released.
Then there was the catwoman. Too much of her blood and essence had been devoured by the teenager with the blood of Ancient Wu, and she had only just recovered a little. Before she stepped into the Relocation Rune, she was released by Su Ming. At that moment, she stood beside him. Her face was still slightly pale, but when she looked at Su Ming, her gaze was different from before.
The appearance of the crowd, the hundreds of battleships in the sky, and the mighty pressure formed by Su Ming's gaze fused together and immediately turned into a powerful, intimidating force.
Su Ming's expression was calm. Once he swept his gaze across the land, his eyes landed on the three direct descendants. They had a large number of followers and guards in their places, which was why they stood out in the crowd.
"I need a follower. It doesn't matter whether it's a direct descendant or someone from another race. I need someone who is incredibly familiar with Morning Dao Sect and can make up for my lack of understanding of this place after not returning for one thousand something years.
"Are there any among you who are willing to take up this position?" Su Ming asked faintly. His voice was not loud, but it reached all the people's hearts.
The ten thousand something people immediately fell silent. Quite a number of them were hesitant, thinking that this was a chance, but Su Ming had just arrived. Even though his presence was like a tidal wave, it had to be known that the other nine Dynasts were all prodigies. In the future, there would definitely be a devastating competition between the ten of them. Because of that, if they made a rash decision without careful consideration and made a mistake, then the price they would have to pay would be eternal damnation.
That was why the hesitant people found it difficult to make up their minds.
"I knew it, it's you, Old Flame Monster!" A cold harrumph came from Progenitor Tai Shan, who was not too far away. His words and the cold harrumph that came from within immediately made the hesitant people get rid of their thoughts. All of them could tell that something was off.
The white-haired Tai Shan cast his gaze on Flame Fiends' Progenitor, who was standing behind Su Ming. He might have a hood over his head, but he was still an Almighty. Huo Kui might be able to deceive the other people in the area, but he could not deceive Progenitor Tai Shan, who already knew some things.
"Heh heh, I knew that I would run into you here, you old coot. Tai Shan, Tai Shan, when are you going to lift a mountain and squash yourself to death?" Flame Fiends' Progenitor let out a low chuckle. When he lifted his head, he removed his hood to reveal his ferocious face. With his red eyes, he stared at Progenitor Tai Shan.
"You haven't been burned to death yet, so how could I be squashed to death by a mountain?" Progenitor Tai Shan let out a cold harrumph again. When he took a step forward, he charged towards Su Ming's warship. His arrival immediately caused the cultivators in the area to look at him, especially the three middle-aged men who had come to investigate the situation on behalf of their respective Dynasts. Delight appeared in their eyes.
The expressions of the nine old Frail Darknesses beside Su Ming changed. Even Xu Hui's pupils shrank. The bald crane and the dog that was the Abyss Dragon remained unmoved. They shook their heads and occasionally looked at the area with sparkling eyes while gulping.
Zhu You Cai had his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to everything around him. However, his gigantic body had naturally caught the attention of others a long time ago.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. As he watched Progenitor Tai Shan arrive and listened to Huo Kui's words, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Huo Kui and Zhu You Cai. Huo Kui had also said similar harsh words, but in truth … their relationship was pretty good.
At the instant Progenitor Tai Shan closed in on him in the form of a long arc, Flame Fiends' Progenitor let out a long howl and rushed towards him. The two of them closed in on each other in midair, and a loud bang shot up. Once each of them delivered a palm strike, both of them moved back. Flame Fiends' Progenitor took eight steps back, while Tai Shan only took four.
"Did you do this willingly?" Progenitor Tai Shan suddenly asked.
Su Ming's expression was calm by the side. He could tell with just one glance that Progenitor Tai Shan's palm strike was not an attack, but a test to see whether someone had placed a seal in Flame Fiends' Progenitor's body. Similarly, while Flame Fiends' Progenitor's palm strike might have seemed like an attack, in truth, it was to cover up the wisp of divine thought he had sent to Su Ming at the instant the two of them crashed into each other.
"Duh, if I didn't do this willingly, who could make me leave my nest?" Flame Fiends' Progenitor grinned.
A smile gradually appeared on Tai Shan's face. His gaze landed on Su Ming, and after staring at him for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly before he wrapped his fist in his palm towards him.
"I am Tai Shan. Greetings, Dynast Dao Kong. Old Huo Kui and I are friends who have gone through life and death together. In the past, if he had not saved me in the fifth kiln in Divine Essence Star Ocean, I would have already died.
"I tested you just now, and I hope that you will not mind. As for the follower you need, there is no need for you to look for an outsider. I have a disciple who can do the job.
"Fei Er, come here and greet Dynast Dao Kong." Progenitor Tai Shan smiled faintly, then turned his head around to look at the thin and frail teenager who had his head lowered in the distance. When he looked at the teenager, his eyes were filled with affection.
More accurately speaking, the teenager should be a girl. She walked over with great reluctance and stood beside the old man. Once she cast Su Ming a glance, she spoke in a lackadaisical manner.
"Greetings, Dynast Dao Kong. I am Ma Fei."
"This child …" Progenitor Tai Shan glared at the girl. When he turned his head around to look at Su Ming, he said with a smile, "This is my only disciple. Her body has been weak since she was young, but she is very intelligent. There is no rumor in Morning Dao Sect that she does not know. Your Highness, if there is anything you do not understand, feel free to ask her. If this child is mischievous, feel free to teach her a lesson.
"I will hand my disciple over to Your Highness. I hope that you will train her well so that she can gain more experience." A stern expression appeared on Progenitor Tai Shan's face. He wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming and bowed deeply.
Su Ming cast a glance at Tai Shan. He might not know what sort of message Huo Kui had sent to this person, but it was clear that it was this message that had caused the old man to forcefully send his disciple over. The word "outsider" had also made many things clear. If Su Ming still could not understand it, then he wouldn't be himself.
Su Ming smiled faintly. He was willing to accept this sort of kindness. He swept his gaze past the thin girl, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head around and looked at the sky in the distance.
"Dao Kong, you killed my brother! Do you dare fight against me alone?!" A low roar filled with anger came swiftly from the sky in the distance. Along with it, a sword light sliced through the air and came charging towards him.
