It was just a triangular Rune of Light. No matter how extraordinary its might was, it could not trap Su Ming, who already possessed the perfect Ecang and had replaced it. Even though Su Ming's Ecang could not compare to the Ecang that had swept through the universe in the past in terms of level of cultivation, they were equal in terms of state of being.
What Su Ming needed was time. As time passed, his Ecang clone would grow rapidly until he reached the height he had reached in the past, and then … he would surpass that height and reach an unprecedented peak. After all, this time, Su Ming, who had Ecang's true form, had another identity — Old Man Extermination!
Based on Su Ming's understanding, Old Man Extermination was clearly an old man from Dark Dawn's camp. His level of cultivation was so great that it was difficult for Su Ming to estimate it. He was the strongest person Su Ming knew.
Su Ming had always suspected that … even if this person came from Dark Dawn, there was a high possibility that he was not bound by any restrictions. However, Su Ming did not have too many clues regarding the specifics, so it was difficult for him to learn the truth.
However, there was another question that remained in Su Ming's heart, and that was why Dark Dawn and Saint Defier stood against each other.
Before Su Ming met the golden mosquito, he had never been able to figure out the details, but through the golden mosquito and the golden blood, Su Ming felt that … he had vaguely grasped some of the truth.
Dark Dawn and Saint Defier countered each other, but if they devoured each other, they would immediately become stronger. This was something Su Ming could clearly sense when he saw the edges of his body swiftly recovering slightly after the Seed of Life Extermination devoured the golden blood.
Because of that, perhaps … Dark Dawn and Saint Defier stood against each other because devouring each other could make them stronger. If they could destroy one camp, they would be able to hold up the sky!
'Cultivators practice cultivation to mend their flaws until they become perfect and flawless …' Su Ming buried this question and guess deep in his heart. Once he walked out of the triangular Rune of Light, his gaze landed on the three Sect Masters in front of him.
"We were cautious just now and offended you greatly. Please forgive us, Your Highness. It's just that after you returned from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, your level of cultivation has increased so much that we can't help but think of many things." The old man who had always been friendly to Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm and said.
"Now, there are no more problems. Three days later, the Anointment Ceremony will be held. At that time, you will go through challenges and trials. With your level of cultivation, these two things will naturally be easy for you. I will congratulate you beforehand." The old man smiled. When he looked at Su Ming, a kind look appeared in his eyes.
The other old man by his side nodded with a smile. As Sect Masters of Morning Dao Sect, they were naturally incredibly happy to see a Sect Master with the golden bloodline appearing in Morning Dao Sect. Only the tanned old man did not say a single word.
"I have also offended you before. I hope the two Sect Elders will not take offense." Su Ming might be a fickle person, but the two old men before him were incredibly polite to him, and the praise on their faces was very genuine. Hence, Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm to return the greeting. This was Su Ming's personality. If someone respected him, he would naturally not speak ill of them.
As for the tanned old man, Su Ming completely ignored him.
The estrangement between them could be considered to have been resolved. Once Su Ming took the plate of a Dynast, he could be considered to have officially returned to Morning Dao Sect. Once he wrapped his fist in his palm, he turned around and left in a long arc.
The thin Ma Fei had already been shocked by what Su Ming had done. At that moment, she quickly followed behind him. Her sparkling eyes would occasionally size him up, and interest would appear on her face.
When Su Ming left and the golden light from the third continent disappeared, the three old men outside the Sect Elder Chamber fell silent for a moment. Then, the old man who had been friendly to Su Ming turned his head sideways to cast a glance at the tanned Sect Master.
"Yu Lin, you were a little too rash in this matter."
The tanned old man let out a cold harrumph, and a dark glare appeared in his eyes.
"I've already sent someone to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to investigate everything about this person's past. They will be back soon, and at that time, we will know in detail why this person's level of cultivation increased by leaps and bounds," the tanned old man said coldly.
"So what if we know? He has already gone through the Blood and Soul Fusion test, and golden light has appeared. This is a sign that he has surpassed our ancestors. Based on our ancestors' teachings, as long as this person doesn't do anything that betrays Morning Dao Sect, we are not to interfere in anything related to him," the other old man said with a frown.
"We've already sent someone out, so what's the point of saying anything else? When the person who was sent out returns, we will be able to answer our questions. After all, the people in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence do not have any contact with us. We will only learn about everything that happens in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence after some time," the tanned old man said coldly. The dark-faced old man said in a cold voice. He turned around and waved his sleeves. He walked straight towards the tower where he was meditating. The other two elders looked at each other and shook their heads. They did not say anything and returned to their own towers.
The tanned old man sat cross-legged in his tower. In the quiet tower, his expression was incredibly dark. He had been troubled because Dao Kong had been conferred the title of a Dynast, and some of the people who belonged to the tanned old man's line had also been conferred the title of Dynast. Because of that, it would naturally be best if he could get rid of Dao Kong.
But he did not expect that this would be the result. Not only did he not manage to get rid of Dao Kong, he had instead increased his influence. After this, there might be quite a number of people in Morning Dao Sect who would learn about the Golden Light Bloodline.
'The Golden Light Bloodline …' A faint glint appeared in the tanned old man's eyes. He lifted his right hand, and a jade slip immediately appeared on his palm. With a light squeeze, the jade slip instantly disappeared without a trace.
'I will spread this matter to the outside world. With the power of the Immortals' Union, they will definitely be very interested in Dao Kong, who has the Golden Light Bloodline. 'A smile appeared at the corners of the tanned old man's lips.
'Also, this person will definitely have a lot of secrets in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. The person I sent is a True Guard who returned from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence in the past. With him investigating this matter, he will definitely be able to discover many secrets that no one else knows about. Judging by the time, he should return during the ceremony. At that time, I will make him reveal Dao Kong's secrets in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence in front of all the disciples in Morning Dao Sect …
'Perhaps my suspicions alone won't be enough, but if I make all the disciples in Morning Dao Sect suspect him, then even if he has the Golden Light Bloodline, he will still have to give an explanation.
'I will use this to destroy his status as a Dynast before I truly confer the title of Dynast on him!' The tanned old man smiled coldly and slowly closed his eyes. He looked forward to what sort of conclusion the person he sent to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence would bring to the disciples in Morning Dao Sect once he returned.
Su Ming left the third continent and returned to the land that was filled with seawater. What welcomed him was another round of cheers and excitement. When night fell, the land slowly quietened down.
Late at night, Su Ming sat alone on a cliff. The sounds of waves crashing against the shore reached his ears. Before him was a boundless sea. It might be late at night and the moon might not be bright, but he could still see the vast expanse of seawater and smell the fishy stench of the sea breeze.
Xu Hui sat beside Su Ming and watched the sea with him. The two dogs that were the bald crane and the Abyss Dragon lay by the side and yawned.
Su Ming stared at the sea. He remembered the Berserkers who were submerged in seawater, remembered the ninth summit, and remembered his senior brothers. He did not know whether they were still in the land of Berserkers or whether they had walked out …
Su Ming shook his head. After all, one thousand something years had passed. It had been far too long since they last met. Besides their memories, there was nothing else between them.
"Do you like this place?" Xu Hui tucked away a strand of her hair that was lifted by the sea breeze. She turned her head sideways to look at Su Ming's silent expression and asked softly.
"What about you?" Su Ming did not answer her question. Instead, he asked another question.
"I don't really like it." Xu Hui shook her head.
"This place doesn't belong to me. It's a pity that my Sect has become a member of the Immortals' Union. I don't feel too comfortable staying here." Xu Hui sighed softly.
"If there comes a day when this place belongs to me, I will also like it," Su Ming said faintly.
Xu Hui did not speak. She stared at the sea, and after a moment of silence, she turned her head around to look at Su Ming. A complicated look flashed briefly on her face. Just as she was about to say something, Su Ming suddenly said something.
"The complicated look on your face has appeared a few times. The one that left the deepest impression on me was when I went to save you in the fifth kiln. Xu Hui, everyone has their own secrets …" Su Ming picked up a stone beside him and threw it gently into the sea. It fell into the seawater and was submerged by the waves.
"This secret is like a stone. It will disappear without a trace when it falls into the sea, but if you want to fish it out, it will be slightly difficult."
"I …" Xu Hui hesitated for a moment.
"Don't say it. There are certain things that you will be its master before you say it, and once you say it, you will become its servant." Su Ming turned his head around and stared at Xu Hui.
Xu Hui was silent for some time before she bit her bottom lip and lowered her head to speak softly.
"Once you are made a Dynast, I would like to leave for a period of time to deal with my own matters."
"Do you need me?" Su Ming asked seriously.
"Not for the time being, but if I truly need you, you will know." Xu Hui lifted her head and looked at Su Ming with a smile. There was a hint of freedom in her smile, and a hint of the shackles that had always been hidden away was gone.
"This sort of smile is the most beautiful. Even if you have a lot of moles, you will still be beautiful." Su Ming smiled.
"It's an honor for someone who can't even win against a girl like me when it comes to drinking to describe me this way." When Xu Hui heard Su Ming's words, she immediately replied, but once she finished speaking, she also covered her mouth and started laughing. She covered her mouth and revealed her eyes. They narrowed until they looked like crescent moons, and they looked as if they were reflecting against the crescent moon in the sky, which was hidden by the clouds, giving off an even more beautiful charm.
The bald crane cast a sideways glance at Su Ming and Xu Hui, then let out a harrumph in its heart. 'These two are really annoying. If it was me, I would have immediately pounced on whoever caught my eye. There's no way I would have the time to flirt here.'
The big dog that was the Abyss Dragon also let out a harrumph in its heart and mumbled under its breath. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
