Su Ming was also silent. He sat cross-legged in the white ring and stared at the galaxy outside. There was no end to it, and it was filled with countless whirlwinds. When he cast his gaze over it, he could not see a single star. He could only see countless cracks in space.
Occasionally, there would be some gigantic shattered stones sweeping through the whirlwinds. They were clearly once part of the planets in True Morning Dao World, but as the whirlwinds howled, most of them were destroyed, filling the True Morning Dao World with shattered stones and dust.
Besides shattered stones, there were also quite a large number of shards from Enchanted Treasures. In fact, there was even a bloody stench surrounding True Morning Dao World.
As he stared outside quietly, Su Ming had a feeling as if he had returned to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. In fact, True Morning Dao World's current state was much better than that of the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
In silence, the white ring charged forward. All the whirlwinds in the world outside looked as if they had been cut apart. At the instant they touched each other, they crumbled and shattered on their own.
Su Ming could only use one-hundredth of the ring's power to make the white ring do this. As for making the white ring erupt with even greater power, that was something Su Ming did not have the strength to do, even if he had the will to do it.
The item was so strong that even the black-robed old man and Xing Ji Dao could not activate it. They could only use their own power to activate the cultivation base left behind in the treasure, which could be considered as an indirect form of control.
That was why when Xing Ji Dao had used his full power to activate the treasure, it had been incredibly difficult for him. The pressure on him was also incredibly great, which gave Su Ming the chance to Possess and devour it.
Su Ming's control over the supreme treasure was different from Xing Ji Dao's. He did not activate the cultivation base contained in the treasure to indirectly control it … but the bald crane was controlling it.
"How is it?" Su Ming sent a divine thought to the bald crane in his heart.
"Still a little lacking. Darn it, this thing is pretty hard to get." The bald crane's panting voice instantly echoed in Su Ming's mind.
"Are you certain that the method you mentioned will work?" A barely noticeable glint shone in Su Ming's eyes, and he sent a divine thought to the bald crane in his heart.
"Of course it will work. Heh heh, don't worry. When I saw this treasure, this memory appeared in my head. It's definitely not wrong.
"In my memories, the Mortal Refinement Art was once a famous treasure refinement art. This Art has been lost for many years. Fortunately, I know about it. You only need to refine it according to my instructions. I wouldn't dare say that you will be able to control this treasure perfectly, but you should be able to use at least ten-twenty percent of its true power." The bald crane's smug voice echoed in Su Ming's heart.
When Su Ming had devoured Xing Ji Dao and wanted to control the white ring, the bald crane had suddenly sent him a divine thought and told him about the Mortal Refinement Art. This method would allow Su Ming to use his own power to perfectly control the supreme treasure, but the process of refining it would be slightly more troublesome.
'The Mortal Refinement Art … enters the cycle of reincarnation as a mortal and refine it while it is in the cycle of reincarnation. Once you refine it nine times, a hint of the will of reincarnation will will be formed in the treasure. With this will of reincarnation, you can control the essence of the treasure. You don't need to have the corresponding level of cultivation to control it.' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he nodded quietly.
'You mentioned before that this Art was once famous? If it's so amazing, why was it lost? ' Su Ming suddenly asked in his heart. He had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen. He had a feeling that the bald crane was not very reliable …
"I don't know about that. In any case, I feel that this Art is very powerful … Hmm? I seem to have remembered something. There seems to be some flaws in this Art, but I can't remember them. Hey, are you going to use it or not? If you don't, I won't make preparations. This job is too tiring," the bald crane mumbled under its breath.
Su Ming fell silent. It only lasted for the span of a few breaths, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
"Continue making preparations," he said faintly.
In the blink of an eye, seven days went by. When it arrived, Su Ming stared at the broken True Morning Dao World and the galaxy filled with whirlwinds. Finally, a planet appeared.
This was the first planet Su Ming saw in the past seven days. It was a cultivation planet that had been mostly destroyed in the whirlwinds, and only a small portion of it remained.
As he stared at the broken cultivation planet, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
'This is a disaster that affected the entire True Morning Dao World. Since there are planets left behind, then it means that there are definitely cultivators who managed to survive the disaster by sheer luck!
'True Morning Dao World has already been destroyed. I wonder how Morning Sect is now, and neither do I know … how my senior brothers are doing. I wonder whether Yin Death Region was affected …' The light in Su Ming's eyes darkened. After a moment of pensive silence, he sent a thought to the cultivation planet. Immediately, the white ring turned into a long white arc and changed its direction to charge towards the cultivation planet. Once it closed in on it, it flew straight into it.
A loud bang shot up. At the instant Su Ming arrived, the cultivation planet shuddered and crumbled a little more. Countless shattered stones fell off and were swept away by the whirlwinds. It was as if the cultivation planet had already reached its limit of crumbling. Su Ming's arrival caused the pressure on it to become even greater, and the edges of the planet started crumbling.
Fortunately, the crumbling did not last for long before it gradually came to a stop. When Su Ming walked out of the white ring and stepped on the ground of the cultivation planet, he saw a broken sky filled with whirlwinds. Countless layers of the ground seemed to have been swept away to reveal a crimson surface.
There were no mountains in the distance, because all of them had been destroyed by the whirlwinds. There were no seas either, because they had already been flattened.
Waves of heat spread out from the ground. As it intersected with the cold in the sky, violent gusts of wind swept up sand and swept through the planet.
There was no presence of life in the place. In fact, the life within the cultivation planet had long since been extinguished. This was a dead planet, and it was also a world without any signs of life.
Su Ming swept his gaze past the area, then lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground. Immediately, a gigantic vortex appeared with a bang on the ground with him as its center. That vortex swept up the sand and swept outwards, but it was immediately blown away by a violent gust of wind, causing the area to become clear. In just the span of a few breaths, a gigantic basin appeared under Su Ming's feet.
Su Ming cast a glance at the basin, then sat down cross-legged at the bottom of the pit. When he lifted his head, he cast a glance at Bai Feng, who stood at the edge of the pit with an apathetic expression on her face. With Su Ming's level of cultivation, he could naturally tell with just one glance that Bai Feng's life had come to an end. Her presence was weak, and she was about to die.
In at most a month, her life force would be extinguished and she would die.
Saving Bai Feng was Su Ming's sentimentality towards the past. Bai Feng was Su Ming's ignorance towards love. Perhaps it was a joke. The bud might have already withered, but when Bai Feng died, even she herself did not know that the black-robed person beside her was Su Ming.
An invisible fate connected the two of them, causing one of them to be by the other's side when he was about to die. However, this love had already been blown away by the wind and turned into a sigh in the wind and snow. It did not disappear even after a long time had passed, and the person could only lament about fate and life …
Su Ming closed his eyes and waited for the bald crane to finish its preparations. Then, he would use the Mortal Refinement Art and the will of reincarnation to refine the white ring. The bald crane had been preparing all this while, but it had yet to finish.
Su Ming sat quietly. Days passed, and gradually, another seven days went by. To Su Ming, these seven days might have only been an instant. It was a short period of time for him to familiarize himself with his body, but to Bai Feng, these seven days were nearly three-tenths of her life.
She only had half a month left in her life. She only had two seven-day periods left.
Humans were complicated lives, but no matter how complicated they were, as long as they had emotions, then when they were about to die, they would be at their purest.
Bai Feng stared at the sky quietly. When seven days passed, the age on her face became even more obvious. Her presence was so weak that she looked like she had turned into a mortal.
"Thank you for saving me," she mumbled. It was the first time she had spoken during the past half a month.
When those words fell into Su Ming's ears, he listened to the familiar voice and stared at the woman who could still vaguely remember her past appearance even though she was old. Su Ming gradually sighed in his heart.
It was as if there would always be sighs between him and the woman in front of him in their entire lives. Perhaps that sigh belonged to him, but it might also belong to her. They had gone in circles in the past, and they had gotten to know each other because of the blood moon. Because of that, they were destined to meet in a silent, unchangeable end.
"I only have half a month left in my life, but I still have to thank you for allowing me to die on the ground and not in the whirlwind," Bai Feng mumbled. Anguish appeared on her face. It was not because of her life flowing away, but because she seemed to be remembering something. Gradually, a faint light shone in her eyes, as if she was immersed in her memories.
"In the past, I agreed to Di Tian's plan to ascend. For that, I could sacrifice everything …" Bai Feng whispered softly while staring at the sky.
"What about now?" Su Ming asked calmly. His voice had already changed when he Possessed a new body. It was Zhang Ji Dao's voice, not Su Ming's.
"Now …" The anguish on Bai Feng's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a smile. That smile made it seem as if she had seen through everything. There was an air of carefreeness about her, but there was a hint of regret in that carefreeness.
"It's very strange. Right now, I'm not thinking about obtaining life, and neither am I dreaming about ascending. Instead … some memories of the past keep surfacing in my head. Perhaps they are the memories of my clone, but once my clone died, they were eternally placed in a corner of my mind. But now … I think that those memories are very beautiful," Bai Feng said softly. However, her usually beautiful voice had become hoarse at that moment. It was like the hair on a beautiful woman's head turning white, and her bones gradually falling off.
"The update is late. I've been traveling for the entire day, and I'm currently writing the second update. It will be late, but I will update before midnight.
The update time has not been stable over the past few days. Please forgive me … " "If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation."
