Su Ming stared at the galaxy. With his level of cultivation, he could see very far into the distance. He could see through the whirlwind beyond the ripple, and he could see a group of people rushing over from the distance.
He saw Chen Wen and Si Ma Yu at the forefront of the group, and he also saw … a headless man before the thousands of cultivators following behind them. He took huge strides forward, and with one swing of the battle axe in his hand, the whirlwind would tumble to the sides with a bang, revealing a path for passage.
Su Ming stared at the headless man, and the excitement and sentimentality on his face intersected with each other. They had been separated for one thousand something years. At that time, he had still been rather young, but now, he had completely grown up. However, even if even more time had passed, the friendship between senior and junior brothers was like aged wine. It would only grow stronger, and it would never disappear.
"Eldest senior brother …" Su Ming mumbled. He did not show too much pleasant surprise on his face, neither did he show much excitement. This was because they had both grown up, and sincere friendship did not need to be expressed outwardly. It existed in one's heart and soul, and it was a kind of brotherly love that could be understood just by looking into each other's eyes! Su Ming mumbled.
Su Ming lifted his right hand and put away the locust he had been refining. He stood up, and with a smile on his face, he slowly walked forward. His eldest senior brother's arrival was a great joy in his life. This was the first time they had reunited after being separated for one thousand something years. There was no way Su Ming could just sit there and wait for his senior brother to arrive. He had to go and welcome him!
Su Ming could see his eldest senior brother, but his eldest senior brother could not see Su Ming. When a dozen something breaths passed, the headless man suddenly came to a halt while walking in the whirlwind. He might not have a head and his expression could not be seen, but the hand holding the battle axe shuddered slightly.
The murderous aura around his body gradually disappeared. He stood there and stared into the distance with the eye of his soul. Gradually, a smile appeared in the depths of his heart, along with a sense of happiness.
The whirlwind in front of him roared at that instant. A white ripple spread out from within it. As it spread out, the whirlwind tumbled backwards to reveal a large, empty galaxy. Su Ming walked over with a smile on his face.
When Chen Wen and Si Ma Yu saw him, they immediately wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed deeply.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Su Ming, who was dressed in a black robe and had his face covered, approached them slowly. When he walked past Chen Wen and Si Ma Yu, he arrived in front of the headless man.
Su Ming fell silent, and so did the headless man.
Everyone in the surroundings was silent.
When Su Ming lifted his black robe to reveal an incredibly unfamiliar face to the headless man, the eyes on that unfamiliar face made the battle axe in the headless man's hand disappear, and he spread his arms wide.
With a smile on his face, Su Ming spread his arms wide as well. Right before thousands of cultivators' gazes, the two of them hugged each other for the first time in one thousand something years in the galaxy!
Neither of them said a word. As the two brothers embraced, they patted each other's backs fiercely. It was as if they wanted to express their friendship of more than a thousand years through this embrace.
"You've grown up." Eldest senior brother took a step back and stared at Su Ming. His ancient and sentimental voice tumbled out of his body. There was nostalgia in his voice, along with his will to protect the ninth summit and his junior brother, who belonged to him even if he had to destroy the universe.
It was a simple sentence, but it contained everything that had happened over the past one thousand something years. Eldest senior brother was not good at expressing his thoughts, but there was a hint of quiver in his ancient voice when he said those words. Others might not be able to sense it, but Su Ming could clearly sense it.
"You've grown up …" Su Ming stared at his eldest senior brother and said with a smile. In his smile was nostalgia for the ninth summit, longing for his senior brother, and longing … for his home.
…..
Chen Wen and Si Ma Yu sat cross-legged in the area without the whirlwind. Occasionally, they would lift their heads to look at Su Ming and the headless man, who stood beside the Relocation Rune in the distance.
On the other side of Chen Wen were thousands of cultivators who were trying their best to meditate. They were silent and did not move.
At that moment, no one dared to disturb Su Ming and his eldest senior brother.
While sitting cross-legged, a pot of wine appeared in Su Ming's hand. The other pot was with his eldest senior brother, but he did not drink from it. Usually, when he patted it with his right hand, most of the wine in the pot would sink.
Drinking in this manner caused a hint of pain to appear on Su Ming's face when he saw it.
He would never forget the scene of his eldest senior brother cutting off his own head in the land of Berserkers and turning into Xing Gan. Even if time had passed, the memory of that scene would always remain in Su Ming's heart.
"You were forced into Divine Essence Star Ocean in the past. When I woke up, I made up my mind to bring Second and Hu Zi out of the land of Berserkers. I wanted to step into the Immortals' galaxy and go to Divine Essence Star Ocean to search for you!" eldest senior brother said hoarsely. He patted the pot of wine with his right hand, and the wine inside was finished.
"You're my junior brother, and you're our youngest junior brother. We might have different blood coursing through our veins, but we're cultivators of the ninth summit. Fate has bound us together, and then … we're family that's ten thousand times stronger than blood!
"You were willing to give up your status as the God of Berserkers for us and go to Divine Essence Star Ocean willingly. We … as your senior brothers, we can give up our lives for you!
"You don't know just how many times I saw Hu Zi crying alone when I woke up after you left. He drank alone and stared at your cave abode …
"And your second senior brother. He has changed a lot. Most of the time, his expression is dark. I know that he hates that his level of cultivation is not high enough. He hates that he can't change everything.
"Because this hatred also exists in my heart!
"After you left and we woke up one after another, the three of us decided that no matter what price we had to pay, we would become stronger. We would continue becoming stronger, and we would become so strong that we could control our own destinies!" Eldest senior brother said hoarsely. When he lifted his right hand, another pot of wine appeared. With a slap, all the wine in it disappeared.
Su Ming stared at his eldest senior brother quietly, at the headless but incredibly built man before him. As he stared at him, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face. Within that smile was the flow of time, along with a will that made Su Ming persevere.
Because the person before him was real. He was one of the few real existences in his life. This reality did not lie in his body, but in his soul, his will, and his friendship towards Su Ming.
All of this was real.
After experiencing everything in the past and going through Su Xuan Yi's plan, Su Ming did not dare to believe in what was real and what was fake, because once he believed in it and became serious about it, then if all of this turned out to be fake, the damage to him would be incredibly great.
However, from the moment Su Ming stepped into the ninth summit, he had always been certain that the ninth summit was real. His eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and Hu Zi were real!
These were the most precious things in Su Ming's heart. They were the things he would protect with everything he had. They were the treasures of his life.
Su Ming had been bloodthirsty before, he had been cold-blooded before, and he had been mad before. However, there was still a fragility in his heart that very few people could understand. That fragility belonged to his family, and it belonged to the ninth summit.
"How … did you leave the land of Berserkers?" Su Ming stared at his eldest senior brother. He could sense the murderous aura around him. It was definitely not something that could be gathered from a simple slaughter. It was definitely a monstrous killing intent that could only be accumulated in a sea of blood for many years.
"The land of Berserkers …" His eldest senior brother fell silent for a moment.
"You could go to Divine Essence Star Ocean for us, and we could also go out to search for you. We were willing to listen to that damned ancient will from Yin Death Region and become its generals to conquer the other continents in Yin Death Region. We completed all of his requests." I don't know how second and Hu Zi lived through it. They didn't say anything, and Hu Zi even forgot about it on his own.
"But I know that I killed an endless number of living beings during that war … I gained my level of cultivation through killing. My level of cultivation isn't high, but the strongest part of my cultivation base is my murderous aura!
"If we're talking about cultivation, then I've cultivated a murderous aura. I've cultivated a river of souls!" When eldest senior brother said those words, he lifted his right hand and swung it in the direction of the galaxy. In an instant, the galaxy roared, and a long river manifested in the air. That long river was boundless, and there were countless living beings howling shrilly within it. They were struggling and roaring, and they could not be dispelled.
"As for why I walked out of Yin Death Region … it's because of this!" Eldest senior brother pulled his right hand back and seized his chest. Immediately, his chest was reduced to a bloody mess. The blood that flowed out of it turned into a complicated Brand on his chest.
That Brand looked like a grimace, and it seemed to be laughing.
"This Brand is known as Dark Dawn's Spirit. Only those ancient wills who were branded with it and became the Offering of the Expanse Cosmos in Dark Dawn's camp allowed me to leave Yin Death Region.
"It was the same with your second senior brother, and it was the same with Hu Zi.
"Once we left Yin Death Region, we split up. I asked your second senior brother to change his sect so that he could go to any sect he wanted to train in. With his body as the Phantom King, he could change into a myriad of forms and fuse with the strengths of all clans. Then, he could reach great mastery in the Phantom Dao!
"I asked your third senior brother to join the Immortals' Union and start from a young age, because he's too naive and straightforward. There are pros and cons to this, but if a jade is not polished, it will not be useful. I wanted him to suffer and hone the laws of his Rune on the battlefield. I wanted him … to walk down the Dao that belongs to him!
"As for me, I joined a race and became their blade to hone myself. Then, I would turn on that race and practice my murderous dao!
"I had the three of us split up because I wanted us to use our own methods to search for the path to Divine Essence Star Ocean and search for you. If it wasn't because of the battle against Morning Dao Sect, we would have gone to Divine Essence Star Ocean a long time ago …" Eldest senior brother was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly. His words were calm, and he did not sound like he was in any danger, but Su Ming, who understood his eldest senior brother's personality, knew that the true experience would definitely be a hundred times more difficult than what his eldest senior brother had described.
