The black-robed woman's pupils shrank in a barely noticeable manner, but they soon returned to normal. She swept her gaze across the area before her eyes landed on Su Ming.
"Sit." When Su Ming said those words flatly, a cushion immediately appeared out of nowhere in front of the woman. A table manifested in front of it, and there were fruits and wine placed on it. But that was not all. Almost at the same time the table appeared, a person appeared beside it.
It was a boy. Without any expression on his face, he lifted a pot of wine. Once he filled Su Ming and the woman's cups, he took a step back and stood still.
The boy was the same as the table. They had both appeared with just one thought from Su Ming. It could be said that in his True World, Su Ming's thoughts were the beginning of all things.
The black-robed woman might have seemed as calm as ever, but in truth, when she saw this scene, her heart trembled. She understood this sort of divine ability, and based on it, she could tell that Su Ming had definitely successfully Possessed a True World.
This sort of divine ability had already surpassed the limits of what a cultivator could control. It was already in the realm of a True World's Art. In her homeland, this sort of Art was known as a True Divine Ability.
Su Ming's expression might have been calm and his words might have been slow, but the act of seizing the woman through the air and moving her over and revealing the Art of creating illusions out of thin air were all part of Su Ming's plan. His goal was to form a mighty pressure that would envelop the woman's mind.
This sort of mighty pressure could subdue a person without even fighting. Su Ming had gone through many years of experience, and he could use it very naturally. He did not put on any deliberate act, but it was precisely this relaxed action that caused his aunt to feel a hint of nervousness subconsciously appear in her heart when she faced him.
In the beginning, this feeling was only a little, but as it gradually spread out, the woman instinctively chose to obey him. She sat down cross-legged on the cushion, but at the instant she did so, she snapped out of her daze. From the moment she entered the place, it seemed as if everything about her had been affected by Su Ming's presence. While she was enveloped in safety, she did as he asked.
Even the act of sitting down might seem small, but in truth, it was a form of obedience.
When the woman sat down, there was a faint smile on Su Ming's face. He picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and when he put it down, he gradually closed his eyes. He no longer said a single word, and the place would occasionally sink into silence.
Time trickled by. The more Su Ming remained silent, the more the woman felt the mighty pressure around her grow. It turned into an oppressive feeling that sank into her heart, causing her to gradually frown.
The speed of Su Ming's growth shocked her. Before he Possessed a True World, she was still confident that she could keep him in check, but now … when she faced him, she no longer had any confidence, because the entire True World was his clone.
Furthermore, the mysterious person who had heavily injured her with a single shout was also one of the reasons why she was so nervous.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the woman in black broke the silence and took the initiative to speak.
"Is your way of treating guests to be speechless?" The woman's voice was cold. When she said those words, her expression turned aloof, and the nervousness she had been hiding could no longer be seen. It was as if she had turned into a cold mountain.
"I'm thinking about how I should address you and who my mother is to you." Su Ming opened his eyes and stared at the beautiful woman before him calmly.
Once he Possessed Morning Dao, Su Ming could tell with just one glance that the woman's presence did not belong to the current Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. She came from the world beyond, and Su Ming could not sense the presence of the Eight Paramount Daos and the others from her. Instead, he sensed a presence similar to that of the Seed of Life Extermination. This feeling was similar to that of the locust, which was why Su Ming could immediately tell that the woman came from Dark Dawn.
She came from Dark Dawn and had once shown killing intent towards him. More importantly, Su Ming sensed a hint of familiarity from her. That familiarity came from her soul and the Dragon of Destruction.
If Su Ming still could not figure out the woman's origins after connecting all these things together, then he would not have the right to continue surviving through all these schemes and dangers.
The woman was clearly from her mother's race — the Spiritlings from Dark Dawn's camp!
Su Ming's words echoed in the air. The black-robed woman's expression was aloof, but her heart sank. Su Ming had exposed her origins with just one sentence, causing her to remain silent for a moment before she decided to speak up.
"Your mother is my older sister," the black-robed woman said coldly.
Su Ming's gaze focused. He stared at the woman before him, and an overbearing look appeared in his eyes. Under his gaze, it was as if two sharp arrows had pierced through the woman's eyes and wanted to see into the depths of her heart.
The black-robed woman felt as if all the light in the True World had gathered in Su Ming's gaze and turned into a mighty pressure that she could not fight against. It was so strong that she instantly sucked in a sharp breath, and disbelief appeared in her eyes. The strength of it made her feel that if he wanted her dead, he only needed a single thought to do so.
"He has just successfully Possessed me and hasn't stabilized his control over this Expanse Cosmos! How could he have completely mastered the power of this Expanse Cosmos?!" The black-robed woman's expression changed. She felt as if there was blood in her throat that trickled down the corners of her mouth.
"You're not," Su Ming said flatly. When he spoke, he averted his gaze, and the mighty pressure on the woman's body instantly disappeared. However, the appearance and disappearance of the mighty pressure caused the woman to relax after her nervousness. In an imperceptible manner, a small portion of her cultivation base had been drained, and it immediately shocked her. She remained silent for a moment before she spoke with a complicated expression.
"Although the previous Holy Maiden and I are not related by blood, in the Soul Race, the previous Holy Maidens have been master and disciple to each other. We all call each other sisters. Before I became the Holy Maiden, I accompanied your mother until she died."
"Passed away …" Su Ming fell silent. He might have thought of this answer a long time ago, but when he heard it with his own ears, it still turned into a hint of melancholy that could not be found. It was the mother he had never met. She was in Dark Dawn's camp, and she was completely different from the woman in the fifth kiln who was Su Xuan Yi's wife in his memories.
Perhaps he had met her before. It was at the moment he was born, or perhaps a few years after he was born, but it had been too long ago. It was so long ago that Su Ming could no longer remember it … but the sadness in his heart still spread out. With a complicated expression, he sighed softly, and it spread to an unknown place in his heart.
"That is why your mother is my Master and also my elder sister," the woman in black said, enunciating each word clearly as she looked at Su Ming.
"I descended to this Expanse Cosmos to bring you back to the Spiritlings. You awakened the spirit of the Dragon of Destruction, so you cannot stay in the world beyond. The Spiritlings are also your race.
"But … you Possessed True Morning Dao World and formed a True World clone. I know that it is impossible for you to leave this place and return to the Spiritlings with me … If that is the case, I can only give this to you. Before your mother passed away, she asked me to give this to you if I could find you one day." When the woman in black said those words slowly, she lifted her right hand, and a wooden sword the size of a palm appeared on her palm.
The wooden sword was black, but if anyone looked at it for a prolonged period of time, their vision would become blurry, as if the sword's color was continuously changing.
At the instant Su Ming saw the sword, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He could sense a thick presence belonging to the Abyss Builders on the sword. It was incredibly ancient, and it surrounded the sword to form a powerful murderous aura. It was so thick that it seemed to affect the space in the area, causing the world of Morning Dao Sect Su Ming had created to show signs of splitting.
And all of this was just the sword's presence. If he could swing it, then its might would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
But that was not all. At the instant Su Ming's gaze gathered on the sword, it let out a buzzing sound and started trembling swiftly in the woman in black's palm. It was as if the sword had a spirit, and once that spirit met the Abyss Builders and sensed Su Ming's presence, it immediately went through a drastic change.
The buzzing grew stronger, and the murderous aura on the sword instantly surged into the sky. It appeared so suddenly that the woman in black was momentarily stunned. After all, the sword had been in her hands for many years, so there was no way she would not have studied it, but no matter how she tried to Brand it, she could not control it in the slightest. It was as if it was a dead object.
Yet at that moment, the wooden sword trembled and the murderous aura tumbling about it made it seem as if the sword had met its destined master. This change caused the woman to instinctively want to clench her fist around the sword, but at the instant she was about to do so, the wooden sword let out a buzzing sound and disappeared from her hand.
When it reappeared, it was right in front of the center of Su Ming's brows. Without stopping for even a moment, it charged towards his forehead. Su Ming did not dodge. A familiar connection between him and the wooden sword instantly rose in his heart, and he simply allowed the sword to touch the center of his brows. It pierced through his skin, and a drop of blood fell on the sword.
The wooden sword immediately shone with a purple light. It was the light formed when the red of blood and the black of wood fused together. When it shone, the blood on the sword was absorbed. Once it fused into the venous pathways of the wooden sword, it immediately swelled up and turned into a purple sword that was seven feet long. The sword whistled with a joy that seemed to have been suppressed for tens of thousands of years. As it echoed in the area, the sword started spinning rapidly around Su Ming.
As it rotated, the space around Su Ming distorted. The parts of the world he created around him also distorted, and a scene that looked like a black hole appeared. It was as if the sword could destroy all wills wherever it went.
"The Abyss Builders' race vessel, the one that is as famous as Great Berserker Tribe's Barren Cauldron … Seven Swords! This is the End of Wills Sword of the seven swords! " The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe appeared beside Su Ming. He stared at the spinning wooden sword around Su Ming, and disbelief appeared on his face.
"It … was actually preserved in such a perfect condition?!"
"There's something that I'm a little embarrassed to say. All of you should know that Heaven Defying Bead, Defying Immortal, and Devil Seeker have never asked for subscriptions.
"I've always thought that as long as I write seriously and obtain everyone's acknowledgment, then even if I don't subscribe for a short period of time, there will come a day when I'll feel that it's not easy for me to subscribe.
"But today … I'm not asking for subscriptions for myself, but for my younger brother." Ha … please understand and don't be disgusted. This child only has five subscriptions … and I'm one of them.
"He's still trying his best to persevere and use me as his role model, because I told him that if he persevered, he would succeed one day, but his parents are very worried …
"As his older brother, I want all of you to subscribe to him if you have the ability to do so and give him some encouragement. Thank you. I'll bow to you.
