'If this is another All Spirits Hall, then could there also be … an old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe here?' Su Ming stared at the spirits and mummies in the sky who had terror on their faces as they tumbled backwards in shock. With a calm expression, he turned his head around and looked into the distance.
A contemplative look appeared on his face. Su Ming took a step forward, and his body instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the distance. There was a mountain there.
Su Ming was familiar with it. It was the mountain where the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had been in the past. However … when Su Ming scanned the area with his Atman, he did not find anything familiar about the mountain.
'Perhaps there is indeed another old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but it's … unlikely that he is still here.' Su Ming shook his head. Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba might have the same lives in these two Expanse Cosmoses, but even so, they had different lives.
For example, Su Ming was the other Child of Morus Alba in this Expanse Cosmos.
When he shook his head, Su Ming turned into a long arc and left into the distance. When he appeared in the ruins of Great Berserker Tribe, where he had his first spirit ascension, he appeared on the towering Spirit Ascension Platform. With a swing of his arm, he sat down cross-legged.
The wind was very strong, and it was especially so on the towering Spirit Ascension Platform. In fact, Su Ming could even hear the moans of the wind by his ears.
His long hair danced in the wind. His long robes fluttered in the wind, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes. He lifted his head and stared at the sky. A hint of determination and resolve appeared on his face.
"Spirit ascension!" A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes, and a voice that echoed in the entire world tumbled out of his mouth. At the instant it appeared, the power of the Berserkers in Su Ming's body erupted with a bang and turned into ripples that spread in all directions.
Based on the path of spirit ascension he had experienced before, Su Ming triggered the presence of the All Spirits Hall to descend. The world roared, and the sky distorted as if it was about to be torn apart. A gigantic hall descended with a bang. It was golden, and it was filled with a piercing light. At the instant it appeared, the entire world trembled.
Beside the great hall, one could see a broken hall filled with failed creatures. That was the Spirit Descending Hall! However, the difference in size between the Spirit Descending Hall and the majestic golden hall was extremely obvious. It was like a child and a strong man.
When the golden light from the palace reached one hundred thousand feet and enveloped the world, Su Ming saw the familiar sign erected in front of the palace. There were two words carved clearly on it.
All Spirits!
Su Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. Only one hall had appeared, which meant that Su Ming's guess was correct. The All Spirits Hall was indeed not the one he had visited in Arid Triad before, but one that existed in Harmonious Morus Alba.
Different halls would appear based on the number of spirit ascensions. The Spirit Descension Hall was not included. Right then, there was only one golden hall, which meant … that Su Ming could have his spirit ascend for the first time in this place!
At that instant, as the golden light in the hall shone, thousands of Ancestral Spirits appeared!
There were ten rows in total, and there were both men and women. They all wore simple and unadorned robes as they floated outside the golden palace.
The person at the top shone with golden light that reached one hundred thousand feet. He was filled with a mighty pressure that could suffocate others. Below him were three people, and below them were eight, seventeen, thirty-nine, eighty-six, and the final eight hundred and eighty-one people.
Two thousand six hundred and three Ancestral Spirits!
Su Ming sat cross-legged on the Spirit Ascension Platform. His eyes shone brightly when he looked at the 781st Ancestral Spirit in the row at the bottom of the platform.
Su Ming had already received the legacy of that Ancestral Spirit once in Arid Triad's All Spirits Hall. Right then, when he received it again, confidence appeared on his face, and he slowly stood up.
"Today … I will have my spirit ascend to its peak in this place!" As Su Ming mumbled, he moved swiftly in midair and instantly flew up. He charged towards the 781st Ancestral Spirit in the last row and closed in on it.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ming's body came into contact with the Ancestral Spirit. Booming sounds surged into the sky, and Su Ming shuddered. A brilliant light shone in his eyes, and his body shuddered slightly, but his expression remained the same. There were not many changes on his face.
His aura rose swiftly at that moment, and waves of power rose in Su Ming's body. As he fused with the Ancestral Spirit and absorbed it, a mighty pressure that shook the sky and earth erupted from Su Ming's body.
The feeling that he was constantly becoming stronger caused Su Ming to throw his head back and let out a long roar. As he did so, the strength of his physical body increased exponentially. His soul, his state of being, and his cultivation base also rose swiftly at that instant. They completely surpassed what they were before and stepped into a new Realm.
Su Ming could not tell just what this Realm was, but he could sense that as he became stronger, the 781st Ancestral Spirit was disappearing right before his eyes.
This was not an illusion disappearing. It was … truly disappearing. It was as if if Su Ming fused with all of them, then from then on, one of the Ancestral Spirits in All Spirits Hall would disappear for all eternity.
From then on, no one else would be able to fuse with the Ancestral Spirit. This was something that had never happened before since ancient times. It was a complete inheritance and absorption.
About several hours passed. At the instant the 781st Ancestral Spirit completely disappeared, an indescribably powerful presence erupted from Su Ming's body. It was so strong that it caused everything around Su Ming to distort. It was as if if he wanted to destroy the universe, he could instantly make it crumble.
That strength gave Su Ming the confidence that he could fight against the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, because at that moment, Su Ming had gone through his first spirit ascension in a complete manner. It was equivalent to him going through two incomplete spirit ascensions!
If that was all, perhaps Su Ming would not be able to shake those in Avacaniya Realm, much less fight against the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe … but Su Ming had the wills of three True Worlds. His will was so strong that it was enough for him to do everything.
So what if … they were in Avacaniya Realm?!
Spirit ascension had always been a shortcut. It was a legacy that was similar to cheating. It turned the powerful warriors from the previous aeon into the cause, and then turned them into the effect of the current aeon. They turned the path of karma into a path that allowed them to become incredibly powerful!
This was a legacy. It was also another form of struggle and resistance from the cultivators from the previous aeon. They fought against the heavens and fought against the disaster when it descended and destroyed them. Perhaps their method was not as good as Arid Triad's in the past, but … it was also a form of resistance and madness.
Since they could not prevent themselves from dying, then they might as well … turn everything they had into a legacy so that their descendants and the people of the next aeon would have a shortcut to obtain power that could allow them to struggle and resist!
This was the goal behind the creation of the All Spirits Hall!
Perhaps … the All Spirits Hall might seem to have been created by the Ancestral Spirits of the previous aeon who had survived the disaster, but now that Su Ming learned of the secrets of Harmonious Morus Alba and Arid Triad, he had his own thoughts.
Perhaps the Ancestral Spirits had used a unique method to survive the disaster, but there was also a possibility that they had eventually fused with their other selves from Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, which was why … they could survive the disaster.
This was just a guess. Su Ming did not know the specifics, and it was difficult for anyone to know the secret hidden in the passage of time.
However, there was another guess in Su Ming's mind that was verified. He did not believe that the All Spirits Hall was created by the cultivators from the previous aeon. Instead … it had been created a long, long time ago, aeon after aeon.
There were two thousand something Ancestral Spirits in the All Spirits Hall, and all the strongest people who had existed for countless aeons were gathered in them. They might have died, but they had passed down their cultivation bases from aeon to aeon. They had accumulated their power over countless years to leave behind … a chance for their descendants to break through everything.
This was a strong feeling that rose in Su Ming's mind once he completely fused with the 781st Ancestral Spirit. A brilliant light shone in his eyes, and with a single move, he made his choice without any hesitation …
Second spirit ascension!
563!
The 563rd position of the Ancestral Spirit on the second row was Su Ming's choice. He moved and instantly touched the Ancestral Spirit's position.
It was an old man with an ancient face. At the instant Su Ming's body touched him, an astonishing presence erupted from the Ancestral Spirit that was the old man.
"Second spirit ascension!" A resolute look appeared on Su Ming's face. As he mumbled under his breath, he sucked in a sharp breath!
…..
When Su Ming went through his second spirit ascension in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' All Spirits Hall, there were countless cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier beside the huge gap in True Morning Dao World in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
They surrounded the area and set up a large number of Runes to support the tear in the gap, causing it to become larger and larger, allowing cultivators to descend into it at every moment.
This was the core of Saint Defier and Dark Dawn in Arid Triad. As long as they guarded this place, they could have an endless stream of cultivators continuously appear.
However, at that moment, not a single cultivator descended into Arid Triad's gap, which was a rare sight. All the cultivators from Dark Dawn knelt down with zealous looks on their faces. As for the cultivators from Saint Defier, their expressions were dark, and they did not say a single word.
Time trickled by. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a loud bang that shook the sky and earth suddenly came from the empty gap in Arid Triad. It echoed through all of True Morning Dao World, and a sea of white bones instantly descended from the gap with loud bangs.
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes walked out of the gap with a cold expression on his face and descended into Arid Triad.
At the instant he appeared, True Morning Dao World trembled. In fact, even True Sacred Yin World, the Emperor of Abyss' True World, and the Fourth True World shuddered, as if they could not withstand the indistinct, heinous pressure spreading out from his body.
"Greetings, Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei!" The voices from all the cultivators from Dark Dawn's camp instantly roared like thunder. Their voices were like waves that were filled with great respect and zeal. It was as if this person's appearance was akin to an emperor descending upon all of Dark Dawn's camp!
