Su Ming walked through the galaxy like a long arc. Wherever he went, the space behind him would shine with a dazzling light. It was as if rings of light were formed when he rubbed against the galaxy. There was a piercing whistle in the air, and wherever Su Ming went, the sky and earth would shake.
He did not intentionally hide his presence, neither did he intentionally spread out his will. He just walked calmly in space, and with an indifferent expression, he headed to … the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos, which was described in the jade slip with the map of Dark Dawn suppressing the Berserkers.
He wanted to go to the Spiritlings, the place where his mother was born and grew up. There was no reason for him to do so. He just wanted to take a look at that place. He was not returning to his roots, because Su Ming's roots were not there, and neither were they in the Fifth True World.
His roots were once in the land of Berserkers, and they were once in the ninth summit. But now, Su Ming's roots … were in his heart. Wherever he went was where his roots would be. They were not fixed, and neither were they catkins. Instead, they were a form of Will.
The Expanse Cosmos where the Spiritlings resided was very far away to a normal cultivator. They would usually need to fly for hundreds or even more than one thousand years before they could move from one Expanse Cosmos to another. Even if they used a Relocation Rune, the crystals they would need would be astronomical.
That was why there were few cultivators who had the right to move from Expanse Cosmos to another Expanse Cosmos in Dark Dawn's camp, and there was no need for them to move between Expanse Cosmos. Many cultivators would only spend their entire lives training in two or three Expanse Cosmoses.
However, once they reached Avacaniya Realm, everything would be different. They might not be able to move endlessly with just one thought, but it would be incredibly easy for them to move between Expanse Cosmoses. If that was the case for those in Avacaniya Realm, then it would be even more so for Su Ming. With each step he took, he would cross most of an Expanse Cosmos. Usually, with just two steps, he would cross one Expanse Cosmos.
Then, another barrier appeared in front of him. Based on the jade slip map in his head, that place … was the Expanse Cosmos where the Spiritlings resided.
Su Ming stood outside the barrier, but he did not immediately step in. Instead, he closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings quietly for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he lifted his foot and took a step forward. At the instant he touched the barrier, he disappeared. The bald crane had followed him all the way, and at that moment, it followed Su Ming into the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos.
However, at the instant Su Ming disappeared, ripples spread out in the distant galaxy, and Cang San Nu appeared. There was killing intent in his eyes, and there was an awe-inspiring look on his face. He swung his arm, and his body turned into a long arc that instantly closed in on the barrier of the Expanse Cosmos. As ripples spread out from the barrier like water, his body disappeared.
There was a huge block of ice floating in the galaxy of the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos. At that moment, the woman Su Ming had seen in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos opened her eyes.
Ever since Su Ming went to Yin Death Vortex, she chose to leave. She returned to Dark Dawn's camp through the gap between the three Sovereigns, and once she returned to the Spiritlings, she chose to isolate herself once more. Since she had already given Su Ming the sword and could not retrieve the power of the Spiritlings from him, she decided to give up resolutely and no longer pursue the matter. Besides being related to the previous Sacred Lady, the most important reason for all of this … was that Su Ming had awakened the Spiritlings' Dragon of Destruction.
Yet at that moment, when Su Ming stepped into the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos, the woman in the ice opened her eyes. A hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes, and she looked into the distance.
With her level of cultivation, it should have been impossible for her to notice Su Ming's arrival, but no matter what, she was the Spiritlings' Sacred Lady, and the will of the Dragon of Destruction contained in Su Ming's presence was like the brightest light in the dark to her. Because of it, she had immediately sensed him.
After all, besides her being the Sacred Lady, this Expanse Cosmos … was the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos. They had lived and multiplied in this Expanse Cosmos for countless years, causing it to be filled with endless Spiritlings' thoughts.
Su Ming's arrival caused the Spiritlings' thoughts to feel as if they were boiling. They sensed … the Dragon of Destruction's presence, which belonged to the supreme legends of the Spiritlings!
"Is he … here?" The woman fell silent. As she mumbled under her breath, she disappeared from the ice.
In the Spiritlings' Expanse Cosmos was a planet that was not particularly dazzling, but was an incredibly sacred place in the hearts of all Spiritlings. Its name was Violet Wisdom.
Violet Wisdom Planet was the place where all the previous Spiritlings' tribe leaders, Tribe Dukes, and Sacred Ladies died. The ancestors of the Spiritlings were buried in this place. If they died, they would be buried in this place.
The sky was blue, and there were not many stars in it. On the ground was a boundless ocean. This was a planet occupied by the ocean. Besides quite a large number of islands, there were no rather large continents on it.
The tribe leaders, Tribe Dukes, and Sacred Ladies of a certain generation were buried on each of the islands. They were densely packed together, and they were like stars in the ocean. They were protected by the Spiritlings day and night, and they had been passed down to the present day.
At that moment, Su Ming stood quietly in the sky above the planet and looked at the seawater beneath him. Waves surged in the seawater, and when they tumbled about, it looked as if there were sea dragons tumbling about in them. When it was calm, it looked like a mirror, but this mirror could not reflect a person's figure. It could only reflect the color of the sky.
Su Ming looked in the direction of Su Ming's gaze. He was looking at one of the many islands on the sea. It was not big, and it was surrounded by a layer of green. It was covered in plants, and there were three altars on it. This was the same as the other islands. Each island had three altars arranged in the shape of a triangle.
At the center was the Tribe Elder, to the right was the tribe leader, and to the left were the Sacred Ladies.
Su Ming looked over quietly. His gaze pierced through the distance and he saw that the Sacred Lady's tombstone on the left side of the island … was empty. All the islands on the sea with a Sacred Lady's tombstone would have the Sacred Lady's name and a record of her life on it. Only this island … did not have it!
This emptiness did not mean that she was still alive, because the living did not have a tombstone. However, since she had already died in the passage of time, yet there was no word on her tombstone, it was thought-provoking …
After a long while, Su Ming took a step forward. When he reappeared, he was already on the altar to the left of the island. He stood under the tombstone at the center of the altar and stared at the empty tombstone. There was not even a name on it. There was only a faint remnant of a soul that seemed to have been gathered together by the words on the tombstone and had already scattered into the air.
At the instant Su Ming sensed that remnant, his heart trembled. He stared at the tombstone in a daze and sensed … his mother's existence.
'Why is there no word on the tombstone..? Does she not want the descendants of the tribe to know of her existence, or … does she not want me to …' Su Ming fell silent. There was a slightly melancholic look on his face. He could not describe what he was feeling at that moment. There were complicated feelings, sighs, and anguish in his heart.
"Tell me, why?" Su Ming asked slowly while staring at the tombstone. His voice was no longer directed at the empty tombstone, but at the person who had appeared behind him at that moment.
That person was not Cang San Nu, but a woman. She was … the Spiritlings' Sacred Lady of this generation, the woman Su Ming had met in Arid Triad. She was … his aunt.
"Before her life ended, she left behind a will. Not a single word could be written on the tombstone of her race, because she felt … that she had let down the Spiritlings … She did not want the descendants of the tribe to know her name, she …" The woman who had appeared behind Su Ming hesitated for a moment. When her voice echoed in the air, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pushed it against the tombstone.
The woman was momentarily stunned. Her first reaction was that Su Ming wanted to shatter the tombstone. Her expression changed, and just as she was about to walk out, Su Ming had already lifted his hand. Some stone powder appeared on his palm, and there was the mark of the soul fragment on it. Su Ming held it in his hand and pushed it at the center of his brows. Immediately, the presence of time spread out from his body.
That presence disappeared without a trace. Su Ming turned around and took a step forward, disappearing from the woman's sight. She had no idea where he went, and her expression instantly changed …
"He …" She did not manage to finish her sentence. When she said those words, she stopped speaking. In silence, she cast a complicated look at the altar that represented the previous Tribe Elder of the tribe at the center. She sighed in her heart and turned around to leave.
But at the instant she was about to leave, Su Ming's figure appeared out of nowhere at the spot where he had disappeared. It was as if he had never disappeared. What had disappeared was just the figure in the woman's eyes.
When Su Ming executed the power of time, he would fuse himself into it to sense it, creating an illusion to others. In truth, he had always been there.
At the instant his figure appeared, Su Ming's expression turned dark. An anger that had not been seen for many years appeared in his eyes. This anger was not a small one, but a great rage that surged to the heavens!
When the weak were angry, they feared nothing in the world. When the strong were angry, they affected the universe. When cultivators were angry, their blood would spill in all directions, and when Almighties were angry … the world would no longer be desolated!
The others could see the ferocious expression on Su Ming's face. The flames in his eyes looked as if they could burn all lives, and he was like a volcano that was about to erupt and destroy the world.
"Nonsense!" There was a dark tone in Su Ming's voice. When he turned around, he cast a glance at the woman.
The woman's expression changed. At that moment, she felt as if Su Ming had turned into a murderous fiend from ancient times. With just one sentence and one gaze, the woman's heart immediately roared, and she felt as if she was about to break down. She instinctively took a few steps back.
However, the moment she moved back, Su Ming had already closed in on her. He lifted his right hand and seized her neck.
"I won't kill you …" At the instant Su Ming said those words coldly, he squeezed her neck with his right hand. With a bang, the woman's face turned pale, but not a single change could be detected on her. However, in the distant galaxy, the gigantic block of ice where she had isolated herself all year round instantly cracked, and with a bang, it shattered into pieces.
"I destroyed your Life Force Crystal as punishment for your silence in the past!"
The woman looked as if she wanted to say something, but when Su Ming said those words, her face instantly turned stark pale, and she no longer spoke. When Su Ming let go of her neck, she took a few steps back and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She cast a glance at the blank stone monument quietly, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Big sister, I'm sorry …"
"Now, it's your turn. You stole your race's kismet so that you could live forever … but today, your life will come to an end!" Su Ming turned around and lifted his head. His gaze instantly landed on the tombstone that represented the previous Tribe Elder of the Spiritlings on the three altars on the island.
