As if its anger had reached an unbearable point, the bald crane was just about to let out a shrill cry and charge back at the women who it felt had humiliated it when Zi Ruo, who was in front of Su Ming, voiced her obedience softly. Then, she turned into a long arc and led the way.
Su Ming's expression was calm. With a step forward, he followed Zi Ruo into the distant galaxy. By his side, Yan Pei also instantly followed. When the bald crane saw that these people had left, it immediately stopped in the middle of charging forward and glared at the women fiercely. Under the women's coquettish smiles and the enchanting looks on their faces, the bald crane immediately felt deflated. It could not even say anything harsh. It turned around and used its fastest speed to leave the place as if it was fleeing.
The pink galaxy in the Heavenly Foxes' Expanse Cosmos had a unique beauty to it. After moving forward for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zi Ruo stopped. The color of the galaxy in front of her had changed. It was no longer pink, but black. That black color was like a vortex, but it did not move. It was as if it had been still.
It formed a stark contrast with the pink color in the area. The black, still vortex might not be rotating, but it still gave off a feeling that it could devour everything.
In fact, when a person's gaze landed on it, they would feel as if they were about to be sucked away, causing them to feel as if the black, still vortex was distorting. In truth, the vortex was not distorting. What was distorting was the people's gazes.
A faint presence filled the vortex. Even Zi Ruo and Yan Pei could not detect it. Only Su Ming could. At the instant his gaze landed on the vortex, he immediately sensed its existence.
'I knew it …' Su Ming's pupils shrank in a barely noticeable manner. That presence was very unique. It did not belong to Harmonious Morus Alba, but … the Vast Expanse!
That presence came from the Vast Expanse!
'There's the presence of the Vast Expanse in the vortex. The function of the vortex is …' Su Ming observed it carefully and frowned. He could not tell what its function was, but he was certain that it was definitely not Old Man Extermination's tomb.
Su Ming stared at the vortex and asked Zi Ruo by his side, "There are four of these tombs?"
"There are indeed four, but for some reason, two of them have disappeared from their Expanse Cosmoses. One of the remaining two is here, and the other is in Tiger Cage's Expanse Cosmos," Zi Ruo quickly said.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment. He took a step forward, but just as he was about to step into the vortex to see what was going on, Zi Ruo gritted her teeth and immediately took a few steps forward.
"Senior Su, please wait. The Old Man Extermination's tomb is in the Expanse Cosmos of the Heavenly Foxes. Old Man Extermination might be a legendary senior, but since his tomb is in this place, it is inevitable that we will explore it. Over the years, we have gained a great understanding of it. If you have any needs, I can guide you." Once Zi Ruo finished speaking, she looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence before he turned his head around to cast a glance at Zi Ruo. When he saw the strange sparkle in her eyes, he nodded.
"Lead the way." As Su Ming spoke, he moved towards the vortex. Zi Ruo's spirits immediately lifted. A smile appeared on her pretty face, and she flew over to guide him.
As for the bald crane, a thought appeared in its head. Just as it was about to follow, Yan Pei immediately raised his hand and grabbed it, causing the bald crane to fly into a rage. It thought that Yan Pei was humiliating it again, and just as it was about to fly into a rage, Yan Pei sighed.
"Forget it. Since you don't appreciate my kindness and are willing to follow me, then I will not stop you."
"Hmm? What do you mean? "The bald crane was momentarily stunned. It blinked, then asked with a cold harrumph.
Yan Pei stared at the bald crane and said with a profound tone, "Can't you tell that Zi Ruo is the one who asked to follow us?"
"So what? If she wants to follow us, then so be it. Why is she the only one who needs to follow us and not me? I'm telling you, Little Yan Zi, there might be quite a lot of crystals hidden in this ancient tomb! " The bald crane laughed coldly and spoke in disdain. Just as it was about to turn around and follow Yan Pei, Yan Pei let out a long sigh again.
This sigh immediately caused the bald crane's hair to stand on end. It turned around and glared at Yan Pei again.
"Damn it, what are you shouting for, old ghost?! If you want to say something, then say it directly! I don't have the time to let my imagination run wild!"
"Zi Ruo is a beauty. She asked to follow us on her own, and our master did not reject her. Say … is there …" Yan Pei sighed in his heart and began to explain in detail.
"There's passion?" The bald crane immediately followed up and lifted its claw to scratch its head.
When the bald crane spoke, Su Ming and Zi Ruo had already stepped into the black vortex and disappeared without a trace. Before he stepped in, Su Ming turned his head around to cast a glance at the bald crane. When he saw that it did not follow them, he ignored it. The bald crane's safety would not be a problem in Dark Dawn's camp.
Besides, with the bald crane's cunning, when its life was in danger, it would usually come up with astonishing schemes, or else it would have been impossible for the crane to live a good life before it followed Su Ming.
The indescribably powerful divine ability it possessed when its presence rose, which gave the crane the ability to scam others for food and drink out of thin air.
Su Ming would not talk about the bald crane for the time being. Once he stepped into the still black vortex, a glint appeared in his eyes, and he looked around him.
"There are three layers to Old Man Extermination's tomb. Based on the investigations conducted by quite a number of people in Heavenly Fox Tribe over the years, the structure of the three layers is like the three layers of heaven, earth, and man." The first layer is the sky. This is a boundless sky, and there are all sorts of screens in the sky, making it impossible for people to find the entrance to the next layer.
"The second layer is the earth. It is a boundless land. The different terrains are connected together to form a boundless hell whose end cannot be seen.
"As for the last layer, it is the man. But since ancient times, only one person in Heavenly Fox Tribe has successfully stepped into that place. Once he left behind a jade slip in the second layer, we lost all contact with that ancestor." Zi Ruo's voice reached Su Ming's ears. He looked around him. This place was blue sky.
His front, back, left, right, and even up and down were all part of the sky. The blue sky was endless, and there were white clouds floating in the air. When he was in this place, he felt as if he was standing in the sky. In fact, when Su Ming swept his divine sense outwards, he found that even with the strength of his divine sense, he could not see whether there was any land in the sky.
He could not see it!
This sort of thing was impossible for Su Ming, because the strength of his divine sense came from his will, but it just so happened. There was only one possibility for this — there was some sort of seal in this place that Su Ming could not understand, and it was precisely because of it that the sky in this place was endlessly large.
If he tried to search for its depths, he might just end up walking in circles. He would end up going through a continuous cycle without even knowing it.
"If you can't find the entrance to the second layer, then how did your people manage to step into the second layer?" Su Ming asked calmly.
Zi Ruo smiled sweetly. She turned her head around to look at Su Ming. At that moment, she looked as if there was spring in her eyes. Her nimble eyes were intelligent, and her small, cherry-like lips were red. She looked incredibly beautiful, and the two locks of hair by her cheeks fluttered gently in the wind, adding to her alluring charm.
She tucked up her hair. Zi Ruo was dressed in a long pink dress. Her waist was small, and she looked like a dazzling picture. It was so beautiful that it was flawless, so beautiful that it seemed otherworldly.
Zi Ruo knew just how beautiful she was, and she also knew exactly where and how she should express her beauty. For example, there was wind in the sky at that moment, and her hair was lifted. She would immediately use that wind to make her beauty bloom before Su Ming's eyes.
"Heh heh, even if you're an old monster with great power, I refuse to believe that you won't be tempted." Zi Ruo smiled sweetly while looking at Su Ming, but as she continued looking at him, she saw him frown.
"I'm asking you a question," Su Ming said with a frown. The woman before him was indeed beautiful, but in his eyes, she seemed to be a little slow.
Su Ming's words immediately caused Zi Ruo's beauty, which was like that of a peacock spreading its tail, to instantly crumble. All of her previous actions and the seduction hidden within her were instantly torn to shreds.
"… That's because there is some strange wind in the first layer. Once it turns into a vortex, it will open the entrance to the second layer in an unseen manner, and it can suck people in.
"But not everyone can be sucked in. Some can enter the second layer smoothly, and some are rejected. In fact, some even die.
"Also, there is an ethereal spirit in the first layer. That ethereal spirit has no form, but it can absorb your Qi and blood. The longer you stay here, the weaker you will become.
Also, the sky here is different. Right now, we are in a clear sky, but if we continue forward, we will soon see other kinds of sky, such as a thundery sky, a cloudy sky, a foggy sky, a snowy sky, a rainy sky … Each different kind of sky contains a different kind of spirit. These spirits are strong and weak. The weak ones can't even withstand a single blow, and the strong ones will be hard to deal with even for Avacaniya Realm experts.
"But no matter what, the first layer isn't dangerous. The true danger lies in the second layer." Zi Ruo felt angry, but she could not show it. That was why, in her gloominess, she decided to say everything in one go.
While Su Ming was in the first layer of Old Man Extermination's tomb, in the third layer of Old Man Extermination's tomb, there was a Rune in the vast expanse known as the Land of Men. At that moment, there were three figures standing in it, waiting for the Rune to be activated.
They were the three black-robed men Su Ming had not been able to detect!
Several breaths later, the Rune shone, and the three figures disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in another world …
It was a world filled with booming sounds. Over the course of countless years, the place had been filled with powerful booms, as if it was a world of sound.
The galaxy trembled. Ripples spread out, and booming sounds filled the area. The three black-robed men appeared in front of a huge ship.
The ship had an ancient air to it, as if it had come from ancient times. It floated in the galaxy, and behind it … was a huge gap.
It looked as if it had been torn apart, and beyond it … was a vast expanse of space!
