"Sir, what is your purpose in coming here?!" The boy grinned. His smile was incredibly exaggerated, and the corners of his lips tore down to his earlobes to reveal a ghastly mouth filled with countless sharp teeth.
As he smiled, the gigantic ball of flesh beneath him began to wriggle, emanating a threatening aura.
"I don't mean anything. I just happened to pass by this place and wanted to see the strangeness of this planet." When Su Ming asked faintly, his eyes returned to normal. He could sense an ancient presence from the boy. It was clear that he was a cultivator who had fused with his other self an unknown number of aeons ago and obtained the right to not be destroyed in the disaster.
The cultivator's level of cultivation was so great that he had already reached the middle stage of Avacaniya Realm, which was why he could wake up, but he could only wake up in this place. He could not leave the fourth Expanse Cosmos, or else he would immediately fall into deep sleep again.
Su Ming had seen many powerful warriors like this when he swept through the area with his will, and the boy was just one of them.
The boy fell into a moment of pensive silence before he put away his smile and looked at Su Ming. "If that's the case, then you are a guest from afar. Fellow Daoist, are you willing to descend to my planet and drink from it?"
"If you come, I can gather some good friends. I believe they will be very interested in your origins." The boy smiled faintly. That smile looked incredibly innocent. He stomped on the ground lightly, and the meatball beneath him shuddered. When distortions appeared, no matter how Su Ming looked at it with his naked eye, he could still see a cultivation planet filled with life.
Unless he used his will to sweep through it, he would not be able to find any clues. Clearly, the boy did not want others to see the ugliness of this place, which was why he had spared no pains to use his power to cover the ball of flesh.
Su Ming cast the boy a glance. His expression was calm, and not a single change could be detected. He did not care whether the boy harbored any ill intentions. After all, with Su Ming's current level of cultivation, there were indeed few who could pose a threat to him in all of Harmonious Morus Alba's four-winged Expanse Cosmos.
Arid Triad could be counted as one, but it was impossible for him to attack again within a short period of time. As for Harmonious Morus Alba … with Arid Triad keeping it in check, the butterfly's will had already become incredibly timid.
If there was anyone, then Old Man Extermination was the only one left.
However, this person had hidden himself for a long time and never showed himself. Clearly, he did not want to immediately fight to the death against Su Ming and determine the victor of the battle. Instead, he had great ambitions. His words allowed Su Ming to guess that he had already gained an absolute position in Harmonious Morus Alba's Expanse Cosmos.
"Such an advantage might only last for another 400 years or so." Su Ming sighed in his heart. He knew that if the black-robed young man truly came, then the moment he did so would be the moment everything would truly be destroyed. Harmonious Morus Alba, Arid Triad, the disaster, and all forms of new life would cease to exist.
Even he … might not be able to continue existing in that sort of destruction. Perhaps the only path before him was to be like Old Man Extermination. He could only watch the world he was in disappear and his family and friends die. He could only … leave alone with hatred, madness, and a darkness that covered the night sky.
This sort of understanding made Su Ming remember the scene in the secrets of the universe when he was in the Heavenly Incense Rune …
He still could not understand why he had slaughtered his way into Dark Dawn and Saint Defier when he saw countless corpses in the secrets of the universe in the Heavenly Incense Rune. He had slaughtered most of the lives in the two camps to become the so-called Demon Paragon.
'What is a Demon?' Su Ming had thought about this question before, but even then, he did not have too many answers. The only clue he had was … that Old Man Extermination was connected to Dark Dawn.
But that was just one clue.
This thought flashed in Su Ming's mind. He looked at the boy and nodded slowly. He took a step forward and instantly descended on the illusory cultivation planet. He stepped on the mountainside of the cultivation planet and stood in front of the boy.
The sky was blue. The mountain breeze was gentle and brought with it a hint of coolness. It blew at the grass on the ground, and the cows and sheep in the distance seemed to be eating them gently. The boy leaned against the mountain rock. There was a smile on his face, and it was filled with innocence and innocence, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see an aloofness that came from his bones in his eyes.
The world was very big. As he stood there, Su Ming seemed to be able to hear the bustling voices in the cultivation planet. He could see quite a number of cultivators fighting against each other, be it because of some squabbles or some disputes.
He could sense that there were quite a number of babies being born in the cultivation planet, and at the same time, quite a number of people dying. Everything formed a perfect cycle of life and death.
"This divine ability isn't bad," Su Ming said faintly after a long while.
"Fellow Daoist, you praise me too much." The boy smiled faintly. He swung his right hand, and the mountain where he was immediately distorted. When it became clear again, it had turned into an existence that looked like the mouth of a volcano. The sunken spot was a platform, and the area around it was surrounded by walls. Above it was the blue sky. This place … was a cave abode.
A huge table was placed at the center. The cows and sheep around it had all turned into boys, and they were carrying fruits and nectar. They placed them back and forth on the table.
Su Ming sat by the side, and the boy sat across from him. When their gazes met, the boy continued smiling. He brought out a jade slip and pressed it against the center of his brows. After a moment, the jade slip started burning on the boy's forehead.
"After a moment, an extremely good friend of mine will come. I haven't introduced myself yet. Due to the disaster of my aeon, I chose to forget my real name. My Daoist name has also continuously changed as I gained epiphanies over the years. Right now, fellow Daoist, you can call me … Ban Bu Zi." As the boy spoke, he lifted his wine cup and looked at Su Ming.
Daoist name was not a title used in Su Ming's aeon. Clearly, it was a title that belonged to the boy many aeons ago. Su Ming picked up his wine cup and spoke softly.
"Su Ming."
"Fellow Daoist Su, you are a guest who has come from afar. Today, I will hold a feast for you." The boy laughed, picked up his wine cup, and drank from it in one gulp. Then, he lifted his cup with both hands and tilted it to show that he had finished his wine.
Su Ming's smile was faint. He lifted his wine cup and drank from it. Once the wine entered his stomach, it turned into a wave of heat that flowed through his entire body. Then, it surged through his entire body and charged to his throat, turning into an indescribable spiciness.
But that spiciness only lasted for a breath before it turned into a fragrant sweetness. When a person opened their mouth, their breath would be filled with that sweetness.
"How is it?" The boy lifted his head and cast his gaze on Su Ming.
"Very good." Su Ming closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment. When he opened them, praise appeared in his eyes. Even if he did not know how to drink, he could sense that the wine could indeed be considered nectar.
"I, Ban Bu Zi, have always invited my fellow Daoists to drink my wine. Even in Heaven Lacking Expanse Cosmos, there are only a handful of people who have the right to drink my wine." There was a smile on the boy's face. He put down his wine cup in a slightly prideful manner and lifted his head to look at the sky above him.
"You're bragging again. If it wasn't because you added the blood of the strange beasts from the universe beyond into your wine, how could it be so intoxicating? Come, hurry up and prepare a pot for me." When a hoarse and long string of laughter rang out, a huge face appeared in the sky above him. It charged down to the ground, but it did not grow larger. Instead, it became smaller. In an instant, it descended and turned into an old man dressed in a long purple robe. He was tall, and while there might be quite a lot of wrinkles on his face, it could be seen that he had been a handsome man when he was young.
At that moment, he turned into a ray of purple light and instantly appeared beside the boy. He picked up the wine cup on the table and finished it in one gulp. Then, he let out a long sigh and sat down by the side.
"Fellow Daoist, you must be the person who spread out your divine thought just now, right?" The moment the purple-robed old man sat down, he immediately looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming smiled faintly, but did not speak. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the sky above him. At that moment, a person had appeared in the sky at some unknown point of time. It was a young man dressed in a long white robe. His face was aloof, and there was a huge sword strapped to his back. An incredibly fierce presence spread out from his body, and as he took a step forward, he walked into the cave abode and sat down on the other side of the boy.
Before the boy could introduce them, a wild and ghastly cackle came from the sky and turned into a wisp of black smoke. As it rotated rapidly, a mummy could be seen within it. That mummy was so withered that it looked like a skeleton. Only its eyes shone with a dark light, and it was walking towards them with the black smoke. It only took three steps before it appeared in the cave abode. Once it swept its gaze past the crowd coldly, its gaze froze when it looked towards Su Ming.
"Old Black Fiend is in isolation in his coffin, so I reckon that he won't be able to come. Now, we can be considered to have gathered here. My fellow Daoists, today, I have invited this fellow Daoist Su Ming to come and get to know him. This can be considered a serendipity." The boy swept his gaze past the crowd and laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Su Ming, I will first introduce these three people to you. This purple-robed old man is the strongest person during the era of Martial Will. I've forgotten what his name is, but everyone calls him Reverend Zi." As the boy introduced him, the purple-robed old man nodded at Su Ming. It might have been the first time they met, but the purple-robed old man was incredibly wary of Su Ming, and he was also slightly unwilling to submit to him. If it was not because of that, he would not have come personally.
"As for this fellow Daoist, he has a great reputation in Heaven Lacking Expanse Cosmos, and he is also the strongest in his aeon. He is Sword Immortal Li Han. This person has attacked 3,97,891 times, and every single time, a person will die," the boy continued introducing Su Ming.
"It's 3,97,892 times. When I came here, I ran into an idiot, and I drew my sword and killed him," Li Han said faintly. When he looked at Su Ming, a fierce glare appeared in his eyes.
"And this person …" The boy cast a glance at the figure that was as thin as a skeleton. Before he could finish speaking, the person cackled and spoke on his own.
"I am Ku Mu, and I like to devour flesh and blood. Unfortunately, there are only two chances for me to do so in every aeon. Now that I think about it, that day is not too far away. Perhaps hundreds of years later, there will be people who know you, fellow Daoist Su." When Ku Mu said those words, the boy instantly frowned.
I was very gloomy today … because my wife asked me to wash clothes in the morning. When I saw the pile of clothes, I immediately scowled. There was nothing I could do about it. This month, it was my turn to wash clothes … After all, I was the one who said that I wanted to do housework to lose weight and that I would never use a washing machine …
But then an idea popped up in my head. I said that I had to update three chapters today and that I had to communicate with the readers in my Reputation Column. I even brought out the air of a man and told her that my Reputation Column had exceeded one hundred thousand, and she still dared to order me to do chores? Believe it or not, with just one comment, one hundred thousand people would accuse her of abusing me.
Thus, I was ridiculed. Because I had just finished reading last night, the number of Reputation Columns was around 92,000. At most, it would increase by a few thousand a day. Today, it would not reach one hundred thousand …
Thus, I made a bet with her that I would definitely reach one hundred thousand by ten o 'clock tonight. If I did not reach one hundred thousand, I would wash my clothes even if I did not sleep. A man must keep his word, especially in front of a woman. If I really did not reach one hundred thousand, I would really have to wash my clothes, and it would take a long time … If that was the case, I would probably not be able to update three chapters tomorrow if my hand cramps …
And if it exceeded one hundred thousand, hehe, today, I would be the owner of the house. (Here, let's talk about my family's status. The first is my daughter, the second is her, the third is me, and the fourth is a shriveled eggplant …) I beg for attention, I beg not to lose. If I lose, I will really have to frown. Fellow Daoists, pick up your cell phones and turn on your Reputation Column. As a man, I cannot lose. Search for my public account to guarantee that I will be the owner of the house today ~ ~ I nervously wait …
If I win, I will post a picture of myself proudly as the owner! If I lose … I definitely cannot lose ~ ~
