Once Ku Mu left, the boy in the cave abode had a slightly complicated expression on his face. He naturally knew Ku Mu's personality, but since Ku Mu was someone he had invited, it would not be appropriate for him to say anything. He could only cast a glance at Su Ming. The expression of the purple-robed old man had already calmed down, and he sighed in his heart. 'Looks like this Su Ming is not ruthless enough, or else he would definitely not have let Ku Mu escape.'
The young man in white swept his gaze past Su Ming. His expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
However, this was the first time they had gotten to know Su Ming, and they only had a superficial understanding of him. They did not know his true personality. If there was anyone who was familiar with Su Ming in the area, they would definitely understand that Ku Mu had most likely met his end.
Su Ming lifted his right hand and seized the air. Immediately, the wine cup filled with Ku Mu's blood landed in his hand. He cast a glance at the blood in it, and his third eye at the center of his brows shone. A wave of the power of the Curse instantly fused into the blood.
Immediately, the blood in the wine cup started boiling. When the boy and the others looked over, their hearts trembled. The blood flew out of the wine cup and turned into a small, blood-red humanoid in midair.
The small humanoid's appearance was clearly similar to Ku Mu's. Under the crowd's gazes, the small humanoid started trembling. As it did so, black smoke seeped out of its body and swiftly spread through it. This was Su Ming's Curse. In just the span of a few breaths, the small humanoid turned completely black. With a bang, it shattered and turned into black smoke that disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Ku Mu, who was charging forward with a heart filled with resentment, suddenly shuddered. When he lowered his head, he saw to his shock that a large amount of black spots had suddenly appeared on his withered body. Those black spots instantly covered his entire body, and in the midst of his terror, his body started corroding. As screams of pain rang out, in just the span of a few breaths, the body and soul of this famous powerful warrior in this Expanse Cosmos were destroyed in the galaxy!
The boy and the other two could not see this, but with their level of cultivation and experience, when they saw the small, blood-red humanoid turn black and disappear, they instantly understood what had happened.
Their gazes as they looked at Su Ming instantly became different.
"Haha, I haven't introduced this fellow Daoist Su Ming to all of you just now. Compared to the two of you who noticed the divine thought just now, this fellow Daoist Su's level of cultivation is extraordinary, and his origins are mysterious. We should get closer to him." A smile appeared on the boy's face, and he absolutely refused to mention Ku Mu. Once he finished speaking, he stood up and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming.
A warm smile appeared on the purple-robed old man's face. He looked at Su Ming kindly and wrapped his fist in his palm to greet him.
The white-robed young man's expression was no longer completely cold. When he looked at Su Ming, respect appeared on his face. As he wrapped his fist in his palm, he smiled at Su Ming.
Su Ming stood up and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the three of them. Once they greeted each other, they drank nectar under the boy's hospitality. A pair of beautiful women also appeared and started dancing, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
After three rounds of wine, the purple-robed old man hesitated for a moment before he looked towards Su Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you must be from … the outside world. What business do you have in this world?"
When the boy heard the words, he also looked towards Su Ming. He lifted his right hand and swung his arm. Immediately, the dancing boy and the boys around him retreated, causing the cave abode to fall silent once more.
Su Ming put down his wine cup and said faintly, "I've come to take a look at the gap leading to the Vast Expanse. I will have to ask you about it."
The purple-robed old man remained silent for a while before he said languidly, "That is Heaven Lacking Expanse Cosmos. To us, it is one of the two great mysterious regions."
"That's right. One of the two great mysterious regions is the gap you mentioned, fellow Daoist Su, and the other is the Mothership's Sacred Wood," the white-robed young man said calmly.
"I have gone to the gap you mentioned a few times before. Once I step out, I will find myself in a boundless Vast Expanse. There have been quite a number of fellow Daoists who have tried to search for it in the past, but once they tried to expand the area, almost none of them returned. All of them died …
"There is wind that can tear us apart, fog that can drown our souls, and countless strange living beings … However, most of them do not have intelligence. In fact, they do not even have corporeal bodies. It's as if they were born from the void.
"They will not get close to the Expanse Cosmos where we are …" The boy remained silent for a moment, then told Su Ming everything he knew.
Su Ming thought about it and asked, "What is the Mothership's Sacred Wood?"
"It's a giant tree that only a few people know of when it first appeared in this world. This tree has a natural restriction that can block all divine senses. It's extremely suitable for us to hibernate inside, so almost every time it's time to hibernate, we will hibernate there.
"Based on a person's level of cultivation and their bodies, the amount of time we need to sleep is different. Some only need thousands of years, and some need tens of thousands of years. But no matter what, the Sacred Wood's existence has reduced the amount of time we need to sleep.
"Fellow Daoist Su, you must be an Almighty who has fused with his other self. Then, you should have obtained a cave abode with the Sacred Wood to sleep in the future and wait for the next aeon to arrive." The person who answered Su Ming was the white-robed young man.
Clearly, they had no way of knowing that perhaps … there would not be another aeon.
"Is there … an ancient ship here?" Su Ming was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, he swept his gaze past the three people.
When he said that, all three of them narrowed their eyes. No one said anything, and the entire place instantly fell silent. It was as if even the rumbling that existed outside the planet had disappeared at that moment.
This scene caused a hint of a smile to appear at the corners of Su Ming's lips.
The purple-robed old man let out a few fake coughs and looked at the boy. The white-robed young man lowered his head, as if he did not hear Su Ming's question. Hesitation appeared on the boy's face, which was a rare sight.
After a long while, he smiled wryly and shook his head at Su Ming.
"I know, but I can't say it. I can only say … that there is a mysterious sect in Heaven Lacking Expanse Cosmos, and it is known as Life Extermination Hall.
"Speaking of the strength of that sect … even the three of us are just outer members of that sect. Almost all the people in the Sacred Wood are from that sect.
"Fellow Daoist Su … you should know a thing or two about the strength of that sect." When the boy said those words, he no longer spoke.
Su Ming nodded. Since the boy treated him politely, then since he did not want to speak and had something that was difficult for him to say, Su Ming would not force him to ask. He stood up and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the three people.
"If that is the case, then I will take my leave. If fate allows it … we will meet again." As Su Ming spoke, he moved, intending to leave. Suddenly, determination appeared in the boy's eyes, and he took a step forward.
"Fellow Daoist Su, don't be in a hurry to leave. I have three questions for you. If you can answer my questions, then even if I have to risk my life, I will still tell you some secrets."
Su Ming came to a halt, then turned around to look at the boy. At the instant the boy said those words, the expression of the purple-robed old man changed. He looked as if he wanted to leave, but in his hesitation, he gritted his teeth. When he lifted his right hand, he swung it in the direction of the cave abode above him. A layer of fog immediately filled the area and covered the entrance.
As for the white-robed young man, he didn't say anything, but instead, he used his actions to show what he was thinking. The sword behind him whistled through the air, but there was no killing intent within it. Instead, it transformed into a boundless power that floated about in the mist. Millions of souls emanated out from the sword, which spread out to form a sealing mark.
At the same time, the boy took a step forward, and the cave abode immediately started swaying violently. It started showing signs of sinking. If anyone looked at it from the galaxy, they would be able to see that the mountain range looked like it was being devoured by the ground. If anyone used their will to look, they would be able to see that a crack had appeared on the back of the huge ball of flesh. The cave abode had fused into its body, and it was using its body to form a seal.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. Not a single change could be detected on him. When the purple-robed man brought out the fog, he could tell that he did not intend to attack him. Instead, he wanted to seal the place. The goal of the seal was not to trap the person inside, but to prevent the divine senses and wills from the world outside from entering the place.
In fact, he even saw the boy lift his right hand, and a green log the size of a palm appeared in his hand. He placed it carefully on the table. When Su Ming looked over, his gaze immediately distorted. His divine sense could not enter the log in the slightest.
"The Sacred Wood?" Su Ming asked slowly.
The boy nodded and said solemnly, "I obtained this in the Vast Expanse. This is the first time I'm using it."
"What are the three questions you wanted to ask? You can speak now." Su Ming averted his gaze from the Sacred Wood and looked at the boy. Beside him, the purple-robed old man and the young man in white sat quietly. Clearly, the two of them had long since known what the boy wanted to ask.
"First question. Will the disaster that is about to descend this time be the end of our aeon, or … the end of Harmonious Morus Alba?" When the boy spoke, he stared at Su Ming's expression.
"Why do you ask this?" Su Ming's expression remained the same, but in his heart, he began to regard the boy with importance. A person who could ask this question was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Because I went to the Vast Expanse before and saw … the Harmonious Morus Alba we are in. It is just as the legends say … it is indeed a butterfly. I saw … a thick aura of death on it, and it was especially so in this aeon. The aura of death was so thick that it was as if it was a person who was about to die!
"Because you are clearly different from us. You are a person of this aeon, and if you are the strongest person of this aeon, then you have clearly surpassed all the strongest people of any aeon I have seen. Based on the origin and destruction of all life forms, only when a life is about to die will another type of strongest person born out of madness be born!
"If you are not the strongest of this aeon, then this matter … will be even more terrifying," the boy said in anguish.
"This is the end of this aeon, and perhaps it will also be the end of Harmonious Morus Alba." Su Ming was silent for a moment before he sighed softly.
Ahem, today's grand prize belongs to … EE, congratulations, you have obtained the Love Picture! Your powerful message has completely conquered me … Also, looks like I really have to go wash my clothes. I'm frowning …
