After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming swept his gaze across the area. In the end, when he averted his gaze, his expression turned calm. With a step forward, he grabbed the specter in his hand and walked towards the gap in Harmonious Morus Alba's fourth wing.
He drew closer to the gap. When Su Ming stepped into it, not a single one of the strange life forms appeared behind him. It was as if the battle had caused Su Ming to become the master of the area in the hearts of the strange life forms in the area.
Only when he stepped into the gap did the specter in his hand struggle weakly again. When Su Ming entered Harmonious Morus Alba's world, the specter immediately shuddered. Its body contorted as if it was about to be wiped off. A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he pushed outwards with his right hand. Immediately, the specter was sent out of the gap in the Vast Expanse.
The specter who was fortunate enough to not die was momentarily stunned in the Vast Expanse beyond the gap. It might not have much intelligence, but it knew that it had nearly died just then. At that moment, it looked at Su Ming, who was in the gap.
As it stared at him, a hint of respect appeared in the specter's eyes. Then, it turned around and disappeared without a trace.
Su Ming watched the specter disappear, and a contemplative look appeared in his eyes. The lives in the Vast Expanse did not have much intelligence, but they still possessed the most basic instincts. Su Ming could see the respect in the specter, but he was slightly hesitant. Based on the intelligence of the lives, it was always easier for them to hate someone than to be grateful.
The lives who only knew their instincts could hate, but if they wanted to learn how to be grateful, they needed intelligence. While Su Ming was deep in thought, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He remembered the distortions that had appeared on the specter's body when it was brought into Harmonious Morus Alba's world.
'Could it be that this is the reason why they gathered around the dying Harmonious Morus Alba? Could it be that … they could gain some form of intelligence in this place?
'And that huge specter … had a world in his body! Even though there were no lives in that world, I can imagine that if it reached the later stage of Avacaniya Realm, it might be able to give birth to life.
'Perhaps it's impossible even if it's in the later stage. It needs to reach great completion in Avacaniya Realm! 'No matter what level of cultivation it takes for life to appear in its own Expanse Cosmos … the lives born in the Vast Expanse are the same as Harmonious Morus Alba. They can create their own Cosmos!
'If all of this is true, then does the black-robed young man also have a world in his body? And by the looks of it, that world is clearly even larger than Harmonious Morus Alba's?' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and a bold guess rose in his head.
"Worlds.... Countless mortals live on their own planets, looking at the blue skies and white clouds, watching the sun and moon alternate. They live out their short lives, completely unaware that the world they live in is actually... the body of some bizarre life form in the Vast Expanse.
'No matter how many schemes are involved, how much love and hate are entangled, compared to the true will of the entire world and the entire Vast Expanse, they are insignificant …' Su Ming sighed softly. These were his guesses, but he knew that they were infinitely close to the truth.
"What is the ultimate goal of cultivation? For longevity …? That's narrow-minded." Su Ming turned around and cast a glance at the galaxy of the Expanse Cosmos. He no longer bothered himself with the hidden Old Man Extermination and his ancient ship. With his questions and epiphany, he walked towards the galaxy.
'If I practice cultivation for longevity, then how many people know what it means to live forever? Even Arid Triad can't live forever. Would the black-robed young man dare to say that he can live forever?
'Everything in the world has a beginning and an end. Longevity … is just relative. The true goal of cultivation is to seek the truth!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and his footsteps became even more determined.
'To seek the truth and to seek an answer to our questions … is the ultimate goal of cultivation for us cultivators. Becoming stronger and having a longer lifespan are just accessories on the path of seeking the truth.
'If I seek the truth, I will also seek to cultivate the truth!
'If I seek to know, I will also seek to understand the truth. I, Su Ming, cultivate because I want to seek an answer to my questions. It is as if I have heard of Dao. Even if I am born in the morning and die in the evening … I can die with a smile.' As Su Ming gained an epiphany, an unfathomable presence gradually appeared around him. There was not much of it at that moment. There was only a hint of it, but it caused Su Ming's body to look as if it was about to become transparent in the galaxy. It was as if he had transcended beyond Harmonious Morus Alba at that moment!
'But it doesn't matter whether it is the truth or the truth, it is all for the sake of dispelling my doubts, but the word' dispelling 'alone has already determined … that the path of cultivation … has no end.
'Because you will never know where the end is, because … on the path of cultivation, there is only a difference in how far you walk, but the end will never appear.'
Su Ming laughed. There was a carefreeness in his smile, along with an epiphany. Gradually, his laughter grew louder, and he left into the galaxy.
'I live in Harmonious Morus Alba's wings, but whose finger does Harmonious Morus Alba live in? If the life that flicks its finger lifts its head, can it see the blink of the other life it lives in? And when that blink of the other life laughs at its world, can it understand that its existence is perhaps within the Heavenly Hook of a scholar's stroke?
'As for the sky that the scholar looks at, whose eyes do they belong to …
'There is no end, just like … there is no end to Dao.
'I, Su Ming, do not ask for too much. I only hope that they are my eyes!' Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. When he lifted his head, a determined light shone in his eyes, and he slowly mumbled those words.
When Su Ming said them, his body became even more indistinct. The aura that clearly surpassed Harmonious Morus Alba in terms of Realm became even stronger. When he finished speaking and lifted his head, the aura spread out in an invisible manner and enveloped his body, causing Su Ming's eyes to no longer have intelligence. Instead, they became empty …
His body was still moving forward, but he did not know where he was going or where he was going, because his soul, his consciousness, and his will were all immersed in an epiphany that bloomed from Su Ming's body as his aura roared in an invisible manner.
Su Ming did not know how long that epiphany would last. Perhaps it would last for a few days, perhaps it would last for a few years, perhaps it would last for dozens of years, a hundred years, or even more … Even Su Ming did not know how long it would last. He did not know what this epiphany meant to him.
He also did not know that this was … an epiphany towards Boundless Dao Realm that had never appeared in the countless aeons in Harmonious Morus Alba's Expanse Cosmos since the beginning of the first aeon!
This epiphany was something that had never appeared in Arid Triad, much less anyone else. In fact, even the once complete Harmonious Morus Alba longed for it … but at that moment, it appeared in Su Ming!
This was the first time … and perhaps the last time it happened in the world!
The moment Su Ming entered the state of epiphany he had never experienced before and lost his consciousness. With a dazed expression on his face, he walked through the empty galaxy. In the Expanse Cosmos where Harmonious Morus Alba's will was hiding, Harmonious Morus Alba's will shuddered violently in the Expanse Cosmos connected to the end of Yin Death Vortex.
Its will transformed into a butterfly that stared at the starry sky in the distance. Its body trembled as it sensed a new aura on its body that caused it to tremble.
That presence belonged to Boundless Dao Realm. This state meant that someone was trying to gain an epiphany towards Boundless Dao Realm!
To it, this was unbelievable. As it trembled, Harmonious Morus Alba's will showed signs of dispersing. Even though it soon gathered together again, its shock at that moment could be seen.
'Is it him? Is the person trying to gain an epiphany him?' A complicated expression appeared on Harmonious Morus Alba's face. This epiphany was something it had longed for, but it had never appeared. At that moment, it had appeared in its world.
At the same time, in the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos was the young man who was Arid Triad. He stood quietly and stared at the tree. No one knew what he was thinking.
But suddenly, at the instant Su Ming entered the state of epiphany, the expression of the young man changed drastically. He turned around swiftly and lifted his head to stare at the galaxy. Disbelief gradually appeared on his face. It was an incredibly rare expression on him, and he took a step forward, intending to investigate it.
'Boundless Dao Realm's presence … This is Boundless Dao Realm's presence. Someone is trying to gain an epiphany towards Boundless Dao Realm! This is impossible! There is no life form who has reached great completion in Avacaniya Realm, and if they haven't reached that Realm, it's impossible for them to gain an epiphany towards Boundless Dao Realm!
'This is … This is Su Ming!' The young man came to a halt. There was still disbelief on his face, but he did not take another step forward.
At that moment, when Su Ming gained an epiphany of Boundless Dao Expanse Cosmos in the fourth wing's Heaven Lacking Expanse Cosmos, Old Man Extermination was sitting cross-legged on the ancient ship hidden beside the gap. He stared at Su Ming's palm print on the wooden monument in front of him with a cold sneer on his lips, but it suddenly froze. He lifted his head, and his expression changed drastically.
'Gaining an epiphany towards Boundless Dao Realm? This … This is …' Old Man Extermination's pupils shrank swiftly. The disbelief on his face was so strong that it surpassed even that of Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba. In fact, he did not even think too much about it. He moved swiftly, and while he looked like he was still sitting cross-legged, an illusory shadow overlapped on his body. It flew out swiftly, and like an afterimage, it instantly appeared in the Expanse Cosmos. Su Ming, who was moving forward in a daze, lifted his right hand and pushed forward.
But at the instant his palm touched Su Ming, an astonishing presence spread out from Su Ming's body without a single sound. That presence … belonged to Boundless Dao Realm!
At the instant it appeared, the illusory shadow let out a shrill scream of pain and instantly disappeared, but Su Ming did not seem to know any of it. He continued moving forward with a dazed expression on his face. He indeed did not know any of it. At that moment, he had sunk into an epiphany and had forgotten everything. His mind was blank.
But when the shadow disappeared, Old Man Extermination shuddered, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood while sitting cross-legged on the ancient ship.
This was the second time … he saw his own blood after he had stepped into the gap in Harmonious Morus Alba's wing and coughed up blood due to his injuries.
