"Permission granted! The entire sect will be watching. If you can't get through the third formation … then you can die. " When Ye Long spoke, a low voice echoed in the entire fifth layer of Seven Moons Sect's Sky Beyond the Sky.
It belonged to the red-robed man, Dao Han.
Su Ming's expression was calm. He cast a glance at the Feng Shui compass formed by countless runic symbols. At that moment, the Feng Shui compass spun and completed the first formation. It was also at that moment that Ye Long, who was meditating inside, shuddered. Resolve appeared in his eyes, and he slowly closed them before he sat still on the Feng Shui compass.
Su Ming cast a glance at him before averting his gaze. He lowered his head to look at the blue plate in his hand and no longer paid any attention to Ye Long. Instead, he began thinking about the Seven Lives Art again.
Time trickled by. At that moment, there were quite a number of cultivators in Seven Daos Sect who were paying attention to Ye Long's challenge Rune from different Sky Beyond the Sky. When an hour passed, the Feng Shui compass filled with runic symbols roared and spun again. Its movements were complicated, causing all those who saw it to feel as if their eyes were blurred.
"Second formation!" The red-robed man's voice echoed faintly at that moment, causing even more Seven Moons Sect disciples to focus their gazes on Ye Long.
Su Ming acted as if he did not hear it. He continued thinking about the Seven Lives Art. When four hours passed, Ye Long shuddered. Veins popped up on his face. He gritted his teeth and let out a low growl. Immediately, the Feng Shui compass spun again. The runic symbols rotated, and when light shone one hundred thousand feet, the red-robed man's voice spoke again.
"Third formation."
When his words echoed in the air, another Feng Shui compass appeared above Ye Long. When the two Feng Shui compasses rotated at the same time, blood trickled out of the corners of Ye Long's mouth, but he continued persevering.
Nearly eight hours passed. When the sun shone on the morning of the second day, Ye Long let out an astonishing howl. The Feng Shui compass above him immediately disappeared, and he slowly stood up while trembling. At that moment, the cultivators of Seven Moons Sect let out a buzz in Su Ming's ears.
"I did not let Master down. I have successfully withstood three formations!" Ye Long sucked in a deep breath, wrapped his fist in his palm, and bowed deeply to a mountain in the distance.
When he stood up, he swept his gaze past the mountains around him and suddenly spoke.
"Wang Tao, I've already passed three formations. Do you … dare to challenge this Dao Divinity Shadow Descent Formation like I did before?!" As Ye Long's words echoed in the air, the inner sect disciples of Seven Moons Sect in the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky immediately started discussing among themselves. In fact, it was the same in the third, second, and first layers.
Even in the fifth layer where Su Ming was … there were quite a number of people who paid attention to this matter.
Su Ming's expression was calm. He cast a glance at Ye Long, but he did not speak. Instead, he closed his eyes. He had also vaguely sensed some of the methods to practice the Seven Lives Art. After a moment, when he opened his eyes, he lifted his right hand and pointed at his shadow. Immediately, it distorted again, and overlaps appeared.
Ye Long's voice echoed in the air, but Su Ming did not move even after a long time had passed. He said the same words again, but there was still no reply. In the end, Ye Long turned around and turned into a long arc that charged towards the mountain in the distance. Once he left, the Feng Shui compass formed by the runic symbols gradually disappeared.
Seven Moons Sect regained its peace, but Ye Long's name was deeply engraved in the minds of many disciples.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another year went by. During it, Ye Long challenged the Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune for the second time. This time, he got through the fourth formation!
Three years later, he cleared the fifth formation!
Another four years went by, and he became one of the few people who had cleared the sixth formation. It could be said that during those eight years, Ye Long's name had become famous in Seven Moons Sect. There was practically no disciple who did not know him, and he … was gradually regarded as the most talented prodigy by the sect disciples.
After all, Ye Long had only used eight years to clear the sixth formation. The other people who had also cleared the sixth formation had taken much longer than Ye Long.
As for Su Ming, he seemed to have been forgotten. It did not matter whether it was Lan Lan or the red-robed man, neither of them appeared in front of him again …
Every single time Ye Long ended his challenge, he would stubbornly ask Su Ming whether he dared to challenge the Rune. Because of it, Su Ming seemed to have been forgotten, but he was incredibly famous among the disciples in the sects and clans.
However, most of his reputation was negative …
Over the eight years, Su Ming had been pondering over the Seven Lives Art. During that period of time, he had tried it several times, but he was not satisfied with it. One morning eight years later, Su Ming lifted his right hand and formed a seal before he tapped his shadow again. He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and coughed up a mouthful of blood, causing it to fall into the shadow.
His blood melted in an instant, causing the shadow to turn red. As Su Ming slowly pulled his finger back, his shadow immediately started twisting and overlapping with each other, and … a red shadow separated from it!
It caused two shadows to appear under Su Ming's feet!
One of them was black, and the other was red. Facial features gradually appeared on the red shadow, and it gradually became the exact same as Su Ming's. A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he lifted his left hand to strike the red shadow.
With this slap, his figure instantly disappeared.
But at the instant it disappeared, the air in the first layer of Seven Moons Sect, where Su Ming was in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, on the protruding wall of the mountain in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky … distorted, and a figure appeared.
Naturally, it was Su Ming!
It was not a clone, and neither was it a Possession. Instead, it was a projection formed by Su Ming's Seven Lives Art.
It was Su Ming, and there was an unbreakable connection between him and his real body. Once he walked out, he lifted his head and looked at the sky. When he smiled faintly, he turned around and walked down the mountain. He wanted to test the Life of his projection and see what was the difference between him and his clone.
When he took a few steps forward, Su Ming had already come to understand many things. His eyes sparkled, and he fused with the mountain. When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of the mountain.
"It's not a real body. It exists with space, which is why it's difficult to destroy it, but it's not a soul either … The Seven Lives Art is extraordinary," Su Ming mumbled softly. When he walked down the mountain, he suddenly came to a halt and looked at a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to his right. There seemed to be a woman sitting cross-legged and meditating in the bamboo forest.
Swaying sounds that sounded like a xun echoed in the area without Su Ming's knowledge.
When Su Ming stared at the figure behind the bamboo forest, he knew that the woman was the other disciple of the middle-aged man in the sky-blue Daoist robe. She was a junior sister from the sect whom Su Ming had never met before.
He did not disturb her training. He averted his gaze, turned around, and walked into the distance. He went down the mountain and entered Seven Moons Sect's sect in Ancient Zang.
"Did you hear? Eldest senior brother Ye Long should be challenging the Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune in the next few days. I heard from the senior brothers in the second layer that they can already see the signs of the Talisman Talisman Rune."
"I wonder whether eldest senior brother Ye Long will succeed this time …"
"The seventh formation won't be easy to clear. You haven't been in the sect for long, that's why you don't know this. I once heard from someone that the Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune is an ancient Rune the thirteen great sect elders obtained from some unknown place in the past. There are a total of thirty layers to the Rune, and it's said that even the thirteen great sect elders can't clear the twenty-seventh layer!"
While Su Ming walked through Seven Moons Sect, he ran into quite a number of disciples. Most of them were discussing matters regarding Ye Long.
After all, over the past eight years, Ye Long's name had become famous in Seven Moons Sect. He had cleared six formations in eight years, and this sort of speed was shocking. In fact, quite a number of disciples idolized him with fanatical zeal.
Besides, he was the disciple of Dao Han, one of the thirteen great sect elders. He might not be a successor disciple and was just a normal disciple who did not have the right to stay in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky and could only stay in the fourth layer, but even so, it was enough to make the cultivators in Seven Moons Sect envious.
"It's nothing. It's just the sixth formation. To us, this might be shocking, but some of the disciples in the second layer have also cleared the sixth formation, especially the senior brothers and sisters in the third layer. Almost all of them have cleared the sixth formation, and it's even more so for the eldest senior brothers in the fourth layer!"
"You can't compare them like that. How many years did they take to clear the sixth formation, but Ye Long did it in eight years. Just look at who else managed to do it in eight years!"
"Isn't there Wang Tao? Heh heh, that Ye Long always provokes people, but I really want to see just how strong the person who was even stronger than Ye Long in the past is now."
"Speaking of which, Wang Tao is a little strange. There's practically no news about him. He entered the inner sect with Ye Long in the past, but Ye Long became Great Sect Elder Dao Han's disciple, and Wang Tao seemed to have disappeared."
Discussions continuously reached Su Ming's ears as he moved forward. He naturally did not pay any attention to them. As he moved forward, he saw many people's shadows, and he also saw that once he walked past them, their shadows would distort. They seemed to have become much duller, and he … had become slightly stronger than he was in the beginning.
However, Su Ming also noticed that there were no shadows under his feet.
After walking one round, Su Ming gained an epiphany. When he turned around, he was about to return to the mountain, but suddenly, an attentive voice came from behind him.
"This is Senior Brother, please wait!"
Once the voice reached Su Ming's ears, his footsteps came to a halt. When he turned around, he saw a person running towards him from behind him.
It was an old man dressed in a normal disciple's robe. He had a protruding mouth and a chin like a monkey's.
As he ran, he called out to Su Ming with an attentive look on his face.
"Senior brother, please wait, please wait. Heh heh, with just one look, I can tell that you have an extraordinary bearing. It's clear that you're not just an ordinary person. In the future, you will definitely have a meteoric rise and stand above all others." The old man was panting. Once he arrived beside Su Ming, he immediately started talking nonstop.
"Senior brother, when I saw you, I felt that we were fated to meet. How about this? I have some spirit cores and medicines here that can help you increase your cultivation base. They can help you rise to power in one go. I usually don't sell them to others, but it's your fault for being fated with me. Come, take a look." As the old man spoke, he got closer to Su Ming and lifted his sleeves to reveal a dozen something bottles hanging inside.
"How about it? Do you like any of them? You know Ye Long, right? Let me tell you, if Ye Long hadn't bought my spirit cores and medicines in the past, it would have been impossible for him to clear the sixth formation!" The old man immediately started introducing the items to Su Ming while bringing out one bottle after another.
"I also have some herbs here. Look at this … and look at this. I'm telling you, senior brother, I can't sell this to you. Ye Long has already reserved it.
"And this … Ah, I can't sell this. The great sect elder forbade me from selling this, but if you really like it, then we're fated to meet. I'll grit my teeth and sell it to you!" The old man's spit flew everywhere. As he spoke, he seemed to have noticed that Su Ming had not spoken, and he instinctively lifted his head to look at him.
It was as if this was the first time he saw Su Ming's face clearly. When he did so, he was first stunned, but soon, his expression changed drastically!
"You … You …" Terror and disbelief appeared on his face. During that instant, he felt as if he had run into the most shocking thing in his life!
I have uploaded a picture of Su Ming. I think it fits the impression I have of him. Behind him is a sea of blood that surges into the sky, and his black robes exude an evil air. All of you can go and take a look. I have also uploaded a picture of Wang Lin. I have changed the color of his robes according to the readers' requests.
