Su Ming's pupils shrank in a barely noticeable manner, and his lifted right hand froze in midair. He stared at Bei Qiong with sparkling eyes, and the ghost of a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his lips.
When Bei Qiong saw that smile, his heart shuddered. Compared to Su Ming's callous demeanor, he was even more afraid of Su Ming's current expression. It made him unable to guess Su Ming's thoughts and what he would do next.
However, he knew that Su Ming would definitely ask him how he knew his name and how he could tell that he was Su Ming, even though he had clearly changed his appearance!
"Su Ming … how did you know that I am Su Ming?" Su Ming smiled and looked at Bei Qiong. He did not deny it. Instead, a glint appeared in his eyes, and a great pressure instantly enveloped Bei Qiong.
"I'll tell you … I'll tell you … that you are …" Bei Qiong hesitated for a moment, but once he cast a glance at Su Ming, he gritted his teeth.
"You … are Su Ming, and also the third prince of Ancient Zang!" When he said those words, Su Ming's expression remained the same, but a huge storm raged in his heart. Bei Qiong knew so much, and it caused the light in Su Ming's eyes to become even fiercer.
"Three thousand years ago, the third prince of Ancient Zang left the royal capital and went on an adventure that lasted for six thousand years. During it, he lost himself and was immersed in the era of Harmonious Morus Alba. He lost himself there …
"He was not the only one who lost himself. All the friends he befriended during his adventure and all the people who formed ties of karmic ties with him were lost because of him.
"And while my level of cultivation might not be high, as a descendant of the Celestial Master of Ancient Zang, I have a much longer lifespan than a normal person. I also … participated in your loss in the past.
"But I woke up earlier than the others, and once I woke up, I noticed … that perhaps it was due to my blood, but I still retained my memories of being lost. But I noticed that the other people who woke up one after another were in a daze, and they no longer had their memories of being lost …
"It's like one session of meditation and one moment of absent-mindedness. You can also say that a part of your soul has been divided. In the world you were lost in, they were themselves, and in Ancient Zang, they were still themselves.
His voice was slightly hoarse, as if it was filled with nostalgia. When he looked at Su Ming, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
"Harmonious Morus Alba's world is fake …" Bei Qiong sighed softly and lowered his head.
Su Ming remained silent. After a long while, no changes could be seen on his face.
"You've said so much, but you still haven't answered my question. How did you know that I'm Su Ming?"
"If I look at you now, I won't be able to tell that you're Su Ming, that you're the third prince of the past, but … but previously, you didn't appear in front of me with your real body. You were just a shadow clone of yourself who practiced the Seven Lives Art.
People could be different, but shadows … were like every person's soul. Although they looked different in size under the sunlight, very few people knew that the darkness in the shadow could be seen by those who were observant!
However, not many people know this technique, and I have the bloodline of the Celestial Master, so I can see the difference, and also because I recognized your identity. " Bei Qiong smiled wryly. There seemed to be a sigh on his face, as if he was regretting seeing through Su Ming's identity.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The shock and disbelief on Bei Qiong's face when he saw him clearly appeared in his mind. All of this seemed to have a perfect explanation.
"I've already told you everything I know. Over the years, after I woke up, I've been thinking about how you lost your way back then. This matter is closely related to the Second Prince and the First Prince. The two of them must have joined forces to launch an attack on you while you were lost!
"Third prince, please … wake up. Everything in Harmonious Morus Alba is fake. It's not real, not at all. All the people you met in Harmonious Morus Alba's world can be found in Ancient Zang. They are the real ones, and the people in Harmonious Morus Alba are just wisps of lost souls. They are fake!
"As long as you wake up, they … will also immediately wake up and remember you, such as Sect Elder Lan. She's one of them. Three thousand years ago, when she ventured out to train, she met you, but she can't remember you now … because you haven't woken up yet.
"Third prince, it doesn't matter whether it's for yourself or for your friends, please wake up. As long as you wake up, everyone will immediately remember you!
"I don't know what you went through in Harmonious Morus Alba's world later on … but even if the people in that world have already died, as long as you wake up, you will find that they … are still by your side!" Bei Qiong looked at Su Ming with a hint of pity in his eyes when he spoke softly.
"I've already finished speaking. If you don't believe me, you can search my soul. I, Bei Qiong, have lied countless times in my life, but only this time … I didn't lie!" Bei Qiong lifted his head and stared at Su Ming with a determined look.
Su Ming was silent. No one could tell what sort of thoughts were tumbling in his heart at that moment. He lifted his head, but he did not look at Bei Qiong in front of him. Instead, he stared at the sky in the distance. He stared at the blue sky covered by clouds and fog as well as the sun among the white clouds. Everything was so real. When he cast his gaze over it, there seemed to be no end to the world in the distance. There was only a long crack that looked like it was connected to the sky.
As he watched, Su Ming lifted his right hand, and before Bei Qiong could react, he pressed his palm against the top of Bei Qiong's skull. With it, Su Ming's cultivation base spread out and enveloped Bei Qiong's entire body. It crawled into Bei Qiong's mind through his will to search through all his memories.
Su Ming saw many things in those memories, and he even saw everything Bei Qiong had said previously. However, this time, he did not see words, but pictures.
Bei Qiong shuddered. This sort of Soulsearch was incredibly harmful to a person, but resolve appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have come to an understanding. Since he could not hide from it and fate had arranged for them to meet, then … he would wake Su Ming up and let him know what was real and what was fake!
When the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn passed, Su Ming lifted his right hand and placed it down gently. He did not see any signs that Bei Qiong's memories had been tampered with. It was as if everything was truly what Bei Qiong had experienced.
"Third prince …" Bei Qiong's face was pale. He looked incredibly weak at that moment, and when he looked at Su Ming, he was about to speak.
"You can leave now," Su Ming said faintly. He closed his eyes and swung his right hand. Immediately, the black wind turned gentle and swept up Bei Qiong's body. It moved through the layers of Sky Beyond the Sky and sent him into the first layer of Seven Moons Sect.
When Bei Qiong appeared in the first layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, the wind around him disappeared, but he did not immediately leave. Instead, he stood there and lifted his head to stare at the mountain where Su Ming was.
Even though he could only see the first layer, he could vaguely see Su Ming meditating alone on the mountain in the overlapping fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky.
As he watched, Bei Qiong sighed softly.
'So, it's not that the first and second princes are so strong that they can't wake you up … but that you don't want to wake up … You're immersed in Harmonious Morus Alba's world. You'd rather sink into the nine earths than believe in the nine heavens.' When he shook his head, Bei Qiong looked as if he had become much older. He turned around and walked into the distance.
His shadow was elongated, and it was under his feet … However, while it looked ancient, he seemed to be wearing a straw cape and a bamboo hat. It seemed to be slowly fading away, and at that moment, it seemed to have overlapped with his shadow once. At that moment, it was slowly fading away, but Bei Qiong did not notice it.
…..
Su Ming closed his eyes and sat quietly on the mountain. When the sun set in the distance, a woman appeared outside his house.
It was Lan Lan. For the first time in eight years, she appeared there. She stood beside Su Ming and stared at the dusk in the distance.
After a long while, she lowered her head and stared at Su Ming, who had his eyes closed. Without saying a word, she turned around and left.
When night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, Su Ming … opened his eyes in the depths of the night.
His gaze was calm, but in the depths of that calmness was a resolve that could make others stare at him. That resolve was like fire, as if it could burn the world and the night sky.
"There are no signs of his memories being tampered with. This means that his memories are real, but the truth of his memories doesn't mean that they are real!" Su Ming said slowly.
"Because my memories have not been tampered with either. If he is real, then I am also real! But there will always be one who is fake … "The resolve in Su Ming's eyes shone with a fierce glare.
"Besides, he revealed the greatest flaw, and it was also this flaw that caused a flaw in his seemingly perfect words.
"He should have called me Mo Su, not … Su Ming! After all … when I was in Wind Stream Tribe, I changed my name to Mo Su. After I left, I never met him again. When I checked his memories, the scene in Harmonious Morus Alba ended in Wind Stream Tribe! "A strange light shone in Su Ming's eyes.
"But he called me Su Ming …" A profound smile appeared at the corners of Su Ming's lips.
"Xuan Zang, is this your world or my world? Both of us … know this very well. My will is not something you can change so easily.
"This is just … a battle of Arts between you and me!" When Su Ming said those words faintly, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the night sky. The dark clouds that could not be seen gradually gathered together, and rain fell.
The rain was not heavy in the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, it became as if it was pouring. The curtain of rain enveloped the mountains, the ground, and Seven Moons Sect.
However … it was only in the first layer. Su Ming was in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. He could see the rain, but he could not sense it.
