Rain fell. The Sky Beyond the Sky could be heard, but it could not be touched.
It was just like what Bei Qiong had said in the past. Su Ming could see the path he had taken when he turned around and found the tracks he had taken, but when he turned around and continued walking … he found that the path he took was split into two.
Su Ming stood on the cliff of the mountain with a smile on his lips. There was a freezing chill in his smile, along with a profound meaning. Along with the resolve in his eyes, it turned into an indescribably malicious air. It was as if his eyes could see through the changes in the world, the cycles of life and death in the past, and everything about himself.
It was like an epiphany. If a person lost himself in it, then on the day he woke up, perhaps he would only think that he had woken up, but in truth, he would still be lost.
If he did not lose himself, then he had to maintain his original heart. He could never … ever lose himself!
At that moment, his Dao Divinity, who was meditating in the third eye at the center of Su Ming's brow, opened its eyes. Epiphany also appeared in them. The rain …
It had come at the right time, and it had come at the right time. More importantly, it had come … abruptly!
Su Ming did not look at the rain, but at that moment, there seemed to be a figure gradually walking into the distance. That figure was ancient, dressed in a straw cape, and wore a bamboo hat … He looked like the ferryman, and also … like his Master in Su Ming's memories.
During that instant, lightning roared and illuminated the ground. The figure in Su Ming's eyes seemed to have come to a halt. He slowly turned his head around, as if his gaze had landed on Su Ming, but when Su Ming wanted to see his face clearly, the figure had already disappeared when lightning charged forward.
Su Ming closed his eyes, but his third eye opened. The Dao Divinity in it did not close its eyes either. The light of epiphany grew stronger, and a smile appeared on the Dao Divinity's lips.
He … had understood!
For the first time in the world that was both real and fake, he gained an epiphany. It made Su Ming even more determined, and it also made his determination even more resolute. It made his heart calm, and during his first fight of Arts against Xuan Zang … Su Ming's Dao Divinity gradually overlapped with each other.
As his Dao Divinity overlapped, the rain in the world outside became heavier. The curtain of rain covered everything. Even the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky was covered by a hazy rain and fog. It could still be seen, but could not be sensed. It was as if there was an Expanse Cosmos separating them from the first layer.
The overlapping feeling of his Dao Divinity in Su Ming's third eye became stronger. When the sky roared, thunder shook the heavens, and lightning illuminated the entire area … the overlapping feeling of his Dao Divinity in his third eye became stronger.
However, there seemed to be something missing. Even though they seemed to be overlapping to form two Dao Divinities, it was difficult to separate them. In the end, they couldn't truly become … two Dao Divinities.
'I, Su Ming, have spent my life searching for the truth and seeking Dao. If I continue down this path, I will have eternal life behind me. Divine abilities are just a side effect, and the true meaning I seek is the Dao I want to find …
'An Dao. Dao is Dao Dao. Dao Ming Dao..... "I seek an Dao. Dao.
'This Dao is my pursuit. This Dao is my direction. I will understand the changes in the world and understand the changes in the cycles of life and death. I will walk down the path and persevere in my beliefs. This … is the path of seeking my heart!
'Just like this rain. I will watch it from Sky Beyond the Sky, but if I want to …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the foot of the mountain. Thunder roared. When Su Ming pulled his right hand back, there was rain on his palm!
The rain fell through the gaps between Su Ming's fingers and turned into a smile on his lips. It gradually grew wider, and when he threw his head back and laughed, the Dao Divinity in his third eye at the center of his brow …
Suddenly, in this instant … one split into two!
Once the overlapping reached its peak, a second Dao Divinity appeared!
At the instant the second Dao Divinity appeared, Su Ming reached a breakthrough in his level of cultivation. From the first level of Dao Divinity Realm, he stepped into the second level of Dao Divinity Realm. His hair danced in the air, and his robes fluttered. The rain in the world outside became even heavier, the thunder roared even louder, and the lightning became even brighter!
The rain had come at the right time. It had come at the perfect moment!
Its arrival caused Su Ming's epiphany to instantly rise to a higher level. As it rose to a higher level, he seemed to have gained a vague understanding of his own Dao.
Su Ming's cultivation base erupted from his body at that instant. He reached a breakthrough from the first level of Dao Divinity Realm and stepped into the second level of Dao Divinity Realm. If he could take another step forward, then a completely different change would appear … and he would step into the ranks of the few powerful warriors in Ancient Zang … Dao Spirit Realm!
"Xuan Zang, I believe that my world is real. I believe that I am Su Ming, not the third prince, and much less … you!
"Xuan Zang, in this battle of Arts of Possession, you will attack, and I will counterattack … but there will come a time when I, Su Ming, will attack, and you … will also sink into my world. Let's see … who will wake up first!
Every time you and I fight, it will make me … more and more powerful! " A ferocious look appeared on Su Ming's face. He swung his arm, and his hair instantly turned purple. That purple hair did not belong to Wang Tao, but to Su Ming.
He also stood up at that moment. It was as if the rain around him had turned red due to being dyed in the darkness of the night and Su Ming's will. It seemed to have turned into a vast sea of blood.
As the sea of blood tumbled about and roared, Su Ming stood beside the cliff. Beneath him was the canyon and Seven Moons Sect. His long hair was messed up by the wind, but it could not affect his heart.
He lifted his left hand, and in an instant, a ball of fire that seemed as if it would never be extinguished floated up from his palm. That fire was formed by Su Ming's will, and it would never be extinguished, just like Su Ming's determination!
Su Ming's memories shone in the fire. In the wind and rain, on the cliff, and when the area around him seemed to have turned into a raging sea of blood … Su Ming lowered his head and stared at the fire on his palm. His gaze was no longer fierce, but had become gentle.
In the fire, he seemed to see Arid Triad, the four Great True Worlds, his three senior brothers, his elder, Cang Lan, Yu Xuan, Xu Hui, and many more smiling faces … as well as the bald crane!
There was Dark Mountain, the nine summits, and all that Su Ming treasured. He could give up everything for them. Over there … was the source of power that could allow Su Ming to persevere and continue down his path!
It was also … his taboo!
After a long while, Su Ming clenched his left hand gently and put away the fire formed by the memories of his divine sense into his palm. When he lifted his head, he stared at the curtain of rain, lightning, and thunder in the sky. Clarity appeared in his eyes.
"I am Su Ming." At the moment Su Ming spoke calmly, a large number of runic symbols appeared in the lightning and thunder in the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. They immediately stirred up roars that drowned out the thunder and lightning. At the instant they caught the attention of the people from Seven Moons Sect, the runic symbols formed … a huge Feng Shui compass that could be seen in all layers of Sky Beyond the Sky.
As the Feng Shui compass rotated with loud bangs, a figure walked over from a mountain in the distance. He instantly stepped on the Feng Shui compass and turned into a young man.
He was dressed in a white robe, and his eyes were like stars. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and he was extraordinarily handsome. Naturally … he was Ye Long!
"I, Ye Long, will challenge the seventh formation of Dao Divinity Shadow Descension. Master, please grant me permission!" Ye Long wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply towards the mountain he came from. His voice was clear, and it echoed in the rainy night. It shook the first five layers of Sky Beyond the Sky, causing the many Seven Moons Sect disciples who were meditating in the rain to immediately open their eyes.
As their gazes gathered on him and the crowd walked out one after another, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky with a loud bang. It illuminated the entire area and the huge Feng Shui compass of runic symbols. It also made Ye Long, who was on it, appear clearly before all those who were looking at him.
"Permission granted!" A low voice said. At the instant it appeared, the lightning looked like it was trembling. It did not dare to appear. The thunder was afraid and did not dare to make a sound. Even the rain in the sky seemed to have countless ripples at that instant. A red-robed man's figure could be seen in each raindrop.
At the instant the voice spoke, Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the sixth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. It was … the world that belonged only to the red-robed man. It was the supreme treasure of Seven Moons Sect that only the great sect elder who was in charge of the sect could possess!
When the red-robed man's voice echoed in the air, the lightning dared to shine, the thunder dared to roar, and the rain also dared to pour on the ground. Ye Long, who was on the Feng Shui compass floating in midair, stood up at that moment and threw his head back to roar.
"Seventh formation!"
While his voice echoed in the air, the Feng Shui compass under his feet rotated with loud bangs. The runic symbols on it rotated and shone continuously, and a second Feng Shui compass appeared above him. At the same time, another one appeared, and then, there were three Feng Shui compasses!
Each of the three Feng Shui compasses was larger than the last. When Ye Long moved, he appeared on the third Feng Shui compass. He lifted his hands and pushed them against the Feng Shui compass. The three Feng Shui compasses roared at the same time, and waves of vast power spread through the area before gathering on Ye Long, causing his expression to contort. Veins popped up on his skin, and he let out a low growl.
There were a total of thirty formations in the Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune. One Feng Shui compass would appear in the first formation, and a second would appear in the third formation. Four Feng Shui compasses would appear in the seventh formation, and with every two layers, an extra Feng Shui compass would appear. At that moment, as Ye Long roared, the fourth Feng Shui compass appeared above him!
It was a talisman formed by rainwater, and a huge Feng Shui compass formed by talismans floated above the three Feng Shui compasses. They seemed to have fused with lightning, causing the Feng Shui compass to exude endless sparks.
What Ye Long wanted to do was to eventually stand on the fourth Feng Shui compass, and it would mean … that he had successfully cleared the seventh formation!
Right before all the people's gazes, thunder roared, and lightning pierced everyone's eyes. At that moment, Ye Long's roar became the only sound in Seven Moons Sect. His body trembled as he slowly stood up. In the end, he moved through the Feng Shui compasses above him, and at the instant he stood on the fourth Feng Shui compass, he … successfully cleared the seventh formation!
Thunder was like a mighty might, lightning was like a glare, and the rain was behind the world. At that moment, Ye Long's black hair danced in the air. Once he stood up, he threw his head back and let out a long roar that shook the sky.
"Wang Tao, it's been eight years, and you've never responded. Today … I will still ask you this. Do you … dare challenge the Dao Divinity Shadow Descension Rune?!" His voice echoed in Seven Moons Sect. During that instant, the eyes of all those who heard it sparkled.
Su Ming sat cross-legged on the cliff and slowly lifted his head!
A brilliant light shone in his eyes!
