"Eh? Aren't you going to acknowledge me as your master? " The old man stood there for a long time. In the darkness of the night, he stood tall and straight, emanating an aura of supremacy. It was enough to cause the hearts of many cultivators to tremble and their blood to boil.
However … his presence spread out for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, but Su Ming was still silent. The old man immediately returned to his usual self and shouted in anger.
"Y-y-you, you don't respect the old and cherish the young. It's rare for me to be so domineering, yet you still refuse to acknowledge me as your master. Are you trying to anger me to death? Fine, fine, fine. If you don't acknowledge me as your master today, I won't sleep or eat. If I don't sleep, my body won't be well. If I can't sleep and wake up naturally, my body won't be well. If I can't eat dog meat, my body won't be well!
I'm not in good health. If I don't eat, I'll die! "The old man came to Su Ming's side and shouted.
Su Ming smiled wryly. As he looked at the old man before him, he sighed softly and stood up. With a swing of his arm, he knelt down before the old man.
"Su Ming has only acknowledged one Master in his life. Today, I will acknowledge him as my second Master. Master, please accept this bow from your disciple!"
The old man immediately beamed with joy, but soon, he forced himself to put on a stern expression and tried his best to make himself look more stern, but the joy on his face could not be hidden. After letting out a few fake coughs, he lifted Su Ming up with a beaming face and patted his chest while speaking loudly.
"Alright, alright," the old man said arrogantly. "If anyone bullies you in the future, just say my name. Those who know me will immediately piss their pants in fear. Those who don't know me … hmph, we'll talk about that later …"
"Disciple, tell me, what do you want? As long as you say it, I will climb mountains of swords and seas of fire, go through water and tread on fire, and fly into a rage. In any case, that's what I mean, I will do it for you!
If you say you want to eat that big white dog, then the two of us will stew the dog meat overnight. If you say you like that girl with a big butt, then damn it, I'll go snatch her for you.
Tell me, what do you want! " The old man flicked his sleeves in a very mighty manner. As long as you ask, this old man will definitely be able to do it.
Yet before Su Ming could speak, the old man immediately blinked and looked at him awkwardly.
"You won't make any excessive requests, right? For example, destroying One Dao Sect, slaughtering Asura Clan, snatching Ancient Emperor's throne, and so on. These … Ahem … "
Su Ming sat down on the wooden block once again and retorted, "You can't do all of this?"
"Who said that? Who said that I can't do it? You're looking down on me!! I can do it. If this old man wants to do it, it would be as easy as snapping a finger. This is nothing. This old man is invincible! "The old man immediately blew his beard and glared at him, looking as if he was being humiliated.
"Ahem, since you don't believe me, then let's put this argument aside for now. Um … I'll tell you about my divine abilities first. I have two great divine abilities. One of them is to use an axe to chop people. That's what I call a pleasure. I've researched it, and I can chop off a person's head and body. I can chop off anything I want. The strength of this divine ability is so great that there is no one in Ancient Zang that I can't chop off!
"My second divine ability is to absorb cultivation base. Heh heh, speaking of which, I invented this myself. When I talk about this divine ability, I have to say that when I was still a teenager, there were plenty of people around me who had better potential than me, lived better lives than me, and had higher levels of cultivation than me. In my anger, I started chopping people, and as I chopped, I came up with this divine ability to snatch cultivation base.
"As long as I fancy someone, I'll immediately snatch them away. No one will be able to escape!" The old man looked very smug. As he spoke, he squatted down beside Su Ming and whispered, "It's especially so for female cultivators.
They're even more effective. My good disciple, when you have time, you must try it. Come, I'll teach you this divine ability now. " As the old man spoke, he suddenly grabbed Su Ming's right hand and squeezed it. Immediately, a Brand appeared on Su Ming's right palm like a Brand.
It was the mark of a moon. When it appeared, Su Ming did not feel much about it, but when he looked at it closely, he immediately had the misconception that the Brand could suck away his gaze.
In fact, when he looked at it closely, he noticed that the air around him seemed to be flowing towards him at that instant. Wisps of it entered the Brand on his right palm.
"With this divine ability, my disciple, you will be invincible!" The old man stared at Su Ming seriously, then stood up and stretched. Then, he turned around and yawned before he walked back to his house.
"Continue chopping wood! Since you're my disciple now, you'll have to double the amount of wood you can chop in the future, and then you'll have to get more wine money. Heh heh, or else I'll chase you out of the school. "As the old man spoke, he returned to his house.
Su Ming lowered his head and smiled wryly. No matter what he did, he felt that his Master was a little unreliable, but perhaps it was precisely because of this that Su Ming remembered … Tian Xie Zi.
After a long while, Su Ming picked up the axe and continued chopping wood in the courtyard late at night.
Days passed by. The old man would hop out every morning and shout a few words about how good his health was. If he was in a good mood, he would even chase after the two white dogs in the courtyard. Occasionally, he would cackle strangely and say that if he managed to catch up to one of them, he would eat it that night, causing the two white dogs to play with him happily in their fear.
Su Ming stayed by the side and continued chopping wood. By then, he had already learned how to not intentionally swing his axe down. Instead, he would naturally cut the wood in half. It was becoming increasingly natural, and he no longer needed to think about anything. Instead, he would occasionally turn his head to look at the bouncing old man and the two white dogs.
After a long time, when the two big white dogs were being chased like this every day, they almost forgot that they were once cultivators. They gradually realized that the old man was just a big thunder and small raindrops, as if he didn't really have any intention of eating them. Thus, in the next few months, the two big white dogs mostly just dealt with it.
Then … one day, the old man flew into a rage and shouted something that caused the two white dogs to shudder. They howled and ran with all their might.
"You two lackeys, do you think I don't know that you've been slacking off over the past few months? Alright, my disciple won't let me eat you, but I can f * ck you up!
Darn it all, whoever I catch today will sleep with me in my house! " The old man's fierce words not only caused the two white dogs to shudder, but also stunned Su Ming for a moment, even though he was already used to the old man's occasional shocking words.
He suddenly realized that he could never underestimate this master of his. When you thought you understood him, you would always find that he had too many … hobbies that you could not imagine.
For example … White Three let out a shrill scream of pain at that moment, and just as it was about to be caught by the old man …
Su Ming quickly turned around and continued chopping wood.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ming had already spent a year with the old man. It had been peaceful, but the number of white dogs in the courtyard had increased from two to five.
As for the remaining three dogs, one was called White Four, one was called White Five, and the last one was also called White Three. Hence, every single time Su Ming called out to White Three, the two white dogs would immediately run over.
As for the three white dogs behind them, one of them came from One Dao Sect, and the other … were from Asura Clan.
Another half a year passed in this manner, and Su Ming received a letter from Gu Tai. They had already found the general area where the Space Whip was. In about another month, they would be able to find its precise location, and Su Ming was asked to make preparations to be Relocated to it.
Su Ming originally thought that he would continue spending the month in peace, but on the fifth day before he left, when the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door to the courtyard.
Almost at the same time the door to the courtyard was knocked, the old man who was skipping after White Five frowned slightly. Su Ming had already stood up and walked to the side of the courtyard's door.
"The bastard is here! Open the door for the bastard!" The old man snorted. Su Ming's expression remained the same, but his eyes focused slightly. When he opened the door to the courtyard, he saw a man standing at the entrance.
He was a middle-aged man dressed in a long white robe who looked very calm. His black hair danced in the wind, and when he stood there, he gave off a feeling that no matter where he was, as long as someone saw him, they would be unable to help themselves and ignore everything else around them. It was as if he was the only person left in the world.
Su Ming stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, and the man stared back at him. His eyes were very clear, and there was not a hint of emotion in them. He smiled faintly at Su Ming.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. He did not speak, but instead turned around and walked to the wooden block. He sat down, picked up the axe, and continued chopping wood. With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man stepped into the courtyard, but at the instant his foot landed, even though not a hint of aura spread out from his body, the courtyard looked as if it had distorted in time. It instantly became dark, and even the light in the sky disappeared. It was as if the middle-aged man was the only person left in the world.
This was … a domineering presence that was not obvious or strong, but was incredibly domineering!
If it was revealed to the world, then it would mean that it was shallow, but once it was restrained, it would be an extremely domineering presence that could cause a person's heart to be in an extreme state of mind, just like the middle-aged man.
When he walked into the courtyard, he did not speak. Once he swept his gaze past the five white dogs, he did not look at the old man. Instead, he came in front of Su Ming and watched him lift the axe to chop wood.
"Not bad. Back out of the fight for the throne, and I will give you the title of Immortal of the World, or else it will be difficult for you, for me, and for him," the white-robed man said flatly. He did not spread any domineering aura outwards, but in Su Ming's heart, his words turned into thunder. As they rumbled, they seemed to replace his entire mental world and charged towards Su Ming's will, creating an invisible bang against the wills of the four Great True Worlds.
Su Ming's grip on the axe froze. He lifted his head slowly and looked at the white-robed man before him coldly.
"Are you looking down on me?"
