"Break the door!" When Su Ming said those words flatly, a brilliant light shone in the eyes of the five white dogs behind him. They were powerful Dao Paragons from One Dao Sect and Asura Clan. All of them were at the same level as Xu Zhong Fan, and if they were placed in any sect or clan, they would be great sect elders of an area.
If the five of them worked together, then to a certain extent, they could even change the trajectory of a sect. Right then, they were forced to follow Su Ming. They were originally filled with anger, but they did not dare to show even a hint of it. When Su Ming said those words, the five white dogs immediately charged forward. They might have the bodies of animals, but when they left, their cultivation bases had been completely restored. Besides having their lives and deaths in Su Ming's hands and having their bodies changed, their levels of cultivation had not changed in the slightest.
The full powered attacks from the five white dogs were equivalent to five powerful Dao Paragons attacking at full power. Booming sounds instantly reverberated through the cave, creating endless echoes. When the people outside the mountain heard it, it sounded as if someone was roaring.
Cracking sounds of time immediately came from the ice gate. At the instant it did so, Su Ming's pupils shrank. The moment the cracks appeared, they immediately returned to normal. It was as if even if the five Dao Paragons attacked together, they would not be able to break the gate.
However … there was a row of simple and unadorned characters on the ice door.
"If you wish to come under my tutelage, then bow three times and kowtow nine times. Those who are fated with me may enter!"
Su Ming stared at the row of words. He understood how Guru Xing Chen had managed to enter the place, but Su Ming would definitely not do it. He could worship Gu Hong, but that was because the man was sincere towards him, but worshipping Xuan Zang was something Su Ming could not do.
An aloof look appeared in his eyes. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the door. When he lifted his left hand, he pushed his right hand behind him. When his palm was turned up, the five white dogs immediately closed in and touched Su Ming's right hand. More accurately speaking, they touched the mark of the crescent moon on Su Ming's right palm.
Immediately, the vast cultivation bases from the five white dogs surged into Su Ming's body through his right hand. At the same time, a dark light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At the instant he pushed his left hand against the ice door, he spoke faintly.
"Time Reversal!" He wanted to use his cultivation base to reverse the time when the ice gate was formed. He wanted to turn it back to countless years before it was formed!
Su Ming did not know just how much time he could reverse, but this was the only way for him to break the gate!
Time passed, and the air around Su Ming seemed to distort. It was a sign of time flowing backwards. Soon, a reflection appeared on the ice gate, but it was not Su Ming … but Guru Xing Chen.
Based on the reflection, it could be seen that Guru Xing Chen had been in this place many years ago and had kowtowed repeatedly towards the door. Then, when Guru Xing Chen's body disappeared, White Five shuddered and fell down. All of his cultivation base had been sucked away. Once he fell down, he immediately circulated his cultivation base so that he could recover as quickly as possible.
After all, the cultivation base that was sucked away did not remain in Su Ming's body, and neither did he destroy White Five's foundation. Only by destroying his foundation could he turn White Five's cultivation base into his own, which was why this method of borrowing White Five's cultivation base would not leave too much of an impression on White Five.
Time flowed once more. When the white dogs behind Su Ming fell down one after another, the ice gate in front of Su Ming suddenly became thinner. After a moment, it looked as if there was only a layer of skin left on the ice gate, and when it disappeared, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He saw a scene that no one else could see.
In it, Su Ming saw the back of a person dressed in black robes. That person had his right hand lifted, and he looked as if he was lifting his sleeve in the direction of the empty spot where the ice gate was. Su Ming would never forget that person's back. It was … Xuan Zang!
Su Ming's expression did not change much. In fact, he only cast a glance at the picture before he immediately took a step forward and entered the cave abode in an instant.
At the instant he did so, the ice gate behind him appeared once more. It was as complete as before, and the chilling air it exuded was chilling, but no matter what, Su Ming was already standing in the cave abode.
He swept his gaze across the area, and the first thing he saw was a huge ancient mirror right in front of the cave abode. There was a cushion on the other side of the mirror.
There were six chambers around him. At that moment, three of them were open, and the remaining three were sealed.
When Su Ming averted his gaze, he arrived outside the first sealed chamber. After a moment of pensive silence, he lifted his right hand and pressed it against the stone wall, but at the instant he did so, a layer of ripples appeared on the stone wall. As they spread out, the stone wall gradually became transparent.
It allowed Su Ming's gaze to pierce through the stone wall and see a skeleton sitting cross-legged in the chamber. Right before that skeleton was a gigantic medicinal cauldron. It was as if this person had been creating pills even before he died.
There were also some shelves in the chamber, and there were quite a number of medicinal pill bottles placed on them. However, most of them were slanted, and there were quite a number of broken medicinal pill bottles on the ground. Many medicinal pills were scattered all over the place.
But there were also some intact ones. They might not be many, but based on the light shining on them, Su Ming could tell that they were extraordinary.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he frowned. When he lifted his right hand, the ripples on the stone door to the chamber froze and turned back into a stone door. He could no longer see what was inside.
'It's a pity that I can't continue using the power to reverse time with my current level of cultivation … I can only use the remaining power when I go out.' In pensive silence, Su Ming walked to the second sealed chamber and lifted his right hand as well. At the instant he touched the stone door, ripples spread out and it became transparent.
It allowed Su Ming to see a skeleton in the chamber. It clearly belonged to a woman. She was sitting cross-legged, and in front of her was a Feng Shui compass. It was missing a corner, as if the woman had used the last of her strength to repair the Feng Shui compass before she died.
Su Ming stared at the Feng Shui compass, and as he did so, a dark light shone in his eyes. If the Feng Shui compass was magnified several times, it would be the Feng Shui compass where Xuan Zang had been sitting cross-legged in Su Ming's memories!
In silence, Su Ming lifted his right hand and walked to the final sealed chamber. At the instant his right hand touched the chamber, his pupils shrank, and a shocking roar seemed to echo in his heart.
That roar was incredibly real. When the ripples spread out from the stone door and it became transparent, Su Ming finally saw who was roaring in his heart!
It was … a black python, and there was a ferocious dragon head on its tail. At that moment, it did not matter whether it was the python or the dragon head, both of them were roaring and roaring at Su Ming, who was standing outside the stone door.
As he roared, an invisible wave of impact seemed to have shot through the stone door and landed on Su Ming's body. It immediately impacted his memories, and when it did so, Su Ming felt as if his mind had been torn apart, and a galaxy was forced to appear before him.
There were countless stars in this starry sky, and these stars were rapidly arranging themselves to form a huge whip!
"Those who enter the mansion are fated to meet you. Three doors can be opened, and three doors will not be opened unless it is the master. I will grant you the projection of the stars to search for the master's tracks!"
There was an ancient air to that voice, but it echoed in Su Ming's mind like thunder. It trembled his body, causing him to lift his right hand and stagger three steps backwards. Blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth. When he lifted his head, he stared at the stone door that was rapidly becoming less transparent. When he looked over, he did not see the python or the dragon head, but … a black rope bracelet floating in midair in the chamber!
That item was the rope with the nine Reversed Spirit Pearls in Xuan Zang's right hand!
Su Ming wiped off the blood at the corners of his mouth. His goal for coming to this place was the Space Whip. A glint appeared in his eyes, and when he lifted his right hand, the power of time gathered on him. He pointed at the stone door where the Space Whip was.
Yet at the instant Su Ming pointed forward, the stone door shuddered with a bang. A huge rebound tumbled backwards and charged towards Su Ming, as if it had reflected the power of reversing time back at him. When it was about to drown him, he swung his arm, and the power of reversing time immediately disappeared.
With a dark expression, he stared at the stone door for a long time.
'Time reversal doesn't work on this door …' Su Ming frowned. He swept his gaze across the cave abode, and his eyes fell on the ancient mirror. At the instant he saw it, a thought appeared in his mind. Once he slowly approached it, he looked at his own reflection in the ancient mirror, and what he saw was Wang Tao's face.
He stared at the ancient mirror quietly and fell into a moment of pensive silence. Then, he slowly sat down on the cushion in front of the ancient mirror. At the instant he did so, he lifted his head. When he looked at the ancient mirror, a brilliant light shone in his eyes.
"I knew it!" Su Ming said softly. What he saw in the ancient mirror … was no longer Wang Tao, and neither was it Su Ming. Instead, he saw a face he would never forget … Xuan Zang, who was dressed in a black robe and meditating!
"If that's the case …" Su Ming sighed softly. When he lifted his right hand, he cut the tip of his finger. When blood flowed out, Su Ming flung his right arm, and three drops of blood immediately flew out to land on the three sealed doors.
At the instant the three drops of blood landed on the three stone doors, they immediately let out a loud roar and turned blood-red. Then, as if they were melting, the blood spread out, causing the stone doors … to open!
At the instant the stone doors were opened, the Space Whip with the head of a python and the tail of a dragon flew out and charged towards Su Ming. Su Ming was silent. He did not dodge, but when a resolute look shone in his eyes, he lifted his right hand and stretched it towards the incoming python. At the instant the python closed in on him, its body disappeared and turned into a black chain that wrapped itself around Su Ming's right wrist.
At the same time, the Feng Shui compass in the chamber with the woman's skeleton flew out with a buzzing sound. When it closed in on Su Ming, it fused with the cushion under him, causing a huge Feng Shui compass to appear beneath him!
Su Ming lifted his head quietly. As booming sounds shook the sky and earth in the cave abode, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were swaying, he looked towards the ancient mirror again.
"I'm not you," Su Ming said faintly.
