Seven Reversed Spirit Pearls had appeared during the seven battles of Dao Verification. The seven Reversed Spirit Pearls were fought over by the seven sects and twelve clans. During the seventh battle of Dao Verification, the Reversed Spirit Pearls were obtained by Seven Moons Sect!
Due to the passage of time, some people had forgotten why Seven Moons Sect could obtain the pearl, but when they remembered it, they could still remember the hardships they went through during that time.
Dao Han stood calmly on the dark cloud and stared at the sky in the distance. A nostalgic look appeared on his face. This was the second time he participated in the battle of Dao Verification, but this time, he was no longer the person who stepped into the third layer of the shattered dimension. Instead, he was a supporter in the first and second layers.
He still remembered the first time he participated in the battle of Dao Verification. He had only joined Seven Moons Sect for a short period of time, but due to his astonishing potential, he was given a heavy responsibility and became a key supporter in Seven Moons Sect when they stepped into the third layer.
During that battle, he killed many people and made a name for himself. He slaughtered so many people that blood flowed in rivers, but he was also heavily injured. All his fellow sect members beside him died for him. In the end, perhaps due to luck, he obtained the largest Phala of Dao Verification.
For Seven Moons Sect, he obtained an unprecedented glory. At that time, Gu Tai excitedly protected him while he staggered back from the third layer. His blood dyed the sky red, and he brought him back to Seven Moons Sect.
From that moment onwards, he was taken in as Gu Tai's disciple and became the youngest great sect elder in Seven Moons Sect. The Reversed Spirit Pearl became the legacy treasure of Seven Moons Sect, and only the great sect elder who was the sect leader of each generation could possess it.
A long time later, when he became the sect leader, he stared at the Reversed Spirit Pearl, and in his mind, his companions' faces before they died would always appear.
At that moment, he had to participate in the battle of Dao Verification again, but he was no longer the main focus. The main focus this time was on Su Ming. Dao Han lifted his head and looked at Su Ming.
'When he returns and succeeds, will he feel the same sentimental sentiments as I do?' Dao Han closed his eyes. The third layer of the Tree of Dao Verification appeared in his mind. When he stepped into it all those years ago, he had been cautious and vigilant all the way. It was a space filled with life and death situations. It was … a game of life and death.
"Fortunately, due to the fragmentation of space, especially the extreme instability of the third layer, only those below the Dao Master level can enter. Once you've reached the Dao Master level, it's impossible for you to enter. You'll be rejected." Dao Han opened his eyes and his expression became calm again. He stopped reminiscing about the past and sighed.
Xu Zhong Fan was also looking at Su Ming. He hesitated for a moment before he took a few slow steps forward and sat down cross-legged beside him.
"Be careful …" Xu Zhong Fan said softly after a moment of silence.
Su Ming opened his meditating eyes and looked at Xu Zhong Fan. This person had taken the initiative to become his Master in the past. At that moment, Su Ming could tell that there was sincerity in his concern towards Su Ming. Even if it was for the sake of his cultivation base and kismet, no matter what, Su Ming still remembered his concern.
"There's no need for you to be the first to enter the third layer. You'll just become the target of everyone. Even if you don't get the Phala, it's fine." Xu Zhong Fan stared at Su Ming with worry on his face. After a moment of pensive silence, he brought out a medicinal core and placed it in Su Ming's hand.
"This is … a Death Pretending Core! Once you swallow it, your body and soul will be destroyed for an hour. If you run into a life and death situation, you can swallow it first and fake your death to escape, "Xu Zhong Fan said softly. Once he finished speaking, he cast Su Ming a deep glance, then turned around and walked backwards.
Su Ming stared at the medicinal core in his hand, then turned his head around to look at Xu Zhong Fan's back before he quietly put it away.
Soon, two hours passed. While sitting in the clouds, Su Ming saw the ground beneath him leave into the distance. Then, he saw an incredibly huge city in the central plains of Ancient Zang, which was located in the sky!
That was Ancient Zang's capital, and it was also the place Su Ming would come to two thousand something years later. He still remembered his Master, who looked exactly the same as Tian Xie Zi. He had once told him that when he came to the city gates, he would wait for him there to answer his final question.
As he approached Ancient Zang's capital, Su Ming saw quite a number of cultivators from various sects and clans in the sky. They had arrived a long time ago. Su Ming did not recognize any of them, but based on their camps, he could tell that they were from five sects and clans.
They rode on different Enchanted Treasures. Some of them were huge dragons with nine heads, some were huge gourds, and some were screens of light. When Seven Moons Sect arrived, they became the sixth camp of sects and clans.
No one spoke. The cultivators from the sects and clans sat cross-legged on their Enchanted Vessels and closed their eyes to rest.
When another two hours passed, booming sounds echoed in the air. The sects and clans arrived one after another. Su Ming saw One Dao Sect and Immortal Qing Han from Asura Clan.
He also saw … the first prince from One Dao Sect surrounded by a group of cultivators! The much younger Old Man Extermination was also staring at Su Ming coldly. In fact, in some aspects, he looked like Lei Chen.
At the instant their gazes met, it was as if there was a sword glare shining in their eyes, and killing intent shone in them.
When the two of them moved their gazes away at the same time, they looked at the figure surrounded by a ball of fog in Asura Clan. Naturally, it was the second prince. This was the first time Su Ming saw him. At the instant he looked at him, he did not find anything familiar about him.
Su Ming closed his eyes and no longer paid any attention to him. When dusk arrived, the seven sects and twelve clans all arrived in the sky above Ancient Zang's capital. The millions of cultivators in the sky formed a great mighty pressure that enveloped the world.
When all the sects and clans arrived, they slowly formed an alliance. It could be seen that this alliance was formed with Seven Moons Sect, One Dao Sect, and Asura Clan as the foundation.
"In a moment, when the next level opens and we step into the shattered space, there's no need to worry about the so-called alliances. Alliances like that would normally be fine, but now that we're fighting over the Dao Corroboration Fruit, it's inevitable that something unexpected will happen.
"That is why once you step into the first shattered dimension, no matter where you are and whether you have people from the same sect beside you, you must remember that if you have the chance to leave your Brand on the altar, then immediately do so. If you don't have the chance, then use your fastest speed to gather at the spot marked in your jade slips!" Gu Tai's voice echoed in the hearts of the two hundred thousand cultivators from Seven Moons Sect.
"Every time the Dao Proving Tournament takes place, one level at a time. The first level has a hundred thousand altars, and the first sect to reach fifty thousand altars will immediately enter the second level. If no sect has fifty thousand altars in advance, then after seventy-two hours, the sect with the most altars will be the first to enter, and so on. Sects with less than ten thousand altars are not qualified to enter the second level!
I made an agreement with the other sects and clans that they will support Seven Moons Sect with all their strength and guarantee that we will be on our side in the second layer! "But we cannot trust this agreement completely. We will have to rely on Seven Moons Sect's strength.
"Su Ming … must do the same. Gather at the gathering spot as soon as possible." When Gu Tai's voice echoed in the air, a faint whisper suddenly reached Su Ming's ears.
"If you can make it to the gathering spot, then do so. If you can't, then search for a place to hide. Great Dao Paragons will appear in the first layer, and it will be very dangerous … As for the second layer, Great Dao Paragons cannot step into it, but Dao Paragons are also a threat.
"The third layer is slightly better … but due to the competition of successors, it's hard to say. The true agreement I made with the other sects and clans is not what I told the people just now … but to suppress the interference in the dimension around you with all their strength so that you can bring … the five white dogs into the third layer smoothly!
"We are somewhat confident in this, but if we can do this, One Dao Sect and Asura Clan can do the same, which is why you have to be especially wary of the third layer." Gu Tai's voice reached Su Ming's ears. When Su Ming heard it, his expression remained calm, and he nodded.
At that moment, an orange-red pillar of light suddenly shot out from the royal capital of Ancient Zang. That pillar of light was thousands of feet in size, and it shot into the sky from the circle formed by the seven sects and twelve clans before disappearing into the sky.
A loud bang reverberated through the entire sky of Ancient Zang. The orange-red pillar of light seemed to have dyed the sky, and a huge orange-red vortex appeared at the end of the sky. That vortex rotated with loud rumbles and covered the entire sky that could be seen by the naked eye.
The huge vortex rotated rapidly for about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. When the orange-red pillar of light disappeared, a huge black hole was revealed at the vortex in the sky.
"The Tree of Dao Verification has bloomed, and its fruit has manifested. All sects and clans, do your best …" A faint voice with an awe-inspiring tone came from Ancient Zang's capital. It echoed in the world. When they heard it, respect appeared on almost all the cultivators' faces, because they knew that the person who had spoken was the Sovereign of Ancient Zang, one of the three legendary ninth level Dao Gods of Ancient Zang!
Su Ming lowered his head and felt as if he was being stared at. It was as if someone in the capital had lifted his head and cast his gaze on him.
At the instant the Sovereign of Ancient Zang finished speaking, an indescribable suction force instantly enveloped the area and enveloped the millions of cultivators from the seven sects and twelve clans. Long arcs flew up and charged towards the black hole at the center of the vortex.
The instant the cultivators from Seven Moons Sect were about to be sucked into the black hole, Gu Tai lifted his hands and pushed against the dark cloud. It immediately crumbled with a bang and turned into two hundred thousand jade slips. They instantly appeared in the hands of all the people from Seven Moons Sect, including Su Ming. A jade slip appeared on his palm.
"Use this jade slip to touch the altar!" When Gu Tai spoke, he was swept into the black hole in the vortex.
The roars of millions of people instantly turned into a scene that shook the sky and earth. Su Ming moved, and the Feng Shui compass under his feet disappeared. With the five white dogs and the countless people beside him, he stepped into the black hole in the vortex in the sky.
