Su Ming paused for a moment before he suddenly said, "Come and Possess me!"
His words were so shocking that He Feng was completely stunned. His mouth fell open, and he only recovered after a long while. Nervousness and fear immediately appeared on his face as he quickly explained, "Mas … Master, this … I … I didn't do anything wrong. Before I fainted, I was still fighting for you … I …"
"I told you to Possess me, so do it! Don't talk too much!" Su Ming looked at He Feng coldly. His face might have seemed aloof, but in truth, he was secretly observing He Feng's reaction.
He Feng was still at a loss. He looked at Su Ming with a wry smile and hesitated for a moment before he knelt down on the ground. There were no tears in his eyes, but they still shone brightly.
"Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Master, please forgive me this time. I won't do it again."
Su Ming's eyes shone brightly. Through the thread of connection between their souls, he could feel He Feng's nervousness and fear. There was no joy within it.
"Master, you can't Possess me. If I Possess you, it'll mean that you'll be erased. I … I … If you're erased by me, I won't be able to live either. I'll be killing myself …" He Feng did not know how to explain himself for a moment.
"I'm not asking you to Possess me completely. When I tell you to stop, you can stop," Su Ming stated unhurriedly. This was very important to him. It would decide whether he would enter the entrance and whether he would face Han Mountain's ancestor.
He had to familiarize himself with the process of Possession and see whether he could find a method that would give him a certain level of confidence before he could take the gamble. The reason why he chose He Feng was because he had thought about it carefully.
"Master, I've never Possessed anyone before. I only know the method … Are … Are you sure you want to try?" He Feng hesitated for a moment. When he saw Su Ming nodding his head, he gritted his teeth and did not dare resist. His Spirit Body moved and turned into a ray of dark light that charged towards the center of Su Ming's brows. In an instant, it touched Su Ming's forehead. The dark light shone brightly as if it had fused with him.
Su Ming shuddered and slowly closed his eyes.
"Master … Master …" Voices calling out to him echoed in Su Ming's head. He opened his eyes. This was a world shrouded in fog. Only the area of less than 100 feet around him was empty. The fog tumbled around him, and muffled rumbling sounds reverberated in the air.
"This is Master's mind, and also the place where the first step of possession will appear." He Feng's cautious voice traveled into Su Ming's ears. He turned his head around and saw He Feng's Spirit Body standing beside him.
There was a mighty pressure coming from his Spirit Body that made Su Ming slightly uncomfortable. He lowered his head and looked at himself, and he was stunned.
At that moment, he no longer had a body. He was just a faint ball of dark light. However, there was a line in the depths of that dark light. That line was connected to He Feng's Spirit Body, giving Su Ming a feeling that with just one thought, He Feng would immediately die.
Besides that line, Su Ming also saw something else. That thing was rather indistinct in the faint ball of dark light. Even Su Ming himself had to sense it carefully before he could notice it.
'This is …' Su Ming focused his attention on it, and the moment he did so, he immediately felt as if his consciousness was being sucked away. He was dragged into the faint, dark light, right beside the indistinct object.
It was a black stone, and it was covered by the dark light, which was why it was difficult for people to see it clearly.
'It's that …' The moment Su Ming saw the stone, his heart trembled, causing the dark light to flicker violently. He Feng was instantly shocked.
He Feng was terrified. He was afraid that Su Ming would accidentally touch the line in his Spirit Ball and die here. That would be too much of a waste.
Su Ming observed the stone. This thing had been with him for many years and had always been hanging around his neck. He did not expect to see it here.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Ming tried to get closer to it once again, but the moment his consciousness touched the stone …
"Big brother … big brother …"
"Big brother … I can feel … big brother …" The familiar female voice echoed strongly in Su Ming's consciousness at that moment, causing him to tremble.
That voice seemed to have been buried in his heart for a long time. It could not be wiped away, neither could it disappear. In the past, when it came from his dreams, it had always made him feel that it was indistinct and distant, but now, the voice was so strong that it was as if it was right before his eyes.
He had no idea how much time had passed before Su Ming regained his consciousness. He left the stone hidden in the dark light and remained silent for a long time.
"Master …" He Feng was already extremely nervous. At that moment, he spoke carefully.
"Let's begin," Su Ming said calmly.
"Yes, Master. This is also the first time I've entered someone else's mind, but your mind is a little different from mine. Why is there so much fog..?" He Feng looked at his surroundings. He was afraid that Su Ming would misunderstand. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Su Ming.
"Master, Possession is actually very simple. I just need to devour the Spirit Ball of the Possessed … But don't worry, I wouldn't dare devour it. It'll be the same even if I fuse with it …"
"Alright." Su Ming nodded.
"I've gone too far." He Feng gritted his teeth and charged towards Su Ming with his Spirit Body. However, judging by his respectful demeanor, it did not seem like he was trying to Possess him. The moment He Feng's Spirit Body closed in on Su Ming, they quickly touched each other. He Feng shuddered, and Su Ming's consciousness trembled.
He felt as if thunder was roaring in his mind. Soon after, the fog around him suddenly started tumbling about furiously, and the booming sounds coming from within shook the sky and earth.
As the fog tumbled about, Su Ming and He Feng's Spirit Bodies rapidly melted. This was not devouring, but fusing. The two people's consciousnesses fused together so that they could not be separated from each other. If this continued, then what would eventually appear would not be He Feng or Su Ming, but would instead be the combined consciousness of both of them.
Su Ming felt himself becoming weaker. He felt as if he could disappear at any moment during the fusion, but at that moment, he did not care about any of this. He only stared at the fog outside.
He could clearly see that as the fog continued tumbling about, a part of it started thinning out. Gradually, most of the thin fog dissipated, revealing the moving pictures and memories hidden under the fog.
He saw himself, Nan Tian, and the others stepping into the secret tunnel. He saw himself walking up Tranquil East Mountain. He saw himself sleeping at the top of a desolate mountain with the blood moon in the sky.
His memories were like flowing water, flowing backwards bit by bit before Su Ming.
He saw himself refining He Feng. He saw himself fighting against Han Fei Zi. He saw himself meditating calmly when he noticed He Feng and Xuan Lun closing in on him.
He saw the Chains of Han Mountain in Han Mountain City. He saw Fang Mu bringing herbs to him. He saw himself recovering from his injuries and capturing Fang Mu …
His memories continued replaying in his mind until some of the moving pictures showed Su Ming sitting in the mountain cave and healing his injuries, not moving a single inch.
"Master … I can't hold on anymore … If this continues, I'll really fuse with him!" He Feng's anxious voice echoed in Su Ming's mind.
"And Master, what's in your Spirit Sphere?! The more I fuse with him, the stronger the rejection. What … What is this..? It's … It's sucking me … Ah … "Terror suddenly appeared in He Feng's voice, as if he had just encountered something unbelievable and shocking.
Su Ming's mind trembled. He could feel He Feng's terror. This was also the first time he noticed that the stone in his Spirit Sphere was producing an increasingly stronger suction force. It was not sucking in him, but He Feng, who was trying to fuse with him!
Su Ming split a part of his mind to suppress the stone's suction force. His weak but firm voice traveled into He Feng's Spirit Sphere.
"Continue."
"Master … I … This is …"
"Continue!"
He Feng no longer spoke. Instead, he continued fusing with the Spirit Sphere while trembling in fear. At that moment, his heart was filled with regret, and he was also terrified. He did not know what was in Su Ming's Spirit Sphere. The feeling he got from it was one of terror he had never felt before in his life. He had a feeling that if he continued like this, then Su Ming would not even need to kill him. He would lose everything.
Su Ming looked at the fog outside. Once the fog thinned out, new changes appeared in his memories as he meditated.
It was a day filled with thunder and rain. There were a few vultures circling in the sky. There was a person who seemed to be dead lying on the mountainside. The vultures hesitated for a long time before one of them landed on the person's body. When the other vultures arrived, the person who seemed to be dead suddenly grabbed the vulture's neck.
He opened his eyes.
The scene changed once again. This time, it was still a day filled with thunder and rain. It was no longer day, but night. Bolts of lightning crackled in the sky, and suddenly, a gigantic crack appeared in midair.
That crack was like a gaping mouth, and there was a ghastly air about it. Its appearance made the rain in the sky freeze in midair. Even the bolts of lightning froze in midair. They hung in the sky, unmoving.
Su Ming became nervous. At that moment, he had forgotten about everything else. The scene before him became the only thing in his mind!
A person struggled to crawl out of the dark crack. That person was covered in blood. The moment he appeared, Su Ming saw that person with the help of the stilled lightning. His eyes were wide open, and the light in his eyes was one of grief.
He laughed sorrowfully and fell from the sky. He rolled down from the top of the mountain and was stopped by a big stone halfway up the mountain. He fell there, unmoving.
That person … was Su Ming …
"Master, I … I … can't take it anymore!" The scene in the fog changed once again. This time, it was pitch black, as if it was not a piece of land or sky.
Yet at that moment, He Feng let out a pained scream. The thin fog before Su Ming's eyes instantly thickened, and the scene disappeared.
The empty space of 100 feet had turned into an empty space of 150 feet. He Feng was curled up by the side, looking incredibly weak. He looked at Su Ming pitifully, and there was still fear in his eyes.
'If I persist any longer, I'll die … Thank goodness it's just a fusion and not a devouring, or else …' He Feng shuddered and thought in his heart. As he looked at Su Ming, he did not know what to say.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he nodded towards He Feng.
"Thank you. Let's … go out."
