"You … you are …" Chen Yu Bing quickly turned around and was about to pay his respects. However, when he saw the middle-aged man, he was clearly stunned.
"Junior … Junior Uncle Bai?" Chen Yu Bing's heart roared and his expression changed drastically. He might have known that the people guarding the barrier outside Freezing Sky Clan's territory were all from Freezing Sky Clan, but he also knew that the people guarding the barrier here were definitely the same.
However, he had never expected that the person guarding this place would be the man in front of him.
He had only seen this person once in the past, but he had a deep impression of him. In truth, he was not the only one who knew of this person's existence. Most of the people in Freezing Sky Clan knew of his existence.
"No wonder he allowed us to stand on the barrier …" Chen Yu Bing was very nervous. He bowed deeply to the middle-aged man with a respectful expression.
"I, Chen Yu Bing, disciple of Freezing Sky Clan, greet uncle master Bai."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and no longer bothered himself with Chen Yu Bing. Instead, he looked at Su Ming, and after sizing him up a few times, he spoke calmly.
"What's your name?"
When the middle-aged man sized Su Ming up with his gaze, he could clearly feel a wave of pressure coming towards him, but what puzzled him was that this pressure did not intimidate him. Instead, for some unknown reason, it gave him a sense of familiarity.
"I am Su Ming. Greetings, uncle master Bai." Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm and spoke calmly.
"He must have just Transcended," the middle-aged man said slowly.
"Yes." Su Ming nodded.
"You shouldn't have been taken into Freezing Sky Clan, or else with your status as a Divine General, those old men wouldn't have only sent Outer Sect Disciples to receive you." The middle-aged man's voice was still cold.
"Yes …" Su Ming nodded again.
"It's fine if you don't want to go to Freezing Sky Clan. Stay here and guard this place with me. Be my disciple. Besides me, there aren't many in the entire Freezing Sky Clan who can teach you a suitable cultivation method." There was a tone in the middle-aged man's words that allowed no refusal.
Su Ming was stunned.
Chen Yu Bing was also stunned. His eyes were filled with envy. As for Han Fei Zi, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.
"This … Junior already has a master." Su Ming hesitated for a moment. He could feel that the closeness between him and the middle-aged man became stronger as they conversed with each other.
"Oh? Who is it? I'll personally make him give up. "The middle-aged man's voice was calm, but it revealed a shocking arrogance.
"It's … Tian Xie Zi." It was the first time Su Ming was suddenly taken in as a disciple by two people.
The moment he said this name, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became strange. He seemed helpless, as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as if he was angry. In the end, his expression turned into a cold snort.
"Acknowledge him as your master. If there comes a day when you regret it, you can look for me."
When Chen Yu Bing heard that name, his expression changed once again and he looked at Su Ming in surprise. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not. However, he instinctively took a step back and widened the distance between him and Su Ming.
A sense of foreboding gradually formed in Su Ming's heart. It did not matter whether it was the middle-aged man's words or Chen Yu Bing's instinctive actions, all of them seemed to be conveying a rather bad meaning …
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You three, tell me, what do you see standing here?" The middle-aged man's voice was still cold. He did not look at Su Ming, but at the vast world beyond the barrier.
Su Ming fell silent and looked at the ground before him. The roars seemed to reach his ears once again. The entire world beyond the barrier was enveloped in a desolate and bloody atmosphere. It might have seemed quiet, but it gave Su Ming an oppressive feeling. That oppressive feeling came from the silence, from the desolate land, from the black soil, and from the endless barrier under his feet.
"Hatred. I see hatred." Chen Yu Bing was the first to speak. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the land.
"The Shamans' hatred towards us, and our hatred towards them." Chen Yu Bing's words were firm, as if he was very confident in his answer.
"You're right. This is what the old people in Freezing Sky Clan instilled into us, but it doesn't make any sense!" the middle-aged man said coldly.
Chen Yu Bing smiled bitterly and lowered his head in agreement. His answer was indeed the common understanding of most of the people in Freezing Sky Clan towards the world beyond the barrier.
"What about you, lass? Tell me, what do you see?" The middle-aged man did not look at Han Fei Zi, but continued looking at the desolate land.
Han Fei Zi's face was still slightly pale. After a moment of pensive silence, she said softly, "I don't see anything."
The moment she said those words, the middle-aged man turned his head around and cast Han Fei Zi a deep look.
"What's your name?"
"I am Yan Fei," Han Fei Zi bowed and answered respectfully.
The middle-aged man remained silent for a moment before he asked Su Ming, "Su Ming, what do you see?"
After a long while, Su Ming answered languidly, "I see desire."
"The left preceptor took in a good disciple. That old coot Tian Xie also took in a good disciple." The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and lifted his right hand to point at the world beyond the barrier.
"You can see the Land of South Morning as a circle." As he spoke, he swung his right hand before him and a layer of black light appeared out of thin air. A black circle appeared before the crowd.
"This is the barrier." As he spoke, he drew another small circle in the circle with his right hand.
"Inside is the inner world. Outside is the place you see.
"The barrier exists to prevent the invasion of ferocious beasts and the invasion of Shamans. "As for the Shamans, they are a tribe that is completely different from us.
"The Shaman tribes have a system similar to ours. They also have their own Elders, but they are called Patriarchs … You will know more about these things in the future."
When Su Ming heard the middle-aged man's words, he suddenly had an urge. After a moment of silence, he hesitated for a moment before he asked, "Senior, if there is a barrier in the Land of South Morning, then what is beyond the barrier? What are the other continents of the Berserker Tribe like now? "
"I don't know," the middle-aged man answered calmly.
"I only know that the Great Yu Dynasty still exists … I know this because the deity statues will occasionally appear and there will be Divine Generals who will be given titles. "As for the continent where the Great Yu Dynasty is, I've never been there. In truth, it's incredibly rare for the people in the Land of South Morning to walk through the Shaman Tribe and leave the Land of South Morning.
"By the way, your Master, Tian Xie … He once left the Land of South Morning. According to him, he went to the Great Yu Dynasty and made quite a few good friends there. I don't know whether other people believe him, but I don't believe him.
"Besides the Land of South Morning and the Great Yu Dynasty, I don't know whether there are still Berserkers in the other continents.
"The Berserker Tribe has already declined … We are no longer as glorious as we were during the time of the first God of Berserkers." The middle-aged man sighed softly and his expression was a little downcast.
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath. He had never heard of these secrets before. As his heart trembled, he looked at the vast world beyond the barrier and a feeling of helplessness and distance filled his heart.
'I know that the Alliance of the Western Region exists, because I came from the Alliance of the Western Region …' Su Ming mumbled quietly in his heart.
"Alright, besides the guards, no one is allowed to stay here for long. You …" The middle-aged man swung his arm, and just as he was about to dismiss Su Ming and the others, a moaning roar suddenly came from the world beyond the barrier. With an increasingly louder sound, it charged towards them with a howl that grew louder with each passing moment.
The moment that sound appeared, the barrier under Su Ming's feet immediately shuddered and a powerful pressure rose naturally out of thin air. The strength of that pressure instantly reached its peak, causing Han Fei Zi and Chen Yu Bing's expressions to change drastically and they coughed out a mouthful of blood.
If the middle-aged man had not swung his right hand and caused a violent gust of wind to sweep Han Fei Zi and Chen Yu Bing back and send them out of the mountain range, the two of them would have been heavily injured.
Su Ming did not retreat, because at that moment, when he heard the moaning sound, the presence of Transcendence surged forth from his body. That presence spread out from his body and turned into a layer of black mist. That black mist surrounded his body and turned into a black armor.
The Divine General's Illusory Armor!
The appearance of the armor allowed him to withstand the mighty pressure from the mountain range barrier, albeit with great difficulty. His eyes shone brilliantly as he looked at the vast world in the distance. What he saw next caused his entire body to tremble, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
Han Fei Zi and Chen Yu Bing could not see what he saw. They were not standing on the barrier. What they saw at that moment was the world distorting and blocking out all their gazes.
Only Su Ming and the middle-aged man named Bai by his side, who had a grave expression on their faces, saw that scene!
The sea of clouds tumbled about in the vast world beyond the barrier. Those clouds were dark, and as they tumbled about, they looked like black fog that covered an area of several thousands of lis. Within that sea of clouds, Su Ming saw a gigantic ferocious beast that left him in disbelief.
That was a gigantic mackerel pike. With the world as its ocean, it leapt into the air in the distance, and the moaning sound came from its mouth.
Su Ming also saw a person standing on its back!
That person was a woman. Her face could not be seen clearly, but he could see that she wore a long purple robe. Her black hair floated in the air, and she looked as if she was a peerless beauty.
"She is a member of the Shaman Tribe." A cold voice came from Su Ming's side. The middle-aged man named Bai lifted his foot and took a step towards the sky beyond the barrier.
The moment he took that step, a large amount of white fog suddenly surged out of his body. That white fog surrounded his entire body and turned into a white armor that was completely different from the one Su Ming wore!
The armor exuded a powerful presence, causing the middle-aged man to look as if he could not be defeated.
'Divine General!' Su Ming's heart trembled. He finally knew why he felt close to this middle-aged man, why Chen Yu Bing was so nervous and respectful when he saw this person, why this person allowed Su Ming and the others to stand on the barrier, and why he took him in as his disciple. It was because this person was the same as Su Ming, a Divine General!
Besides, he was not a Divine General of Transcendence, but … a Divine General of Bone Sacrifice!
There is one more chapter, and it will be slightly later. The plot of the map will change, and there will be a lot of new information. It will be slightly difficult to write. He originally wanted to write two chapters today, but since he made a promise, he had to do his best. It will still be three chapters.
