"Second Senior Brother's personality was very good. He liked flowers and plants, so he circled a large piece of land in the mountains to plant. Later, because he was too hardworking, he believed that he could do better, but he planted too much. Slowly, most of the land in the mountains became his. If you walk out in the middle of the night, you should be able to see his figure moving around the area.
"Second senior brother has a strange habit of going out at night to look after his plants. Don't be afraid when you see him. "That guy is always full of energy. He always thinks that someone will sneak in and steal his plants."
The man brought Su Ming into the ninth summit and landed on the stairs halfway up the mountain, mumbling under his breath.
Su Ming could no longer describe what he was thinking at that moment. He stood on the stairs and looked at the place beneath his feet, which might have been clean in the past, but was now in ruins, especially when he saw that there were plants that could grow in snow all over the place. When he remembered what the man had said to his second senior brother, he could not help but smile wryly.
The man mumbled as he walked up the stairs. As he spoke, a thought suddenly appeared in Su Ming's mind. He lifted his head swiftly and saw a man in white standing on the snow not too far away. He had no idea when he had appeared. He was standing there and looking at Su Ming and the man with a smile on his face.
"Hu Zi, this must be our youngest junior brother." The man looked to be in his thirties. He had an elegant face and his white robes exuded a gentle air that was not cold.
"Morning, second senior brother," the man said casually and pointed at Su Ming. He pointed at Su Ming and said, "He's the youngest junior brother the old coot brought here. What's his name? Su? That's right, it's me."
Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the sky. It was still slightly dark, as if dusk was about to arrive. However, there was still light from the snow in the northern part of the snow, causing the place to still look bright.
However, he could not use the word 'morning' to greet someone at this time.
"Yes, I did wake up a little early today." The gentle man yawned and nodded at Su Ming with a smile.
"Youngest junior brother, so your name is Su. This name … Not bad, not bad. Junior brother, you have to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do everything!" As the man in white spoke, he lifted his head and looked at the sky.
"I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore. I woke up too early today. I'm going to catch up on sleep. I still have to keep watch at night. I lost a lot of my plants last night." The white-robed man turned around and was just about to leave when he suddenly came to a halt. He turned his head around and looked at Su Ming with a gentle gaze.
"Youngest junior brother, everything in the mountain might be different from what Master said, but there is one thing that will never change. Freezing Sky Clan, the ninth summit, is your home!
No one can bully you here. "The man in white smiled and turned to leave.
Su Ming fell silent. He could not see through the white-robed man's level of cultivation. In fact, to him, this person was just like a mortal. There was not a hint of pressure or ripples of Qi coming from him.
However, his words just now remained clearly in Su Ming's mind, refusing to disappear even after a long time had passed.
"Don't trust this guy." Unfortunately, another voice came from beside Su Ming and shattered this feeling. The man called Hu Zi had a gloomy look on his face.
"When I came up the mountain in the past, second senior brother also said the same thing. I was really touched, but in truth, youngest junior brother, you don't know this. I've been beaten up by the people from Freezing Sky Clan many times over the years. Every single time I ran back to the mountain, second senior brother never helped me. Every single time I went to him, he would be so angry that he wanted to take revenge with me, but every single time he got angry, he would fall asleep …
"I once waited at his place for three months and refused to leave, but he was really patient and slept for three months straight!" When the man spoke of the past, his face was filled with grievance.
"Didn't he tell you just now? Believe in yourself … He believed that he could do better. That's why the ninth summit became his farm."
Su Ming looked at the mountain, at the man, and at the direction in which the white-robed man left. He was instantly rendered speechless.
"There, that's your Grandpa Hu's place. Your Grandpa Hu isn't a turtle, and I don't like flowers either. I just like drinking. That's my cave abode. I don't usually come out. When I'm awake, I drink. When I'm drunk, I sleep. When I'm awake, I drink again. When I'm drunk, I sleep again …"
The man pointed into the distance, then picked up the gourd and took another sip.
"The old man lives on the mountain. Go see him yourself. I don't want to see him. Every time I see him, I can't control my temper," the man mumbled and patted Su Ming's shoulder.
"Youngest junior brother, good luck." As he spoke, he turned around and continued drinking while walking on the snow towards his cave abode.
Su Ming stood there alone and looked at his surroundings. At that moment, a gust of wind blew past, bringing with it snowflakes that floated in the air before him. Su Ming shook his head vigorously. Freezing Sky Clan was similar to what he had imagined, but also different.
Freezing Sky Clan was the same, but the ninth summit was different.
He stood where he was and thought silently for a moment before lifting his head to look at the top of the mountain. From there, he could vaguely see a grand building at the top of the mountain. From the distance, it exuded a majestic presence.
Su Ming walked up the stairs filled with plants growing on the snow and walked towards the top of the mountain. Since he was already here, he did not choose to give up. Since he had already accepted Tian Xie Zi as his Master, then unless absolutely necessary, Su Ming would not choose him again.
As he continued walking, the mountain wind became stronger. The moaning sounds of the wind echoed in the air. Snow swirled around Su Ming, fusing with the silence of the entire mountain and turning into an indescribable feeling that made Su Ming's heart gradually calm down.
'Such a tall mountain. It's one of the nine main summits of Freezing Sky Clan. Right now, it must be the quietest compared to the other main summits.' Su Ming did not move quickly. As the sky gradually darkened and dusk arrived, he finally arrived at the top of the mountain. Once he walked down the final step, what appeared before him was the grand and majestic building he had seen from the distance.
However, when he looked at it up close, he found that the building was like a hall. Yet even though it was majestic, it was broken and gave off an air of decay.
There were nine pillars nailed to the ground around the hall. They surrounded the hall and formed a thin screen of light that enveloped Su Ming within. He could only look at it, not enter.
'It's sealed …' Su Ming was stunned.
"The ninth summit of Freezing Sky Clan has one main hall, six subsidiary halls, and seven halls!" An old voice Su Ming was familiar with came from behind him. Su Ming turned around and saw an old man walking out from the back of the hall not too far away.
The old man wore a white robe and had an unfathomable smile on his face. He looked like an enigmatic senior.
"Each of the seven halls has its own function. If there's someone guarding the hall, they can activate the power of the mountain. All those who manage to enter the main hall will immediately become one of the nine Lords of Freezing Sky Clan's Great Frozen Plains.
"In Freezing Sky Clan, the duties of the school are secondary. It doesn't matter whether it's the right or left preceptor, the Dharma Protector of Freezing Clan, or even the elders, they are just titles.
"All of these can change. The only thing that doesn't change is the nine Lords of the Great Frozen Plains. They are also the Masters of the nine main summits on the land of ice and snow.
"The nine Lords of the Great Frozen Plains and the nine Lords of Heaven Gate. These 18 people are the strongest people in Freezing Sky Clan besides some of the old people.
"It's a pity that there are only eight Lords in Heaven Gate and seven Lords of the Great Frozen Plains. The ninth summit and the first summit don't have anyone who can enter the main hall."
Su Ming remained silent. He did not speak.
Tian Xie Zi walked towards him slowly and stood several dozens of feet away from him. He had his back turned towards the sealed hall as he looked at Su Ming.
"My disciple, how do you feel on your way here?" Tian Xie Zi asked with a smile.
"I feel like I've been deceived," Su Ming said bluntly.
There was no hint of awkwardness on Tian Xie Zi's face. He blinked and smiled, but did not speak.
"I can ignore the fact that I'm your only disciple that day, but are the Berserker Vessels, skills, ancient scrolls you mentioned real?" Su Ming quelled the anger in his heart and asked calmly.
"Of course it's real. Look, I told you that I live in an entire mountain. I didn't lie to you about that, did I? If you want to see it, you can see it anytime you want. But you just came today. Why don't I call your second senior brother and third senior brother over? The four of us can drink together. What do you think?"
Su Ming looked at Tian Xie Zi and said in a low voice, "There's no need. Please allow me. I want to see it now."
"That's … alright." Tian Xie Zi hesitated for a moment before he lifted his right hand and swung it at the air. Immediately, the mountain trembled, and a stone door rose from the ground beside Tian Xie Zi.
"This is the place where I store my treasures. The first layer contains Berserker Vessels, the second layer contains skills, and the third layer contains ancient scrolls. If you want to see it now, then I'll wait for you here." Tian Xie Zi let out a fake cough.
"By the way, if there's anything you like, you can take one from each layer. Consider it my gift for you to become my disciple." Tian Xie Zi waved his hand, and the stone door immediately opened slowly with a rumbling sound.
A purple light shone from within the door. It looked as if there was a great treasure inside.
"Don't be greedy. There's only one item in each layer." Tian Xie Zi still looked like a powerful senior. He smiled at Su Ming, as if he was very confident in the treasures he had.
When Su Ming saw Tian Xie Zi's expression, he became skeptical. He walked towards the stone door and stepped in.
Su Ming only felt his vision blur. It was as if he had been Teleported. Rumbling sounds echoed in his ears. After a moment, the sounds disappeared and his vision gradually became clear. What appeared before him was a gigantic cave abode.
There were countless small caves around the cave, and in each cave, there was a magical artifact. They all looked different, and there were hundreds of them.
Yet when Su Ming took a closer look, a strange expression gradually appeared on his face.
'These are the Berserker Vessels he mentioned …' Fortunately, Su Ming had prepared himself beforehand. As he looked at the Berserker Vessels, a wry smile appeared on his face.
