The instant Su Ming opened his eyes, a brilliant light shone in his eyes. That light instantly returned to normal. At the same time, the thick layer of snow that had accumulated on Su Ming's body floated up on its own without a single sound and surrounded his body, slowly rotating around him.
Second senior brother sat by the side with a smile on his face as he focused his attention on Su Ming.
At that moment, Tian Xie Zi, who had put away the plate with a smug look on his face, also seemed to have noticed it and looked towards Su Ming. However, the moment he looked at Su Ming, he looked very different from before. An awe-inspiring look slowly appeared on his face.
At the same time, Hu Zi also walked out of his cave abode and stood outside, looking in the direction of the platform at the mountainside.
There was also a pair of eyes looking towards them from the basin in the ice layer beneath the ninth summit.
Su Ming opened his eyes, but there was only calmness within them. That calmness was different from his usual calmness. It was a calmness in his heart, a calmness that would not allow a single ripple to appear in his heart even if the mountain crumbled and the earth cracked before him.
What allowed him to be so calm was the snowflakes before his eyes. As they spun and danced in the air, as Su Ming lifted his right hand slowly, they immediately gathered on his right hand and turned into a snow brush.
Su Ming held that brush in his hand and swung it in the air before him.
With a few strokes, wherever the tip of the brush passed, snow would float in the air, causing Su Ming to draw a mountain in the air before him as he swung the brush.
The outline of the mountain was formed by the snow. It floated in midair and looked normal, but if anyone looked at it for a long period of time, they would find that it looked as if it was alive.
When he drew the mountain, Su Ming's heart was calm. It was a calmness that he had never felt before. It was a calmness that had never appeared in his heart ever since he left Dark Mountain.
In that calmness, he did not know that his second senior brother was sitting behind him, did not know that Hu Zi was looking at him from the distance, did not know that his eldest senior brother was concerned about him in the basin within the mountain, and did not know that there was an old man in white at the top of the mountain.
All his attention was focused on the brush in his right hand, on the snow left behind and the scene he wanted to draw the most at that moment.
As of this moment, he was not in a meditative trance, but rather, he seemed to be in a meditative trance. He did not close his eyes to enter that strange state, but rather, he seemed to be in the depths of that trance, unwilling to pull himself out.
"Creation … Painting creation … This is the answer he gave me …" On the top of the mountain, Tian Xie Zi no longer had the comical expression he had when he faced the purple-robed old man. Instead, there was an indescribable wisdom as he looked at his fourth disciple.
"What our eldest brother has comprehended is the Sound of Creation. That's why he went into seclusion, and entered a state of tranquility from the clamor. After he dispelled everything, what remained was his original heart. That's why he has cultivated the Sound of Creation."
"What Second Bro comprehended was Flower Creation. He used the creation of flowers and plants to create a pair of Hands of Creation that could control life and death."
"What Third Brother has comprehended is the word 'Good Fortune' itself. It's like entering a dream, that's Good Fortune …"
"I never imagined that Fourth Brother would actually comprehend the fourth transformation … Picture Creation …" Tian Xie Zi murmured, his eyes shining brightly.
On the platform, Su Ming looked at the mountain he had drawn. The brush in his right hand was still drawing, and gradually, five summits appeared on the mountain. Dark Mountain was drawn out by him.
At the instant Dark Mountain was drawn, the Mark of the Mountain appeared faintly on his face, as if it was reflecting off his face, causing Su Ming to show signs of his cultivation base circulating without his knowledge.
The instant Su Ming finished drawing the mountain, he drew a long line downwards with the snow brush in his hand. That long line was a terrifying sight to behold, and it was like a sharp sword that exuded a shocking killing intent.
The moment that killing intent appeared, Tian Xie Zi's expression immediately changed.
At the same time, his second senior brother, who had been paying attention to Su Ming, also had a grave expression appear on his face. It was the same for Hu Zi, who was standing outside the cave abode in the distance.
There was also the Eldest Senior Brother who was in seclusion. The moment he noticed the long scar, his breathing quickened.
'What a powerful murderous aura!'
Su Ming did not notice any of this. He only acted according to his own heart and in this state of peace, he created a picture and a life that belonged to him.
His brush stopped at the end of the long line, and gradually, the Dark Mountain Tribe within his Berserker Mark appeared on his body. The plants, the trees, the houses, and the houses slowly appeared before him and started shining with his Berserker Mark in the air.
He did not know how much time had passed, but once the brush in his hand drew the outline of the entire Dark Mountain Tribe, it stopped.
In the Void Painting in front of him, there were mountains and sceneries, grass and trees, houses connected together, and fences, forming a seemingly complete picture of a tribe.
It was exactly the same as his Berserker Mark.
However, Su Ming continued lifting his hand. He just stopped, as if he did not know how he should draw his next line. His eyes were still calm, but there was confusion in the depths of that calmness.
Time passed by. A long, long time passed by.
"Creation, Creation of Flowers, Creation of Pictures, Creation of Creation … All of them are created from nothing … There are surprises in silence, and there are scenes in the mirror … Youngest junior brother, I think there's something missing in this picture …" Second senior brother's gentle words echoed softly in Su Ming's ears.
Su Ming fell silent. Gradually, the sky darkened and a moon appeared in the sky. Moonlight shone on the ground, and the silver light from the moon made all those who saw it feel a chill down their spines.
No one in the ninth summit slept that night. All of them were staring at Su Ming. They knew that this day was incredibly important to him, especially since he had clearly found the method to clear his mind, but he was still a little lost and did not have a complete understanding of it.
This was a crucial moment for Su Ming.
Perhaps there were very few people outside the ninth summit in Freezing Sky Clan who understood this, but those who were on the ninth summit were different from the others. They knew just how important the first epiphany of those who entered the sect was.
When the darkness in the sky slowly changed and light appeared in the horizon once again, the moon in the sky was about to disappear, and only an illusion remained, Su Ming's right hand, which had been frozen in place for a long time, moved abruptly!
The moment he moved his right hand, Tian Xie Zi's face immediately turned incredibly grave. Second senior brother, third senior brother, and the eldest senior brother who was still in isolation all reacted the same way.
They watched Su Ming's right hand move, and with the brush in his hand, he drew a circle on the picture of Dark Mountain Tribe that was drawn in the air.
This circle was very simple and could be completed with one line, but it was this simple line that took Su Ming an entire night. The moment he finished drawing it, Su Ming started trembling furiously. A circle also gradually appeared on his face beside the Dark Mountain Mark.
At the same time, Su Ming's power started circulating in his body, and in an instant, it reached its peak. He could vaguely feel that he had reached the peak of the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm, and with just one more step, he would reach the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm!
It was also at that moment that the circle on the picture Su Ming drew before him shone with a piercing light. That light was red, and the circle looked as if it was burning before it turned into a moon!
The blood moon!
The burning blood moon!
This was the first Berserker Mark Su Ming had given up on when he was meditating. At that moment, in his calm state, he drew it on the very first picture of his life.
The moment the blood moon was drawn, the presence on the picture changed abruptly and turned into the Picture of the Blood Moon and Dark Mountain! A shocking murderous aura appeared from the Picture of the Blood Moon and Dark Mountain. That murderous aura was so thick that it made a grave expression appear on second senior brother's face.
Hu Zi, who was outside the cave, shuddered and mumbled a few words under his breath.
As for the eldest senior brother who was in isolation, he remained silent for a long while before he let out a sigh.
"The ninth summit might no longer have peace from now on … but he's our youngest junior brother. That alone is enough."
The appearance of the Picture of the Blood Moon and Dark Mountain made Su Ming's body tremble, and his power broke through its previous limit. Banging sounds reverberated through his body, and his level of cultivation rose from the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm to the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm!
One epiphany, one picture, and one stroke of the blood moon changed Su Ming's Mark, and because of it, his level of cultivation reached a breakthrough!
"Tian Xie Zi's disciple does not need any skills or divine abilities. He only needs to understand and clear his mind to understand the creation of the world …" Tian Xie Zi's words appeared in Su Ming's mind. At that moment, he finally understood what Tian Xie Zi was teaching him.
It was a path of training the mind that was completely different from other people's!
The lineage of the ninth summit did not practice any skills or power, neither did they practice any divine abilities or Arts. They practiced the mind!
Tian Xie Zi was silent as he stood at the top of the mountain. After a long while, he turned around slowly and walked towards the sealed hall. His back was slightly limping, but his footsteps were steady.
When he turned around, no one could see the sorrowful determination on his face.
"Master, I will prove to you that the Berserker Tribe's path of training … is wrong! You're wrong! All of you are wrong! "
Once Tian Xie Zi left, the picture before Su Ming on the ninth summit's platform gradually turned into snowflakes once again as the calmness in Su Ming's eyes disappeared and he truly woke up.
The moment Su Ming woke up, his second senior brother's gentle voice traveled into his ears. "Youngest junior brother, I think this place is pretty good. I want to plant some plants on the platform. What do you think?"
Su Ming was momentarily stunned. He turned his head around and immediately saw his second senior brother, who had appeared at some point in time. He quickly got up and looked at the plants that had already filled the platform.
"Er … second senior brother, could you leave a place for me to meditate..?"
"Oh, alright. I'll leave a small place for you …" Second senior brother blinked and smiled gently.
"By the way, during the days you were trying to gain your epiphany, second senior brother caught a living creature for you. I left it with your third senior brother. You can go and take a look when you're free.
"Also, there's a very pretty disciple niece who came to look for you. If you have the chance to see her, remember to help me ask the girl by her side what her name is."
I'll start updating as per normal tomorrow. I'll rest for the chapters I owe and continue paying my debts … Ah, when will this end …
