'Knowing too much isn't always a good thing …' Su Ming sat at the edge of the sword, and his Master's words before they parted appeared in his head.
This was what Tian Xie Zi had said when he had asked him about the ten shooting stars.
At that moment, Su Ming understood the meaning behind those words. Knowing too much might indeed not always be a good thing. It was just like how Su Ming saw the Eastern Wastelands pushing the Dead Sea towards him.
He looked at the rapidly moving ground under the sky, at the mountains rising and falling, and even at the vague outline of some tribes. Yet in the blink of an eye, the mountains on the ground crumbled before his eyes. The ground looked as if it had been lifted up, and at the same time, the black Dead Sea spread out, drowning out all signs of life.
Tian Lan Meng sat beside Su Ming in silence. No one knew what she was thinking about, or perhaps her mind was completely blank.
Time trickled by, and soon, the first night arrived. The sky was dark, but a white line could be seen in the distance, as if there was light in that direction.
After meditating for a day, the Freezing Sky Clan disciples on the sword gradually started moving around. Those who were familiar with each other formed groups of three to five, and their laughter echoed in the air. It was as if they were using this method to calm their minds before the battle against Sky Mist.
Cheers and laughter traveled out from the sword wound in Frozen Sky. As Su Ming looked at them, at the people who did not know the truth, he could already imagine that if all these people knew the answer … then how many of them would still be able to laugh, and how many of them would still be able to fight in this battle …
When Su Ming looked at the Freezing Sky Clan disciples, he also saw a person from Heaven Gate sitting at the edge of the sword, separated by a certain distance. The distance between them was roughly the same.
There was also the old man sitting at the tip of the sword. His expression was calm, but from the occasional frown between his brows, Su Ming could tell that this person's state of mind was perhaps not as calm as his words and expression made him seem.
'He knows the truth … Perhaps these nine people from Heaven Gate know the truth.' Su Ming swept his gaze past Jing Cheng Rong sitting at the tip of the sword. That person suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Su Ming with a gaze as sharp as lightning.
Su Ming closed his eyes. He could feel the person's gaze on him, and it felt as if he was being pricked by needles. It only disappeared after a long while.
"Your name is Su Ming?" An old voice suddenly traveled into Su Ming's ears. As Su Ming opened his eyes, he immediately saw Jing Cheng Rong standing at the tip of the sword. He did not avert his gaze and was still looking at Su Ming, but there was no longer that fierce look in his eyes.
Su Ming nodded.
"Come to me." Jing Cheng Rong looked at Su Ming, and his voice echoed in Su Ming's ears. This was different from the method Tian Lan Meng used to send her voice into his mind, but the effect was similar.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment before he stood up. Tian Lan Meng cast him a glance but did not speak.
Su Ming walked forward and walked past the crowd. He walked past his fellow sect members who were meditating. He heard their laughter and words that were sometimes near and sometimes far away. He sensed the different breaths of the people meditating. When he walked a long distance away and arrived at the tip of the sword, he arrived before Jing Cheng Rong.
His previous location wasn't too far away from here. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the two of them to see each other. Even if they walked over, it would have taken them some time.
"Sit," Jing Cheng Rong said hoarsely as he looked at Su Ming.
He was at the tip of the sword, and he was facing the endless space before him. It was also the spot where the whistling sounds were the strongest. In fact, while standing there, Su Ming could vaguely feel wind crashing against his face. He could sense the power of the sword slicing through space at that extreme speed.
There was about a hundred something feet between them, and Jing Cheng Rong was the only one sitting there. Without his summons, no one could come to this place.
Su Ming did not speak. He sat down beside the old man, and the moment he did so, he suddenly felt as if a violent gust of wind was blowing against his face. His breathing quickened, and he even felt as if his body was about to be torn apart. This feeling came too suddenly. In fact, Su Ming felt as if his body was about to be blown away by that violent gust of wind and was about to be blown off the 100,000 feet sword.
His hair was a mess, and it swayed rapidly behind him. Su Ming could not sit down. He staggered a few steps back, and a glint appeared in his eyes. Once his foot landed on the ground, he managed to stop himself. His face flushed red, and he took a few steps forward once again. Once he returned to the spot where he was about to sit, he sat down slowly.
The moment he sat down, that feeling of being torn apart appeared once again. However, this time, Su Ming was prepared. Banging sounds came from his body, and slowly, he sat down.
As he sat there, Su Ming trembled. His blood flowed rapidly through his body, and the power of Transcendence within him moved along with it. Even his divine sense spread out. At that moment, his body was resisting against the power of that violent gust of wind on its own, and he could not control it.
"This is what body refinement is!" When Jing Cheng Rong saw Su Ming sitting down, praise appeared in his eyes.
"Even if you have twenty incredibly heavy ice hoops on you, you'll only be able to refine the skin of your body." The praise in the old man's eyes disappeared and was replaced by disdain.
Su Ming found it hard to breathe. He could not speak, but there was doubt in his eyes. This was the method he had thought of, and this method had indeed increased the speed at which he could withstand the wind by a lot. In fact, if he used his full speed, he could even surpass Frozen Sky in a short distance.
"You're not convinced? I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. " Jing Cheng Rong let out a cold harrumph. He suddenly lifted his right hand and grabbed Su Ming's shoulder, then flung him to the side.
The old man's actions were too quick. Su Ming could not dodge at all. He only felt his vision blur, and as the old man flung him, he was flung out of Frozen Sky's body!
In fact, the power of that fling had not only flung Su Ming out of the sword, it had also flung the protective screen of light around the sword, causing Su Ming to instantly leave the sword and find himself in the middle of the night, right in the middle of the violent gust of wind howling.
Only at that moment did the people on the sword see this scene, and they instantly let out cries of surprise.
The instant Su Ming was flung out of Frozen Sky, booming sounds immediately came from his body. The sword was so quick that in the blink of an eye, it had already traveled 100,000 feet. When he could see his surroundings clearly, he saw the sword hilt flashing past his eyes. The violent gust of wind it brought with it swept up Su Ming's body, causing him to be unable to stand still.
Anger appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He had not offended the old man, but he had done this to him. However, he did not have time to think about it. When he saw that the sword was about to leave into the distance, booming sounds immediately came from Su Ming's body. All the ice hoops exploded at that instant, and his speed instantly reached a terrifying degree as he charged towards the sword that was leaving into the distance.
His speed could surpass the sword in a short distance. His body seemed to have shot through the air and appeared 1,000 feet behind the sword. The violent gust of wind tore at Su Ming's body, and red appeared in his eyes. He charged forward once again, and when he reappeared, he had already caught up to the sword. However, he was only beside the sword hilt. Blood trickled down the corners of Su Ming's mouth. He took a swift step forward and passed through the protective screen before landing on the sword hilt at the end of the charging sword. The moment he landed, Su Ming coughed out a huge mouthful of blood, and his face turned stark pale.
Su Ming wiped away the blood at the corners of his mouth and strode forward. Wherever he went, all the people who saw him would look at him with shock and admiration in their eyes, and they would open up a path for him. Just now, they had seen Su Ming chasing after the sword with their own eyes.
However, the sword was, after all, too big. That was why there were not many people who could see the entire process. Su Ming continued charging forward, and after a moment, he covered a distance of 100,000 feet and returned to the tip of the sword. Jing Cheng Rong was sitting there and looking at Su Ming coldly.
"Still not convinced? Do you think that you're very powerful because you managed to catch up to the sword?
"Just what is body refinement?" Su Ming stared at the old man and let out a deep breath.
"Letting your body bear weight and suddenly become lighter when you execute your speed is very stupid. What's the difference between you and a leaf? Perhaps you want to become a leaf. When the wind blows, the leaf will be blown even further away because it's light.
"But it won't be able to last for long. If it's too long, it will shatter. In fact, if you run into wind that goes against your direction and the two gusts of wind crash into each other, the leaf will immediately shatter. Do you believe me? The faster you go, the faster you die. Do you believe me? "the old man said coldly.
Su Ming lifted his head swiftly and was stunned.
Jing Cheng Rong frowned and shouted at Su Ming, "If it wasn't for Bai Chang Zai, I wouldn't have bothered to enlighten you. Come here and sit down by my side!"
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he walked to the old man's side. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards the old man before he sat down respectfully by the side.
When Jing Cheng Rong was enlightening Su Ming, there was originally a cliff in the shape of a trapezoid located at the easternmost part of the Land of South Morning. Now, most of the cliff was submerged by the black seawater. The seawater exuded a strange presence. The surface of the sea was not calm, but there were waves rising and falling.
At that moment, there were seven to eight people dressed in red robes standing on the only remaining cliff. Their faces were pale, and there were colorful totems on their faces. One of them squatted down and looked carefully at the Dead Sea's waves that were crashing towards them from a position about a hundred feet below the cliff.
"Another ten feet higher … Before long, this cliff will also be submerged. Once this place is submerged, a large amount of the Dead Sea will spread out …"
At the same time that person spoke in a low voice, roars immediately came from the endless black Dead Sea before them. Soon, the waves became stronger, and a tail that was about a thousand feet long shot out from the surface of the sea in the distance. With a bang, it crashed into the Dead Sea, stirring up even more waves.
Further into the distance, there were more tails swinging out from the surface of the sea like this … and there were hundreds of them!
The Shamans' faces were pale. One of them, an old man who had his eyes closed all this while, opened them slowly.
"I can sense their fear … These Soul Alligators that should have existed in the depths of the Dead Sea were forced to come here due to their fear … The prophecy of Berserkers' Realm Mountain isn't an ancient legend. It … has come true …" the old man mumbled and lifted his right hand to swing it at the sky. Immediately, a spot of light flew out from his hand and charged towards the dark surface of the sea. Once it flew into the distance, that spot of light exploded, causing a circular area of several hundreds of thousands of feet in the Dead Sea to instantly turn bright!
"That's …" Someone in the crowd instantly cried out in surprise, and his expression changed drastically.
The explosion will still happen. My goal this month is to get into the top three, so I will definitely have an explosion. Once I rest for a few days, I will continue exploding!
