One crane was in the world, and one crane was in the wilderness.
This paper crane might not have the beautiful legend of Harmonious Morus Alba flapping its wings, but it possessed a power that made it seem as if it could move through dimensions. It could be said to have been reborn when it flew out of the Great Tribe of Freezing Sky until it died in Eastern Wastelands.
Its life was short, but during that short span of time, everything that happened on the land and the sea where it passed by made the entire world seem to have shrunk and become clear before its eyes.
However, it was a pity that this clear gaze did not belong to Su Ming. It did not belong to many people. Only the old man who spread out the paper crane and flew into the nine heavens, or rather, the man in the Emperor's robe and crown, belonged to him!
Su Ming left Autumn Sea Tribe.
He walked calmly in the sky above the land of the Shamans. There were no pursuers behind him, and there were no obstructions in front of him. All he could see was the vast sky and the desolate land. Ever since he joined the battle of Sky Mist City, it was only then that he had truly broken free from all restraints.
As he looked at the sky and land before him, Su Ming suddenly had a feeling that he had returned to the time when he first opened his eyes on a mountain range outside Han Mountain City.
At that time, he had looked at the unfamiliar sky in a daze. His weak power had caused him to be lost for a long period of time.
At that moment, he was still looking at the unfamiliar sky and walking in the world. The wind lifted his hair, revealing the profound look in his eyes.
At that moment, he might still be a little lost, but he now had a direction. He might still not be able to stand at the peak of his power, but compared to the past, he was now like two sides of a ravine.
'Before the next Immortals from the other worlds descend, I have to make myself stronger …' Su Ming brought out the mask from his bosom and put it on his face. He did not intend to take it off.
This was the method he used to hide his identity in the land of the Shamans. Unless he found a better way, he would continue wearing it.
With Spirit Plunder and his divine sense, as long as he did not run into powerful End Shamans, then even if he ran into a Latter Shaman, the possibility of them being able to tell that he was not a Shaman was not high.
Besides, even if he ran into powerful Shamans who could tell that he was not a Shaman, Su Ming still had a way to explain his identity.
'My appearance … is very similar to the Immortals from the other worlds..? If that's the case …' Su Ming closed his eyes, and when he opened them, there was a strange look in his eyes.
"But I'm really curious. Why are the two people who call me Destiny so sure that I … am Destiny!" Su Ming walked through the world so quickly that he charged forward. On the way, he ran into some Shamans, but most of the time, once they saw him, they would spread out their senses and touch his divine sense before withdrawing it.
If there was no prior judgment, most people would not suspect Su Ming.
'Han Mountain's ancestor is waiting for Destiny to take him away. That's why when he saw me, he thought I was Destiny. I can explain it with the excuse that I'm the first person to appear before him after so many years.
However, that long-haired woman on the battlefield, she just glanced at me and immediately said that I am Destiny. This matter is very fishy.
'How could she say that I am Destiny just like that? Unless … she's seen me before!' Su Ming fell into pensive silence. However, these were all just his guesses. He did not have any concrete information.
He flew for seven days straight. Occasionally, Su Ming would observe the map given by Ya Mu. He knew that he was about to reach the center of the land of the Shamans, but he was only at the center. If he looked at the map of the entire land of the Shamans, then Su Ming's current location was still considered rather remote. The ground here was lush with greenery, but the wind was much stronger than in the outskirts.
He could also smell the stench of blood in the wind, because most of the wind here came from the Dead Sea and swept past the land of the Shamans.
Su Ming swept his gaze across the land as he stood in the midst of a mountain range. He would occasionally do this along the way, cautiously observing whether there was any danger around him.
However, this time, the instant his gaze swept past the mountain range, he suddenly froze and let out a soft gasp of surprise. He immediately focused his gaze and spread his divine sense outwards to cover the entire mountain range.
After a moment, Su Ming's eyes sparkled. With his current level of cultivation, he might not be able to move or manipulate the power of the world, but he, who had four Berserker Bones and had reached the middle stage of the Bone Sacrifice Realm, could tell just how much power of the world there was.
At first glance, the mountain range looked normal. Even if he took a closer look, he would find that it was still very normal. There was nothing special about it. Even if he spread his divine sense and used the senses of the Shaman Tribe, it would still be the same.
The power of the world was also very thin in this place, and the stench of blood was much stronger than in other places. That was why most of the Shamans who passed by this place in the past, even if they were Latter Shamans, did not pay too much attention to this place.
However, this place gradually became different in Su Ming's eyes. A thick veil seemed to have been lifted off the mountain range in his eyes, revealing its true appearance!
The mountain range started in the east and started spreading northward in a curve before disappearing into the land in the distance. It looked like a dragon that had revealed part of its back as it swam across the land. The mountains towered into the sky, and strange rocks could be seen everywhere. There were also plants growing all over them.
However, most of those plants looked strange. They swayed in the wind and exuded a sense of danger. It was as if these plants were born with great offensive abilities.
Su Ming stared at the mountain range and lifted his right hand before he swung it lightly to his left. He did not circulate the power of the Berserker Bones in his body. It looked like a casual slash, but layers of ripples instantly appeared in the air to his left. He closed his eyes slightly and stretched his right hand into the ripples, as if he was sensing something.
'The mountain range comes from the east … and goes to the north. It has turned into the shape of a corner. It looks like a dragon, but in truth, this is a natural but slightly incomplete pattern of the Three Evils!' After some time, a surprised look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He sank down and circled the mountain range once.
It was a curve in the mountain range.
'Extinction, Birth, Nourishment, Calamity, Time … The northeast of this place is the mountain range, the southwest is empty, the west is the birth, and the south is the nourishment. If that's the case, then without the Extinction, this should be an incomplete pattern.' Su Ming observed the mountain range for a long time, and with his understanding towards the Execution of Three Evils in his head, he slowly analyzed the strangeness of the mountain range.
'But the wind coming from the east might not have been strong in the past, but now, it's clear that it has become stronger due to the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands. There's even a bloody stench in the wind …
'If I look at this mountain range as a dragon's head, then it should be a dead thing, but if the wind from the east blows past the dragon's head, then it'll be as if the dragon's head is alive and can breathe! 'I've never run into this sort of Extinction and Destruction before … I gained an epiphany regarding the Execution of Three Evils when I was in Sky Mist City's battlefield. Not only can this Art be used to sever, it can also be erected.
'But by the looks of it now, my thoughts aren't complete. Besides severing and erecting, I can also change it. I can change it on the ground to turn it into killing intent!
'What a natural pattern. Not only did the power of the world gather here, it also formed the power of the Three Evils, causing this place to turn into a place where I can rest and kill without too many changes!' As Su Ming continued observing the mountain range, his expression gradually changed.
There was no Extinction in this place to begin with, which meant that there was no Destruction among the Three Evils. Based on Su Ming's understanding, most of the spots in the world contained the Three Evils, but the Three Evils were formless existences. Yet this place had naturally formed this pattern as time passed, and it was a pattern that could be seen with the naked eye.
This was a huge difference.
This difference was akin to the difference between an illusory form and a corporeal form.
Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence. He originally did not have a clear direction in mind, but when he saw how attractive the mountain range was, a glint appeared in his eyes and he made his decision.
'This place isn't bad. I can open up a cave abode here and turn it into my residence. But this place might be secluded, but there should be a lot of Shamans around here. If that's the case, I'll have to be more careful.' Su Ming flew towards the mountain range. Before long, he stood at the corner between the east and north of the mountain range. This place was also the spot that looked like the mouth of a dragon's head when he was in midair.
The mountain range in this place was incredibly tall. Because of that, most of the wind blowing from the east was blocked at the foot of the mountain. It gathered together and did not dissipate, causing Su Ming to see a layer of fog and a thick stench of blood as he stood at the top of the mountain and looked down.
The mountain rocks around him were also damp. There were even some places where dew seeped out.
'Should I open it or not..?' Su Ming hesitated. As long as he completely opened up the corner of the mountain range under his feet and formed a gigantic gap, then he could let the wind from the east blow through the mouth. That way, he would be able to create the scene of the dragon breathing.
Once he did this, the power of the world in this place would increase by leaps and bounds. If he meditated and recuperated in this place, it would be incredibly beneficial for Su Ming to refine his cultivation base. It would also be the same for him when he created medicinal pills.
Similarly, if he had a gap and the pattern of the world in this place looked as if the dragon's head had come back to life, then if he cast the Execution of Three Evils here, the power of the Art would be much greater than when he was casting it on the battlefield.
In fact, Su Ming had a feeling that if he did what he wanted and cast the Execution of Three Evils here, he would be as if he was one with the place. At that time, the power of the Art would be enough to make his heart pound in excitement.
This was just one of the reasons. Su Ming had been to quite a number of places with this pattern in the mountain range, but this was the first time he saw it. If he could study the Three Evils that seemed to have gained physical form for a long period of time and explore its secrets and rules, then he would gain an even deeper understanding of the Execution of Three Evils.
'The other Arts left behind in Dark Mountain are no longer suitable for me to use. Only the Execution of Three Evils … Besides that, the burning of blood is the only other thing left.' Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the sky. The mountain range was very tall. If it was night time and the moonlight shone on the ground, it would be very clear.
However, even though the benefits were great, there were also a lot of disadvantages. First of all, this place would be very eye-catching. Not only would it attract attention, it might also cause conflicts.
The monthly votes were great, but it would be difficult for him to maintain it. He did not ask for a month, he only asked for one more minute! Asking for monthly votes! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
