If he wanted to turn trash into treasure, he would need to have the ability to protect it.
'By the looks of it, no one in the Shaman Tribe should be able to see what's wrong with this place. After all, if I didn't understand the Execution of Three Evils, I wouldn't have been able to see the secret of this place.
'I wonder if the Immortals who descended here can see it, but the main reason for the pattern of this place is the foul wind blowing from the east. If that's the case, then this wind has only appeared in Eastern Wastelands during the past year. It has only been a short period of time. Even if there are those who understand the pattern of this place, they wouldn't have noticed this place.
'If I give up on this place, it'll be too much of a pity.' Resolve appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
He knew clearly that he would not give up on this place. Since he was certain of this, then what he needed to do was to think about how he could guard against the things that might happen in the future and protect his first cave abode in the land of the Shamans.
'The main structure of the pattern of the Three Evils will remain the same, but I'll have to change some of the minor details.' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. With one move, he charged towards the eastern section of the mountain range. His body would occasionally appear in the mountain range, and green light would also shine. Clearly, Su Ming was using the sharpness of the virescent sword to modify the mountain.
A day later, Su Ming arrived at the northern section of the mountain range. Once he did the same thing, he removed all the parts of the mountain range that did not fit his requirements and added some disguises before he returned to the corner between the east and west. He stood there and fell into a moment of pensive silence before he took a step forward. As if he was falling down a cliff, he charged towards the canyons that were filled with thick fog and a foul stench.
He traveled incredibly quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the bottom of the cliff. Most of the plants there had turned purplish black and were exuding an incredibly aggressive aura. Some of the vines even swung and charged towards Su Ming as he descended.
Su Ming ignored it. Once he dodged to the bottom of the cliff, green light shone at the center of his brows, and the small sword instantly flew out to cut down the mountain range. Su Ming stood by the side and spread his divine sense outwards to cover the entire area. He examined the area once again, and only then was he satisfied.
He had searched through this place several times over the past few days and was certain that he had not left anything behind. Besides him, there was no other person here.
As Su Ming spread his divine sense outwards to explore the place, he found that the virescent sword had already cut a hole in the stone wall before him. The shattered stones inside had also turned into ashes, and the small virescent sword had opened up seven to eight stone rooms based on Su Ming's will, turning them into a gigantic cave abode within the mountain.
As soon as the Immortal's cave was formed, a gust of wind blew in from the east, carrying with it the stench of blood from the abyss. It filled the entire cave, making it look just like the outside world.
Su Ming had expected this to happen a long time ago. With a calm expression on his face, he walked into the cave abode and disappeared into the fog. When he reappeared, he was already at the end of the cave abode. There was a gigantic stone wall that was nearly a thousand feet tall there. It was the outer shell of the mountain that had been hollowed out.
The outer shell was dozens of feet thick. When the wind blew on it, it was blocked.
Su Ming stood beside the stone wall and lifted his right hand to press on it. The power of Berserker Bones in his body flowed out gently, and a crack immediately spread out from his hand and fused into the stone wall. Cracking sounds reverberated in the air, and a few cracks instantly appeared. As they spread out, they pierced through the stone wall and formed a connection with the outside world.
Su Ming took a few steps forward, and once he repeated this action seven to eight times, a large number of cracks appeared on the stone wall. However, Su Ming's actions were ingenious. Even though there were quite a number of cracks, the stone wall did not show any signs of crumbling.
Almost the instant the cracks formed and the connection with the outside world was formed, a gust of wind blew in from the entrance of the cave. It did not stop for even a single moment, but seeped into the cracks and charged outside.
The mountain range that was blocking the wind might not have completely stopped blocking the wind, but there were now gaps between the cracks, causing the pattern of the entire mountain range to come to life.
As the wind continued blowing past Su Ming and into the crack on the stone wall, Su Ming could clearly feel the power of the world around him slowly gathering towards him, as if the dragon's head in the place had just woken up and was beginning to breathe gently.
If a person breathed, the power of the world would float towards them, and the power of the world would circulate within their bodies. Similarly, the breathing formed by the pattern was like the dragon breathing, and the mountain breathing. The entire mountain range trembled slightly, and the power of the world formed a cycle and came faintly towards them.
The plants on the mountain started trembling at the same time, as if they had opened up all parts of their bodies to absorb the power of the world from all directions.
At the same time, Su Ming could clearly feel that as the mountain breathed and as the dragon's head breathed, the Berserker Bones in his body started circulating on their own. As blue light flashed, the power of the world continuously seeped into his body and fused together with the four Berserker Bones.
Besides a small number of people in the Bone Sacrifice Realm who could use the deity statue's power to turn the aura of Transcendence into bones, the rest of the time, if they wanted to increase their Berserker Bones, they would need to use the power of the world.
The power of the world was formless. Those in the Bone Sacrifice Realm could not directly mobilize the power of the world, but they could absorb it as they breathed. Once it fused with the blood in their bodies, a power that could circulate through their entire body would be formed. This was the power of Berserker Bones.
Once that power accumulated to a certain degree, it would turn into physical form and change the spine, causing one of the bones within to gradually turn into a Berserker Bone!
Joy appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Once he took in a deep breath of the power of the world that came with the mountain's breathing, he quickly walked out of his cave abode. With one leap, he stood in midair and lowered his head to look around.
At that moment, the plants in the mountain range were moving. The power of the world surged towards them from all directions, causing the place to turn into a vortex. The vortex might be shrinking, but as the power of the world surged towards them, it became bigger.
'It's a good thing I didn't open it completely, or else once the dragon head breathed in and out completely, the presence that would appear in this place would be ten times stronger than it is now.
'And at that time, perhaps …' Su Ming hesitated for a moment before he shook his head and got rid of the thought that had suddenly appeared in his head.
He felt that it was a little unrealistic.
That thought had appeared in his head because he was looking at it from midair. The shape of the mountain range and the way it breathed in and out made it seem like a dragon's head was breathing. Then as the wind blew against it all year round, if the mountain was completely opened, then as the wind howled and the mountain absorbed the power of the world, the mountain range might move …
'The mountain is connected to the ground. How can it move? This idea of mine is a little strange.' Su Ming might be mumbling to himself, but he still could not help but ponder over it.
'The mountain range is like a dragon's head. If I open it completely, then once it starts moving due to the wind, then wouldn't the pattern of the Three Evils in this place look as if it's alive … It's as if there's a dragon moving forward on the ground. If I can do this, then perhaps after a few years, this vein will possess its own spirit …'
Su Ming scratched his head and cast a few more glances at the mountain range. When he saw that the vortex beneath him had become much larger, he was not surprised. It was as if he had long since expected this. With one move, he appeared outside the mountain range and found the crack he had opened within the mountain range. After looking at it for a while, Su Ming made some disguises. Once he was certain that no one would notice anything wrong with the mountain wall if they did not look closely, he returned to midair.
"I've only opened up a portion of it. The vortex here only appeared because it has just begun to breathe, and it will completely dissipate in a few days. At that time, this place will still look the same on the outside, but the inside will be turned upside down.
'Then I can carve Runes on it. If only Hu Zi was here, he would definitely be able to create a Rune that only belongs to this place. Right now, I can only use the Runes he told me to set up this place.
'With some disguises, this place will be my first cave abode in the land of the Shamans!'
Satisfaction appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He sank down and sat down cross-legged on the mountain. He brought out Spirit Plunder and had it float above his head. He wore a mask and was dressed in black. As he meditated, a presence that made it seem as if he was a Soul Catcher was spreading out from his body.
After a moment of thought, Su Ming touched his storage bag with his right hand. Immediately, a red light flashed and the Fire Ape flew out. It held the rod in its hand and looked around it. Delight immediately appeared on its face and it bared its teeth at Su Ming.
Su Ming smiled. His gaze fell on the mountain range, and a chilling glare gradually appeared in his eyes.
'This place might not be fully activated, but if anyone dares to provoke me, then I can lure them here and cast the Execution of Three Evils with the layout of this place. I can also control the power of the Execution of Three Evils. In fact, if I run into a powerful enemy, I can even open up all the dragon's mouths in this place and bring out the full power of the attack.
'At that time, this place will turn into a land of death!'
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. During these three days, a few Shamans flew through the sky and were attracted by the vortex in this place. Just as they were about to come closer to investigate, Su Ming let out a cold harrumph, and they noticed his presence.
"I'm practicing a secret Art here. All trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
Su Ming might be wearing a mask, but the presence of a Soul Catcher coming from his entire body, especially his profound eyes, immediately made these people's skin crawl. They were only Fledgling Shamans, but they could tell with just one glance that Su Ming was a Medial Shaman, and he was even a Soul Catcher who was incredibly difficult to deal with. They could not help but wrap their fists in their palms towards him respectfully from the distance.
The Shamans might be of the same race, but their attacks were equally ruthless. It was especially so for Soul Catchers. They were infamous in the land of the Shamans. This sort of existence that was skilled in transforming life and death and refining people into living corpses struck fear into all their enemies.
It was also rumored that Soul Catchers were skilled in Curses. They only needed a strand of their enemy's hair or fingernail to cast this Spell and kill them without leaving a trace.
Because of that, Soul Catchers were naturally mysterious, and most people did not want to provoke them easily.
"We're from White Bull Tribe, which is nearby. We didn't know that you were training here, senior. We came here rashly just now. Please don't be angry. We'll leave quickly." The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. He seemed to only be a Fledgling Shaman. Once he saw the presence of a Soul Catcher on Su Ming's body, he instantly became nervous and immediately bowed towards him respectfully.
White Bull Tribe was just a small tribe. It would have been fine if they ran into a normal Medial Shaman, but if they ran into a Spirit Medium or a Medial Soul Catcher, they had to be respectful.
Once he finished speaking, the man quickly brought his tribe members and left the place. When they flew far into the distance and saw that Su Ming did not pursue the matter, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
