The sky was blue, and there were white clouds floating about. It was very beautiful …
But the coldness beneath him, the cold air around him, the inability to open his eyes, and the stabbing pain in his body caused the blue sky to become a color in his memory, and the white clouds to become a picture in his imagination.
Everything was torn apart, and all that was left was loneliness, grief, and an indescribable fear.
"Today is a good day, Big Brother. The sky is blue, and there are many white clouds. Look, this cloud looks like a little rabbit, and this one, um … looks like a big gray wolf." The childish voice in his ears seemed to cause the darkness in front of him to gradually dissipate. Everything that was torn apart began to heal, and the blue sky reappeared. There was also a rabbit-shaped cloud in the sky, and next to it, the big gray wolf cloud also appeared.
"Ah, Big Brother, this cloud looks like you, very much like you. There's another cloud next to it that looks like me." That childish voice was the only warmth in this dark world, and it was also this voice that explained the differences in color, telling him what was black, what was blue, and what was white.
Every time this voice appeared, he didn't feel cold, he didn't feel lonely, and he didn't feel like there were countless nights in the endless darkness.
Even if the pain in his body became more and more unbearable, even if he could feel someone making a cut on his body every once in a while, causing blood to flow out, he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. As long as he could hear this voice often, as long as he could hear it for the rest of his life …
"Big Brother, cultivation is so tiring. I don't even want to cultivate anymore, but Daddy said that you must cultivate, or else you will die. Big Brother, don't die, I will cultivate, I'm not tired at all …"
Not tired? But if she's not tired, why is her voice so weak? I can't see, but I can feel that she's very tired … What does my death have to do with her cultivation? Daddy, is it that cold voice? If it is, don't listen to him. Every time he comes, I'll be in so much pain that I can't even die.
He called me Destiny, is that my name? It should be, it shouldn't be …
"Brother, it's a sunny day today. Aiya, it's been a sunny day for a long, long time. I guess it must be because you like sunny days, that's why."
Is it a sunny day? Silly girl, the only thing that exists in my body besides my hearing is my senses. The umbrella you're holding doesn't cover my feet. That drop of water on my feet is rain, right? It should be. I've heard from others here that it has been raining for a month.
"Big brother, I see that the other big sisters are all … En, they are very beautiful, but why am I so small? I am only one year younger than them, but I still look like a child.
But Big Brother, you are very handsome. Hehe, I heard from some Senior Sisters that they like the feeling of being by your side. Big Brother, please wake up quickly, okay …
Dad said you're going to wake up soon, but he's been telling me that ever since I was a kid. "
'Like the feeling of being by my side, huh? But why is it that every time your Senior Sisters come here, a lot of the aura in my body disappears? Silly girl, they don't like me, they just like the fact that they can absorb the immortal aura in my body when they're in my body. This is something I overheard when they were talking about it. They thought I couldn't hear it.
'Silly girl, everyone here has ill intentions towards us. I've overheard too many of their conversations …'
"Big Brother, Dad has been acting strange lately. He often … hits me … I've been working hard in my cultivation, and I've already done as he asked. I've always helped the other sect members train, and every time they surround me and train together, I feel my body growing weaker …
"I feel like their gazes are different when they look at me. It's as if … as if they're looking at medicinal cores."
'Damned Immortals, as long as I can open my eyes one day and move my body, I will kill all of you! It's one thing for you to absorb my immortal aura, but you won't even spare her!
'She's just a child! Why must you do this for your cultivation? Why must you do this? Could it be that you haven't absorbed enough of my immortal aura? None of you have my immortal aura in your bodies!
'I swear that if I can stand up one day, I will definitely make all of you pay the price!'
"Big Brother, I'm very tired today … Let me lie down for a while. I'm … very sleepy …"
'Go to sleep. I'll protect you. I'll send my immortal power into your body. That way, you won't be tired tomorrow.
'If only I could see and tell the difference between day and night. If only I could find you in the sea of people and hold your hand … How good would that be?
'If only I could stand up and fly in the sky with you. If only I could go to the ends of the sky and the ends of the earth with you … How good would that be?
'If only I could speak and laugh with you, point at the sky with you, and draw the blue sky and white clouds with you … How good would that be?
'But I can't. I can't see, I can't move, and I can't speak. My world is black, and there's no color. There's only pain in my body, and loneliness.
"Big Brother, I've been feeling sleepy lately. I feel like I've become shorter, and I'm not pretty … No one likes me. I can tell … Big Brother, you're the only one who's with me, right?
"Big Brother, does your body hurt? Don't be sad. I have my own plans. When my cultivation is high enough, I'll bring you away …"
'Silly girl, it's useless. I understand them. He's not your father, nor is he my father. His name is Di Tian.'
"Big Brother, I won't be able to visit you for some time. They … They want me to go to a place … When I come back, I'll visit you again.
Big Brother, hurry up and wake up … "
'I can feel the tears on my body. I can feel a cold gaze staring at me beside the tears.'
"Fei Er, it's time to go." That cold voice reverberated and gradually faded away. My world became black again. Her voice was no longer there. There was no blue sky and no white clouds.
There was only emptiness, loneliness, coldness, rain, snow, bone-piercing wind, and endless pain in my body. There was also the disgusting aura and absorption of my body.
There was also the passing of time. I didn't know how many years had passed. The voice in my ears never appeared again … My time was as black as ever.
'I want to open my eyes. I have to open my eyes, because I want to search for you … I want to search for the blue sky that belongs to me. I want to search for the color of that blue sky and the sound of happiness.
'I want to get up, because so many years have passed, and there has been no news of you. Where are you..? My little sister, are you well?
'I want to speak, because I want to question everyone. How are you now? You … don't become like me.
'Because you're my eyes. Of the two babies Di Tian brought back in the past, the one who lived was you, and the one who died was me.
It was a dream.
Su Ming opened his eyes and saw the sky, saw the clouds, saw the colors in the world, and the dream that made him grieve was still in his head. Confusion appeared in his eyes, but that confusion only appeared for an instant before it turned into a deathly stillness.
It was a pair of eyes filled with a deathly stillness, so calm that it was terrifying!
The instant Di Tian saw that gaze, his heart, which had been as calm as an ancient well, trembled violently!
Su Ming looked at Di Tian and slowly sat up from the coffin. The scar left behind by Dark Mountain on his face was shining with a blood-red light, causing Su Ming to look as if he was filled with an evil and ghastly air.
At the instant Su Ming saw Di Tian, his pupils shrank. Countless pictures suddenly flashed in his eyes before they eventually fixed on a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a gigantic head in an endless dark space. He was not dressed in an Emperor's robe, but was dressed in a long robe.
The person wearing the Emperor's robe before him was incredibly similar to that middle-aged man!
"Di Tian, we meet again." Su Ming lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows. A barely noticeable glint appeared in his eyes, and he stood up from the coffin. His hair was no longer red, but had returned to its original color. The mark of the peach blossom at the center of his brows was still there, but it had become much duller.
For the first time, Di Tian's pupils shrank. He did not speak, but only stared at Su Ming as if he was observing him.
Su Ming rubbed his brows with his left hand. The instant his gaze swept past the coffin by his side, for some unknown reason, his heart trembled. It was as if it was empty, and a pain that made him feel as if he was suffocating appeared in his heart.
The black pictures appeared once again in his eyes. Those were all the things that happened in his dream, along with that youthful voice … Su Ming's heart trembled. He was incredibly bewildered by everything before his eyes. He only remembered that he was struck by Madam Ji's Peach Blossom Fiend, which had stirred up the most primal desires in his body. Once he went to White Bull Tribe, he forced them down and struggled his way back to the mountain range outside his cave abode. Before he could no longer control himself, he used Han Mountain Bell to seal himself, then fell into a long period of unconsciousness. Even if he occasionally woke up, he would only remember that he was in Han Mountain Bell.
When he fell unconscious for the final time, he opened his eyes, and he saw the person who made his heart tremble. The man in the Emperor's robe was the person who had appeared sitting on the head in the void for an unknown number of years when he was Possessed by Han Mountain's ancestor.
This person's appearance caused Su Ming's heart to tremble. He should have been unable to control this change in his emotions, but for some unknown reason, he managed to control this change in his emotions in an incredibly ingenious manner. It was as if this was some sort of instinct that was awakening within him.
But that was not all. Su Ming also noticed that his mind seemed to have become much clearer than before. Faintly, some of the unfamiliar yet familiar pictures would occasionally flash in his mind, as if these were his memories to begin with, but they had been sealed away. Now, as he woke up, these memories started showing signs of returning.
It was especially so the moment he saw the coffin. That strong feeling caused him to pat the coffin lightly with his right hand even though he looked calm on the outside. With it, the coffin's lid immediately shattered and turned into an endless amount of shards that spread out, revealing the item within the coffin clearly.
There was a stone statue lying within the coffin. That statue was of a woman with long hair. She was not very pretty, and there was a hint of pain on her face, causing her to look pitiful.
She had a petite figure that did not seem to have gone through puberty. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was an ancient look on her face that could not be hidden, and it clearly showed her true age.
That statue was incredibly lifelike. Practically everything about the woman was carved out, and it was clear that it was not carved by a human.
When Su Ming woke up, he looked at the stone statue in the coffin, and a thunderous roar rose in his heart. This was the first time he saw the woman's face, but for some unknown reason, the instant he saw her, his heart clenched in pain. The young voice from his dreams echoed in his ears once again.
"Big brother, the sky is blue …"
"Big brother, I'm a little tired …"
"Big brother, they asked me to go to a place. I'll come and see you when I come back …"
"Brother, wake up quickly …" (To be continued). If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
