Cold, just like the feeling in the dream …
Waves of cold came from outside his body, and he could not open his eyes. It was pitch black, very similar to the feeling in the dream. The surroundings were quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary, and not a single sound could be heard.
Other than the cold, other than the darkness, there was nothing.
If only her voice appeared and told him that the sky was clear and the clouds were like bunnies … how good would that be.
But no, the voice did not appear. The cold became more and more intense, and his body could not move. Waves of pain kept appearing, but slowly, it was as if he had become numb … Am I sleeping …
I, who is it …
Time slowly passed, and he did not know how much time had passed.
This was a black seabed without a trace of light. In the depths of this seabed, there were countless huge pieces of ice. Due to the special nature of the seawater, these pieces of ice did not float on the surface. Instead, they quietly sank at the bottom of the seabed.
Or rather, this was not the seabed at all, but a glacier … The real seabed was the deepest part of this glacier. That place … was unknown to anyone.
Above this glacier was the black seawater. Only those who had reached this place would know how high it was.
On top of the layers of glacier, there was a protruding iceberg. It was not tall, only about a hundred feet tall, and it was completely black. It was unknown whether it was its original color or the color of the seawater.
If one were to take a closer look, they would be able to vaguely see that there seemed to be something sealed within the ice mountain … If someone were to stand there and use their powerful Divine Sense to see through the ice mountain, they would see that there was an oval-shaped vortex that was more than a hundred feet wide sealed within the ice mountain.
The appearance of this vortex gave people the feeling that it was a door. It was filled with a dark color, and it was sealed inside the iceberg.
Beside the door of the vortex was a body that was also sealed in ice. He was not standing, but lying there with his eyes closed, like a frozen statue.
It was a young man with long hair and a pale face. There was a faint mark of a peach blossom between his eyebrows. He wore a torn robe, and there was a patch of dark red on his knees. That was frozen blood.
There was even blood at the corner of this person's mouth, sealed in ice.
There were two circles of hair on his right index finger and a red ring on his finger. His expression looked bitter, but his sword-like eyebrows gave him a sense of unswerving determination.
He just lay there calmly, frozen.
One day, in the black ice mountain at the bottom of the sea, cracking sounds could be heard coming from the layer of ice surrounding the young man. However, it did not shatter.
However, it was clear that even though the young man was unable to open his eyes, there was a faint life force coming from his body.
He … was Su Ming!
Su Ming had woken up, but he could not open his eyes. He could not move his body. The freezing air had already pierced through his entire body.
'Where … am I..?' Su Ming closed his eyes, and his divine sense slowly spread out from his body. The instant it touched the layer of ice beside him, he immediately felt a wave of resistance. That resistance was so strong that once Su Ming's divine sense spread out several dozens of feet, it could no longer continue.
'I'm surrounded by ice, and there's … the Gate to the Void?' Doubt rose in Su Ming's heart. He remembered Hong Luo saying that the Gate to the Void would send him back to his cave abode, but the ice in this place clearly told him that this place … was not his cave abode!
'Could it be that Di Tian's final White Sun Soaring crashed against my power of the God of Berserkers and stirred up a powerful force that … caused some changes to the Gate to the Void..?' Su Ming soon thought of the answer. Besides Hong Luo lying, this was the closest answer.
However, there was simply no need for Hong Luo to hide this. Su Ming already had an answer in his heart.
However, at the same time he became somewhat certain of this answer, a new question appeared in his heart.
'The Gate to the Void … why does it still exist? From what I understand and what Hong Luo meant, it should have disappeared on its own once it sent me out.
'Yet now … I might not be able to send my divine sense too far away, but I can still clearly sense the Gate to the Void by my side. Just what is the reason for this..?' Su Ming thought about it, and after a long while, he forced down his doubts and quietly circulated his cultivation base.
This was the first time he had sensed the cultivation in his body since he had woken up. When he had woken up before, because of Di Tian's existence, because of Hong Luo's words, and because of the scenes in his dream, he had not thought of sensing his cultivation.
At that moment, in the silence around him, once he knew that he should be frozen, Su Ming's heart gradually calmed down. At the same time he sensed his cultivation base, some information that seemed to have been forcefully added to his mind appeared in his head …
It was Hong Luo's Dao, his divine abilities, his Arts, his understanding towards cultivation base, and also his understanding towards the Immortals and the entire cultivation system.
Su Ming's heart trembled. As he sensed all that information, a huge wave stirred up in his heart. That wave swept through Su Ming's soul, causing him to only regain his senses after a long while.
'So this is the Immortals … Three Steps to Heaven Step … Fusing with the essence of all worlds to become a Solar Kalpa Realm …' The anguish in Su Ming's heart grew stronger, but at the same time, a wave of determination grew within him!
'I once said that I would definitely surpass Di Tian … Even now, my words have not changed. One of these days, no matter what price I have to pay, I will definitely surpass Di Tian's level of cultivation!
'At that time …' Su Ming's heart slowly calmed down and he circulated his cultivation base. As time passed by, his flesh and blood gradually became no longer cold. His life force slowly became abundant, and as his body recovered, his divine sense also spread out further, and the strength of the resistance also became weaker.
One day, Su Ming's divine sense shot out from the ice mountain with a bang and swept outwards in all directions. In an instant, it covered nearly ten thousand lis in the black seawater, and this was because there was also a resistance force within the black seawater. Besides that, there was also a mighty pressure that suppressed divine sense, or else Su Ming's divine sense would have been even greater when he spread it out.
Once his divine sense spread out ten thousand lis, Su Ming saw the place where he was. He saw the glacier on the ground, himself on the ice mountain, and the Gate to the Void. He also saw the black seawater.
However, his divine sense could not leave the seawater. It was as if compared to the seawater, the area his divine sense covered was just a drop in the ocean.
Su Ming opened his eyes.
The layer of ice around his body was slowly melting, allowing him to open his eyes, but he still could not move his body. He looked at the black seawater beyond the layer of ice, and a dazed look appeared in his eyes, but it soon disappeared.
'Could this be the Dead Sea?!' Su Ming's pupils shrank.
He retrieved his divine sense, and at the same time it covered his body, he spread some of it to the frozen Gate to the Void. After observing it carefully for a moment, Su Ming found some clues.
'When the Gate to the Void was Relocated, it was disturbed by the power of my battle against Di Tian, causing the Relocation to deviate, and I was sent to the ice under the Dead Sea …
'But due to the external force and the ice sealing it, it did not disappear. Instead, it looked as if it had gained physical form and was preserved.
'If that's the case … if it can still operate, then could it continue Relocation and send me … back to my cave abode in the mountain range?' A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The power of his Berserker Bones erupted from his body and spread outwards. Cracking sounds rang out, and the layer of ice around him immediately started cracking. However, it only cracked, and he was still far from being able to escape.
Su Ming frowned and closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened them. This time, at the instant he did so, a profound look filled his eyes, and a brilliant light shone in them. The small humanoid that looked exactly like him sitting in his Dantian region also opened its eyes.
With a bang, the ice around Su Ming's body trembled once again due to a power that was different from the power of the Berserkers bursting forth from his body. It no longer shattered, but cracks started spreading through the ice.
These two different powers formed two different transformations. Su Ming's eyes sparkled, and he gained a new understanding towards his current level of cultivation.
'The power of the Berserker Tribe is strong and fierce, that's why it can shatter the ice. The power of the Immortals is long and gentle, that's why cracks spread out …' As Su Ming's level of cultivation went through multiple transformations, the layer of ice around him shattered with a bang several days later, causing his body to finally regain mobility.
However, only the interior of the ice shattered. The outer layer remained, as if it had turned into a gigantic shell. The ice around it was rapidly growing, and before long, it would turn into a frozen mountain once again.
'Based on the Dao of Inheritance Hong Luo gave me, the small humanoid in my body is known as a Nascent Soul, and the power that belongs to the Immortals in my body is known as the Nascent Soul Realm.
'But the Nascent Soul Realm doesn't seem to be very strong. It can't compare to Di Tian at all, but Hong Luo used his powerful divine sense to allow this body to bring out most of his divine abilities … By the looks of it, divine sense is the Immortals' true focus!
'Hong Luo might have died, but he still left behind a large number of divine abilities and Arts in the Dao of Inheritance. It's a pity … that all of them require a powerful divine sense to cast.
'But there are also some Arts that can be used by those in the Nascent Soul Realm … such as …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he took a swift step forward. His body disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already several dozens of feet away.
Even if it was only several dozens of feet and Su Ming could reach this sort of speed before, he had relied on his speed, and right now, he did not use any of the power of the Berserker Tribe. He only used the Immortals' divine abilities!
"A short instant …" Su Ming mumbled softly. As he pondered over it, he instinctively spread his divine sense outwards once again. This time, he did not go to check the black seawater beyond the ice mountain, but swept his divine sense across the glacier.
Suddenly, his expression changed. Within the area of his divine sense, he saw an innumerable amount of living creatures sealed within and beyond the endless glacier!
Almost every few meters, there was an object sealed in ice!
