'Di Tian's projected clone should have disappeared under the power of the God of Berserkers … But the projection of a clone is already so powerful. If he sent another clone here, or if his real body came here …' Su Ming sat down cross-legged in his cave abode and remembered what had happened half a year ago. His expression turned dark.
'But why am I so important to him with his great power..? Perhaps it's more accurate to say, just what sort of secret is hidden in my body, or rather, in Di Tian's heart?' Su Ming had thought about this question for a long time, but he still could not find a complete answer.
"Fei Er …" Su Ming whispered softly. When he said those two words, he did not feel grief in his mind, but his heart and body could not help but grieve.
Su Ming closed his eyes. When he opened them after a long while, there was grief in his eyes.
"Perhaps the greatest sorrow in the world is that you don't know why you're sad …" Su Ming mumbled softly to himself in anguish. He remembered the stone statue of the woman in the coffin. He also understood that everything in his dream might have been real … but he, who still lacked most of his memories, found it difficult to understand the grief in his body and heart.
'Without memories that are carved into my bones, even the most familiar people will become strangers to me … But I can't wipe away my body's memories. The pain in my heart reminds me of the existence of grief … but my mind is calm, as if my body and soul have been separated.
'Just what is this Destiny?!
'Just what is Di Tian thinking?!
"Just who am I? Now that I think about it, is everything in Dark Mountain really an illusion …?"
'Why … did the elder name me Su Ming..?'
'Destiny, Destiny … Once I control my own fate, who can still call me Destiny?!' Su Ming lifted his head. His gaze seemed to be able to see through the cave abode and see the sky beyond the seal.
After a long while, Su Ming closed his eyes and formed a seal with his hands. The Nascent Soul in his body moved along with him and executed the divine ability to create puppets. As for the material, it was the old Berserker.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, a month went by.
During this month, the small snake continued observing the area vigilantly, carrying out Su Ming's orders with his divine thought and protecting him.
On this day, the power of the world in Su Ming's cave abode suddenly started tumbling about, as if it had turned into a vortex that absorbed all the power of the world in the area. Even the mountain range started rumbling, and this lasted for most of the day. Then, two people walked out of the cave abode.
The person in the lead was Su Ming. His face was aloof and he was dressed in black robes. Behind him was the old Berserker with a dull look in his eyes. His entire body was pitch black, and there was a ghastly presence spreading out from him as he followed behind Su Ming.
Su Ming stopped outside the cave abode and turned his head around to cast a glance at the old Berserker behind him. A faint glint appeared in his eyes, and he lifted his right hand to form a seal before pointing forward. Immediately, a dark light appeared in the old man's eyes. He took a step forward and hurled his fist towards the sky.
With that punch, an intense rumble and a large area of ripples appeared in the sky. There was also a black fog that spread out along with his punch, enveloping an area of seventy to eighty feet. Not far away, the small snake lifted its head and stared at the black fog. There was doubt in its eyes.
The old Berserker stood in midair, unmoving.
Su Ming stared at the old man, shook his head, and sighed.
'This person might only be in the initial stage of the Berserker Soul Realm, but I don't know what sort of divine ability he's practiced. His body is incredibly sturdy, and his soul can split into several parts to hide in his body.
'With the Immortals' Art of creating puppets, they can only refine two of his souls and four of his physical forms. It's still difficult to find a place to hide one of his souls and three of his physical forms, or else I would be able to control him and have him cast the divine abilities of the Berserker Soul Realm instead of just relying on his physical power.
However, this was still fine. According to the Ten Thousand Poison Corpse Transformation Art that Hong Luo had inherited, what was refined was a Poison Corpse, and there was no need for any Divine Abilities. It only needed a strong physical body, because the poison within its body was the best Divine Ability.
'I might only be able to refine half of it, but some of the snake's poison is still in his body. That poison is incredibly domineering, and I can use it temporarily. If I run into any other poisonous creatures in the future, I can let this Poison Corpse absorb it and slowly refine it into a real Poison Corpse!
"I'm afraid that just this Poison Corpse alone won't be able to blast open that block of ice. We need to make more preparations." Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence. Once he sent a thought to the Poison Corpse, he no longer bothered with it and returned to his cave abode to isolate himself once again.
The Poison Corpse fell from the sky. His entire body was black, and a dull look appeared in his eyes once again. He stood outside the cave abode, unmoving.
The small snake in the sky flew towards him in a flash, puzzled. It crawled down on the Poison Corpse's head and hissed, looking incredibly comfortable.
Time passed by once again. Su Ming had been continuously trying to refine Ji Yun Hai's corpse in his cave abode, but every single time he sent his divine sense into Ji Yun Hai's corpse, he would not be able to keep it in his body. He could not find a place to place his Brand.
Ji Yun Hai's body was empty. In fact, even his organs were gone. His entire body was like a shell, and Su Ming could not understand just how Madam Ji managed to control this puppet.
He tried a lot of methods, but in the end, Su Ming was still at his wit's end. He looked at Ji Yun Hai's corpse and frowned as he thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.
'Soul Catchers are very mysterious, and Madam Ji's puppet is different from the young Soul Catcher's puppet I met in the past. Just how did she manage to control this puppet?
'This is clearly an empty shell!' Su Ming frowned. Suddenly, a focused look appeared on his face, and he looked towards Ji Yun Hai's corpse. A brilliant light gradually appeared in his eyes.
'Empty shell … Empty shell …' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. After a moment of pensive silence, he closed his eyes and formed a seal with both hands before he tapped a few spots on his body. Immediately, his presence changed, and the small Nascent Soul in his body opened its eyes. There was a sparkle in those eyes, and it was naturally Su Ming.
The small Nascent Soul moved and crawled out of the top of Su Ming's skull. Once it floated above his head, its body became a little indistinct, as if it would disappear with just a gust of wind. It shuddered, and surprise as well as a dazed look appeared in the small Nascent Soul's eyes.
"The Nascent Soul is the soul of cultivation. The body is just the shell. The Nascent Soul is the foundation. To a Cultivator, once their Nascent Soul or Nascent Divinity is taken away, then it's the same as death. If it's the other way around, then the physical body is secondary …" Su Ming's voice tumbled out of the small Nascent Soul's mouth, and with a single move, it charged towards Ji Yun Hai's corpse and disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, Ji Yun Hai's eyes suddenly opened. His eyes were completely gray. However, there was a dim glow flashing deep within the gray. Ji Yun Hai slowly sat up and lowered his head to check his body. A moment later, a smile was revealed on the corner of his mouth.
'Not bad. So this is how you use this puppet. It must be different from Madam Ji's method …'
At the same time, Su Ming also opened his eyes. Once he met Ji Yun Hai's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, but there was also a strange look on his face.
Su Ming looked at Ji Yun Hai, and he had a feeling as if he had been split into two. One of them gathered on Ji Yun Hai with his power as an Immortal, and the other was his true self, looking at Ji Yun Hai, who was being controlled by him in a manner similar to Possession.
Su Ming smiled. Ji Yun Hai, who was being controlled by his Nascent Soul, also smiled. With one move, buzzing sounds immediately came from another stone chamber, and a large swarm of black beetles woke up at that moment and rushed over. Su Ming's pupils shrank, but he did not move. Even Ji Yun Hai, who was being controlled by his Nascent Soul, did not move. He simply allowed the beetles to come to him. Once they covered his entire body, Ji Yun Hai looked as if he had turned into another person. If no one looked closely, they would not be able to tell that his flesh and blood were actually formed by these black beetles.
'If that's the case, then this can also be considered as one of my clones.' Su Ming felt his spirit rise. He had seen Di Tian's projection before, and now that he also possessed this strange clone, it allowed Su Ming to gain a greater understanding towards the Immortals' divine abilities.
Su Ming was already sitting down cross-legged. With a single thought, a hint of a smile immediately appeared on his clone's black face. He turned around and walked out of his cave abode.
As he watched his clone leave, Su Ming lifted his right hand, and with a flip of his palm, a crystal the size of a fist appeared on his palm. It was the Wind Crystal of Berserkers. As he stared at this item, a strange look appeared on Su Ming's face. He had tried everything he could think of, but it was still difficult for him to fuse with this item. However, the battle against Madam Ji that day had allowed him to gain a hint of inspiration through Madam Ji's divine ability when he fought against her.
However, he had lost his consciousness after that. Only when he returned to his cave abode did he calm down and think about whether that hint of inspiration at that time could work.
'It doesn't matter whether it's the power of the God of Berserkers, Han Mountain Bell, or even my power as an Immortal, they're all external powers to me. I can't rely on them too much. 'Only my own power as a Berserker can make me stronger!' Su Ming stared at the Wind Crystal of Berserkers, and an indescribable light shone in his eyes.
'This method might actually work!' Su Ming gritted his teeth.
At that moment, his clone walked out of his cave abode under the control of his Nascent Soul. The instant he did so, the small snake lying on the Poison Corpse's head immediately looked towards Su Ming's clone with a puzzled look on its face.
Su Ming's clone smiled faintly and swung his right hand at the ground. Immediately, the tribe leader of Black Crane flew towards him and was swept up by him. With one move, he rose into the air and turned into a long arc that charged into the distance. When he approached the spot where Hong Luo had placed the seal, Su Ming's clone lifted his right hand and formed a seal before pointing at the air. Immediately, ripples appeared before him, and Su Ming's clone walked into those ripples and disappeared without a trace.
When he reappeared, Su Ming's clone was standing in midair. When he lowered his head to look down, he could no longer see the mountain range beneath him, only empty space. Not too far away was a fire red ape squatting there and staring at him with a dumbfounded expression.
When he saw the Fire Ape, Su Ming's clone let out a boisterous laugh. His face was filled with delight, and he lifted his right hand to point at the Fire Ape. Immediately, ripples appeared in the air before the ape, revealing the entrance to the mountain range. The Fire Ape was momentarily stunned before it immediately crawled inside, and the entrance disappeared.
The smile on Su Ming's clone's lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold and dark look. He looked in the direction of Black Crane Tribe, and with one move, he charged towards it!
