The first day.
The rain became heavier. The wind and clouds tumbled about in the sky. Lightning and thunder roared as they sliced through the sky. The clouds became thicker, and from the distance, it looked as if they were about to descend on the ground and crash into it.
On that day, Su Ming tried breaking the Rune seven times in a row, but every single time, he could not surpass the changes in the Rune. It was as if two mirrors were placed side by side, and all he could see was an endless darkness that spread to an unknown place. If he wanted to see the world in the mirror, then he had to rush out of that darkness!
The third day.
Rain poured down like a torrential downpour. Tremors appeared on the ground of the World of Nine Yin, and there were even some mountains that looked as if they were about to shatter into pieces.
The clouds in the sky rotated slowly as they tumbled about. At first glance, it looked as if the entire sky had turned into a gigantic vortex. There were ninety-nine pillars of light connecting the sky and the earth in the World of Nine Yin. If anyone drew the entire World of Nine Yin into a huge picture, then they would be able to clearly see that the ninety-nine pillars of light were like beams of light that supported the vortex in the sky!
During these three days, Su Ming tried a dozen something times to surpass the Rune, but he still failed every single time. Yet even so, Su Ming had slowly figured out some of the patterns. The speed he used to break through the Rune was his specialty, his speed. As he traveled at that speed, he gradually noticed that there were a few illusions that were distorting and disappearing.
'I need to continue traveling at high speed!' On the third night, after Su Ming failed, he stood on the first altar and his eyes sparkled.
The fifth day.
More cracks appeared on the ground, and deep ravines tore through the ground of the World of Nine Yin with loud bangs. It was as if the ground was about to collapse. As the ravines spread out in all directions, many mountains collapsed, and shattered stones fell off. Many of them fell into the endless ravines.
If anyone looked down from the sky, they would be able to see that the ground looked as if it was shattering, and the cracks were slowly spreading outwards. It was as if there was something that wanted to rush out from the ground.
A large amount of rain poured into the ravines, and they would never be able to fill them up. The vortex in the clouds rotated even faster, and the loud rumbling sounds became an eternal sound in the World of Nine Yin.
Bolts of lightning continued flashing and rumbling in the depths of the vortex in the clouds in the sky, as if they wanted to blast the center of the vortex apart.
Su Ming continued failing. By the end of the fifth day, he had already lost count of how many times he had failed, but even if he did not succeed even once, he could already make more than a hundred illusions disappear rapidly.
However, it was difficult for Su Ming to maintain this sort of speed for a long period of time. Because of it, he could not surpass all the changes brought about by the Rune.
The seventh day.
At first glance, the vortex in the sky did not seem to be spinning anymore. That was because it was spinning too fast, so fast that it gave people the impression that it was just an illusion. As it spun rapidly, the booming sounds turned into shocking howls. As they echoed in the air, a gigantic human face slowly appeared in the vortex.
The face had four eyes. The two extra eyes were at the center of its brows, and they were both closed. They protruded from the cloud vortex, and the center of the vortex was where the fourth eye was.
This was the World Spirit, and it was also the sleeping Vessel Spirit of the Enchanted Vessel from the Sacred Yin World that had turned into the World of Nine Yin!
Once the face appeared, the collapse of the ground reached its peak. Even the valley belonging to the Fated Kin had collapsed. Fortunately, the Fated Kin had been prepared for this since a long time ago. At that moment, they gathered together, and under Nan Gong Hen's lead, they waited for Su Ming's return outside the altar.
When Su Ming was prepared to challenge the Rune on the altar, he had spread his divine sense outwards and told Nan Gong Hen the exact time when the world would change and where he would go.
From the fifth day onwards, Su Ming sat down on the first altar. He did not try to challenge it again, but chose to meditate quietly instead. Even when the seventh day passed, he still remained the same.
The ninth day!
When this day arrived, most of the ground had sunk in. The hundreds of Fated Kin led by Nan Gong Hen had also retreated to the edge of the altar. They could see Su Ming sitting on the altar not too far away from them, and they could also see that the valley they had stayed in for fifteen years had completely collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
They could also see that the spot a hundred feet away from them, near the collapsed valley, had turned into a ravine. It was as if they were standing on a lone cliff.
The eyes of the gigantic human face that had appeared in the vortex in the sky were trembling at that moment, as if it was slowly waking up from a deep slumber. The two eyes at the center of its brows were also trembling furiously, as if they were about to open at any moment!
The ninety-nine pillars of light also seemed to have reached their limit. Seven of them were rapidly fading away before eventually disappearing. Once they disappeared, another dozen something pillars of light faded away as well, as if they could no longer hold on and gradually faded away.
Su Ming continued sitting cross-legged on the altar, unmoving. He had been like this for the past few days, but even though he did not move, the Fated Kin who had been paying attention to him had gradually noticed that Su Ming's presence was becoming stronger with each passing day!
His Qi was growing stronger with every passing moment, and it was especially so on the ninth day. Distortions started appearing in the air around Su Ming, as if it could no longer withstand the power he was accumulating in his body!
His body had still been shining with golden light a few days ago, but at that moment, that golden light was fading away. It did not disappear, but was instead absorbed by Su Ming, preventing that golden light from spilling out!
As the hundreds of Fated Kin and Nan Gong Hen watched intently, time gradually passed by. When the ninth day passed, the tenth day arrived!
Not long after the tenth day arrived, the eyes of the gigantic human face in the sky trembled even more furiously. The clouds rumbled and moved about, and even the spot where the altar was started trembling, as if it could no longer hold on. Cracks started appearing on the altar.
At a spot in the sky that the crowd could not see, a person in yellow robes appeared. He stood in midair and formed a seal with his hands before he pointed towards the sky.
"Spirit of the Enchanted Vessel, as the Elder of the Spirits of Nine Yin, awaken!"
The human face in the sky trembled even more furiously, but it still could not open its eyes. It was as if there was a power within its soul that made it difficult for it to wake up!
At that moment, the pillars of light in the World of Nine Yin were rapidly disappearing. There were only twenty-seven of them left, and they were rapidly fading away. Once all these pillars of light disappeared and the World Spirit still did not wake up, then everything they had done this time would end in failure!
As the pillars of light disappeared and the altar started crumbling, the Rune formed by the altar also started weakening. Once the final wisp of golden light around Su Ming's body was completely absorbed into his body, he opened his eyes swiftly.
There was a profound look in his eyes, and not a single hint of golden light could be seen within them. Su Ming had been accumulating his power for several days, and during these few days, he had not paid any attention to the world around him. He had placed all his attention on gathering up his power, and the instant he opened his eyes, he charged forward at an indescribable speed.
This was the fastest speed Su Ming had executed during the past ten days!
Almost the instant Su Ming rushed out of the altar, an innumerable amount of altars appeared before him, along with an innumerable amount of himself charging forward. However, the moment these illusions appeared, several dozens of them immediately distorted and disappeared. Clearly, they could not keep up with Su Ming's speed and were overtaken by him!
Everything in Su Ming's eyes disappeared at that moment. The only thing that remained was the endless path to the altar that was like a black hole before him. He forgot everything and executed his strongest speed to charge forward. The illusions disappeared around him, and after a moment, a total of one hundred of them disappeared, but there were still an endless amount of them before Su Ming!
Nearly one hundred illusions had disappeared. This was Su Ming's limit a few days ago, but it was not his limit now. All the power in his Bone Sacrifice Realm erupted forth, and his speed became slightly faster. As he charged forward, he left behind a trail of afterimages, but as they appeared, a large number of illusions disappeared as well.
Su Ming did not know how much time had passed. He only knew that as he continued charging forward, time seemed to have slowed down. A large number of illusions disappeared, but there were still quite a large number of them before him.
When he circulated his cultivation base, he felt intense pain all over his body. This was a sign that he had surpassed what he could bear. However, there were still a dozen something of his illusions far ahead of him. He had surpassed most of them, but it was still difficult for him to surpass all of them.
'Is this it..?' Su Ming felt anguished. He knew that even if he turned into Destiny, it would still be difficult for him to surpass all of them within fifteen breaths!
Yet the instant he felt anguished in his heart, as the sky suddenly roared and the ground trembled, cracks suddenly appeared on the first altar that truly existed in this place.
This was the creation of the world, the awakening of the World Spirit. Yet almost the instant the cracks appeared on the altar, Su Ming immediately noticed that the dozen something illusions of himself before him froze at the same time.
That momentary pause caused the strongest light to shine in Su Ming's eyes. Without a hint of hesitation, he turned into a vortex as he continued charging forward, and the one who rushed out of that vortex was Destiny's teenage self!
With that one step, he made the dozen something illusions freeze in that state for an eternity. They continued freezing and retreating, and when fifteen breaths passed by, the teenage Destiny turned back into Su Ming, and he appeared less than five feet away from the dozen something illusions.
However, even if it was only five feet, he had already surpassed all the changes in the Rune. He felt as if his entire body had crashed into a membrane. That membrane stopped his body from moving through, but it could not stop Su Ming from looking at it with his eyes wide open!
He saw …
Almost the instant Su Ming saw the world in the mirror, the old man in yellow robes spread his arms wide open in the sky above the World of Nine Yin. When there were only three pillars of light left, a low roar came from the sunken ground.
"World Spirit, awaken!" Along with that muffled roar was an arm made of withered wood rising from the canyons in the sunken ground. Behind that arm was a gigantic head made of withered wood, along with a gigantic figure that was ten thousand feet tall!
It was a person made of withered wood that looked like a tree that was ten thousand feet tall!
That head was the one that hung in Shaman City in the past, and that body was the real body of the old man in yellow robes from the Spirits of Nine Yin!
The instant that roar shook the sky, the three remaining pillars of light were extinguished. Yet right at the instant they were extinguished, the gigantic human face in the vortex in the sky opened its third and fourth eyes at the center of its brows at the same time!
The World Spirit had awakened!
Blackout, blackout, blackout … I can't fix it today, and I'm so frustrated that I'm about to explode! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
