"Great Yu Sky Palace."
There was an ancient air to those words, causing all those who saw them to feel as if the decay of time was crashing into their faces!
Su Ming crouched down in a daze for a long time. Great Yu was incredibly important to all Berserkers, because the Great Yu Dynasty was the holy land and core of the Berserkers. It was created by the first God of Berserkers, and it was the symbol of all Berserkers!
It was especially so after the continents were split up and the Dead Sea cut off all the continents from one continent to another, causing the people's impression of the Great Yu Dynasty to slowly turn into a legend.
Su Ming's understanding of the Great Yu Dynasty only grew deeper after he became a Divine General of Awakening and a Divine General of Bone Sacrifice as he experienced more things.
There might be plenty of rumors saying that Great Yu was no longer around, but those were just rumors. The appearance of the three great deity statues caused these rumors to not be accepted by the people. In the hearts of many Berserkers, the Great Yu Dynasty still existed. It was at the center of the five continents and had always protected the Berserkers while waiting for the fourth God of Berserkers to arrive.
Su Ming stared at the broken sign before him with a dumbfounded expression. Violent gusts of wind howled in his head, and he could not calm down even after a long time had passed. When the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed, he lifted his head with great difficulty and looked at the prideful turtle by his side.
"This … Where did you find it?" Su Ming asked with a complicated expression.
The turtle swung its head and became even more prideful.
"Take me there …" Su Ming said calmly.
The turtle hesitated for a moment before it laid down slowly. Without any hesitation, Su Ming went onto the turtle's back. Once he stood there, the turtle lifted its head and let out a low growl before it charged into the distance.
It was dark all around him, and he could not see too far into the distance. Seawater filled the area, and the pressure was something Su Ming could not withstand in the past, but he could now.
He had been in this frozen world for many years, and besides the time he retrieved the spiked club, he had not ventured out to explore the area. He did not even spread his divine sense too far. It was not that he did not want to, but the world was rejecting his divine sense, making it difficult for him to spread it out. Besides, Su Ming spent most of his time training and had the turtle outside, which was why he did not search for where he was.
In his heart, he had a vague idea that this should be the Dead Sea, but he did not know where the surface of the sea above him was.
At that moment, as the turtle moved forward, Su Ming left the cave abode he had stayed in for four years and swam into the distance.
His divine sense slowly spread out. Although it couldn't spread very far, under his perseverance, he was able to cover a bit. As the tortoise sped along, he saw the location of his Immortal's cave behind him. Shockingly … it was a mountain!
His cave was located at the top of the mountain!
Further into the distance, Su Ming saw a gigantic palace. That palace was completely sealed in ice, and only a corner of it could be seen … As the turtle continued moving forward, Su Ming's heart trembled.
Gradually, he saw palaces after palaces … He saw people dressed in strange clothes within the ice … There were also gigantic ferocious beasts, ferocious giant snakes, and an innumerable amount of people fighting against each other …
At that moment, all of these people had turned into a part of the ice, and they looked as if they were alive … In fact, as the turtle continued charging forward, Su Ming saw an old man with a head full of white hair above him. He wore a purple robe and looked incredibly mighty. As he lifted his right hand, a round plate floated in the air, and under his feet was an incredibly large dark turtle. However, it had also turned into an ice statue and was connected to the ice pillars on the ground.
Standing before him was a middle-aged man dressed in an Emperor's robe. There was a totem on that man's face, a picture of a Berserker Mark. There was grief on his face, and he held a huge sail in his right hand. He looked as if he was about to swing it, but he had already turned into an ice statue and became a part of the frozen land.
Between them were snowflakes that had been sealed in ice … As they were sealed in ice, it was currently snowing, and a desolate wind was currently swirling about.
Su Ming could already imagine that one day, a desolate wind would moan as it blew through the world. Snow would dance in the wind, and the sky would be split into pieces before the snow would fall on the ground, layer by layer.
Su Ming saw this scene with his divine sense, and it made his heart tremble. As the turtle continued charging forward, he gradually saw more of the palaces and towers that covered the ground. He could not see the end of the palaces and towers, and there were also houses all over the place. Each of those houses looked incredibly ancient …
In fact, he could even see people who were still fighting against each other outside those houses. They were fighting madly against people dressed in strange clothes!
Su Ming was not unfamiliar with those strange clothes. He had seen them on the Celestial Maiden, on the Immortals in the land of the Shamans, and on Di Tian!
This was a city!
Or perhaps more accurately speaking …
"Great Yu Imperial City …" Su Ming mumbled. On the turtle's back, he saw a towering palace. It was the biggest palace among all the palaces in the land, but it was broken. In fact, even the spot where the sign was supposed to be had crumbled.
They continued moving into the distance … The turtle was clearly used to all of this. As it swam forward, it brought Su Ming to the frozen city that was buried under the Dead Sea. When they arrived at the center of the frozen city, Su Ming saw a mountain!
More accurately speaking, it was an altar!
It was in the shape of a heptagon and was entirely black. It stood tall and unmoving in the ice.
He saw more than one hundred thousand people standing under the altar, as if they were worshiping it … At the top of the altar, Su Ming saw an old man sitting cross-legged.
That old man was dressed in a purple robe, and he was sealed in ice along with the altar.
Su Ming looked at this scene in a daze. The turtle beneath him let out a cheering roar as it charged forward and brought Su Ming to the top of the altar. At the instant Su Ming lowered his head, he saw the old man in purple robes sealed in ice on the altar beneath him.
That old man's face was covered in wrinkles and brown spots. His eyes were open, but not a hint of light could be seen within them. Before him was a complete spine, and in his right hand was a stone slip that stopped on the thirteenth spine.
The old man lifted his head as if he was looking at the sky, but when Su Ming looked towards him, a loud bang went off in his head, and he had a feeling that the old man on the altar was looking at him …
That gaze seemed to have come from the passage of time. No one knew how long it had existed, but it was as if the old man had indeed seen something before he died. Perhaps what he saw was what was happening right then.
It was an indescribable feeling. As Su Ming's mind trembled, he felt that the entire frozen world was filled with an indescribable strangeness.
At that moment, a low roar suddenly traveled forth from the frozen city. That roar seemed to have come from under the endless layers of ice, causing the ice to tremble and reverberate in the air. It seemed to have come from a great distance, but when it traveled out, it made the turtle beneath Su Ming let out a shrill scream of pain and leave swiftly. Su Ming's heart trembled, and his vision became clouded. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his cultivation base was almost about to crumble.
It was just a roar, and it had traveled through the endless layers of ice, but it already contained such shocking power. Su Ming's pupils shrank. The turtle beneath him also increased its speed in the midst of its fear, and in the blink of an eye, it was already charging into the distance.
As the turtle charged into the distance, the altar gradually became indistinct, and the roar slowly faded away. Su Ming wiped off the blood at the corners of his mouth. As fear lingered in his heart, he saw Immortals on the frozen land further in the distance … There was no end to them. Su Ming could sense that there were hundreds of thousands of them …
There were countless more behind them … and it was difficult to calculate just how many there were.
Su Ming remained silent and simply allowed the turtle to bring him around in all directions. Eventually, they left the frozen city, and when they arrived at a plain at the bottom of the sea, the turtle stopped and let out a few low growls.
Su Ming lowered his head and looked down. There were broken palace wreckages all over the plain, and there were even a few of them floating upwards.
Similarly, as the turtle brought Su Ming around in a huge circle, he also saw wreckages similar to this one sinking down from above. Clearly, due to a violent tremor or an accident, the wreckages in this place had loosened up, causing the broken pieces to rise and fall.
Some of them floated to the surface of the sea before sinking down again …
Su Ming could already guess that this drastic change was due to the clash between Eastern Wastelands and South Morning, which had caused the entire Dead Sea to tremble.
With a hint of melancholy and an indescribable depression, the turtle carried Su Ming on its back and swam towards his cave abode. Due to being afraid of the low growls, the turtle swam in a large circle this time. Su Ming stood on the turtle's back and saw the altar in the distance once again, along with the old man in purple robes standing on it.
'What was he looking at when the Immortals launched a large scale attack on us..?' Su Ming stared at the old man on the altar. After a long, long time, when the turtle left, he could no longer see anything.
The turtle brought Su Ming back to the mountain, where his cave abode was located.
Su Ming walked down the turtle's back and stood beside the ice mountain. His heart could not calm down even after a long time had passed. He looked at the place with a complicated expression, and after some time, he closed his eyes. When he opened them once again, calmness had returned to his eyes.
Su Ming patted the turtle's gigantic head and asked softly, "Do you want to come with me?"
The turtle hesitated, then shook its head. Su Ming looked at the turtle and no longer tried to persuade it. He turned around and walked towards the ice mountain with a resolute look on his face. He knew that this was not a place where he could delve deeper into his current self. Just what was the reason that caused this place to be sealed in ice? Just what was the reason that caused this place to be buried in the depths of the Dead Sea?
Su Ming believed that one day, he would be able to completely understand all of this. However, even though his level of cultivation was strong, it was still not enough.
The mysteriousness of this place, the strangeness of this place, as well as the fact that the turtle beast had subconsciously avoided certain places as it moved around. All of these signs clearly showed that this place … was definitely not as deathly silent as it appeared to be!
The roar that had shocked Su Ming had also added another layer of mystery to this place.
With this determination, Su Ming walked into the ice mountain and into the Relocation Gate. He turned his head back and cast a final glance at the frozen world and the words on the plate outside the ice mountain.
"Great Yu Sky Palace …" Su Ming mumbled. As the Relocation Gate shone, he disappeared into it.
When the turtle saw Su Ming disappear, it let out a few reluctant roars, then lay down on the ground and continued waiting.
