"You!" The eyes of the woman in the two-story building went wide at that moment, and disbelief appeared in her eyes. She stood up, and with a single move, she appeared outside the building.
She looked at Su Ming, and the shock in her eyes could not be hidden. She had not expected that the person who had completely defeated her would truly be this boy called Chen Su!
After all, she had personally attacked a few months ago to see whether this boy was related to Zhao Chong's death, but what she had found was that there was no connection. This boy was incredibly normal, and his potential was also normal. There was not a single ripple of power within his body.
But now … when this young man stood in front of her, she suddenly came to a realization. A few months ago, she had already failed in front of this young man …
Yet she still could not believe that this was real. She had also thought about the identity of the person who had Branded his voice in her heart. To her, there was a high possibility that it was some old monster or someone she was familiar with in the sect who had intentionally changed his voice.
She had thought of many people, but Chen Su was the only one she had not cast a single glance at. This was a person who had completely exceeded her imagination!
At that moment, she was looking at Su Ming in a daze. She saw that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the ancient and calm look on his face. His words and his actions were definitely not something a boy could do.
"Who … are you?!" The woman's breathing quickened. After some time, she recovered and looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression.
"Chen Su," Su Ming said slowly.
"You killed Zhao Chong!" The woman's expression became even more complicated.
Su Ming smiled faintly. He did not accept it, but neither did he deny it.
As Su Ming did not speak, the woman also fell silent, causing the area to instantly become much quieter. Only the faint sound of wind could be heard echoing in the air. After a long while, the woman smiled wryly and bowed respectfully towards Su Ming.
"Greetings, Master …"
"What is your name?" Su Ming asked calmly.
"Bao Qiu …" The young girl sighed inwardly. After answering, her appearance gradually changed, and she finally turned into the old woman from before. She did not need to probe anything anymore. Every time the other party asked a question, the feeling that she could not refuse and that she had to tell the truth came from the depths of her soul. It made her understand that the person who fought with her yesterday was none other than Chen Su, who was in front of her.
"Bao Qiu, I won't imprison you for the rest of your life …" Su Ming looked at the old woman. Not a single hint of emotion could be seen on his face, as if it did not matter whether the person before him was an old woman or a beautiful girl. To him, it was all the same.
"The power of the world here is thick. I want to use this place to heal my wounds. In a few years, once I leave, I will return you your freedom!" As Su Ming spoke, he no longer bothered with the girl and walked towards the tower.
"I am now a laborer at the foot of Evil Spirit Mountain, but I will be staying at your place for a long period of time. Go and handle this." Su Ming walked into the tower and ordered.
Bao Qiu remained silent for a moment before she nodded. This was an incredibly simple matter for her. She only needed to say that she needed Chen Su to be her laborer, and no one would suspect anything.
Su Ming stood at the first floor of the tower and looked at the lotus platform before him as well as the woman's statue on it. As he looked at it, the illusions he had seen previously appeared in his head, and in the end, he shook his head. Su Ming walked up to the second floor of the tower. This was clearly a woman's room, and it was filled with a faint fragrance. Su Ming sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in meditation.
As he circulated his cultivation base, the thick power of the world around him immediately gathered towards him and surrounded him. He slowly absorbed it, and as it nourished his wounds, he also started walking down the path of recovering to the peak of his cultivation base.
Days passed by. Bao Qiu handled the matter of Su Ming being a laborer at the foot of Evil Spirit Mountain, and no one paid any attention to him. They only knew that Lady Bao Qiu from Conscience Interrogation Hall had asked for a laborer. No one paid too much attention to this sort of trivial matter.
Only Qian Chen would occasionally sigh in his heart.
As time passed by, winter gradually passed by. The results for both the Outer Sect and Inner Sect Evil Spirit Sect's competition had long since come to an end.
They started preparing and training for the next year's competition.
Su Ming's place was quiet, which was a rare sight. No one came to disturb him, and he could train in peace. There were also people guarding him outside. Besides this, as long as Su Ming made a request for medicinal cores and herbs, Bao Qiu would be forced to fulfill it, even though her heart was filled with endless anguish.
Gradually, as the months passed by, and when the rainy season arrived, Bao Qiu discovered something that shocked her to her very core.
She could clearly remember that half a year ago, with her power in the middle stage of the Berserker Soul Realm, she had not sensed any danger from Su Ming, even though she could not see the ripples of his power. It was as if he was a puddle of clear water.
However, as half a year passed by, the feeling Su Ming gave her was indeed very different from before. He might still be meditating calmly and she might not be able to tell his level of cultivation, but at the instant he would occasionally open his eyes, Bao Qiu's heart would tremble. Her entire body would turn cold, and she would feel as if she was standing right in front of death. It was as if even without the Brand in her soul, with just one thought from him, she would crumble before him.
This feeling would only appear for an instant, and it would only appear at the instant Su Ming woke up after he meditated for a long period of time. However, this feeling that caused Bao Qiu to tremble was like a fog that she could not see through, and it enveloped Bao Qiu's heart.
This was not the first time she had tried to guess just what level the boy before her would reach once he completely recovered his power … In fact, she could not even tell whether he was an Immortal, a Berserker, or a cultivator who had changed his blood inheritance … As time passed and that illusion appeared, a deep sense of respect rose within her. This respect was even comparable to the respect she had when she faced Evil Spirit Sect's Grand Sect Elder.
During the past half a year, besides making requests, Su Ming did not say anything else. He placed all his attention on healing and recovering. The power of the world in this place had also surged towards him at a maddening pace, as if this place had turned into a gigantic void that was absorbing all the power of the world in Evil Spirit Sect.
If this had been any other place, it would have been impossible for Su Ming to last for so long, because the powerful warriors from Evil Spirit Sect would have come a long time ago. However, he did not have to worry about that in this place. Even if someone came to ask him about it, Bao Qiu would just say that she was going into isolation, and she would be able to stop them and dispel their doubts.
During the past half a year, Su Ming's cultivation base recovered incredibly quickly, and with the medicinal cores Bao Qiu gave him, his cultivation base had already recovered to eight-tenths!
At eight-tenths, he already possessed the right to fight against those who had attained great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm. In fact, once his cultivation base reached eight-tenths, Su Ming discovered to his shock that he was already at the peak of his power when he fought against Di Tian all those years ago!
Yet now, his peak in the past was only eight-tenths of his current power. This clear increase in his power made Su Ming even more excited.
At the same time, Su Ming was rather satisfied with Bao Qiu. She listened to everything he said and did not disturb him when he was in isolation. Instead, she stayed in the first layer.
During the past half a year, Su Ming had long since been able to tell that Bao Qiu was different from Zhao Chong. This woman was not a Berserker who had changed her blood inheritance. She had never been a Berserker to begin with, but had come from the land of Immortals!
'In at most two more years, I will be able to reach a peak that I have never reached before … With my power at that peak, I will try to reach the Berserker Soul Realm and form my own statue of the God of Berserkers. Then, there is a high possibility that I will be able to move past the initial and middle stages of the Berserker Soul Realm and reach the later stage. In fact, it might even be possible for me to reach great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm …
'Then, I will take that step towards Life Cultivation and become a Life Cultivator in the world! ' Su Ming sucked in a deep breath. During the past half a year, he had swallowed far too many medicinal cores, and all of them had come from Bao Qiu.
At that moment, just as he was about to close his eyes and immerse himself in meditation, his gaze suddenly fell on the stairs. Before long, the sound of footsteps reached his ears. Bao Qiu did not change into the appearance of an old woman, which was a rare sight. Instead, she maintained the appearance of a young girl and walked over slowly, placing two medicinal pill bottles before Su Ming.
A hesitant look appeared on her face, as if she wanted to say something, but as she hesitated, Su Ming had already closed his eyes. She turned around quietly, but just as she was about to leave, Su Ming's voice came from behind her.
"What's the matter? Speak."
Bao Qiu's footsteps faltered and she turned around to look at Su Ming.
"I want to keep some pills for myself …"
Su Ming opened his eyes and looked at her.
"The Berserkers' Disaster will arrive in three months. At that time, everyone in the sect will be in danger, and we won't be able to help them. We can only rely on ourselves to get through it … If we succeed, we can stay in the land of Berserkers for another fifty years, but if we fail … our existences will be wiped off.
I've been cultivating for the past few years and have accumulated a lot of pills. Originally, I was going to use this half a year to refine a clone to replace my death … But now that I can't refine a clone, I'm going to use these last three months to consolidate my cultivation and give it my all …
"At that time, Evil Immortal Sect will send out the celestial maidens to help us fight against the Berserkers' Disaster, but even with the celestial maidens around, it's not completely foolproof. The risk is great. I hope that you will agree to it, master."
Su Ming narrowed his eyes.
"Berserkers' Disaster? Celestial Maiden? "
Bao Qiu was momentarily stunned. Once she cast Su Ming a glance, a strange light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"You are a barbarian!" Bao Qiu's heart raced a few times. When she looked at Su Ming, the shock in her heart grew. She had always been suspicious about Su Ming's arrival, and only at this moment was she able to somewhat confirm her suspicions.
"You might not know this, but there is a disaster waiting for the Immortals who descend in the land of Berserkers and the Berserkers who have changed their blood inheritance. That disaster is the Berserkers' Sacred Vessel!
"Originally, as long as the Immortals in Eastern Wastelands show power that surpasses the limit, the Berserkers' Sacred Vessel will appear … But with Sir Ji An's divine ability, he changed the pattern of the Berserkers' Sacred Vessel's appearance, causing it to descend once every fifty years. It will last for an entire day, and it will kill all those who reveal the presence of the Immortals on that day.
"And Sir Ji An, the Paragon of Evil Sect, has given an order that on that day, all those who descend must reveal their power and make the Berserkers' Sacred Vessel descend. This is a brutal trial for us!" "If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation."
