Ten years later.
Ten years was not a long time. In fact, cultivators who had lived for a long time would usually only need to meditate for a short period of time. They could squander away their time as they pleased, regardless of whether it was ten years, a hundred years, or even more.
This was something that mortals envied and yearned for. Perhaps immortality was the reason why mortals longed to become cultivators, but it was definitely not the only reason.
Besides immortality, being able to squander away time without wasting was also a reason why mortals longed to become cultivators.
To a normal mortal, ten years might not be a lifetime, but it was a reminiscence. Ten years ago, perhaps there was a person by their side. Ten years ago, perhaps they were still an ambitious teenager. Ten years ago, perhaps they did not know how to treasure it. Ten years ago, perhaps they were still happy and laughing foolishly without a care in the world.
But ten years later …
They would only look at the blue sky and white clouds, watch the sun set and rise, and sigh … that they were still a normal person.
Ten years could change mortals, but it could not change many cultivators. However, it could make a memory gradually become buried in the depths of their hearts. It was like the movements of zither strings. If there was no one playing them, they would not make a single sound.
The shock they felt ten years ago in the land of one hundred thousand stone monuments was now like this. It turned into a thought that the people in the area did not want to talk about. However, as these thoughts gathered in their eyes, they would occasionally look warily at a stone monument with Mo Su's name carved on it. It was … a stone monument that was one million feet tall!
Ten years ago, ten thousand of the one hundred thousand stone monuments had shattered, and ten thousand of the one hundred thousand cultivators had died. It had shaken the entire foreign land, and everyone was shocked. Ten years later, while that shock and shock might have been buried in the depths of their hearts, Mo Su's stone monument, the only stone monument that had survived the disaster ten years ago, had attracted far too many gazes during those ten years.
Some of those gazes belonged to Zhou Kang, some belonged to those who had chased after Su Ming, and some belonged to the other people in the area.
Perhaps they were not stubbornly waiting, or perhaps they were not too curious. However, the intensity of the calamity ten years ago had caused them to simultaneously guess that the calamity was closely related to Mo Su's stone tablet.
They were subconsciously waiting for Mo Su, who had not appeared for ten years. Perhaps at that time, they would be able to find the cause of the calamity ten years ago.
During these ten years, half of the one hundred thousand galaxies where the purple Ecang's body was had lost their boundaries and had fused together. Su Ming continued sleeping, and he showed no signs of waking up.
Another ten years passed.
The 100,000 stars had completely fused together. The next step was the fusion of the 100,000 hearts that had been dyed black.
When Su Ming fell asleep for sixty years, the people in the land of the ninety thousand stone monuments gradually became used to Su Ming's stone monuments standing tall for a long period of time. They were used to the fact that their owners had never walked out of their stone monuments. They were used to the fact that the one hundred thousand stone monuments that had originally been there for sixty years had become ninety thousand.
In fact, during the sixty years, there were thousands of newcomers who did not know about the disaster sixty years ago. The first thing they saw was the ninety thousand stone monuments, and they had always believed … that there had always been ninety thousand stone monuments in this place.
During the sixty years, the one hundred thousand galaxies in Su Ming's world fused together to form an incredibly huge galaxy. The one hundred thousand black hearts also gradually finished gathering together, and from the one hundred thousand of them … they turned into a single existence that floated in the gigantic galaxy.
However, Su Ming continued sleeping, because what followed was the fusion of the one hundred thousand Ecangs. The one hundred thousand purple Ecangs would gather together to form its gigantic body.
Another cycle of sixty years passed.
A total of one hundred and twenty years.
Ten years was like a memory, while a hundred years was like a legend. The legend was like that to mortals, but to cultivators, in this unique and monotonous land of ninety thousand stone tablets, the scene from a hundred years ago would gradually fade away as they entered the world of the stone tablets again and again, causing the stone tablets to grow, and attempting to make the stone tablets grow to a million feet tall.
Nothing had changed. Even though the one hundred thousand stone monuments had turned into ninety thousand, there was still the test of one million feet and the journey of memories in the worlds of the stone monuments.
When another sixty years passed, there were only a few people who could remember Su Ming.
However, Zhou Kang was one of them. He still could not forget Su Ming, could not forget the person who had loved silence and helped him take revenge in exchange for teaching him his experiences.
When the fourth cycle of sixty years came to an end, two hundred and forty years of the fourth cycle of sixty years flowed by. In Su Ming's world, an incredibly huge tree that towered into the sky gathered around the black heart in the gigantic galaxy.
That tree occupied most of the galaxy. It exuded an ancient air, and its entire body was purple. There was an indescribable mighty pressure coming from it. It was the only true existence in the galaxy at that moment!
If anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that there was golden light contained within the purple tree. At first glance, it might seem purple, but in truth, it was the fusion of purple and gold.
Purple was its root, and gold was its source!
At the instant the purple tree's body completely gathered together, purple light surged into the heavens. Once it illuminated the entire galaxy, its body … gradually shrank!
This was not a simple shrinkage, but a form of contraction. It was a form of rebirth that was in a state of being in a state of almost withering, but not withered. It was as if there was a life about to be born in its trunk. The birth of this life required the tree's nutrients, which was why as this life continued gathering life force, the tree shrank.
This process lasted for sixty years!
Three hundred years had passed since Su Ming fell asleep. It was enough for the people in the land with the ninety thousand stone monuments to forget the disaster in the past. It was also enough for the gazes that usually fell on Su Ming's stone monument to be reduced to … only one!
That gaze belonged to Zhou Kang. During the three hundred years, he had made his stone monument reach nine hundred thousand something feet multiple times. He had gone through multiple tests, but he had failed all of them. However, this was no longer the main focus of his life. At that moment, he had been paying attention to Su Ming's stone monument … because he wanted to see whether his deceased wife's guess in the past was correct.
Because he, who had already reached the later stage of World Plane Realm, had long since understood that while he was immersed in his memories, everything … was fake. They were all things that belonged to the past. Only … his wife's guess was real.
Su Ming was not related to him, but he was the one who had pointed out the path Su Ming took. The path Su Ming took was based on his wife's guess and conclusion in the past. Even if his wife had already died, this was the only thing that allowed Zhou Kang to last until then.
Another ten years passed.
When the 310th year was about to pass, no one in the world of the 90,000 stone tablets noticed that a change and difference had quietly existed in their world.
This change came from Su Ming's world. He opened his eyes.
In Su Ming's world was a vast galaxy. At that moment, the tree was no longer around. What existed in the galaxy was a young man with long black hair and black eyes!
His black hair reached his feet, and his face was so pale that he looked sick. However, there was a vast life force within him that could suffocate others. It was swirling about in the young man's body like a storm.
During the five hundred cycles of sixty years, Su Ming had finally completed the third step of Abyss Builders' Possession. He had turned something rotten into something miraculous and formed his clone from the Ecang tree!
This would be the first clone to Possess a life form like Ecang in the endless years of the universe. This was something that had never happened before. This clone was not within the laws of the universe. It had transcended the laws of the universe. This was … Su Ming's strongest clone.
This was Ecang's clone!
He opened his eyes.
At the instant Su Ming opened his eyes, the entire galaxy trembled as if it was submitting to him. Countless cracks appeared on it, as if with just one thought, this galaxy would crumble and shatter.
There was an endless amount of golden light in his eyes. There were also overlapping shadows of runic symbols in his right eye. That shadow replaced his pupils and exuded an indescribable awe-inspiring might. If anyone looked into his eyes, then at that instant, a loud bang would ring in their hearts and they would be torn to shreds.
Su Ming, who had mastered a tenth of Sui Chen Zi's Divine Essence and gathered together a tenth of Ecang's complete form, possessed a power that surpassed his imagination at the instant his clone was formed.
Perhaps more accurately speaking, this was no longer a cultivation base, but an instinct, an instinct to control Divine Essence.
'I don't know how strong this clone is, but I have a feeling … that I am the master of the one hundred thousand galaxies in this place.
'No matter how many existences at the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm like Zhao Family's Progenitor appear, this clone of mine can instantly wipe them off.
'Perhaps I can even fight against the ancient will in Yin Death Region! 'But this is just for now. I can sense a strong feeling that this body is like a newborn baby. It is still growing, and with each breath, it will become stronger.' As Su Ming mumbled softly to himself, the golden light in his eyes was as brilliant as the sun.
'From now on, none of the stone monuments in the world of the ninety thousand stone monuments will ever be able to reach ten million feet. Nine million feet will be their limit, because … one hundred thousand of these ten million feet will forever belong to me … alone!' A faint smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He lifted his right hand and swung it before him.
Immediately, a layer of distorted ripples appeared in the galaxy before him. Those ripples spread outwards, and after a moment, a body appeared out of thin air amid those distortions. It gradually floated towards Su Ming.
This was Su Ming's Crimson Python Phoenix clone. It was also his first physical clone who had practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole.
'Ecang clone, I cultivate Divine Essence.
Clone that practices the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole, I cultivate my physical body.
Immortals, my real self, cultivate my soul.
I still need a clone to cultivate my epiphany.
'Now, this clone of mine that practices the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole should become stronger …' Golden light shone in Su Ming's eyes, and he pointed at his clone with his right index finger.
"I am the master of the galaxy that fused with one hundred thousand galaxies. With just one thought … this body of mine will become stronger," Su Ming said softly.
At the instant he finished speaking, laws and laws appeared in the vast galaxy, and all of them gathered on Su Ming's clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole.
When Su Ming's clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole opened his eyes, waves of powerful presence erupted from his body like a rising tide.
