Yu Chen Hai's heart had originally been gloomy, but once Su Ming cast him a glance, it was as if everything before his eyes had instantly disappeared, and only Su Ming's eyes remained.
That eye contained the sun, the moon, and the stars. The sun, the moon, and the stars gradually expanded endlessly in Yu Chen Hai's eyes until they replaced his world. It made Yu Chen Hai feel as if he was in a galaxy. In the vast galaxy, his existence was as insignificant as an ant. It was as if compared to this galaxy, all of his troubles were insignificant and could not be considered as troubles.
Furthermore, in this starry sky formed by the sun, moon, and stars, he could feel snow falling. The entire starry sky was filled with snowflakes, giving off a hazy and surreal feeling. However, when the snowflakes landed on his body, they gave off a coldness that made him feel as if he had been placed in an ancient, frigid kiln. His body and mind instantly felt cold. It wasn't a bone-piercing cold, but it was enough to freeze his body from the inside out, and even his soul.
It calmed everyone's hearts, and it also made Yu Chen Hai suck in a sharp breath. He instinctively took a few steps back, and when he looked towards Su Ming again, he had already closed his eyes.
This caused Yu Chen Hai to be unable to tell whether he had recovered because Su Ming had closed his eyes or because he had broken free. Even though that feeling just now had disappeared without a trace, Yu Chen Hai believed that what he had sensed previously was definitely not wrong. There was definitely something extraordinary about this Su Ming, or else it would be impossible for him to make him lose his composure with just one glance.
He even felt as if his soul had been separated from his body at that moment. If the other party had wanted to harm him, he would have been unable to resist and would have been at the mercy of the other party.
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Chen Hai's forehead. When he looked towards Su Ming, a hint of wariness rose in his heart. As he wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming, he spoke in a low voice.
"Chen Hai lost his composure. Thank you for waking me up, Brother Su." Yu Chen Hai might have been polite to Su Ming previously, but within that politeness was the attitude of someone in the same generation as him. However, as he spoke, even he himself did not notice that he had clearly lowered his attitude towards Su Ming.
Sometimes, there was no need to make a move to display one's strength. Just a glance or a simple sentence was enough to gain the respect of others.
"Sit." When Su Ming asked flatly, Yu Chen Hai sucked in a deep breath and sat down cross-legged in front of Su Ming. In his eyes, the current Su Ming was completely different. His calmness and the feeling that he would not be affected even if the sky fell and the earth cracked in front of him was incredibly strong for Yu Chen Hai.
"Brother Su, I must have made a fool of myself. The promise I made to you previously was questioned by the other elders in the family, and they wanted to send you through the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao test. Even among the true guests in the family, only a few of them can pass this test.
"And they will definitely not let you pass. If it was not because most of the people in my ancestor's bloodline do not care about the affairs of the world and venture out into Divine Essence Star Ocean, they would definitely not dare to oppress you so directly. Their unfairness has made me angry," Yu Chen Hai explained with a wry smile.
At that moment, the sky was filled with dark clouds. Muffled thunder rumbled in the air, and bean-sized raindrops poured down. When they landed on the ground, they stirred up a cloud of dust, but before the cloud of dust could rise into the air, it was immediately slapped back into the mortal world, until not a single speck of dust dared to rise in the world.
Su Ming did not speak. He looked at the dust, at the rain falling mercilessly on the ground, and at the destruction of the cloud of dust. After some time, his gaze fell on Yu Chen Hai.
"What is fair, and what is unfair?" Su Ming asked calmly.
"This is …" Yu Chen Hai was stunned.
"Mountains are not equal, the ground is not equal, all lives are not equal, rivers are not equal, stars rise and fall, and in fact, even the galaxy does not exist as equals. Why would you want to obtain fairness?
"Fairness has never existed in this world. This so-called fairness is just a form of pity the strong show towards the weak. It is a form of pity for the weak when they lament and resent themselves," Su Ming said flatly. Once the last sentence fell into Yu Chen Hai's ears, it immediately caused his heart to tremble. This sort of theory and these sorts of words overturned his thoughts slightly, forming a wave of impact that caused his breathing to quicken slightly.
"Look at that cloud of dust. The fog is like life, and the might of heaven is like life. It is unpredictable and unpredictable. When it falls on the ground, the dust will first fly into the air before it falls back to the mortal world.
Is this fair? "Su Ming asked flatly.
Yu Chen Hai was momentarily stunned. He turned his head around and cast a glance at the rain falling on the ground. After remaining silent for a moment, an epiphany appeared in his eyes.
There were a few black dots in the horizon in the distance. They were swallows that did not manage to avoid the rain in time. They struggled in the curtain of rain, and due to their wet wings, it was incredibly difficult for them to fly. They swayed as if they were about to fall.
One of the swallows struggled to fly out of the courtyard. Just as it was about to fall, Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung it forward. Immediately, the swallow shuddered, and its feathers were no longer wet. It was as if there was an empty space around its body, causing the rain to disappear as well, allowing its falling body to draw a beautiful arc in the rain once again before it landed under the eaves of the building in Su Ming's courtyard.
"This swallow wants to avoid the rain, but the rain is like a line, and it cannot fight back. Is this fair?" When Su Ming asked calmly, Yu Chen Hai fell silent.
"I helped it so that it could avoid falling from the rain and hide under the eaves while the other swallows did not have this serendipity. Is this fair?" Su Ming looked towards Yu Chen Hai.
"Brother Su, are you saying that I am the dust fog and the elders in my family are the rain of the might of heaven, and that it is unfair to me if I fall when the rain falls on me?
"And this swallow in the rain is also a fight between us in the Yu Family … Brother Su, please tell me what you mean." After a moment, Yu Chen Hai hesitated for a moment. He could not quite understand what Su Ming was thinking. He might have gained some sort of understanding in his heart, but it was not clear.
Su Ming's expression was indifferent. He did not answer Yu Chen Hai's question, but instead lifted his right hand and seized the air in the direction of the eaves. Immediately, the swallow he had been protecting just now was brought over against its will. He caught it in his hand. The swallow did not dare struggle, but it was shuddering.
"I helped it and not the other swallows because it was the closest to me, and because … I took a fancy to this feather on its body." Su Ming picked up a feather from the swallow's body with his left hand and gave it a light tug. In fact, there was even a hint of blood at the tip of the feather.
He let go of his right hand, and the swallow immediately flew back to the eaves while shuddering nonstop.
Su Ming looked at the feather in his left hand and brought it to Yu Chen Hai. His expression remained the same, and not a hint of emotion could be seen on his face. He seemed to be cold, but also gentle. When this scene fell into Yu Chen Hai's eyes, his heart trembled. He could sense a malicious and enchanting aura from Su Ming that chilled him.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, do you … need my help?" Su Ming smiled faintly and placed the feather before Yu Chen Hai. However, his smile made Yu Chen Hai fall silent, but after a moment, he gritted his teeth and took the feather before bowing towards Su Ming.
"Fellow Daoist, if you can help me become the center of attention in this auction, then I am willing to be that swallow. As long as you need anything, I will do my best to fulfill it."
As Su Ming smiled, he stood up, patted his robes, and walked towards the door of the courtyard.
"Fairness does not exist in the universe. The only things that exist are transactions that are fair. "Let's go. Since they want to take the test, then let's take the test."
…..
"The Three Gates of Heavenly Dao did not come from the four Great True Worlds, and neither did it come from Sinful Barren Lands. Instead, it came from an alien race in Divine Essence Star Ocean known as the Gate of Dao.
"It is said that this is a divine ability unique to this race. It can create endless illusions, and the main point of this Art is that if you believe in it, then it will exist.
"I don't know the details, but the Art and the materials used to cast it were obtained by a senior in my family by chance in Divine Essence Star Ocean. They have studied it for many years, and only a little bit of it can be activated." This is the test for the guests of the Yu Family to be promoted to guest elders.
"As long as they pass, even if they only pass one Gate, they can become guest elders of the Yu Family. From what I remember, there were only five guests who passed this test.
"And among these five, four of them only passed the First Gate of Heavenly Dao. Only one of them passed the Second Gate. There has never been a guest who managed to pass the third Gate.
"The Three Gates of Heavenly Dao is something all members of the Yu Family have to go through once they reach a certain level of cultivation. However, over the course of countless years, only eleven members of the Yu Family have managed to pass the first and second Gates with varying degrees of success. Among them, only Progenitor Yu Ci eight thousand years ago was the only one who managed to pass the third Gate."
Towers rose and fell everywhere. Amidst the sea of clouds and the veil of rain, Su Ming walked in front. Yu Chen Hai guided him by the side and introduced the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao to him. However, he was still worried, but he was much better than before.
He had originally thought that Su Ming would not accept the test for the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao, and even if he did, it would be practically impossible for him to succeed. After all, only five of the many guests had succeeded over the course of countless years.
The five of them did not concern themselves with the affairs of the world, and spent most of their time in secluded meditation. Even the vassals who were relatively active in the clan... had never succeeded in the Three Gates of Dao, and were unable to become vassals or Elders. They could only exist as vassals. Even though they were divided into various ranks, vassals and Elders could not compare in terms of power and resources.
To Yu Chen Hai, the request from the elders of the branch family was a blatant form of suppression, but he could not accept it. That was why when he went to Su Ming's place, most of his anger and sullenness had been intentional. His goal was to think of a way to provoke Su Ming into giving it a try. In fact, he had even prepared a series of excuses for his actions.
However, he did not expect that with just one sentence and one gaze, Su Ming would cause his heart to tremble, and everything would seem to have changed. Even though Su Ming had agreed to participate in the test and this was in line with his previous goals, the change in the process had caused Yu Chen Hai to feel as if he had been forced into a passive position.
It was especially so when he remembered the ghost of a smile on Su Ming's face when he plucked off the swallow's feather. That indescribable malevolent air caused Yu Chen Hai's heart to waver. He did not know whether it was right … or wrong for him to bring Su Ming into the Yu Family to recruit him.
As these complicated thoughts filled his heart, Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. Yu Chen Hai immediately put away his pensive thoughts, and without his knowledge, he had already brought Su Ming to an incredibly large field among the many buildings.
Almost at the instant the two of them arrived, the field distorted, as if the universe had been overturned and the mountains and rivers had changed. In an instant, the buildings around them disappeared, and the field also disappeared without a trace. What appeared before the two of them was a towering mountain.
That mountain towered into the air, but it did not seem like a mountain. Instead, it looked like a gigantic statue. The top of the mountain was a head, and its long hair fell down. It looked like a ferocious, malicious spirit. The mountain was its body, and as it stood by its side, it lifted its right hand. There was a gigantic bat that could not fly out of its palm!
From the distance, it looked as if there was a giant behind them with its head peering down from the top of the mountain. Half of its body was revealed by the side of the mountain. In fact, because of that, the color of the mountain and the white of the sky were no different. At first glance … it looked as if the mountain and the sky had become one, giving people a feeling that when they looked at the mountain, it looked like the sky, and when they looked at the sky, it looked like the mountain. It was as if the mountain was there, but also as if it was not there. The only thing that existed was the gigantic, ferocious, malicious spirit with its side turned.
"This is … Dao Avenue Mountain." At the instant Yu Chen Hai said those words in a low voice, waves of divine thoughts shot out from the mountain in an incredibly domineering manner. Without any hesitation, they brought with them an awe-inspiring pressure that came crashing down on Su Ming.
"Foreign cultivator, it is your serendipity to be able to see Dao Avenue Mountain. Kneel down and worship it three times!"
Su Ming lifted his head, and a freezing glare shone in his eyes.
It was raining in Hangzhou, and it was the same as his mood … In truth, he was not used to writing outside. It was not as fast as writing at home, and it was not comfortable either. When he saw the stimulation Pangu Alliance needed in the book review section …
In truth, he wanted to stimulate everyone from the bottom of his heart, but he did not have the strength to do so. After all, there was no one who could not get along with crystals, right? Why don't we discuss this and start from the third …
