Boom!
Su Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood and lowered his right hand from his chest. This punch had landed on his own body, and the intense pain that came from his body caused his mind to clear up, but even so, everything around him was still there.
The entire Yu Family was empty. It was dead silent.
Su Ming did not know just how many people he had killed, and he did not know just how many people had their life force sucked away when they got close to him.
He stood on the ground, right outside Dao Avenue Mountain. There was not a single life around him, only him. The sky was gradually turning dark, but the ferocious appearance of the malicious spirit from Dao Avenue Mountain was incredibly clear.
Anguish appeared on Su Ming's face. He could not tell whether everything around him was an illusion, and he could not tell whether his current condition was real or whether everything was fake.
"As long as you believe in it, it will exist." Yu Chen Hai's warning still echoed in Su Ming's ears.
"I still haven't believed in it. Could it be that everything here is real..?" As Su Ming mumbled, a glint appeared in his eyes.
"Whether it's real or fake, I'll know once I go to the other places in Black Ink Planet and take a look!" Su Ming turned around and turned into a long arc. He was about to leave the Yu Family, which had now turned into dead silence, but right at the instant he was about to leave, his body suddenly jolted.
A powerful light shone in his eyes. His breathing quickened, and he slowly turned his head around to stare at Dao Avenue Mountain.
He remembered now. It was not that he had not believed in it since the beginning. At the instant he walked out of the palm and saw Yu Chen Hai and the five old men on the ground, he had smiled.
It might have seemed like a simple smile, but it showed the belief in Su Ming's heart at that moment.
When he saw Yu Chen Hai and the others, he thought that he had already cleared the first gate.
The mistake had appeared at that moment, and it was precisely because he believed in it that everything changed.
Su Ming fell silent. After a long while, he sucked in a deep breath and landed on the ground once again. When he sat down, a dark glare appeared in his eyes.
'What a powerful illusion. No wonder there are so few people who can clear it even though the members of the Yu Family know the secret of this illusion. ' Su Ming slowly closed his eyes. At the instant he did so, he lifted his right hand. The Abyss Builders' Art of Time had gathered on it, and he was about to tap the center of his brows. Once he did so, the power of time would flow in reverse, and it would immediately spread through Su Ming's body.
At that time, he would be able to change the flow of time, and everything would return to how it was before the anomaly.
'Let's see whether your people's illusions are stronger or the Abyss Builders' divine abilities are stronger! 'At the instant Su Ming's right finger was about to touch the center of his brows, his finger suddenly froze.
Su Ming opened his eyes, and a brilliant light shone in them.
"That's not right …" He was silent for a long time, and then lowered his finger.
"If I use the Netherworld Builder's Art of Time to fight against it, it means that I already believe that all of this is an illusion. Whether it's an illusion or reality, as long as I believe it, it will exist.
"There are many ways to interpret this sentence …" Su Ming mumbled softly to himself. After a moment, he no longer used any other methods and only sat down quietly. Once he closed his eyes, he let his heart sink into a state of calmness.
Miserable screams gradually reached his ears, but he did not open his eyes.
Once the screams reached his ears, an endless amount of pleading reached his ears, but he still did not open his eyes.
Time passed by, and Su Ming still had his eyes closed. No matter what he heard, his heart did not move, and in the midst of his calmness, he did not think about anything.
"Su Ming …" A faint voice traveled into his ears. It was Bai Ling's voice. Su Ming shuddered. He looked as if he was about to open his eyes, but after a moment, he calmed down.
"Su Ming … you've grown up …" At the instant the elder's voice reached his ears, Su Ming fell silent.
"Are you … my child..? Are you the baby I held in my arms in the past..?" A woman's voice traveled into his ears, and with a tone that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Su Ming, it traveled into his ears.
"Su Ming, I'm Lei Chen. Why are you sitting here? Aren't we going to the mountains to gather herbs?" That was Lei Chen's voice.
"My disciple, I'll show you what the sky is and what the earth is!" That was Tian Xie Zi's voice.
After that, second senior brother, eldest senior brother, Hu Zi, and all the other people in Su Ming's memories continued traveling into his ears.
Then, Su Ming opened his eyes.
At the instant he did so, he saw many people, many scenes, and many things from the past that he could no longer see.
He watched them quietly and simply allowed his old friends and the scenes to continue playing out before his eyes. Time continued to pass, and he did not know how much time had passed.
"As long as I believe in it, it will exist."
"I don't believe in it." Su Ming stood up and walked forward. The old friends he ran into disappeared one by one, and the color on the ground gradually faded away.
The ground tumbled behind him, and the layers of the earth tumbled about as if it was shedding its skin. Once it dissipated, the ground returned to the size of a palm.
His old friends and the scenes called out to him from behind, but as Su Ming walked into the distance, they slowly turned into nothingness. When Su Ming walked far into the distance, the sky was still vast, and the ground was still the size of a palm.
Su Ming's hair danced in the air, and with the calmness in his heart and an indifferent air about him, he walked forward. The sky gradually darkened, but in that darkness, a bright entrance appeared before him. When he got closer and walked out, the darkness was no longer there. He saw the bright sky, the square of the Yu Family, Yu Chen Hai, the five old men, hundreds of people, and a middle-aged man standing right in front of them.
All the members of the Yu Family in the field saw Su Ming. At the instant they saw him, buzzing sounds instantly rose into the air. It had been a long time since anyone in the Yu Family, be it the members of the family or the guests, had successfully cleared the first gate!
Yet now, they had personally witnessed one success. They also saw the bat in the palm of the malicious spirit from Dao Avenue Mountain shining with a powerful light at the instant Su Ming walked out. As that light spread in all directions, it formed a haze.
"Fellow Daoist, congratulations for clearing the first gate of the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao!" The middle-aged Third Sect Elder in the crowd smiled and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming.
By his side, Yu Chen Hai looked at Su Ming excitedly. The hope and excitement in his eyes were difficult to describe. He knew that at the instant Su Ming walked out of the first gate, his status in the family had risen by a large margin.
As the light from the bat spread out, more people rushed towards the Yu Family from all directions. To the entire Yu Family, this was an incredibly important matter.
Su Ming walked out of Dao Avenue Mountain and looked at the crowd beneath him. With a calm expression, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards the middle-aged man.
He did not speak, because at the instant he walked out, the bat in the malicious spirit's palm shone with an endless amount of light, and booming sounds immediately rang out in the sky above Dao Avenue Mountain.
Those booming sounds spread through the entire Yu Family. As they reverberated in the air, a large area of distortions appeared in the sky, and two gigantic mountains manifested in the distorted sky.
Instead of saying that they were two mountains, it would be more accurate to say that they were two gigantic statues. One of them was entirely black and had a ferocious expression on its face. When it lifted its right hand, there was a red sun in the air.
The other statue shone with a fluorescent light. Its expression was rather indifferent, and it looked like a woman. There was a bright moon in her right hand, and it was shining with a gentle light that illuminated the ground.
"Sun and Moon Shine Together!"
"I've finally seen the Sun and Moon Shine Together! This is the second gate of the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao, and it will only appear after we clear the first gate."
"Since ancient times, this gate has only appeared a few times. This is the first time I've been fortunate enough to see it."
"The Sun and Moon Shine Together is even stronger than Dao Avenue Mountain. I wonder whether this guest will be able to clear this gate!"
Buzzing and uproar rose in the field. As the mountain appeared, the members of the Yu Family rushed over from all directions. Even quite a large number of those who had not been interested previously had come.
There was also a long arc that brought with it a domineering air that could not be described with words. It instantly arrived from the distance with a bang and turned into an old man with crimson hair. He stood beside Third Sect Elder.
At the instant he arrived, the hearts of all the family members in the area trembled, as if his arrival could make the ground tremble.
"Greetings, Second Sect Elder!" All the family members besides Third Sect Elder bowed respectfully towards the old man with crimson hair.
Yu Chen Hai's expression became even more excited, and he worshiped the old man as well.
As for the five old men who had previously made things difficult for Su Ming, their faces were as pale as ash at that moment, and all of them were filled with respect.
"Who recruited him as a guest?" The old man with crimson hair did not care about the people around him worshiping him. He looked at Su Ming, who stood beyond Dao Avenue Mountain, and his eyes were bright as he asked languidly.
"He was recruited by this boy from Yu Haze's bloodline." Third Sect Elder smiled faintly by his side and cast a glance at the excited Yu Chen Hai.
The old man with crimson hair turned his head around to look at Yu Chen Hai, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. Once he nodded, he wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming, who had his head lifted to look at the statues of the Sun and Moon Shine Together in the sky.
"Fellow Daoist guest, if you can clear the first gate, then from now on, you will be a guest of the Yu Family. You can ask for anything you want. We of the Yu Family have always valued our guests highly.
"If you can clear the second gate, then you will be a guest elder of the Yu Family. You will have an incomparably noble status, and you will have the same status as the three of us!"
When he said those words, the two statues of the Sun and Moon Shine Together shone with a light that reached one hundred thousand feet. A loud booming sound drowned out all other sounds. When it spread in all directions, Su Ming lifted his foot and walked towards the statue of the Sun and Moon Shine Together.
He could choose not to challenge the second gate, but Su Ming had his own ambitions. When he was in the first gate, he had already sensed the strange power contained within.
The strength of that power was a strange power Su Ming had never seen before. As long as he believed in it, it would exist.
This was an illusion, but it was also not an illusion. Su Ming wanted to understand the trajectory of that power. In fact, he wanted to control that power and fuse it into his Illusion of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Once he could do it, then his Illusion of the Sun, Moon, and Stars would become incredibly powerful.
