Perhaps during normal times, there was only one type of light.
Yet at that moment, there were two types of light in Su Ming's eyes. One of them was the domineering nature of the strong light, and the other was the gentleness of the weak light.
The brilliant light from the statues of the sun and moon illuminated the entire chamber, causing every single spot in the room to be covered in light. The domineering and gentle light did not intersect with each other. Instead, with Su Ming as the center, the light divided the room into two semicircles.
One side was incredibly domineering, and the other was as gentle as water.
Even Su Ming's closed eyes shone with two different colors, causing his body to look as if it had been split apart at that instant. With the tip of his nose as the center, his body turned into two different types of strong and dark light.
Su Ming had his palms turned upwards and placed on his knees. Dao Avenue Mountain in his right hand gradually started giving off a feeling as if it had come to life in the light. The malicious spirit became even more ferocious, and the bat on its claws let out roars.
After a moment, the malicious spirit on Dao Avenue Mountain lifted its head. As its body distorted, it floated up from Dao Avenue Mountain. Its body was like fog as it surrounded Su Ming. It swam between the strong light and the weak light, making it look incredibly bizarre.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. He still had his eyes closed. Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here on his left hand let out a booming sound at that moment. As it slowly disintegrated, it turned into the illusory shadow of an elephant and a scale that swam about with the malicious spirit.
"The power that will exist as long as you believe in it, appear!" Su Ming opened his eyes swiftly. The brilliant light in his eyes instantly gave him the illusion that he wanted to fuse with the strong and weak light in the chamber and become the third type of light in the place.
At the instant he opened his eyes, the malicious spirit on Dao Avenue Mountain lifted its head and let out a roar towards the sky. As it roared, it lifted its left hand and grabbed the scale that was also swam about by its side.
The scale was in his hand, and at that moment, it was as if the malicious spirit had transformed into the person weighing the scale. At the same time he picked it up, Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here turned into a long arc and naturally appeared on the scale.
All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but the entire process was completed in the span of a few breaths. The malicious spirit's expression was no longer ferocious. Instead, a hint of awe-inspiring might appeared on its face, and it seized the bat with its right hand before hanging it on the scale.
At the instant it completed this action, a picture of a malicious spirit weighing an elephant appeared before Su Ming!
That bat was none other than Steel!
Everything was perfect, so perfect that Su Ming could not find a single flaw. It was as if everything was supposed to be like this.
"Elephants have two bodies. One is the body of real aether, and the other is the illusion of emptiness!" A vague voice came from the mouth of the malicious ghost.
"The reality of weighing an elephant is like the venerable of the Dao, not the ability of an Antecedental Spirit. Measuring the emptiness of an image, like an illusion, can be measured … This image has three breaths! "
The scene of the malicious spirit weighing the elephant lasted for about the span of three breaths before Su Ming before it turned into two long arcs that charged towards his eyes. The malicious spirit and the bat instantly crawled into Su Ming's left eye and disappeared without a trace.
Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here and the scale entered Su Ming's right eye before disappearing in a flash.
Su Ming shuddered.
"Trust me …" As Su Ming mumbled, his eyes became cloudy. He could clearly sense the power contained in his eyes at that moment, because that power was in the form of a powerful voice in his head at that moment.
That voice contained a supreme, awe-inspiring might, and it sounded like a roar. That voice continued echoing in the air, but Su Ming did not sense any danger. This was not some sort of spirit that was preparing to Possess him. It was a voice that seemed to have been left behind in the passage of time for an unknown number of years.
That voice could not be heard during normal times. It would only appear when the light from the statues of the sun and moon, when the malicious spirit and Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here belonged to the same person at the same time, and with the power of Divine Essence pushing it forward, the picture of the malicious spirit weighing the elephant would appear.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the picture of the malicious spirit weighing the elephant was the core of the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao, and the strange power within the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao that Su Ming desired … was hidden within the picture of the malicious spirit weighing the elephant … those three words!
"Trust me …" That voice continued echoing in the air, causing Su Ming to feel as if he was obsessed with it.
An illusory picture was used to store a voice, and the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao was used to conceal that picture. That voice and those three words were the core, the source of that strange power.
"I didn't expect that the power that made me so obsessed … would be derived from that one sentence." Dark light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he looked incredibly strange and enchanting. His mumbling voice also seemed to have an ethereal air to it.
'The ancient air about those words … and with just one sentence, they were able to gather up such a powerful power. It's definitely not … something that the Sun God and Moon God could do!
'Perhaps the origins of the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao are even older than the Sun God and Moon God. Perhaps more accurately speaking … this is a treasure left behind by an existence that is even older than the Sun God and Moon God!' Su Ming's heart raced a few times. With a dark light in his eyes, he slowly unclenched his hands on his knees and tried to clench them.
'I need to understand this power. Yu Family's Progenitor managed to gain some understanding from it, that's why he could execute this power slightly … I can sense that if I can clench both hands and absorb the strong and weak light around me into my body, then … I will succeed.'
As Su Ming slowly clenched his hands into fists, the light in the chamber started distorting viciously, as if it had turned into rays of light. These rays of light were rapidly gathering towards Su Ming's hands from all directions.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, a day passed.
During that day, Su Ming did not even blink. The dark light in his eyes grew stronger, and the edges of the chamber had already turned from the previous light to darkness.
The chamber was incredibly bizarre, as if light had been limited to a certain area, and it was a clear contrast to the darkness around it. It was as if there was a boundary separating them.
Su Ming's face flashed with light and darkness, and an endless amount of blood capillaries could be seen in the dark light in his eyes. His body might have seemed calm, but there was a storm raging in the depths of his heart. The voice continued, echoing in his mind time and time again, roaring and roaring in Su Ming's heart.
In the beginning, the voice would only appear again after a long while, but now, the voice seemed to have connected with each other in Su Ming's mind, and it continued echoing in his head.
"Trust me … Trust me … Trust me …"
There was no hint of emotion in that ancient voice. It had already replaced Su Ming's thoughts and consciousness. It was as if his body had become empty at that moment. Only that one sentence continued spreading out.
All of this might seem dangerous, but in truth, Su Ming knew that it was not high. His guard had never been down in the slightest. This was an epiphany, an epiphany he had obtained from the voice left behind in ancient times.
If he succeeded, then he could obtain the power contained in that sentence, but if he failed, then he would just fail.
Another day passed by. Su Ming had already been meditating in the chamber for two days. The voice in his head seemed to have an endless amount of echoes, and it was slowly gathering together once again from its scattered state.
When the third day passed, the voice in Su Ming's head finally finished spreading out and gathering together once again, turning into a single sentence.
"Trust me …"
In Su Ming's ears, this sentence seemed to be different from all the words he had heard before. He might not be able to tell what exactly was different, but at the instant his voice echoed in the air, a loud bang rang out in his head.
In the midst of that bang, his consciousness instantly distorted, as if his soul had been forcefully dragged into a strange world by that sentence.
It was a shattered sky. The sky was dark blue, and it was rapidly crumbling. Loud booming sounds reverberated in the air, and pillars of light could be seen shooting through the sky with piercing whistles. Wherever they went, space would shatter, and the sky would disintegrate.
Once the pillars of light landed on the ground, they immediately formed ring-shaped waves of impact that swept through the area, shattering the ground layer by layer.
It was as if the apocalypse had arrived, and the world was being destroyed.
"Trust me …" At that moment, a great voice suddenly came from the ground. Su Ming looked over and immediately saw a person standing on a mountain that was shattering and rising and falling like waves on the ground!
It was a young man dressed in blue robes with a head full of white hair. He looked incredibly normal, so normal that there was nothing special about him, but there was a thick, ancient air about him.
It was as if he had gone through far too many things in his life, causing him to possess an impact that could not be described with words, but was something that would be unforgettable to anyone who saw him for the rest of their lives.
He placed his hands behind his back and stood at the top of the mountain. There was grief in his eyes, and his robes fluttered in the wind. His white hair danced in the wind, and he looked as if he was looking at the sky. His voice echoed in the air.
"Trust me …"
Su Ming's heart trembled. He looked at the man, and also saw an innumerable number of living beings kneeling on the crumbling ground before him. These living beings were trembling, a clear sign that they were afraid of the world collapsing, but none of them got up to flee.
They stared at the white-haired man, as if his words were a form of faith to them, a form of supreme reverence.
"Someone once told me, 'Those who believe in me, the world will decay, but I will not perish. The world will be destroyed, but I will not perish … Today, I will tell you …
Trust me … "
Su Ming's heart trembled. Everything before his eyes shattered at that moment, turning into an endless amount of shards. As those shards danced in the air, they slowly disappeared.
Su Ming "opened" his eyes. Perhaps more accurately speaking, he had his eyes open to begin with, but this time, he opened his soul.
He was still in the chamber, and everything around him was dark … Only his hands were illuminated. In his left hand was a sun that shone with a powerful and domineering presence, and in his right hand was a moon that shone with a weak and gentle light. All the light in the chamber had gathered on Su Ming's hands.
"I understand now." An ancient air appeared on Su Ming's face. If anyone took a closer look, they would find that this ancient air … was rather similar to that of the white-robed man.
