Chapter 1035 Welco Back, Our Liege
The foreign lands were fragnted and existed in countless cracks within the galaxy, including Western Ring Nebula. Even though centuries had passed since then, the mysteries and rumors about the place remained in the cultivators' hearts and did not disappear.
Once they stepped in, then there was a high possibility that they would never be able to get out again. The mysterious veil about that place was sothing that only existed in na to Su Ming, but to most cultivators, the mighty pressure created by that mysteriousness was powerful enough to suffocate them .
Su Ming had not seen that place for hundreds of years, and when he returned to Western Ring Nebula's foreign land again, he stared at the cracks in the galaxy. He did not say a word. Before his eyes, he seed to be able to see himself hundreds of years ago being forced inside by the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds. He also saw himself wreaking havoc in their territory once he walked out, and then, he was chased down by an Almighty in Mastery Realm.
If that Almighty in Mastery Realm still dared to attack Su Ming, his palm would be cut off without any hesitation.
Su Ming said faintly, "Senior Chang He, please wait in this place. I still have so matters to attend to here." Zhu You Cai did not speak, but closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged in the galaxy.
Su Ming turned his head around to cast a glance at Fla Fiends' Progenitor. The thin old man imdiately looked as if Su Ming's words would be a sacred edict. A fawning smile appeared on his face, and he nodded rapidly.
Before Su Ming could even say anything about that kind of attitude, the bald crane, who no longer seed dazed and sad as if it simply did not use its head to think, suddenly glared at Fla Fiends' Progenitor, because it sensed an incredibly great threat that rushed straight into its head.
That threat ca from the fawning look of Fla Fiends' Progenitor. His expression caused the bald crane to be in an incredibly bad mood. It imdiately spread open its bare wings, then put on an arrogant appearance and glared at Fla Fiends' Progenitor with a profound gaze.
It bent its back and used the sa fawning gaze to look at Su Ming before quickly saying, "Boss, should I go in and check things beforehand? If there is any sort of danger, with my abilities, I will definitely be able to resolve it. I won't be like certain people whose entire bodies go up in flas and who don't know how to share danger." The bald crane's solicitous words were sothing rarely spoken by it. Su Ming cast a sideways glance at it and smiled faintly.
Fla Fiends' Progenitor was montarily stunned before he cast a scrutinizing glance at the bird. An expression of wanting to face danger together with Su Ming appeared on his face. He might be an Almighty in Mastery Realm, but for living spirits, no matter how high their level of cultivation was, it was difficult for them to change their nature.
And it was the case for Fla Fiends' Progenitor as well. When he was yet to beco a Progenitor, he might have had quite a promising potential, but him being able to obtain his current level of cultivation and the legacy of the previous Fla Fiends' Progenitor as well as being able to reach Mastery Realm in one go after slaughtering his way through nurous other potential successors was due to him being good at flattering his Progenitor in the past.
However, it had been a long ti since he had used that skill. That was why when he used it, he was still a little rusty; he was no longer as good as he was in the past.
Su Ming did not bother with Fla Fiends' Progenitor and the bald crane's passive-aggressive fight. He moved toward the crack leading to Western Ring Nebula's foreign land and charged into the crack, disappearing without a trace.
The bald crane might have been full of bold words, but in truth, from the depths of its heart, it did not want to enter Western Ring Nebula's foreign land again. The ti when it had fallen unconscious had traumatized it. When it saw Su Ming stepping into the place alone, it instantly let out a sigh of relief in its heart. However, anxiety appeared on its face then next mont and it turned its head around to glare at Fla Fiends' Progenitor.
The expression of the man did not change. He grinned and stared at the bald crane before also putting on a fawning expression, but he was laughing coldly in his heart while thinking to himself that he had managed to blind many of his people with that appearance in the past. The calculative and conniving Su Ming was soone that he could not deceive, but the little birdy was definitely sothing that would be wrapped around his finger.
When the bald crane saw Fla Fiends' Progenitor's deanor, it instantly felt its heart let out a loud thump and thought that it had underestimated him before. Hence even though it let out cold snort in its heart, its expression changed. Its glare turned into a smile and it went forward to hug the thin Fla Fiends' Progenitor before laughing and acting as if they were great friends.
"Little Fire Boy, when I saw you, I instantly felt that you are soone that I can be great friends with!"
"You flatter . Fellow Daoist Crane, you have the deanor of an Immortal and the bones those from the path of Dao, I'm afraid that these old bones do not have to the courage to be friends with soone of such a high social position."
'Hmm? Are you looking down on your Grandpa Crane?'
The man and crane both had their own thoughts in their heads while fighting passive-aggressively with words, but despite them it was quiet in Western Ring Nebula's foreign land. Quite a large number among the one hundred thousand stone monunts had made it past one million feet and stood tall on the ground.
Among them were a certain ten thousand stone monunts. Their color might have seed normal, but if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to tell… that they were purple!
There were plenty of people sitting and ditating beneath those the hundred thousand stone monunts. Occasionally, they would lift their heads and look at the ten thousand purple stone monunts, and all of their faces would show desire and envy.
At that mont, there were dozens of people sitting under them. They did not move and their expressions were calm. However, in that silence was a determination and an air of supremacy.
That was because they owned the purple stone monunts and because… their stone monunts were the only ones among the one hundred thousand stone monunts that would not be destroyed by the will of the law in the land. The purple stone monunts would only have people added to them, but not lose anyone of their own.
However, that was not absolute. They might not die because of outsiders replacing them… but there was another law among the purple stone monunts, and all of the people in the place knew about it.
Each year, there would be people who would die, and those ten would be the weakest ten among the lot.
It did not matter how tall was a person's stone monunt. As long as their level of cultivation was at the bottom, they would be wiped off within a hundred sothing years. Because of that, those who possessed the purple stone monunts were sowhat unique, besides the fact that they imrsed in practicing cultivation for their whole lives.
"Purple stone monunt… It's a pity that when I entered this place, the purple stone monunts did not choose , or else I would have been able to beco one of their tributes… and I wouldn't have to live in constant fear every single day. I would only need to train madly to be able to avoid being killed."
"This is our lives. But why are the purple stone monunts so unique, and from what I see, they only number to about a couple thousands?"
"It's only been a short ti since you ca here, but this is largely connected… to a legend from the past." In the quiet land with one hundred thousand stone monunts, there would occasionally be a few gazes which would land on the ten thousand purple stone monunts, and the faint voices of a few people speaking would be heard.
While they were discussing things among themselves, the tallest purple stone monunt suddenly shone, and an old man walked out from it which was one million sothing feet tall.
The old man had an ancientness to him. At the instant he walked out, he attracted the gazes of all the people in the area, especially the dozens of people underneath the purple stone monunts. All of them got up and bowed deeply to him.
"Greetings, Progenitor."
The old man nodded. Without saying a single word, he sat down cross-legged underneath his stone monunt and closed his eyes to ditate.
"It's Zhao Family's Progenitor!" The low-voiced discussion among the people from the other stone monunts echoed faintly in the air.
"That's right. That person's stone monunt has long since reached the size at which he can go out, but he never chose to go. Instead, he's training in a frenzy…"
"I heard from soone about a legend that happened a long ti ago… There was a person called Mo Su…"
"Quiet! It's best not to ntion his na in this place. He's not soone people like us can talk about."
"Oh? Then why can Big Brother Zhou talk about him?"
"Big Brother Zhou? You're talking about Zhou Kang , right? He's… different from us."
While the people from other stone monunts discussed the old events among themselves, a violent shudder ran through the land with the one hundred thousand stone monunts, as if wind had risen and clouds were surging. Rumbling sounds ring in the air.
They spread in all directions, causing the ground to tremble and the air to continuously tumble about before turning into a drastic change that swept through the land.
Cries of surprise instantly traveled in all directions. The land, which had countless stone monunts standing on it and only had so cultivators sitting cross-legged under them, trembled furiously as booming sounds reached a deafening volu.
While the stone monunts trembled, they imdiately shone with dazzling light, and their cultivators were forced out. So of them had grim expressions on their faces while others panicked openly. They looked upwards together.
Boom!
When a loud bang traveled downwards like the might of heavens, the originally indistinct purple hue above the ten thousand purple stone monunts among the one hundred thousand stone monunts in the land shone with a purple light brighter than anyone had ever seen. As it reached a piercing degree, it instantly covered the land, causing the ten thousand purple stone monunts among the one hundred thousand to be incredibly striking!
Zhao Family's Progenitor's heart shuddered. He opened his eyes, and when he raised his head to look above him, a hint of rarely seen excitent appeared on his face. The other owners of the purple stone monunts beside him started trembling furiously. They could sense an incomparably familiar presence, and there was a great urge within them to bow down and worship it. As the tremors in the land grew stronger, that urge grew stronger in their hearts as well.
The transformation in the land was sothing that plenty of them did not rember because they had never experienced it, but there were still a handful of people who seed to have vague recollection, and their expressions changed to resemble sothing that was akin to a mix between excitent and anxiety.
Zhou Kang was sitting quietly under his stone monunt. When he lifted his head to look at the tumbling air above him, a hint of sentintality appeared in his eyes. He knew… that Mo Su had returned.
"I, Zhao Tian Gang, welco back our liege!" Zhao Family's Progenitor stood up and wrapped his fist in his palm before bowing deeply towards the sky.
When his ancient voice echoed in the air, all the owners of the purple stone monunts worshiped the sky together.
"Welco back, our liege!"
Their voices spread out, resulting in loud bangs that shook the people from the other ninety thousand stone monunts. As their expressions changed continuously, the sky roared, the fog and clouds tumbled back madly in two directions to reveal a gigantic crack, and a figure with an indifferent expression walked over from the distance. Slowly, it grew clearer in everyone's eyes.
Mo Su!
1. Zhou Kang: The person who briefed Su Ming about the foreign land when he arrived, was friendly to him, whose wife, Si Ma Yue, was killed, who Su Ming transferred from the blue stone monunt to the purple stone monunt, and who refused to leave this place because he wanted to rember his wife.
