Chapter 49: The Third Method! (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)
The wind is strong on this moonlit night!
In the earthen castle of the Fengquan tribe, the howling wind whistled by, as if there was a resentment that merged into the wind, stirring up the dust on the ground and rolling it towards the vastness, making the moon in the sky seem blurry.
Several figures, in this deep night's muddy stone city, galloped hastily, as if searching for something, but ultimately still remained bewildered without a single clue, until the distant sky turned white at the edges, and only then did these people slowly disperse.
Bei Ling walked back to the Wu Shan Department's residence with exhaustion and a pale face. This night, he first lost a large amount of blood from his brow, his physical weakness almost reached its limit, and he also witnessed that brief but astonishing battle!
That day, the earth shook with a loud rumble as a spear flew in, and Wu Sen's furious roar often echoed in his ears. In Beiling's eyes, Wu Sen was the pride of the Wind Pavilion tribe, although both of their cultivations were at the sixth level. However, Beiling knew that he couldn't defeat him, and didn't even dare to fight.
The other party's cultivation is not an ordinary barbaric method. The barbaric statue he worshipped in his early years, it is said that among the barbaric statues of the Wind Spring tribe, there is a particularly mysterious one that requires corpse energy to cultivate, condensing barbaric blood into a corpse body. If it reaches great completion, it can be said that even if mountains collapse and earth sinks, it will not be destroyed.
"That person who fought with Wū Sēn, who could it be... This person's cultivation can't be seen, but they can make Wū Sēn so miserable, they must also be a renowned figure, perhaps from the Black Mountain Sect..." Běi Líng's expression turned gloomy, he was the strongest among his peers in the Wū Shān Department, but he understood that outside of the Wū Shān Department, he was nothing.
With this complex mood and the uncertainty of the big test in the morning, Beiling returned to his residence, returned to his room, pushed open the door and walked in. But just as he stepped inside, Beiling's whole body suddenly shook violently, his pupils constricted, his hair stood on end, he gasped, and his face showed shock and incredulity.
On the table in his room, a pool of blood floated, emitting a faint green glow that flashed weakly, extremely eerie. This blood was exactly the essence of Beiling's body forced out by Wu Sen's finger pointing at his brow.
He froze for a moment, then Beilong suddenly turned around to look behind him. Behind him was pitch black, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. His heart thumped wildly as he stood silently for a moment before walking into the room, staring at the familiar blood on the table. Beilong's expression changed unpredictably.
"Who... is he... why did he help me..." After a long time, Beiling suddenly grasped the fresh blood, and as soon as it came into contact with his body, it immediately merged into his body, turning into a hot flow, causing Beiling to hastily sit down cross-legged and start circulating his blood vessels.
At the same time, in another room of Wu Shan's residence, Su Ming was sitting on the ground with his knees crossed, his face pale and a streak of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
But his eyes were extremely bright, looking down at a ball of dark green blood in the palm of his hand, revealing a cold smile.
"This is the pride of the Wind Pavilion Sect, not allowing others to surpass him, only a high and mighty figure! It's not that big of a deal, if I can complete the third layer of Blood Fire Stack, with this spear, even if I couldn't kill him, but heavily injure him, it wouldn't be difficult!" Su Ming wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with a fierce glint.
"I'm just lightly injured, and I can recover by circulating my blood and energy. However, the cultivation method of this person is extremely unusual." Su Ming's mind flashed back to the burning corpse fire heap and the green flames that emitted from it.
"If there's a chance, I'd like to meet all those proud sons of heaven! But looking at Wu Sen's crazy behavior in the cave, it seems that this thing is extremely important to him!" Su Ming glanced at the dark green blood in his hand and put it into a small bottle. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and grasped at the air, as if a wisp of moonlight suddenly appeared and surrounded the small bottle before disappearing.
He put the small bottle into his bosom, Su Ming closed his eyes and circulated the Qi and blood in his body, waiting for the arrival of dawn.
Time flies, and soon the outside sky is no longer pitch black. As the white mist on the horizon grows brighter, dawn arrives!
This morning will be different from the usual days. Today is the day when the Wind Zhen tribe hosts, and the surrounding eight directions of small tribes participate together in a grand trial that takes place only once every few years!
Every great trial, in addition to testing the younger warriors, is also a showcase for all tribes, showcasing the future of each tribe and whether there are any stunning talents, which determines the attitude of the Wind Village Tribe afterwards.
At dawn, Lei Chen, Wu La, Bei Ling, under the leadership of A Gong and Liang Shou, as well as Shan Hen, left their residence with the wind spring tribe's welcoming clan members.
Su Ming stood outside the house, watching as a line of people left. He saw Lei Chen waving at him with confidence on his face. He saw Wu La's calm and serene gaze, but also a hint of disdain. He saw Bei Ling's silent face, his expression restored to normal, but he didn't even glance at Su Ming.
There was also a deep and meaningful smile from the old man, as well as a hint of regret in his eyes. Finally, Su Ming saw that the taciturn Shan Hen, before leaving, narrowed his eyes, which seemed to have an unusual glow, scanning over himself.
Until those people disappeared far away from the end of their sight, slowly becoming invisible, Su Ming still stood there, only his body slowly changing, his face gradually transforming. After a moment, the Su Ming standing there had become a strong young man with slightly dark skin, and his entire body exuded a fierce aura, no different from ordinary barbarians.
But this Su Ming was different from the one last night, and the hat that Ah Gong gave him, which merged into his body, was extremely mysterious and could change its shape at will.
Standing there, Su Ming didn't show any impatience, but instead gazed at the sky, calmly waiting. He knew that today was important for himself and also for Ah Gong.
Today, Su Ming may soar into the sky, or perhaps... plummet into the abyss.
Su Ming didn't know if there was a force in the vastness that was interfering with all living things, controlling people's fate. He looked up at the sky now, the sky was very blue, that blue sky curtain, couldn't see the edge.
"All living things on this earth, who can see the end of heaven..." These words were from the opening sentence of that leather-bound book, and when Su Ming saw it for the first time, it gave him a deep shock and confusion.
"People often use the two words 'the world', what is the world, under the sky! If that day has spirit, then it will be oppressive! Oppressive to me, wanting me to humiliate myself..." Su Ming's mind flashed with those words.
He sometimes felt that the sky was indeed spirited, but this spirit was too cold. If it weren't for the coldness, why did Su Ming see people who were proud sons of heaven, silently ordinary, like a transcendent and yet dull white-haired old man, or like a purple-robed figure standing above the dust?
There are complex inner and outer heartstrings, with Wu Song's seizing of cultivation...
"Heaven's oppression, transformed into the intangible, bearing the pressure and enduring, merging with joy... If not joyful, then only rebelling against heaven and rising?"
Su Ming never really understood, even now he only vaguely understands a thing or two. He once asked his grandfather, and his grandfather's reply is still fresh in his memory!
"This sentence is simple, yet also complex. Simple in its meaning, the heavens have a pressure, wanting to force me, a barbarian, to either follow and endure with pleasure, or rise up in revolt and go against the way... but this last sentence, however, is a question."
In Grandpa's understanding, perhaps the question is whether there are other ways to resist besides going against the grain... When you grow up, maybe you can deeply understand that if one day you can reach the state of saying this sentence, maybe you will think of a third way besides following and going against.
After all, this beast skin book is the last place where Grandpa went in his life. It's a grand and majestic barbarian holy land that Grandpa has seen in his lifetime!
"There, it is called Tai Yu... The owner of this beast skin is the barbarian king of Tai Yu..."
Su Ming remained silent, still gazing at the blue sky. After a long time, footsteps came from outside and slowly approached. A person walked in, Su Ming withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked over.
A white robe, a head of white hair, a face that has been weathered by the years, but with a hint of wisdom, it is Shi Hai!
Shi Hai looked at Su Ming, looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him. He didn't know why Mo Gong Jing Nan wanted to arrange this matter for himself, letting him come here and bring someone to secretly participate in the Grand Trial.
"Follow me." On Su Ming's body, Shi Hai couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. After saying this, he turned around and walked away.
Su Ming's expression was calm as he followed behind.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw that Shi Hai's large sleeve shook, and immediately a mist spread from his body, instantly enveloping Su Ming. Su Ming's heart moved, but he didn't retreat, instead letting the mist wrap around him, and together with Shi Hai, slowly rose into the air, transforming into a misty rainbow, rushing towards the distance.
This was Su Ming's second time looking down at the earth from the sky, and he still felt a little nervous. His nervousness was seen by Shi Hai, who didn't pay attention to it, but instead accelerated his speed very quickly. Before long, he brought Su Ming over the Windy Nation on the ground and headed towards a vast plain in the far north.
Su Ming gazed out at the vast expanse of plain before him, which from the sky looked like a sea on the ground, endless in all directions. But as the mist he was in rushed forward rapidly, after a moment, Su Ming felt his entire body shake, as if it had collided with an invisible membrane. The instant he broke through, the sky and earth around him warped, like ripples appearing on water, and Shi Hai's icy voice echoed beside his ear.
"We're here!"
It's no longer a flat plain, but right in front of us, there is a mountain!
Su Ming had never seen such a massive mountain! It was infinitely higher than the Wicked Mountains, and in comparison, the Wicked Mountains were like an infant, while this mountain was a towering iron giant!
It seems that one can rush into the sky, but the mountain peaks are invisible. What is seen is only half of it, and its upper part is surrounded by countless white clouds and mist.
The mountain is so big that it's hard to believe!
On that mountain, Su Ming vaguely saw countless stone steps and small paths, winding their way up, disappearing into the clouds.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge circular square. The square is surrounded by nine towering statues, each with a primitive and wild atmosphere, quite ferocious.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of people on the huge square, scattered around, seemingly discussing something in a low buzz.
Su Ming's arrival instantly attracted the attention of hundreds of people on the square, but most of them just took a glance and then withdrew their gaze, discussing something with each other. This chapter is a turning point, please vote for recommendation!!!
