<h4>Chapter 704: Light from Eastern Wastnds Tower</h4>
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
This was the first time Su Ming stepped into Eastern Wastnds Tower''s ninthyer. Almost at the instant he found himself there, the Eastern Wastnds Tower started shuddering, andyers of light surrounded the tower before they swiftly spread out in all directions.
As they did so, the firstyer of Eastern Wastnds Tower lit up, followed suit by the secondyer, then the third… up to the eighthyer. All of them began to shine with a powerful light. As for the ninthyer, it was in a state between being bright and dark, transforming rapidly.
There were ripples of light all around the tower. If anyone looked closely, they would find that there were eight light circles. These eight circles meant that Su Ming had went through the eightyers of the tower. At the instant he stepped into the ninthyer, those circles of light had erupted forth.
Clearly, the ninthyer was a boundary line. Those who were unable to step into the ninthyer could not bring out such a change to the tower. Only those who had the ability to get into the ninthyer would make Eastern Wastnds Tower erupt with such powerful light.
That light instantly covered the entire Eastern Wastnds, and even showed signs of spreading even further. Almost in an instant, all the Berserkers in Eastern Wastnds immediately stopped whatever they were doing and lifted their heads. Their attention was attracted solely by the eight ripples of light spreading through the sky.
Even Qian Chen, who was pretending to be dead in the forest, instinctively opened his eyes and nkly looked at the ripples in the sky. The old man who was really the bald crane and was chatting with the three Berserkers was also stunned by the sight. The three young men before him were the same.
All the Berserkers on thend of Berserkers who saw the light circles in the sky immediately felt their blood boiling after a year it hadid dormant!
That burn in their blood was due to their God of Berserkers. It was a faint guide leading them to their God.
"God of Berserkers! It''s the God of Berserkers!"
"The God of Berserkers has returned!"
At that instant, loud booming sounds surged into the sky from all directions in thend of Berserkers. All Berserkers had been searching for Su Ming for a whole year, all throughout the Eastern Wastnds.
They had been unable to find any trace of their God during that one year, but they did not give up. They continued expanding their search area and continued looking. They believed that their God of Berserkers had not died and trusted that he was still with them.
At that moment, at the instant they felt their blood guiding them towards their God, excited cries erupted from all the corners of Eastern Wastnds. Long arcs charged up from the ground and rushed in the direction theyers of ripples hade from.
It was especially so for the Berserkers and tribes who were close to Eastern Wastnds Tower. During that instant, as their hearts trembled, they saw the source of the ripples of light - the brightly lit eightyers of Eastern Wastnds Tower.
"The God of Berserkers is in Eastern Wastnds Tower!"
Excited cries reverberated in the air. Those who were closer to the tower immediately rushed forth at full speed.
Eastern Wastnds'' Chi Lei Tian, Xue Sha, Goldenrain Mountain Tribe''s Elder, Wu Shuang, the Great n Elder of All Entities n, Tian Qi, and the others were in different locations working diligently for the Berserkers'' rise in power. When the ripples of light echoed in the sky, they lifted their heads, turned into long arcs, and charged towards them.
Fated Kin had gathered together after they sensed Su Ming''s presence a year ago. They were not too far away from the spot where the Immortals had descended, lingering around. They did not mix with the other tribes, but chose to live independently.
They were unique. They did not mingle with other people. They were Fated Kin!
It was as if they had returned to their form of life when they were in the World of Nine Yin. However, they were no longer in constant danger. During that one year, the region where they had made their home was continuously transformed and gradually changed into a suitable ce where Fated Kin could bring forth even strongerbat abilities.
They had also been searching for Su Ming, their Respected Senior Mo. Now, at the instant the ripples of light reverberated in the air, all Fated Kin stood up in excitement and turned into long arcs that charged through the air towards Eastern Wastnds Tower.
This was an actmitted by all Berserkers in Eastern Wastnds and most of what the Berserkers in the inds in South Morning did. An innumerable amount of Berserkers charged through the air, and their goal was simr—all of them were heading towards Eastern Wastnds Tower!
Su Ming did not know of the excitement in the world outside. At that moment he was standing at the ninthyer of Eastern Wastnds. There was an incredibly denseyer of golden light around him, and there was a wisp of World ne''s presence within that golden light as it surrounded Su Ming, resulting in his body being only faintly visible within that presence.
As the World ne''s presence surrounded and continuously surged into him, Su Ming closed his eyes and circted his cultivation base to swiftly absorb that presence so that he could turn it into the power of his own Life Matrix.
This was Eastern Wastnds Tower''s serendipity, and this was the ninth time Su Ming had obtained a serendipity here. When he first moved into the firstyer of Eastern Wastnds Tower, he had received its serendipity for the first time. He had been critically wounded at the time, and due to the tower he was able to heal his injuries. Then, as he moved through eachyer, he had graduallye to understand this ce.
This was a tower that had been sealed for ages. Only the first person who got past eachyer would be able to receive its serendipity.
Right then, Su Ming was the only person within Eastern Wastnds Tower!
When he opened his eyes after some time, his body was filled with a spiritual air. He stood there and quietly sensed his cultivation base. The World ne''s power in the ninthyer far surpassed the previous eightyers. The amount he absorbed this time brought quite a lot of nourishment for his cultivation base.
''I''m still a slight distance away from reaching the pinnacle of the initial stage of Life Matrix, but if I continue this way and move through a few moreyers, then perhaps I''ll be able to reach it.''
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath of the World ne''s presence within the golden light, then lifted his foot and walked out of the center of the ninthyer.
At the instant he did so, his vision immediately became indistinct. When everything cleared out, a tall mountain appeared before his eyes.
This mountain was incredibly tall. The tip of it could not be seen clearly in the blue sky, endless clouds hiding the summit away.
There was a river in the sky right behind that mountain. It was huge and stretched endlessly into the horizon. It was connected to the earth, and waves of water poured down to thend like a waterfall. However, that water would turn back further down in the distance and charge back to the sky to fuse back into the river, making the river in the sky flow in a cycle.
Su Ming stood far away from that ce, but he could still hear the rushing sounds of the water flowing in that river.
However, since the mountain was too tall and hid most of the river from view, Su Ming could only see a small part of it and not the whole thing.
One mountain, one river, and a desert.
That desert covered the entirend, and the sand that was swept up brought with it moaning sounds that reverberated in all directions. It covered the mountain and river in Su Ming''s eyes.
This was the ninthyer of Eastern Wastnds Tower.
"Eastern Wastnds Tower''s ninthyer. One mountain, one river, one desert… You who came to this ce can activate all your power and destroy everything here. You can also choose to understand the conception of this ce and break through it naturally.
"You have two choices. Two paths," a buzzing voice stated, reverberating from all directions. There was a feeling of age to that voice, as if it had been here for a very long time.
This was not the first time Su Ming had heard this voice. When a person reached a newyer for the first time, they would always hear this voice. If they went down and returned back to it, the voice would not speak up again.
A glint appeared in Su Ming''s eyes. He took a step forward and disappeared within the span of a breath. When he reappeared, he was already standing on a mountain rock jutting out of the middle section of the mountain. As he stood there, he looked into the distance, and the river appeared clearly before his eyes.
The river in the sky was incredibly huge. The rushing of water spread in all directions… but the water itself looked incredibly far away, and Su Ming did not feel as if he''d gotten any closer or made any significant changes to the distance between him and the river when he had moved from the center of the ninthyer.
In silence, Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the mountain. He turned into a long arc and charged towards the top.
Time trickled by slowly. An hourter, Su Ming frowned. He… was still on the mountain. When he lifted his head, the summit was still hidden in the clouds. Even if he had already reached the higher parts of the mountain, he could not move to its top.
After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming lowered his head and looked at the ground. After some time, his pupils constricted.
"There is no end to this mountain…" he mumbled. The mountain seemed to be very tall when he looked at it previously, yet once he stepped on it, he had managed to find some clues about it. There was no end to this mountain. With every set amount of distance he traveled up, the mountain would stretch and grow.
Because of this, it had no end and no summit.
After a brief period of silence, Su Ming turned into a long arc and left the mountain and charged towards the river before him. Yet no matter how fast he traveled, the river remained as far in the distance as it had been before. It was as if the area between them would continuously lengthen as Su Ming moved in its direction, just like the mountain''s height.
Su Ming had seen a scene like this before, at the altar behind Fated Kin''s mountain when they were in the World of Nine Yin. That altar would forever remain before him, and no matter how quickly he traveled, he would never be able to catch up to it.
Su Ming might have managed to conquer the altar under the old Spirit of Nine Yin''s guidance, but the level of depth and sophistication within the mountain and river far surpassed the World of Nine Yin''s altar based on what Su Ming could see with his current level of cultivation.
He gradually stopped chasing after the river and slowly went down until hended on the desert. He sat down on the ground and looked at the sand underneath him.
He could sense that there was a deep meaning contained within the mountain, river, the desert. If he could understand that meaning, then his understanding towards Life would be much deeper.
''Lie Shan Xiu… you turned the Eastern Wastnds Tower''s appearance into a tant plot to make Immortals fight among themselves, allowing Berserkers to obtain hope to rise in power.
''To Immortals, this tower would give what they desire. You left your epiphany towards ne Timelines at the top, but to the Berserkers, this Eastern Wastnds Tower is a ce to help them increase their level of cultivation and also a ce for them to train.
''You left the cultivation methods for Evil Spirits and Surging Indulgers in the previous eightyers in the manner of brief introductions before you moved on to more in-depth introductions. You also introduced these two races in the sixthyer. You must have your own reasons for doing so…''
A pensive look appeared in Su Ming''s eyes. After some time, he closed his eyes and went on to silently sense the mountain, river, and desert within Eastern Wastnds Tower''s ninthyer.
Time trickled by…
