The sound of people digging the road appeared again, resonating in all of the seven dimensions. This time, the chaotic Wisdom turbulence began to boil in one part of the Chaos Ocean like a heavy fog, revealing a brand new world. What was hidden there was the second dimension that had been cut off by the Battle Spirit Guardians. A path was being connected to the second dimension as well.
Everything was in chaos in the second dimension, even deadlier and broken than the third dimension. If the other dimensions were likened to a gurgling stream filled with countless creatures, then the second dimension was like a ditch with smelly water and no signs of life.
There was no Spiritual Qi, not even stars. Even a Wisdom Elite would not be able to survive in that kind of environment. Here, his powers would dissipate from being unable to get the slightest nourishment. His Origins of Life would inevitably dim.
Back then, the people of the Origins Realm entered the second dimension and released the unknown gray fog. They engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Battle Spirit Guardians. Even if one did not witness that battle, it was enough to imagine the tragic situation at that time. As a result, the entire second dimension fell apart, everything was annihilated, and the world was irreversibly destroyed!
In the end, the Battle Spirit Guardians decided to cut off the second dimension, which was tantamount to cutting off the Origins, making it completely a dead dimension. In the ensuing countless years, the people of the Origins Realm also removed everything valuable in the dimension until none was left.
At this time, in the sky above, an illusory path emerged and became the only bright thing in this dimension. At the same time, the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard.
Under the gleam of this dim light, it was only then discovered that a figure was floating in the dark void. It seemed to be a young man. His face was as pale as paper and his vitality was extremely weak, like a blade of grass at the end of its life.
He wore a brocade shirt with jade inlays that were etched with formation patterns. One glance was enough to know that the shirt was something extraordinary, but because of the continuous dissipation of the Spiritual Qi in the dimension, it had been transformed into a common product without a trace of aura.
“Su Chen, your dictator bloodline’s now mine. Hahaha.”
“I’ve never loved you, Su Chen. I only got close to you so that Su Ming can get your dictator bloodline. I hope you don’t blame me.”
“There’s no need to waste your breath on him, Yanran. Just throw him to the Ancient Forbidden Area. He’ll die for sure!”
“Su Ming, congratulations on getting the dictator bloodline. In the future, you’ll be the natural master and you can definitely become the top powerhouse in the Origins Realm.”
“It’s all thanks to a fool like Su Chen. To thank you for your bloodline, I might as well tell you a secret. I’ve been fooling around with Yanran for three years even though she won’t let you touch her. Hahaha!”
“Oh, Su Ming, you rascal…”
The young man furrowed his brows as the scene kept replaying in his mind, making his face more and more frightening to look at.
His eyes snapped open and shouted, “You motherf*cker and b*tch!”
However, he realized that his throat was extremely dry and he could not utter a word at all.
“No! I can’t die just yet! I have to kill them first! I can’t let them get away with my bloodline and my position! I can’t die. I must live! But…who can save me?” At the thought of this, his hatred extinguished instantly. His eyes filled with despair and sorrow and frustrated tears began to roll down his cheeks.
He saw no way out of his predicament.
Suddenly, he heard a crisp ringing sound, startling him slightly. Only then, did he discover that there was a faint outline of a road in the void that shone brilliantly.
“This is my chance!” He was like a drowning man catching a straw as he used the last of his energy to crawl to the phantom road.
“I have to try everything, even if it’s just a glimmer of hope.” He used all the tricks in his arsenal to approach the road, even to the extent of burning the blood in his heart just so he could move a little bit closer to it.
Closer, and closer. ‘Someone, please, save me.’
He entered the phantom road and felt momentarily dizzy as if he had just traveled through time and space. Then, he fainted. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a mountain range and an endless forest. Around him was the familiar Spiritual Qi, invigorating him.
“Have I died and come to heaven?” Su Chen muttered to himself. He continued to lie on the ground, breathing in and out. Only then did he manage to stand up.
He discovered that not far away, there was a stele with the words ‘Fallen Immortal Mountain’ engraved on it. The handwriting was stylized vigorously, like a flying dragon and phoenix. A sacred aura rushed at him and enveloped him.
“Who wrote this? Just looking at it brings me closer to enlightenment. I can even feel a resonance with Wisdom and Origins. I’ve never felt like this even in our clan’s Enlightenment Mountain.” Su Chen’s eyes widened and his heart roared.
Although his cultivation base was abolished, his senses were still there and he could sense the extraordinariness of the stele with just a glance.
“The Wisdom and Origins are so thick here! This is not an ordinary place! Did I come to a secret border in the Origins Realm? But, wasn’t I just in the Ancient Forbidden Zone moments ago?”
Su Chen’s heart throbbed and the flow of his blood accelerated, out of anxiety and excitement. He was anxious because he did not know where he was, and excited because he was still alive! Not to mention, he seemed to have arrived at some extraordinary place.
“Fallen Immortal Mountain? What does it mean?” He took a deep breath and looked at the mountain nervously. He could not wait to fly up the mountain and so, he took flight with a jump.
However, he immediately fell facedown as soon as he took off. The impact against the cement caused his face to become deformed while blood bled profusely from his nose.
“Of course, flying would be forbidden here… Everything here is full of extraordinariness. I should’ve known. It was very stupid of me to disrespect the senior up on the mountain!”
He immediately got down on his knees and kowtowed to the mountain to apologize. After three kowtows, he stood up again and walked up the mountain step by step.
After a while, he heard the roaring of beasts, and after pondering around, he saw a group of demons gathered in one place. In the middle, stood a tall man who was scooping manure from a big pit.
“The auras of these demons are very strong, even stronger than when I was at my peak. Each one of them would be able to conquer the Origins Realm!” Su Chen was extremely shocked. He then turned to look at the Elite King and found that he could not feel the slightest aura from him.
“Greetings, Senior. My name’s Su Chen.”
The Elite King did not look at him. Instead, he said lightly, “What are you standing there for? Come and help me stir the pit.”
Su Chen was taken aback for a moment. If it was anytime before this, he would not be able to look at the pit. Even hearing it being mentioned would be enough to make him feel nauseous. However, he had just gone through a near-death experience and wanted to seize all opportunities to change his fate.
“Yes, sir!” he answered. Then, he made his way over to the cesspit.
Suddenly, a strong smell hit his face. It rushed straight into his nose, making his mind go blank and dizzy. Just when he was about to hold his breath, the power in his body suddenly began to work. Even the injuries in his body showed signs of improvement.
‘This…this smell has healing properties!’ He opened his mouth in amazement and felt a surge of heat rushing from his heart to his brain. ‘What kind of poop is this? I’ve never heard of poop that can heal wounds!’
“Hurry up and stir the cesspit!” The sound of the Elite King’s voice pulled him back to the present.
Su Chen shook his head in a bid to snap himself out of it and quickly used the manure fork to stir the cesspit. The more he stirred, the more he felt the mysterious aura coming from all directions and nourishing his body. It was more effective than any cultivation technique! He was not shoveling manure but cultivating!
What’s more, he was cultivating an incredibly powerful and unparalleled technique. He had a feeling that he would be invincible if he had only started this work sooner. The Elite King must be an expert! Never in his life would he dream to have such good fortune as meeting an expert.
He immediately stopped what he was doing, knelt before the Elite King, and kept kowtowing while saying, “Senior, I was tricked by a treacherous man and was in a perilous situation. Thank you for saving me from the abyss. I know I shouldn’t be greedy, but please accept me as your disciple so that one day I can have my revenge!”
“Silence! The person who saved you isn’t me but an extremely powerful existence! I wouldn’t even bother speaking to you if it weren’t for the fact that the expert decided you’re worth saving,” said the Elite King quickly.
Su Chen’s heart jumped, his face was full of disbelief. Hearing the awe in the Elite King’s tone, the terrifying existence he had mentioned must be unbelievably powerful, so much so that Su Chen could not even grasp it. The Elite King had no second thought about giving the expert face by letting Su Chen help him out with his work.
“Oh well, I could use some help after all. Are you willing to work with me?” asked the Elite King with a smile. He was doing this for the sake of Li Nianfan.
The expert opened up a road that connected all the seven dimensions, the second dimension included. With such a large undertaking, Su Chen was the only one to arrive at the Fallen Immortal Mountain. It was fate that brought him there and it would be a waste to not put him to good use.
“Yes! I’m willing! Thank you, kind sir!” said the overjoyed Su Chen.
“That’s great! I’ll explain to you some of the more important things that you need to take note of in this job. And remember, we’re working for the expert so we must make sure that we execute our job well!”
Su Chen’s skull began to crawl. Just what kind of existence would make the Elite King become a gong farmer willingly? There was a possibility that he would be returned to his former glory if he worked as a gong farmer, too.
At the same time, the portals between the seven dimensions had all disappeared since they were all merged into one big dimension. Out of habit, people still referred to them as dimensions. Many monks discovered that the Chaos Ocean surrounding the seven dimensions had also become thinner. It seemed that a brand new path had appeared, a path that led to the Origins Realm.
There, the Su family came from a long line of noble blood since the Eternal Years. On this day, it was the liveliest day the Su family had ever seen. They were holding a banquet for guests to come from all over the realm to witness the birth of the new Young Master Su
“It’s a shame that the last young master’s no more. I still remember when he caused a commotion when he broke through to the Heavenly Realm in only a hundred years or so.”
“Yeah. Remember how crazy it all was when Su Chen was found to have the dictator bloodline? The Su family held a banquet for three months with a never-ending flow of good wine and Spiritual Fruits!”
“Of course! The dictator bloodline puts him above the rest!”
“Who would’ve thought that Su Chen would suddenly disappear without a trace?”
“It’s actually not that surprising. The path of cultivators has always been perilous. Someone must’ve been jealous of his talent and wanted him out. I pity the Su family though…”
The topic gradually changed from the old young master to the new young master.
“But I have to hand it to them. It was surprising to find that Su Ming has the dictator bloodline as well! It’s as rare as lightning striking the same place twice.”
“Yeah, I was shocked to hear that Su Ming was even more talented than Su Chen!”
“In fact, Su Ming has always been very strong. After all, he has the Godly Eye Technique which enables him to see through all the Dao techniques in the world. It’s just that he’s been living under Su Chen’s shadow all this while.”
Suddenly, an old man stood up in the void and announced loudly, “The ceremony for the succession of the young master begins!”
Under the gaze of everyone, a young man stepped off into the air, came to the high platform, and swept his gaze across everyone. His eyes were like black holes. It gave everyone the feeling like he could see through the very depths of their souls.
Then, the ceremony began.
Finally, the old man announced, “Since everyone has no objections, I declare that from this moment on, Su Ming will be the young master of the Su family!”
“Objection!” A shout rang through the audience and a middle-aged man ran out, his face flushed. With terrible anger, he yelled, “My son is the rightful young master of the Su family!”
He stared at everyone in the Su family and hissed, “My son and I have made great military exploits for the Su family. We’ve given so much to the Su family, and yet, not one of you searched for him after he disappeared! How can you just establish a new young master without even getting to the bottom of Su Chen’s disappearance?”
“Su Linfeng, I understand the pain you must be feeling with the loss of your son, but we’ve been searching for three years and still have no clues. Only then, did we decide to establish a new young master. He’ll continue searching for Su Chen,” said the old man calmly.
Su Ming smiled and said, “Uncle Su, I’ll scour the entire realm if it means there’s a chance of finding Su Chen.”
“Bullsh*t! I dare say that you probably had something to do with Su Chen’s disappearance!” said Su Linfeng.
“That’s enough! Guards, throw him into the water dungeon until he cools down!”
