Pursuit of the Truth-Chapter 1411: I Already Know Who You Are!

Before Abyss Builders, seeking death… was not something their targets had in their own hands, because among the innate talents of the Abyss Builders, one was to reverse time. Su Ming used it right then. At the moment the scholar wanted to self-destruct while holding himself nobly and arrogantly, Su Ming lifted his right hand and tapped the center of the scholar’s brow lightly.

With it, the time on the scholar instantly reversed, and the signs of explosion in his body disappeared without a trace. His expression changed swiftly. That change was not voluntary, but had appeared when time reversed. In the man’s heart… a monstrous storm rose up, and unprecedented terror as well as shock filled him.

In Ancient Zang… Arts to reverse time like that had never appeared before!

Su Ming straightened his palm and patted the middle-aged scholar’s forehead. A huge wave of power instantly surged into the scholar’s body. Once it sealed his movements, Su Ming grabbed the person’s hair, lifted him up, and left the world of ice and snow.

Beneath him, the pavilion instantly turned into ice.

Su Ming returned to Seven Moons Sect’s sky. With the middle-aged scholar in hand, he charged to the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky.

In the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, the white-robed teenager moved his gaze away from Su Ming and spoke flatly.

“Don’t you think you’re going rather overboard? You can kill our people from One Dao Sect. This is our bet, but capturing them alive is going overboard.”

“That is his prize for victory.” Gu Tai smiled faintly. He cast a glance at the white-robed teenager, then, after a period of contemplation, he shook his head. “Alright, since Great Dao Paragon Sen Mu asked, I promise you that the man will not live for more than a month.”

“There is no running away from this battle between One Dao Sect and Seven Moons Sect anymore… You will have to make preparations for war now,” the white-robed teenager said faintly and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Gu Tai. He turned around and stepped into the air to instantly leave Seven Moons Sect. When he reappeared in the world outside, a freezing glare and killing intent were in his eyes.

The battle between One Dao Sect and Seven Moons Sect was just a brief scuffle. One Dao Sect had lost, but the damage to it was insignificant.

When the white-robed teenager left, the blizzard beyond Seven Moons Sect gradually disappeared. Only the nearly one hundred thousand ice statues on the ground served as testimony to the devastating battle.

The Seven Moons Disciples did not let out any cheers. Instead, they began cleaning up the battlefield and searching for the corpses of their sect members. Once they made offerings for all of them, another team of people specially put together began carving Runes on the ice statues.

One Dao Sect disciples in the ice statues looked like they were still alive. Their bodies and the ice statues they turned into were the best materials to create ice puppets.

What concerned the disciples from the fourth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, most of them patrolled the periphery of the sect in search of anyone who might have escaped. They also made sure the defenses of their sect were tight to prevent One Dao Sect from suddenly invading them again.

All of Seven Moons Sect began organizing themselves in perfect order. When Dao Han returned to the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, the thirteen great sect elders held a secret meeting.

As for Su Ming, he sat in the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky, right outside his house. Placed before him was a huge kiln, which was the former Chief Attendant of the Outer Sect. Right then, he no longer had a physical body, and only a fragment of his soul remained. He was continuously letting out faint and shrill screams of pain.

Besides the kiln, there was the scholar Su Ming had captured alive. At that moment, the scholar’s eyes were closed, as if he was deep asleep or unconscious.

While the cultivators in all layers of Seven Moons Sect were busy with their own tasks, Su Ming stared at the middle-aged scholar, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. After a long while, a glint shone in his eyes, and determination filled his gaze.

‘I do indeed have to check… just who wants to kill me!’

Once Su Ming made his decision, he no longer hesitated. At the instant he closed his eyes, he lifted his left hand and pushed down on his chest, and the center of his brow cracked open. When his third eye appeared… three Dao Divinities were revealed within!

However, the third Dao Divinity was rather indistinct, as if it had not yet gained full corporeal form, but they all opened their eyes at that moment. A brilliant light shone in them, and Su Ming lifted his right hand… pointing at the spot between the middle-aged scholar’s brow.

At the instant his finger touched his forehead, the scholar’s body lurched. It instantly flew open, and a dazed look appeared on his face. His pupils spread out, as if they wanted to replace the white in his eyes.

During that instant, the scholar felt as if a sharp blade had pierced his consciousness. When it swept past his mind, all his barriers instantly disappeared, and Su Ming could see all his memories at will.

If it was a simple search through his memories, Su Ming would not hesitate nor activate his power of the third level of Dao Divinity Realm. What he wanted to do was not just search through the scholar’s memories… but with the Time Reversal Art, to use the scholar’s memories and his body as a lead to form a connection with all of the people and objects in his own memories so that he could form a tunnel. Not only would he use the scholar’s mind to have a look at who the so-called eldest prince was…

But he would also see just how great was that person’s power!

That was the reason why Su Ming wanted to enter the world within the right eye of the statue’s outline but had not immediately killed the scholar. When the scholar trembled and a dazed look appeared on his face, Su Ming shook violently as well.

A vortex appeared at the spot where his finger touched the center of the middle-aged man’s brow. That vortex was like a tunnel. When Su Ming’s consciousness was pulled in, a loud rumble immediately rang out in his mind.

Amid the noise, he felt like a lone ship drifting in a raging sea that was the scholar’s memories. Time was an unknown entity in there, but at some point, Su Ming’s mind jolted.

“Wu Kun, what’s wrong?”

A hesitant voice spoke by his ears. When Su Ming opened his eyes, he saw a person looking at him. It was the scholar in the second level of Dao Divinity Realm who he had killed in the pavillion.

They seemed to be in a volcano that was about to erupt. Su Ming was sitting in the depths, right at the edge of magma. Waves of hot air crashed into his face, and smoke tumbled out from the magma, charging upwards.

When he lifted his head to look, he found that there was no exit to the volcano. It seemed like a normal mountain. However, there were numerous cracks on it. If anyone looked at the mountain from the outside, they would definitely find that it was a strange mountain covered in cracks, and red light shone from each of them.

A glint appeared in Su Ming’s eyes. When he lowered his head, he saw himself dressed in a scholar’s long robe. He even held a fan in his hand. At that moment, he was the person he captured and whose memories he had fused with after occupying their mind and body with the Time Reversal Art.

“It’s nothing,” Su Ming smiled faintly while speaking to the scholar in the second level of Dao Divinity Realm beside him.

“Oh well. The eldest prince should be egressing soon. Every single day, he walks out of the flame swamp around this time. Tell him your plan then. If the eldest prince agrees with it, we will bring it to the sect and let them make the final decision.”

When the scholar beside Su Ming said those words, the magma in the volcano suddenly began tumbling violently. Booming sounds echoed in the air, and magma surged up as if it had imploded.

From within the magma, a figure flew out. Magma fell from the air like rain while a person landed on a huge stone. His back was turned to Su Ming, and between them was the falling magma rain.

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

The scholar next to Su Ming immediately wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed to the figure respectfully. He was surprised when Su Ming did not do the same.

At that moment, when the magma rain completely fell, the figure with its back facing Su Ming slowly turned around to reveal a handsome face. It belonged to a young man in white robes!

At the instant the young man turned around and looked at Su Ming, he frowned slightly. When Su Ming saw him clearly, a loud bang shot up in his head.

At first glance, the so-called eldest prince appeared rather familiar, and once Su Ming observed him closely, he quickly remembered… that he was rather similar to Old Man Extermination. In fact, it could be said he was… Extermination when he was young!

Su Ming even sensed a hint of Lei Chen’s presence!

“Wu Kun! How dare you not greet His Highness?!” When the scholar next to Su Ming saw that there was something off about Su Ming, he quickly spoke and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the eldest prince. “Eldest prince, please forgive him. Since Wu Kun has been strategizing lately, he is rather absent-minded.”

“It’s fine. I’m not a person who cares much about the rules anyway. Wu Kun, how are the plans?” The eldest prince smiled faintly and looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming smiled. He stared at the eldest prince, at the much younger Extermination, and remembered the words that Old Man Extermination had said when he lost against Su Ming and was absorbed by Xuan Zang.

‘Is it about to start?’

Su Ming smiled and lifted his right foot. With a step forward, he instantly leapt over the magma and charged towards the eldest prince.

The moment he moved, the eldest prince narrowed his eyes and brought up his right hand without any hesitation, then threw it upwards. With a bang, the lava instantly imploded and formed an indescribable heat wave that went charging towards Su Ming. An astonishing bang rang out from it.

Su Ming lifted his right hand. With a swing of his arm, a chilling wind swept past him. At the instant it touched the magma and booming sounds shot up, the magma froze and turned into mountain rock!

“You’re not Wu Kun! Who are you?!”

A surprised glint appeared in the eldest prince’s eyes. While he spoke, a grim look instantly appeared on his face.

“I know who you are.”

Su Ming did not continue onward, but instead began moving backwards. The sparkle in his eyes disappeared, and the whole world before his eyes shattered to pieces at that moment.

When he opened his eyes again, they sparkled brilliantly. Before him was Wu Kun, who had already died. Blood had poured out from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth while he was seated on the mountain of the fifth layer of Sky Beyond the Sky in Seven Moons Sect!

The moment Su Ming’s consciousness returned to his body, a jade slip shot through the air from the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky and appeared directly in front of Su Ming. Light shone from within the jade slip, and an old voice came from inside it.

“Third prince, I am Gu Tai. Please come to the seventh layer of Sky Beyond the Sky. We would like to meet you.”
