However, if he succeeded, as he not Xuan Zang? And if he failed, where was he right then?
Su Ming lowered his head to stare at his body, then fell silent
”Xuan Er, you're daydreaain”
A stern voice came from nearby The speaker was an oldface He was dressed in a gray long robe and wore a straw hat While holding a wooden staff, he was looking at Su Ming
”Master…” Su Ming stared at the old o, but every single time he saw this person, his heart would tre before him was real
The old man… was Tian Xie Zi!
He looked exactly the sa's memories He could not tell whether it was the past or the present
”It's only been a month You have to remember that there is a total of six thousand years, one hundred cycles of sixty years There will be ten cycles for you to cross mountains, rivers, and plains with ain an epiphany of the changes regarding the four seasons You will learn of the principles of the world to search for the truth and the innate kindness of a person…

”Follow me”
His voice was ancient, and it echoed on the hill It see to the sky, gradually turning into the darkening clouds up ahead, then finally transfor followed behind the old man quietly He crossed the hill and walked past a lake that was not frozen In the distance, the setting sun shone on the land with its last rays of light, casting Su Ming's reflection on the lake

After the one hundred cycles of sixty years, the princes would return, and a fight for the throne would coh it, and the blood of those who died would be cast into his crown Then he would becodo It was the ruler of the entire land and a supreme entity in the entire world It stood above all cultivators and all sects!
This was the additional 's inally possessed At some unknown point in time, it had been branded into the depths of his soul as if it had always belonged to him
However, he could not remember his eldest brother's na he had was that he had to follow the old man before him for ten cycles of sixty years
”Drink” The old lance at Su Ming while pointing at the lake
”When the water in a lake does not move, it will reflect the sky Drink this water, and you will feel as if you have sed a corner of the sky This lake… will be named Sky Lake”
As the old man spoke, he bent his back and extended his hand to scoop up a handful of the water in the lake He brought it to his lips and drank it
In silence, Su Ming shi+fted his gaze to the lake He did not bend his back, however
The old
”Why should I drink this water? Even if it reflects the sky, and even if I feel as if I've sed a corner of the sky after I drank its water, I'll just be lying to uidly
”Lift your head and look into the sky in the distance,” the oldlifted his head At the instant he saw the sky, he narrowed his eyes He saw that there was a sion in the distant sky that seemed… to have been devoured!
