57 Energy Realms. (2/2)
It was all too strange for Su Min, as to gain cultivation, he supposedly would have to comprehend? It's just that he's not comprehending the energies of the world, but he's comprehending techniques?
What's the difference then? If comprehending a technique isn't the same as comprehending Ancient Energy, which although he has never done, then what is it?
”In fact, what are techniques?”
Su Min felt that he verging on an understanding that most would never touch upon, but even with his concentration he just couldn't cross that muddy bridge and find out!
”Bah! I just need to cultivate till everyone on this shitty realm would have to bow before me! Then gaining my bloodline would be a lot more simple. Hm... Now that I think about that, I should probably get that wisp from the kid I took all the trouble to save.”
Eyes beginning to shine with a bloodlust, Su Min gazed out into the abyss with a smile that wasn't a smile. However, he couldn't escape from this blackened world just yet...
”But first... I want to further my strength.”
Gripping his godly fists, Su Min took an abrupt motion and stood up in front of the golden tree. His eyes glimmered with a mysterious light as he took a step and walked right in front of such a tree.
Each golden leaf reflected itself into Su Min's one golden pupil, though for some strange reason, his other black pupil remained fogged and obscure. It was as if it contained no shimmer of life; like it was a lifeless dead thing.
Nonetheless, Su Min still could see out this pupil, and what he saw made him smile.
”So it works like that...”
He strolled to the front of the tree, and with a smirk, he saw a strange speck of black float right ahead of it! His golden eye couldn't see such a speck, but to his black eye, it was as clear as any other item in the world.
”This Martial Bloodline is truly strange...”
...
...
*POOF*
”Hm... This is the last area.”
With glimmering white eyes and a tired disposition, a robed man yawned as he stared at a small cave hidden in a dense collection of trees. An exceptional halo shrouded him, one that emitted an inexplicable pressure that made the very ground shiver with trepidation.
”Oh...”
*WOOOOOSH*
A strange whoosh of frailing winds blitzed past him, where a sudden thick stream of clouds formed above him and crackled with disheartening thunder.
*SNAP* *WHOOOSH*
”The heavens are reacting in such a way?”
His eyes narrowed as he glanced at the shaking sky, where hesitation shone for a swift second. Yet...
”I guess that means I've found something then.”
Once again locking his gaze on the roughly placed cave and its entrance, the man lifted into a smile. Yet it contained a certain solemnness that dreaded something.
”Though... It seems that whatever is in there is something I don't want to fight alone.”
His figure lightly trembled and his eyes shined even brighter. Then, with a sudden shudder in his white sight, an unusual gold revealed itself around the small forest. It wafted out of the cave unendingly, yet, what was strange was that inside of this gold, faint darkness shrouded it.
The trees and the sky were completely covered in this gold, resembling that of a hazed fog that just wouldn't go away. This gold was light and slow, yet whenever its dull wisps passed the robed man, his heart would beat just a little faster. It wasn't worthy of anything, but the man didn't like it.
”My life isn't going to be put on a coin toss...”
