Chapter 141 You've been missing for 3 years, and I've been trapped for "3 years"
"I won't stop you from going to the ancient tomb, but it's very dangerous there. I don't know what kind of danger it is; it's unknown, and that's the most dangerous place. You should be careful. My advice is not to go," Han Ji said.
This wasn't because of any relationship with Su Ming; their relationship was just so-so. He would have given the same advice to anyone else, since in his eyes it was suicidal and unacceptable.
"Thanks for the reminder, but I'll still go," Su Ming said. He didn't want to go, but he had promised to come, and besides—
Su Ming shuddered. The thought of Jiu Youhou being beaten into a vegetative state by Ye Quan and frozen in Helan Mountain was terrifying. She couldn't afford to mess with her.
If he had to choose between going to the ancient tomb and joining the Nine Netherworlds, he would choose the ancient tomb without hesitation, even if there were unknown dangers there.
"Go ahead." Han Ji waved his hand, not interfering too much in other people's decisions.
After leaving the Magic Association, Su Ming headed straight for the outer city wall of the ancient capital. Anyway, there was nothing in the ancient capital that needed him, so he just wanted to quickly resolve the matter of the ancient tomb and come out.
I just happened to obtain many elements, which I can use to train after entering the ancient tomb. After training, I can start cultivating.
The soul-repairing artifact blood that Jiang Shaoxu gave him was quite useful, consistently keeping pace with his magical cultivation. The improvement seemed to be constant, regardless of whether he was at the initial, intermediate, or now advanced level.
This soul-cultivation vessel is different from the others; it is constant, which is very mysterious. He is too lazy to figure out what's going on, and he can't understand it anyway.
After all, the soul-cultivating vessel wasn't his; he merely possessed it.
The area outside the ancient capital is very safe during the day. Many monks on the city wall are chatting and eating melon seeds. The topic they talk about most now is that ancient tomb over there.
Many people went in, but none of them came out, which made them feel uneasy. Being so close to the ancient capital, it would be no joke if something unexpected happened.
Su Ming jumped down directly. The city wall was very high, but it was nothing to many mages.
Su Ming used his spatial ability to teleport to the ground midway through the journey.
"Wow, a high-level mage, and a space-type one at that! Which big shot is heading to the ancient tomb this time?" His actions naturally didn't escape the notice of the people on the city wall, who began to discuss it amongst themselves!
There have been quite a few big shots who have entered the ancient tomb, including high-level hunters and even super-level hunters. Although there are many of them, it is still impossible not to feel a sense of awe.
They were also somewhat disheartened. Many people had gone inside, including quite a few powerful mages, but none of them had come out, which made them a little worried.
After Su Ming came down, he walked directly towards the ancient tomb. There were quite a few people around the tomb, but there were far fewer than before.
Su Ming didn't care about the stares of these people. Most of those who stayed outside were waiting. Those who were going in had already gone in. Some of them were originally going to give Su Ming some advice, but he just walked in without paying attention to the people outside. The moment he entered the ancient tomb, the weightlessness that Lu Huan had mentioned did not come. It was like walking on flat ground, without any obstacles. It was just that it was pitch black all around, just as Lu Huan had said.
After walking for a while, I still couldn't see the road ahead. Everything around me was cut off, and the passage of time here was somewhat disordered and impossible to perceive normally; it all felt chaotic.
Su Ming suddenly felt hot.
He looked down and saw flames gradually emerging from his body, as well as from the ground. The ground seemed to be like a mirror, and it was too dark to see clearly underneath, but as the flames gradually expanded, Su Ming was able to see a little more clearly.
In the spiritual world, the fire element formed by the Bifang flames began to stir, restlessly emitting energy.
The scene below ground became clearer, and Su Ming froze on the spot after seeing it clearly.
He clenched his fist in disbelief, then looked down.
Below was a pile of bodies, and there was a very strong life force on those bodies. He just had this feeling. What was below were not corpses, but bodies, and he could sense that the people below were not dead.
At the very top of the crowd below was Su Ming, who had his eyes closed as if he were asleep.
He was standing there, his body perfectly real, without feeling the slightest discomfort, but the people below were the real ones.
Su Ming had this feeling, and it was very strong; the flames below were even more intense than those on his body.
Besides Su Ming himself, there were many other people who had eaten him. They all had their eyes closed, looking very peaceful. They hadn't suffered any harm or encountered any danger; they were just like they were asleep.
Below, Su Ming saw Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Bai, Mu Ganjin, and many other unfamiliar people. These people made Su Ming realize that they were all people who had entered the ancient tomb and were trapped here, unable to get out. He didn't know what was trapping them.
Su Ming took a deep breath and stood up. Staying here indefinitely wasn't a solution. He couldn't reach down there; he could only watch, and just watching wouldn't solve anything.
From the very beginning, a bright light appeared not far from him, like the sun shining into a gloomy, dark little house during the day.
Without hesitation, Su Ming walked over there.
It looked far, but it was only a few steps away. It was a door, a door without a frame. Su Ming walked in.
The stark contrast made him squint.
Upon entering, Su Ming immediately became wary of his surroundings, preparing for any potential danger. The factory was peaceful, but that was precisely what made it so terrifying.
"Su Ming, you're in too? Wait, why are you back? Wait, so you weren't dead." The door to the small house next door opened, and Mu Bai walked out, his face full of surprise.
Su Ming had been missing for three years. Anyone who saw this would think that Su Ming was dead and would not have a good chance of him. But he was the most determined and survived.
"Mu Bai?" Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but only a sigh, because the Mu Bai here might not be the real Mu Bai, and he could not let his guard down.
"What's going on here? Isn't this an ancient tomb? Why does it feel like an underground city to me?" Su Ming asked.
"Let's talk as we walk. That's what I thought when I first came in too." Mu Bai smiled. It's normal to feel overwhelmed when you first arrive, and he felt the same way.
However, he has been here for two years now. It doesn't take that long outside, maybe just a few days, but the feeling he has experienced over the past few years is truly different.
Now very few things can move him emotionally.
If it were before, he would definitely be happy for Su Ming's return. Now, although he is still happy, he doesn't show it as obviously.
This is a sign of maturity, because he has been there for too long.
