Chapter 1729 - Xu Wushen
Chapter 1729: Xu Wushen
Su Mo was taken completely by surprise when he saw a huge palm print capture the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda.
His heart only relaxed once he heard the Grand Priest’s curses and Xu Wushen’s light and magnetic voice.
He had managed to escape his dangerous position as at the most important moment, Xu Wushen had acted out to save him.
In the span of a breath, the huge palm that had grabbed onto the Seven-colored Pagoda released it and disappeared.
Su Mo allowed his spiritual senses to spread through the air and he found that he was on a mountain.
This mountain was in the Triple Deities Sect’s Sky City and it was about 100,000 feet tall. White, dense clouds surrounded the mountain, making it look like a godly mountain.
At that point, the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was situated on the peak of the mountain.
With a mental thought, Su Mo instantly left the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda and appeared on the mountain peak.
He kept the pagoda and looked in front of him to see a palace in the distance. Strange purple stones surrounded the palace and formed a short wall around it.
At that point, a young man wearing a purple robe was looking back at him on a stone table in the yard.
This purple-robed young man was tall and handsome. His eyes sparkled brightly and contained a mysterious sense of depth.
The cultivation rank of this man was a deep abyss that Su Mo could not ascertain, and the man gave him a light and wise sense.
Could this man be an Empty God?
Su Mo’s heart was shocked and also doubtful. The man was in the Triple Deities Sect, how could he have saved him?
This star was far away from the starry sky that Su Mo was in. If Su Mo had to fly through the starry sky, he would need at least half a month of time. However, the man had actually managed to teleport a palm print to save him even though he was physically far away from where Su Mo was.
That must be some godly means!
Step! Step! Step!
Su Mo strode into the yard and appeared before the purple-robed young man.
“Greetings to senior!” Su Mo cupped his fists towards the purple-robed man.
“Sit!” The purple-robed man nodded his head slightly and gestured for Su Mo to sit on a stone stool beside him.
Su Mo immediately sat down and stared intently at the man. He had not denied Su Mo’s greeting and hence, he must be Xu Wushen.
However, he had not expected Xu Wushen to be so young as he looked like a young man that was only in his twenties.
“Thank you for saving me senior!” Su Mo thanked sincerely.
“We are fellow sect members, I shall lend you a hand when I can!” Xu Wushen shook his head and nonchalantly said.
With that, he sighed out loud and said, “You got yourself into deep trouble this time. Whether or not you can survive is up to your own abilities!”
“Please give me some guidance!” Su Mo cupped his fists towards Xu Wushen. He was confused, didn’t Xu Wushen just save him? Was he not safe already?
“You have angered the Sorcerer Tribe deeply and they will not let you go. I alone cannot save you!” Xu Wushen sighed. The Sorcerer Tribe was too strong and the Triple Deities Sect alone was not able to stand against it.
Furthermore, he wasn’t the leader of the Triple Deities Sect, and he could not allow the sect to become enemies with the Sorcerer Tribe for an outsider like Su Mo.
Su Mo quietly took his words in. However, Xu Wushen’s words hinted at a slight hope for him.
“Luckily, Wu Lun had conducted a large-scale massacre this time and tried to refine an entire star for himself. That was pure madness, but it could be an opportunity for all the other superpowers to suppress the Sorcerer Tribe!”
Xu Wushen’s eyes sparkled as he continued, “I will handle the subsequent matters. What you must do now is to raise your strength and prepare for the Sky Dragon Contest!
“Understood!” Su Mo nodded his head. It seemed like Xu Wushan wanted to use this incident as an opportunity to ally the superpowers together to suppress the Sorcerer Tribe and pressure the Sorcerer Tribe to let Su Mo off.
However, that seemed like a difficult task.
The Sorcerer Tribe hated Su Mo to the bone and they would not let Su Mo off.
Xu Wushen narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Mo, “However, the Sorcerer Tribe will not let you off and I can only help you delay until the Sky Dragon Contest. By then, the geniuses of the Sorcerer Tribe will target you. Therefore, you must not lose at the Sky Dragon Contest, if you lose, you will die!”
Su Mo instantly stood up and cupped his fists towards Xu Wushen, “Thank you senior, I will not lose!:
Su Mo’s words hit the nail on the head and his eyes brimmed with confidence. After a few exchanges of blows with experts, he was more confident in his strength.
As long as he could raise his cultivation rank by two more realms, he could defeat the deadly geniuses in the Sage-to-be Realm.
“Not a bad assumption. I hope you will be able to do so!” Xu Wushen sighed. If Myriads World Mountain had not arranged for him to work with Su Mo and Jiang Shenye, he wouldn’t have to exert so much effort either.
As a member of the Triple Deities Sect, he preferred for Jiang Shenye to complete the mission. That was because if Jiang Shenye succeeded, the ancient Higher Grade Dragon Vein would remain at the Triple Deities Sect.
However, if Su Mo completed the mission, they would have to hand over the Ancient Dragon Vein to another superpower.
Yet, compared to Jiang Shenye, Xu Wushen looked more highly upon Su Mo because Su Mo’s strength was evidently much higher than Jiang Shenye’s, although they were in the same cultivation rank.
“I will not disappoint senior!” Su Mo assured seriously.
“Mm!” Xu Wushen nodded his head and said, “After the Sky Dragon Contest is over and if you successfully complete your mission, I will bring you back to Myriad World Mountain. As for the future, I won’t be able to protect you if you remain in Ancientspirit Galaxy!”
Su Mo nodded his head again. He knew that Xu Wushen would not offend the Sorcerer Tribe for him.
“Stay in the mountain for half a month. You can leave freely after half a month as you will not be in danger then!” Xu Wushen said.
“Alright!” Su Mo nodded.
With that, Xu Wushen did not converse with Su Mo any longer and waved his hand dismissively, indicating for Su Mo to leave.
Su Mo cupped his fists towards the Empty God and left the yard.
Once Su Mo left the yard, Xu Wushen sat quietly without moving.
Around 2 hours later, he sighed heavily and muttered to himself, “Three years. I have three years left before I have to leave.”
A hundred years ago, he was about to leave the galaxy and head over to the ‘God’s Path’, from where he would not return. However, the sect leader had been injured and there was no one to lead the sect. As such, Xu Wushen agreed with the sect leader that he would remain at the sect for a hundred years.
These hundred years were almost up and there were three more years left until their agreed date.
A few moments later, Xu Wushen stood up and headed over to the space in front of him. As he took a step out, his body vanished into thin air.
….
Once Su Mo left Xu Wushen, he arrived at the foot of a hundred-thousand foot tall mountain and dug a cave for himself.
He sat down cross-legged in the cave as his face darkened.
This time, he was really fighting for his life in hell. He was in grave danger and thankfully, he had been saved.
Since Xu Wushen was helping him, he did not have to worry anymore and he could devote himself to raising his cultivation rank.
Only if he raised his cultivation rank rapidly would he have the possibility of living.
He not only had to win the Sky Dragon Contest, he also had to complete his mission successfully and make the Sorcerer Tribe suffer a crushing defeat.
Wu Fengtian and Wu Qiong, the other geniuses below 100 years old, as well as the other Sorcerer Tribe geniuses would not escape death delivered by his hand.
“I will have to break through to the Rank 6 Martial Honorable Realm within 4 months!”
After taking a deep breath, Su Mo slowly calmed himself down before he shut his eyes.
The Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill and the thick five elemental Dark Force circulated in his body day by day.
Very quickly, Su Mo became completely absorbed in his own cultivation.
