Warrior’s Promise

Time passed quickly. Su Mo sat cross-legged on the Natal Spiritual Sword and cultivated as he traveled.

He was traveling at a moderate pace as his main focus was to bring up his cultivation level.

He took the journey as a form of cultivation in seclusion.

As Su Mo continued to cultivate, his foundation in his cultivation level became more condensed.

He was not only condensing his cultivation but he was trying to comprehend his Devouring Ultimacy at the same time, as that was his base.

His Devouring Ultimacy had been enhanced to Rank 6 but he wanted to enhance it further.

One year later, Su Mo came to the border of the Dark Region and Infinite Region.

He went past the invisible shield on his Natal Sword and was back to Infinite Region.

When Su Mo was back to Infinite Region, his body shook and the power that had restricted his strength was released from him. His power had resumed to its peak.

West Dark Galaxy, True Sage Territory!

Su Mo headed straight toward True Sage Territory. A few months later, he reached True Sage Territory, and with the help of the Teleportation Formation, he went to Myriad Worlds Mountain.

He talked to no one as he traveled. After more than three months, he reached Myriad Worlds Mountain.

Su Mo walked out of the wormhole and looked at Myriad Worlds Mountain which he was familiar with.

Whoosh!

The moment Su Mo walked out of the wormhole, a figure in white came and stood before him.

It was a middle-aged man who looked refined. It was Bai Tiannan.

“Su Mo, have you been to Dark Region?” Bai Tiannan asked after he sized Su Mo up.

“Senior Brother Bai, I have indeed gone to Dark Region!” Su Mo nodded. He was surprised that Bai Tiannan knew where he had been to.

However, when he recalled that he had left his Spiritual Soul Tablet at Myriad Worlds Mountain, his doubts were cleared.

“Dark Region Star is a terrible place. It is good that you have returned safely!”

Bai Tiannan nodded. He then said with a smile, “Your cultivation level has been enhanced tremendously and you are now an End Realm Martial Sage. You have not let me down!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for your kind words!” Su Mo said politely as he cupped his fist at Bai Tiannan.

“Your strength is comparable to an Empty God’s now. I intend to go back to God’s Path two years later. When the time comes, I will bring you along with me!” Bai Tiannan said.

“Two years later? That’s pretty rash!” Su Mo was shocked when he heard what Bai Tiannan had said. It would be difficult for him to advance to the Empty God Realm within two years. Moreover, Firmament Sect would not be able to develop that quickly.

“It will be about time for me to go back. You are the most outstanding disciple in the Myriad Worlds Mountain and God’s Path is the best place for you to become more powerful!” Bai Tiannan said.

“Alright. I will be back to Myriad Worlds Mountain to look for Senior Brother two years later!” Su Mo nodded after pondering for a while.

It was his intention to go to God’s Path and he would be merely doing so earlier. Before he went to God’s Path, he had to ensure that Firmament Sect would be taken care of.

“Alright!”

Bai Tiannan nodded. In a flash, he flew to the palace nearby.

When Su Mo saw that Bai Tiannan had left, he entered the wormhole that would lead him to the Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Time passed quickly as he was being teleported.

Soon, he came to the Ancientspirit Galaxy and he headed straight to Star Guzhou.

Star Guzhou still looked the same. After Su Mo had returned to Star Guzhou, he quietly entered Firmament Sect without the knowledge of the ordinary Outer Disciples.

Su Mo had left Firmament Sect for three years and the mountain gate had been expanded several times.

More than 10 mountains surrounded the Outer Sect, and there were several palaces around. It looked magnificent.

Many disciples were in the mountains, and Su Mo saw that there were around 2,000,000 disciples when he used his spiritual senses to look around.

Although the scale had simply multiplied onefold, it was equivalent to the size of an average force.

…

A magnificent hall was situated at the Sacred Wild Mountain in Sacred Green Ring.

The magnificent hall was built using special rocks.

At that moment, many of the core leaders of Firmament Sect had gathered at the hall.

“Grand Supreme Elder, you are finally back!”

“Su Mo, many things have happened in Infinite Region for the past three years while you were away!”

“Mo’er, you seem to have obtained a higher cultivation level!”

“…!”

There were noises in the hall as all of them passed comments at Su Mo as he sat on the main seat. It was boisterous.

When Su Mo saw it, he lifted his hand to signal the people to quiet down.

Su Mo looked around and saw that Si Kongyan, Jiang Fengran, Wenren Tiandu, Zhan Luan, Emperor Shi, and Su Hong were present.

“Father-in-law, have you received news about Xi’er?” Su Mo asked

Before he left Firmament Sect, he had passed down the instruction to send their men out to look for Xi-er.

Su Mo was worried about Xi’er as she was nowhere to be found. Moreover, he would be going to God’s Path soon.

It was disturbing if he still could not find Xi’er.

“No. We did not manage to find anything!” Emperor Shi replied and shook his head.

Emperor Shi was worried as well. However, it was tough to search for a person in the Infinite Region or the vast universe.

When Su Mo heard Emperor Shi’s reply, he frowned and was even more worried about Xi’er.

Where has Xi’er gone to? Has she met with a mishap?

Su Mo was silent. He could not wait any longer. He had to think of a way to look for Xi’er.

“Father-in-law, has any major event taken place in Infinite Region?” Su Mo asked after he had calmed himself down.

“Many things have happened in Infinite Region in the past three years. Let me tell you about it!” Emperor Shi nodded. He knew that Su Mo had left Infinite Region. If it was not so, he would have known what had taken place.

After Emperor Shi pondered for a while, he said, “The Sorcerer Tribe, Ancient Demon Tribe, and Sun Moon Tribe have joined forces together because of you. They force the Dragon Tribe to get Long Teng and Xiao Xiao to tell them about your whereabouts!

The Dragon Tribe is not intimidated by the three forces and they show no regard for them. The two parties have gone to war umpteen times!

Many forces are implicated in the war and that has caused unrest in Infinite Region. The two parties have suffered heavy losses and many martial artists, including the Empty Gods, have been killed.”

Emperor Shi told Su Mo about the unrest in Infinite Region.

“Are Long Teng and Xiao Xiao doing fine?” Su Mo asked. Since the two parties had suffered heavy losses, that would put Long Teng and Xiao Xiao in danger.

“Yes. Both of them are powerful, and the Dragon Tribe is protecting them!” Emperor Shi said and shook his head.

“That’s great!” Su Mo nodded. He heaved a sigh of relief after learning that Long Teng and Xiao Xiao were safe.

“The Dragon Tribe values Long Teng. He has received the Chaotic Archosaur’s orthodox practice from the Dragon Tribe and he has cultivated the Archean Dragon God Skill. He is currently a King Sage and his strength is comparable to a Rank 2 Empty God’s!” Emperor Shi said, looking impressed.

Everyone looked pleased. Long Teng was blessed and he was a gift from God.

They wondered which of the two was more powerful between Su Mo and Long Teng.

“Is that so?” When Su Mo heard it, he smiled. That was a piece of great news. If Long Teng became more powerful, it would benefit Firmament Sect.

He would be leaving for God’s Path soon. With Long Teng to protect Firmament Sect, Su Mo knew that Firmament Sect would be safe.

“Su Mo, do you know that Long Teng has turned down the offer from the Dragon Tribe to become the next successor as the Tribe Leader?” Si Kongyan, who was in a red robe, interrupted with a smile.

Si Kongyan’s aura was deep. The Fire Dark Force in him was like a volcano and it was mighty.

The less powerful martial artists would not be able to sense his aura but Su Mo sensed it immediately.

Si Kongyan was already a Martial Sage at the Peak of Middle Realm and he was not far from the End Realm.

Not only had Si Kongyan reached the Middle Realm but Jiang Fengran, Wenren Tiandu had reached Middle Realm as well.

The only one lagging behind was Zhan Luan. He was a Beginning Realm Martial Sage and he had not caught up with the rest.

“Why did he turn down the offer?” Su Mo asked as he was surprised. If Long Teng became the successor as the Tribe Leader, he would rule over the entire Dragon Tribe and that was a great honor. However, he had rejected the offer.

“I think he has done it because of you. He knows your goal and he wants to follow you and not be tied down by the Dragon Tribe!”

Si Kongyan shrugged. He smiled and said, “In summary, I would say that Long Teng has not forgotten his roots!”
