Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo felt the world spin around him as he entered the crack of the Boundary Space. Things around him was chaos and he struggled to maintain his stability of his body.

Su Mo calmed his mind and sped through the dark space.

The Boundary Space was no ordinary array. Not only did it separate Deity Plane and the universe, it also harbored strange and mysterious forces of the world.

There was no direction to where Su Mo was headed and Su Mo could only rely on his Spiritual Senses to fly through the crack.

After breaking through to the Rank 3 Empty God Realm, Su Mo’s Fighting Soul had transformed to the Primordial Spirit and his Spiritual Senses had become Holy Senses.

Despite that, his Holy Senses failed to pick up anything in the dark region.

The Boundary Space appeared to not only separate the universe and Deity Plane, but it had a power of its own.

After all, the Deity Plane relied on 9999999999 arrays that sucked energy from various stars. As such, the Spiritual Qi from these stars had to travel somewhere.

Otherwise, Spiritual Qi of Deity Plane would be too dense, Deity Plane would only be an ideal place for cultivation and it would not be suitable for a deity.

Su Mo flew continuously. After a few hours, the air in front of him started to circulate wildly.

Terrifying air streaks surrounded him and as he flew, the universe and space around him spun quickly.

Su Mo could not control his body despite being a Rank 3 Empty God. His mind spun and hurt his head,

Bam!

After a long while, Su Mo felt his body hit a strong ground before he stopped spinning.

“Where is this?”

Su Mo shook his head and tried to stabilize himself as he stood up.

Lifting his head up, Su Mo realized that he wasn’t in some grassy plain but in the middle of an ancient palace.

Strong winds blew in the palace and air waves blocked his vision. It was as though a tornado was brewing in the palace.

“He he, it has been a few thousand years. Someone has finally come!”

Right at that moment, a light laughter reverberated through the palace. Su Mo had not completely recovered from his dizziness when a long black whip suddenly whipped his body from his front.

Su Mo’s heart jumped in fright and at the next instant, the long whip wrapped around his body and pulled him forward with a jerk.

Shoosh!

Su Mo’s body was pulled directly to the front of the palace. His eyes widened in shock and he sucked in a cold breath of air to feel his heart lift in spirits.

All of a sudden, Su Mo realized that he was amidst a cluster of buildings where small individual palace surrounded him.

He narrowed his eyes and focused his vision on a young man in front of him.

The young man wore a yellowish, silver robe. He was rather chubby with a round face and his cheeks squashed his tiny eyes.

Su Mo surveyed the fat yellow shirt young man and found the young man looking at him too.

“How did you come as a Rank 3 Empty God?” A shocked look crossed the young man’s eyes as he asked in curiosity.

It was common knowledge that a person had to have a cultivation realm beyond the Empty God Realm to reach the Deity Plane.

However how as it possible that the man in the palace was only a Rank 3 Empty God?

The chubby young man was completely surprised. He had supervised the Ascending Hall for a few thousand years and had finally met the first man from the world below, only for the man to be a mere Rank 3 Empty God.

“I … I managed to get someone’s help to reach here!” Su Mo conjured up a lie as he stammered.

The man in front of him appeared to be a human whose cultivation rank was so high, Su Mo could not grasp. As such, Su Mo had to be careful.

“Someone’s help?” The chubby man frowned in suspiciosn and disbelief. However, he did not know much of the world below and did not probe further.

With another glance at Su Mo, he asked, “you have the aura of Chaotic Energy around you. Did you train the Chaotic Tribe’s cultivation way?”

“I cultivated the surface level of skills of the Chaotic Tribe but I have no relationship to the Chaotic Tribe!” Su Mo cupped his fist to the man and smiled. He would not admit that he was the Chaotic Tribe. After all, Su Mo did not understand much of Deity Plane.

“I see!”

The chubby man nodded his head and said, “since you are not a Chaotic Tribe member, are you willing to enter the Ancient Kingdom God Hall?”

“Ancient Kingdom God Hall?” Su Mo was surprised at the man’s words and he wore a hesitant look on his face.

He had just arrived at the hall and did not understand anything. Why would he be willing to join a superpower!

“You don’t have a choice. Since you are a human and you arrived at Deity Plane from the Ancient Kingdom God Hall Ascending Hall, you have to enter the sect!’ The chubby young man shrugged with a stoic face.

Ascending Halls were present in every area and superpower. If anyone from the world below entered Deity Plane, they would be attracted by the forces of these Ascending halls and use it was a way to teleport to Deity Plane.

However, there was an unspoken law that superpowers must send tribe members to their respective tribes when they arrive in the Ascending Hall.

For instance, if Su Mo had said that he was the Chaotic Tribe, he would be sent to the Chaotic Deity Faction.

On the other hand, had Su Mo said that he was Demon Tribe, he would be sent to the Ancient Demon State.

Su Mo was a human who had no connections to the Chaotic Tribe and hence the chubby man had insisted that Su Mo join his superpower.

After all, it was common knowledge that anyone who came from the other world would be a top talent there.

The Ancient God had instructed that if any human ascended from the other world, they should be kept as much as possible. As such, the chubby man had invited Su Mo to join the superpower.

“Sir, I just came to Deity Plane and do not understand anything. Why don’t you tell me what superpower Ancient Kingdom God Hall is before you ask me to enter?” Su Mo’s face was serious as he spoke.

“That is true!”

The chubby man’s face fell and he nodded his head as he continued, “come with me.”

With that, the chubby man turned around and walked out of the hall. Su Mo helplessly followed the man.

As he walked through the hall, Su Mo observed the environment of Deity Plane.

There were nine suns hovering in the sky, each of them shining with a blinding light.

The space there was strong and hard and it was about ten thousand times stronger than the space in Infinite Region.

Even at his cultivation rank, Su Mo could feel the restrictive forces on his body as he walked.

Origin Energy circled in the air, however Su Mo could tell that the Origin Energy there was different.

“Flying in such a tough space must be hard!” Su Mo thought to himself as his face hardened.

However, Su Mo was not shocked by what he saw.

After all, this was Deity Space. If the space was not strong enough, a regular Hall Spirit would destroy Deity Plane with a single slap.

In other words, the toughness of the space restricted the powers of a martial artist and it reduced the destruction powers of anyone.

Su Mo used his Spiritual Senses to get a sense of the strong restrictive forces in the space.

He could only spread his Spiritual Senses for about ten thousand feet from where he was.

At this, Su Mo was at a loss for words. However, there was nothing that he could do. The rigidity of the space affected everyone, not only him.

The chubby young man led Su Mo through the area and quickly arrived at another side palace.

This side palace was old and cold, with only a few futons and wooden chairs as furnishings.

“Sit!”

The chubby young man sat first and signaled for Su Mo to take a seat.

Su Mo nodded his head and sat down on a nearby wooden chair.

“What is your name?” The man stared at Su Mo and asked.

“Shangguan Hao.” Su Mo replied. He did not reveal his real name as he was at risk in Deity Plane with Di Yihun around.

The young man nodded his head and his voice deepened. “The Ancient Kingdom God Hall is considered a rather strong superpower in Sky Pool Holy Court. There are many experts around and it would be a good starting point for you.”

“Sky Pool Holy Court?” Su Mo’s heart jumped instantly. He recalled Ling Chang saying before that she was at Heavenly Lake Dynasty.

“That’s right. Deity Plane has Nine Great Regions. Sky Pool Holy Court is the largest region and the Ancient Kingdom God Hall is considered a rather strong superpower in the eighty-one sections of Sky Pool Holy Court!” the young man nodded his head.

“What are the Nine Great Regions?” Su Mo asked curiously.

“Chaotic Deity Faction, Ancient Demon State, Nether God Court, Sky Tyrant Court, Undying Court, Sky Dragon Court, Reincarnation Court, Sky Pool Holy Court.”

The man swiftly explained. He did not hide a common fact that everyone knew. Su Mo would know such information in time.
