Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo chatted with Ling Chang in the courtyard for some time. The two of them had agreed to return to the Cosmic World in the future.

However, that was on the pretext that their cultivation levels were high enough to contend with Tuoba Qingyun.

Although Su Mo had Tuoba Qingyun’s nephew, Tuoba Liuming, as a hostage in his Devouring Primordial Spirit, he had to make sure that he increased his strength.

“Su Mo, stay here and work on your cultivation while I go and find out if there are any good cultivation places in Palmy Branch.”

After some time, Ling Chang stood up and got ready to return to Jin Wu Mansion. Palmy Branch was a prosperous place and there had to be a number of places that were good for cultivation. It would be more beneficial to cultivate in those places than if one were to cultivate on their own.

“Alright. As long as there are such places, be it for cultivating on Rules, cultivation levels, or the change in time, you must inform me immediately.” Su Mo told Ling Chang. As long as he could enhance his strength, he would head over regardless of the destination.

There were powerful martial arts in Cloud Ridge World and there should have been places that were good for cultivation. If it were not so, the top powers would not have reached the Supreme Realm.

“Sure!” Ling Chang nodded. She intended to ask Reverend Jin Wu, her Senior Sister Lin Ya, or Second Senior Brother Xiao Yushu about it.

After Su Mo had sent Ling Chang out of the courtyard, he returned to his room as he intended to devour the Dawn Stones.

The array that he had activated in the courtyard was not powerful, but it could isolate him from the outside world.

After taking out a large number of Five-Elements Dawn Stones, Su Mo activated the Devouring Rules and Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit. All of a sudden, he was like a black hole as he devoured the heap of Dawn Stones.

Su Mo turned the Dawn Stones that he had devoured into pure Five Elements Energy and he started to refine them in his body.

Ever since Su Mo had merged with the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit, there was a great transformation to his body and martial arts. There was a change in the traits, and that had not only strengthened his power but smoothed the process of his cultivation.

Time passed quickly, and Su Mo’s cultivation level reached Rank 8 Middle True God Realm in no time. He was approaching Rank 8 Advanced True God Realm.

Shi Heng was looking at Wu Mansion from a garret that was not far away from Wu Mansion.

Since Wu Shan had cooped himself in the mansion, there was no way for Shi Heng to deal with him although he had many ideas of doing so!

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Shi Heng saw a beautiful lady walking toward Wu Mansion and it was none other than Ling Chang.

“Xuan Qing and Wu Shan seem to be on close terms!” Shi Heng muttered to himself when he saw Ling Chang. In that case, he had to be cautious and not act recklessly.

Su Mo stopped his cultivation when Ling Chang visited him at Wu Mansion again.

“Su Mo, I found out from Reverend Jin Wu that there are five good spots for cultivation in Palmy Star!” Ling Chang said immediately when she saw Su Mo.

“Oh? Where are they and what kind of places are these?” Su Mo asked curiously.

“Out of these five places, only two are suitable for us. The rest of the places are not suitable for our current cultivation levels!”

Ling Chang explained, “One of the cultivation spots is in Palmy City, and the other is somewhere in Palmy Star. They are known as Dhamma Hall and Myriad Holy Mountain.”

“Dhamma Hall and Myriad Holy Mountain? What is so special about them?” Su Mo asked.

“Dhamma Hall is a place for one to comprehend the Rules. It contains the Rules that the top powers left behind over the years. All the disciples have access to it…!” Before Ling Chang could complete her sentence, Su Mo interrupted her.

“Since the Rules have been left behind by the top powers, do they have the Life-and-Death Rule?” Su Mo asked immediately. The Life-and-Death Rule was crucial to bring Qian Xunyue back to life.

If Su Mo could comprehend the Life-and-Death Rule, he would not have to look for Zi Xiao anymore.

“I am not sure about that!” Ling Chang shook her head. She had never been to the place and she had no idea if the Life-and-Death Rule could be found there.

“I hope they have it there!” Su Mo took a deep breath. If the Life-and-Death Rule was available, given Su Mo’s talent, he would be able to comprehend it soon. In that case, Qian Xunyue could be resurrected in no time.

“Myriad Holy Mountain was constructed for the disciples of Palmy Branch to work on their cultivation levels. There is a mysterious array in Myriad Holy Mountain that gathers a large amount of Energy according to its properties.” Ling Chang continued to explain.

“Do they have the Chaotic Energy?” Su Mo asked. The Chaotic properties were rarely found as not many people took that cultivation path. Su Mo was concerned that if there was no Chaotic Energy around, he would have to refine them.

“I have enquired about that for you and the answer is no. However, you can refine it on your own!” Ling Chang replied as she shook her head.

“Alright!” Su Mo nodded and asked again, “Is there no Time Array in Palmy Branch given its might? Do they have something like the Spatiotemporal City where the speed of time can be hastened?”

“No!”

Ling Chang shook her head and replied softly, “It takes someone with profound Rules of Time to set up the Time Array. In this world, the most difficult rule to comprehend is the Rules of Time. Without the Spatiotemporal Primordial Spirit, it is impossible for one to have high attainment in the Rules of Time. Cloud Ridge World has a sturdier space than the Cosmic World thus, to hasten the speed of time here, one will require a higher attainment in the Rules of Time!”

“I see!” Su Mo sighed when he heard Ling Chang’s explanation. He began to appreciate the Spatiotemporal Sovereign more than ever.

“However, although there is no Time Array in Palmy Branch, we will not rule out the possibility that there may be one in Ancient Cloud Star!” Ling Chang said. Cloud Ridge World occupied a large area and there might be people who had high attainments in the Rules of Time.

“Maybe!”

Su Mo nodded and asked, “Which of them is in the city? Dhamma Hall or Myriad Holy Mountain?”

He intended to go to the nearest spot to take a look before heading to the other.

“The one in the city is Dhamma Hall. Let’s go together!” Ling Chang replied. Having said that, both she and Su Mo left Wu Mansion and headed toward Dhamma Hall.

Dhamma Hall was located in the southern part of the city. After the two of them had left Wu Mansion, they flew straight toward the south.

When Shi Heng saw Ling Chang and Su Mo flying toward the south, he started to ponder.

Are they heading to Dhamma Hall? Shi Heng reckoned that Ling Chang and Su Mo were heading to Dhamma Hall as they were flying toward the south. He left the garret and headed toward Dhamma Hall as well.

Dhamma Hall was an important spot in Palmy Branch. It occupied a large area and looked grand.

Dhamma Hall was unique, and there were no other buildings around it. There was a sign on the gate that had the words Dhamma Hall written on it and it looked impressive.

No one was standing guard at the gate as Dhamma Hall was opened to all the disciples. Since Palmy City comprised the disciples of Palmy Branch, there were no outsiders around.

I hope I can find the Life-and-Death Rule here!

As Su Mo looked at Dhamma Hall, he took a deep breath.. Both he and Ling Chang then walked into Dhamma Hall.
