Warrior’s Promise

The main gate of the Emperor Xuan Palace was incredibly magnificent while the sect itself covered over a hundred peaks.

A path paved with white jade connected all peaks to make it look as if the peaks were one.

The Emperor Xuan Palace looked like a fairyland in a dreamworld.

As Su Mo approached the main gate, a majestic and overwhelming aura attacked him.

The imposing manner and majesty told him that this sect was one of the strongest powers in the world. It was the absolute dominator within hundreds of thousands of kilometers around.

The main gate stood on the halfway point of the frontmost mountain, which was about a thousand meters tall.

More than a thousand stairs stretched from the ground to the main gate.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Pan brother and sister led Su Mo to the stairs and landed on the ground.

“Brother Mo, the Emperor Xuan Palace sets an Air-sealing Formation that forbids disciples under Martial Royal Realm to fly above the sect.” Pan Qing said to Su Mo.

“Air-sealing Formation?” Su Mo was surprised that the sect had such a strict rule.

“Brother Mo, your cultivation level is at the same level as my brother’s, so I don’t think it will be a problem for you to join our sect!” Pan Rou said with a smile.

“I hope so. We will be fellow disciples then!” Su Mo replied with a smile.

“Yeah! Let’s go!” Pan Qing said.

Then, they ascended the stairs to the main gate.

While Su Mo was climbing the stairs, he tried to rise to the air and failed because he was pulled downward by a strong force.

“It’s indeed not simple!” Su Mo was surprised and started to be cautious.

He had to be careful in the Emperor Xuan Palace because this place was not the same as the Celestialspirit Sect where he had someone to watch his back.

Once his identity was exposed to the public, he would have nowhere to run and be killed.

Moments later, they arrived at the main gate which was guarded by two disciples.

Su Mo sized the guards up quickly and found out that one was at Lv 7 True Darkness Realm, while the other was at Lv 8 True Darkness Realm.

He was greatly impressed by the Emperor Xuan Palace which had two high-level True Darkness Realm disciples guard the main gate.

The guard noticed that Su Mo had no waist badge and then thundered, “Stop! You’re not an Emperor Xuan Palace disciple!”

Su Mo stopped walking and looked at Pan Qing.

Pan Qing stepped forward and saluted with both hands. “Brothers, this is my friend. I’m taking him to the entrance test.”

“The entrance test?” The guard sized Su Mo up and then nodded his assent.

There were many people taking others to the sect to participate in the entrance test!

“Thank you, Senior Brothers!”

Pan Qing saluted again, and then the three people walked through the main gate.

They trod on the path paved with white jade and headed directly toward the Examination Hall of the sect.

“Brother Mo, what’s the level of your Martial Soul? It’s hard to pass the exam with a Martial Soul lower than Rank 5 Earth Class!” Pan Qing asked while walking.

“Heaven Class!” Su Mo answered with a smile.

Pan Qing nodded upon hearing this. He was just casually asking because he knew that Su Mo’s Martial Soul could not be lower than Rank 5 Earth Class.

Su Mo saw a huge number of True Darkness Realm disciples while walking on the mountain path. He could see the strength of the Emperor Xuan Palace from them.

Compared to the Emperor Xuan Palace, the Celestialspirit Sect was not even worth mentioning.

To his knowledge, Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm martial artists could already stand at the top of the East Continent and look down upon the other martial artists.

However, he estimated that there should be a large number of high-level Martial Royal Realm experts in the Emperor Xuan Palace.

Su Mo and the other two people walked extremely fast and arrived at the Examination Hall quickly.

There were already many disciples in line to take the test, and Su Mo waited for two hours for his turn.

“Name?”

A serious looking elder who sat in front of a huge table asked Su Mo without raising his head.

“Mo Su!”

The elder then raised his head as his eyes shone a light-yellow light and sized Su Mo up.

Su Mo was slightly shocked as he felt like he had been seen through. He immediately understood that the elder must have some sort of eye-related Martial Soul or practiced some profound Eying Skill.

Su Mo took a deep breath and tried hard to ease his feelings so that he did not show any nervousness.

After a short while, the elder’s brow slightly furrowed, and he looked into Su Mo’s eyes, and said, “Your Martial Soul is weird, but its level is qualified.”

Su Mo nodded and felt glad that the elder did not delve into his Martial Soul.

“You have eight Spiritual Spirals. Did you adapt the Archean martial practice?”

Su Mo answered hurriedly, “I happened to have a secret skill and then practiced it, hence I have eight Spiritual Spirals.”

“There were a few disciples in the Emperor Xuan Palace who also adapted the Archean martial practice, but none of them succeeded.”

The elder shook his head and said, “You can join us, but here’s my advice: abandon the other seven Spiritual Spirals as soon as possible!”

Su Mo’s heart sank upon hearing this. Again?

Yin Tianchou said this to him in the Devilish Land. He planned to exchange some knowledge about this with Wenren Tiandu, who also adapted the Archean martial practice, but the war waged by Cold-blood Hall forced him to come here.

However, now that he had become an Emperor Xuan Palace disciple, he could figure out this Archean martial practice in the future.

“Thanks for the advice, elder!” Su Mo saluted with both hands folded.

“Alright!”

The elder nodded slightly and then flipped his hand to reveal a palm-sized jade pendant.

The elder used his Mind to input information into it and then handed it over to Su Mo.

“Mo Su, you’re now an outer disciple of the Emperor Xuan Palace! Your information is in this jade badge.”

“Thanks, elder!”

Su Mo took over the jade pendant and saluted again before walking out of the Examination Hall.

Su Mo clenched his fists secretly. He finally entered the Emperor Xuan Palace, which was the first stage of his plan.

“Where are you, Xi’er?” Su Mo swept the buildings with his eyes and asked inwardly.
