Warrior’s Promise

“Brother Mo, I guess we’re even now!”

Pan Qing said with a smile. To recommend Su Mo to the Emperor Xuan Palace was a piece of cake for him.

“Thank you very much, brother Pan!” Su Mo expressed his gratitude.

Pan Qing shook his head and replied, “You’re welcome. We both got what we wanted.”

Pan Qing continued shaking his head

and left with his sister.

Su Mo used his Mind to check the jade badge and found his residential address.

It was No. 26582, District 19 which was regarded as the residence for outer disciples.

Su Mo located his residence by asking someone.

District 19 meant the 19th peak of the Outer Palace while No. 26582 was his home address.

While walking on the mountain path, Su Mo thought it would be better to change his appearance.

If he was to be identified by Shangguan Hao or the original 13th Elder, there would be dire consequences.

The muscles of Su Mo’s face moved. His face suddenly became square.

This was just an easy face-shifting trick.

Su Mo touched his face and was satisfied. A stranger could not recognize him now.

Although his aura remained unchanged, there was nobody in Emperor Xuan Palace who was familiar with his aura.

With an increase in his cultivation, Su Mo’s aura was completely different from what it had been four years ago. Even Xi’er could not have been able to recognize him only by his aura.

He shortly reached his residence, which was a delicate two-story tower.

This area was for outer disciples and these kind of towers were set neatly all across this peak.

He walked into his tower and found it quite clean, which saved the effort of cleaning.

Su Mo looked serious while sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Xi’er, daughter of the Palace Master and Holy Maiden of Emperor Xuan Palace must live in the Inner Palace. It would be difficult for Su Mo to meet her.

Over the next period of time, his priority would be improving his cultivation. His confidence would grow with his cultivation level.

Also, it was almost impossible for him to catch up with Shangguan Hao’s cultivation level. He must craft the Natal Spiritual Sword as soon as possible. In this way he could stand a chance to defeat Shangguan Hao 10 months later.

Moreover, he had to figure out the issue of his Spiritual Spirals. Otherwise, if he really could not upgrade to the Martial King Realm, it would be troublesome.

He then waved out a big pile of Spiritual Herbs.

They were the loot from the Devilish Land and worth tens of millions of Upper Spiritual Stones. He now decided to upgrade his cultivation.

“Devour!”

Su Mo immediately exerted his Devouring Martial Soul. Under the devouring power, the essence of the Spiritual Herbs rushed into his body uncontrollably.

Although there were only eight Spiritual Spirals left, he needed more Spiritual Qi to upgrade his cultivation at higher levels.

The Spiritual Qi was suffusing while the Spiritual Spirals surged. He was instantly immersed in cultivating.

Su Mo’s cultivation was based on consuming Spiritual Stones. The Devouring Martial Soul sped up the absorption of Spiritual Qi from the stones.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Su Mo and made him depressed. After his Devouring Martial Soul upgraded to the Heaven Class, he did not awaken any new ability.

With time, his cultivation reached the bottleneck of Lv 5 True Darkness Realm. He was so close to Lv 6.

However, the higher the cultivation level, the harder it was to upgrade.

After nearly one hour, he still did not break through the bottleneck.

“I can do it!”

Su Mo gnashed his teeth and took out another three million Upper Spiritual Stones. Spiritual Qi continuously rushed into his body.

The continuous supply of Spiritual Qi provided the only support in his attempts to break through the bottleneck.

Another hour later, he finally upgraded to Lv 6 True Darkness Realm. His strength surged again.

He then consolidated his cultivation for a while before going out for a stroll.

Of course, he would stroll with a purpose. He decided to search for the materials for the Natal Spiritual Sword. If these materials were available, he would purchase them.

Secondly, the sect must have had a Book Collection Pavilion, which usually had a collection of Martial Scrolls, ancient history records, and many other miscellaneous books.

Su Mo decided to look for some books that talked about the Archean martial practice.

He first asked someone and located the trading hall.

Soon, he came to the trading hall which was thronged with people. It was even busier than the Sky-sea Pavilion.

Shops were neatly arranged on both sides of the hall.

He walked into the hall, spotted the material shop and asked the deacon of the shop about the materials he needed.

The Central Continent was indeed a place where martial arts thrived the most in this world. Many materials were in stock.

He was thrilled and immediately bought ten shares of each material.

However, among the 500 kinds of materials for the Natal Spiritual Sword, there were still 13 kinds of them which even the Emperor Xuan Palace did not have.

“Only 13 short!”

Su Mo was quite relieved. As long as he collected all the materials, he would be confident to craft the Natal Spiritual Sword.

Of course, his craftsmanship still needed to be improved, but this was just a minor issue.

He then started to hang around in the trading hall to see if there was some treasure worth buying.

Su Mo stopped at a shop that sold Martial Scrolls. He had not practiced any other martial arts techniques for a long time, while the skills he had practiced could not keep up the pace with his cultivation level.

The Nirvana Swordplay was only a Lower Lv 6 technique. Now that Su Mo had countless Spiritual Stones, he was prepared to buy a higher level swordsmanship scroll.

He was not interested in practicing other types of techniques because it would be time-consuming.

He had not even practiced the Black Dragon Fist that Huangfu Qing had given him only because he was too busy.

There was a counter in this shop, which displayed numerous bundles of jade slips. Beside each bundle was a card that introduced the corresponding martial arts technique.

Su Mo read the cards carefully and then sighed inwardly.

He thought that there would be Royal techniques but the highest level of them was only Upper King.

“Hm?”

Just then, Su Mo’s eyes fell on a card and shone with excitement.
