Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 1042
Chapter 1042: Must Be Invincible
Su Mo spent some more time in the Illuminious Palace after the martial practice field before leaving.
He wanted to visit his father and Elder Wei but they were both in seclusion.
These aged martial artist apparently appreciated this cultivating environment more than the youngster.
Away from the Illuminious Palace, Su Mo visited the Firescorching Palace and the Darknight Palace.
The Firescorching Palace was completely empty. Su Mo questioned Fire One and learned the situation.
All the disciples of the Firescorching Palace had entered Sikong Yan’s Sky-burn Tower to practice the Firescorching Palace’s martial arts techniques of fire property.
Su Mo couldn’t help thinking the Firescorching Palace might become the most powerful in the near future. After all, the environment inside the Sky-burn Tower was a great help to the cultivation of martial arts techniques of fire property.
Other palaces also had their treasures in the past but most of them had been damaged or missing during ancient wars.
Even if they were still here, they couldn’t help everyone’s cultivating like the Sky-burn Tower could.
At last, Su Mo came to the Darknight Palace but Cai Yun was not there.
After inheriting the orthodoxy of Darknight the Great, Cai Yun had been training in seclusion. It was a critical period for her growth.
Su Mo didn’t disturb her.
After a tour to the three palaces, Su Mo returned to his residence.
Back inside the hall, he resumed his cultivating, striving for an early breakthrough to the Martial Royal Realm.
Time flew by and two months had passed.
Su Mo opened his eyes at the end of his training.
“Reaching the Martial Royal Realm is harder than I thought!”
Su Mo muttered to himself. After two months of cultivating, his Dark Force had condensed and his cultivation foundation had become very solid.
However, he attempted the bottleneck of the realm twice and consumed one billion Supreme Spiritual Stones but he failed.
At the second time, he found a dozen Spiritual Herbs with realm breaking effects from the jade bracelet but still he didn’t succeed.
This kind of Spiritual Herbs would be highly effective for any ordinary martial artist but it barely did anything for him, an Archean martial practice formed by 49 Spiritual Spirals.
“I’m afraid cultivating blindly just won’t work.”
Su Mo heaved a sigh. At this stage, cultivation required sedimentation and breakthrough needed opportunities.
To break through via blind cultivating was almost impossible.
Soon after, Su Mo began to study the treasures in the jade bracelet.
Swish!
A wave of his hand and a dozen jade slips appeared in front of him, neatly arranged on the floor.
Su Mo decided to pick a martial arts technique to practice. He hadn’t trained any martial arts technique for a long time. His combat strength was solely from his powerful Dark Force cultivation.
He picked up a jade slip and read carefully.
Heavenly Thunder Cut, an Imperial Upper martial arts technique, ideal for martial artists cultivating the force of thunder. The strikes are like the divine thunder falling from the nine heavens, with supernatural power…
“This must be a martial arts technique of the Thunderous Palace.” After reading the introduction of this technique, Su Mo shook his head. It was not for him at all.
He picked up another jade slip to read.
Red Fire Fist, an Imperial Upper martial arts technique. It combines true fires between heaven and earth. The ultimate of the Path of Fire-refinement…
Dragon-ridding Palm, an Imperial Upper martial arts technique. Its palm power is mighty and fierce, with the strength of the divine dragon. It can suppress all creatures in this world…
Ice Age Fist, an Imperial Upper martial arts technique of extreme ice property. It can easily block an area of one hundred thousand li with ice…
…
Su Mo read over ten martial arts techniques, one stronger than the other, each of which was earth-shattering enough to drive martial artists in the Firmament World crazy.
However, none of them touched Su Mo as they were just not for him.
His eyes brightened up as he began to read another jade slip.
Grand Firmament Swordplay, an Imperial Upper martial arts technique, created by Firmament Supreme Emperor. It combines heaven and earth and the Firmament, contains the nine heavens and the universe, and works on the true meaning of kendo…
Su Mo was excited as he read the introduction of this Grand Firmament Swordplay. This was the martial arts technique he needed.
However, this martial arts technique was obviously more profound and mysterious than the others. It must be very difficult to practice.
Su Mo was not afraid of its difficulty. He had plenty of time to train.
On the other hand, such an advanced swordplay should be enough for him for quite some years.
He wouldn’t need to learn another martial arts technique for at least ten years.
Setting his mind on this martial arts technique, Su Mo kept this jade slip of the Grand Firmament Swordplay and put the rest back into the jade bracelet.
Then he moved on to check weapons in the jade bracelet.
There were over 20 blades, swords, and spikes, all of the Imperial level, medium or lower. None of them was an Imperial Upper Divine Weapon.
Su Mo didn’t feel disappointed. Imperial Upper Divine Weapons were once wielded by the best fighters of the Firmament Palace in ancient times. When those fighters fell, their weapons were either missing or taken by those Trial Testers.
These Imperial weapons were not very useful for Su Mo since his Billion Demonic Sword was on par with any Imperial Medium Divine Weapon.
Of course, the Billion Demonic Sword was then far from its heydays. If he could wipe out the Netherworld Devil Sect, the sword might fully regain its power.
He kept one Imperial Medium Treasure Sword as a backup and left the rest in the jade bracelet.
This Imperial Medium Treasure Sword was made of pure gold, eight chi long, with a lifelike golden dragon carved in the hilt. Mighty and domineering.
Letters were depicted on the hilt. Su Mo took a closer look and saw the word Emperor.
This sword was known as the Emperor Sword.
Putting the Emperor Sword aside, Su Mo went on to check other treasures in the jade bracelet. Besides weapons, there was also internal armor, jade pendants, and ancient cauldrons.
Some were for offense and some others for defence. All of them were of the Imperial level, most of which were Imperial Medium.
Su Mo took his time to pick several treasures, including one suit of Imperial Medium internal armor, one Imperial Medium jade pendant, one pair of Imperial Medium boots, and one Imperial Medium black cauldron.
The first two were defensive treasures. The jade pendant could arrange a large defensive array and ignore any attack below the Martial Emperor Realm.
This defensive formation was not completely invincible. It had a time limit.
The pair of boots was a rare treasure that could improve offense, defense, and speed at the same time.
The last black cauldron was an offensive treasure. When Su Mo became powerful enough, he could directly melt Martial Emperors inside.
Looking at the jade slip, sword, internal armor, jade pendant, boots, and ancient cauldron, Su Mo couldn’t help smiling.
With so many extremely powerful treasures, it would be hard for him to find a match in the Firmament World.
Although he was not yet at the Martial Royal Realm, not many in the Firmament World could kill him.
