Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

In the subsequent days, Su Mo felt frustrated.

Every three to five days, someone would come to Palmy City to challenge him.

Those who had challenged him were the gifted geniuses and top powers below the Supreme Being Realm. They had the intention of defeating Su Mo and using him as a stepping stone to creating a name for themselves in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
However, more than 10 people had challenged Su Mo and all of them had been badly beaten.

No one could take even one blow from Su Mo and they were defeated straightaway.

‘The disciples in Palmy Branch were accustomed to Su Mo’s mighty combat strength and they were no longer surprised by the outcome.

‘As more and more gifted geniuses were defeated by Su Mo, Su Mo earnt his title as the Top Martial Artist below the Supreme Being Realm.

Although the disciples from the other branches were not convinced by Su Mo’s power, the disciples in Palmy Branch had accepted him as the Top Martial Artist below the Supreme Being Realm.
All the gifted geniuses from the various branches continued to flood in to challenge Su Mo and they ended up being defeated. News about it spread around and Su Mo became more well-known in the entire Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
That said, it was Wu Shan’s name that was famous.

Far away from Palmy City.

Zi Xiao stood on a hill and looked in the direction of Palmy City.

It must be him!

Zi Xiao looked indifferent. He had been there for 10 days and had seen two people challenging Wu Shan and the blows that Wu Shan had thrown out.

Although he had not met Wu Shan, from the aura that had been emitted from the Chaotic Sword Qi, he was certain that Wu Shan was Su Mo.

Although the aura from the Chaotic Sword Qi was different to that of Su Mo, the nature of the aura remained. Thus, it confirmed Zi Xiao’s suspicion that Wu Shan was Su Mo.

“He knows who to look for to back him up!”

Zi Xiao muttered to himself. Before he arrived, he had found out that Wu Shan was the Pro-Disciple of Reverend Jin Wu, the Chief Elder in Palmy Branch.

Reverend Jin Wu was a disciple of Buddha Sunyata, who was in the Headquarters.

Zi Xiao’s heart became heavy when he learned about it. It would be difficult to deal with Su Mo since Su Mo had such powerful people to back him up.

After pondering for a while, Zi Xiao flew up to the starry sky and left Palmy Star in a flash.

Su Mo was protected by Reverend Jin Wu in Palmy Branch and Zi Xiao could not kill him in Palmy City. Thus, he had to head back to discuss with Di Yihun about it.

Palmy Star was far away from Ancient Cloud Star and it took Zu Xiao eight days to return to the Headquarters.

‘Ata secret chamber in the Silver Palace, Di Yihun and Zi Xiao were sitting opposite each other.

“Di Yihun, I am certain that Wu Shan is Su Mo!” Zi Xiao said with a grim look.

When Di Yihun heard what Zi Xiao had said, he went silent. He had expected it to be so.

“What do you intend to do?” Zi Xiao asked. He added, “Su Mo is currently a Pro-Disciple of Reverend Jin Wu, the Chief Elder in Palmy Branch, and Reverend Jin Wu is Buddha Sunyata’s disciple.”
Di Yihun did not say a word after hearing what Zi Xiao had said. Since Su Mo had a strong backing, they could not deal with him openly unless Young Master Liu Yun stepped in to help them.
However, Young Master Liu Yun would not be kind enough to do so as he did not want to offend Buddha Sunyata.

‘Thus, they had to depend on themselves and not Young Master Liu Yun if they wanted to deal with Su Mo.

“Currently, there are two options for us!” Di Yihun replied solemnly.

“What are they?” Zi Xiao asked.

“The first option is to assassinate him. We have to think of a way to monitor his movements. The minute he leaves Palmy Branch, we can take action.”

Di Yihun sighed and said, “However, if he stays put in Palmy City, we will have to wait for the Headquarters Selection.”

“Do you think Su Mo will take part in it?” Zi Xiao asked.

“He will!” Di Yihun replied confidently. Since Su Mo was in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, he would have the desire to get into the Headquarters.

“The Headquarters Selection will only take place in another 40 years. He will definitely leave Palmy City during this period of time. It is impossible for him to stay put in the city and not go out at all.” Zi Xiao said.

“You never know. He is currently Reverend Jin Wu’s disciple and he has no lack of resources. With someone to guide him, he may continue to cultivate in seclusion to enhance his cultivation level.” Di Yihun commented. He felt pressured as Su Mo’s strength increased tremendously and he would soon be
able to catch up with him.

Although Di Yihun had reached the Advanced Supreme Being Realm, he was far from the Supreme Realm. It was difficult to cross over the realm.
He would not be able to have a breakthrough if he had to depend on himself. That was the reason for his desire to join the Headquarters and be their disciple.

When that happened, he would be able to get hold of the precious resources from the Headquarters and receive guidance from the Sovereigns. That would make it tenfold easier for him to reach the Supreme Realm.
Even so, Su Mo could catch up with him.

Di Yihun would need 300 to 500 years to reach the Supreme Realm and by then, Su Mo would have reached the Advanced Supreme Being Realm.

“In this case, we can only deal with him at the Headquarters Selection!” Zi Xiao sighed. Su Mo was a thorn in his flesh and he felt agitated if Su Mo were to remain alive.

“Go and place some spies around Palmy City to monitor Su Mo’s movements. The minute he leaves Palmy City, we have to be notified immediately!” Di Yihun instructed Zi Xiao.

“Leave that to me!” Zi Xiao nodded. That was a simple task. They merely had to pay some ordinary martial artists to be their spies.

After Zi Xiao and Di Yihun had come up with a detailed plan, Zi Xiao left the secret chamber.

Su Mo was frustrated. He wanted to cultivate in peace but every three to five days, someone would visit him to challenge him. He was thus unable to cultivate peacefully.
He had no choice but to hang a banner at his palace with the words written, “I do not accept any challenges. Wait if you wish to.”

‘When the people who had gone to challenge Su Mo saw the words on the banner, they left after they failed to meet Su Mo after sending several invitations to him.
Some of them were persistent but they left after they had waited in futile for two weeks.

Although those people were confident about winning, they could not do anything as Su Mo refused to show up.

After some time, no one came to challenge Su Mo. Finally, he could enjoy some peace.

Su Mo shut his eyes in the secret chamber, and the Chaotic Power Source in his body flowed rapidly. He was comprehending the Life and Death Rule.

After some time, he opened his eyes.

This is way too slow!

$u Mo felt helpless. Without any reference, it would be impossible for him to have great attainments in the Life and Death Rule if he were to rely on himself.

His Life and Death Rule was currently at Rank 1 Great Completion Realm. To move on to Rank 2 Beginning Realm, he would need another 80 years!

For him to comprehend the Life and Death Rule to the level of the Devouring Rules, he would need a few thousand years or more!

As Su Mo did not possess the Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit, it was difficult for him to comprehend the Life and Death Rule. He was merely groping around.

This Rule was different from the Rules at Dhamma Hall where one could comprehend the Rules through the power that was emitted from the statutes..
