Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
At the foot of the Suspended Holy Mountain in the Alliance Headquarters.
Pom!
There was a loud thud as someone landed on the ground, his face covered in dust.
He was none other than Zi Xiao.
“Su Mo, I will kill you someday!”
Zi Xiao staggered to get up from the ground. He looked pale and, apparently, he was severely injured.
As he possessed the Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit and had comprehended the Life and Death Rule, the ordinary severe injuries would not affect him. It was so as his Spiritual Soul would not be injured.
However, this time around, in order for him to escape, he had chosen to destroy his physical body. By doing so, his Spiritual Soul had been badly affected.
He would not be able to break through his cultivation level to reach the Advanced Supreme Being Realm within 10 years.
He was full of hatred!
He was furious!
He was about to break through his cultivation level to the Advanced Supreme Being Realm and he had great confidence in becoming a disciple of the Headquarters. However, he had been severely injured.
Basically, he would not be able to have a breakthrough before the Headquarters Selection and his dream of becoming a disciple of the Headquarters had been dashed.
“Su Mo, I expected you to be powerful, but your strength is beyond what I was thinking!”
Shortly, Zi Xiao took a deep breath. He would take it as a lesson and lear to be smarter. Although he had failed at the attempt, he would have other opportunities in the future.
Zi Xiao looked at a Golden Palace on the Suspended Holy Mountain with a yearning desire.
The Palace belonged to Tai Ying Sovereign, the only Kismet Master who had cultivated the Life and Death Rule.
Zi Xiao’s dream was to learn from Tai Ying Sovereign. Once he became Tai Ying Sovereign’s disciple, Su Mo would be no match for him.
On top of that, his status in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance would be on par with that of Young Master Liu Yun, and he no longer would need to be enslaved to him.
After Zi Xiao had calmed down, he flew toward Suspended Holy Mountain.
Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang had a smooth journey back to Palmy Branch and they arrived at the gate of Jin Wu Mansion.
“Junior Brother Wu Shan, Junior Sister Xuan Qing, I am not interested in whatever names you are known as. Just be careful in the future as that guy may look for another opportunity to harm you,” Lin Ya told Su Mo and Ling Chang.
“Senior Sister, not to worry. Zi Xiao is not powerful enough to deal with us. We will be careful,” Su Mo replied.
“You can tell our Teacher about it and ask him to help you to track Zi Xiao down,” Lin Ya said.
“Senior Sister, we do not wish to trouble Teacher. We can manage it on our own,” Ling Chang replied softly. She and Su Mo reckoned that Zi Xiao was at the Headquarters as he was with Young Master Liu Yun.
Thus, they did not need Reverend Jin Wu’s help. Moreover, Young Master Liu Yun came from strong family background.
“In that case, I shall not say another word!” Lin Ya shook her head and walked into Jin Wu Mansion.
Su Mo and Ling Chang looked at each other and they could read each other’s minds.
“If my conjecture is right, Zi Xiao and Di Yihun must be at the Headquarters,” Su Mo said.
“The Headquarters is particular in recruiting the disciples. I believe they are not disciples yet,” Ling Chang commented.
“Since they are still at the Headquarters, they must be planning to get in,” Su Mo said.
The Headquarters Selection!
Ling Chang and Su Mo thought of the Headquarters Selection. They believed that Zi Xiao and Di Yihun would take part in the Selection.
“Even if we don’t make it to the Headquarters, we must not let them succeed,” Su Mo said with a grave look. It would be a disaster if Di Yihun and Zi Xiao were to become disciples of the Headquarters.
If the two of them became disciples of the Headquarters, Su Mo and Ling Chang would not be able to kill them and instead, they would be killed by Zi Xiao and Di Yihun.
“Hmm!” Ling Chang nodded. She and Su Mo were a united front and their enemies were Zi Xiao and Di Yihun.
“Let’s get cracking and work on our cultivation. We must enhance our strength before the Selection,” Su Mo said with a sigh. He and Ling Chang immediately went their separate ways and returned to their own palaces.
After Su Mo was back in his palace, he started to cultivate in seclusion. He condensed his cultivation level and comprehended his Devouring Rules at the same time.
He focused on his cultivation and paid no attention to the things that were happening in the outside world.
In the blink of an eye, four years passed.
This day, Reverend Jin Wu’s voice rang in his ears.
“The three of you, come and see me.”
Reverend Jin Wu’s voice resounded in the secret chamber. Apparently, he was referring to Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang.
When Su Mo heard Reverend Jin Wu’s voice, he opened his eyes and let out a mouthful of stale air.
For the past four years, his strength had been enhanced, although he had not had another breakthrough in his cultivation level.
‘When one reached the Supreme Being Realm, it would be difficult for them to progress.
‘The power of one’s Rules would determine their combat strength at the Supreme Being Realm.
Su Mo walked out of the secret chamber and headed toward Reverend Jin Wu’s palace.
‘When he arrived, he saw Lin Ya and Ling Chang already seated in the palace.
“sit!”
Reverend Jin Wu was sitting on the main seat and he beckoned Su Mo to take a seat.
“Thank you, Teacher!” Su Mo said as he cupped his fist at Reverend Jin Wu. He sat down beside Ling Chang and waited for Reverend Jin Wu to pass down the instructions.
Reverend Jin Wu sat on the main seat with a stern look. He looked at Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang for a while before he said, “The Headquarters Selection will be taking place in another 10 days.”
“Every Selection is an opportunity for all the disciples in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance to progress in their martial path. That applies to the three of you as well. You will have a bright future if you get into the Headquarters.”
“However, even if you possess great talent and are invincible, it will not be easy for you to stand out during the Selection. It is especially so when many geniuses have emerged during the past few years.”
“are the three of you ready for it?”
Reverend Jin Wu spoke solemnly. It was apparent that he took the matter seriously.
“Yes, we are!”
Su Mo, Ling Chang, and Lin Ya replied simultaneously.
“Good. I have no doubt about your talent. The rest depends on your luck!”
Reverend Jin Wu nodded. After a while, he said, “I will be bringing you to the Suspended Holy Mountain today to meet your Grandmaster, Buddha Sunyata. He will provide you with some guidance.”
Su Mo was surprised when he heard that Reverend Jin Wu would be bringing them to the Headquarters. He had not expected that to happen.
Before the three of them could respond, Reverend Jin Wu waved his sleeve and covered the three of them up with his vital energy. The three of them twirled toward him and, in an instant, he flew off. He appeared in the starry sky and headed toward Ancient Cloud Star, where the Headquarters were
located.
Skynet Branch.
Skynet Branch was far away from Palmy Branch and it was one of the more powerful branches in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, with many geniuses in the Branch.
Vast aura was surging around a secluded courtyard in Skynet City.
After some time, the aura dissipated and everything returned to normal.
A good-looking youth in a white shirt walked out of his room and lifted his head to look at the sky.
“Finally, I’ve made it. I must get into the Headquarters!”
The youth looked deep into the sky and his gaze went past the starry sky and fell on the huge Ancient Cloud Star.
“Wu Shan, once I get into the Headquarters, I will make sure that you die by my hand!” The youth said with a resentful look.
That youth was none other than Xiao Yushu.
Back then in Dosu Star, he was almost killed by Su Mo. Fortunately, Quan Ruhai had stepped in and saved him.
After Xiao Yushu had left Dosu Star, he withdrew his discipleship from Palmy Star Branch and joined Skynet Star Branch.
An elder in Skynet Branch who was at the Supreme Realm had accepted him as a disciple due to his great talent. After 40 years of cultivation and hard work and with the help of his Teacher, he had finally had a breakthrough to the Supreme Being Realm before the Headquarters Selection.
He had to get into the Headquarters as that was the only way for him to get revenge for the humiliation that he had suffered.
“Jin Wu, I will make you regret your decision of chasing me out. You will regret making all those decisions.” Xiao Yushu clenched his fists in anger. He was full of hatred for Reverend Jin Wu and Wu Shan..
