Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo pondered for a while and then decided to take things one step at a time.

Fortunately, Shenwu Academy was powerful enough and was formed by 13 top forces. It did not have to be afraid of the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe.

However, as Su Mo was still not powerful enough, it would be easy for the Sorcerer Tribe to assassinate him.

Suddenly, Su Mo’s face squirmed around and he changed his look to prevent Wu Renwang from recognizing him.

Although Wu Renwang had not seen him before, the men from the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe knew how he looked.

“Brother Su, what are you doing?” When Xie Bin saw that Su Mo had changed his appearance, he was baffled. Su Mo had a common look now.

“Brother Xie, I spotted an enemy and I do not want to be recognized by him!” Su Mo explained softly.

When Xie Bin heard that, he nodded and did not ask any further questions.

As time passed by, more people gathered at the auction mart and before long there were around 800,000 of them.

Su Mo was shocked. There were so many people, and at an entrance fee of one Lower Spiritual Crystal per person, the auction mart had earned a lot of money.

At this juncture, the people shut the main gate of the auction mart as the auction was about to commence.

An elder in sackcloth stepped out of the huge palace that was in the northern area and he walked to the center of the auction block.

The elder had white hair but he had a youthful look. His cheeks were rosy and he looked like a youth of about 16 years of age.

When the elder appeared, the auction mart, which was still bustling with noise earlier, suddenly quietened down.

The youthful-looking elder stood on the auction block and when he saw that the auction mart had quietened down, he smiled.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Xuan Jingzi. Everyone calls me Reverend Xuan Jing and I believe that all of you have heard of me!” The youthful-looking elder said as he cupped his fists and looked at all directions.

“Hahaha! We have long heard of you!”

“Elder, you are one of the most renowned auctioneers in Ancientspirit Galaxy and we have long heard of you!”

“It will be interesting to have Reverend Xuan Jing conduct the auction for us!”

Those who were sitting near the auction block said happily.

Reverend Xuan Jing was the elder of the Chamber of Commerce that hosted the event and he was a well-known auctioneer. He had hosted around 1,000 mega auctions in the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Those martial artists in Ancientspirit Galaxy who were knowledgeable would already know who Reverend Xuan Jing was.

However, Su Mo was not familiar with Reverend Xuan Jing. Apparently, the rest of the people in the auction mart were more knowledgeable than him.

“Hahaha! I will not disappoint you with this auction!”

Reverend Xuan Jing smiled warmly and, after pondering for a while, said loudly, “Before we commence the auction, let’s give all of us some luck!”

“Oh? What is this?”

“That’s right! Reverend Xuan Jing, do you have some treasures that you would like to show us before the auction?”

“Reverend Xuan Jing, what is going on?”

When the people heard what Reverend Xuan Jing had said, they suddenly became interested. Since Reverend Xuan Jing had said that it was to give them luck, it must be something extraordinary.

Su Mo became interested as well. What kind of luck could be linked to an auction? It would probably be some sort of treasure.

Suddenly, everyone became curious and waited for Reverend Xuan Jing to reveal it to them.

When Reverend Xuan Jing saw that everyone had become excited, he smiled more broadly. He looked around and said, “I believe all of you know that the True Sage Territory will be opened this year. This will be a great event for the younger generation in Ancientspirit Galaxy. The good luck has something to do with the True Sage Territory!”

Has it got something to do with the True Sage Territory?

When the people heard that, they were surprised. How is the auction linked to the True Sage Territory?

Although a lot of people came to the auction mart with the hope of taking some treasures back with them in order for them to prepare themselves for the trip to the True Sage Territory, they could not see any connection between the auction and the True Sage Territory!

Reverend Xuan Jing then continued, “Many young geniuses in the Ancientspirit Galaxy hope to leave their names on the True Sage Stele but how big is the Ancientspirit Galaxy? How many geniuses are there? Those who manage to leave their names on the True Sage Stele are only a handful!”

Having said that, Reverend Xuan Jing paused for a while. When he saw that everyone was listening attentively, he raised his voice and said, “Due to this reason, the organizers, the Chambers of Commerce that have a few shophouses around the Galaxy, have used a lot of manpower and resources to create a True Sage Board!”

“True Sage Board?”

All of them were baffled when they heard that. What is a True Sage Board? What is it about?

“The True Sage Board has a list of 200 top geniuses in the Ancientspirit Galaxy who are at the Martial Emperor Realm. They have the highest possibility of leaving their name on the True Sage Stele. The ranking of each genius is arranged according to his talent, combat strength, and cultivation.” Reverend Xuan Jing explained.

After his explanation, the entire auction was silent for a while before it broke out in a tremendous uproar.

“Where is the board? Which geniuses are on the list?”

“My Senior Brother Zhou Sheng is very talented and he is well-known. Is his name on the Board?”

“Reverend Xuan Jing, which geniuses are listed on the Board? Please show us!”

“…”

Many martial artists asked and they were eager to find out who were listed on the Board.

Light glittered in the eyes of the peerless geniuses and they were eager to find out if their names had been listed on the Board.

This was a chance for them to get famous. As long as their names were on the True Sage Board, they would be well-known in the Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Su Mo was not interested in it. After all, his name would not be listed on the Board. Firstly, his cultivation was low and secondly, he only became well-known recently when he was at Shenwu Academy.

Moreover, he did not want to be listed and make himself known. He had an arch-enemy and it would not do him good to be famous.

“Please be patient and allow me to finish!”

Reverend Xuan Jing lifted up his hand and signaled to the people to keep quiet. After everyone became silent, he continued, saying, “This list contains all the geniuses from the different races. Although we have carefully selected these people, we may have missed out some. If we have not done a good job, I hope that you will not be offended and take this as an entertainment!”

Before Reverend Xuan Jing revealed the names on the Board, he had covered himself and the Chambers of Commerce well in case they had missed out some names.

After all, the Ancientspirit Galaxy was vast and there were many geniuses at the Martial Emperor Realm.

It was not a simple task to list out the top 200 geniuses who were at the Martial Emperor Realm and it might not have been done accurately. This was the reason they had not come up with such a list previously.

There would be a difference in the rankings of two geniuses. The one with a lower ranking would not consider himself to be inferior to the one who was ranked at the top unless they fought each other.

Moreover, those powerful geniuses whose names were not listed on the Board would think that they were as powerful as those whose names were listed.

In any case, once the True Sage Board had been announced, there would be too many uncertainties and disputes, and many people would be unhappy about it.

Thus, once the list had been announced, the Chambers of Commerce would undergo great pressure.
