Warrior’s Promise

Chapter 1620: Sky Dragon Contest

Su Mo was bewildered and his mind was in turmoil.

He walked toward the Square in a daze and, along the way, he was thinking about if he was reincarnated from the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.

In the beginning, he had thought that it was possible.

He had never heard of anyone living out of the Rules of Heaven, other than himself.

However, he soon found it impossible as he did not fit the description.

Firstly, he was born on earth and his status did not fit.

Secondly, his Fighting Soul was not the Gate of reincarnation.

From those two points, he could not be the reincarnation of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.

“Sigh!”

Su Mo sighed helplessly. It seemed tough to save Qian Xunyue and he had a long way to go.

Soon, Su Mo came to the Square and Jiang Shenye was waiting for him there.

“Brother Su, I have waited for you for a long while!” Jiang Shenye said with a smile. The minute Su Mo walked away to the Grace Hall, Jiang Shenye came back.

“Brother Jiang, what’s up?” Su Mo asked.

“Brother Su, what has happened to you?” Jiang Shenye did not reply Su Mo. He asked curiously when he saw Su Mo’s despair-filled look.

“It is nothing. It is just that the reward that I have received is not what I was expecting!” Su Mo shook his head and did not bother to explain.

When Jiang Shenye heard what Su Mo had said, he nodded. Su Mo had to wait for his reward as he had chosen to receive certain news as a reward. He must be unhappy with the news that he had received.

“Myriad Worlds Mountain has another task at the Ancientspirit Galaxy. I wondered if you would be interested in it, which is why I waited for you.” Jiang Shenye said.

“What task is that?” Su Mo asked curiously.

“Two years later, the big forces in the Ancientspirit Galaxy will be holding the Sky Dragon Contest. The task is to obtain the number one position!” Jiang Shenye replied.

“Sky Dragon Contest? What exactly is that?” Su Mo asked, looking baffled.

“The highest-grade Ancient Dragon’s Vein is in the Ancientspirit Galaxy and this is the best Dragon’s Vein. It is the most powerful and oldest Dragon’s Vein!”

Jiang Shenye continued, saying, “Several thousand years ago, the masters from various forces joined forces to suppress this Dragon’s Vein and seal it up. This Dragon’s Vein does not belong to any of the forces and every 100 years, the forces take turns using it.”

“To be fair in the usage of this Dragon’s Vein, the forces have come up with this method, which is the Sky Dragon Contest.”

“Those of the younger generation who are below 100 years old and have a cultivation level below the Martial Sage Realm can represent their force and take part in the Contest to vie over the use of the Dragon’s Vein!”

Jiang Shenye looked excited as he gave Su Mo an overview about Sky Dragon Contest.

“What happens after one obtains the number one position?” Su Mo asked. He knew that Myriad Worlds Mountain must have something up their sleeve as they would not assign a task simply for them to obtain the number one position in the Contest.

“According to the rules of the Sky Dragon Contest, the one who obtains the number one position for his force will have the opportunity to get into the Dragon’s Vein to cultivate for a day. The task from Myriad Worlds Mountain is for us to make use of that day to draw out the Heaven and Earth Qi in the Dragon’s Vein.” Jiang Shenye replied.

When Su Mo heard what Jiang Shenye had said, he went silent. He was not thinking of the mission, but he was shocked by Myriad Worlds Mountain’s plot.

Myriad Worlds Mountain hid themselves in the universe and they had several plots. They had big forces in the outside world under their control.

If Su Mo managed to complete the task, the various forces would fight among themselves over the Dragon’s Vein and Myriad Worlds Mountain would be the one to get all the benefits.

Although Su Mo had no idea what the Heaven and Earth Qi was, he believed that it must be something extraordinary.

“How is it? Su Mo, are you interested in the task?” Jiang Shenye asked with a smile.

“Why do you not take it up?” Su Mo asked, curious. It would be a great opportunity if one could accomplish the task. Not only would one be rewarded by Myriad Worlds Mountain, they could also cultivate in the highest-grade Dragon’s Vein for a day!

“Who told you I would not take up the task? Both of us can take up the task and I have already done so!” Jiang Shenye replied with a smile. Ever since he had joined Myriad Worlds Mountain, he had accomplished three missions and gained many benefits from Myriad Worlds Mountain.

As long as it was within his capabilities, he would do his best to accomplish the tasks assigned to him by Myriad Worlds Mountain.

Su Mo nodded when he heard what Jiang Shenye had said. Myriad Worlds Mountain would not put all their hopes on one person for such an important task.

“Su Mo, in actual fact, even if you do not take up the task now, one year later, Myriad Worlds Mountain will summon you and make you take it up!” Jiang Shenye said with a grim look on his face.

Myriad Worlds Mountain did not have many disciples in the Ancientspirit Galaxy. Among those in the Martial Honored Realm, only Jiang Shenye and Su Mo could take up such an important task.

“Is that so?” Su Mo looked calm and did not make any comments. In fact, he was not interested in taking up the mission. Although he would be rewarded after he had accomplished the mission, he would be tied down by it if he took it up.

“If you want to take revenge on the Sorcerer Tribe, this is your opportunity to do so!” Jiang Shenye said after pondering for a while.

“Oh? Why do you say so?” Su Mo’s eyes glittered when he heard what Jiang Shenye had said.

“For the sake of this Sky Dragon Contest, the Sorcerer Tribe has spent a long time preparing and they have made it known that they will definitely get the right to use the Dragon’s Vein this time around. If you can defeat or kill the gifted genius that they have groomed for so many years, will you not be taking your revenge?”

Jiang Shenye said. He knew of the feud that Su Mo had with the Sorcerer Tribe and he felt that Su Mo would not want to miss the opportunity to take his revenge.

When Su Mo heard what Jiang Shenye had said, he went silent. He pondered for a while and felt that it was indeed his opportunity to take revenge on the Sorcerer Tribe.

However, it would be tough for him to take his revenge during the Contest.

Firstly, those who would be participating in the Sky Dragon Contest were the younger generation who were less than 100 years old and below the Martial Sage Realm. If he wanted to take revenge under such a situation, he would need to have the combat strength of a martial artist who was at the Peak of Martial Honored Realm.

However, Su Mo did not have such great combat strength. Although he still had two years to work on his cultivation, those two years would be over soon.

He was not sure if he could have the combat strength at the Peak of Martial Honored Realm within such a short period of time.

Secondly, if he showed up at the Sky Dragon Contest, before he could strike, he might already be killed by the masters from the Sorcerer Tribe. The Grand Priest, Wu Lun, would not let him off.

Jiang Shenye seemed to know what Su Mo was thinking and he said with a smile, “Su Mo, don’t worry. As long as you are not defeated by the genius from the Sorcerer Tribe, you will not be in danger!”

“Is that so?” Su Mo asked curiously.

“For this Contest, the master from our Triple Deities Sect, Xu Wushen, will be present!” Jiang Shenye replied.

“Oh!” Su Mo was enlightened when he heard it. He had heard Saint Zhen Xian mentioned before that Xu Wushen was the Official Disciple of Myriad Worlds Mountain.

After Su Mo heard what Jiang Shenye had said, he was a little tempted. If no danger was involved, he would not want to miss the opportunity to deal with the Sorcerer Tribe.

“Which force can I represent? Does Shenwu Academy meet the prerequisites to take part in the Contest?” Su Mo asked.

“No, Shenwu Academy does not qualify to take part but the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction does!” Jiang Shenye replied.

Su Mo was shocked when he heard it. Jiang Shenye seemed to know a lot about him. He even knew that he was from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.

“All right. I will take on the task!” Su Mo nodded after pondering for a while. Since it would not put him in danger, he would take on the task. It could help him suppress the Sorcerer Tribe and, at the same time, he would be rewarded by Myriad Worlds Mountain.

Most importantly, he had the ability to take part in Sky Dragon Contest.

“Great. I will wait for you. After you have taken up the task, we will leave together!” Jiang Shenye said with a smile.

“All right!” Su Mo nodded. He then walked over to Merit Hall again and did not doubt what Jiang Shenye had said.

If the situation was not as per what Jiang Shenye had said, he would turn down the task like he had done previously.

When Jiang Shenye saw that Su Mo had left, light flashed across his eyes. After Su Mo had taken on the task, the two of them would be opponents at Sky Dragon Contest.

Jiang Shenye did not do it on purpose to make Su Mo his opponent, what he had told Su Mo was true.

Even if Su Mo did not take on the task, one year later, Myriad Worlds Mountain would pass down the order to him to accomplish it.
