Warrior’s Promise

On a mountain path in the Celestialspirit Sect, Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan stood face to face.

“Qingxuan, do your best to consolidate your Vital Spirit, and come back to me when you feel your cultivation is solid enough.”

Su Mo smiled at Hong Qingxuan and said, “When your cultivation has increased again, then you will also be able to attend the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks.”

The Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks was a contest of the top outer experts from the Nine Peaks. Most participants were at higher levels of the Enlightenment Realm because weak competitors would only be asking for humiliation if they attended.

Hong Qingxuan’s combat strength could be also formidable. Although Su Mo had not seen her moves for a long time, he was sure that she could fight against someone who was three or four levels higher than her own.

As long as she upgraded to Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm, or even Lv 6, she definitely could fight against those outer experts.

There were still two months left, so Su Mo thought it would be easy to upgrade two levels.

“Got it!”

Hong Qingxuan pursed up her red lips and nodded heavily. “Trust me, brother Su Mo, I’ll get my cultivation ready and go to your place soon!”

“Haha! Good!” Su Mo smiled.

From the 20,000,000 Medium Spiritual Stones that he got from her, he had used 2,000,000, so there were 18,000,000 left. He did not want to use them alone!

Hong Qingxuan lowered her head and softly said, “Brother Su Mo, you have a special Martial Soul that can absorb Spiritual Stones so quickly. I think the biggest trouble for you is the time needed to consolidate your Vital Spirit and cultivation. I suggest that you cultivate in the Gravitational Cultivation Room.”

“Gravitational Cultivation Room?” Su Mo was shocked.

“Yes. There is a powerful gravitational formation set inside each room. In those rooms, you’ll feel just like in Murong Wudi’s Gravitational Field.”

Hong Qingxuan smiled and continued, “In a Gravitational Cultivation Room, your Vital Spirit will be limited under the massive gravity. Under that condition, the Vital Spirit refinement will be much more effective, thus shortening your cultivation time.”

Su Mo’s eyes shone. He was quite familiar with gravity because he had also practiced the Mountains-weight Skill , only he could not exert the Gravitational Field on himself.

He nodded slightly. As long as the time for the Vital Spirit refinement was shortened, he could continuously increase his cultivation.

Of course, that was under the premise that he had enough Spiritual Stones to devour.

Su Mo asked, “Where is the Gravitational Cultivation Room? I’ll go check it out another day.”

“On the main peak, Great Heaven Peak,” Hong Qingxuan answered.

Su Mo nodded. The two youths chatted for another moment and then left for each other’s place.

When Su Mo arrived at the Towering Sky Peak, he saw that the Tenth Senior Brother, Tian Chen, was practicing sabermanship in the square.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tian Chen was not exerting his Vital Spirit, yet the power of his saber was still strong. His saber was dazzling, shattering the air around him.

Su Mo looked surprised. He was not surprised by his powerful saber techniques, but by his Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm cultivation.

It seemed like he was just at Lv 2 two months ago. He had upgraded in just two months!

“Impressive!”

Su Mo could not help praising him.

“11th Junior Brother, you’re back!” Tian Chen stopped practicing when he saw Su Mo.

“Tenth Senior Brother, congrats on your cultivation progress!” Su Mo saluted holding his fist in his palm and smiled.

“Hahaha!”

Tian Chen laughed upon hearing this and his face was filled with pride. “My talent is not worth mentioning among our brothers, but in the Celestialspirit Sect, even in the entire Dark Domain, I’m a top-tier talent. For me, to upgrade one level is…”

When Tian Chen was about to brag about himself, he stopped suddenly.

He stared agape at Su Mo with disbelief in his eyes, as if he was looking at a ghost.

“11th Junior Brother, you… you… you reached Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm?” Tian Chen stammered.

Su Mo nodded and did not deny it.

“I…”

When he saw Su Mo nod, he almost could not help spurting up blood.

Moments later, Tian Chen asked in surprise, “How is this possible?”

It was indeed shocking. How long had Su Mo been away? His cultivation had upgraded two levels!

Moreover, Su Mo was only at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm when he first arrived here. It took him only three months to upgrade from Lv 8 True Spirit Realm to Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm.

Tian Chen was dumbfounded!

Utterly dumbfounded!

“How did he do this? Does he have a high-level Heaven Class Martial Soul?

“But, even if it is a high-level Heaven Class Martial Soul, it can’t be this horrible!”

Tian Chen’s face kept twitching. Comparing his progress with Su Mo’s, he wanted to die now.

“Tenth Senior Brother, what’s going on?” Su Mo asked in confusion while seeing Tian Chen’s twitching face. He did not think that he had upgraded too fast; instead, he thought it was too slow!

“Ah! Nothing! Nothing!” Tian Chen returned to his senses and shook his head hurriedly. He then took a deep breath to calm down.

“Where are the Eighth and Ninth Senior Brothers?” Su Mo asked.

“They’re out for training.”

Then Tian Chen sighed and said, “Seventh Senior Sister is in seclusion, so is Second Senior Sister. I’m all alone here, it’s boring!”

“Oh, Second Senior Sister is in seclusion!” Su Mo was going to pay his gratitude to her again and did not expect her to be in seclusion.

“Yep! She said that she will be in seclusion until the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks. After that, she will go to the Central Continent!”

“What? The Central Continent?” Su Mo was shocked by this. He was extremely sensitive about the words “Central Continent”.

“Yep! She has reached Lv 8 True Darkness Realm now. Among the younger generation in the East Continent, nobody can match her except for those top 10 talents on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”

Tian Chen’s eyes became envious. “So, she will be heading for the Central Continent, and follow in the First Senior Brother’s footsteps.”

Su Mo nodded and agreed. With her talent and strength, the Lv 8 True Darkness Realm cultivation could empower her with the combat strength that was close to that of a Martial King.

Only by going to the Central Continent, a place where martial arts thrived the most in the world, competing with those top-tier talents, could she utterly activate her potential.

“Tenth Senior Brother, continue your practice, I’m going home.”

In Su Mo’s attic, he took out a bundle of jade slips and started to read them intensively. These jade slips were the craftsmanship Legacy from Ou Lianzi.

Su Mo had not earned many stones in this outing. Therefore, he needed to study craftsmanship and make stones by selling the weapons that he crafted.
