Warrior’s Promise

After Su Mo got to the deserted mountain, he entered the Bangle Space.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and triggered his thoughts. You Tianhan’s body appeared on the ground before him.

After Su Mo had calmed down, he started to refine his avatar.

He triggered his thoughts and the long Golden Saber Fighting Soul and the Silver Saber Fighting Soul rose up from his body, filling the area with a tinge of sharpness.

The Golden Saber Fighting Soul and the Silver Saber Fighting Soul were You Tianhan’s Fighting Souls. However, the two Fighting Souls were now without his Spiritual Soul and they became wandering souls.

Su Mo was able to activate the two Fighting Souls as they had been refined by his Devouring Fighting Soul.

However, in order for Su Mo to refine his avatar, he had to merge them with his Spiritual Soul.

Su Mo shut his eyes and after a while, he split two of his Spiritual Souls and merged them with You Tianhan’s Fighting Souls.

After the two Spiritual Souls parted from Su Mo’s body, his face turned pale. When he had refined his avatar previously, it was not as serious as this time around.

Su Mo had refined two avatars before and each time, it would bring harm to his Spiritual Soul. After refining a few avatars, his Spiritual Soul had been seriously injured.

The Flaming Devil Ghost Sage had taught Su Mo the art of Splitting Spiritual Soul. If he used it once or twice, it would not cause him any harm. However, it would do him harm if he used it often.

When his Spiritual Soul weakened, his mental strength would weaken as well. When this happened, his ability to activate his Fighting Souls would be affected and this would bring down his strength.

Given time, the Spiritual Soul would gradually recuperate, but it would take three to five years to do so.

Su Mo started to frown as he felt a little faint. However, he did not stop there. He tried to control his Spiritual Souls and merged them with the two Fighting Souls.

He did not take long to do so as he had prior experience. Moreover, the two Fighting Souls had been refined. In less than six hours, Su Mo finally merged his Spiritual Souls and the two Fighting Souls together.

After the two Fighting Souls entered You Tianhan’s body, You Tianhan stood up.

He moved around to loosen himself up before sitting down to treat his injuries.

When he was captured by Su Mo earlier, he had been seriously injured and thus he had to recuperate from his injuries quickly.

“What Blood Force is this?” Su Mo muttered to himself. As he had refined You Tianhan as his avatar, he could feel the Blood Force in You Tianhan’s body.

Su Mo was not surprised that You Tianhan possessed a unique physique. Given his talent and combat strength, it was natural for him to possess a unique physique.

Su Mo then used his thoughts to communicate with his avatar. His avatar activated the Blood Force in his body and a powerful force exuded from his avatar.

It is only an ordinary Blood Force Physique! Su Mo shook his head. Although You Tianhan’s Blood Force Physique was powerful, it was not a unique physique. Su Mo was not interested in it and he let his avatar have it.

As Su Mo’s avatar continued to treat his injury, Su Mo looked grave. He could feel that his Spiritual Soul was being injured after he had refined the avatar and his mental strength was not as strong. If this continued, not only his mental strength would be affected – his strength would also be weakened.

I couldn’t care less. I shall refine the avatar first!

After a while, Su Mo gritted his teeth and went ahead with refining another avatar. Even if his mental strength was going to end up being affected, he would ultimately recover from it.

The most urgent task on hand was to refine his avatar so that he could leave the Ancientspirit Galaxy.

Su Mo then released his Devouring Fighting Soul and a dark-looking youth appeared in the Devouring Maelstrom.

The dark-looking youth’s cultivation level was at Rank 8 Martial Emperor Realm and thus Su Mo could use him as his avatar.

As for You Tianhan’s two other friends, Su Mo had utterly devoured them.

The Fighting Soul of the dark-looking youth was a longsword. After Su Mo had released the dark-looking youth’s Fighting Soul, he selected the most powerful Sword Fighting Soul amongst the various Fighting Souls that he had devoured.

Having done so, Su Mo parted two of his Spiritual Souls again to merge with the two Long Sword Fighting Souls.

Hoof!

Su Mo took a deep breath. His face was ghastly pale now after he had parted with his Spiritual Souls again. He felt dizzy and nearly fainted.

He had never expected the Splitting Spiritual Soul to have such a great impact on him.

He had thought that it would not pose a problem refining three to five avatars but after refining two avatars, he was already feeling the pressure.

He knew that it was due to the fact that every time he split his Spiritual Soul, he would split two Spiritual Souls at the same time. If he had refined only one type of Fighting Soul each time, he would not have this problem.

However, Su Mo felt that if he had refined only one type of Fighting Soul, the talent and strength of his avatar would not be as great.

Su Mo intended to use these two avatars for a long period of time and he did not want to use the same type of avatar that he had used to deceive the Sorcerer Tribe.

Hiss!

Su Mo bit his tongue and he felt the excruciating pain within. His mind was suddenly clear and he pushed his way through and worked on merging his Spiritual Souls with the Fighting Souls.

It took Su Mo 12 hours before he could successfully merge them together and he nearly fainted.

Buzz! Buzz!

The sounds of swords resounded twice and after the Fighting Souls of the two swords entered the dark-looking youth’s body, the dark-looking youth was suddenly resurrected. Su Mo then ignored his avatars and shut his eyes to regulate his breath.

The splitting of his Spiritual Souls had affected his mental strength and he looked pale and felt dizzy.

Su Mo sat in that state, regulating his breath, for three days. Three days later, he opened his eyes.

He still looked pale and felt weak. However, his mind was clear.

“I didn’t know that it was so terrible to have my Spiritual Soul injured!” Su Mo muttered to himself. He then stood up slowly.

After he looked at his two avatars, he pondered for a while. He did not have to make any changes to You Tianhan and could let him stay at Shenwu Academy to take care of Firmament Palace.

However, he had to do something to the dark-looking youth as he would be sending the dark-looking youth to the Imperial Ancestor Court to impersonate him.

The changes would not be too drastic as he only had to work on his build and looks!

Anyway, no one knew his avatar and it did not matter if they had different auras. However, Su Mo had to convince Gu Tianyi that his avatar was him. Other than that, he would not be bothered by what Gu Tianyi might think!

Gu Tianyi would not kill Nie Qian and Han Ying just because Su Mo had a different aura!

Su Mo then triggered his thoughts. He and his two avatars left the Bangle Space and appeared in the deserted mountain.

“Go!”

Su Mo said as he handed the red armor to his dark-looking youth avatar. The dark-looking youth’s avatar nodded and left in the sky.

“You too!”

Su Mo then looked at his You Tianhan avatar and waved his hand.

His You Tianhan avatar nodded. He left through the sky as well and headed towards the direction of Tushan Town.

Su Mo sighed as he watched his You Tianhan avatar leave. With this avatar to protect Firmament Palace, there was no need to worry.

This avatar was about to breakthrough to the Martial Honored Realm and become an Inner Mansion Disciple. He would be able to help Firmament Palace gather more resources. Although the resources that he could gather would not be sufficient for Firmament Palace, it was better than nothing.

Su Mo could only do this much!

The only people that Su Mo was worried about was Xi’er, Si Kong Yan, and the others.

Other than Long Teng and Yi Xiaoxiao, about whom he had not received any news, he had no idea about the situation of any of the other nine Palace Masters.

After news about Su Mo’s death in the True Sage Territory spread around, the few of them did not return to the Ancientspirit Galaxy. Su Mo wondered if they had left but he felt that it was unlikely that they would do so!

Li Feng had also left Firmament Palace some time ago and Su Mo had no idea if he was still alive!

All of you must take care. I will come back after I have found Qingxuan!

Su Mo sighed again and stretched out his hand. The Dark Force circled around his fingertips and he started to make Spiritual Gestures with his fingers.

Saint Zhen Xian had taught him the Spiritual Gestures and they could connect him to the True Sage Territory and Myriad Worlds Mountain.

After a while, the Spiritual Gestures formed a complicated seal and Su Mo pressed it into the void.

Buzz! Buzz!

The void shook and an illusory Space Tunnel gradually appeared. Su Mo stepped into it.
