Warrior’s Promise

After Su Mo went back to Huo Yuan Peak, Grand Master Huoyuan let him return to his immortal’s cave without giving him any further instruction.

Su Mo immediately went into the Bangle Space and started cultivating when he reached the immortal’s cave.

For this trip to the True Sage Territory, Su Mo not only had to leave his name on the True Sage Stele, but the Sorcerer Tribe wanted to kill him and thus it was filled with danger. This gave him excessive pressure.

Moreover, as he had been ranked number one on the True Sage Board, there would be more people setting themselves against him.

Thus, he had to make good use of every second that he had to enhance his strength.

Very quickly, Su Mo immersed himself in the cultivation of the Endless Growth Skill from the Wood Based Cultivation Skill. His Narcissus’s Record and Three Thousand Flame Skill had already reached the peak of the first level. Su Mo’s task was to bring the Endless Growth Skill up to the peak of the first level.

Su Mo had already started cultivating the Endless Growth Skill and thus he had enough time to bring it up to the peak. However, since he had left only two months before the True Sage Territory was going to open, he had to hasten his cultivation as he would likely have to set off earlier.

Time passed quickly and Su Mo had used up many Spiritual Crystals. His cultivation had progressed at a good pace and in one and a half months, he had brought his cultivation of the Endless Growth Skill to the peak of the first level.

Although he had not merged the Dark Forces, his strength was already enhanced tremendously.

The Narcissus’s Record had helped his Water Based Dark Force possess a vast and powerful force like the ocean.

The Three Thousand Flame Skill enhanced the power of his Fire Based Dark Force by several folds. The savage Fire Based Dark Force was so powerful that it could burn anything.

The Endless Growth Skill was even more powerful. Endless meant never ending, eternity.

Su Mo stopped his cultivation. Since the three cultivation skills were all at the peak of the first level, he would try to merge the Dark Forces of the Fire Based and Wood Based together.

He triggered his thoughts and the two Dark Forces flowed to his fingertips. With the same method that he had used before, Su Mo started to merge them together.

However, after more than 10 attempts, he was unsuccessful as the Fire Based Dark Force was weaker than the Wood Based Dark Force.

Su Mo had no choice but to cultivate the Three Thousand Flame Skill again to increase the power of the Dark Force and condense it.

Two days later, he tried to merge them together again.

This time around, the power of the two Dark Forces was almost on par with each other. When they tried to merge together, he found that one could take over the other at times.

Su Mo kept trying and failing at the merging. He was experienced in merging the Dark Forces together as he had failed up to 1,000 times previously. Finally, he managed to get a balance between the two Dark Forces and successfully merged them together.

When the two different types of Dark Forces merged together, the power immediately shot up and enhanced 10 folds. The aura was horrifying.

Su Mo then took a deep breath and started to merge them in his body.

He triggered his thoughts and activated the Fire Based Divine Elixir and Wood Based Divine Elixir. The two Dark Forces spurted out and started to merge in Su Mo’s elixir field.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The two Dark Forces intertwined, buzzed like a bee and quickly merged together.

At the same, a majestic grandeur surged out from the Dark Forces that had been merged together and the aura was so horrifying that Su Mo was taken aback.

Shortly after the two different types of Dark Forces merged together, they turned into a special Purple Dark Force.

The moment the special Dark Force emerged, the five Divine Elixirs in Su Mo’s body retreated from its imposing aura.

Su Mo then triggered his thoughts again and the dazzling Three-colored Dark Force surged to his palms.

This is powerful! Su Mo gently grabbed his hand and smiled. The Three-colored Dark Force contained three blends. The new Purple Dark Force, which combined the Wood and Fire Based Dark Forces together, the Blue Dark Force that was refined by the Narcissus’ Record, and the Grey Dark Force that contained the Earth and Metal Based Dark Forces.

Currently, it was apparent that the Purple Dark Force was the most powerful in the Three-colored Dark Force and that it took the leadership role. The Blue Dark Force and Grey Dark Force were weaker and they took up the supporting roles.

The blend of the Dark Forces remained stable for 15 minutes before it started to show signs of volatility and so Su Mo immediately put the Dark Forces back to their respective forms.

15 minutes was good enough. Back then when Su Mo first succeeded in merging the Dark Forces together, they could only hold on together for around 10 breaths.

After he had successfully merged the Dark Forces together, over time the blend stayed together for a longer duration.

His Earth and Metal Based Dark Forces could remain in the blended state and there was no time restriction to it.

Su Mo had a feeling that when he had mastered the five Middle Honorable Cultivation Skills and normalized the merging of the Dark Forces, he might consider merging them further.

That was to say, he might merge the Water Based Dark Force with the other two types of Dark Forces that had already been merged together.

If he could do so, the power of the three types of blended Dark Force would be horrifying.

However, it was not the right moment to carry out this experiment.

After Su Mo had successfully merged the Dark Forces together, he had to work on bringing up his cultivation level, which was a piece of cake to him.

“Oh?” Suddenly, Su Mo raised his brows. He realized that someone was calling out for him and it was Ren Yundu.

Su Mo triggered his thoughts to leave the Bangle Space and he walked out of the immortal’s cave.

Ren Yundu was standing before Huo Yuan Peak. He was wearing a green shirt and had a broad smile on his face.

“Brother Ren! Please come in!” Su Mo said as he cupped his fist at Ren Yundu.

“Brother Su, I am not going in. I just want to let you know that there are still 20 days before the True Sage Territory opens. We shall gather at the entrance of the Academy two weeks later and the instructors will lead us to the True Sage Territory!” Ren Yundu said.

“All right! Let’s go together!” Su Mo nodded. He knew that the instructors of the Academy would lead them to the True Sage Territory as the True Sage Territory was located at a faraway place.

To travel from Star Guzhou to the Star where the True Sage Territory was located would take more than one year, even if they had used the Space Teleportation Formation.

“All right! I will make a move then!” Ren Yundu rushed off after he had informed Su Mo about the circumstances.

Su Mo then returned to the immortal’s cave and got into the Bangle Space. He started to swallow the Divine Elixirs in order to break through to Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm.

He had many Divine Elixirs, and even without the Spiritual Crystals, the quantity was enough to help him break through the Realm.

Su Mo activated his Devouring Fighting Soul and the various Dark Forces and his cultivation level increased quickly. He shot straight to the peak of Rank 5 Martial Emperor Realm before his momentum came to a stop.

He then started to break through the bottleneck.

As his cultivation level enhanced, it became more difficult to break through the different Realms.

Although Su Mo’s cultivation had been rooted for half a year, he still needed to spend three days to break through the bottleneck. He had almost used up all the Divine Elixirs before he successfully broke through to Rank 6 Martial Emperor Realm.

In the Bangle Space, Su Mo started to withdraw his aura and felt the hike in his cultivation. His strength had enhanced and this gave him more confidence.

Although he had no idea how powerful those Rank 9 Martial Emperor Realm geniuses were, he believed that he was as powerful as them.

Currently, he was much more powerful than how he was a few months ago.

There were more than 10 days before the True Sage Territory opened and Su Mo was looking forward to it.
