Warrior’s Promise

“Hmph! With so many of us here, we won’t let you guys enter the ruin first!” a middle-aged man of the True Darkness Realm yelled coldly.

However, right after he finished speaking, an invincible saber radiance shot toward the middle-aged man and killed him before he could even put up a fight. His blood painted the lake water red.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped and stared at the python-patterned robed young man with shock.

How is he so powerful?

The middle-aged man of Lv 1 True Darkness Realm was killed with a single strike. He could not even fight back.

“I’ve told you before. Anyone who disobeys me will be killed like him!” the young man held a black long saber in his hand and added arrogantly, “I’m Xuan Feng. Those who don’t believe me can have a try.”

Xuan Feng was looking down on everyone.

“What? Xuan Feng? Is he the Xuan Feng from Celestialspirit Sect’s Holy Sky Peak?”

“Xuan Feng is a genius on the List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent. He’s ranked at the 976th position!”

“He’s actually one of the geniuses on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”

Everyone was stunned to hear the young man’s name because they all knew how powerful and outstanding the geniuses on the List of Top 1,000 Talents are.

For a moment, everyone was intimidated by Xuan Feng’s reputation!

Xuan Feng glanced over the crowd with disdain. Everyone here was a small fry which he could easily kill.

Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan felt surprised when they realized that Xuan Feng was a disciple of Holy Sky Peak, and even one of the geniuses on the List of Top 1,000 Talents.

Every genius on the List of Top 1,000 Talents was at the True Darkness Realm and possessed unchallengeable strength. Although this young man was ranked at the bottom, his cultivation was definitely at Lv 3 or 4 True Darkness Realm at the very least.

While Su Mo was deep in thought, the rock wall suddenly started rumbling, and soon turned into a dark vortex.

The vortex was only about 30 feet wide and it exuded a vast aura.

“Hurry up and get in!” Xuan Feng immediately turned around and yelled at the disciples of Holy Sky Peak.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The disciples of Holy Sky Peak had already started moving before Xuan Feng finished his sentence. All of them charged into the vortex like rays of light.

Everyone else was mad, but no one dared to take a step because Xuan Feng would kill anyone who stepped forward.

Su Mo was angry as well, but he could not do anything about it, since Xuan Feng was too strong.

He could only hope that the entrance had not disappeared after Xuan Feng went in.

In half a breath, the 100 odd disciples of Holy Sky Peak all entered the vortex, after which Xuan Feng laughed and entered the vortex as well.

“Let’s go!”

Once Xuan Feng was gone, everyone started rushing toward the vortex crazily.

Whoosh!

Su Mo brought Hong Qingxuan with him and bolted toward the vortex as well.

He brought her along because she was much slower than him.

However, although Su Mo was fast, the rest were not slow either. Furthermore, since Su Mo was near the back, he could not get in within half a breath.

Once the entrance closed, he would have to wait for another hour.

“Devour!” Su Mo activated his Devouring Martial Soul and the devouring power instantly permeated his surroundings.

As soon as he unleashed his devouring power, those people below Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm were instantly slowed down. At this moment, even a brief pause would cost them the chance to enter the vortex.

“What’s going on?”

“Who the hell is screwing around?”

“Oh no!”

Everyone was panicking and shouting.

Without slowing down, Su Mo pushed the people in front of him out of his way and brought Hong Qingxuan into the vortex.

…

After entering the vortex, the duo found themselves in a gigantic cave.

There were many people who entered the cave with Su Mo, but no one else came in as half a breath had passed. It seemed like the entrance outside had closed.

The cave was rich in spiritual Qi, but there was no water around. It was deep and led to somewhere unknown.

“Brother Su Mo, this might be an expert’s immortal’s cave.” Hong Qingxuan spoke softly.

“Well! Let’s go!” The duo started flying deeper into the cave. Everyone else was rushing at their maximum speed as well.

After a dozen breaths or so, a massive space appeared before them. It was a small luxurious square that was paved with white jade that glittered with a faint white light.

The square was surrounded by greenish-purple rocks that were shining with the radiance of formations, which indicated that this place was covered in formations.

On a rock wall that was smooth as a mirror, there was a fiery red vortex which had a radius of about three meters. In addition, a holographic video was running above the rock wall. It seemed that many people were moving around in it.

There was a rough estimate of over 5,000 martial artists gathered on the square currently, and Xuan Feng was among them.

Almost all of them were crowding around the rock wall that was as smooth as a mirror and only a minority of them were at the center of the square.

There was a 10 meters tall stele erected at the center of the square. In front of the stele were gathered a small group of martial artists, who were reading something.

Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan immediately went to the stele and started observing it as well.

There were many ancient writings on the stele. The words were ancient and simple, but they exuded a mighty aura.

“Qingxuan, what’s written on it?” Su Mo was completely incapable of reading these words, so he had to ask her for help.

Hong Qingxuan smiled when she heard him. She did not expect Su Mo, such a talented man, to not know these words!

“Brother Su Mo, I’ll read it for you!”

Hong Qingxuan smiled and started reading the words slowly. “I’m Ou Lianzi, and I’ve been studying craftsmanship since I was young. After 500 years, I finally became an Upper Imperial Craftsmanship Grandmaster. However, as my life is coming to an end, I’ll leave my Legacy of craftsmanship to a fated person who is able to pass the three trials in ‘Path of Fire-refinement’.”

After she finished reading the stele, Hong Qingxuan laughed and said, “Brother Su Mo, here is actually the immortal cave of a Craftsmanship Grandmaster who had left his Legacy of Craftsmanship.”

“Understood!” Su Mo nodded. The Legacy of Craftsmanship?  He did not expect this, as he had thought that this place belonged to an ancient power.

Su Mo had never thought of becoming a craftsman, but the Legacy of an Upper Imperial Craftsmanship Grandmaster was a priceless treasure that could drive all the craftsmen in Firmament and Continent mad. Even though he was not a craftsman, he was still extremely interested in the Legacy.
