Warrior's Promise
chapter-1140

With the exception of Su Mo and several descendants such as Sikong Yan and Cai Yun, the eyes of everyone in the Firmament Palace lit up.

Even the two Emperor-to-be experts, Di Shi and Hai Mingjiang, had never seen a Medium Imperial Level cultivation skill. It was one of the most coveted treasures.

Gulp!

Saliva being swallowed was continually heard. The Sky-sea Pavilion and the Emperor Xuan Palace experts did not even have Lower Imperial Level cultivation skills, let alone a Medium Imperial Level cultivation skill.

Phew!

Hai Mingjiang took a deep breath. He was also impressed by the Medium Imperial Level cultivation skill.

If he had this cultivation skill, he might be able to get promoted to the Martial Emperor Realm. His strength would then be greatly increased and his lifespan extended.

However, he could not convince himself. Should he abandon the Sky-sea Pavilion's ten-thousand-year inheritance for the sake of a Medium Imperial Level cultivation skill?

"In addition to the cultivation skill, each of you can also practice a Lower Imperial Level martial skill, or even a Medium Imperial Level martial skill!" Su Mo spoke again to stoke the flames.

In fact, he had not intended to keep these things at all. Even if these people had voluntarily joined the Firmament Palace, he would still have passed on the Imperial Level martial arts techniques to them.

These people were superior to those of the Firmament Palace in cultivation. They were all Martial Royal Realm martial artists, and they were basically at the advanced stage.

If he wanted to train high-ranking Martial Royal Realm experts, he had to give them the best martial arts techniques.

"Pavilion Leader!"

"Pavilion Leader!"

As Su Mo finished speaking, several Sky-sea Pavilion experts couldn't help calling out to Hai Mingjiang softly, a look of expectation on their faces.

Among them was Deputy Hall Chief Hu from the Craftsmanship Hall. Apparently, they were completely tempted because their eyes sparkled.

Hai Mingjiang turned to look at them and saw through their thoughts at a glance.

"Are you willing to join the Firmament Palace?" Hai Mingjiang asked in a low voice.

Deputy Hall Chief Hu and the others nodded. If they gave up the Imperial Level cultivation skill and martial skill, they would be really stupid.

Of course, they were not just simply giving in to temptation.

The first reason why they were willing to join the Firmament Palace was that the Firmament Palace was now invincible. The second reason was that they could not resist Su Mo. The third reason was that if they really left the Firmament Palace, the Netherworld Devil Sect would definitely seek revenge on them and they would not be able to withstand it.

If they joined the Firmament Palace, they would not only be safe but they would also be able to cultivate an Imperial Level martial skill.

They did not need to think too much about this.

"How about you?" When he saw Deputy Hall Chief Hu nodding, Hai Mingjiang looked at the others, including Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Hai Mingjiang saw this and secretly sighed. Since everyone agreed, he didn't have to insist.

Moreover, he was also tempted by the Medium Imperial Level cultivation skill.

"I am willing to lead the Sky-sea Pavilion to join the Firmament Palace!" Hai Mingjiang looked at Su Mo and spoke solemnly.

"Very good!"

Su Mo had a bright smile on his face. As long as they were willing to join the Firmament Palace, the lack of strength of the Firmament Palace would basically be immediately filled.

It would not be like before when there was no expert in the palace aside from him and the others were pitifully weak.

"You will become the elders of the Firmament Palace. You will be assigned to the nine palaces according to your individual circumstances." Su Mo scanned the people from the Emperor Xuan Palace and the Sky-sea Pavilion as he made the announcement.

There were more than 70 people, so they would naturally be broken up and assigned to the nine palaces. By doing so, they could fully be integrated into the Firmament Palace.

Then, Su Mo ordered nine puppets to spend less than an hour to distribute them.

Di Shi was assigned to the Brightgold Palace, Hai Mingjiang was assigned to the Illuminious Palace, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian was assigned to the Wind-cloud Palace, and Deputy Hall Chief Hu was naturally assigned to the Firescorching Palace.

As for the Imperial Level cultivation skill and martial skill promised by Su Mo, they would not go back on their word. People from both sides could choose their own martial arts technique in their respective palaces.

They just needed to tell the protector puppets from the nine palaces.

As for the Sky-sea Pavilion's integration, Su Mo discussed it with Hai Mingjiang. Because the Sky-sea Pavilion still had a lot of sub-pavilions and staff in the outside world, it was rather troublesome to integrate.

In the end, Su Mo decided that the sub-pavilions would remain unchanged and would function as the shops of the Firmament Palace, gaining wealth for it.

Those people would naturally become people of the Firmament Palace.

Finally, Su Mo, Sikong Yan, Wen Rentian and others discussed the matter about recruiting disciples. They were ready to formally recruit disciples tomorrow.

Because it was the nine palaces that recruited and trained disciples, he asked for the opinion of Sikong Yan and the others.

At last, they reached an agreement. They would only recruit disciples who had Heaven Class Martial Souls.

This requirement was very high, extremely high.

The Heaven Class Martial Soul genius, even in the Central Continent, was one in ten thousand一this requirement was high.

If the Firmament Palace recruited disciples according to this standard, only one or two disciples would be picked out of 100,000 or even 1 million people.

However, according to Sikong Yan, the Firmament Palace had now become the strongest force in the Firmament World. There must be countless people who wanted to join the Firmament Palace. Even if the requirements were higher, they would still be able to recruit many disciples.

Su Mo agreed with this. After all, it was quality rather than quantity that mattered when recruiting disciples.

Even if they recruited tens of millions of disciples, ungifted disciples would not be of much use.

Besides, the greater the number of disciples, the more resources they consumed.

Of course, there were exceptions. If some people did not have gifted Martial Souls but they were particularly talented in other aspects, they could also join the Firmament Palace.

Examples of such exceptions were outstanding property talent, special body constitutions, strong willpower and high understanding, etc.

After their discussion, Su Mo and the others determined the specific assessment criteria. He then decided to leave it up to them and left the Firmament Palace to cultivate with peace of mind.

The recruitment of disciples was done by the nine puppets and several descendants such as Sikong Yan.

Su Mo returned to his residence and went straight into the practice room.

Although a few days had passed, the side effects of his "Three Secret Techniques" still lingered. He was very tired and his strength had decreased a lot.

When he returned to the practice room, Su Mo rejected all distracting thoughts and meditated to calm his breath.

He seemed to have forgotten everything as he sat without knowing the time.

During this period, Xi'er came back several times but left quietly without disturbing him.

While Su Mo was meditating, the Firmament Palace was bustling.

Countless people poured into the Firmament Palace to take part in the entrance examination.

Now, the fact that Su Mo had defeated the Martial Emperor Realm expert Wu Sen had already spread to the Firmament World at an unimaginable speed.

The Firmament World was boiling as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had occurred.

Countless young martial artists led by their elders came to the Firmament Palace from hundreds of millions of miles away.

However, those who had come to the Firmament Palace were immediately discouraged when they learned the criteria for recruiting disciples.

In the Firmament Palace, the lowest standard for recruiting disciples was a Heaven Class martial soul!

"Are you kidding me?"

When the other superforces recruited disciples, even a Rank 1 Earth Class Martial Soul could pass the examination.

However, the Firmament Palace only recruited Heaven Class Martial Soul disciples instead of Earth Class Martial Soul disciples.

Countless people lamented, but they had to leave sadly.

On the first day, only 23 disciples were enrolled in the Firmament Palace.

Of the 23 disciples, more than half were older Martial Royal Realm experts who were survivors from the Heaven-sea City.

The next day, 27 people were recruited!

On the third day, 31 people were recruited!

In the first few days, the number of disciples enrolled per day was very small.

Half a month later, however, the news of the big opening of the mountain gate and the wide recruitment of disciples in the Firmament Palace had spread.

More and more disciples came to the Firmament Palace to take part in the examination.

More than half a month later, the Firmament Palace was able to recruit hundreds of disciples every day.

More than a month later, after enrolling 30,000 disciples, the Firmament Palace closed the gate and stopped the recruitment.

Those who arrived later could only complain bitterly, beat their chests, and stamp their feet because they missed this opportunity and did not know when the Firmament Palace would recruit disciples again.
