chapter-1213

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

All the martial artists of Town Tushan were flabbergasted by Su Mo’s display of power–utterly flabbergasted.

A martial artist at the Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm was able to slay a Martial Emperor almost instantaneously. His strength belonged to the realm of supreme geniuses.

Everyone had seen how Master Tu’s Fighting Soul had been devoured by this horrific young man.

What ability did he have, that he could devour someone else’s Fighting Soul?

All the people from the Tu Family turned pale after their Master was killed. They scrambled off quickly.

“Let’s continue our construction!” Su Mo landed. Ignored the scrambling Tu mob, he continued instructing his people.

They nodded and returned to their places, continuing their construction. Even Xi’er went to help.

Su Mo flew to the nearby green mountain. He started to sit cross-legged.

As he sat in meditation, he pondered about his Martial Soul.

Before a martial artist had reached the Martial Emperor Realm, his Martial Soul must evolve into a Fighting Soul. Everyone else was trying to make his Martial Soul evolve, to cross into the Martial Emperor Realm.

However, Su Mo was different. His Martial Soul could be promoted and was completely different from everyone else’s.

No one knew whether his Martial Soul could become a Fighting Soul or not. Even if that was possible, must he wait for his Martial Soul to advance to the supreme rank being attempting its evolution?

Once his Martial Soul had evolved into a Fighting Soul, there would be no more ranks. This set Su Mo thinking.

If his Martial Soul reached the highest rank, it would certainly be more powerful than a Fighting Soul promoted from Rank 6 Heaven Class.

Su Mo continued to speculate. However, he still knew very little at present.

After much pondering, he shook his head and started to remove the distractions from his mind.

He would try and learn more about the Fighting Soul after reaching the Shenwu Academy. He would only decide after knowing more.

After that, Su Mo started to cultivate quietly.

Three days passed swiftly.

After three days of hard work, the experts from the Firmament Palace had finally erected a large mansion.

The rather expansive mansion was nearly the size of Sunnywood City, occupying a radius of 50 kilometers.

Although it was not very big, it could just about accommodate all the disciples from the Firmament Palace within. They could always expand the mansion the next time.

Although the mansion had been erected, its interior remained simple and crude. There were insufficient rooms to accommodate every disciple.

Of course, Su Mo did not need to worry. He could always get them to build more rooms.

Su Mo released all the one million Firmament Palace disciples.

The entire mansion was bustling with activities. Numerous disciples were constructing their own rooms. Soon, every tree in the nearby woods had been fell.

Within the newly constructed stone hall, Su Mo was discussing matters with the leaders of the Firmament Palace.

“Su Mo, are you leaving us? Won’t you stay on longer?” Di Shi asked. Su Mo had said that he would leave for the Shenwu Academy alone.

“I won’t be staying. I will leave tomorrow morning!”

Su Mo shook his head and sighed. “In the future, the Firmament Palace would have to count on all of you.”

He had wanted to stay a little longer, but he did not want to waste time. He had too much to do.

First, the Sorcerer tribe would surely come, sooner or later. He must improve his overall power.

Second, he could not put poor Qingxuan out of his mind. He had found her in trouble but was powerless to help. His helplessness had made him want to improve his cultivation even more.

Third, there was the problem of Qian Xunyue. He could only save her if he broke into the Martial Emperor Realm.

“Su Mo, you needn’t worry with us around!” Long Teng assured him.

“Alright.”

Su Mo nodded and surveyed the people around him–Long Teng, Sikong Yan, and the other masters of the nine palaces. “When I’m not around, the nine of you will be solely in charge of the matters of our Sect!”

Su Mo was quite reassured by the nine. They had all matured and would reach the Martial Emperor Realm soon.

Among them, Zhan Luan and Long Teng could already surpass an ordinary Lvl 1 Martial Emperor martial artist.

The inhabitants of the Firmament Palace could be the overlords of the town, given their strong cultivations.

“Yes!” All of them nodded.

Jiang Fengran seemed to remember something and asked, “Su Mo, how should we deal with the Tu Family? Yesterday, they sent someone here to sue for peace!”

“Just deal with them at your own discretion.” Su Mo was nonchalant. He did not want to bother about such a trivial matter.

Su Mo later made a careful plan about the way the Firmament Palace should develop.

He left behind many good things for his people.

He also made an imprint of all five of his Upper Imperial cultivation skills, leaving them for the others.

He gave the Emperor Sword to Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian.

He even left the tattered Divine Map to Xi’er.

He no longer needed the map. Perhaps the Firmament Palace could make good use of it.

Su Mo’s wish was for the Firmament Palace to become a superpower within the Ancientspirit Galaxy.

If that came to pass, the Firmament Palace would stand firm even if something happened to him.

Finally, Su Mo waved the people away. The Firmament Palace leaders left the stone hall.

After a while, only two persons were left in the stone hall with Su Mo.

They were Xi’er and Li Feng.

As Su Mo’s wife, Xi’er naturally wanted to keep him company before his long journey. She did not want to leave him now.

Su Mo did not know why Li Feng had stayed.

“Li Feng, what realm have you reached in your cultivation?” Su Mo stared at Li Feng and asked. He had realized Li Feng’s cultivation had remained just as strong after reclaiming his physical body.

In other words, he had claimed all of Wu Shan’s cultivation.

Li Feng looked a bit staid and saluted Su Mo with a bow. “I am now at Lv 5 Martial Royal Realm. My uncle has chosen a Medium Imperial cultivation skill for me to practice. But it is at odds with the Dark Force inside me. I am still trying to get used to it.”

The uncle Li Feng had mentioned was Su Hong.

Su Mo raised his head a little upon hearing this. Wu Shan’s cultivation was completely different from the Firmament Palace’s skills. Of course they would be at odds.

However, Li Feng’s Dark Force would adapt after a while. It just needed to undergo some time.

Li Feng finished what he was saying and became silent. Then, he said, “Su Mo, I’d like to leave this palace as well. I want to go out for an adventure!”

Su Mo frowned. “Li Feng, your cultivation is still too low. Why don’t you wait until you reach the Martial Emperor Realm?”

There were countless experts in Star Guzhou. It would be dangerous for Li Feng to roam outside with his current cultivation. Su Mo would prefer for him to remain behind.

“Su Mo, if I continue to stay here, I will never become a Martial Emperor,” Li Feng said wryly.

Su Mo finally understood him after hearing him out. Li Feng could claim all of Wu Shan’s cultivation but not his talent.

Li Feng’s Martial Soul was still at Rank 7 Human Class. It was just too weak.

“It’ll be very dangerous for you to roam outside with your current cultivation!” Su Mo still had some misgivings about him leaving.

Li Feng sighed. He knew Su Mo was worried on his behalf, but he had made up his mind.

“Su Mo, I can only break the shackles if I face adversities. I hope you will let me go!” Li Feng was very determined.

Su Mo could only sigh in his heart. Although he could dissuade Li Feng now, it was likely he would still go after his departure.

“Very well. But you must be careful.” Su Mo nodded helplessly after a while.

“Su Mo, we’ll see each other again!”

Li Feng saluted Su Mo with a cupped fist in a hand. He said solemnly, “If I don’t die, I will surely be back!”

“Take care!” Su Mo rose and saluted him with a cupped fist in his hand as well.

Li Feng soon left, striding away.

Watching his silhouette depart, Su Mo suddenly felt that Li Feng had changed.

He had become steady and much less impetuous. He would refrain from showing off his abilities now. He might suffer some trials and afflictions along the way, but he would grow up!

After that, Su Mo sauntered around the mansion together with Xi’er . They were enjoying their last moments together.

Nothing transpired that night. At dawn, Su Mo left Town Tushan, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
