Chapter 1343: Saint Royal City
Dense and immeasurable Dark Force entered his body. Su Mo eagerly refined the Dark Force and did not dare to slow down his cultivation.
The aura around his body became stronger and stronger, and deep sounds continued to form from the circulation of Dark Force in him.
Time passed by slowly and Su Mo continued to devour and cultivate. Yet, he still did not manage to break through.
After a full day, and after using a large amount of Divine Pills, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Rank 4 Martial Emperor Realm, but he still had not broken through.
Phew!
Su Mo stopped cultivation and opened his eyes as he let out a long and heavy sigh.
He couldn’t help sighing. With the increase in his cultivation ranks, the difficulty of breaking through had also increased.
His cultivation was still not refined enough and he had to stabilise it for a greater period of time.
After lowering his head and thinking to himself, Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh. He seemed to be solely focused on raising his cultivation level for his martial arts way.
For instance, a normal martial emperor would spend large amounts of time learning martial skills as well as training his ultimacy aside from cultivating.
As for him, he had not touched his martial skills for a rather long time and he rarely touched on ultimacy. Instead, he focused solely on raising his rank.
There wasn’t much choice, cultivating and raising his rank was the easiest for him.
“Next time, I will find some time to touch on my ultimacy and cultivate my martial skills!” Su Mo sighed.
Su Mo did not force himself to break through since he could not and hence, he prepared to calm himself down for a while.
Then, he left the jade bracelet.
Inside his cave, Su Mo did not continue cultivating but started to practice his sword techniques everyday and raise his Devouring Ultimacy.
The Devouring Ultimacy was very important as it could raise the power of his Devouring Fighting Soul. However, since it was only Rank 1 now, the speed of raising it was very slow.
Just like that, another half a month peacefully went by.
One day, a young man arrived at Huo Yuan peak and was allowed in by Su Mo.
This skinny young man, Ren Yun Du, was a disciple of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
“Su Mo, the Holy Son will be forming a group of disciples to go to the Holy Dynasty to train. You should go too!” Ren Yun Du said towards Su Mo.
“Oh, sure!” Su Mo nodded his head, he didn’t ask much about it before agreeing.
Waiting everyday at Huo Yuan Peak was boring already, so going out for a few days would be good.
“Alright then, three days later in the morning, let’s meet at the Outer Mansion’s Western Yard Square!” Ren Yun Du said.
“I will be there on time!” Su Mo replied.
Then, the two exchanged a few casual sentences before Ren Yun Du left.
Three days passed by slowly. Before Su Mo left Huo Yuan Peak, he gave a few instructions to Nie Qian and Han Ying.
During the time that he was gone, the two of them tried as much as possible not to leave Huo Yuan Peak in case the Taishi Family sent men over to create trouble.
The morning sun hung up in the sky as dense clouds floated through the sky, Su Mo arrived at the Western Yard Square.
At this point, there were around 20 Outer Mansion disciples of both gender at the square.
These Outer Mansion disciples were all martial emperors whose cultivations ranged from Rank 1 to 6.
However, there was a common point about these men and that was that they all wore dark looks on their faces and it was clear that they were merciless killers.
“Greetings to Brother Su!”
“Su Mo!”
“Brother Su has arrived!”
The moment Su Mo arrived, he was showered by polite greetings from the crowd at the grounds.
At this point, almost everyone in Shen Wu Academy recognised Su Mo.
In the previous fight with the disciples of the Taishi Family, he had shown himself to be a true genius of the academy.
Now, even those Rank 8 or 9 Martial Emperors did not dare to underestimate Su Mo.
After all, the talents that Su Mo had shown was very terrifying and he was no less talented than the Holy Sons.
“Everyone is too polite!” Su Mo cupped his fists towards the rest of the people and slightly bowed.
“Ha ha! Brother Su is the one being too polite. Since we are all going to be comrades from here on out, lets just be casual with one another!”
“We will serve the Holy Son from now on!”
“Yes, being able to serve the Holy Son is our honour!”
Everyone spoke out enthusiastically as their eyes shone brightly with their fighting intent.
Su Mo lightly nodded his head but was mildly surprised. These people were all fiercely loyal to Gu Tian Yi, he guessed that they all believed strongly in his abilities.
“Everyone, what is this training session?” Su Mo asked in a deep voice.
As Su Mo chatted with the disciples, more of them gathered at the grounds. In a few moments, over a hundred people were gathered there.
Su Mo was pretty familiar with the disciples upon conversing with them.
With this chat, he gathered information about the training this time. It was to go to the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction and participate in a battle.
As for the leader of this training, it would be Ren Yun Du.
The constellation that the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction was in was one that was bigger than Star Gu Zhou. It was called Star Chi Liang.
Star Chi Liang was not far away from Star Gu Zhou. Yet, this star was different than other stars as it was not controlled by any one faction but it had many countries and empires in it.
In recent years however, these countries, empires and tribes were engaging in fights everyday.
Hence Gu Tian Yi often gathered men together to participate in the battles and obtain military victories.
Some people even became Shen Wu Academy disciples and join the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction due to these military victories.
For instance, Ren Yun Du had the position of a guard in the army of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
As for these disciples who participated in the battle, not only would they be able to keep all goods they win from the battle, they would also be rewarded by the Holy Dynasty.
Of course, where there are benefits, there are costs. Many people lost their lives in the battle.
Shoosh!
With a boom, Ren Yun Du arrived at the grounds.
“Since everyone is here, lets go!” Ren Yun Du surveyed the people on the ground before announcing.
“Yes!” The crowd answered.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo was slightly speechless. How were these people disciples of the academy? They were an army!
It couldn’t be that these people had fought so much, they thought they were troops of the Imperial Ancestor Court!
Then, Ren Yun Du took the lead and led everyone off with the crowd following closely behind him.
Once they left Shen Wu Academy, they headed straight for the nearest Teleportation Array.
Spending a time period of a month without any chit chat along the way, the crowd transferred across three constellations before finally arriving at Star Chi Liang.
Shoosh shoosh~~
Once the light of the Teleportation Array faded out, Su Mo found that he was standing in a wide grand hall.
“Lets go!”
Ren Yun Du commanded and took the lead to fly out of the teleportation hall. The rest of the people followed behind.
A large moat that spanned a kilometre in radius surrounded the hall.
This moat was huge, much larger than that at Heavenly Underworld City. Furthermore, the design of the moat, which was as long as the hundred over-buildings, eluded their might and power.
“Brother Su, this is the Imperial Ancestor Court’s Saint Royal City!” A tall, skinny young man beside Su Mo whispered to him.
This young man was called Xie Bin. He had clean looks, was of the same cultivation level as Su Mo and was an extrovert. He often talked with Su Mo on their way here.
“Oh? It is actually Saint Royal City?” Su Mo was slightly surprised by this information. Wasn’t this the capital of the Imperial Ancestor Court?”
