Chapter 1818: Three Ways
On Wendao Mountain in True Path Sect.
Su Mo sat down quietly cross-legged above Saint Elder Zhen Xian’s palace.
Zhen Xian wasn’t in the palace and he had to wait for him to return.
However, now that he wasn’t able to cultivate or break through to the Rank 8 Martial Honorable Realm, he could only try to comprehend his Ultimacy.
The Devouring Ultimacy was the Ultimacy that was most suited for his Soul and he calmly comprehended it.
Yet, the Ultimacy was incredibly hard to master and it needed a long time to be comprehended. In the short term, it was hard to have any significant progress with it.
Swoosh!
Before long, Saint Elder Zhen Xian arrived by the 8th day and landed in front of Su Mo.
“Su Mo, why are you here?”
Wearing a robe that held the symbol of the True Path Sect, Saint Elder Zhen Xian asked Su Mo curiously.
“Senior, I have a problem I need your help with!” Su Mo stood up and seriously said.
“Mm, let’s head into the palace!” Saint Elder Zhen Xian nodded his head and walked into the palace as Su Mo followed closely after him.
Within the palace, Su Mo sat down on the futon opposite Saint Elder Zhen Xian.
“Su Mo, what is wrong?” Zhen Xian asked. He had seen the serious look on Su Mo’s face and guessed that something big was wrong.
“Senior Zhen Xian, recently when I try to break through, an image of my life will constantly appear in my mind and they are moments in my life that I cannot bear to deal with…!”
Su Mo swiftly explained the details to Saint Elder Zhen Xian.
After hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhen Xian fell silent and entered a trance, as he was pondering over the matter.
“Senior Zhen Xian, what is going on? I have never met such a situation before.” Su Mo asked in a deep tone.
“It is an inner demon!” Saint Elder Zhen Xian sighed.
“Inner demon?” Su Mo immediately frowned. He knew what an inner demon was. However, why would he suddenly have an inner demon out of nowhere?
Furthermore, this inner demon was too strange! Why did it only appear as he was breaking through his rank!
Su Mo asked Saint Elder Zhen Xian these questions.
“I am not too sure myself. How about this? Let’s ask the sect leader, he is a King Sage and is highly knowledgeable. He should be able to help you figure out what is going on!” Saint Elder Zhen Xian shook his head.
“King Sage!” Su Mo exclaimed in surprise. Was there such a rank in the Martial Sage Realm?
“King Sage is just a name for a Martial Sage who is in the Great Completion Rank. It is the rank just below an Empty God!” Saint Elder Zhen Xian explained.
Su Mo nodded in realization.
With that, the two left the palace and headed into the inner sect to look for the sect leader.
The living quarters of the sect leader were in a different section of the mountain.
Very quickly, they both arrived before a stone palace.
“Come in!”
Just as the two arrived before the gates, a hoarse man’s voice emerged from the palace and the gates opened.
Saint Elder Zhen Xian led Su Mo into the palace.
Su Mo arrived in the main hall of the palace and met the sect leader, Quan Ming.
“Zhen Xian, what did you find me for?” Wearing a grey long robe, Quan Ming sat on the main seat of the hall with a stern looking face. His gaze shifted from Su Mo to Zhen Xian as he asked.
“Sect Leader, I have a matter that I need your help with!” Saint Elder Zhen Xian cupped his fists towards Quan Ming and asked in a sincere tone.
“What is it?” Quan Ming raised his hand and accepted Zhen Xian’s salutation.
With that, Saint Elder Zhen Xian carefully briefed Quan Ming on Su Mo’s inner demon.
Once he had explained the situation, Saint Elder Zhen Xian asked in a deep voice, “this is obviously no simple matter. Do you know what is wrong?”
Quan Ming fell silent and started thinking.
On the other hand, Saint Elder Zhen Xian and Su Mo remained silent as they waited for the Sect Leader to finish.
“Su Mo, your beliefs have culminated into an inner demon. Although this demon is formless, it exists in your mind!”
A few moments later, Quan Ming spoke in a low voice. Su Mo was a True Path Sect disciple and although he wasn’t on familiar terms with Su Mo, Su Mo was close to Zhen Xian and hence, he would lend Su Mo a hand.
“An Inner Demon? Sect Leader, why did this demon suddenly appear?” Su Mo cupped his fists towards Quan Ming and asked.
He had to figure out this matter or breaking through ranks in the future would be 100 times harder than it was before.
“According to what I know, there are a few reasons for an inner demon to appear!”
Quan Ming’s face remained silent and he spoke. After a short while, he continued, “Firstly, it might be because your beliefs and personality are too deep, in addition to the lack of will, it can cause the birth of an inner demon!”
“That is not possible!” Su Mo immediately shook his head.
His will was strong and stable. Furthermore, the inner demon had suddenly appeared, it was strange for what Quan Ming said to be the said cause of the inner demon.
If his personality was too deep and his willpower weak, the inner demon would have appeared much earlier and not waited until now.
“If it isn’t because of that, it might be because someone did something that spurred the birth of the inner demon!” Quan Ming continued.
“Someone’s actions?” Su Mo’s eyes brimmed brightly and he immediately thought of the Sorcerer Tribe.
“That’s right. However, this secret technique is rare and the most famous of the curses of the Sorcerer Tribe!” Quan Ming nodded his head.
“A curse!” Once he heard Quan Ming’s words, Su Mo’s face turned as black as water. He immediately knew that the Sorcerer Tribe was the culprit.
No wonder!
No wonder the Sorcerer Tribe had retreated so easily previously. It wasn’t solely Li Tongtian’s appearance that had chased them off.
“Sect leader, I have a deep grudge against the Sorcerer Tribe and I believe that I have been cursed. How can I break this curse?” Su Mo stood up and cupped his fists towards Quan Ming.
“If it is a curse, than that is troublesome!” Quan Ming’s face turned solemn.
Su Mo sighed dejectedly as his heart fell.
“Sect Leader, I have heard of the curses of the Sorcerer Tribe. There should be a way to break the curse right?” Saint Elder Zhen Xian said. He was not too worried. As long as there was a way, he could request help from an expert of the Myriad World Mountain.
“There is a way!”
Quan Ming nodded his head and said, “This curse is not the most evil of the Sorcerer Tribe’s curses. There are 3 ways to break it!”
“Sect Leader, please advise me!” Su Mo earnestly requested.
“There are only 3 ways to break the curse. Firstly, you can reverse the calamity that befell you, and the inner demon will disappear!”
Quan Ming continued, “secondly, use your willpower to break the seal of your calamity. Thirdly, kill the person who cursed you!”
Once Quan Ming had explained the 3 ways, Su Mo fell silent.
The first way was definitely not possible for him. To reverse the calamity would mean reincarnating Qian Xunyue.
If he could do that, he wouldn’t have waited so long to do it.
The second way to use his will to break the seal seemed possible.
Meanwhile, the third way, to kill the person who cursed him, seemed hard. Until now, he didn’t know who was the exact person who had cursed him.
Was it the Sorcerer Tribe Leader, Wu Jing?
Chong Shen?
Or Elder Jia Shen?
Perhaps, it could even be another person… Grand Priest Wu Lun?
“Su Mo, you only have the 3rd choice!”
At that point, Quan Ming spoke again, “If you rely on your willpower, it can only deal with the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem. Even if you break the seal of the curse and successfully break through to raise your cultivation rank, the curse will act up and become stronger and stronger, causing your advancement in cultivation rank to be harder and harder!”
“The 3rd way?”
Su Mo laughed bitterly, “Sect Leader, until now, I don’t know who cursed me!”
“That is easy. The moment your curse acts up, the culprit will be able to feel it. This curse isn’t a lethal curse and the culprit will come to you since he can feel the location!” Quan Ming said.
“Oh?” Su Mo’s eyes brightened. If that was the case, the Sorcerer Tribesmen would definitely come after him to kill him since he was in Mingxu Galaxy.
However, if the culprit was one of the three Empty Gods of the Sorcerer Tribe, there was nothing he could do even if he knew the identity of the culprit!
Unless he borrowed the help of Myriad World Mountain to kill the culprit. However, Myriad World Mountain might not want to help him kill an Empty God!
After all, this matter was grave and the Sorcerer Tribe wasn’t one that anyone wanted to become enemies with.
