Once he had escorted Yun Youyou out of the palace, Su Mo returned to the cultivation room and began his training.
With a flip of his palm, four shining jade bangles appeared and he quickly checked through them.
The 4 Middle Sacred Class martial skills were the metal, ground, wood and water elements.
These 4 skills were unordinary and they were the Split Heavens Sacred Skill, Blue Skies Sacred Skill, Holy Water Sacred Art and the Heaven and Earth Sacred Skill.
Perhaps due to the fact that they were all Sacred Class skills, all of them carried a ‘Sacred’ word in their names.
Placing down the water, wood and ground skills for now, Su Mo began to look through the Split Heavens Sacred Skill. This skill appeared to be as mysterious and strong as the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill.
However, since he was only just starting to comprehend the skill, it was relatively easy to master it to the beginning of the first rank.
The Split Heavens Sacred Skill was a purely metal-based martial skill which had terrifying strength. Dark Force used in the skill brimmed brightly with sharp radiance and appeared to be able to split the skies.
After more than a day of comprehending it, Su Mo finally mastered the first rank of the Split Heavens Sacred Skill.
In the following few days, Su Mo was absorbed in cultivating. Once he had mastered the first rank of the Split Heavens Sacred Skill, he began to cultivate the Holy Water Sacred Skill and the remaining martial skills.
Time flew by without a care in the world, and very quickly, half a month had passed by in the blink of an eye.
Su Mo opened his sharp and intelligent eyes in the cultivation room.
Light yellow Dark Force rolled out from his body. It was filled with thick, pure and dense aura.
His body was like a void and it instantly sucked all the residual Dark Force back into his body.
“I finally mastered the first rank of it!” Su Mo’s mouth widened in joy and stretched into a smile.
Within half a month, Su Mo managed to master all 4 martial skills to the first rank and, in addition to the earlier Firmament Sacred Fire Skill, all 5 martial skills were mastered to the first rank.
“The Heaven and Earth Sacred Skill is the strongest!” Su Mo muttered to himself. From the training that he had done, he felt that the ground-based Heaven and Earth Sacred Skill was the strongest among the 5 skills.
Although they were all Middle Sacred Skills, there were still stronger and weaker ones among each rank, though the difference between them was small.
What made Su Mo most surprised was that the Dark Force from the Heaven and Earth Sacred Skill felt similar to the Heaven and Earth Qi that he had sucked out of the Ancient Dragon Vein previously.
“That Heaven and Earth Qi must be a ground-based origin energy!”
Su Mo guessed. However, that was no matter to him. Now that he had mastered the 5 Middle Sacred Class Skills, he was going to merge them together now.
The days left until the crowning ceremony were passing by and Su Mo had to successfully merge the Dark Force together before it arrived.
Otherwise, he might as well give up on the mission.
With that, Su Mo began to cultivate the Firmament Sacred Fire Skill, Split Heavens Sacred Skill, Holy Water Sacred Art and the Blue Skies Sacred Skill.
Since the ground-based Heaven and Earth Sacred Skill was the strongest, each of the four other skills must be enhanced to achieve a balance between them and successfully merge them together.
After 8 days of cultivating, Su Mo finally stopped and began the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill.
5-element Dark Force circulated like a large river, crashing through his meridians in his body, causing Su Mo to shake slightly.
Without much difficulty, he steered the five Sacred martial skill easily, making it no harder than controlling 5 Imperial martial skills.
This strengthened Su Mo’s belief that the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill was a Saint Class skill.
He was not hurried and after a long while, he began to merge them together in pairs.
This merging process was considered routine for Su Mo by now.
If any elemental Dark Force was too weak, he would train it further. After 3 days of trial and error, balance was achieved between the five elemental Dark Force so that the three-colored Dark Force could be merged together.
“Incredibly strong!”
Dazzling three-colored Dark Force circled on Su Mo’s palm and gave out a mesmerizing aura. Even Su Mo was surprised by the forces of the aura.
Just from that alone, Su Mo could feel that the three-colored Dark Force had exceeded the chaotic energy before.
Su Mo was highly excited as he wondered how strong the chaotic energy would be.
This increase in his fighting strength would definitely be even greater than if he had broken through to the Rank 8 Martial Honorable.
Once the three colored Dark Force was merged and maintained, Su Mo began to merge chaotic energy.
With a mental thought, he entered the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda. The defensive strength of the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda was strong and inside it, he would be much safer in case the explosion of the chaotic energy destroyed his palace.
Since he had already done the merging before, although the Dark Force strength had increased, the balance between the Dark Force was still an important step in the process. Su Mo smoothly merged the chaotic energy and succeeded on his first try.
Boom!
Yet, the first merged chaotic energy had quickly exploded after being maintained for one third of a breath.
Not only that, the strong shockwaves of the attack smashed Su Mo’s body into the walls of the pagoda strongly.
If not for the protective Dark Force that shrouded him, Su Mo could have been injured from the explosion.
“This is the real chaotic energy!”
Su Mo exclaimed in glee as his eyes shone brightly. It was so strong, almost 10 times stronger than the chaotic energy he had merged before.
As expected, the rise in strength of his martial skill would increase the purity of the elemental Dark Force, raising the power of the chaotic energy.
Try again!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions sounded unstoppably as the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda shook in shock with each one.
With every trial and every explosion of the chaotic energy, Su Mo took them as a failure and an improvement.
The stabilization duration of the chaotic energy increased rapidly from one third of a breath of time to one breath of time.
However, Su Mo did not stop trying. The crowning ceremony was near and he had to continue trying to merge the chaotic energy and stabilize it.
Just like that, 10 days passed before Su Mo finally stopped the trials and walked out of the Seven-colored Glazed Pagoda.
By now, the improvement that he had made with the stabilization of the chaotic energy had reached a duration of 2 full breaths of time.
Whew!
As Su Mo walked out of the pagoda, he heaved a long sigh of relief. His figure stood upright and he appeared more confident in himself.
With his current strength, he might be able to crush even Hu Sheng in the span of one breath.
“There is 1 month left to the crowning ceremony!” As he sat in the yard, Su Mo wore a dark look on his face.
Although his strength had increased exponentially, he wasn’t sure whether he could kill the genius Mo Xiao.
After all, the demon genius had become a Martial Sage by 100 years old and could be considered a top genius. Su Mo wondered how strong he was.
Shaking his head helplessly, Su Mo did not ponder the mission further and thought to himself whether he should head out to get updated on what had happened.
Although Elder Jia Shen had arrived at Sun Moon City, nothing had happened and Su Mo didn’t know what scheme the elder was planning.
However, he didn’t want to risk heading out recklessly, lest he be ambushed by Elder Jia Shen.
“Oh right, isn’t Lyu Gang in Sun Moon Tribe?” Su Mo brightened up. He recalled Saint Elder Zhen Xian mentioning that Lyu Gang had entered the Sun Moon Tribe. As such, Lyu Gang should be in Wendao City.
