Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Ultimate Supreme Being was excited and full of anticipation. After he had walked out of the secret chamber, he left Dragon City.
Su Mo walked out of the secret chamber and returned to the hall. He saw that Long Teng and the First Elder were still around.
“Su Mo, did you return the Ultimate Sword Art to him?” Long Teng asked as he stood up and looked at Su Mo anxiously. He noticed that the Ultimate Supreme Being looked excited when he left.
“Do you think I will do that?” Su Mo smiled and he did not say another word. Even if the Ultimate Supreme Being were to fail in his attempt to kill Zi Xiao, Su Mo would still get him to stand on his side.
“Oh?” When Long Teng heard Su Mo’s reply, he pondered for a while and nodded. He knew what Su Mo was thinking.
“First Elder, I have yet to thank you for your help back then!” Su Mo looked at Long Chang First Elder and cupped his fist at him.
“That’s not worth mentioning!” The First Elder waved his hand carelessly as he knew that Su Mo was referring to the incident where he had stopped Di Zang Supreme Being from attacking Su Mo.
“First Elder, if you have some time, I would like to ask you a few questions!” Su Mo said.
“Take a seat!” The First Elder waved his sleeve and signaled Su Mo to a seat before he said, “What questions do you have? Feel free to ask me!”
“First Elder, what are your views about Di Yihun, Tuoba Qingyun, and me?” Su Mo asked grimly.
When the First Elder heard Su Mo’s questions, he pondered for a while before saying, “Frankly speaking, out of the three of you, you have the greatest potential. However, you are at high risk. Although you have our Dragon Tribe and Human Palace to protect you at the moment, we can ensure your safety only for a while.”
Su Mo looked grave as he listened quietly. He did not interrupt and simply heard the First Elder out.
“If Di Yihun or Tuoba Qingyun manages to have a breakthrough, your life will be at risk. Moreover, once the other Holy Courts start to take sides with either of them, you will be in danger as well,” The First Elder said in a deep voice.
“Indeed!” Su Mo nodded. The situation was against him. The protection that he could receive from the Dragon Tribe was limited as no one knew Tun Xu Dragon Emperor’s intentions.
Although Su Mo’s life was tied to Long Teng, no one could predict the future.
“First Elder, what do you think of the Dragon Emperor?” Su Mo asked.
“The Dragon Emperor….!” The First Elder was silent. He had some idea about the Dragon Emperor’s ambitions.
“We have no idea what’s on his mind. However, with Long Teng around, he will not harm you!” The First Elder replied.
It was not appropriate for the First Elder to disclose to Long Teng and Su Mo the Dragon Emperor’s ambitions. If he had done so, it would be detrimental to the Dragon Emperor.
Su Mo was silent when he heard the First Elder’s reply. Will the Dragon Emperor not deal with him?
One could not be sure. The Dragon Emperor might not harm him for the time being because of Long Teng, but no one could guarantee if he would do so in the future.
The Dragon Emperor and Long Teng were not of the same mind and he had no intention of protecting Su Mo.
Su Mo felt that even Long Teng might get into danger in the Dragon Tribe.
“First Elder, do you have any idea how I can defeat Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun?” Su Mo asked. As an outsider, the First Elder would have a clearer picture of the situation.
“The only way is to make the two of them fight each other so that you can have more time to strengthen yourself!”
The First Elder looked profound and he said gravely, “They may not be able to deal with you at the moment but, they are not far from breaking through to the Advanced Supreme Being Realm. You are too far behind them.”
“You are right!” Su Mo nodded. However, it would not be easy to trigger a fight between Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.
Previously, Su Mo could have depended on Jiang Fengran and Zhan Luan to pick up a quarrel with the disciples from the two palaces to worsen the relationship. They had even instigated the disciples to fight each other.
However, now that Su Mo had appeared, Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace would no longer act rashly.
Moreover, even if the two palaces were to get into a fight, Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun would not get involved. They would be working on their cultivation to hasten their breakthrough.
The Ultimate Supreme Being may be able to help me! Su Mo thought to himself. If Su Mo were to merge a Primordial Spirit for the Ultimate Supreme Being, the Ultimate Supreme Being’s talent and strength would be greatly enhanced and he would be on par with Tun Xu Dragon Emperor.
Su Mo suddenly had an idea of how he could buy some time for himself.
“By the way, the various Holy Courts have been talking about the Deity Plane’s Grand Array. In the next few years, the Great Ancient Array will be shifting its position,” the First Elder suddenly mentioned.
“Oh? Is it changing its position soon?” Su Mo’s eyes lit up when he heard what the First Elder had said. His men from the Firmament Palace would be able to come to the Deity Plane once that happened.
“That’s right. We are getting short of resources in the Deity Plane, and the vitality in the area has dwindled. The Rules of the area have become weaker and thus it is about time for us to change the position of the Array!” The First Elder nodded.
“Elder, can we go to the Lower Plane if the position changes?” Su Mo asked hastily. That was important to him. If Di Yihun knew about the Firmament Palace in the Lower Plane, there would be trouble if he decided to go there.
“Only the force who changes the position of the Array is allowed to go down to the Lower Plane.” The First Elder replied.
“Which force is in charge of doing so?” Long Teng asked curiously as he had no idea about it.
“Changing the position of the Array is a grand event, and the force who is in charge of it will get lots of privileges. All the forces will have to go through a test to decide who will get to change the position.” The First Elder explained.
“What kind of test?” Su Mo and Long Teng asked simultaneously.
“The test is known as the Thousand Selection Fight. The winner will be selected from 1,000 participants. The force that the winner belongs to will get to change the position.” The First Elder replied.
“Where will the test be held and how will it be carried out?” Su Mo asked. He was worried that Heavenly Palace would get to change the position of the Array and when that happened, they would be doomed.
Although Heavenly Palace did not possess great power and it seemed unlikely for them to win the fight, Su Mo had no idea if Di Yihun had something up his sleeve.
“The Thousand Selection Fight has always been held in the Chaotic Holy Court. The eight Holy Courts. the 81 regions in Sky Pool, and all the geniuses from the various forces who are below the Supreme Being Realm are allowed to participate.”
The First Elder continued to explain, “So far, we do not have 1,000 geniuses whose levels are comparable to the Favored Ones’.”
“What are the rules?” Su Mo asked as he knitted his brows. If all the Favored Ones who were below the Supreme Being Realm could participate in the Fight, that would not be advantageous to them.
After all, many of the Favored Ones were Rank 9 True Gods, and Su Mo’s cultivation level was way too low.
“I’m not sure about the rules. So far, the Array has changed its position three times, and every time there has been changes made to the rules. The various Holy Courts will see to them!” The First Elder said as he shook his head.
Oh no! Su Mo and Long Teng looked at each other and they saw the worried looks on each other’s face.
If the rules were against them, they would be in great trouble.
“At the moment, the Holy Courts have just started their discussion. No one has any idea yet when they will be holding the Thousand Selection Fight!” The First Elder said as he shook his head. He was unaware of the worries that Su Mo and Long Teng had.
“First Elder, please let us know once you have any news about this!” Su Mo said as he stood up and cupped his fist at the First Elder.
“Sure!”
The First Elder nodded and said, “I’m telling you about this as I hope you can participate in this test.”
Although the First Elder was baffled over why Su Mo was so anxious about it, he did not read too much into it.
The Thousand Selection Fight was a fair competition for all the forces. The First Elder thought highly of Su Mo’s talent and strength and he hoped that Su Mo could participate. With Su Mo around, the Dragon Tribe would stand a higher chance to change the position of the Array.
“If it’s possible, I will definitely participate!” Su Mo nodded. He would definitely take part unless it was to his disadvantage. If it turned out to be so, he would have to look for alternative solutions.
“Great! I will inform you once I receive news about it!” The First Elder stood up and waved his sleeve and said: “Since you have no more questions for me, I shall leave now!”
“Goodbye, First Elder!”
Su Mo bowed at the First Elder, and Long Teng cupped his fist at him.. Both of them were respectful to him.
