Su Mo walked out of the tower with Tian Cheng and Hua Suiyu following closely behind.
"Su Mo, you've attained Enlightenment Realm?" Tian Chen's eyes widened with shock as he noticed Su Mo's cultivation.
Two days ago, Su Mo was still at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm. Within two days, he had managed to skip past Lv 9 True Spirit Realm and attain Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm. How was that possible?
Tian Chen, a peerless genius himself, was still stunned!
This was completely unbelieveable. Even if Su Mo had absorbed Spiritual Stones or Spiritual Herbs for two days straight, he would still not have been able to progress so quickly.
Martial artists at True Spirit Realm could only absorb Spiritual Stones at a limited speed of a few hundred Lower Spiritual Stones a day. Although taking Spiritual Herbs was more effective than absorbing Spiritual Stones, it would still not be enough to attain Enlightenment Realm so quickly.
Tian Chen was speechless!
Hua Suiyu was equally stunned for she too knew that Su Mo was at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm just two days ago.
"Haha, Seventh Senior Sister, Tenth Senior Brother, I was actually concealing my cultivation!" Su Mo lied when he saw their expressions.
"You concealed your cultivation?" Tian Chen and Hua Suiyu were shocked.
"Yes!"
Su Mo nodded and said, "I was actually at Peak Lv 9 True Spirit Realm before, but I used a secret skill to conceal my cultivaiton!"
Su Mo knew that his cultivation speed was beyond the acceptable range, so he lied to avoid further questioning.
"I see!" Tian Chen's and Hua Suiyu's faces relaxed.
Although breaking into the Enlightenment Realm from Peak Lv 9 True Spirit Realm in two days was still a stunning feat, it was at believable.
"Su Mo, I guess you got lucky and came across some kind of powerful treasure of heaven and earth!" Tian Chen said with a smile. If not for an amazing treasure, there was no way Su Mo could progress so quickly.
"Yes!" Su Mo nodded and thought that the Spiritual Herbs he had devoured basically counted as a treasure.
"Tenth Junior Brother, Su Mo has already reached Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm, which is the same cultivation as yours. As his Senior Brother, don't let yourself get surpassed by your Junior Brother!" teased Hua Suiyu.
"Hehe!"
Tian Chen smiled and said, "Junior Brother Su Mo, you still have some way to go to surpass me. I'm at Peak Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm, and in just one month, I will reach Lv 2."
"Haha! Then you have to work hard, Senior Brother! Otherwise, I'll soon surpass you!" Su Mo chuckled.
At this moment, there was a sharp whistling sound, and three rainbows appeared above Towering Sky Peak.
The rainbows then dissipated and revealed three figures.
The leader was a middle-aged man in purple with a tough expression and menacing aura. His domineering presence filled the area, and his cultivation was indiscernible.
The other two were teenagers who were a little over 20. One wore a black robe, and the other wore a long white robe.
"Master is back!" Tian Chen and Hua Suiyu were overjoyed to see the three.
Su Mo's eyes lit up and stared intently at the middle aged man. "This is the Towering Sky Peak Master. The man who is second to only the Sect Master himself?"
The Peak Master glanced at Su Mo's group and immediately landed in front of the palace.
"Tian Chen, Sui Yu, bring him to see me!" said the Peak Master in a deep voice as he strode into the palace.
"Su Mo, let's go meet Master!" Tian Chen said as he led Su Mo to the palace.
Su Mo followed the other two into a large hall, where the Peak Master sat in the main seat with the two teenagers sitting below him.
"Tian Chen greets Master!"
"Hua Suiyu greets Master!" Tian Chen and Hua Suiyu bowed immediately.
"Greetings, Peak Master!" Su Mo immediately followed suit. Since he was not yet a disciple of Towering Sky Peak, he could only call him Peak Master.
"Hm!"
Towering Sky Peak Master raised his chin slightly, and his gaze bore into Su Mo. It was as if he could see right through him.
"Master, this is Su Mo. He came to join Towering Sky Peak. As his peer, I can't even beat him in battle!" Tian Chen said while pointing at Su Mo.
"Oh?"
The Peak Master and the two teenagers were all shocked. It was no easy feat to defeat Tian Chen.
"Su Mo, release your Martial Soul!" the Peak Master said in a deep voice. Su Mo may be a talented fighter, but he still had to see his Martial Soul's talent.
Su Mo nodded and after a moment's hesitation, a long black sword Martial Soul emerged from his body.
As a new arrival at Towering Sky Peak, Su Mo was still a little cautious, so he did not release his Devouring Martial Soul.
"Rank 7 Earth Class?" Towering Sky Peak Master looked at Su Mo's Martial Soul with a slight frown. Although a Rank 7 Earth Class Martial Soul was considered talented, it was still lacking.
Most of his disciples had Rank 1 Heaven Class Martial Souls, and even the lowest ones were at Rank 9 Earth Class, which was still ranked higher than Su Mo's.
Furthermore, Su Mo's long black sword Martial Soul seemed slightly faint and dull as it did not giving off a piercing radiance.
What the Peak Master did not know was that the sword Martial Soul looked so dull because it had been absorbed by Su Mo's Devouring Martial Soul.
Su Mo read the Peak Master's frown and instantly realized that a Rank 7 Earth Class Martial Soul would not be enough.
Then, he released another Rank 6 Earth Class long sword Martial Soul.
"Twin Martial Souls?" gasped Tian Chen, Hua Suiyu, and the two teenagers.
When the Peak Master saw Su Mo release two Martial Souls, his eyes lit up.
"Wow, Twin Martial Souls are hard to come by for centuries!" Towering Sky Peak Master nodded approvingly with a smile.
Su Mo's Martial Soul talent had earned his recognition!
With a Rank 7 Earth Class Martial Soul, even if Su Mo had displayed exceptional combat strength, Towering Sky Peak Master still might have not taken him as a disciple.
