Warrior's Promise

“If this goes through, will Shi Kong Sovereign be able to go beyond the era?” Su Mo asked in amazement. According to the information that he had received, as long as one could leave this Cosmic World and go to another world, they would be able to live beyond the era.

The entire Cosmic World would be destroyed at the end of the era. All the living creatures in the Cosmic World, including the ordinary people and the masters, would be destroyed.

If one could leave the Cosmic World and go to another world, they would be able to survive.

“Not only him. If this goes through, everyone will be able to live beyond the era. The people who possessed a certain level of strength will be able to leave the Cosmic World through Spatiotemporal City,” The Ultimate Supreme Being said as he shook his head.

“I see!” Su Mo was amazed when he heard what the Ultimate Supreme Being had said. It was a noble task but unfortunately, Shi Kong Sovereign had failed in his attempt.

“Elder, will the people whose cultivation levels are below the Supreme Being Realm be able to go through Spatiotemporal City?” Su Mo asked curiously. No one would be able to go to the end of the 33 levels in Time Holy Hall, let alone the Space Gate. At the least, the martial artists who were not Supreme Beings would not be able to do so.

“Shi Kong Sovereign was an outstanding person. He possessed the Spatiotemporal Primordial Spirit and had a good grasp of the Rules of Time and Space. Back then when he refined the Spatiotemporal City, he merged his supreme power into the Rules and linked them to the void.”

The Ultimate Supreme Being looked up to the sky and explained to Su Mo in a distant voice, “If you enter level 33 in the Time Holy Hall, you will have entered deep into the void. Given your speed, level 33 is a few million years away from the Deity Plane.”

“Ah! Is it that far?” Su Mo was dumbstruck when he heard what the Ultimate Supreme Being had said. He was surprised to learn that level 33 in the Time Holy Hall was a few million years away from the Deity Plane. He found it to be too much of an exaggeration.

“Things don’t go according to will. Shi Kong Sovereign spent his life looking for other tunnels that would connect him to the other worlds but he died in the end. He left the Spatiotemporal City behind to help the people who followed in his footsteps so that the top powers in the Deity Plane could leave through the City to look for the other worlds.”

The Ultimate Supreme Being did not keep the matter from Su Mo. It was not a secret as all the top powers in the Deity Plane knew about it. Shortly, the Ultimate Supreme Being continued and said, “It’s either that Shi Kong Sovereign didn’t want those people who take that path to lose their lives, or the Spatiotemporal City contained his will. People who are not Supreme Beings will not be able to reach level 33.”

“I see!” Su Mo was enlightened. Shi Kong Sovereign was indeed a noble person. Although he had failed in his attempt, he had paved part of the way for the people who came after him.

“What about the other masters like the Chaos God Emperor and Chaotic Archosaur?” Su Mo asked. He was concerned with the matter as the destruction of the Cosmic World was around the corner.

“Most of the older masters from the Primordial Age have left for the deep void. They were searching for the path to leave the Cosmic World. They could return once in a blue moon, but it has been some time since they last left. I can’t remember when was the last time they came back!”

The Ultimate Supreme Being continued with a sad and lonely look and said, “They may have reached the other worlds, or they may have died. They may have even lost their way in the void and been unable to find their way back.”

When Su Mo heard it, he was silent. All the masters from the Primordial Age were mighty and invincible!

However, they could not run away from their fates. Although they had reached the peak of the Cosmic World, they could not change their fates.

“Other than the masters from the older generation, there were more than 10 masters in the Deity Plane. Some of them left through Spatiotemporal City before Shi Kong Sovereign passed on, and some became masters after he passed away. We have no idea what happened to them or whether they are still alive!” The Ultimate Supreme Being said.

“Do you not know what happened to them or if they are still alive?” Su Mo muttered to himself. He was keen to know about the actual situation but he believed that the Ultimate Supreme Being had no idea about it.

“Elder, have you ever left the Cosmic World?” Su Mo asked.

“Of course not! That would be as good as digging my own grave!” The Ultimate Supreme Being shook his head as he replied. Those who had left the Cosmic World were masters. If they were not at that level, they would be bound to lose their lives.

There was nothing deep in the void. There was no Spiritual Qi, direction, or resources. The masters had been working hard to find the paths but to no avail.

The Ultimate Supreme Being looked at Su Mo and said grimly, “After I have obtained the Primordial Spirit and become a master, I will definitely leave this world.”

“You will be able to fulfill your wish!” Su Mo smiled. He stopped asking the Ultimate Supreme Being any questions and headed toward Empty Jade Sect.

Su Mo did not see a need for him to find out too much information about it at that moment. He would do so after he had defeated Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.

“I hope so!”

The Ultimate Supreme Being nodded and followed Su Mo. If Su Mo were to take back his word, the Ultimate Supreme Being would definitely tear him into pieces.

Soon, the two of them came to the mountain gate at Empty Jade Sect. To prevent himself from being discovered, the Ultimate Supreme Being had changed his looks and aura.

He was not afraid of getting into danger but he was afraid of being recognized. His reputation would be at stake if the people knew that he was Su Mo’s bodyguard.

“Who are you?”

There were four disciples guarding the mountain gate at Empty Jade Sect. The leader was a tough-looking youth. His cultivation level was at Rank 4 Lower True God Realm.

When he saw Su Mo and the Ultimate Supreme Being at the mountain gate, he stepped forth and blocked their way.

“I would like to meet Elder Yu Xuzi,” Su Mo said grimly as he cupped his fist at the tough-looking youth.

“Do you wish to meet our Sect Leader?” The tough-looking youth started to size Su Mo and the Ultimate Supreme Being up when he heard what Su Mo had said. He perceived that Su Mo’s cultivation level was at Rank 4 Advanced True God Realm. However, there was no way for him to check on the Ultimate Supreme Being as there seemed to be a mysterious power blocking off his perceptivity.

“Who are you, and why do you wish to meet our Sect Leader?” The tough-looking youth asked loudly. He could not let anyone enter the mountain gate without checking on them as it was his duty to do so.

“I have something to discuss with Elder Yu Xuzi. Please help me pass this message to him!” Su Mo replied with a smile.

“Tell me your name and what you wish to discuss with our Sect Leader.” The tough-looking youth continued to question Su Mo and he did not inform the Sect Leader.

Su Mo frowned when the tough-looking youth continued to question him. The youth was responsible and he carried out his duty faithfully.

“There’s no point talking to him!” The Ultimate Supreme Being said coldly. He waved his sleeve and an invisible power swirled out, freezing the tough-looking youth and the other disciples.

“This…!”

Su Mo was speechless. However, since things had turned out that way, he did not wish to intervene. He went ahead and walked into Empty Jade Sect.

Eh? Something’s not right!

The minute Su Mo stepped into the mountain gate, he started to frown. He felt that something was amiss.

It was strange for the mountain gate of a big sect to be so quiet.

Although the scale of Empty Jade Sect was nothing compared to the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace or Human Palace, they had tens of thousands of disciples. The mountain gate should have been bustling with people.

However, the mountain gate was extremely quiet and not a single soul was around.
