Warrior's Promise

Elder Lin Wanru did not stop there and she continued to treat Qian Xunyue.

Rich green Power Source was being emitted from her palms and engulfed Qian Xunyue and the coffin to form a huge green beam.

Elder Lin Wanru formed several seals and thwacked them into the green beam.

Runes circled above the green beam and released immense vitality.

It was a long process and it took several hours.

Su Mo knew that Elder Lin Wanru was strengthening Qian Xunyue’s will. It was similar to strengthening her Mental Stigma.

The entire process took 10 hours to complete.

‘The runes dispersed and the green Power Source flowed back into Lin Wanru’s body like a stream.

Once again, the coffin and Qian Xunyue’s body appeared before Su Mo’s eyes.

Su Mo was shocked when he took a closer look. Qian Xunyue’s eyes were opened.

Whoosh!

He immediately dashed to the coffin and fixed his gaze on Qian Xunyue’s flawless face.

However, Su Mo sighed secretly. Although Qian Xunyue was wide awake, she was brain-dead.

The bright eyes that she used to have had become lifeless and dull. She looked like a zombie.

Although Qian Xunyue looked as though she had awakened, she remained dead.

“Wu Shan, this lady’s physical body is no different from the rest of the people. Her Mental Stigma has been strengthened by tenfold and that’s the best that I can do for her.”

Elder Lin Wanru said. She sighed and continued, saying, “The Mental Stigma is, after all, a Mental Stigma. There is no spiritual consciousness and memories and she is like the living dead.”

“Thank you, elder. I will not forget your kindness!” Su Mo said as he bowed to Lin Wanru.

“Don’t mention it. You will have to return this favor soon!” Elder Lin Wantu said.

When Su Mo heard this, he was baffled. Although he did not know what Elder Lin Wanru meant, he did not ask her.

After sizing Qian Xunyue up, Su Mo asked, “Elder, how long can she live?”

“10,000 years or more.” Elder Lin Wanru replied.

‘When Su Mo heard the response, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that Qian Xunyue could live up to 10,000 years.

If he was still alive after 10,000 years, his cultivation level would reach the peak and he would be able to save her.

“Elder Lin, my disciple and I owe you a favor. Thank you for your help!” Reverend Jin Wu said.

“Don’t mention it, Elder Jin Wu,” Lin Wanru replied with a smile.

After Elder Jin Wu and Lin Wanru had chatted for a while, he bid her farewell.

Soon, Elder Jin Wu and Su Mo left Clear Moon Branch.

“Wu Shan, do you know why Elder Lin wants you to remember that you owe her a favor?”

Elder Jin Wu asked Su Mo while they were on their way back to Palmy Branch.

“She must have thought highly of my talent, and she may need my help in the future,” Su Mo replied.

“Indeed, she thinks highly of your talent. However, she will need your help soon,” Elder Jin Wu said.

“Will she need my help soon?” With a perplexed look, Su Mo asked, “Teacher, what do you mean?”

“You will know when the time comes.” Elder Jin Wu smiled and did not answer Su Mo’s question.

When Su Mo saw that Elder Jin Wu refused to disclose it to him, he did not press on. He was not concerned about it.

He was happy that Qian Xunyue’s condition had improved. He no longer had to worry about her, nor did he have to rush back to the Cosmic World.

Su Mo and Elder Jin Wu did not talk to each other during their journey and finally, they were back to Palmy City.

After Su Mo had returned to Palmy City, he immediately went into seclusion. He decided to push his way up to the Supreme Being Realm.

There was not much of a difference between the Supreme Being Realm and the True God Realm. The main difference was the tremendous increase in the Power Source followed by great momentum.

Using a Supreme Being who had cultivated the Fire-based Power Source as an example. Every stroke that he displayed contained the power of the Heavens and Earth. Although there was no form nor visibility, it truly existed.

Only those with high attainments in the Rules possessed such momentum. In other words, one had to have a high level of comprehension of the Rules.

‘There was no apparent standard, and when one possessed a higher level of the Rules, it would make it easier for them to have a breakthrough. That said, it was the same the other way around.

In other words, one’s Rules had to be at least at Rank 6 Middle Realm in order to break through to the Supreme Being Realm.

Su Mo’s Devouring Rules had reached Rank 6 Beginning Realm, and he would need a long period of time to reach Rank 6 Middle Realm. He could need another eight years or more to do so.

However, since he had merged with Zang Renjie’s Five Element Rule, which was at Rank 6 Middle Realm, Su Mo had barely met the minimum requirement.

Coincidentally, the Rules of the Flames that he had merged with were at Rank 6 Middle Realm.

Thus, Su Mo would be able to break through to the Supreme Being Realm in no time.

Su Mo put away all disturbing thoughts and focused on his cultivation. He condensed his cultivation level and put together the power of the Rules and prepared himself for the breakthrough.

‘The process was extremely slow. After all, he had just reached Rank 9 Advanced True God Realm.

However, Su Mo was not in a hurry to have a breakthrough as he no longer felt burdened. Qian Xunyue could live for a long period of time.

Time passed quickly as Su Mo immersed himself in cultivation. Days passed, and then years passed.

Not only was Su Mo cultivating in seclusion, but the geniuses at the various branches in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance were cultivating as well. All of them, including Ling Chang, were trying to break through to the Supreme Being Realm.

Everyone knew that the Headquarters Selection was around the corner, and only the Supreme Beings could get into the Headquarters and soar thereafter.

If one did not get into the Headquarters, they would not have a bright future regardless of their talent. At most, one could become an elder in one of the branches.

After one got into the Headquarters, they could enjoy precious resources. They would have a bright future and have the opportunity to become the Sovereign of Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and rule over Cloud Ridge World.

Basically, all the Chief Elders were disciples of the Headquarters. Thus, it was important for the disciples to get into the Headquarters

After many years, the door at the secret chamber in Su Mo’s palace opened.

Su Mo stepped out of it.

Istill have some time!

Su Mo stood outside the palace and let out a breath as he looked into the sky.

30 years!

He was surprised that he had taken 30 years to reach the Supreme Being Realm.

He had anticipated that he would need 20 years to do so but he had achieved it with an additional 10 years.

He had been unable to do so as he could not use the Five Element Rule and the Rules of the Flames to break through to the Supreme Being Realm. He had had to bring the level of his Devouring Rules to Rank 6 Middle Realm in order to have the breakthrough.

Although he had devoured and merged the Five Element Rule and the Rules of the Flames and could use them freely, they were different from the Devouring Rules. He was unable to control them completely and to have a good grasp of them.

After all, he had snatched them away from somebody else and they were not his own.

After Su Mo had sensed the power of his cultivation level in his body, he was overjoyed. Back then at the Deity Plane, he had been dreaming about reaching the Supreme Being Realm. Finally, he had made it.

I wonder if Ling Chang has reached the Supreme Being Realm. Su Mo wondered as he walked toward Ling Chang’s palace. Although Ling Chang had a lower cultivation level than Su Mo, she should have been able to reach the Supreme Being Realm after more than 30 years.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, someone appeared before Su Mo in a flash.

It was a lady. However, she was not Ling Chang but Senior Sister Lin Ya..
