The king flew at a fast pace and within a day, he arrived at Trinity Star.
Trinity Star rapidly increased in size in the field of Su Mo’s vision.
“This speed is enough to traverse galaxies and travel to every barren star already!” Su Mo marvelled inwardly. He felt that the king’s speed was sufficient to tour through stars like he was on holiday.
A few moments later, they shot past Trinity Star’s nine heavens’ atmosphere and arrived in the skies of the star.
The king proceeded forward as though he were a horse carriage rushing to ferry its customers to a city.
Not long later, they arrived at Lake Guang where numerous cities floated in the air.
Boom boom boom!!!
The king’s high speed broke the air and it was as though he were a mystical dragon that flew through the skies. In the blink of an eye, he was above the cities in the skies.
Thereafter, he slowed down and allowed the group to arrive in front of the doors of the cities in the skies.
A large plain, around a kilometer wide, resided outside the doors of the cities.
In the west and east of the plain were two large mountains that looked like door-gods who guarded the city.
At that point, a large crowd of people had gathered on the plains and a quick glance raised the count to no less than 20,000 people.
What was more surprising was that the majority of this crowd members were Martial Honorables and there were even about 200 Martial Sages.
Chaotic voices filled the sky and the aura of the crowd gathered together shot to the nine heavens.
“Look, those are the people of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction!”
“That is the king of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, his power has increased!”
“Who is Su Mo?”
“Su Mo has probably come as well!”
As soon as the group of Imperial Ancestor Court Faction members arrived, many eyes fell upon them as many people stared at the king.
Even more people scanned the group of people behind the king as they were curious as to whether Su Mo had come.
Evidently, Su Mo was a greater point of interest for the crowd.
“He is here. The young man in the white long robe is Su Mo!”
“He really came!”
“My god, a Rank 7 Martial Honorable already. His cultivation rank has risen so quickly!”
“A Rank 7 Martial Honorable is nothing in the face of the godly talents!”
Once the crowd had spotted Su Mo, chatter erupted among them.
Everyone was curious about the man who had wreaked havoc in the Sorcerer Tribe. He was rumored to be a godly talent and they wondered if he really was as powerful as the rumors claimed.
Up in the air, Su Mo frowned slightly. He could feel many people’s gazes on him, like rays of light shooting into his back. Among these gazes, a portion were from Martial Sages and he felt as though he was being violated.
However, Su Mo took a scan and didn’t find any Sorcerer Tribesmen. It seemed that they had not arrived yet.
The king took a side glance at Su Mo behind him and did not say anything. With a jerk, he pulled the group of people onto the ground of the plains.
“Long time no see, Brother Gu!”
“Brother Gu, I didn’t expect that you would lead the group yourself. You are pretty late!”
“Brother Gu, I haven’t seen you for 20 years since the last time we met. Let’s catch up after the Sky Dragon Contest!”
Not far away, 12 Martial Sages went forward to the king and cupped their fists towards him as they wore smiles on their faces.
“Brother Lie, Brother Xu, Brother Zhao, Brother Taishi…!” The king also did not stand idly and he cupped his fists towards the Martial Sages who greeted him.
Everyone nodded their heads. However, the scene was chaotic and it wasn’t suitable for them to converse further under numerous eyes.
“Su Mo, these are the men from the other 12 superpowers!”
Gu Tianyi stood beside Su Mo and whispered to him.
Su Mo jumped in realization. It seems that these men were from the 12 superpowers behind Shenwu Academy.
He casually scanned the group. The men were somewhat similar to the king and each superpower relied on a Martial Sage to lead them. There were about 200-1000 people from each of the superpowers.
Right at that moment, Su Mo squinted. He had spotted someone familiar.
This man was tall and had a smooth and clean face. Standing quietly in one corner, he did not appear to be eye catching.
He was the Divine Son of Shenwu Academy, Xuan Yuanlong.
As though he could feel Su Mo’s gaze on him, Xuan Yuanlong whipped his head around and nodded at Su Mo.
Su Mo also nodded his head slightly. Although he wasn’t on familiar terms with Xuan Yuanlong, there was no animosity between them.
However, Su Mo was shocked when he realized Xuan Yuanlong’s cultivation rank. He was a Sage-to-be.
This man’s speed of raising his cultivation was surprising. It was similar to his own speed.
3 years ago when Su Mo had met him, Xuan Yuanlong was still a Rank 7 Martial Honorable.
“Spirit-devouring Fighting Soul!” Su Mo’s heart fell. Xuan Yuanlong’s Fighting Soul was the Spirit-devouring Fighting Soul. Su Mo had seen it before and although this Fighting Soul was inferior to his own Devouring Fighting Soul in that it could not devour Blood Essence or Fighting Souls, it could devour Spiritual Qi.
Along this line of thought, it seemed sensible for Xuan Yuanlong to be able to raise his cultivation rank so quickly.
After all, even if Xuan Yuanlong’s Fighting Soul was not similar to his, as long as Xuan Yuanlong did not lack resources and closed himself in cultivation, he could raise his cultivation rank quickly.
On the other hand, he had been travelling around and occupying himself with various things. As such, his time had been wasted.
“This man might be a black horse!” Su Mo sighed inwardly. This man was unordinary and he was a potential opponent.
However, the Spirit-devouring Fighting Soul was ranked 93rd on the Archean Martial Soul Board and Su Mo wanted to have a taste of its powers.
Su Mo wanted to know what other special abilities Xuan Yuanlong had aside from his Fighting Soul.
“The Divine Son has joined the Nine Heavens Holy Ground!” Gu Tianyi observed Su Mo’s gaze and sighed as he shook his head, feeling a slight sense of helplessness.
“The Nine Heavens Holy Ground?” Su Mo nodded. He knew that the Nine Heavens Holy Ground was one among the 13 superpowers but he wasn’t familiar with it.
“Indeed. All the superpowers tried to attract him into their ranks, but eventually the Nine Heavens Holy Ground pulled him in!” Gu Tianyi sighed. The Imperial Ancestor Court Faction had spent a lot of time and effort to attract the Divine Son to no avail.
Granted, although the Nine Heavens Holy Ground had succeeded, they had paid a hefty price to attract the Divine Son to their ranks.
Su Mo fell silent. Xuan Yuanlong as the Divine Son of the Shenwu Academy must have obtained a lot of benefits from the 13 superpowers trying to pull him to join their faction. That might be the reason for the rapid increase of his cultivation rank.
Silently shaking his head, Su Mo did not pay too much attention to Xuan Yuanlong. He was fully confident and unafraid of any geniuses.
“Hm?” Right at that moment, Su Mo’s eyebrows raised. He felt a cold pair of eyes on him.
Lifting his head, he saw a familiar person in a long robe. This man had a handsome face. It was Taishi Yuan of the Taishi Family.
Aside from Taishi Yuan, there was also Taishi Xiang Yue glaring at him.
Su Mo’s gaze met Taishi Yuan’s eyes and needles seemed to prick the sky.
However, Taishi Yuan very quickly averted his gaze.
Su Mo laughed coldly. Back at the birthday banquet, Taishi Yuan had been heavily beaten by him and lost all sense when he had disregarded the rules and attacked him with his own cultivation rank.
Thankfully, the Second Princess had reacted in time to block his attack.
Could that man be thinking of revenge?
Su Mo grunted. If Taishi Yuan didn’t cherish his life, Su Mo wouldn’t be merciful to him.
Taishi Yuan had a dark face. He had not expected that Su Mo’s cultivation rank would rise so quickly such that he would be at the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm.
However, upon thinking of him being at the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Rank, he still felt confident of himself.
