After everybody had left, Su Mo returned to the secret chamber.
The secret chamber was filled with Ling Chang’s aura, and she had advanced to Rank 9 Middle True God Realm.
Su Mo sat down cross-legged and pondered. He had reached Rank 1 Great Completion Realm of the Life and Death Rule and his cultivation level would soon be at Rank 9 Advanced True God Realm.
With the Golden Phoenix Green Elixir, it would make it much easier for him to prepare for the breakthrough. Su Mo reckoned that he would be able to reach Rank 9 Advanced True God Realm within two months.
After pondering for a while, he tumed his palm over and took out a plant.
‘The plant was an ordinary plant that he had taken out from the Spacial Device.
Without hesitating, Su Mo activated the Life and Death Rule and the power of life and death engulfed the plant.
The plant withered, but soon it started to emit vibrant energy. The same process went on for a few cycles.
The plant had withered due to the power of Death and the vibrant energy came about due to the power of Life.
It’s too weak! Su Mo sighed. His Life and Death Rule was only at Rank 1 Great Completion Realm and it did not have the ability to save a person as its power was too weak.
After Su Mo had reached Rank 9 Advanced True God Realm, he would focus on the Life and Death Rule.
As for the rest of the Dosu Fruits, he would consume them in the future when there was a need for him to comprehend the other Rules.
Su Mo suddenly thought of the Dosu Tree and he immersed his thoughts into the Devouring Primordial Spirit. A green root that was about 10 meters long was floating in the Devouring Maelstrom.
The green root was full of vitality like the Dosu Tree.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Mo knew that the root was the stem that the girl had mentioned and it contained the Spiritual Soul of the Dosu Tree. The Dosu Tree that he would be handing over would be an empty shell.
Even so, the new Dosu Tree could continue to bear Dosu Fruits and there would not be any significant difference.
“Is everything fine with you?” Su Mo asked.
However, the green root did not respond, nor did it change its form.
“This is strange!”
$u Mo looked at the green root and pondered. He took it and planted it under the ground of one of the Spacial Devices.
After he had done so, he consumed a Golden Phoenix Green Elixir and started to work on his cultivation.
‘While Su Mo was working on his cultivation, the branches in the surrounding area heard about his doings in Dosu Star. News traveled to the other branches and soon, the rest of the branches heard about the news.
Su Mo’s strength had taken the branches by surprise
The rumors became more exaggerated and ultimately, the people were spreading rumors around that Wu Shan was a Rank 9 Middle True God and he was invincible against those who were below the Supreme Being Realm. Not only was he invincible but he was labeled as the Top Martial Artist amongst
those who were below the Supreme Being Realm in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
‘When the gifted geniuses from the various branches heard about it, they were unhappy. They immediately headed over to Palmy Star as they intended to boost their reputations by defeating Wu Shan.
News about Wu Shan had not only traveled to Ancient Star Cloud Alliance, it had traveled to the Headquarters as well.
Ata Silver Palace in the Headquarters, Zi Xiao and Di Yihun were sitting cross-legged opposite each other in a cultivation room.
“Wu Shan has cultivated the Chaotic Power Source and he possesses devouring power. He has high attainment in the Sword Art as well. He and Su Mo are similar in all aspects!” Zi Xiao said.
A few days ago, Zi Xiao had left the Headquarters to a neighboring branch to make a purchase for Young Master Liu Yun. Along the way, he had heard the news of Wu Shan.
The traits that Wu Shan possessed were similar to that of Su Mo and that had aroused his suspicion.
“That’s too much of a coincidence. He must be Su Mo!” Di Yihun said with a grave look after he had pondered for a while.
“However, how did Su Mo make it to the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance? This is strange!” Zi Xiao said with a frown. Logically speaking, it would have been impossible for Su Mo to appear in Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
“He may have followed Young Master Liu Yun, Demon Elder and the two masters over. Do you recall Young Master Liu Yun telling us that he suspected someone following behind when he returned to Cloud Ridge World?” Di Yihun commented.
“You are right!” Zi Xiao said. However, it seemed impossible that Su Mo had followed behind the masters.
After all, the Supreme Being could have a problem catching up with the masters and Su Mo was not even a Supreme Being. It was impossible for him to catch up with the masters. However, how did Su Mo make his way to Cloud Ridge World? He had not gotten lost in the Universal Sea. Could he have come
along with the Chaotic Lord?
“We will have to look into this!” Di Yihun said. Although Wu Shan possessed similar traits to Su Mo, Di Yihun and Zi Xiao were not certain that he was Su Mo. They had to make an investigation.
“Yes!”
Zi Xiao nodded and said, “Based on what I have heard, Wu Shan is a Rank 9 Middle True God and he is one of the Chief Elders’ disciple in Palmy Branch, going by the name of Reverend Jin Wu. Wu Shan should be in Palmy Star at the moment.”
“Let’s go over to Palmy Star!” Di Yihun nodded and said.
“alright!”
Zi Xiao agreed but he immediately commented, “However, without Young Master Liu Yun’s permission, we are not allowed to leave the Headquarters.”
Zi Xiao and Di Yihun were Young Master Liu Yun’s servants and they were not disciples of the Headquarters. Thus, they did not have the freedom to leave the Headquarters.
“although Young Master Liu Yun is proud and petty, he will let us leave the Headquarters for a short period of time if we can come up with an excuse.”
“Alright. Let’s wait for his return!” Zi Xiao said in agreement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘The two of them started to cultivate as they waited for Young Master Liu Yun to return.
Four days later, Young Master Liu Yun returned to the palace and Di Yihun and Zi Xiao immediately found an excuse to leave the Headquarters for a period of time.
However, Young Master Liu Yun acceded only to part of their request.
Part of the request?
He only allowed one of them to leave the Headquarters.
“Di Yihun, you have to focus on your cultivation to enhance your strength so that you can participate in the Headquarters Selection. Let Zi Xiao go instead!” Young Master Liu Yun said.
Between the two of them, Young Master Liu Yun valued Di Yihun more than Zi Xiao. Thus, he wanted Di Yihun to succeed in the Headquarters Selection.
Although Di Yihun had great talent, it would not have been easy for him to stand out in the Selection.
There would be around 10 million people participating in the Headquarters Selection. To make it to the top 30, one had to depend on their luck rather than their strength.
“This… alright!” Di Yihun nodded. He knew that he had to adhere to Young Master Liu Yun’s decision. It would have been useless for him to argue with Young Master Liu Yun and irritate him.
He could only bear with it for the time being as he was dependent on Young Master Liu Yun at that moment.
“Zi Xiao, you are allowed to go but you have to be back in one month!” Young Master Liu Yun told Zi Xiao.
“Yes, Young Master!” Zi Xiao nodded. He felt unhappy deep within as he knew that Young Master Liu Yun preferred Di Yihun over him.
‘The two of them were in the Suspended Holy Mountain for a long period of time, but he was the one running the errands.
Young Master Liu Yun wanted Di Yihun to focus on his cultivation so that he could prepare for the Headquarters Selection. However, Di Yihun had already reached the Advanced Supreme Being Realm but not Zi Xiao. Zi Xiao had only reached Middle-rank Supreme Being Realm.
‘After Young Master Liu Yun had passed down some instructions to Zi Xiao, he left the palace.
Di Yihun and Zi Xiao went into a discussion before Zi Xiao left Suspended Holy Mountain. Zi Xiao flew into the starry sky and headed toward Palmy Branch in Palmy Star..
