Chapter 876: Entering the Palace

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“You want to leave?” Bai Yin’er asked in surprise. To her, this was no different from courting death.

“Of course. I can’t be staying here forever. I have to find a way to get out no matter how difficult it may be!” Su Mo nodded. He had too many things he had yet to accomplish in the outside world, so how could he continue to live here!

“The Mist Mountains are fraught with dangers. I’ve never heard of anyone achieving this feat!” Bai Yin’er warned him. Although she had been angered by his indifference earlier, she did not want him to die either.

Furthermore, Su Mo was now speaking more warmly to her and she soon forgot her resentment toward him.

“I’m confident that I’ll be able to do it. Besides, I can’t back away from doing something just because it is dangerous!” Su Mo sighed.

“I can’t back away from doing something just because it is dangerous!”

Bai Yin’er repeated those words to herself. His remark had touched her deeply.

She glanced at his calm face and sighed to herself. No wonder why this man was so extraordinary! His intellect was higher than the average person.

“Well, I wish you luck!” Bai Yin’er sighed, then shrunk back behind the curtain of her carriage.

Su Mo did not reply and continued to quietly travel alongside the carriage.

The procession moved quietly and passed by many cities before it arrived at a massive city around noontime.

This massive city was the Imperial City of Divine Martial Country—Divine Martial City.

Although it was nothing compared to the magnificent cities in the outside world, it was many times larger than Divine Martial City.

Since the procession had Divine Guards to clear a path for them, they did not need to undergo checks and smoothly entered the city.

Then, the procession followed the wide streets of the Imperial City all the way to the imperial palace.

The imperial palace was unexpectedly magnificent. Its majestic palace walls were built up to over 90 meters tall and stretched for dozens of miles. It was built like a city within a city.

The palace was heavily guarded by hundreds of Divine Guards who stood guard in front of the imperial palace.

Su Mo noticed that one of their commanders had a cultivation of Lv 9 Martial King Realm and this left him reeling in surprise. He decided that he would have to proceed with caution once he entered the palace.

Thereafter, the entire procession was subjected to checks by the Divine Guard and everyone had to be registered before entering the palace. The Divine Guards that had led the procession here then left to return to their stations.

A young Divine Guard led them into the palace and after they passed by several streets, they finally stopped in front of a palace named Crystal Jade Palace.

Crystal Jade palace resembled a small-scale mansion and was also under heavy guard. Small palaces could be seen inside this palace.

“All of you from Great Martial City will live here at Crystal Jade Palace. The concubine selection process will begin in ten days. During this time, none of you will be permitted to leave Crystal Jade Palace. If anyone is found to be breaking this law, he will be killed without exception!” said the young Divine Guard. Then, after assigning all of them to a palace, he strode out of Crystal Jade Palace.

Su Mo found himself a spacious small palace and settled down.

Bai Yin’er, himself and two other maids had been assigned to this palace.

As Bai Yin’er’s personal guard, he would have to protect her at all times. Naturally, he would be assigned to the same palace as her.

“Su Mo, feel free to make yourself at home! I’m going in to rest!” Bai Yin’er said gloomily. She found herself a room in the palace and entered it.

There were many rooms in the palace, so Su Mo soon selected a room and started to formulate a plan.

Since there were still ten days to the concubine selection process, he should make full use of those ten days.

As the imperial government of Divine Martial Country, he guessed that there would be an organization that would solely focus on crafting weapons. The Blood-striped Seed was a craftsmanship material, so it would definitely be found in such organizations.

He would first need to determine the exact location of such an organization, then find a way to search for the Blood-striped Seed.

He closed his eyes and sent his spiritual consciousness out to sweep the surroundings.

His powerful spiritual consciousness combed each individual building as he started to search for the Blood-striped Seed in earnest.

Su Mo discovered a large number of experts, dozens of them of Advanced Martial King Realm cultivation.

Since Su Mo’s spiritual consciousness was a manifestation of his Mind, it was extremely powerful and could not be detected by even these experts.

Even if they sensed that he was spying on them through his spiritual consciousness, he would immediately withdraw his spiritual consciousness. There was no way for them to track him down.

Soon, Su Mo discovered a massive palace that was bursting with the energy of fire property. The words ‘Fire Palace’ were beautifully engraved on a board that hung above the palace gate.

“This should be it!” Su Mo was elated. His spiritual consciousness rushed into this palace.

He discovered many craftsmen inside this palace, as well as a craftsmanship room.

“It really is here!” Su Mo got more excited.

As his spiritual consciousness swept past one of the rooms, an elderly man who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed inside suddenly opened his eyes.

“Who is spying on me?” he shouted.

The elderly man’s powerful mind transformed into sharp knives that attacked his spiritual consciousness.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Su Mo’s spiritual consciousness was shredded into pieces.

Uh!

Su Mo groaned and immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

“He is powerful!” Su Mo said with surprise as he opened his eyes.

The elderly man’s mindpower was much stronger than his.

“I bet he is an advanced-level craftsman!” Su Mo thought to himself.

He knew that this man was definitely not a Martial Royal Realm expert, so he could only be an advanced-level craftsman who also had a high cultivation. This was the only explanation for his strong willpower.

After all, the willpower of craftsmen tended to be much more powerful than their peer-level martial artists.

“How would I be able to enter?” Su Mo wondered with a frown.

Those Divine Guards stationed outside Crystal Jade Palace were not a problem to him since they were mostly of True Darkness Realm cultivation, which was relatively low. Even their leader was only a low-level Martial King Realm martial artist. It would be easy for him to sneak past time.

However, he would face a problem entering Fire Palace.

The aura from the elderly man earlier showed that he was much stronger than Governor Bai and he was likely a Lv 9 Martial King Realm martial artist. Su Mo would definitely not be his match.

Furthermore, once he was discovered, many people would try to hunt him down so this was an extremely dangerous operation. After all, the Divine Martial Emperor himself lived in this palace.

Su Mo was stuck and could not come up with a feasible plan.

“I wonder how long I’ll need to break through to Martial King Realm?” Su Mo muttered.

If he could break through to Martial King Realm, he would not need to proceed so cautiously and could just rob the palace of the Blood-striped Seed.

After some thought, Su Mo decided to work at increasing his own cultivation first since he was unable to come up with a better plan.

After all, the stronger he was, the better chance he stood of obtaining the Blood-striped Seed.

Su Mo soon entered the Divine Map.

He sat cross-legged in his courtyard and started to cultivate.
