Warrior's Promise

“Duan Jingtian, you are amazing!”

The minute Su Mo landed beside Qin’er, Qin’er said excitedly to him, her eyes sparkling.

Duan Jingtian would become famous in Reincarnation Holy Court after this.

“I hope that your father will be pleased with me!” Su Mo said with a smile.

“Of course! Unless he is blind!” Qin’er said bluntly without showing any respect for Elder Xuan Tian.

“Hope so!” Su Mo smiled and walked out of the Ancient City.

When Qin’er saw it, she caught up with him in a hurry and did not stay on.

Chu Yan and Luo Yu looked at each other and saw that both of them had mixed feelings.

.

Ah!

Suddenly, there was a cry and the two of them lifted their heads. They were taken aback by what they had seen.

Ji Yuesong had been defeated by the skinny youth from Heavenly Palace. He was thrown out of the platform and blood was spurting out of his mouth.

Chu Yan and Luo sighed secretly. Ji Yuesong had not only been defeated by the skinny youth, but he had lost to Duan Jingtian and Tian Chenshan.

With the injuries that he had suffered, it seemed unlikely for him to get into the top five positions.

The blessings for each ranking were different. The higher the ranking, the better the blessings.

The two of them were disappointed with Ji Yuesong’s performance and they could not help sighing.

“Not bad!”

When Su Mo saw the outcome of the fight, he was full of praise for Tu Ying. Tu Ying was still as powerful.

He had lived up to his name as an Ancient God and no ordinary genius could be compared to him in terms of his talent.

Su Mo did not pay any more attention to the fight and he walked out of the Ancient City with Qin’er. He flew up to the sky and came before Elder Xuan Tian.

“Greetings, Elder Xuan Tian!” Su Mo cupped his fist at Elder Xuan Tian.

“Duan Jingtian, you have performed well!”

Elder Xuan Tian smiled and said, “Let’s wait for a while. After the rest of them are done with the fight, we shall return to Human Palace together.”

Elder Xuan Tian did not say another word to Su Mo. After all, many people were around and it was inconvenient for them to carry out a conversation.

“Alright!”

Su Mo said and nodded. He walked to Elder Xuan Tian’s side and waited.

The elders from the Five Palaces sized Su Mo up and they had different expressions on their faces.

They were curious about Su Mo.

Elder Tian Youwei from Heavenly Palace knew about Tu Ying’s background and thus he found it unbelievable that Duan Jingtian had surpassed Tu Ying, the Ancient God.

He had made up his mind to conduct a check on Duan Jingtian’s background.

Su Mo stood beside Elder Xuan Tian and chatted with Qin’er while he watched the fights in the Ancient City.

The combat strengths of the nine geniuses were comparable to one another’s and the fights were aggressive.

However, it was apparent that Tian Chenshan had an edge over the rest of them.

Time passed quickly, and the rankings were soon in place.

In an hour, the fight ended.

Tian Chenshan came up second. Tu Ying lost out slightly to him and obtained the third position.

Ji Yuesong ranked seven, which was far from his wish.

In fact, Ji Yuesong was powerful. However, after he had been injured by Su Mo, Tian Chenshan, and Tu Ying, his combat strength had weakened.

He was unable to perform well and that had affected his ranking.

A golden light shot out from the illusory image of the Sovereign again and it covered the nine geniuses. In an instant, they disappeared out of sight of the people.

The nine of them had gone on to receive blessings from the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.

After the nine of them had disappeared, the geniuses in the Ancient City walked out.

The elders and the disciples outside the Ancient City landed at the city gate to receive them.

There were many disciples around and the area was boisterous. They were talking about the fights that had taken place earlier.

However, most of the people had their eyes on Su Mo.

The geniuses from the Six Palaces were full of admiration for him.

The people did not have to wait for long. 15 minutes later, Ji Yuesong and the other eight geniuses appeared and they came out of the Ancient City.

“Second Uncle, I’m sorry to disappoint you!” Ji Yuesong said to Elder Xuan Tian as he stood in front of him. He looked pale and downcast.

He had come with the hope of obtaining the top position but he ended up in the seventh position. He had failed badly.

Su Mo was surprised when he heard how Ji Yuesong addressed Elder Xuan Tian. He did not know that the two of them were related.

However, he was enlightened when he realized that they shared the same family name.

“Yuesong, you have performed well. It’s just that there are always people who are better!” Elder Xuan Tian responded.

“Indeed. There are always people who are better than me!” Ji Yuesong took a deep breath and looked at Su Mo.

“Let’s return to Human Palace!”

Elder Xuan Tian told the disciples and immediately shot up to the sky.

The disciples followed behind him and flew toward Human Palace.

The disciples from the other Five Palaces left as well and they did not inquire after their geniuses.

On the way back, the disciples from Human Palace congratulated Su Mo and started to chat with him.

Su Mo was not haughty. He chatted with them and the atmosphere was amicable.

However, that did not apply to Ji Yuesong, Chu Yan, and Luo Yu.

The three of them were silent throughout the journey and they looked unhappy.

Elder Xuan Tian seemed to be in a hurry and he covered all the disciples with vast vital energy. They shuttled deep into the void and traveled at a rapid speed.

They had used two weeks to travel to the Ancient City but on their return, they had only used 10 hours.

After they were back to the Human Palace, Elder Xuan Tian dismissed the disciples and brought Su Mo deep into Human Palace.

A simple and old courtyard was situated at the back of the Human Palace.

The courtyard occupied a large area and the scene was peaceful, with not a soul around.

Other than a few palaces in the courtyard, it was filled with Spiritual Herbs and Plants.

The beautiful flowers came in different colors and there was green grass and pink fruits in the courtyard.

The courtyard was an Herbal Garden. Other than the jaded stone paths, flowers and shrubs were planted all over the garden, giving the courtyard a strong fragrance.

There are so many Spiritual Herbs!

As Su Mo walked into the courtyard, he took a deep breath and felt uplifted.

The Spiritual Herbs were precious and they had a strong fragrance. However, the scent was contained within the courtyard.

“My father used to be known as the Elixir Deity. He has great attainment in refining Elixirs. These Spiritual Herbs are planted by him and every species is precious. They are almost extinct!” Elder Xuan Tian explained to Su Mo.

“Elixir Deity!” Su Mo was astonished when he heard it. Su Mo had heard that the Palace Master was known as Ren The Supreme Being, but he had never heard of him as the Elixir Deity.

“If you are able to get my father’s help, you will enjoy great benefits!” Elder Xuan Tian said.

Su Mo nodded at the statement. He knew that the Palace Master would have the ability to refine different types of Elixirs and herbs since he was the Elixir Deity.

“Back then, Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun visited my father to ask for his support. However, they failed to do so as my father has no intention to get involved in their strife!” Elder Xuan Tian said.

When Su Mo heard what Elder Xuan Tian had said, he was deep in thought. He hoped that everything would proceed smoothly and he would be able to get the Palace Master to support him.

As they were conversing, they came to a huge palace.
