Chapter 2247: Travelling Companions
Su Mo sighed as he went within the Seventh Divine Hall.
What Xia Qianyuan, the palace master of the Great Gulf Palace, had said to him was spot on. His prowess was in decline.
He was overly dependent on the Primordial Spirit and Blood Force. In the short term, there would not be too big of an issue.
However, for his cultivation to attain a G.o.d’s status, he would need more enlightenment in the Ultimacy.
Moreover, having been in the Spatiotemporal Divine Hall and seeing for himself the Spatiotemporal Ultimacy, Su Mo had had a eureka moment.
The true masters were those who could master the rules, regardless of the strength of the Blood Force or the Primordial Spirit.
It was for sure that the Sovereign s.h.i.+ Kong was invincible for his mastery to control the rules of time.
A truly formidable warrior, without his own path to confront the terrors in the rules of time, he would find it challenging to handle despite having the most powerful Blood Force and the strongest Primordial Spirit.
Su Mo sighed again. It looked like he had to focus on his mastery of Ultimacy and Rules.
It was obvious that advancement in his cultivation would not necessarily mean that he would attain the same level of mastery of the rules and ultimacy.
Within a short moment, Su Mo rested his thoughts and focused on his mind power. He mediated to communicate with the Devouring Primordial Spirit and make sense of the devouring power, as well as attain enlightenment of the ultimacy.
He had not been taking time to seek enlightenment of ultimacy. Now that he had elevated his cultivation levels and strengthened his Spiritual Soul, the mighty force of his Devouring Primordial Spirit expanded exponentially, which a.s.sisted him in his ability to seek enlightenment.
Time pa.s.sed by quickly. Two months flew past.
Within the palace, Luo Yu was the first to take control of the rules of time, followed by Qin’er and Chu Yan.
“Sister Luo Yu and Brother Chu Yan, are we proceeding to the Eighth Divine Hall?” Qin’er flashed her bright eyes and asked with antic.i.p.ation.
“Qin’er, we have reached our maximum limit within the Seventh Divine Hall. If we proceed to the Eight Divine Hall will increase our danger!” Luo Yu shook her head. Time was running out and if they were stuck at the Eighth Divine Hall, they would perish.
“That’s right. We shall end our practice here! We can only enter the Spatiotemporal City once every three years.” Chu Yan added.
“We have been away from home for several years and have been to many places. It’s time to return to the palace!” Luo Yu reminded them. If they continued to travel, the palace would send people to search for them to return.
The identify of Qin’er was unique and hence it would be inappropriate to remain outside for too long.
If there was any mishap, she and Chu Yan would be in deep trouble.
“It’s no fun!” When Qin’er heard that, she was upset and pouted.
She had a hard time getting out of the palace. She was reluctant to return without experiencing more fun and excitement.
“Sister Luo Yu and Brother Chu Yan, I heard that there are many gifted geniuses in the Eternal Palace. Shall we go look for them to learn from them?” Qin’er asked.
“Qin’er, we have to return!” Luo Yu remarked sternly.
“Alright!” Qin’er relented and sighed. Although she had an extraordinary ident.i.ty, she had to listen to Luo Yu and Chu Yan.
Before she left home, her father had instructed her to obey Luo Yu and Chu Yan at all times.
Her disobedience would be punished upon her return.
“Qin’er, your cultivation has reached Rank 1 Middle True G.o.d. You have talented gifts and you must attain the ultimate level as soon as possible!” Chu Yan told her with a smile.
“Yes I know!”
Qin’er sighed and immediately she caught sight of Su Mo standing in proximity.
“Oh, this man has yet to master control of the rules of time of this place?” Qin’er asked.
“Qin’er, this man will be unable to master the rules of time within the Seventh Divine Hall. He shall perish there without a doubt!” Chu Yan peeped at Su Mo and made a careless remark.
“Do we need to save him?” Qin’er was worried and she frowned.
“Save him?” Chu Yan shook his head when he heard that. “We are unable to help him. Within the Spatiotemporal City, everyone has to rely on himself!”
“Qin’er, there is no need to worry about him. He is insignificant!” Luo Yu emphasised with caution.
“Alright!”
Qin’er nodded and within seconds, she closed her eyes and focused on her development of skills.
…
During his practice, Su Mo opened his eyes slightly to take a peep at the trio.
He had overheard their conversations. He found Qin’er to be warm-hearted and helpful.
The other two were aloof and cold.
Of course, that did not mean that they were evil. They were behaving like normal human beings.
What Su Mo thought was surprising was that he found the trio to be from the Human Palace.
The Human Palace, was it one of the Six Great Palaces?
Previously, the trio had mentioned the Heavenly Palace. As such, the Human Palace would obviously be one of the Six Great Palaces.
Su Mo thought for a short while and he decided to focus on seeking enlightenment of ultimacy.
Time flew past quickly. He had made huge progress in mastering Devouring Ultimacy. Within a span of two years, he had already attained Rank 7 Great Completion Stage.
In a span of slightly more than three years, he had attained Rank 8 Great Completion Stage.
“It’s almost time, let’s go!”
“Be quick, we can’t afford to miss the deadline!”
“Let’s get out early!”
At that time, many people rose to get ready to leave the Seventh Divine Hall.
These folks stayed behind to take advantage of the time flow to develop their skills.
Once the nine days were up, everyone would have to leave the Spatiotemporal City, otherwise all would be dead.
“Qin’er, Luo Yu. Let’s go!” Chu Yan rose and urged the two ladies.
The two of them concluded their practice. Almost immediately, the trio left the Divine Hall.
Before she left, Qin’er glanced at Su Mo and sighed gently.
This man could not have made it!
Very quickly, the folks had departed and only a handful remained in the hall.
Those who remained were nervous or gloomy. Obviously they were unable to gain control of the rules of time.
Su Mo opened his eyes and rose. He walked towards the door.
He had stayed there for nine days and advanced his prowess from Rank 3 to Rank 4. His Devouring Ultimacy had already attained Rank 8 Great Completion Stage. He had achieved his goals.
He would return to the Reincarnation Holy Court.
He decided not to return to the Spatiotemporal Divine Hall within the next few years.
Because he heard that with each opening of the gates, the rules would change and everything would be reset.
And there was a restriction that everyone could only enter once every three years.
However, Su Mo had decided that he would come again one more time in the future.
There were a lot of opportunities and transformations of destiny within the Spatiotemporal Divine Hall.
Very quickly, Su Mo emerged from the First Divine Hall and arrived at the exit of the Time Gate.
“Yee! You’ve made it!” Qin’er looked at Su Mo in utter surprise.
Both Chu Yan and Luo Yu were a little shocked. This young man Duan Jingtian, was not a simple guy.
It looked like he had taken control of the rules of time within the Seventh Divine Hall at the eleventh hour.
“Thank you for your concern!” Su Mo bowed with courtesy.
“Who cares about you? I am merely surprised!” Qin’er retorted.
“Young lady, are you all planning to return to the Reincarnation Holy Court?” Su Mo asked Qin’er with a gentle smile.
Previously he had overheard their conversation and he knew their travel plans.
“Yes, we are. Are you going that way too?” Qin’er nodded.
“Thats right. How about we travel together?” Su Mo asked politely.
He had prepared to followed the trio so that he could be led into the Human Palace.
Of course, the exact plans would crystallise once they had reached the Reincarnation Holy Court.
“Of course! I don’t’ mind!” Qin’er laughed.
At this point, Chu Yan and Luo Yu both exchanged glances with each other and pulled down their faces.
At the same time, the Time Gate reopened and all the people flocked outside.
Su Mo, Qin’er and her teammates followed suit and flew out.
