Chapter 1043: Wait for the Master’s Return

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

A young man was practicing his sword in a secluded bamboo grove in the Firmament Palace.

The youth was none other than Su Mo.

And the technique he was practicing was none other than the Grand Firmament Swordplay. He was feeling the mysterious connotation of this swordplay without the Dark Force.

The Grand Firmament Swordplay had only five moves, respectively

Move One, Sky-earth Change.

Move Two, Yin-Yang Turn.

Move Three, Sun Moon Switch.

Move Four, Star Falling.

And Move Five, All Creatures in one Firmament!

These five sword moves were extremely mysterious and it seemed to contain the way of heaven and earth and the principles of the universe. After half a month of study, Su Mo began to understand and practice.

Moreover, any cultivation skill above the Royal level usually required a matching Ultimacy to release its full power.

At that moment, Su Mo only understood the immortal Ultimacy so he would infuse his immortal ultimacy into this swordplay.

Swish, swish, swish!

Su Mo wielded his sword, slowly but correctly.

Chi, Chi!

The sword moved about like a spiritual snake, cutting the space smoothly and making a rustling sound.

Su Mo slashed the sword and there seemed to be a vague illusion vanishing. Inside the illusion were either high mountains, countless stars, or everything between heaven and earth, which was quite magical.

However, these illusions were very faint, hard to notice if not observed carefully.

Moreover, the illusion would only appear for a split second and then quickly vanish.

Su Mo’s eyes were closed tightly and his body and mind were integrated into heaven and earth, carefully capturing the mysterious feelings.

After three full days of practice, Su Mo withdrew his sword and stood still, his eyes opened.

“Too difficult!”

Su Mo heaved a sigh. After half a month of study and three days of practice, he could barely reach the beginner’s level of this swordplay.

To reach the Great Completion of the Grand Firmament Swordplay, he felt it would take him at least two to three years.

This Grand Firmament Swordplay was created by Firmament Supreme Emperor, the founder of the Firmament Palace. His most famous stunt was not simple at all.

After a long moment of silence, Su Mo lifted the Emperor Sword, getting ready to practice again.

Abruptly, Su Mo frowned as he felt a sudden pain in his mind. His body couldn’t help shivering all over.

“The Natal Spiritual Sword!”

A bright beam of light shot out of Su Mo’s eyes. The pain was caused by the lost Natal Spiritual Sword. Someone was damaging his Natal Spiritual Sword.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted a few breaths before disappearing completely.

“I must retrieve my Natal Spiritual Sword as soon as possible!”

Su Mo’s frown tightened. He had two Natal Spiritual Swords missing in the wild and they seemed to be at different locations.

He must take them back quickly. The Natal Spiritual Swords were connected with his mind. Once they were damaged, he would suffer great trauma which might even endanger his life.

Su Mo pondered for a moment before striding towards the Firmament Palace hall.

...

In the Firmament Palace hall, Su Mo sat on the Emperor’s Throne, with Gold One and the other eight puppets sitting below.

“Masters, I need to leave the Firmament Palace for a while. It won’t be long.”

Su Mo scanned across the nine puppets, his voice deep and calm.

“Master, go ahead!”

“Master, we’ll take care of the palace.”

The nine puppets spoke one after another. They could tell Su Mo’s cultivation was already at the peak of Lv 9 Martial King Realm.

They were amazed by Su Mo’s fast progress. Even super talents of ancient times couldn’t grow faster.

“One more thing I need you to prepare. Once I’m back, the Firmament Palace will officially go public!” Said Su Mo clearly and firmly.

“Go public?” The nine puppets were lost for a second and then shook their head in unison.

“Master, the Firmament Palace is very weak at this moment. It’s not the right time to go public.”

Stone One addressed his concern with a sigh. “Once the Firmament Palace goes public, it will at once become the target of all other forces. We’d better wait for two more years until you reach Lv 3 or 4 Martial Royal Realm.”

Stone One and his peers were aware of Su Mo’s exceptional combat strength. After cultivating the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill, he was very powerful for sure.

However, just to be safe, they’d rather wait for two years.

After all, other forces would just sit and watch the Firmament Palace rise again. It would be bad when they became the mutual enemy of all.

Although the Firmament Palace’s Large Protective Formation was so strong that no one in the Firmament World could break in, members of the Firmament Palace couldn’t just hide inside the palace forever.

“Rest assured. I’ll break through to the Martial Royal Realm when I’m back. By that time, no one in the Firmament World can defeat me!”

Su Mo’s face showed absolute confidence. Once he reached the Martial Royal Realm, his strength would be on par with Yan Tai. With all the Imperial treasures he was in possession of, he would be invincible in this world.

“Master is very confident!” The puppets was amazed by Su Mo’s confidence.

They didn’t doubt much as Su Mo was an Archean martial practice formed by 49 Spiritual Spirals.

The puppets believed he would be at the top of the Firmament World with the cultivation of Lv 1 Martial Royal Realm.

After all, there was not a single Martial Emperor in the Firmament World.

In ancient times, talents with the cultivation of the Martial Royal Realm and could fight with opponents a dozen realms higher were not that rare.

“Okay! We’ll get hands on it. Waiting for Master’s return.”

The puppets looked at each other before nodding their agreement.

“Great!”

Su Mo slightly nodded while pondering, and then asked, “Masters, do you know much about the Netherworld Devil Sect?”

“The Netherworld Devil Sect?”

The puppets were quiet for a while before Light One replied, “Master, this Netherworld Devil Sect has been developed for thousands of years. Although we don’t know much about it, we are certain about close ties with the Trial Testers.”

“I knew it!” Su Mo heaved a sigh. Last time the 13th Elder of the Emperor Xuan Palace told him the Netherworld Devil Sect was related to the Trial Testers. It was real.

However, the relationship between them needed further investigation.

In a word, the Netherworld Devil Sect was a sworn enemy of his and the Firmament World’s. it must be removed as soon as possible.

Su Mo learned more about the situation before getting up to leave the Firmament Palace.

“By the way!”

Suddenly another matter came to Su Mo’s mind. He asked the puppets, “Masters, do we have any refining materials available in the palace?”

“Yes, but not many.”

Gold One nodded and added a question, “Master, what treasure would you like to refine?”

“Natal Spiritual Swords!” Said Su Mo.

“Master, you know how to refine Natal Spiritual Swords?” The puppets were amazed.

This young palace master never failed to surprise them.

The Firmament Palace used to have the refining method of Natal Spiritual Swords but it had long been lost. They didn’t expect Su Mo to know the method.

“Yeah! I have refined a few but I’d like to make more!” Su Mo nodded. The more Natal Spiritual Swords the better. He wanted to make another batch when he found time.

“Well. Master, I’ll give you all the refining materials we have in the palace upon your return. You can pick whatever you need,” said Stone One.

“That would be great.”

Su Mo nodded. He said his goodbye to the nine puppets and left the Firmament Palace without delay.
