Su Mo returned to his ‘Wu Residence’ after parting with Ling Chang.

“Brother Su Mo!”

He had just barely arrived at the front door when a voice sounded behind him. He turned to find Qin Zhi standing by the window of his loft.

“What’s the matter, Qin Zhi?” Su Mo smiled at him.

“Brother Wu Shan, let’s go to the Myriad Holy Mountain some time later. How about it?” he asked.

“Myriad Holy Mountain?” Su Mo paused for a while before nodding, “Sure, look for me in ten days.”

It had been a while since he stepped foot in there. The Five-Elements Source Liquid should have replenished. It was about time to devour some more.

“Alright, ten days later then!” Qin Zhi smiled.

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded and stepped into his house.

Back in his room, Su Mo did not continue devouring the Dawn Stones for his training. Instead, he began to study the attainment of the Rules.

With a flip of his palm, the azure attainment of the Ice Rule appeared.

He sank deep in thought as he examined them.

There was no proper term for such an item, but Su Mo called it the attainment of the Rules regardless. Normal martial arts could not have created it.

For instance, the Devouring Rule which he studied did not come with attainments. Other people from the Wasteland should not have them too.

He was unsure whether the people of the Cloud Ridge World could make these attainments of the Rules or not. Or perhaps they were created by his devouring?

“Did these attainments come from the person itself, or did they come to be because I devoured them?” Su Mo furrowed his brows and considered the possibilities, but did not come up with a conclusion.

Helplessly, he got up and walked out of the courtyard towards Qin Zhi’s loft. He had to verify it.

Very soon, he arrived at Qin Zhi’s loft and knocked on the front door.

“Brother Wu Shan, are we going now?” Qin Zhi opened it and was stunned to see him. They agreed to go to set off in ten days later, didn’t they?

“Qin Zhi, I have something to ask,” Su Mo smiled.

“Do come in!” Qin Zhi quickly invited Su Mo into his home.

The loft was not big. It was made up of three layers. The common room was on the base floor, where Qin Zhi showed Su Mo to his seat.

“Brother Wu Shan, whatever it is, go ahead and ask. I’ll try to answer them,” Qin Zhi said. He was very polite towards Su Mo and would not disregard him.

“Qin Zhi, what Rule power are you studying?” Su Mo asked.

“The Rule of Speed,” Qin Zhi told the truth.

“The Rule of Speed?” Su Mo sounded surprised. He had never heard of it. It seemed to be one of the rare ones.

“Yes, the Rule of Speed. I come from humble beginnings. Having experienced several life-and-death crises, in order to survive, I took to studying the Rule of Speed. I can escape faster than anyone else,” Qin Zhi explained, sounding a little awkward.

Su Mo was rendered speechless. This fellow studied a Rule in order to flee.

Of course, the Rule of Speed was not used solely to flee.

“What level has your Rule of Speed achieved?” Su Mo asked again.

“Fifth Order Great Completion,” Qin Zhi replied.

“Then did you produce any attainments of the Rules?”

“Attainments? What’s that?” Qin Zhi questioned. He had never heard of such a thing.

Su Mo raised a brow. It seemed that the people of the Cloud Ridge World did not produce attainments of the Rules too. Otherwise, Qin Zhi would have heard of it even though he did not have any.

In that case, the attainments he devoured must be created by his devouring power. One of a kind.

“Brother Wu Shan, what’s going on?” Qin Zhi asked when Su Mo sank into silence.

“Nothing,” Su Mo shook his head and said, “Qin Zhi, how does the Cloud Ridge World classify the Rule power rankings?”

He popped another curious question. The man he killed last time wielded a powerful Rule of Ice but he claimed his Rule was only at the Sixth Order.

In Su Mo’s perception, the power of that level in the Wasteland would have to be at the Eighth Order, at the very least.

So he suspected that the Rule rankings in the Wasteland and those in the Cloud Ridge World had to be vastly different.

That was normal. The martial arts between the two worlds might be similar, but their levels were completely different.

In the Wasteland, someone of the Beginning Supreme Realm could destroy thousands of stars with ease with just a wave of their hand.

But in the Cloud Ridge World, someone of the Beginning Supreme Realm might not even be able to destroy a star the size of Palmy Star.

Anyway, the two World totally did not belong on the same level.

“You don’t know?” Qin Zhi fell speechless. This was common sense! Was he not from the Cloud Ridge World?

“I really don’t,” Su Mo shook his head.

“Fine, the rankings of the Rule powers are measured by the strengths of one’s own Rules,” Qin Zhi began and, with a flip of his palm, conjured a piece of crystal stone.

The crystal stone was like a cone, about one foot in length and three inches in diameter. It was divided into nine sections, each a different color, alike a small tower with nine floors.

“See, by applying your Rule power, this crystal stone can assess the level of the Rules,” Qin Zhi passed the nine-colored crystal stone to Su Mo.

He had used the crystal stone before when he first started to study the Rules. It was of no use to him now.

He could judge his own Rule levels and had no more need for testing.

“I see!” Su Mo accepted the nine-colored crystal stone and kept it well. He did not begin the assessment of his Rules immediately.

“Brother Wu Shan, you can ask me anything else you don’t know,” Qin Zhi grinned, but in his mind he lamented. How had Wu Shan trained to this level when he barely knew anything?

“That’s all, I understand the rest!” Su Mo shook his head and left, but not before they talked for a little while more and confirmed their trip to Myriad Holy Mountain ten days later.

Back in his room, Su Mo sat cross-legged on the floor and took out the nine-colored crystal stone. He triggered his Devouring Rule and fused with it.

Instantly, the fifth layer of nine-colored crystal stone bursts with bright light and kept getting brighter.

A while later Su Mo kept the stone with a heavy look on his face.

Fifth Order Great Completion!

According to the nine-colored crystal stone assessment, his Devouring Rule had achieved Fifth Order Great Completion!

Just as he thought!

In this Cloud Ridge World, the ranking of the Rules was far lower than what he knew in the Wasteland. Back there, his Devouring Rule had at least attained the Seventh Order.

Hum~

With a flip of his palm, the azure attainment of the Ice Rule appeared again.

“How can I make it into my own Rule?” Su Mo murmured. He might have gotten the attainment, and he could apply the Ice Rule, but the foreign object was simply not something he was skilled at.

Fuse with the Spiritual Soul?

Su Mo paused. Rules were about the mind, or at least the psyche.

And whichever it was, they both came from the Spiritual Soul, so the attainment should be able to fuse with it.

“Give it a try!”

Su Mo inhaled deeply. Even if he lost, it was no big deal. The attainment mihgt be wasted, but he could always devour others.

A moment later, purple light sparkled from his palm as a mighty ray light diffused from it.

Su Mo’s Spiritual Soul had long fused with the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit, so this was the strength of them both.

Soon, the attainment of the Ice Rule dissipated in the Vastness Purple Qi and out of sight.

At the same time, a large amount of previously unknown information poured into Su Mo’s mind like the Yangtze River.

This hoard of information belonged to Shi Heng’s Ice Rule. which contained the man’s many years of studies and various accomplishments pertaining to it.

Su Mo settled down like an old monk. With his eyes closed, he dwelt deep into the ocean of knowledge of the Rules. The amount of information that Shi Heng had studied for many years was magnanimous.

About twenty hours later, Su Mo opened his eyes. Bright blue light flashed in the eyes, akin to the the Great Glacier or the raging cold air.

“That’s it!” Su Mo smirked. his mouth. The attainment of the Ice Rule might be gone, but all the knowledge within it had been absorbed by him, making them his own.

In other words, he had become a true martial artist wielding the Sixth Order of the Ice Rule.

Shi Heng’s Ice Rule was at the early stages, so that was the same for Su Mo.

“This is great!” Su Mo’s eyes shone with energy. From now on, he would not have to study the Rules anymore. All he had to do was fuse with the attainments.

“Vastness Purple Qi is not as simple as I thought!” Su Mo murmured. He could never fully figure out the mysteries of the Vastness Purple Qi.

When he thought of that, he was also reminded of his other Primordial Spirits, like the Devouring one and the Great Rotating Sacred Sword.

Theoretically, Vastness Purple Qi was the be all and end all of all matter. The whole world was born from the Vastness Purple Qi.

Then, both the Great Rotating Sacred Sword and the Devouring Primordial Spirits should be just a small part of the Vastness Purple Qi.

No matter how great the Devouring Primordial Spirit was, it should only but an ability that was evolved from the Vastness Purple Qi.

However, the Vastness Purple Qi itself did not have this ability. A third party was required to trigger it.

For instance, Su Mo’s Devouring Rule could allow the Vastness Purple Qi to activate devouring power. Whereas other people might not be able to do so even if they had the Vastness Purple Qi. They also needed to have the Devouring Rule

“Try again!”

As he thought so, Su Mo concentrated and allowed the Vastness Purple Qi that had fused with his flesh and blood to entered his sea of consciousness and dwell into the Devouring Maelstrom.

There, it was quickly shrouded by the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit.

At that moment, the Vastness power erupted into a bright purple light, rendering the entire Devouring Maelstrom into a sea of purple.

Not bad!

Su Mo wanted to see if the Vastness Purple Qi could be combined with the Great Rotating Sacred Sword. After all, he had no other Primordial Spirits with him right now. If his training had not improved, his skills would have badly deteriorated.

The powerful Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit also illuminated by a bright purple light.

But it did not fuse with the Vastness Purple Qi.

“Devour!”

Su Mo initiated the Devouring Rule, then the Vastness Purple Qi suddenly burst into a powerful devouring power. Something amazing happened.

The motionless Great Rotating Sacred Sword immediately melted away, turned into bits of light, and merged with the Vastness.

A moment later, the power of the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit exited the Devouring Maelstrom and returned to Su Mo’s body.

His eyes stayed shut as he quietly felt around for his Primordial Spirit. He could not detect it.

Then, he tried triggering the power of the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit. Instantly, a strong sword power broke out of his body. A purple sword shadow shrouded him.

“This...!”

Su Mo’s eyes widened at the excitement. Sure enough, all his presumptions had been correct.

He could initiate his Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit again. The enhanced version, in fact.

The Vastness Purple Qi had transformed into a super strong Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit.

He finally understood everything!

The Vastness Purple Qi was like a man with great powers but only brute force.

The other Primordial Spirits are like weapons. With their aid, the man could become more powerful.

Presumably, more Primordial Spirits could be translated into more weapons, allowing the man to become more proficient in the martial arts.
