Chapter 2239: The Favored Ones

Everyone fixed his gaze on Su Mo as he walked to the tower.

“Come to the top floor!”

The gate of the tower opened, and the Palace Master’s voice resounded at Su Mo’s ears.

Su Mo was silent. He entered the tower and took the steps toward the top floor.

After a while, Su Mo came to the 13th floor, which was the top floor.

“Palace Master, I am here!”

Su Mo cupped his fist and said softly as he stood in front of a stone panel.

“Come in!”

The Palace Master said, and the stone panel moved to the side.

A simple room appeared in front of Su Mo. The Palace Master, who had a stern look, was sitting at a White Jade table in his brocade robe.

“Palace Master!” Su Mo came before the Palace Master, looking solemn. However, he was not afraid that the Palace Master would harm him as there was no reason for him to do so.

“Take a seat!” The Palace Master lifted his hand and signaled Su Mo to sit opposite him.

“Thank you, Palace Master!” Su Mo nodded. He then sat at the Jade table.

After pondering for a while, the Palace Master said, “Shangguan Hao, if I am right, you have not only cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice but you also possess the Unbeatable Power and the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirits!”

“Yes!” Su Mo nodded. He admitted it as he did not want to hide it from the Palace Master.

“Good, With your talent, you are considered powerful in the Deity Plane!” The Palace Master nodded and said. He could vividly sense the vast fighting spirit in Su Mo.

He was uncertain about the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit at first as there were many types of Primordial Spirits.

As Su Mo’s sword power was too mighty, the Palace Master reckoned that Su Mo must have possessed the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit.

Other than the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit, he could not think of any other Sword Primordial Spirit that could provide Su Mo with such great sword might.

“Palace Master, may I know why you have sent for me?” Su Mo went straight to the point as he wanted to leave Great Gulf Palace as soon as possible.

“Since you have cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice, why did you not go to the Chaotic Holy Court?” The Palace Master asked.

“I am not related to the Chaos God Emperor. I may go there in the future!” Su Mo replied. He had wanted to go to the Chaotic Holy Court but he dared not do so.

Di Yihun knew that he had cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice and he might have already set up a trap for him there. Su Mo would be digging his own grave if he had gone to the Chaotic Holy Court.

“I see!” The Palace Master nodded and he was not surprised by Su Mo’s reply. The Lower Plane and the Deity Plane were separated. A martial artist from the Lower Plane had obtained the opportunity to cultivate the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice and he did not have to go to the Chaotic Holy Court.

In fact, many martial artists in the Deity Plane had cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice.

That applied to the various Holy Courts and it was not restricted to the Chaotic Holy Court.

After so many thousands of years, the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice had been passed down and modified, with many branches around.

Many of the older Empty Gods had imitated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice and come up with their own Chaotic Martial Arts.

Currently, there were more than 1,000 cultivation methods for the Chaotic Energy in the Deity Plane.

However, the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill was the most orthodox method and only a handful of people had cultivated it. Only the descendants of the Chaos God Emperor had been imparted the skill.

As for Shangguan Hao, the Palace Master had no idea if he had cultivated the orthodox skill, a modified version, or some other similar martial arts.

The atmosphere turned awkward as Su Mo waited patiently for the Palace Master to speak. However, the Palace Master did not say a word.

After the Palace Master had sized Su Mo up, he asked, “Shangguan Hao, when you were fighting Lian Ting, I sensed a strange Primordial Spirit in you. Do you have three Primordial Spirits?”

Su Mo was shocked when he heard the Palace Master’s question. The Palace Master had discovered his Devouring Primordial Spirit.

His Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit was concealed in the Devouring Primordial Spirit and thus it was unlikely for it to be found out. The Palace Master must have discovered the Devouring Primordial Spirit.

When he had fought earlier, he had only activated the Unbeatable Power Primordial Spirit. He had triggered his Devouring Primordial Spirit merely to get the Unbeatable Power Primordial Spirit out of the Devouring Maelstrom.

That had been done swiftly, but it had been discovered by the Palace Master.

Su Mo looked impassive. He was at a loss whether to admit or to deny. If he admits, will the Palace Master question him further?

“Yes!” Finally, Su Mo nodded and admitted that he had another Primordial Spirit.

He felt that it was better for him to admit it than try hard to deny it.

“Oh? What Primordial Spirit is that?” Light flashed across the Palace Master’s eyes and he asked in amazement.

Shangguan Hao has amazing talents!

He possesses the Chaotic Orthodox Practice and the Triplet Primordial Spirits. Moreover, two of the Primordial Spirits are the Great Rotating Sacred Sword and the Unbeatable Power!

It is rare to find someone with such great talent. He is indeed a Peerless Genius!

However, the Palace Master found it strange as Shangguan Hao’s combat strength came from his Chaotic Energy, Fighting Souls, and Blood Force.

He was unable to find any Ultimacy or Ultimacy Martial Arts in Shangguan Hao’s body.

It might be possible that Shangguan Hao had not activated it.

“It’s the Heaven Devouring Saint Soul Primordial Spirit!” Su Mo replied. He would not tell the Palace Master about his Devouring Primordial Spirit.

“Heaven Devouring Saint Soul!” The Palace Master was shocked when he heard Su Mo’s reply. It is another powerful Martial Soul that is ranked number 20 on the Archean Martial Soul Board!

The Palace Master was astounded. He knew that Su Mo was not lying to him. Su Mo had tried to conceal his talents and he would not deliberately brag about his talents.

The Palace Master found it too amazing.

There were many geniuses with Triplet Primordial Spirits in the Deity Plane.

However, it was amazing to find someone who possessed three Primordial Spirits that were listed in the top 20 on the Archean Martial Soul Board.

Although the Palace Master had a high cultivation level, he could not suppress his astonishment. He felt overwhelmed by it.

After the Palace Master had suppressed his emotions, he asked, “Shangguan Hao, since you have such an amazing talent, what would you think if I brought you to the headquarters and recommend you to the Ancient Kingdom Supreme Being Mansion?”

“The Ancient Kingdom Supreme Being Mansion?” Su Mo was surprised when he heard what the Palace Master had said. He then sighed within himself. No matter what kind of place that is, he has to leave.

“Palace Master, let’s talk about it in the future. I would like to go out to toughen myself for a few years and enjoy the beauty of the Deity Plane!” Su Mo replied.

“Go out to toughen yourself?” When the Palace Master heard Su Mo’s reply, he was silent. It was nothing unusual for a martial artist to go around to toughen himself.

However, he knew that Su Mo might not return if he went out.

Su Mo had a great talent and all the Holy Courts would want to recruit him wherever he went.

“Where do you intend to go?” The Palace Master asked.

“I have not decided yet. I shall decide as I move along. I will be back in a few years!” Su Mo replied.

“Alright. I shall not stop you. It’s good that you are going to search for your opportunity!”

The Palace Master nodded and said, “I will keep Tianjiu Palace for you, and I hope that you will be back soon!”

“Thank you, Palace Master!” Su Mo got up hastily. He cupped his fist and bowed at the Palace Master, and said grimly, “I will always remain a disciple of the Great Gulf Palace!”

Although Su Mo was not emotionally attached to the Great Gulf Palace, the Palace Master had helped him.

Without Tianjiu Palace, his cultivation level would not have been enhanced rapidly.

“Great! It’s good that you have such a thought!”

The Palace Master nodded and said with a smile, “I, Xia Qianyuan, am looking forward to the day of your return.”

“I will be back!” Su Mo said grimly.

“You are not familiar with the Deity Plane. Shall I recommend a few places to you?” The Palace Master, Xia Qianyuan, asked with a smile.

“That would be great, Palace Master!” Su Mo replied.

“The Chaotic Sacred Mountain at the Chaotic Holy Court, the Spatiotemporal Region at the Sky Pool Holy Court, and the Ultimate Sword Domain.” Xia Qianyuan said.

“What is so special about these few places?” Su Mo asked as he was curious. Since Xia Qianyuan had recommended the three places to him, they must be unique.

“The Chaotic Sacred Mountain will be beneficial to you since you have cultivated the Chaotic Energy. As for the Spatiotemporal Region and the Ultimate Sword Domain, they can help you have rapid progress in the Rules of the Path and Way of the Sword!” Xia Qianyuan replied.

“I see!” Su Mo nodded. He then pondered for a while as he was thinking about whether he should ask Xia Qianyuan about Ling Chang.

However, he gave up on the thought. He couldn’t let anyone know where he was heading to.

After he left Great Gulf Palace, he intended to go and look for Ling Chang.

“Palace Master, in that case, I shall leave now!” Su Mo said respectfully as he cupped his fist at the Palace Master.

“Go!” Xia Qianyuan waved his hand and did not say another word.

“Goodbye!” Su Mo bowed again and left the room.

When Xia Qianyuan saw that Shangguan Hao had left, he sighed. He thought highly of Shangguan Hao.

However, Shangguan Hao was a gifted genius and he had cultivated the Chaos God Emperor’s Orthodox Practice. It was just a matter of time until he joined the Chaotic Holy Court.

Thus, Xia Qianyuan did not ask Shangguan Hao to stay on as he felt that his efforts would be futile.

“This guy is as powerful as the Favored Ones!”

Xia Qianyuan muttered to himself. Those martial artists who became deities at 100 years old were geniuses.

Among those geniuses, there was a handful of them who were known as the Favored Ones. These people were the champions in the Deity Plane and they were prominent in the nine Holy Courts.

Shangguan Hao was as good as the Favored Ones. The only thing that he lost out to them was that he did not grow up in the Deity Plane.
