Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Su Mo, what do you plan to do?” Ren De Supreme Being looked at Su Mo.
“Zi Xiao must not be killed at all costs. We need to know where to draw the line, if we hurt him even one bit, Ultimate Supreme Being will not let us off!” He added.
Ren De Supreme Being reckoned that Su Mo wanted to kill Zi Xiao, but that was impossible.
“I know!”
Su Mo sighed helplessly and replied, “Now that Zi Xiao has fainted, will be be able to conduct a Soul Search?”
“His Spiritual Soul has been recreated, he is now in a deep coma but he will still have an automatic resistive response. If we were to soul search, his Soul might not be able to take it!” Ren De Supreme Being warned.
“Senior, let’s wait it out. My avatar is on the way here and he will be able to search Zi Xiao’s memories!” Su Mo replied in a deep tone.
Unexpectedly, things were even harder after capturing Zi Xiao.
If not for wanting to prevent Human Palace from getting involved in the drama, he would not hesitated to conduct the Soul Search. Even if his powers were not strong enough to carry the Soul Search, he would still have given it a try.
However, since Ren De did not want them to hurt Zi Xiao too much, he did not insist on the Soul Search.
“What powers has your avatar got?” Ren De Supreme Being asked curiously.
“Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit,” Su Mo replied.
“Oh?” Ren De blinked in surprise. If he had the Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit, then the avatar indeed had the ability to access Zi Xiao’s memories.
He did not probe Su Mo on how he had managed to obtain the Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit.
He knew that Su Mo must have had more secrets, but he decided not to ask more.
The more Su Mo was a rebel, the more beneficial it would be for him.
When he was still back in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace helping Su Mo, he had already been in the same boat as Su Mo. There was no return now.
With that, Ren De Supreme Being sat cross-legged beside Zi Xiao and waited for Su Mo’s avatar to arrive.
Su Mo then walked towards Ling Chang and asked, “What plans do you have for the future?”
“The Deity Plane is vast, I should be able to blend in somewhere!” She sighed.
She still had a strong sense of belonging to Ultimate Supreme Being Palace. After this, she would still go back and try to seek forgiveness from Ultimate Supreme Being.
“You could go to the mansion in Cloud Dragon City, Sky Dragon Court!” Su Mo said.
“Mm!” She nodded and did not object. Her task at hand was to find somewhere quiet to settle down and cultivate.
Currently, her cultivation level was a mere Rank 3 and she had to recover quickly to her original Rank.
“If you require resources, you can seek help from Ren De Palace Master!” Su Mo added.
“I’m not short of resources at the moment, I have enough to cultivate for several centuries!” Ling Chang shook her head.
“That’s good!” Su Mo nodded. With that, both of them sat down cross-legged and started to softly discuss their futures.
Time passed and after a long while, all three of them, Su Mo, Ling Chang and Ren De Supreme Being, were all breathing quietly.
It was really quiet and peaceful there. As for Xuan Tian Supreme Being’s people and Superpowers from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, they were all scattered outside of the lake and none of them were able to chase down the 3 of them.
After three months, the avatar arrived and entered the lake’s bottom.
The three of them all got up one by one.
The avatar approached Su Mo and, without further ado, a green flash of light came from within his body, the Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit flew out and entered Su Mo’s body.
“Two of you, assist me by being my protectors!” Su Mo told Ren De Supreme Being and Ling Chang after he obtained the Ancient Dream Primordial Spirit.
Without speaking, the two nodded in understanding.
With that, Su Mo once again sat down cross-legged and the green flashes glowed in his body and then enclosed Zi Xiao.
His Primordial Spirit powers had developed extremely, and he manoeuvred the Spirit, trying to pull Zi Xiao closer into the dream state.
Zi Xiao’s Spiritual Soul was recreated, hence his consciousness had already fallen into a deep sleep state. For Su Mo, this was more than great.
This was because after a short while, Zi Xiao’s consciousness easily fell into the dream state with Su Mo’s manipulation.
In the dream state, Su Mo would not be able to identify any special memories, but rather guide Zi Xiao to replay all his memories of recent years.
Since Zi Xiao’s Spiritual Soul had been recreated, he was mostly unconscious and within the dream state he did not show any form of resistance.
As such, Su Mo easily viewed the flashbacks in third person, clearly witnessing everything that Zi Xiao had been through.
This included his experiences of taking Qian Xunyue away from Su Mo, threatening Ling Chang, and even where he hid Qian Xunyue.
After what seemed like ages, Su Mo finally retracted his Ancient Dream powers and got up.
“How was it?” Ling Chang was quick to ask, evidently worried that Su Mo was unsuccessful.
“I know where Qian Xunyue is!” He nodded assuringly. “She’s on a remote mountain some thousands of miles away from Ultimate Supreme Being City!” He added.
“That’s great! Let’s set off now!” Ling Chang heaved a sigh of relief.
“Su Mo, now that we’ve gotten what we wanted, we shall send this Zi Xiao back to Ultimate Supreme Being Palace!” Ren De Supreme Being said.
Su Mo stayed silent for a while. “Senior, Zi Xiao is really powerful, I think it’s a bad idea to release him just like that.”
He did not want to let Zi Xiao off just like that. He was so wicked, how could he just be easily released like that?
“We must let him go!” Ren De Supreme Being said seriously. If Su Mo wanted to kill Zi Xiao, he would definitely not agree to it.
“Okay Senior, give me a moment!” Su Mo nodded and with a quick spin of thoughts, his Devouring Primordial Spirit left his body and entered Zi Xiao’s as he attempted to devour Zi Xiao’s Primordial Spirits and Blood Force.
As soon as the Devouring Primordial Spirit entered Zi Xiao’s body, Su Mo gave his best shot and his fullest concentration to manipulating the strong Devouring powers.
Unfortunately, he was soon met with disappointment as he was unable to devour the Primordial Spirits and Blood Force.
Zi Xiao’s Primordial Spirits and Blood Force were as grounded as rock within him, unwilling to budge at all.
Primordial Spirits and Spiritual Souls were interlinked. Even though Zi Xiao was unconscious, and thus his Spiritual Spirit was too, the Primordial Spirit was still in a stable state which made it hard to be taken away from the body.
After continuosly trying for an hour, Su Mo was still unsuccessful, and he was feeling helpless.
Though Zi Xiao was really terrible, his powers were really terrifyingly strong. If not for the help of Ren De Supreme Being, Su Mo would not have stood a chance against Zi Xiao.
It was apt to say that there was a huge disparity between Zi Xiao’s and Su Mo’s abilities.
Thus, with Su Mo’s control, the Devouring Primordial Spirit left Zi Xiao’s body.
“Senior, you do as you see fit! Me and Ling Chang shall take our leave first!” Su Mo said.
Even though he was unable to devour Zi Xiao’s Primordial Spirits and Blood Force, he did not force his way till the end.
However, when his powers became stronger in future, he would definitely reattempt to devour Zi Xiao because his Primordial Spirit was able to save Qian Xunyue.
“Okay, that’s for the best!” Ren De nodded, initially worried that Su Mo would not let off Zi Xiao this easily. He was not expecting Su Mo to be this magnanimous, it was best that Su Mo just left him to be.
In view of the bigger picture, letting Zi Xiao off the hook this way was no big deal because the real damage had already been done to his recreated Spiritual Soul. Ren De had already ensured that Su Mo would give him a chance put this feud behind him because even though Zi Xiao would regain consciousness in about half a year, Zi Xiao’s recreated Spiritual Soul would still require thousands of years for recovery.
And this meant that for a good few thousands of years, Zi Xiao would be unable to improve his cultivation at all.
Thus, as long as Su Mo put in the hard work, he would be able to quickly catch up and be on par with Zi Xiao’s abilities after a mere few thousand years.
“Senior, thank you so much with regards to this matter. I can’t thank you enough for it!” Su Mo cupped his two fists and greeted Ren De Supreme Being with respect.
“Ren De Palace Master, I am also grateful for all your help!” Ling Chang did the same and thanked Ren De Palace Master.
“Haha! It’s nothing!”
Ren De Supreme Being chuckled brightly and walked towards Su Mo, lightly patting his shoulder.
“Su Mo, you have to quickly level up your cultivation skills, you’ve not much time left!”
“Understood!” Su Mo nodded solemnly.
“Mm, it’s good that you understand!” Ren De Supreme Being replied. “This incident might blow up and cause a ruckus, I suggest you find a good place to lie low for the moment, if you need any help just contact me!”
With that, Ren De waved his hand and an ancient Stone Seal appeared in his hand.
“This messaging charm is still one of my unusual treasures, it was made with my heart and soul. There exists only three of these, one with me, one with Xuan Tian, and here is the last one for you!’”
“Senior, what is the messaging distance for this charm?” Su Mo solemnly asked after receiving it.
“So long as you are still within the Deity Plane, you can send a message anytime!” Ren De replied.
“Many thanks senior!” Su Mo said, and deep down in his heart he was so elated. As long as the messaging charm worked and he could use use it in the Deity Plane, from now on, no matter where he went, he could contact Ren De Supreme Being.
Su Mo then understood, he had finally gotten Ren De’s recognition.
If not, he would not have given this Messaging Charm to the rest.
“Go!” Ren De Supreme Being smiled and with another wave of his hand, sent Zi Xiao into his Spatial device.
“Senior, goodbye!” Su Mo raised his fists and said to him with respect.
