Warrior's Promise

"Please rise! Take a sit!"

Su Mo waved his arm and indicated for everyone to sit down.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Everyone thanked him and rose, sitting down on the seats on both sides of the hall.

Su Mo sat at the main seat and swept his gaze over those present. He nodded approvingly to himself, their cultivation states had all improved.

"Everyone, how's the sect doing recently?" Su Mo asked. He placed great importance on the development of the Firmament Sect.

"Sect Leader, the sect does not lack any resources and is developing quickly...!"

Qing Pingzi replied, and then informed Su Mo of the recent happenings in the sect.

"Good!"

Su Mo nodded slightly when he heard Qing Pingzi's report. He was rather satisfied. Even though the Firmament Sect was still weak right now, it's development was robust.

"How many elders do we have now?" Su Mo asked again. Other than a few Hall Chiefs, there were about 40 elders in the hall right now, but it was possible that some were not present.

Currently, in the Firmament Sect, only martial artists in the Martial King Realm could become elders.

However, most of these elders were from the Divine Martial Country. There were not many of them from the outside.

"Sect Leader, we have 53 elders right now!" Yue Qun replied.

"Not bad!" Su Mo sighed. Even though the Firmament Sect was not considered strong with about 50 elders, it was still a good progress.

"Liang Tong, how is the Craftsmanship Hall?" Su Mo looked at the Hall Chief of the Craftsmanship Hall, Liang Tong.

"Sect Leader, we have 98 craftsmen. Of which, 7 are Lv 6 King Realm craftsmen and 18 are Lv 5 Craftsmen!" Liang Tong reported with a smile.

"Oh, what level are you now?" Su Mo asked.

Liang Tong answered proudly, "I am now a craftsman in the Lower King Realm!"

Liang Tong had been rather happy lately for he had managed to become a King level craftsman two weeks ago.

This was something he had never imagined. He had risen from a Lower Lv 4 craftsman to a Lower Lv 6 craftsman in a little over a year. This was completely unbelievable, and even he thought it was incredible.

Of course, this was all thanks to Su Mo. He would never be able to reach this level even if he worked his entire life if Su Mo had not taught him the incredible craftsmanship skills.

However, Liang Tong's satisfaction was broken by Su Mo's statement.

"Why are you so slow. Have you not thoroughly understood the knowledge of craftsmanship I taught you?" Su Mo asked, his brows furrowed.

It's been more than a year and he had thought that Liang Tong would become a Medium King Level craftsman.

He had not expected him to still be a Lower King craftsman!

Uh...

Liang Tong's expression stiffened when he heard that.

He had gone from a Lower Lv 4 to a Lower Lv 6 in a little more than a year. And yet, Su Mo still thought that his incredible rise in levels was slow!

Liang Tong was speechless!

Then, Liang Tong took a deep breath and said, "Sect Leader, I have almost completely understood the knowledge of craftsmanship you taught me. I just have a little left!"

Su Mo understood and did not scold him. After all, his talent was just mediocre. It was not practical to think that he would improve rapidly.

Then, Su Mo pointed at him. A faint finger radiance shot out and embedded into Liang Tong's head.

Liang Tong's entire body quaked, and then, a huge amount of information filled his mind.

Liang Tong looked ecstatic after he checked the information. Su Mo had imparted to him much knowledge about craftsmanship.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Liang Tong did not continue checking. He stood up hurriedly and bowed to Su Mo respectfully.

"Continue to work hard. Reach the Royal Realm in half a year!" Su Mo ordered.

"I won't let you down!" Liang Tong replied loudly.

The people in the hall remained silent but were all secretly shocked. So Hall Chief Liang's craftsmanship had been imparted to him by their Sect Leader.

Then, Su Mo ignored Liang Tong and sighed. He took out a few storage rings and passed them to Yue Qun and a few other Hall Chiefs.

There were plenty of resources in the storage rings including spiritual stones, scrolls and weapons.

Su Mo had killed too many people recently. He had destroyed the Cold-blood Hall and raided their storage, gaining plenty of spoils.

"Everyone, the entire sect will go into seclusion and cultivate over the next six months. We will leave the Mist Mountains after six months!" Su Mo instructed loudly.

He was prepared to take the Firmament Sect to the Firmament Palace after six months. Then, the Sect and Palace will become one.

The Firmament Palace will be ready to enter the world after half a year.

The Firmament Palace would be revived then, and they will erect the celestial continent once more.

Finally, Su Mo released the people from the Horned-demon tribe and sect who were in the Divine map in batches, getting the Hall Chiefs to settle them.

The Firmament Sect busied themselves with this. There were about a hundred thousand people in the Horned-demon tribe and the Horned-demon sect had about 70 to 80000 and there was nowhere to settle them.

However, Su Mo did not care. He handed over the matter and allowed the lower levels to deal with it.

Of course, Su Mo was generous to the Horned-demon Sect and tribe. After all, he would take them into the Firmament Palace in the future.

He also gave Cai Yun numerous resources, allowing her to expand the Horned-demon tribe and Horned-demon Sect.

After the meeting, Su Hong arranged for Su Mo to stay in a quiet courtyard.

Su Mo was immersed in thought in the room. He would soon make an exchange for Hong Qingxuan with the Netherworld Devil Sect, but Wu Shan was still with Sikong Yan. He had to meet up with Sikong Yan beforehand to take Wu Shan with him.

It was fortuitous that he could send and receive messages from Sikong Yan. This was not an issue.

After a short while, Su Mo abandoned all distractions and started to calm his heart and cultivate.

His cultivation Dark Force was nearly refined. He was prepared to push his cultivation to the Lv 7 Martial King Realm right here before leaving the Mist Mountains to make the exchange with the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Time passed slowly, and three days quickly arrived.

Three days later, Su Mo was prepared and he charged into the Lv 7 Martial King Realm.

This time, he had not devoured any Spiritual Stone. Instead, he devoured divine elixir.

He had plenty of divine elixir in his storage ring. They were all spoils of war from the East Continent.

There was about a thousand divine elixirs, of which 90 percent was the elixir of Advanced Martial King. The remaining 10 percent was the elixir of Martial Royal Realm.

With the support of the Dark Force of a thousand elixirs, Su Mo's realm surge was considered successful. He had successfully reached the Lv 7 Martial King Realm, and his strength increased greatly once more.

After breaking through the realm, he took a few days to strengthen his cultivation state. Then, he left the Great Martial City and headed for the Mist Mountains.
