Warrior's Promise

Everyone stared at Su Mo speechlessly.

"Is he yelling because he's struggling?" everyone wondered.

After a while, the Seventh Elder said, "Alright, let's not waste any time. We're passing out waist badges to you right now and you should be ready to go!"

Then, a large amount of silver waist badges appeared in front of the Seventh Elder, floating in the air.

The Seventh Elder waved his hand, and all the waist badges miraculously shot towards the Inner Disciples one after another.

Su Mo reached out and grabbed his waist badge.

The Seventh Elder suddenly made a chirping noise, and three giant birds appeared instantly amidst a violent gale.

They were three Griffins of Lv 3 Demonic Beast that were equivalent to martial artists of the True Spirit Realm. They had the bodies and claws of lions, as well as the heads and wings of eagles, making them very intimidating.

Their wingspan was over 100 meters long, and they landed in the Inner Square with a gust of wind.

"Everyone get on the Griffins!"

The Seventh Elder shouted and flew onto a Griffin's back. The other disciples followed suit.

"Let's go!"

Su Mo shouted to Ling Muchen and stepped onto a Griffin's back.

Ling Muchen's face was quite pale. He was scared by the thousands of glares directed towards him that were full of killing desire while he was standing near Su Mo.

He felt like that he had died already at that moment. After a while, he finally took a deep breath and mounted a Griffin.

Whoosh!

When everyone had mounted, the Griffins shot into the air.

The Griffin deserved to be the Lv 3 Demonic Beast; they were as fast as lightning and soared through the skies swiftly.

Strong winds beat on the riders, even forcing some people to use Body-protection Genuine Qi to create an air shield that shielded them from the wind.

Su Mo stood on the Demonic Beasts, gazing down at the distant rivers and mountains and feeling incredibly grateful.

In his past life, he had never had the chance to gaze down on the earth from so high above.

He didn't even feel like this when he rode upon a plane.

"True Spirit Realm!"

"Once I reach the True Spirit Realm, I'll be able to fly!"

Su Mo clenched his fists. He was so close to reaching the True Spirit Realm!

After he reached True Spirit Realm and dealt with his matters in Skymoon Country, Su Mo would leave the country to set out for the Central Continent.

Crossing from the Spiritual Martial Realm to the True Spirit Realm was a huge feat. Martial artists in the True Spirit Realm were close to becoming super-human.

It was rumored that the True Spirit Realm martial artists gained longevity usually, and it was easy for them to reach 150 years of age.

Qi Cultivation Realm was only the beginning of martial arts, so martial artists in Qi Cultivation Realm were also called Martial Disciples.

Martial artists of the Spiritual Martial Realm were already pretty strong and had achieved a little accomplishment in martial arts, so they were called Martial Masters.

Martial artists in the True Spirit Realm were already proficient in martial arts, so they were called Martial Spirits.

Anyone who entered the True Spirit Realm and became a Martial Spirit, was already a top expert in Skymoon Country.

...

Qinghua Rift was in a mountain range in the Southwest of Skymoon Country.

In the mountain ranges was a giant valley surrounded cliff walls that were hundreds of meters high, leaving no way out.

After half a day, Su Mo and his group arrived above the valley.

"Qinghua Rift is right here. Let's go down!" the Seventh Elder said, ordering the Griffins to land in the valley.

Everyone dismounted, the Griffins shot into the air once again and flew out of the valley.

Su Mo scanned the valley. There were a lot more people besides his group.

They all wore long purple robes with "Yuan" embroidered on their chest pockets.

They were the Tian Yuan Sect disciples!

There were at least 1,400 Tian Yuan disciples, which was much more than that of Gale Island.

"Ha ha! Nice to see you, gentlemen from Gale Island!"

Three Sky Yuan Sect elders stood before the disciples, and their leader greeted the Seventh Elder when they saw the Gale Island group.

"It's the Sixth Elder of the Sky Yuan Sect!"

The Seventh Elder held his fists in greeting, glanced at the Sky Yuan Sect disciples, and said, "You brought quite an impressive group of Inner Disciples this time!"

The Seventh Elder was so powerful that he could tell the cultivations of the Sky Yuan Disciples with one glance.

Out of the more than 1,400 disciples, there were at least 200 experts at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm. It really was an impressive group!

The Sixth Elder of the Sky Yuan Sect smiled proudly and said, "You too, your group isn't bad as well!"

While the two elders greeted each other, the disciples of the two sects sized each other up.

Su Mo observed the Sky Yuan Sect disciples and was shocked to find that they were more powerful than Gale Island.

"Su Mo, look, that's Sky Yuan Sect's number one Inner Gate disciple, Qin Qianyue!"

Ling Muchen, who stood 10 steps away from Su Mo, pointed to a female disciple and said.

Ling Muchen was too afraid to stand next to Su Mo, because he worried that he would be misunderstood and killed by the Sky Alliance disciples.

He was very worried for Su Mo!

Su Mo had a low probability of making it out of the Inner Gate Trial Test!

Su Mo heard this and looked towards a girl with dark hair, dressed in flowing robes.

She was a stunning beauty with snow-white skin and an amazing figure.

Su Mo was surprised that the top Inner disciple of the Sky Yuan Sect was actually a beautiful girl!

Qin Qianyue seemed to sense Su Mo's gaze from afar and turned her head.

She only glanced coldly at Su Mo and turned back indifferently.

She was the top disciple of the Sky Yuan Sect's Inner Gate, so she was worshipped by thousands, and lusted after by countless men. This type of attention was habitual for her.

"Ling Muchen, since the disciples of the other two sects haven't arrived, let's just get some rest for now!" Su Mo said.

He sat down on a large piece of rock, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

After cultivating for almost 10 days, Su Mo had reached the Peak Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm, and his abilities had improved greatly.

He also tried to break through the bottleneck of cultivation two times but failed.

He had been cultivating too quickly and moved up two levels in a row, so his genuine Qi was not concentrated enough.

Of course, if Su Mo simply devoured a large number of Spiritual Stones with his Martial Soul, he could definitely break through the bottleneck and enter Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.

However, breaking into a new realm forcefully was not as good as improving his cultivation steadily.

Su Mo's Spiritual Spirals were turning ceaselessly to refine his genuine Qi.

After around an hour, several more giant beasts appeared in the sky.

They were giant eagles that were as red as fire, around the same size as the Griffins.

The Scorching Sun Sect had arrived!
