After Su Mo followed Reverend Jin Wu back to Jin Wu Mansion, he returned to his palace.
He sat alone in the secret chamber and dwelt on the information that Buddha Sunyata had passed on to them. The information was intelligible but some time would be required to master it.
“According to what Grandmaster has said, every type of Rules belongs to the Rules of the Universe. That is to say, if I have a good grasp of the Rules of the Flames, I will be able to control the flames of the universe. That
will mean controlling one of the 3,000 Rules. The power of the Rules comes from our comprehension of it. Our cultivation level is about gathering the power of the Rules…!”
Su Mo muttered to himself. Those were the basics of Martial Arts, and his Chaotic Power was no exception.
Shortly, Su Mo shut his eyes and cleared his mind. He attempted to master his own sets of Rules and unveil the mysteries of their power.
The Devouring Rules, Five Element Rule, Rules of the Flames, Rules of Ice, and the Life and Death Rule were different powers of the rules and regulations. The powers were traceable and profound.
Time passed quickly as Su Mo immersed himself in comprehending the Rules.
This day, Reverend Jin Wu’s voice resounded in his ears.
Su Mo opened his eyes and a nebula seemed to appear in his eyes, making him look profound. He had a better comprehension of his Rules during the past few days and a clearer view of his cultivation path.
He was surprised that his Five Element Rule had advanced from Rank 6 Middle Realm to Rank 6 End Realm.
The Five Element Rule belonged to Zang Renjie. After Su Mo had devoured and merged it, it became his. Although he could activate it, he was unable to master it.
For the past few days, Su Mo had not attempted to comprehend the Five Element Rule and he was merely trying to master the other Rules that he possessed. At the same time, he was analyzing the connection between
the Chaotic Power Source and the Rules.
By doing so, it brought up the level of his Five Element Rule.
From the looks of it, the Five Element Rule is most suitable for me! Su Mo muttered to himself. His Chaotic Power Source had been formed by the power of the Five Elements and thus the Five Element Rule suited him
well.
Su Mo was elated. Since his Five Element Rule had moved up a level, it increased his strength tremendously. It would help him greatly in breaking through to the Middle-rank Supreme Being Realm.
When the power of one’s Rules became mighty, his cultivation level would move up more quickly.
Su Mo changed to a green robe before he left the secret chamber and headed toward Reverend Jin Wu’s palace.
He knew that Reverend Jin Wu had summoned him as the Headquarters Selection was round the corner.
Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang arrived at the palace almost at the same time.
“Wu Shan, Buddha Sunyata has sent someone to pass this to you!”
When Reverend Jin Wu saw Su Mo, he turned his palm over, revealing a Jade Box. It was squarish, about the size of a watermelon.
“What is this?” Su Mo asked curiously. Before he had left Suspended Holy Mountain back then, Buddha Sunyata had indeed told him that he would present him with a gift.
“I have no idea!” Reverend Jin Wu said as he shook his head. Since it was a gift from his Teacher, it would be inappropriate for him to check on it.
Reverend Jin Wu then handed the Jade Box over to Su Mo with great care.
Su Mo took over the Jade Box and noticed that it was sealed and there was no way to open it.
Ling Chang and Lin Ya were curious to find out what their Grandmaster had given to Su Mo.
“The Headquarters Selection commences today. We shall go to Suspended Holy Mountain now!” Reverend Jin Wu said grimly as he looked at the three of them.
“Yes!” The three of them nodded.
Following that, Reverend Jin Wu brought the three of them to the Headquarters of Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
On the way, Su Mo kept looking at the Jade Box.
It was strange that there was no gap in the Jade Box and no opening.
“Junior Brother, what is this?” Lin Ya asked as she came near Su Mo, looking curiously at the Jade Box. Since the gift was from their Grandmaster, it had to be something special.
“I have no idea.” Su Mo shook his head.
“Let me take a look,” Lin Ya said. She stretched out her hand and took the Jade Box to study it.
Su Mo did not stop her. He had no idea what the Jade Box contained and he did not mind letting Lin Ya have a look.
Lin Ya made several attempts to open the Jade Box by infusing Power Source and hacking it with sword and saber but her efforts were futile.
“Junior Sister, why don’t you take a look?”
Ultimately, Lin Ya gave up and handed the Jade Box over to Ling Chang.
Ling Chang merely took a look at it and handed the Jade Box over to Su Mo. Since it was a gift from their Grandmaster, Ling Chang felt that it would be more appropriate for Su Mo to unravel the mystery.
“Wu Shan, since you have no idea what it is, you may ask my Teacher when we reach Suspended Holy Mountain!” Reverend Jin Wu said.
everend Jin Wu did not study the Jade Box. When the Jade Box was being sent over, he was told to hand it over to Wu Shan and no one was allowed to check on it.
He did not stop Lin Ya earlier as Wu Shan had been present when she had checked on it.
“Yes, Teacher!” Su Mo nodded and decided to put the Jade Box away.
However, he suddenly recalled that Buddha Sunyata had asked him for a drop of his blood before he had departed. Is his blood the key to open the Jade Box?
At that thought, Su Mo immediately dripped one drop of his blood onto the Jade Box.
ndeed!
After the blood had been absorbed by the Jade Box, it opened up to reveal an object.
A jade pendant, about the size of a palm, was kept in the Jade Box and it was squarish and blue.
“What is this?” Su Mo was curious and he took the jade pendant to study it.
At that instant, Lin Ya, Ling Chang, and even Reverend Jin Wu were looking at the jade pendant.
All of them were curious about the gift that Buddha Sunyata had given to Su Mo.
When Su Mo was looking at the jade pendant, a dim voice suddenly resounded in Su Mo’s mind.
“I have refined this treasure for you with your blood. This is to cover up the aura of the Vastness Purple Qi in your body and it can save your life. Keep it close to you!”
The voice resounded in Su Mo’s mind and he came to a realization.
That was a treasure to camouflage the aura of the Vastness Purple Qi.
The Supremes were unable to sense the Vastness Purple Qi in his body, but the Kismet Masters were able to do so.
As the Vastness Purple Qi was unique, Su Mo would get into trouble if someone were to find out about it.
Buddha Sunyata was indeed thoughtful and he had taken that into consideration.
“Junior Brother, what kind of treasure is this?” Lin Ya’s eyes lit up and she was full of curiosity.
“This is a treasure to cover up my talents!” Su Mo replied. Having said that, he put away the jade pendant and kept it close to him.
Although he had no idea if the jade pendant had the ability to cover the aura of the Vastness Purple Qi, he chose to believe it since Buddha Sunyata had said so.
“Cover up your talents? Why must you cover up your talents?” Lin Ya was puzzled when she heard what Su Mo had said.
“I have incredible talent and this is to hide it lest someone gets jealous of me!” Su Mo replied with a sigh.
When Lin Ya heard Su Mo’s reply, she curled her lips. Wu Shan seemed humble but he turns out to be great at bragging!
Although you possess great talent and are invincible in Palmy Branch, is there a need for you to hide your talent?
To what incredible extent is the power of your talent?
Lin Ya did not believe what Su Mo had said. She reckoned that the jade pendant was a treasure that their Grandmaster had given to Su Mo.
Reverend Jin Wu glanced at the jade pendant and did not say a word. He shared the same sentiment as Lin Ya. However, since the jade pendant was given by Buddha Sunyata, he did not pursue further.
Only Ling Chang had a different thought. She believed that Su Mo was telling the truth.
The four of them did not say a word along the way and after some time, they came to Ancient Cloud Star and arrived at Suspended Holy Mountain.
When they reached Suspended Holy Mountain, Su Mo and Ling Chang were stunned.
The area around Suspended Holy Mountain was already packed with a multitude.
They could only see the heads of the people and there were about a hundred million of them.
Those with the lowest cultivation levels were the Supreme Beings and many elders who were at the Supreme Realm were present.
The people formed several groups in dozens and hundreds. Although no one spoke loudly, the sounds of the people whispering to one another were like the waves of the ocean.
No one stepped into Suspended Holy Mountain and they merely gathered around it.
“There are so many people!”
Although Su Mo had been expecting such a scene, his heart sank when he saw the multitude. He did not have confidence in passing through the Selection and becoming a disciple of the Headquarters.
There would be fierce competition!.
