After leaving Distant Ancient City, Su Mo soon returned to the forest outside.
At this moment, Hang Yijian and the rest were atop the branches of a gigantic tree. They were still dazed when Su Mo returned.
They had seen everything that happened clearly. Su Mo’s overpowering strength left them slack-jawed and they had yet to recover from the shock.
“Take these!”
As Su Mo landed beside the four of them, four storage rings came flying from his palm and they grabbed the rings subconsciously.
“These are your rewards. We’ll rest here for the day and continue tomorrow morning!” Su Mo said with a smile. He then sat cross-legged on a thick branch.
Han Qianze and the rest entered the rings with their thoughts and were stunned by the contents.
There were mountains of Spiritual Stones that numbered at least 20 million Lower Spiritual Stones in each ring.
Hiss!
They gasped uncontrollably and became lost in thought. “Did we just earn so many Spiritual Stones in so little time?”
“Mug… Mugging really is an excellent way to get rich!”
They had never committed robbery as they had come from wealthy backgrounds. Only now did they truly understand that it would make them rich instantly.
A moment had passed before they took a deep breath to calm themselves down. They saw nothing but excitement when they glanced at each other.
They gazed at Su Mo silently afterward, but their eyes expressed their desolation and complicated emotions.
They should be happy about the amount of Spiritual Stones they received, but they were not.
Su Mo’s strength had terrified them, and his talent left them awestruck. They felt unworthy to be called geniuses when being compared to Su Mo.
However, as determined individuals, they soon discarded their negative emotions and became motivated again.
Although they were uncomparable to Su Mo, the difference between them was unbridgeable. So long as they worked harder and continued to progress, they would make it far as martial artists.
Then, unwilling to waste any time, they started cultivating as well.
With the motivation from Su Mo and the vast amount of Spiritual Stones, they trained crazily. Piece after piece of Spiritual Stones was absorbed to strengthen their cultivation, and each of them had gone through over 200 pieces in just two hours.
Time passed by while Su Mo was completely engrossed in cultivating.
He had set a small goal for himself, which was to stabilize his cultivation and advance his Nirvana Cultivation Method to the fifth realm before the appearance of the Firmament Palace. Well… he was also thinking of robbing a couple hundred million Spiritual Stones.
Time flew while they were cultivating and the day was soon over. They continued mugging the next day just like before.
The five of them steadily advanced through the enormous Firmament Divine Realm and ransacked everywhere they passed through.
Thanks to the handsome payout on the first day, Han Yijian and the rest worked extremely hard.
However, they did not run into anymore big groups of geniuses in the following days. The Firmament Divine Realm was said to have a radius of several hundred thousand miles. Since the 10,000 geniuses from all the domains were scattered all over the place, it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
On the second day, they had only managed to mug 20 people. However, they had a combined wealth of almost 50 million Lower Spiritual Stones, and loads of various weapons and Spiritual Herbs.
…
Atop a barren hill, sat a young man with red hair. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
There were dozens of geniuses from Cold-blood Hall standing behind him. Several dried-up corpses of geniuses from other domains were also laying atop the hill.
At this moment, three black-robed figures rapidly approached from the sky and landed before the red-haired young man.
“Prince Blood!” Xue Qi and the two others bowed to the red-haired young man.
They were currently pale as a sheet. Although they had managed to survive Su Mo’s final attack and escape, they suffered serious internal injuries.
“Speak! What’s going on?” The young man asked with a hoarse voice, obviously aware that something happened to them.
“We originally had everything under control at Distant Ancient City and were about to kill everyone, but a man named Su Mo somehow appeared at the last moment. Although he was only at Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, his combat strength was absurd. He had killed everyone else, including Xue Yin. We were lucky to escape!” Xue Qi said with a frightened expression.
“Su Mo!” The red-haired young man chanted softly as he opened his eyes, which were red as well.
He then nodded and replied flatly, “I’ve got it! I’ll kill him when the Firmament Palace appears, you are excused!”
“Yes, Prince Blood!” The three of them bowed and moved away.
The red-haired young man sat there for a long while, before finally leaving with the other geniuses from Cold-blood Hall. Everyone that they came across was killed and sucked dry.
…
Meanwhile, Su Mo’s gang was wandering around as the four of them continued to look for targets, while he did the mugging himself. They cultivated at the same time, and ransacked one region after another. No one could withstand a single strike from him.
As time passed, Su Mo had already seized over 400 storage rings.
The days went by, and Su Mo finally advanced into the fifth realm of Nirvana Cultivation Method on the seventh day. The power of Nirvana Genuine Vitality had increased again, and he could now produce nine more strands of Nirvana Sword Qi.
On the ninth day, Su Mo had managed to seize 500 storage rings.
He was now cultivating at the foot of a mountain. After cultivating for nine days, his foundation was slightly stable, and his Genuine Vitality was denser and more refined than before.
After a long while, Su Mo let out a mouthful of heavy air.
“Just a little more time on refining my Genuine Vitality and stabilizing my foundation, and I’ll be able to devour again!” Su Mo sighed and mumbled.
He then took a look at his storage ring and roughly inventoried his earnings.
With almost 550 storage rings, the sum amounted to over 800 million Lower Spiritual Stones, 760,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, over 3,000 Spiritual Herbs, and countless types of weapons, scrolls, and elixirs!
Although Su Mo was already mentally prepared, he was overwhelmed with shock nonetheless.
It took Su Mo a while to calm himself down.
“This much wealth should be able to last me until the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm!” Su Mo said with a smile.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occured. The hologram of a huge stretch of buildings appeared in the sky. There were countless splendiferous pavilions and palaces that lasted for miles and miles and seemingly had no end. Tens of thousands of rays of sky glow lit up the entire Firmament Divine Realm.
The hologram materialized in the blink of an eye and turned into a divine palace that floated in the air.
All of these had appeared out of nowhere, through unfathomable means, and left everyone in awe.
“Is this… the Firmament Palace?”
Su Mo gasped in amazement, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. He was extremely interested in the Ancient Legacies as well!
