Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 258

Chapter 258: 258


Gale Prairie truly lived up to its name . The strong wind was blowing so hard that ordinary people would barely be able to move forward .

The carriage was useless now . Su Mo abandoned it and headed for the location of the treasures on foot .

"The wind is so violent here . Perhaps this is the perfect place to train my sword skills . The wind will inspire and help me catch onto the sword will . Maybe I can improve my Wind sword will!" Su Mo reflected on this idea as he stepped forward .

Although he had already known of the sword will for a long time, his proficiency in Wind sword will had not improved .

To improve the Wind sword will, he must understand the will of the wind . Since Su Mo had been concentrating on elevating his cultivation recently, he'd had time to do this .

Su Mo then made up his mind to advance his sword will when he was free .

Two days later, Su Mo finally arrived at the destination marked on the map .

The place lay in the deep of the great prairie, where little hillocks rose .

"Here it is!"

Su Mo looked around . This was a vast grassy hill, where everything was open and clean . Su Mo saw nothing that could be called a treasure .

Su Mo's brow furrowed . His effort would be in vain if there was no treasure here .

"Is it possible that the treasure is buried in the ground?" Su Mo murmured to himself . Everything here could be seen in the light of day . If there was a treasure, it must be hidden under the ground .

However, the spot marked on the map was not specific . Su Mo only roughly knew that the treasure was around here . The little hillocks that covered hundreds of square miles were too large for him to find what he wanted .

But Su Mo would not retreat empty-handed . He decided to attempt a full search .

Drilling was a piece of cake to Su Mo now .

With a kick on the ground, he bounced up high and then turned over with his head down before he started to fall .

Su Mo mustered up his genuine Qi and formed a sound, oval hood in front of him . His genuine Qi spun wildly like a drill rotating at high speed .

Swoosh!

The hard ground turned into soft, fragile tofu as the hood of his Genuine Qi hit it . He drilled into the earth in a blink of an eye .

Su Mo kept heading downward until he was several kilometers beneath the ground .

This was as deep as he could go . The hard rock formation and the sizeable amount of underground water here all put a large amount of pressure on Su Mo .

Then, he started to search for his target in the surrounding area . He went up and down, and sometimes he drilled out of the ground to change the drilling site .

Working for a whole day and night, he surveyed every corner of this place, but he did not find anything .

In the end, he got out of the earth and stood on a hillock, his expression sullen .

"Damn it! Where the heck is the treasure?" Su Mo cursed . He had worked so hard and had spent such a long time searching for the treasure, yet ended up with nothing . It was sensible for him to lose his temper .

He pulled out the two incomplete maps and had one last look before he crumbled them in his hand with Genuine Qi .

That was when something unusual happened .



Spots of light, one after another, emerged from the debris of the maps and quickly disappeared into the earth .

"What's this?" 

The abrupt change staggered Su Mo, who was completely lost . Suddenly, the earth began to shake like an earthquake .

After a dozen seconds, a golden beam shot up in the sky in the distance .

It was a tremendous, dazzling beam, with a diameter several kilometers wide . It looked as though it had pierced through the firmament and reached the end of it .

At that moment, all the experts in Wuning were alarmed . Even those thousands of kilometers away could see the huge golden beam .

"Is the land of treasure opened?" 

Su Mo was amazed, he had not expected the secret to be hidden in the map itself .

Su Mo instantly headed for where the beam was and soon arrived right before the beam .

He could sense a mysterious energy fluctuation on the beam that was powerful enough to destroy everything . Su Mo dared not stay too close . He studied the beam 30 paces away .

"Where . . . can I enter?" 

Su Mo checked the place and did not see any entrance . He was confused .

He then continued to look over the area around the beam . This time he did it more carefully, but unfortunately, the entrance was still unseen .



"Could this beam be the entry?" Su Mo thought .

He picked up a stone and cast it to the beam as a test before he acted personally .

Slash!

The stone did not make it; it turned into ashes one meter away from the beam .

Su Mo's face changed . He thought for a moment before he summoned a Medium Lv 2 long saber and threw it at the beam .

Slash!

Similarly, the saber crumbled the moment it touched the beam, although it was much harder than the stone .

"How . . . could it have such a horrific destructive power?" 

Su Mo's face grew severe . Even a durable weapon like the Medium Lv 2 saber had met the same doom as the rock in the face of the beam . Just how strong was the beam?

Su Mo was left with no alternatives . He did not know where the entrance was, and he was unwilling to leave without gaining anything, either .

After a long struggle, Su Mo found a spot nearby and sat down cross-legged .

Just then, a blue light flashed through the sky and arrived before the beam .

An old man in gray walked out of the light and floated in the air . He watched the golden beam in contemplation .

"Is it the Ethereal Shrine?" the old man said to himself and then shook his head, having another guess . "No, this should be the Ethereal Territory!"



A few moments later, he darted a look at Su Mo beneath him and left .

"Huh!"

Su Mo sighed with relief at the sight of the old man's departure . The one look that man gave him made him freeze as if he was suddenly put in an igloo .

He was sure that the old man's cultivation was above the True Spirit Realm, perhaps in the True Strength Realm, a realm which very few people were in .

At that instant, from a different direction, two blue lights cut through the sky and touched nearby .

Two people emerged from the light, a middle-aged man and an old woman .

"Ha-ha! The Ethereal Territory finally shows itself . What a grand opportunity for our disciples!" Looking at the beam, the man roared with laughter .

"The Ethereal Territory will open in 10 days . We must hasten to inform our disciples!" the old woman said impassively . They then left without a glance at Su Mo .

"The Ethereal Territory? Is that the place where the treasure hides?" 

Su Mo's eyes glinted with excitement . If the territory was going to open in 10 days, he would definitely wait .

After that, more and more people came and went .

The news that the Ethereal Territory quickly emerged spread throughout Wuning .

Batches of young martial artists were coming to the Gale Prairie . In less than two days, more than 1,000 people had gathered near the beam .

At the same time, martial artists from every corner of Wuning were trickling in . Some of them were in the Spiritual Martial Realm, and many in the True Spirit Realm .
