Warrior’s Promise - Chapter 379

Chapter 379: 379


Firmament Palace was overlord power during the ancient times of the Firmament Continent . Although it had long turned into history, its gate would appear in Firmament Divine Realm every three years .

Geniuses from East Continent would gather here every time it appeared, hoping to attain ancient Legacies that hid within . However, for as long as it had existed, only a few people managed to do so .

Nonetheless, even the smallest bit of Legacy was enough to benefit one's entire life . In the history of East Continent, those that received the Legacy of Firmament Palace had mostly grown to become one of the strongest martial artists in the entire world .

No one knew a thing about Firmament Palace's behaviour, and the purpose behind it .

There had been many with great martial power who tore through space and entered Firmament Divine Realm in an attempt to explore Firmament Palace's secrets, or even forcefully occupy it . However, they all ended up dead .

There was even a rumor that a martial artist at the legendary Imperial Realm had died there during the post-archean era .

Su Mo stopped cultivating and rose to his feet . He was not in a hurry to enter Firmament Palace .

Soon, he heard Han Qianze, Wu Sheng, and the rest returning .

"Firmament Palace has finally appeared!"

"Haha! Here comes our chance!"

The four of them were extremely excited and full of glee .

"What do you guys know about Firmament Palace?" Su Mo asked .

Han Qianze paused to collect his thoughts, and replied, "According to my Icynorth Sect's records, there are nine palaces in Firmament Palace . They are Brightgold Palace, Evergreen Palace, Watermoon Palace, Firescorching Palace, Earth Palace, Wind-cloud Palace, Thunderous Palace, Illuminious Palace, and Darknight Palace . "

"The nine palaces correspond to the nine properties that are Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, and Darkness . Every palace has its own unique Legacy which varies in degree . Whether one could obtain the Legacy is completely up to their talent, strength, and fate!"

"Of course, if you're lucky enough, you can also obtain some peculiar treasures . "

" . . . "

Han Qianze knew more about Firmament Palace than the rest, so he shared its information with the group .

"Talent? Strength? Fate?"

Su Mo nodded and anticipated that he had to pass a series of trials to receive its Legacy .

"Let's get up there too!" Su Mo said to Han Qianze and the rest after he saw many figures in the distance shooting up into the sky .

"Alright! Let's go!"

The five of them then rose into the air and flew straight for Firmament Palace .



However, to their frustration, Firmament Palace seemed to be only several kilometers in the air, but they had yet to reach it after flying for 15 minutes .

"What's going on?" Zhu Shaojing asked out of astonishment .


The others were equally puzzled . They should have reached the palace in only a few breaths given their speed, but 15 minutes had passed and they were nowhere near it .

Su Mo frowned and fell into thought, before saying, "Let's continue flying!"

He was clueless as well, but the only option at the moment was to keep flying upward .

The group continued flying for god knows how far, and they finally neared Firmament Palace after two hours .

Countless geniuses appeared in every direction as well, all flying toward the palace with excitement .

After getting close to Firmament Palace, Su Mo instantly realized that it was completely shrouded by a spherical water curtain .

Upon seeing the other geniuses dashing into the water curtain, Su Mo and the rest did not hesitate to do the same .

Upon entering the water curtain, Su Mo felt his head spinning and it felt as if he was being transported .



After a short while, his dizziness stopped as the five of them appeared above a gigantic square . Su Mo suddenly felt his body sinking . He could not remain in the air somehow, and fell straight down .

Although he was caught by surprise, Su Mo saw everyone else falling as well, and immediately came to the realization that this place was probably equipped with Air-sealing Formation and prevented people from flying .

Thud!

They soon landed, and Su Mo glanced around to find himself on a huge White Jade Square that was five kilometers across . There was an enormous stone gate at the end of the square, and behind it was a sky ladder that led to Firmament Palace .

At this moment, there were already many geniuses at the White Jade Square that teamed up into small groups . The atmosphere was fiery as everyone excitedly chattered over each other .

Su Mo directed his attention to the enormous stone gate and the sky ladder . Overhearing the discussion around him, he immediately learned that the ladder was known as "Sky-climbing Ladder" . There were 999 steps on the Sky-climbing Ladder, and one could only set foot upon it after passing through the stone gate . The ladder itself was a huge trial, and one would only complete the first round of the trials after reaching the top of the ladder .

Comprehension dawned on Su Mo, as he realized that he had to complete a series of trials in order to receive the Legacy .

However, he fixed his gaze on the ladder as he didn't know how it could be a trial .

Upon failing to figure it out, Su Mo shook his head and gave up . He would find out anyway as soon as he set foot on the ladder, but the stone gate was currently closed and denied entry .

Su Mo and the rest then waited patiently for the gate to open .

Time passed by slowly as geniuses from every domain started to show up at the White Jade Square . Everyone was staring at the Sky-climbing Ladder with excitement beaming in their eyes .



After an hour, there were already about 6,000 people gathered here and this swamped the square with noisy discussions . There were also many geniuses who discovered Su Mo, and they all stared at him angrily .

Every one of them was a victim of Su Mo's crime . They were completely broke since Su Mo had even taken their weapons away, and their grievance was understandable .

Su Mo ignored their angry stares and started to scrutinize the crowd, only to discover many experts around . There were about 70 people at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, and they seemed to be geniuses from the four super-sized domains .

He also found many familiar faces of the Hong Domain . Ao Wushuang, Duanmu Ying, Nie Chong, and even Prince of Flaming Cloud, Huo Ling, were all present .

Three figures landed on the White Jade Square at this moment, Su Mo looked over and saw the ninth princess, Hong Qingtian, and Chu Yunfeng .

As they arrived, Chu Yunfeng spotted Su Mo right away and stared at him fiercely .

Meanwhile, Su Mo disregarded him and focused on the ninth princess instead . She was no longer wearing a veil, and her unparalleled beauty attracted the attention of many geniuses .

However, Su Mo was focusing on her cultivation instead of her face . She had astoundingly reached Lv 6 True Spirit Realm!

Su Mo was stunned, "How did she cultivate?"

She was only at Peak Lv 3 True Spirit Realm during the Top-100-talent Competition . When they met previously at Distant Ancient City, she was already at Lv 5, yet, so little time had passed before she broke through again and reached Lv 6 . This was incredible!

Su Mo had always thought that his rate of cultivation was amazing and unrivalled within the same generation . However, he was now impressed by the Ninth Princess, and realized that there would always be someone better . His rate of cultivation was rivalled after all!
