Su Mo followed Long Xun. After they flew for several moments, they reached a huge ancient city.

The city was mammoth, it was several times as huge as the Silver Ice City, it was situated in the centre of a jungle.

​​

However this ancient city had no walls. It offered free access to the passers-by.

"Su Mo, this is the first Long Mansion in the First Mountain!" Long Xun said as he flew towards the direction.

Su Mo understood that this was indeed a basecamp at the First Mountain.

Of course, this could not be the ultimate basecamp. The ultimate basecamp of the Dragon Tribe was situated on the Third Mountain.

Very soon, the duo descended to the huge mansion.

The mansion sat on thousands of acres of land. The wall was above five feet. A golden board hang above the main door. The board read "The Dragon Mansion" and it had a golden dragon inscribed on it. The inscription was majestic and vivid.

There were no security guards in front of the mansion. There was a defence array that appeared unreal and illusory.

The top right of the mansion was protected by another defence array. This protected the privacy of the mansion.

Long Xun pinched out a print to decode the defence array and led Su Mo into the mansion.

The mansion was spacious and many smaller courts lay inside the mansion.

There were few tribesmen inside the mansion. They bowed to Long Xun as he entered the mansion. They peered at Su Mo with curiosity.

Without offering an explanation, Long Xun led Su Mo into one of the courts.

"Su Mo, you're in a disastrous situation now!"

The two men sat facing each other. Long Xun sighed as he stared at Su Mo. "Both the Sky Tyrant Clan and the Sorcerer Tribe will not let you off. You are in peril on the God's Path."

Su Mo kept quiet after he heard Long Xun. He was solemn-faced as he knew that what Long Xun had said was the truth.

At this moment, he could defend himself neither against the Sky Tyrant Clan nor the Sorcerer Tribe.

Now he had even lost his power if he were to take on three enemies of Rank 3 Empty God Realm. What if the enemies sent were of Rank 4 Empty God Realm?

"Su Mo, to be honest with you, your plight made it tough for me to protect you. If you wish to survive, you need to allow my Dragon Tribe to offer you protection." Long Xun explained with sincerity. He had huge respect for Su Mo.

He regarded Su Mo highly, more so than his saints.

Obviously, any dimwit would know that if one day Su Mo became an Empty God, his prowess and power would be tremendous, comparable to a Holy Sage. Perhaps he could surpass a Holy Sage.

"Do you mean that if I join the Dragon Tribe and get accepted by the top leaders, the entire Dragon Tribe will be willing to protect me?" Su Mo asked to understand Long Xun's intention.

He knew that Long Xun would have liked to protect him, however he felt constraints from the pressures exerted by the Sky Tyrant Clan. Full protection could only be offered by the entire Dragon Tribe.

"That's correct. If you are willing to join our Dragon Tribe and pledge your unwavering loyalty, I shall bring you to see our Holy Sage immediately!" Long Xun nodded.

Su Mo remained reticent. He had no conflict of interest to join the Dragon Tribe. After all, they both had a relationship. Furthermore, in the near future, Long Xun would be on his journey to the God's Path.

However, one factor had made him indecisive. That was the Myriad Worlds Mountain.

Long Xun watched Su Mo intently. He knew that he could not compel a gifted genius such as Su Mo.

"Elder Long Xun, I wonder if you have ever heard of the Myriad Worlds Mountain?" Su Mo asked after a contemplative moment.

"The Myriad Worlds Mountain?" Upon hearing this, Long Xun peered to look down at the ground and his expression changed all of a sudden.

Upon seeing this change in Long Xun, Su Mo knew the answer.

"Su Mo, are you telling me you are a disciple of the Myriad Worlds Mountain?" Long Xun inquired with huge fear.

The Myriad Worlds Mountain was a mysterious, forceful entity. It had immense power. However, no one was able to find out their ultimate basecamp.

Long Xun's curiosity was aroused by Su Mo's question. He obviously had some connection with the Myriad Worlds Mountain.

Su Mo was made anxious by Long Xun's inquiry. Should he share the truth with Long Xun?

He had decided to withhold the truth temporarily. He shook his head. "Previously I was approached to join the Myriad Worlds Mountain, I am still considering it!"

"Oh, I see!" Long Xun was relieved. He had not brooded over the matter. It was known that the Myriad Worlds Mountain had been recruiting talents. It was perfectly logical that they had invited Su Mo.

"Elder Long Xun, do you know who the Lord of Myriad Worlds is?" Su Mo asked again.

"The Lord of Myriad Worlds?"

Long Xun contemplated for a few moments and answered solemnly, "The Lord of Myriad Worlds is a horrifying person. Ten thousand years ago, he had defeated our Holy Sage. However, we heard that this Lord of Myriad Worlds had then entered the Deity Plane after his punch to destroy the Rampart of the Deity Plane!"

"Entered into the Deity Plan?" Su Mo was flabbergasted. Could that be Di Yihun? He had entered into the Deity Plane?

"Su Mo, I can lead you to see our Holy Sage, who can furnish you with more information on the Myriad Worlds Mountain. Before that, you need to give me your word to join our Dragon Tribe!" Long Xun attempted to entice Su Mo with such an opportunity.

Without any further ado, he added: "Su Mo, our Holy Sage was one of the heavyweights in the Deity Plane. Even I cannot see him as I wish. If you can meet with him, that will be in God's plan."

"Perhaps!"

Su Mo nodded in agreement. He kept silent. He had wanted to find out who was the Original Soul. Where was the Original Soul?

Because this would affect his destiny.

Previously, at the King Sage Hall in the Dark Region, the Hall Spirit had told him that someone would be waiting for him at the God's Path. Who could that be? Could it be the Original Soul?

After quite a lengthy time, Su Mo nodded and replied: "Alright, I agree to join the Dragon Tribe and I shall pledge my eternal loyalty!"

This decision was made after much consideration. Su Mo had too many enemies, on the one hand, he had to face the Sky Tyrant Clan and the Sorcerer Tribe. On the other hand, he had to deal with the Original Soul, and no one knew its whereabouts. Su Mo had to find protection for himself.

He was unable to count on the Myriad Worlds Mountain, because it had been too mysterious.

He could not afford to let his life depend on an entity he had no knowledge of.

Even if Bai Tiannan had been a good friend. However, that mysterious Lord of Myriad Worlds had been seclusive and exclusive. He had to await an opportunity to find out more about the Lord.

"Haha! Excellent!"

Long Xun was excited to hear of Su Mo's acceptance. "Su Mo, my friend, this will be your wisest decision!"

Long Xun was extremely pleased. They would have a win-win situation with Su Mo joining the Dragon Tribe.

The Dragon Tribe would be able to offer protection to Su Mo. When Su Mo rose again to power, the Dragon Tribe would be in an advantageous position.

"Alright, let's get cracking. I shall bring you to meet our Holy Sage at the Third Mountain!"

Long Xun smiled and suggested. He had to take Su Mo away from the First Mountain in order to protect his friend.

"Sure!"

Su Mo agreed and they both left the court.

However, as they departed, there was a change in the winds and clouds. A huge aura had descended.
