Su Mo walked out of the hall only to see Long Teng rushing over to him.

"Su Mo, let me tell you some good news. Li Feng is here." Long Teng smiled.

​​

Long Teng had just broken through to the Rank 1 Empty God Realm. The aura around him was strong and he glowed a slight shade of red.

"Oh? Where is he?" Su Mo was rather surprised and he asked hurriedly.

"In my living quarters." Long Teng said.

"Go, take me there." Su Mo quickly ushered. With that, he followed Long Teng to where Long Teng's living quarters were.

In Long Teng's living quarters, Su Mo saw Li Feng and they exchanged a slight smile.

Li Feng's combat strength was much stronger than it had been. However, since Li Feng had trained his physical body, it was hard to tell from just his appearance.

The three sat opposite each other and started to talk.

"Su Mo, let me tell you some good news but don't be too shocked." Li Feng suddenly broke into a smile.

"What good news?" Su Mo was taken aback and he stared at Li Feng. Could it be that Xi'er had been found?

It would be a joyous thing if Xi'er was found.

"You have a son." Li Feng laughed.

"Ah...?" Su Mo's face instantly turned blank. He had a son?

However, he quickly came to a realization. It must be the child of Mu Li.

At the same time that Su Mo was happy, he was also at a loss for words. Wasn't it a face that the higher one's cultivation rank, the harder it was to bear children? Why did she become pregnant so easily?

"How are Mu Li and the child?"

A few moments later, Su Mo asked hesitantly.

"They are both well. This child has a high talent!" Li Feng said.

"Oh, what kind of talents?" Su Mo's eyes bulged open. The child was born not too long ago, how could they tell his talents so quickly?

"We are not too sure of his Martial Soul and we will only know once it is awakened. However, the moment the child was born, his Blood Force was as thick and rich as a dragon's. It was almost as if he was already a Martial Royal." Li Feng answered.

"That strong?" Su Mo's heart jumped and his mouth hung open. My goodness, this jump in strength was too immense.

"What is his name?" Su Mo asked again. His heart pumped in eagerness and he desperately wanted to rush back to Infinite Region.

Yet, this was only his thoughts and he knew that he couldn't head back immediately.

"Su Xiaomo!" Li Feng replied.

"Psh...!"

Su Mo could only spit out blood at Li Feng's reply.

...

After Su Mo, Li Feng and Long Teng talked for a long while, he bade farewell to the two and returned to the palace where he cultivated.

Su Mo saw Long Xun back at the palace. It was Long Xun's palace, and Su Mo had been living in one of the palace's cultivation rooms.

"Su Mo, I am confident in you!" Long Xun patted Su Mo's shoulder and smiled.

He knew Su Mo well, Su Mo could not be compared to the Dragon Tribe. Hence, he was pretty confident that Su Mo could be placed first.

Granted, this was only a slight possibility. No one knew how strong Ancient God Tu Ying and Ancient Demon Tuo Si were.

"I will not disappoint you!" Su Mo nodded his head seriously.

Without wasting more time, Su Mo walked into his cultivation room again.

As he cleared aside his thoughts, Su Mo began his cultivation.

Su Mo began to devour Spiritual Crystals, absorbing the Spiritual Qi so that his Sacred Elixir, Spiritual Soul and Blood Force surged strongly, channeling energy into Su Mo's body and muscles.

This process would be more effective if Su Mo used Dawn Stones. However, he had practically used all the Dawn Stones he had.

Although he was favored by Long Xun, he didn't want to ask Long Xun for Dawn Stones.

Luckily, Su Mo still had quite a number of Spiritual Crystals. Even after using a ton in his previous cultivation seclusion, he had a sufficient amount to last him for a long period of time.

Su Mo's cultivation speed was fast. However, despite his speed, he would need at least two more years before he had a hope of completely attaining the divine body.

Time flew by and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

In the morning.

Su Mo left his cultivation room and arrived in the Sovereign Dragon Hall.

He had arrived early and found no one else at the Hall. He patiently waited for the arrival of the crowd.

A few moments later, Long Xun and a group of Dragon Tribe experts arrived.

There was a total of seven people in the group of seven. Aside from Long Xun, there was another Rank 4 Empty God while the rest were Rank 3 Empty Gods.

The Rank 4 Empty God was another elder who wore a long black robe. He was average-sized but had a wrinkled face, although he appeared younger than Long Xun.

"Greetings to seniors!" Su Mo immediately cupped his fists and greeted the group.

"At ease!"

The Rank 4 Empty God spoke.

"Su Mo, this is the Grand Elder of the Dragon Tribe." Long Xun introduced Su Mo to the elder.

"Nice to meet you, Grand Elder!" Su Mo bowed towards the elder again.

"Su Mo, do your best in the contest!" The Grand Elder patted Su Mo's shoulder and gave some encouragement.

"I will not disappoint Grand Elder." Su Mo nodded his head.

Thereafter, the group continued to wait. A few moments later, Tribe Leader Long Chao, Long Daotian and Long Teng arrived.

Long Teng was the Five Claw Golden Dragon and once he arrived at Third Mountain, Tribe Leader Long Chao personally taught him. As such, it was natural for Long Teng to follow the Tribe Leader.

"Alright, it isn't early anymore. Let's head out."

Once Long Chao arrived, he called out and led the crowd out of the hall without much hesitation towards Ninth Mountain.

Ninth Mountain was the last mountain of God's Path. According to the rumors, it was the mountain closest to Deity Plane and hence it was far off.

As the group flew through the Empty Space, Su Mo felt a thin pressure that was invisible and shapeless. This pressure pressed down on his heart strongly.

Su Mo wasn't sure about the origin of this pressure but he thought that it was related to Deity Plane.

If not for this pressure, anyone could easily enter Deity Plane.

"Su Mo, I heard that you are trained with Chaotic Energy?"

In the midst of flying, Long Daotian moved closer to Su Mo and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Su Mo nodded his head slightly.

"Are you trying to imitate the Chaotic Tribesmen from the legend?" A smirk curled up Long Daotian's lips.

He did not think that Su Mo was in the Chaotic Tribe as Su Mo wasn't the only one who practiced Chaotic Energy.

Some martial artists used the Chaotic Energy as well, in an attempt to imitate the Chaotic Tribesmen. However, these martial artists could never display the true strength of the Chaotic Energy.

That was because they lacked a martial arts way personalized to themselves.

Facts had illustrated that aside from the Chaotic Tribesmen, no one else could train with Chaotic Energy. At the end, they would only be stuck at a roadblock.

"Am I not allowed to?" Su Mo countered. He did not have a good impression of Long Daotian.

"Of course you can. However, don't blame me for not warning you. The power of Chaotic Energy is very strong but it is hard for you to walk down that path." Long Daotian smirked.

"You don't have to worry about me." Su Mo expressionlessly said.

"Ignorant." Long Daotian chuckled sneakily. Without bothering to converse further with the cold-faced Su Mo, he flew to another corner.

The group continued on their path. Around two hours later, Ninth Mountain slowly appeared in their sights.

"That is...!"

The moment Su Mo saw Ninth Mountain, his heart jumped in surprise.

Ninth Mountain did not appear to have a physical body and it was slightly illusionary.

A wave-like force seemed to dissipate in all directions, flooding the empty space.

Su Mo could not tell where the force wave had originated but right in the middle of the force wave was an invisible mountain.

This mountain was not large and it was far smaller than First Mountain and Third Mountain, with a radius of only about 100 kilometers.

The mountain seemed to be built out of air and dust as it appeared a slight greyish color. It continuously shrunk and expanded at a rate that could not be distinguished.

Very quickly, Su Mo followed the group and headed through the force wave. He instantly felt a pressure squashing his body.

The force wave seemed to crush him, and Su Mo felt as though sharp pins were poking his skin.

"Senior, what is this force wave?" Su Mo flew towards Long Xun and asked curiously.

"This force wave is known as the Boundary Force. It is formed by the Boundary Space. if you fly straight ahead, you can fly through layers of Boundary Force and Space before you finally enter Deity Plane." Long Xun informed Su Mo.

"What?" Su Mo was taken aback. Was the Boundary Space the separation between Deity Plane and God's Path?

If he flew through the force wave, could he reach Boundary Space?

"What strength do you need to go through Boundary Space?" Su Mo asked.

"You need the strength of a Holy Sage. Once you pass through Ninth Mountain, you will need to fly another hour before you reach Boundary Space!" Long Xun replied.

"Understood!" Su Mo nodded his head. It seemed that even Rank 4 Empty Gods were unable to reach the Boundary Space.

Under the influence of the Boundary Force from Boundary Space, average martial artists were not able to go to Ninth Mountain.

Even a Rank 1 Empty God would have to go through huge pressure to reach Ninth Mountain.

As they spoke, the group closed in on Ninth Mountain.

The group were all experts and even Long Teng, who had the lowest cultivation rank, had a combat strength that far exceeded a Rank 1 Empty God.
