Su Mo went back to the inn and waited patiently.
He had no idea if Qin'er would look for him but he simply had to wait for her.
Qin'er was his only hope to get into Human Palace.
As for Chu Yan, Su Mo had no regard for him. He was merely a clown.
If not for Su Mo's special identity and the fact that he was trying to keep a low profile, he would not have let Chu Yan off.
He could only lie low for the time being as he wanted to avoid creating havoc.
Su Mo sighed. As he took note of what was going on outside, he was working on comprehending his Devouring Ultimacy at the same time.
In the twinkle of an eye, three days passed.
Qin'er did not look for him but Su Mo was not anxious. He continued waiting.
He had decided to wait for another three days. If Qin'er did not look for him by then, he would think of other ways.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
One day later, someone knocked on Su Mo's door.
Su Mo used his Holy Senses and saw a middle-aged man standing outside his room. The man was in a brocade robe and he looked stern.
Su Mo opened his eyes and realized that the middle-aged man had just come out of Human Palace.
He had been observing Human Palace and thus he recognized the man.
Su Mo stood up and opened the door. He then looked at the middle-aged man.
"Elder, how can I help?" Su Mo asked.
"Are you Duan Jingtian?" The middle-aged man asked as he sized Su Mo up.
"Yes!" Su Mo nodded.
"Great. Come with me!" The middle-aged man said, leaving no room for any question.
"Are we going to Human Palace?" Su Mo asked. He believed that the middle-aged man had come to bring him to Human Palace.
Qin'er did not make the trip personally but she had sent someone over.
"Hmm!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I have to get this straight. Although Miss Qin'er has recommended you, you still have to go through the talent test. If you don't pass the test, you can't enter Human Palace!"
"I understand!" Su Mo nodded and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin'er did not ignore him and she had arranged for someone to bring him to Human Palace.
"Alright. Let's go!"
The middle-aged man said and turned around. He walked out with Su Mo following behind him.

Su Mo then entered Human Palace with the middle-aged man.
There were many smaller palaces in Human Palace like the royal families'.
Su Mo followed the middle-aged man to a grand palace.
There were not many people in the palace, and the middle-aged man brought Su Mo to an empty room by the side.
"Duan Jingtian, I am the deacon. Tell me about your background!" The middle-aged man said as he sat on the main seat, without asking Su Mo to take a seat.
"I am from the Ultimate Sword Domain in Sky Pool Holy Court and I cultivate martial arts on my own!" Su Mo said.
"Why do you want to join Human Palace?" The deacon asked again. He was simply going through the procedures.
Qin'er had told him about Duan Jingtian and he was not afraid that Duan Jingtian had ulterior motives.
After all, Duan Jingtian had had to start from the lowest rank. Without any achievement and contribution, he would not be able to get to the inner circle of the Palace.
"My reason is simple. I can achieve much only if I join a great force!" Su Mo replied with a straight face.
"The Ultimate Supreme Being Hall in Ultimate Sword Region is as powerful as Human Palace. Why do you come to the Reincarnation Holy Court?" The deacon asked again.
"I have a feud with some disciples from the Ultimate Supreme Being Hall and thus I have no wish to join them!" Su Mo replied plainly.
"Alright. How about your talent? What Primordial Spirit do you possess?" The deacon asked.
In fact, the deacon knew that Su Mo had great talent as he was not even 100 years old.
For a young man to be a Rank 4 Empty God, he had to possess great talent.
"I possess the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit!" Su Mo replied.
"I see. Show it to me!" The deacon said, looking a little amazed.
Su Mo immediately released his Chaotic Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit. Although he did not activate the power, its great might was emitted from the Primordial Spirit.
"Chaotic Energy!" When the deacon saw the power, he was astounded. It was apparent that the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit was refined by the Chaotic Energy.
"Yes. I cultivate the power of the Five Elements. I chanced upon the Great Rotating Sacred Sword and have refined it with the Chaotic Energy!" Su Mo said with a smile. What he had said sounded logical and it was within the Rules of Martial Arts.

"You are lucky!"
The deacon nodded. He did not ask any more questions and simply said, "With your talent, you can join Human Palace. From now on, you will be an Outer Palace Disciple."
"Thank you, Deacon!" Su Mo cupped his fist at the deacon when he heard what the deacon had said.
"Give me a drop of your blood. I don't need your Blood Essence!" The deacon turned his palm over and two pieces of jade pendants appeared.
Su Mo acceded to the deacon's request as he had asked for the ordinary blood. That would not expose his identity.
Su Mo forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip and as he waved his hand, the drop of blood shot toward the deacon.
The deacon waved his hand and split the blood apart, directing it to the two pieces of jade pendants.
Swoosh!
The deacon then threw one jade pendant to Su Mo.
"That will be your identification jade tag. As for this piece, I shall keep it at a special place in the palace!" The deacon said.
"Understand!" Su Mo said as he caught hold of the jade pendant.
"You can find your quarters from the jade pendant. There are also many messages in it. You can find the rules, cultivation places and much information. Go back and have a good look at it!" The deacon said.
"Thank you, Deacon!" Su Mo cupped his fist and thanked the deacon.
"Alright. You may leave!" The deacon said as he waved his hand.
"I shall excuse myself then!"
Su Mo bowed respectfully at the deacon and left the palace.
When he looked at the jade pendant, he saw the numbers 95278 stated on it!
Su Mo knew that it was the number of his quarters. As Human Palace was huge, he would need some time to locate it.
Su Mo triggered his thoughts to check on the jade pendant and he saw that there was a large amount of information on it.
There were many rules and a detailed map of the palace.
After checking on the map, Su Mo finally found the location of his quarters.
There was an Outer Palace and an Inner Palace in Human Palace. Su Mo was currently at the Outer Palace.
He started to walk toward his quarters.
Soon, he came to a region with several garrets.
The garrets were not big and they were about 16.5 meters tall. There were two levels in a garret, and each garret was about seven meters away from one another.
Soon, Su Mo found his quarters and he walked in.
The garret was simple. Other than the table and chairs, there was nothing else in it.
There was an ordinary cultivation room in the garret without any special array.
"Outer Palace, Inner Palace!" Su Mo sat cross-legged in the garret and checked on the jade pendant.
The jade pendant contained a lot of information, including the layout and the rules of the Palace. There were more rules compared to the Great Gulf Palace.
According to the records in the jade pendant, only disciples at the True God Realm could become Inner Palace Disciples.
Those disciples who were below the True God Realm were the Outer Palace Disciples.
Qin'er must be enjoying a special status in Human Palace! Su Mo thought to himself. She has the ability to get a deacon to help him do the entry test.
What does that imply?
Qin'er is not an ordinary Inner Palace Disciple. She is special.
She may be the key person to help him get acquainted with the top powers in the palace.
In order to get Human Palace to support him, Su Mo had to find out their views about the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign. Next, he would have to build a good relationship with the higher echelons in Human Palace.
After he had established a good relationship with them, he would then be able to get their support. If he did not get to this step, no one would support him.
Would they support him for his talent?
Definitely not! Tuoba Qingyun had great talent as well but Human Palace did not support him!
Tuoba Qingyun was able to get the support from Earth Palace due to his relationship with them.
As the descendant of the Palace Master, Earth Palace would definitely support him.
"Let me first get to the True God Realm and then get into the Inner Palace!" Su Mo sighed. It was stated in the rules that the Outer Palace Disciples were prohibited to enter the Inner Palace.
Thus, Su Mo had to enhance himself to the True God Realm.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble

In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went. Cruel experimentation, the creation of monstrous creatures, the tearing apart of families and mass genocide...There were few crimes the mad Mage Kings didn't commit. As the Five Saints were summoned in desperation by the races of the world, everything was already at it's darkest hour. When the fighting was over, when the Mage Kings were gone and the Five Saints had returned to their planet of origin, a World Council was erected to keep the the delicate balance from falling apart. Many eras pass. Lyle Greyborne. Current heir to the powerful Greyborne family, the only son of Adarian and Alyssa Greyborne. With the maroon hair of his Greyborne ancestory and the exceedingly rare golden eyes of his mother's Bathory clan, Lyle's talents can only be described as terrifying. These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669
