"Yes, I’ll go tell them right away."
Chu Tianxiong held the Communication Stone and rose into the air. He said to Ouyang Teng, "Ouyang Sect Leader, Elder Su has a message for you."
"Elder Su?"
Ouyang Teng’s face was full of astonishment.
Chu Tianxiong nodded. "That’s right. Elder Su told me to tell you that when your Grand Elder went to hunt him down, he choked to death in a cesspool. Are you going to go and apologize, or should Elder Su pay you a personal visit?"
"Bullshit!"
Ouyang Teng roared furiously, "Chu Tianxiong, don’t you dare try to deceive me with such lies! I wasn’t born yesterday!"
Their Grand Elder, Han Zong, was at the Martial Monarch Perfection Realm. How could he possibly choke to death in a cesspool?
’It’s utter nonsense.’
Chu Tianxiong shook his head. "I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try contacting Elder Han?"
"There’s no need."
An old man walked over and said, "Elder Li contacted me just half an hour ago. He said he discovered an unparalleled Exotic Treasure in Medicine King Valley and was preparing to bring it back as an offering to the Sect. He also mentioned he would be bringing back Su Mo’s head."
"Chu Tianxiong, did you hear that loud and clear?"
Ouyang Teng asked with a cold smile.
Chu Tianxiong didn’t answer him. Instead, he spoke to the Communication Stone, "Elder Su, did you hear that conversation?"
"Yes, I heard it."
Su Mo said flatly, "Help me tell him one more thing. Say that I will personally visit the Celestial Moon Sect and slaughter every last one of them. Not even the Celestial King himself can save him."
After saying his piece, Su Mo disconnected the Communication Stone.
After relaying Su Mo’s words to Ouyang Teng, Chu Tianxiong advised, "Ouyang Sect Leader, I have delivered Elder Su’s message. You’d best watch yourselves."
"Heh, trying to use some brat to fool me? Do you take me for an idiot?"
Ouyang Teng sneered, then turned to the old man and asked, "Elder Li, have you brought the Array Masters I asked you to invite?"
"They have been invited. They’ll be here any moment."
Elder Li replied.
Before long, three Array Masters appeared before the gates of the Beast Taming Sect. The one in the lead was an old man dressed in black.
The black-robed old man’s name was Elder Gao.
Ouyang Teng’s eyes lit up. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Welcome, Elder Gao! I apologize for not coming out to greet you sooner. Please forgive me."
Elder Gao waved his hand. "Ouyang Sect Leader, no need for such pleasantries. This old man came entirely for the sake of the reward. As long as the Ouyang Sect Leader doesn’t go back on his word after I break the array, we’re good."
"But of course!"
Ouyang Teng said with a smile, "Besides the thirty million Spirit Stones that Elder Li promised you, I have also specially prepared two Ancient Array Manuals as a gift for you, Elder Gao."
"Ancient Array Manuals?"
Elder Gao’s face was filled with delighted surprise.
For Array Masters, what they loved most were all kinds of Ancient Array Manuals, which could advance their cultivation in the field of arrays.
’Money, on the other hand, was not nearly as important.’
A wide smile spread across Elder Gao’s face. "Many thanks for your consideration, Ouyang Sect Leader. This old man guarantees he will do everything in his power to break the array and allow you to breach the Beast Taming Sect in the shortest possible time."
"Then we’ll be counting on you, Elder Gao!"
Ouyang Teng pointed at the Beast Taming Sect’s Mountain Protection Array and said, "This array was set up by the Beast Taming Sect’s founding ancestor, Qu Luo. It is extremely profound. We’ve attacked it several times in a row but have been unable to break through."
"This array is indeed profound, but it has fallen into disrepair over the years and has long since lost its former power. Ouyang Sect Leader, rest assured. Within two days, this old man guarantees he will help you destroy it."
Elder Gao spoke with complete confidence. Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the two people behind him and began to break the array.
Ouyang Teng sat to the side to wait.
「Medicine King Valley.」
Master Mo suggested, "Elder Su, the Celestial Moon Sect’s strength is not to be underestimated. We are willing to accompany you to annihilate them."
"No need. I can annihilate them by myself."
Su Mo refused. He then called over the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and headed for the Beast Taming Sect alone, leaving everyone else standing there, stunned and bewildered.
Master Mo said worriedly, "Do you guys think... something bad will happen to Elder Su?"
"Nothing will happen to him!"
Master Jia said.
Daoist Xuanqing said confidently, "Elder Su is unfathomably deep. Now that he has passed his Celestial Tribulation, his strength has reached a whole new level. Dealing with the Celestial Moon Sect will be more than enough."
"In that case, we should hurry back to Qingyang City, prepare a banquet, and await Elder Su’s triumphant return," the Medicine King Valley’s Valley Master suggested.
Master Mo agreed. "Yes, we should send out invitations far and wide, asking people from all Eighteen Kingdoms to come and celebrate for Elder Su. We also need to prepare more Treasures of Heaven and Earth to show our respect to Elder Su."
"Let’s do as you say."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said, "We’ll invite everyone we can from the Eighteen Kingdoms and throw a grand celebration for Elder Su to make him happy."
...
On the way, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow asked, "Elder, after this Breakthrough, what level has your strength reached?"
"Well... I don’t know either."
Su Mo answered awkwardly.
He had originally wanted to test his true strength with the Celestial Tribulation, but who would have thought it would be so weak? He’d blasted right through it.
Therefore, he had no idea how strong he was now.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow was speechless.
’You don’t know how strong you are?’
’Who are you trying to fool?’
’If you don’t want to say, then just don’t.’
Su Mo said, "Although I don’t know how strong I am right now, I should be able to get even stronger. Wait a moment, I’m going into seclusion for a bit."
With that, Su Mo closed his eyes and entered his own mind.
Before him was an incomparably massive Heaven-Reaching Pillar.
It was called the Nine Dragon Celestial Pillar.
Just like before, nine Golden Dragons were coiled around the Nine Dragon Celestial Pillar, and each dragon’s mouth held a single Long Yuan.
"The second level of the True Dragon Supreme Technique."
It was just as Su Mo had thought. The Long Yuan that he couldn’t retrieve before now fell into his hand with a simple wave.
GULP!
Su Mo swallowed the Long Yuan, and a vast amount of information instantly flooded his mind.
Mid Stage Warrior, Late Stage Warrior, Warrior Perfection...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As Su Mo activated the second level of the Nine Dragon Supreme Technique, his realm reached Warrior Great Perfection in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, Su Mo repeated the process and obtained the other eight cultivation techniques.
"True Dragon Undying Technique."
"True Dragon Divinity Refining Technique."
"True Dragon Supreme Swordsmanship."
"True Dragon Supreme Fist Skill."
"..."
Su Mo cultivated so intently that he forgot to eat or sleep, which scared the Cyan Cloud Sparrow half to death.
Because every time Su Mo’s realm advanced, he would release an extremely terrifying pressure.
It felt as if it were carrying a god or a demon.
His every breath contained the rules of heaven and earth.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow wanted to wake Su Mo and ask him to stop his secluded cultivation for a while, but it didn’t dare, fearing it would be punished by him.
But soon, it couldn’t hold on any longer.
"True Dragon Undying Technique!"
The moment Su Mo activated the True Dragon Undying Technique, a force like a mountain crushed down on the Cyan Cloud Sparrow.
"MAMA..."
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow let out a mournful cry and fell straight from the sky, smashing a large crater into the ground.
Then, its eyes rolled back, and it fainted dead away.
