Chapter 1946: The Challenges Faced

Inside the palace, Su Mo sat with his entire body filled with a thick layer of Spiritual Qi. Dense aura surrounded him like large waves of an ocean.

However, there was an array around the palace and his aura would not reach the outside world.

After a few moments, all the Spiritual Qi disappeared and Su Mo slowly opened his eyes from his cultivation.

“Peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm!”

Su Mo let out a long deep sigh. It was an easy task for his cultivation rank to reach the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm.

After all, although he needed a lot of Spiritual Qi, he had a large pool of resources and devouring them in one shot was a fast process.

However, it would be difficult for him to break through to become a sage. Once his cultivation rank reached the sage realm, it wasn’t an easy task to raise it.

He needed advice, advice from Senior Bai Tiannan. After all, the senior had said that he was a key disciple to be nurtured and he could seek him for advice anytime he wanted.

After a long sigh, Su Mo rose and walked out of the palace.

For him, his cultivation rank was of utmost importance now.

He would let Leng Xie remain in the Devouring Fighting Soul for now. That was the best place to lock him up as the man would definitely not be able to escape.

Su Mo arrived before Bai Tiannan’s palace. Bai Tiannan had said that he would stay in Myriad World Mountain for long and he probably wouldn’t have left.

“Senior Bai!” Su Mo cupped his fists and shouted into the palace.

However, the True Demons Hunting Order was hovering around Su Mo and wherever he went there was a flood of blood red light. There was no need for him to call out at all.

Creak!

The large doors of the palace slowly opened as Bai Tiannan sat in the palace wearing a white robe.

“Enter!” Bai Tiannan lightly called out.

Su Mo nodded his head slightly before he walked into the palace and arrived in front of Bai Tiannan.

“Senior Bai, I have a few questions I need your help with!” Su Mo cupped his fists respectfully.

“Mm, please speak!” Bai Tiannan nodded.

“My current cultivation rank has reached the peak of the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm. How am I going to break through to become a Martial Sage?” Su Mo asked.

“If you want to reach the sage realm, there are 2 important points you need to take note of. Firstly, you must comprehend an Ultimacy to the Rank 5 Stage before you create an Ultimacy Crystal. Secondly, merge the Ultimacy Crystal with a Divine Elixir to form a Sacred Elixir!” Bai Tiannan explained.

“An Ultimacy Crystal?” A deep expression crossed Su Mo’s eyes upon hearing the explanation. He did not understand much about the Martial Sage Realm and this was the first time hearing all the terms.

Even when he possessed Elder Zhen Yue, he did not sense any Ultimacy Crystal!

“That’s right. Forming the Ultimacy Crystal and merging it into a Sacred Elixir is the first step. Once you have accomplished this, you will be a Sage-to-be. Only when the Sacred Elixir breaks through the bottleneck will you become a real Martial Sage!” Bai Tiannan confirmed.

“Senior Bai, how do I create an Ultimacy Crystal?” Su Mo asked.

“This isn’t hard. Firstly, you must raise your comprehension of an Ultimacy to the 5th rank. After that, refine the Ultimacy. This process is rather slow and you need to find your way through it to control it!” Bai Tiannan patiently answered.

“I see!” Su Mo nodded his head. A few sentences from the senior allowed him to understand the wonders of the Martial Sage Realm.

After a long moment of silence, Su Mo asked again, “Senior Bai, there are many kinds of Ultimacies. The current Ultimacy that I comprehended is compatible with my body but it is only a supporting Ultimacy that is not able to increase my fighting strength. Should I comprehend other Ultimacies?”

“That is possible. Comprehending Ultimacies decides your future. However comprehending an Ultimacy requires a long time. You should wait until you break through to the Martial Sage Realm before you decide on the other Ultimacies!” Bai Tiannan said.

“Mm!”

Su Mo nodded before asking, “Senior Bai, according to the ranking on the Archean Boulevard Board, Space Ultimacy is Honorable while Time Ultimacy is King, why is it that we rarely see martial artists comprehending these 2 Ultimacies?”

Su Mo had travelled through many galaxies already and had seen many Martial Sages and even Empty Gods. However, Xu Wushen was the only one who comprehended the Space Ultimacy.

“Hehe!”

Bai Tiannan immediately laughed as he shook his head, “Although these 2 Ultimacies are strong, the difficulty of comprehending it is immense. Entering it is hard and comprehending it to the ranks are even harder. Compared to these mysterious and strong Ultimacies, other basic Ultimacies are much simpler. Few people would spend a large amount of time to comprehend an Ultimacy not suited for themselves.”

“That’s true!” Su Mo agreed. Any martial artist above the Martial Sage Rank were geniuses.

For instance, Si Kongdan had a Fire Spiritual Body and his cultivation way was greatly suited to fire based skills. He would definitely comprehend a Fire Ultimacy.

If he comprehended the Space Ultimacy or Time Ultimacy, it would be a foolish move.

Not only would this use a large amount of time, it would also limit the growth of a martial artist.

“Ultimacy must be chosen to suit yourself. You have already comprehended an Ultimacy. Once you become a Martial Sage, you can comprehend a simpler Ultimacy.” Bai Tiannan warned.

“Thank you senior, for your guidance!” Su Mo nodded his head. However, his heart had shifted to another place. He would either not comprehend any Ultimacies, or comprehend a strong Ultimacy.

Space Ultimacy was the first and foremost on his list, but any strong Ultimacy ranked highly on the Archean Boulevard was also possible.

However, beside understanding the Immortal Ultimacy on the surface, Su Mo had no knowledge of other Ultimacies.

If he wanted to comprehend the Space Ultimacy, he could seek Xu Wushen’s help. Xu Wushen had comprehended the Space Ultimacy to a deep level and a little guidance from him could help Su Mo immensely.

“Senior Bai, how can I merge the Ultimacy Crystal with a Divine Elixir?”

With that, Su Mo continued to ask Bai Tiannan for advice on how to become a Martial Sage.

Bai Tiannan did not hide anything and carefully explained the process as well as the various points to take note of.

Half an hour later, Su Mo walked out of Bai Tiannan’s palace and returned to his living quarters.

He had gained new insight into how to become a Martial Sage from the senior’s guidance.

As he sat down cross-legged in the palace, Su Mo’s face suddenly hardened. He had discovered a very large problem for himself.

That was because he could create a single Ultimacy Crystal, but he had 5 Divine Elixirs in him.

This meant that he had to merge the 5 Divine Elixirs into one before he could advance to a Martial Sage.

“Comprehending an Ultimacy, creating an Ultimacy Crystal, merging the Divine Elixirs and breaking through the curse!” Su Mo muttered to himself. He had to face these difficulties to become a Martial Sage.

The first 2 problems were rather simple and time was not a concern for him. However, the last 2 problems were relatively harder for him.

Nonetheless, accomplishments were up to the person. There were still 3 years before the True Demon Hunting Order would disappear. He could not waste this time and had to break through to the Martial Sage Realm.

A few moments later, Su Mo released the Devouring Fighting Soul and slowly activated the devouring power slightly as he began to comprehend the Devouring Ultimacy.
