“Thank you for your teachings!” Su Mo paid gratitude to the white-haired elder.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m the master of the Earth Palace. On the Palace Master’s will, I’ve been waiting for the descendant, and will help you as much as I can in the future,” said the white-haired elder as he smiled.
“Elder, if you’ve been waiting for hundreds of thousand years, then you’re…?”
Su Mo sized up the elusive body of the elder and stopped talking.
Su Mo did not believe that one can live for hundreds of thousands of years. The elusive body indicated that the elder might not be a living man.
The white-haired elder knew Su Mo’s confusion. He forced a smile and said, “I’ve been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. During the war in the last years of the ancient times, neither the Palace Master nor the other masters survived! Our Firmament Palace was also demolished!”
The eyes of the white-haired elder were filled with memories, and he looked bitter.
Su Mo was shocked. “The Firmament Palace was so strong. Who was able to destroy it?”
Moreover, the ‘Palace Master’ he mentioned was apparently the strongest and the last Palace Master, the Five Elements Supreme Emperor!
The Five Elements Supreme Emperor was invincible in this world. Who could kill him?
The white-haired elder continued, “Now, I’m just the remnant of my will that is being kept by this spirit-saving array. Which can’t last much longer!”
“Fortunately, I’ve met someone fit for the Palace Master’s Legacy in the last of my days!”
The elder said and looked at Su Mo with pleasant eyes.
If he hadn’t met Su Mo within the next century, he would find one with excellent talent that could inherit the other Legacy rather than the Five Elements Supreme Emperor’s Legacy.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo was moved and asked, “Elder, do you mean that my talent is the most fit for the Legacy of the Five Elements Supreme Emperor?”
“Correct!” The elder nodded and said, “The descendant he wanted must have high talent in the five-element properties, and yours are mostly Lv 7 and Lv 8. This barely meets the Emperor’s request!”
Su Mo heard this and nodded. He now realized that the Five Elements Supreme Emperor had been looking for a descendant through the opening of Firmament Palace!
However, Su Mo was somehow confused. In the hundreds of thousands of years, countless talents had been in Firmament Palace. Even if none of them had met the standard of each property, there must have been some people who had greater comprehensive talent than his.
For example, some talents with high-level Heaven Class Martial Soul, or someone with Spirit Build.
Su Mo then asked, “Elder, in all these years, there must have been many men who had better talents than mine, right? Although they were unable to inherit the orthodoxy of the Five Elements Supreme Emperor, they were qualified to be the descendant of Firmament Palace. Why didn’t you pick them?”
When hearing this, the white-haired elder sighed softly and said, “Indeed, many super talents had been here and some even had Rank 9 Heaven Class Martial Soul. But they just couldn’t inherit the orthodoxy of our Palace Master, not to mention managing the destiny of the Firmament and Continent. So they could only be the nine palaces’ disciple and inherit the other orthodoxies. They couldn’t be the Holy Son.”
Su Mo was surprised. It seemed like that the Five Elements Supreme Emperor’s orthodoxy must be earth shockingly mighty and way beyond the other Legacies.
“It’s enough. Su Mo, since you’re willing to be the Holy Son of our Firmament Palace, you will formally acknowledge our Palace Master as your master and then inherit the Legacy!” said the white-haired elder as he smiled.
Su Mo nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and then did a ceremony to his master, the Five Elements Supreme Emperor.
“Good!” The white-haired elder nodded satisfyingly, and, in a deep voice, he said, “From now on, you, Su Mo, are the Holy Son, and the future Palace Master of the Firmament Palace.”
Your Excellence, Holy Son!”
“Your Excellence, Holy Son!”
Gold One and Stone One saluted Su Mo.
“Two elders, please get up. Please get up!” Su Mo dared not to be self-important. Although Gold One and Stone One were puppets, their spiritual wisdom was as strong as ordinary people and their strength was incredibly potent.
“Su Mo, now I’ll grant you the martial arts technique our Palace Master had spent his life creating. If our Palace Master had created this earlier and practiced it more, he wouldn’t have been killed!”
The white-haired elder looked grave.
“Thank you so much!” Su Mo took a deep breath and saluted the elder again.
Suddenly, he flashed in front of Su Mo and pointed between Su Mo’s eyebrows with his elusive finger.
Su Mo felt a quake inside his body and then found himself in a vast, star-studded sky.
Then words appeared in front of him as if they had intelligence.
This was a cultivation skill named Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill.
“Collecting the Qi of Five Elements from heaven and earth to refine the Chaotic Force. Tracing to the source of the universe and creating the world. The simplest and the easiest, also the most abstract and ingenious…”
Su Mo hurriedly started to read them. Because of his excellent memory, he memorized the text quickly.
There was no grade for this cultivation skill, yet it was extremely abstract and profound. Su Mo was deeply shocked.
Moments later, all the words vanished, and a tall and sturdy figure came into view.
Su Mo was shocked upon seeing the elusive figure because it was the Five Elements Supreme Emperor!
However, it was just an fake image of him sitting cross-legged and cultivating the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill.
A brilliant light shone on him, and air streams of five different colors were drawn to him. The Five Elements were integrated into an intimidating grey-white gas.
The gas contained an aura of vastness, limitlessness, primitiveness, destruction, and so on. It was way beyond description.
Time passed by slowly as the Five Elements Supreme Emperor kept cultivating while demonstrating every way to use the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill and every special cultivating method.
Su Mo watched the emperor as he indulged in his cultivation.
Moments later, the emperor’s figure suddenly shattered and turned into dots of fluorescence and vanished.
The starry sky disappeared as well and Su Mo’s view changed back to the hall.
Su Mo looked dumbstruck. He had been standing for an hour in order to comprehend the Legacy.
“Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill. It’s too overpowered!”
Shock remained in his eyes. The might of the skill was beyond any grade, and it deserved to be called the mightiest skill in the universe.
