Third Mountain, Dragon Tribe.
In the secret chamber of the palace, Su Mo was like an old monk that was deep in cultivation.
He had given up on comprehending the Ultimacy and focused on refining his cultivation rank so that he could break through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm.
The Rank 2 Empty God Realm was known as the Rebirth Rank. When one reached this rank, he would be completely reborn. He would shed his mortal body and forge a Divine Body.
However, it was extremely difficult to reach the Rank 2 Empty God Realm. Not only did he need talent and opportunities, he also needed boundless Spiritual Qi.
It was easy to reach the Rank 2 Empty God Realm. He had to use the Blood Qi, Sacred Elixir and Fighting Soul to refine his flesh, bones and everything else in his body.
This was not difficult for Su Mo. After all, breaking through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm depended on his talent and potential.
If the Blood Qi was weak, the Sacred Elixir was weak and the Fighting Soul was not strong, he would need a long time. He might not even be able to break through.
However, for Su Mo, who was a godly talent in all aspects, breaking through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm was 10 times or even 100 times easier.
Granted, this was only for ordinary Rank 1 Empty God Realm martial artists.
Su Mo still needed a lot of time to break through to the Rank 2 Empty God Realm.
Time flew by quickly. As time passed, Su Mo's Rank 1 Empty God Realm became more stable and he started to forge a Divine Body.
One year passed by in the blink of an eye.
Dong dong dong!
On this day, there was a dull knock on the door of the secret chamber.
Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. He knew that the fight for the Dawn Stone Mine was about to begin.
He ended his cultivation and stood up to open the door of the secret chamber.
A young man from the Dragon Tribe stood outside the door. His cultivation rank was not high and he was only a Martial Sage.
"Su Mo, the Tribe Leader invites you to the Imperial Dragon Hall." The young man cupped his fists towards Su Mo and said respectfully.
"All right! Please lead the way. "Su Mo nodded and followed the young man to the Imperial Dragon Hall.
The Imperial Dragon Hall was located at the front of the Dragon Tribe. It was a majestic palace that occupied a radius of more than a thousand feet.
When Su Mo walked into the hall, he was really shocked.
The hall was extremely long, with spacious golden chairs placed on both sides, filled with the experts of the Dragon Tribe.
There were many of them, no less than 200 of them. Almost all of them were Empty God Almighties.
Long Teng and Long Daotian were among them.
However, Long Teng sat at the back, while Long Daotian sat at the front.
On the left was Elder Long Xun, whom Su Mo was familiar with.
Apart from Long Xun, there were two Rank 4 Empty God Realm masters on both sides.
"Didn't they say that the Dragon Clan is weak now? There are actually so many Empty Gods? "Su Mo was shocked. It seemed that when the Dragon Tribe was at its peak, there should have been more Empty Gods.
He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a purplish-golden dragon robe sitting on the main seat.
This person was tall and burly, and there were purple-gold dragon horns on his head. His expression was solemn and extremely dignified.
He was the leader of the Dragon Tribe, Long Chao, and Long Daotian's father. He was not the leader of the Dragon Tribe.
As Su Mo walked into the hall, the hall was silent as everyone's eyes fell upon Su Mo.
Su Mo's name had long spread through the various mountains on God's Path. However, there were still many experts in the Dragon Tribe who had not seen Su Mo before.
"Is he Su Mo?"
"He doesn't look simple!"
"His aura is not bad!"
Many experts sized up Su Mo as they discussed in low voices.
Long Daotian glanced at Su Mo as a cold smile curled on his face. In his eyes, it was a joke to ask Su Mo to participate in the Dawn Stone Mine fight.
"Greetings, Tribe Leader!"
Su Mo walked to the middle of the hall and cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man in the purplish-golden dragon robe.
"Rise!"
Tribe Leader Long Chao waved his hand and carefully looked at Su Mo before saying, "Su Mo, the Dawn Stone Mine fight is about to begin. We will head to Ninth Mountain tomorrow."
"Mm!" Su Mo nodded his head solemnly.
"Your cultivation rank is not high. It will be good if you can get a good ranking. However, if you can't, don't force yourself!" Long Chao said sternly. Although the Holy Sage had asked Su Mo to participate in the fight, he didn't think that Su Mo had the qualifications to be the top ranker.
He knew that Su Mo was a godly talent and his combat strength was terrifying. However, even so, it was impossible for Su Mo to be the top ranker.
Granted, if Su Mo could enter the top 10, that wouldn't be too bad.
"I understand!" Su Mo nodded his head, his face expressionless. He didn't care if the Dragon Tribe Leader had confidence in him.
This fight was his way of repaying the Dragon Tribe for protecting him.
"Mm, take a seat!" Long Chao waved his hand and gestured for Su Mo to sit on an empty seat in the middle of the hall.
Su Mo thanked the Dragon Tribe Leader and sat down.
At that point, Long Chao scanned the crowd and said, "This time, Daotian and Su Mo will be participating in the Dawn Stone Mine fight. Do you have any objections?"
Under normal circumstances, the people in the tribe would nominate a few people to participate in the fight and the final winner would be decided based on their strength.
However, Su Mo had been appointed by the Holy Sage to participate. This was a fact that could not be questioned.
As for the others, although Long Daotian was unparalleled, Long Chao still had to ask for his opinion.
If anyone was unhappy, they could challenge Long Daotian.
"No!"
Faced with Long Chao's question, the top experts of the Dragon Tribe shook their heads.
Long Daotian was the top godly talent of the Dragon Tribe and the fifth of the Ten Great Saints on God's Path. No one had any objections!
Long Daotian smiled lightly as he stood up and cupped his fists towards Long Chao and the top experts of the Dragon Tribe. In a loud voice, he said, "Father and elders, don't worry. This time, I will fight to be the top 3. Even if I can't be the top ranker, I will definitely be able to enter the top 3."
With that, Long Daotian glanced at Su Mo, a cold sneer crossing his eyes.
"Haha, good. It is good that you are so confident!" Long Chao's face lit up as he laughed heartily.
"Su Mo, what rank are you confident of?" Long Daotian asked mockingly.
When the crowd heard Long Daotian's question, their gazes fell on Su Mo as they waited silently for his reply.
Su Mo's face was calm as he looked lightly at Long Daotian. Without answering his question, he said, "You are not confident."
"I am not confident?"
Long Daotian was taken aback by Su Mo's words before he laughed heartily, "Hahaha, what a joke. You actually dare to say that I am not confident?"
"Of course, if you were confident, you would be aiming for the top ranker. You wouldn't have said that even if you can't be the top ranker, you will definitely enter the top 3." Su Mo lightly replied.
Long Daotian's words showed that he was not confident in himself.
Being afraid before the battle had even begun, Long Daotian was only so-so. There was no way he could be the top ranker.
Hearing Su Mo's words, many members of the Dragon Tribe, including Tribe Leader Long Chao, couldn't help but frown.
Su Mo's words did make sense. Long Daotian's words sounded full of confidence. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was obvious that he wasn't confident enough.
"I can't be bothered to argue with you!"
Long Daotian coldly scoffed before he waved his sleeve and sat down again. He coldly laughed, "Su Mo, I would like to see what ranking you can get. If you can't even enter the top 10, not only will you embarrass yourself, you will also embarrass the Holy Sage! "
"You don't have to worry about that!" Su Mo lightly shook his head. He had been appointed by the Holy Sage to participate in the contest. If he was defeated, it would definitely embarrass the Holy Sage.
However, would he be defeated?
Su Mo was confident that even if he was up against the Ancient Demon Tuo Si or the legendary Ancient God Tu Ying, he wouldn't lose.
"Alright, you don't have to argue with each other anymore!"
Long Chao coldly waved his hand and said, "All words are useless. When the time comes, we will speak with our strength. Everyone, leave! Tomorrow morning, we will gather here and head to the Ninth Mountain. "
"Yes!" The crowd responded before they left the hall.
Su Mo also stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Su Mo, you will see the difference between us when the time comes."
Long Daotian's body strode past Su Mo as he coldly laughed.
