The middle-aged puppet took Su Mo to the depths of the Firmament Palace.
The two of them flew past palace after palace, building after building, and mountain after mountain. Not long after, the two of them landed in front of a simple and unadorned palace.
Su Mo looked up and saw four quaint words "Thick Earth Divine Hall" above the palace gate.
These four characters were written in a majestic manner, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.
"Senior, where are we?" Su Mo was puzzled. He did not know why the middle-aged puppet had brought him here.
"This is the Earth Palace!"
The middle-aged puppet smiled and said, "You don't have to call me senior. I'm the guardian puppet of the Brightgold Palace. You can call me Gold One!"
"Now, I'll take you to see someone. As long as you can get his approval, you'll be my master from now on!"
Gold One stopped smiling and said with a serious face.
"See someone?" Su Mo was puzzled. "There are other people in the Firmament Palace?"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps rang out from the Thick Earth Divine Hall up ahead.
A tall and strong figure walked out of the palace. Su Mo's eyes narrowed when he saw this figure.
The person who walked out was actually a Stone Golem. This Stone Golem was three meters tall, and its tall and straight body was completely made of a kind of greyish-white rock. It gave off a powerful feeling.
The stone man walked with muffled sounds, and the ground shook slightly.
The stone man had a rough face. He glanced at Su Mo and asked the middle-aged puppet, "Gold One, has another official disciple become a disciple this year?"
Gold One smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, he has gathered the five elements. I'm taking him to see the Earth Palace Master!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the stone puppet was startled. Then, a ray of light shot out from its stone eyes, instantly piercing through the space in front of it. A pitch-black spatial crack instantly appeared, and a cold, destructive, and empty aura spread out from the spatial crack.
Hiss!
Su Mo sucked in a breath of cold air, his face full of shock.
"How could a gaze pierce through space? How is this possible?" Just how powerful was this Stone Golem?
Piercing through space was different from piercing through the air. Piercing through the air was something any martial artist could do. However, space was the void. In other words, it was the barrier of this world. Piercing through the void was equivalent to breaking through the barrier of this world.
Su Mo had not expected the Stone Puppet to be so powerful. Rumor had it that only Martial King Realm experts had the ability to break through space. This meant that the Stone Puppet was at least at the Martial King Realm.
"Gold One, are you serious?"
The stone puppet stared at Su Mo and asked in a trembling voice.
Gold One nodded, "Stone One, there's no such thing as a lie!"
Hu!
The stone puppet took a deep breath. Of course, he knew that since Gold One had said so, he wouldn't be lying. However, he really couldn't believe it.
It had been hundreds of thousands of years, and they had once thought that such a person would never appear. They never expected that he would suddenly appear now.
"Follow me!"
After a while, the stone puppet turned around and walked into the depths of the palace. Gold One followed.
Su Mo thought for a while and then hurriedly walked into the palace. There should be no danger here anyway.
The palace was very large and empty. There was a deep passage at the edge. Su Mo followed the two puppets and walked in the deep passage.
After walking for about 30 minutes, a stone room appeared at the end of the passage.
The stone puppet opened the stone door and the three of them walked in.
Su Mo walked into the stone chamber and looked around. He was instantly surprised.
This was a huge stone room with a radius of thousands of meters. The floor of the stone room was engraved with countless complicated formation patterns, forming a huge formation. Rays of white light shuttled through the formation like electric snakes.
In the air above the formation, there was a light blue crystal ball with a diameter of over two meters. Streaks of white lightning snakes were constantly gathering towards the crystal ball.
Inside the crystal ball, there was a grey figure sitting cross-legged.
This gray figure was very illusory. Su Mo couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell that he was very old and had a head full of white hair.
At this moment, this illusory white-haired elder sat quietly in the crystal ball with his eyes closed. There was no aura of life.
Stone One looked at the light blue crystal ball in the air with respect. Then, he moved his hands and turned them into phantoms. He formed a complicated seal and inserted it into the light blue crystal ball.
After a while, a vast and heavy aura slowly rose from the crystal ball, as if a powerful being was slowly awakening.
After a while, all the aura quickly disappeared. The illusory figure of the white-haired elder in the crystal ball became slightly more solid.
"Stone One greets the Palace Master!"
"Gold One greets the Earth Palace Master!"
Gold One and Stone One's two puppets immediately bowed to the elder in the light blue crystal ball.
"Stone One, Gold One, how many years has it been?"
An old voice came from the crystal ball, full of vicissitudes.
"Palace Master, it has been 6,300 years since you last awakened!"
Stone One replied respectfully.
Su Mo was shocked. 6,300 years. How long had this elder lived?
After hearing Stone One's words, the elder was silent for a while and said faintly, "What's the matter?"
"Earth Palace Master, the person we've been waiting for has finally appeared!"
Gold One said in a trembling voice.
As soon as Gold One's voice fell, the white-haired elder in the crystal ball opened his eyes. In an instant, heaven and earth were overturned and the mountains and rivers were reversed.
The white-haired elder's gaze fell on Su Mo. Su Mo felt his mind shake, as if everything around him had disappeared and only the white-haired elder was left in front of him.
At this moment, Gold One's voice continued, "His name is Su Mo. Although his talent is average, his gold and fire properties have reached Lv 8, and his wood, water, and earth properties have reached Lv 7. He barely meets the standard!"
"Oh!"
The white-haired elder's eyes lit up. Then, his body moved and he suddenly floated out of the crystal ball.
Immediately, the white-haired elder waved his arm and an illusory scene appeared in front of him.
In the illusory scene was the scene of Su Mo being tested in the testing square. Every test result of Su Mo could be seen in the illusory scene.
After a while, the illusory scene dissipated and the white-haired elder's gaze fell on Su Mo again.
"Junior Su Mo greets the elder!" Su Mo did not dare to slight the elder and bowed to him.
"Hmm!"
The white-haired elder nodded slightly and looked straight into Su Mo's eyes.
