“Follow me!” Wei Tian Supreme Being said. He led Su Mo out of the palace.

Thousands gathered outside. When they saw Su Mo behind Wei Tian Supreme Being, they were shocked. So he was the one behind this!

In an instant, many got angry. Su Mo was simply abominable to have spoiled their Purple Spirit like that.

“That’s enough. Dissemble!” Wei Tian Supreme Being came to the gates and waved at the surrounding crowd.

The crowd heeded him and was prepared to leave.

Just then, a young man in purple loudly accused Su Mo, “Su Mo, do you know what you just did?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Su Mo said, his brow furrowed. He knew that it was wrong for him to devour the Purple Spirit, but the amount he had taken was less than one thousandth of the Purple Spirit available on the Chaotic Ancient Mountain. Was it worth it for the man to get so worked up?

The man looked familiar too. Su Mo could have sworn he had seen him in the Thousand Selection Fight, but he did not know his name.

“Who gave you the right to wantonly spoil our Purple Spirit?” the young man in purple pressed on, enraged.

“How is it spoiled?” Su Mo retorted coldly. If the other party said that he was not allowed to devour, or that the Chaotic Tribe had asked him to compensate, he would not complain. But to say that he spoiled the Purple Spirit just by devouring it?

“You are not from our Court or from our Tribe. How is that not spoiling?” the young man in purple said angrily. He was mad because the Purple Spirit was a Spiritual Fog produced by the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit. It was extremely limited.

There seemed to be a lot of those right now, but if the Supreme Being Elders sought a breakthrough, or others at Seventh Grade and above were trying to push through as well, they would consume a large amount of Purple Spirit.

One could say that the amount of Purple Spirit supplied for the people on the Ancient Chaotic Mountain was just right.

That was why the young man in purple was so angry. He would be pushing through to Eighth Grade soon, and by then he would need the Purple Spirit.

Su Mo sighed when he heard the man’s words. Indeed, he was not from the Chaotic Holy Court. It was perfectly reasonable for the man to be so mad.

“Heng Chen, Su Mo’s taking up the Chaotic Orthodox Practice. He’s considered one of us. It’s best if you drop it!” Wei Tian Supreme Being waved. The main responsibility for this matter rested with him. He had been careless.

“Elder Wei Tian, I let it get to my head. Please pardon me!” Heng Chen, the young man in purple responded to Wei Tian Supreme Being with his fists balled together. Since their leader had spoken, he would not speak further, in case he offended the man.

“Right!” Elder Wei Tian nodded and then signaled Su Mo to leave with him through the mountainside.

The crowd looked undecided as they watched the two leave. Su Mo’s presence there had already stirred up some sensitivity, and yet Elder Wei Tian allowed him to stay. Why?

The average disciple could not begin to comprehend the thoughts of the higher echelons within the Chaotic Tribe, so they could only guess.

Wei Tian Supreme Being brought Su Mo to the mountainside. He found a small, deserted palace for Su Mo to be used as a temporary shelter.

“Sir, do you want to have this back?” Su Mo took out the badge previously given to him by Wei Tian Supreme Being.

Since he was not allowed to devour the Purple Spirit, he assumed he was not allowed to venture into other parts of the Ancient Chaotic Mountain either.

“Keep it for now. You can use it to get whatever resources you need!” Wei Tian Supreme Being shook his head and said. Other than the Purple Spirit, Su Mo was free to use the other resources the Tribe could provide.

He would have to consult the Chaotic Lord about the Purple Spirit, and whether they could spare some for Su Mo.

“Thank you, sir!” Su Mo thanked him with his fists balled together. The act itself was considered the greatest favor.

“There’s a training room too, but you cannot devour Purple Spirit. So, please stay here for now!” Wei Tian Supreme Being sighed and left.

Su Mo watched him go, then he found the training room within the hidden chamber and began his training.

He intended to try using his Devouring Primordial Spirit to devour the Purple Spirit in the air above, but this was no difference to disrespecting the Chaotic Tribe, so he dropped the idea.

He could only train on his own. He had devoured some Purple Spirit earlier and had not finished refining them.

...

Wei Tian Supreme Being returned to the quaint courtyard on the peak.

The Chaotic Lord was not alone. Several Supreme Beings were there too.

Su Mo’s presence in the Chaotic Ancient Mountain was a big deal, so the Elders who were in the vicinity and who were available had come to gather.

“My lord, news of Su Mo’s presence here would surely spread to Di Yihun!”

“Yes, I worry that Di Yihun, along with the Ancient Demon State, the Nether God Court, and the Immortal Holy Court will send their people here for him!”

“We have to be on guard!”

The group of Supreme Being Elders talked amongst themselves. As the Chaotic Holy Court, they were the most powerful ones next to Sky Pool, but they were surely no match for the three Courts.

At the stone table, the Chaotic Lord, donned in gray, looked on solemnly.

“Everyone, since I have decided to help Su Mo, all of this is inevitable!” the Chaotic Lord looked around and continued, “But, please rest assured. The three Courts know what’s at stake. As of now, the space of the Deity Plane is gradually becoming weaker. If war breaks out, the entire Place might collapse. The three Courts know this very well!”

Everyone heard and nodded in secret. The statement was true, but they wondered if the three Courts would neglect the overall situation.

“My lord, Di Yihun has three Courts helping him. His power will grow quickly. Su Mo does not have much time left!” Wei Tian Supreme Being said. The Ancient Demon State, the Nether God Court, and the Immortal Holy Court were not weaker than them. If they all helped Di Yihun, his power would surely increase much faster.

“What’s your plan?” the Chaotic Lord asked.

“Should we let Su Mo devour some of the Purple Spirit?” Wei Tian Supreme Being asked tentatively.

“Definitely not!”

“The Purple Spirit is so rare, it’s not enough even for ourselves, how can we give it to Su Mo?”

“I disagree!”

Once Wei Tian Supreme Being proposed it, several Elders raised their objections.

The Purple Spirit was just too precious to them. How could they spare some for Su Mo?

Of course, they knew that if Su Mo consumed a large amount of Purple Spirit, his training would speed up quickly. It would be fine if he succeeded in the end, but if he died in the process, the Purple Spirit would be wasted.

The Chaotic Lord stayed silent. He intended to give Su Mo lots of Purple Spirit, but he knew all the Elders would oppose it.

“How’s this? Let Su Mo devour ten percent of the Purple Spirit on the Chaotic Ancient Mountain!” the Chaotic Lord said after a moment of silence.

“What?”

“Ten percent? That’s too much!”

“My lord, please reconsider. The Purple Spirit is the foothold of our Chaotic Holy Court!”

Several Elders raised their objections. Giving Su Mo ten percent of the Purple Spirit was simply too risky.

“Everyone, no pain, no gain!” the Chaotic Lord’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, “Su Mo carries the greatest hope of becoming one with top powers, and one that can transcend the era. We can live for an eternity, but we still rely on Su Mo. It’s only a bit of Purple Spirit. After a thousand years, the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit can recuperate the costs!”

“T-This...!” The group hesitated. They understood what the Chaotic Lord meant, but they still did not see much hope.

First, they could not be sure if Su Mo would indeed become one of the top powers. Next, even if he could, they could not be sure if he could transcend the era. Most importantly, Su Mo could be defeated by Di Yihun before he even achieved the ranks of the Supreme Beings.

“That’s decided.. I’ll lay out an array later, so that he can only devour ten percent of the Purple Spirit,” the Chaotic Lord did not wait for the others to agree as he finalized the matter on his own.
