“You want to leave?” Bai Yin’er asked in surprise . To her, this was no different from courting death .

“Of course . I can’t be staying here forever . I have to find a way to get out no matter how difficult it may be!” Su Mo nodded . He had too many things he had yet to accomplish in the outside world, so how could he continue to live here!

“The Mist Mountains are fraught with dangers . I’ve never heard of anyone achieving this feat!” Bai Yin’er warned him . Although she had been angered by his indifference earlier, she did not want him to die either .

Furthermore, Su Mo was now speaking more warmly to her and she soon forgot her resentment toward him .

“I’m confident that I’ll be able to do it . Besides, I can’t back away from doing something just because it is dangerous!” Su Mo sighed .

“I can’t back away from doing something just because it is dangerous!”

Bai Yin’er repeated those words to herself . His remark had touched her deeply .

She glanced at his calm face and sighed to herself . No wonder why this man was so extraordinary! His intellect was higher than the average person .

“Well, I wish you luck!” Bai Yin’er sighed, then shrunk back behind the curtain of her carriage .

Su Mo did not reply and continued to quietly travel alongside the carriage .

The procession moved quietly and passed by many cities before it arrived at a massive city around noontime .

This massive city was the Imperial City of Divine Martial Country—Divine Martial City .

Although it was nothing compared to the magnificent cities in the outside world, it was many times larger than Divine Martial City .

Since the procession had Divine Guards to clear a path for them, they did not need to undergo checks and smoothly entered the city .

Then, the procession followed the wide streets of the Imperial City all the way to the imperial palace .

The imperial palace was unexpectedly magnificent . Its majestic palace walls were built up to over 90 meters tall and stretched for dozens of miles . It was built like a city within a city .

The palace was heavily guarded by hundreds of Divine Guards who stood guard in front of the imperial palace .

Su Mo noticed that one of their commanders had a cultivation of Lv 9 Martial King Realm and this left him reeling in surprise . He decided that he would have to proceed with caution once he entered the palace .

Thereafter, the entire procession was subjected to checks by the Divine Guard and everyone had to be registered before entering the palace . The Divine Guards that had led the procession here then left to return to their stations .

A young Divine Guard led them into the palace and after they passed by several streets, they finally stopped in front of a palace named Crystal Jade Palace .

Crystal Jade palace resembled a small-scale mansion and was also under heavy guard . Small palaces could be seen inside this palace .

“All of you from Great Martial City will live here at Crystal Jade Palace . The concubine selection process will begin in ten days . During this time, none of you will be permitted to leave Crystal Jade Palace . If anyone is found to be breaking this law, he will be killed without exception!” said the young Divine Guard . Then, after assigning all of them to a palace, he strode out of Crystal Jade Palace .

Su Mo found himself a spacious small palace and settled down .

Bai Yin’er, himself and two other maids had been assigned to this palace .

As Bai Yin’er’s personal guard, he would have to protect her at all times . Naturally, he would be assigned to the same palace as her .

“Su Mo, feel free to make yourself at home! I’m going in to rest!” Bai Yin’er said gloomily . She found herself a room in the palace and entered it .

There were many rooms in the palace, so Su Mo soon selected a room and started to formulate a plan .

Since there were still ten days to the concubine selection process, he should make full use of those ten days .

As the imperial government of Divine Martial Country, he guessed that there would be an organization that would solely focus on crafting weapons . The Blood-striped Seed was a craftsmanship material, so it would definitely be found in such organizations .

He would first need to determine the exact location of such an organization, then find a way to search for the Blood-striped Seed .

He closed his eyes and sent his spiritual consciousness out to sweep the surroundings .

His powerful spiritual consciousness combed each individual building as he started to search for the Blood-striped Seed in earnest .

Su Mo discovered a large number of experts, dozens of them of Advanced Martial King Realm cultivation .

Since Su Mo’s spiritual consciousness was a manifestation of his Mind, it was extremely powerful and could not be detected by even these experts .

Even if they sensed that he was spying on them through his spiritual consciousness, he would immediately withdraw his spiritual consciousness . There was no way for them to track him down .

Soon, Su Mo discovered a massive palace that was bursting with the energy of fire property . The words ‘Fire Palace’ were beautifully engraved on a board that hung above the palace gate .

“This should be it!” Su Mo was elated . His spiritual consciousness rushed into this palace .

He discovered many craftsmen inside this palace, as well as a craftsmanship room .

“It really is here!” Su Mo got more excited .

As his spiritual consciousness swept past one of the rooms, an elderly man who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed inside suddenly opened his eyes .

“Who is spying on me?” he shouted .

The elderly man’s powerful mind transformed into sharp knives that attacked his spiritual consciousness .

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Su Mo’s spiritual consciousness was shredded into pieces .

Uh!

Su Mo groaned and immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness .

“He is powerful!” Su Mo said with surprise as he opened his eyes .

The elderly man’s mindpower was much stronger than his .

“I bet he is an advanced-level craftsman!” Su Mo thought to himself .

He knew that this man was definitely not a Martial Royal Realm expert, so he could only be an advanced-level craftsman who also had a high cultivation . This was the only explanation for his strong willpower .

After all, the willpower of craftsmen tended to be much more powerful than their peer-level martial artists .

“How would I be able to enter?” Su Mo wondered with a frown .

Those Divine Guards stationed outside Crystal Jade Palace were not a problem to him since they were mostly of True Darkness Realm cultivation, which was relatively low . Even their leader was only a low-level Martial King Realm martial artist . It would be easy for him to sneak past time .

However, he would face a problem entering Fire Palace .

The aura from the elderly man earlier showed that he was much stronger than Governor Bai and he was likely a Lv 9 Martial King Realm martial artist . Su Mo would definitely not be his match .

Furthermore, once he was discovered, many people would try to hunt him down so this was an extremely dangerous operation . After all, the Divine Martial Emperor himself lived in this palace .

Su Mo was stuck and could not come up with a feasible plan .

“I wonder how long I’ll need to break through to Martial King Realm?” Su Mo muttered .

If he could break through to Martial King Realm, he would not need to proceed so cautiously and could just rob the palace of the Blood-striped Seed .

After some thought, Su Mo decided to work at increasing his own cultivation first since he was unable to come up with a better plan .

After all, the stronger he was, the better chance he stood of obtaining the Blood-striped Seed .

Su Mo soon entered the Divine Map .

He sat cross-legged in his courtyard and started to cultivate .
