Chapter 450: Meteor Ancestor

Hearing this, the Innate Spirit almost laughed out loud.

‘What a joke.’

In the entire Cangxuan Realm, it had never seen anyone besides itself use this technique.

This wasn’t something you could accomplish just by being powerful.

It had taken even the spirit itself tens of thousands of years to barely master this move.

‘And Su Mo thinks he can do the same after just a glance or two?’

‘How is that any different from daydreaming?’

The Innate Spirit sneered, “If you can do what I did, I’ll twist my own head off and give it to you as a chamber pot.”

However, Su Mo ignored it and began forming a series of hand seals.

WHOOSH!

Streams of pure energy flowed through his hands, finally coalescing into a golden ball of light.

POP!

The golden ball of light burst open, and a tiny golden figure emerged from within.

“Is that all it takes?”

Su Mo murmured to himself.

Nearby, the Innate Spirit froze on the spot.

‘The ultimate technique it had practiced for tens of thousands of years… Su Mo really learned it with a single glance?’

‘This has to be some kind of sick joke, right?’

Su Mo said, “It’s actually quite simple. You just construct a Spirit Body with your own Spiritual Qi, then infuse it with powerful Soul Power. That’s all there is to it.”

In truth, this thing couldn’t be considered creating life at all.

It was merely a clone.

The difference was, after creating this clone, Su Mo’s complexion remained rosy, showing no signs of exhaustion whatsoever.

In contrast, the Innate Spirit was left panting and drained after creating its Semi-Saint Level Sword Spirit.

GULP!

Seeing its secret exposed by Su Mo, the Innate Spirit couldn’t help but gulp on the spot.

‘What a monster!’

Su Mo had not only learned the technique but had also grasped its very essence.

The Innate Spirit said stubbornly, “Hmph, even if you’ve learned it, you still might not be able to defeat my Sword Spirit.”

“We’ll know once we try!”

Su Mo ordered the little golden figure, “Go on. Stand there and let its Sword Spirit attack you.”

The little golden figure walked up to the Sword Spirit and spread its arms.

The gesture was clear: ‘Come on, hit me.’

“Arrogant!”

The Sword Spirit formed a sword with two fingers, unleashing a terrifying blast of Sword Qi that struck the little golden figure’s chest.

CLANG!

The golden figure’s body seemed to be made of metal. Not only was it completely unharmed, but sparks flew from the impact.

“This little golden figure is a monster too? Impossible! My Sword Spirit is Semi-Saint Level.”

The Innate Spirit pointed at the little golden figure and roared furiously, “Keep hitting it with everything you’ve got! Kill it!”

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The Sword Spirit unleashed several more flashes of sword light at the little golden figure.

Not only did the little golden figure not block, it turned around and stuck its butt out.

This scene left everyone present completely dumbfounded.

‘What a mischievous little golden figure.’

Even Su Mo couldn’t bear to watch.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A series of sword flashes struck the little golden figure’s butt, but they couldn’t harm it in the slightest.

Now, the Innate Sword Spirit fell into complete despair.

Su Mo recalled the little golden figure and said, “So, are you convinced now?”

“Hmph!”

The Innate Sword Spirit retorted, unconvinced, “I only lost to you because I’ve been trapped here for too long and my power has declined.”

Su Mo said coolly, “Then come find me for a rematch after you’ve recovered your strength. For now, you just need to hand over the Meteor Ancestor’s Divine-level inheritance.”

“Old man, come on out. Your descendants are here to see you.”

The Innate Sword Spirit said to the stone coffin in the hall.

BUZZ!

As soon as the words fell, countless points of starlight burst from the stone coffin, enveloping the entire hall.

The great hall transformed into a starry sky.

An ancient figure walked out from the starry sky and slowly approached the group.

Instantly, everyone present grew tense.

‘Is this the Meteor Ancestor? The powerful Divine-level existence from over thirty thousand years ago?’

‘What a powerful aura.’

The Meteor Ancestor said, “Innate Spirit, you’ve finally remembered to call for me.”

“Hmph, it’s all your fault, you old geezer!”

The Innate Spirit complained, “That blasted Ancient Stele trial you set up was too difficult! No one has been able to get in for over thirty thousand years.”

At this point, it was on the verge of tears.

That was over thirty thousand years.

To put it nicely, it was helping the Meteor Ancestor guard the door until an Inheritor from the Meteor Sect arrived. In reality, it was a form of imprisonment.

Anyone imprisoned for thirty thousand years would probably be miserable.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue and the others all looked at each other and then at Su Mo.

‘The Ancient Stele trial was too difficult?’

‘But Su Mo passed the Ancient Stele trial and opened the stone door with a single touch.’

“Wait, something doesn’t seem right!”

Li Ming stepped forward and asked, “Senior Innate Spirit, didn’t you just say you were our Ancestor’s master? How is it that…”

“I…”

The Innate Spirit’s face was filled with embarrassment.

The Meteor Ancestor said, stunned, “Is that what you told them?”

“So what if I did?”

The Innate Spirit demanded, “Don’t you forget how you broke through to the Divine Level!”

“That’s true!”

The Meteor Ancestor laughed. “The reason I was able to reach the Divine Level was indeed thanks to your help. Fine, I won’t hold it against you this time.”

“So these are the little ones?”

The Meteor Ancestor turned to look at the young people, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Mo. “Hmm? Such powerful strength! To think my Meteor Sect has produced a monstrous genius like you.”

“I’m not from your Meteor Sect,”

Su Mo said.

The Meteor Ancestor asked, surprised, “Not from the Meteor Sect? Then you are…”

“Just think of me as a random passerby,”

Su Mo said nonchalantly.

After some explanation, the Meteor Ancestor finally understood that Su Mo had been invited by Jiang Ruoxue and the others to help.

Because of this, the Meteor Ancestor was greatly disappointed.

If the Meteor Sect could produce a monstrous genius like Su Mo, it could definitely reclaim the glory of thirty thousand years ago.

‘What a pity!’

The Meteor Ancestor mused, “Even though you are not a disciple of our Meteor Sect, I still wish to pass on my Divine-level Technique to you.”

As long as Su Mo obtained his technique, he was certain to advance to the Divine Level in the future.

The same couldn’t be said for the others.

Therefore, the Meteor Ancestor wanted to pass the technique to Su Mo to forge a good relationship for the Meteor Sect.

However…

Su Mo refused. “I don’t need it.”

“What?”

The Meteor Ancestor said in astonishment, “Su Mo, you’d better think this through. My inheritance is a Divine-level Technique…”

“So what if it’s a Divine-level Technique? Is it stronger than the one I’m cultivating?”

Su Mo said lazily.

The Meteor Ancestor was stunned.

He had only just realized that Su Mo was only at the Grand Martial Artist Realm, not even a Martial Monarch.

And yet, Su Mo’s strength was comparable to the Saint Level.

A Cultivation Technique that could allow a Martial Artist at the Grand Martial Artist Realm to rival a Saint-Level existence was simply unimaginably powerful.

No wonder Su Mo looked down on his Divine-level Technique.

Compared to Su Mo’s own Cultivation Technique, his Divine-level Technique was absolute crap.

“My apologies. I was being presumptuous.”

The Meteor Ancestor gave a bitter smile and turned to look at Jiang Ruoxue, Han Yimo, and Li Ming.

However, the trio’s talent was worlds apart from Su Mo’s.

“Well, they’ll have to do.”

The Meteor Ancestor asked, “The three of you, are you willing to receive the inheritance of my Divine-level Technique and carry on my legacy?”
