150: Chapter 150: Eat a lot and control everything!
Seeing the confusion in Su Mo's eyes, Xing Qian explained, "The dragon sinew in your hand, if I am not mistaken, should have been given to you by Crimson Vastness."
"So that's how it is..." Su Mo suddenly realized.
"If you want me to put down my bow and arrow, that's fine, but everyone must swear a Heavenly Dao oath together."
His gaze swept across Gu Tongtian and the four Peak Masters, finally landing on Xing Qian's phantom. With a thought, dense rows of text appeared out of thin air.
"Read this aloud..."
After glancing at the text in the air, Gu Tongtian and the others instantly felt their scalps tingle.
The clauses in this oath encompassed everything related to Su Mo, detailed to a hair-raising degree.
If they swore a Heavenly Dao oath according to these terms, they would probably have to applaud and cheer even if Su Mo rode on their heads and defecated in the future.
"This..." The group looked at each other, and finally, under Xing Qian's gaze, they gritted their teeth and began to recite.
To Su Mo's surprise, Xing Qian also obediently finished the oath, without a trace of reluctance on his face.
"Little Friend, is this acceptable now?"
In the mysterious void, Su Mo felt a sudden connection form between himself and the people before him, and he smiled with satisfaction.
"It is." He turned his bow and arrow, aiming it toward the sky.
The next moment, he released the bowstring. A dark red beam of light instantly shot into the sky. The terrifying power contained within made the few who had quickly moved away feel their Divine Soul tremble, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
If this arrow had landed on them, they would likely be dead, with not even ash left behind.
Xing Qian took a deep breath and sighed, "Little Friend's Divine Ability is truly earth-shattering; this old man has never heard of such a thing."
He could not have withstood the power of that arrow just now!
Watching the reluctant expressions on Gu Tongtian and the others, Su Mo chuckled, "If you want more, I still have plenty."
"Don't worry... I have enough to fill you up."
Su Mo waved his hand, and dozens of dark red Golden Cores suddenly appeared beside him, transforming in the air, sometimes into bow bodies and sometimes into arrows.
Seeing this, the pupils of Gu Tongtian and the others constricted, and they subconsciously took half a step back.
Even Xing Qian's phantom fluctuated violently, and he quickly coughed, "Little Friend, please put away your Divine Ability."
"Since you are being so polite, then never mind." Su Mo waved his hand and retrieved the Golden Cores.
"Now, it is time to discuss the matter of compensation."
"Your Hegemon Body Sect's Saint hurt my people and used a killing blow right from the start. If it weren't for..."
Before he could finish, Xing Qian spoke up, "Little Friend, how about this?"
With a flick of his finger, Gu Qing, who was lying half-prone on the ground, began to silently turn into powder starting from his lower body.
"Dad! Save..." Gu Qing let out a shrill scream, but before the word "me" could leave his lips, he was completely erased.
Gu Tongtian's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he subconsciously looked at Xing Qian. "Old Ancestor!"
Xing Qian's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest: "He possesses a precious body but has the intelligence of rotting wood. With such Heart-Nature, keeping him will surely become a disaster for the Sect."
His gaze swept over the five of them: "You have all failed in your guidance, indulging and shielding him, and you also bear responsibility."
"I punish you to face the wall and reflect for three hundred years, and the Sect's resources will be reduced by seventy percent, as a warning to others."
Finally, he looked at Su Mo, his tone softening: "Little Friend, is this disposal acceptable to you?"
Su Mo took a long look at Xing Qian. This old man was ruthless, decisive, and smart enough.
"Not bad, but it's still lacking a little..." Su Mo looked at the four Peak Masters and said indifferently, "Which one of you is Xiao Yurou's Master?"
As soon as the words fell, the group turned to look at Hong Yue. With no other choice, he stepped forward.
Su Mo waved his hand, and a flash of light passed by. Hong Yue's right arm was severed at the shoulder, covered in the Power of Laws, preventing any possibility of regeneration.
"I am severing your arm to teach you a lesson. As for the reason, you know it yourself."
Seeing Hong Yue nod, Su Mo was finally satisfied: "Now it is acceptable."
A moment later, the group left, but Xing Qian remained standing in place. Su Mo spoke indifferently: "Speak, what is it?"
Xing Qian's phantom fluctuated slightly, and he squeezed an awkward smile onto his old face: "As expected, I could not hide it from Little Friend's Wisdom Eye."
"This old man does indeed have a favor to ask. As long as Little Friend agrees, I am willing to offer a piece of Star-Sinking Stone as a reward."
He pointed a finger, and a strange Ore, two people tall and golden-flecked within an earthy yellow, burst out from the ground.
The moment the Ore appeared, the surrounding gravity changed drastically. Centered on the giant stone, a massive force field pulled at everything.
"This stone is a Star-Sinking Stone, a rare treasure from beyond the heavens, and the Foundation of the Hegemon Body Sect."
"It contains the Law of Earth and the Law of Gold, which are quite beneficial for tempering the body and comprehending the Law."
Su Mo looked at the stone, a flash of interest in his eyes: "Tell me what the matter is first."
"If it is too difficult or too troublesome, I have no interest."
Xing Qian laughed: "This old man would naturally not make things difficult for Little Friend. Or rather, with Little Friend's speed, this item should be within easy reach."
He lowered his voice slightly: "Deep within the Immortal Burial Battlefield, there is a Forbidden Ground where the rule is that only those who can reach extreme speeds relying solely on their Physical Body may enter."
"If the speed does not reach the critical point, one does not even have the qualifications to touch the entrance."
"After Little Friend enters, you will know what item I need."
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "You are in the Mahayana Stage, why can't you just go yourself?"
A bitter smile appeared on Xing Qian's face: "This old man would like to go, but my current state is special, and it is inconvenient for me to move."
"Even this wisp of Divine Thought was left behind previously."
After speaking, he controlled the Star-Sinking Stone to land in Su Mo's hand and his figure dissipated, not giving Su Mo any chance to refuse.
"Damn it! Forced buying and selling, huh!" Su Mo could only helplessly put the Star-Sinking Stone away and fly out of the Hegemon Body Sect.
Xing Qian didn't say when he had to give him the item, and the reward had already been given. Free stuff, might as well take it.
On the way back, Su Mo suddenly remembered. When he was fighting Gu Tongtian and the others, he discovered that the Laws they had comprehended seemed extremely fragile in the face of his own incomplete Law of Light.
He patted his belt and asked, "Crimson Prison, do you know why Gu Tongtian and the others' Laws crumbled at a single touch before me?"
As a part of an Immortal Artifact, Crimson Prison certainly knew a lot. The dragon sinew flashed with light, and a small dragon phantom appeared: "That should be because of the rank difference between Laws."
Crimson Prison had deep personal experience with this; it was only long after being defeated by Su Mo that he thought of the reason.
"Rank difference between Laws? Explain in detail."
"Yes, Master." Crimson Prison organized his words: "Ordinary Cultivators mostly comprehend the basic Laws that construct the world, while the Law of Light that you, Master, have mastered belongs to the higher-order Laws."
"Then there are the Supreme Laws, such as Time, Space, Karma..."
"Higher-order Laws have a natural suppression over lower-order Laws."
A look of realization flashed in Su Mo's eyes. No wonder Gu Tongtian's Law of Earth seemed so weak before him.
However... Space Law. Su Mo did know that among the runes in the teleportation Formation, a few were related to Space Law, but there were too few.
Even if he used [Quantum Analysis] to analyze and deduce, he couldn't comprehend anything.
