At Azure Divine Palace, on the White Jade Plaza beneath the former Heaven Ascending Ladder, a flash of light appeared, and a figure suddenly emerged in midair above the plaza.
The figure was Su Mo!
The moment Su Mo appeared, he sensed the powerful air-restriction array and rapidly descended.
"Finally, I'm back!"
Landing on the White Jade Plaza, Su Mo looked at the gates of Azure Divine Palace before him, his heart filled with countless emotions.
Two years ago, when he had first arrived at Azure Divine Palace, he had merely been a minor True Spirit Realm Martial Artist.
Two years later, when he returned here again, he was already on the verge of becoming a martial king realm expert.
Two years had passed in the blink of an eye. He was no longer the insignificant martial artist he had once been.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
As soon as Su Mo arrived, the sound of rushing wind came from afar. Nine Puppet Men, wholly unaffected by the air-restriction array, flew over at high speed.
These nine Puppet Men were precisely the guardian puppets of the Nine Palaces: Gold One, Shi Yi, Fire One, and the others.
The nine arrived in an instant, then all examined Su Mo without prior agreement.
"Holy Son, you've finally returned!"
"Greetings, Holy Son!"
"Greetings, Holy Son!"
Several Puppet Men spoke in succession and cupped their fists toward Su Mo.
"You seniors are too courteous!" Su Mo said with a smile, likewise cupping his fists toward them. He would not look down on them merely because they were puppets.
"Holy Son, although your cultivation has not yet reached the Martial King Realm, you are not far from it. Congratulations, Holy Son, on your tremendous advancement!" A stiff smile tugged at Gold One's metallic face.
Su Mo smiled
