Su Mo left the lake and, after identifying his bearings, flew straight toward the south.
The south was where the sect grounds of the Emperor Xuan Palace were located.
Su Mo flew unhurriedly, pondering all along the way.
This trip to the Emperor Xuan Palace had too many variables, and his heart could not help but grow heavy.
Setting aside whether he could defeat Shangguan Hao, what about after he defeated the other man?
Could he take Xi'er away?
Pondering for a long time, Su Mo increasingly felt the difficulties of this trip; everything ultimately stemmed from strength!
If his strength were strong enough, none of this would be a problem.
Su Mo sighed. He would take it one step at a time!
However, as for his strength, he naturally wanted to increase it by whatever fraction he could.
Yet current time was limited, and his cultivation realm could not possibly break through again in the short term.
Thinking and thinking, Su Mo once again thought of his Five Elements Xuan energy.
If he could fuse his Attribute Xuan energy once more, his strength would surge explosively again. However, wanting to fuse it again was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
