“Su Mo, today’s events would surely make you famous. The news will probably spread to the headquarters. Di Yihun might even know about it!” Ling Chang accompanied Su Mo as they left for Palmy Star. They had left Dosu Star behind and were finally safe.

Inall seriousness, Ling Chang told him about her worries.

“That’s alright. Even if I become well known, he might not know I’m Wu Shan!” Su Mo shook his head and continued, “Moreover, we have Reverend Jin Wu to back us up now. There’s nothing Di Yihun can do to me.”

He was not worried about that at that moment. Even if Di Yihun was at the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance headquarters, he was not an apprentice there.

The selection of disciples at the headquarters was extremely rigorous. From the tens of thousands of branches, only thirty candidates were selected every hundred years. Therefore, even if Emperor Yihun was in the alliance headquarters, he would either be a servant or a subordinate. There was nothing

the man could do to Su Mo.

“Whatever, you have to be careful!” Ling Chang nodded. She thought about that too. She was mainly wary of Young Master Liu Yun.

After all, Young Master Liu Yun was a disciple of the headquarters whose father was a Lord. Thus, they could not afford to be careless.

“Yes, I will!” Su Mo nodded.

“Su Mo, we have the Dosu Fruit containing the Life and Death Rule. What do you plan to do?” Ling Chang asked, They had to make a long-term plan.

“Study it, of course!” Su Mo said firmly. He believed that, with his understanding, it would not take long for him to master the Life and Death Rule to a certain extent.

If by his own ability he could save Qian Xunyue, then he would not have to hurry to the Cosmic World to find Zi Xiao.

Of course, he would have to go back to the Cosmic World eventually, but it would have to wait until he had achieved power that that of surpassed everyone there.

“Why don’t you study the Life and Death Rule, and I study the Life Rule? That’s be much safer!” said Ling Chang.

“Sure!” Su Mo nodded. They had the Dosu Fruit that contained the Life and Death Rule, and another one that contained the Life Rule. They could each take one and kill two birds with one stone.

Actually, the Life and Death Rule and the Life Rule were two completely different Rule powers, albeit having one major thing in common, which was the ‘force of life’.

“With this arrangement, we’ll have to focus our energy on studying the Rules for a long time to come!” Ling Chang sighed briefly.

It would take a lot of time to study a totally new Rule to a great extent.

Which was exactly what they did not have.

If Rule powers alone could not save Qian Xunyue, they would have to return to the Cosmic World as soon as possible, but they were not strong enough.

“It won’t take too much time!” Su Mo took a deep breath. Although studying the Rules would consume energy, it would not greatly affect his training progress.

Of course, he had other ways. He did not believe that not a single one out of millions of disciples across the thousand branches of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance had studied or mastered the Life and Death Rule or the Life Rule.

If there was, he could devour them and retrieve the attainments of the Rules.

They pressed on as they talked, About eight hours later, they arrived at Palmy Star and returned to Jin Wu Manor of the Palmy Branch.

Back at the manor, Su Mo followed Ling Chang back to his palace and the two entered a hidden chamber.

“These two Dosu Fruits are for you!” Su Mo flipped his palms and two Dosu Fruits appeared.

‘One was the color of cream and the other was transparent. The former gave of a strong power of life while the latter exuded the power of the mysterious Space Rule.

The first Dosu Fruit contained the Life Rule while the other one contained the Space Rule.

Ling Chang had been previously studying the Space Rule, so Su Mo gave that Dosu Fruit to her.

‘The Rule of Space could be described as the highest ranking among the Rules. Su Mo had long wanted to study it but he simply did not have the time.

As Ling Chang looked at the two Dosu Fruits, she felt moved by Su Mo’s act. Su Mo was willing to give the Dosu Fruit with the Life Rule to her, and that said a lot about how he viewed her.

“And this is for you!” Ling Chang accepted the two Dosu Fruits, then gave Su Mo the Dosu Fruit containing the Life and Death Rule which she had been holding onto.

She suggested Su Mo study the Life and Death Rule while she took the Life Rule because mastering the former was much more difficult than learning the other Rule. Su Mo had greater talent, so she let him have the harder one.

Moreover, the Life and Death Rule had a higher chance of saving Qian Xunyue more than the Life Rule had.

“Take yours first, see how it goes!” Su Mo said.

“Right!” Ling Chang nodded and swallowed the Dosu Fruit containing the Life Rule.

She shut her eyes, her beautiful features staying as calm as water.

Su Mo examined the Dosu Fruit containing the Life and Death Rule in his hands. He was not in a rush to swallow it as he allowed his thoughts to sink into the devouring vortex.

In the devouring vortex, the large Dosu Tree looked extremely small.

All the Dosu Fruits had fallen from the Tree, floating in the devouring vortex.

“You have extremely high intelligence. You should be able to understand what I say!” Su Mo’s thoughts sounded in the devouring vortex. He was talking to the Dosu Tree.

Amoment later, the Dosu Tree remained quiet, not responding at all.

Su Mo was puzzled. For such an extraordinary thing, perhaps it was not very bright?

Hum~~

Just then, something happened. The large Dosu Tree shrank rapidly and, in a blink of an eye, shrank to just over three feet tall.

More surprisingly, the Dosu Tree had transformed into a little girl about three feet in height.

The girl looked around the age of six, with fair skin and some baby fat on her face. She had a pair of soulful eyes and her hair was tied into two braids. She looked really cute.

“Oh my gosh~”

Su Mo was astonished to see that the Dosu Tree had evolved into a spirit!

But then he thought, all sentient beings have spirits. If demonic beasts can take human form, then it was perfectly within reason for the highly intelligent Dosu Tree to take human form as well.

“C-Can you take me home?”

The child said, her big eyes taking in her surroundings, looking both curious and scared.

“Where do you live?” Su Mo asked without thinking.

“Over at Rosy Cloud Mountain,” the girl replied.

“Where’s that?” Su Mo asked doubtfully.

“That’s where J live. I don’t really know where,” the girl’s head wobbled like a rattle.

Su Mo was rendered speechless. His thoughts whirled, and he remembered a rumor that this Dosu Tree was taken from the Primitive Continent by the members of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.

That meant the Rosy Cloud Mountain this girl was talking about had surely come from there.

Su Mo paused to think. This was not a simple girl. Her original form was a Dosu Tree, which could perform three thousand Rules and bear three thousand Dosu Fruits. She would be of great use.

He was thinking not about studying the little girl, but of how to make her stay.

He took away the Dosu Tree, and that action alone could surely cause a ruckus. The Elders of all the major Branches would never allow him to take the Tree as his own. He would have to return it.

But he did not want to return the Tree or, more accurately, the girl..
