Chapter 2152: Helpless Choice

After a long moment of silence, Su Mo asked again, “Tribe Leader Bing, do you often use the Ice Dawn Stone to cultivate?”

“Of course!” Bing Yue nodded. He answered Su Mo’s question without much thought.

“Then why is it that you do not control the Ice Origin Energy but you continue with Dark Force?” Su Mo’s eyes shimmered as he asked.

“Control the Origin Energy?”

The moment Bing Yue heard Su Mo’s question, he let out a laugh, “Su Mo, only Deities have the ability to control Origin Energy. Granted, Half Deities are also able to control it!”

“Is that so?” Su Mo confirmed. Only Deities controlled Origin Energy?

“Su Mo you may not know but as high as the grade of the Dawn Stone in God’s Path is, the Origin Energy in the stones are so complicated, the eventual Origin Energy refined from them is not pure enough!”

Bing Yue’s voice deepened and he hesitated for a while, “What we cultivate is the Dark Force refined from the Origin Energy. We cannot let Origin Energy replace the Dark Force, otherwise we will self-destruct!”

“I see!” Su Mo sighed. He had only refined a slight amount of Origin Energy and had not felt the full effects of it.

This placed him in a tight spot. How was he going to heal his Sacred Elixir?

Could it be that he could merge the five types of energy without refining them into Origin Energy? Although the Chaotic Origin would be complicated, he might be able to control it.

Will Chaotic Origin be able to heal his Sacred Elixir?

Bing Yue observed Su Mo as he pondered deeply, not interrupting the youngster.

A few moments later, Su Mo stared at Bing Yue and said, “Tribe Leader Bing, do you know how a Sacred Elixir can be healed if it is broken?”

“Broken Sacred Elixir?” Bing Yue asked as a confused look crossed his eyes. Could Su Mo’s Sacred Elixir be broken? That didn’t seem possible! How could his Sacred Elixir be broken while he remain so strong?

However, Bing Yue did not question further and he replied, “There are quite a number of ways to mend a broken Sacred Elixir. There are about three easy ways to go about doing it.”

“Which three?” Su Mo asked hurriedly.

“The first is to rely on continued cultivation for the Sacred Elixir to mend itself. However, this process is long and you may require a few years or even a dozen years. It depends greatly on how damaged the Sacred Elixir is!” Bing Yue explained swiftly.

Su Mo quietly took the information in as he waited for Bing Yue to explain the two other methods.

“The second way is somewhat easier, that is to refine the Sacred Elixir with Origin Energy. This method also takes some time but it is much faster than the first. The only problem is that it requires a large number of Dawn Stones!”

“The third method is the fastest but most dangerous. It is to refine a new Sacred Elixir. This method might take a few days to complete, but if isn’t successful, you might die!”

Bing Yue explained the remaining two methods quickly to Su Mo in one shot.

There were other methods to heal the Sacred Elixir but they were tougher methods.

“The second method is the best!” Su Mo’s eyes flashed. The first was too slow and the third was too dangerous. Unless things came to a head, he would not try the last method.

“Mm, I will recommend the third method as well!” Bing Yue agreed.

“What are the details for the second method?” Su Mo asked again.

“It is very simple. You use the Origin Energy and continuously refine the Sacred Elixir. However, you need to have a good grasp of the control and balance of the energies!” Bing Yue said.

“How long will it take?” Su Mo probed.

“It is hard to say as it depends on the degree of damage to the Sacred Elixir.” Bing Yue shook his head.

“Three tears along it. Extending from the tears would take off half of the Sacred Elixir!” Su Mo answered.

“Such an extent would need about two years!” Bing Yue said. He wasn’t sure of the timeline either as his Sacred Elixir had never been broken before.

“Two years!” Instantly, a disappointed look crossed Su Mo’s eyes. Although two years wasn’t long, it was a huge waste of time for him.

This greatly influenced the time it would take to become an Empty God. This would also increase the difficulty of his future plans.

A few moments later, Su Mo waved his hand and retrieved a large amount of blue Dawn Stones, displaying them in front of Bing Yue.

“This is…!” Bing Yue’s face filled with shock as he stared at the heap of Dawn Stones in front of him.

“Tribe Leader Bing, these Dawn Stones are for you. I will need the Dark Ice Tribe to help me!” Su Mo requested in a low voice. There were about two thousand Dawn Stones in total. Thunder Dawn Stones, Ice Dawn Stones, Wind Dawn Stones were among them. The only excluded Dawn Stones were the five elemental Dawn Stones.

Su Mo had retrieved all the Dawn Stones aside from the five elemental Dawn Stones as they were not very useful for him.

“Su Mo, you don’t have to be too courteous. We will help you with your request!’ Bing Yue urgently stood up and bowed to Su Mo.

He was moved by Su Mo’s actions. Even if Su Mo did not give them any reward, the Dark Ice Tribe would not reject Su Mo’s order. However, Su Mo had actually offered a large amount of Dawn Stones to them.

The Dawn Stones of the Dark Ice Tribe and the spoils added together would equal only about six hundred Dawn Stones.

Yet, Su Mo had actually taken out two thousand Dawn Stones as a huge compensation for them.

“How many men above the King Sage Realm does your tribe have?” Su Mo stared at Bing Yue and asked.

“Counting the King Sages and Empty Gods and including me, it would add up to sixty-five people!” Bing Yue truthfully said.

“Very good!”

Su Mo nodded and continued, “Send sixty men to head to Nine Mountains of God’s Path to find a person for me.”

“Who is it?” Bing Yue asked curiously.

“My lover!”

Su Mo lightly said. With that, he waved his hand and allowed a light Chaotic Energy to seep out. The Chaotic Energy rolled together to form a projection.

Although this projection wasn’t very clear, the appearance and figure that it displayed was crystal clear, and Bing Yue could see an outstanding character from it.

This projection was Xi’er.

“So it is your lover. Rest assured, I will send men immediately!” Bing Yue nodded his head as his voice deepened. Without taking the Dawn Stones, he walked out of the cultivation room.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want the Dawn Stones, rather, he didn’t dare to want them. Although Su Mo was being courteous then, he knew that Su Mo was a death god.

“Wait!”

Su Mo quickly waved his hand and threw a bunch of Dawn Stones towards Bing Yue, “I will wait for your good news. If you find her, I will give the Dark Ice Tribe a heaven sent opportunity!”

Bing Yue instantly broke into a smile as he retrieved the Dawn Stones.

He did not take too much notice of Su Mo’s promise. He was happy with the Dawn Stones he received and he didn’t place too much hope on the promise.

“Another thing, Su Mo. The Ninth Mountain is dangerous, I am afraid…!” Once he had retrieved the Dawn Stones, Bing Yue hesitantly stammered.

Although he could help Su Mo, he had to ensure the safety of his tribesmen.

“You can leave the Ninth Mountain alone.” Su Mo uttered. He knew the situation at Ninth Mountain was dangerous and he wouldn’t force the Dark Ice Tribesmen.

“That’s good!” Bing Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

“Also, let me use your cultivation room for a while. You wouldn’t mind it, right?” Su Mo asked.

He didn’t plan on leaving so soon. Although Silver Ice City wasn’t safe, the outside world was worse.

His danger didn’t come from the nearby cities but the Sky Tyrant Tribe.

If the Sky Tyrant Tribe couldn’t come to Second Mountain, they would not give up on him and they would definitely get other experts to investigate his whereabouts on Second Mountain.

“Hehe, it is alright! Cultivate here!” Bing Yue laughed lightheartedly. At the same time, he felt his heart relax slightly.

He could confirm that Su Mo had injured his Sacred Elixir.

Yet, he was in slight disbelief that Su Mo could still be so strong despite having his Sacred Elixir broken.

“A godly talent here must be a godly talent that is born once in a millennia in the Universe!” Bing Yue guessed.

Without delaying further, Bing Yue cupped his fists towards Su Mo and left the cultivation room to arrange for men to help Su Mo find Xi’er.

“I hope she can be found!”

As he stared at Bing Yue’s back, Su Mo let out a long sigh. His strength had yet to return and he could only trouble the Dark Ice Tribe.

The Dark Ice Tribe had many men who, although they weren’t individually strong, would not have a problem finding someone. Before long, they would be able to check through the eight mountains.
