Sima Mo

**Sima Mo** was the Head Disciple of the Heaven Breaking Sect back when they were a rank 8 sect almost 18,000 years ago.

He was taken to the Outer Realm by the Sovereign and now goes by the moniker of "**Master Simo**" as a member of the Sovereign Council.

## Background

Soon after he was born, he was orphaned and was left to fend for himself and his younger sister. He dreamt of being an Immortal and left for a Sect soon after reaching the age of 18. A few years later, he returned to attend his sister's wedding but by the time he got there he saw the village burning and soon found his sister's corpse. He tracked down the culprits to a mortal gang of bandits and killed them and anyone affiliated with them after increasing his cultivation. However, he found that the one's that attacked his sister's wedding had already died so he tracked them down to their reincarnation and killed them again and again.

18,000 years ago in the Cloud Sea Star System, the Heaven Breaking Sect was a rank 8 sect ready to move into the mighty Rank 9 Region. Two months before the move, Sima Mo, along with a bunch of his sect brothers and a few of his sect uncles, accidentally found a spatial crack which led to the Seven-Colored Realm. The Heaven Breaking Sect gathered large amounts of cultivators together to enter the crack, including elders that were at Heaven’s Blight. They broke their way through despite countless casualties.

In the end, they found a corpse in the depths of the spatial crack. There were three things next to the corpse: a pill, a broken sword, and a piece of beast bone.

However, they had a traitor in their midst, and the news got leaked out. What awaited them was the entire rank 8 region moving against them. Countless old monsters that rarely appeared all participated in this battle that made their eyes red. In the end, this caused the rank 9 region that almost never interfered to finally step in. The Sect Leader and Elders of the Heaven Breaking Sect weren’t willing to fight for these three items. They traded the pill and broken sword for their survival. They also maintained their original trajectory of moving to the rank 9 region.

Sima Mo and his entourage were expelled from the sect and exiled to the Seven-Colored Realm. They took the beast bone fragment and left. However, they had to face the horrors of the Seven-Colored Realm.

Sima Mo's life in Seven-Colored Realm

"It has been three years… Second Brother is dead and Third Brother is also dead… They became Lost Ones and wandered here… I saw them four days ago, but they no longer recognized me and just walked past me… I can’t let things continue, I must find a way.”
“This is the sixth year since I came here, and I found a jade. It contains a restriction called ‘Time Restriction.’ I must learn it…”
“Uncle-Master left. He went into the depths of this place. He told me a voice had called him… This is the 11th year since I came here… I managed to grasp a bit of the Time Restriction.”
“How much time has passed? It must have been at least 30 years. The Enlightened Ones attacked once more, and I clearly saw Uncle-Master among them… They took away Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother…”
“I have finally mastered the Time Restriction. I and the remnants of my sect set a giant Time Restriction in a valley. Ninth Brother sacrificed his life to reinforce the time of this restriction. Before he died, he made me promise him that I would take his remains back to the Heaven Breaking Sect… I promised, but can I do it…"
“The Time Restriction has protected the valley, and the valley has become my home… However, I didn’t find the warmth of home. I only saw familiar faces gradually become unfamiliar."
“It has been 100 years. There is no night or day, so I can’t accurately calculate the time here. However, by judging the power of the Time Restriction, it should have been 100 years. Just why do I feel like 1,000 years have passed… 13th Brother destroyed his own body and died… He couldn’t bear this kind of existence any longer."
“The people around me have become Lost Ones or Enlightened Ones. Only me, 16th Brother, and Fourth Uncle remain. I know we are sinners, and perhaps this is our punishment. However, I’m unwilling to yield!! I won’t yield!"
“Today is a day I will never forget. It has been more than 130 years since I came here, and this was the first time the Defying Ones appeared. Fourth Uncle turned into a Defying One…"
“They’re all gone. Only 16th Brother and I remain… However, I thought of a method to save them. I must try, even if it means death! I said goodbye to 16th Brother and left the valley."
“I brought back Second Brother and Third Brother, along with everyone else that became Lost Ones… I entered the depths of the mountain and found Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, who became Enlightened Ones, and brought them back. I then went into the depths of this place. I was very familiar with the path there…”
“I found Second Uncle and brought him back.”
“I have already been here for more than 300 years and have gone to all the places I can go. I found a bead that could seal the spells of Defying Ones! I don’t know what they are exactly, but in order to save Fourth Uncle, I searched a majority of the places and found a few more beads."
“That was the fourth time I went into the depths of this place. I knew that it was here that Fourth Uncle faced those powerful Defying Ones. I used the beads to seal all their spells… I searched for a few years before I finally found Fourth Uncle… It’s just… I didn’t expect him to be there, so I failed… A seven-colored nail pierced into my body… This nail was very strange; it immediately melted inside my body."
“I finally escaped and returned to the valley in a blur. My consciousness gradually faded and an insane idea kept appearing in my mind. This insane idea wanted me to kill all living creatures I could see… It’s just that the only other living thing here besides me was 16th Brother."
“I drove 16th Brother out of the valley. I gave my identity token and beast bone to him. I made him leave the valley and told him to come back in 10 years… 16th Brother left… I sat in the valley, looking up at the seven-colored sky, waiting for the final madness to come.”
“Second Brother, Third Brother, and all my fellow sect members, if any of you awaken and see my jades, you will know what happened in those hundreds of years..."
“Also, I have collected a lot of those strange beads. I vaguely found some clues about them. These stone beads are not natural; they were refined by someone. There was no difference between their size, weight, or surface… It is as if someone came here and used a special spell to make these beads a long time ago…"
“My consciousness became blurred, but I had a feeling something was pulling at my origin soul… I don’t know why, but at that moment, my consciousness became clear and a crazy idea emerged in my head… Maybe I should do it… If I succeed, I won’t go crazy. I will… be reborn!"
“My consciousness seemed to leave my body and extended into the starry sky… I saw… a person. A middle-aged man in a black robe with a round mark between his eyebrows. He said that his name was ‘Sovereign…'"

The Sovereign offered to save Sima Mo if he defected to the Outer Realm but the latter refused. Then the Sovereign offered to bring back his sister's soul to accompany him and allow him the chance to reach the third step and hopefully find someone stronger in the future to resurrect his sister. Despite shedding tears of blood, Sima Mo agreed.

## History

He was informed of the kill order on Wang Lin and so he sent his Fifth Heaven's Blight avatar to capture the former. He arrived at the location divined soon after Wang Lin left but was surprised to feel the aura of the Great Void Gate. However, he was even further dumbfounded when he felt no trace of Joss Flames and realized that Wang Lin had managed to slightly open the Great Void Gate. After figuring this out, he went after Wang Lin with renewed ambition and curiosity.

He tracked him to the Fallen Land where he used the help of the Ninth Fallen Elder to give him a "just reason" to capture Wang Lin. During their battle, Wang Lin figured out that Master Simo was actually the Heaven Breaking Sect's Sima Mo. In the middle of the battle, the Great Emperor of the Fallen Land decreed that if Wang Lin manages to defeat Simo Mo within 5 seconds his safety would be guaranteed. Wang Lin manages to do so and forces a grievously injured Simo Mo to escape only to be killed by the Great Emperor.

A few months later, Sima Mo appeared in his original body for the Fallen Elder Competition. There, he met Wang Lin, once again. After Wang Lin awakened his Ethereal Flame, he challenged Sima Mo to a battle which the latter readily accepted. During the battle, Wang Lin managed to overpower and seal Sima Mo inside his Ancient God Furnace and used his Dao Spell, Dao Dream upon him. This allowed him to see Sima Mo's past and why he defected to the Outer Realm. Wang Lin then let him go as he felt he might have done something similar if Wan Er was the condition.
