The Seventh Base - Chapter 1063: 122: Serve at His Command

Chapter 1063: Chapter 122: Serve at His Command

Xu Mo and his party left the Holy Land Gate, not moving quickly, just as usual.

If they were too eager, it would be easy to be noticed and reveal their secret.

Now, Lin Fan had probed his memory with spiritual power, and there was no issue. He left ‘reluctantly accepting humiliation’, having nothing to do with the Ancient Book.

As for what would happen after he left, Xu Mo was not concerned. No matter what happened, he would not admit it, just as if nothing had happened, behaving as usual.

“The people of the Lin family are too bullying. It’s a pity that the cultivation time is a bit short. If the Empire Trial Field was open for a few more years, senior brother could easily crush him,” Lowell said, with a bit of comfort in his tone, not knowing if Xu Mo would feel frustrated because of this defeat.

“Lin Fan’s strength is formidable,” Xu Mo said, “Whether it’s spiritual power or attack, it has reached the pinnacle level, and it’s probably just a step away from the Skywalker. If the Empire Trial Field were open for a few more years, I’m afraid many people would step into the Skywalker Realm.”

He did not tell Lowell the truth; this matter was too significant. It was enough for him and Zero to understand.

This matter concerned Zero’s safety. If leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Book of Enlightenment, such a precious treasure, even after leaving, could still stir up a storm, coveted by top cultivators.

Therefore, it must be kept secret to protect this secret.

Previously, in his battle with Lin Fan, his acting was superb, truly ‘going all out’ in the fight. However, there were some means he didn’t use, and at the last moment, the memory Lin Fan seemed to have invaded with his spiritual power, seemed like Lin Fan suppressed him with spiritual power and peeked inside, but actually, Xu Mo opened a small gap intentionally.

He practiced in the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field, where he gained many insights into spiritual power. When Lin Fan invaded his spiritual power, he was actually within Xu Mo’s spiritual domain, meaning Lin Fan was unknowingly enveloped by Xu Mo’s spiritual power.

In that instant, he artificially created a ‘false memory’ for Lin Fan.

For the memory he spied relying on his strength, Lin Fan, of course, was convinced and had no doubt.

Seeing Xu Mo himself was indifferent, Lowell naturally did not mention the previous battle, and said, “What level of treasure is the ancient book in that light column, causing everyone to vie for it? The handiwork of the Silver Star Empire’s old royal family is probably not trivial.”

“Yes,” Xu Mo nodded, “It is a supreme treasure.”

“It’s a pity it was taken away by someone, and we don’t know who it was,” Lowell lamented. He had always been a genius attracting attention, but since entering the Empire Trial Field, he didn’t stand out.

There were too many geniuses here. Even those geniuses who could command the winds and rains on various planets seemed ordinary here, and most of the prominent figures didn’t even have the qualification to compete for the stone pillar.

“If we don’t find out, it might trigger a series of disturbances,” Augustus also spoke, considering the situation over there. If they do not find out who took that scroll, figures like Lin Jian and Delon might not let it rest.

Over by the Holy Land Gate, a fierce struggle must still be about to erupt.

However, it probably has nothing to do with them now, right?

“Where are we going now?” Lowell asked, and with seven days left, it seemed like they couldn’t do much.

“Let’s head to the entrance location. We have to hurry; when the Empire Trial Field opens, we’ll leave directly,” Xu Mo replied.

Going to those places of opportunity to practice definitely wouldn’t be enough time; in fact, this little time is barely enough for the journey. The Empire Trial Field is too vast.

Now, Xu Mo merely hoped to leave safely, with no high requirements.

“Did you go to Centimeter Light Speed?” Xu Mo asked Lowell and Hudson.

“We did,” Lowell nodded, “It’s a place to accelerate cultivation speed, Light Speed, and both Hudson and I benefited greatly.”

“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded.

In the three years at the Empire Trial Field, the group of five each gained something, making it worthwhile.

Especially he and Zero; in the three years of cultivation at the Empire Trial Field, he completed a transformation of strength, and Zero obtained the Book of Enlightenment.

Next, they would wait for the Empire Trial Field to open and leave directly to avoid further waves, then return to the Mystic God Temple to train diligently and strive for the Skywalker realm.

When he eventually steps into the Skywalker realm, his training goal at the Mystic God Temple will be complete.

But now, there was one more thing.

About Zero’s identity.

……

After they left, inside the Holy Land Gate, in the area of eighteen stone pillars, an extremely intense chaotic struggle erupted.

Because of the disappearance of the Book of Enlightenment, various forces clashed fiercely, experiencing intense confrontation, during which several people had their memories probed.

Even Heath O’Brien, the son of the O’Brian Republic Leader, and Lonco, the Prince of the Kales Empire, could not avoid the fate of having their memories forcibly probed.

The people of the Lin family showed strong resolve, and likewise, Delon of Saint Tiya Star and Li Daoyi of Odyssey Star Domain both wanted to find it out, and as long as it didn’t involve themselves, they didn’t mind probing others’ memories.

Therefore, many people had their memories forcibly probed, but the whereabouts of the Ancient Book were not found.

Lin Jian, Delon, Li Daoyi, Lin Fan, and others broke out in a fierce chaotic battle, even fighting to the point where those whose memories were probed also joined in, determined that everyone else should be like them, ensuring the whereabouts of the Ancient Book are found.

In the end, an extremely brutal battle took place. Even those as strong as Lin Jian, Delon, and Li Daoyi were injured. Some top Transcendents were forced into desperate struggles. Despite mutual suspicion, the Book of Enlightenment was not found.

Many people witnessed this battle and were unwilling to leave even when injured. Although their memories were not probed, their reactions suggested they believed the Book of Enlightenment was in the hands of the opposition.

On the surface, no one seemed suspicious, as if no one had taken it.

If one among them truly did have it, their acting skills must be exceptional.

As for Xu Mo, who had left, no one suspected him. After all, like many others, his memory had been probed. If Xu Mo had a method to deceive the ‘probe,’ then couldn’t others have done the same?

Moreover, the memories of the strongest individuals had not been probed.

Without the ability to see from an omniscient viewpoint, it was impossible to single out Xu Mo as a suspect.

This is why Xu Mo previously ‘acted’ as Lin Fan. Once his memory was probed, he would have a small chance of being suspected for anything that happened next.

Even if everyone’s memories were probed and nothing was found,

the suspects would still be everyone, not just him alone, returning things to ‘square one.’

This incident eventually faded away without resolution, and everyone left with reluctance.

The Book of Enlightenment seemed to disappear into thin air, but Delon and some others remained steadfast in believing Lin Jian was the primary suspect.

Although Lin Jian ‘acted’ convincingly, appearing to be the most eager to find the Book of Enlightenment,

he was still the first suspect.

Several days later, with only two days remaining before the end of the three-year period, it was speculated that in these few days, the Empire Trial Field would open, allowing the Transcendents inside to leave.

Transcendents from all sides returned to the entry area to ensure they could exit in time; otherwise, if the Empire Trial Field closed, they would have to wait for the next opening.

At this time, in a location within this area, a group of people were walking on a plain, belonging to the O’Brian Republic, led by Heath O’Brien.

“I didn’t expect the Empire Trial Field journey to end this way. It’s somewhat regrettable.” Heath O’Brien spoke as he walked at the front.

Before setting off, Heath O’Brien was full of ambition and had very high expectations.

However, after entering, they were constantly suppressed by the Kales Empire, and of the seven great opportunities, they didn’t have a complete cultivation session in any place.

Ultimately, upon reaching the Holy Land Gate, their gains were limited, and they were humiliated by having their memories probed.

This was an extreme humiliation for the proud Heath O’Brien.

The trip was a complete failure.

Now that they were about to leave, of course, he felt dissatisfied, having achieved nothing.

“It’s still an experience of practice.” Proto was a bit more open-minded. He hadn’t come with a strong purpose, but simply treated it as a trial, and he did have some gains, with some progress in combat power.

“If there’s one thing I gained from this journey, it’s spending three years with all of you. Proto, thank the friends from the Mystic God Temple for their care for me.” Heath O’Brien’s voice was ‘sincere,’ trying to win people over.

However, the people from the Mystic God Temple weren’t swayed by this. A mere verbal gratitude felt somewhat cheap, and Heath O’Brien’s actions did not reflect that he considered the Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple as friends.

Previously, he had monopolized the Energy Light Column, not giving it up for even a moment.

“Mr. Heiss, you’re too polite. We’ve gained quite a bit on this journey, and as for ‘care,’ well, not so much. The death rate in this Empire Trial Field is high, and many lone Transcendents met with misfortune.” A Transcendent from the Mystic God Temple, who had a good relationship with Heath O’Brien, said.

The group chatted casually as they continued forward, occasionally encountering Transcendents from other forces.

At this time, in the distant direction, there were many Monsters, and within the Monster group, two figures were fighting the Monsters.

The dazzling spear light swept through, and the two moved very quickly, using the Monsters for their trial.

“Lowell.”

Heath O’Brien spotted one of the figures and recognized him as Lowell, the Governor of Chloe Star’s son, and said, “That’s Lowell and another Chloe Star Mystic God Transcendent, right?”

“Yes, that’s Hudson.” Beside him, Matthew said, “They left with Xu Mo back then.”

“It looks like Lowell is in a trial.” Heath O’Brien said, “From the looks of it, Xu Mo should also be nearby.”

“Speaking of Xu Mo, I’m reminded of the previous battle. Xu Mo and Zero initially entered the Mystic God Temple in a special way. Later, they shone brightly at the Ten Temple Alliance, and after three years of cultivation in the Empire Trial Field, they underwent a transformation. If there’s anyone who changed the most during this Empire Trial Field journey, it would be Xu Mo.” Matthew said, “He almost single-handedly destroyed the Kales Empire, seized a cultivation land, and obtained a Desert Beast. Now, Lowell and Hudson also seem to have made tremendous progress.”

“Xu Mo, he must have had quite a bit of fortune.”

Heath O’Brien pondered upon hearing Matthew’s words. Xu Mo’s talent was indeed outstanding. At the last moment, he entered the Ancient Book Space on the Stone Pillar. Did he comprehend something?

Despite that, Xu Mo was not willing to be used by him.
