Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

As Mo Xie descended, he looked around at his surroundings with a puzzled expression.

It's quite strange, even though it's deep underground, in a dark trench, there are light sources all around.

These light sources emanated from who-knows-where, making everything around look like dusk, both beautiful and dazzling, yet also eerily desolate and chilling.

Below is already a rocky crust, but the uneven rocky crust has many cracks of varying sizes, some as small as alleys, and some as huge as canyons.

Having drilled into the cracks in the earth's crust, Mo Xie was surprised to find that these cracks were actually interconnected, resembling a new geological labyrinth.

Looking down, a magnificent red arc, like the sunrise over the horizon, slowly spreads out at the bottom, resembling a dazzling galaxy.

As she slowly descended, Mo Xie was astonished to find that the water in front of her seemed to have stopped flowing downwards.

Looking through the calm water, at the bottom is a huge void in the earth's crust, as large as a city. The magnificent red dome is like an oval canopy, enveloping this void in the earth's crust!
Mo Xie swam to the bottom of the water, slowly reached her hand through the surface, and felt around to find that there was indeed no water on the other side, but rather it was extremely warm.

His gaze sharpened, and his body passed through the water's surface. Instead of falling directly into the crack in the earth's crust, he descended slowly.

A silver glint flashed in his pupils, and his entire body radiated a mysterious light. A spatial force enveloped his body, preventing him from freefalling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Xie had time to observe the voids in the Earth's crust.

In fact, those thousands upon thousands of fissures in the earth are like a suspended lake, with seawater cascading down like a waterfall, flowing into the vast and magnificent void below, where the brown seawater surges and roars like countless long, brownish-yellow dragons taking flight, their bodies long and flowing back to the earth!

When all the fissure waterfalls cascaded down into the red underground dome, they transformed into even more vibrant clouds and mist, returning to the water world of the cracks in the earth's crust above. Through refraction and scattering, they became the underground light source that Mo Xie had previously found incomprehensible.

This stunning and magnificent scene is truly astonishing, like suddenly encountering a blazing sun floating in the dark universe. It is abrupt and shocking. Any creature, no matter how large, would seem to be melted into tiny dust in an instant in front of it!
In the center of this crustal space, a thick, standing stone pillar rises from the ground, with a flat surface on it.

On the platform sits a red, translucent object the size of a head, from which the magnificent red dome of light shines, radiating a dazzling brilliance!
This is a fire-element earth core that has never been discovered before. The energy it radiates envelops this crustal space and nourishes the seawater in the cracks.

The reason why those Vermilion Bird feathers have remained in this underwater world for so many years without fading is most likely because they absorbed some of the energy from the Earth's Core.

"As expected, it's the Fire-type Earth Core..."

Mo Xie stood with his feet on the ground, his gaze fixed on the fire-element earth core, feeling the warmth and gentleness in the air, as if his body and mind were relaxing.

Especially after fusing with the Vermilion Bird feathers, the affinity for fire has inexplicably increased significantly, and this feeling is particularly clear.

Even with an extraordinary Earth Core right before his eyes, Mo Xie couldn't take it away. Not only did the Evil Heaven Pavilion already possess three Earth Cores, but he also lacked the tools to collect them.

Besides, this Earth Core benefits the entire Lanyang City and nourishes the bodies of its citizens; it is an opportunity in itself, and one cannot simply seize it on one's own.

Let the Earth Core stay in Lanyang City for now. When the sea level rises, we can tell our master or Uncle Zheng to take the Earth Core away in the name of high-ranking officials.

Of course, one could also wait until Lanyang City is invaded and then secretly steal the Core of the Earth...

Having left the Earth's crust, Mo Xie returned to the core of Lanyang, where he sat cross-legged on the platform and closed his eyes to begin meditation.

Although the Vermilion Bird's feathers were fused with Mo Xie's, the main energy of Lan Yang's core comes from the Earth's Essence, so those feathers were more of an embellishment. In just two or three months, his cultivation level improved dramatically. All six of his main and secondary cultivation systems broke through to the high level, and even his four auxiliary cultivation systems rapidly advanced to the second level of the middle stage.

If one continues to break through and advance, it may be a case of forcing growth, and one's cultivation will become unstable, leading to an unstable foundation.

The most important thing right now is to consolidate your cultivation level. Once the Star River and Nebula are fully developed, then you can start preparing for the next level.

Even though the effect of this Lanyang Earth Core isn't bad, it certainly can't compare to the Three-Step Tower of Mingzhu Academy, but it's better than nothing.

Time passed in meditation, and the next day arrived quickly. As agreed, Jiang Ting and Mayor Xu went to the center of Lanyang.

Seeing the two of them come out of the elevator, Mo Xie snapped out of his meditation, stood up, stretched, and stepped off the platform to greet them.

"Mr. Mo, how is your cultivation experience in the core of Lanyang?"

Mayor Xu chuckled, looked at Mo Xie who was walking over, and asked with a smile.

"The cultivation effects provided by the core of Lanyang Earth are indeed quite good, and I am very satisfied."

Of course, I am more satisfied with the Vermilion Bird Inheritance and the Core of the Earth below... Mo Xie muttered to himself before looking at the beautiful and charming Jiang Ting beside him.

Jiang Ting tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a bright smile appearing on her pretty face, and spoke softly.

"Boss, I've already booked the restaurant and train tickets. We can head back to Shanghai this afternoon."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Mo Xie nodded and smiled at her, feeling warm inside. Her older sister was so thoughtful, taking care of things in her spare time. She was very virtuous.

"Yes, yes, let's go eat first. It's perfect that Mr. Mo has come all this way, and I, as the host, haven't yet taken the initiative to treat everyone. Today's meal must be on me!"

Mayor Xu patted his chest and readily agreed to host the dinner, speaking generously.

Mo Xie wanted to stop him, but seeing the other party's serious expression, she didn't persist and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, then I thank Mayor Xu."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Xu smiled with satisfaction, then glanced at Mo Xie's expression and said cautiously.

"Um... Mr. Mo, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Mo Xie was taken aback at first, but then he understood what the other party meant. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and nodded.

"can."

"Haha, okay, let's go then!" (End of Chapter)
