Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

With Bai Mo's addition, and with the help of Feng Ling and Shen Chen Hu, they quickly dealt with the remaining Savage Mountain Bear leaders and their tribes.

"Phew—!" Zhao Man let out a long breath. "Finally, it's over. Let's think about how to get out of here."

"These wild mountain bears are strange!" Ai Jiangtu exclaimed. "Their strength is off!"

"Really?" Zhao Manyan scratched his head. "I didn't notice anything."

Most of the people, like Ai Jiangtu, noticed something was wrong, and after Ai Jiangtu said that, their expressions immediately became serious.

Seeing Zhao Manyan still acting so carefree, Guan Yu couldn't help but sneer:

"You can buy a brain if you don't have one, but we managed to stop three little leaders and their tribes. Don't you find that strange?"

"These Savage Mountain Bears are indeed much weaker than ordinary junior commanders because their souls are incomplete," Bai Mo said at this moment.

"The Divine Dust Tiger possesses some curse-based power, capable of binding souls; that's what he told me."

"Their souls are flawed!" Everyone looked puzzled upon hearing this. Jiang Shaoxu said, "I also feel that their emotions are strange."

"Moo moo moo!!"

"Knock knock knock!!"

She had barely finished speaking when she heard the thunderous mooing of cattle and the rumbling sound of the ground shaking!

The sound came from almost all directions. Bai Mo immediately looked up and saw herds of dark blue cattle running towards them. Electricity flashed as they took their steps, and the herds formed a large swath, as if they were riding on thunderclouds.

At the very front of these azure thunder oxen, giant thunder oxen, each the size of a stadium, galloped about.

"Mysterious Azure Thunder Oxen, these kinds of demons don't have warrior-level members, how is this possible!" Jiang Yu looked at the approaching herd of oxen, a total of seven groups, each led by a commander with more than a hundred warriors.

However, based on his knowledge of demons and monsters, this was very strange, because the adult Xuanqing Thunder Bulls were the leaders, and those warrior-level ones did not seem to be minors.

"Forget about how strange it is, let's think about how to get through this!" Nan Jue said.

Li Kaifeng's lips twitched. They had just gone through a great battle and hadn't had much rest when another group of demons came. How could they possibly withstand this?

Bai Mo's expression was also uncertain. He couldn't figure out how this place was formed. The ground beneath his feet wasn't earth at all, and he couldn't feel anything from his own Spring of Earth.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound entered his mind, like the sound of glass shattering, clear and bright, and instantly made him feel clear-headed.

Bai Mo's heart stirred, and he immediately looked inward at the Void Armor Barrier that was originally protecting his mind, as well as the Origin Wind. He discovered that the wind protecting his mind had dissipated in that instant, and the barrier protecting his mind had also cracked by more than half!

This moment of clarity instantly made Bai Mo realize that something was wrong with where they were. To verify this, he immediately scanned the area and discovered that with the appearance of those Xuanqing Thunder Oxen, the scattered corpses of the Savage Mountain Bears on the ground had all disappeared at some point!

"Can you still see the body?" Bai Mo suddenly asked.

"What corpses? Captain, let's quickly set up a defensive position to hold off the demon horde!" Guan Yu said in surprise.

"The carcass of the wild bear we just killed!"

"Those are all there." Jiang Shaoxu was about to point to a spot where the barbarian bear leader they had just killed lay lying, but he found nothing there!

In an instant, her eyes changed, and her expression became more serious than ever before. Suddenly, the bracelet on her hand emitted a burst of light, and a powerful wave of mental energy spread out at that moment!

As if something had been driven away by her wave of consciousness, in that instant, the bewildered expressions of everyone who couldn't find the corpse of the Savage Mountain Bear suddenly cleared.

"Heart screen!"

The wave of spiritual energy, under the influence of Jiang Shaoxu's bracelet, transformed into a barrier that enveloped everyone. At the same time, Jiang Shaoxu's eyes suddenly became crystal clear, and strands of spiritual light filled her pupils, revealing a gaze that could see through all things in the world.

"Shattering the Illusionary Eyes!"

His gaze swept over the crowd, then over the surrounding area, before vanishing instantly. In that instant, Jiang Shaoxu's face showed extreme exhaustion. She forced herself to speak to Bai Mo:

"Captain, everything around us is an illusion, including those demons. Only their souls are real. To get out, we need to destroy their souls. The core source of those mental illusions lies within the souls of these demons, which is why they seem so real!"

After saying that, she glanced at the mental barrier she had created with her magical artifact and urged, "Hurry, my mental barrier won't last long. This illusion will slowly affect us!"

"good!"

Bai Mo nodded immediately. Now that they had a solution, things were simple. He glanced at everyone.

"You guys hold off the attack from the Azure Thunder Bull herd, I'll use the Soul-Teasing Melody."

"So it's just a large group of barely clinging to life. Go ahead and use your skills, leave the rest to us!" Ai Jiangtu said.

"I cultivate the War Drum, which can empower your spirit!"

As Nan Jue spoke, she immediately began to play the pipa as if she were holding one. The stirring music could also drive away some of the forces that were affecting people's minds, and everyone's expressions became even more excited.

Bai Mo felt a special power gathering around him, and his spiritual power seemed to be able to exert a more powerful effect with the help of this profound power.

"The Soul-Teasing Melody - Heart-Swept!"

As he moved his hands in a series of movements, the seven musical notes instantly transformed into strings, and waves of ethereal sounds resonated throughout the world.

The herd of Azure Thunder Bulls that had surrounded and launched a fierce attack on the group immediately became as still as wooden or clay sculptures under the influence of the soul-dissolving sound waves. Their aura and power dissipated at a visible speed.

At some unknown moment, the group of Xuanlei Azure Oxen completely lost their life force, their forms remaining motionless as they stood around the group.

But in the next moment, these azure thunder oxen suddenly turned into crystalline light and vanished, while in the distance, the sound of a horde of demons galloping could be heard once more.

A realization flashed in Bai Mo's eyes. It seemed that there were definitely more than two kinds of beast souls in this space. This time, they had come from a more powerful Frost Giant Wolf clan, but everyone ignored it.

The melodious and ethereal music continued to play, and the wolves disappeared again before they could even get close.

Playing the Soul-Teasing Melody continuously is an extremely energy-consuming activity, consuming a great deal of magical energy, mental strength, and soul power.

Fortunately, Bai Mo possessed abundant magical energy and some sonic cultivation, and with the help of the Returning to Origin Transformation, he was not afraid. His mental strength was also amplified by Nan Jue, allowing him to hold on, as was his soul power.

Even so, Bai Mo was already struggling to hold on after eliminating the fifth wave of beast souls.

Dangdang Dangdang!

A sound like striking a bell echoed through the air, and another group of demons vanished in a burst of light. Mu Nujiao looked at Bai Mo with some concern; his face was already quite pale.

"It's broken!"

Just then, Nan Jue beside her waved his hand forcefully, as if putting something down.

Looking up, one could see that the surrounding space folded up layer by layer as the distant sound traveled, these folds almost covering the entire sky, and under the reverberation of the sound, these sky-covering folds were instantly torn into huge cracks.

These cracks resemble the patterns on a surface that has been dry for decades, densely packed and crisscrossing, and through these cracks, one can see the magnificent, golden hall outside.

Finally, with a deafening roar that resonated in everyone's hearts, the space they were in shattered completely, turning into a burst of crystalline light and dissipating.

Bai Mo looked around and found that they were still in the same place, seemingly without having moved. However, the spatial fluctuations around him and his own greatly depleted state told him that what he had just experienced was definitely not a mere illusion.

"Finally out!" Zhao Manyan twisted his neck.

"Look, those paintings on the ceiling," Jiang Shaoxu said, pointing to the ceiling.

Bai Mo looked up and saw that they had entered the space after discovering the anomaly at the ceiling, and that space seemed to be inextricably linked to the ceiling.

Above a white sky, five sacred and majestic demons, exuding extraordinary power, were depicted, lifelike in their depiction. They were the very same demons they had encountered in the previous space.

However, the paintings on the ceiling appeared to be far more powerful than the demons in the space.

"Why are demons painted on the ceiling, and why are they subtly guarding the coffin? Could they be the contracted beasts of the tomb's owner?" Mu Nujiao wondered.

"I think so. Although a summoning mage can theoretically only have three pets, pets can also die in battle, and when one dies, another will take its place," Jiang Yu said.

"Now that the dangers are over, let's look for any useful treasures and the Secret Realm Nexus."

Zhao Manyan didn't care how the thing that had trapped them had managed to do it; his eyes lit up as he looked at the things placed on the square stone platform around the huge coffin in the center of the tomb.

"It's time to reap the rewards."

Guan Yu surprisingly agreed with Zhao Manyan's statement and walked towards a stone platform.

The coffin was enormous, measuring nine meters long and four meters wide, and its square stone platform was equally large, covering an area of ​​three cubic meters.

There was naturally more than one item on it, and the group did not separate, but came together to the stone platform at the front.

"This appears to be a vessel for containing spirits."

"Is this beast blood? No, it's purified beast blood, something from ancient times." Jiang Yu picked up a bottle, smelled it, and then put it down in disgust. It was all expired stuff.

"It seems like these are only useful for summoning classes!"

Guan Yu held a blade of grass in his hand, which shimmered with moonlight. It was something that summoned beasts ate, and it could be of some use to the Shadow Mage, though not much.

"We can sell them even if we don't need them." Mu Nujiao picked up a few seeds, which looked like magic potions for her contracted beasts.

"Huh! The moon shines brightly in the sky!"

Bai Mo picked up the bottle placed in the center, opened it, and looked inside. It was a viscous, moon-white radiance, almost like water. Almost the instant it was opened, a clear and warm feeling enveloped everyone.

"The Moon Shines Brightly in the Sky!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately looked up, his eyes fixed on the bottle in Bai Mo's hand, and shamelessly asked:

"Captain, how much do you have? Can you share some with me? I don't need anything else!"

Celestial Moon Essence is formed from moonlight crystals that condense outside the celestial realm and fall into the magical world; it is extremely rare. It is of great use to both summoning mages and contracted beasts!

"Three cubic meters!"

Bai Mo probed into the thought, knowing how attractive this thing was to summoning mages.

Therefore, monopolizing it is definitely not an option, otherwise how can the team be led? Moreover, befriending Jiang Yu is equivalent to befriending Pang Lai, a summoner at the near-forbidden spell level, whose power should not be underestimated.

"I'll give you one portion, and I'll keep the rest. You can divide the rest of the food on this table among yourselves."

Bai Mo glanced at the stone platform and found quite a few good things, including three well-preserved ancient beast battle spirits, although they were only sub-commanders.

Although battle spirits can only be used to strengthen contracted beasts, they can still be sold for a small profit. Moreover, there are also precious ores and rare materials on the platform.

After everyone had made their choices, they headed to the stone platform on the left.

"The Crystal of the Soul! I knew there was more here!"

When Jiang Shaoxu saw the Crystal of the Soul placed in the very center of the table, her eyes widened slightly.

"It's useless for cultivation, but this thing is quite valuable. How about you divide it up, and I'll keep the rest?"

"OK!"

Lu Yilin immediately said that although the Lu family's business had been bad in recent years, he still didn't care about the things here, since they couldn't directly benefit him and he had to sell them.

Mu Tingying glanced at the table and saw that in addition to the Mind Crystal, there were some records of Mind-based secret techniques, which she could copy. Besides these, there were some magical tools, magical artifacts, and some materials.

So he nodded slightly, picked out the largest piece and took it, saying, "I'll make up for the rest with money."

She didn't need this, but if she gave it to the family, she would definitely get a lot of support, she thought to herself.

Bai Mo also took one, and then chose a necklace that amplifies mental magic, intending to give it to Leng Qing later.

Afterwards, the group arrived at the stone platform at the back, which contained spatial elements.

The group has figured out that most of the burial objects here are related to the magic system of the tomb's owner.

There are very few cultivation resources for the spatial system. Most of what's here are spatial minerals and materials, and about half of them are spatial essences that are useful for improving cultivation. Unfortunately, there are no mind stones.

So Bai Mo and Ai Jiangtu divided the spatial essence equally, and gave the rest to the others.

Upon reaching the last stone platform, the items here become more common, all being earth-based.

Spirit seeds, fragments of soul seeds, magical artifacts, and a bead placed in the very center that should be the most valuable, but which no one noticed.

It's also possible that the truly valuable items were taken away by the mages from the Three Kingdoms who came to inspect the area earlier.

"There are some restrictions on this, it might be the hub of a secret realm. It seems that it needs to have the same four magical energies as the tomb owner to be activated." Nan Jue studied it for a while and finally came to the answer.

"Give it a try!" (End of Chapter)
