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

Zhao Manyan no longer had the confidence he had when he said he would help Bai Mo hold him off for a while. He looked around in fear.

They were all black, strange birds, numbering at least ten thousand, which covered the entire sky. They could only see their surroundings by relying on the light.

"All right."

Seeing that Mu Nujiao and the other two women were also looking around nervously, as if they had a phobia of clusters, Bai Mo shrugged and put the gem he had just taken down back.

"Why haven't they left yet?!" Jiang Yu stammered. If he had known that Bai Mo's experiment would be this exciting, he wouldn't have stayed here.

"Won't it get ruined?"

Bai Mo expressed his guess, firmly believing that the wheels of history keep turning and there is nothing new under the sun. Therefore, he took many things lightly. Could it be that no one in history has ever been curious enough to do something similar to him?

Moreover, he had an even more brilliant idea, but he couldn't put it into practice because Mu Nujiao and the others were there and he was afraid of endangering their safety.

"No way! Bai Mo, could you teleport us out of this encirclement? Even if they don't disappear, I don't want to stay here anymore!"

Zhao Manyan hurriedly said, "An army of ten thousand is already as vast as a mountain and as deep as the sea, let alone more than ten thousand demons who are many times larger than humans!"

"Bai Mo summoned too many black birds in his experiment just now. Perhaps the system here needs some time to react, or they are disappearing, but we just can't tell yet."

Nan Jue stated his speculation, but Jiang Shaoxu suddenly closed his eyes. A wave swept over him, and he finally asked with some confusion:

"Strange, I suddenly sensed some mental fluctuations emanating from them."

"What?!" Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhao Manyan's terrified scream.

"Stop yelling and let me finish." Jiang Shaoxu glanced at Zhao Manyan with some disdain, thinking that she was even less daring than Zhao Manyan. "This mental fluctuation is very weak, like a tree in a forest or a single-celled organism."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shaoxu glanced at Bai Mo with a strange look in her eyes.

"Perhaps they're just making sure we won't keep taking the gems up and down and playing with them anymore, before they disappear."

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely be able to lead you away."

Bai Mo calmly observed the strange black birds, showing no embarrassment at his earlier actions. "We'll leave once they disappear."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to live in fear and anxiety.

Bai Mo remained silent in thought. In fact, after the experiment just now, he was basically certain that the Nazca Lines should be a special magical mechanism, or rather, a complex and massive array.

With his knowledge, it was certainly impossible for him to analyze this formation, but the function of this mechanism was easy to see.

That is to guard the gems in these patterns, because neither the grass in the geoglyphs nor the symbols dropped after killing the strange bird have any intention of being retrieved.

Most of these gems were located at the eyes of the creatures depicted in the geoglyphs, and they were all looking in the direction of the Eye of Time and Space. This made Bai Mo ponder the relationship between the Eye of Time and Space and this geoglyph.

He always had a feeling that perhaps only by coming into contact with the Eye of Time and Space could he discover the secrets of this place.

After the black bird retreated, they discovered that the sun was rising from the eastern horizon. The group exchanged glances and returned to meet up with Pro and Aijiangtu.

After some investigation, they learned that the place with the giant storm was not far from the city; to be precise, the city of Hammi was closer to it.

Mo Fan would arrive in two days. Therefore, they decided to set off tomorrow, but before that, they needed to go to Hami today.

"Long time no see, you didn't even give me a hug!" Mo Fan said to the group of National Government members as he entered the stylish-looking tavern.

"We don't miss you that much, Zhao Manyan. Why don't you go comfort him? Hehehe." Jiang Shaoxu sat in the booth and glanced at Zhao Manyan next to her.

"Nonsense! I'm not interested in men!" Zhao Manyan's face darkened.

"What a coincidence, me too, especially some of those flashy, cunning dogs."

Although Mo Fan didn't know why the usually generous and enthusiastic Jiang Fox wasn't so enthusiastic anymore, it didn't stop him from lecturing his son in a fatherly tone.

"What's wrong with you, newbie? You're so loud and boisterous as soon as you arrive. Don't you know how to speak properly and greet your seniors?" Before Zhao Manyan could retort, Lu Yilin next to him exploded and stood up to scold Mo Fan.

Lu Yilin was almost bursting with frustration during this period. Not only had he made no progress with Jiang Shaoxu, but Mu Tingying also looked down on the Lu family. In the team, he remained a nobody because of Bai Mo.

A few days ago, he saw Zhao Manyan sporting blond hair and thought it looked pretty good and eye-catching, so he got brown hair too. Now, when he heard the new member making sarcastic remarks about his look, he immediately exploded.

Bai Mo glanced at Jiang Shaoxu. Because of his long-term interaction with the mind-based mage, he felt something was off. Was this a scapegoat?

"Captain, you're peeping at people again." Jiang Shaoxu smiled and brought over a glass of wine to sit down. "I caught you, Jiaojiao, what are we going to do about it?"

"I can't control him, why don't you gouge out his eyes?" Mu Nujiao glanced at Jiang Shaoxu, somewhat helplessly.

"Don't do this, Jiaojiao. You used to be so considerate." Bai Mo feigned pitifulness.

"Hmph~, serves you right for not being able to control your eyes."

"You can't blame me for that. It's all because of this bad seat. It has to face that way. Why don't you just smash this seat?" Bai Mo said seriously.

"No need, Captain can watch if he wants, I don't mind," Jiang Shaoxu chuckled.

Bai Mo glanced at her, then at the two people who were about to fight, and abruptly changed the subject, "Those two are about to fight, go and make them stop."

The feud between Lu Yilin and Mo Fan ultimately began by a twist of fate.

"You mean, you're preparing to explore that place with the strange phenomena of wind and thunder?"

During their casual conversation, the topic turned to the storm phenomenon that everyone had previously inquired about. Mo Fan couldn't help but ask, as he sensed that his Condensed Evil Pearl was also reacting in that direction.

"That's right, it's located in the middle of a desert. It's said that there's a ruined city there, accessible only by a narrow valley in the desert. We're going to explore it." Bai Mo nodded.

"We've already gathered information, but the only difficulty is that there's a group of stone elemental creatures in that canyon. They're tough, incredibly strong, and that's a problem, as our destructive power isn't enough," Ai Jiangtu said. "And if we try to fly, we'll be hindered by the Sun Black Bats, who are equally troublesome."

Although Bai Mo was present, they mostly excluded him from their combat strength calculations because their mentor said he didn't want to see anyone slacking off.

Often, if you're not strong enough, flying in the land of demons is the most dangerous thing, because the eyes of demons within a radius of dozens of miles will lock onto you like searchlights.

"Haha, I knew this place couldn't do without me!" Mo Fan immediately perked up, then asked, "Is there really treasure there?"

"You can feel the fluctuations of wind and lightning elements inside even from dozens of miles away. What do you think?" Jiang Yu said. "We even suspect that there might be soul seeds inside."

"Besides, you're not actually that important. We just don't want to rely too much on Bai Mo, otherwise we'll feel embarrassed to share the spoils later."

Nan Jue casually retorted, "Another thing is to create an elemental instrument that can alter the fluctuations of the earth."

"Those stone elemental demons have no eyes or ears; they rely on their extremely keen sense of the ground. With this, we can walk through their territory without disturbing them. However, the elemental devices need to be set up by someone, like a tangram puzzle. Multiple elemental devices need to be set up before we can walk..."

The principle behind Nan Jue's instrument is actually quite simple: the two element instruments emit weak ground waves, making the surface structure more stable and preventing any fluctuations caused by people's footsteps.

Those stone elements are extremely sensitive to the earth; even a kitten walking across them will awaken them.

……

After leaving Hanmi City, the group headed towards the Gobi Valley.

"This is it!"

Guan Yu stood proudly in front of the Gobi Valley, but did not take another step forward. He had come here to explore a few days ago and almost lost his life here.

He knew all too well how troublesome the guys inside were.

Upon entering the Gobi Valley, the geology changed noticeably. It was no longer the dry, orange-yellow color, but instead showed some red, and the entire Gobi Valley turned a dark red!

In fact, the formation of this Gobi Valley is quite spectacular.

The vast land is divided into two layers. To the west, it rises abruptly, revealing a continuous cliff parallel to the horizon. The cliff is like a magnificent city wall, blocking the originally flat terrain and seemingly dividing it into another world.

The high-altitude ground was scorching hot rock, intensely baked by the sun, with an astonishingly high temperature. Even high-level mages felt as if they were walking on flames, making it absolutely difficult to pass through.

The only area with a slightly normal temperature is that long canyon, where sunlight cannot reach, so the temperature is much lower than the upper ground.

The ancient city of ruins is located on the other side of this entire raised high-altitude land, an ancient sacred land that is almost isolated from the world and protected by the scorching Longping Mountain. This kind of place, which has never been explored by anyone and is even difficult for demons to enter, is most likely to give birth to treasures of heaven and earth!

This is also the main reason why everyone has been lingering here for so many days.

"There are only three elemental instruments in total, and they are 100 meters apart. So we need someone to lay the elemental instruments forward and someone to retrieve them so that we can continue," Nan Jue instructed everyone.

"I'll take the first step." Bai Mo took the elemental instrument from Nan Jue's hand.

"Yes, your spatial magic won't disturb them," Nan Jue nodded.

"Then I'll take the next baton," Ai Jiangtu said.

Nan Jue had no objection to this; having two high-level space-type beings in the team was already a very good situation.

"Can't we just use our thoughts to send the elemental device to the front?" Mo Fan asked.

"No, this element instrument needs to be manually calibrated. Different geological conditions require different frequencies," Nan Jue said seriously.

Nan Jue first buried an elemental device, which resembled a spinning top, at the entrance of the Gobi Valley. After manually adjusting it, she signaled to Bai Mo that they could set off once the device began to flash green light.

Bai Mo floated out like a silver painted curtain around him. Mo Fan did not feel any spatial fluctuations and watched as he appeared a hundred meters in front of the Gobi Valley.

With his feet levitating, Bai Mo's feet were only a finger's width from the ground. He crouched down and buried the elemental device, which was the only thing that disturbed the ground.

Accompanied by a clattering sound, eerie sounds immediately arose from both sides of the stone walls on the orange-red land of the Gobi Valley, and stone faces emerged on the walls, becoming more and more three-dimensional.

Then, Bai Mo manipulated the pointer on the elemental instrument until it emitted a green light, causing the stone demons that had appeared around him to retreat.

Bai Mo gestured, indicating that they could proceed, and the group then walked forward with peace of mind.

Mo Fan watched this scene without finding the stone demons particularly sensitive. Bai Mo did it very easily. If it weren't for the final press of the elemental instrument into the ground, the surrounding guys probably wouldn't have known that a new person had suddenly appeared in their territory.

It wasn't until he saw Ai Jiangtu install the second elemental device that he was able to summon all the stone monsters around him. The number of them was enough to form several nests, enough to surround them like a city wall.

Only then did I realize just how powerful the White Ink Space Link truly was, and how dangerous these stone demons were.

If his current spatial system is an ancient wooden stick, Ai Jiangtu's is an ancient high-end ironware, and Bai Mo's is modern steel bars. They are all so powerful that they cannot be compared at all.

"These are Forbidden Moon Stone Demons from the Stone Elemental, each possessing the strength of a Lesser Warrior. They dislike moonlight. We originally considered using the moonlight to our advantage at night, but unfortunately, this Gobi Valley is too narrow, and being in the Southern Hemisphere, the moon's movement makes it difficult for moonlight to penetrate here. No wonder so many Forbidden Moon Stone Demons reside here."

Jiang Yu was a fan of demons and monsters. Seeing Mo Fan's puzzled expression, as if he had never seen such a demon before, he immediately explained it to him.

He did the same thing throughout his journey; whenever he encountered a demon, he would be the first to reveal its information. If the demon had a family tree, he might even recite it from memory.

Bai Mo silently guessed from the side, then immediately disappeared and went to release the elemental device a hundred meters away.

The journey was peaceful until they reached a corner where they had to remove an elemental device before they could put it down.

So Mo Fan, who was left behind, went to get it.

As expected, an accident occurred. Lu Yilin, due to a few words of argument, was about to directly alarm the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon and kill Mo Fan right there.

"Aren't you going to apologize?"

"What are you apologizing for?"

"Hehe, what do you think?"

Bai Mo led the National Government staff to stand behind the corner. The Elemental Instrument was placed a hundred meters away, but they did not move forward. They listened quietly to the argument. When they saw Ai Jiangtu about to go out to stop him, Bai Mo reached out and stopped him.

"Listen again, and see what he's capable of." (End of Chapter)
