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

Bai Mo did not disturb the family's reunion. After learning the location where the earth-type celestial seed mentioned in the secret order was stored and guarded, he left.

After a month's rest, he still has many things to learn.

A month has passed, and many things should have settled down by now, so it's time to get to know them.

Another thing is to go to Xuan Kong Pavilion. I need Xiang Xuewu from Lan Yang Academy to lead the way. It's easier to get things done if you know someone there.

On the way, he made phone calls to Lingling, Nanjue, Leng Qing, and Shao Zheng's secretary-general, Gu Jian, to gather information about the situation in the Northwest and the coastal areas.

Back in his study at Xiaoshan Manor, Bai Mo immediately logged into his email and began browsing intelligence.

First, there's the seaside. The coastline of Shanghai and its surrounding areas extends an average of five kilometers. Although it's not much, it's enough to support a massive fan-shaped naval city.

This truly fortified a bridgehead fortress facing the Pacific Ocean. This area is now known as White Sand New Land, and during this time, thanks to the hollow willows guarding it, no sea monsters dared to approach.

Thus, the entire region has been stabilized. Although Bai Mo is not yet clear about the magic of the scepter fragment sponsored by the Pharaoh, he is confident that it can support a solid coastline.

Thanks to the sandfall, the number of casualties caused by the rising sea level was very small, and most of the sea monsters that came with the tide were scared away.

Although compared to the entire 20,000-kilometer coastline, this part of Shanghai and even the East China Sea is just a drop in the ocean, it's still much better than a complete collapse.

Confidence is built up gradually, and time can be gradually built up.

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the intelligence in the Northwest.

The Taklamakan Desert has shrunk by a large area, the main problem being the demon tribes that inhabited it.

After being wiped out by Bai Mo, a large portion of the tribes and clans that once lined up in the desert perished, almost half of them.

The rest have hidden in the deep sand and the center of the desert. It is estimated that for a long time, these sand monsters of the Northwest will be hard to find on the outskirts of the desert.

A prime example is the dust storm demons, a group of demons that had no ability to resist the cataclysmic sandstorms and all became part of them.

Overall, the danger level in the west has been lowered, making it suitable for development, and development is currently being planned.

Given the significant advantages of the western region, it is bound to be developed as part of a backup plan.

Bai Mo was fairly satisfied with this; at least his efforts hadn't been in vain.

Setting aside these broader gains for the moment, he turned his attention to his main gains.

They killed many demons along the way, but most of them were servants. During the time he led Sha Yun, he had no energy to collect essences and relied on the passive ability of the Soul Refining Pot.

Therefore, after nearly half of the demons on the surface of the desert were wiped out, he only managed to collect a little over ten thousand spirits.

Most of them were slaves, and Bai Mo decided to leave those for later. The focus was on the harvest of souls on the battlefield of the undead.

The spirit of the Sphinx—this is a supreme monarch not much weaker than the corpse of the mountain.

This is also the second Supreme Realm Monarch Essence that Bai Mo has obtained so far.

Even when placed inside the Soul Refining Pot, the powerful earth element and curse power emanating from that essence is still awe-inspiring at a glance.

This compatibility is perfect for oranges.

He decided to wait until the giant orange had undergone a transformation through war and slaughter before feeding the Sphinx.

Lions and tigers are both felines, a match made in heaven!

Just then, his phone rang. Bai Mo glanced at it and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Hello, Speaker, is this a gift for me?"

"You're really not being polite."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle being too polite."

Shao Zheng paused for a moment, then said instead, "I've already warned you about the Mu family's matter. You possess power beyond forbidden spells, but you won't join the Forbidden Spell Society, so don't worry about that."

"Of course I'm at ease." Bai Mo naturally understood how valuable and useful a low-level but high-combat-power henchman was.

However, comparing himself to a henchman is not entirely accurate; at least he can now make one or two moves on the chessboard.

"But what does the Grand Speaker want with me? I just got my phone back and you're already calling. Even a mouse in my house doesn't have that good hearing."

"I heard it from that old geezer Ai Hongzhi, hehe." Shao Zheng chuckled, then continued, "Our reward for you is a set of magical artifacts, all forged from the strange bones of the Void Serpent Lord. Don't look down on it."

"A monarch-level set?!" Bai Mo raised an eyebrow. It was indeed a priceless set of equipment, but he felt that the dragon armor was more imposing.

Unfortunately, true dragons are rare in this world, and every single one is incredibly powerful and unapproachable.

However, this was Shao Zheng's attitude, and even more so the organization's attitude, so Bai Mo naturally wouldn't mind.

Who would complain about having too many items? Using magical artifacts doesn't come at a price.

"Thank you, Speaker. I happen to be in need of a suitable set of equipment."

"Well, the set is still being forged and will be sent to Xiaoshan in a while. Now let's get down to business."

Shao Zheng's voice became solemn, and his serious expression could be seen even through the phone.

"The commander of Zhenbei Pass said you captured Leng Jue and took him away. Is he dead?"

"No, I imprisoned him in the Abyss of Evil."

Bai Mo raised an eyebrow and immediately understood what Shao Zheng meant.

"Speaker, what do you intend to do with him? Interrogation probably won't yield any results."

"I'd like to trade him to the Holy Tribunal. What do you think? You and Mo Fan captured Leng Jue, so I respect your opinion."

"Grand Speaker, may I ask what you wish to exchange for the Holy Judgment Council?"

"With the support of some priests, Mo Fan was able to pass through the court smoothly. There has been too much negative news around the world lately, so we can also use this news to boost the morale of us humans."

"Speaker, I feel there's absolutely no need for that," Bai Mo said outright.

"First, the priests protect the interests of the Holy City, as you know. They won't have much of a red-robed reputation left after dividing it up; it's useless for important matters and unnecessary for minor ones. Besides, most of them harbor prejudice against the Nine Provinces."

Secondly, they didn't know anything about Mo Fan's condition, so they didn't dare to do anything to him. The so-called summons and investigation was just disgusting.

Third, the Holy Tribunal can execute those in red robes to boost morale; why can't we? The Holy Tribunal's reputation is already on the verge of collapse, Grand Speaker. I have my own judicial organization myself.”

"You want to rebuild another Holy Tribunal?" Shao Zheng's voice came with shock and astonishment.

"I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to build a reputation for Xinghuo.com and promote its prestige. Xinghuo.com needs this right now, and so does Kyushu."

Bai Mo wouldn't give up his valuable resources to support a potential enemy. Besides, according to the original timeline, these fools would have inevitably run into trouble and let Leng Jue go.

If he could get his hands on Leng Jue, he might even be able to get Salang, since the Former Palace also had a big shot from the Black Vatican.

But Bai Mo learned through Jiang Yu's channels that the guy had heard some rumors and had already run away.

After listening to Bai Mo's words, Shao Zheng pondered for a long time. He realized that the favor from the Holy Judgment Court was not something he had to do.

He was simply considering the possibility of replacing the Holy Tribunal.

This is difficult, but we can try to separate the trial system from the world system, and then separate the organization of the Magic Association as well.

"I agree, but only if you want to replace the Holy Tribunal."

"Ahem, Grand Speaker, don't slander me out of thin air. When did I say I wanted to replace the Holy Tribunal? I don't have that kind of guts."

"You'd better not," Shao Zheng said irritably, then hung up the phone. He had a lot of things to do.

Putting down her phone, Bai Mo continued planning for her next stage of goals.

The first priority, of course, is to improve one's cultivation level. Thinking of this, he thought of Jiaoyue, who had finally reached her elemental tribulation and was due to level up.

He said that the Elemental Holy Spirit is still an Elemental Holy Spirit, and this cannot be faked, so why hasn't the Elemental Tribulation arrived yet?

That's easy to handle. Just go to Leizhou, get through the Elemental Tribulation, and with Jiaoyue's accumulated power, you can directly enter the advancement stage. Prepare some Elemental Soul Seeds in advance as the accumulation needed for advancement.

However, things should be done one step at a time. Judging from Da Ju's aura, his advancement should be in the next few days.

Logically, it should have advanced long ago, but its summoning ability was blocked recently, causing it to get stuck due to the contract.

Once Da Ju enters the monarch's realm, first go to Lanyang to meet Xiang Xuewu, then head to Xuankong Pavilion, and then enter Leizhou.

While I'm at it, I'll check where the totem of the last token I have is buried.

Having made up his mind, he immediately went outside to the courtyard and announced his plan to everyone.

"Aren't you going to rest for a couple of days? At least bring the hollow willow back. It's been there for a while now. If it doesn't come back soon, the surrounding navy won't dare to approach that territory," Lingling said.

"I've already brought him back; he's in the back hill now."

As a totem guardian, connecting with one's own totem is incredibly simple.

After waking up, Bai Mo took the time to notify the big willow tree to come back.

"When are you planning to leave?" Lingling asked, then turned to the question that interested her.

If it weren't for the fact that the hollow willow tree standing by the sea was so enormous that even without emitting any energy, it would still be terrifying to the people in that area.

This has caused considerable and persistent panic, resulting in numerous recent complaints, which Lingling will not mention.

"Let's wait a few days, I'll prepare some things."

Bai Mo gave a brief instruction, snapped his fingers, and a flash of silver lightning enveloped him before he vanished from the spot.

Arriving at the largest auction house in Shanghai, I looked at the auction items and found that there were several auctions featuring lightning-type soul seeds.

Bai Mo participated in all of them and photographed all the soul seeds. None of them were natural soul seeds.

I had just paid when my phone rang again.

"Hey, Patriarch Bai, what's the matter?"

"Come to the family; we need to speak with you."

"Okay!"

Bai Mo smiled politely at the cashier, then vanished from the spot, disappearing back home in a few flashes and entering the study with practiced ease.

He then saw two other people standing in the room besides him: Bai Hongfei and Bai Zangfeng.

Raising an eyebrow, Bai Mo asked with a hint of surprise, "What is it? I have something to do."

"The Northwest is undergoing development, and everything is in need of rebuilding. Opportunities and dangers coexist. With the arrival of the sea monsters, the family also needs a way out."

The head of the Bai family slowly spoke, "The Northwest is a good place; you have a solid foundation there."

At this point, he glanced at Bai Mo, and then his gaze fell on Bai Hongfei and Bai Zangfeng.

"The family needs a member to join the Northwest Military Region as a military mage. Who among you will go?"

Both of them had already graduated and were originally traveling around, either joining some kind of investment group or looking for opportunities to improve their abilities.

They've all been summoned back by the Bai family head.

"Damn it!" Bai Zangfeng stepped forward, looking straight ahead, his former arrogance long gone.

Upon hearing this, the Bai family head nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Mo and slowly said,

"The development of the west is not a simple matter. The western military also sought help from social forces, and everyone worked together to build the city. The more merits one has, the more territory one possesses, and the more control one has over the resources of the northwest."

"The family hopes you will build a city!"

Bai Mo rolled her eyes. "I don't have that ability!"

"The construction of the city base will be handled by Hongfei. You just need to take care of acquiring a piece of land."

"I did such a big thing, I carved out the entire Northwest, and I didn't get a single piece of land?" Bai Mo glared.

"Nobody knows, and even if we take it illegitimately, at least we can do some things on the surface. If others give it to us smoothly, and we take it openly, then there won't be any complaints when we run the business later. Some good locations can't just be given to you like that."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo nodded in agreement, indicating that he would simply go and eliminate some demons.

They also realized that the Bai family head was dividing up the eggs.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Hongfei and nodded slightly. "Hongfei, go ahead first. I'll be there later to take care of some things."

The Bai family head didn't say anything about this; the development plan had only just begun, so a day or two wouldn't make a difference.

Not everyone has Bai Mo's strength.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After Bai Mo finished speaking, his figure immediately disappeared.

Both Bai Hongfei and Bai Hongfei looked on with envy.

Bai Mo did not return to Xiaoshan, but instead came to the Xinghuo.com headquarters next to the Mingzhu New Campus at the foot of the mountain.

With a flash of silver light, he appeared. Leng Qing raised his head, a smile on his face.

"What brings you here today?"

"I've come to see my wife."

"Who's your wife?" Leng Qing said irritably.

"Whoever answers me is the one." Bai Mo said, already behind him, placing his hands on his shoulders and gently pressing them.

"Ha, bigamy is illegal."

"Who dares to accuse this official?" Bai Mo stared, looking strange.

Leng Qing was too lazy to argue with him, so she leaned her weight on the back of the chair, squinted her eyes and enjoyed the massage from this brat, and slowly said:

"What do you want?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?"

"When have you ever come here for no reason?"

Hearing these words tinged with a hint of resentment, Bai Mo quickly said, "I miss Qingqing, can't I come and see her?"

"Heh." Leng Qing let out a disbelieving sneer, but her face softened first, blossoming into a gentle, spring-like smile.

"You're so good at talking."

Bai Mo moved his hand imperceptibly, casually saying, "Last time you told me that Xinghuo.com lacked the foundation of public support and credibility."

"Well, this can't be rushed. The Tribunal has taken a century to reach its current status."

"I just discussed it with the Speaker of the House."

"Um?"

"With Leng Jue in our hands, Xinghuo.com's public execution of a red-clad figure has already garnered considerable prestige."

Leng Qing suddenly widened her eyes and straightened her back.

She had never thought about this matter. The most likely place to deal with Leng Jue was the former palace.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mo actually managed to get this power to Xinghuo.com.

"This matter cannot be rushed. We need to bring Leng Jue to Shanghai first."

Leng Qing pulled Bai Mo's hand out of her collar, her face flushed, whether from excitement or something else was unclear.

She quickly calmed down and said slowly, "Let Yu Mian come with me."

"Suit yourself, I don't care about any of that. You should know better than me how to maximize the effect."

Bai Mo continued massaging the shoulders while speaking slowly.

"But we've solved such a big problem, shouldn't the comrade reward us?"

"What reward do you want?" Leng Qing looked up at him, her eyes filled with a smile.

"Hehe, I want to be a criminal for once."

Bai Mo lowered his head and gently kissed Leng Qing's red lips, then appeared in a room inside the villa with Leng Qing still wearing her work clothes in his arms.

"Qingqing, put on a cold expression. Everyone's saying I'm a criminal."

"Yes, that's exactly how someone looks when they're being coerced."

In the bedroom, the cold and elegant prosecutor—no, the presiding judge—knelt on the floor, stammering.

His cool face held a hint of displeasure and resignation, his clothes half-undone. The onlookers' blood boiled; the criminals wished they could execute him on the spot.

My sister is the best. Although she didn't want to wear the formal judge's uniform, she felt much better in the special ancient female warrior outfit that Bai Mo prepared for her.

Her delicate, aloof eyebrows furrowed, and an aura of pitiful vulnerability coupled with unwavering determination and a willingness to endure hardship immediately arose.

My older sister isn't very skilled at playing musical instruments, so I should buy her more Green Tongue ice cream to help cool her down.

Fortunately, my older sister is smart and gentle.

After glancing at the female knight, Bai Mo quickly changed his mind and took a long time to return to his office with Leng Qing.

"What, is that all the criminals can do? They don't dare lay a hand on this chivalrous woman?"

"I will unlock it step by step," Bai Mo said with a smile.

"Small in stature but big in wisdom."

"Whether I'm little or not, my older sister already knows."

"Get out of here, I still have work to do." Leng Qing wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, he acted like a heartless customer who had just finished with his john, shooing people away.

Bai Mo shrugged, and since he could indeed sense several people waiting outside the door, he didn't say anything more and his figure disappeared.

Upon returning to the manor, he immediately sought out Lingling and announced the Bai family head's mission.

"It seems our Mu family was involved in this matter, but it has nothing to do with me."

Mu Nujiao spoke up at this moment. As one of the few direct descendants of the Mu family who had reached the highest level, she had heard about some major events.

"The Western Development Project has also attracted applications from hunter groups. If we participate, we can earn a lot of points."

Lingling was searching for relevant information on the computer when she said,

"Registration is now open, and I've registered you. However, there aren't any tasks yet in the dedicated task section. It should take a few more days, which should be enough time for us to go to Xuan Kong Pavilion."

"I've compiled data on the distribution of elements, topography, and resource mining prediction maps in the eastern part of Northwest China over the years, and I'll create a detailed report."

"At that time, we will purposefully capture and occupy several key areas and hand them over to the military. This should be enough to help you exchange for a considerable amount of territory you desire."

"You decide what to do. I'm not in a hurry. We can decide when we get there."

As Bai Mo spoke, he raised his eyebrows, sensing the unusual nature of the Milky Way. He immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state of introspection.

The Earth Star River was seen expanding continuously, like a tiger charging down a mountain, constantly expanding its territory.

Da Ju broke through, much faster than he expected.

It seems my special condition really made it hold back for quite a while.

Just then, a sense of resentment was transmitted through the contract, and Bai Mo quickly offered words of comfort.

The newly purchased lightning-type soul seed was sent into the contract space all at once, indicating that preparations were underway for the little one to break through.

I'm just too busy right now and can't find the time.

To show his importance, he immediately took one-third of the commander-level essence from the Demon Refining Pot and fed it to the Thunder Star River, which finally calmed Jiao Yue down.

The Milky Way had transformed into a sea of ​​stars, and now his Milky Way consisted of only one lightning element, which made Bai Mo quite embarrassed.

After calmly sensing, he found that no earth-elemental transcendent power had been generated, which did not surprise him, as Feng Ling had not generated any when he broke through.

One major advantage of Earth-type characters reaching the Super-Tier is that they will no longer lack mana most of the time.

Especially after he completely transforms the Spring Stone and buries it in various parts of Kyushu, he will be even less afraid of the problem of magic energy consumption.

Because at that time, as long as there is a Spring Stone to act as a relay connecting the earth, his Spring Ground Agreement will be effective even if he is in the sky.

The only drawback is the range. If you are too far from the area covered by the spring stone, the signal will be poor or even non-existent.

There will be no signal and no backup, so he can't be too reckless when he goes abroad in the future.

Bai Mo immediately planted a spring stone on Xiaoshan Mountain.

The stone resembles an octahedron, the size of a human head, and is similar to an ordinary handicraft. No living being, except its owner, would notice the stone's strangeness.

One spring stone can be gathered from a constellation, meaning a maximum of seven.

Bai Mo first condensed the remaining six, intending to bury them along the way.

Seven stones could probably cover the entire Kyushu region, but there would actually be a delay.

After finishing these tasks, Bai Mo explained to everyone what he had been doing.

"The location of the secret realm where the Earth-type Celestial Seed you just obtained is in the northeast, which doesn't match our route. Do you want to go retrieve the Celestial Seed first?"

"Let's settle things in the Northwest first." Bai Mo wasn't worried about the Heavenly Seed, as it was personally given to him by Commander Ai.

The Ai family has never broken their promises before, at least Bai Mo has never heard of such a thing.

His earth element is Seed Devourer, so he cannot be sure how long it will take him to absorb the Heavenly Seed.

The only reference is Mo Fan's earth-type celestial seed in the original work, which also evolved from a seed devourer.

Lingling nodded upon hearing this, and soon a route was successfully planned.

Big Orange is making rapid progress, so they can set off soon.

Ding Yumin stayed behind to help Leng Qing. This time, the group traveled light and took a high-speed train to Lanyang City.

However, there are still four people: Bai Mo, Mu Nujiao, Lingling, and a golden retriever.

"Bai Mo, can I really surpass that bastard Mo Fan? It's not appropriate for a high-level player like me to get involved in your battles between super-level beings," Zhao Manyan said with a bitter face.

"You still don't have confidence in me?" Bai Mo glanced at him sideways. "I know of a totem that shares the same origin as Baxia. It's dead, and you can absorb its source power, which will be enough to help you break through."

"real?!"

"It's fake!" Bai Mo said calmly, waiting for the other man's face to fall before adding, "If you haven't even reached the peak of the high-level realm, stop daydreaming. Focus on protecting Lingling." (End of Chapter)
