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

After receiving the well token from the military mages in the fortress city, Bai Mo stayed in the northwest for a few more days.

Only after confirming that the Bai family's construction in Yunshan City was on track did he return to Shanghai.

"Brother Mo, hehe, now you can tell me the location of that totem related to Baxia, right?"

On the plane, Zhao Manyan leaned in and said.

"In the sea near Xu Island in the vicinity of Wanggui Town, there is the sea beast Ao Fu, the ancestor of all sea beasts."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan was overjoyed, but then his face suddenly fell.

Bai Mo said, "However, there is a group of demons there. Their leader is a sub-monarch level being. But you don't need to worry about that monarch, because its minions are enough to kill you."

"Hehe~"

Zhao Manyan gave a stiff laugh, realizing for a moment that the joke was really lame, and that Bai Mo didn't need to say the last sentence.

"Brother, you're my brother, okay?! Stop talking, what will it take for me to see Father Ao?"

"You've reached the high-level perfection of Light-based magic?"

There was no answer. After sensing something slightly, Bai Mo asked.

"Almost there."

"What about the water system?"

"It's still a little short."

"Then what's the rush? When you've reached perfection, I'll take you to clear the dungeon."

As soon as Bai Mo boarded the subway heading to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, he heard passengers of all ages discussing the execution of Cardinal Leng Jue of the Black Vatican by the Judgment Network a few days later.

It seems that Leng Qing and Ding Yumin have already detained Leng Jue in Shanghai.

That's true, he's been gone for almost a month now.

After returning to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, Bai Mo learned in detail about the date and circumstances of Leng Jue's execution.

I can go and take a look the day after tomorrow morning.

But why didn't Salam break into the prison? Was he too afraid? What a pity.

A day passed quickly. While Bai Mo was still beating Shuang Tou Feng at Jin Yuan Apartment, the time for Leng Jue's execution was approaching.

He took a shower and then teleported directly to the scene; after all, he was the head of Xinghuo.com.

Attending such events is still necessary.

There weren't many people at the venue. Official leaders from Shanghai, the president of the Magic Association, the president of the Tribunal, and the dean of Pearl Academy were all present.

In addition, there's the Spark Network's Spark Envoy event.

The execution took place on Baisha New Land outside Xiaoshan.

The process went smoothly, under the live broadcast camera and the watchful eyes of countless viewers.

Leng Jue was destroyed by the Holy Judgment Demon Sword!

The death of a Black Papacy cardinal can be seen as a welcome piece of good news amid a global slump of unrest and alarms since the rise in sea levels.

This, of course, further boosted Xinghuo.com's reputation.

After making a brief appearance, Bai Mo returned to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, along with Ding Yumin and Mu Nujiao.

"Now that I've finished dealing with all the official business, it's time to take care of my personal matters."

Bai Mo poured himself a glass of lemonade, took a sip, and said.

Finding totems is the quickest way to improve one's strength; otherwise, at this point, one might only have just reached the peak of the high-level Chaos system.

Improving one's strength is the key to solving the siren problem in the future.

After all, if you decide to change the environment while you're still a student, you can't do it without some ability.

"Based on my speculation, the location corresponding to the Zhenshui worm should be Xiangzhou."

To find the totem, we also need to consult Lingling, she continued:

"There are many springs, pools, lakes and marshes in Xiangzhou, and I can't be sure which one it is. I need to rely on the function of the Star Sun Pearl to make a further judgment."

"Could it be Dongting Lake?" Mu Nujiao suddenly asked.

"It shouldn't be. I've done very detailed analysis and reasoning to prove it, but the area around Dongting Lake has never been a human settlement throughout history."

Lingling shook her head. "Totems usually appear in places with human civilization, but Dongting Lake is not one of them. In fact, strictly speaking, it was nurtured by the Yangtze River."

"It's good that it's not Dongting Lake. Then we'll go to Xiangzhou next."

Now that a general direction had been established, Bai Mo stopped this pointless debate.

Whether it is or not, we will naturally know when we get closer.

The directional arrows of the Star and Sun Beads corresponding to the totems of the Seven Mansions of the South are quite convenient when there is a general direction.

As they headed south from Shanghai, the arrow pointing towards the Star Sun Pearl remained largely unchanged in its general direction.

After entering Xiangzhou territory and continuing north, the arrow's direction finally changed after reaching a certain latitude.

Following the arrow, the group arrived in front of a city.

"How come it's in the city? Is this totem device broken?"

Lingling peeked at the beads in his hand and said:

"The arrow is pointing east. Could it be to the east? Let's go around to the other side of the city and take a look."

Nodding, Jingwei flapped its wings and carried them quickly to the other side of the city.

But at this moment, the arrow in the Star Sun Pearl changed direction again, turning from east to west.

"It looks like it's in the city. Let's go in and take a look."

After speaking, Bai Mo had Jingwei land outside the city, and then led the three of them inside.

"This is Xiangcheng, the capital of Xiangzhou. If the ruins of the Zhenshui worm are here, they may have already been discovered," Lingling said, glancing at the map.

"Let's go in and see if Xiangcheng has any springs or lakes."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was not in a hurry, but instead asked about the situation.

"The Baisha Ancient Well is quite old."

"Then let's go there and take a look."

At this moment, Ding Yumin, who was beside her, spoke up to remind her:

"If the place where the Zhenshui worm fell has indeed been found and excavated, there should be records in Xiangcheng. We can look for these records in the incomplete patterns on this token."

During their conversation, they had already entered the city.

As a provincial capital, this city naturally has a rich cultural heritage. Many years ago, it was praised as the "Jiangnan region".

However, what impressed Bai Mo the most was the stinky tofu here.

As soon as we came across a food street, we bought one for each of Ding Yumin and the other two, so that we could all share the treat.

"Hey bro, how do I get to Baisha Ancient Well?"

While the food stall owner was packing the food, he started asking for directions.

"Hey Phuket, you young people know how to use that map navigation, right? Just look it up yourself."

A question mark appeared on Bai Mo's face as he glanced at the signboard: Authentic Xiangcheng Stinky Tofu, a century-old brand.

"Dude, you're not a local. Aren't you a real local?"

"Yes, yes, the stinky tofu is from the authentic place. Local stinky tofu costs 200 yuan for three servings. Mine is so cheap, how could I be a local?"

Bai Mo was speechless and shared the stinky tofu with Ding Yumin and the other two who were watching the show.

I still opened the unethical navigation app and searched for it myself.

He quickly learned the route, then hailed a car and headed to Baisha Ancient Well.

This place is also a tourist attraction. The four of them came to the well and Bai Mo activated the Star Sun Pearl.

The bead points in a direction; follow the red arrow inside the bead.

A middle-aged man in a retro Tang suit is smiling and raising his hand.

Looking down, he saw a grandson taking a picture with him.

Bai Mo's gaze passed over the two people, and what he saw was a square and the bustling traffic outside the square.

And the Baisha Ancient Well was right behind him.

He took out the Chariot Command and injected magical energy to activate it, but no response was generated.

"Not here."

Shaking his head, Bai Mo answered the questioning gazes of Ding Yumin and the other two.

"But the arrow is pointing in that direction, so we can go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Lingling also looked in that direction and suddenly said:

"That seems to be the magic association of Xiangcheng."

Slightly taken aback, Bai Mo hadn't noticed this before.

Now that there were no people obstructing the view, some buildings were clearly visible.

At the end of a road leading to a vertical plaza, there is indeed an old-fashioned building.

The building is not tall in the modern jungle of reinforced concrete.

However, the exterior of the quaint and elegant building does indeed bear the emblem and badge of the Magic Association.

"The Magic Association?!"

Bai Mo naturally knew what Lingling meant. The totem ruins located in the city were very likely to be discovered, and if they were, the related items were very likely to be in the Magic Association.

"Then let's go take a look."

He made a decision that many local city magic associations are tourist attractions, and this old building of the Xiangcheng Magic Association is no exception.

The entire building has only twelve floors, and from the outside, it looks simple, elegant, and aloof.

However, once inside, you'll find it very noisy.

The people who were talking incessantly were not tourists, but locals who had come to do business.

Ignoring all that, Bai Mo activated the Star Sun Pearl and the Chariot Token in his hand.

The token did not register, but the arrow on the Star Sun Bead pointed upwards.

This undoubtedly proves that their previous guesses were correct.

The group exchanged glances upon seeing the arrow pointing in their direction.

"Let's go up and take a look. If we find it, we can then discuss it with the president of the Magic Association here?" Ding Yumin suggested.

This was also the opinion of Bai Mo and the others. He was very curious to know if the remains of the Zhenshui Earthworm were discovered, whether its skeleton was buried or stored somewhere.

Following the arrows, they searched floor by floor.

But soon the direction of the arrow became unclear, sometimes forward, backward, left, right, sometimes up, sometimes down.

This undoubtedly left Bai Mo and the others somewhat confused.

Stepping out of the elevator, Bai Mo was slightly taken aback. Outside the door stood the middle-aged man in a Tang suit who had been seen taking photos with his grandson in the square earlier.

What a coincidence.

He thought to himself, then heard Ding Yumin whisper beside him:

"He seems to know you."

"What's so strange about that? Several people have recognized me along the way," Bai Mo said. "Let's discuss the direction of the Star Sun Pearl."

He is already quite famous in the country, and many people can recognize him.

Some people will greet you with surprise, while others will just glance at you.

This is not something worth noting.

On the contrary, the arrow of the Star Sun Pearl kept changing as they searched up and down the stairs.

"We went up and down from the first floor to the top floor a total of nine times."

Lingling spoke first, analyzing, "There's only one pattern: the arrow rarely finds the target below the fifth floor. Of the nine searches, six times it was above the fifth floor before the arrow pointing upwards changed."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, apart from that, the changes in the direction of the arrows have become irregular. Currently, the floors where the direction has changed are floors 11, 6, 9, 8, 2, etc., but we haven't found anything on those floors."

"Perhaps it's because we haven't done enough statistical data," Ding Yumin added.

"There's no need to do any more statistics; nine times is enough to verify. The relevant information about the water worm is right here, but it might be hidden."

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Mo spoke, recalling the Temple of Earth in Lanyang and the Sacred Spring in Bocheng.

These places are also related to totems, but at the same time, they are also sacred places for spiritual practice in a city.

A place where magicians are trained.

"Perhaps the things related to the ruins of the Zhenshui Earthworm are a sacred place for cultivation, hidden in the Xiangcheng Magic Association, rather than some kind of item stored in a warehouse. We need to meet with the president here."

After saying that, Bai Mo left the lounge, intending to ask at the front desk.

"Hello, I am the chief judge of Starfire Network. I would like to see the president of your Magic Association. Please announce my arrival."

Bai Mo walked to the front desk, took out the certificate, and said.

"Huh?!" The receptionist was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized what was going on when she saw the proof.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

A moment later, the receptionist said, "The chairman said he's waiting for you in the top-floor conference room."

"Thank you." With a slight nod, Bai Mo went directly to the top-floor conference room.

Inside the elevator, he casually took out the Star Sun Pearl and glanced at it. Seeing that the arrow was still pointing upwards, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Upon arriving at the top-floor conference room, Bai Mo was slightly taken aback when he opened the door and saw the people inside.

A middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit was sitting upright inside.

It was the same person he had encountered twice today; he turned out to be the president of the Xiangcheng Magic Association.

However, Bai Mo quickly recovered and took two steps forward to greet him.

"Hello, I'm Bai Mo."

"I've heard so much about you. My name is Tian Guoli. May I ask what brings Judge Bai here?"

Famous name? For these official members, it should be a bad reputation, after all, there aren't many people who are truly incorruptible.

After glancing at the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, Bai Mo said directly:

"I'm not here because of the Judgment Network, so Chairman Tian doesn't need to worry. I'm here to visit the training grounds of the Xiangcheng Magic Association."

"A sacred place for cultivation?!" The middle-aged man in the Tang suit was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise:

"Our Xiangcheng Magic Association does indeed have a sacred training ground, but it only has some effect on high-level mages. Forgive my bluntness, but if Judge Bai wants to enter..."

"Furthermore, this sacred cultivation ground is intended for young mages below the high rank in Xiangcheng. If Bai Judgment were to enter, it would be against the rules."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo didn't know whether he was naturally like this or was deliberately putting on an act in front of him.

He didn't care about these things and persuaded, "President Tian, ​​don't worry, I don't intend to go inside to cultivate. If you don't believe me, you can come in with me."

After saying this, Chairman Tian hesitated for a moment.

The man in front of him, Bai Mo, was at the height of his power and influence, and he didn't actually want to offend him for the sake of any rules.

However, it was still unclear whether he was there to investigate a case or for some other purpose.

Normal people don't all enter cultivation holy sites for cultivation purposes.

So you're the only one who's different, revealing your identity to see me just so you can go inside and wander around?

"Okay, but opening the cultivation holy land is recorded. I can't just let you in like that. You need to help me, no, help the Xiangcheng Magic Association with something."

After pondering for a while, Chairman Tian finally nodded.

Bai Mo was not surprised by this and nodded happily:

"What is it?"

"There is a mountain range to the east of Xiangcheng. It was originally a mine for refined gold, but it has been occupied by a demon clan. I know that Judge Bai is very powerful, and I hope he can help us destroy this group of demons."

Exterminating demons is nothing. With his current strength, plus Ding Yumin and Jingwei in the Demon Refining Pot, he wouldn't be afraid even of a supreme monarch.

Demons and monsters under the supreme monarch are not a problem.

"Okay, I need the information on the demons you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Tian's face blossomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he immediately took out a document from his storage magic artifact and handed it to Bai Mo.

"It's a waste of time and effort to get a trial."

"Each takes what they need."

Bai Mo nodded slightly, and with a flash of silver lightning beside him, he disappeared.

He approached Ding Yumin and the other two and recounted his conversation with Chairman Tian.

He then took the materials and began to pass them around.

The mine that Chairman Tian mentioned is not very close to Xiangcheng; it is located 30 kilometers east of Xiangcheng.

These are a group of leyline horned demons that are close to elemental demons, resembling pangolins.

"The leyline horned demon increases its strength by eating various minerals. Each time it refines its entire body with a different mineral, its strength increases by one unit."

The data shows that the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch is already at the level of a mid-level monarch, having refined himself five times.

This adamantite mine should be its sixth!

If he succeeds, he might set his sights on Xiangcheng, where there are too many metal smelting products.

After reading the information, Lingling concluded.

"Xiangcheng has four super-level beings in charge, but no superiors. Once the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch breaks through to the Great Monarch level, Xiangcheng will not be able to withstand it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo and the other two understood her meaning. When it came to matters of principle, Lingling always had her own opinions more than most people.

However, this leyline horned beast clan has some hidden dangers.

"Then I'll go with Yu Mian. Jiao Jiao, you stay here with Ling Ling."

"Why won't you let me go!" Lingling protested.

But Bai Mo had already disappeared with Ding Yumin.

The entire adamantite mine stretches for more than ten kilometers, but compared to the lush green mountains and clear waters of other places, this place is barren.

From the air, one could see a group of powerful, truck-sized Leyline Horned Demons being driven by a dozen or so Leyline Golden Horned Beasts.

They continuously used their innate ability to drill through mountains to extract ore from the veins and deliver it to the largest demon at the very top of the mountain range.

The ruler of this race is the Earth Vein Golden Armor Beast.

"According to the information, the Earth Vein Beast is not particularly good at attacking, but it has strong defense, immense strength, and is extremely good at burrowing underground to escape."

Bai Mo muttered to himself, and in a flash, he appeared at the very top of the entire mountain range, directly above the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch.

His form was revealed, and the Nine Palaces manifested, expanding continuously under Bai Mo's control, reaching three thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

"dumb!!!!"

An angry roar came from below, but was drowned out by an even louder roar.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The Divine Dust Tiger pounced down from the moonlight. The suppression brought by its high-level bloodline and the terrifying power of its roar made all the earth vein horned demons who heard the roar feel dazed.

"Time-Space Prison!"

It was this moment of distraction that gave Bai Mo the opportunity to unleash his domain magic.

With a clasp of his hands, the entire Nine Palaces Diagram instantly turned silver, and brilliant starlight fell from the silver plate, like mysterious runes imprinted in the void.

Bang, bang, bang—the sounds of impacts echoed as the surrounding leyline demons tried to escape.

But these incredibly strong demons all crashed into an invisible spatial barrier and were bounced back.

On the ground, the entire mine turned a dark gold color with the arrival of the Divine Dust Tiger.

The fact that the land in the mine is controlled by the Divine Dust Tiger means that these leyline demons cannot leave or hide by burrowing underground.

Meanwhile, the Divine Dust Tiger had already collided with the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch.

Even with the power of the Divine Dust Tiger, it could only manage a draw against this Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch.

Bai Mo intended to finish the battle quickly, so moonlight flashed around him one after another, and Feng Ling and Jiao Yue, carrying a knife, appeared.

Jiaoyue was sent outside the Time-Space Prison to help Ding Yumin clear out the lesser demons and deal with the dozen or so leaders.

Feng Ling naturally stayed behind to help Da Ju and carry out a righteous gang-up.

It must be said that this Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch's defensive capabilities are truly formidable.

That body, as hard as refined iron, was not simply hard and solid; while incredibly tough, it also possessed the same flexibility.

Even with Feng Ling and Da Ju fighting two against one, neither of them managed to seriously injure him.

This won't do. Bai Mo continued summoning.

The Moon Gate lit up, and twelve commanders appeared outside, surrounding and attacking the Leyline Horned Demon from all directions.

Next came the ancient demonic gate, where a night elf lord quietly appeared and joined the battle between the three lords.

The appearance of the night elves was a great help; the shadow elementals, moving silently, were inconspicuous in the melee between the three monarchs.

But every time he makes a move, he manages to inflict serious injury.

First, the power of dark erosion was used to corrupt the hard defenses of the Golden Armor Monarch of the Earth Veins.

Then, by fully utilizing the binding effect of the Shadow element, the Earth Leyline Golden Armor Monarch became a sitting duck.

Bai Mo wasn't idle either. Since the wind and earth were difficult to break through his defenses, he would use the unpredictable chaos.

The subtly transformed Bagua diagram suddenly became a chaotic mess, as Bai Mo raised his hand and slashed down.

A long, narrow, black blade of chaos descended.

The Chaos Blade sliced ​​the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch's hard body in two without any hindrance.

The powerful vitality of a monarch-level being did not kill him immediately, nor did the life form of a half-elemental demon cause him to bleed too much.

As soon as its front half fell, it couldn't wait to escape.

But a silver streak of light pierced its head in an instant, pinning its body to the ground.

It was a simple, silver spear.

In a mere ten minutes, a mid-level monarch with formidable defenses was killed.

Bai Mo felt that he hadn't even warmed up yet.

That's the beauty of summoner-based team fights.

Meanwhile, outside, the horned demon clan was almost wiped out by the undead army led by Ding Yumin.

It's certain that some will escape, but as long as the monarch dies, there's nothing to worry about.

They collected the essence of the Earth Vein Golden Armor Monarch and his corpse. The two returned to the Xiangcheng Magic Association.

Upon finding Chairman Tian, ​​Bai Mo said calmly, "Mission accomplished."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the head of the Earth Vein Golden Armor appeared in the conference room.

"So fast!!"

Chairman Tian only had time to stare in shock at the bloody hole in the head. (End of Chapter)
