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

Should I let myself follow him around?

Bai Mo didn't believe that someone like this would simply follow him around for a short while.

Is there anything you need me to do?

He couldn't help but ask, from any perspective, could he choose to help this man who could be called a pillar of the nation?

"No." Hua Zhanhong shook his head.

Even a ghost wouldn't believe that, let alone Bai Mo.

Although he didn't know what the military leader was up to, he still agreed.

"Okay, now?"

"right!"

Hua Zhanhong nodded slightly, the space behind him rippled slightly, and he spoke:

"Follow me."

Although he was full of doubts, Bai Mo immediately followed.

The fact that Hua Zhanhong was able to leave so easily means that there is no longer any danger in Leizhou.

Although he couldn't enjoy the cheers and gratitude from all the people of Leizhou, Bai Mo didn't care about that.

Before leaving, the traitor had already sent a telepathic message to Feng Chun, indicating that there was nothing left to deal with in Leizhou.

The two traveled through space one after the other, and before they knew it, their spatial travel had turned into aerial flight.

At this moment, they don't know where on the coastline of Kyushu they are, just flying like this, watching the sunset and the sunrise.

Suddenly, Hua Zhanhong's body landed and walked on the beach.

Bai Mo followed closely behind, as he entered a village at a leisurely pace.

The village was deserted; it was an abandoned village.

"This used to be a fishing village, but due to rising coastline and the arrival of sirens, the danger level increased exponentially, so we evacuated."

"Shao Zheng told me that you did a lot of things that helped him a lot, along the coastline and in the Northwest."

Hua Zhanhong didn't turn around, and Bai Mo wasn't modest either. His tone wasn't full of praise, just a faint sigh.

"I've identified many people, and you're the one who's grown the fastest and played the biggest role among them."

He paused slightly at this point before continuing:

"But I hope that before you truly become a forbidden spell, you will not participate in the battle against the ocean; that should not be the work of your generation."

I think you're doing very well now, cultivating reputation and uniting the younger generation of talented people. Perhaps it'll be our turn.

Bai Mo frowned, guessing that he must have discovered something through his remote confrontation with the thing behind the demonic ravine.

"I will not agree. Besides, I have no interest in leading people to do anything."

Bai Mo rejected this advice.

Perhaps in Hua Zhanhong's mind, the terrifying being who was fighting him from afar could arrive at any moment.

But Bai Mo knew that it would be two years before Leng Yuemou arrived.

In the eyes of most people, two years is not even enough to graduate from high school, let alone train a novice mage.

But for him, two years is enough time to do a lot.

For example, breaking through forbidden spells.

Hua Zhanhong remained silent upon hearing this, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and continued walking forward with Bai Mo.

Gradually, they arrived at a snowfield, but as they got closer, Bai Mo suddenly realized that this was actually the capital city!

When did the snow in the capital get so thick?

"Coastal crisis: Lower temperatures are causing colder winters in the north to arrive earlier. Many places are actually unsuitable for living."

The expansion of the snowfields will exacerbate the spread and invasion of the snow monsters in the Northeast, so your actions in the Northwest are quite good.

Although it's cold there in winter, there's a sacred fire elemental site that's enough to keep the city warm. It just lacks someone to take charge.

The Western Army's primary focus is on defending Kunlun and Tianshan, leaving it no time to intervene. Similarly, the military mages will not interfere in political affairs.

Although Hua Zhanhong did not say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was clear: he hoped that Bai Mo would develop the Northwest.

There was even a hint that he should take over the entire western region, but Bai Mo refused.

He prefers to be a hands-off manager. Since things are difficult in the west, he can simply communicate with the little white tiger and have that cub manage the demons of Tianshan.

If you really can't stay idle, you can have a fight with Kunlun and get your feelings sorted out.

"Chief Hua, what are you afraid of?" he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid you'll die. There are very few talents like you left in the country."

Hua Zhanhong finally turned to look at him. "I killed that demon ghost from the ditch and also learned some of his memories through some special methods. That skeleton is very important."

That's something that can enhance the essence of the ocean gods. If you appear on the beach, you're bound to encounter sea monsters.

"Holy crap!!"

Bai Mo's eyes widened, and he turned to look at the ocean not far away.

"Then why did you keep leading me along the beach!"

"At this distance, it won't have much of an impact."

Bai Mo's lips twitched slightly; he wasn't entirely at ease. He tentatively suggested, "How about I give you a bone?"

"No, that's an obvious mark, I won't carry it," Hua Zhanhong refused.

"Has that military commander finished his tour? I feel a bit unsafe here."

Bai Mo glanced at the Forbidden City, which was approaching. Although it was located inside the city, he could still see the sea from high above.

Hua Zhanhong ignored Bai Mo's antics and instead looked at Bai Mo, stopping above the Forbidden City with an unusually serious expression, and said:

"Your summoning skill is already at the third level of the Super-Order. You just need a little more time to mature before you reach perfection. We once asked Pang Lai if he could break through the forbidden spell with a Dimensional Core. However, he refused because there are summoning mages with more potential than him. When facing demons, summoned beasts are much easier to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was taken aback and glanced at the Forbidden City beneath his feet.

She looked up again at Hua Zhanhong in front of her.

Why are you here again!

Do you really want him to do nothing and focus solely on cultivation?

"I'm tempted, but I have a faster way."

Bai Mo still refused. It wasn't that he was arrogant; he hadn't actually worried about breaking the forbidden spell.

Because there is an energy source in South America that is very suitable for his breakthrough to the fourth dimension.

With the Eye of Time and Space, Bai Mo estimated that he could take advantage of the situation to subdue it and use the energy that had been accumulated for countless years to enter the highest hall of magic in one fell swoop.

Hua Zhanhong stared at him in astonishment, confirming that his expression was genuine, and couldn't help but ask:

Why?

He clearly didn't believe Bai Mo had any faster method.

"Because I really do have a faster way."

Bai Mo felt that he had been cultivating the Dao so diligently that he could use the Dimensional Core, and two years had long passed.

Moreover, achieving forbidden spells by using things given by others always requires owing favors and will be subject to control.

He wouldn't openly elevate it to the level of a forbidden spell.

"It's really strange. Old Man Pang Lai's refusal is due to his lack of ambition and his advanced age. He wants to give the opportunity to others, which shows his selfless heart that is flawless in cultivation."

Hua Zhanhong glanced at him in surprise, as if his understanding of the world was being challenged.

"Among your generation, only Mo Fan's heart can compare to his. But he hasn't reached his full potential yet. He's someone with his own little schemes, but more importantly, he has a strong sense of righteousness."

He might have left the moment I first opened my mouth.

You're different. The military strategist's think tank has analyzed you from all angles, and I've also come to understand you.

Hua Zhanhong looked at Bai Mo, a smile appearing on his face for the first time since the journey.

"You may seem to have a noble cause, but that's just how you appear."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo showed no panic or indignation; he simply listened with great interest.

It evokes the feeling of Liu Bei listening to Cao Cao's discussion of heroes at a gathering of childhood friends.

"You are actually selfish. You do many things based on your own desires and purposes. But your selfishness is so great that it borders on selflessness that it seems to be a matter of righteousness."

Therefore, we actually have no complaints about you; you meet the needs of the vast majority of people.

After Hua Zhanhong finished speaking, he looked at Bai Mo.

"But now it seems that both my and their views were somewhat biased, and you were a bit arrogant."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo laughed. "That's right, I am arrogant. You might not believe it, but at first I wanted to just lie down and enjoy life."

Hua Zhanhong shook his head, assuming he was joking. He simply smiled slightly, and then suddenly a token appeared in his hand, which he tossed to Bai Mo.

"This should be what you want. He comes from an old friend of mine who has passed away. The village I took you to earlier was his hometown, and the place he used to protect."

"Since you don't want the Dimensional Core, then you can have this."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

The main reason for this trip with Bai Mo was to get a closer look at this junior.

Although he didn't notice anything else, Hua Zhanhong certainly got a sense of that arrogant and haughty attitude.

The Dimensional Core is not for anyone else. In any case, once Bai Mo reaches the required cultivation level, the item will be placed before him.

But when that time comes, Hua Zhanhong might realize that he had really gone to the wrong place.

Bai Mo had no idea that this 20,000-kilometer journey to push along the coastline had such a layer of influence.

He felt that the whole way they talked about random things.

But looking at the token in his hand, all he could think of was "Damn it."

This thing was actually on Hua Zhanhong.

Immediately afterwards, he began to recall the location of that fishing village.

Lingling, who was still racking her brains to find information, had already fainted in her seat from crying.

渔村

The air rippled slightly, and Bai Mo's figure appeared.

He glanced at the Ghost Golden Sheep Token in his hand, then at the small fishing village below.

Upon further observation, he indeed discovered the village's water source.

It was a body of water only fifty meters from the edge of the village.

After activating the Ghost Golden Sheep Token in his hand, a guiding light immediately appeared.

But the location indicated by the light was not the marshland that Bai Mo thought it was.

Instead, it is located in the village below, behind a farmhouse courtyard.

Upon arriving here, Bai Mo went straight into the well, where a deep expanse of mud lay below!

However, this did not deter him. A flash of white-gold light appeared in his eyes, and he activated Earth Wave Patrol.

He merged into the soil, roaming the earth, following the token's guidance downwards. After an unknown number of meters, Bai Mo suddenly found himself in a void beneath him.

They fell into an underground lake!

The entire lake is about a kilometer long, and its shimmering surface glows with a faint blood-red light.

All these lights emanated from an altar on a raised island in the middle of the lake.

The island is now submerged, but one can imagine that long ago it was above the water.

It's hard to imagine that there's such a hidden paradise beneath the wellhead on the beach.

On the altar, a relatively intact skeleton lay quietly.

Beside the skeleton lay an arrow that had silently accompanied it for countless years.

Bai Mo stepped in front of the altar and instantly felt a powerful curse.

really!

He silently muttered to himself, and upon seeing the faint crimson light on the water's surface, he had already guessed what kind of magic this totem controlled.

Now that we've come into close contact, it really is a curse.

This might be of great help to Jingwei.

Although he had his own judgment, Bai Mo was more eager to see what changes would occur after the totem egg absorbed the complete power of the Southern Seven Mansions.

Bai Mo cast a contract summoning spell, calling the totem egg out of the contract space.

Place it on the skeleton of the Ghost Golden Sheep, and then watch the totem glow with its special colored patterns slowly climb onto the totem egg.

It seemed to illuminate the last part of its pattern, and the entire totem egg trembled slightly in an instant!

Bai Mo vaguely heard a long cry like that of a phoenix. Immediately afterward, before he could use his elemental seed to restore the fire-type star river, it suddenly burst into a burst of vermilion flames!

The flames, carrying the Milky Way, seemed to transform into the Vermilion Bird, circling the entire spiritual world as if making a solemn declaration!

He has returned to this world!

The Star River Fire Phoenix returned to its original position, but the Vermilion Bird Egg emitted a dazzling light.

A wondrous rhythm transmitted information to him through the soul contract.

Looking at that bright red totem egg that seemed to be breathing.

Bai Mo, who was wondering why the egg hadn't hatched yet, suddenly understood the reason.

Although the Vermilion Bird's originally incomplete reincarnation ritual was completed with the help of Bai Mo and the power of the totems of his seven subordinates.

However, a soul that has been dormant for a long time still needs to be awakened by the power of the seven southern constellations for forty-nine days, and then undergo the baptism of heavenly fire before it can be reborn!

Tianhuo Baimo naturally knew where it was, but the power of stars could not be obtained underground.

Through the vibrant feeling of his own fire element, he could understand that the totem egg was truly about to hatch and be reborn!

Overjoyed, Bai Mo immediately waved his hand and retrieved the Vermilion Bird Egg back into the contract space.

Instead of leaving immediately, he lit up his palm, illuminating the entire underground space.

As the red light brightened the space, Bai Mo's gaze locked onto the surrounding walls.

The walls are large and have even been covered and eroded by flowing water, but the murals and carvings are still clearly visible.

In fact, Bai Mo didn't understand how these murals came to be either.

Because sometimes, it doesn't look like it was created by ancient humans who lived here.

Perhaps after he casts the Chaos Forbidden Spell, revisiting this place will provide the answer.

But now, he only wants to know through Gui Yanjian what the mural is trying to express.

The first four murals clearly tell the story of a divine bird, carrying celestial fire, that created a world-destroying flood and was subsequently torn apart by a powerful being.

This picture seems to tell the story of the origin of the flames on the divine bird.

Bai Mo glanced at the mural and immediately took out the Returning Swallow Mirror to activate it.

A chaotic aura pervades the air; using the mural as a bookmark, one can open the corresponding page in the annals of history.

A gigantic fish appeared before Bai Mo, its body, spanning countless miles, using the entire sea as its bed.

But there wasn't a drop of water in this sea. Under Bai Mo's gaze, the fish transformed into a divine bird with wings spanning tens of thousands of miles, soaring away in one direction.

After traversing countless miles, a place filled with fire essence appeared, resembling a hellish sea of ​​fire.

The giant roc suddenly swooped down, seemingly to carry the fire spirits with its body.

The scene ended, and Bai Mo opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

Judging from its appearance, it is very similar to Zhuangzi's description of the Kunpeng, which is a fish when it enters the water and a bird when it is in the sky.

But Bai Mo keenly noticed one thing: at the very beginning, there seemed to be no ocean on the entire landmass.

It was this giant fish that transformed into a bird, lifting up the flames that melted the glaciers, thus creating the ocean.

Surely it wasn't the Kunpeng that created the ocean?

Moreover, such a gigantic creature spanning tens of thousands of miles is probably one that you can't find anywhere else in the entire world.

Bai Mo felt increasingly confused by what he was seeing.

More importantly, what is the connection between this and the Vermilion Bird and the Seven Mansions of the South?

Bai Mo glanced at the Vermilion Bird egg inside the contract space, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He hoped that Suzaku would provide him with some answers in time; he always felt that there was more to the story than met the eye.

Moreover, exploring the mysteries of this world is really interesting!

After all, even though he had read the entire original French novel, he still didn't know how this world came to be.

There's a line that often appears in cultivation novels, and that's a very good question.

In the beginning of time, who spread the Way?

Bai Mo made another rubbing of the mural, intending to bring it to Lingling.

Then, he put away the Cursed Flame Arrow of the Ghost Golden Sheep, guided some of the totem source power that Jingwei had transferred into the space system, allowing it to break through the limit, and then immediately left this place.

Outside the deserted village, Bai Mo did not rush to leave.

The moonlit space around him lit up, and after summoning the bright moon, he took out the companion vessel of the thunder beast and handed it to the bright moon.

The moment the vessel appeared, it instantly transformed into a highly condensed mass of lightning, resembling a crystallized energy, and merged into the center of Jiaoyue's brow.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Thunder roared, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered over a distance of several kilometers in the sky. The deafening sound was like a million galloping warhorses rushing past.

The sky roared as if releasing boundless power, and Bai Mo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

It was as if we had entered a chaotic void, and then a bolt of lightning, as if splitting the heavens and earth, swept across the sky, opening up the world!

Then, the scene before him was the normal seaside thunder zone, and he frowned slightly.

The scene he just witnessed didn't seem to be an illusion, but rather something that Jiaoyue transmitted to his consciousness through a soul connection.

What is that? The birth of the Thunder Beast?

As soon as Bai Mo closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, he discovered that his lightning cultivation had reached the second level of the super-tier, and was even on par with his wind cultivation!

Furthermore, through the connection of the summoning system, he was even able to sense that the potential of the Moon's bloodline had already caught up with that of the Wind Spirit Orange.

Just as he was secretly alarmed, a dragon's roar burst forth from the Thunder Star Sea.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Mo saw that on the Lieque Blade, which existed in the Thunder Star Sea and was often used by Jiao Yue, patches of dark gray lightning were constantly gathering.

The oppressive and volatile aura grew increasingly concentrated and profound, as if one could see a black dragon formed from lightning roaring within it.

Bai Mo vaguely saw a drum integrated into it, and then, Lie Que Dao suddenly burst out with a dazzling light from a totem vessel.

The Tyrant Desolate Thunder, which was originally only at the level of a Great Soul Seed, broke through the boundary in an instant and reached the level of a Lesser Heavenly Seed!

Jiaoyue refined the companion artifact inherited from the Thunder Beast into the Lieque Blade!

Gazing at the dark blue longsword that seemed to contain a black dragon roaring and swimming within it, Bai Mo's eyes were filled with surprise.

He has enough weapons; he doesn't need any more.

He was delighted by this major buff to the lightning element, which was equivalent to having two Celestial Seeds.

Moreover, the Tyrant Desolate Thunder, a Heavenly Seed-level creature, is truly extraordinary.

Most importantly, by mastering two types of heavenly lightning, Jiaoyue's combat power will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Bai Mo opened his eyes and could clearly sense the aura of a mid-level monarch emanating from Jiao Yue, which was comparable to Feng Ling's.

It's estimated that with a little more nourishment, he could break through to the Great Monarch level.

With a long cry, the moonlight instantly caused all the lightning within the thunderclouds, stretching for over ten kilometers, to fall into her smooth, delicate palms.

The raging lightning in her palm was like an obedient child, quickly transforming into a blooming purple-white lotus flower, which she presented to Bai Mo.

"Give me?"

Bai Mo smiled, reached out and took it, then put it on her head.

Jiaoyue, who had reached the intermediate level of monarch cultivation, was now a grown woman.

His face was refined and elegant, with a touch of majesty. He was wrapped in a pale white robe with a purple sheen, and a long, narrow, deep-set sword hung at his waist. Although it lacked the violent thunder decorations, it still exuded an aura of quiet authority, like a commander-in-chief, humble yet powerful.

"Nye!"

Jiaoyue exclaimed happily, then went back to the contract space to show off.

For a long time, she lagged behind Da Ju and Feng Ling.

Now, she has not only caught up, but has even slightly surpassed the big orange.

As the saying goes, a master is bound to be favored. As soon as she put on the flower crown, she couldn't wait to return to the contract space to show it off.

Shanghai, Xiaoshan

On the back mountain, Bai Mo settled the hollow willow and Jingwei back in place, and summoned a life spirit to heal their injuries.

Then he took out the totem egg and placed it on top of the hollow willow tree.

He glanced at Jingwei and the big willow tree, as well as Qiuniu lying lazily beside them.

"This is your future partner. He is being reincarnated by the power of the stars. This period is very important, so watch carefully."

"Yingying!!"

A cry came from the side; it was Little Moon Phoenix, sensing a familiar presence, flying over.

The appearance of the Moon Phoenix seems to have accelerated the process of the totem egg gathering starlight.

Bai Mo could clearly see strands of starlight, like silk threads, condensing in the air.

He glanced at Yu Shishi, who had followed him, and thought for a moment, then said, "Yu Shishi, you can stay here from now on."

"Oh, I'm fine with anything. What is this egg? Little Moon Phoenix seems to be very close to it, and there's even a sense of awe towards it."

Awe?

Bai Mo was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't it be "Ru Mu"? According to the setting, the legend says that Yue E Huang was the child of the Vermilion Bird.

However, no matter what, these two are related.

Perhaps he should go and bring the gyrfalcon over now.

I'll take some time to check on how things are going with the Hidden Clan Alliance.

Find an excuse to go to Licheng, find Xiayu, arrest all those people, and rescue Haidongqing.

Bai Mo thought so. (End of this chapter)
