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

Chapter 480 The Secret of the World Begins in Jianggu

Red wings droop low, sheltering the entire island of Xiamen. The bay is filled with seawater again, and the surging waves seem to have fallen silent at this moment.

Suzaku's eyes, shining like stars in the darkness, gazed at the distant sea.

The sea was completely silent; the once shadowy army of sea monsters had vanished entirely.

They fled as if escaping, no longer daring to venture a step further.

The Vermilion Bird's figure gradually shrank, transforming from a size that covered the entire city into a red bird the size of a palm.

Everyone watched this scene and also caught a glimpse of Bai Mo, who had been hidden by the Vermilion Bird.

"Who is that?"

"He brought that divine beast to save us."

"He can command such powerful creatures; he must be an extremely powerful summoner."

"Of course, you don't even know him? That's Bai Mo, the chief judge of Xinghuo.com."

All the people of Xiamen watched this scene, watched the figure appear, watched the Vermilion Bird land on his shoulder, and watched him descend like a whirlwind.

Silver-clad Grand Master, Sound-based Ancient Mage, owner of the Egret Island Magic Association, and owner of the Egret Island High School Alliance.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and the Silver-Armored Grand Master sighed deeply:

"Heroes emerge from among the young! All of us on Xiamen Island owe Judge Bai a life."

"Yes, who would have thought that the White Tribunal would find such a powerful totem? It's probably already beyond the realm of monarchs," said another member of the Magic Association.

"This is incredible! Such a powerful creature is actually a totem, and it was found by the White Judgment!" an academy dean exclaimed excitedly.

Mo Fan was also somewhat shocked, even though he had already guessed that the Vermilion Bird was brought by Bai Mo.

But when he actually witnessed the god-like power of the Vermilion Bird Flame, the powerful visual impact and the shock to his soul left him unable to recover for a long time.

"Wow, Bai Mo is absolutely amazing this time!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed excitedly.

"Everyone else came to the rescue with totems, so why can't I pretend? Baxia, look at them, and then look at you."

Baxia ignored him. When it saw Bai Mo and Zhuque land on the dock, it immediately swam over and made a squeaking sound.

Yes, Zhao Manyan and Bai Mo were both certain that this was Baxia's "clamping sound".

"Damn it, you shameless bastard, do you have to be like this?!" Zhao Manyan was completely taken aback. How was this any different from his girlfriend snuggling up to someone else?

Baxia arched his back and carried Zhao Manyan directly to the dock, declaring that he was at most his father, not his girlfriend.

And it called out to the Vermilion Bird once more.

"Holy crap!!!" Zhao Manyan was completely speechless, but knowing what Baxia meant, he still didn't say anything.

Bai Mo, having understood Baxia's meaning through Zhuque, nodded and said:

"I don't need the remains of Qiu Chi and Qiu Zi. You can take them if you want."

So Baxia simply left.

"Hey! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!" Zhao Manyan shouted unwillingly.

That old bastard sneaked off to improve his strength, not only did he not call him to watch over him, but he also ran off so fast.

"Stop howling, they've all left," Mo Fan said as he walked over with Zhang Xiaohou.

As he spoke, he observed the Vermilion Bird with considerable astonishment.

The shrunken Vermilion Bird still exudes a noble and majestic aura, only it has become more exquisite.

Mo Fan was still observing when he noticed that Zhuque's eyes suddenly met his.

In an instant, Mo Fan felt as if he had seen the sun; a warm sensation traveled directly from his eyes to his soul.

It felt as if my soul was being soaked in a hot spring, an indescribable comfort.

At the same time, Bai Mo also stared at Mo Fan with a rather strange expression, silently setting up a chaotic concealment around them.

Suddenly, the mudfish pendant that had been hidden around Mo Fan's neck flew up.

A shimmering light flowed from it, reflecting and complementing the light emanating from the Vermilion Bird, as if they were communicating.

Bai Mo watched as the pendant cast a shimmering light upon him.

He didn't hide, but carefully sensed the surroundings and found nothing.

dong dong!

dong dong!

His heart was racing, burning like a flame, accompanied by a strange cry that echoed in his soul. Mo Fan felt his heart pounding violently like an engine.

As if about to burst into flames, the next second, a ball of rosy-colored flame suddenly ignited in his chest, beating like a heart before abruptly disappearing.

At this moment, he felt as if his fire element had undergone a transformation and sublimation, like an eternal flame burning.

Bai Mo's gaze sharpened slightly. Transcendent Power, Fire Heart!

The Vermilion Bird's Radiant Sunfire carries the power of resurrection, so it seems that B-Fan did not lose the ability to revive despite being the first to arrive.

However, this Radiant Fire Heart seems to be missing something.

Through their contractual agreement, Bai Mo and Zhuque became connected, and Bai Mo quickly realized what was missing.

Seeing Mo Fan open his eyes, he began to explain to him, because this guy probably didn't know what supernatural power was.

"Under the guidance of the Vermilion Bird, your fire element has awakened a transcendent power: the Heart of Fire."

"Your extraordinary power comes from the Radiant Sunfire bestowed upon you by the Vermilion Bird; it is a flame that can be reborn from the ashes."

"Wow, that's awesome! Does that mean I'm invincible?" Mo Fan exclaimed.

"Don't be too happy yet. The Sunfire Seed is still just a seed. You need to nurture it. Otherwise, you might die halfway through your rebirth due to insufficient firepower."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was momentarily speechless, and a vague sense of foreboding arose within him.

"What should we do?"

"You should nurture the Sunfire Seed the same way you nurtured the Flame Princess. It can be advanced to the level of a Great Celestial Seed."

After a pause, Bai Mo added, "By the way, fire elemental diamonds will also work."

Mo Fan, with a sullen expression, asked, "Can I return it?"

"Hehe." Bai Mo smiled and looked at him.

"Well, at least we gained something from this naval battle." Mo Fan could only accept it reluctantly, after all, life is like that...

Moreover, he was also filled with longing for the Vermilion Bird's power, which could burn the heavens and boil the seas.

The Vermilion Bird possesses the Fire of the Sun, and so does he. With a little effort, he too can burn the heavens and boil the seas.

After Bai Mo finished explaining the matter, he went to collect the remnants of Qiu Chi and Qiu Zi's souls, as well as the essence of the Merfolk King. He also collected the charred spine, the tattered water diamond crown, and the water scepter.

He then asked himself in his heart what the Azure Dragon had given him, but he couldn't sense it at all.

"Rage!"

Zhuque let out a soft cry, and Bai Mo finally understood what it meant.

In a more gamified way, it means that drug resistance is increased by 50%.

To be precise, his body became more efficient at cultivating at the Sacred Spring over the next year.

The original idea was that the first time would be the most efficient, and the second time would be half price.

The second attempt might be the best, greatly increasing resistance to the Holy Spring.

This is not bad; it can help him catch up slightly in terms of Chaos and Sound elements.

On the other side, the Silver-Clad Grand Master and the others were hesitating to come up and express their gratitude.

But looking at the gyrfalcons that kept circling around Bai Mo, and mainly around the Vermilion Bird, they felt that they didn't have much of a chance.

Bai Mo also discovered this after receiving his reward.

So he transmitted his voice and said, "We are all members of Kyushu, so there's no need to be so polite. Xiamen Island is in dire need of reconstruction, and I also need to find a place to rest."

After saying that, he flashed and appeared on the back of the gyrfalcon, heading towards Shanghai.

As soon as Bai Mo landed on the gyrfalcon's back, he closed his eyes and entered the spiritual world.

In the spiritual world, the crimson fire element has become as powerful as the sapphire blue water element.

Beyond the entire Perfect Fire Star Sea, a colossal phantom of a Vermilion Bird faintly existed.

It seemed to be formed by the radiance emanating from fire, but Bai Mo knew it wasn't.

This is very similar to the last long feather of the Vermilion Bird, which transformed into the lingering resentment of the previous Vermilion Bird. Perhaps it can also be called the lingering resentment of inheritance.

It was this ability that, in a short period of time, helped the newly born Vermilion Bird master and merge with the Maple Feather Fire of that pool.

If there is no short time to integrate the flames absorbed by the newly born Vermilion Bird.

Therefore, he probably cannot ascend to the level of a sub-emperor in a short period of time.

Then, they rushed to the aid from afar, burning the sky and boiling the sea, killing the Merfolk King, who was the strongest fighter below the emperor and an invincible monarch, in just two moves.

However, Suzaku's sub-emperor state cannot be maintained at all times.

This is not because the Vermilion Bird's realm is unstable, but because of the bond between Him and His own contract.

Vermilion Bird is Bai Mo's contracted beast. He was contracted with it even before he completed his reincarnation and was gradually nurtured into what he is now.

Therefore, even if it becomes an emperor, Suzaku will not break free from the contractual ties that are as fragile as a spider web to it.

However, it is precisely because of this contractual connection that the Vermilion Bird's power is restricted, and even its state is suppressed.

After all, Bai Mo's summoning ability only recently became a Super-Rank 3.

Therefore, the fire element, which should have become part of the starry sky, could only maintain its super-grade perfect state.

In fact, the fire element stars are extremely restless, wishing they could immediately build a long bridge and construct a star system.

Although contractual ties are fragile, the rules of the contract are ironclad.

The cultivation level of a contracted beast can be limited by the summoning mage.

Bai Mo's situation is even more special; his elemental magic all comes from summoned beasts.

If a summoned beast's cultivation level is restricted by a contract, then the cultivation level of the corresponding magic system generated in its mental world will also be restricted.

In fact, the water element of the Water Kirin is the same as that of the Vermilion Bird.

The difference is that the water unicorn is still a monarch, but its power is limited and not as great as that of an emperor.

The water system should ideally be a structure where stars form a long bridge across the starry sky, ascending into the cosmos.

However, due to insufficient summoning cultivation, it can only maintain the maximum level.

In general, this wave is a reversal of the Heavenly Gang, where the development of one's main cultivation has restricted the development of one's secondary cultivation.

Logically speaking, an invincible monarch should also have a corresponding mage level.

However, even though the top human beings can compete with the Supreme or Invincible Monarch, they are still in the category of transcendent beings; they simply possess more powerful means and strength.

Demons are different; they cultivate their soul, bloodline, and body as a unified whole.

For demons, an invincible monarch is truly a realm beyond compare.

A soul, bloodline, and physical body that are infinitely close to the realm of an emperor.

Magicians only cultivate star systems; although magic originates from the human soul, it is not the human soul itself.

What demons and humans have in common is that they both engage in cultivation related to the soul.

Therefore, under the rules of the Origin Contract, the strength of the summoned beast in the White Ink Contract is first determined based on the soul strength of the contracted beast, and then the corresponding level of magic is born.

For example, before the Wind Spirit was even born, a faint soul gave birth to a rudimentary wind element.

When Da Ju met him, he was a warrior, so Bai Mo acquired a mid-level earth element.

As for Zhuque, he has already ascended to the level of an emperor in terms of soul, but his body and bloodline are still on the path of continuous pursuit and ascension.

Therefore, he was merely a sub-emperor.

"Humans".

A soul-stirring voice suddenly roused Bai Mo from his analysis of the magician and demon system, and from his self-reflection.

Looking up, Bai Mo realized that the soul sound was coming from the illusory Vermilion Bird soul shadow.

"You are very different. I have some memories here. If you think about them carefully, they might be useful to you. Although I have left them to this Suzaku, He may not remember them."

After saying that, the enormous Vermilion Bird soul shadow, which encompassed the entire Fire Star Sea, vanished silently in the next moment.

This left Bai Mo momentarily stunned.

At first, he thought that this soul shadow might be his fire-type transcendent power.

Because he felt that when his supernatural power was born, he vaguely came into contact with the soul.

But after all that, it turns out this thing is just a regret among those feathers.

But before Bai Mo could even finish his internal monologue, a series of images appeared in his mind.

Bai Mo was searching for the Vermilion Bird's Seven Mansions, and saw those depicted on the murals.

An unknown divine bird, carrying the essence of fire, melted glaciers, created a world-destroying flood that submerged heaven and earth, and was finally cleaved into seven pieces by a mysterious figure.

But this time, a voice-over from the old Vermilion Bird appeared in Bai Mo's consciousness.

"You've probably seen all of these before. Perhaps you've wondered what my relationship is with this bird. You've handled its remains, and you might have some guesses."

"Then you guessed right, it is Jiang Gu, the ancient water god whom the sea monsters flocked to. He was born to bring water into the world, but he went too far and was killed by Xuanhuang."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was deeply shaken. Jiang Gu, Water God, Primordial Era, Xuanhuang—these names seemed to unveil a corner of this world that was once glorious, splendid, and mysterious.

But then he wondered, what does all this have to do with Suzaku?

But the old Vermilion Bird's next voice-over and the picture that suddenly appeared in his consciousness sent chills down Bai Mo's spine.

"I am Jiang Gu!"

With these words, Bai Mo could see wisps of soul light suddenly flying out from Jiang Gu's corpse, which had been submerged in the vast ocean.

Some of these soul lights flew into the sky, while others disappeared into the distant land of fire spirits, a place that resembled a fiery alien world.

"But I am not Jiang Gu either. The original Vermilion Bird was born in the Fire Spirit World. Its initial intelligence came from Jiang Gu's benevolent soul."

"The benevolent spirit gave the Fire Spirit Heaven and Earth sentience into being, and transformed into the Vermilion Bird. But at that time, the Vermilion Bird was not that powerful, nor was it the Vermilion Bird we know today."

As the words were spoken, a scene appeared in Bai Mo's consciousness: a lively Vermilion Bird was born in the Fire Spirit World.

The old Vermilion Bird continued speaking.

"The Vermilion Bird roamed the world and collected the other seven fragments of benevolent souls in Jianggu, but these fragments have already been integrated into the bodies of living beings. These are the original Vermilion Bird Seven Mansions."

The corresponding image appeared in Bai Mo's consciousness. Then, he saw the light and shadow change. The place where the Seven Mansions were born was suddenly propelled by a force to fly to an infinitely high altitude.

That must be the origin of the seven constellations of the Vermilion Bird in the sky.

"Over a long period of time, the Vermilion Bird formed a connection with the souls of the seven fragments of benevolent spirits, becoming an appendage. The Seven Constellations ascended to heaven, carrying with them a portion of the Vermilion Bird's essence. This is why the Seven Constellations were able to help the Vermilion Bird revive."

Bai Mo had been listening quietly, but at this point, he felt the topic had gone a bit off track.

Old Zhuque seemed somewhat addicted to recounting his past.

I know you're awesome, but I don't want to know that much.

Talk more about Xuanhuang and Jianggu.

Curiosity made Bai Mo feel like he was being scratched by cat claws, so he asked directly.

Why are the siren so drawn to the ruins of Jianggu?

The old Vermilion Bird, who seemed about to continue elaborating on how awesome he was, paused slightly.

Then a scene appeared in Bai Mo's consciousness.

The deep sea, the endless deep sea, in different seabeds, lie the corpses of the same creatures.

On the corpse, endless resentment erupted and spread, giving birth to twisted sea creatures.

The voice-over of the old Vermilion Bird also appeared at the right time.

"Jiang Gu's evil thoughts were unwilling to die, nor did he think he had done anything wrong. His evil thoughts polluted his remaining body and defiled the seawater, giving birth to the first deep-sea evil beast."

"These deep-sea monsters have evolved and multiplied for countless years. Even today's ocean gods and many sea monsters possess their bloodline. They are brutal, evil, and rampant."

"They seek out the remains of Jianggu in order to become stronger and to increase the number of evil beasts."

The old Vermilion Bird recounted the story in detail, but Bai Mo felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.

The Jianggu Remains are so strange. Luckily, I didn't have any thoughts about it back then, nor did I let Ding Yumin and the others have any thoughts about it.

At the same time, he also vaguely knew that the invasion of the land by the sea gods might not be solely due to the scarcity of resources in the ocean and the abundance of sea monsters.

There is also the connection to the Vermilion Bird, and most importantly, the remains of Jiang Gu.

When the floodwaters rose to the sky, the entire world was an ocean, and the seabed where the Jianggu wreckage was located was the seabed itself.

But now, some places that were originally oceans have long since become land.

Since the sea monsters couldn't reach the land, launching an invasion against the land was exactly what the sea gods needed.

Bai Mo's mind raced, and he couldn't help but ask again.

"What is Xuanhuang?"

"The most powerful being of the ancient times, who resided in Kunlun, the dimension of creation, perished with the world. I don't know, I've never seen him."

"Since you were born of heaven and earth, what about the Sea Eagle Moon Phoenix?"

Upon hearing this, the old Vermilion Bird chuckled and said, "This is the last question. Now that I've finished, I should be going."

After speaking, He didn't give Bai Mo much time before continuing:

"The Vermilion Bird is not immortal; we will all be reborn. But the methods are different. The Vermilion Bird's method is to be reborn from fire. However, the drawback of being reborn from fire is that there is no gain; instead, it damages one's original cultivation."

"Therefore, the Vermilion Bird also has a method of reincarnation, which is to borrow a body and return the soul. The Vermilion Bird's soul will be divided into thousands of parts and born in the bodies of other birds. If a soul awakens and begins to transform into a Vermilion Bird, the Vermilion Bird souls of the other birds will automatically return during this process."

"During this process, when the Vermilion Bird was a bird, it naturally left behind its bloodline, which is the origin of the Vermilion Bird's descendants totem."

"What about the Azure Dragon?"

"I don't know, every living being is unique."

After saying this, the old Vermilion Bird completely disappeared, and the spiritual world of various magical star seas reappeared before Bai Mo's eyes.

He, however, was still in a daze for a long time. The feeling of glimpsing the secrets of the world and the truth of the plane was simply too wonderful.

This information was truly shocking to him.

Just how ancient was the Vermilion Bird?

According to Him, there were no demons at that time, and certainly no humans.

Kunlun existed back then, and Xuanhuang resided there. So, does it still exist now? And what is the Creation Dimension that the old Vermilion Bird spoke of?

Bai Mo felt as if he had lifted one layer of the veil of the world, but beneath that veil, there was another layer of veil.

Shaking his head, Bai Mo stopped thinking about it and, following the connection with the Fire Star Sea, sensed his own Fire Transcendent Power.

Soon, he saw his own soul, a soul glowing with crimson fire.

His own fire-based transcendent power, the Fire Soul.

The effects became clear very quickly: with the Fire Soul, one's body could heal itself by being bathed in fire, and one's soul could be reborn by touching fire.

The Fire Soul allowed him to ignite the fire within his own star sea without needing to search for a source of ignition.

There are also some passive abilities, such as being immune to soul damage, and having a layer of soul protection.

Some demons or mages with strange and unpredictable skills are useless against him.

Bai Mo nodded in satisfaction, opened his eyes, and just then saw the Demon Capital approaching.

The waters off Shanghai are calm, and the demons lurking in the shadows seem to have left.

Violence!!

On its shoulder, the Vermilion Bird let out a long cry. Immediately afterwards, a figure flew out from Xiaoshan District. The Moon Phoenix and the Sea Falcon patrolled the Vermilion Bird several times over the sea area of ​​Shanghai before finally landing back in Xiaoshan.

As soon as he landed, Bai Mo keenly noticed that the snow that had accumulated on the mountain had melted at some point.

Looking further down into Xiaoshan, the Mingzhu Xiaoshan campus appears to be the same.

It was as if spring had returned to the earth, and the snow and ice had melted away.

Although it is still very cold, the temperature has returned to the normal level of Shanghai winters in previous years.

Bai Mo suddenly looked at Zhuque; its presence seemed to automatically dispel the cold currents brought by the ocean.

"Are you going to stay here?"

"Rage!"

"You need a place to cultivate and recover. Hmm, this place will do, but I've thought of a better place."

Bai Mo spoke thoughtfully, and finally asked:

"How far can you influence the temperature?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo saw the map of Kyushu transmitted by Zhuque through the contract in his mind.

Goodness, theoretically the entire Kyushu region would work, but a suitable location is needed.

The idea in Bai Mo's mind became even more urgent, so he simply said:

"I'll take you to the top of the Qinling Mountains; your underling is the boss there."

Above the cloud realm of the Qinling Mountains was originally a treasure land for the Feather Emperor to cultivate.

It would be perfect for Zhuque and Yue'ehuang to cultivate and recover there.

At the same time, the Qinling Mountains, as the junction of the north and south of China, are also an excellent temperature control point.

The Vermilion Bird doesn't need to make the entire Nine Provinces spring-like all year round; it only needs to prevent the Antarctic Emperor's cold air from invading.
