Chapter 231: Ch 231- Holy Base

As Mo Yuan jumped back toward the flying boat, a small crater appeared on the ground beneath him.

A moment later, he landed on the deck.

BOOM!

The flying boat shook from the impact but its defensive formations quickly activated and stabilized it.

Mo Yuan looked at the people standing on the deck.

Everyone was staring at him with wide eyes, as if they had just seen something unbelievable.

The only exception was Goldy, who was still sleeping comfortably in Bai Ningning’s arms. He seemed completely unconcerned about what had just happened, as if he had already expected the outcome.

Mo Yuan walked toward the others and David was the first to speak.

"Mo Yuan... just how strong are you?"

He looked at Mo Yuan with an expression of disbelief.

"I don’t think I could kill that beast with a single strike like you did."

Hearing this, the others were even more shocked.

David was one of the strongest cultivators in Cang Lan Base. Yet, even he admitted that he couldn’t easily kill the late-stage Sovereign Realm beast and Mo Yuan had done it with a single strike.

The fact that Mo Yuan was still at the Peak Origin Lord Realm made the scene even more unbelievable.

Mo Yuan smiled lightly.

"Haha, it was just careless and arrogant. It didn’t even activate its talent. I guess it underestimated me and paid the price."

He shrugged as if killing a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast was nothing special.

David looked at him for a moment before taking a deep breath.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

"You really are different."

He had last seen Mo Yuan several months ago. Back then, Mo Yuan had already been able to kill Peak Origin Soul Realm beasts despite being at the Origin Soul Realm himself.

And now, he had reached the Peak Origin Lord Realm and could kill a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast with a single strike.

David couldn’t help but shake his head.

Mo Yuan had already reached the same level of strength as him.

No, he was probably even stronger.

David took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Well, with you aboard, I don’t think we have to worry about anything during this journey. We only need to worry about a Monarch Realm cultivator but that is almost impossible to encounter."

"Okay, Senior."

David nodded and returned to his private room.

On the other side, Mo Yuan turned toward Mu Qingying and the others.

Seeing their shocked expressions, he couldn’t help but smile.

Mo Ran was the first to approach him.

"Wow, Brother! You’re so strong! You can even kill a Sovereign Realm beast!"

Her eyes were shining with excitement.

Mo Yuan rubbed her forehead.

"Okay, okay. You don’t have to be so excited."

Meanwhile, Qin Wushang stood silently, looking at Mo Yuan.

For a long time, he had considered Mo Yuan a rival.

He knew Mo Yuan was strong even when they were both at the Origin Soul Realm. However, he had always thought that as they reached higher realms, the difference between them would gradually become smaller.

After all, crossing a minor realm was not easy and the gap between cultivators became even greater as they advanced but what he had witnessed today had completely shattered that belief.

Mo Yuan had killed a late-stage Sovereign Realm beast while still at the Peak Origin Lord Realm.

Qin Wushang took a deep breath.

For the first time, he felt that competing with Mo Yuan was pointless, the gap between them was simply too great.

He lowered his head slightly, trying to calm the complicated feelings in his heart.

Mo Yuan, on the other hand, looked at the others.

They were still staring at him as if he were some kind of monster.

He smiled helplessly.

"Come on, guys. Stop looking at me like that. I’m still your friend."

Hearing this, everyone finally began to relax.

Mu Shaobei walked forward and patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder.

"Buddy, you’re really hiding a lot. At this rate, you’ll probably become one of the greatest human geniuses."

"Haha, you’re exaggerating."

The others also nodded.

Mu Qingying looked at him and said with a smile, "Yes, Mo Yuan. You really are a monster."

Mo Yuan could only smile awkwardly.

After a while, everyone finally started talking normally again.

They discussed about what they would do after reaching the Holy Base.

It took them some time to get used to Mo Yuan’s strength but after a few minutes, they were comfortable around him again.

Mo Yuan sighed in relief.

He had been worried that everyone would start treating him differently after seeing his strength.

Fortunately, they were still the same people.

With that, the flying boat continued its journey through the sky, heading toward the Holy Base.

The vast Endless Forest stretched beneath them, while the distant horizon slowly came into view.

Three hours later,

David suddenly opened the door to his private room and walked out.

Looking at everyone on the deck, he said, "Get ready. We will reach the Holy Base in about half an hour."

Hearing this, Mo Yuan and the others nodded.

Mo Yuan then walked toward the edge of the deck and looked down.

From a distance, he could see a massive spherical dome covering a vast area of land. It was barely visible at first but as the flying boat continued moving forward, the enormous structure gradually became clearer.

Mo Yuan’s eyes lit up.

"Is that the Holy Base?"

David, who was standing beside him, smiled.

"Yes, that’s right. The Holy Base is protected by a powerful formation. It has all kinds of defensive abilities and even Monarch Realm cultivators would find it difficult to break through."

He paused for a moment before adding, "Also, flying is not allowed inside the base. Once we enter, we will have to follow the rules."

Mo Yuan nodded as he continued looking at the enormous dome.

David then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Mo Yuan, do you know English?"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan nodded.

"Yes, Senior. I can speak English."

"That’s good. People in the Holy Base mainly use English. Although there are translation tools available, it will be better if you can communicate directly."

David then took out a small device from his storage ring.

"This is a translation tool. You can use it if you have trouble understanding someone."

Mo Yuan accepted the device and examined it for a moment before putting it away.

He then turned his attention back toward the Holy Base.

As the flying boat approached the dome, Mo Yuan became curious and tried to expand his Origin Sense.

However, he stopped himself before doing so.

He didn’t know whether the formation would react if he tried to scan it with his Origin Sense.

After all, this was the Holy Base and the formation protecting it was far beyond anything he had encountered before.

So, he decided to simply observe it with his eyes.

Soon, the flying boat approached the dome and Mo Yuan was finally able to get a clear view of the Holy Base.

His eyes widened slightly.

It was enormous.

The entire base was surrounded by a massive spherical formation and countless buildings could be seen inside.

The area covered by the base was probably around five thousand square kilometers.

For comparison, Mo Yuan thought of New York, which covered only around seven hundred square kilometers.

The Holy Base was several times larger.

And to think that such a massive area had been built in the wilderness and protected by a formation...

Mo Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This was truly the difference between an ordinary base and the strongest human base.

The flying boat continued moving toward the enormous dome, bringing Mo Yuan and the others closer to the Holy Base.
