The Seventh Base

Chapter 1045: Chapter 106: Turning Down the Invitation (Part 2)

“It’s not easy to take the people from Coriade Star Domain out either, unless they don’t go to guard the Holy Land Gate at the Dome Cave, otherwise, there might be others trying to seize the Source Gold.” Lowell said.

“Indeed.” Xu Mo nodded. Taman will soon take the Heavenly God Race people to the Holy Land Gate. After a period of cultivation in the opportunity grounds, the various forces may eventually all head to the Holy Land Gate to try their luck.

On the contrary, those who are not top figures will seize the opportunity to cultivate in those places previously occupied, because for the vast majority, the opportunities at the Holy Land Gate have nothing to do with them.

“Senior Brother, where are we going now?” Lowell asked. “The Monument of the Milky Way?”

Currently, they have already been to three of the seven opportunity grounds.

Desert Beast, Mo Mountain Axe, Dome Cave’s Gold.

There are still the Monument of the Milky Way, Canyon Sound, Centimeter Light Speed, and the Holy Land Gate remaining.

Is the next target the Monument of the Milky Way?

Lowell even wishes to visit all places in the last few months, making the trip worthwhile.

“There may not be enough time, only four months left, and time must be reserved for the Holy Land Gate, perhaps it’s only enough for one place. I plan to go to the Canyon Sound, heard that the O’Brian Republic and the Empire were fighting there, and now the situation is unknown.” Xu Mo said.

“You can go to the Centimeter Light Speed opportunity ground; it’s occupied by Transcendents from the Saint Tiya Star Domain, but they will definitely also head to the Holy Land Gate. It may be worth considering going there to cultivate, and as for the Holy Land Gate, you can choose whether to go or not. Even if there are opportunities there, the competition will be fierce.”

Lowell pondered Xu Mo’s words, which seemed reasonable.

At the Holy Land Gate, without opportunities, there’s no need to waste time, and with opportunities, most are cannon fodder.

He excels in speed, and Centimeter Light Speed, as the name suggests, is a place to cultivate speed.

“I’ll go there with Lowell.” Hudson said.

“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded. “But don’t act impulsively.”

“Understood, we’ll be cautious and see how things unfold. You take care too, Senior Brother.” Lowell nodded. As long as they don’t have direct conflicts with people, those at the trial ground won’t attack deliberately.

“Okay.” After the parties agreed, they went their separate ways.

Now that time was tight, it was barely enough to comprehend one place.

The reason Lowell and Hudson decided to head to Centimeter Light Speed was to find their opportunities to further enhance themselves, after seeing Augustus continuing his cultivation at Mo Mountain.

Augustus had been cultivating at Mo Mountain for more than two years and planned to continue his cultivation at the Mo Mountain Axe, prompting them to also strive for their improvement.

Compared to other opportunity grounds, Centimeter Light Speed was the place most likely suited for them.

After parting ways, only Xu Mo and Zero were left here, with a little creature accompanying them.

Xu Mo took the Ancient Beast from Zero’s arms, lifted its ears slightly, and then cradled it: “You did well this time, I’ll reward you with more in the future.”

“Oooo…” The Ancient Beast looked up at Zero, is this really human?

Zero glared at Xu Mo, then they summoned a flying monster, seated on it, flying over the trial ground.

……

A hundred miles from Canyon Sound, a group of people walked along the path, with dust settling on their brilliant armor, indicating their experienced journey.

Yet the eyes of those walking at the forefront were still bright and spirited, their sharpness concealed.

The leader possessed a noble and imposing aura, asking the person beside him, “Four months left, right?”

This person was Heath O’Brien from the O’Brian Republic.

“Yes.” The person next to him nodded.

“The Kales Empire kept waging war against us, causing us to miss all of the seven opportunity grounds. Despite gaining much in over two years of trials, there were no significant advancements.” Heath O’Brien’s eyes flashed with unwillingness and a hint of coldness, saying, “We can’t miss the Holy Land Gate.”

“Many have left; various major forces might all head to the Holy Land Gate. Consequently, those top Transcendents who occupied various opportunity grounds should be leaving, looking for their chances.” Pulosi, who had been with Heath O’Brien, said.

“Let them be.” Heath O’Brien said, “Since everyone is here for the trials, everyone can make their own choices. Pulosi, the Holy Land Gate might hold opportunities left by the Imperial Family’s ancestors; other opportunity grounds can be missed, but the Holy Land Gate must be seen.”

Pulosi nodded thoughtfully, understanding that Heath O’Brien thought this way, just like everyone else.

In more than two years, they all made progress, but many top figures from various star domains were no inferior in strength, with some even stronger.

If the Holy Land Gate indeed holds opportunities, it wouldn’t be easy to seize.

They had been at a disadvantage in the ongoing contention with the Kales Empire, which was more cohesive than the O’Brian Republic.

“Someone’s coming.” At this moment, Pulosi looked into the distance, spotting a flying monster in the distant sky, with two faint figures on its back.

“Xu Mo?” Pulosi showed a look of surprise; those two were indeed Xu Mo and Zero.

Xu Mo and Zero noticed the O’Brian Republic people as well, but didn’t immediately disengage, which would have seemed deliberate.

The monster descended towards the ground, hovering in front of the O’Brian Republic group. Heath O’Brien’s eyes showed a smile, and he spoke, “Xu Mo.”

“Mr. Heiss.” Xu Mo responded.

Heath O’Brien understood Xu Mo’s distant demeanor. Upon entering the trial ground initially, Xu Mo had helped eliminate the Kales Empire challenger, only for Xu Mo to leave the group later on.

“Xu Mo, I was a bit worried when you left the group, but seeing you’re fine now puts my mind at ease.” Heath O’Brien said, “How have you been these past two years?”

“Searching for opportunities everywhere.” Xu Mo replied.

“That’s…” At this moment, Heath O’Brien noticed the Ancient Beast in Zero’s arms and asked, “The Desert Beast?”

“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded, “We got lucky, this little one was being hunted and we encountered it.”

“Luck is also a form of strength.” Heath O’Brien said, “We are now heading to the Holy Land Gate, come with us.”

“I’ve heard many forces plan to go to the Holy Land Gate. My strength isn’t enough to join the commotion, but with the major opportunity grounds vacant, I might try my luck for my opportunity.” Xu Mo responded.

Heath O’Brien’s eyes flickered with an unusual color; Xu Mo’s idea wasn’t bad to forgo the Holy Land Gate and explore some abandoned opportunity grounds for luck.

However, Xu Mo and Zero aren’t weak in combat power, and having cultivated for two and a half years, their presence should be a help now.

Heading to the Holy Land Gate is precisely when they could use more people.

“Xu Mo, the Taros Temple Master holds you in high regard. The Holy Land Gate might contain opportunities left by the Imperial Family. Even if there’s no opportunity in the end, at least give it a try. I believe in your ability and talent.” Heath O’Brien persuaded, “Moreover, with us, we can compete with other forces, not without a chance.”

“With you guys?” Xu Mo silently retorted in his heart.

There were some Mystic God Temple Transcendents here, but going with Heath O’Brien likely means being cannon fodder again.

As for the opportunity, could it be his?

“Xu Mo, it could be worth a try.” Pulosi also persuaded. Xu Mo’s talent was considered top-notch even in the Mystic God Temple, perhaps not the strongest, but still within the top tier.

“I’ll first try my luck elsewhere, and if there’s still time, I might consider going to the Holy Land Gate.” Xu Mo feigned hesitation and said, “Mr. Heiss, we’ll take our leave first.”

With that said, the monster soared into the distance.

Heath O’Brien watched Xu Mo’s departing figure with a slightly displeased expression; this talent from the Mystic God Temple was indeed a bit discourteous.
