The Seventh Base

Chapter 1126: Chapter 172: Avery

Even though Xu Mo didn’t know he had already been put on some faction’s hit list, he could more or less guess it. From the information he obtained after invading Gao Mu’s memory, the other party basically wouldn’t let him go.

Back in the day, the Gosi Civilization faced an unprecedented disaster due to cloning technology. Now, the forces behind Gao Mu are experimenting with developing new types of cloning technology. Although it’s not perfect yet, they’ve already achieved some results, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to create another Gao Mu.

In the major cosmic powers, there are likely many factions conducting similar experiments, but all must be carried out underground, without exposure. Otherwise, once it becomes known which faction’s experiments are likely to succeed, they could immediately face collective attacks.

Once this experiment is perfected, it will be possible to mass-produce a clone army. Without restrictions, it would be catastrophic, an army of infinitely replicable killing machines.

The turmoil at the Mystic God Temple has settled, and the situation has taken shape. The Mystic God Temple has even started repairing the damaged structures without holding Zero accountable, which made many people sigh.

Indeed, power is justice.

Everything one does is right.

If there’s a mistake, the rules must be wrong, and it’s a matter of setting new ones.

After fully recovering, Xu Mo no longer dared to wander around recklessly. He was afraid he was already being watched now.

The Mystic God Temple is a Holy Land for cultivation, and Cultivators from various places come here. As long as one has talent, they can enter, with no restrictions on status. Therefore, various factions’ people must be present in the Mystic God Temple. Previously, there were even people from the Church mixed in here, and naturally, the military is no exception, and they are not few in number.

As a result, there may now be many eyes on him, watching his every move.

Leaving the Mystic God Temple might entail some risk.

In the past, it was just a struggle between the Blue Star Technology Group and the opposing faction, primarily offending the Tang Family. Although the Tang Family is a top-tier financial tycoon, they did not dare to act against him on Chloe Star because they couldn’t afford to offend the Mystic God Temple.

But this time, the nature of the situation is completely different. The forces behind Gao Mu might use various radical means to kill him.

It’s not just him. Xu Mo immediately contacted Ye Qingdie and Ross, asking Ross to move to the area near the Mystic God Temple to avoid danger.

After doing all this, Xu Mo entered a cultivation state, taking the opportunity to sort out his thoughts on how to break the deadlock.

This time, he originally intended to develop the group’s power, but now, he seems to be stuck again.

The creation of Source Gold Weapons needs to be put on the agenda. Last time in space, he suffered greatly, as the opponent equipped a new type of Battle Armor that blocks spiritual power attacks.

Mystic God Virtual Trial Field.

Xu Mo entered a state of cultivation, and his spiritual power integrated into the cosmic starry sky. He quickly discovered the presence of the Mystic God.

“Mystic God,” Xu Mo called.

“Do you have any powerful methods for cultivating spiritual power?” Xu Mo asked.

“There is no absolute superiority in the methods for cultivating spiritual power. The Gosi Civilization’s meditation technique suits you well. A person can be the cosmic center, or even the universe itself. Your spiritual power is your cosmic world,” a voice echoed in Xu Mo’s mind.

Their communication has always been through consciousness.

“Mystic God,” Xu Mo continued calling.

“I’m here,” Mystic God responded.

“Are you the founder of the Mystic God Temple?” Xu Mo asked.

The Mystic God didn’t answer this question; anything related to his identity, the Mystic God refused to answer.

To this day, Xu Mo still doesn’t know what the Mystic God actually is.

The Mystic God Temple, the Mystic God, seems like an originator.

However, if he’s the founder of the Mystic God Temple, he wouldn’t be so idle, staying in the Virtual World playing with him all the time, would he?

From this point of view, the Mystic God seems more like an Intelligent Body life form.

Could it be that the Intelligent Body developed self-awareness?

Xu Mo didn’t really hold much hope to begin with, knowing the Mystic God wouldn’t pay attention to such a question, so he didn’t continue to dwell on it but instead asked, “Mystic God, can you teach me a bit about the utilization of spiritual power?”

Not sure if the Mystic God would agree.

“Okay.”

A voice entered Xu Mo’s consciousness, and immediately a memory was directly planted into Xu Mo’s mind, becoming part of his memory.

“Damn!”

This easy?

Xu Mo silently complained in his heart, wondering why he waited until today to make a move.

Indeed, he was too ‘polite’, initially wanting to build a relationship with the Mystic God, not expecting the Mystic God to be so direct.

Xu Mo organized his thoughts; he had already mastered many methods of utilizing spiritual power.

Apart from attack techniques, it’s about controlling others.

Among them, one ability instantly caught Xu Mo’s attention.

Spiritual power transfer control?

This is absolute control.

Equivalent to using someone else’s body to do things. In fact, he had done similar simple things before, such as during the desert storm, when he invaded Heath O’Brien’s mind within the Spiritual Domain.

However, at that time, it wasn’t absolute control. Instead, it was about forcibly issuing commands to Heath O’Brien, making him perform the actions commanded, but in reality, Heath O’Brien was still resisting.

But now, the spiritual power methods granted by the Mystic God include absolute control, even to the extent of fully controlling a person’s actions, equivalent to borrowing the other person’s body.

This method is somewhat terrifying. He can use other’s bodies to do certain things. If such a method were controlled by evil people, it would be used in very sinister ways.

For example, committing various crimes using someone else’s body.

In addition, there are various applications of spiritual power, all enhancements of past methods.

In the future, he might be able to use abilities related to spiritual power more proficiently.

Xu Mo was immersed in the cultivation of spiritual power in the Mystic God Virtual Trial Field, gradually strengthening his spiritual power bit by bit.

Currently, Zero has cultivated the Revelation Book, and her strength has skyrocketed. Her combat power is now noticeably stronger than his, even able to directly clash with the rampaging Gao Mu. Although Gao Mu was injured, the explosive power he emitted was still terrifying, making it difficult for Xu Mo to withstand directly.

Since his girlfriend is so formidable, he needs to make an effort too.

The foundation of strength determines the superstructure; a man cannot lack status at home.

Therefore, although he was ready to focus on the group, he was forced to return to the cultivation state.

Let’s wait for Benjamin and the Blue Star Fleet to arrive before executing the next phase of the plan.

Tang Yuan and the others who fled back to the Tang family were not suspected, after all, they narrowly escaped death, with only a few people left. If the Tang family were to doubt this, it would seem a bit cold-hearted.

But precisely because of this, Xu Mo planted a pin within the Tang family.

While Xu Mo was immersed in the cultivation of spiritual power, the aftershocks of this storm continued to spread and reached other Mystic Temples, causing quite a stir for a while.

Xu Mo had previously refused challenges twice with ridiculous excuses, and people thought he deliberately avoided battles because his strength was unstable. But it turns out they underestimated this genius figure from Chloe Star.

Furthermore, Xu Mo’s girlfriend is so powerful?

They gathered information to find out: Zero had previously suppressed Xu Mo, being first in the Ten Temple Alliance, with Xu Mo third and at that time Oxso was second on the Capital Star.

Currently, Oxso has also become a Skywalker, and his combat power is very high. In a few more years, he should also have the chance to reach the Mystic God Ranking.

The debate about Xu Mo reaching the Mystic God Ranking finally subsided, with no one doubting Xu Mo’s strength.

In addition, the Mystic God Ranking saw significant adjustments due to the storm at the Chloe Star Mystic Temple.

Zero forcefully entered the ranking, just breaking through to the Skywalker Realm, directly replacing Gao Mu, ranking eighteenth on the Mystic God Ranking.

Their direct confrontation eventually ended with Zero having the upper hand. However, considering Gao Mu’s spiritual power was injured at the time and therefore unable to continuously withstand spiritual impact, he was suppressed.

Thus, although Zero replaced Gao Mu’s position, she did not leap upwards, as everyone above is truly top-notch Skywalkers.

As for Xu Mo, he was temporarily placed at the thirtieth position on the Mystic God Ranking, moving directly from the bottom to a prominent position.

Similarly, it was based on his direct confrontation with Gao Mu. Despite being suppressed in the end and severely injured, the combat power he displayed was astonishing, and he also injured Gao Mu.

Thus, his ranking leaped forward.

The two of them, a pair of boyfriend and girlfriend, are both Transcendents of the Chloe Star Mystic Temple who recently entered the Skywalker level, ranking eighteenth and thirtieth respectively, causing a storm on the Mystic God Ranking.

As a result, the long-absent existence on the Mystic God Ranking from various Mystic Temples appeared back in sight.

On this day, Wang Ming approached Xu Mo, saying someone wanted to meet him.

Xu Mo met Wang Ming at the Mystic Temple, and then saw the person who wanted to meet him. He looked to be in his thirties, neat and capable, giving a ‘clean’ impression.

“Brother Avery.” Wang Ming introduced to Xu Mo: “This is Junior Xu Mo.”

Avery extended his hand, smiling, “I’ve heard of Junior Xu Mo’s name while outside, our Chloe Star Mystic Temple has produced two real geniuses.”

After shaking hands with the other party, Xu Mo smiled and said, “Brother Avery overpraises me. I often hear people talk about Brother Avery, the idol of our Chloe Star Mystic Temple cultivators.”

Avery, the number one cultivator of the Chloe Star Mystic Temple, ranked seventh on the Mystic God Ranking.

Aside from the Taros Temple Master and some elders, he is the strongest.

Being seventh on the Mystic God Ranking, many elders of the Mystic Temple might not be able to surpass him.

“Please sit, Junior Xu Mo.” Avery said, although he ranked highest, he gave a very comfortable impression, without any overbearing attitude, making people feel very cordial.

The three of them sat on the sofa together, and Avery spoke, “What I said earlier was not just courtesy. In our Chloe Star Mystic Temple, I am currently ranked first, but I’m only seventh on the Mystic God Ranking. If placed externally, everyone entering the Mystic Temple is a genius. Yet, according to the Mystic God Ranking, having cultivated for many years, I’m just seventh, which is nothing much. You and Zero will surpass me sooner or later. That’s why I say our Chloe Star Mystic Temple has produced two real geniuses.”

“I don’t think just relying on time one can reach seventh on the Mystic God Ranking.” Xu Mo smiled. Avery was humble, but Xu Mo had a clear understanding.

Being seventh on the Mystic God Ranking undoubtedly holds full weight; time alone is not enough, only truly powerful ones can achieve it.

“Depends on who you compare with.” Avery didn’t dwell too much on this issue, but instead said to Xu Mo, “Junior Xu Mo, I’ve heard about your matter with Gao Mu. Do you have significant conflicts? All of you are top Skywalkers from our Chloe Star Mystic Temple. If it’s not irreconcilable, I still hope our Chloe Star Skywalkers can be united.”

This matter has no room for reconciliation. Even if he lets the other party go, the other won’t spare him either.

Avery seemed intent on mediating. If he were demanding reconciliation based on his status, Xu Mo might not entertain him. But Avery’s tone showed he wasn’t leveraging his status and was respectfully inquiring, so Xu Mo didn’t mind.

“Brother Avery, I don’t want to involve others in this matter, so it’s inconvenient to say too much, but this conflict cannot be resolved.” Xu Mo shook his head and said.

Avery roughly understood from Xu Mo’s words. There surely are hidden truths in this matter.

“Alright, then I won’t persuade. It’s just a pity.” Avery didn’t say much more. He just didn’t want to see severe internal conflicts.
