The Seventh Base

Xu Mo didn't go to collect the rewards; he still used the last bit of time to enhance his power. The final battle at the Wanxiang Virtual Training Ground gave him some insights, and Heavenly Net Myriad Forms can still improve.

As for the rewards he exchanged, in reality, most were exchanged for others, with a few reserved for when his Source Power Level steps into SS level for better effect. After the tempering of his body by Thunder God 7, the Source Power Level had already reached a bottleneck, just a step away from breaking through.

This time, at the Ten Temple Alliance, who knows what the result will be, but since there's a chance to compete for the Mystic God Temple's 'true disciple' status, he will naturally strive for it.

Becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple means stronger cultivation resources and better training, entering the core of the Mystic God Temple is extremely beneficial for him in every aspect.

After the Ten Temple Alliance ends, he plans to go see Sister Butterfly and the others; it's been three months since he's seen them, having been busy with cultivation.

At this time, Erin Uranos sent a message.

Xu Mo immediately called back.

"Xu Mo, am I interrupting your cultivation?" Erin Uranos asked.

Beside him, Zero looked towards Xu Mo, blinking, confirming her thoughts...

"No, I've finished cultivating, and I'm with Zero." Xu Mo glanced at Zero and said, full of survival instinct.

"Mmm." Erin Uranos tactfully replied, "Then I won't disturb you two."

"It's fine, how's your recent cultivation?" Xu Mo asked.

"It's okay, but as expected, I haven't passed any Virtual Trial Grounds." Erin said somewhat dejectedly. In fact, the settings of any Virtual Trial Ground are strong; unless one's cultivation reaches a certain intensity, there's no chance to pass, otherwise, they can't pass that barrier.

"Need some sparring?" Xu Mo asked. The Ten Temple Alliance is tomorrow, and a last-minute practical trial might be of some help to Erin.

"If it's convenient for you, sure." Erin Uranos responded.

"Alright, let's go to the Trial Ground, I can also let Zero practice with you, my girlfriend is very strong too." Xu Mo said with a smile, glancing at Zero.

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, Zero immediately felt very pleased.

Luckily, this guy isn't like with Elizabeth before; Elizabeth used to always be at odds with her, which was very frustrating to think about.

"I couldn't ask for more." Erin Uranos replied with a smile. Although she has some fondness for Xu Mo, since Xu Mo has a girlfriend, she doesn't think much about it, being able to maintain a friendship with Xu Mo is enough. Now, with Xu Mo allowing Zero to interact with her, it helps them get closer.

When they arrived at the practical training ground, there were quite a few people there, and when they saw Xu Mo coming, many gazes fell on them.

"Erin." Xu Mo called out, Erin Uranos had already arrived early, waiting there for them.

"Xu Mo, Zero." Erin Uranos greeted with a smile.

"Let's go to the practical field." Xu Mo said, noticing quite a few people staring at him, but he didn't mind.

"The Ten Temple Alliance is about to start, and the decision is to rank based on classification. You will participate in the Ten Temple Alliance as the first-ranked from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple." Erin Uranos said to Xu Mo.

Upon hearing Erin's words, Xu Mo instantly understood, no wonder...

Since being put in the first position in classification, he has always been a focus of attention.

When the two of them started sparring in the Trial Ground, they were still watched by many people. However, they saw Xu Mo wasn't seriously attacking but was defending against Erin Uranos' attacks while occasionally giving some pointers.

For Erin Uranos, sparring with Xu Mo once again still felt somewhat powerless; seeing Xu Mo handle her with ease showed the huge gap between them.

This made Erin Uranos somewhat doubtful, with Xu Mo's strength, shouldn't he be able to pass through six Virtual Trial Grounds?

Afterwards, Xu Mo let Zero take the field, and Zero didn't know restraint; every sword strike was extremely domineering, sending Erin Uranos flying.

After the battle ended, Erin Uranos asked, "How many Virtual Trial Grounds have you passed?"

There were quite a few rumors outside, but she didn't believe them. In fact, many people didn't think Xu Mo could pass only one, but so far, Xu Mo had only claimed a reward once.

"Zero passed six." Xu Mo said.

"I knew it." Erin Uranos thought to herself.

"I've passed them all." Xu Mo said.

"Ah?" Erin Uranos was taken aback.

"All passed." Xu Mo repeated.

"Nine?" Erin Uranos looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Xu Mo nodded.

Erin Uranos: "..."

"So, it's not that you're weak, it's that I'm relatively strong." Xu Mo wanted to instill some confidence in Erin Uranos, preventing her from self-doubt.

"...…" Erin Uranos looked at him with a peculiar expression.

She couldn't pass one, while Xu Mo passed them all.

Hmm, he's really good at comforting people, now she was questioning her life.

"Let's go, today we'll rest well." Xu Mo said, and Erin Uranos nodded, the three of them walking toward the outside.

There were quite a few people here, and as they saw Xu Mo and his friends approaching, one person shouted, "Xu Mo."

Xu Mo looked at the person calling him, and Erin also glanced at the person, frowning. It was someone recommended by her Uranos Family, Katie.

"Tomorrow is the Ten Temple Alliance," Katie began.

Xu Mo didn't speak. Of course, he knew that tomorrow was the Ten Temple Alliance.

"Cultivators from the Mystic God Temples of the ten main stars will all appear together, including the headquarters of the Capital Star Ao Temple." Katie continued, "At that time, prominent figures from the ten temples will be there; strong individuals appear in every session, like on the Capital Star."

"What are you trying to express?" Xu Mo asked.

"What I mean is, you will participate as the top rank from the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple at that time, representing the image of the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple. Can you bear this responsibility? If you are at a disadvantage in the confrontation with other Mystic God Temples, it will affect the overall image of our Mystic God Temple," Katie said. "If I were you, I would go to the elder actively, no matter why you're ranked first, but at least for now, your combat power has not reached that level."

Xu Mo finally understood.

"If you're unhappy, you can go yourself," Xu Mo looked at Katie and said, then lifted his foot and continued walking forward.

"Xu Mo." At this time, Gisman next to Katie looked at his back and said with a smile, "Augustus has already passed through the Eight Great Virtual Training Grounds."

Xu Mo didn't stop his steps, continuing forward, too lazy to pay attention.

Erin Uranos did stop, looked at Katie and Gisman. She had decided to cut ties with Gisman before, not expecting Katie to mix with Gisman, probably trying to leverage Gisman.

"How many virtual trial grounds have you passed?" Erin Uranos asked Katie and Gisman.

"Three." Gisman responded.

"Ranked eighth on the leaderboard, having passed three, that's not bad." Erin Uranos nodded, with Gisman showing a smile. But then, Erin Uranos continued, "Xu Mo, passed nine."

Gisman was stunned, looking at Erin.

"You passed three because your strength can only achieve three; Xu Mo passed nine, perhaps because the Virtual Trial Ground only has nine?" Erin Uranos continued to pierce, then lifted her foot and left.

Gisman watched Erin leave, still not recovering his senses, then his face became extremely embarrassed.

He didn't believe it!

How could Xu Mo have passed the nine Virtual Trial Grounds? Even Augustus, ranked first on the leaderboard, hadn't done it.

Obviously, Gisman was unwilling to believe it, but such matters, Erin Uranos wasn't likely to lie about, as it could easily be debunked.

But he had been comparing himself to Xu Mo all along, so how could he accept that Xu Mo passed the nine Great Virtual Trial Grounds?

Especially with Erin Uranos's last words: Your three Trial Grounds were due to your limited strength, but Xu Mo passing the nine is because there are only nine.

Around, discussions kept arising, with many people having some doubts, but rationality told them this could be true, with Xu Mo, ranked first in the SS tier at Mystic God Temple, possibly accomplishing something Augustus hadn't.

If so, the arrangements by Mystic God Temple were incontestable.

This news stirred quite a commotion within Mystic God Temple.

Of course, Xu Mo wasn't interested in these things. After returning to his room, Xu Mo and Zero stuck together, having rested for such a long time and needing some relaxation.

The next day, a voice simultaneously sounded in all the newcomers' rooms, notifying them to enter the virtual world.

Xu Mo returned to the cultivation cabin, with everyone synchronizing connections. Along with the sensation of space-time travel, Xu Mo's figure entered the virtual world.

This was the headquarters of Mystic God Temple, the Capital Star Ao Temple.

Not only had Xu Mo arrived, but over three hundred newcomers from the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, as well as some Mystic God Temple elders, had also arrived here, their figures appearing one after another, gathering here.

Then, in other directions, large crowds appeared as well.

The ten great Mystic God Temples gathered here.

Thousands of people appearing simultaneously was quite a spectacle. Xu Mo glanced at the vast crowd appearing opposite, many people looking around, sizing each other up.

Then, he surveyed the surrounding environment, which somewhat resembled the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple.

"This virtual scene is the headquarters of Mystic God Temple. Next, we'll be spending some time in the virtual world." Beside, Erin Uranos explained to Xu Mo.

"I see." Xu Mo nodded, realizing that this virtual world was modeled after the Mystic God Temple headquarters.

Interstellar travel takes a lot of time, arriving directly from the virtual world is of course much more convenient.

Elder Cleo walked forward, with an elder from the Mystic God Temple headquarters standing there, the people from various Mystic God Temples gathering together.

"Cleo, how are the levels of your newcomers this year?" asked the elder from Mystic God Temple across, addressing Cleo.

"Not bad, not bad." Cleo said with a smile.

"What does 'not bad' mean, the same level as last year?" The elder smiled and asked. Last year, Chloe Star's overall quality assessment was relatively low, especially in terms of top combat power, at a lower level.

Cleo squinted his eyes; the competition between Mystic God Temples on different planets was also quite intense. The true disciple quotas of the Mystic God Temple are very rare and have very high requirements. Any Mystic God Temple winning a true disciple quota is an honor.

"A bit better than last year." Cleo said.

"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it," the elder smiled. This year, their newcomers' quality is very high.

Not only that, but reportedly, several super talents have emerged at the headquarters of the Capital Star Mystic God Temple.
