The Seventh Base

Palace Master Talos and Elder Cleo both looked at Xu Mo, waiting for his answer.

"I agree." Xu Mo responded directly without hesitation.

There's no need to think about it. Where in the world do you find such an easy bargain? You don't even want to truly join the Mystic God Temple, but you want to enjoy its scarce resources. The Mystic God Temple provides you with cultivation methods and the finest weapons, and then you just walk away?

In that case, the Mystic God Temple would indeed be a big fool, with its top talents leaving with benefits.

Currently, he is only at the Emperor Realm Cultivation level, and the rewards he receives are already SS-level.

But if one day he cultivates into a Skywalker, he would need even more powerful cultivation resources, weapons, and equipment. Would Mystic God Temple provide them for free then?

That is clearly unrealistic. When first joining the Divine Sword Bureau, you also had to follow their orders.

Moreover, becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple is currently beneficial for him. He can use the Temple's resources and connections to enhance himself. Also, the Church's side will be protected by the Mystic God Temple.

Being a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple is a status symbol in the O'Brian Republic. This identity holds significant meaning; at the very least, it directly places one into the elite class of the O'Brian Republic.

No one would refuse such a status.

"Then I agree too." Zero spoke, indifferent to the matter.

"Hmm." Both Palace Master Talos and Elder Cleo nodded with smiles. It was no surprise, as no one has ever refused to become a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple.

"From now on, you are true disciples of the Mystic God Temple. The Temple will upload your information into the database, unlocking more cultivation resources for you, including higher-level ones through the Ten Temple resource sharing," Elder Cleo said.

Being a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple means entering the core of the Temple. They will enjoy the cultivation resources of the entire Mystic God Temple, not limited to any one temple.

"Thank you, Elder." Xu Mo said. He owed his entry into the Mystic God Temple to Elder Cleo's assistance.

From now on, he could be considered to have a firm footing in the O'Brian Republic.

"Next, you must cultivate well. Becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple gives you the chance to receive guidance from various Hall Masters in cultivation," Cleo hinted with a smile. From his observations over the past three months, although Xu Mo's combat power isn't the strongest and he isn't yet at the top compared to Cleo and some prominent figures from previous terms, his potential is vast, with a chance to surpass them in the future.

In the Mystic God Temple, becoming a true disciple practically makes one directly affiliated, and gaining the Hall Master's favor is akin to a mentor-student relationship, with a promising future.

If Xu Mo can reach that point, he will have the opportunity to ascend further.

"Hmm." Xu Mo nodded.

"If there's anything, you can find me." Palace Master Talos also spoke with a smile.

"Alright." Xu Mo replied, and then he left.

After the two left, Palace Master Talos showed a look of interest, looking at Cleo and saying, "Do you guess which Hall Master they have the chance to become students of?"

"Palace Master, I can't guess," Cleo shook his head with a wry smile. Though he was an elder of the Mystic God Temple, his status was still a notch lower, and only their Palace Master would joke with him casually.

"Let's see their luck," Talos laughed.

"No matter which Hall Master's students they become, they all walked out from our Chloe Star Mystic God Temple," Cleo said.

"Then they should thank me," Talos said. Although the ten Mystic God Temples internally compete, they are ultimately one family and do not distinguish so clearly. A true disciple of the Mystic God Temple might become a student of any Hall Master.

On the way back, Xu Mo met Augustus. This time, the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple obtained three true disciple placements. Augustus, like them, now started at the same point.

Becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple had no ceremony, nor was it publicly announced.

However, small news still spread from the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple.

Xu Mo, Zero, and Augustus all became true disciples, and they were the only ones among the ten Mystic God Temples to have three placements. Allegedly, there were only eight placements for the true discipleship altogether.

The Chloe Star Mystic God Temple got three, the Capital Star Mystic God Temple got two, and the other three Mystic God Temples each got one. The high gold content of these placements is evident.

The Chloe Star Mystic God Temple produced three prominent figures who may become Great Practitioners in the Mystic God Temple in the future.

......

In the Cultivation Cabin, Xu Mo lay connected with the instruments, entering the control panel.

After becoming a true disciple of the Mystic God Temple, he gained more privileges and unlocked a series of cultivation methods, combat skills, and virtual trial grounds, along with an additional virtual cultivation space.

"What's different about these cultivation methods and combat skills?" Xu Mo pondered. These newly unlocked resources should be the more core resources of the Mystic God Temple, undoubtedly more powerful.

Xu Mo chose the combat skill panel, where the distinctions are most apparent. He wanted to see what was different about the unlocked combat skills.

"Asura."

Xu Mo's heart stirred at the sight of a certain combat skill. Here, the standard is Thunder Attribute Combat Skills, but the name of this skill seemed odd, being called Asura.

"This is it."

Xu Mo was quite familiar with Thunder Attribute Energy, and he decided to see what kind of combat skills this Asura technique truly was, given its name.

Xu Mo unlocked his mind and confirmed entry.

In the next instant, Xu Mo's consciousness was swept into a virtual world.

It seemed like he was in the starry sky, with a vast and grand oppressive force overwhelming him, making it hard for Xu Mo to breathe.

Although this was a virtual world, the oppression felt very real and tangible.

The terrifying Thunder Power was omnipresent, and Xu Mo felt the pressure of this lightning power, which seemed like divine wrath, far surpassing his own thunder energy.

The frightful thunder power was everywhere, forming a terrifying Thunder Domain before him, as if one step forward would result in being shattered by this domain.

Xu Mo slowly raised his head, and his heart skipped a beat. Within the Thunder Domain, there was a figure, controlling the thunder power, with a silhouette that appeared large and divine, as if a phantom surrounded him.

"Asura."

Xu Mo murmured to himself, the scene before him was so vivid that even the practitioner seemed to truly exist, allowing him to genuinely experience the might of the combat skills.

"Boom..."

The terrifying thunder erupted, starting to spread to the surroundings, with every strand of thunder seeming to contain the power of Asura, destroying everything it passed by, forming a vast Asura Domain in the area.

The pressure Xu Mo felt grew stronger, as though it was an oppression that targeted the soul.

"Bang."

Finally, Xu Mo reached his limit of endurance, his consciousness wiped out, returning him to the real world.

"Huff..."

He let out a heavy breath, his heart pounding wildly, and as he opened his eyes, a bright light flashed through his pupils.

This was the cultivation insight of a Skywalker, and the combat skills unlocked later on might all be like this, with great practitioners within, allowing them to genuinely feel the true power of combat skills.

Moreover, these combat skills could not be mastered in one step unless one became a great practitioner and could truly grasp their power.

Xu Mo tried entering another combat skill space, and sure enough, it confirmed his suspicions.

Practicing in such an environment could greatly improve training efficiency and deepen one's insights.

However, his current pressure resistance was still somewhat weak and needed further training.

Thinking about this, Xu Mo planned to wholeheartedly cultivate for a period of time.

He had never had such a good training environment before, and now, he had to cherish it, planning to retreat for cultivation for a while.

With that thought, Xu Mo immediately immersed himself into the cultivation state.

A month later, thunder roared in Xu Mo's room, erupting from his body, like a thunderclap, with a booming sound. Horrifying Thunder Light coursed around him, and his bones crackled loudly, still suppressed by him; otherwise, it would be even more intense.

After round after round of cleansing, the imposing aura finally dissipated, and Xu Mo took a deep breath, the Thunder Light flowing all over him, sensing a more powerful force brewing within.

This was the ultimate ordeal.

During the Ten Temple Alliance, Xu Mo felt that he was close to breaking through. Afterward, his spiritual power broke through first, and after a month of cultivation, his Source Power Level also broke through, both reaching SS-level, which was the ultimate ordeal.

The next realm would be his goal for coming to the Mystic God Temple, the Skywalker.

After breaking through, Xu Mo did not enter the Cultivation Cabin to continue training but instead took out a Genetic Evolution Liquid.

He took out a type of Genetic Evolution Liquid and placed it in front of him. This was a strengthening Genetic Evolution Liquid, capable of enhancing strength and defense, making the body's muscle fibers harden, as tough and indestructible as metal.

In the universe, there are many different races, with some naturally possessing special talents, but ordinary humans do not. They need to rely on Genetic Evolution Items to evolve. On Chloe Star, Source Power cultivation and Genetic Evolution Liquid complement each other and do not conflict. The elite of society start planning a series of targeted practices from a young age to groom them into powerful Transcendents.

Xu Mo started relatively late and didn't have the advantageous conditions, but now that he was cultivating at the Mystic God Temple, he had a chance to change, thus he also formulated a training plan for himself.

With his Source Power Level breaking through to SS-level, his body's strength could now use and absorb this level of Genetic Evolution Liquid. Concurrently, he would use metal-type Genetic Evolution Liquid, supplemented by Breathing Techniques, to attempt mastering this type of superpower, which would let his defense reach its peak, enough to endure attacks from practitioners of the same level without getting injured.

The Ten Temple Alliance had a significant impact on Xu Mo. Kerman's body seemed to transform into an energy body, achieving immortality, while Lin He turned Source Power into a Battle Armor, with extremely formidable defense.

This allowed Xu Mo to see his own weaknesses on this level, so he decided to address them first.

For the next year, all his energy would be focused on training.
