The Seventh Base

Chapter 1051: Chapter 110: Ancient Book

In front of the Holy Land Gate, transcendent beings from various forces gathered. Although the total number was far less than those entering the Empire Trial Field, thousands of people gradually congregated.

Transcendent beings who entered the Empire Trial Field experienced three years, many dying quietly in corners, like a whole squad from the Lin and Coriade Star Domain buried in the Desert Crowd. This happened too frequently over the past three years.

The death rate for this trial is bound to be extremely high, possibly reaching half.

Besides those who perished, there were also many individuals cultivating in various places within the trial field; surely, there are many in the other six opportunity sites.

Ultimately, those who arrived here are but a small portion of those who entered the Empire Trial Field; however, they are the true elite characters, with greater ambition to seize the core opportunity of the Empire Trial Field.

Now, there is just over a month left until the Empire Trial Field’s impending closure.

If the Holy Land Gate opens, it will inevitably lead to a fierce battle for the opportunities; if it ultimately does not open, a war might erupt outside.

For example, will the Lin seize the Desert Beast? Will the Kales Empire fight the transcendent beings of the O’Brian Republic?

These are foreseeable, and a war will erupt at the last moment, regardless of whether the Holy Land Gate opens.

But for now, people are still waiting, there is still time, and the Holy Land Gate has the potential to open.

The vast region in front of the Holy Land Gate maintains a rare calm where each force remains harmonious, suppressing thoughts of conflict; otherwise, opening the Holy Land Gate would mean losses for those who started battles.

This calm is like the quiet before the storm.

Xu Mo paid no attention, calmly cultivating with insight.

This time, Zero trained with greater focus, immersed in understanding the Holy Land Gate; even the Ancient Beast entered a cultivation state.

The Lin were no different. Especially Lin Jian, who remained motionless, cultivating for almost three years—a testament to his astonishing endurance.

His goal was very clear; before coming to the Holy Land Gate, the elders of the Lin Family had instructed him to open the gate and obtain the Empire Royal Family’s ancestral inheritance.

The Holy Land Gate hadn’t been opened for many years; he must succeed.

On the Holy Land Gate, fierce energy fluctuations caused people to eagerly anticipate its opening, but it showed no response.

Day by day passed, impatience stirred within many due to the prolonged wait.

Unconsciously, only a month was left. At this rate, the Holy Land Gate might truly fail to open.

Xu Mo continued immersing in cultivation, his spiritual power entering the Holy Land Gate, feeling the pressure emanating from it—domineering and heavy, as if harboring mankind’s will.

“Boom…”

His heart trembled as if the pressure intensified.

Outside the Holy Land Gate, observers noticed stronger energy fluctuations appearing on the gate.

“The energy fluctuations have changed,” someone remarked, as many perceived it, leading to a halt in the murmurs, fixating their gaze on the Holy Land Gate.

Is it going to open?

With the first fluctuation, the pressure of the Holy Land Gate grew stronger, energy fluctuations more distant, with an energy vortex seeming to form faintly on the massive Energy Gate.

“Boom.”

At that moment, Lin Jian erupted with a powerful spiritual power aura, as if his spiritual domain enveloped the surrounding area; not just him, but the Lin released spiritual power alike.

This power seemed fully merged with the Holy Land Gate, causing energy fluctuations to intensify further, with the vortex growing stronger.

Xu Mo keenly sensed the change; he even perceived Zero beside him entering that state, her spiritual power also merging within the Holy Land Gate.

“It’s going to open.”

A voice appeared in Xu Mo’s mind, it was Zero’s voice.

The Holy Land Gate will open.

Xu Mo felt a ripple in his heart, carefully sensing, realizing Lin Jian’s spiritual power within the crowd was the strongest, majestic, holding a dominant position in influencing the Holy Land Gate.

Lin Jian spent almost three years here, solely for opening the Holy Land Gate.

Now, finally stirring.

This was no easy task.

Nearby Xu Mo, Heath O’Brien and many others directed sharp glances at the Holy Land Gate, as they sensed it too.

Behind, many eyed the pressure, stepping forth, seemingly aware of something.

Rumbling… a heavy and tumultuous energy aura erupted, making it difficult for many to stand firm, retreating consecutively, and even Xu Mo’s body slightly trembled.

Suddenly, a terrifying energy vortex formed in the center of the Holy Land Gate, and energy light burst forth, causing Lin Jian and others to be pushed to the sides.

But in the middle of the Holy Land Gate’s energy vortex, an entrance appeared.

The Holy Land Gate opened!

Witnessing this, figures outside the Holy Land Gate instantly burst forward; with the gate open, no one knew what was inside, naturally rushing to seize the first chance to enter.

Lin Jian was the fastest at the forefront, rushing inside the moment it opened, but one person entered almost simultaneously like a light—Delon from Saint Tiya Star.

Afterward, figures madly flooded inside, vying desperately, as if fearing that even a brief delay would close the Holy Land Gate.

“Go.” Heath O’Brien led the group towards the Holy Land Gate.

Xu Mo was not in a hurry. If his strength wasn’t sufficient, it would be meaningless to enter first; even if he obtained a treasure, he would only become a target and it would be a catastrophe.

Zero looked at him, and Xu Mo said, “Let’s go in too.”

The two of them moved forward, but they weren’t in haste.

A powerful Energy Aura swept over them, the oppressive force of the Holy Land Gate. The two of them endured this pressure as they entered the Holy Land Gate with the main group.

Once inside, it should become clear whether Zero’s feeling of connection to the Holy Land Gate was merely coincidental.

“Xu Mo, keep up the pace.” A voice urged from ahead, it was Sarlon’s voice. He turned back to glance at Xu Mo and Zero behind him.

Xu Mo paid little attention, moving forward after entering the Holy Land Gate, observing the surroundings.

An ancient aura enveloped them, revealing that inside the Holy Land Gate was a wonderland, like a small world.

It looked like an incredibly immense Stone Hall, towering hundreds of meters high, vast and empty inside, perhaps due to the passage of time and being sealed away, there was even a decaying atmosphere within the ancient Stone Hall.

However, an invisible pressure permeated from the front, enveloping the entire Stone Hall. Energy flowed along the stone walls around the Stone Hall, merging with the Holy Land Gate.

Zero’s eyes scrutinized everything within, filled with curiosity.

Normally, she’s indifferent to everything, but here felt different; since arriving at the Holy Land Gate, there’s been a sense of familiarity.

“I feel like I’ve been here before.” Zero whispered to Xu Mo next to her, “It feels familiar.”

Hearing Zero’s words, Xu Mo’s expression became more serious.

Outside, Zero already had this sensation; at the time, Xu Mo thought it might be coincidence.

However, upon entering the Holy Land Gate, Zero said the same thing again, claiming she felt like she’d been here before.

This shocked Xu Mo even more; even if it’s a misconception, it might be that Zero sensed a familiar aura, causing this illusion.

Could it be that Zero truly has some connection with the Holy Land Gate?

The Holy Land Gate was arranged by the Empire’s Old Imperial Family, likely related to the Old Imperial Family.

As for Zero, she grew up on Byron Star, far removed.

But one thing is certain: Zero’s identity is likely not simple, her background is very mysterious.

Her mother and the master named Qiong are both very mysterious.

This indicates that Zero might have an extraordinary lineage.

Zero, Lin!

Xu Mo felt the thought arising within him was somewhat absurd; connecting the two felt quite strange.

Could Zero’s lineage be linked to the Empire’s Old Imperial Family, the Lin family?

“Zero, speak these words to me quietly later; whatever you encounter next, do not let others easily overhear these words.” Xu Mo reminded Zero with a serious tone.

Regardless of whether this guess is absurd, it’s better to steer clear of trouble and minimize risk.

Otherwise, it might bring about trouble.

If Zero truly is linked to the Empire’s Old Imperial Family, the Lin family, and her mother moved to Byron Star, there surely are hidden reasons.

“I understand.” Zero nodded gently, comprehending Xu Mo’s meaning; she too felt it was odd.

But her mother and Qiong hadn’t told her much, only teaching her Cultivation, laying down a foundation.

The two of them moved forward, following the massive crowd.

In the distance, strong Energy Waves spread, everyone could feel it, all heading in that direction.

Soon, sounds of battle erupted ahead; a fight had already begun, people rushed toward the sky.

Xu Mo and Zero looked ahead, seeing the extremely dazzling Energy Light Columns.

Within the ancient Stone Hall appeared eighteen massive Stone Pillars, each surrounded by brilliant Energy Light, resembling patterns.

Energy Light flowed from each of the eighteen Stone Pillars toward the center, forming a towering Energy Light Column that reached the top of the Stone Hall, then flowed toward various corners of the Stone Hall, as if all the energy sources were here.

More astonishingly, in the middle of the thick Energy Light Column, a book seemed to float there, swirling continuously, with countless energy characters mesmerizing on its surface.

When everyone reached this place, they madly charged toward the book within the Energy Light Column, only to find that the Energy Light Column had formed a terrifying Energy Barrier they couldn’t penetrate.

Thus, everyone turned to the surrounding eighteen Stone Pillars, some had already reached the top of the Pillars, among the first were Lin Jian of the Lin family and Delon of Saint Tiya Star.

Lin Jian led the way; naturally, others followed suit.

But each Stone Pillar could only accommodate one or two people, and if two, it would become quite crowded.

At present, the crowd rushing towards here through the Holy Land Gate numbered over a thousand.

This meant there would be a brutal battle.
