The Seventh Base

Chapter 968: Chapter 35: Cultivation

Mystic God Temple, as the cultivation holy land of the O’Brian Republic, is a very pure transcendents’ training ground, where one strives for cultivation resources with their own talent and efforts, aiming to nurture the top transcendents.

The reason the threshold for enrolling disciples at the Mystic God Temple is exceedingly high is because they hope to cultivate transcendents who can all become Skywalkers. Those with weak talents have no chance of crossing that threshold.

Not becoming a Skywalker holds no significance for someone cultivating at the Mystic God Temple. Even if they leave the Mystic God Temple in the future, they would be embarrassed to tell others they were once a cultivator there.

Although the number of people who enter the Mystic God Temple and become Skywalkers is still a minority, compared to other cultivation grounds, the ratio is already very high, as it is a top-tier cultivation holy land.

The categorization after entering the Mystic God Temple was a minor episode. Although some were displeased, Xu Mo directly refused Hudson’s challenge request, so naturally no one could do anything.

Moreover, the fact that Xu Mo and Zero could be in that position could certainly not be due to connections. There are no talks of connections in the Mystic God Temple; it must be due to exhibiting some extraordinary talent during the evaluation.

Just what this talent was specifically, and to what degree it reached, no one knows, and people can only speculate.

Regarding this matter, the people who entered the Mystic God Temple are most concerned about Augustus’ attitude.

Matthew’s words still caused quite a stir; Augustus’ name is listed alongside Xu Mo and Zero under SS rank, but he is placed third. How would Augustus, who tops the leaderboard, feel about this?

Regarding this, Augustus expressed his attitude, stating that he would see them in three months.

This single sentence caused quite a stir, leaving everyone in anticipation.

Three months later is a very important time node.

The transcendents who enter the Mystic God Temple through selection will undergo a period of cultivation enhancement lasting three months, and after three months, there will be a Ten Temple Alliance event.

At that time, the newcomers of Mystic God Temple from the ten major stars of the O’Brian Republic will engage in actual combat, and based on their performance in combat and over the past three months, classification adjustments will also be made.

Furthermore, rumors say that Mystic God Temple will select the most top-tier geniuses from the Ten Temples’ geniuses to become true legends of the Mystic God Temple, surpassing even the SS rank.

Now, Augustus’ three-month challenge is intriguing.

Xu Mo heard about Augustus’ words, conveyed to him by Erin Uranos, but he did not take it to heart. Xu Mo felt that his current strength was likely insufficient to defeat Augustus, who had grown up on Chloe Star, enjoying all sorts of resources since childhood, and had developed in a top transcendental academy, excelling in many areas over someone like him from a remote star domain.

However, from the moment they entered the Mystic God Temple, they stood on equal footing, and in the future, he could enjoy the SS-level cultivation resources of Mystic God Temple just like Augustus. Some resource gaps could slowly be bridged.

Moreover, he didn’t come to Mystic God Temple to fight; his goal is to cultivate and improve himself.

Xu Mo’s room is a suite, very large, with a dedicated resting bedroom, and outside is a virtual cultivation cabin equipped with a full set of devices.

Furthermore, the energy in the room is very abundant, seemingly with endless energy seeping into the room.

Xu Mo entered the cultivation cabin, quietly leaning inside, and the cultivation cabin would automatically adjust to position his body in the most relaxed posture while the helmet made a connection, performing retinal recognition.

“Good morning, Xu Mo. Your rank is SS, unlocking all SS and below cultivation resources.” An intelligent voice sounded in Xu Mo’s mind, a testament to the advanced technology and high intelligence level of the O’Brian Republic.

He could cultivate continuously while lying in the cultivation cabin, engaging in various forms of cultivation except for real combat.

A variety of categories appeared in Xu Mo’s vision.

Cultivation methods, combat skills, virtual world.

Xu Mo opened the cultivation methods. These were all breathing and meditation techniques sorted by level, and he could unlock all SS and below breathing and meditation techniques.

Xu Mo began his cultivation from the Underworld, where he secretly learned Master Batu’s breathing technique—a very basic form. Later, he entered Noah Academy in Steel Dome City, where he learned a nine-stage breathing technique from his teacher. Subsequently, he switched to the meditation methods of the Cos Civilization, focusing mainly on spiritual power, treating oneself as the center of the universe—considered a fairly high-level meditation.

And now, the breathing and meditation techniques appearing before Xu Mo are truly a comprehensive collection of cultivation methods of all kinds. Just by skimming and reading some descriptions, Xu Mo deeply felt the scarcity of cultivation methods in the star domain where Byron Star is located.

Xu Mo directly opened the SS rank cultivation methods section.

Different superpower users can find cultivation methods suited to their needs.

For example, as a thunder attribute transcendent, there is a breathing technique, the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method, where breaths during cultivation are like thunder, drawing Source Power into the body, transforming into heavy thunder to refine the body—a breathing method perfectly tailored for transcendent training with thunder attributes. Supplemented with thunder attribute combat skills, the power would be stronger.

This method is very domineering, but it has a drawback; refining through the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method is very painful at the beginning.

Xu Mo glanced at others; the Fire Breathing Technique belongs to the fire attribute cultivation methods and is equally domineering, capable of transforming the body into a body of flames.

For Xu Mo, there isn’t an unsuitable cultivation method as he isn’t solely a single attribute superpower cultivator.

Moreover, if there is a suitable cultivation method, it can be cultivated in the vessel, and when integrated in the future, the combat power will further ascend.

After looking through cultivation methods, Xu Mo began checking the combat skills category.

Combat skills are also categorized, and even the basic C rank doesn’t mean it’s not strong; in fact, it’s high-level, although not as powerful as the SS rank categorization, and the variety is less.

SS rank can unlock various combat skills; all combat skills within can be cultivated, provided there’s enough time.

Greedy ambitions without patience lead to failure; cultivating the most suitable to the strongest is sufficient.

“Let’s first look at the spiritual combat skills.” Xu Mo thought inwardly. Among these combat skills, he saw the Heavenly Killing Formation was listed, evidently not weak, included in the Mystic God Temple’s category of spiritual combat skills.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, Xu Mo saw a combat skill listed within the S rank.

This combat skill is called Heavenly Myriad Phenomena.

Xu Mo was curious and checked the introduction of Heavenly Myriad Phenomena, which turned out to be a combat skill derived and evolved from the Heavenly Killing Formation.

The Heavenly Killing Formation already belongs to extremely strong combat skills, and the SS-ranked combat skill Heavenly Myriad Forms is probably a very strong combat skill even for a Skywalker to cultivate.

Xu Mo noted down this combat skill and listed it as one of the cultivation options.

He had already cultivated the Heavenly Killing Formation, so further cultivating the Heavenly Myriad Forms would be quite suitable.

Besides the spiritual-based combat skills, Xu Mo began looking into other types of combat skills.

The two attack methods complement each other, making them more powerful.

Xu Mo’s first choice was sword techniques.

The Mystic God Temple’s combat skills have detailed classifications, and by selecting sword techniques, only sword techniques are displayed, which is very convenient.

Xu Mo reviewed these sword technique descriptions and ultimately chose one of them.

Combat Skill: Dawn.

Dawn signifies breaking through darkness, and it demands extremely high standards from those who cultivate sword techniques, requiring a high concentration of spiritual power and superior neural reaction speed, making it quite suitable for him.

Xu Mo currently selected one breathing method and two combat skills.

Breathing Method: Heavy Thunder Breathing Method.

Combat Skills: Spiritual Heavenly Myriad Forms, Sword Technique Dawn.

The reason for ultimately choosing to cultivate the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method is that it can complement the Heavenly Myriad Forms.

“Cultivate the sword technique first.” After making up his mind, Xu Mo immediately took action: “Unlock the sword technique Dawn.”

“Once unlocked, the combat skill cultivation progress will be included in the assessment. Are you sure you want to unlock it?” an intelligent voice asked.

“Yes.” Xu Mo responded, not expecting that after unlocking a combat skill, its cultivation would also be assessed, monitoring cultivation in all aspects to check a transcendent’s ability levels.

Could this be considered big data cultivation?

In all aspects, it can all be reflected in the data.

“You will enter the virtual space. Please concentrate your mind,” a voice prompted Xu Mo, and instantly he cleared his thoughts and focused his spiritual power.

The next moment, the scene in his mind shifted, as if he was traveling through time and space, arriving in another space.

It seemed as if he was in a dark universe, without light, eerily quiet, without a trace of sound.

At that moment, a dazzling light blossomed, causing Xu Mo’s heart to race — it was a blade’s light.

The blade shattered the darkness, its brilliant flash illuminated the cosmos. In the universe, a figure wielded a blade in cultivation, an overwhelming aura enveloped him, making Xu Mo feel small.

Xu Mo’s heart raced, his heartbeat quickened as he dismissed distractions and immersed himself in understanding this profound sword technique. Each slash, after executed, produced a blade light that was as sharp as the blade itself, slicing through space.

Xu Mo became engrossed, completely entering the state.

After a long time, Xu Mo extricated himself from that state, one after another, images seemed imprinted in his mind along with many memories about the sword technique. What level of master had engraved this sword technique in this virtual space?

By the end of the Dawn Blade Technique, it truly tore apart the darkness, with radiant glory.

Xu Mo digested it for a long time before unlocking the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method.

He once again entered the virtual space, where in the universe, an incredibly domineering figure stood in the high sky. With each breath, heavenly thunder roared, vibrating the void, surrounded by lightning. The violent thunder power frantically surged within his body, refining it, making the body become like the Thunder God Body.

Once again, Xu Mo felt a sense of insignificance, seemingly as if the thunder released with each breath of the Thunder God-like figure could strike him down.

Although Xu Mo cultivated to S-grade, he could not yet comprehend how strong top-level transcendents were. In front of a Qiong Master, he had no resistance, like an ant at the mercy of a Qiong Master. With just a thought, he floated in the air, accepting baptism.

After the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method was the spiritual power combat skill, the attack method, Heavenly Myriad Forms, driving weapons for instant kills, invisible, encompassing all forms.

Subsequently, Xu Mo began immersing himself in the cultivation state, and for actual combat, he could enter the virtual battlefield.

In Cleo’s office, he was still sitting on the sofa, talking to someone through the comm.

“What did Xu Mo unlock?” Cleo asked.

“Heavy Thunder Breathing Method, Heavenly Myriad Forms, Dawn.” The other party responded.

“This guy really is greedy, unlocking one breathing method and two combat skills all at once.” Cleo remarked, speculating that Xu Mo should have practiced a breathing method, and now unlocking the Heavy Thunder Breathing Method meant he was going the domineering route?

The Heavenly Myriad Forms was expected, as Xu Mo had already cultivated the Heavenly Killing Formation, it was highly probable he would choose the Heavenly Myriad Forms.

As for the Dawn sword technique, it isn’t easy to cultivate.

Both the Heavenly Myriad Forms and Dawn are high-difficulty combat skills, and he started by selecting two SS-rank powerful combat skills; let’s see to what level he can cultivate them.

Because of Xu Mo’s special status, Cleo paid extra attention to him, and Palace Master Talos let him decide on where to place Xu Mo. He believed he understood the Palace Master’s intentions, deciding to put Xu Mo in the foremost position, which was quite a lot of pressure.

Hopefully, Xu Mo won’t disappoint him in three months.

It would also be a challenge for Xu Mo then.
