Chapter 907: Meditation

After Lin Mo captured the Beacon Tower in the central area of the third squad's region, he headed towards the second squad's area, snatching any Beacon Towers he came across along the way.

By the time he reached the second squad's region, he had already obtained eighteen Grand Banners. During this journey, he encountered some opponents with stronger abilities, and Lin Mo's victories had reached nine.

However, despite nearly half a month passing, Mu Ruodie still showed no signs of waking up. Lin Mo continued to carry her on his back as they traveled together.

"Old man, is it really impossible for us to use the Wheel of Transmigration Mirror?" Lin Mo asked as they walked.

Since acquiring the Wheel of Transmigration Mirror from Du Ruohui, Lin Mo had entrusted the crafty Gui Yan to research how to remove the previous owner's imprint from the mirror's interior.

Gui Yan shook his head, "No, the true owner of the Wheel of Transmigration Mirror is the headmaster of the Vermilion Phoenix Ancient Academy, and there is a deep imprint of his power within it that I cannot break."

"How did that woman use it, then?" Jiu Ming asked, surprised.

"High-grade Heaven-ranked spiritual treasures and above all have two layers of imprints. The first belongs to the original owner, the one recognized by the spirit of the treasure. The second can be bestowed by the original owner to allow others to use the top-tier spiritual treasure, but those users cannot summon the spirit of the treasure, so they cannot fully unleash its greatest power."

"But regular use is still possible," Gui Yan explained.

"I see, it's a high-grade Heaven-ranked spiritual treasure..." Lin Mo was slightly surprised.

"It's one of the Supreme Treasures of the Vermilion Phoenix Ancient Academy, so being a high-grade Heaven-ranked treasure is not surprising," Gui Yan remarked. "Spiritual treasures of this level are likely the highest-ranking treasures on the entire Nine Provinces continent."

"What's beyond that?" Jiu Ming asked curiously.

"Beyond that lies something you won't even have a chance to touch in your lifetime," Gui Yan replied, "the Heaven and Earth Divine Artifacts."

"Heaven and Earth Divine Artifacts!" The three of them were astonished to hear this.

"Yes, Divine Artifacts are divided into seven ranks, with the ones forged by ancient martial artists being below the fourth rank. Anything beyond that belongs to the Heaven and Earth Divine Artifacts, each one capable of shaking the entire continent."

"If we're not mistaken, your Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade is probably of the same rank as the Heaven and Earth Divine Artifacts, although we can't determine its specific grade."

"But let's not stray too far off topic," Gui Yan chuckled as he noticed the shock on their faces. "We can't use the Wheel of Transmigration Mirror, but we can't allow it to return to that woman's hands either. If she joins forces with others to deal with you, you won't stand a chance."

"Agreed," Lin Mo nodded.

"Lin Mo, I suggest you make a breakthrough first," Zhao Yun suddenly said. "I have a feeling that woman won't give up, and we've entered the second squad's area now. There may be a second sniper from the Vermilion Phoenix Ancient Academy here."

"You're right," Lin Mo agreed. "They were able to send three of their Third Little Kings to surround the third squad's area, so it's possible they have four Great Spirit Kings stationed in the second squad's area. Plus, the other two enemies of Mu Ruodie haven't shown up yet, and we don't know their strength."

"In that case, it's a good idea to make some progress first, especially since you have plenty of Elemental Spirit Pearls," Jiu Ming suggested.

"About three miles away, there's a Water Curtain Cave. Let's go there to rest and improve our strength," Lin Mo said, gazing southwest.

"No time to waste," Jiu Ming and Zhao Yun said simultaneously.

Lin Mo's group quickly arrived at the Water Curtain Cave. The cave was located on the steep cliff of a mountain peak, with a relatively small interior space. Outside, a waterfall cascaded down, measuring dozens of meters in width. Without using spiritual sense to explore, one would never know that there was a cave behind the waterfall.

"This place should be concealed enough," Lin Mo remarked after they entered and looked around.

"Agreed," Lin Mo nodded. "Jiu Ming, take care of Ruodie. I'm going to start refining Elemental Spirit Pearls."

With that, Lin Mo entrusted Mu Ruodie to Jiu Ming, who carefully settled her down.

Several days later, at a location one hundred miles away from Lin Mo, a group of people gathered. They sat cross-legged in the dense forest, occasionally glancing in a certain direction. Some of them were growing impatient, but they refrained from voicing their complaints in front of the central figure.

"Miss Du, I received information that Lin Mo has entered our area while carrying the Mu family girl on his back. It doesn't seem right to just wait here," one of the more respected individuals in the group, named Chen Wu, stood up and spoke.

Chen Wu was from the Chen family in Qingzhou, and most of the people gathered here were descendants of the Chen family. They had mobilized many experts to intercept the Mu family's members, including some who had given up on competing for the first squad's region to enter the second squad's area.

After all, the Vermilion Phoenix Ancient Academy had always been the number one academy in the Nine Provinces, so missing out on some glory in the first squad's region didn't matter to them.

The woman referred to as Miss Du was none other than Du Ruohui, who had barely escaped from Lin Mo's clutches. By her side was Tang Qin, who had already recovered from her injuries.

"What? Don't you trust me?" Du Ruohui sneered. "If you doubt my intentions, then go find Lin Mo yourselves."
