Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 29: Cangnan Mountain

Transfer, unranked planet.

In the dead of night, Li Mo turned into a white light and was gone after a light shout. 

Spiritual roots were graded from one to ten. The lower it was, the longer breaks it needed between uses. Li Mos last trip with the spiritual roots Transfer was more than half a month ago.

Li Mo opened his eyes and softly frowned.

Transfer did take him to an unranked planet, but life was just starting to form. There were barely any plants around, not to mention no animals whatsoever.

Isnt this planet a bit too desolate?

Li Mo roamed the unranked planet for five hours, leaving him downcast. This place was a hundred times more barren than Earth.

Using Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art in this place would offer pitiful results.

This planet was unfit for cultivation.

Li Mos eyes shined and seconds later he was gone.

His second return wasnt that far off from his place, less than half a km.

Li Mo arrived home just as the dawn broke.

Spiritual roots Transfer was out of commission for now. His only option was the dimension door Du Fei and the rest of the testers were using. 

Li Mo took out the Staff of Origin and hesitated for a long time before putting it away.

It would be easy to enter a dimension door with the Staff of Origin but it would catch the attention of some of the universes meanest people. He wasnt his past self, he wasnt a human emperor who could move unhinged around the universe. There was no going back once he attracted those types of people.

Yao Xi, oh, Yao Xi. Your Godly Fates Art is what I need the most right now. Such a pity I cant train it since you didnt teach me.

Li Mo sighed, a strange face appearing in his mind shaking a fortune sticks tube for a long time before a stick finally fell. Bad omen. Oh no, we are all out of luck today

Recalling Yao Xi kneeling and wailing while hugging his head, Li Mo smiled.

Li Mo washed his face and went to school.

With his body, not sleeping half a month wouldnt affect him at all.New n0vel chapters are published on n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

The military drill continued with Li Mo participating, but now toned it down to common peoples standards.

The campus dazzling and most outstanding student was Su Haoyang. He was the best runner, the strongest, simply perfect in every way. 

Su Haoyang became the most famous student of Century Middle School, and coupled with his dashing good looks, not to mention rich clan, he received love letters from schoolgirls practically daily. But unlike Yang Chong and Ma Yu, Su Haoyang didnt care about some silly love letters, finding them beneath him.

I am the future leader of the Su clan. With my standard, of the entire Century Middle School, only Lin Qingrou can become my woman. Others dont qualify!

The girls thought Su Haoyang was playing coy, but as time passed, it was clear he was looking down on all of them.

And these last few days, Su Haoyang didnt come every day at school, but when he did, it was to ask the same question, Is Lin Qingrou here?

A pity the Century Middle Schools number one belle, the crowned Lin Qingrou, avoided school since he showed up.

Li Mo just crossed the campus gates while Su Haoyang was storming out.

The twos eyes met then passed by each other, with Su Haoyangs face tinted in disdain.

Brother, I just got news that an expert is near Cangnan Mountains spring!

Li Mo eavesdropped on Su Haoyang having a phone call a hundred meters away. 

He had yet to refine his hearing, but with Foundation achieved, it was boosted ten times.

Expert? Cangnan Mountains spring? Li Mos heart skipped a beat.

Su Haoyang was Starscapes first in-house tester. However, Starscape and Li Mos log in were different. The people on Earth that had spiritual roots were ignorant to the Transfer function. The one they used was another.

A spiritual root user was able to feel spiritual qi echoes. As the sources that could affect the spiritual qis rise were scarce miraculous items, ingredients, exceptional beings, as well as dimension doors the Starscape developers used instances to access it. 

Then let the spiritual root testers sweep them for the source of the echo, sending large batches of testers through each time the dimension doors opened. 

This was the Starscape in-house testing program. 

Dimension doors wore out with time. On this planet, the legends, the scattered clues, of certain items or men in its long history, were all true, coming from these dimension doors. But Starscape players only view it as a gaming instance. 

Funny

Can the dimension door the Du Feis group is using be located in Cangnan Mountain?

Li Mo found it highly likely. How else could one explain the rich spiritual qi of the spring if there was no spiritual qi source?

Li Mo, come here. Huang Yao called out.

Regardless, I need to visit Cangnan Mountain again! With his mind set, Li Mo was ready to leave.

Li Mo, what are you doing? Didnt you hear me calling you?

Li Mo turned a deaf ear as his step quickened and Huang Yao couldnt catch up.

He hailed a cab and told his destination, to which the driver shook his head.

Cangnan Mountain has been sealed since a few days ago. They say murderers are roaming its woods. Boy, that place is dangerous, and I cant take you  even if I wanted to.

Then leave me nearby.

This only worked to affirm his guess. The oddity surrounding Cangnan Mountain was most likely because of a dimension door.

After paying the fare, Li Mo got out nearby the mountain. His figure flitted by with uncanny speed.

The driver jumped in his seat, watched the money then the surroundings and floored it.

God, oh god, a daytime monster!

Li Mo was soon at Cangnan Mountains checkpoint.

The sentries werent from the army, or police, but the Thunderstruck Enterprises men, the developer of Starscape. It held the largest power in the world among the ten companies that joined in developing the game. Not only nationally, as it had branches all around the globe.

A large number of Thunderstruck Enterprises people patrolled the area. Their numbers werent in the tens or hundreds but thousands.

This large scale deployment only confirmed that this mountain housed a dimension door!

A Humvee came down the road and stopped at the checkpoint. Su Haoyang and a middle-aged man in a suit stepped out.

I am Su Corporations CEO and this is my brother Su Haoyang, Starscapes first in-house tester

I am sorry, the situation is volatile and I cant let you in.

A man interrupted Su Haonan before he could finish.

Hu~

A gentle wind blew Su Haoyangs hair.
