Soon, the search engine displayed several results about the Black Mist Forest. Mo Yuan opened the official Human Federation website and began reading the information.
Black Mist Forest
Location: Approximately 550 km outside Holy Base. It is part of the Endless Forests and does not belong to the wilderness territory of any human base.
Description: A dangerous forest controlled by powerful beasts. The outer region is inhabited by Origin Soul and Origin Lord Realm beasts, while the Inner Region is home to Sovereign Realm beasts. The Core Region may even contain Monarch Realm beasts. Visitors are advised to proceed with extreme caution.
Special Locations: An abandoned research laboratory is located somewhere inside the forest. It was previously used by the Human Federation for experiments on beasts.
Known Powerful Beasts:
Voidfang Shadow Panther: Early to Peak Sovereign Realm.Crimson Flame Lion: Sovereign Realm, known for its powerful Flame Talent.Thunderclaw Bear: Sovereign Realm, known for its tremendous physical strength and Thunder Talent.Ironback Earth Serpent: Origin Lord to Sovereign Realm, known for its defensive abilities and Earth Talent.
Note: The information above is based on previous investigations. The actual number and strength of beasts may vary.
The Voidfang Shadow Panther was known to live in the deeper part of the Inner Region.
After reading everything, Mo Yuan nodded.
"Hmm, not bad. It’s around 550 kilometres away. Reaching there should only take a few seconds."
He wasn’t particularly worried about the distance. With his current speed, covering 550 kilometres wasn’t difficult at all.
However, when he read about the Monarch Realm beasts in the Core Region, his expression became slightly serious.
"To think there are even Monarch Realm beasts in the Core Region. I need to be careful not to attract their attention."
Although Mo Yuan was confident in his strength, he wasn’t arrogant enough to underestimate Monarch Realm cultivators or beasts.
He knew that he was strong enough to deal with most Sovereign Realm beasts. He might even have a chance against a Monarch Realm beast but that was only an assumption.
He had never fought a Monarch Realm opponent before, so he had no idea how strong they actually were.
David had once mentioned that Monarch Realm cultivators began comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
From the cultivation novels Mo Yuan had read in his previous life, he knew that Laws were on a completely different level. They weren’t something that could be overcome simply by having greater physical strength.
Mo Yuan thought for a moment before relaxing.
"Well, I don’t need to worry too much. As long as I don’t go too deep into the Core Region, I should be fine. Besides, I still have Shadow Walk. If things get dangerous, I can always escape into the Shadow Realm."
He had already used this ability several times and it was one of his best methods of escaping danger.
After learning enough about the forest and his target, Mo Yuan felt that he was prepared for the mission.
"Nice! It’s time to complete this mission and get into the Human Federation Academy. I really want to see how an academy at the centre of humanity operates."
A look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
He had heard quite a bit about the Human Federation Academy but seeing it for himself would be completely different.
Mo Yuan got up from his bed and stretched his body.
’Once I get admitted, I can also buy a house here. I should hunt some beasts along the way and earn some extra money. Who knows how expensive properties are in Holy Base?’
Although he had around 180 billion yuan, he wasn’t sure whether that would be enough to buy a decent house in Holy Base.
After all, this was the strongest human base. The property prices here were probably much higher than those in ordinary bases.
’Well, I’ll think about that later.’
Putting those thoughts aside, Mo Yuan looked toward the door.
"I guess I should leave for the mission now. I only have seven days to complete it."
He walked out of his room and headed toward the room where Mo Ran and Mu Qingying were staying. Before leaving, he wanted to at least inform them about his mission.
Knock! Knock!
A moment later, the door opened, revealing Mo Ran.
"Brother, what is it?"
Mu Qingying, who was inside, also looked toward the door.
"I’ve received my mission, so I have to leave."
"Oh! You’re leaving already?" Mo Ran asked.
Before Mo Yuan could answer, Mu Qingying walked closer with an excited expression.
"Nice! That means you’ll finally be able to join the academy!"
She looked at him as if she already knew he would pass the evaluation.
Mo Yuan smiled.
"Hahaha, you’re quite confident in me."
Mu Qingying shook her head.
"Confident? After everything we’ve seen, I’m more curious about how the Human Federation will react when they discover your actual strength. You’re practically a monster in disguise!"
"Hahaha! There’s no need to put it that way."
Mo Yuan laughed at her words.
They chatted for a little while before he transferred some more money to Mo Ran’s account.
"Take care of yourself while I’m gone. If you need anything, just buy it. Don’t hesitate."
"Okay, brother!"
Mo Yuan then turned toward Mu Qingying.
"I’ll have to trouble you to look after her for a few days."
"Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her."
After saying goodbye to the two girls, Mo Yuan left their room and headed downstairs.
He went to the hotel reception and extended his stay for another seven days. Once everything was settled, he walked out of the hotel.
The streets were as lively as ever. Expensive cars and luxurious bikes passed along the roads, while countless people moved between the nearby buildings.
Mo Yuan glanced around before heading toward the nearest bus stop.
He boarded a bus heading toward the Southern Exit, which was the closest exit to his hotel.
The journey didn’t take long.
After getting off, Mo Yuan walked toward the exit and took out his identification card. He showed it to the guards and informed them that he was leaving Holy Base to complete his academy mission.
The guard checked his information. After confirming his identity they allowed him to pass.
Soon, Mo Yuan stepped outside the massive dome.
He stopped for a moment and turned around.
The enormous Holy Base stood behind him, its protective formation covering the entire city. Countless buildings could be seen beneath the transparent barrier, making it look like a completely different world.
Mo Yuan looked at it for a few seconds before turning away.
His gaze shifted toward the vast forest stretching across the distant horizon.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he took a step forward.
"Let’s go!"
