Chapter 779: Heading to Country M
Huo Jiaming entered the private room and saw Lin Mo, who had awakened.
"Mr. Lin, you're awake!" Huo Jiaming greeted with a respectful bow, still displaying profound humility. In his eyes, Lin Mo was akin to an Immortal; even though his granddaughter might never again cross paths with Lin Mo, having such a figure as an acquaintance was considered immensely favorable for the Huo Family.
Lin Mo nodded and turned his gaze to a wooden box, asking, "Where was this box found and brought back from?"
Huo Jiaming replied, "Our company has a branch in Seattle, and we also engage in some pawn business there. This wooden box was acquired in Seattle, and after some bizarre incidents occurred, I personally ordered it to be brought back."
"America?"
Lin Mo frowned.
As the dominant power on Earth today, if he went to America, he was likely to attract the attention of the FBI or agents from the Holy Shield Bureau. However, the Innate Strong People from the Heavenly Sect were set to appear in half a year, and if he didn't hurry to enhance his strength, relying on Fang Tangjing to save him again would be impossible in the future.
"Mr. Lin, do you have any plans?" Huo Jiaming, always calculating, immediately posed the question upon noticing Lin Mo's frown.
Lin Mo nodded. "I indeed want to visit America to see for myself, but it would be easy to attract attention with my current identity."
Huo Jiaming responded, "There's no problem, I can create a new identity for Mr. Lin. Under our company's name, you can go to Seattle, and at least for a short period, it shouldn't draw any attention."
"That would be best." Lin Mo nodded and then took out several elixirs and a wooden tablet from his Space Ring, "Consuming one of these elixirs can prevent all diseases and extend life by ten years. As for this wooden tablet, it is a Magic Artifact that can ensure your family's safety. Consider them my token of gratitude."
Knowing Lin Mo's character—unwilling to be indebted to others—Huo Jiaming didn't refuse, but inside, he was still immensely shocked. Just one of these elixirs could prevent all diseases and extend longevity; selling it would undoubtedly fetch an astronomical price.
Lin Mo didn't rush to leave the Ancient Capital but instead settled in at the clubhouse, starting to absorb the spiritual power within the wooden box. Meanwhile, Huo Jiaming began setting up the identity documentation for Lin Mo and Yingzi to go to Seattle, ensuring entrance through the Huo Family company's channels, likely avoiding immediate detection by the FBI.
It is worth noting that even in Huaxia, very few people knew his real identity. Most only recognized the name Lin Tanyu, not knowing he was Lin Mo.
In three days, Lin Mo had fully absorbed the spiritual power from the wooden box.
Lin Mo opened his eyes, revealing a trace of joy, and then extended his palm. From it, a small inch-long knife with a sinister red glow appeared, emanating a tremendously dangerous aura.
This tiny red blade was a manifestation of Lin Mo's Divine Thought, specifically crafted to sever Divine Souls.
"It seems much more powerful than before," Lin Mo remarked, looking at the Demon Blade in his palm, his face showing a hint of happiness. The Demon Blade had grown in both luster and length, providing Lin Mo another means to protect himself.
Having retracted the Demon Blade, Lin Mo spread his Divine Sense, making the flora and fauna within tens of miles crystal clear, as if etched into his mind.
However, probing into everyone's actions, even their thoughts, caused severe headache due to the overload of Divine Thought.
It was like a computer's RAM— insufficient memory and processing speed hampered precise scans of each individual's thoughts and actions.
"Divine Thought also increased by a substantial amount," Lin Mo murmured. Although he couldn't scan the entire Ancient Capital, now with his Divine Thought, he could clearly control what was happening within tens of miles.
After completing all this, Lin Mo left the clubhouse. This time, Huo Jiaming had arranged an overseas employee position for him, with this matter kept highly confidential, not even the head of the branch office knew of Lin Mo's real identity.
"Mr. Lin, here is the introduction letter. When it's time, you just go to our company's Human Resources Department and head straight to Seattle," Huo Jiaming handed a prepared envelope to Lin Mo.
"Yes. However, I still have something to do before I leave," Lin Mo murmured as he took the envelope.
This time leaving for abroad, he didn't know when he would return and had to visit Star Sect first.
Lin Mo, accompanied by Yingzi, left the Ancient Capital and then returned to the Star Sect, where he told his mother about his plans to isolate himself for Cultivation. However, he didn't mention going to Seattle, only stating that he needed a quiet place to cultivate.
If he were to tell Yang Chuxue about Seattle, it would probably make his mother worry.
"Xiao Mo, are you going to another place?"
Within Star Sect, Lin Mo and Xia Mengdie walked side by side to a beautiful hillside and settled onto the soft grass.
With Xia Mengdie's head gently leaning on his shoulder, the fragrance of her hair wafting through, Lin Mo wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and looking at the scenery said, "Sometimes I wish I could just hold you like this and appreciate the world's beauty without having to let go to protect you."
Xia Mengdie giggled, "Xiao Mo, when did you become so slick with your words?"
"What I said isn't slick talk, it's the truth," Lin Mo replied, his dark eyes fixating on Xia Mengdie, filled with tender affection.
Xia Mengdie looked back into Lin Mo's eyes, her cheeks warming up as a shy blush spread across her lovely face.
"Hmm," she murmured shyly, burying her head in Lin Mo's chest, she asked, "Where exactly are you going?"
"To Seattle. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I need to visit other places to find a breakthrough," Lin Mo explained slowly.
"I want to come with you, can I?" Xia Mengdie suddenly asked.
Lin Mo frowned slightly, then said, "You just stay in Star Sect and focus on your cultivation." "I know, right now my strength is such that not only can I not help you, but I'd also distract you. So I'll stay in Star Sect and take care of your parents and my mom. But Xiao Mo, you also have to promise me, to come back safe and sound," Xia Mengdie pleaded, her eyes soft with emotion.
"Yes, I'll definitely come back safe," Lin Mo reassured her, smiling brightly.
Seeing Xia Mengdie's pretty face, Lin Mo couldn't resist and embraced her, kissing her.
