Lin Mo eagerly opened his quest panel and looked at the exclusive advancement quest he had received from the SSS Hidden Class Advancement Certificate.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Ghost Domain Conqueror] (Exclusive Advancement Quest for the SSS Hidden Class Ghost Monarch · Phase One)
— Difficulty Rating: 7,190
— Description: Legend says that the Ghost Race once possessed an ancient demonic artifact known as the Eye of Chaos. It is said that whoever obtains the Eye of Chaos can become the Emperor of the Ghost Race, with all ghosts submitting to them.

Follow the quest guidance to Nightmare Town and locate one of the fragments of the Eye of Chaos lost there...
— Quest Reward: Unlocked after completing all quest phases.
— Time Limit: 60 days
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The difficulty rating of this quest was actually as high as 7,190?
Even Lin Mo couldn't help being surprised.
After all, the S-Rank Hidden Quest Heart's Knot, which he had obtained from the Angel Princess Siya in the Divine Tomb, only had a difficulty rating of 9,880.
And before that, even the C-Rank Hidden Quest to repair the Divine Might Tower had only been rated 5,600.
Before encountering Heart's Knot, this was the most difficult quest Lin Mo had ever seen.
The most terrifying part was that this 7,190 difficulty rating only applied to the first phase of the advancement quest.
The second, third, and fourth phases would undoubtedly become even harder.
But Lin Mo didn't feel any pressure at all.
Instead, he found it exciting, "Not bad."
"This is worthy of the prestige of Divine Oracle's highest-tier SSS Hidden Class."
Lin Mo was already looking forward to it.
Once he completed the advancement quest and became the SSS Hidden Class Ghost Monarch, he would also have the Angel Divine Descent Seraph, Siya, under his command.
That way, he would simultaneously gain influence over two of Divine Oracle's Supreme Races, the Angel and the Ghost Race.
In the future, those two Supreme Races would undoubtedly bring Lin Mo countless advantages throughout the world of Divine Oracle.
Never underestimate the value of the Supreme Races.
Because the Supreme Races were always the highest authority in the world of Divine Oracle.
Especially after Divine Oracle descended upon reality.
More than ninety percent of the world's NPCs and high-level monsters awakened self-awareness.
The Dragon Race!
The Ghost Race!
The Angel!
The Blood Race!
The Angel Race!
The Undead Race!
And many more.
These Supreme Races would gradually become the true rulers of the Continent of Divine Oracle.
Even in his previous life, the number one players from every country, owners of SSS talents, and SSS Hidden Class users, still had to show them respect.
Lin Mo then opened the map and confirmed his destination.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Level 72 Nightmare Town, Located East of Inferno City]
— Required Rank: Silver V
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Lin Mo was already Level 68.
There was only a four-level gap between him and Nightmare Town.
The level difference wouldn't be a problem.
The bigger issue was his rank.
At the moment, Lin Mo was Silver IV (20/100).
He was still one rank short of Nightmare Town's entry requirement.
But that wasn't a problem for him, "Brother Lin Mo, we haven't done today's Super Arena matches yet."
"Once we finish them, we'll be promoted to Silver V and meet the requirements to enter Nightmare Town."
"Mm," Lin Mo checked the time, "Let's log off for lunch first, take a short nap, then come back and do the arena."
Now that they had already secured the SSS Hidden Class Advancement Certificate, and the advancement quest allowed a full sixty days, there was plenty of time.
They could slow down a little instead of rushing.
After all, there were still twenty-eight days left for the S-Rank Hidden Quest Heart's Knot.
Compared to that, the more urgent matter was helping Ning Xi permanently obtain the Divine Artifact Destiny Token · Heavenly Might.
So Lin Mo asked Ning Xi, "Isn't the Divine Might Tower about to level up?"
'The timing should be about right.'
Lin Mo remembered that the Divine Might Tower's upgrade requirement was for its owner to accumulate 10,000 Reputation through the tower itself.
That total did not include the hundredfold bonus from talents.
At present, after the hundredfold bonus from Ning Xi's talent, she had already earned over 900,000 Reputation through the Divine Might Tower.
Removing the extra ninety-nine times bonus and counting only the base one percent, that came to over 9,000 Reputation.
Ning Xi checked the Divine Might Tower's status panel and happily said, "According to the estimate, it'll automatically upgrade to Level 2 at around three this afternoon."
Lin Mo nodded, "Once the Divine Might Tower upgrades and unlocks the second monster farming area, your Reputation gains will increase quite a bit."
Although the SSS Hidden Class Advancement Certificate was no longer an issue, with her tenfold reward enhancement talent, Ning Xi would continue consuming huge amounts of Reputation in the future.
Taking advantage of the Divine Might Tower to stockpile more Reputation while they still had it was naturally very important.
Of course, the most important goal was still to permanently obtain the Divine Artifact Destiny Token · Heavenly Might for Ning Xi.
The Divine Might Tower was only temporary.
Eventually, the system would reclaim it instead of letting Ning Xi keep it forever.
The Destiny Token · Heavenly Might, however, whose effect allowed a chance to gain Reputation by killing monsters, could remain with Ning Xi permanently.
Like the Divine Might Tower, the Destiny Token · Heavenly Might was also only temporarily hers at the moment.
However, using her Miracle talent, Ning Xi had forcefully unlocked the territory quest.
Once the Divine Might Tower reached Level 3, the possession period for the Destiny Token · Heavenly Might would be extended from seven days to thirty days.
Once the tower reached Level 5, she would permanently obtain the Destiny Token · Heavenly Might.
Once the tower reached Level 10, the Destiny Token · Heavenly Might would unlock unlimited upgrade potential.
Therefore, Lin Mo and Ning Xi's ultimate goal was to raise the Divine Might Tower to Level 10.
"Confident?", Lin Mo asked.
Ning Xi (looking completely serious, but speaking weakly), "Yes..."
Lin Mo asked, "Why do you sound so unconvinced?"
Ning Xi rubbed her stomach, "I'm so hungry..."
Seeing her looking completely drained, Lin Mo couldn't help laughing.
"Come on. Let's log off and eat."
"Okay!", Ning Xi's eyes immediately lit up.
The two of them immediately crushed Return Scrolls and disappeared from the Yama Hall.
They returned to Inferno City and logged off.
After eating lunch in the cafeteria and taking a short nap, they logged back in at around one o'clock.
After all, they still planned to go out that evening.
They couldn't let too much of the daytime slip away.
For now, Zhao Lingyun continued acting with Lin Mo's clone.
Since the clone had been leading the Golden Age and Ironblood guilds in exploring Inferno City's hidden opportunities, Zhao Lingyun could actually develop faster by staying with them.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi were about to head to Nightmare Town, but Zhao Lingyun's rank didn't meet the requirement, so she wouldn't be able to enter anyway.
So after parting ways with Zhao Lingyun, Lin Mo and Ning Xi headed straight for the Super Arena.
Once they finished today's matches, they would advance to Silver V, allowing them to enter Nightmare Town and begin the first phase of Ghost Domain Conqueror.

[Meanwhile, Inside Inferno City's Super Arena]
The enormous arena was as crowded as ever.
Solo Matches!
Pet Arena!
Duo Matches!
Five-Player Team Battles!
Every competition was in full swing.
Arena Experience earned from matches could increase a player's rank, allowing access to more valuable maps, dungeons, and secret realms throughout Inferno City.
Arena Points could also be exchanged in the Arena Shop for all kinds of priceless resources.
As a result, players from all walks of life fought with enthusiasm.
In one corner of the arena, a cold and beautiful female Assassin, dressed in a tight black outfit that showed off her curvy figure, crushed a Solo Arena Ticket in her hand.
