As a precaution, Yang Ling added a restriction to the foundations of the Maze Formation, then silently recited the Wizard Mantra and consumed the two Crystal Marrows. Soon, he felt an ice cold sensation spread from within his body, as if he had just consumed a chilled beer, or swallowed a piece of ice that was bone-piercingly cold.
Brought along by the Wizard Power, the ice cold sensation circulated within his body following an obscure path, one round after the next. It circulated for a long period of time, slowly being absorbed and assimilated by the Wizard Core.
The Wizard Core pulsed faster after absorbing the icy cold energy, pushing along a massive Wizard Power with every throb. The Wizard Power seeped into every fiber of his muscles and every inch of his bones under the effects of the Body Honing Wizard Mantra…
At the same time, his mental energy also ballooned. With his mind clear, the radius of his senses increased a little at a time. He could see everything… From the barbarians patrolling outside the villa, to the servants clearing off the excess snow near the meeting hall, to the hawkers peddling their wares outside the castle. It was as if his soul had left his body, allowing him to see their every action. The radius of his senses got greater and greater!
Under the effects of the Spirit Gathering Spell Formation, the amount of spiritual energy within his villa was much thicker than that of the regions deep within the Terras Forest. Coupled with the green life force released by the trees around him, the two energies slowly formed a ring of fog. It enveloped the villa and seeped into Yang Ling’s body through his pores.
As a snow-filled bale of cold wind blew past, the dark clouds in the sky slowly scattered, revealing the vast galaxy of stars up in the sky. As the starlight got reflected onto his body, Yang Ling instinctively activated his Starlight Wizard Mantra, absorbing the inexhaustible energy of the stars like a sponge. With his mind black, he subconsciously started forming a natural, yet mysterious series of hand gestures.
Roar…
Soon after, following a faint wave of roars, the pagoda-shaped mark between his brows shuddered, then maniacally started directly absorbing the energy around him like a bottomless hole. Soon, a silver vortex of energy had been formed in the air, a vortex created by the energy from the stars!
Slowly, the vortex created by the magnificent energy of the stars became increasingly larger and rotated even faster. At the same time, the pagoda-shaped brand became hotter and hotter, throbbing in agitation as it let out faint roars. The roars were not loud, but they were deep and powerful. The roars spread throughout the entire Wissen Town in an instant, spreading toward the horizon like a wave.
If Yang Ling entered the space of the Wizard’s Pagoda now, he would realize that not only was the entire space expanding rapidly, the images of the ferocious beasts on the Wizard’s Pagoda was also getting clearer and clearer, all of them letting out earthshaking roars in unison.
With his mind black, Yang Ling was completely oblivious to the transformation of the Wizard’s Pagoda, remaining motionless while he formed obscure hand gestures; But the people in the town were jolted awake after they heard the roars that seemed to hit even their souls. People who had a higher level of mental energy were more sensitive to these roars!
What is that sound?
After hearing the terrifying roars, Goode, who had bloodshot eyes and had just went to sleep, sat up in fear. He listened intently for a moment before his expression changed when he realized that the sound came from the villa where Yang Ling was at. He rushed out as fast as the wind, not even waiting to put on his shoes.
My god, what is that?
He had just charged outside when he saw the patrolling guards looking at the sky in fear. He could not help but tremble when he looked up. He could not come to his senses for the longest time as he stared at the terrifying vortex of energy in the sky!
“Quick, level one emergency, kill any suspicious characters you come across!”
After managing a reaction, Goode swallowed with difficulty before giving an order, then lead a team of elite guards straight for the villa where Yang Ling was at.
Even though he did not understand what was going on for the time being, he did not need to think too deeply to realize that these incidents were connected to Yang Ling, seeing that the epicenter of the energy vortex was where Yang Ling’s villa was at, and that the frightening roars were also coming from the same place. He was afraid that someone had infiltrated the castle with the motive of harming Yang Ling.
Goode was shocked, but the various factions in the territory were no exception!
In the temporary outpost of the Dark Association, Elder Klive, who was deep in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, then disappeared into thin air, quickly arriving at a tall mountain nearby. He shook when he saw the massive energy vortex above the Wissen Castle and heard the waves of deep, powerful roars.
Could this be the ability of a top-notch fighter from the family of Ancient Summoners? Or could this be a unique method of reinforcement from his family?
Even though Elder Klive heaved a sigh of relief after ascertaining that Yang Ling was not in mortal danger through his magical crystal ball, he was also incredibly confused, unable to understand what was going on for the time being. However, he was sure of one thing. The family backing Yang Ling was definitely not an average family!
Without an obscure magical spell, without powerful abilities, one is definitely unable to ignite such an intense natural phenomenon! The energy vortex in the sky above the Wissen Castle once again solidified his resolve in wanting a partnership with Yang Ling’s family.
“An aura of the soul of all living things, my god, what is going on?”
In a corner deep within the Terras Forest, a muscular humanoid figure with the head of a lion was shocked when he saw the rare energy vortex in the sky and heard the waves of roars that seemed to come straight from someone’s soul, completely oblivious to the fact that his snake-shaped magical staff had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, at the southern edge of the Terras Forest, a white robed Spellcaster sitting on top of a giant rock slowly opened his eyes. He had a thought as he saw the alarming scene in the sky above the Wissen Castle and heard the strange roars, recalling an ancient legend recorded within the Church.
After swallowing with difficulty, he called over a Red-robed Cardinal and whispered to him a few instructions. The latter shivered before leaving quickly, heading back to the faraway Holy City through a Magical Spell Formation not far away.
…
Many of the people in Wissen Town could not sleep after witnessing this miraculous scene.
The kind people groveled under the moonlight, sincerely praying for the blessings of the deities. They hoped that the deities protected their families, protected the newly born Magical Beast Territory, as well as the leader who had given them endless hope.
Those who had committed wrongdoings felt their heart tremble. In their hearts, the vortex had painted the Wissen Castle with another layer of a mysterious light. After coming to their senses, they contacted the factions they were under through any means possible…
People were greatly alarmed, but Yang Ling, who was the cause of this phenomenon was completely oblivious, letting loose as he absorbed the pure energy in the surroundings. His soul seemed to be wandering within the universe. He observed the natural growth of towering trees, the natural deaths of planets… In his daze, he seemed to have touched the origin of energy in this world.
Who am I?
Sometime later, after an ice cold snowflake fell onto his neck, Yang Ling slowly came to his senses, slowly opening his eyes. He saw a group of mountains in the distance, he saw the floating clouds at the horizon and felt momentarily lost. He did not know where he was, in fact, he was not exactly sure who he was!
“Brother Yang, let me in, Brother Yang…”
“Sir, Sir…”
…
Soon the cries that came from outside the villa attracted his attention. With a thought, he immediately went out to see what was going on.
Brother Yang?
Looking at the anxious Yuna and Alice outside the villa with his powerful senses, looking at the worried Goode, Murbaqi, Viola and the rest, Yang Ling had a thought as countless memories flashed past his brain. Soon, his consciousness slowly awakened. He then closely examined the transformation his body went through.
His Wizard Core was now red and full of energy, pushing along an unprecedentedly large amount of Wizard Power with every pulse. In the past, his senses only reached a radius of a mere fifty meters, but now, it could easily cover the entire Wissen Castle!
Compared to the changes to his body, the transformation within the space of the Wizard’s Pagoda was even greater!
The lake where the Tree of Life was had become boundless, almost as vast as the Mediterranean Sea, with waves crashing within; The seeds and saplings that Yuna had sown had grown to become trees overnight, each of them several storeys tall. Looking from far away, they spanned thousands of miles, as if they were part of a primordial forest that had existed for millennia.
The forest of Arrow Bamboos used to only have a radius of a few miles, but it was now at least dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles wide. There was a mass of Arrow Bamboos, the forest much greater than the one in the Wilderness of Siberia. The Arrow Bamboos here were also of a higher quality.
The lake within the base of Flying Dragons had also grown several times larger. Even though it was not as large as the lake where the Tree of Life was at, Yang Ling also could not see the end of this lake. There was a mass of Dragon Bone Grass by the lake, creating a field of green spanning toward the horizon.
…
Could I have not only broken through the hurdle to mid-level Heaven Wizard, but also advanced to the level of Divine Wizard in one sitting?
Yang Ling had a thought as he looked at the boundless lake and the forests that spanned thousands of miles, then recalled his massive amounts of Wizard Power and alarming senses. He appeared in front of the Wizard’s Pagoda using his Earth Evasion Technique. Walking in, he realized that the door to the third level of the Wizard’s Pagoda had opened without him realizing it.
Similar to the first and second levels, there was also a stele on the third level of the Wizard’s Pagoda. The stele was carved full of words and pictures. Unlike the other levels there were several items placed to the left of the stele, each of them releasing waves of obscure energy ripples. Some of the ripples of energy were fully transparent, while others were a field of red…
“Brother Yang, let me in, Brother Yang…”
“Sir, Sir…”
…
Just as Yang Ling was prepared to closely examine the secrets of the third level of the Wizard’s Pagoda, another wave of cries came from outside the villa. In frustration, he had no choice but to exit the space of the Wizard’s Pagoda and head out of his villa.
“Brother Yang, are you alright?”
Seeing Yang Ling suddenly appear before her eyes, Yuna pounced forward without consideration, her face covered in tears. Ever since the strange scene happened last night, Yuna had been guarding outside his villa, crying the entire night. She was worried that Yang Ling would meet with any misfortune.
“I am alright, don’t worry!” After hugging Yuna tightly and gently patting her back, Yuna looked at Goode, confused. The latter understood Yang Ling, then hesitated for a moment before telling Yang Ling about the scene that happened last night.
Yang Ling had an epiphany after understanding what was going on, confirming that he had already advanced to the level of Divine Wizard. According to the explanation on the stele, a large amount of energy was required for one to advance from Heaven Wizard to Divine Wizard, or from Divine Wizard to Soul Wizard, and that would incite a natural phenomenon
