.....
Leylin true physical limit is much greater than his current stats, the manifestation of such prowess is not capable in his body currently because he has not cross the threshold to morning star physique. Anything above that could only be explored by Morning Star Magus and through point mass.
The power of the point mass, soul force, is the only power a Morning Star Magus has! However, it greatly surpasses spiritual force and physical strength, having achieved a terrifying qualitative change!
Even if a Morning star Magus don't specialise in physical attacks, as long as they have the amplification of soul force, their vitality will be able to break through the boundaries and ultimately allow them to attain the perfect body of Morning Star!
Although Leylin attributes are ridiculously high, he lacks the qualitative leap acquired by point mass.
The strength of spiritual force, will only collapse in front of soul force!
The power of the point mass, also known as soul force, was the next evolution of spiritual force. Only Morning Star Magi could possess such a thing.
Soul force, were not only powerful in physical attacks. They could even attack the spiritual sea within a Magus' sea of consciousness!
Magi who were below the Morning Star realm, without a soul force defence of equivalent power, did not have the slightest chance of resisting the sharp blades of the raging soul force.
This was the reason Morning Star Magi had almost no enemies at rank 3. Soul force was just too terrifying!
The soul force of a Morning Star Magus surpassed spiritual force in terms of quality. Due to this enormous disparity in strength, most of the thods of Magi were rendered ineffective.
Spiritual force was fundantal to a Magus.
In the beginning, as acolytes, all Magi would start with ditation. They would begin to ditate in a willpower rune of their own, and construct a core spirit body, together with a sea of consciousness.
After advancing to the realm of official Magi, they would have a conversion of elental essence amounting to 80% or more, in order to advance into rank 2.
After materialising spiritual force in rank 2, and then passing through the three stages of Vapour, Hydro, and Crystal in rank 3, the point mass would finally be ford.
The point mass was fundantal to Morning Star Magi. It was the path for everyone, even spirits! Once they broke past this bottleneck, the spiritual force in a Magus' sea of consciousness would sublimate to form soul force.
This was a threshold in ancient tis, used to mark the difference in strengths between Magi. Only those who were capable of using soul force would be considered to have stepped foot into the world of ancient Magi!
As soul force had a horrifying suppressive power, low ranking Magi would lose their ability to communicate with the elents, and would end up disconnected from the elental particles. Those who were suppressed would be unable to resist or escape. Many Morning Star Magi liked using this trick in their domains. Hence, over ti, they successfully enhanced the prestige of a Morning Star Magus.
Leylin thought about his progress as well as his future path and suddenly outside the room, a pleasant voices similar to that of an oriole sounded, "Master, it's ti for lunch!"
Leylin smiled and exited the room.
Anna in her maid costu was kneeling on the one side of the room. She had a pleasant smile on her face. Behind her stood two other cute maids.
It was clear that these two emitted energy waves unique to rank 1 Magi, and they possessed a special charm.
They were actually Warlocks! Even though they were only rank 1 and did not have a pure bloodline, they were still hard to co by.
They were Warlocks under Leylin's guidance. The two were actually sisters who ca from the sa family tribe of Giant Mankestre Snake Warlocks. Due to the restrictions of their bloodlines, their position in the Ouroboros Clan was very low. Once Leylin had released news that he was hiring, the family had imdiately sent these two sisters to serve him in his tower.
The Magus Tower was extrely dangerous. Even its living quarters had large amounts of radiation, and commoners would not be able to live on the premises. Only Magi were suited to stay within.
Leylin's Magus Tower was naturally only open to a few of his acolytes and subordinates. Even though they were only given access to the living areas and a few laboratories, it was more than enough for them to be moved to tears.
Leylin looked at Anna and asked, "I have so important experint to take care of, so I won't be having lunch. How is Lancy?"
After being in coma for a while Lancy finally recovered enough to wake up, at first she was very weak and fragile but with ti her conditions stabilized. As of now, Lancy cannot walk on her own feet, as for strength that matter is better off not talked about.
"Lady Lancy is doing good, Ivy took her to a walk around the city. Both Roderick and Cole is also there so that nothing unforseen happens." Anna answered respectfully, Although Lancy has lost her strength. Her respect and position is still very high in the eyes of Leylin subordinates. Lancy took the political issues of the domain in her hands since she had nothing to do and has established a bit of reputation. Everyone knows that Leylin values her so, she is one of the most respectable figure in the Mahakaal Castle and Leylin's territory. Not even Leylin's Rank 3 Black Horrall snake vassals dare disrespect or dean her.
Leylin nodded as he started to move to his lab, Leylin doesn't even need to ask about Lita because he knew that she spent all of her ti ditating in the Lamia radiation area so that she could mature her bloodline. These hundred years have been very kind to her and instead of holding up inside the Magus Tower and using all of the resources to increase her strength she took the initiative to go on different mission and attain field knowledge. Her strength has increased a lot and she has gained a bit of reputation in the clan, the most popular thing is her extrely pure bloodline.
...
Soon after Leylin reached his Magus Tower. The underground of the Magus Tower was separated into many little rooms, forming many laboratories. The facilities were first-rate even in the central continent, and Leylin had only been able to achieve this by spending many magic crystals and resources.
In the past, a few less important laboratories were open to a few high-ranked Warlocks that were under Leylin.
Now, however, this layer was empty. The Magi who usually remained in the Magus Tower had followed Leylin's command and left for a while. Even Lita, had been asked to step out.
In the innermost, largest and most advanced laboratory, Leylin stood silently, staring a rune on the floor.
Though he had simulated this activity a great many tis with the A.I. Chip, he was still extrely focused while he scanned, concentrating on the rune and lines on the ground.
Compared to the other spell runes used in the central continent, what he was now analyzing evidently held the style of another dinsion. So parts were even a ss of disorganised figures and lines, but closer inspection revealed that they were strangely three-dinsional.
Only when the stroke was done did Leylin sigh slightly, looking at the spell formation that had no mistakes. "It's finally done!"
[Scanning completed, confirmation that there are no errors.] The A.I. Chip's voice sounded at this mont.
'The ti has finally co, to my calculation it should be the ti when the disturbance occurs and the three elders are fooled with the coordinates.' Leylin thought as he stroked his chin. The three elders has been a thorn in the side of the Jupiter's Lightning so, the Rank 5 Magus used the coordinates of a world similar to Purgatory World to entice them. This is in no way ans that they would be stranded but at the final movent when they couldn't held their desire and started the Astral Gate, the opposition acted and cut off their retreat path leaving them with no way back. This cornered them and also made the clan vulnerable without the protection of a Morning star.
The world they ended up in was Lava World which held an aura full of flas and sulphur, it wasn't a fluke that Gilbert and the others mistook that place for Purgatory World.
Leylin had gone out and went through the trouble of finding this opportunity. Was it all not for the purpose of preliminary astral experints? Hence, he had been impatient to begin his research.
All experints related to the astral plane were dangerous, and this held true even for preliminary ones. Hence, Leylin had no choice but to disperse all the Magi in the tower. This was to eliminate all external influences so that he could concentrate on the experints here.
Interplanar experints were a high-level research that only Morning Star Magi could conduct. They were connected to the glory of the ancient era, and Leylin ambitiously hoped to make use of this research.
Hence, this preparatory research work was vital.
Even this research had very stringent requirents. A high-grade Magus Tower, Hydro Phase strength and astral stones were the most basic requirents..
Though the requirent for the Magus was rely to have reached the Hydro Phase, Leylin being a peak Crystal Phase before he began the research is the best he could do safety wise.
The more powerful he was, the safer he would be. This was indisputable.
The information for the preparatory work regarding the astral gate obviously ca from Duke Gilbert. By aiding him in many experints, Leylin had gained valuable experience.
At the heart of this giant interplanar spell formation was the astral stone that he had gained from Beast World. The blue lustre on its surface seed more powerful.
Leylin took in a deep breath and checked everything once more. Only after ensuring was fine did he issue the command. "Tower genie, begin charging!"
[Confirming authority. ] The tower genie rapidly reported.
The Magi outside watched this marvellous scene. The runes on the giant black Magus Tower dimd one after the other. Besides a very dim glow, it had basically stopped operating.
After its construction over a hundred years ago, this was the first ti that this had happened. It imdiately gave rise to the panic of residents who knew nothing. This Magus Tower was a safeguard to them, and was the thing that could preserve their lives and safety.
Kubler, who had stayed behind in Mahakaal Castle, had no choice but to dispatch patrolling officers to put down these worries.
*Buzz!*The giant Magus Tower trembled, and terrifying elental tides ford two large rainbows, one dark and one light. One disappeared into the crest, the other into the base.
"Tower beginning charging, and positive and negative energy pools are revolving!" The genie reported.
Within the Magus Tower.
Leylin gazed steadily at the giant interplanar spell formation. With the positive and negative energy pools working at full strength, the runes atop the spell formation lit up one after the other, causing terrifying waves of spatial undulations to converge on the spot.
[Spell formation working as per normal. 77% activated. Gaia cuvatures stabilised.] The A.I. Chip constantly monitored the spell formation, reporting to Leylin occasionally.
With the spell formation slowly activating, the blue rays from the astral stone right in the middle condensed, giving off a resplendent light.
The spatial undulations that had been on the verge of going berserk fused with the blue light and quickly stabilised, surging in a single direction.
At the sa ti, Leylin sensed that a frightening energy was surging out of the astral stone, supporting the operation of the entire spell formation.
[Spell formation activation increasing in speed. Progress at 78%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 100%!] The A.I. Chip rapidly intoned.
When all the runes within the spell formation lit up, the spatial energy followed a channel and converged before Leylin, forming a silver mirror the size of a fist. At the heart of the mirror was a small vortex, its destination unknown.
Leylin had seen this situation multiple tis at Gilbert's. This ant that he had now made contact with the astral plane!
However, this spiritual force channel of his was much smaller than Gilbert's. Furthermore, he could not open a few simultaneously, and could only allow the entry of spiritual force seeds to find coordinates. Physical beings could not pass through.
Though he had lost the chance to fish for benefits, it was good that his safety was not compromised. In a way, the gains balanced the losses.
Leylin carefully appreciated this feeling. There was large difference between helping with soone else's experints and performing one alone.
For instance, Leylin now sensed that with the assistance from the spell formation, especially with the energy from the astral stone in the middle, his own spiritual force seed to be able to peep at the edges of a frightening dinsion.
This was a confluence of ti and space, the peak of the universe. A higher dinsion which had an unexplainable existence!
Even just the aura that was given off was dazzling and glorious, going on for eternity and stimulating his desires to explore.
The opportunity to see the astral plane was a very rare opportunity for Magi. They might not even need other advantages; just observing the astral plane every day would bring about indescribable benefits.
Of course, this was impossible. Experints on the astral plane everyday? Even Morning Star Magi would go bankrupt!
[Beginning projection of spiritual force onto the astral plane. Recording data.]
The A.I. Chip instantly intoned under Leylin's guidance.
A thread of Crystal Phase spiritual force, with the gleam of actual crystals which held a glistening red blood drop, appeared from Leylin's forehead and ford a spiritual force seed before quickly disappearing into the silver mirror, and into the vortex.
"Begin localisation support, activate navigation mode!" Leylin commanded.
Imdiately after, his spiritual force seed seed to find its way in the chaotic space, and went head on dauntlessly, even going against the current.
The A.I. Chip quickly began to calculate, and numbers began flashing before Leylin's eyes..
[Spatial turbulence estimated to happen in 0.49. Suggested directional change is 69 degrees to the right.]
This spiritual communication happened in an instant, and Leylin's spiritual force seed imdiately moved in a different direction, accurately avoiding the spatial turbulence. It even joined an undercurrent that headed east, floating further away.
Compared to Gilbert's experints where he depended on luck, Leylin's thod was evidently more effective, and he would find it easier to obtain results.
While he was at Gilbert's, Leylin tried to familiarise himself with the A.I. Chip's functions. He could gain the experience and go through with his plans when he was conducting his own experints.
With help from the A.I. Chip, chances of his spiritual force seed being destroyed are much lesser than average but ultimately, the support system of the A.I. Chip also has its limits. At most, it will allow Leylin to go further than other Magi can.
The dangerous spatial turbulences were extrely terrifying and unpredictable. Even with the frightening calculation abilities of the A.I. Chip, it was difficult to completely establish a pattern and understand them.
Leylin was very expectant of his success, it could lead to great benefits. So far, Leylin has conducted a few experint but he hasn't achieve anything but his familiarity with the spatial movent was a valuable lesson in its own. According to the prophecy Leylin has made, the greatest chance of success of actually achieving sothing that could be beneficial for him is now.
This is the reason Leylin took a step further and added his Pure Blood Essence to each of the spiritual seed so, that it won't just wither quickly if by any chance he cos in contact with a very far desolate World.
In matters like these that depend on probability, the help from Lancy was invaluable. She has been able to give him a ti and direction which is the most important thing for Leylin but to predict anything as long as it deal with the Morning Star Realm is not possible for her and, the mont she did, it had frightful repercussions.
As for the turbulence in the astral plane? This could be even more dangerous than Morning Star Magi.
"I hope that this could lead to sowhere or else all would have been for nothing." Leylin sighed and sent the dark crimson spiritual force seed in. Leylin could do nothing if he failed, His wait has been worth the effort so he has no complain there, only Lancy sacrifice would be a pity. Leylin could still breakthrough and he would still be an entity most certainly unmatched in the Morning Star. No one should discount the amazing ability of his current bloodline. This is just the last ditch effort to digest the full extent of his ability.
Leylin ability to assimilate the bloodline into one has been rather successful, in the Beast World he sowhat broke his bloodline shackles creating a frightening bloodline. Afterwards with his knowledge of bloodline rging and transformation he was able to assimilate and accumulate with ti taking his bloodline a step further. If Leylin were to clash with the Lamia remnants again he would definitely crush it bloodline suppression by a huge margin.
After reaching this stage, Leylin could have considered to have taken his fate in his hand branching off of the normal path but currently Leylin wants to go an extra mile and reach absolute perfection which would submit his Bloodline transformation. This is what this is about, back in the day Leylin could do with only 80% elental conversion before breaking through to Rank 2 but he wanted more, he didn't only stop at 99% but insanely cross that and achieve the impossible.
In his mind as long as he could, he definitely would but the ti is of essence so, if he fails Leylin would breakthrough either way. He can't forgot his priorities.
'Imdiate Justice over unreachable Ideals.' Leylin has to take the last step with caution and determination.
[Monitoring. Vortex estimated to appear on left, recomndation to move far away.]
Leylin's eyes were now emanating blue light. The A.I. Chip's abilities were being utilised to the fullest as large amounts of data appeared before him.
He was like a helmsman who had gone through gales and waves. Amidst the storms, he continued to guide the seed forward, dodging in impossible ways and avoiding spatial turbulences.
Within the gigantic spatial crack, the golden ray was like a little boat passing through gaps in the turbulence, its movents unbelievably agile and smooth.
*Awooo…* At this mont, a sneaky figure suddenly appeared in the air, pouncing towards the crimson spiritual force seed.
"Creature of the void. What nuisance! " Leylin spoke in disdain, he could easily distinguish that it was not at Morning Star which ant it wasn't a concern to him. Creatures that lived in these spatial cracks usually had terrifying spatial abilities, and the A.I. Chip was much too far away to scan and notice it.
"Get lost!" The dim crimson spiritual force seed quickly released a pulse from the glistening crimson blood which caused the black figure to shriek and roar, retreating away.
[*Beep!* Warning! Warning! Spatial turbulence estimated to happen in: 0.00023s!] The A.I. Chip's prompt sounded again.
"Showti!" Leylin's eyes were now slightly bloodshot, and he was doing all he could to stay near the area and at the sa ti avoid that region. He wanted the turbulence to throw the seed in an unpredictable route but he had to do so while maintaining a safe distance or else he would be devoured.
*Rumble!* Berserk spatial undulations swept through, and Leylin's spiritual force seed was struggling to stay outside the orbit.
At this mont, the crimson rays on the seed flickered.
*Rumble!* An even more powerful spatial turbulence ford at the side. The two spatial storms collided, wreaking havoc on space itself.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* Countless bolts of silver lightning crashed into each other, tearing open nurous spatial cracks.
Leylin's spiritual force seed actually followed along a crack and, despite the alarm it had caused, fell in without harm.
"The power of destiny!" Leylin, who had seen this scene, suddenly sighed, holding more reverence for the mysterious, unasurable power of destiny.
