“At this stage, it’s best to focus on talisman crafting and leave alchemy for after my ascension,” the Holy Infant decided.
He then took out the three techniques for ascending to the primordial soul level.
“Earth Core Crystal Shattering Technique: This thod involves traveling to the vicinity of a small plane’s core and using imnse pressure to shatter the crystal. It’s a common technique in the Earth School of Thought and the Burning School of Thought, similar to the Thunder Fire Crystal Shattering Technique. It’s a second-rate thod, relying on external forces, with a few drawbacks.”
First, reaching the core of a small plane is difficult, as most fifth-circle wizards lack the ability to venture into the Land of Darkness to find such a plane.
Second, even near the core of a small plane, the temperature, density, and pressure are incredibly daunting. Those with insufficient cultivation may be crushed by the high pressure before even reaching the core.
As a result, the Earth School of Thought developed arrays to simulate the core’s environnt. These arrays are less effective and have a lower success rate, but they are safer.
“I do have access to a small plane—the Ancient Saint Plane. This thod might co in handy in the future.”
“Mountain Moving Soul Condensation Technique: This third-rate soul condensation thod involves covering a small mountain with one’s spiritual force before ascending to the primordial soul level. Gradually, you try to lift the mountain with your spiritual force. Through years of practice, when the mountain slightly trembles, you’re ready. At this point, you take a breakthrough potion and shatter the crystal, potentially giving birth to a primordial soul. Even a small mountain hundreds of ters high weighs an imnse amount, highlighting the vast difference between the primordial soul and the fifth-circle level.”
A fifth-circle perfection wizard, using their full power and spells, might shatter a small mountaintop. But moving a mountain with spiritual force alone is an entirely different level.
Spells are a shortcut for wizards to harness supernatural strength and are the leverage for manipulating the world. Without spells, no matter how strong one’s spiritual force, moving a mountain is nearly impossible.
Even with Levi’s current knight realm, activating the Fla Dragon’s true form and various enhancents, he couldn’t physically lift a mountain.
“No wonder primordial souls are so revered. Their power can stir rivers and seas, move mountains—it’s not just a legend!”
The Holy Infant looked at the last technique.
“Dragon Soul Mystic Classic: Created by the Arcanist of Blood through wild imagination, it is divided into two parts: the Dragon Blood Crystal Shattering Technique and the Dragon Soul Spirit Concentration Technique.”
“The Dragon Blood Crystal Shattering Technique requires two types of level six or higher dragon blood. The conflicting nature of different dragon bloodlines is used to shatter the crystal through their clash.
“The Dragon Soul Spirit Concentration Technique involves sending the bewildered soul of a level six or higher sub-dragon into one’s spiritual sea, rging it with the crystal. When the crystal is finally shattered, the result is not a pure primordial soul but a ‘Dragon Primordial Soul,’ a powerful being half-wizard, half-sub-dragon. This is too insane; it’s even riskier than the Earth Core Crystal Shattering Technique and the Mountain Moving Soul Condensation Technique.”
After reading, the Holy Infant felt that the Arcanist of Blood was indeed a madman.
No wonder he went insane. He deliberately used the conflicting nature of different dragon bloodlines to impact the crystal and fused a dragon soul into his own crystal. This was truly beyond human limits.
“Without a cheat, playing like this is courting death.”
The Holy Infant sighed, storing away all the secret techniques.
He was still far from reaching the primordial soul level. For now, he needed to gather more secret techniques, compare them, and use this knowledge as a reference. Whether he relied on others’ thods or created his own in the future, these insights would be invaluable.
“Let’s continue crafting talismans and strive to reach the fourth level soon.”
…
Ti flew by, months passed.
In the Holy Brilliance Calendar year 1195, during the Month of Northern Wind, in the western part of the Kane Empire, lay the Ron Province.
This area, once a frontier, had beco an established province of the empire over the years.
The Church of Chaos had established the Thunder Monastery in Ron Province, led by Lightning Supre Mage Nurezz. In Stan City, the second largest city in the province after the capital, the Order of Thunder maintained peace and eliminated heresy.
On this particular day, thick smoke rose from the central part of Stan City, where the Order of Thunder’s treasury was located.
Nine witches and one wizard were battling a group of top mages from the order. These were two squads from the Witch’s Family executing a joint mission, led by Phantom Witch Sierra and Green Vine Witch Winnie, both at the fourth-circle perfection level.
Anya, the main offensive force of the team, sat cross-legged at the back, protected by green bronze armor.
With a flick of his fingers, knights’ longswords materialized and flew towards the enemies.
Just then, a mage from the order sneaked up from behind.
“Heretic!” he shouted angrily, gripping his lightning staff. A huge lightning ball shot towards Anya.
A shadow flashed, shattering the lightning ball into electric serpents that dissipated.
It was the Phantom Witch. She smiled slightly and with a wave of her hand, a massive water vortex appeared around the mage, pulling him in.
“Thank you!” Anya smiled, though he was confident his protective force field could have withstood the attack.
