Now, after sensing the abnormality of the surrounding environment, Lin Li was very suspicious that this world could be a Meditation Land created by Geresco. Of course, the strong mana waves and high concentration of magical elements did not mean that it was suitable for meditation. After all, meditation was not like eating or drinking, and it was not something that could be done just by swallowing food into one's stomach.
For example, after experiencing the baptism of the magic tides in Anril, both the mana waves and the concentration of magical elements had reached a rather high level. However, in Lin Li's opinion, it was not suitable for a Meditation Land for mages, because the magical elements were forcefully poured into the mages' bodies instead of being actively guided and converted into their own mana by the mages.
Such a result resulted in the emergence of pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses. Although many people broke through the bottleneck, many magic geniuses might also be destroyed. In Anril today, the truly far-sighted mages would not take advantage of this opportunity to quickly increase their strength, but instead find ways to control the infusion of magical elements and suppress the growth of their mana.
Hence, although there were strong mana waves and an extremely high concentration of magical elements in this world, Lin Li was not very sure if it was the Meditation Land that he had guessed. He would only know if he tried it himself.
However, it was definitely not possible to meditate in the sky, as he would easily become a target for those prehistoric magical beasts. Lin Li found a more suitable place in the air before flying over and landing on the ground.
Lin Li first set up a large Alarm Array around him so that he could wake up from his meditative state in time if any uninvited guests appeared. After all, there were too many prehistoric magical beasts in this world, and even if he was confident in his own strength, he dared not be the slightest bit careless lest he failed miserably.
After making those preparations, Lin Li could finally put his heart at ease, and sat on the ground in a rather secluded place. He quickly entered a state of meditation, and began to try to absorb the magical elements in the space.
Lin Li almost jumped out of shock when he tried it out. It was too terrifying. He had only made a small start, and the magical elements from the outside world immediately rushed into his body like floodwaters that had opened the floodgates. More importantly, he didn't have to spend too much effort to convert the magical elements. It was as if the magical elements originally belonged to him and were easily converted into his own mana.
One had to know that this was an extremely rare occurrence! If one were to use an inappropriate analogy to describe the process of meditation, a mage's meditation was like hunting, capturing the magical elements in the air, and then spending effort to tame them. Only then would the magical elements finally become one's own magic power.
Of course, there was also a problem with the degree of taming. The reason why the pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses in Anril could only be considered pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses was because they could not use the mana as they wished even though they had transformed the magical elements into mana.
Hence, absorbing more magical elements didn't mean that one could convert more mana. Even if one could convert all the magical elements into mana, it didn't mean that one could use the mana freely.
However, in this world, Lin Li could completely feel that the magical elements in this world were much better than those in Anril. In fact, Lin Li didn't even need to go through the process of taming them. The magical elements naturally became his mana, and were extremely obedient to any of his commands.
It's really the Meditation Land. This is really Geresco's Meditation Land! Lin Li was so excited that he almost fainted. He was just worrying about the problem of accumulating mana, and didn't expect to find Geresco's Meditation Land. It was just like having a pillow when he was dozing off. Although he had only given it a small try, he could still judge through his calculations that the gains from meditating in this Meditation Land for an hour were almost equivalent to a day outside.
An hour was equivalent to a day. What kind of concept was that? Even an ordinary mage would become a magic genius with the help of this Meditation Land. If they knew that there was such a heaven-defying Meditation Land, any mage would probably go crazy for it.
To be honest, the place where the Tower of Dusk was built was not a good place. After all, there were so many local forces in the Breezy Plains, and the really good places had long been occupied by them. All along, Lin Li had been using Legendary magical crystals to create an environment suitable for meditation for the mages of the Tower of Dusk. In particular, after the first exploration of the Sky Castle, Lin Li obtained the control crystal of the Sky Castle. Under the influence of the power of the control crystal, the efficiency of the mages of the Tower of Dusk's meditation was greatly improved.
However, now that Lin Li had obtained the Sky Castle, the control crystal naturally had to be placed in the control center of the Sky Castle. He couldn't possibly let the mages go to the control center to meditate. Although the efficiency of the mages' meditation in the Sky Castle was also astonishing, that was only for ordinary people. Lin Li had always been dissatisfied with the speed. He was the only one who knew how pressed for time was.
Now that Lin Li had such an incredible Meditation Land, did he still have to worry about the slow progress of his subordinates? With the help of this Meditation Land, the mages of the Tower of Dusk could completely accumulate mana in the shortest time possible. For example, if a mage who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm wanted to reach the peak of level-21, he would probably need at least one or two years to accumulate mana. However, if he were to enter the Meditation City, it would only be a matter of a few to a dozen days. After that, he would be able to prepare for his breakthrough.
However, just as Lin Li was fantasizing about the beautiful future excitedly, he suddenly felt a violent vibration coming from the ground, and soon, a warning signal was sent from the Alarm Array.
Lin Li hurriedly stood up and looked in the direction of the warning, only to see a large group of behemoths rushing towards him with heavy footsteps.
Damn it, it's the prehistoric magical beasts again! Lin Li cursed, not because he was afraid of fighting with the prehistoric magical beasts, but because the appearance of the prehistoric magical beasts made him think of a problem that he had to face.
There were so many Sanctuary-level prehistoric magical beasts in the Meditation City. How could Lin Li feel at ease letting his subordinates meditate there? That would probably just be adding food to the prehistoric magical beasts. Perhaps Lin Li could guard by the side, but he could only do it once or twice. No one would be able to stand it if it were to take too long. Besides, if they were to really fight, which mage would have the ability to meditate in such an environment!?
Indeed, it was the cause of both success and failure! Lin Li now also understood why there were so many Sanctuary-level prehistoric magical beasts in this world. Even a rabbit would probably become a Sanctuary-level rabbit after more than 1,000 years as long as it was not eaten by other magical beasts.
At the same time, Lin Li also knew why Geresco had placed the Meditation Land after the Barbarous Arena. Only by going through the training in the Barbarous Arena and reaching a certain level of strength would one be able to survive in the Meditation Land. Otherwise, entering in advance would simply be courting death.
While Lin Li was thinking about that, the group of prehistoric magical beasts that had disturbed Lin Li's sweet dreams finally rushed forward and revealed their true appearances. They turned out to be a group of Behemoths that were worshipped as holy beasts by the orcs.
In Anril, the wyrms were known as the kings of the sky, while the Behemoths were recognized as the overlords of the land. They had bodies that were even stronger than the wyrms, and their massive power could even topple a hill. Their defense was also not inferior to that of the wyrms. Be it physical or magical attacks, it would be difficult to break their incomparably tough skin.
There were about dozens of Behemoths, and the one in the middle should be their king. Its body was obviously taller and stronger than the other Behemoths. The Behemoth King was tens of meters tall, and its entire body seemed to be made of gold. It glistened under the sun, adding a sense of nobility to its ferocious appearance.
Golden Behemoth!
Seeing the appearance of the King of Behemoth, Lin Li couldn't help but look more solemn. The Golden Behemoth was the noblest bloodline in the Behemoth Clan, just like the royal family of the High Elves. Not every Behemoth King was a Golden Behemoth, but any Golden Behemoth definitely possessed power that was far beyond that of ordinary Behemoth Kings.
Legend had it that during the prehistoric times, the Golden Behemoth bloodline was at its peak, and the Behemoths even became the third largest race after the ancient wyrms and the Titans. However, for some reason, the prosperity of the Behemoths only lasted for 1,000 years, and then gradually declined due to the decrease in the number of Golden Behemoths.
Judging from the mana fluctuations of the Golden Behemoth in front of Lin Li, it was almost at the peak of level-28, which seemed to be inferior to his last opponent in the Barbarous Arena. However, coupled with the insane defense of the Golden Behemoth, it was definitely qualified to be the most difficult opponent that Lin Li had encountered so far.
Lin Li guessed that the Behemoths had probably appeared there because they had been attracted by the two battles that he had fought previously. The Sanctuary-level magical crystals were not only useful to Lin Li, but also extremely attractive to other magical beasts. And this group of Behemoths most likely wanted to reap the benefits from the fight, which was why they hurried over.
However, it didn't matter what the reason was. Lin Li didn't intend to escape, and the Behemoths obviously wouldn't let him go, either. A battle between the two parties was inevitable.
The Golden Behemoth roared at the sky, and the Behemoths on the left and right immediately scattered in all directions, surrounding Lin Li in the middle. Clearly, they were trying to prevent Lin Li from escaping.
However, in Lin Li's opinion, there was really no need for that. If he wanted to escape, he could just fly into the sky. The Behemoths were known as the overlords of the land, and even the Golden Behemoths couldn't fly. Hence, they couldn't stop him from escaping.
Clearly, the Golden Behemoth didn't know that the wingless little thing in front of it could fly away from its head at any time. Seeing that its subordinates had already surrounded Lin Li, the Golden Behemoth immediately launched an attack on Lin Li. Its massive body didn't seem clumsy at all, and in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared in front of Lin Li. Its massive front claws almost covered the sky above Lin Li's head, and it slammed down with a loud roar.
BOOM! A loud bang sounded, and the ground shook. A large pit was blasted out of the ground where the Golden Behemoth had slammed, as if a meteorite had hit the ground.
Of course, Lin Li wouldn't be slapped to death so easily. At the moment before the Golden Behemoth's giant claws slammed down, his body had already shot out like a sharp arrow. However, the Elemental Shield on his body was also being smashed by the gravel that shot out from all directions, causing it to shake continuously. Such a situation made him secretly speechless. The gravel that was stirred up probably had the power of a Legendary-mage's Elemental Shield. If it were an ordinary Legendary-mage, he might not be able to withstand it.
While flying, Lin Li suddenly turned around and pointed the Helios' Scepter at the Golden Behemoth, after which a golden wave of fire swept towards it. With the appearance of the golden wave of fire, the surrounding temperature suddenly skyrocketed, and the surrounding trees were almost instantly burnt into charcoal. The ground that the wave of fire passed even turned into red lava.
However, in the face of such a terrifying wave of fire, the Golden Behemoth didn't have any intention of dodging at all. Instead, it chased after Lin Li, and its massive body crashed into the wave of fire with a loud bang. If it were any other magical beast, it would have been burnt to ashes. Even the ancient wyrms probably wouldn't have dared to collide with it. However, the Golden Behemoth's body was still glistening with golden light, and not a single strand of hair had been burnt.
Fortunately, Lin Li's mental fortitude was strong enough, and he wasn't frightened by the shocking scene. Seeing that the Golden Behemoth had rushed out of the fire, he immediately turned around and flew in another direction without hesitation. Lin Li's strategy was the same as the previous battle. He would first kill the ordinary Behemoths, and then focus on fighting the Golden Behemoth.
However, although there were no more Sanctuary-level Behemoths among the Behemoths, they were all thick-skinned, and not easy to deal with. Lin Li was not afraid of agile beasts such as the Tempest Beasts. As long as he seized the opportunity, he would be able to destroy them in one move. However, the Behemoth Beasts had thick skin and flesh, which gave Lin Li a headache. Powerful magic spells were often less than one-tenth of their usual effects, and he would have to put in 10 times the effort in order to kill them.
Lin Li rushed to the front of the two Behemoths and pointed the Helios' Scepter forward, after which two bolts of lightning that were as thick as buckets descended from the sky and blasted the heads of the two Behemoths. However, the two Behemoth Giant Beasts merely shook their heads, and they were only stunned by the attack. Moreover, the two Behemoths soon regained consciousness, and roared while waving their giant claws at Lin Li.
