It only took the two teams half a day to arrive at the center of the ice island, at the edge of the huge and bottomless crypt. Just like the previous time, the mages on Lin Li's side all took out their magic wings. However, this time, Lin Li did not ignore the Illuminati's team, and gave Saint Edmund a batch of magic wings.
With this batch of magic wings, the Illuminati's team was no longer as disheveled as before when they were descending into the crypt. However, even so, it still took the two teams a few days to land on the ground from above. After all, the depth of the crypt was obvious. Even if they were to freefall, it would take a considerable amount of time to reach the bottom. Besides, they had to deliberately control the speed of their descent.
The first thing the two teams saw was the magnificent palace that seemed to be in the middle of the sun. However, this time, without the obstruction of the Light-winged Angels, the light was just a little dazzling. After entering the palace, teams of Abyssal Demons began to appear again. It was unknown if there was something in the palace that could summon demons from the Endless Abyss.
However, no matter what kind of Abyssal Demon it was, it would not pose any obstacle to the two teams. The two teams crushed their way through, leaving behind the demon's flesh and blood, which quietly integrated into the palace. As for the magic gears and traps in the palace, Angelano had already opened up a path for them previously. Hence, it would not affect the speed of the team's advancement.
The two teams arrived at the underground palace in the depths of the palace. Then, they arrived at the cracked pontoon bridge that was once guarded by the Titan Giants. Then, they passed through the ancient city ruins of an unknown era and finally entered the desert that was filled with light.
At this point, the speed of the two teams finally slowed down. Under the instructions of Lin Li and Saint Edmund, they entered a state of alert, and continued to move deeper into the desert. They were very clear that even if they came to explore once, they would not be able to get rid of all the magical beasts here. Even in the palace, there seemed to be endless Abyssal Demons, let alone the Desert of Light that had not been fully explored.
Indeed, as the two teams went deeper, the first thing they saw was the appearance of the Desert Scorpions. The Desert Scorpions usually hid under the desert, and the mana waves on their bodies were restrained. When prey passed by, they would break out of the sand at lightning speed and give the prey a fatal blow.
Perhaps because the incarnation of the Serpent of Light that once occupied this desert was no longer there, the number of Desert Scorpions alone was more than 10 times that of the previous time. If they thought that they would not be wary after exploring once, they would probably have to pay a huge price this time.
Fortunately, they were only at the level of the Desert Scorpion, and terrifying creatures like the incarnation of the Serpent of Light never appeared again. Saint Edmund and Zumar only knew that the incarnation of the Serpent of Serpents was a Sanctuary-realm magical beast in the desert.
Lin Li naturally knew that the incarnation of the Twin Serpents of Light and Darkness was used by the true gods to stabilize the Divine Kingdom. It was even rarer than the ancient magical beasts and mutants in this world. The previous incarnation of the Serpent of Light and Darkness had survived the Power of Light emitted by the Ancient God of Light. How could there be a second one?
The two teams killed the desert magical beasts along the way, and finally arrived in front of the seven steepled monuments. The Ancient God of Light, who was suppressed by the seven steepled shells, seemed to have sensed the arrival of the crowd, and became restless again. However, this time, Edmund had already taken precautions, and there were no more people like High Priest Poer.
Seeing that the Ancient God of Light was going to stir up trouble again, Lin Li immediately made a few magic gestures secretly, and the seven monuments immediately burst into a dazzling light again. Next, the light condensed into whips that lashed at the light in the middle of the seven monuments. Although they could not hear anything, they could guess that it was definitely painful to be whipped by the whips of light just by looking at the constant twitching of the light.
The members of the Illuminati who came with Edmund were all the core members of the Chaos Sanctuary, and seemed to have received some kind of warning beforehand. Hence, when they saw that the Ancient God of Light that the Illuminati believed in was actually suppressed and beaten up, they did not show any other expressions even though they were a little surprised.
This time, their purpose was not to deal with the Ancient God of Light, so the two teams did not stay there for long. After leaving the seven monuments, the team continued deeper into the desert and arrived at the temple where the first Holy Lord Aquilo resided with ease.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk and the team of the Illuminati were left outside the temple to be on guard. Their experience on the way here had already let them know that this place was still full of uncertainty and danger even though it was their second time here. Saint Edmund did not want any accidents to happen due to carelessness at such a critical moment when Lin Li was setting up the mageweath.
Lin Li walked into the dilapidated temple alone, and arrived at the center of the temple where Aquilo was. At this moment, Aquilo had not changed much from the last time they left. After all, only a few days had passed. On Aquilo's body, the holy relic of the Illuminati, the Eye of Light, was emitting a faint light that washed Aquilo's body layer by layer with the Power of Light.
It could be seen that although the power of the Eye of Light was continuously repairing Aquilo's body, the speed was very slow. At this rate of recovery, Aquilo's body would not be able to recover in less than a hundred years. It would take an even longer time for him to wake up and regain his ability to move normally.
Lin Li observed the surrounding environment, and then waved his hand forward. Immediately, small tornadoes that were the height of a person appeared in the space. These small tornadoes circled around Aquilo's body continuously, and in the blink of an eye, all the debris on the ground was cleared.
Moreover, these small tornadoes not only cleared the debris on the ground, but also polished the entire ground. Apart from the place where Aquilo was sitting, the surrounding ground was as smooth and clean as a mirror.
After all, this time, Lin Li would be drawing a mageweath that was close to the level of a Divine Smith. Even with his current attainments in inscription, it was impossible for him to be as casual as drawing a beginner mageweath. Hence, first of all, he needed a flat surface that would not affect the drawing of the mageweath.
After the small tornadoes dissipated, Lin Li took out the inscription materials prepared by the Illuminati. Although these materials had been processed, he still needed to mix them further in order to use them in drawing the mageweath. Just like mixing colors in painting, drawing a mageweath also required the consideration of every magic circuit and every symbol of the mageweath to play a role in the mageweath. Based on this, he had to calculate the properties of the materials needed.
Of course, after getting a feel for the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, Lin Li already had an idea of how to mix the materials, and did not need to spend too much time calculating. After sorting the materials, he immediately began to prepare the special ink for drawing the mageweath.
The foundation of the special ink was naturally the Sanctuary-level ink of the Octopus Clan. There was probably no better natural ink in the entire Anril. The two bottles of ink were divided into 24 portions by Lin Li, and each portion had to be specially mixed. If Lin Li was a Divine-Smith-level inscriber, he naturally wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Even the most ordinary ink could be turned into a suitable ink according to his will. However, if Lin Li wanted to draw a mageweath that was close to the realm of a Divine Smith, he would have to use such a cumbersome method.
After dividing the ink, Lin Li immediately began to quickly prepare the ink, and various materials were added to the Octopus Clan's ink in various doses. Along with his movements, the ink gradually began to emit unique magical waves, as well as magical lights of various colors.
It took Lin Li more than an hour to finally mix the 24 portions of ink. Of course, this speed could be said to be godly for ordinary inscriptionists. The preparation of inscription ink was similar to the preparation of potions. The materials of various attributes had to be mixed together, and the technique, timing, and so on had to be extremely careful. When Lin Li was mixing it, he didn't seem to look at it at all, and simply poured the ink and shook it. He was even more agile than making cocktails.
After all the ink was prepared, Lin Li also began to draw the mageweath. He gently dipped the crystal inscription pen in a portion of ink, and the gorgeous red liquid was immediately sucked into the cavity of the pen. Next, Lin Li's figure surrounded Aquilo, and continuously flickered into a phantom. On the ground around where Aquilo was sitting, the smooth and flat ground gradually began to emit rays of magical patterns and symbols.
Strictly speaking, the mageweath that Lin Li was going to set up now could already be considered a demigod-level mageweath, and some of it had already left the Guru-level. However, it had yet to truly reach the level of a Divine Smith. However, the complexity of this mageweath was much higher than that of a Divine Smith mageweath.
After all, Lin Li was not a real Divine Smith yet. If he wanted to use his Guru-level knowledge of inscription to explain the Laws of a Divine Smith, he would need a lot of Guru-level knowledge, even if it was an extremely insignificant Law of the Divine Smith level. This was the difference between the Guru-level and the Divine Smith level. It was equivalent to using a large amount of quantitative change to explain a qualitative change, just like how water vapor could only condense into a drop of water.
What Lin Li was drawing was no longer just a simple mageweath. He was using a large amount of inscription knowledge to analyze the Laws of the Divine Smith's domain. If a certain level of Inscription Guru were to come over, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of very rare inscription experience from this mageweath.
As Lin Li drew, a large and complicated mageweath gradually appeared on the ground from the outside to the inside. It was a mageweath array that was composed of 24 mageweaths. However, unlike the All-Kill Array of the Tower of Dusk, the 24 mageweaths were not the same type of mageweath. Instead, they were completely different.
Drawing a mageweath array was not a simple matter of drawing a few dozen mageweaths. Even if one drew hundreds of mageweaths, they would only be hundreds of mageweaths. Mageweath arrays were formed using mageweaths, and one had to consider the effects of the mageweaths and the connections between them.
Hence, there were very few inscribers in Anril, and even fewer Masters of Inscription. There were even fewer Masters of Inscription who could draw mageweath arrays. Back when the Tower of Dusk had just been established, Moke, the inscriber of the Supreme Council, was shocked by Lin Li's All-Kill Array when he was drawing mageweaths for the Tower of Dusk. The All-Kill Array was just a very simple mageweath array.
Mageweath arrays were rare because the difficulty of drawing them was too high. Drawing the first mageweath was naturally just an ordinary mageweath. However, when drawing the second mageweath, one had to consider the impact on the first mageweath. When drawing the third mageweath, one had to consider the impact on the first two mageweaths. It could be said that with every additional mageweath in the mageweath array, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
The All-Kill Array of the Tower of Dusk was only a mageweath array formed by 10 mageweaths, but it had already left Moke, the inscriber of the Supreme Council, speechless. Now, Lin Li was going to draw a mageweath array formed by 24 mageweaths, and the difficulty was already beyond the level of mortals.
Even Lin Li, who was at the peak of the Guru-level, couldn't help but slow down after drawing 10 mageweaths. Compared to the All-Kill Array, the mageweath array that he was drawing now not only had a much larger number of mageweaths, but the level of each mageweath was also far beyond that of the All-Kill Array. After all, what he wanted to do was to surpass his mortal level and touch the high and mighty Divine Smith level. He also wanted to steal the power of the gods from the Divine Smith level.
At this moment, outside the dilapidated temple, Edmund and Zumar also felt a little uneasy at this critical juncture even though they were already Sanctuary powerhouses. If not for the fact that they were worried about disturbing Lin Li, Edmund and Zumar would have rushed into the temple immediately to watch Lin Li complete the mageweath with their own eyes.
As time passed, some strange phenomena gradually appeared in this space, and the magical elements became more active. A large amount of light elements surged towards the temple. In the beginning, the flow of light elements was still relatively slow, like a light breeze caressing one's face. However, gradually, the surging of the light elements seemed to have changed from a gentle breeze to a gentle breeze, and then from a gentle breeze to a gentle breeze. The speed at which they surged from all directions became faster and faster.
