[Third Update]
Salin decided to train here. He could see that there was a limit to how long the Shrine could maintain operation. Compared to the outside, time flowed a thousand times faster here. Once the passage to the Shrine was opened, the seeds in the passage immediately matured, even reaching a frightening level eight or nine. This showed how fast time flowed, and that was only in the passage. Time in the Shrine was too precious. If one didn't cherish it, they wouldn't encounter it again.
Salin meditated as soon as he sat down. He wanted to throw away all the irrelevant thoughts in his mind.
Shika waved her hand, signaling for the others to leave the temple. She sat behind Salin and began to cultivate her own Magical Beast War Soul.
There were four Great Halls. Myers clearly wanted to give the people who had helped her resurrect enough space to cultivate the power of her subordinates. This kind of divine spell that adjusted the flow of time could not resist the laws of the plane. These four Great Halls also had a lifespan. Once the divine spell started operating, it could not be stopped until the Great Hall collapsed.
Salin meditated very quickly. After getting rid of all the distracting thoughts, Salin took out his family badge and put it in front of him. If he trained in the laws of lightning, he should be able to obtain more complete mageweaths, incantations, and lightning runes.
But elemental magic was his foundation. He shouldn't bite off more than he could chew.
Thinking of this, Salin began to recall the twenty years of his life. From the first spell he learned, to the birth of the Magic String …
Salin threw himself wholeheartedly into training magic. He rarely slept. Even if he ate something or went to the bathroom, he didn't bother to ask about Sicar. If he couldn't break through to level ten, he would have to be protected by Sicar in the future. This made Salin very uncomfortable.
He should be the one protecting Sicar!
After an unknown amount of time, Salin's Magic String continued to grow. This time, the growth of the Magic String was silent and did not cause Salin any trouble.
Salin honed, calculated, and reorganized the laws he had come into contact with, turning them into his own unique ability. The Magic String also grew bit by bit according to the laws he had comprehended.
The pure water magic string was constantly changing colors. The balance of the six elements was gradually completed in Salin's body. The magic string was still transforming Salin's body. The body of a level-10 archmage was equivalent to that of a sacred swordsman.
Outside the main hall, only Nelis did not enter another temple. She could have advanced to rank 10 a long time ago, but she was waiting for Sarlin. Neris had transformed into a Golden Dragon and was sleeping soundly outside Salin's hall. After slumbering for who knew how many years, golden flames spewed from her nostrils as the Golden Colossal Dragon's body gradually perfected.
Luoluo Jialuo's ability made countless demons envious. It was this bloodline that didn't require cultivation, and could use other devouring powers to advance.
A hundred years passed. Suddenly, Salin stretched out a finger and drew magic runes in the air. Then, an icicle appeared in front of him.
No, an ice shuttle had appeared.
This Ice Shuttle was formed from pure water elemental energy, and it was covered with lightning mageweaths. The appearance of the lightning mageweaths made the Ice Shuttle free of impurities. The shape of the ice shuttle was slightly flat, and its length was close to one meter. Thunder and lightning magic patterns were contained within the ice shuttle in layers.
The ice shuttle slowly landed on the altar, and Salin could feel that he could once again control the icicle to attack at any time. This feeling was too wonderful, it was definitely not something a 9th Rank High Mage could understand. It was as if the Magic String no longer existed, and the ice shuttle condensed by magic was like a part of his body. The way he controlled it also changed dramatically.
No wonder he felt so powerless when he first saw Jouyi. The difference between a 9th Rank and a 10th Rank High Mage was like the difference between an ordinary person and an Official Mage.
Salin summoned a Desolate Puppet. The Desolate Puppet bent down to pick up the ice shuttle on the ground. After a few tries, it finally managed to lift the ice shuttle. The Desolate Puppet's tough arms were already riddled with cracks. If it wasn't for the power of the stars, the puppet's arms would have been broken long ago.
This ice shuttle was less than a meter long, but it was so heavy. After all, the Desolate Era Puppet could easily carry gold of the same size, and gold was one of the top ten heaviest metals in the Myers Continent.
Salin looked back and saw that Shika was still immersed in training. The altar was only a hundred meters in size, and the distance between them was only a few dozen meters. Salin didn't disturb Neris. He put away the Desolate Era Puppet and released Vinny, the leader of the Elemental Stone Soldiers.
Vinny bent down to lift the ice shuttle, but it seemed to be strenuous.
This was a level 10 elemental lifeform. Although it was only a core and didn't transform into a huge body, its power didn't decrease much. Salin immediately understood. He put away Vinny and let the ice shuttle stay there. Salin didn't pay attention to it. He wanted to know how long this ice shuttle could last.
With such a heavy ice shuttle, as long as it hit its target, it could kill most enemies with its weight.
Vinny could carry magic cannons weighing tens of thousands of kilograms in battle. With the weight of this ice shuttle, even a casual collision could destroy the city wall.
This ice shuttle was condensed by Salin using magic. It was a complete spell, but it couldn't be cast instantly. It had just been researched. The preparation time for the entire spell was equivalent to a complete large-scale spell.
Salin used about thirty minutes. If it was during a battle, of course, he wouldn't be able to create such a perfect thing. The enemy wouldn't give him thirty minutes to prepare either.
This ice shuttle was much more powerful than the icicle. If Salin could condense thousands of ice shuttles in an instant, he only needed to throw them from the sky to the ground. There was nothing that couldn't be destroyed, including a sturdy building like the magic tower.
Salin's Elemental Eye observed the surroundings. The building materials supporting the hall were already showing signs of weathering. The key materials, such as the illusions of the reliefs on the walls, were also falling off.
It's time to reforge my equipment! Salin knew that this hall wouldn't last for too long. He didn't know how much time had passed, but in this environment, the materials supporting the operation of the divine spell would be consumed at an alarming rate.
Salin stood up. The robe in his Star Pattern Set swelled up. He took out the magic array blueprint he got from the temple for the first time. On one side of the blueprint was a map, and on the other side were 24 magic arrays. When Salin was level 9, he couldn't detect the secret of this magic array. Even Joey, who was level 10, couldn't see through it.
However, after obtaining Astrology and advancing to level-10, Salin finally understood what these 24 Magic Arrays were.
The blueprint flew up and wrapped around the Star Pattern Robe, merging with it. Salin's Water Flame wrapped around his body, refining the Star Pattern Robe and the magic array together.
From now on, he didn't need to write any scrolls anymore. On the Star Pattern Robe, 24 Star Patterns appeared. Within the Star Patterns were 24 huge magic arrays. This magic array could store all spells below level-18. It was a powerful piece of equipment left behind by Myers.
Originally, Salin needed to be at least level 13 to use this equipment. Using the skills of an Astrologer, he placed the magic arrays within the 24 Star Patterns, sewed them together with the Star Gathering Needle, and refined them with Water Flame.
Salin spent another ten years refining this Star Pattern Robe. The floor of the hall was already full of potholes. Just as Salin was about to finish, he heard 24 Thunder Dragons awaken in his necklace. These Thunder Dragons roared and released a powerful electric current.
Electric currents flowed on the necklace and then spread throughout his body. Salin laughed heartily. Although he didn't know Neris's Lightning Protection, he could now use the effect of Lightning Protection. In the future, if there were any curse-type divine spells that wanted to plot against him, it would be difficult.
As long as his mind sensed it, this lightning could be released and instantly destroy the divine spell attack.
Salin took a deep breath and felt the Thunder Dragons' call in the necklace. These 24 Thunder Dragons' evolution speed was fast enough. In more than a hundred years, time inside the necklace was faster than outside. These Thunder Dragons finally evolved from level 8 to level 9, and could survive without water. Salin even felt a pair of short wings grow on the Thunder Dragons' bodies. This was a sign that they were about to advance to level 10.
Unfortunately, their talent was limited. If these Thunder Dragons couldn't devour higher level Thunder Dragons, it would be impossible for them to advance to level 10.
Unless … they had enough time. As long as these Thunder Dragons didn't die, they would naturally evolve to level 10 in thirty to fifty thousand years. Magical beasts basically didn't know how to cultivate. They completely relied on the power of their bloodline to grow.
Level 9 Thunder Dragons could fly, but their flying ability was very ordinary. However, Salin didn't intend to summon them. These Thunder Dragons could provide him with power. With the help of level 9 Thunder Dragons, and 24 of them at that, Salin's family badge would recover faster. Even if it was twice as fast, Salin would have a little more capital to save his life.
"Salin …"
Sid called softly behind him. Salin turned back and saw Sid rushing over with his staff, smashing down.
Sid's footwork was strange. Salin couldn't dodge at all. Even if he studied Carrie's movement skills, he couldn't escape. Sid had spent a hundred years without advancing. But when the staff smashed down, Salin still felt the aura of death even though he was exchanging battle skills with Salin.
Sid hadn't advanced, but his power had increased, and by a lot!
Salin subconsciously moved the ice shuttle on the ground to meet Sid's staff. Salin felt dizzy. The blood in his body froze. The staff and ice shuttle collided, and a loud sound was produced at close range.
How loud was that sound? At the top of the temple, the horizontal beams began to sway.
This sound had surpassed the concept of a normal loud sound. Even a level 10 mage like Salin felt dizzy.
The ice shuttle broke into six pieces with a loud bang and fell to the ground, smashing six holes on the altar. Sid's staff also slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Sid's hands were numb. She couldn't move. She looked at Salin in shock. She was very confident in her own power. She thought that after such a long time of cultivation, her attack power would be enough to deal with a level 10. She didn't expect Salin's ice shuttle to knock her weapon down.
