[Third Update]
In a month's time, Salin knew that he had no hope of advancing, so he simply began to forge the family crest. His soul power wrote magical inscriptions on the family crest, gradually resonating with the material of the family crest.
This was a stupid sacrificial method, but the secret technique clearly stated that his soul power could only be refined with the most powerful method if it advanced to the point where it could leave his body to kill. Right now, his soul was not strong enough. If it left his body, he would die.
As Salin slowly forged the crest, he finally unlocked all the information inside.
Salin saw the true form of the crest. It was a book, and on the book were lines of lightning magic incantations. All the incantations had to be driven by soul power.
If Salin's soul force was strong enough, he could restore the badge to its original form. However, it was a lightning magic book that Salin had yearned for even in his dreams. The creation of this magic book was beyond Salin's understanding. The magic book was large enough to contain a world.
This book was also made from the bones of a God. That God was none other than the Thunder God.
What kind of human could kill the Thunder God and forge his own equipment?
The crest his father had given him was stronger than any divine weapon he had ever seen!
Salin couldn't figure it out at the moment, so he decided not to think about it. After all, he had successfully forged the family crest. From then on, the power of the ball of lightning it released was many times stronger.
Most importantly, his Thunder Magic String had grown and reached a balance with the other six Magic Strings. From then on, the lightning icicles he released finally had the power of lightning.
This was the only lightning magic that Salin could release without consuming soul power. The lightning badge, or the lightning magic recorded in the Book of Lightning, consumed soul power.
Replenishing soul power was much more difficult than replenishing mind power. Ordinary magic cores or gems were no longer enough. Only divine crystals or godheads could replenish soul power. Otherwise, a mage would have to rely on meditation to recover.
Salin didn't find it too troublesome. His meditation was taught by Jason. Jason had long been able to use soul power. This meditation was created specifically for soul power.
This was a skill that belonged to Advanced Mages. Some Mages' meditation techniques were useless after Level-13.
This showed the importance of inheritance. Without a good inheritance, no matter how talented you were, without the corresponding skills, you would still be mediocre after reaching a certain level.
Salin only used about twelve days to refine the family crest. After the crest was refined, its shape didn't change. Salin knew that he needed to continue refining it in order for the crest to return to its original form of the Book of Thunder and Lightning.
Fortunately, the badge's current form was still usable. Salin stored the badge into the Thunder Dragon Bracelet, feeling very satisfied. Unknowingly, his Magic Strings began to grow rapidly.
After a thousand years of bitter cultivation, Salin had suddenly advanced to the next level because of refining the family crest.
The effects of a level-13 Magician's advancement were very eye-catching. The entire Temple of the Gods flickered with the radiance of lightning. The weaker Demons all fled back into Salin's Magic Amplification Device. Only the people around Salin were left in the room.
Within Salin's body, seven Magic Strings grew out. Electric currents flickered between the Magic Strings. They had all sorts of shapes, such as tree-shaped, sword-shaped, spherical, bubble-shaped, and a few bolts of lightning.
Salin silently chanted the incantation from the Book of Lightning. That was an advanced incantation used to stabilize the Magic Strings.
It was too unexpected. Just as Salin was about to despair, the Magic Strings suddenly began to advance. The six Divine Spark fragments from the Thunder Dragon Bracelet flew out and were slowly absorbed by Salin's Magic Strings.
That's right, Salin's talent wasn't enough. However, his encounters were too bizarre. This kind of Divine Spark fragment still contained the laws of the Water Elemental God and hadn't completely disappeared. If Salin's Water Elemental Body absorbed the complete Divine Spark, it would either explode or be assimilated by the Divine Spark and become a Water Elemental God.
Either way, it was enough to make Salin regret.
Now that the Divine Spark fragment had been used for a thousand years, only the power of laws was left. The rest of the energy was almost completely used up. The little bit of energy left wasn't enough to pose a threat to an advanced Mage who was in desperate need of energy.
After the six Divine Spark fragments were absorbed, Salin's Magic Strings practically covered the entire Palace of Gods. The Winged Skeleton hurriedly replaced Salin's Magic Core in the center of the Palace of Gods. When Salin was advancing, the energy he absorbed completely came from the huge building known as the Palace of Gods.
The Palace of Gods was made from the bones of gods. Salin's Magic Strings couldn't split it, but they could absorb the energy contained within. The Winged Skeleton was afraid that something would happen, so when it saw that the Magic Core was used up, it immediately replaced it with a Level-16 Magic Core.
Just like that, Salin's Magic Strings finally took shape after half a month. The seven Magic Strings retracted back into his body. Salin opened his eyes and laughed heartily.
His cultivation method was wrong. That was why he hadn't advanced for so long.
Advancing from Level-12 to Level-13 required a lot of energy as a backup. If he had absorbed the Divine Spark fragments earlier, he wouldn't have been stuck at this level. He should have been able to advance one or two hundred years earlier.
His aptitude wasn't good enough, and he still wanted to advance using normal methods. That was just wishful thinking.
Looking at the people around him who were all in high spirits, Salin asked Sicar, "How is it? What level are you now?"
Sicar shrugged. "I don't know. Being a Nature Priest is actually the end of the Caucasian profession. I don't know how the levels are divided. Anyway, you might not be able to defeat me."
"That's good. What about you two? "Salin looked at the two children.
The two children had grown up here. They were accompanied by their mother and demons, and there were even more Mages guiding them in magic. Salin was a little unfamiliar with them.
"Level-12, Father," Freddy said.
"Me too." Austin was a little shy.
Salin was puzzled. With the aptitude of the two children, breaking through to Level-13 wouldn't be a problem. Perhaps it was because they lacked training.
"Don't worry. Your mother has already told you. We have a kingdom on the Myers Continent, but …"
"Father, let's go back. We can help you." Freddy was very excited. She became a Magic Shooter at the age of 16, and her appearance was still very youthful.
"The enemy is an even more powerful God. Even Raphael is no match for him." Salin pointed at the Battle Angel.
"Father, your equipment can protect everyone from danger." Austin was obviously the same as Salin when he was young, being cautious first.
"I can't avoid these things. You have already entered the magic booster. There are so many people, and I have to manage them. I am also responsible for their future. Austin, if you are willing, I will give the position of King to you. "
Salin's son hurriedly shook his head and said, "Father, I don't want to be King. Magic training has already made my time very limited. I am afraid that I can't manage so many people."
"Freddy?"
Freddy seemed to want to give it a try, but when she saw her mother glaring at her, she could only shake her head and say, "I don't want to be Queen. I promised Mother that I would take care of the Caucasians. But don't worry, I won't be a priest. I will still be a Mage."
Freddy's expression was like Carrie's mask, it was like a flower. Although she was unwilling, she remembered her mother's words. If she became King, her father wouldn't let her be King. There was also an aunt called Rex. Hmph, she wouldn't be someone's subordinate. Thinking of this, a trace of pride appeared on her face.
Even if she didn't become King, the Caucasians would still be her, hehe.
Salin didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He glanced at Raphael. Raphael said, "It just so happens that I can't advance for a month. But after absorbing a lot of God's power, I can now reach the peak of level-13. I can also use the divine artifact normally.
Raphael used a thousand years and still couldn't advance to level-14. This was the sorrow of the Gods and Angels. It was very difficult to advance.
If it was a human like Salin, they would naturally advance by one level and then forcibly break through another level. Raphael's talent was so outstanding, but she still couldn't become a level-14 Battle Angel.
"Master, I am already level-12," the Winged Skeleton said. Salin wasn't surprised. If he had advanced earlier, the Winged Skeleton would have already become a level-13 Undead. It was him who was limiting the Winged Skeleton's advancement speed. The Winged Skeleton was at a disadvantage following its master.
The Winged Skeleton was expressionless, but it was feeling a little proud. Its Scythe of the Nether God was completely refined. Its advancement was completely up to Salin. As long as Salin could advance, it would be smooth sailing. If Salin didn't advance, unless it erased the soul contract between them, it would be stuck at Salin's rank.
The Winged Skeleton was very satisfied. Although the advancement speed was a little slower, it had a solid foundation. It used a thousand years to erase the Mark of the Nether God in the Scythe of the Nether God and obtained the Rule Power of the Nether God. If it rushed to advance, it wouldn't be able to obtain all of this.
"Alright, you guys should return to the magic booster." Salin glanced at his student Truman. Truman was at the peak of level-12 and could advance to level-13 at any time.
Unwillingly, Freddy pulled his brother along and entered his father's magic amplification device first. The Winged Skeleton was the last to enter. He said to Salin, "Master, about our advancement …"
"Neris will know. Don't hide it from her. She's not as petty as you think."
