The mountain looked right in front of them. Rex and the others used Wind Speed, but it still took them ten hours to reach the foot of the mountain. Looking at the mountain now, it wasn't just a few hundred meters tall, but thousands of meters. Half of it pierced through the clouds, and the mountain stretched for hundreds of miles. The temple on it couldn't be seen clearly anymore.
"Nice move!" Salin exclaimed. This was actually using a narrow space to create a real big world. It looked like an hour's journey, but it actually took ten times the time. Only when they got closer did they realize how tall the mountain was. They could see the temple from afar, but they couldn't see it up close.
With such a space, all long-range spells, catapults, and even magic cannons were useless. You couldn't aim at all. Everything was an illusion. Even using magic tools to measure the distance would have a huge deviation.
However, the elements in this space were very rich, and it was easy to use magic strings. The elements were also arranged in an orderly manner. So, Salin was impressed by the Goddess' brilliant move. This wasn't a space formed by a magic array, but a brand new rule created by the Goddess.
Even though the journey was smooth, Rex still asked everyone to camp at the foot of the mountain and rest for a night before going up. There didn't seem to be any danger inside or outside of the shrine, but the shrine on the mountain peak should be the place where the Goddess kept the seed of the Tree of God. If there were any protective magic arrays or runic arrays of the God Race, other than communicating with Salin's divine power, he would need a certain amount of power to break them.
Divine beasts had a lifespan of ten thousand years, but it had been many years since the Goddess fell. Those divine beasts should have died together. What Rex didn't understand was how the divine beast on Salin's shoulder survived.
Salin wasn't tired. He sat at the foot of the mountain and looked up. The mountain was verdant and full of life, but he couldn't see any powerful magical beasts. His Icy Vision could see two to three miles away. Within this distance, there was no danger except insects and weak animals.
Bixi lay on Salin's shoulder. He didn't think much of the humans' cautiousness. There was nothing in the temple. Apart from himself, there was no powerful life in this space. These humans were so timid. Just go up and take the seed of the sacred tree. Why dilly-dally?
Mother asked him to guard the seed of the sacred tree. It wasn't that he didn't try his best. Let him take it. He would follow this mage and see what they would do with the seed.
Gesika had forcefully incubated the divine beast, making Bixi think that she was his mother. A divine beast didn't have the concept of a master. If not for Salin's aura, he would have found a chance to escape. He liked Sicca's aura too, but he was very vigilant towards Nelis.
In front of Salin, a ball of water flame floated in the air. Within the water flame, however, was the quiver that he had refined for Elena. As a Magician, Elena's archery skills were even more amazing than her magic. However, her archery skills could only be unleashed with the appropriate equipment. Before meeting Salin, Elena had only a body full of skills, but she could not unleash her strongest combat power at all.
If she was in the Elven Plane, she would have a variety of ways to deal with it using similar materials, but this was the Myers Continent's plane, and the products were very different from the Elven Plane.
Salin observed the arrangement of the elements in the space and slowly deduced how the Goddess folded space. It was impossible for him to copy it, but it was still useful to learn one in ten thousand. For example, the arrow box he made now could hold 360 Celestial Cherry Arrows.
This made up for Salin's team's lack of long-range attacks. The Celestial Cherry Arrows with the elven shortbow had a range that exceeded most level-six spells. Elena was a level-five mage. Attacks within 500 meters didn't consume much of her mental power. If a grain-sized divine crystal was inlaid on the elven shortbow, Elena's lack of mental power could be solved immediately. She could shoot accurately within a kilometer.
The distance between five hundred to fifty meters was within Salin's control. Within this range, Salin had an overwhelming advantage over mages of the same level in terms of both magic string and mental power.
Within 50 meters, Salin could use three people: Zola, Sue, and Nelis. Closer, four demons and a tamed demon. They were all good fighters, especially Triss. Although he didn't do much, Salin knew that Triss was stronger than Nelis. She just didn't have the room to grow like Nelis.
"Salin, I want a divine crystal." Shika approached from behind and sat down beside Salin.
"Hmm?" Salin was stunned. The divine crystal dug out from Ismail's brain had already been given to Nelis. The divine crystal from the goddess' statue was to be split equally between him and Rex.
Sicca smiled. "I told Rex that we can cut it from the top first. A standard size will do."
"That's good." Salin was afraid that Rex would be suspicious, so he didn't touch the large divine crystal. Rex had many mages under him, and he had to take care of the mages on Serrig Island. Although the divine crystal was huge and could be divided between two people, he didn't want to arouse suspicion.
It wasn't that Salin didn't want to split the divine crystal immediately. It was just that a divine crystal was ten thousand times harder than a magic core. Cutting a magic core was time-consuming work. It would probably take one or two years to cut such a large divine crystal. So Salin planned to let Rex do this when he got back to Metatlin City and had the appropriate alchemy equipment.
Sicca wanted a standard size divine crystal. Although it was troublesome, it could still be cut in one night.
Salin took out the huge divine crystal and patted the gourd at his waist. Green water spurted out. Salin grabbed a handful of black sand. This black sand was made from the sand of the Purgatory Desert. It could increase the power of the tornado by several times. This was what Salin had learned in the sandstorm. The black sand in the wind was like countless swords. No matter how strong one's defense was, it would be worn through after being repeatedly sharpened.
Similarly, this black sand would become harder after being refined. When mixed with the water, it would increase the cutting power of the water by several times.
This was because Salin's level wasn't high enough. If he was above level-7, he could make water elemental crystals form naturally in the water, and the sharpness would reach level-7 magic attacks. At that time, water cutting would be a truly powerful magic.
If Salin could become a level-9 Magic Shooter, he would be able to control this green water flow freely. Crystal drills could appear in the water flow at any time. Basically, any magic shield below level-9 would be instantly cut by his water flow. Even a level-9 magic shield wouldn't last long.
So from this point of view, Salin didn't lose out too much by not using the Divine Fusion to create the Water Puppet. This water flow's attack duration was extremely long, and it didn't consume magic strings. When it reached level-9, its attack power would be stronger than most level-9 spells. As long as Salin didn't encounter a Gold Sword Saint, he basically had the advantage.
The most fortunate thing about Salin was that the second Divine Fusion he had obtained was also formed from water elemental crystals. It could be used to create Water Puppets.
The water flow mixed with the black sand made a sharp sound of friction against the divine crystal, cutting out fine marks that were hard to see with the naked eye. Salin was multitasking. He controlled the water flow to cut the divine crystal while helping Eileen forge the arrow case.
Eileen watched from afar. Only then did she feel a sense of admiration. To be able to do these two things at the same time meant that Salin's mental strength had already reached the level of a Magic Shooter. No Great Mage could do this no matter what.
Salin rarely had a smooth day in his life, so he had trained his patience very well. As he cut the divine crystal, he forged the arrow case at the same time. He seemed very calm, without any signs of haste. It was as if he had done this countless times before. Salin didn't do this for no reason. As the foundation of battle magic, the second and second spells all had to be controlled. Salin's control had already reached the limit of an ordinary Mage. If he wanted to continue improving, he had to find another way.
Using two unrelated methods at the same time was the cultivation method that Salin had come up with.
To forge the arrow case, he had to constantly use water flames to create divine runes and magic arrays on the Celestial Cherry Wood. He also had to control the angle of the water flow to cut the divine crystal into a standard shape that could be embedded at will.
Whether it was a magic core or a divine crystal, a standard volume could only be cut into twenty-four sections. If there was a mistake in the size and angle of the cut, a large amount of energy would be wasted when using it. Therefore, cutting magic cores was a way for low-level Mages to earn money. Ordinary people couldn't do this at all.
The statue of the goddess in Lorgar City had been absorbing the power of faith from hundreds of thousands of powerful creatures. The divine crystal formed was incomparably pure. Therefore, a standard volume of divine crystal was enough for Sicar. Divine crystals were different from magic cores. It wasn't that the bigger the better, but the more standard the cut, the better the effect.
Salin gradually felt that his mental strength was increasing. The rate at which it was being consumed could not keep up with the rate at which it was increasing. Moreover, he had found a new way to control the elements. Salin secretly smiled. He released six tornadoes, which were mixed with the black sand he had refined, and surrounded his body in the middle.
What Eleanor saw from afar was that Salin was suddenly enveloped by a huge wind magic. This wind magic was originally translucent, but Salin's appearance couldn't be seen clearly at all. Streaks of black threads wrapped around Salin, cutting his image into pieces. His true appearance couldn't be seen at all.
