Cain was not a good teacher. After giving Salin a level-12 Condensing Star Needle, he did not care about anything else. For a Mage, all knowledge could be forcibly memorized, but it could not be turned into an ability that could be used at any time.
After Salin's mental strength entered the Condensing Star Needle, he saw a narrow space with a limited number of nebulae. At the core, there was a black hole similar to his Condensing Star Needle.
Salin dove into the black hole with ease. The space inside was a little thin, but it was a level-12 equipment after all. Salin's mental strength was still firmly restricted in this space. Four huge transparent crystals were suspended in the space, and inside the crystals were still complicated and mysterious characters.
This time, Salin's mental strength could enter the crystals. Immediately, he felt a strong connection between the Condensing Star Needle and his soul. The characters in the first crystal were forcibly memorized. Salin did not even need to use any memory magic.
The level of memory magic was very low. For an Astrologer, there was no need to learn this skill from a Mage. They had their own ways to pass it down. Before Salin could understand, he only knew that this was a procedure to learn the Astrologer's language. He was interrupted by Cain.
"Salin, there is no need for you to continue learning. If you want to leave, I can send you out of the Abyss King's City now."
"That won't do!" Salin was very dissatisfied. "In this environment, learning astrology is the fastest. Also, one of my companions was lost outside the Abyss King's City. You are an Astrologer, help me see if he is in danger now. "
Cain had no choice but to leave the room, not knowing what to do. Soon, Cain returned and said to Salin, "Your companion's life is not in danger, but if you leave late, it's hard to say. I can send you to him. "
"How long can he last?" Salin was unmoved. Nelis had refined two Crimson Soul Towers, which were much stronger than Nicholas's Soul Pearl. Even if Nicholas's Soul Pearl was destroyed, he could still compensate Nicholas. However, learning astrology in this Astrology Tower would allow him to advance quickly.
The most important thing was that his magic skills were about to advance. The Magic Strings were restless. Within the Abyss King City, only near the Celestial Tower was the balance of the six major elements. The advancement had to be done in such a place. After leaving the Abyss Royal City, there were still many powerful Magical Beasts in the Frozen Sea, which was not suitable for him to advance.
The Elemental Magic Tower had to be refined in Metatlin City, and he couldn't advance in the Magic Tower either. Instead, this Astrology Tower was the best place for him to advance.
Cain was not angry. In the long river of fate, such a small matter would not cause him any confusion at all. On the contrary, Salin's intuition delighted him. This meant that his prediction was correct. This little king was indeed the one who wanted to save him. Salin wanted to learn astrology in the Astrology Tower. This wasn't a big deal, as Salin's astrology didn't even have a grade. Even if he cultivated to the tenth grade here, it wouldn't consume much energy.
"I need a quiet place." Salin looked straight at Cain.
Cain stroked his white beard and said, "Then follow me."
Cain led Salin out of the door. Outside the door was a corridor that could see the hall on the second floor. In front of them was a huge courtyard with starlight shining down. Cain asked Salin to stand in front of the railing and pushed with his hand. Salin was pushed out by an irresistible force. With a whoosh, he was sucked into the starlight on the roof of the Astrology Tower.
Cain clapped his hands and thought to himself, I'll let you play in the nebula for a day. At most, you can stay for a day. A level-eight Magician only has so little Spiritual Energy!
To an Astrologer, Spiritual Energy was even more important than that of a Magician. When a Magician's Spiritual Energy was low, they could still use their experience to cast low-level magic, which might not necessarily be weak. However, any skill of an Astrologer required Spiritual Energy to be in a stable state. Once Salin's Spiritual Energy was exhausted, he would be forcefully sent out of the core of the Astrology Tower — the outer nebula.
This nebula was connected to a starry sky. Most of the scenes were real, and a small part was a formation created by the Astrologer to refine the stars.
After Salin entered the starry sky, he took out the level-12 Star Condensation Needle and began to learn the Astrologer's words. The Astrologer's inheritance was not much different from that of a Magician's. The only difference was that the Magician's knowledge system was more complicated, but it was very clear. In contrast, the Astrologer's knowledge system was huge, but it was blurry and interrelated.
Salin saw a total of 128,000 Astrologer words. This was more and more complicated than magic words. Moreover, such complicated words did not have the precision of magic words when describing things.
Salin naturally memorized and understood the astrologer's words. Salin had never thought of such a powerful inheritance method.
However, Salin was not in the mood to study it. He simply withdrew his Spiritual Energy from the Star Condensation Needle and began to set up a magic formation in the surroundings. In the void, Salin used 36 level-10 Magic Cores to set up a simple three-dimensional magic formation, causing the six elements in the starry sky to frantically gather towards him.
Salin did not know that he felt that he had learned 128,000 words in an instant, but in reality, twelve hours had passed. For the Astrologer's inheritance method, this was fast enough. However, in such a powerful star formation, Salin's speed could only mean that his talent was not outstanding among the Astrologers.
This was because Salin's current Spiritual Energy was already stronger than a level-9 Magician's. Learning words should not have taken him so much time.
After the three-dimensional magic formation was set up, Salin began to break through to the ninth rank with all his strength. All the familiar laws flowed in his mind. All the past magic experiments, experience in creating scrolls, and battle scenes were also recalled in detail. Salin's Magic String rushed out of his body almost uncontrollably.
The Magic String frantically absorbed the six elements, expelling the impurities from the Magic String. Salin's Magic String was originally abnormally pure, so this process was very short. When an ordinary Magician cultivated to the eighth rank, there would be a terrifying amount of impurities in the Magic String. Therefore, when advancing to the ninth rank, most of the time was spent on tempering the Magic String.
Salin had a Water Elemental Body. Although advancing was more troublesome than other Magicians, the purity of the Magic String was something no Magician could compare to. Salin's magic formation could not withstand the power of the starlight. The starlight also rushed into Salin's Magic String, but it only purified Salin's Magic String.
In ancient times, Magicians would also ask Astrologers to do such things. However, Astrologers used their skills and consumed Soul Energy. Without a very good relationship, they would not help you at all. Usually, Magicians would have to pay a huge price for Astrologers to help.
But now, it was Salin's turn. With the Astrology Tower's strongest power purifying his Magic String, Salin's Magic String instantly grew as if there was no limit. The thirty-six level-ten Magic Cores showed signs of exhaustion very quickly. Salin was not absorbing the power of the Magic Cores. These Magic Cores were only used to build a magic formation. All the energy consumed was used to operate the magic formation.
However, this magic formation was operating too quickly. Even the level-ten Magic Cores could not withstand it. There had never been such a strange phenomenon when a Magician advanced to the ninth rank. Even the level-ten Magic Cores could not withstand the operation of the magic formation.
Salin clenched his teeth and took out thirty-six level-twelve Magic Cores, throwing them into the magic formation. Of the Magic Cores given to him by the Grandmaster, there were not many high level ones. The most he had were level-ten Magic Cores. There were less than a thousand level-twelve Magic Cores, and they were all cut up. A single Magic Core from an ancient giant magic beast could be cut into a few hundred standard units of Magic Core.
Salin still needed to use high level Magic Cores to operate the Ancient Desolate Battleship. Although the Mana Furnace did not need to be of the same level, high level Magic Cores could operate for a longer period of time. If the Mana Furnace suddenly stopped operating during a battle, it would be terrible.
Although Salin had many high level Magic Cores, he could not bear to use them carelessly. However, advancing to the ninth rank was too important to him. Even if he had to use higher level Magic Cores, he would not hesitate, even if it was a Dragon Crystal.
The situation immediately changed when the level-twelve Magic Core was thrown into the magic formation. Salin had only advanced to the ninth rank. No matter how strange his Magic String was, there was a limit to the amount of energy it could absorb. The six elements began to be steadily absorbed by Salin's Magic String. This time, the Magic String did not continue to expand. Instead, it became more tenacious. The original Magic String felt like liquid to Salin. Now, these Magic Strings were showing signs of solidifying.
Salin felt that only a few minutes had passed, but Cain was already getting impatient in the Astrology Tower. In reality, Salin had already been in outer space for more than three days. In outer space, Salin's life force was obvious. Clearly, he did not encounter any trouble. However, how could this Mage's mental strength be so strong?
Could it be that Salin was going to directly cultivate to the tenth rank? Although the power of outer space was huge, it still needed to support the entire Astrology Tower. The area within a radius of tens of miles was under the protection of outer space. The power that outer space could provide Cain was very limited.
Salin did not dare to take out his Star Condensation Needle. He only let the starlight continuously cleanse his newly formed Magic String. This newly formed Magic String was still a Water Element Magic String. However, its purity had reached a level that even Salin himself could not understand. Now, if he used Elemental Conversion to release magic, it would be very easy. There was also no need for him to consume too much energy during elemental conversion.
What made Salin most gratified was that his level-twelve Star Condensation Needle was also absorbing the power of the stars. The limited nebula space within it was already filled to the brim with the power of the stars.
This time, Salin's body had also entered outer space. The greatest benefit was that he gradually felt the state of his soul. The core of the soul in the body was in the brain. However, the entirety of the soul filled every corner of the body.
Only a tenth rank Mage could begin to understand the mysteries of the soul. However, now, Salin could feel that his mental strength came from the core of the soul and was slowly fusing with every corner of the soul. Mental strength, soul, and physical body, the three of them were one. The life force in his body was circulating, and the energy was starting to become reserved. It was no longer emitting outwards like before.
