"That's right, it's complete …"
"How could this be!" Ross Merlin almost jumped up.
Ross Merlin was currently cultivating the first section of the Elemental Tide, so how could he not know what kind of Meditation Law Set the Elemental Tide was? It wasn't an exaggeration to say that once the Elemental Tide was completed, it would have at least thirteen formulas. In all of Noscent, it would be one of the first-rate Meditation Law Sets. In Okland, it would be able to crush any force's Meditation Law Set, including the Cloud Tower, the Black Tower, Okland Magic School, and so on. No force's Meditation Law Set could reach thirteen formulas. That already surpassed Okland's level.
Even the Black Horn chamber of commerce, a first-rate force in Noscent, wouldn't have a Meditation Law Set with 13 formulas.
A Meditation Law of this level could simply be described as priceless. Any power that obtained it would treat it as a core secret and treasure it. Once it was leaked, it would even cause a war that would involve tens of millions of people and cause rivers of blood to flow. Even an expert of Joey's level would fight for it.
That's right, Ross Merlin already knew that this younger cousin of his was far from being as simple as he looked on the surface. Moreover, the more he interacted with him, the more he found out that this younger cousin could only be described as unfathomable. Ross felt a heavy pressure just standing in front of him, because he could never imagine what kind of shocking move he would make.
It was just like the previous battle …
At first, Ross Merlin never dreamed that this would be the result.
Two 9th Rank Phantom Archers had died, a 5th Rank High Mage had died, and Hanson Charlotte, who had transformed into a monster with the power of a Sword Saint and an Archmage, had also died. The one who had survived was actually his younger cousin. He had killed four terrifying existences far above him on his own.
Wealth, power, everything terrified Ross Merlin.
But …
No matter how terrifying it was, Ross Merlin did not believe that he could complete the Elemental Tide.
'This is too outrageous. Even a Heaven Rank powerhouse might not be able to complete a Meditation Law Set like the Elemental Tide. Cousin Mafa is only in his twenties, no matter how frightening and unfathomable he is, he shouldn't be more powerful than a Heaven Rank powerhouse, right?
"You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but … William, this is too … too … too …" Ross Merlin repeated "too" a few times, but he couldn't come up with anything.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me …" William Merlin smiled and stretched out his hand. A ball of flame appeared in his hand. "Do you know what this is?"
"This …" Ross Merlin looked at the ball of flames with some doubt. It was very strange. The flames weren't blazing, and they weren't shockingly hot. However, they were frighteningly pure. There wasn't a trace of impurity in them, as if they were completely condensed from fire magical elements.
As he thought of this, Ross Merlin probed, "Is this your Meditation Law Set?"
"That's right, this is the Crimson Heart, a Meditation Law Set with nine formulas …"
"Nine formulas!" Ross Merlin immediately understood when he heard this.
'No wonder William Merlin's progress has been so shocking. He was only a 5th Rank Great Mage back then, yet he has already reached the High Mage realm. Moreover, he isn't the slightest bit inferior to me in terms of fighting power, he even defeated me in a head-on battle.'
In the past few days, he had been thinking about what William Merlin had experienced in the past six months. How could he have made such shocking progress?
Now he understood, he understood.
It turned out that it was all because of this Crimson Heart.
A Meditation Law Set with nine formulas already surpassed all the Meditation Law Sets of the Merlin Family, it even surpassed the first section of the Elemental Tide.
The first section of the Elemental Tide only had eight formulas, but William Merlin's Crimson Heart actually had nine formulas …
As he thought of this, Ross Merlin was startled. "You are saying that your Crimson Heart was completed by Mafa … Cousin Mafa?"
"No …" William Merlin shook his head.
Just as Ross sighed in relief, thinking that he had guessed wrong, William Merlin added, "This Crimson Heart was taught to me by Cousin Mafa to improve my Magic Conducting Rune. As for the real Meditation Law Set I have to learn, it will be a thirteen-formula Meditation Law Set … Okay, okay, you don't need to look at me like that. You didn't hear wrong, this thirteen-formula Meditation Law Set was also taught to me by Cousin Mafa …"
"Heavens …" Ross Merlin held his breath.
"Now, do you understand what Cousin Mafa meant?"
"…"
"To tell you the truth, Ross, our Cousin Mafa is a hundred times more frightening than you can imagine. Have you heard of the Mercury Tower's Suyass? Okland's newly advanced Archmage doesn't even dare to speak loudly in front of our Cousin Mafa. Have you heard of Karon? The future master of the Mercury Tower is very polite in front of our Cousin Mafa. Go and ask, has Karon ever been polite when talking to Patriarch Ofran? Don't think that just because Thousand Sails City is a small place, there aren't any truly powerful people. Our Cousin Mafa is far more frightening than you can imagine … "
…
Ross Merlin and William Merlin had a long chat, and the night passed just like that. Early the next morning, Ross Merlin impatiently wanted to look for his cousin Mafa to help him complete the 2nd and 3rd section of the Elemental Tide. But just as he was about to knock on the door, he was pulled back by William Merlin.
"Did you forget what Cousin Mafa told you yesterday? He told you to take advantage of these few days to sort out the first section of the Elemental Tide, why are you in such a hurry? "
"But I …"
"Okay, no buts. I've been in Thousand Sails City for half a year, and I only learned one principle. Do you want to know what it is?"
"What is it?"
"This principle is that you should do whatever Cousin Mafa wants you to do, or you'll definitely regret it …"
"…"
Lin Yun left the Merlin Family Manor at noon, only taking William Merlin with him. Ross Merlin was left behind, mainly because Lin Yun wanted Ross Merlin to sort out the first section of the Elemental Tide.
Nothing could be done about it, because Lin Yun truly couldn't remember the complete Elemental Tide. Although he could find the Elemental Tide Meditation Law Set in the decaying library, to Lin Yun at the time, that thirteen-formula Meditation Law Set was of little value.
The greatest effect of the Elemental Tide was to expand the Mana Whirlpool. After reaching greater mastery, it could even expand the Mana Whirlpool over a hundred times. At that time, the mana it could hold would truly be boundless. If the Endless Spring was added, or even the advanced form of the Endless Spring, the Mana Sea, a mage would truly become a perpetual motion machine.
The problem was …
Lin Yun had been in an environment where Noscent was on the verge of destruction, and the mana between heaven and earth had already been thoroughly exhausted. What use was the hundred-fold Mana Whirlpool of the Elemental Tide? There was simply no place to absorb mana. Even if he meditated until he died, he might not be able to fill the hundred-fold Mana Whirlpool of the Elemental Tide.
Thus, Lin Yun couldn't directly teach the Elemental Tide to Ross like he taught William Merlin.
Lin Yun could only let Ross Merlin sort out the first section of the Meditation Law Set before completing it and deriving the 2nd and 3rd sections.
"Oh right, Cousin, didn't you say that the place that map leads to is very dangerous?" The two sat in the carriage, and William Merlin couldn't help but ask after a long time.
"Yes, very dangerous …" Lin Yun nodded and revealed a helpless smile. "But there's no other way, I have no choice but to go …"
"Ah?"
"It's time for me to choose a Meditation Law Set …" Lin Yun smiled and didn't say anything else.
Before, Lin Yun hadn't chosen a Meditation Law Set because his Magic Array was too special. But he couldn't wait any longer. Lin Yun's ten Magic Arrays had already fused into one, and if he didn't choose a Meditation Law Set for himself, there might be some hidden dangers in his future magic path.
In fact, this matter had already been on Lin Yun's agenda for a long time. Before leaving for Okland, he had already started choosing from the many Meditation Law Sets he knew.
Moreover, Lin Yun didn't choose an 11-formula Meditation Law Set, or even a 13-formula Meditation Law Set. Anything that could catch Lin Yun's eye had to have at least a 14-formula Meditation Law Set. This level of Meditation Law Set was at the peak of Noscent. Each set was broad and profound, and each set was so powerful. It was to the point that Lin Yun hadn't hardened his heart to make a decision after such a long time.
Until today …
Lin Yun heard about the existence of the Mana Sea and the Elemental Tide from Ross and Merlin. Lin Yun suddenly realized that he might have the opportunity to try something new.
No, no, not the Mana Sea and the Elemental Tide …
The Mana Sea, as a Magic Conducting Rune, couldn't compare to the Magic Array. Although the Elemental Tide was powerful, it only had 13 formulas.
But behind the Mana Sea and the Elemental Tide, there was a Heaven Rank powerhouse who left an illustrious name in history.
In the middle of the 3rd Dynasty, a Heaven Rank powerhouse whose might shook Noscent appeared in the Gaugass region. That person was called Jason Wagrein, the Gaugass King, the famous Prince Wagrein. He was Emperor Zhantui's lifelong friend and enemy. When that Gaugass King was young, he studied at Okland Magic School and was Emperor Zhantui's classmate. Later, he returned to Gaugass and declared independence, bringing thirty years of chaos to the Empire.
