Leylin lead Lancy towards a huge rune formation, Lancy looked at the marvellous carving radiating mystery and an undeniable beauty as a solemn and serious expression morphed on her face.
"I would be using the Magus Tower to start the formation, it wouldn't be at its highest proficiency for safety reasons but you have to use this chance to use your divination power and determine the most optimum time which could help me procure what I want and where could it be useful. I don't need you to pinpoint, just an average would be enough." Leylin spoke with a stoic face. He has already gather all the necessary components to breakthrough to Morning star Magus, only thing remaining is a bit concentration into the crystal phase as well as completely merge his bloodline. As of now, Leylin has evolved his bloodline to be much stronger than Kemoyin Serpent Bloodline, it could even be a level higher than Kemoyin Serpent Emperor bloodline but this isn't his final goal. Leylin wants to reach a higher bloodline, something which is his own. This could only be possible when he establishes a perfect foundation before reaching the state of point mass.
Leylin wants Lancy to only look for an adjacent time and approximate direction for his ultimate goal, he doesn't need to find a perfect coordinates because, it's absolutely impossible for her and out of her skill set. This evaluation is definitely taking nothing away from her but there is irrefutable difficulties and risk in doing this.
As long as Leylin has a direction to look in he could invest with his stock of Astral Stones, in addition to the terrifying calculations ability of the A. I. Chip to search for it himself.
Lancy nodded and walked to the heart of the giant interplanar spell formation next to the Astral stone. The blue lustre on its surface seemed more powerful.
Lancy took in a deep breath and signalled Leylin to start, who in turn checked everything once more. Only after ensuring was fine did he issue the command. "Tower genie, begin charging!"
[Confirming authority. Magus Tower preserving 10% of energy as base reserve. Remaining energy will be used on the spell formation.] The tower genie rapidly reported.
The Magus from outside presented a marvellous scene. The runes on the giant black Magus Tower dimmed one after the other. Besides a very dim glow, it had basically stopped operating.
No one was there to look at this, but a few Warlock could feel the disturbance.
Lancy felt unimaginable power being channeled into her body as a small portal with fiendish disposition opens. Lancy looks at Leylin deep in his ruby red eyes. She closes her eyes for a moment and opens them in a snap!
An erudite like aura disperses from her body as her body glows and her eyes turned completely white as if her eyes have rolled at the back of her head. Her teeths began to chatter and her body shaking, various runes and formation flashes in an instant.
Lancy begin to talk in a cold and unattached voice,"The Three Kings lured and trapped to their desire; in their hearts they know that maybe it's only a ball of fire. The greed, pain and suffering overrules their sanity and hence they take a step towards the fatality. The one who fools the children of darkness used not only deceit; but the time is at his feet. Knowledge is the word as the storm rage's and through that storm a new king destiny's awaits."
As soon as she stopped speaking, blood started to steam out of her body uncontrollably. She fainted on the spot with innumerable visible injuries. Leylin immediately came behind her and caught her falling figure.
Leylin started to pump her with life energy trying to treat her, 'Her conditions is very serious, the outer wounds would be resolved after some time but there is devastating damage done to her sea of consciousness. I can save her but this soul injury is outside my ability to save, at most I could seal it to make sure it doesn't fall apart killing her.'
Leylin couldn't help but sigh. Although he prioritise benefits he still have consideration and some emotions towards his well wishers and servant. Lancy has helped him big time on various occasion and he would definitely help her as this is what she deserves.
Leylin took Lancy and started to treat her immediately not sparing expensive and rare treasure to help her. After a while her conditions stabilize but she fell into coma. Leylin looked at the sleeping Lancy on the life supporting system and could only promise to help her later. Lancy should be able to wake up in around 20-30 Years depending on the self restoration of her injury but retaining the same rank as previously is impossible unless Leylin could do something about it.
Leylin commanded the Tower genie to keep her under observation as he retreated to his study room thinking of the prophecy.
"Her prophecy is definitely about the trap in which the three great elders of the clan falls and are lured away in the name of the Purgatory World. The Leader of the Jupiter's Lightning a Rank 5 Magus used tactics to lure them inside the trap. But the rules of the cosmic world aren't so easy to be bent at the will by a Radiant Moon Magi so this means there will be a disturbance in the cosmic field itself and the Radiant Moon Magus used this to camouflage the trap." Leylin thinks as his eyes began to glow with unmatched radiance. If this were to be true then that means he could use this chance to reach somewhere he couldn't have otherwise in his astral travel. The three elders aren't stupid which means that they should have research about the coordinates but due to lack of subsequent proff against the falsification of this, their greed and longing took over and they succumb to their desires.
The Leader of Jupiter's Lightning must have found some old ancient text about this phenomena and used this against them, this is the most logical outcome.
"So, it means that a hundred years from now, when the movement of Mentor Gilbert and other two elders become irregular this will mark the time for me to search for my destination too. This fits rather well with my option, ideally I would have preferred to breakthrough earlier but it isn't a trouble either way." Leylin decides in his mind as he subconsciously call for the A. I. Chip status.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 3 Warlock(Crystal Phase), Bloodline: The Seven Great Bloodline (fused 67%)and Giant Kemoyin Serpent (merged 51%). Nascent Knight. Strength: 49.9, Agility: 44.9, Vitality: 64.7, Spiritual force: 379.4, Magic power: 379 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).]
Leylin has hit a bottleneck in almost all of the aspects of his physical stats, he can feel that the moment he submits his reign into Morning star he would experience a meteoric rise in his strength. Leylin goal is to unify all of his three paths into one and progress into an earth shaking entity.
Leylin has been able to unify the seven seperate bloodline integrating them, and used it to merge with his Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline. The unification of the bloodline has been slow but progressive it could reach appropriate level after some time invested into stabilizing and slow consolidation of the bloodline but since the incidence in Beast World, his merging has stopped at 51% not moving a single inch. This is the bare minimum stability needed to maintain the integrity of his body.
This means that even at his current state Leylin could breakthrough the Morning Star Magus but his bloodline would be only as strong as at most a Rank 5 Warlock, judging from the response he got from a clash from Lamia. This was because his bloodline has yet to reach it's true potential. If somehow Leylin could match this and unified as well merge then his potential is limitless. This is the main reason Leylin is willing to take the bet to search for an answer.
What he need right now, is the knowledge of the soul. Not just soul force but legit understanding of the working and dynamic of the soul.
In terms of a Magus' progress, progress from ranks 1 to 3 relied on spiritual force. From 4 to 6, it would touch on the soul. The even more mysterious rank 7 required the grasping of some power of the world, or in other words— laws!
Leylin was now stuck in the understanding of the soul.
Kemoyin's Pupil only had four levels, and there was no elaboration on the later realms. Leylin could only grope around blindly.
However, soul force was hard to understand. Even the A.I. Chip now could not completely come up with the date of others. How could he conduct simulations and the like?
Even rank 5 or 6 Magi or Warlocks might not be able to fully understand the working of souls. In addition, while strengthening soul force, one can only rely on meditation techniques and long periods of time.
Leylin couldn't help but recall the mentioning that even Wing of the Sun, the top-grade mediation techniques sold in the Azure Mountain Auction didn't have the complexity of understanding this stage completely. Even this top-grade meditation technique's explanation about souls was not clear. The author had often marked speculation and guesses. That meant that even a terrifying rank 6 being like the Sun's Child did not have enough understanding of the soul, and only depended on the characteristics of its race to gain power.
Compared to Magi, Warlocks use the power of their bloodlines to strengthen the soul. Most of the time, nobody understands how it works. Meditation techniques mostly teach how to activate the power of the bloodline, which is why their knowledge on souls is even lesser than that of Magi! Maybe that's one of the reasons why, amongst bloodline Warlocks, there haven't been the appearance of any rank 6 thrones.
Although Leylin got his hands on many other high-grade meditation techniques, he wasn't able to truly grasp the concept so much so that he could take the next step.
Leylin touched his chin, beginning to make conjectures.
"It would have been ideal to purchase large quantities of renowned works on souls by Magi and Warlocks, and to obtain level 5 or 6 high-grade meditation techniques but I simply don't have the qualifications to do this being a mere Rank 3 Magus. I can only turn to the endless possibilities of the Cosmic world. This gap could help me completely unify the seven bloodline perhaps I could even further fortify my strength, the radiation from the Lamia Fingerbone could be beneficial overall. The wait is worth the while. I should stay in the Magus Tower there isn't anything good enough for me to care about so, I should use this time in my favour." Leylin sat down contemplating about his next move.
Afterwards Leylin holed himself inside the Magus Tower after its completion and ceremony.
This was because the elemental particle concentration here far surpassed that of the outside, allowing his spiritual force to grow much. He could use the radiation from Lamia Fingerbone and use of Bloodline treasures to help further his progress. Furthermore, there were many high-level experiments that could only be done in the Magus Tower. Many of his previous theories could finally be put to the test.
More importantly, the Magus Tower could block out the probing of high-ranked Magi, turning into an elusive location which could hide Leylin's many secrets.
With those factors coming into play, it was natural that Leylin almost never left the tower, and had neglected both sleep and food to focus on his meditation practice and research.
Many top-notch results had been actualised with the A.I Chip's assistance, which had increased Leylin's own knowledge reserves.
Even though Leylin had the A.I Chip, he had previously collected many books from the south coast and Twilight Zone; the books were so plentiful that all the space was practically filled up. Now, they would have to tidy the books up and sort them out according to their different genres.
Other than that, the central continent was vast as well. Its accumulated knowledge was even more shocking. Leylin had always been actively purchasing books related to magic and a steady flow of such books were sent to the Magus Tower, which further enriched his collection.
Leylin's biggest gains were what his subordinates appropriated from the Blood Vultures. However, they had also found large amounts of miscellaneous data in the laboratory.
Due to the information not being divulged and looted by others the core information and the receptor model were complete, the data could be very beneficial.
Leylin's deductive ability was very strong to begin with, and the with combination of support from the A.I. Chip. He had instantly realised the connections between the data and the experimental information.
After several interactions and hypothesis, he had further improved the core data.
With his research, he gradually deciphered the experiments that were conducted in the gigantic laboratory.
Studies on transferring and combining bloodlines!
Quicksand was undoubtedly an alliance of various Warlock organisations, and their research on bloodlines had never ceased.
Their experimental data was actually more in-depth and concrete than the research of the Ouroboros Clan, which had allowed Leylin to reach a whole new level.
If Leylin finished analysing the experimental results and add them into his own A.I Chip's system, his research in bloodlines would advance to an unimaginable stage, even to the extent that he can directly extract genes from rank 1 and 2 bloodline creatures and assemble them into an ancient bloodline!'
Bloodline shackles were the greatest pains to a Warlock. Those that had advanced to the peak of what their bloodlines would allow and reached a dead-end would normally choose to turn their attention to research on bloodline modulation and combination.
That was also the main direction of the research of the Ouroboros Clan.
While the three elders were looking for the Purgatory World, they were also trying to manufacture an even stronger bloodline by building upon the foundations of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent's bloodline, and from there onwards, break their own bloodline shackles.
Of course, until now, the experiments had made no progress to speak of, not to mention any hopes for success.
In this area, the ancient Warlocks have greatly surpassed them and this data helped Leylin very much, this is one of the main reason for him to come here as well. The high class information about bloodline merging and transferring is the most fundamental data that could prove drastically beneficial for his future path.
Leylin has gained various high class information about the bloodline courtesy of the Beast World but his understanding was almost negligible. But with the data from Quicksand Warlock Organization acting as his bridge he was able to decipher many theories and experiments.
Slowly Leylin's life sank into complete serenity.
Everyday, other than meditating at fixed times and using the Lamia fingerbone's radiation to mature his own bloodline, he was cooped up in the laboratory. He had already completely recovered the information on bloodline combinations. Besides that, he would patrol his territory, keep an eye on Lancy conditions and spend some time directing his subordinates.
Such peaceful days were hard to come by. With the passage of time, his strength was slowly increasing, and was something worthy of rejoicing over.
Before anyone knew it, Leylin's authority had been firmly set in place in his territory. The gigantic Mahakaal Castle towered on this piece of land, becoming the nucleus of power in this world. With the years rolling by, it left its mark on history.
Apart from being indestructible, the castle now had some history to it, which was something only the castles of true nobility could accumulate.
The only constant was the huge Magus Tower nearby, its everlasting glow seemingly eternal....
...
Nearly a hundred years had passed since the prophecy made by Lancy after coming from the Forgotten Land.
Such a long period of time was enough for commoner families to have passed between four to five generations, yet all this did for Leylin was make him look more mature. Given his life expectancy as a high-ranked Warlock, he could be said to still be in his teens.
In this last century, Leylin had maintained a low-profile lifestyle, immersing himself in research and drawing links between his own knowledge base and that of the central continent. He had even reached the boundary in multiple areas.
The A.I. Chip's data had also been updated several times.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 3 Warlock(Crystal Phase), Bloodline: The Seven Bloodline (fused 87%)and Giant Kemoyin Serpent (merged 63%). Nascent Knight. Strength: 50.1, Agility: 45.1, Vitality: 66.1, Spiritual force: 393.2, Magic power: 393 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).]]
Through the Lamia fingerbone's maturation of his bloodline, along with the bloodline merging information from the Quicksand Organization, Leylin's fusion and merging has increased day by day, his spiritual power has also taken a leap up to the point where he reached the peak of crystal phase.
There were, even more, merits to the maturation of his bloodline. His strength and agility, which had stagnated for a long time, experienced a small growth, while his vitality increased as well.
Leylin could feel that his powers are at a threshold and this was probably his current limit of his body. He cannot step forth because it's almost the limit of what he can achieve. Only with the progress into next level will it show the ture effect.
Leylin clenched his fists, feeling the surge of strength within. 'Just the radiation from the Lamia fingerbone could bring about so many benefits. Now, finally the time has come, I have already reached a pretty satisfactory position and limit but if I don't give my all to surpass even this then, I would never be able to forgive myself. Come victory or defeat I would use this opportunity, if I succeed then it's great, if not then I would just breakthrough as it is. I already have reached the position where I won't be regretful.'
