Chapter 4: Knowing the Kingdom of the Sea

It was a murky space, a vague void with no bounds, only a bay of clear, blue water precipitated in it, the sparkling light of the lake was the only color, slightly undulating, undercurrent, pregnant with the mystery and brilliance of magic.

The mind fluctuates with this unchanging dark color, immersing one in a cool and comfortable state, and one cannot help but have the subtle illusion that the soul gradually merges with the whole lake.

It's a picture that must be seen every day, and although Latis is not bored, he will not be surprised any more, and he will come here every time he enters a state of deep meditation, because this is the embodiment of his soul perspective of the sea, and the lake water represents the magic he has been accumulating.

The magic in the sea of consciousness is the source of power, when he meditates, the sea of magic will rise and fall under his will, running in a limited trajectory, so as to absorb the energy of the outside world into magic to slowly increase the total amount of magic, when he meditates shallowly, his consciousness is like a soul standing on the shore watching the ups and downs of the lake, and the state of deep meditation is like diving in the lake, more intimate and integrated with the lake, the speed of the transformation of magic in this state is the fastest, and the efficiency is more than ten times that of shallow meditation.

During the apprenticeship period, the efficiency of most people's shallow meditation is about the same, and the efficiency comparison of deep meditation depends entirely on the advantages and disadvantages of meditation methods, most meditation methods are difficult to reach more than five times, as for ten times the amount of magic power conversion, even in those magic families that have been circulating for a long time, it is an incredible effect, and this set of basic meditation methods used by Radis is only something that can be exchanged by the powerhouses in the Holy Mountain of the Fortress Realm with very low contribution points, and according to the different spiritual attributes of each person, there are hundreds of basic meditation methods with the same effect- They don't even have a nice name, but they are collectively called: the 247th Generation of the Holy Mountain Foundation Meditation Method.

Produced by the Holy Mountain, it must be a high-quality product!

This is the truth that Albert has made Radis understand in a subtle way for several years, and even Radis, who has been a human in two lifetimes, has to think deeply of it, and under his influence, he regards joining the Holy Mountain as the best way to improve his strength.

Of course, that was something that he could only think about when he could one day break through to the transcendent realm, and now he still had to find a way to be as strong as possible - he was born with the consciousness of his previous life, and he understood what his secrets meant to those high-level powerhouses, which filled him with a sense of crisis, and it was because of this that he could endure his boring and homework-heavy childhood in this life, and seize every minute of time to urgently pursue power.

Even when it is necessary to maintain a deep meditation without distractions, this mood is only condensed in the depths of the heart, and the slightest carelessness will jump out to destroy the best effect of meditation, for example, as it is today, except that today he did it on purpose - from the moment he entered the deep meditation, he did not hesitate to let go of his urgent and hot mood.

The lake of magical power, which had been soothing and peaceful, suddenly rolled up in a stormy wave, and the violent undercurrent enveloped his body, trapping his hands and feet like chains, pulling his consciousness towards the dark abyss······

The speed of sinking is getting faster and faster, and when the darkness around them swallows everything, a dazzling light pierces the chaos and nothingness, like a majestic flame burning out the darkness!

It seems that some kind of barrier has been broken, and suddenly the eyes are opened, and a vast and vast new world is revealed in the perception of Latis!

Falling from the verdant blue sky, the earth is ruled by endless mountains and wastelands, only the incomparably majestic stone monuments of the sky transcend the majestic peaks, point to the sky, penetrate the clouds, and connect the heavens and the earth;

Each stone tablet is engraved with all kinds of mystical characters, neatly arranged and combined, as if telling the supreme majesty and divine might, just a glance can shake the soul;

With the fall of consciousness, we can vaguely see that a very small part of these fonts exude a misty heterochromatic light, and the fragments of poetry are interspersed in the endless majestic pages, like clues left behind by ancient times, ambiguously attracting people who come here to explore their secrets and dig out ancient treasures.

Even if he has been to this great world more than once, even if he knows that it is actually hidden in his body, but every time he comes here, Latis can't help but marvel at its magic and magnificence, but fortunately, he knows the purpose of coming here, and after sighing slightly, he controls his soul that has been materialized in this world to fly to one of the stone tablets, and then crashes into the stone tablets like a small flying insect.

Yes, just crashed headlong into the stele.

The line of sight changed again, and the endless ice and snow world in front of him became in front of him, and the howling cold wind swept the sky and the earth with ice crystals, even if Latis's soul could not feel the temperature, he would not be hurt by everything that was conjured up by this stone tablet, but just looking at this desperate ice and snow world, his heart seemed to involuntarily emerge with a piercing chill.

It is impossible for any creature to survive in such a world, but as far as the eye can see, there is a majestic giant, only to see that he is burly, poorly dressed, his muscular upper body is exposed to the ice and snow, wearing only a belt but completely ignoring the ravages of the wind and snow and extreme cold, he holds an ancient square hammer in his hand with metal gloves, and walks slowly towards the majestic glacier, every step is like a mountain collapsing, and the majesty is overwhelming!

The first time he saw the giant, Radis muttered to himself, "Thor, the god of thunder?"

As soon as the indelible whisper fell, there was an earthquake-like tremor behind the glacier, and the giant covered in ice crystals like a mountain stepped over the iceberg like a tide, roaring and launching a savage charge against the giant god who wielded the hammer!

"I see, is it a mythical inscription depicting Thor guarding the eastern border and fighting the Frost Giants heroically?"

Seeing this, Latis already understood the allusion of this scene, and as he said what he thought, before these majestic giants fought together, the scene in front of him immediately dissipated and collapsed, his gaze changed, and Laces returned to the outside of the stone tablet.

Having completed this task with ease, he looked at a certain place on the stone tablet, where the originally obscure inscription characters lit up one after another, until dozens of them lit up in a row.

"I've done another one, but unfortunately, I still haven't found a way to bring your power back to the real world······"

Looking at the inscription that had just lit up, Latis shook his head slightly, his expression a little helpless.

This is the depths of his spiritual sea, the spiritual world opened up by the divine fire that made him pass through, in the process of exploring this world, Latis knew that each of these steles represents a mythological system that appeared on the earth in the previous life, and every time he came here, he had a chance to enter one of the steles, as long as he guessed the mythological allusion of the transfiguration scene as he did just now or until he saw the end of the illusion deduction, the inscription recording the allusion on the surface of the stele would be activated, exuding such light and power as now。

When he was born as a baby, his consciousness would come here every day, and those activated mythological inscriptions were the masterpieces of his four years, which was why he was able to sleep like a normal baby in those years - like watching an immersive magic movie, and in those boring days, it was the only pastime of Radius.

It's not in vain, except for the mythological inscriptions that still don't know the purpose, every time he observes these magnificent mythological scenes, his spiritual power will be enhanced and condensed, although it is very slight, but subtly, over time, his spiritual power strength has also been greatly improved beyond normal cultivation, which is also the reason why he can have such a strong spiritual power at the level of a mere intermediate apprentice - Albert said that his spiritual power strength has far exceeded that of a formal mage, but it is still lacking in the total amount.

This was one of the main reasons why he was able to complete those demanding spell trainings.

It wasn't until Latis, who began his magic practice and omitted the crucial step of opening up the spiritual sea, that the generation of the magic sea was completed extremely quickly, covering the entrance to the stone tablet world, that he slowly reduced the number of times he came here.

It took him a lot of time and energy to learn about magic, and he didn't enter it every day, and he didn't stay long every time he came, and he mainly experimented with himself after completing an inscription activation.

The activated inscriptions maintained some subtle connection with his consciousness, allowing him to clearly remember their location and allusions, and he could feel that these inscriptions contained subtle and powerful powers, so he had been exploring ways to use them, even if it was just a trace of them, the power displayed was definitely far beyond the limits of what he could do now - this was undoubtedly an excellent way to increase his own strength.

Unfortunately, he has not succeeded so far, and even the closest method still lacks certain unknown conditions, such as the present······

After making a proper selection, he came to a line of glowing inscriptions, and after he really got closer, every character seemed majestic and huge, shocking, but Latis, who had long been familiar with the road, didn't think much about it, and directly reached out and touched one of the words in this line of inscriptions, and closed his eyes at the same time.

"Soul Talent - Divine Text Interception, Activation!"

The translucent soul body lit up with a shimmer of light and fell on the characters, and the inscription did not change in the slightest, but a small inscription that was much smaller than it was touched, detached from it, and meekly climbed up Latisse's arm, surrounding him.

Every intelligent creature has its own unique qualifications in its soul, which are called soul talents.

Soul talent is high and low, there are thousands of types, the specific effect of the talent can affect the life of the owner, it is the mysterious power that every intelligent creature is born with, in addition to the bloodline talent from the depths of the body, but the bloodline talent is not everyone can have, even if there is, it needs to be gradually activated in the process of growth, not like the soul talent, as long as it can be easily obtained after the baptism of the newborn.

Latis's soul talent was opened by Helenway, the legendary peak mage of the Holy Mountain, but this did not affect the level of the talent, because the soul is the most mysterious and difficult to detect existence, even the most powerful and profound legendary mage has no way to artificially change a person's soul talent, in contrast, the bloodline talent can be changed, improved, and given by many means.

What kind of soul talent a person is born with, it will always be this kind of talent, at most it can be improved to a certain level to a small extent, but the main effect can never be changed, in a sense, the quality of the soul talent greatly affects a person's future and destiny.

The level of soul talent from high to low is divided into: S, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D, E+, E, F+, F, F-, plus talent represents a talent that can be closer to a level with the increase of soul strength, for example: F-level talent cannot be promoted, but F+-level talent may be promoted to E-level talent with the same effect but more powerful, in addition, there is a more special soul talent level: X-level.

X stands for the unknown, but also represents infinity, it is a talent that cannot be found and assessed by current means, this kind of talent is very special, and the rarity is enough to compare with the high-level talents above B, but because the effect cannot be measured, there will naturally be no way to develop and use them, so, such talents are often difficult to help individuals improve their strength, for most people, X-level talents that cannot be developed are equivalent to no talents, and they are not as useful as an F-level talent, but if the owner can find a way to develop them, the effect of X-level talents can often be compared to the top talents above A, it's just that there are very few examples in history of successfully developing X-class talents.

I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, it may be that the soul of the traverser is special, or it may be that his soul has been transformed by divine fire, in short, no matter what the reason is, Latis's soul talent belongs to the X-level that has no precedent and cannot be found to have a specific effect, fortunately, his talent still has a little effect.

After a long exploration of the stele world, he found a way to use this talent - his talent was able to intercept some of the power of some of the mythological inscriptions that had been activated, so that Latis could bring out his own spiritual world to manifest in reality.

This is also the source of confidence that he thinks he can develop a mythological inscription, after all, it can be brought to the outside world, and the next step is to find a way to use it.

Unfortunately, as an apprentice in magic, he never found a way to use these inscriptions, and he had even consulted his father Albert for advice, but his experience as a transcendent mage had only given him some useful advice, and all of the advice he gave had to wait until he became a full-fledged mage to experiment.

Ratis couldn't wait so long, and with a mentality of not admitting defeat, he began to study alchemy, hoping to find an opportunity to realize his ideas from the vast knowledge of alchemy.

This study lasted another two years, until today······

"Hopefully this experiment will be a success. ”

Looking at the golden mythological inscription in his hand, Latis muttered, no longer hesitated, his mind moved, and left his spiritual world······
