I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

In this space filled with Wind Element Magic Power, time seemed to slow down, and the mind became tranquil and clear.

This is the temple of the Wind Element, the source of Wind Power, and also the holy land in the heart of all who seek the mysteries of the Wind Element. Standing here, Oriolan seemed to be able to hear the whispers of the wind, feel the embrace of the wind, and enter into an indescribable harmony and resonance with the Wind Element.

This is the Floating City!

Oriolan sighed inwardly, but his attention was quickly drawn to another presence.

Following the somewhat peculiar fluctuation, Oriolan discovered that in the very center of the high tower, a young girl was sitting quietly there, her eyes closed as if isolated from the world, wholly absorbed in meditation.

Extremely powerful magic power surrounded her like a tide, forming an invisible vortex of magic power around her.

This vortex of magic power was so dense that it seemed to be almost tangible, surging and raging in the air, constantly drawing the Wind Element Magic Power from the high tower to converge.

And the girl was like a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring this powerful magic power, transforming it into strength within her body.

What surprised Oriolan was that he sensed the aura of a Legendary Rank from the girl.

Without a doubt, the young girl before him was also a legend, and undoubtedly a Legendary Mage.

How could there be a second legend appearing in Kane Floating City?

Oriolan looked at Lis beside him and couldn't help but fall into silence.

The more Oriolan learned about Kane Floating City, the more he couldn't see through Lis standing before him.

In fact, before coming to see Lis, Oriolan had prepared thoroughly.

He had researched Lis's past experiences, and just from the information known to the outside world, one could discern a lot of things.

For example, Lis's identity as the World Tree Favored.

This information was quite special for the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

After all, from any perspective, this seemed to be an identity more intimate with the Church of the Gods, yet it appeared on an Arcanist.

This was quite astonishing, and it made the Pan-Continent Mage Association even more cautious when facing Lis.

For the association rooted in Gaia World, although there was no undue reverence for those All Gods, there were always some special existences.

Such as the World Tree Yggdrasil, representing Gaia World.

Even the legendary beings of the Pan-Continent Mage Association were full of respect for the World Tree.

The respect was not for powerful strength, but for Gaia World's embodiment of the rules, the knowledge it represented.

Besides this, Oriolan also knew that the mysterious presence who defeated [Storm Fury] Andrew was Lis.

With such a record, even though Lis hadn't been a legend for long, Oriolan couldn't underestimate him.

Not to mention that a while ago, Lis had just captured the [Magic Machinery Master] Steven Kruger, who came to stir up trouble in Kane Floating City.

Capturing a legend alive is far more impressive than defeating or killing one.

Even if the Floating City might have aided, it was an extremely formidable achievement.

This astonished many legends who were watching coldly; at least, no legend would dare to challenge Lis again for a short time.

Even with Oriolan's current strength, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Originally, Oriolan thought he had already appraised Lis pretty highly, but now a new unexpected factor appeared before him.

"Who is this..."

A moment later, Oriolan looked at Lis and softly asked:

"This is Risa Kane, another disciple of teacher [Judgement Flame]. She just recently broke through to legend and still needs to stabilize her status,"

Lis said with a smile.

Faced with this answer, Oriolan fell silent.

There was a lot of information in that sentence that he needed to digest properly.

[Judgement Flame]'s other disciple?

Besides Lis, that esteemed councilman had another disciple who had already become a legend?

This had to astonish Oriolan.

Even with the guidance of a legendary existence, becoming a legend is a very arduous task.

In fact, most legends achieve legendary status without the guidance of a legendary presence.

Or rather, whether one becomes a legend, the guidance of a legendary presence is more like an added bonus while the key lies in one's talent and circumstances.

So no matter the situation, for a disciple of a legend to become a legend and stand on equal footing, it's something legends are quite proud of.

Especially for the mage professionals who prioritize talent.

Now, both disciples of [Judgement Flame] have become legends, and this news indeed surprised Oriolan.

No wonder they are the esteemed councilman~

Aside from shock, Oriolan noticed another matter: the name of the girl in front.

Risa Kane?

Lis Kane?

Kane Floating City?

Oriolan didn't believe the same surname was mere coincidence, nor did he believe Lis would deliberately lie to deceive him because there's simply no point; it would be too easy to expose.

He suddenly understood why Lis would personally take him on a tour of the Floating City and bring him to this Element Tower.

This guy must have had a plan in mind!

Having experienced Lis's wisdom in the previous negotiation, Oriolan couldn't help but overthink.

"Before coming, I heard Steven came to trouble you, Lis?"

Oriolan looked at Lis for a moment, then asked.

[Magic Machinery Master] Steven Kruger previously went to the Pan-Continent Mage Association, but for the association, Steven's skills were not of much value, as every legendary mage more or less had researched the creation of extraordinary equipment and items.

It was virtually impossible to fulfill Steven's demands for accessing more Floating City resources.

However, this also made Oriolan and others very clear about Steven's presence.

"Of course...not."

Lis's smile remained unchanged as he smiled and answered:

"Steven reached out for 'friendly communication' with me; he has now chosen to join Kane Floating City."

"Oriolan, are you familiar with Steven? He's in the Floating City's Magic Workshop now; do you want to meet him later?"

Oriolan didn't respond; once again, Lis's answer sunk him into silence.

If what Lis said was true, then Kane Floating City now had three legends!

The Star Ring had only three legends as well, though their individual strengths might surpass Lis, Risa, and Steven, one shouldn't ignore that Lis controls Kane Floating City, backed by the peak legend [Judgement Flame].

Moreover, based on the intelligence Oriolan gathered, within the Feis Kingdom where Kane Floating City is located, several legends seem to have quite close relationships with Lis.

Even though these aren't legendary mages, they can't be dismissed by Oriolan.

Suddenly, Oriolan realized that the power Lis wielded far exceeded his imagination, and his mindset, originally holding a slight psychological advantage, became somewhat unbalanced.

Yet Oriolan quickly adjusted.

The stronger Lis and Kane Floating City became, the more beneficial it would be for the Star Ring in their cooperation.

With such strong allies, there would at least be a possibility for the Star Ring to continue developing in the short term.

Oriolan could only comfort himself this way.

He already had a vague premonition that in the future, another top school might arise within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

As for whether this would be the Star Ring, Oriolan was no longer certain.

...

In the vast and boundless Treasure Pearl Sea, the sea surface roiled with waves, rolling with layers of breakers, as if narrating the endless secrets of the ocean. And beneath this grand and surging sea surface lies a world equally exquisite and filled with a fantastical aura.

Coral stands like forests, pearls twinkle like stars.

Vibrant schools of fish shuttle to and fro, composing a series of enchanting underwater tapestries.

It was then that an unusual figure silently emerged from beneath the sea, a Fishman, tightly gripping a Fish Spear in its hand, which gleamed coldly under the sunlight, as though ready to tell of the unbroken bond between the merfolk and this ocean.
