Badge in Azure

After much consideration, Saleen still felt that he could not make the decision and needed to discuss it with his followers.

He passed the letter around for everyone to take a look. Sul and Nailisi’s opinion was to give up on the Cloudflow Empire’s other two temples, because they were afraid that the temples would have already been cleared out by Agares. Within the Cloudflow border, even if Saleen and the others’ whereabouts could be hidden, the final destination could not be. Agares would only have to arrange for people to wait at the temple.

If they died, Agares might even send a letter to the oracle.

Agares had sent a letter to Saleen, probably with the aim of allowing Saleen to understand who his opponent was. However, it did not mean that Agares would not send any letters to the Holy See. Agares would also not mind using the oracle’s hands to get rid of Saleen.

However, Sika said, “Saleen, if you want to go then go. The two remaining coordinates are far away, but we have one possibility to meet Agares. If he is not there, we should quickly demolish the temple. With the combined efforts of 10,000 demons, it will not even take half a day.”

“And if we run into him?”

“Kill him.” Sika’s answer was simple.

Saleen nodded. If they ran into Agares, killing him was the best choice. However assassins excelled in escaping, and they were even better at concealment. In a situation with no guarantee, their actions would be exceptionally cautious. Not to mention Agares’s people tended to treasure their lives. If there was any sign of danger, they would escape.

Nailisi and the others saw that Saleen wanted to stay in Cloudflow and could not do anything about it, but they reminded Saleen to contact Metatrin City. Saleen’s Magical Element Tower’s extended to the 17th floor, and could now accommodate a large-scale magic power furnace. If the need arose, it would be safe to modify the magical tower, and then search for the temples.

Metatrin City already had a large-scale magic power furnace. It was only because they lacked materials that only one magic power furnace was successfully manufactured. The alchemic factory’s mages were researching substitute materials for the magic power furnace. The large magic power furnace was left in the alchemic factory as a sample for the mages to refer to in their research.

Saleen could use the large magic power furnace, but he could not change the original one. It was necessary to be in the alchemic factory with his teacher and a hundred of mages taking turns refining. Only then could the large-scale magic power furnace be placed inside.

Saleen had no other alternative but to return to Metatrin City. He recalled that he had once refurbished a cave in an uninhabited area. Now there would no longer be people from the Holy See patrolling the area, and he had already dismantled the temple.

Having decided to return to Metatrin City, Saleen decided to contact Daliang City to deliver the fire dragon sealed in the scroll to Lex. Lex was skilled in Fire Magic. Taming a fire elemental creature would be tremendously helpful in raising her Fighting Power.

The Magical Element Tower once again took off, flying towards the north. It was no longer stationary in Cloudflow.

Even mages had no way to spy on the vast Cloudflow Empire. The informer arranged by Agares had long lost sight of Saleen.

Saleen’s destination was the waterfall at the source of the Red River. The Magical Element Tower flew up to an altitude of 10,000 meters. The winds were bitterly cold but had no impact on the Magical Element Tower’s flight. Terrifying energies started to appear, many of which were extremely harmful towards the human body.

If they were not in the Magical Tower, even level 9s would not dare to stop for too long. Breathing was also a problem. Perhaps only a mage like Saleen would dare to fly high to such an extent. The Myers Mainland was no longer from the past, and the mages’ activity were restricted to 1,000 meters and below. Any higher and it would also be very dangerous for mages.

During the flight, Saleen felt that the lightning dragons in the necklace had awakened. After the lightning dragons advanced to Level 9, they continued to be in a deep sleep for the sake of strengthening their powers, and only occasionally awakened to eat. The lightning dragons’ diet included only a small portion of sea fish. It consisted mainly of magic bugs.

The energy contained by the magic bugs was not bad and was enough to satisfy their appetite.

Twenty-four lightning dragons awoke at the same time and released a call towards Saleen. It was a continuous thundering sound. Saleen was unable to understand. He only knew that the lightning dragons were feeling eager.

What did the lightning dragons need? The lightning dragons had eaten not long ago, so they did not need to be fed. The magic beasts did not eat much because they were about to advance.

Saleen tried to establish Sensory Sharing with the lightning dragons, and their thoughts appeared in a blurred fashion in Saleen’s mind. The lightning dragons wanted was the bizarre cold water!

It was anticipatory, and also slightly fearful.

Saleen did not dare to be careless. He communicated with the 24 lightning dragons, and finally decided that the lightning dragons wanted the water.

Saleen was not able to confirm if that water contained anything harmful towards the lightning dragons and the necklace, but since the lightning dragons made the request, he was unable to refuse. Saleen used magic liquid to dilute some Six Elements’ Heavy Water in one cup, and sent it into the Goddess’ necklace.

The cup of diluted Six Elements’ Heavy Water was quickly separated from the magic liquid, which very quickly lost its effect. Elemental Power was plentiful in the Goddess’ necklace. In the blink of an eye, the Six Elements’ Heavy Water condensed into clear water that exceeded its own volume by 10 times.

The lightning dragons howled excitedly, somewhat ear-piercingly. However, Saleen knew that the water was not harmful to the lightning dragons.

After waiting for a moment, the necklace also did not show any signs of damage. Saleen poured out half of the water in the 3rd floor down the passage into within the necklace.

He was playing it safe. He never thought that after the water entered the necklace that it would flow in the space, condensing into even more clear water. And the Six Elements’ Heavy Water ferociously collided into the barriers of the space, causing a channel to be opened between the spaces of the two necklaces.

The lightning dragons’ cries became louder and louder. Saleen poured the remaining Six Elements’ Heavy Water into the necklace. As the amount of the Six Elements’ Heavy Water entering increased, it became a world of water in the necklace. The 24 points linked into one, ultimately forming into a circle.

The Six Elements’ Heavy Water moved in a loop in the necklace. It did not combine with the clear water, as though it was half of the living creatures in the clear water. The 24 lighting dragons’ bodies were over 30 meters long, but compared to the current, they looked like small snakes.

After the spaces in the necklace had been linked, the Six Elements’ Heavy Water released a roaring sound. The entire necklace came to life. Water Element even overflowed from the necklace.

Saleen was able to feel the 24 lightning dragons moving through the Six Elements’ Heavy Water with great care. Every time they moved through it, the lighting dragons would all float up onto the clear water, slowly recovering from the erosion of their bodies.

The lightning dragons’ behavior was just like humans during cultivation, and it was as regular as clockwork. The Six Elements’ Heavy Water had no consciousness; it flowed in an orderly manner. The lightning dragons were able to control the length of time that they moved through the Six Elements’ Heavy Water.

Saleen was also able to feel that the lightning dragons now had a strong feeling of hunger, which demonstrated that the lightning dragons were about to advance again. For the advancement, who knew how long the lightning dragons would take before they were able to provide power for Saleen.

Saleen felt both joy and anxiety. Originally, it was only with the lightning dragons’ help that his clan badge was able to regain its power within half a year. During the lightning dragons’ advancement, there was no way for them to provide him with any help.

After the 24 lightning dragons had all advanced, Saleen estimated that he would be within the ranks level 10, and there would no longer be any match for him.

Level 10 lightning dragons were able to fly and could release long distance lightning attacks. At the beginning, if he had not had the protection of his clan badge, he and those at his side would have been killed by the Grand Swordmaster.

After Saleen cleaned up the Six Elements’ Heavy Water from the Magical Tower, the Magical Element Tower flew to the front of the cave that Saleen had refurbished. Saleen put away the Magical Element Tower, and everyone entered the cave. The cave already possessed a Water Element territory, and Saleen was able to strengthen the power that was disguising this cave. The waterfall naturally changed the position of its descent, causing the cave to be thoroughly blocked from view.

Saleen did not stop there, installing a teleportation portal in the cave. After confirming that the coordinates were good, he brought the people with him and returned to Metatrin City. However, Saleen did not rashly close the portal.

During the time in Metatrin City, at most a few days, the enemies would have to search for at least half a month before they would be able to find it .

Returning to the temple, Saleen always went to see his teacher first, and he told his teacher about the situation with the Six Elements’ Heavy Water.

After Jason heard about the properties of the water, he pondered for a moment. “Saleen, I reckon this is Six Elements’ Heavy Water. It is hard to come by on the Myers Mainland. Apart from you, I am afraid that others would have difficulty in collecting it even if they searched all the depths of the earth.”

Saleen immediately retrieved all of his scrolls, wanting to pass them to Jason. Jason smiled and took half, returning the other half to his student.

“Saleen, I have Water Flame Alchemy, or else I would not value these types of materials. These are enough to use.”

“Teacher, this Six Elements’ Heavy Water, what use does it have?” Saleen asked. When he gave anything to his teacher, he would either accept it without a word, or craft it into equipment before giving it to him. It was only this time that his teacher told him to keep it for his own use.

“It is the essence converted from the six great elements. It is extremely harmful towards gods. It’s the main material for refining magic amplifiers, how precious do you think it is?”

“Magic amplifier!” Saleen was finally impressed. Things like magic amplifiers were very difficult to come by because Holy Rock City had a large magic amplifier that was able to stand undefeated for 1,000 years. The Holy See had attacked up to the depths of Holy Rock City, and the Heaven Knights were defeated there.
