Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild
Chapter 631 - 316: Spring of Magic Power (Part 2)
Seeing her immersed in cultivation, Li Ang sat by the side and looked towards Leviathan.
Finally, you're paying attention to me, Li Ang. The Little Dragon transmitted a message of delight.
The situation was a bit chaotic just now, please help me with my cultivation too. Li Ang said to her in his heart.
Alright, I'll guide you to feel my power.
Li Ang entered a meditative state, attempting to reach the state where he once submerged into the Magic Power Dimension.
The last time he left this meditative state halfway due to being pursued by a mysteriously powerful presence, and hadn't entered it since. He didn't know who that dragon was or whether its strength could match Fafnir's.
While he was pondering, he heard the sound of waves.
In the boundless Magic Power Dimension's starry sky, countless stars glittered; some beings were agitated by his arrival, whether out of longing, doubt, or... fear?
Li Ang examined himself; here, he was not in human form and had no specific shape, but he could "see" his Magic Power and Spirituality.
Within the spiritual structure, there were some spirituality imprints half-imbued with the Power of Dragon.
Was it left by Fafnir when performing a soul stealing attack? That move was even more insidious than some Curse Arts of demons, leaving some traces that could only be felt in this state.
Because of this imprint, the beings in the Magic Power Dimension dared not approach him.
However, he could feel that this trace was much weaker than a demon's curse, and would vanish with time without any need for concern.
"I found you here!"
A crisp bell-like sound echoing from the soul resonated as a star, as blue as the sea, came to Li Ang's side, swirling around him.
"Leviathan?" Li Ang felt his connection with this star.
"It's me, come on."
The star emitted a dazzling light, propelling him rapidly forward.
This feeling of speed surpassed the shackles of the physical body; gravity and resistance did not affect him. The velocity instantly reached its limit, and the Magic Flow brushing past him made him a bit unadapted, taking a while to stabilize his state.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you aren't a resident of the Magic Power Dimension."
"No problem, continue, I'm already accustomed to it."
"Okay, I'll take you to my home."
The sea-blue star emitted bright, pure Magic Power, immediately taking Li Ang to the deepest part of the Magic Power Dimension.
Here, the level and depth are not to be understood by the distance and space of the Material Dimension but by the characteristics of Magic Power, which the human brain cannot fully comprehend.
Material nourishes spirit, spirit draws magic, and magic interferes with material... The rules of the world do not mean that the three points in this triangle can completely understand each other.
Or rather, it's this interconnected yet distinct state that maintains the stability of the world; otherwise, it might fall into chaos.
As this understanding arose in his mind, Li Ang realized this was a perception born only in such a transcendent state.
Leviathan led him through the final thick curtain of Magic Power, revealing an unbelievable scene ahead.
"This, this is also the Magic Power Dimension..."
Li Ang's subconscious murmured; his attention was fully captivated by the scene before him.
Unlike the dark starry sky of most areas, in the core of this Magic Power Dimension, a hyper-concentrated Magic Power transmitted a sensory perception of endless light. This was not the Light Element but a form of Magic Power presence, perceived at the spiritual level rather than seen.
A pure white pillar of light to the extreme seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, fanning out from the top like branch-like tributaries and spreading at the bottom like a river network, connected to various parts of the Magic Power Dimension. Or perhaps this "Tree of Light" supported the entire Magic Power Dimension, being the core of this world within a world.
The central part of the Light Tree emitted many faintly visible lights of Magic Power, and at the end of this light were platforms. In the center of each platform was a pool of clear Magic Power, congealing like a spring.
Leviathan guided Li Ang to land in a small pool at the edge. As soon as he was submerged in this spring, Li Ang's system transmitted a notification sound.
Before he could check the panel, his spirit and Magic Power were cleansed by the pure Magic Power of the Spring of Magic, causing him to tremble, a brief moment of distraction before he maintained his sense of self.
"What is this place?"
"This is the Spring of Magic, the birthplace of all Magic Power in the world. But sorry, I can only bring you to the smallest spring. Getting any closer would be noticed by other Dragon Ancestors."
Leviathan's words carried an apology, but Li Ang was already too stunned by this information to speak.
It's all thanks to her identity; otherwise, even the Six Dragons probably couldn't bring him here easily, oh, except for the Water Dragon. Leviathan was originally one of her facets.
Despite being somewhat weak, she is still one of the Six Dragon Ancestors. She was born here, grew here, and it's these Dragon Ancestors who altered the form of Magic Power, making it the Magic Power mortals interact with today.
Li Ang opened the panel.
[Tip: Sharing the Magic Source Diversion of the Sea Serpent Bloodline, when Leviathan is present and communication with the Magic Power Dimension is unbroken, the Magic Power within can be invoked. Gain Pure Magic Purification, Increase in Magic Control Talent]
The first part Li Ang understood, it meant using Leviathan as a conduit to draw pure Magic Power for casting, equivalent to an additional Energy Source while she accompanies. The latter part made him feel mixed emotions.
Because he lacked Magic Control Talent, he chose the witch Profession. Even now, holding the first chapter of the Material Magic Scripture from the demon, he still needed to manipulate Orichalcum's spirituality to construct Magic rather than relying on his spirituality.
But after soaking in the Spring of Magic, this talent directly changed.
"Can you bring others here too?" Li Ang asked Leviathan.
"Because you are connected with me, you can avoid being detected."
Leviathan said that if it weren't for the Sea Serpent's nature belonging to the magic core, just approaching the Spring of Magic would alert the Dragon Ancestors, and even so, she mustn't get too close, otherwise, she cannot hide herself and Li Ang.
If they knew she had been reborn, Li Ang and his party would be subject to direct assault by the Dragon Ancestors.
No wonder the Water Dragon accepted the situation so readily, it turns out they are holding a hot potato.
But Leviathan is quite adorable, offering lots of help, and isn't easily discovered, which is acceptable.
Li Ang turned his attention to the Tree of Light. In the peculiar existence form of the Magic Power Dimension, though he was in the spring at the edge, the giant tree seemed right before him, and the system could present its information.
[Yggdrasil, the World Tree]
[Supports the original Magic Power Beam of the Magic Power Dimension of Nebis, its form as a tree, pure Magic as fruit, and the dragons as its sharers, hence it's called the World Tree. It's the residual state of all magic from the Creator God, with all of Nebis's Magic Power cycling here. Fluctuations in the original Magic Power Beam are transmitted to the farthest tips of roots and branches, causing perturbations in the Material Dimension]
Yggdrasil? Its true name should be the Primordial Magic Beam, right?
Li Ang used spirituality to "distant-view", seeing a cluster of pulsing purple stars atop the tree, numerous dark green stars at the roots, and in the middle of the trunk, a black and a crimson star revolving and colliding, stirring layers of ripples, causing the Light Tree's beam "trunk" to quiver, these quivers then transmitted across the branches to the far ends.
Noticing what Li Ang was observing, Leviathan said: "Those are the Black and Crimson twins in battle."
Just as expected? Then the one at the top must be the Ancestor of Fairy Dragons, Freyia, while the roots host the numerous Wyrm Dragons; unsure if Nidhogg is among them, and Li Ang hasn't found the Ancestor of Feathered Serpent.
He asked Leviathan, the Little Dragon was silent for a while, saying: "Before I perished along with Nebis's shattering, it still roamed with thunder between the dimensions. I don't know; it might have encountered something, perhaps in a similar state to mine?"
Leviathan mentioned that Dragon Ancestors wouldn't easily manifest in the Material Dimension without a world-shaking event.
Li Ang also pointed to the tremors caused by the black and crimson twin dragons fighting: "Will those trigger a magical disaster?"
"Sometimes yes, sometimes it triggers the birth of Sub-dragons in the Material Dimension."
"I understand."
"I know the names of four Dragon Ancestors, what about the black and crimson dragons?"
"Black Dragon Odin, Crimson Dragon Dagda."
"I see," Li Ang smiled and asked, "Where do your names come from?"
"Since the Creator God formed the world, we naturally had names, probably bestowed by Him."
"I see, the Creator God..."
Basking in the radiance of the World Tree, Li Ang fell into contemplation.
Upon his return from the Magic Power Dimension, the Dragon Summoner had also mastered a new skill on top of the 8th tier foundation.
