Chapter 266: Chapter 164: [Divine Level Complete Restriction Control]
"But, this is way too much."
"If I can really use up all these materials, I feel like I won’t be far from Level 7..."
The corpse of a Submerged Land Level Demon is enormous, easily the size of a mountain range or a sea.
It would be truly difficult for Ai Jin to handle so many materials by himself.
"Haha, then congratulations in advance, Uncle Ai Jin, on your promotion to Level 7 Enchanter."
"I’ll still need your help with my equipment in the future."
...
「White Tower」
Lu Cang tested out his new Talent.
He had already broken the floor-by-floor Restrictions of the White Tower.
Lu Cang went up to the fifth floor in one go, finally stopping there.
He could have actually gone even higher.
But... that would have been a bit too conspicuous. The White Tower had nine floors in total, with each floor roughly corresponding to a Scholar of the same Level.
By the fifth floor, the amount of information and books had already become quite scarce.
’I doubt there’s much more information on the higher floors anyway,’ Lu Cang estimated.
Besides, now that he was on the fifth floor,
Lu Cang found that a lot of the material had become obscure and difficult to understand... There were many unfamiliar scripts, as well as a great deal of extremely specialized knowledge.
On the Breakthrough and Reconstruction of Magic: Proofs and Conjectures Regarding Beyond Magic — by Izparut
On the Implementation of Multiple Casting: A Method to Increase the Number of Simultaneous Magic Spells Through Training
Multiple Casting.
It really could be achieved through training.
If the difficulty of Casting a single Magic spell was 1, then the difficulty of Casting two simultaneously was 10, and three simultaneously was 100.
This was Iz’s theory on Multiple Casting.
For every additional Magic spell one wanted to cast simultaneously, the difficulty increased tenfold...
A normal Mage might spend their entire life learning and perhaps only master Double Casting.
’I wonder what level Iz has trained to.’
’In any case, I have infinite.’
These books were all collected on the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was almost entirely filled with extremely complex theories, impossible to understand without a foundational theoretical background.
Even with theories on Magic, Lu Cang found them to be a headache.
The difficulty of Iz’s academic research was on a completely different level from his usual verbal teachings.
’The Heavenly Destiny Theorem Technique.’
On the fifth floor, Lu Cang found what he was looking for.
’So it was on the fifth floor. No wonder I could never find it before.’
The materials on the fifth floor were restricted; one needed the corresponding permissions to take them.
By breaking the Restriction, Lu Cang had earned the right to stay and browse on the fifth floor, but not the right to take anything with him. freёwebnovel.com
Lu Cang unrolled the Heavenly Destiny Theorem Technique. It was a Scroll made of Magic Beast Hide.
The entire Scroll was about five meters long and half a meter wide.
It was covered in a multitude of lines, drawings, formulas, and symbols. Lu Cang could only barely make out a few of the symbols, recognizing them as special symbols from Destiny Science.
’But as for what the entire Scroll was actually about...’
Lu Cang couldn’t understand it at all.
He only knew that the Scroll held a Secret.
The Secret within was called the "Inner Heavenly Destiny Theorem Skill."
’So, after all this work to find the Heavenly Destiny Theorem Technique, I now have to decipher a Secret within it?’
’No, not necessarily. What needs deciphering is the "Inner Heavenly Destiny Theorem Skill."’
’I don’t necessarily have to decipher it. Just understanding the surface layer should be enough.’
’Sigh...’
’The conditions for changing to this unique Profession are really a pain.’
’I should ask Yuna to help me study this. I can absorb a ton of knowledge from her then. I’m sure she’ll be very interested in this subject too.’
Afterward, Lu Cang relied on his ability to bypass Restrictions.
He went around Kernoya, testing it out.
’After trying it a few times, it seems I don’t have to worry too much about being discovered.’
The breaking of the Restrictions was done remotely.
After breaking them from a distance, he could just use Flash of Light to dash inside instantly. Basically no one could react in time.
There weren’t many Level 5 powerhouses in the entire Ruelun Continent.
’What Level 5 powerhouse would be stuck here on gate duty?’
’Can you imagine Lu Luwei standing guard in front of a Restriction all day like some lackey?’
Important places relied on the effects of Restrictions for protection.
After all, that was the entire purpose of a Restriction.
As for the gatekeepers, no one really placed their hopes in them.
The guards at most Restricted areas were weak.
For them to react to Lu Cang’s speed was next to impossible.
「Divine Hall」
Inside the Forbidden Hall of the Divine Hall of Light.
An old man with a face full of wrinkles paced back and forth in a spacious, light-filled room.
At this very moment, Lu Cang was in his element as an infiltrator.
He used Flesh Reshaping to take on the appearance of an old man, then draped himself in layers of Magic Robes and Magic Tools designed to block Perception and reduce his presence.
He took control of the Restriction, making it open only for him.
Then, finding the perfect moment, he passed through the Restriction in an instant.
Just as the drowsy guards began to yawn, a light flashed for a split second. Lu Cang had even used a minor Sacrifice to push his speed to the absolute limit.
SWOOSH!
The two guards outside didn’t notice a thing.
Lu Cang was already inside the Restricted area.
He glanced back at the two "Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals" with their backs to him.
’It’s your own fault for setting up a Restriction without a physical door. If I had to push a door open, it wouldn’t have been this easy.’
’Still, this place is magnificent.’
The grand hall was filled with golden pages and Scrolls... and in the center of the sanctuary stood a golden-white sword, sealed by hundreds of Restrictions.
The Restriction protecting the hall wasn’t just a single layer to prevent entry.
There were also Restrictions to perceive outsiders.
And Restrictions that would execute any intruders.
However, at this moment, all of these Restrictions were under Lu Cang’s control... not a single one was triggered.
’Sigh... what a pity.’
Lu Cang gazed at the golden-white sword in the center, sealed by hundreds of Restrictions. ’That must be a top-tier item.’
But he didn’t dare just take the thing.
’It’s obviously the Light Church’s most precious, foundational treasure. If I took it... I’d probably start a feud to the death with them.’
’It’s impossible that the massive Light Church can’t support a high-level Divination Master or a high-level Observer.’
Lu Cang refused to believe that.
’I should just "borrow" some of the things I don’t need to take with me. Just taking a peek shouldn’t be a problem, right?’
’Ooh~’
’What’s this Bright Forbidden Technique: Celestial Punishment Purification?’
’Let me see.’
Lu Cang picked up a golden tome. Before his hands even touched it, he undid the ten layers of restrictive Seals on the book without triggering any feedback from breaking them.
’Something this well-protected has to be good, no doubt about it.’
’No... I should take precautions. What if it’s some kind of forbidden knowledge that can’t be touched directly? It would be bad if there were serious consequences. I’d better just copy it first and take it back to read.’
