Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 129 In a Land Rich in Elements, Fire Suppresses Demons
This scene.

Fang Yu found it strange.

How can the contrast be so great?
Places that are very close to each other.

One place was deathly still, like an abyss, while the other was so vibrant, brimming with life.

What exactly caused this?
After a while.

Fang Yu stopped thinking and continued forward. After passing through the lush land, he walked for only a thousand meters or so before encountering another desolate and silent place.

During his journey, he found that eighty percent of the region was lifeless, with only a few places showing signs of life.

Soon, Fang Yu saw a series of rugged mountain peaks, but most of them had already collapsed.

Step into a mountain peak and reach the summit.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, and an abandoned ancient temple stands quietly in the moonlight.

The ancient hall was silent and very large and majestic. Inside stood a bird-shaped stone sculpture, covered with a thick layer of dust.

Although it has long been abandoned and covered with a thick layer of dust, it still exudes an extraordinary aura.

"It's so clean, there's nothing left."

Fang Yu walked forward and scanned his surroundings, but unfortunately, apart from a stone sculpture, he did not see any other items.

Just then, he stepped on the thick layer of dust, making a loud "clang" sound.

Fang Yu's foot seemed to have kicked something, making a metallic thud. He brushed aside the dust in the corner and revealed a broken ring the size of a fingernail.

The ring has a simple and antique design, but it feels warm and smooth to the touch, without the cold, hard feeling of metal. It's more like holding a piece of warm jade.

To Fang Yu's surprise, the ancient hall was full of dust, but the ring was spotless, as if it could keep the dust away.

"This is?"

"What is the origin of this object? And what is its connection to this stone statue?"

Fang Yu carefully put it away, planning to investigate it further once they were outside.

He continued his search but found nothing more. Confirming that the ancient temple was nothing special, Fang Yu left.

Over the next few days, Fang Yu crossed several mountain peaks and finally arrived at a place full of verdant peaks and spiritual beauty.

Boom, boom, boom...

High in the sky, on a beautiful cliff, a thunderous roar echoed as a waterfall cascaded down, a silver ribbon stretching for hundreds of meters, a truly magnificent sight, a vast expanse of white.

Below, there was an open space surrounded by endless exotic flowers and plants. In the central area, elements swirled and auspicious colors flowed, forming a vast, hazy lake.

The area around the great lake is so rich in elements that it's almost liquid, making it a sacred cultivation ground that magicians dream of.

At this moment, Fang Yu stepped inside, absorbing the primordial elements of heaven and earth. These elements, after entering the spiritual world, nourished Xingzi.

He had a feeling that he was not far from breaking through to the second level of the intermediate stage of the fire element.

"I never expected there to be such a sacred place for cultivation with such rich elemental energy here."

“An unexpected gain!”

Fang Yu murmured to himself, silently absorbing the rich elements permeating the lake.

After a while.

Fang Yu interrupted his cultivation, and he vaguely sensed a series of eerie whispers.

This place is dangerous, and he remains highly vigilant.

Afterwards, Fang Yu wandered around the large lake, observing his surroundings.

Ahead, the moonlight shone brightly like frost, and beneath the vast lake, water droplets dotted the surface, and mist drifted by.

Everything was blurry, but several faintly glowing, blurry figures darted past, which was very eerie.

"what?!"

"What is this?" Fang Yu was quite surprised.

Suddenly, a thick fog rolled in around the lake.

The fog was extremely thick, spreading across the lake. Wherever Fang Yu looked, everything shrouded in fog was blurred, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Especially in the darkness of night, the fog's concealment was even more pronounced. Fang Yu tried to avoid it, but even after running a short distance, the fog continued to encroach.

A mist enveloped everything, and a chilling aura permeated all living things it touched, including his body.

It's very cold, very icy.

Seeing this, Fang Yu summoned his magic-enhancing tools, his figure moving like lightning at incredible speed, leaping dozens of meters away in an attempt to bypass the fog over a wider area.

After retreating far enough, Fang Yu's expression wasn't very good.

The fog covered too wide an area. No matter how fast he was, he was still surrounded by fog in all directions and had nowhere to hide. He was completely engulfed by the fog.

"What exactly is this thick fog?"

All of this made Fang Yu feel uneasy.

at this time……

A faint, sigh-like song drifted out from within the mist.

Fang Yu frowned. He used his mental powers to probe and sense the strangeness around him, but found nothing.

In the thick fog, the singing became even clearer.

As if a woman were lamenting the injustices of the world, the gray mist, echoing around her, gathered from all directions toward Fang Yu's location.

Suddenly, Fang Yu's body trembled for a moment.

The song drifted on and on, reaching Fang Yu's ears and sending an indescribable chill through his body, as if he were in the icy world of the Arctic.

The song was eroding his mind, Fang Yu's heart was in turmoil. This bizarre scene made his eyes narrow sharply, and he wanted to move his body, but he couldn't.

During the mental shock, Fang Yu was unable to move or speak, and was completely unable to stop it.

A shocking change occurred.

In Fang Yu's spiritual world, the Nine Heavens Cloud Crane Fire Seed of the Fire-type Nebula trembled and flames ignited.

boom!
Outside, Fang Yu was surrounded by flowing flames, and streaks of fire spread out like a raging flood, instantly engulfing the entire fog. It was incredibly dazzling and possessed an indescribable divine charm.

The eerie chants uttered by the strange demons were abruptly silenced, and the thick fog that had enveloped Fang Yu gradually thinned.

Fang Yu vaguely saw a blurry figure fall into the lake.

At the same time, Fang Yu's body finally regained its mobility.

But at that moment, a murderous intent suddenly erupted beneath his feet. A gray hand, gripping a sharp bone sword, slashed directly towards Fang Yu's neck.

"Zero Domain Armor".

In the critical moment, Fang Yu used his Star Orbit technique to cast a spell. Frost surged, and in an instant, a stern, icy blue armor condensed and covered his body.

With a loud bang, the bone sword that was aimed at his neck collapsed under the pressure, and the hand holding the bone sword also suddenly withdrew. In the distortion of nothingness, a semi-transparent figure was revealed, which was rapidly retreating.

Fang Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at the figure who was trying his best to hide, but whose outline was still vaguely visible.

"Zero Domain - Ice Lance".

In an instant, star trails flashed, and he swung his right hand, sending the ice spear flying through the air.

A deafening roar came from ahead, and the eerie figure was clearly taken aback, realizing it was too late to dodge.

A shattering sound rang out, and the lower part of the eerie body shattered.

But the next moment, the other person's figure completely disappeared.

"Can you become invisible?"

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, sensing everything around him.

Suddenly, he moved, swinging his ice spear sharply behind him.

Amidst the roar, the transparent figure that had been struck by his ice magic and fallen to the ground was finally revealed.

Gray eyes and a body shrouded in thick fog—these distinctive features identify it as a ghost, a type of undead.

He was skilled in mental power, but unfortunately, he encountered Fang Yu, his nemesis, and his mind was corrupted by the Nine Heavens Cloud Crane Fire Seed.
