I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 500

"There's none?"

Theresa lowered her head slightly, lost in thought.

"Yes, there wasn't much of a commotion."

Ethan thought for a moment before answering.

"Unlike the demons in hell, archangels are not active on earth. The ones I see are mostly half-angels or fallen angels."

They exist outside the core of Heaven, knowing nothing about its conditions, only that the connection between Heaven and the mortal world had been largely severed approximately twenty years ago.

"Nothing other than a pure and innocent soul is allowed to enter Heaven."

Su Fan hadn't expected that Ethan, an intelligence broker living in Britain, would know more about the current state of Heaven than a bishop living in the Vatican, but after a little thought, it made perfect sense.

Compared to humans and angels in a superior-subordinate relationship, demons, as enemies, are more familiar with the latter's situation.

It's not surprising that Ethan, who frequently deals with demons, could obtain some top-secret information.

"As the connection between Heaven and Earth weakened, most of the mixed-race angels who were playing on Earth gradually lost their divine powers, and many things happened in the process."

However, those are all things of the past; things have been much more peaceful in recent years.

Ethan wisely refrained from saying anything more and prepared to slip away.

"I have done what I promised you, so I will not disturb you and Her Majesty any longer. Please allow me to take my leave now."

Before the words were even finished, the rat vanished from their sight in a flash.

Theresa, who had been deep in thought, stood up and gave Su Fan a smile.

"May I go take a nap here?"

"Most of the guest rooms in the villa are vacant; you can choose one you like to rest in."

Su Fan smiled back and watched the other person walk up the stairs.

"Don't forget to come down for lunch later."

"Well, don't worry, I will."

Theresa turned to Su Fan and answered, then went into the room she had chosen.

Demons emerge in endless streams, and evil grows increasingly rampant, while Heaven, in contrast, remains silent.

Even the most oblivious person could sense that something had probably gone wrong on that side.

Theresa needs some time to accept the current situation; more than comforting her, she needs quiet and independent space right now.

Su Fan wasn't too worried.

Theresa was not so fragile as to be defeated by a mere piece of news. Unlike most believers, her strong will emanated from her own heart, rather than relying on faith in God.

She will adjust her mindset and continue to do what she believes is right.

Su Fan should also get down to business.

He walked out of the living room, across the entire villa, and onto the corridor leading to the back garden. He sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

During his last trip to Fox Town, he briefly entered a state of enlightenment through direct contact with nature, thereby gaining the Mountain and River Sword Intent.

It played a crucial role in subsequent battles, and it was thanks to the artistic conception that Su Fan was able to fight Chen Wujiu to a standstill despite lacking favorable timing, location, and human support.

During the exchange, the artistic conception used by Chen Wujiu remained vivid in Su Fan's memory. The seasons cycle endlessly, and all things go from sprouting to flourishing, then to withering and finally dying.

But within the desolation lies new life; with each complete cycle of the four seasons, Chen Wujiu's power increases accordingly.

Su Fan didn't know how that artistic conception achieved this, but it was clear that the demonic Taoist had his own unique understanding of sword intent.

In this respect, he might need to learn more from others.

Moreover, it's time to practice the many skills and techniques we've learned before.

This is the political and cultural center of Britain. Although Su Fan doesn't care about other people's feelings, he doesn't want his still-unfamiliar magic to get out of control and cause damage.

After careful consideration, he decided to conduct the deduction within his own consciousness.

When Su Fan opened his eyes again, the villa courtyard in front of him had disappeared, replaced by a consciousness space with a milky white base.

It wasn't empty; thin wisps of mist drifted in the air, giving it a celestial feel.

The name "Sea of ​​Consciousness" does not refer to a physical ocean, but rather to the deepest part of a cultivator's consciousness, as mysterious and profound as the deep sea.

It is inseparable from the soul, and the scenes within often reflect the deepest nature of the cultivator's heart.

The sea of ​​consciousness of the berserker is turbulent and restless, while that of the sinister is dark and treacherous. Su Fan's sea of ​​consciousness, however, is calm and leisurely, which is consistent with reality.

As Su Fan's thoughts flowed, the pale white mist that had been flowing peacefully nearby gathered together and formed human figures with bodies identical to Su Fan's own. At a glance, there were about ten of them.

They scattered, each practicing a different spell.

Su Fan, the main body, sat cross-legged not far away, quietly absorbing the experience gained from these divine consciousness clones' practice.

At the same time, a series of pop-up windows appeared in front of Su Fan.

[Through deduction and comprehension, you have further explored the true meaning of the Mountain and River Sword Intent, which has enabled you to make significant progress in the path of swordsmanship.]

[Through deduction and comprehension, you have further explored the mysteries of the Heavenly Scroll, and the previously faint sense of it has been strengthened.]

[Through deduction and comprehension, you have further explored the application of the supernatural power of Wind Control. Within the hurricane you are driving, there seems to be a faint rumble of thunder.]

[Through deduction and comprehension, you have further explored the application of the supernatural power, Nightmare Prayer. Even beings with souls of equal strength to yours cannot escape the illusions you have meticulously constructed.]

[Through deduction and comprehension, you further explore the application of the Supernatural Power "Emerging Aura." When others call your name, you can sense it and even vaguely pinpoint their approximate location. (The locked range is within a radius of 500 meters.)]

[Through deduction and contemplation, you further explore...]

These pop-up windows appeared in an orderly fashion, each one representing a further improvement in Su Fan's mastery of the skills.

Furthermore, notifications have appeared regarding the acquisition of new derivative skills.

Su Fan didn't have time to read them carefully.

Deducing and comprehending is an extremely mentally taxing cultivation method. Multitasking is enough to exhaust one's mind and spirit, let alone Su Fan's simultaneous advancement of ten skills.

Before long, the misty humanoid figures that had condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness began to lose their ability to maintain themselves and returned to their original form.

When the last wisp of mist disappeared, Su Fan, who was sitting on the corridor, finally opened his eyes.

Those deep, bright eyes dimmed, filled with weariness, but a smile still crept onto the corners of their lips.

His hard work paid off; this attempt was very fruitful.
