Above the mage!

Chapter 433: Ode to Winter (Final Chapter)
The rich magical power in the spiritual land fell like a waterfall towards Gao De who was sitting under the ice jade phoenix tree.

This is the magic essence of the fifth-level spiritual land. Under the continuous operation of the "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra", it continuously flows into Gaode's body and merges with the medicinal power released by the Qingteng Spirit Dew.

The two met in Gode's mana pool and merged together into his liquid mana.

With the continuous injection of the two, every drop of Gaode's liquid mana was expanding, and fine, imperceptible lines appeared on the surface, and the color became darker and darker.

Expand, expand, and expand again.

There was no time for God to think carefully.

He took a deep breath and continued to refine and absorb the medicinal power.

Finally, after the liquid mana expanded to a certain size, the fine lines on the surface could no longer bear the weight and began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every crack seeps with tiny bits of golden light, like fireflies suddenly lighting up in the night.

The magic power and medicinal power continued to surge and flow into the liquid mana.

It's like adding fuel to the fire.

After the golden light, strings of emerald green flames gushed out from the cracks, illuminating the Gaode Mana Pool as if it were a burning green fire.

Click!

The next moment, a crisp sound exploded inside Gaode's body.

He was shaken all over.

It was a drop of liquid mana, and when the cracks on the surface reached a certain size, it suddenly collapsed.

However, the shattered liquid magic power did not turn into smaller water droplets and splash around. Instead, it was as if it had suddenly encountered cold, and condensed into pieces of emerald crystal petals as thin as cicada wings, which were tiny and numerous.

Each crystal petal is so thin that the lines on your palm can be seen through it, with veins like molten gold flowing around the edges and a chalcedony-like spot of light condensed in the core.

Click! Click! Click!

It was like triggering a chain reaction.

The cracking sounds became as sharp as heavy rain hitting banana leaves.

As the first drop of liquid mana collapsed, the remaining fifty-nine drops of liquid mana in Gaode's body began to explode one after another.

Similarly, these collapsed liquid magic powers will solidify into countless tiny emerald crystal petals.

These emerald crystal petals attracted each other and rotated in circles above the mana pool, forming a huge emerald vortex that emitted dazzling light.

The flying crystal petals formed brilliant star wheels above the mana pool. They collided from time to time, making clear resonant sounds, like countless jade chimes playing at the same time.

The most amazing thing was that when the sixtieth drop of liquid mana shattered into crystal petals all over the sky, all the rotating crystal petals suddenly stopped.

As if they were secretly summoned, or following some hidden rules, they began to spiral around the center of the mana pool.

During the rotation, the golden patterns on the edges of the crystal petals automatically pieced together into a complete pattern, while the jade light spots in the core merged into one like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

"Zheng——"

With the sound of a huge bell, all the crystal petals were tightly fitted into a regular octahedral diamond-shaped jade crystal core.

A cyan-gold halo pulsated inside the crystal as if there was a living thing, and sixty ripple-like lines floated on the surface.

After taking shape, the entire crystal suddenly sank and fell to the very center of the bottom of the mana pool, firmly fixed there like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

A heavy feeling came over me.

The crystallization of mana was completed naturally and without any surprises.

The abundant magic power provided by the fifth-level spiritual land, as well as the assistance of the top-level magic potion Qingteng Linglu, are such unique conditions that, let alone failure, even if there are any obstacles or lags in the crystallization stage, Gao De will have to reflect on whether he has not practiced hard enough.

Boom!
The rise continues.

The medicinal power of the Green Vine Spirit Dew surged into his mind like a sweet rain, nourishing his mental strength.

This is to help him break through the second level and break the limit of his mental strength.

However, Gao De had already broken through this level a long time ago, but the medicinal power would not be wasted, but would be used to enhance Gao De's mental strength.

The benefits of the inverted mental strength are obvious.

Not to mention the "judgment" advantage in spells involving mental confrontation, the increased speed in constructing spell models and the increased efficiency in practice are both extremely direct gains.

Naturally, the higher the mental strength, the better.

With the help of the medicinal power of Qingteng Linglu, Gaode's mental strength value, which was originally as high as 211, increased to 233 in a very short time.

This is already equivalent to the mental strength of a mid-second-ring mage.

The first two levels have been successfully passed.

This was also what Gaode had expected. He was so well prepared that no accidents should have occurred.

But he didn't relax.

Because the next level was the only one he expected to encounter problems, causing him to fail to level up:

Open up the second-ring magic star sea!
In the space of consciousness, in the dreamy and magnificent sea of ​​magic stars.

Countless stars are wandering aimlessly.

In the center of the sea of ​​stars is the shadow of the Fengling Moon, which is like the sun in the heliocentric theory, not dazzling but eye-catching.

Around it, there are 44 magic models of tricks, like constellations.

In addition, there are more scattered stars that move freely.

A magnificent star ring surrounds Feng Ling Yue Ying, enclosing these stars and magic spell models within it, forming the zero-ring star sea.

Outside the star ring is a sea of ​​stars, where many stars are also swimming, but they are obviously larger in size and brightness.

In addition, there are 51 first-level spell models, like 51 more complex and huge constellations standing in it.

At the edge of the First Ring of Star Sea, there is an egg-like membrane that confines all the First Ring of Stars within a limited area of ​​the First Ring of Star Sea.

Outside the egg, there is darkness, just like the deep and dark universe that cannot be looked directly at.

Wow!
Right now.

Gaode's mental power pulled the remaining medicinal power of the Green Vine Spirit Dew and rushed into the magical sea of ​​​​stars like a galaxy.

During this process, he also had to spare some energy to attract a ring of magic stars and join the river formed by the medicinal power.

As more and more first-ring spell stars were added, the river began to expand.

Gao De also gradually felt a sense of exhaustion, as if he was carrying a heavy object.

Fortunately, with his mental strength reaching that of a mid-second-ring mage, this burden could not overwhelm him.

This is why breaking the limit of mental power is the second level.

Only by breaking the limit of mental power can one control enough stars, launch an attack on the boundary of the magic star sea, and open up the second-ring magic star sea.

Gao De's mental strength was the commander, and the medicinal power of Xingzi and Qingteng Linglu was the soldiers, crashing straight into the egg membrane-like boundary.

There was a boom.

Not as good as the many attempts to open up a first-ring magic star sea.

This time, because his mental strength was high enough, Gaode attracted the amount of stars that reached the limit of his ability, and made a sprint towards the border in one go.

The impact force brought by this galaxy, which far exceeded the carrying capacity of the film, was astonishing. Just one collision caused the film to crack instantly, and even the process of cracks appearing and then slowly spreading was so fast that it seemed to be skipped.

Accompanied by the sound of the film shattering, as if crystal was breaking, countless crystal fragments, like stars and glass, shot into the sky.

They were pulled by the inexplicable gravity in the magical star sea, forming a brilliant halo and began to expand outward rapidly.

In Gaode's opinion, that scene was actually more like the shock wave formed by the explosion of truth in the previous life, shocking and beautiful.

Until it expands large enough, all the fragments stop moving and become fixed, forming a fixed star ring.

Inside the star ring is the first-ring magic star sea, and outside the star ring is the newly born second-ring magic star sea.

In the dark sea of ​​magic stars, countless tiny lights suddenly flashed.

twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

They are newly born second-ring magic stars.

Powerful, dazzling, and a little bit violent.

But in Gaode's eyes, they are extremely cute and kind, making him feel endless joy.

In fact, having completed this step, his upgrade is considered successful.

The remaining [Elemental Body], although also considered a level, is actually more like a welfare level.

Except for special cases such as being too old or seriously injured, which results in extremely poor physical condition and unable to withstand the element infusion, basically no one will fail at this level.

At this moment, Gao De clearly had his eyes closed, but he could clearly see countless densely packed spots of various colors floating in the surrounding space.

An inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, that at this moment he could choose one type of light spot, pull it into his body, and transform it into an elemental body.

Use these elements to strengthen your body, gain resistance to the corresponding elements, and increase your lifespan.

Gaode was already clear about these processes before starting the upgrade, and naturally had an answer to which elements to choose.

His mind moved.

The relatively few red light spots in the surrounding space suddenly turned into bright spots of light, falling towards Gaode like raindrops.

Fire element.

To improve one's own combat effectiveness, one must either continue to strengthen one's strengths or make up for one's weaknesses.

Gaode’s choice is the latter.

Both the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra and his current main spell system are relatively restrained by fire element spells.

Another point is that in the era of low-level mages, the fire elemental energy shaping spells were undoubtedly top-notch in terms of power and destructive power.

Therefore, choosing the fire element to elementalize the body and enhance the resistance to the fire element is an extremely cost-effective choice in Gaode's opinion.

The fire element entered Gaode's body, flowing into every inch of his muscles, every drop of blood, every bone, and every cell.

That feeling is just like soaking in a hot spring. It is warm and light at the same time. You will indulge in it unconsciously and cannot extricate yourself.

Correspondingly, his body's resistance to fire elemental spells is also continuously improving.

This feeling lasted for an unknown amount of time. When the final transformation was completed, wisps of vitality burst out from his body and were instantly refined.

In just a moment, Gaode realized that the upper limit of his life span had suddenly increased from 340 years to 415 years.

There is a martial art that makes you younger the more you practice it, and that is the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra.

At this point, all four levels of the Shenghuan stage have been passed.

This means that Gaode has already entered the ranks of second-ring mages.

But the promotion is not over yet.

Because there is one last step that has not been completed.

Awakening feat.

Once raw, twice cooked.

This time Gaode did not make a fuss, but waited quietly.

He didn't have to wait too long. A majestic and heavy thought flowed around him like a tide, starting from the top of his head and flowing downwards, washing over his entire body, then flowing upstream along the same path, and so on.

Every wash caused strange tremors throughout his body.

After being washed over countless times, this thought finally flooded into Gaode's mind.

The sky is blooming.

An extremely bright light bloomed in his mind, bringing infinite brightness and magic, making Gao Degong feel "dazzled".

The world is spinning.

Float up, float up, and float up again.

At this moment, Gao De felt as if he had lost gravity. His consciousness kept floating up and everything in front of him became blurry. He kept floating up to a bizarre world, and then everything in front of him began to become clear again.

The world seemed to be above the clouds. Clouds of different colors and sizes floated past Gaode's eyes, making it look extremely dreamy.

Where is this? What are these clouds?
This question flashed through Gao De's mind subconsciously.

The next moment, an inexplicable message emerged in my mind.

[You have mastered more than fifty first-level spells, your body has completed multi-dimensional potential evolution, and you have developed the power of the source of spells. You are capable of opening the bloodline inheritance. Please choose a dormant bloodline in your body and awaken it. ]

Bloodline inheritance?
Gao De has not yet reacted and only has a vague understanding of the situation.

Just then, a cluster of green, marshmallow-sized clouds floated towards us.

He subconsciously reached out to block it.

The cloud was stopped by Gaode's hand and stopped.

Then, a message came from the clouds into his heart.

"Green Bloodline - You will gain knowledge of nature, and your spells will be able to affect plants."

what?
Gao De seemed to understand something and immediately touched another gray-white cloud next to him.

"Darkland Bloodline - You gain an extra bonus to stealth spells, making you more powerful in dimly lit environments."

Sure enough.

A sudden enlightenment arose in Gao De's mind.

The most original supernatural power of a mage comes from his own bloodline, the most famous of which are the Iceborn, Wolfborn, and Dragonborn bloodlines.

It's just that the source of this power is too primitive and uncontrollable.

Our ancestors used their outstanding wisdom to create a magic training system, so that people can obtain the extraordinary power of magic through practice.

The bloodline mage lineage also gradually declined.

Today, the Iceborn bloodline is weak, the Dragonborn bloodline is nowhere to be found, and the Wolfborn are barely surviving, but this does not mean that the power of bloodline inheritance is weak. It can only be said that in terms of inheritance, they have too many limitations.

There are actually countless types of bloodline power.

After such a long and ancient period of time, and passed down through generations of mating, today, everyone’s body actually contains countless kinds of chaotic blood power.

Of course, they are all too weak and not pure enough to awaken, and can only disappear within the body.

And now he can choose a way to awaken it.

Gao De was stunned for a moment, looking at the clouds of unknown size in front of him, and finally made a wise decision.

Read all of them first.

Blue Clouds:

"Son of the Sea - It will be easier for you to master water spells. You will gain professional skills such as swimming and sea navigation."

Larger green clouds:

"Longevity bloodline - you will have a longer lifespan."

Black Clouds:

"Shadow Child."

"Blood of the Dragon."

"Blood of the Wolf."

"Son of Steel."

"The soul of a craftsman."

Gao De strolled in this cloud-like world, examining the bloodline power represented by each cluster of clouds, and was dazzled by the sight.

Gradually, some rules were summed up.

The bigger the cloud is, the more and stronger the bloodline power is contained in your body, and the stronger the power you can gain by awakening it may be.

For example, the legendary dragon bloodline is theoretically the most powerful, but unfortunately the dragon bloodline in Goder's body is too weak:
"Blood of the Dragon - You will gain some knowledge about Asian dragons, and may awaken some Asian dragon spells."

Even if he awakened his dragon bloodline, all he could gain was some marginal power of the dragon bloodline.

Some bloodline powers are not strong in themselves, but correspondingly, Gaode can obtain their full power.

This is a bit like there are two people for you to choose from. One has a deposit of 1,000 yuan but he will only give you 10 yuan. The other has only 10 yuan in deposits but will give you all 10 yuan. Which one would you choose?
Gaode really wanted to have them all, but he didn't have the opportunity.

Too many choices can make it difficult to make a decision.

Gaode now has a kind of happy worry that makes him feel helpless.

Until he was almost at the end, Gao De still hadn't decided which bloodline to awaken.

Until he really reached the bottom, a huge silver-white cloud that was dozens or even hundreds of times larger than all the previous clouds came into view, which made Gao De's heart tremble.

The silver light that seemed to be real made God's pupils shrink suddenly. Ripples surged on the surface of the clouds, carrying the breath of ancient glaciers.

Is it possible that there is such pure and powerful blood power contained in my body?
With shock and curiosity, Gode reached out his hand toward the cloud.

"Iceborn blood - the blood of Anivia flowing in your body will purify your other blood and allow you to gain the power of a pure-blooded Iceborn."

Gao De was stunned on the spot.

Anivia?

Who is that?
He had never heard of the name.

But it doesn’t matter anymore, because he can understand the annotations at the end.

"Pure-blooded Iceborn."

No more thinking, no more hesitation.

Godard made a decision.

Iceborn bloodline.

The next moment, this huge silver-white cloud split like living mercury, and suddenly dispersed into thousands of silver-white air currents, vast and pure, directly wrapping his entire body.

A pleasant song, from imaginary to real, from far to near, sounded in Gaode's "ears".

The ballad was sung in an extremely strange and ancient language, but Gao De was able to understand its meaning:
"Wild spirit, you travel far and wide,"

"Destroyer and Protector: Listen, and listen!"

"Above your stream, the sky is full of currents,"

"The clouds are like the fallen leaves on the earth,"

"Blown down by the north wind from the tangled branches of sky and sea,"

"Be the bringer of rain and lightning:"

"They float on the surface of your misty blue waves, shining like the flowing hair of a mad woman"

"From the most remote and vague edge of the sky,"

"Reaching the zenith of the sky, it is swaying everywhere,"

"Black rain, hail, and fire: oh, hear!"

"Violent spirit! Transform into me and I will lend you your sharp edge!"

"Please scatter my dusty thoughts in the universe,"

"Let it be like a dead leaf that gives birth to new life!"

"Oh, listen to this incantation,

"Let my voice be like ashes and sparks,"

"From the unextinguished hearth fire to the world!"

"Let the trumpet of prophecy pass through my mouth,"

"Wake up the sleeping earth!"

"Oh, North Wind,"

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”

Sunaifa, who was closest to Gode, suddenly had a slightly changed expression on his face.

At this moment, she actually heard the faint sound of hymns.

Subconsciously, she looked in the direction of the sound, and her eyes fixed on Gao De who was nearby.

The chill was gushing out of Gaode's body.

Looking up, Gao De's body was covered with a faint layer of silver frost, and his skin seemed to have turned into a translucent ice blue.

Faintly, the scarlet blood vessels in his body emerged.

The blood in it was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Instead, there is a clear fluid in which ice crystals are suspended.

Every heartbeat causes a thin layer of frost to form on the blood vessel walls, which then shatters into finer ice crystals with the next beat and spreads along the veins toward the heart.

Wow!
The next moment, Gode's entire body, including his hair, naturally emanated a dazzling silver-blue light.

The light was so dazzling that Sunaifah subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Then, a power that made Sunaifa feel extremely familiar was slowly rising from Gode's body.

"It's the king!"

"This is the power of Zhenbing!"

It's not just her.

Throughout the North, all those of Iceborn descent felt their souls tremble at this moment.

They all heard the same chant, but they didn't know where it came from or why.

But the reverence that came from their blood made them unable to help but sing this hymn together:
"Wake up the sleeping earth!"

"Oh, North Wind,"

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
