Above the mage!

Chapter 435 The Foundation of Qingmu Changsheng Sutra

After being promoted from a first-ring mage to a second-ring mage, Gao De naturally obtained the second-ring ability of "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra": Language of Nature.

Sunaifa had already revealed this ability to him before, so it was not really a surprise.

As for [Elemental Body], it simply strengthens the mage's resistance to certain elements and does not bring any other additional changes to the mage's physique. Turning him into a superman is nonsense.

A mage is still a mage, and is still a "fragile" one.

In Gaode's opinion, the so-called "elementalization" process is actually a bit like vaccination.

The type of element you choose is equivalent to choosing the type of vaccine.

Just like choosing the rabies vaccine, you will have antibodies against rabies, and choosing the hepatitis A vaccine, you will have antibodies against the hepatitis A virus.

But no matter which vaccine you choose, it will only increase the antibodies against the corresponding virus, and the body will not produce any other substantial changes.

The same is true for the elemental body.

If Gaode chooses the fire element, he will have corresponding resistance to fire element spells.

But this resistance is only against the "pathogen" of the fire element, and no other changes have occurred in the essence of his body.

After the upgrade is successful, the quality of the mage's mana will be greatly improved as the liquid mana condenses and solidifies into magic crystals.

Therefore, even if it is just a wizard who has just entered the second ring, the number of first-ring spells that he can release in one breath will increase directly from sixty in the late first ring to one hundred and eighty.

As for tricks, the number that can be cast will exceed 500, which basically means that casting tricks does not consume mana.

Of course, if you cast a second-level spell, the number will be limited.

There are sixty ripples on the newly condensed magic crystal, which are made up of sixty drops of liquid mana. Every time a second-level spell is cast, one ripple will be consumed.

This is normal, and the mana consumption of some spells will far exceed this value.

The practice process of a second-ring wizard is to continuously add ripples to the magic crystal.

When the number of ripples on the magic crystal reaches 120, it is the middle stage of the second ring.

180 lines, that is, the late second ring period.

On the other hand, the ice elemental magic power cultivated by the [Secret of Zhenbing] is in its infancy and is currently only enough to cast a trick.

Gao De is very familiar with the training process of the mage apprentice stage.

When the mist-like mana expanded to be enough to support him in casting twenty cantrips, the mana reached the requirement for upgrading to another level.

As for mental strength, there is no need to say more.

With Gao De's current conditions and mental strength, the time required to cultivate the [Zhenbing Secret] to the first level will be unimaginably fast, equivalent to a high school student taking an elementary school test.

A rough estimate shows that it might take only half a year.

In other words, after half a year, when he breaks through the first ring of [True Ice Secret], he will be able to completely awaken the pure-blooded Iceborn bloodline, and then he can replicate Sunaifah's path and become a fourth-ring mage in two years? !

He is now sixteen and a half years old. In two and a half years, he will be nineteen?!
It’s horrifying to think about it.

Of course, having said that, when the time comes, Gaode will definitely suppress the speed at which his mage level increases.

The reason is very simple: he needs time to accumulate and master more spells, and then upgrade them to gain more powerful expertise.

Whether it is [Adaptive] or [Ice Bloodline], they have fully demonstrated the strength of the expertise that can be awakened when the number of spells is sufficient.

Since the Fourth Ring Road is already a foregone conclusion, there is no need to rush it. Instead, we should consider the road beyond the Fourth Ring Road more.

——Before the fourth ring, [Zhenbing Secret] is indeed invincible, but after the fourth ring, [Zhenbing Secret] is a dead end.

However, this is at least a year later.

Many thoughts flashed through Gao De's mind, and he quickly put them behind him.

Gao De finally came back to his senses.

Then, for the first time, he felt a slightly burning gaze.

Following my feeling, I was surprised to find that the gaze came from Sunaifah, who usually never showed much emotion.

"My king, congratulations," Sunaifa said when he saw Goder looking at him, "The power of the King of the North has finally begun to revive."

Seeing Sunaifa's "as expected" look, Gaode didn't know what to say.

Although he is the biggest "beneficiary" of the prophecy.

But in fact, he has always been skeptical about this prophecy, and he is not even as convinced as these Zhenbing people.

After all, Gao De is a time traveler, and the education he received in his previous life made him subconsciously suspicious of things like "prophecy".

Even after coming into this world and coming into contact with and mastering supernatural powers, this subconscious mind still exists.

It’s like walking on a glass plank road in your previous life. Even if you keep telling yourself that it’s safe because of the layer of glass and that you don’t need to be afraid, the subconscious fear of falling will still exist.

But now, after obtaining the [Zhenbing Bloodline], Gaode gradually began to believe this prophecy.

This is too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence!
He thought for a moment and asked Sunaifa, "Do you know who Anivia is?"

This is the biggest question Gaode has after awakening his Zhenbing bloodline.

As both are pure-blooded Iceborn, it is said that Sunafa has the blood of Boreas, so why is it that in his case it is Anivia?
As far as he knew, none of the first generation of war mothers of the three ancient Iceborn tribes, the Frostguard, the True Ice, and the Winter Claw, was named Anivia.

So, what kind of person is this Anivia? The bloodline he left behind can actually purify the mixed blood in his body and allow him to obtain the True Ice Bloodline?
Faced with Gaode's sudden question, Sunaifa was slightly stunned, blinked, and fell into thought.

After quickly searching in her mind, she shook her head and said, "My king, I have never heard of this name either."

She apologized, “Although the Zhenbing tribe is the oldest Iceborn tribe in the North, many books and heritage have been lost over the years.

Perhaps the information about Anivia is hidden in these lost heritage and history."

"If you don't know, then you don't know. It doesn't matter." Gao De has a very good attitude.

No matter who this Anivia is, he is an antique from ancient times. His body has long turned to ashes, and there is no need to find out his identity.

The main thing is that people feel refreshed when happy things happen.

"My king, when you awakened your Zhenbing bloodline, it caused some commotion." Sunaifa briefly introduced to Gaode what had just happened.

"Phoenix, I have already passed on the news that the vision originated from you. I believe that in the near future, not only all the Iceborn tribes in the North, but at least the Hammer of Winter and the Frostwolf Clan will know that you have awakened your True Icy Bloodline."

"In the past, they refused to recognize you as the new king of the North because you were a foreigner. This will no longer be allowed."

The meaning of Sunaifa's action is actually very clear.

It is equivalent to forced uterus.

Use the general situation to force the emperor to abdicate.

However, she also knew what Gode did not want to see, so she explained first: "Yarna and Helica were both defeated by me. After the last fight, they were very clear about the gap in combat power between them and me, and they certainly did not dare to take the initiative to use force." Yarna and Helica are the war mothers of the Hammer of Winter and the Frostwolf clan respectively.

Sunaifa was referring to the last time she fought one against two and easily suppressed the two War Mothers.

"You will be the leader in matters concerning the northern tribes." Gao De nodded slightly without any opinion.

He is mainly responsible for the development planning of the North, which is his expertise.

Because he has ideas, experiences and knowledge that this world does not have, and he also inherits extraordinary knowledge that is enough to change the world.

But when it comes to the unification of the northern border, Sunaifa is the main force.

She was born and raised in the Northern Iceborn, had a deep understanding of the various tribes in the North, had experienced a political struggle, and had outstanding ruling abilities.

Most importantly, she is a great fighter.

It is equivalent to Gao De being a civil official and Sunaifa being a military general.

Development is the job of civil officials, while unification is the job of military generals.

The ring was raised and successfully completed without any trouble.

Joy is there for sure, but not too much.

After all, with such conditions and resources, it would be unacceptable if the upgrade failed.

The first thing Godd did after being promoted to the second ring was to have someone take out the second ring spell formulas from Phoenix's treasury.

The problem is still the same. The North was previously populated by Iceborn wizards, and there has never been a need to build spell models by themselves to master spells, so the number of spell formulas collected is extremely small.

Phoenix still has some first-ring spell formulas in his collection, and the second-ring spell formulas are basically all confiscated after the destruction of the Snowfield Guardian.

Anyway, in the end, there were only six second-level spell recipes that could be used immediately in Gaode's hands:

[Beast Sense], [Summon Mount], [Bloody Face], [Light Armor], [Spider Web Shelter], [Hound Tracking].

The quantity is not large, but the advantage is that since they all come from the Snowfield Guardians, the required spells and potions are either ready-made or the main and auxiliary materials can be found in the North.

The number of stars in a second-level spell model is between 200 and 250.

This level of complexity meant that it would take Gaode more than a week to master a second-level spell. He could no longer master several first-level spells in a day like he could when he was a first-level spell holder.

Of course, Gao De doesn't lack this little time. He doesn't have a three-year agreement, nor is the deadline approaching. He can just take his time.

Even after the successful upgrade, Gaode still focused its main energy on the development and construction of Phoenix.

In Gaode's plan, many ideas about the future of the North are actually stuck in the growth progress of trees, making it impossible to advance their implementation for the time being.

Although one of the abilities of "Aoki Changshengjing" is the natural technique, which allows the wizard to use it to promote the growth of trees and skip the long growth period of trees.

But as the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person.

Trees are long-lived, and even a common tree often takes more than ten years to grow from a seed to a usable maturity.

With such a long growth period, the amount of magical power required to induce birth and skip it is enormous.

Originally, because the Iceborn mages in the North all practiced the "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra", they already had a relatively high level of mages and abundant magical powers.

Therefore, even if you have just started to practice "Qingmu Changshengjing", you can rely on your high-level wizard level to perform natural magic unscrupulously.

However, the ability of natural arts can only be obtained after forming a contract with a sacred object.

It is easy to practice the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, but it is not easy to find a suitable holy object.

With the vigorous promotion of Gode and Sunaifa, in Phoenix, at least ninety-nine percent, if not a hundred percent, of the Iceborn mages began to study the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra as well.

Due to the restriction of the need to form a contract with a holy object, although the number of Ice Wizards who practiced the "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra" in Phoenix has reached nearly 20,000, the number of Ice Wizards who mastered the "Art of Nature" is less than 200.

Neither Gaode nor Sunaifa could do anything about this.

Magic trees are rare creatures.

However, since the contract with the sacred object requires the consent of the magic tree, in most cases the contract can only be made with newborn magic tree seedlings or magic tree seeds.

This further increases the difficulty of finding the sacred object of the covenant.

The most practical way is to cultivate the magic tree seeds yourself.

Relying on wild magic tree species to meet the needs of forming a pact is absolutely wishful thinking for the huge number of Iceborn mages in the North.

Godard understood this from the beginning, so he always wanted Flora to pay attention and try in this direction.

But whether it is plants or organisms, they all have one characteristic: the higher the level, the more difficult it is to reproduce offspring.

For example, according to Flora, there is no possibility for Yugathira to breed offspring.

There is only one Yugathira in the entire world.

Although the Ice Jade Wutong is not as magical as Yugathira, it is equally demanding in reproducing offspring.

The way it reproduces is through its own division.

After the division, the origin will suffer irreparable damage, cutting off the possibility of advancement.

Therefore, the Ice Jade Wutong will only divide when facing a survival crisis.

Of course, Gaode was not greedy enough to want all Iceborn mages to be able to form a bond with a magic tree of this grade.

According to his idea, it would be enough to have a second-level magic tree species with a stable output.

After all, even in the Zhenbing tribe, the number of Iceborn mages with second-ring level and above did not exceed two thousand.

But it's not easy either.

If it really doesn't work, I can only use the first-level magic tree species. Gao De pondered for a long time, tapped the table with his knuckles, and said to himself.

There is no sign of a stable-yielding second-order magic tree yet, but in the current northern border, there does exist a stable-yielding first-order magic tree species—the gem sweet berries he obtained using the [Divine Berry Technique].

One-ringed Iceborn mages are the majority, and forming a pact with a first-level demon tree species is not a compromise in essence.

However, God always hopes to help the Ice Mage strive for a brighter future.

There is a huge difference between the object of the pact between a grassroots Iceborn mage and a first-level magic tree species or a second-level magic tree species.

A strong tribe would bring endless benefits to him.

Therefore, if it is not a last resort, Gaode does not want to use the gem sweetberry tree species that is destined to be unable to advance and has extremely limited prospects as the holy relic of the Ice Mage's covenant.

But God certainly won't waste the Gemberry.

In his plan, the gem sweetberry seeds will be the cornerstone of promoting universal wizard education.
What Gao De never expected was that the problem that was giving him a headache in the morning would turn around in the afternoon.
