Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 183 The Natural Texture of the Dragon Egg, Mist Feather Advances

It is more than 100 kilometers away from Owo Castle.

The place where Pei Ze killed three Pei family wizards.

Two figures draped in gray cloaks suddenly appeared in the sky, frowning as they looked around.

One of the taller figures said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is the place where Yuri's spiritual imprint last dissipated."

"I can sense that there are still lingering shadow energy fluctuations here, as well as the aura of our family's Yugro Serpent bloodline."

The other person narrowed his eyes, and his expression immediately became serious.

"It seems Yuri and the others have met with some misfortune. This is troublesome."

Both of them fell silent, their brows furrowed.

Although neither Yuri nor his companions carried any clues that would reveal their family's hiding place, and they believed that Yuri and his companions would never reveal this information, even so, they could still deduce some information from Yuri and his companions that was detrimental to their family, which could potentially bring unnecessary trouble.

A moment later, the tall, thin man in the cloak broke the silence.

"Can we find the person who killed Yuri?"

Pei Xingxu said in a deep voice, "I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a crystal ball instantly appeared in his palm.

As he pressed his palm against the surface of the crystal ball, a shimmering light immediately appeared.

After two or three minutes, Pei Xingxu withdrew his hand and shook his head at Pei Shijie.

"No, the prophecy spell won't work; the opponent's mental strength is no less than mine."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shijie's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "A level three wizard?"

Those who can render Pei Xingxu's prophecy ineffective are either beings at level four or above, or level three wizards like him.

Judging from the disordered mental state left at the scene, the latter possibility is undoubtedly greater.

"They are most likely targeting us."

"That's most likely the case, otherwise there would be no need to take the bodies with them after killing Yuri and the others."

Only wizards who want to claim the reward from the Dawn City wanted poster will take the corpse as proof of the kill.

"What do we do next?" Pei Xingxu asked Pei Shijie.

The latter's eyes flickered for a moment, then he said in a deep voice, "Report this matter to the family first, and let the higher-ups make a decision."

"Our mission is to capture the flock of Nether Crows. Let's deal with this first before we think about anything else."

Pei Xingxu could only nod, his face somewhat grim as he said, "Damn the Dawn Council! We've already come all the way to the Shadow Realm, and they still won't let us go!"

Pei Shijie shook his head slightly: "There's no point in talking about this now. What we can do is to quickly research a method to perfectly fuse with the evil creature. If we succeed, we'll be able to counterattack Dawn City sooner or later and take revenge on the Dawn Council!"

"That's right." Pei Xingxu's expression eased slightly, then became excited. "The experiment has now entered a critical stage. As long as we can find a way to increase the fusion of the power of shadow and the aggregate of evil thoughts, the research progress will definitely increase significantly."

Pei Shijie smiled and said, "The power of death and the power of shadow are quite similar in nature, and they are among the purest negative energies. They are highly compatible with the aggregate of evil thoughts. With the power of death acting as a medium to neutralize these two forces, we can greatly reduce the repulsion. Perhaps we will soon be able to create a completely new bloodline."

The two seemed very excited when this was mentioned.

Over the past century, the Pei family has spent countless hours and energy, taking enormous risks, to finally advance the experiment to this point.

They are now just one step away from completing the experiment. Once the experiment is finished, the family will be able to create a new bloodline, thus breaking free from the shackles of the Yugro Serpent bloodline and reaching a higher level.

"Let's go, hurry up and take down that flock of Nether Crows, lest things get complicated," Pei Shijie said in a deep voice.

Without further delay, the two turned around and headed towards the valley they had previously explored.

Deep in the valley.

Inside a makeshift cave.

Su Ya and Peng Yan sat near the cave entrance, keeping a close watch on the situation outside, occasionally glancing back at the cave entrance.

Both of them were enveloped in a very faint halo, constantly covered by elemental power, resisting the erosion of the aura of death.

It was only thanks to the fact that both of them had already broken through to the third-tier legendary realm and had awakened dual elemental power early on, possessing abundant energy, that they were able to maintain their current appearance for three consecutive days.

An ordinary Tier 3 legendary knight would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Deep inside the cave, Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the data in the void before him.

【Spirit 212.07】

[Body Condition 181.67]

During the few days he entered the Shadow Realm, Pei Ze continued his daily meditation as always.

However, the growth of mental strength is still somewhat slow, and it is still a long way from reaching the 384 energy level, which is the standard for crystallization.

At this rate, he estimates it will take about two more years to break through to the secondary crystallization stage.

To be honest, this speed of improvement in strength is already exceptionally fast compared to that of an ordinary level two wizard. It's faster than riding a rocket, but Pei Ze is still not satisfied.

"We still need to find a way to collect some rare items that can increase mental strength."

Pei Ze then looked at the physical attributes.

The Omniscient Breathing Technique has twelve levels. Starting from the seventh level, each breakthrough allows you to advance to a higher realm.

In other words, as long as he breaks through to the eighth level, he can advance to the fifth-tier legendary knight.

According to Pei Ze's estimation, one's physique needs to increase to at least 250 points in order to break through to the eighth level of the Omniscient Breathing Technique.

He's not in a hurry about that.

Before breaking through to the second level of crystallization, the Omniscient Breathing Technique can definitely be cultivated to the eighth level.

"The twelfth level of the Omniscient Breathing Technique corresponds to a ninth-tier legendary knight. To go any higher and maintain the current cultivation speed, I would have to create a new technique," Pei Ze pondered to himself.

However, this is not urgent either.

The Omniscient Breathing Technique is enough for him to break through to the Elemental Wizard level. After advancing to the Elemental Wizard level, he will naturally be able to access more hidden knowledge. At that time, with the Omniscient Eye, it will not be difficult for him to create new techniques.

Coming to his senses, Pei Ze touched the dimensional bag in his sleeve.

The bodies of the three Pei family wizards who were killed a few days ago are kept in the dimensional bag.

Because all three of them had fused with evil beings, their blood had long been contaminated, so Pei Ze had no intention of extracting their blood to create bloodline imprints.

"What a pity, otherwise the blood of three level-two wizards could have been used to refine at least eight or nine bloodline imprints, and their power would definitely be stronger than Pei Zhanqing's blood back then."

Pei Ze felt somewhat regretful.

Although he still has five Silverfrost Direwolves bloodline imprints, you can never have too many trump cards.

"And the dragon egg of the Shadow Dragon."

With a thought, Pei Ze conjured up a dragon egg about a meter tall on the ground in front of him, emitting a faint, cold light in the dim cave.

The jet-black eggshell looks like a slowly flowing shadow, but upon closer inspection, one can discover countless barely perceptible silver lines beneath the deep black, faintly forming some kind of mysterious runes.

"The natural rune patterns may be the secret to the great power that dragons possess from birth."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue in amazement.

After observing intently for a moment, Pei Ze discovered that the dragon egg seemed to be continuously absorbing energy particles from the surrounding air.

However, perhaps the aura of death in the valley was too strong, resulting in a scarcity of other energy particles, so the sensation was not very noticeable.

Pei Ze immediately made a plan, used his magic to grab the dragon egg, and left the cave to come to the outside of the valley.

Once away from the valley and free from the aura of death, the dragon egg absorbed energy particles at a significantly faster rate.

"Sure enough, this natural rune can continuously and automatically absorb surrounding energy particles, and the baby dragon will be born only after absorbing enough energy particles."

"No wonder the Shadow Dragon's egg takes at least ten or twenty years to hatch."

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If this rune were improved, could the hatching time of the Shadow Dragon egg be shortened?

Even enhancing the initial strength and potential of young dragons?

Even more so, could these natural runes be applied to wizards, allowing them to continuously and automatically absorb energy particles 24 hours a day, instead of only being able to absorb energy particles during meditation?

If possible, wouldn't mental strength be able to grow continuously?

Pei Ze's eyes lit up immediately.

Worth a try!

"Omniscient, draw inspiration from the natural patterns on dragon eggs to create a rune that allows my spiritual crystals to continuously and automatically absorb energy particles."

[Task created. Beginning the creation of runes that automatically absorb energy particles. Estimated requirement: 26833 energy-level mental power]

Pei Ze frowned.

This requires an enormous amount of mental energy.

Even if he accelerates at full speed, it will still take him at least four months to complete.

But on second thought, if such a rune were successfully created, it would be an invention that would shock the wizarding world, so it wouldn't be surprising that it would consume so much mental energy.

"It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer. As long as I succeed, the time it takes for me to break through to the second level of crystallization will be greatly shortened."

Pei Ze smiled with delight.

After regaining his senses, he issued new instructions.

"Omniscient, improve the natural texture of the Shadow Dragon's egg, enhance the efficiency of absorbing energy particles, thereby shortening the hatching time and increasing the initial strength and potential of the young dragon."

[Task created to improve the natural texture of the dragon egg; estimated requirement: 4721 level of mental energy]

Pei Ze nodded secretly. This task required far less mental energy, and twenty days would be enough to complete it.

However, rune-related tasks should be prioritized for now.

The sooner he creates new runes, the sooner he can break through to the next level.

After putting away the dragon egg, Pei Ze turned and returned to the cave.

The moment he stepped into the cave, his expression suddenly changed, and in a flash, he arrived deep inside the cave, gazing intently at the sleeping mist feather in the corner.

Under his gaze, Wuyu's eyelids twitched slightly, then slowly opened, revealing cold, calm pupils.

It wasn't until her eyes rolled and she saw Pei Ze beside her that a hint of human affection flashed in her cold pupils.

"Little guy, how are you feeling?" Pei Ze smiled and stroked Wu Yu's feathers.

He could clearly feel the surging energy flowing within this small body.

That was a powerful force that even made him slightly startled!

After devouring more than a thousand Nether Ravens, Mist Feather's death power had clearly increased to an astonishing level.

"dumb!"

With a cry, Wu Yu flapped its wings, and the aura of death in the surrounding air seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, rushing towards it and entering its body.

In an instant, the aura of death in the cave was completely absorbed.

Pei Ze's eyes lit up immediately. Just by looking at this scene, he knew that Wu Yu's strength had improved significantly. He estimated that its combat power was now probably comparable to that of a level three wizard.

"It's a pity there's no suitable candidate for you to test your skills in practice."

Pei Ze was slightly disappointed, as the level four monster summoning spell could only summon otherworldly creatures at the level of level two vaporization.

To summon a level three otherworldly creature, one would need at least a level six monster summoning skill.

"Should we find some homeless people for you to practice on?" Pei Ze murmured to himself.

Wuyu flapped its wings, looking somewhat eager to try.

Just then, Pei Ze seemed to sense something, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked outside.

Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were guarding the cave entrance, also stood up at the same time, looking warily into the distance.

"Sir, someone is here."

Pei Xingxu and Pei Shijie stared in astonishment at the empty valley.

Where are the crows of the underworld?

"Could they have migrated?" Pei Xingxu said with a furrowed brow.

"Impossible!" Pei Shijie denied without hesitation. "Within a radius of over a thousand kilometers, there's only this one place with such a dense aura of death. The Netherworld Ravens couldn't possibly migrate away so easily, unless..."

Pei Shijie didn't finish his sentence, but Pei Xingxu already understood.

Unless a powerful foreign invader seizes the territory, forcing the Dark Raven to migrate.

Or perhaps someone else acted first and captured the flock of Netherworld Crows.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, the latter possibility is more likely.

After all, the pitted valley had clearly just experienced a major battle, yet not a single Nether Raven corpse was left behind. It was obvious that the person who attacked was after the Nether Ravens, not for territory.

"Someone's there!" Pei Shijie suddenly looked up and gazed to his right.

Pei Xingxu quickly sensed the unfamiliar presence and turned to look. He saw a tall figure slowly rising into the sky, wearing a silver mask and with a crow perched on his shoulder.

In addition, there is a man and a woman below.

However, upon discovering that the two were merely legendary knights with only third or fourth-tier strength, Pei Shijie and Pei Xingxu immediately lost interest and turned their attention to the unfamiliar man in front of them.

"wizard."

Sensing the other party's mental energy field, Pei Shijie frowned almost imperceptibly.

Right now, the last person he wants to encounter is a wizard.

What surprised and puzzled him even more was the crow on the other person's shoulder.

For some reason, that crow gave him a very dangerous feeling!

He had never felt this way, not even when facing the entire flock of Netherworld Crows.

"Who are you, and where is the flock of Netherworld Crows here?" Pei Shijie asked in a deep voice.

Pei Ze glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Before asking others, you should first state your background."

Pei Shijie frowned slightly, exchanged a glance with Pei Xingxu, and slowly said, "We are wizards from another plane. We are here to capture the flock of Netherworld Crows in the valley."

"That's unfortunate, I've already dealt with the flock of ghost crows here."

Pei Shijie and Pei Xingxu's expressions changed upon hearing this.

They were counting on capturing the flock of ghost crows in the valley to advance their experiment, but now someone else had beaten them to it, filling them with shock and anger.

The flock of Nether Crows is already rare, and it's anyone's guess when we'll find another one in the vast Shadow Realm.

Pei Xingxu's face was extremely gloomy. He was about to question him when he noticed Pei Shijie winking at him, signaling him to look at the crow on the other man's shoulder.

Pei Xingxu was slightly taken aback, looked closely, and after a moment, a thought struck him.

Such a strong aura of death!

Suddenly, he vaguely understood that what the other party meant by dealing with the flock of Netherworld Crows was probably all used on this crow.

In the wizarding world, there are many methods of using similar magical creatures to enhance magical pets; the other party probably used a similar method.

Pei Xingxu and Pei Shijie exchanged a glance, and immediately made a plan in their hearts.

Without the flock of ghost crows, using this crow as a substitute doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Judging from its appearance, this crow is clearly much stronger than the Nether Raven, and the experimental results may be even better.

Thinking of this, Pei Shijie's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Sir, I wonder if you would be willing to sell that crow demon pet? The price is negotiable."

I'm asking for your votes for next month at the beginning of the month, thank you everyone!
