The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

As the figure of the Temple Master of the Mage Temple departed, Yu Kong continued to silently peruse the spellbook beside him, except that several level-six spellbooks were floating around him at the same time.

Since arriving on the Holy Demon Continent, Yu Kong has learned that nearly ten thousand years have passed since the last war between humans and demons.

Although Huo Yuhao had heard of the existence of the Throne of Seal 2 in his previous life, he did not test the poison on himself as Shennong, and he did not pay much attention to news about it.

What we know is that the protagonist of this new Throne of Seals is likely to have a significant connection with Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution.

Judging from the fact that he's known for adding three spoonfuls of sugar, Yu Kong estimates that his arrival at this point in time is probably several decades earlier than the main storyline.

After all, the author likes to use ten thousand years as the starting point for a stage, although each novel's ten thousand years actually feels like it doesn't even cover a hundred years of development.

"Hmm, I used my divine sense to perceive it briefly upon arrival, and the Holy Demon Continent doesn't seem to have its own plane of consciousness, which is clearly unreasonable for such a vast plane."

While recording and deducing the knowledge in the magic book through his mental power, Yu Kong pondered, 'Furthermore, without a plane of consciousness, it would be difficult to use the power of a plane of consciousness to search for the reincarnation of Austin Griffin.'

"However, the traces of 'gods' in the Holy Demon Continent are far more numerous than in the previous Douluo Continent. Many 'gods' exist in the world who have merged with the laws of nature, including the elemental spirits, who are also manifestations of 'gods.'"

"Compared to simple elemental spirits, these 'gods' are much more troublesome. A wisp of their divine sense drifts over every now and then. Although they don't have direct power, avoiding them is still quite troublesome."

"Furthermore, considering Austin Griffin's mastery of all nine attributes, if we add the divine power of the Holy Demon Continent to his aid, even if I were to use new magic to deal with him later, it would be quite troublesome."

"And this world also has its creator god, but he is much harder to reach. If you want to control this world, the best approach is to start with Austin Griffin and seize his power as the God of Retribution in order to fight against the creator god."

"And we also need to pay close attention to Long Haochen, that guy who survived from over nine thousand years ago. Although he has 999,999 spiritual power, his strength in the Holy Demon Continent should be no less than that of an ordinary first-level god."

"Furthermore, with the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation inscribed on it, in order not to attract the attention of the Creator God too early, I can only use the power I obtained from this world. Alas, it seems I still need a long time to prepare."

Thinking of this, Yu Kong felt a little worried. However, he then remembered a piece of news he had heard before: "Undead creatures are appearing in the western coastal areas. Hmm, it's not useful for now, but I can try to make contact with them after my strength fully advances to the ninth rank."

"This should be the main storyline at this stage. After all, the demon race has been wiped out, the God of Divine Punishment has been reincarnated, and under the surveillance of the Holy Temple Federation, nothing major has happened on the entire continent."

"If something truly dramatic happens, it'll either be an interdimensional invasion, or they'll drag Electrox back out and whip his corpse."

"But there's no rush now. The most important thing right now is to accumulate knowledge about spell structures."

Yu Kong has now mastered and disassembled approximately 35,321 different first-level spell structures, and is recombining them.

At this moment, Yu Kongming's apparent strength is only at the sixth ring, but if he were to fight against spellcasters or similar professionals...

Even if the opponent is a level nine magic god, as long as their strength does not reach 500,000 spiritual power, Yu Kong is qualified to fight them head-on.

Because at this point, Yu Kong's understanding of magic far surpassed that of all other magicians in the world.

After all, although his true form, Huo Yuhao, was not a specialist in magic, he had countless subordinates testing combinations of rune arrays and magic arrays to serve him.

Moreover, he inherited the memories of the most talented necromancer, the Holy God of Death, and the Calamity of the Undead, Elex, in history, in addition to his foundation as an innate deity.

Therefore, in terms of concepts, accumulation, and understanding, Yu Kong only needs to make slight modifications to make these experiences fit into the magic system of this world and operate accordingly. Moreover, the spiritual power that is most important to Yu Kong's concepts can be replaced by divine sense.

The quality of divine sense far surpasses the quantity of spiritual power, so all Yu Kong needs to do now is simply accumulate knowledge, and his cultivation level will be able to continuously climb upwards on its own until it reaches its limit.

Using one's divine sense to manipulate spiritual power, or even the power of others, to construct magical structures and cast spells.

If the opponent's spiritual power is below 500,000, then it is impossible to simply and brutally use powerful spiritual power to forcibly shatter space and crush the universe.

As long as there is a spellcasting process, Yu Kong can forcibly tamper with the magic cast by the other party through divine sense and by modifying spatial coordinates, and use it for his own purposes. The stronger the magic cast by the other party, the greater the backlash will be.

If a forbidden spell is cast and then suffers a backlash, even a god of magic will perish on the spot.

"However, dealing with those physical-based professionals is still quite troublesome. It's a headache. At this rate, it will take at least another ten years to fully master the knowledge of ninth-tier magic and achieve mastery of all magic."

"And this is even with the Mage's Temple possessing sufficient knowledge reserves. However, the number of books on the sixth floor is now significantly less than on the previous floors, and there are also many duplicate spell structures appearing."

"Maybe in less than a month I'll be able to go directly to the seventh floor. My knowledge base is still far too lacking. Does that mean I'll have to deduce things myself from now on? That would definitely take a lot of time."

"I just hope that this magical revolution by that old man, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple, will be somewhat effective."

"If enough low-level mages help with the deductions, we should be able to create quite a few novel spells to fill out my spell structure."

"Or perhaps I should adjust my approach and create a mage tower, letting its spirit deduce new spell structures for me?"

Yu Kong frowned and put down the level six magic book he had already read and understood. This magic analysis was not ideal, because there were only three novel spell structures in these level six magic books that Yu Kong had never recorded before.

"Apart from Elex, the entire magic system of the Holy Demon Continent still uses the war magic system from nine thousand years ago. The records and construction methods of the mage tower have long been lost to the dustbin of history."

"If we were to build a mage tower from scratch, the basic defensive spells, spatial expansion spells, guardian golem creation, material refining, and site selection wouldn't be particularly difficult problems."

"But the most important and crucial aspect is creating a tower spirit with complete logical thinking, far surpassing that of an ordinary magician, which is very troublesome."

"While theoretically the best method would be to directly capture powerful individuals with sufficiently strong mental strength, extract their mental energy and personality will, and then use them as tower spirits, the identity of this Holy Son of the Mage Temple still has some use for him at present."

"This method is too unorthodox to be brought to the forefront for now."

"As for other methods, elemental spirits are too weak, and magical beast souls are not very intelligent either. Splitting one's own soul would result in too much loss, and the Wisdom Furnace would be uncontrollable." Amidst the collision of thoughts, Yu Kong ultimately couldn't come up with any good solutions.

Since a suitable solution can't be found in the short term, let's just use the most basic method.

Yu Kong's figure disappeared into the Great Library, and the magic books that had been floating beside him returned to their original positions.

The Temple of the Magicians, the Temple Warehouse.

This place was originally only accessible to the temple elders, and it stored a large amount of resources from the Mage Temple, although the most important resources of the six temples, such as the Wisdom Furnace, were not stored here.

However, unauthorized persons are also not qualified to approach this place.

Upon seeing Yu Kong suddenly appear before them, the two eighth-tier mages were initially taken aback, but then recognized him: "Greetings, Holy Son. May we ask what brings you here?"

Yu Kong nodded and said, "I need to conduct an experiment and collect a batch of supplies. Please register them."

Then Yu Kong simply passed by the two of them and walked towards the warehouse. The two of them were used to this, after all, since the establishment of the Holy Son, everyone knew Yu Kong's transcendent status in the Temple of Magicians.

Even the elders had to treat Yu Kong as an equal and show him considerable respect, since everyone knew that Yu Kong was probably already a candidate for the next temple master in the eyes of the temple master.

At first, many people were unconvinced, but as Yu Kong demonstrated his talent and created a unique and widely applicable spatial magic, they gradually changed their minds.

Once it allows even those with low affinity for spatial elements to unleash mysterious and powerful spatial magic, everything will be fine.

After all, with the emergence of general-purpose spatial magic, the status of the Mage Temple within the Temple Federation has risen significantly.

Nowadays, stable long-distance large-scale space teleportation arrays have been widely adopted, compared to the old teleportation arrays that could only support short-distance teleportation and had extremely high construction requirements and resource consumption.

The new teleportation arrays are cheap, durable, and have a long effective range. They can now even enable directional teleportation between cities, rather than being limited to use within cities.

Its strategic significance is extraordinary, and each use of the teleportation array requires a certain amount of money, which has made the Mage Temple very wealthy, especially with the popularization of long-distance large-scale spatial teleportation arrays.

Nowadays, ordinary professionals are no longer limited to traveling to one city or one place. Every day, a huge flow of people moves through the Holy Demon Continent, and the teleportation fees collected are a huge sum of money.

Furthermore, there are maintenance, repairs, expansions, reconstructions, and so on, all of which require the intervention of the Mage Temple to complete.

Furthermore, in situations such as carrying out missions in the wild, who wouldn't want to quickly evacuate through a mage's teleportation portal? Under such circumstances, mages naturally become highly sought after.

With the popularization of general-purpose spatial magic, the functionality and number of spatial mages are far greater than in previous eras. Now, even mages who specialize in other attribute schools will also learn some useful general-purpose spatial magic.

Examples include storage space, teleportation, instant teleportation, telekinesis, and so on.

However, compared to the ease and freedom with which its founder, Yu Kong, used it, the biggest disadvantage of the popularized general-purpose space magic is probably its casting time and energy consumption, making it far more difficult to use than ordinary magic.

Then, Yu Kong would also improve and update the spatial magic he launched from time to time, which naturally required a lot of resources.

Therefore, the Temple Master of the Mage Temple had already granted Yu Kong access to the resources in the Mage Temple's warehouse. Yu Kong could freely take and use the resources in the warehouse, and he could record them afterwards. However, if he needed resources of a higher level, he would need to spend merit points to apply to the Temple Federation.

However, Yu Kong's merits are constantly increasing every moment because of the universal spatial magic he introduced. As long as someone exchanges for the universal spatial magic formula to learn, as long as someone uses the teleportation array.

Accumulating merit bit by bit, even the Temple Master of the Mage Temple said that he had accumulated so much merit over most of his life that it was only as much as Yu Kong currently possessed.

"These, these, and these, I don't want any of these." Yu Kong casually picked out a few items and said, "Wrap up all the other mithril, monster blood, bones, and scales for me. Remember to restock later, I might have to come back for more."

Upon hearing this, an eighth-tier mage standing nearby twitched his lips and said with some difficulty, "Your Highness, do you need so many materials this time? This..."

"The old man has already given me the authority, just write it down for me. If someone needs to exchange for supplies later, just transfer them from other branch halls. The merit points spent on transferring the supplies through the teleportation array will be on me."

Yu Kong casually waved his hand, while another eighth-tier mage beside him, quite perceptively, said, "Then, Holy Son, there are quite a lot of supplies, and we can't gather that many storage items in a short time. Shall we deliver them to you?"

"Just take him to the usual place, as soon as possible." With that, Yu Kong disappeared from their sight once again.

"I can't even see the fluctuations of spatial elements. Sigh, this holy son's understanding of the spatial realm is truly terrifying."

"Yes, but isn't the most terrifying thing that this holy son is only thirteen years old?"

"Sixth-tier strength, creation of versatile spatial magic, status as a holy son, and innate spiritual power of 200—truly enviable."
