Chapter 1754: Chapter 586: Forcing Ducks onto the Rack_5
“Panta Warriors! These five old men are Dinghu Immortal Masters! They are true masters, top-notch experts who disdain the use of magical artifacts!” Yi Tiao sneakily told Old Liu, “This level is equivalent to the Aegean Magic Tutor.”
“I just heard from the Fifth Prince that the Tang Zang Court has a total of ten Immortal Elders. It seems that the Tang Zang Empire, which governs an entire Silk Continent, is much stronger than our Aegean in comprehensive strength.” Liu Zhenhuan originally said this to the five Magic Tutors, but after glancing at the Fourth Prince and Xiao Kong and Xiao Jing, he wondered if he should add a few more to the total number of top mages in Tang Zang?
“Your Majesty.” The Fifth Prince walked to Old Liu’s side with folded arms and bowed with a smile, “Our Silk, like the Aegean, divides magic according to the traditional gold, wood, water, fire, and earth systems, but these five Elders are different. They independently created five new types of magic in the form of zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and wine!”
Upon hearing the Fifth Prince’s simple introduction, most of the Aegean guests rolled their eyes.
The number of natural elements is limited, and those that could be developed have long been developed. What is the origin of these new types of magic? Is it just formality with no real change, or a unique path of elements?
“Pardon the display.” Seeing the collective look of astonishment on the Aegean guests, the Fifth Prince felt he had achieved his objective and merrily clapped his hands to signal the start of the performance.
Tamerlarya’s reputation isn’t just talk; the Tang Zang court mages stunned the Aegean guests from the very start.
An old Silk mage with long, bushy eyebrows used his purple-gold gourd to summon a row of crystal-clear water arrows in the ethereal air; these sharp water arrows fanned out obliquely, and half of them suddenly burst into a mighty light blue wave of fire, while the other half of the clear water arrows shot skywards in a “Y” shape!
Half are clear water? The other half are flames?
Amidst the inebriating aroma of intoxicating wine, all the Aegean guests were left wide-eyed in surprise. This was the wine-based magic of the Silk Continent!
This wine magic achieved what the Aegean Magic could never penetrate — the fusion of water and fire!
Wine producing fire isn’t hard to understand since the Panta Warriors also have combat skills involving flames generated by the friction of wine and air, but what the Aegean guests couldn’t comprehend was — how did the Silk mages resonate with wine elements?
There are no wine elements in nature!
Whether it’s the Great Magician or the Dragon Clan, they couldn’t grasp how this element, against natural laws, was summoned.
It was the experienced Old Liu who reminded everyone that there actually is a wine element, even on the Aegean Continent.
The desert drunk turtles living in the underground Wine Spring of the Taklamago Desert contributed several Turtle Beads to Feilengcui — the underground Wine Spring wasn’t man-made, was it?
Liu Zhenhuan was drawing on a cigar as he said this, his demeanor just like that of a Lord Saint Xiao: “First, you must dare to let your imagination fly and bravely put it into practice! We can’t just rely on our limited knowledge to arbitrarily decide what’s possible and what’s not.” New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⸺fire.net
The deeds of Ventéclair taught many to understand this principle, and even if the Lord Saint Xiao didn’t say it, others understood just the same.
The subsequent Zither Magic was even more overwhelming.
The Aegean guests guessed at least one thing right; Zither Magic indeed released various forms of Sonic Blades by plucking the zither strings.
This approach was exactly the same as that of the Pearl Seven-string Zither used in the Summer Palace rituals.
However, the Summer Palace rituals utilized the “Tears of the Tintinnabula” harmony. Although the “Teardrop Water Arrow” it released was powered by the voice instead of magic power, its essence was still of the water element, beyond doubt.
But the Silk Continent’s Zither Magic master was different. His released Sonic Blades were a muddy yellow, extremely agile and ethereal, and judging from the degree of air distortion, it seemed even hotter than volcanic lava!
The mermaids, naturally attuned to the Water Element, affirmed that these muddy yellow Sonic Blades were indeed of the Water Element!
The question arose, muddy yellow Water Element was never seen in Aegean history, and high-temperature water blades were unheard of.
The Fifth Prince unveiled the secret: this was the Miao Blade — according to Aegean Magic theory, an upper-tier Water Element.
The Miao Blade possessed an incredibly terrifying sauna-like high steam heat exclusive to Zither Magic and could only be summoned through a guqin; no other method could comprehend or practice it.
After this heavy blow, it was the turn for Calligraphy Magic, causing the Aegean guests’ expressions to become increasingly grave.
An old Silk mage with a chiselled face wielded a large brush, inscribing one mysterious Silk seal script character after another in the air, each clearly appearing in the void. The old mage exquisitely moved his pen and plucked the characters with his fingers, causing each gaseous seal character to whistle through the air like an air bomb.
The more complex the strokes of the gaseous script characters, the more astounding their power.
Whenever collective sentences shot in rapid succession, it startlingly formed a large magic chain.
Could Qi Magic be used ?
This form of release was truly astonishing! It even skipped chanting, relying solely on “writing”!
Even more astonishing was yet to come!
The old mage with the chiselled face had a sheet of white paper brought forth, first tearing off a corner by hand, displaying it to the Aegean guests to verify that it was just ordinary paper; then, he skillfully wielded a mighty pen across the paper, inscribing a faint line of gaseous seal characters.
