I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 766 The Third Speaker's Invitation

Kane's Floating City
Li Si almost didn't react when he heard Aurelion's words.

The Speaker asked me to go to the Pan-Continental Buddhist Association?

Who asked me to go?

Oh, the association's chairman.
Ok?
Which speaker?

Li Si looked at Aurelion and asked with some confusion;
"Which president contacted me?"

The Pancontinental Mage Association is controlled by its internal Legendary Council, and every legendary mage in the association is a member of the council.

Many powerful supernatural forces in the Gaia world have similar power structures.

The Pancontinental Mage Association's legendary council has three chairpersons.

Li Si had previously learned from his teacher that these three were Osiris Cronus, the Lord of Time's Mark; Stephens Fran, the Flame of Judgment; and Akantha Tarindra, the Astral Weaver.

Professor Stephens is the second speaker of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

However, judging from the conversation between Li Si and Professor Stephens, it seems that he doesn't care about the so-called speaker's position at all.

For many in the Pan-Continental Mage Association, the position of speaker is a coveted power.

But to Mr. Stephens, it was an insignificant external thing.

Given the teacher's abilities, he certainly has the right to treat the Pan-Continental Mage Association in this way.

Basically, Professor Stephens rarely goes to the Pancontinental Mage Council, as do the other two chairmen.

In particular, there is the First Speaker, Osiris Cronus, the Lord of Time's Mark. This Speaker has existed for an unknown amount of time, even longer than some gods.

Even Professor Stephens had never met the First Speaker, let alone anyone else.

If it weren't for this special time-travel prop left in the association, one might even think that the First Speaker was a fabrication created to deter foreign enemies.

Therefore, there has always been a rumor in the association that this First Speaker has been wandering in the river of time in the Gaia world, and his true form is the legendary Time Dragon.

However, no one has ever confirmed this.

Li Si also discovered from the historical records of the Elven race that this First Speaker seemed to have appeared suddenly in the Gaia world.

When he became known to the world, he was already extremely powerful and was one of the top experts in the Gaia world.

He joined forces with several legendary arcane mages of the time to establish the Pancontinental Mage Association.

Many people believe that Osiris Cronus, the Lord of Time's Mark, is the most powerful being below the gods.

However, what's strange is that this First Speaker has almost no record of fighting against others.

No one was able to find any trace of him.

Li Si did not believe that the First Speaker would show up and send someone to inform him to go to the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

If it's not the First Speaker, it probably wouldn't be Professor Stephens, who is the Second Speaker.

Li Si has been unable to contact Professor Stephens for a long time.

Remember when Professor Stephens went to investigate the arrangements made by the demon prince Demogorgon in the Gaia world?

I don't know if something went wrong.
However, Li Si had no intention of interfering.

One reason is that the soul imprint left by Professor Stephens in the Magic Workshop of Radiant City has not disappeared, indicating that he is not in mortal danger.

On the other hand, Professor Stephens intervenes in the most dangerous things in the Gaia world.

It's not something Li Si, who hasn't even embarked on the path to godhood, can interfere with.

So, it's that Third Chancellor, Astral Weaver, Arkansas Tarrindra?
Li Si knew just how powerful this legendary figure, who was on par with his teacher, was.

Professor Stephens had a little-known confrontation with this Third Speaker, which ended in a draw.

Stephens admitted that he might have had a slight advantage in the fight, but it was far from enough to win.

The spells that this Third Speaker is skilled in are quite unique; they are extremely rare astral spells.

According to Professor Stephens, Arkansas's specialty, astral magic, can create a special astral environment in the battle zone.

Furthermore, the various unique astral spells have effects quite different from common spells, granting Arkansas incredible abilities.

It's very similar to the effect of the astral plane in confusing perception and consciousness.

Furthermore, Professor Stephens speculated that if the battle were fought in a true astral environment, the Third Chancellor's strength might be even greater.

If it weren't for Stephens' expertise in spatial magic, there would have been even more trouble dealing with the Third Chancellor, Arkansas.

This unique astral magic is said to be mastered only by the Third Chancellor.

Even though the other party left behind a related legacy in the Pan-Continental Mage Association, no mage has successfully learned it in hundreds of years.

Why would the third speaker seek him out?

Li Si was somewhat puzzled.

In the recent incident involving the [Crystal of Phillips], the Pan-Continental Mage Association did not participate much.

Most of the time, the Pancontinental Mage Association is a lawful and neutral force, and its relationship with the Church of the Gods is not very harmonious.

Therefore, for a time Li Si could not guess what the third speaker was thinking.

Sitting opposite Li Si, Aurelion had no idea that Li Si had thought about so many things in such a short time.

He smiled and said to Li Si:
"Just two days ago, the Third Speaker returned from the Astral Plane to the floating city of Minos."

"The Third Speaker learned about your affair with Kane's Floating City and specifically instructed me to invite you to visit Minos Floating City."

"That's it"

Li Si looked at Aurelion calmly.

For many mages of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, the three high-ranking Speakers were almost equivalent to the deities worshipped by the clergy of the Church of Gods.

Of course, for monks, knowledge is the most important belief.

However, as the strongest mage, the Speaker also possesses the most magical knowledge, which makes him no different from a god to the mages.

Therefore, meeting the speaker is a very precious and rare opportunity for them.

However, this was not so important to Li Si.

After all, the second speaker of parliament was his teacher; he should meet this third speaker.
It’s not impossible!
To be honest, Li Si was quite interested in this third speaker.

Or rather, Li Si was quite interested in the three speakers and the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Aside from other considerations, Li Si also hoped for an opportunity to communicate with other powerful mages.

After all, for a monk who seeks knowledge, being complacent and working in isolation is a major drawback.

In the Gaia world, the Pan-Continental Mage Association is the most suitable target.

During that collaboration with Aurelion, Li Si had the opportunity to visit the Pancontinental Mage Association. He was quite envious of the Pancontinental Mage Association's terrifying treasure trove of magical knowledge accumulated over countless years.

Moreover, the Pancontinental Mage Association should possess the most complete knowledge heritage of the Netheril Magic Empire.

This is an opportunity that Li Si, who wants to continue repairing and even strengthening the Kane Floating City, cannot afford to miss.

Although he was already somewhat tempted, Li Si's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask Aurelion:
"I wonder what business Third Speaker Arkansas has with me?"

"I don't know about that."

Aurelion shook his head and said with a smile:

"I cannot interfere in the Speaker's affairs."

"However, this is also a very rare opportunity for you."

"After all, since joining the Pan-Continental Mage Association, many people have been interested in you, yet you have never even been to the association once."

"Interested in me?"

"Are you interested in Kane's floating city?"

Li Si glanced at Aurelion and said with a smile.
"Haha, that's certainly one aspect."

Aurelion smiled somewhat awkwardly and said:

"As the Second Speaker's only disciple, you may not know that many people in the association want to talk to you."

"It's quite rare to have an experience like yours that allows you to achieve legendary status."

Li Si smiled and nodded.

He understood what Aurelion was referring to.

However, it was actually Stephens, a legendary mage, who successfully taught a legendary mage disciple.

After all, unlike other professions, the mage profession is extremely demanding in terms of talent.

Legendary mages may have disciples who are also legendary mages; this is rare, but not unheard of.

However, it is quite rare for someone like Li Si to be accepted as a disciple by a legendary mage before even reaching the Gold rank and then successfully break through to the legendary level.

The vast majority of disciples taken in by legendary mages are at least Gold-ranked.

After all, the talents of mages are not as obvious as those of ordinary professionals.

Many people progress quickly when they are low-level mages, but stagnate after breaking through to the gold rank.

However, Li Si guessed that this was probably just Aurelion's excuse.

He didn't think the legendary mages in the Pancontinental Mage Association would be more interested in this.

Ultimately, the entire Pancontinental Mage Association only has two intact floating cities, while the association has so many legendary mages under its command.

With so many wolves and so little meat, how can there be enough to go around?

Naturally, his attention would be focused on his floating city of Kane.

Li Si did not mind this.

He was far inferior to the Third Speaker, Arkansas, but what about the other legendary mages who coveted such good fortune?

[Mechanic] Steven Kruger is the same fate as those people.
Li Si guessed that it was because Steven had been so cleanly defeated by him that those people were intimidated, which was why he hadn't been bothered by those troubles for a while.

So, you think I defeated Steven because of Kane's floating city?

Li Si thought to himself with amusement.

For Li Si now, even the leaders of those schools of thought within the association could not defeat him.

However, this is a pretty good opportunity for exchange.

Li Si thought for a moment, then said to Aurelion:

"I understand. I'll go to the association after I've settled things here."

"Alright, I'll go back to the association and wait for you."

Aurelion nodded, unsurprised by Li Si's decision.

Pancontinental Mage Association, Jonas City

Jonas City is a magical metropolis standing in the heart of the city, a strange place where countless magical mysteries and towering towers converge.

The entire city was permeated with a rich magic, as if mysterious spells and sparks of wisdom flowed in the air.

It is not just a city, but a sacred place in the hearts of countless mages, second only to the two floating cities of the Association.

Jonas was indeed once a miraculous city floating in the air. However, as time passed, it fell to the earth, but it was not completely destroyed, and was left behind as a ruin.

The legendary mages of the Pancontinental Mage Association discovered this miracle and, with their boundless wisdom and magic, reawakened the former glory of Jonas City.

Countless years later, the city has almost recovered to its former glory.

Countless years have passed, and the area of ​​Jonas City has long surpassed the area of ​​the former floating city ruins.

Here, mages, who are rarely seen in normal times, are as common as ordinary people.

The streets of Jonas are paved with shimmering stardust. Every step leaves a faint, star-like footprint that disappears into the light and shadow in an instant.

The buildings on both sides of the road have very different architectural styles, yet they blend together in a wonderful way.

The towering spire reaches into the clouds, its apex adorned with a massive magic crystal that, refracted by the sunlight, radiates a dazzling array of colors, resembling a dreamlike lighthouse guiding the lost.

The domed buildings resemble castles straight out of a fairy tale, with glowing vines climbing their walls and exotic flowers blooming on them. As the petals tremble gently, melodious notes drift out, weaving with the breeze into a beautiful melody.

The streets were bustling with people, yet there was no noise whatsoever.

The mages dressed in various styles, some wearing cloaks shimmering with runes, others wearing hats inlaid with jewels, and so on. However, they all shared a unique magical aura in their attire.

They either ride magical mounts of various shapes or drive magical flying carpets that float in the air, moving freely through the streets.

The street is lined with a dazzling array of shops, each one like a magical treasure trove.

Stepping into a magic potion shop, the store is filled with various strange scents: the refreshing aroma of mint, the rich fragrance of herbs, and a faint, mysterious aura.

The shelves were filled with colorful medicine bottles, each containing liquids of different colors, some sparkling like brilliant stars, others as deep blue as the ocean.

The shop owner was an elderly man with white hair. His eyes gleamed with wisdom as he focused intently on concocting a new potion. With a gentle wave of his wand, various ingredients fell precisely into the bottle, instantly igniting a burst of brilliant light.

Further ahead is a magic bookstore. The bookstore's door is made of ancient magical runes, which flash automatically as people approach, as if welcoming guests.

Inside the shop, the bookshelves were filled with densely packed magic books, some with covers depicting burning flames, and others with flowing frost.
Lisa carefully stroked these strange magic books, her eyes filled with curiosity.

　I'll revise the rest later, please wait a moment, everyone.
