I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 797 Accepting a Disciple
The Source of All Laws: The Pagoda of the Dharma Masters, the Library of Wisdom.

As Joel stared at the messages on the magic screen in front of him, a storm raged within him.

The announcement from the Source of All Laws, besides informing others that Cole had become the first mage to publish a paper in a magical journal, also outlined the rules for allocating other resources within the Source of All Laws school.

The allocation of those regular magical resources is based on the individual rank of the members.

However, after watching it, Joel wasn't very interested in it.

According to the regulations, these magical resources are equivalent to certain benefits.

For a mage to improve their strength, in addition to magical knowledge, there are numerous props and resources needed for various magical experiments, as well as a variety of different magical equipment.

While mages can certainly accumulate wealth faster than other extraordinary professionals, they also have more places to spend money.

Although it is not yet clear what the strength of each rank corresponds to, it seems that this is more of a perk for members of the school.

Of course, this regulation also mentions that members of a school can apply to the school for resources for magical research, but the final results must be shared with the school.
Joel didn't quite understand what this meant.

However, compared to this, another regulation later on was of greater concern to Jol.

That is the application for trial qualification of the school's magic facility.

This is the thing that mages who have joined the [Source of All Laws] are most concerned about.

It's important to know that Li Si, the leader of the [Source of All Laws], controls the floating city of Kane.

That was a supernatural resource that even the legendary councilors of the association were vying for. Although they knew it was probably not relevant to them, most mages still held onto their hopes.

Perhaps I'll even get lucky and be able to borrow some of the ordinary magic workshops on the floating city!
Just as they had guessed, Li Si, as the leader of the school, indeed included the various magical facilities of Kane's Floating City in the [Source of All Laws] school.

However, what they didn't expect was that the eligibility to use these magical facilities, just like the previously allocated magical resources, depended on an individual's school rank and arcane points.

Although the regulations also indicated that other considerations were included, it was clear that the initial members were not eligible to use these magical facilities.

Later, it was even specified that only those who were eligible to apply were eligible.

One of them was Li Si, the leader of the school of thought.

The other one was Cole, whose paper had just been approved and who had earned Arcane Points.

this.
Most people don't know who this Cole is.

But without a doubt, this Cole was not any of the legendary members of the association.

So, can someone below the legendary level also write papers and publish them in the school's magical journal?
Currently, only two people are eligible to apply for the magical facilities in Kane's Floating City.

Leaving aside Li Si, wouldn't the other Cole be able to use the floating city's magical facilities without restriction during this period?
Even legendary councilors covet a top-tier magic workshop?

Wow (‵o′), I'm so envious!

Even inside the library of wisdom, the mages couldn't contain their surprise and curiosity, and began discussing it with their friends.

Joel, on the other hand, had no desire to communicate with others.

All she wanted to know right now was whether the person who had successfully written the paper was the same Cole she knew.
Moreover, Joel also noticed that Cole, who had been spending the time in the Wisdom Library just like her, had been rarely seen in the past few days.

Has he been busy with this matter these past few days?
Thinking about this, Joel lost all interest in continuing to read.

After quickly tidying up, Joel left the library.

She wanted to find Cole and Nelson to see if the person who published the paper was indeed Cole.

After an unknown amount of time, Cole rolled over, yawned, and slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the softness below, he suddenly woke up.

No, this isn't my own home.

My bed at home isn't this soft.

As soon as he sat up, Cole found himself in a beautifully furnished bedroom.

The decorative patterns here seem to be engraved with magic runes, but Cole can't understand their meaning.

To Cole's right was a balcony, and through the balcony railings, one could see a patch of azure sky.

where is this?
Cole was a little taken aback.

At that moment, a voice rang out beside him:
"woke up?"

"You little rascal, you can really sleep!"

"Lord Black Cat!"

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Cole immediately realized who it was.

Oh right, I was submitting a paper to Lord Black Cat earlier.

But then I got so sleepy that I fell asleep.

By the way, what was the result?

I remember it passed, right?
Cole rubbed his still throbbing temples and looked at the black cat, asking:

"Lord Black Cat, my thesis passed, right?"

The black cat was lying on the headboard, lazily licking its paws.

"Yes, it's approved."

The black cat nodded and said:
"You're really something, you just fell asleep right away."

"Don't you know there's a lot more to come?"

Now that Cole has completed Li Si's task, he will soon become Li Si's disciple.

The black cat's tone was also a bit more affectionate than before.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Lord Black Cat."

Cole rubbed his head a little embarrassedly and sat up in bed.

He walked to the edge of the balcony with some curiosity.

A cool breeze blew by, and a magnificent and beautiful scene appeared before him.

His gaze slowly swept around, and he was surprised to find himself on a high tower in a floating city.

This floating city is like a dazzling pearl, gracefully flying in the azure sky, as blue as a jewel.

The surrounding sky was so pure that it was without a trace of impurity; its clear blue color seemed to have been carefully painted by nature with the most delicate background.

The snow-white clouds, like loyal guards, neatly circled around the floating city, adding to its solemnity and mystery.

The entire floating city shimmered with a soft glow under the sunlight.

The floating city itself is truly magnificent.

It has a unique azure blue color, as if it were formed from endless magic.

Towering pagodas stand tall, with one after another mage's tower rising from the ground and piercing the clouds.

These towers, each with a different shape, intertwine to create a magnificent and beautiful picture.

At first glance, the grand scale and unique architectural style of the floating city give people an extremely strong visual impact.

Cole seemed to be in a dreamlike world, which was truly amazing.

Is this the floating city?
Although he was a member of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, Cole had never set foot on the association's two floating cities before.

Even so, Cole had heard about the two floating cities.

He was certain that the floating city in front of him was not one of the two from the association.

Therefore, without a doubt, this is the floating city of Kane in the [Source of All Laws]!

Standing atop the floating city, Cole felt the magic around him was extremely active.

Casting spells here is far more powerful and has a greater impact on the entire cast. There's even a sense of comfort, like being immersed in a hot spring.

"If you're awake, come with me."

The black cat jumped off the bed and waddled toward the door.

"Yes."

Cole nodded quickly and followed the black cat out of the room.

Cole found everything about the floating city outside quite novel.

However, at this moment, he could only suppress his curiosity and obediently follow behind the black cat.

You should know that in those magical legends related to Fulong City, the floating city is described as a very powerful but dangerous place.

He's just a lowly Silver Mage; any random elemental golem could probably kill him.

Following the black cat, Cole walked through corridor after corridor, going up and down several magical platforms, but still didn't seem to have reached their destination.

Moreover, apart from a few elemental golems patrolling the area, Cole didn't see anyone else along the way.

Shouldn't it?

There can't be no one in the floating city, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Cole asked the black cat:
"Lord Black Cat, where are we going?"

"Of course I'm going to see your teacher!"

The black cat turned its head, glanced at Cole, and spoke with a smile.

"My teacher?"

Cole, still a little groggy from just waking up, didn't react for a moment.

"Didn't you complete Li Si's task?"

"Otherwise, why would you go through all that trouble?"

The black cat wagged its tail, looking somewhat worried.

Has Li Si's new disciple gone mad from writing so many papers?
"I remember now."

Cole then remembered and became uncontrollably excited.

Yes, he completed the paper that His Majesty Li Si had asked him to write!
So, is he really going to become the apprentice of a legendary politician?
It's still that Councilor Li Si who's recently become extremely famous in the Pan-Continental Mage Association!
Call ~
Cole calmed himself down.

This was an extremely rare opportunity for him, but it also brought him considerable pressure.

Becoming the disciple of a legendary politician must come with considerable pressure.

But no matter how many difficulties there were, Cole didn't want to give up.

If you miss this opportunity, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Black Cat noticed that Cole calmed down quickly, although he could still be seen to be somewhat unable to control his emotions, but that was already very good for a young man.

No wonder Li Si accepted this disciple.

Black Cat knew how difficult it was to independently complete a paper that met Li Si's requirements and was worthy of publication in a magic journal!

Even though the restrictions were slightly more lenient in the early days of the Magic Journal, it was still quite remarkable that Cole was the first to be published.

As a magical intelligent life form that simultaneously manages Kane's Floating City and the Source of All Laws, Black Cat pays close attention to the outstanding individuals within her own faction.

"I brought you here so you can get familiar with the place."

"You'll be eligible to apply for a magic workshop here from now on. Don't miss this opportunity."

Cole listened to what the black cat was saying, but didn't quite understand.

But judging from the appearance, this seems to be a very important place in Kane's floating city.
Cole followed behind the black cat, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Soon, the black cat led Cole to a strange garden.

This is a mysterious and extraordinary magical garden where all kinds of magical plants grow freely.

The carefully cultivated, colorful crystal flowers emit a strange light, and the magical fruits of various shapes sway in the wind, as if telling the story of the wonders of magic.

In the center of the garden, on a soft lawn, sat a young man dressed in a simple black robe.

The robe had no superfluous decorations, yet it exuded an indescribable solemnity and mystery in Cole.

Cole recognized the other person instantly.

[The Ruler of All Things] Your Majesty Li Si!
Li Si sat cross-legged, his posture upright, his eyes closed, as if he were immersed in deep meditation.

Even Cole could sense the powerful yet gentle magic surrounding that person.

This magic flows like a gentle stream, rippling slowly, as if it has its own life and rhythm.

Where magic touches, miracles quietly occur.

On the once tranquil lawn, tender green shoots sprouted rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, full of vitality.

The beautiful flowers bloom in profusion, their petals still adorned with glistening dewdrops, shimmering with a dreamlike brilliance under the magical light.

They stood like loyal guards around Li Si, making him appear even more mysterious.

Even more astonishingly, the illusion of a starry sky faintly appeared around Li Si's body.

The brilliant stars twinkled, the vast Milky Way seemed within reach, and the profound mysteries of the cosmos were faintly visible within.

The illusion was dreamlike and ethereal, making one feel as if they were in a vast star realm, accompanied by stars and walking with mystery.

Cole only glanced at it a few times before feeling an overwhelming sense of dizziness.

It's like being in the starry sky, not knowing which way is up, down, left, or right.

The sense of disparity between his physical and mental state almost made Cole trip and fall.

The black cat glanced at Cole and swung its paw.

Tiny specks of magic coalesced behind Cole into a reclining chair for him to sit on, allowing him to recover.

The black cat's body stretched and elongated at will, and a moment later a pretty girl with long black hair appeared in front of Cole.

The black cat sat opposite Cole, happily enjoying the snacks and black tea that the golem had brought.

Just then, Li Si slowly opened his eyes.

Having finished his meditation on Aurelion's Breath of the Stars, Li Si stood up.

Although he was in a meditative state, Li Si could still sense the arrival of the black cat and Cole.

"Cole, that's pretty good, even shorter than I expected."

Li Si looked at Cole and said with a smile.

Although he was still feeling unwell, Cole quickly stood up and said respectfully:

"Thank you for your previous guidance, otherwise I probably wouldn't even have mastered spatial magic yet."

"No need to be so modest."

Li Si shook his head and said with a smile:

"To be able to have such thoughts so soon after mastering spatial magic is truly remarkable."

"Now that you have met my requirements, are you willing to become my disciple?"

"willing."

Cole answered without hesitation.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill.

Looking at Li Si's smile, he suddenly felt as if something bad had happened.
