Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

Magnolia Empire
As soon as he stepped into the territory of the Magnolia Empire, Zhou Xian was keenly aware of the difference here. A heavy sense of historical vicissitudes surged over him like a tide, making him secretly amazed. It was indeed the empire with the longest history in the world. It had gone through thousands of years since its founding. It once unified the entire continent. The name of the Magnolia Continent originated from this.

Although it later fell apart and lost its glory, the unique atmosphere of this empire, which has been deposited over the long years, is still deeply imprinted on every inch of land and every corner here, and permeates every aspect.

Not only that, Zhou Xian also noticed that the number of magicians in the Yulan Empire was beyond imagination. Just within a few hours of entering the empire, they encountered several magicians one after another. Although most of them were low-level magicians, the number was still quite astonishing.

After all, unlike warriors, magicians value talent very much. If they don't have innate magic talent, they can't embark on the path of magic practice. The fact that the Yulan Empire has so many magicians shows that it has unique advantages and profound background in magic inheritance and cultivation.

What he saw and heard in the past few hours made Zhou Xian feel deeply moved. It was indeed an empire famous for producing many magicians. Even a small town in a remote area could hide many talented people. It was truly amazing to have such a large number of magicians.

Behind this, there must be a unique magic education system and a strong magic cultural atmosphere that have nurtured so many magical talents. This also makes Zhou Xian full of expectations for this trip to the Magnolia Empire.

"Zoe's hometown is in the imperial capital. It's a good opportunity for me to find some holy magicians to learn from and exchange magic along the way." Zhou Xian thought to himself, and then the legendary stories of those famous holy magicians emerged involuntarily in his mind.

Each of the Saint Domain masters is like an epic legend. Their biographies are treasured in the library of Ernst College. Of all the places, the Yulan Empire is the place where the Saint Magisters gather the most. Some of them choose to establish academies, recruit disciples, and pass on their magical knowledge and skills; some take the family as the core, train the younger generation in the family, and let the power of magic continue and develop in the family.

Some holy magicians are mavericks and choose to be lone rangers. They stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and embark on the long journey of magic practice alone.

They traveled through every corner of the continent, explored mysterious ruins, studied ancient magic books, and continuously improved their magical powers with their own talents and hard work, leaving amazing legends on the Magnolia Continent. Their whereabouts were mysterious, but they always showed up at critical moments and affected the situation on the continent.

This kind of solitary Holy Magister was naturally not in Zhou Xian's plan to visit. After all, it was too difficult to find these elusive people in the vast continent, and Zhou Xian did not have that much time and energy. He preferred to visit Holy Magisters with a fixed range of activities, so that he could plan his itinerary more specifically, increase the success rate of the visit, and exchange magic with them more efficiently.

"The person closest to us, as I remember, is the water-based holy mage named Mo Lan." Zhou Xian muttered to himself as he quickly sketched out a map of the Magnolia Empire in his mind.

The map clearly marked the locations where many Holy Magisters often appeared, and Mo Lan was only a few hundred miles away from their current location, in a city called Mo City.

Thinking that he would soon be able to come into contact with this holy mage and learn magic from him, Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He turned around and discussed the plan of going to Mo City with Zoe and Ahri.

Ahri always obeyed Zhou Xian's orders, so naturally she had no objection and obediently prepared to go with him. But Zoe's reaction was completely different. She looked uninterested, her lips slightly curled, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if in her eyes, this Saint Mage Mo Lan was nothing worth paying special attention to. Seeing this, Zhou Xian couldn't help but feel a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Zoe, look at your expression, do you know something? Mo Lan doesn't seem to be that good in your eyes."

"Tsk, he's just a perverted old man, and he has an ambiguous relationship with his granddaughter." Zoe's face flashed with disgust, and her tone was full of contempt. From her expression and words, it was not difficult to see that she had indeed come into contact with this Moran Saint Mage, and had a very bad impression of him.

Zhou Xian was slightly startled after hearing this. His original expectation for exchanging magic was mixed with some complicated emotions. He thought that Mo Lan's character didn't seem to be very good, but he still planned to go and meet him first to see what the magic strength of this holy magician was like. He said, "I didn't expect him to be such a person, but we are mainly going to exchange magic, and we won't worry about other things for now. We will adapt to the situation when the time comes."

After hearing what Zhou Xian said, although Zoe was reluctant and felt uncomfortable when she thought of the old man's eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse when she saw Zhou Xian's expectant look on his face and he wanted to exchange magic with her.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently, muttering, "Okay, I'll go with you, but if that old man dares to look at me like he did last time, I'm going to beat him up again!"

After Zoe finished speaking, she waved her little fist angrily, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes, revealing a ruthlessness that would not give up until she achieved her goal. However, in Zhou Xian's opinion, she did not look fierce at all, but extremely cute, and her whole body exuded a unique kind of agility.

Zhou Xian raised his lips slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and raised his hand to gently touch Zoe's head to express his gratitude. Ahri looked at them obediently, with two tails swaying gently behind her.

Afterwards, the three of them headed towards Mo City together.

For Zhou Xian now, a journey of a few hundred miles is nothing. Since he comprehended the law, although he has not yet broken through to the Saint Realm, he has mastered the ability to fly in the air. The magic power around him surged and resonated with the power of heaven and earth, enveloping Zoe and Ahri, and turned into a stream of light that cut through the sky. The wind whistled along the way, and the mountains and rivers below passed by like a picture scroll.

But in just one hour, a magnificent city came into view. It was their destination - Mo City.

Before approaching Mo City, Zhou Xian's keen perception caught a strange breath. The breath was extremely soft, just like the gurgling stream, light and soothing, non-aggressive, but extremely resilient. It was like an invisible net, evenly covering the entire Mo City, gently swaying with the breeze.

Zhou Xian thought to himself, "It seems that Mo Lan's attainments in water magic are really not shallow. His comprehension of water magic has reached this level, and he is probably only one step away from comprehending the laws of water magic. In this case, this exchange will surely spark a lot of ideas, and may also bring unexpected inspiration to my own magic practice."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian's eyes showed a bit more anticipation. He quickened his speed and flew towards Mo Cheng.
