Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 225 Totem of the Swan
this moment.

The constellation formed by the combination of 343 stars presents a proud fiery bird spreading its wings, then disintegrating into a fireball, but the flames disintegrate again when it tries to transform once more...

This control over fire is still a bit far from being as responsive as an arm; it seems that even a high-level level two cultivator can only achieve this much.

Fang Yu felt that he had inexhaustible strength, and at the same time, he could feel the magical energy in his body becoming more active.

Not only physical strength, but even the recovery of fire-type magic power has been greatly improved!

and.

That's not all; his spiritual realm broke through to the fifth level.

After cultivating amidst the beautiful scenery of Tianchi Lake for a long time, Fang Yu and his companion finally emerged from seclusion.

Fang Yu could feel that his fire element was already very stable, and even his other elements had benefited greatly.

A week later!

As the sun sets, a man and a woman lie down side by side, gazing intently at the sunset. The crimson glow illuminates their faces, and an unspoken, ambiguous understanding permeates the air.

Since the incident involving the beautiful scenery on the lake, Fang Yu has noticed that their relationship seems to have broken through another barrier and become even closer.

"This is truly a twist of fate. I never expected to receive such a gift from the pure white divine bird when I was in my most desperate moment. Fate is truly unpredictable!" Fang Yu exclaimed.

"Yes! We're so lucky!" Mu Ningxue couldn't help but exclaim.

Mu Ningxue still felt a bit scared when she recalled the scene. That was the Heavenly Mark White Tiger, a demon at the level of a Great Monarch!

"How's your cultivation of the Soul Seed Domain going?" Fang Yu asked.

“I’m already familiar with it!” Mu Ningxue replied.

"Swan, swan~~~~~~"

Hearing the cry, the two looked up at the Heavenly Waterfall, where a thick white halo emanated. The surrounding atmosphere began to flow under the call of an inexplicable force, and waves gradually rose.

Even the magnificent and dazzling Heavenly Lake paled in comparison! A pure white divine bird soared down from the Nine Heavens Sacred Waterfall.

The pure white divine bird used its white radiance energy to once again envelop Fang Yu and his companion.

Since seeing the pure white divine bird, they hadn't interacted at all, so Fang Yu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Holy Spirit Feathered Beast, are you also a totem?" Fang Yu asked.

"Totem Swan!" the pure white divine bird transmitted its voice.

Fang Yu asked again, but received no response. Quite aloof, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed; it seemed the swan didn't feel much affinity for humans.

After that great battle, the sacred totem disappeared and has remained secluded within the sacred waterfall of Tianshan Mountain ever since, not participating in outside affairs.

As for the gift it left for Fang Yu, it was simply because it saw the hope of reviving the Sacred Feather Vermilion Bird!
The pure white divine bird let out a sigh.

The swan spread its wings and carried Fang Yu and the other two straight towards the Tianshan Mountains.

"We're leaving, thank you!" Fang Yu and his companion waved goodbye to the mythical swan bird.

It was truly a strange experience. She came to Qin Yu'er to help Mu Ningxue understand herself, but ended up cultivating in this mysterious Heavenly Lake for over a month.

……

"Swan, swan~~~~~~"

The mythical swan bird, which blots out the sky, spreads its wings, the sea of ​​clouds in the nine heavens is churning, and the colorful sky above the Tianshan Mountains is adorned with layers of brilliant white light.

Fang Yu watched as the divine swan bird slowly flew towards the sacred waterfall.

A large, white feather, as big as a banana leaf, drifted down from the sky. Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and he transferred the feather's spatial dimension into his hand.

"Is this a swan's feather?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Hmm!" Fang Yu took out the Chongming Feather given to him by Baxia. The bright red feather emitted a warm glow, and the two complemented each other.

"Nine-Heaven Cloud Crane, Black Bird, Double Bright Divine Bird, and Swan. Four sub-totem forms under the Sacred Feather Vermilion Bird have been collected so far. Is there any hope of revival?" Fang Yu pondered for a moment before putting away two feathers. "Let's go!" Fang Yu took Mu Ningxue's hand. After spending time together, Mu Ningxue was no longer averse to physical contact; conquering the fortress was just around the corner.

The two walked through the snowy glaciers.

after one day
During this trip to the Tianshan Mountains, I deliberately spent a day searching through the perilous glacial deposits, but I still didn't encounter Qin Yu'er.

Qin Yu'er, the guide, possessed the cultivation of a super-level mage and the Soul Ice Body, which could have greatly helped Mu Ningxue improve. It's just a pity.

"Are you leaving?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Well, we'll have to wait for another opportunity. Staying here is too dangerous," Fang Yu replied.

Mu Ningxue only felt a slight pity. This trip to Tianshan had already met her expectations. The spirit seed had grown into a soul seed, and she had used the control artifact given to her by Fang Yu to release a high-level ice magic.

The two continued on their way, and what appeared before them was a lake at the Tianshan Pass. The lake was very large, with a diameter of more than four kilometers. The entrance to the glacial deposits was the legendary, sacred and beautiful Tianshan Lake.

A thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of Tianshan Lake, just enough for a person to walk on. There are rows of ancient coniferous trees along the edge of the lake that can shield the area from the fierce winds and frost.

"The Tianshan Ice Pool marks the boundary between the alpine layer and the glacial deposits," Fang Yu thought.

Looking from here, you can see that many areas of the lake are shrouded in white mist.

The further we went, the thicker and thicker the white fog became, spreading in the vicinity.

At first, the two didn't pay attention, but when the fog became so thick that they couldn't see anything more than a hundred meters away, they realized something was wrong.

Mu Ningxue turned around and went back along the road, but after walking a dozen meters, she quickly turned back. She frowned slightly and said, "The road behind is covered by white fog, and we can't tell which way is which. We can't go back the way we came."

"There's a problem," Fang Yu whispered, and he quickly used his mental power to probe the environment.

"Buzz!"

When the spiritual energy swept across in layers of ripples, it was astonishing to find that the transparent waves were like mud sinking into the sea, sticking to the ice mist and only spreading for more than ten meters.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yu's heart sank; he had been tricked.

This icy mist contains extremely strong psychic energy, likely a trap set by some cunning demon.

"Click, click"

A frosty white glow surged around Fang Yu, accompanied by a 'whooshing' sound of surging ice tides.

The magnificent frost-white ice tide spread and swept in circles, and the white mist in the air was also freezing, forming ice shards that floated in the air, shimmering with crystal brilliance.

Unfortunately, the ice tide only affected an area of ​​about twenty meters in radius. This white mist contained not only spiritual energy but also water elements, which resisted the erosion of the ice.

"Wind-swirling tornado!"

Next was Mu Ningxue, whose feet were drawn with a blue star map, and a tornado several meters high suddenly rose up.

A violent blue wind swept across the thick white fog, and hundreds of wind blades spun and cut rapidly, stirring the misty air into turmoil.

The two tried using ice and wind magic to break through the thick white fog. However, the effect was mediocre; the fog was like cotton, soft yet tough, and they were unable to tear open a large blank area.

"This is some kind of domain power formed by demons. Even magic can't break it?" Mu Ning's expression changed slightly.

Fang Yu remained calm. He discovered that the magic of the two of them still had an effect on the white mist, and took the opportunity to expand the range of his mental power detection to more than 20 meters, where he could vaguely see the shadow at the bottom of the water.

Ultimately, it is the spiritual power of the fifth realm. Even if it is disturbed, as long as there is a gap, it can seize the opportunity.

"Boom!"

The demons within the white mist were startled, unleashing their immense demonic power. The white mist surged, blotting out the sky and engulfing the two figures.

The level that was imperceptible from twenty meters away suddenly became so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and the two could not see each other.

Fang Yu was startled and immediately released ice magic. An ice lock intertwined from the white mist and wrapped around Mu Ningxue's waist.

Mu Ningxue felt the touch on her waist and the taut ice lock. The unease that had been obscuring her vision faded, and a sense of peace rose within her. It was the power from Fang Yu, which she could clearly sense even though she couldn't see it in the white mist.
