Chapter 540 Anlos's Two Sacred Springs

Chapter 540 Anlos's Two Sacred Springs
The dried-up lake was finally filled up on the third day.

A brand-new Arcane Spring, centered around the Ogre Spring, shines brightly in this Silver Ruins.

A brand new sacred spring...

Yes, it's just that the ruins of the sacred spring have regained their former glory.

Even so, the power of that sacred spring was far greater than any other sacred spring Mina had ever seen...

The power of that sacred spring clearly originates from the sea of arcane magic.

But the feeling that this holy spring gave Mina was actually stronger than that of the arcane sea.

If one were to cultivate here, the efficiency would be several times greater than that of the Arcane Sea.

"If I train here, I'll definitely reach the sixth level very quickly."

Inoria gazed at the sacred spring, her eyes filled with light.

If only her succubus holy spring could be developed to this extent.

Olivia shook her head slightly, her gaze falling on Mina.

The boy was still floating above the Arcane Spring.

Although the Arcane Spring has established a connection with the Arcane Sea through itself, the connection between Mina and the Arcane Sea has not been completely severed.

Arcane power still flowed from that sea of arcane energy, pouring into Mina's sea of magic and surging into his endless meditative starry sky.

At this moment, Mina's understanding of arcane magic had reached its peak.

Whether it's the mastery of skills or the use and control of arcane power, it has long surpassed the peak of the fifth stage.

This is beyond what can be described by simply saying "the pinnacle of star power, the ultimate limit of ProMax".

But here's the thing.

This near-limitless understanding of arcane magic, however, did not allow Mina to break through the barrier of the sixth stage.

It was as if... something was preventing Mina from breaking through.

No matter how hard she tried, Mina's fusion techniques and arcane power could not break through to the sixth rank.

He was ultimately unable to break through the barrier of the star field.

What's the problem?
A day and a night passed, and Mina was still confused.

Could it be a limitation imposed by Gutaorn?
Mina took a step forward, her consciousness entering the Elemental Land, the Arcane Sea at the Elemental Core.

Immersed in it, Mina felt the joy of arcane magic.

It seemed that after this day and night, his relationship with the Arcane Sea had become even closer.

But here's the thing.

Here, Mina still cannot break through that constraint.

He remains a star.

"Star Domain... Sixth Stage... Is it that difficult?"

Mina was speechless.

Return to the Arcane Spring.

Mina looked at the sea of magic, which was gradually calming down.

And in the sky, the Ancient Tower Orn Nebula had been tinged with a pale pink by arcane magic.

So what's still missing...?

Is it the origin?

But what exactly is the origin...?

Mina opened her eyes, and the vast arcane light in them flashed and disappeared in an instant.

He looked toward Olivia on the shore.

"Can this sacred spring now connect with the source land?"

Olivia nodded, then shook her head.

"It's still a bit short, but we can continue development; it just needs time."

Mina nodded slowly.

Time...

He seems to have plenty of time left.

but……

Mina thought of the missing Purple-Clad Sister, but then felt a sense of urgency.

Olivia seemed to sense Mina's urgency, and at the same time she thought of the missing teacher in purple.

All I can say is that I'll do it as quickly as possible.

Upon entering the Silver Ruins, Olivia obtained some more fragments of memories belonging to the former Silver Queen, including information about the development of the Holy Spring.

"Then please."

Mina said solemnly that he wanted to reach the star field as soon as possible.

"If possible, I'll need your help one more time."

Olivia spoke, her gaze falling on the other side of the ruins.

There, there lies an even more dilapidated site of a sacred spring.

"If we can activate this sacred spring, the development progress might be a little faster."

"Ovilia said."

The Arcane Spring is now merely reactivated, and even then, it's only a partially activated spring.

Even at its most glorious moment, it was never able to directly access the Sea of Arcane Origins.

Now, connecting is no easy feat.

However, past failures do not preclude future failures.

With the aid of the Second Holy Spring, and combined with new technology, there might be a chance.

And this second sacred spring...

"This is the Holy Spring of Magic?"

Mina looked at the dried-up ruins.

Olivia nodded.

"Yes."

Magic and arcane power are two of the most difficult energies to access at their source.

Some say that the limit of arcane magic is arcane magic itself.

The limit of magic is also magic.

They do not have an origin.

The Silver Empire paid a price for its past failed attempts.

But now, Olivia seems to have a different understanding.

Especially after the inheritance planet.

Mina walked into the magical holy spring.

Feeling the dried-up sacred spring, Mina closed her eyes.

I want to use the power of gray to try to communicate with the sea of elements.

But there was no movement.

Mina tried for a long time, but to no avail.

He opened his eyes, somewhat regretfully. "Not for now."

Mina shook her head. Perhaps the Elemental Land didn't actually have a so-called Sea of Magic. The real Sea of Magic was elsewhere, and Mina's method of communicating with the Elemental Land was misleading.

"It's also possible that magic itself doesn't actually exist in the form of an ocean of magic."

"impossible."

Olivia shook her head: "Back then, our sacred spring of magic could connect with the sea of magic."

Mina pinched her chin.

So, does a true sea of magic exist?

The Sea of Magic, as its source, continuously flows into the Holy Spring, providing the Silver Empire with an endless source of magic.

But is there a possibility?

That sea of magic is not the true sea of magic.

Of course, this is only one possibility, and Mina cannot make a definitive judgment.

Mina slowly shook her head as she withdrew her hand.

The Sea of Magic is nowhere to be found.

With his own gray-colored power, he could only barely repair the tiny crack.

How can a single spring possibly bring life back to the entire desert?

Mina decided to go out and find more real holy springs.

After bidding farewell to Ovilia, Mina headed straight for Anlos.

This time, Mina went directly to the palace.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is enjoying afternoon tea.

His most outstanding daughter, Belindaine, has become the personal disciple of the Guardian God.

This brought great comfort to His Majesty the Emperor.

It can be said that as long as the lineage of the Guardian God continues, the Tyriel family will prosper forever.

Unfortunately, Belindaine has become even more silent since returning from Angus.

When asked about her and Mina, there was no further news.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Mina.

Perhaps the two were never meant to be.

"What are you thinking about, brother?" The sudden voice startled His Majesty the Emperor. He turned around and saw that it was Mina, the kid. Instantly, a grin spread across His Majesty's face.

"I was just wondering when you could come over and have a couple of drinks with me."

Mina swung the gourd in his hand.

"Here we are. How about it? Wine in a gourd, first time, huh?"

He laughed and tossed the gourd of wine to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Taste the craftsmanship of the world's top water makers."

Mina is quite confident in her skills.

The emperor smiled, and mimicking Mina, he uncorked the bottle and gulped down a large mouthful.

In that instant, His Majesty's magical energy nearly boiled and erupted.

For a fleeting moment, the power within him involuntarily erupted.

"Good wine! Good wine!"

The emperor looked at Mina, who had previously said that he was the world's top water builder, but he thought it was just a joke.

But now, I've come to believe it somewhat.

"Mina, what level have you reached?"

Now that Mina was standing in front of him, he was somewhat at a loss for words.

Mina laughed and said, "Just starlight."

"hiss."

In less than two years, it went from legendary to star.

Karen suddenly shook her head and chuckled.

I had previously tried to match Mina with my own Belinda, but now it seems I was just being wishful.

The two of them are probably from different worlds now.

Starlight.

You should know that the guardian deity is none other than Starshine.

"Let's not talk about anything else today, let's drink."

Mina made another gourd, and the two of them drank until they were completely drunk.

Today, there are no Prince Anlos or His Majesty the Emperor, only Mina and Karien, two close friends despite their age difference.

The next day, Mina went to the temple of guardians and, with his authority, easily entered Anne's palace.

Continuing further in, you'll see a staircase that goes almost all the way up.

As Mina climbed higher and higher, he saw some cultivators.

I've heard that An has taken on quite a few students over the years.

It seems these students are also practicing here.

Feel the magic and elements of this Tower of Babel.

Hmm, it must have been built by the woman in purple. An doesn't have that kind of skill yet.

The higher you go, the more concentrated the elements become, but the fewer cultivators remain here.

His strength has also increased from legendary to demigod.

But there was one exception.

Belindaine.

Mina looked at the door to the room, thought for a moment, and slowly pushed it open.

"teacher?"

Belindaine snapped out of her meditation and turned to look back with surprise.

No one but her teacher could enter her room silently in this tower.

But, the moment she turned around and saw the person who had come, she suddenly froze.

“Mina…”

"Hey, long time no see."

Mina smiled, and seeing Belinda's blank stare, she stepped forward and waved the sign in front of her.

"How can you not recognize me?"

"Mina!"

Belinda woke up with a start.

"You're back?"

Belindani naturally knew, and was one of the few people in Anlos who knew that Mina Ansana and Lucia had gone to the Void Tower.

She thought that the two of them might part ways here, and when they met again in a hundred or a thousand years, they would smile at each other.

But unexpectedly, I saw Mina here.

And this has only been a few months.

"By the way, where's the teacher?"

Belinda suddenly woke up and quickly looked behind Mina, searching for Ann's shadow.

She knew about her teacher's journey to the depths of the land of inheritance.

She was all too aware of that danger.

But seeing no sign of the teacher behind Mina made Belinda's heart sink.

A bad feeling welled up inside me.

The teacher wouldn't...

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking? If your teacher knew you were cursing her, she'd probably yell at me again."

Mina chuckled and told Belindaine that she would leave An in Shagus for a while to handle things there.

This relieved Belinda.

"Did you come here this time also to find a place to cultivate in the cultivation tower?"

Belinda looked at Mina.

“I know a place that’s closest to the Holy Spring, but I can’t get in. I don’t have the strength or authority to do so. But I think you could try going there.”

Although she knew that Mina had returned from the Tower of the Void and vaguely knew about the training environment there, which was perhaps several times more efficient than the training tower of Anlos, Belindani still said so.

Mina smiled and said, "Okay, take me to see it."

Belinda cheerfully composed herself and led the way for Mina.

The two walked upwards for about an hour, climbing countless floors.

At their speed, they could probably climb two or three times the height of the main peak.

Finally, Belinda stopped in front of a room.

"This is it. You were able to save your teacher in Shagus back then, so you'll definitely be able to get here too."

Belinda Nicole knew far more about Mina's abilities than her father, Carey.

Mina nodded and pushed open the door to the room.

The energy that emanated in that single instant was enough to make Belinda feel refreshed and invigorated.

However, the little girl still had her own principles. She did not go in with Mina to freeload in his room for cultivation, but instead prepared to turn around and go back to her own room.

Mina called out to her.

"Where?"

"Of course I'll go back to cultivate."

Mina shook her head and smiled, "Come in and cultivate together. This place suits you better."

Belinda shook her head in refusal.

"I'm not strong enough, and I don't have the necessary permissions to get in. Even if you force me in, I'm afraid you'll trigger the restrictions inside..."

Mina closed the door to the meditation room again.

"Then I won't go in."

Belindani froze, then immediately exclaimed, "No, this should be the most suitable room for you. It may not be as good as your Void Tower, but it should at least be one of the top training grounds in the entire Anlos, and even the entire Senanhill..."

Mina smiled and shook her head.

"Come with me, I'll take you to a better place."

With that, Mina headed straight for the stairs that led upwards.

Belinda was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "If you keep going up, that's where only teachers can go. You can't go up there..."

Belinda's words came to an abrupt halt.

Mina brazenly ascended the stairs that only Ann could climb in the past.

"I already told you, come with me."

As Belinda listened to Mina's words, she gritted her teeth and tried to take a step forward.

The magical barrier I had in mind did not exist.

Just as she stepped through a curtain of water and light, she ascended the stairs to a higher level.

The two continued upwards.

It was as if there were no restrictions or obstacles.
