Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 126 Void Magic
The environment wasn't actually very quiet, as it was dark and everyone had come on short notice.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to calm down in such an environment.

But once Lu Cang opened the book, he became completely absorbed in it.

The person enters a state of high concentration...

Lu Cangxian first learned the "Ansu Secret Language".

"An Interpretation of Several Ancient Languages" reveals the need for "Ono Code," which is to understand the ancient Ansu language.

In the eyes of others.

Despite the vast amount of information in the book, Lu Cang was flipping through it at a rate of one page every ten seconds or so.

Occasionally, when his hand touched the fire-writing paper beside him, some writing would be left behind.

After reading a dozen or so pages, Lu Cang would occasionally look up at the contents of the fire-written paper, as if verifying something.

Although I can't truly empathize with him.

But just looking at him, you can feel a focused and calming atmosphere.

It was so easy for me to enter such a focused state.

Kumiloni was also somewhat surprised.

There is so much knowledge to learn in this world. Entering such a focused state of flow can undoubtedly increase learning efficiency several times, or even dozens of times.

Learning can be divided into learning and understanding.

Sometimes, a single moment of profound insight can be more valuable than decades of arduous study.

However, when it comes to learning a language, comprehension is less effective.

Of course, no one was just waiting for Lu Cang to solve the mystery.

Everyone has their own things to do.

People came and went, bringing things in and taking things away.

Iz entered that hidden space with Akari.

They came back about ten minutes later.

When they returned, they were carrying two living people, indicating that someone was hiding in that space.

Then, in less than half an hour, Lu Cang finished reading the language book and gained a basic understanding of the "Ansu Secret Language".

Lu Cang closed the book.

The clergyman stationed in the area was taken aback.

"Have you...finished studying?"

"Yes, I know how."

Lu Cang looked at the clergyman beside him and smiled broadly.

This clergyman had been stationed in this area. He watched as Lu Cang sat down to study, instantly radiating an aura of focused concentration…

When Lu Cang closed the book, he also felt that Lu Cang's focused aura disappeared.

This is the legendary Lu Cang.

Even from a distance, just by looking at his aura, one can sense that he is an extraordinary genius.

"Sister Kumironi, how's the secret letter coming along?"

Lu Cang sensed and looked toward the secret chamber to the side.

Kumironi responded in Lu Cang's mind: "No, these two people can't understand the secret message either."

"It seems this secret letter has a very high level of authority."

"Hmm... I'm starting to get a clue. Sister Kumironi might have to wait a little while."

After learning the "Ansu Secret Language", we'll now learn the "Ono Code".

Lu Cang opened another book, and the moment he opened the page, he entered a state of complete concentration.

The transition is smooth and seamless.

Those who sensed Lu Cang's presence upon witnessing this scene couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This is the difference between myself and a genius...

The amount of time someone else can focus on a cup of tea is equivalent to several months of hard work and study.

Another half hour passed.

During this time, even without Lu Cang's reminder, Izzy discovered quite a few secrets.

However, not all secrets are good things.

For example, the secret of sealing the Thousand Ant Mountain was hidden by himself, but if someone else opens it, they will be surprised to be confronted by a Tier 4 Nation-Destroying Monster.

"Peeping into secrets" simply means knowing that something is hidden.

As for whether what's hidden is something good... well, that's hard to say.

boom!
boom!
bang...

Izzy unraveled many things, but also triggered many internal traps.

Fortunately, they were strong enough that they were not harmed.

Lu Cang has finally finished learning "Ono Coding".

They began working on deciphering the secret message.

On a dozen or so sheets of pyrography paper, a series of symbols were burned, followed by a series of formulas... The characters on the secret letter were converted one by one according to the formulas.

With the skills of a decryption scholar, decryption is a breeze for him.

The key to deciphering the code was revealed very easily.

Once you know the conditions required for decryption, you can basically just follow the formulas one by one to crack it.

It saved a lot of hard work.

If it were a typical codebreaker, the first step would be to find a way to decipher this secret letter...

The decryption difficulty is level 4, meaning that a normal decryption scholar would need to be at level 4 to forcibly crack it.

However, deciphering such things is like a key and a lock.

Forcibly unlocking it is certainly difficult, but as long as you find the corresponding key, it will open with a simple twist.

The principles of decryption scholars are to discourage forced decryption.

"I figured it out."

Swah——

Kumironi appeared beside Lu Cang.

"Really!"

An elder from the Temple of Life just arrived; that elder is a scholar from the Temple of Life…

The Church of Life is not entirely composed of healers and planters. In order to ensure the comprehensiveness of the church's functions, it actually recruits all kinds of job changers; it's just a matter of how many.

He had just examined the coded letter; it must have used a very special encryption method, perhaps requiring a level 4 decryption expert to crack.

Scholars who decipher secret documents are a rare profession.

Although it only requires level 4, it is as rare as a level 6 regular profession.

"Well, really."

Lu Cang scanned the deciphered secret message and read it aloud:
“Miles, the final sacrifice will take place in the Valley of the Deep Fall on December 1st.”

"Before this date, a living person who meets the spiritual requirements must be sent to the Valley of the Deep."

"This matter concerns Bai Jiang, please destroy this letter after reading it."

The entire secret letter, when deciphered, consists of only three short sentences.

The amount of information... is terrifyingly large.

"Location, date, living person, white descent."

Kumiloni looked extremely serious.

"If what you say is true... Lu Cang, you have indeed extracted very important information for us."

The White Descent, perhaps a divine descent concerning death and destruction.

The day the moon changes phases is also the day when the seasonal effects of the moon are most pronounced...

Although it is unknown how successful their ritual was.

But no matter what, this kind of thing should not be allowed to happen.

“Amo.”

Swish!
A figure in a green robe appeared beside Kumironi.

A piece of gold-green paper appeared in Kumironi's hand, on which rows of text instantly appeared, and at the same time, a gold-green mark was stamped on the lower right corner of the paper.

"Give this letter to the bishop."

"Yes, Lord Kumironi."

A man named Amo took the paper from Kumironi and disappeared.

"Little Lu Cang, the Church of Life will always remember your help..."

Lu Cang shook his head: "It's nothing. I'm happy to be able to help Sister Kumironi."

"I don't know how to repay your help."

What Lu Cang said came from the bottom of his heart.

Kumironi chuckled: "The information you provided might concern the very survival of the entire Ruilen..."

"No, it might not just be Ruilen."

"If the white descent really happens."

Kumironi gazed into the distance... No one knew how much harm the true god, representing death and destruction, would bring to the world once he descended.

Although the success rate of such rituals is extremely low.

But if it succeeds, it might be a crisis that destroys the world.

“This is not a personal favor; you have deciphered the secret message, and the Church of Life will remember it.”

……

The next few hours.

Chi Cheng and Iz had disappeared again, so Lu Cang made copies of all the important books to prevent the church members who came and went from taking them away and leaving him with nothing to read.

These books that need to be sealed away will be available for everyone to use.

They also turned a blind eye.

Let yourself see it first, or make a copy first...

With Kumironi protecting them, everyone was very sensible.

Is this what it feels like to have privilege?
Having privileges is great.

[A method for creating spatial containers capable of storing living beings through sacrificial rituals.]

There's actually such a method?

The need for human sacrifice is far too gruesome.

It requires an enchanter to complete... Does that mean Aijin should learn this method? It doesn't feel quite right.

However, if one could obtain a container to store living organisms, one might be able to carry the ant mountain with them.

Let's talk to Iz about it.

As for the living... can those captured heretics of the Church of Death be used?

It seems we still need to consider moral issues. From what we know so far, the Kingdom of Loren is a country with a high level of morality. I wonder if it's appropriate to use death row inmates in this case.

Sigh, what a pity that I've been in this other world for so long and haven't encountered any mortal enemies.

If he had a few enemies, Lu Cang could use them as blood sacrifices without any guilt.

It seems that not having any enemies isn't necessarily a good thing.

In fact, besides hidden knowledge...

Some other books also contain valuable information.

For example, second- or third-tier death spells.

You can learn it directly on your own.

You can learn it using a mage's level even if you don't have the Death Priest level.

I came here with Izzy and the others.

The harvest was truly plentiful.

Lu Cang has now tried to trigger all the hidden things he can perceive.

As for those that couldn't be triggered... Lu Cang gave Iz and the others a hint.

With Lu Cang's help.

Kumironi and his group not only learned about the final sacrifice, but also the locations of the other strongholds of the Church of Death. Lu Cang even deciphered a list of members of the Church of Death...

The Church of Death existed for thousands of years despite being strictly prohibited.

The reason they can live so long is because they are well hidden and their methods of communication are secretive enough.

But the members of the Church of Death probably never expected this.

The information I painstakingly encrypted was so easily cracked by a level 1 decryption expert.

They should have destroyed this intelligence.

Unfortunately, the attack was too sudden. The level 6 Chi Cheng attacked them head-on, leaving them no chance to react.

The Church of Life and the Kingdom's Inquisition have now been mobilized.

Judging from Kumiloni's instructions to these people, it's clear that a new round of clearing operations has begun.

Unexpectedly, I have stirred up such a bloody storm because of myself.

It's late now.

Tonight's discoveries: a temporary spiritual enhancement ritual, a method for creating a spatial container for storing living beings, and how to make a death puppet...

"Almost all of them are evil magic..."

Aside from these evil rituals, alchemy methods, and knowledge.

They also learned one fourth-tier, two third-tier, and two second-tier death spells after the upgrade.

I don't know why these people would hide so much secret information in books.

If we weren't able to uncover secrets, how many hidden legacies would we miss?

Finally, they scanned the entire outpost one last time.

I've read all the books I needed to read and explored all the secrets I needed to investigate. There's nothing more for me to do here.

Tomorrow is the God of War Cup tournament.

If he's absent, it's considered a defeat... Lu Cang really wants that Prophet's professional scroll.

It's a unique professional exam paper, and I've heard it's much better than ordinary professional exam papers.

Moreover, the word "prophet" sounds like a superior replacement for the diviner.

If I mastered the professional abilities of a prophet, I might not need to rely on fortune tellers in the future.

Pali did help him a lot, but the fortune teller also caused Lu Cang a lot of psychological trauma.

"Akagi, may I go back now?"

"It is indeed getting late, so let me take you home."

The journey from the City in the Circle to here is too far.

My current speed is indeed very fast, but compared to Chi Cheng, it's still worlds apart.

It takes him half an hour to run back; if I were to run back, it would probably be dawn by then.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to exchange many magical insights with Iz today.

All their energy was devoted to cracking these secrets.

However, Izzy also said that they probably wouldn't go too far for a while, and there would be another opportunity to continue talking about magic later.

Also, tomorrow Kumironi will help me advance to Level 2 Decryption Scholar.

As for level 4 mages...

Izzy gave herself the "Anzheng Manuscript" and "Magic Enhancement".

Regarding magic enhancement techniques, I still remind myself not to continue learning further until I reach the corresponding stage; it's best not to look at them for now...

I'll read it all myself before I go for the promotion.

……

Back to the hotel.

Lu Cang lay on the bed, learning the fourth-level magic enhancement technique.

"Magic controls infinite elements, deciphers arcane arts, and dissects the soul..."

Looking back at the writing of the magic enhancement spell now, it evokes a completely different and profound feeling.

"Magic Enhancement Spell Stage 4: Void Magic"

Lu Cang understood...

In the instant of understanding, the magic power within Lu Cang's body was no longer a flowing liquid or gas, but rather a void that existed in the state of being either yes or no.

Magic is born from nothingness in every corner of one's body.

After its birth, it returned to nothingness.

If the magic of the past was tangible and could be intercepted and captured by people.

The magic we know today is completely formless and intangible.

When needed, it can be separated from the nature of nothingness in an instant, transforming the void into reality.

"Such a profound realization..."

Reading this book is like reading Izzy's thoughts.

That's truly an amazing idea.

"And my body is the law... What would happen if I transformed my body like magic?"

"No, it's better not to try it lightly."

Lu Cang sensed some danger; he might really be reduced to nothingness.

I have already learned the fourth stage of the magic enhancement spell.

Lu Cang then looked at An Zheng's manuscript, which was sent along with the Void Spirit Starwood. However, this manuscript was intended for both Izzy and himself.

I've heard that he's the highest-ranking magician in the world.

Level 8 mage.

This manuscript had been studied by Izzy for some time.

Lu Cang didn't mind, because Iz also needed to make sure that the knowledge contained there was not dangerous.

After all, it's something left behind by an 8th-level mage.

In unforeseen circumstances, it is indeed possible for a level 2 mage to suffer a mental breakdown.
