Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

Dago snapped his fingers lightly, and soon a rustling sound of branches and leaves rustling came from the nearby jungle.

Before long, a lame gray goat frolicked out of the bushes and ran quickly to Dago, nudging his feet affectionately with its furry head.

Dago casually patted the gray goat on the back of its neck, then put it back into his spatial ring.

Ever since the Great Ice Serpent was possessed by Behelit, this mechanical gray goat named "Bronte III" has become Dago's only pet, and Dago lets it out for walks whenever he has free time.

Over the course of more than a year, the two of them, one man and one sheep, have developed a deep bond, and Brontë III is now extremely dependent on him.

Just as Dago was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a disturbance in a communication stone within his spatial ring. He took it out to check, gave a brief reply, and then stood there quietly waiting.

Not long after, a figure appeared from the sky.

"The spiritual energy array and inheritance secret realm within the Dharma Ring, which amplify your spiritual power a hundredfold, are freely open to you. Yet you, the Holy Son of the Dharma Ring, always prefer to come to this desolate wilderness with sparse energy to cultivate."

The newcomer had flowing blond hair, a handsome face, and wore a cool silver robe. He was none other than Orion, who had become quite friendly with Dago after the Wizards competition.

"I'm used to it."

Dago casually replied, then asked Barker, "Did you come here because of news from the central region?"

For nearly a year, Dago had been waiting for the wizard from the central "Omnipotent Ring" who was supposed to come and take him away. Barker was also one of the geniuses recommended to headquarters by the Silver Ring.

Therefore, any news from the "Omnipotent Ring" is always relayed to Dargo by Barker.

"There's news."

Barker nodded. "It's just not good news."

"What do you mean?"

"We just got in touch with the people at headquarters. The wizard who came from headquarters to the south to guide us a year ago encountered a small accident, so headquarters sent another group of people over. We may have to wait a while longer."

"Accident?!"

Dago couldn't help but frown.

Orion explained, "You underestimate the difficulty of a journey across two continents. The vast distances can breed all sorts of unexpected situations. It's quite common to find yourself suddenly tied down and unable to get away for a short period of time."

Dago nodded and said nothing more.

Aurian, however, took out a palm-sized metal box from under his robes and handed it to Dago.

"My master asked me to give you a part of the core inheritance of the Thorn Ring. Originally, the plan was for you to make your own decision after entering the headquarters of the Omnipotent Ring. However, due to the delay in your journey, I brought it to you ahead of time."

"Your soul imprint isn't fully formed yet, is it?"

As Dago listened to Orion's description, his expression shifted slightly. He took the metal box that Orion handed him, opened it, and found a few runestones simply placed inside.

"Thanks."

Dago put away the metal box and thanked Orian.

Orion simply shook his head, leaving behind the casual remark, "Contact me anytime if anything happens," before turning and leaving.

Half an hour later, Dago slowly landed in a secluded valley.

With a gentle mental push, Dago parted the silver curtain of the waterfall, revealing the moss-covered stone wall behind it. However, he didn't rush in but instead stared thoughtfully at the rune stones in his hand.

As Orion said, these runestones contain the core inherited spells of the Magic Circle, a series of soul imprints related to the [Omnipotent Magic Circle] system, and some related cultivation insights.

Spells and insights mean nothing to Dago. With the inheritance of the Golden Law, he naturally wouldn't switch to the "crystal" spells created by the ring masters of the Thorn Ring. Ordinary level three elemental spells are also useless to him. The main thing is the soul imprint of the Omnipotent Ring.

Dago already knew that the [Omnipotent Ring] seal was not a single one, but rather a series of seals.

"[The Rhythm of the Wind] [The Breath of the Earth] [The Pulse of Fire]".

Dago now possesses seven different elemental seals.

"Any three runes combined can form the most basic [Omnipotent Magic Ring], which amplifies the power of spells of a specific element by thirty times for a specific period of time."

After Dago reached the peak of level three, he still had four soul crystals available. This meant that if he chose to use these four soul crystals to condense the [Omnipotent Magic Ring], he could obtain a forty-fold increase in spell power under certain conditions.

"If I hadn't received Isidore's legacy, and hadn't had a more suitable rune to choose from, I might have really gone down the path of the [Omnipotent Ring]."

Dago looked at the runestone in his hand and muttered to himself, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

At this moment, unseen by anyone, numerous flashes of inspiration were passing through his mind like lightning.

-

He had been troubled by how to condense the [Arcane] runes into soul imprints, but now, the unique imprint system of the [Omnipotent Magic Ring] gave him great inspiration.

"A single spiritual crystal is too small to inscribe the complete [Spell Control] rune. Even if it is successfully inscribed, it will be unable to withstand the energy impact of a hundred times the power once it is activated in battle."

"But what if I break down [God's Law]?"

Just like the [Omnipotent Magic Ring], it is broken down into individual runes, which are then combined to form a complete [Spell Control] rune!

"This path might be feasible!"

Dago took a deep breath, and the long-awaited dawn was finally in sight.

While the Omnipotent Ring is powerful, it has many limitations. To maximize its power, one must continuously learn more elemental spells. In every aspect, it cannot compare to the Magic Control.

Given even the slightest chance, Dago would choose [Spell Control] without hesitation. This was not only due to the difference in spell power amplification by dozens of times, but also because it concerned the rank of his future elemental spirit.

"I currently have four blank spiritual energy crystals, which means I need to split the [Art of Law] into four parts."

"Even four copies might still feel like a stretch. We might have to discard a few existing talismans that are less useful to make room for splitting the [Arcane] talisman."

Of course, the best outcome would be to not erase any of the existing runes, since the five soul runes that Dago currently possesses are all important to his major spell systems, and losing any one of them would reduce his abilities in a certain aspect.

"If only we could set foot in the Forbidden Zone of the Mist, we could condense another spiritual energy crystal, giving us another location to split."

After deciding on this approach, Dago immediately felt an urge to try it out.

But he managed to suppress it.

He has only comprehended one-third of the [Armor] rune so far, and it would be best to wait until he has fully comprehended it before deciding on how to break it down.

With that thought in mind, Dago calmed himself down, passed through the moss-covered stone wall in front of him, and stepped into Bernal's private secret space.
