Chapter 601: Chapter 566: Beyond-Visual-Range, Super-Wide-Area Forbidden Curse Ground-Washing (Part 2)
Li Wei opened a Space Teleportation Gate and returned to the Elemental Tower.
When he returned to the Elemental Tower, the entire population of the Floating City was abuzz with discussion about what had just happened.
The commotion from the Mirror of the Sky and the Destruction Demon Light was too immense.
There was no hiding it.
Everyone in the Floating City had seen it.
Naturally, they had also seen the vast Undead Army being destroyed.
At this moment, every face was filled with the joy of victory.
The Undead Calamity had plagued the Elemental Tower for nearly a year.
The past year had taken a significant toll on the residents of the Floating City.
After the Undead Calamity erupted, the Elemental Tower had sealed its Teleportation Gates, forbidding the residents of the Floating City from coming or going to prevent any unnecessary trouble.
They had essentially been confined to the Floating City for a year.
Now that the crisis of the Undead Calamity was over, everyone had regained their freedom and was, naturally, overjoyed and exhilarated.
When Li Wei reached the upper levels of the Elemental Tower, all the Legendary Mages there were smiling as well.
Although they weren’t discussing it as heatedly as the residents below and still maintained a composed demeanor, the smiles on their faces proved they were just as thrilled on the inside.
The Tower Master of the Elemental Tower saw Li Wei arrive, walked over, and said, "The credit for completely resolving the threat of the Undead Calamity this time belongs mainly to Li Wei."
"I hereby appoint Li Wei as an official councilor of the Elemental Tower."
Li Wei feigned a dark expression and said resentfully, "You almost got me killed."
"The Forbidden Curse was one thing, but what was that at the end? I nearly died!"
Faced with Li Wei’s accusation, the Tower Master quickly tried to placate him. "I’m very sorry for what happened," he said. "But the decision was made in haste. I notified you to retreat at the first opportunity. Time was tight; there was nothing more I could do."
"The power of the Destruction Demon Light truly exceeded my expectations. I am deeply sorry that you were caught in the blast."
"Of course, if Councilor Li Wei has any grievances, please voice them. I will find a way to compensate you."
The Tower Master was being quite amiable, considering he was facing the greatest hero of this battle.
At this, Li Wei’s expression softened. "I haven’t decided what I want yet," he said. "I’ll let you know when I do."
The Tower Master nodded. "Very well. As long as your request is within the Elemental Tower’s means."
"These are the four Forbidden Curses I promised you."
The Tower Master took out four Magic Scrolls, each containing a Forbidden Curse, and handed them to Li Wei.
The four Forbidden Curse Magic Scrolls were each a different color. Red, blue, yellow, and green represented the Fire Element Forbidden Curse, the Water Element Forbidden Curse, the Earth Element Forbidden Curse, and the Wind Element Forbidden Curse, respectively.
The four Forbidden Curses of earth, water, wind, and fire were the most basic Elemental Forbidden Curses.
More advanced Elemental Forbidden Curses included the Thunder Element Forbidden Curse, Light Element Forbidden Curse, Natural Element Forbidden Curse, Ice Element Forbidden Curse, and Dark Element Forbidden Curse...
Li Wei had only asked for the Forbidden Curse Techniques of the four basic elements.
Seeing that he finally had the Forbidden Curse Techniques, he felt a surge of joy and quickly put them away safely.
The Master of the Hall of Truth walked over and handed Li Wei an Identity Token.
He smiled and said, "From this day forward, Councilor Li Wei is a member of the Sunshine Secret Research Room. We’re pleased to have you."
Li Wei accepted the Identity Token and quickly returned the pleasantry. "Thank you, Hall Master. You’re too kind."
He had a rather favorable impression of the Master of the Hall of Truth.
He’d heard that when the Light Divine Sect had demanded the Elemental Tower hand him over, the Master of the Hall of Truth had spoken up on his behalf.
Naturally, Li Wei’s attitude toward the Master of the Hall of Truth was quite good.
What followed was a celebration.
The Elemental Tower also drafted a battle report to send to the Empire, claiming credit and requesting rewards.
Today, the entire Elemental Tower was immersed in the joy of celebrating their great victory.
Li Wei attended the victory banquet in the Elemental Tower.
He then went to a manor alone.
As soon as he stepped through the door, a voice called out from within.
"Sir, my master is not home at the moment. If you are here on a visit, please come back later."
Hearing the voice, Li Wei chuckled and said, "Kuro, don’t you even recognize me?"
The Magic Butler, Kuro, came out, his face showing surprise when he saw Li Wei.
"Mage Li Wei, you’ve returned."
Li Wei sat on the sofa, and Kuro stood by his side.
Diana brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Wei.
Li Wei was a bit puzzled and asked, "Where did Master Valen go?"
Kuro said, "Master left the Elemental Tower for the Imperial Capital. He didn’t tell us when he would be back."
Kuro and Diana were both Magic Puppets, the kind that possessed human souls and emotions.
After Zog Valen left the manor,
the two of them had remained within the manor, never once stepping outside. They also had no need for food.
They could function simply by recharging with Magic Crystals each day.
As a result, they knew little of what was happening outside.
They weren’t even aware that a great victory was being celebrated outside, which was why they were so surprised by Li Wei’s sudden arrival.
Li Wei nodded. "I see," he said.
"I’ll be staying here for a while."
Kuro nodded in acknowledgment. "Of course. Diana has always kept the room you used to stay in clean, Mage Li Wei."
Li Wei glanced at Diana. Dressed in a maid’s uniform, she stood to the side with a stern, unsmiling face.
"Thanks."
"It is a maid’s duty," Diana said.
Back in his old room, Li Wei took out the four Forbidden Curse Magic Scrolls from the Elemental Tower.
Fire Element Forbidden Curse: Celestial Fire World Destruction.
Water Element Forbidden Curse: Sea God’s Fury.
Earth Element Forbidden Curse: Heaven and Earth Shattering.
Wind Element Forbidden Curse: Destruction Storm.
For Li Wei, who possessed a proficiency panel, learning Forbidden Curses was not a difficult task.
He quickly learned all four Forbidden Curses.
All that remained was to become proficient in using the Forbidden Curse Techniques.
However, this was not Li Wei’s goal.
Li Wei hadn’t learned the Forbidden Curses just to become proficient in using them.
He already possessed attacks with power comparable to, or even greater than, that of a Forbidden Curse.
He was learning them to further enhance the power of his own attacks.
After advancing spells like the Fireball Skill to the Tier Six Perfect Level, he had found himself unable to push them any further.
Li Wei realized that he likely had to learn Forbidden Curses before he could develop Tier Seven spells.
Learning Forbidden Curses could raise the upper limit of his spell development.
At the same time, the process of learning Forbidden Curses would also broaden his horizons regarding High Tier magic.
That night, Li Wei entered the Dream World to grind his proficiency in the Forbidden Curses.
Forbidden Curses were difficult to cast, so grinding their proficiency was much slower than for ordinary magic.
After a full night, Li Wei had only managed to master one Forbidden Curse Technique to the Great Success Level.
The other Forbidden Curse Techniques were still at the Entry Level.
He wasn’t in a hurry.
’I have time now, anyway. I can take it slow.’
During the day, Li Wei went to the Hall of Truth’s Sunshine Research Room.
One of his reasons for returning to the Elemental Tower was to get his hands on Sunshine and analyze its power in relation to the Sun.
This was to further his comprehension of the Element Fusion Rules.
Li Wei requested access to the actual Sunshine.
Fang Lide told him that the Sunshine had all been used up and that there was currently none stored in the Elemental Tower.
They would have to wait for the next cycle to collect more from the Star Realm.
All the Sunshine had been used to create Radiant Magic Cannons.
It couldn’t be helped.
Faced with the crisis of the Undead Calamity, the Elemental Tower couldn’t afford to hold anything back.
They had immediately used all the Sunshine to bolster the Elemental Tower’s defenses.
The Empire had also purchased a large number of Radiant Magic Cannons, which had led to the Sunshine Research Room’s supply being depleted as well.
Now, the Sunshine Research Room had essentially halted all research, waiting for the next collection cycle. They could only resume their work after a sufficient amount of Sunshine was gathered.
Li Wei asked, "When is the next Sunshine collection?"
Fang Lide replied, "In about seven days. We have to wait for the Sun to eject a Flowing Flame containing Sunshine into the Star Realm. Only then will we have an opportunity to collect samples."
’Seven days? That should be enough time.’
Li Wei thought for a moment. He figured he could grind his Star Realm Roaming Technique to the Perfection Level in that time.
"I want to join the next Sunshine collection," he said.
"I will have to ask the Hall Master for permission," Fang Lide said. "Collecting Sunshine is an extremely dangerous affair. The power of the Flowing Flame ejected by the Sun is no less than that of a Forbidden Curse."
"I understand," Li Wei said. "Please submit the request for me."
Seeing his insistence, Fang Lide said no more.
Unable to obtain any Sunshine for now, Li Wei decided to focus on other matters.
He went to the Saint Villia Library to look up information on the Demon Seed, and while he was at it, he also searched for anything related to the Jade Prince.
Resolving the demonic scourge and dealing with the Jade Prince were other reasons he had come to the Elemental Tower.
