Standing at the highest point, overlooking below, is a very wonderful thing.
Watching those stunned and dazed faces gradually transform into shock, uproar, bewildernt, and disbelief....
The atmosphere shifts from silence to commotion, ultimately becoming a roaring storm, with Ronan right at the center of this storm.
The astonishing and striking display under everyone’s gaze brings not only glory but also all sorts of "criticisms" like thorns on one’s back.
It’s as if you have "stolen" so predetermined expectation from them, as if you have committed an unforgivable sin.
Clearly, you climbed to this position step by step under everyone’s watchful eyes, clearly many among them...also long to replace you on this spot.
Ronan has experienced standing at the highest point many tis.
He still rembers the first ti he climbed to the top of the Seventh Magic Ring tower, like a child using the Wanxiang Treasure Pearl to record the various sceneries seen from the tower top.
That should have been the first ti he proved himself, the satisfaction, excitent, and thrill of that mont, irreplaceable... Now it’s all like silt sinking into the riverbed, washed away by ti, leaving only tranquility.
The "Deep Knowledge Crown" atop his head transmits an icy touch, like sothing connecting into his consciousness, soul.
Spiritual power unfolds like a tide, resisting everything that cos along with the glow around him.
Ronan turns around and sees several high-ranking Wizards of the Deep Sea standing at the pinnacle of the Crystal Palace.
Their "gazes" carry a certain "sharp" scrutiny, especially one Wizard, probably a mber of the Elder Council behind Misha, is particularly stark and cold.
Ronan bears this invisible pressure and calmly greets the lead figure among them, the Grey Robe.
When the other party nods slightly in return, those scrutinizing gazes retreat significantly, and a not-so-small ripple arises beneath the tower where he stands.
"Indeed, it’s quite marvelous, isn’t it?"
Ronan whispered to himself in his mind.
He suddenly recalled that little chubby guy nad Cosk he encountered in the first round of the duel, who had shouted furiously, "With thunder, to shatter the decayed darkness beneath this deep sea."
Perhaps, at this very mont....
He is that lightning tearing through the dusk.
.......
Mist Space.
Ronan quietly sits cross-legged on the moist black earth, before him, the "Deep Knowledge Crown" floating silently.
This is a crown crafted from pure colorless crystal, each facet smooth as a mirror, refracting dazzling light, yet bearing no traces of artificial polishing, seemingly naturally ford.
The crown is wave-shaped, with a large teardrop-shaped sapphire at the top center, flanked symtrically by three pairs of smaller sapphires, each surrounded by golden vine patterns, extending into tiny crystal leaves at the ends.
Exquisite, luxurious, mysterious, majestic.
The Deep Knowledge Crown symbolizes wisdom, calmness, and eternity.
Now, it belongs to Ronan.
If there’s any substantial benefit he gained after the selection of the Son of the Deep Sea, it would probably be this.
Ronan lifts the crystal crown before him and gently places it on his head.
So extrely complex and mysterious golden runes on the Crystal Crown light up, and then, as if icy transparent tentacles extend from the crown, quietly connecting to Ronan’s consciousness, linking to his soul.
In an instant, Ronan feels his perception rapidly extending outward.
Spiritual power surges like tides, wave after wave, pushing forward, rolling back....
His mind naturally enters into a calm akin to the ocean, as if suddenly placed by the seaside, feeling the rhythm of the tide’s rise and fall.
"It seems to be an advanced ditation Technique..."
Ronan opens his eyes, with a hint of insight.
He opens his character panel and indeed sees the newly added [Tide ditation thod] in the skills section, barely entry-level, with proficiency still (1/100).
Ronan is slightly surprised to find a high-level ditation technique inheritance hidden within the Deep Knowledge Crown.
Moreover, the Deep Knowledge Crown itself seems to have a certain enhancing effect on this ditation thod, making his entry-level access very smooth.
If a typical Wizard obtained this, they might be ecstatic, but Ronan already has the [Ancient Star ditation], so the [Tide ditation thod] isn’t sothing particularly necessary for him.
Comparatively speaking, the increase in spiritual power brought by the "Deep Knowledge Crown" and its function of maintaining serenity and purity of mind are more valuable to him.
It also has a strong soul defense effect, making it a rather precious supportive Dawn Rank Magic Tool.
"Where’s the rune?"
Ronan habitually seeks to explore the core rune of the Deep Knowledge Crown.
He plunges his spiritual power in, pushing aside layers of surging tides, diving into the "Deep Sea."
Soon, Ronan "sees" a huge, glowing blue rune.
He had seen the [Magic Control] rune, vast as a planet, surrounded by countless rune teors in the Magic-controlling Bracelet; although the core rune inside the Deep Knowledge Crown is equally impressive, it’s still far from stunning Ronan.
What truly surprises Ronan are the strange runes, like familiar red tadpoles, surrounding the core rune of the Deep Knowledge Crown.
"Ancient Spirit Text?!"
Ronan did not expect to encounter Ancient Spirit Texts here.
Moreover, these Ancient Spirit Texts were all ones he had never morized before.
A total of two thousand three hundred and eighty-two, matching exactly the number stored within the Tower of Knowledge!
"So the true number of Ancient Spirit Texts possessed by the Spirit Lake is four thousand seven hundred and sixty-four.
Even Heramus never obtained these two thousand three hundred and eighty-two Ancient Spirit Texts...."
Ronan’s expression was peculiar as he slowly approached the pile of Spiritual Texts.
Over two thousand Ancient Spirit Texts surrounded him like a school of fish while Ronan extended his hand, allowing a few Ancient Spirit Texts to lightly "peck" at his fingertips.
In an instant, the dark golden spirit core within Ronan’s consciousness space trembled slightly, and the densely packed Ancient Spirit Texts on the core’s surface seed to co to life, "running" out of Ronan’s body one by one.
In this "Deep Sea," the moving "fish swarm" imdiately grew larger.
Then, the core rune of the deep blue Deep Knowledge Crown began to glow and slowly operate.....
"Buzz——"
Ronan abruptly opened his eyes.
He wore a crown on his head, his eyes gleaming with strange light, and with his right hand, he pressed a single palm gently onto the ground.
Invisible ripples extended outward from his palm, followed by the ground ten ters away from Ronan rising rapidly, soil surging, and within monts, forming seven or eight strong and brawny Black Earth People over two ters tall.
Ronan’s five fingers contracted, and the Black Earth People, freshly risen from the ground, imdiately ran toward one spot, "bang," exploding in a circle of soil waves.
The soil waves rose, and behind the waves, a more massive figure walked out slowly, its body hard and shining like obsidian, constantly emitting circles of bright yellow energy aura while the ground beneath its feet trembled like waves.
In the center of this giant’s forehead, a pattern resembling an Ancient Spirit Text flickered gently.
"The ’Deep Knowledge Crown’ actually has such a function..."
Ronan released his hand, and the obsidian giant in front of him lost its power support; with a "boom," it collapsed into countless rock debris scattered across the ground.
"Summoning an Elental Life form, and... the upper limit is not low."
Ronan marveled at the wisdom of the wizard who created the "Deep Knowledge Crown," as he seed to discover an alternative way to exploit the mysteries of the Ancient Spirit Texts.
It was using Ancient Spirit Texts as the power core to create Elental Life forms that were more powerful than those summoned by conventional Spells.
For example, the Earth Elental Life that Ronan had previously summoned through the "Deep Knowledge Crown" had energy fluctuations reaching almost the Late Stage of a Level 4 Wizard.
Moreover, the summoning limit of this kind of Elental Life is extrely high; theoretically, as long as there is enough spiritual power, they can be produced endlessly.
Even an Elental Life Army!
"If I use the Ancient Star ditation and the Star Disk to calculate, integrating two or even more Ancient Spirit Texts, perhaps I can endow the Elental Life form with a more advanced core, summoning a more powerful Elental Life...."
Ronan pondered.
He began to realize that perhaps the original function of the "Deep Knowledge Crown" was a device for creating an army of Elental Life forms, with spiritual power amplification, soul defense, and the Tide ditation thod being rely additional features.
"It’s just that the requirents for Elental Energy are too high..."
Ronan shook his head, "Creating just a few Elental Lives can deplete free energy particles in an entire area. In general circumstances, it can only be used as a normal summoning Magic Tool..."
"If I’m not mistaken, this should have been intended to be used in conjunction with the Elent Pool.."
An old voice echoed in Ronan’s ear, causing him to pause, but he quickly responded.
"Alazan, so you were there?"
"Yes."
Alazan responded blandly.
Ronan’s eyes twinkled as he continued to inquire: "You said that the Deep Knowledge Crown was initially ant to be used in conjunction with the Elent Pool; what do you an?"
"After reaching Level 5, a wizard can construct their own Inheritance Array.
Each operation of the Inheritance Array requires enormous energy support, impossible to achieve during combat without the long-term energy reserves of the Elent Pool.
Moreover, the Elent Pool is also the energy source for the Elental Life Army...
The Deep Knowledge Crown you hold in your hand is indeed a quite good quality Elental Life Army Manufacturing Device. With the Elent Pool, it can continuously produce Elental Life.
You wouldn’t think that ancient wizards relied solely on their two feet to conquer and explore the Otherworld, would you?"
Alazan paused, then said, "If you are interested, I can provide you with a simple Elent Pool construction blueprint."
Ronan felt a bit tempted, but soon he shook his head, "Forget it."
Not because he was being polite with Alazan, but because at this stage, he simply doesn’t have the resources to build any Elent Pool, and even if he did build one, a vast army of Elental Lives would be of no use to him.
Alazan gave a soft "Hmm" and said no more.
Ronan continued to fiddle with the Deep Knowledge Crown for a while, then put it away, sitting quietly on the ground to contemplate.
