Chapter 126: Forming mana seed (b)

A young snowy-haired boy could be seen climbing one floor after another. From his expression, one could infer that he wanted to reach the very top.

In the awakened continent, the meditation Skills were classified as rare treasures. Not only were these skills not sold in the open market, but many noble houses, academies, and sects also didn't teach mediation techniques to outsiders who have become a part of their family.

A person doesn't get such a skill unless he performs a great deed.

Mana meditation techniques were necessary to breakthrough from one rank to another. Without one, an awakened will never be able to break through to another realm, no matter how great his potential is.

The paradise of mages of Zachary's palace had ten floors, the first four flour stored the low-rank spells and mana meditation skills. Fifth to the eighth floor stored high-rank spells and mana mediation skills whereas the ninth and tenth floor stored the best books in the entire world.

"Elder sister Nina told me that the tenth floor stores a supreme rank meditation skill, it's the best treasure in Zachary's palace," Whittaker said with a smile. 

As he was crossing the seventh floor, a black sheen darkened his gaze, almost as if it was a threatening gaze. When he turned his head to look at the source, the book of gossip was reflected in his eyes!

"Omg! Did this book chase me here?" Whittaker's soul shock out of his mouth, surprised by the revelation of having a stalker.

[Ding! The book of gossip is making it easy for the Guardian to have access to it. In every library, the Guardian will be able to find a book of gossip, hence it doesn't matter how far away the Guardian is from the Royal Frost Fall Academy!] The system's mechanical voice rang beside his ears.

Hearing his words, Whittaker shook his head left and right. "Seems like I will have to fulfill my side of the deal or else, I will face punishment!" He muttered with a disgruntled expression and continued on his journey.

Soon after, he reached the tenth floor. Normally, this place was forbidden and many traps and restriction formation will be activated if someone entered this place but Whittaker didn't meet any restriction as he had the master card in his hand.

Whittaker followed the directions provided by elder sister Nina. He entered the spatial gateways at the right wall, took many left and right turns, walked past dozens of spatial gateways, and arrived at the end hall of the tenth floor of the library. It was a dark place lit up with many light orbs.

Here he saw a jade scroll placed above a twinkling platform with darkish cyan symbols.

Ding,

Skill name: Grand Vortex Tree Creation  System's rating: Supreme

Requirement: Mage

Type: Spatial

Description: One of the rarest mana meditation techniques in the awakened continent. It uses both mana and soul force to grow a mana seed. The end form of the mana seed is the Grand Vortex Tree which is capable of devouring mana and soul essence from every beings.

Whittaker was staring at the transparent screen with one eye and the book with another; However, his hands have already grasped the book and opened it up. 

The original book was written in ancient and runic language; However, Elder Zachary had translated it into English in three years as even he felt that the original book was too hard to read. In the end, it has benefited Whittaker who rummaged through the first sections of the book in sixty seconds. The book had seven sections but the first section was enough to make a breakthrough to E-rank mage.

[Ding! The Guardian has learned the first part of the Grand Vortex Tree Creation skill. 

[Grand Vortex Tree Creation skill (Vol:1)

Effect: Consumes 999 units of mana to form a devouring mana seed in the mana pool. Requires a lot of time.

Effect 2: The Guardian gains 10 Units of mana every 1 hour of meditation.]

Do the Guardian want to use 999 units of mana to form a devouring mana seed in the mana pool?

Yes/No

Warning: The Guardian cannot move from his place and must meditate otherwise, the devouring mana seed won't be formed 

He sat cross-legged on the ground because he wanted to fastly reach the E-rank mage. 'Not only will I become more powerful but also obtain a skill from the system!' 

"Yes!" Whittaker silently thought this in his head. Suddenly, he beamed a smile as he felt the mana in his mana pool whisking towards the middle. Feeling the mysterious changes that his mana pool was undergoing, Whittaker closed his eyes to enter a deep state of meditation. He focused all his attention to move the units of mana towards the center of his body.

The Guardian has entered a deep meditation state. The devouring mana seed will be formed in the mana pool before the Guardian meditation ends

The Guardian will wake up after 72 hours

Whittaker was too deep in meditation to listen to what the system has said. His attention was entirely focused on the tiny mana devouring seed forming piece by piece at the center of his mana pool.

Suddenly, a clinking sound resounded even though no one was nearby Whittaker. And, it continued to grow as the pendent of Night shock viciously, scratching Whittaker skin until it bled, dying the black pendant scarlet.

From the surrounding, Mana rushed into the pendent of Night that produced a lustrous shine unique to itself. The clinking noise also turned thunderous yet Whittaker wasn't disturbed awake from his meditation as the thunderous clinking sound was almost inaudible to him.

The Pendent released a spiritual shine that drilled itself into Whittaker's mana pool, forming an ethereal seed right beneath the mana seed.

As Usual, the semitransparent screen appeared in front of his eyes, showing information that will shock him once he steps out of the meditative state.

[Ding! Congratulations, the Guardian has ignited the Bloodline of Night...
