Chapter 427 - 216: Divine Blood Memories, Taking the Stage
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
Aside from his training, Pei Ze had poured all his energy into expanding the space within his Wizard Tower. It took him only two months to complete the expansion and build the central crystal’s energy transmission system.
At the very top of the Wizard Tower, on the Stargazing Platform.
Pei Ze looked at the faint golden patterns beneath his feet, a smile spreading across his face.
"No. 1, begin power supply."
With a soft HUM, the golden patterns at his feet suddenly lit up. The light spread rapidly in all directions, extending down the walls before disappearing into the corners.
Immediately after, one Sun Lamp after another lit up, soon illuminating the entire Stargazing Platform until it was as bright as day.
These Sun Lamps were not cheap, but their advantage was their durability; they could be used for hundreds of years.
Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction. With Tower Spirit No. 1 in charge of operating the central crystal’s energy transmission system, he no longer had to worry about the Wizard Tower’s power supply.
’Now all that’s missing is the Floating Ring, and the Wizard Tower’s energy supply will be complete.’
The materials for creating the Floating Ring had already been commissioned for purchase through the Travelers’ Association. They were now lying in his Space Ring, ready for him to begin crafting at any time.
However, Pei Ze did not start right away. Instead, he left the Wizard Tower.
’If I’m calculating the time right, the Divine Blood should be almost done purifying.’
Although he hadn’t neglected his training over the past two months, his progress had been quite slow.
As of now, Pei Ze’s elementalization progress was at 14.63%.
’Normal training is just too slow.’
Pei Ze sighed.
But he also knew he was being greedy. Increasing his elementalization by 0.6% in two months was already far beyond what an ordinary Elemental Mage could achieve.
Even a Chosen One definitely wouldn’t have his terrifying efficiency.
An ordinary Elemental Mage likely wouldn’t even see a 0.1% increase in two months.
Now, Pei Ze was counting on the Divine Blood to give him a pleasant surprise.
Lost in thought, Pei Ze arrived back at his residence and went straight to the Magic Laboratory.
Just as he expected, in the center of the now-darkened Array, a potion vial sat quietly on the floor. The Divine Blood within it no longer possessed its former violent and restless nature.
Delight blossomed in Pei Ze’s heart. With a wave of his hand, the potion vial levitated into the air and floated into his palm.
He focused his senses for a moment. After confirming that all the residual consciousness within the Divine Blood had been completely purged, a look of elation appeared on his face.
’I can absorb it now.’
Without hesitation, Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the floor. He tilted his head back and, without a second thought, downed the Divine Blood, then closed his eyes to perceive the changes in his body.
The instant the golden blood entered his stomach, an immensely powerful and vast energy erupted. After circulating once through his body, it surged madly toward his head as if it had found its target.
Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the incandescent Elemental Fire flared violently. The brilliant flames blazed, unceremoniously devouring the surging Thunder Elemental Energy.
Pei Ze held his breath and focused, controlling the influx of Thunder Elemental Energy to prevent it from coming in too fast, allowing the Elemental Fire to absorb it fully. At the same time, he summoned the Eye of Omniscience.
Sure enough, the number in his elementalization progress column was skyrocketing.
14.78%!
15.21%!
15.69%!
16.11%!
...
An unknown amount of time passed before the torrent of Thunder Elemental Energy suddenly faltered, then slowly diminished until it vanished completely.
Pei Ze opened his eyes and let out a long breath, his eyes filled with joy.
"Omniscience, inspect my current status."
[Elementalization (Thunder): 28.35%]
[Elemental Origin: 28.35]
Absorbing the Divine Blood had caused his elementalization progress to skyrocket by nearly fourteen percentage points!
Looking at the data fed back by the Eye of Omniscience, Pei Ze was nearly bursting with joy.
This was almost equivalent to three or four years of his training!
’Divine Blood, truly worthy of its name!’
’All that effort I spent purifying it wasn’t in vain!’
But the surge in his elementalization was just one aspect of it.
On the other hand, as he absorbed the Divine Blood, Pei Ze also absorbed a large number of its residual memories.
However, these memories were fragmented and intermittent, making it difficult for him to sift through them for anything useful at the moment.
But he didn’t need to do it himself.
"Omniscience, screen the memories for information useful to increasing my strength."
The Eye of Omniscience once again demonstrated its powerful information processing capabilities. In what seemed like just an instant, it had filtered out the content Pei Ze wanted.
Pei Ze carefully browsed the information in his mind.
’A method for converting Prayerers...’
A flicker of light crossed Pei Ze’s eyes.
In a Divine Plane, devout and outstanding believers are brought by a Divine Envoy to their respective Divine Realm after death to be reborn and attain eternity. These are the so-called Prayerers.
Prayerers can generally only exist within a Divine Kingdom and cannot linger for long in other places, including the material plane.
Simply put, Prayerers are essentially the soldiers and guards of a Divine Kingdom.
Almost every Divine Spirit has their own method for converting Prayerers.
But this method seemed to be of little use to Pei Ze. He wasn’t a Divine Spirit, and he had no believers’ souls to convert.
’However, since the Eye of Omniscience specifically filtered this out, it must mean the method is useful to me right now.’
Pei Ze checked the feedback from the Eye of Omniscience and had a sudden realization.
’So this method can be modified for use in creating golems.’
Pei Ze was delighted. ’If that’s the case, then this is great.’
Powerful golems could enhance the Wizard Tower’s combat strength, which was equivalent to indirectly increasing his own power.
Having a plan in mind, Pei Ze continued reading.
The second piece of information was about insights into the Rule of Lightning.
After all, it was Divine Blood from the Lord of Thunder, so having these memories was to be expected.
Pei Ze accepted it all without reservation.
Although these insights couldn’t provide an immediate boost to his elementalization progress, they could improve his ability to control Thunder Elemental Energy.
