Chapter 190: Chapter 121: The Return of the Red Dragon to its Lair at the 8th Ring

"4-ring spells include an Invisible Floating Secret Technique Eye, long-distance surveillance to spy on others, detection to warn against eavesdropping, Biological Positioning to point out the direction of familiar creatures, Dissolution Resistance to enhance spell resistance, Misfortune Spell to cause bad luck for others, Analysis Weakness to understand weaknesses and resistances, and the ability to find precious gems and metals with Treasure-Scent Smell."

"Within the 5th ring, there is Otherworldly Inquiry which allows questioning of entities from different worlds, a floating Magic Eye peering into secrets, and Mind-link which enables allies to communicate telepathically."

"In the 6th ring are spells like Analysis Spell to reveal the magical status of targets, Legendary Understanding to learn about legends concerning a person, place, or item, True Knowledge to see the true nature of things, Detection Location to scout distant places, Thought Probe to read someone’s memories, Investigate Thoughts for a deeper examination of memories, Otherworldly Link for cross-dimensional mind-linking with allies, and Oracle’s Eye for glimpsing the future and a bit of foreknowledge."

"The 7th ring features advanced abilities of the Secret Technique Vision like Higher Secret Technique Vision, Higher Detection to probe superior beings, and Spirit Sight which can reveal more legends and even related illusions than Legendary Understanding."

"In the 8th ring is Precise Location to discern the exact location of creatures or items, Momentary Foresight which grants significant insight and a sixth sense, and a powerfully enhanced True Knowledge Magic Eye."

Gu Shanhai looked at the twenty-five constant Divination Spells on himself and thought, of course, these names sound imposing, yet in reality, they’re all weakened versions, nowhere near the power of the High Magic Era. If they were complete, Gu Shanhai wouldn’t have been able to make them constant.

There were quite a few duplicates, like Magic Eye and Higher Magic Eye, Detection and Higher Detection, but Gu Shanhai didn’t mind as they seemed to be stackable, for example, his vision now consisted of four perspectives: an Invisible Floating Secret Technique Eye and three orbs which were Magic Eye and Higher Magic Eye.

The Secret Technique Eye required concentration to use, and it would cease functioning if the attention waned, becoming inert until focus was restored, so Gu Shanhai simply mounted it onto Little White, treating it as a moveable viewpoint.

While the Magic Eye and Higher Magic Eye could receive simple commands to move, aside from their questionable logic, they were pretty good.

Compared to the Secret Technique Eye, these were more like invisible sensors. The Magic Eye was an apple-sized physical creation that looked rather creepy; having these two floating around was quite disconcerting.

Currently, the two Magic Eyes orbited Gu Shanhai like satellites, causing him a dizzying sensation, so he quickly steadied the orbs and then also mounted them onto Little White’s antlers for later use.

All three orbs were fragile but regenerative, as they had become part of his constant, passive abilities.

Other constant spells were similar, such as Oracle’s Eye, which was limited and energy-consuming, useful for predicting the next second but not much beyond compared to Gu Shanhai’s own Divination Skill.

Spells like Momentary Perception sounded impressive, but only in their fully developed form; the current weakened version could only slightly enhance capabilities. And other spells like Spirit Sight and Legendary Understanding were no match for their complete versions.

However, every spell utilized Prophetic Divination, and once his strength was sufficient to support the full display of these constant spells, his suite of Divination Spells would truly honor the phrase "to foresee the future."

"There are still three 9th-ring spells left to complete," Gu Shanhai knew it was time to head off in search of the Holy Grail.

During this period, he naturally upgraded his Spirit Plant... to level 3. Yes, he had been too busy to remember to upgrade the level of Spirit Plant, and since it wasn’t a significant difference, he didn’t bother changing it once he remembered; the level was a fictitious concept he concocted anyway.

Apart from that, there was the cultivation of Little White, enhancement of the Azure Dragon, optimization of the Magic Domain, and so on. After attending to these matters, another two years had flown by.

Little White had learned the mobility talent Soar, and other mount skills such as Trample and Heavy Strike; it had grown significantly larger than its father, the Qingyuan White Deer King, becoming a veritable beast. Its antlers were still not as large due to its age, but it was certainly much bigger in size than the Qingyuan White Deer King. Its temperament had also stabilized significantly, no longer as jumpy as before.

Now, if Little White were to jump, it would not go unnoticed.

Thanks to Little White’s large build, Gu Shanhai could not only lie flat on its back but also roll over, making many things much more convenient.

The Azure Dragon’s growth was also considerable, reaching a length of five meters. It could conceal his entire form if it coiled around him, and its Spiritual Intelligence had also increased, though it still lacked true draconic abilities.

"I wonder how strong the players have become, but judging from the difficulty of ’The First Epoch’ and the development in my past life, they probably haven’t changed much. Their strength is likely around level 30," Gu Shanhai estimated. That made him theoretically on par with Mafas, Merlin, and others—well, only theoretically, as his attribute panel, burst capabilities, and innate talents probably didn’t compare.
