Leylin has returned back to the small town where the Old Devil had brought him on an expedition to the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect.

Leylin rejected the hospitality of Armani and the rest to stay, Leylin had journeyed to this area and prepared to look at the ancient teleporting spell formation once again.

Although Nina was quite sad to see him go so early, she still didn't say anything. She understood that Leylin has become who he is today by not stagnating but by striving. She also resolved herself to totally invest herself in her research.

This town had already been reduced to ruins. Immediately after things began to settle down in Eternal River Secret plane, Leylin claimed this domain as his and isolated it.

A murky green vine crept around the town's ruins, in which the occasional figures of animals could be seen flitting past. However, there were no signs of human traces at all.

During that time the Eternal Rivers secret plane had just been made public knowledge to all Magi. The strength of the light Magi had been concentrated there, so no one had the leisure to bother with a desolate little town who had suspected dark Magi activities. Furthermore, no deaths were reported!

And since the place was latter claimed by RebelHearts, No one bother with it any further

Such an isolated place would naturally not attract the attention of the light Magi alliance, and things had been dragged till this state.

Even if the Magi did not treat it with importance, how could the residents who had been living in the town their whole lives not mind?

Hence, without any further support, the residents chose to leave this town.

The ancient teleporting spell formation is very valuable.The distance of the teleportation was vast; it would at least span a distance several times that of the south coast. There was even a possibility that it would lead to another world!

Around the Magus World, there were several mighty worlds and planes. In ancient times, the ancient Magi conquered one world after another, and analysed the unique laws in those worlds to strengthen themselves!

"I wonder how Lancy is handling things on the other side?"

Leylin stroked his chin.

Six months ago, Leylin commanded Lancy, Dexter, Freed and Ivy to visit Twilight Zone before him and accomplish some tasks. He has given all of them a protection charm made out of his pure blood essence, in order to survive the turbulence and pressure during teleportation.

If it was him before the War, he would be reluctant to do so. Giving out his Pure blood Essence as protection, in addition to a great sum of magical essence to carry out the process is simply too lavish.

But now, with all the blood being spilled, Leylin can recover his blood essence immediately with Sentient Force. In fact, it was these four who had to accomplish the quota of sacrifice needed to make these charms. Along with the sheer wealth they ransacked along with Leylin being busy he sent them beforehand.

Lancy is a full fledged Peak Rank 1 Magus and Just accumulating in order to break through. She can make use of the rare resources there and more importantly great amount of High Meditation Techniques to unravel a greater path for herself. With the help of her A.I.Chip it's a very plausible event.

Both Dexter and Freed has reached the pinnacle of Saint Knight, with strength surpassing Peak Rank 1 but still below Rank 2. Ivy after the decimation of her blood rival and arch nemesis has transformed into a war veteran but sadly none of them has ability to breakthrough the barrier and reach the next stage which is eluding them.

Leylin have yet to search a way to break through that Barrier. Strictly speaking he can help them to achieve such a breakthrough forcefully but it will further impact their life expectancy and future potential. There is no meaning behind it. Leylin knows that there is many inheritance hidden in Twilight Zone. He would rather use them to test a greater theory on them with higher gain than that.

As for Bicky and Anna, Leylin appointment Anna to become the Managing Figure for now. Although her personal strength is not the greatest in the group especially now since quite an amount of Rank 2 magus in their reigning domain has swear allegiance to RebelHearts. Anna has the most authority in the Headquarters as the defense formation command is in her hands.

With such a huge position, she can ever bar Rank 3 Magus entry and fatally wound them. Let alone subduing Rank 2 Magi.

Anna personal strength is not something to scoff at as well. She is the Strongest Knight that Leylin have, Her strength could be demonstrated from the fact that all other Knights together can still not defeat her.

With all the nourishment she has received from Leylin in all these years, Anna has achieved a greater physique and Constitution, although she has not achieved a breakthrough, she can give a Rank 2 magus a very challenging fight and stand her ground.

As for Bicky, She asked to be sent back at the Tyler Palace. She could clearly see that her worth is becoming diminished. In reality, the reason she was able to achieve her current strength is all because of Leylin but now the situation has changed.

As Leylin advanced, The gap became even wider between them. Leylin also analysed how many of his decision were affected from his personal thought rather than rational ones. Leylin became more aware of what is necessary and how he should act as time passes. His decision to grant Bicky a chance was a absolutely emotional decision but now he thinks nothing of it. Even his feelings has changed drastically from when he was an Acolyte.

It is like a intellectual metamorphosis, Now Leylin understand that there is some decision he needs to make and stop withholding himself.

For Bicky to advance he has to invest a lot more than for others so he made the right choice in having her take a management position in the already established group but Bicky requested to take a break and search for her own path.

Leylin approved of her decision, she understood that her remaining stagnant will only widen the gap between them and also that her worth is not great enough for investment so she choose to walk on her own path.

Maybe she can walk the same route that she originally did but this time with greater strength and even surprise him in the future?

Leylin bestowed her a Magical Artifact enhanced by him to keep her protected at dire times. Although Leylin thoughts has changed, the fact remained that She belongs to him. No one is allowed to hurt her. Whoever dares will face his full wrath. If he can, he will definitely take revenge for her and protect her. This is not out of pity or anything but for his own beliefs.

Leylin can change and his feelings may not stay the same always but He will still hold on to his beliefs and protect those who he wishes to regardless. The past him, The future him, The present him, they may not think the same or feel the same but they will are still him.

....

Well that is for the future to decide but right now Leylin is focused on walking on path to reach a greater level. The Rank 4 Magi.

In ancient times, Magi of these levels had another term coined after them—Morning Star Magi!

After a Magus enters rank 3, their body will undergo a very long bottleneck period. For a rank 3 Magus to advance into a rank 4 Magus, the difficulty will surpass every prior advancement. It could even be likened to the fact that the difficulty of a regular human into a rank 3 Magus was far simpler than that of from a rank 3 Magus to a rank 4 Magus!

Even in ancient times, rank 4 Magi were rulers of their regions. As for their title, it was Morning Star!

What was a Morning Star? High above in the sky! Unparalleled! Eternal!

Magus who were able to advance in rank 4 were worthy of such a title! Moreover, their lifespan would be lengthened by a massive amount. Even living to a thousand years old was just child's play! To regular humans or even lowly ranked Magi, this was already reaching the realm of being immortal!

At this level, Magi would really be able to control the devastating powers of flipping mountains and burning seas! It was ineffective to use a sea of people to fight against such power! Just one of them would rival the existence of an army of lower leveled Magi!

With his memory, Leylin was extremely familiar with the route to the small town. He walked towards what had once been the town's centre, to where the two storey wooden house was.

This location itself was rather remote, and cobwebs and dust were strewn in the entrance. This appearance made it look extremely unstable, as if a gentle breeze would blow the house down.

However, Leylin was not fooled by such an appearance. He raised his finger, on which a white glow of light converged.

*Weng Weng!*

Leylin's finger seemed to have caused some sort of resonance, and covert runes began to crawl like ants to where Leylin's foot was.

Soon afterwards, he walked to the second level, to where there was an oil painting of an upper-class lady. This was the entrance to the secret plane that had long since been destroyed by Leylin.

Moments later, after travelling through the darkness, Leylin once again emerged in the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect's secret plane.
