Chapter 456: 455

Lans had never made a mistake in his appraisal skill, even when facing ancient dragons or the three-headed hell dogs that surpass his level. He could determine their information.

Who was this person? Did they have an ability to hide their information, or were they above the legendary rank?

Lans had never met anyone who could conceal their information from his appraisal skill.

Above the legendary rank was the deity-demon rank, only achieved by gods and demon lords.

Lans suspected the opponent to be one of the seven major gods.

“Shall we chat?” invited Jiang Li.

“Let’s chat.” Lans responded; his spirits were down, and he needed a distraction.

Moreover, judging from the other party’s expression, whether he wanted to chat or not wasn’t up to him.

Lans wanted to ask him directly, but he couldn’t figure out the character of this person and didn’t dare to act rashly.

Jiang Li chuckled at the sight of Lans’ dilemma.

“Relax, I just arrived in this world and wanted to have a random chat with someone I’m comfortable with.”

The information contained in Jiang Li’s words did not facilitate in calming Lans.

“Are you not a god?” asked Lans, unconsciously using a respectful language.

“If all beings who use the power of faith are called gods, then yes, I have been a god for a while.”

What Jiang Li was referring to was the time when he used the faith of Jiuzhou world as his strength during his Transcendence Tribulation stage.

Lans didn’t understand the meaning behind Jiang Li’s words.

Jiang Li, as usual, narrated the relationship between the various worlds and the situation of the Jiuzhou world.

Jiang Li was also troubled; every time he came to a new world, he had to explain common knowledge to the people.

Looking at Lans’ bewildered expression, Jiang Li was afraid that his words were not yet accepted.

Even though Jiuzhou was brutally tortured by the Heavenly Demon, deep down, they were aware of the existence of the Ten Thousand Realms and the end of these realms was the Immortal Realm.

But people from other worlds were different; they always thought their world was everything.

Lans discreetly used his appraisal skill on Jiang Li again.

There was no personal information about Jiang Li on the appraisal panel, only one line of words—Stop appraising, it won’t work.

Jiang Li looked at Lans with a playful smirk.

Lans tried again, and the text changed—As I said, it doesn’t work. Why don’t you believe me?

Lans believed Jiang Li’s words at last.

“Being a level-five mage, your magic level should be pretty good.”

Lans nodded without uttering a word in Jiang Li’s presence.

The level of his magic was more than just ‘pretty good’. A level-five mage was already at the top level in the world.

“Let’s go find a place; I want to see the magic of your world.”

Lan had just nodded when he realised they had left the town and arrived at a vast meadow.

“Is this a spatial magic?” Lans was surprised. Spatial magic was extremely hard to master, so much so, that even for him, it could only be used for storing things, not moving himself across spaces.

Jiang Li stated seriously, “Yes, it is a unique spatial magic I have — High-Speed Movement.”

Mages at the Body Integration Realm could comprehend the rudimentary principles of spatial movement, which allows them to jump through space. However, the principles were too elementary and could distort the initial and final spaces during movement.

Using spatial movement in Jiuzhou could potentially cause death to people near the initial and final points due to distortions.

For safety reasons, mages at the Body Integration Realm used flight movement within Jiuzhou. Only when they fly out of Jiuzhou, they jump across distances measured in light-years to travel the universe.

Jiang Li only tore up the space and moved around in the universe.

Only Sumeru Buddha and the Brahma tower could use spatial Dao to move within Jiuzhou.

Jiang Li signaled Lans that he could use his magic now.

“Merciful deity, who understands the ways of the mountains, respond to my summoning, raise your boundless chest, grant me greater magical power, bury my enemies!”

Two semi-spherical mounds of earth rose from the flat ground and rumbled together to form a spherical shape.

If an enemy were caught in the middle, it would be like being squeezed between two small mountains, which was quite powerful.

“The power is quite good.” Jiang Li casually pushed the mounds back to their original places.

Lans had never seen anyone return the land to its original state: “My earth-splitting technique is famous for changing the terrain.”

In Jiang Li’s mind, such kind of transformation qualifies as changing the terrain, but put in Jiuzhou, the chief commander Liu would not have needed to redraw the map.

“Do you all need to chant for so long to cast magic?” Listening to it made Jiang Li feel like it was a real hassle.

Lans was embarrassed, “Not always. If you have a magic wand, the chanting time can be reduced. However, I was so angry earlier that I left all my equipment with the hero squad.”

Jiang Li bought a magic wand from the system store and gave it to Lans.

“Here, try again.”

“Silent Lord of the Earth, bury my enemies, Earth-splitting technique!”

The casting speed was obviously improved this time.

“Do you have any non-chanting magic?”

“No, even the simplest Wind Summoning Technique requires chanting.”

“Oh God of Wind, show your power, Wind Summoning Technique!”

Lans created a wisp of whirlwind at the tip of his finger.

“For example, to use Wind Blade Technique which is an advanced spell of Wind Summoning Technique also requires chanting.”

“Great main god of wind! Use your power, and probe my way ahead, Wind Blade Technique!”

Lans launched a wind blade which couldn’t even cut Jiang Li’s hair.

Jiang Li stroked his chin and concluded, “Magic and spells are different. Monks use spells that require them to operate according to established rules in the body, which requires physical strength. But magic borrows the power of gods to harness the spiritual energy in the air for attack. The process of chanting magic is equivalent to enhancing faith.”

“The air is filled with the power of faith. Your spiritual power and voice will resonate with the power of faith, which in turn assists the caster to mobilize the spiritual energy in the air.”

“Yes, Spiritual power is the key to our advancement.”

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, took out a recording machine, and played Lans’ chant.

Unfortunately, the recorder was just that, a recorder,it couldn’t release the wind blade.

“I’ll give it a try.”

“Wind…”

As Jiang Li just spoke the word, a huge wind blade formed, sliced the sky, pierced the vault of heaven, and disappeared in the universe.

Jiang Li laughed, “The wind god is quite responsive, I can cast magic with just a word.”

Lans was dumbstruck; this was the most powerful wind blade he had ever seen.

Was it a legendary wind blade?

What Lans didn’t know was that if there were air in the universe, Jiang Li’s casually cast wind blade could split several planets.

And the price was that the nearby faith power was drained completely.

“How do you master skills?”

“We pray to the gods, and different gods give different skills. Some skills require prayers to several gods, such as the Wind Blade Technique, which requires praying to the wind god, and the Spatial Magic that requires praying to four gods before they grant you the power of spatial magic.”

“The more gods you pray to, the harder it is to master a skill.”

“For example, my appraisal skill requires prays to seven gods before I could obtain it.”

The more Lans spoke, the more he felt unsure. How did this man in front of him learn the Wind Blade Technique?
