....

After suffering through a hellish soul ripping procedure Lancy was finally cured as her soul was completely mended. Her sea of consciousness was restored and although she didn't have any spiritual force she was still better off compared to a newcomer. Her body has tremendous accumulation of herbal potions and medicine and only now, can she truly utilize it. Lancy was able to stand firmly on her feet just a few moments after the treatment, although she was feeling very tired and according to Leylin estimates her conditions will improve drastically as time passes, Lancy was beyond euphoric about this outcome.

But there was one thing plaguing her mind, amidst all these endeavor Lancy has also lost her prophetic ability. Although she was feeling amazing to not be under constant mental strain, she was still a bit lost. Lancy didn't feel this way before, because having suffered a serious soul injury almost becoming a soul magus, her pain never went away. It was only now that she was relieved but this also brought a sense of lost.

Leylin could easily see through this confusion of hers and explained that she doesn't need to follow her previous path and could embark on a new journey. Leylin thoroughly explained the pros and cons of choosing something different as he left this decision entirely upto her. One thing he didn't tell was that he actually has a way to obtain a pretty formidable Prophetic inheritance but this was buried deep in his heart because first of all, the viability of success is too low and secondly, it wasn't worth it. Leylin was obviously tempted but there is no end to scope in Magus World.

Prophetic ability is amazing, especially a particularly strong one because the current central continent could be classified as a gold mine of inheritance but regardless, these things lose their luster and alure after reaching a certain level. This is not Leylin looking down on others but it is what it is. His aspirations are very unruly which certainly cannot be met in an average treasury or inheritance.

Leylin presented her all the paths that he had on his hands which could be offered matching her aptitude and appropriate talent. Lancy is a genius with Level 5 aptitude and has high affinity with fire elements and thankfully, Leylin had much to offer in this regards.

Lancy had experience in breakthrough. Leylin could provide various rare treasure and such, as his pockets are extremely deep, with a proper cultivation techniques and her past knowledge Lancy could achieve subsequent achievement. It wouldn't be long before she regains her status as a Rank 3 Magus and hopefully surpass it.

After much contemplation and a careful selection the path and technique she choose to embrace was The Path Of Warlocks and in this the bloodline which matched her the best is the Vermillion Bird.

Leylin has both the bloodline as well the matching mediation techniques named [Devi Phoenix].

In fact, the bloodline offered by Leylin wasn't just an average Rank 4 but rather a Rank 5 Bloodline, gaining this status courtesy of Leylin.

With Leylin standing at Morning Star, he could easily complete the bloodline transition as he turned Lancy into a Vermillion Bird Warlock.

....

"Leylin, I was able to obtain the Forbidden Ancient Clock and I also got some great items from the Roliathe family head, Vance..." Lita spoke in a clear and strict voice as she reported about her work, opposite to her, on the study table Leylin was listening to her while scribbling about something.

Lita returned to the Dylan City just today and she along with Cole and Roderick immediately reported to Leylin. Currently, she was giving out a short summary to Leylin and also here, to receive his next orders.

Sly old Leylin was definitely able to recognise the stifling feeling as the huge war was approaching.

It was not just the mood. The bustling activity in the trading hall, the bloody missions, what had happened when Leylin's mission of extermination had last been dispatched, as well as the appearance of the Ancient Forbidden Clock at the Azure Mountain Auction.

The military strength of the central continent far exceeded the south coast and Twilight Zone. The moment Morning Star Magi began using their final techniques, the damages were devastating.

With such terrifying attacks, it was no longer just about harming innocent commoners. Even lower ranked Magi were nothing but cannon fodder!

In the Magus world on the surface, the central continent is the highest layer, the place where all the high-ranking Magi reside. If there is disorder here, it's likely to spill over into the other regions as well.

With that thought, Leylin immediately sent out an order as he close off his bedroom and the main laboratory, conducting various important experiment and announced that he do not wish to be interrupted in any way. Leylin had others things to worry about, all the pieces would fall in the right place as time passes. To Leylin, there are plenty of work to do, and many projects has been postponed for a long time which needs to be revitalized.

About three months later.

Lita finally broke through, with the assistance of Diamond Jellyfish, a valuable natural resource that had been lost to time tuck in its infancy. As well as the high purity of her bloodline, with constant exposure to the Lamia fingerbone, her bloodline had matured, finally catching up to and synchronizing with the progress of her body.

The bottlenecks that had been holding her back vanished without a trace.

[Lita Raiz. Rank 3 Warlock (Crystal Phase). Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Strength: 32, Agility: 34, Vitality: 50, Spiritual force: 351.3, Magic power: 351.3 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).]

Lita observed the newly refreshed stats that the A.I. Chip had come up with, and nodded in satisfaction.

Her spiritual force had completely broken through the threshold of 350, allowing her to enter the Crystal Phase.

Lucian advanced to the Crystal Phase when he was five hundred, and that speed is already considered rather quick in the Ouroboros Clan. Lita is lower that hundred and fifty, and is too young. If her speed of advancement is let out, it will definitely cause huge ruckus.

A Magus who had advanced to the Crystal Phase around a hundred years, without the help of external influences, would definitely shock even Gilbert.

Lita is already a very famous genius of the Clan, and many families have extended offers towards her not worrying about offending Leylin. Although Leylin is also considered a ground breaking genius, to these bloodline freak purity means everything.

Many think that it's a shame that someone like her is in a new family like Farlier House which only has Leylin as the sole members and even his bloodline is tainted in their opinion. This prompted many to invite her, even trying many political tactics to acquire her in order to revitalize their purity but they have only suffered losses and defeat. No one dares to offend Leylin in his territory, with his Magus Tower and famous Crystal Phase strength nobody would achieve anything. As for asking for help front Elders, as they are now, they are not concerned about the Ouroboros clan a bit.
