The progress of cultivating the Elemental Holy Body cannot be advanced in a short time; the required resources are beyond what Duke can currently obtain.
Duke’s current focus remains on perceiving rules, for once successful, he can promote to Level 3 Mage and also fuse the rules into his body to enhance his strength.
Regarding the perception of rule power, he has been contemplating and pondering over it constantly.
He has currently figured out three methods: one is obtaining the Key of Rules, which is the most common path for most Wizards.
However, the Key of Rules is extremely scarce, and Duke has been paying attention but has yet to hear any news.
In reality, this is quite typical; many Wizards spend decades or even centuries to have a chance at obtaining the Key of Rules.
Duke’s pursuit of only a few years is relatively short.
But Duke has other options, such as the World Tree Seed and the God of Light’s Divine Status.
The World Tree itself is a life form of extremely high dimensional level, capable of improving plane rules, aiding in plane growth, and even assisting a plane to mature into a High Plane.
The World Tree Seed in Duke’s possession is currently in awakening status but hasn’t sprouted yet.
If he can make the World Tree Seed sprout, Duke might get to perceive many things during the sprouting process.
He has signed a Slave Contract with the World Tree Seed, making it his slave creature in essence, allowing for very clear perception.
But the World Tree Seed requires a vast amount of life force, showing no sign of awakening as of now.
Another option is to start with the God of Light’s Divine Status.
Divine Status itself is life form at Level 4 and above, formed by highly condensed rules, essentially an embodiment of rules.
However, because the Divine Status is overly solid, not being something that exudes rule power, it becomes challenging to perceive any rule power.
Especially for Duke, who lacks sufficient strength, it is even harder to perceive rule power from the Divine Status.
Yet, this remains a viable route.
Duke plans to approach from multiple angles and see on which path he can first achieve breakthrough progress.
Next, it’s time to make a trip to the Oracle Plane.
The purpose of Duke’s journey this time is straightforward: to help the Light Sect develop, thereby obtaining more power of faith for himself.
The more power of faith, the faster the development of the Light God Court.
Duke perceives through the World Tree Seed that the better the development of the Light God Court, the more beneficial it is for the sprouting of the World Tree Seed.
Before departure, he made extensive preparations through the channels of Giant Rock Commerce Association and Star Dome Commerce Association.
...
Duke stands in the study room of the castle, checking the last batch of supplies.
Within the Space Ring, over a thousand Level 1 Witchcraft Artifacts are neatly stacked: knives, swords, bows, crossbows, magic wands, armor, shields, each handpicked by him, top quality, suitable for Knights.
Beside them are thousands of boxes of magic potions—Healing Potions, Magic Recovery Potions, Antidote Potions, Enhancing Potions—all types are available, enough to support a small army for a year.
He closes the Space Ring and turns to leave the study room.
Yala stands in the corridor, her silver hair shimmering faintly in the morning light, her green eyes gazing at him, hesitant to speak.
She wears a light green elf long dress, its hem gently swaying in the morning breeze, revealing a glimpse of her fair calf.
Her fingers lightly caress the hem of her dress, as if deliberating something.
"Master, are you going on a long journey?" Her voice is soft, carrying a subtle, unnoticeable hint of reluctance.
Duke nods: "I’ll be away for a while. Everything on the island will remain as usual; you and Nina can take care of it."
Yala slightly bows, not asking further questions.
She follows Duke, walking through the lengthy corridor, past the castle gates, arriving at the dock.
Nina is already waiting there, her honey-colored skin gleaming with a healthy radiance under the sunlight, her cat-like heterochromatic eyes filled with worry.
She wears a light gray cotton dress, tightly belted to accentuate her slender waist.
Her tail lightly sways behind her, ears twitch subtly, as if listening for any sound.
"Master, when will you return?" Nina’s voice is more straightforward than Yala’s, carrying a touch of childish attachment.
Duke looks towards the distant sea: "Not sure. I’ll return once everything is settled."
He steps onto the dock, the black boat already awaiting him there.
The dark demon silently paddles, the boat heading into the mist.
Duke stands at the bow, not turning back.
Behind him, the figures of Yala and Nina grow increasingly smaller, gradually swallowed by the fog.
The boat passes through the mist, arriving at the sea outside Dusk City, belonging to Silver Hand, where Duke will use the Teleportation Array to reach the Flower Sea Plane.
Flower Sea Plane.
Duke takes a deep breath, the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of myriad flowers, as lush as it was years ago.
Beneath him is a teleportation platform entwined with enormous vines, with neon meadows at the edges glistening with colorful light under the sunshine.
In the distance, the sky flowers resemble an inverted rainbow, hanging down from the canopy of leaves, casting light columns through the layers of foliage, dappling the entire land.
Spore creatures dance within the beams, like countless tiny elves, darting through the light and shadow.
It remains as before, unrealistically beautiful.
Duke steps down from the teleportation platform, following the familiar pebble path towards the Dream Manor.
He pushes open the manor’s door, everything in the courtyard remains unchanged.
Duke walks indoors, crosses the empty living room, and descends the spiral staircase to the basement.
