Mortals can probably improve their strength to the level of a high-level peak through exercise and adventure. What is the specific level of this "high-level peak"? Sui Xiong has done a quantification, which is roughly the total level of nineteen in Crick's system.
Once you reach this level, it will be difficult to increase your level.
If you have enough resources, you can consider taking a shortcut and become a strong parallel importer. For example, after reaching level 19 in the combat profession, you can study hard in a big library for a few years and gain two or three scholar levels; or you can become a lord in a territory and gain a few lord levels, and you can easily become a saint. Become a legendary strongman.
Of course, this kind of legendary powerhouse is very powerful, and some of them can't even beat high-level geniuses such as the late Spencer. When Leon used the pseudonym "Thunder" and traveled across the Western Wilderness, he was just like this kind of parallel importer. Strong men have fought against each other, and although they cannot win, they have never lost. The late Joseph Riley, the former lord of Gars City, was such a strong parallel importer. He could bully and bully masters with sparse equipment by relying on top-notch equipment. He even relied on magic circles, helpers and strategies to defeat enemies. He has killed other legendary warriors, but in a fair duel, he is almost at the bottom among the legends.
If you don’t want to be a parallel import, you must first find a direction to transcend the world and become a saint. If this direction suits you, you can get level 20 and step into the world of "quasi-legendary". If you can follow this direction , if you make a key change in this direction, you can obtain the twenty-first level and become a true legendary powerhouse.
At this point, clerics, priests, and paladins are most advantageous. As direct subordinates of the gods, as long as they are strong enough, they can often get guidance from the gods through prayer, and can easily find a path that suits them. Therefore, among the legendary strong men throughout the ages, at least 60 to 70% are priests, and other professions combined are only half of those of priests.
Except for clergy, those who majored in both physics and magic would have some advantages in this regard, because they were more flexible and could take more paths. The pure physics department lags behind, and the pure magic department is the most tragic.
This is very strange. Among various high-level professionals, high-level mage has the highest social status and the strongest comprehensive ability. But it is also the most difficult to go one step further and become a legendary powerhouse.
The key reason for this is that mages know too much and can take too many paths... but there are too few that really suit them.
A mage, an orthodox mage, would know at least a hundred possible ways to enter the legendary realm. But when he actually tries it, he will find that basically none of these 100 are suitable for him, so he will go from one failure to another. After several failures, his life will almost come to an end.
This is why there are very few legendary mages. Often only some long-lived ones, those with powerful mentors, or those with great luck can find a path that truly suits them before their lifespan is exhausted.
However, every loss has its own gain. Once a mage finds a path that suits him, entering the legendary realm is a matter of course. Often it only takes a large-scale ceremony to adjust one's body and soul to a direction that is completely suitable for this path, and then directly step into the legendary realm with the help of huge magic power. It is simple and clear.
In contrast, even if other professions have found a path, they must continue to work hard, slowly accumulate, adjust themselves, and accumulate strength. Many people fall down in the process and die with their eyes open.
Satan is undoubtedly the lucky one among mages. Although he was a bit unlucky when he was young, when he was almost thirty years old, fortune finally turned around and he successfully embraced Sui Xiong's lap. With the support of Sui Xiong, his magic research advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength also increased rapidly. It only took a little more than twenty years to reach the high-level peak. As the most reliable high-level spellcaster of the Church of Masked Void, the two gods of the church take good care of him. The God of Knowledge, Wole, even spared no effort to use his power to deduce a suitable path for him, and finally deduced several good ones. choose.
Among these paths, the first one Satan chooses is "purification."
He is a very ambitious man. Although the difficulty of other paths may be relatively easy, the corresponding priesthoods already have extremely powerful gods. Only the priesthood of "Purification" has not yet been captured by a powerful god.
If he takes this path, there will be much less resistance when he becomes a god in the future.
Although he is still just a mortal who has not even entered the legendary realm, Satan has a far-reaching vision and great ideals. As long as there is hope, he must work hard towards becoming a god!
For this reason, he thought carefully about it and finally decided to "purify the forest of ashes" as his path to becoming a god. As long as he continues along this path little by little, by the time the entire Ash Forest is purified, the strength and faith he has accumulated will definitely be enough to become a god!
This may take many years, hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even thousands of years... But he believes that he will be able to take this path to the end and eventually become a member of the immortals in the Pantheon!
This experiment is of great significance to him. It is related to whether he can verify his understanding of the concept of "purification". If the verification fails, it means that his accumulation in the past two years has gone in the wrong direction and he must readjust himself. understanding, adjust the structure of the magic power in your body, and even adjust your mindset.
In that case, it will take at least ten years, maybe even longer. There are countless mages in the world who grow old due to such failures again and again, and finally die of old age unwillingly. There are also many mages who have to risk their lives to try some difficult life extension methods in order to gain enough time to progress. Most of them have failed, either by failing to extend their lives, or by successfully extending their lives but finding that their path to legend is cut off. There are still only a few who can finally step into the realm of legend.
Satan is over fifty years old this year. Even with the help of the life-extending potion, his physical and mental peak condition will only last for about thirty years at most. After this time, the aging of the soul will be reflected in the spirit. Even if the body is still young, the path forward as a mage will inevitably become narrower.
Thirty years is probably enough time to fail three times.
When he thought about it, he knew why he was so nervous and concerned. Why did he not hesitate to spend all his money, even almost squandering all his wealth, and still owe two adults to do this huge experiment
Fortunately, he was lucky, and the first experiment was successful. Next, as long as he performs a ritual to adjust himself, and then uses the huge magic power impact, he can basically guarantee that he will enter the legendary realm.
According to his current situation and the family background of the Void Mask Church, it is estimated that it will be ready in about half a year. In no more than a year at most, he can become a legendary mage and reach a new peak in life!
The success of the magic circle is not only of great benefit to Satan, but also of great benefit to Felix and Qiao Xiu. By completing this huge magic circle, Felix's understanding and mastery of magic has been improved to a higher level, saving at least ten years of slowly accumulating time; Qiao Xiu has improved his control over the dragon's blood magic in his body. , and also saves a lot of time in practicing magic.
As for those who have benefited the most, it is actually the people of Huishi Town.
For a long time, the pioneers of the Ash Forest have lived in a weak negative energy environment. Even if towns and villages are protected by temples, people always have to go out. Once they go out, they will inevitably be eroded by negative energy.
Under this situation, the lifespan of the civilians in the Ash Forest is relatively short. They often start to age and get sick around the age of forty, and will die painfully from diseases within a few years. Of course they don't want to live this kind of life, but they have no choice but to endure it silently.
There are no magic props in the world to resist negative energy, and there are no magic potions that can eliminate the erosion of negative energy. How can ordinary people afford it
But it’s different now!
The completion of the large-scale purification array has eliminated the need for the vast majority of residents of Pyroxene Town to be exposed to negative energy. Even the negative energy erosion that has accumulated in the body will be slowly purified over time. This allows them to live longer and stay healthier. The former is not visible yet, but the latter is immediate.
Almost immediately after the purification circle was completed, people moving outside the town felt that the surrounding environment had changed. It's not that there is more or less smell in the air, but the previous gloomy and depressing feeling is gone, and the whole person feels much more relaxed.
They looked at me and me in confusion, wondering what was going on.
But there is no doubt that this is definitely a good thing!
That night, Felix summoned all the residents of Pyrex Town and announced that "the large-scale purification circle has been completed. From now on, as long as you don't go out of the green space in the woods, you don't have to worry about being eroded by negative energy." The residents were confused at first - they didn't understand what negative energy was, but after Felix further explained it, they were overjoyed and as happy as a holiday.
After all, who doesn’t want to live a long and healthy life!
Seeing this scene, Felix was moved in his heart and declared today as the "Purification Day" every year. A celebration will be held to celebrate this happy day.
As the saying goes, good things should come early. Since this holiday has been decided, let’s just celebrate it today!
So when Qiao Xiu returned to Huishi Town, he saw raging bonfires burning in the square in the center of the town, several tables filled with white bread and ale, and two chefs preparing meat respectively. and vegetables. The residents laughed, sang and rejoiced.
They laughed so freely, as if they wanted to use this celebration to release all the depression and pressure they had accumulated for a long time.
They sang so cheerfully, as if they wanted to use their singing to drive away all bad luck, usher in endless good luck, and hold it firmly in their hands and never let it go.
