"That year, I caught a cicada and thought I had caught the whole summer. But who would've thought that I, the great Mo Fan, had actually returned to that summer."
In a cramped little room, a tall young man with slightly dark skin held up a mirror and admired his handsome face.
"I'd already mentally prepared myself to rule the Dark Dimension, but who knew I'd end up back at eighteen!!"
Mo Fan smugly brushed the hair over his forehead. I cleared the first run, so wouldn't I go absolutely wild on the second?
Mo Fan glanced at the calendar and found that it was the second semester of his senior year. Before long, he would have his Magic Duel with Yu Ang. This time, he would make Yu Ang suffer like hell.
Especially since it wasn't just him who had traveled back. Little Loach, quit shaking around. I wasn't talking about you.
Within Mo Fan's Spiritual Universe floated an ethereal, vast blueprint of the cosmos. That was the fundamental object behind his transmigration—the Celestial Spirit Codex.
He had stumbled upon this divine artifact while searching for other higher planes. It contained records of powerful races from multiple planes, including Dark creatures from the Dark Dimension, totems and ancient beasts from the Magic Plane, and holy spirits from the Summoning Plane.
The contractor could use Spirit Essences to ignite the Life Fire of creatures within the codex and gain their abilities.
In his previous life, Mo Fan had become the foremost Magic God of the human world. What hadn't he seen? Mere rebirth was nothing worth mentioning.
There was only one problem: he had no Spirit Essences on hand. Having a treasure vault without a key felt absolutely awful!!
Ring-ring-ring~~~ Ring-ring-ring~~~
For some reason, Little Loach kept shaking and shaking. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was heading to Grandma's Bridge. Wait, no, something was off. Not just off—twelve out of ten off.
By all rights, Little Loach should still have been the Little Loach from the first run. So why was it acting up now? There had to be something fishy inside its little world!
Mo Fan hurriedly entered a meditative state and dove into Little Loach. At present, Little Loach was still only an ordinary item, and the space inside was barely larger than a well.
Above that ancient well floated a huge Spirit Essence radiating dazzling light. Judging from its aura, it should have been a Monarch Spirit Essence.
It must have been one of Mo Fan's spoils from his previous life. Somehow, it had followed him through time and arrived in the second run with him.
Just as the old saying went: when the cart reached the mountain, there would be a road; when the boat reached the bridge, it would naturally straighten itself out.
He had just been worrying that the Celestial Spirit Codex was not even worth scrap paper without Spirit Essences, when a Monarch-level Spirit Essence suddenly appeared.
Entering his spiritual space, he opened the Celestial Spirit Codex. In an instant, images of countless divine beasts, holy spirits, and colossal gods appeared before him. Every one of them was Emperor-level or above. There were even the Arctic Rooftop Emperor and Sahara Rooftop Emperor, both of whom he had dealt with before.
Even the Four Divine Heavenly Gods, such as the Great Azure Dragon and the Southern Vermilion Bird, were among them.
The bodies of these sacred beast phantoms were made up of Dark Stars. The number of Dark Stars varied from phantom to phantom, with the most having nine and the fewest having only one.
Mo Fan understood immediately. They were surely ranked according to the creatures' strength. Even humans were divided into ranks, much less demons that relied on bloodlines.
Mo Fan had long since chosen his target. In his previous life, his strongest elements had been Fire and Lightning. Even in the later stages, these two Magic Elements had remained his main source of combat power.
So, the one he chose to ignite was the ancient giant god—the Golden Radiance Titan phantom!!!
Mo Fan had witnessed the Golden Radiance Titan's divine might in his previous life. It was the giant god Apollo controlled by Xin Xia. Although its record had been rather underwhelming, no one seriously thought it was weak, right?
After all, it was a creature capable of challenging the Emperor level. Among Monarch-level beings, the Golden Radiance Titan stood at the very peak, and its phantom contained nine Dark Stars.
Mo Fan guided the Monarch Spirit Essence into the Golden Radiance Titan phantom. These unlit phantoms were extremely dim, but once the Dark Stars inside sensed the Spirit Essence's fluctuations, they all began swaying excitedly.
Like courtesans in a brothel spotting a rich, foolish tycoon, they waved silk handkerchiefs and called out seductively.
Speaking of silk handkerchiefs, Mo Fan immediately thought of Little Snake Girl Apas in a traditional Eastern Chinese bellyband, looking utterly enchanting. Tsk, tsk, what a delight.
Don't think about it, don't think about it. Mo Fan realized that his little brother had suddenly stiffened. He quickly took two deep breaths to cool himself down.
Smack!
The Spirit Essence lit up the topmost Dark Star of the Golden Radiance Titan. A cluster of golden flames appeared within it. The fire was not pure gold; it contained spots like sunspots within it.
Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo
Within the crimson Fire Magic Stardust, a molten crimson-gold divine halo suddenly appeared. Like a stone tossed into a clear pool, Golden Flame abruptly ignited at the center of the Stardust!
After the divine halo was added to the Fire Magic Stardust, the Stardust particles began trembling uncontrollably. Mo Fan cried out inwardly. No way, was his Fire Magic Stardust about to break through to the intermediate level?
His Fire Magic had already reached the third tier of the beginner level. Now that the Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo had been added, it was as though some sort of power had been poured into it, directly expanding the Stardust.
Golden Flame swept through the Fire Magic Stardust. Fireflies-like flames created cloudlike clusters of stars. Seven Stardust particles transformed into forty-nine, shining brilliantly against one another!!
Stardust became Nebula, beginner level entered intermediate level!
The flames controlled by the Golden Radiance Titan were truly drawn from the sun itself. The Golden Radiance Solar Heavenly Fire mastered by an adult Golden Radiance Titan was a flame no weaker than a Great Sky Seed.
After obtaining the Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo, Mo Fan could also control Golden Flame Heavenly Fire. Its power was only stronger than that of an ordinary Spirit Seed for now, but it would grow stronger alongside his Fire Magic.
"Holy shit, this ability is insane!!"
Mo Fan's heart was filled with amazement. His Fire Magic had taken off after he obtained Little Flame Fairy in his previous life, but after gaining the Golden Radiance Halo now, it already showed signs of soaring.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Mo Fan excitedly jumped off the bed and entered Xin Xia's room next door. Xin Xia was still a shy, delicate little flower at this point, soft and tender, frail as a willow in the wind.
She had not yet developed the elegance, nobility, and dignified bearing of Parthenon's Saintess.
When Mo Fan entered, Xin Xia was leaning by the window and writing. She wore a light floral dress, her warm jade-like bare feet resting on the floor.
"Little Xin Xia—"
Mo Fan revealed a big bad wolf's smile. Before he even reached her, his hand had already stretched toward her.
Of course, he knew that Xin Xia was still very shy, so he did nothing too excessive. He merely placed his hand around her soft, slender waist.
"Brother Mo Fan, aren't you meditating today?"
Feeling the warmth at her waist, Xin Xia's sweet cheeks instantly flushed crimson. She spoke in a soft, syrupy voice.
"How could meditation compare to dual cultivation? Xin Xia, you've awakened magic too. If there's anything you don't understand about cultivation, just come ask me!" Mo Fan said, patting his chest.
Over the years, he had not neglected even a bit of his basic magical knowledge. On the contrary, it had become increasingly solid.
Ning Xue and Xin Xia had each given him a child, one daughter and one son. He had tutored the children every day.
How could his basic magical knowledge not be solid?!
After spending half an hour being affectionate with Xin Xia, he left her room.
No matter how many methods he had in his head, they would all be useless if his cultivation did not improve.
Besides, the Bo City Blood Calamity would soon erupt. He needed to use this opportunity to meditate more and strive to push his Lightning Magic to the intermediate level as well.
