Ancient Echo Spirit, Promotion!

"The entrance to this corridor isn't too dangerous, just a bit troublesome. Go further in, and you'll encounter the more aggressive 'Ancient Echo Spirit'."

What is the Ancient Echo Spirit?

"A magical life form composed of Spell Echo, energy particles, and rune fragments under specific conditions."

Sigel paused, then added, "Echoes of the Past is the name of the Sound Law School that once dominated the Silent Corridor's wizarding power, comparable to the Spirit Lake."

But overnight, they suffered [Catastrophe]; not a single wizard from the entire faction survived.

"What power could destroy a force comparable to the Spirit Lake overnight?"

Ronan was slightly moved.

Sigel, however, remained much more indifferent. "Curse, formidable enemy... who knows?"

He stopped communicating with Ronan and walked forward.

Ronan followed Sigel as they walked along the huge corridor. Midway through, Ronan saw the photograph that had previously caused his "riot" once again.

It was two wizards dressed in light yellow robes talking, just like real people. One of them even turned his head and glanced at Ronan almost imperceptibly.

Another photo opportunity arose as we passed through an old, dilapidated hall.

In the center of the hall stood a magnificent long table covered with silk, laden with all sorts of bizarre and exquisite delicacies, and around the table sat figures dressed in robes of various colors.

The golden-brown roasted lamb on the silver platter emitted an enticing aroma, the red wine glasses swirled with captivating colors, people clinked glasses at the long table, and nearby, violins and cellos floated in the air, playing automatically. It was clearly a lively wizard's banquet, yet not a sound was uttered; the entire hall was shadowy and deathly silent.

Ronan followed Sigel straight through the center of the hall. As they passed, the luxurious and bustling atmosphere was torn apart like paper, turning into dust and disappearing, leaving only the true, decaying background.

The Silent Corridor possesses the magical ability to capture images and sounds, but these also require a long time to evolve.

Therefore, what they are encountering now are basically left behind by the Gu Yinduo Wizard who once lived here.

Stepping out from the other side of the hall, the scene before me became more open.

It was hard to tell whether it was a garden or a courtyard, but there were ruins everywhere, and some strangely styled ancient buildings appeared in the field of vision.

Sigel stopped at a spot, deliberately making a tiny sound with his feet.

"Rustle—"

In an instant, several beams of light suddenly entered Ronan's field of vision.

Sigel stood motionless, calmly channeling his Level Four Dawn mental energy through his body.

In the distorted void created by pure spiritual power, Ronan saw several strange creatures hovering in mid-air.

Its body shape resembles that of a cat, but it has seven or eight legs, seemingly composed of countless undulating light patterns, with traces of runes constantly flashing across it.

"This is the Ancient Echo Spirit."

These few are quite weak, probably only at the first tier level.

Sigel glanced at Ronan indifferently, then his spiritual power surged, and the bodies of the Ancient Echo Spirit that he had frozen in mid-air silently vanished, leaving only a few dull gray orbs that gently landed in Sigel's palm.

"The core of the Ancient Echo Spirit is ultimately energy. This kind of thing can be used as magic stone or Magic Crystal to a certain extent. If you are lucky enough, you might even be able to obtain the sound Spell Inheritance of Echoes of the Past from it."

Ronan's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly upon hearing this.

Sigel strode forward, continuing his brief mental communication with Ronan as he went.

"This is the Inner Corridor of the Silent Corridor, which was once the residence of the Gu Yinduo Wizard. It is relatively safe here. In the outer corridor, the Ancient Echo Spirit can be seen everywhere. Even if you don't make a sound, they may attack you on their own."

If you don't have the strength of level four, it's best not to try to get involved.

The vast majority of wizards qualified to explore the Silent Corridor also gathered in the outer corridor.

Ronan listened attentively.

The two walked quickly through the quiet courtyard, passing one ancient building after another.

As Ronan turned a corner, two figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision, one after the other.

Ronan initially thought it was a photo, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was of wizards who had come in to explore, just like them.

Coincidentally, both of these wizards also came from the Spirit Lake.

A man and a woman, both wearing pure black robes with moon patterns.

Ronan paused slightly when he saw one of the female wizards with her emerald green hair braided into long braids.

He had seen this woman once before, when she participated in the Spirit Lake entrance selection. This Green Braid Witch was the genius who had reached eight stars in soul aptitude and was then recruited by the Black Moon Faction.

The other person clearly recognized him as well, a hint of surprise appearing on their ordinary-looking face, but they quickly looked away indifferently.

The two groups of people bumped into each other and both stopped.

Sigel and the Black Moon Faction Level Four Wizard leading the group exchanged a silent glance, and then the other man quietly led the green-braided woman into a building next to them.

Sigel immediately changed direction.

"There are only a few advancement arrays left in the Inner Corridor area that can still function. They've already taken this one... Let's move on to the next place."

Ronan blinked before realizing that the woman with the green braid was also here to try and reach level four, just like him.

The opponent has an eight-star aptitude, which is equivalent to the late stage of Third Level Wizard. Considering the time, it is indeed about right.

The silent journey continues.

At one point, Ronan suddenly spoke through his consciousness, "Don't you like Misha very much?"

"!"

Sigel's steps came to a halt.

He turned around expressionlessly and looked coldly at Ronan.

I retract my previous assessment of you.

"You're no different from those scoundrels."

Sigel sneered. "Go back and tell Misha that since I promised him, I will naturally keep my word."

There's no need to use such clumsy methods to test me.

After saying that, he forcefully severed the connection between his consciousness and Ronan and walked forward on his own.

Ronan watched Sigel's retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Because of one question he asked, Sigel's attitude towards him underwent a complete 180-degree change, returning to its original state, even more indifferent than before.

After that, I had no further communication with him.

He led Ronan into a building, through several halls, and finally stopped in a room that resembled an altar.

"This magic circle can still function. If it can't meet your requirements, let Misha find another way for you. In any case, I've fulfilled my responsibilities."

Sigel no longer concealed his slight aversion to Ronan.

"Setting up more [Soundproofing] arrays will not completely block out all noise, but at least it will reduce the number of sound spirits that rush to the scene."

"The fourth-order magic array I set up for you should be enough to last until you finish your advancement."

"If not, then pray that I can get there in time after receiving the message."

After saying that, Sigel didn't look at Ronan again and turned to leave the room.

Ronan didn't care about Sigel's attitude at all.

On the contrary, the "malice" that Sigel showed towards him because of Misha made him feel more at ease.

"Will this magic circle work?"

Following Sigel's advice, Ronan set up layers of [Soundproofing] arrays in the room while mentally asking Alazan.

"It barely meets the standards for an intermediate-level advancement array. Shouldn't we wait a little longer?"

Alazan responded.

"No, thank you."

Ronan shook his head.

While a more advanced Dawn Promotion Magic Array could resolve his soul ailment in one go, the requirements were too demanding and too far beyond his current capabilities.

He no longer had time to stay at Level 3 for long.

After the [Soundproofing] array was set up, Ronan took out the Magic Crystal given to him by Misha and embedded them one by one into the grooves on the advancement array.

After all the assembly was completed, we were pleasantly surprised to find that there were three extra Magic Crystal.

After the energy from the Magic Crystal was injected, the entire ascension array began to operate slowly, and light began to shine.

Ronan stepped into the magic circle, removed his magic robe, along with the Itai.

Then take out a variety of boxes and medicine bottles, and apply some of the ointments and powders to your body or hold them under your tongue.

These are all supplementary materials designed to help the soul withstand the pressures of ascension.

Ronan didn't need the [Protection] potion for his physical body for the time being; he still planned to try to tough it out first. If the [Ascetic Body Forging] could break through under the energy impact during the advancement, that would be the best outcome.

If it doesn't work, it's not too late to use it later.

With everything prepared, Ronan sensed a massive mass of free energy particles rapidly converging outside the magic circle.

Visible energy vortexes kept appearing in the void before our eyes, and the sound of waves gradually rose.

Ronan spread his mental energy and could vaguely sense the same torrent of Energy Torrent flowing in another distant direction. He figured it must be the Green Braid Witch he had seen before, who was also breaking through at this moment.

The subtle sounds of the energy flowing as the magic array operated were blocked by the [Soundproofing] array, but blurry lights and shadows still appeared silently at the door of the room.

It is the Ancient Echo Spirit that came upon hearing the sound.

They came straight at Ronan, their postures ferocious, but they were blocked by the outermost fourth-order magic array. Like a group of wild cats scratching at the glass through a window, they created ripples on the energy wall of the magic array, but could not have any effect on Ronan.

Ronan felt relieved, slowly closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

In the state of "[Thoughtless Lake]," all his distracting thoughts were frozen and sunk to the bottom of his heart.

Within the Consciousness Space, the fourteen Spiritual Power Crystal, along with the white Light Chrysalis generated from the practice of the [Secret Chrysalis], slowly converged toward the center of the space under the control of spiritual energy.

They quickly clustered together.

Ronan did not stop, and continued to try to "squeeze" the fifteen crystals.

This is the first step required for Third Level Wizard to advance to level four: condense all the Spiritual Power Crystal into a ball, and then, under the effect of the Soul Rune and the burning of the Soul Power, find the true self and nurture the primordial spirit!
