Compared to Pang Lai, Chen Lang was rather indifferent about this; after all, he had simply come for the Divine Seal Praise.
Soon, Chen Lang and Pang Lai were led to a secluded peak.
Upon arriving, however, the Golden Radiance Knight Ajit looked at Pang Lai and said, "Chief Pang, stop here."
Seeing this, Pang Lai did not look surprised at all.
He looked at Chen Lang, his gaze serious as he said, "After the Divine Seal Praise is complete, you need to cultivate in seclusion for a month. During this period, you must not use magic frequently, and it is best to maintain meditation the entire time so that you can fully absorb the Divine Seal Praise."
After giving these instructions, Pang Lai added, "When your cultivation here ends, remember to come find me at the Imperial Magic Association when you return to the country."
Chen Lang simply gave an offhand response, clearly not taking it to heart.
Pang Lai did not continue to nag him about it; this was not the Imperial Magic Association of Great Xia, and he was not the one calling the shots here.
Following the Golden Radiance Knight to the praise location, they saw two women there.
Standing at the high spot should be the Hall Mother, a woman of unguessable age, looking somewhat solemn yet gentle.
She looked gentle, but Chen Lang was well aware that she was also one of the top anti-human BOSSes in this world.
The other was a Female Sage of Parthenon. It was she who had been explaining matters like the rules to Chen Lang.
Yet seeing that Chen Lang had no intention of paying her any mind, she was extremely displeased as well. In her view, this was a gift, and even many powerhouses of Parthenon might not necessarily possess such treatment...
In Chen Lang's view, make him kneel in respect? Even Old Master had not yet enjoyed such a privilege, so was she worthy?
The Hall Mother did not mind these things at all, merely telling Chen Lang to lower his head.
The Hall Mother gently placed her palm on Chen Lang's forehead. As the murmuring chants seemed to reach the most crucial moment, her speaking speed became extremely rapid. With his eyes closed, Chen Lang also felt as though countless musical instruments representing a sacred aura were playing beside his head, making all distracting thoughts in his mind completely vanish.
It felt just like when he first awakened magic...
"Concentrate your mind and place your intent on the element you wish to receive the blessing for." The Female Sage on the side reminded him once again, her tone this time extremely unkind.
Chen Lang had no intention of paying her any heed at all.
This was something he had earned through his own strength, not something begged for, so naturally, there was no need to act submissively.
At this moment, he was channeling the power of this Blessing Element into his own Lightning Element galaxy.
Soon, all the brilliance converged and shone upon the Lightning Element galaxy. The entire galaxy, flickering with a black glow, radiated a mysterious halo, and every Star Seed was dyed with this layer of light.
At first, they were strong one moment and weak the next, even disappearing at times, but gradually they completely merged in, becoming like a brand and growing firm.
The power amplification of the vast majority of Blessing Element magic, including some magic tools and magic equipment, was temporary, but this Divine Seal Praise directly branded itself into the magic galaxy, akin to strengthening the entire galaxy anew. Even if the galaxy later transformed into a sea of stars, newly born Star Seeds would still possess this light mark.
The Divine Seal Praise permanently enhanced a mage's base power in that element, and it did not overlap with any other Blessing Element strengthening magic, amplification magic equipment, magic tools, or Elemental Seeds—this was precisely what made the Divine Seal Praise so coveted!
The entire process was very slow; branding a permanent blessing mark into a mage's spiritual world was not something completed in a split second, and it was also evident that the magic consumption for this was quite huge...
A very long, long time passed before the Divine Seal Praise ceremony officially concluded. A trace of a smile hung on the Hall Mother's face, and she still said nothing to Chen Lang.
Chen Lang merely briefly displayed the proper etiquette, then headed straight for the prepared cultivation room.
Closed-door cultivation was truly a routine affair for Chen Lang...
When the praise was initially cast, it would grant a direct increase of two to three times to one's base power.
Of course, the Hall Mother's Blessing Element could at most only reach a 2.5-fold increase, and this was not permanent; this base power would decrease over time, and only after dropping to a certain value would it become a permanently strengthened power.
However, due to the connection with Black Annihilation, Chen Lang discovered that from the moment of fusion onward, there was not the slightest bit of loss.
Under the escort of Black Annihilation, the permanent enhancement of the Lightning Element seemed to require no further attention from him.
Taking advantage of this time, he began to calmly cultivate his Space Element and Shadow Element.
Among the resources from the previous Treasure Hunt Competition, the ones he consumed the most were Lightning Element resources, but they were not yet completely depleted, making this quite a suitable opportunity.
A month's time passed quickly, and Chen Lang's Lightning Element had also stabilized at a baseline 2.5-fold!
With this, Chen Lang undoubtedly became a true Thunder Emperor Magic King!!
At least within the peer age group, no one's Lightning Element could be mentioned in the same breath as his.
And to say nothing of other enhancements, based solely on the Soul Seed amplification of Black Annihilation, he was already capable of achieving a 15-fold amplification for a single spell!
If he further added the Lightning Emperor Battle Armor, the destructive power of a single spell of his could reach as much as 22 times!
That is to say, if it weren't currently inappropriate for him to test magic power, Chen Lang would have had to unleash a wave of Thunderous Might.
Indeed, he had not been idle this past month.
His Space Element had already been cultivated to the third level. Although the Shadow Element was a latecomer, having consumed an entire piece of Dark Night Spirit Crystal, he had likewise reached the third level of the Intermediate Level.
Once the enhancements were stabilized, Chen Lang intended to leave Parthenon.
However, just as he walked out of the cultivation room, he saw a female-attendant-like woman standing outside.
Upon seeing Chen Lang walk out, the female attendant was startled for a moment, then inquired with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "Are you Chen Lang, the number one of the World Academy?"
"You know me?"
Chen Lang could be certain that he did not have the slightest impression of the person before him.
The female attendant carefully looked Chen Lang up and down, then shook her head: "I don't know you, but my master wants to meet you."
Chen Lang appeared all the more puzzled. Within Parthenon, anyone who could be called a master undoubtedly possessed an extremely high status.
The problem was, neither he nor the Chen clan had ever had any dealings with Parthenon.
Or rather, their Chen clan was simply not qualified enough to forge a connection with Parthenon...
"Lead the way." Although filled with puzzlement in his heart, he did not refuse.
Go and take a look; what if it turned out to be beneficial to him?
To say nothing else, Parthenon's top-tier divine medicines were undoubtedly the fastest-acting and most supreme remedies in this world. If he could manage to get his hands on some, that would naturally be for the best.
Without any nonsense, the female attendant turned around and led the way forward.
Seeing that the direction she was leading him in headed straight toward Goddess Peak, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a bit curious for a moment about just who wanted to meet him.
And what the reason for wanting to meet him was, or rather, what they had taken a fancy to...
