After a while Leylin calm down and felt his point mass stabilizing. This growth was much more fierce and explosive than his evaluation. The strength amplification from the unbelievably pure and mighty bloodline mixed with his Knight Path taken to the most extream pinnacle, incorporated by the Sentient Force formed a phenomenal point mass which is unbelievably strong.

Leylin was now currently a new warlock of his own bloodline, and the effects produced by the amplification provided by his bloodline showed how strong it's strength actually is.

Leylin could also feel that he can mildly understand the biggest mystery of his existence— The sentient force. This has always been an enigma to him, although he could use it, his understanding was extremely fickle and his theories were unfounded but now, Leylin could feel that the three bloodline of the Three Pope covering Creation, Sustention and Destruction has found a mysterious symphony with the sentient force and he has developed some new abilities.

As for the adjacent details he would have to seclude in a period of experimentation.

Leylin pushed the mystery of sentient force a bit backwards since, it isn't something which could be unveiled in a small time and for now, he paid attention to his status.

Looking at the A.I. Chip's report, Leylin touched his chin and went into deep thought.

After advancing to the Morning Star realm, the original spiritual force would undergo purification and turn into soul force. This energy was on a whole new level compared to spiritual force! Leylin has various data available to him but non too much which actually emphasis on the categorization of soul force.

In actuality, Leylin could somehow make some prediction based on his knowledge of the evaluation and stimulate the database according to the soul force and quantify it but it doesn't really matter. Leylin could easily fill the blacks later on by paying a visit to the Sky City and the Monarch of Sky's vast Library. The information and data that the A.I. Chip had on soul force was limited, there was less knowledge in the database to display a value. It could only display numbers in terms of spiritual force.

It doesn't mean Leylin doesn't have an understanding of the Soul force, it's just that his understanding and knowledge is based from Spirit Mark World and Leylin would have to get the data from the Magus World to make a comparison and stimulate a stat based on that transition.

Soul force was a higher-grade version of spiritual force. Hence, advancements in the soul could be seen through advancements in spiritual force. There is no need to have an exact idea, he can estimate just by making use of his future knowledge.

The boundary of the Morning Star realm is 500. This is nearly a hundred higher than a rank 3's spiritual force value. It was obvious that the rank 3 and rank 4 are worlds apart.

"Soul force!" Something came into Leylin mind and a gloomy light appeared above his palm. This was the mutated spiritual force from the point mass, it is also an energy of a greater level. Leylin could feel wonderful energy brimming inside the small light as well as it's fantastic capabilities, the more he saw the more it captivate him.

All Magi at the Morning Star realm and above used soul force. It was only when one reached this stage that they could find their own path in life.

This is why in ancient times, Magi below rank 4 weren't even deemed to have entered the world of Magi yet. There was a huge difference between rank 3 and rank 4, and the same was true between ranks 6 and 7.

Leylin couldn't help but look at his own point mass. In the heart of his sea of consciousness, that small glow of light continued to spin around, forming a nebular spiral that pulled many of the energy particles around within, only to regurgitate them upon purification.

From this point forth, his spirit had been concentrated into the point mass, creating a truesoul. At the same time, due to the protection from the point mass, his resistance toward the previous spiritual force and soul attacks were largely maximised.

The point mass, with its extreme density, was the last defence of Leylin's truesoul. It also hid in itself all of the power Leylin has accumulated so far. The mysterious inside it was mind blowing and even Leylin could only sigh at this sight.

Leylin subconsciously remembered the last moment before he advanced. In that instant, it seemed as though he saw the life and death of the universe, and also the rise and fall of the Leviathan Bloodline showing the experience of Might Dragons, Courageous Tigers, Aloof Turtle and Fierce Vermilion, as well as the Giant Kemoyin Serpent clan. It was also at that very moment that his soul and the sentient force truly bonded with his new bloodline to form one body, making him a true Lord of Bloodlines — Adhishesha Warlock!

As of now, Leylin has officially broken the Bloodline shackles and reaching the Rank 6 status is just a matter of time. As for his pursuit later on, the stars are boundless, the numerous worlds were even more in number than stars in the universe. There is bound to be various methods for him reach a higher level and it's not like he have nothing things planned out if it doesn't works.

Leylin smiled himself. His scope was a lot wider now compared to before, and he even had the ability to adventure through astral gates independently.

A Magus who advanced to the Morning Star realm could cross over to other worlds on his own. The knowledge and resources they could gain through this were incomparable to the rewards from using a spirit seed.

"My first order of business should be stabilising my Morning Star realm or even trying to reach the peak. I should be around 3 star Morning Star in the Soul force compared to the strength classification used in Central continent. In fact currently if I were to go all out with my power I could very well clash against a Rank 5 Magus and not be in a disadvantage. There isn't anyone in the Morning star who could clash and win against me. Forget about winning if I am serious even coming out alive is very difficult." Leylin thought to himself, his strength truly is remarkable but the ways of Magi is also numerous and very dangerous. One shouldn't underestimate others but Leylin have complete confidence in himself as well. Leylin wouldn't be defeated even by a Radiant Moon Magi and at the very least he would be able to retreat.

Leylin doesn't have to worry about increasing the large amount of spiritual force at one go, his body had already has high ability to endure.

Usually one would suffer for maintaining their realm stability because more spiritual force and less vitality is like having too much water in the cup, and the cup was too small. Though there weren't any obvious residual effects, one could only turn into a spirit and walk the path of a spirit Magus if they did not treat this in time.

To solve this, the essence is to strengthen the vitality and allow the body, as well as the spiritual force that suddenly increased, to grow harmonious once more, and get everything done once and for all.

One should need a vitality of 100 or above as he reaches the peak, Leylin looked at his Vitality and laughed, he was more than covered there. His vitality would even cause Radiant moon Magi to go green in envy.

The body was a vessel for spiritual force, Magi took vitality rather seriously. They even had some techniques and body-tempering spell formations just for this. Leylin didn't have to worry since his vitality is already head and shoulder above what a Morning star Magus could have.

"Even if my strength has reached a amazing level it's still not at the peak of the Magus world, let alone the monster in Subterranean World, even in central continent against the Breaking Dawn Monarch even escaping would be difficult so, I shouldn't act without rhyme and reason. In fact, my strength could inadvertently alert my enemies and cause them to join hands which is clearly not a good idea. For now, I should lay low and stabilize myself, taking care of things from the background. The most dangerous enemy is an enemy you don't see, being anonymous bring me wealth of benefits while being out in the open would do nothing except of feeding my ego." Leylin thought, to take care of stuff he can get a representative, he has already been preparing to use someone but now, his resolve only strengthen once again. His eyes shone mysteriously as a plan fan out in his head.

Leylin looked around himself and saw how the whole place was ruined and the undulation were definitely leaked, although the area is naturally isolated it's still better to vacate the premises in case someone comes to investigate.

"I need to make various arrangements and have to take care of Azure Mountain King, Zack as well. There is no need for me to involve myself with the Ouroboros clan trouble currently and expose my strength. Few months from now, all the elders would be gone, I could use that chance to gain authority and stability in my position from the shadows. More importantly gaining the benefits from the contract that Warlock Organization made with the three elders." Leylin doesn't have to worry a lot about the war of the Ouroboros clan and other Magi organization. he could just relax for now, focusing on other taks and possibly even wait for the response from Maroon of Spirit Mark Race.

Leylin streaked away from his spot breaking through the void and disappearing in an instant.

"The future is very interesting, There is also the Lava World." Leylin disappeared as even his silhouette was almost impossible to catch a glimpse off.

For Leylin there is many exciting things waiting for him. For example, the Lava World, That place is a treasure trove too, Leylin could save the elders and gain three subordinates in a sweep. There is also the unique Emberwing race Fireplume technique relating to the Ancient Phoenix, the Firestone capable of increasing the soul force and the most important Ancient Phoenix Egg.

Only the prospect of these things could excite anyone, For Morning star most of the resources found normally are simply of no use. They could only turn their head towards the vast cosmic space and the endless possibilities.

...

Azure Mountain City, situated beside the Andius mountains, was the ancestral territory of the Oakheart Clan.

The Andius mountains were rich in natural minerals, something that made the alloy produced by Azure Mountain City, with its superior quality, one of the most desirable in the entire continent.

With excellent smelting techniques coupled with rich and plentiful natural resources, the Oakheart Clan had superior control over auctions, accumulating an outrageous amount of wealth.

The original name of the progenitor of the Oakheart Clan had long fallen out of the public mind, but his title still remained to this date. He was the powerful and brilliant Azure Mountain King!

Indeed, the progenitor of the Oakheart Clan was the well-known Azure Mountain King, the famed and almighty Morning Star Magus.

The intimidating nature of this Morning Star Magus served as a warning to other vicious and hateful Magi not to have any designs on the Oakheart Clan. Otherwise, it would have long been overtaken and ruled by those fugitive human magicians.

And now, the time had come for the decennial large-scale auction..

As the event venue of the auction was in Azure Mountain City, the entire place was filled to the brim with people. The prices of the airship tickets heading there had also risen sharply due to this event.

However it was not a deterrent, as Magi from everywhere continued to flow into the city.

Some among them were powerful and well known. Others had masked themselves, cherishing anonymity.

Regardless of their varying powers, all the Magi present would generally be disciplined enough to control and maintain themselves. After all, they would lose as well if the auction were to not proceed smoothly.

In fact, they would risk losing much needed materials to an arch-enemy, as well as materials that were hard to obtain through normal means.

With the auction event approaching, the crime rates in the neighbouring areas also increased substantially!

Many fugitive Magi on the wanted list came forth to the event sneakily and had daringly looted many people. But as long as they weren't caught red-handed, the Oakheart Clan, the main organiser, would not excessively pursue the matter.

The otherwise orderly Azure Mountain City had suddenly turned chaotic. A small group of Magi were pushing forward with their own secretive agendas behind the scenes.

As such, even under the watchful eyes of the Morning Star Magus, the Clan had to face a mounting number of incidents hindering their move forward. They were kept busy and anxious.

"This place is very lively!" Cole spoke as the trio of him, Roderick and Lita were at a local inn along a stretch of shops, viewing the hurried crowd through a transparent glass flooring.

In front of them were served colourful glasses of juices, along with some freshly baked cookies and snacks.

They had been in Azure Mountain City for 3 days. The wounds from the clash with Toram had already mostly healed with with their use of potions.

Lita throughout the journey was very quite as she was gathering information making use of her experience and stimulating her fighting ability trying to improve herself. Although that wasn't the main reason for her absentminded attitude, this was actually contributed to the order she just received from Leylin through the A. I. Chip, the order was very startling and being a smart person she easily guessed the most obvious outcome, an outcome which excited her to no end.
