The Strongest Magician of Gods

The crane flapped its wings and circled from the towering mountain peak, only realizing how majestic and enormous the peak was as it drew nearer.

This peak is nestled among the clouds, with several palaces shimmering faintly in the mist. Many figures, no bigger than ants, hurry about within, hidden by dense forests, exuding a refreshing atmosphere.

"唳"

The cries of cranes rose and fell, and several cranes flew from the mountain peaks to the foot of the mountain.

"Puff puff"

They flapped their wings and stood on a row of rooftops. Mo Bei and his companion were stunned. In their sight, a rice field swayed, and magicians dressed in magic robes rode on magic brooms, passing through the boundless fields.

They were busy, magic shimmering in a small cloud, a few drops of rain falling from beneath the cloud in front of them, irrigating the rice paddies and nourishing the soil.

They used magic to summon that cloud from the horizon. From a distance, each magician was accompanied by a cloud, with a light rain falling from it, and the cloud layer gradually thinned out.

The rice paddies pattered as rainwater splashed and slid off the rice leaves.

These mages were undoubtedly powerful, each possessing incredibly profound magical power. Some even surpassed them by a wide margin just by observing their magical fluctuations, making them particularly terrifying.

The Hall of Soul-Capturing, with its blue-gray floor tiles, features several palaces standing tall.

"dong dong dong"

A huge bell rang out in the tall palace, and many figures stood before it. A disciple sat at a desk, registering names in a register full of intricate patterns.

“That’s about it.” A voice full of vicissitudes echoed through the space.

"Yes, elder."

Before the desk, the young magician bowed deeply, then stared intently at the long line of magicians waiting for their tests.

The crowd moved about busily, their footsteps hurried, their expressions tense, and there was no more laughter or chatter.

"Today is a great day for my Soul-Seizing Hall, and it is also a blessing for you all. However, my hall is extremely strict in recruiting disciples, so I hope you will be understanding and not hold any grudges."

The young magician rose from his desk in one step, his magic surging forth, his voice filling the space.

"Dong dong dong" followed several chimes.

"The test begins!" the young mage shouted.

"Yue Hengshan".

Beside the young magician, an outer sect law enforcement officer flipped through the roster, raised his eyebrows, and shouted.

"exist"

The crowd stirred, looking back and forth at the people on the field. A burly man walked in from behind, dressed in tattered hunting clothes and carrying a bow and arrows.

"This humble one, Yue Hengshan, pays his respects to all the esteemed officials." Yue Hengshan walked over, swallowed a few times, unable to hide his excitement, and bowed deeply.

The young magician looked him up and down, then smiled and gestured when he saw his attire.

“No need to be nervous. This roster records that you are a metal-type mage who only realized your magical talent at the age of thirteen,” the young mage said, sizing you up.

“Exactly…that’s right.” Yue Hengshan trembled subconsciously.

The young magician laughed as he looked at the honest-looking man.

"Alright, then go to the Spirit Root Hall with your identity badge and wait in line for the test."

He teased the burly man for a while, then casually handed him a token engraved with the words "Tianyi," meaning number one in the world.

The burly man trembled as he reached out and took it, finally calming down completely.

"Thank you very much, sir." Yue Hengshan bowed deeply.

The young magician was amused once again by the honest-looking man.

"No need for that. My surname is Yao, just call me Senior Brother." Yao Mocan smiled.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"please"

The outer gate enforcer, standing to the side, covered his mouth, his face trembling.

Ye Shaojun

The crowd in front of the hall stirred up once again.

On the back mountain, Mo Bei and his two companions dismounted from the crane and began to climb step by step, facing the majestic mountain peak.

"The back mountain is fertile land for cultivation, and the Soul-Seizing Hall treasures these fields! How about that, isn't it an eye-opening experience?"

From the mountainside, Mo Bei and his companion looked down, where a lush green expanse stretched to the horizon, seemingly for an unknown distance.

“Fertile fields need daily irrigation, and that is the task of most outer disciples,” Li Yuanlong said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei was taken aback.

"No way, is the Soul-Seizing Hall really that rich and powerful? Using high-level mages to irrigate hundreds of acres of fertile land every day? Isn't that a waste of talent?"

Luo Xiu smiled wryly to the side.

“This field is not that field; the little guy really doesn’t know its value,” Li Yuanlong shook his head and sighed.

"The rice in the sect is different from that in the secular world. It is said to be able to abstain from grains. Once you eat it, you will have a lot more time to cultivate. It is an essential cultivation item for magicians when they go into seclusion. Do you think it is important or not?"

Luo Xiu tugged at Mo Bei's sleeve and whispered.

After listening, Mo Bei was startled and realized this hidden secret.

"No wonder." Mo Bei nodded.

“That’s right. Outer disciples can receive half a catty of this rice every month. You must make the most of this Demon Ascension Conference and not hide your abilities. Otherwise, don’t blame me if you suffer losses later,” Li Yuanlong said.

"My lord, is the Demon Ascension Ceremony really that important? Is there some other intricacies involved?" Luo Xiu asked.

"You guys really know nothing about sect power. Although you are geniuses, you are still commoners and the lowest level of magicians. You can't compare to those people in terms of resources and connections. So since you come from the bottom, you should be aware of this and not be too ambitious."

"Among all living beings, how many magicians on the Magic Continent have been buried in the long river of time since the beginning of time? Rather than calling you geniuses, you are comparable to those geniuses buried in the endless years. Are you two really that bad? You are truly a pair of blockheads."

Li Yuanlong was furious. After some deliberation and looking at the two people beside him, he decided to enlighten Mo Bei and the other man.

"Alright, I see you two are to my liking, so I'll speak to you. The Soul-Seizing Hall has many powerful factions, insignificant to outsiders, but with considerable intricacies within. The most powerful among them are the families, whose lineage can be traced back to the very founding of the Soul-Seizing Hall. In fact, these are the ones who truly control the Soul-Seizing Hall. However, with your blockheaded minds, I don't expect you to be able to curry favor with those families. So, if you have talent, don't hide it. If you make a name for yourselves at the Demon Ascension Conference, perhaps you can change your fate in a short time. If your talent is even better, it's not impossible for you to become disciples of an elder," Li Yuanlong advised.

"Uh..." Mo Bei was a little confused. Listening carefully to Lord Yuanlong's words, he felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking about it, he sometimes wondered if he had returned to that familiar world, where connections and backdoors were used. Damn it, it was really unpleasant to hear.

"Therefore, the Demon Ascension Conference represents an opportunity, but this opportunity sometimes also carries some dangers, so you need to be careful," Li Yuanlong said casually.

Mo Bei and his companion were surprised. They looked at each other and bowed slightly.

"We hope you will teach us, sir," said Mo Bei and the other man.

"Alright, in this Demon Ascension Tournament, if you have such talent, you only need to be careful of a goblin. However, with your talent, in fact, even if you encounter one, I'm afraid this lord wouldn't even look at you. Let's not talk about it."

"Goblin..." Mo Bei was surprised.
