in front of him and contacted Minos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minos was silent for a moment, and an emergency message marked with a special symbol appeared in front of Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis glanced at it briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content was an emergency report regarding a small town named Gray Stone City within the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s controlled territory, destroyed by unknown beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at the final note, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The association had sent exploration teams to investigate Gray Stone City eight years after its destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No living people were found in Gray Stone City, not even a complete corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on various remnants on the corpse fragments, it could be confirmed as the work of Magic Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the investigation found that more than one type of Magic Beast attacked Gray Stone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identified types included Bear Goblins, Eye Demons, and a wolf-shaped Magic Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of familiarity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis raised his eyebrow; aren’t these Magic Beast types commonly seen in Underground Cities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there an Underground City nearby?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new Underground City has appeared around Gray Stone City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is interesting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pan-Continent Mage Association on Anola Continent has numerous Underground City areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the eight continents of Gaia World, not all have such unique regions like Underground Cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the area of Underground City regions on some continents is not large, and they are not connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the continent of Fanor, where Lis’ territory is located, doesn’t have any Underground City areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Anola and Gena continents have the largest Underground City regions, which are interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underground City regions on Anola and Gena continents are also known as Underground World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underground World is not only caves and rocks; unique conditions create different environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep caves, fungal spore plains, lava areas, and various uniquely dangerous regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These diverse areas equally breed differing biomes and Magic Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the situation, a new Underground City has emerged around Gray Stone City, and it seems the Magic Beasts in this Floating City are quite strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis continued reading the investigation report and indeed found something more intriguing later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Pan-Continent Mage Association personnel’s investigation, there were no Legendary Rank existences among the Magic Beasts that destroyed Gray Stone City; the strongest was merely Golden Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not far from Gray Stone City, investigators still found traces suggesting the presence of legendary existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there were several legendary auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That dark evil aura was clearly not benevolent in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigators carefully tracked these legendary auras, resulting in the discovery of a new Underground City passage within the nearby mountains from Gray Stone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to this situation, the Legendary Council convened an emergency meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Legendary Council meeting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A new Underground City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The association’s Legendary Members were somewhat surprised looking at the intelligence in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Underground City housing legendary existences definitely covers a substantial area; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly foster Legendary Strongmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it might be connected to other Underground World regions on Anola Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an Underground City exit is quite a hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underground Cities nurtured by the continent have many precious minerals and treasures, but simultaneously, the dangers within are genuinely present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides those demons, there are also many intelligent races existing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarfs, goblins, Dark Elves, and so forth, are quite troublesome entities in such unique Underground City areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s Strength is considerably powerful, Mages find it challenging to exert themselves in such unique Underground City environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it’s within the association’s territory, it must be addressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan patted the table and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dispatch people over quickly; at least a Legendary Member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation is unclear; for safety, it’s preferable to send several legends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side’s [Lie Cocoon] Uleer nodded and complemented:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who voluntarily go can receive an extra share of resources extracted after the matter is resolved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t been down to the Underground City for a long time; count me in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Legendary resources still showed interest in the emergence of this new Underground City passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it represents an undeveloped Underground City area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be it the living demons or the wise races that can be communicated with, they all represent wealth to Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, people on Anola Continent are quite familiar with the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, Underground City passages did appear before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Gray Stone City was attacked was because those Magic Beasts were hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these creatures living long in the Underground City are not suited to the surface environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, instinctively they will retreat into the Underground City before sunrise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this has a time limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If unchecked, once those underground Magic Beasts and creatures adapt to sunlight, the creatures around the Underground City passage will suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underground City’s living environment is extremely harsh, making even the weakest dwarfs capable of attacking humans with a numerical advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, and the association cannot neglect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following discussions among the Legendary Members, a rough plan based on prior routines was proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Legendary Members prepared to go over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Underground City areas with Legendary Strongmen attract the Legendary Members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, predictably, was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, under Lis’ covert planning and promotion, the [Source of All Magic] has been steadily progressing and developing increasingly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial aspect is that several Legendary Members have joined the [Source of All Magic].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From among the association’s schools, except for [Star Breath], no other legend has voluntarily joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lis is not worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The influence of those schools is not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although currently, there are no obvious measures from them, Lis is sure they won’t just concede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis continuously monitors their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, up to now, has acquired nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... if he, as the school leader of [Source of All Magic], leaves the association for a period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he’s just not in Kane Floating City and Jonas City, can those people resist not taking action?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis greatly anticipates this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs to identify from the list which are genuinely problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from Gray Stone City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of those rugged mountains, a terrifying collapse fell open, forming a deep, abyssal cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cave, like a giant mouth of the earth, deep and mysterious, seemingly leading directly to an endless Abyss underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the hidden passage to the Mysterious Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the edges of the cave, one can see strings of eye-catching black bloodstains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bloodstains had long solidified, as if dragged by some kind of Magic Beast, leaving winding marks, as if recounting a fierce tale that once happened here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above this deep cave, a scene both bustling and tense unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of mages in varied colored robes were busily working at their respective posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some wielding their Magic Wands, chanting spells, as the spell sounds reverberated in the air;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others bent down, meticulously constructing complex array patterns on the ground, each stroke filled with their focus and Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These arrays, varied in shapes, seemed to have some Mysterious connections with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous Magic Power Gems floated in midair above the cave, shimmering with the multihued magic radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These magic radiances interweave, collide, ultimately converging in the sky above the cave, forming a dazzling ocean of magic brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the illumination of this glow, a seemingly thin yet extraordinarily Solid blue Magic Barrier gradually appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a gigantic transparent shield, securely enveloping the cave, isolating the cave from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This layer of Barrier emitted gentle yet firm blue light, seemingly declaring to the world its inviolability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Careful observation revealed intricately flowing runes on the Barrier surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These runes flickered unsteadily like stars in the night sky, containing endless mysteries and Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a group of small Demon Statues, under the mages’ precise control, marched mechanically towards the Underground cave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-03T10:58:56.132Z","2026-06-03T10:58:59.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","422507b85e1098f8e3017639c7d70fdb26958d2fb05421b8576d42e99785e644","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1403","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1401",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
