Lands_2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lis’s strength and influence continue to grow, the possibilities for changes in the future will also increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since a decision has already been made, Lis will not fear the potential changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underground City that suddenly appeared in front of him piqued Lis’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is directly under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the results of previous investigations, the size of this Underground City is quite astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can almost be confirmed as part of the continent’s Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it should belong to the unexplored regions within the Underground City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexplored regions of the Underground City refer to areas within the Underground City that have not been fully investigated, concealing many mysterious zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of the Underground City has been quite long-lasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only do the races living on the continent’s surface explore it, but the intelligent beings within the Underground City also continue to explore the entire Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the area of the Underground City is vast, and compared to the surface, it has numerous passageways; the Underground City, which stretches in all directions, is particularly easy to get lost in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, as of now, many areas of the continent’s Underground City remain unexplored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those areas that have been investigated, many intelligent races have established city-states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them have contact with the surface and even organize trade caravans regularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trading the precious metals, gemstones, and other extraordinary materials produced in the Underground City for food, drinks, and even fresh fruits and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for the unexplored regions, very few venture there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, those places hide countless unknown dangers and various powerful, terrifying Magic Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for strong adventurer teams, few are willing to venture into unexplored regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic power concentration within the Underground City areas is not uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some areas where magic power is highly concentrated, besides containing various strange spots and treasured items, they also nurture various incredible beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Key Underground City areas are also special zones in the Gaia World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for Mages, it’s quite a dangerous place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the regional characteristics of the Underground City, Mages’ exploration and perception within the Underground City face inexplicable influences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, most environments in the Underground City are rugged and narrow, affecting the effect and power of Mages’ spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in the Underground City areas, warriors, assassins, and other professions are more adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pan-Continent Mage Association has recruited these Professionals, but they don’t form a significant force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the current circumstances, they are essentially useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Pan-Continent Mage Association could request assistance from the Warrior Guild and Assassin Guild, but the association doesn’t plan to do so until situations become extremely dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for now, before determining the source of those Magic Beasts, the association has temporarily halted the large-scale exploration of the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it’s time for the backbone of the Pan-Continent Mage Association to make their appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The association’s Magic Intelligence has already issued an exploration commission for the Underground City to all mid-to-high-level mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most are members from various schools within the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, during the last meeting of the Legendary Council at the association, many Legendary Members showed interest in the newly appeared Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, there are already Legendary Members who have arrived at the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just haven’t shown themselves directly, just like Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment of the Underground City is somewhat harsh for ordinary Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Mages who have achieved Legendary status, it’s a different situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they are well-prepared, general Underground Cities pose little threat to Legendary Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this refers only to typical Underground City areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Underground City before him exudes a presence that makes even Lis feel somewhat dangerous and uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this is not enough to stop Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis’s figure flickered and directly entered the dark entrance of the Underground City before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the unfathomable depths, rocky passages twist and coil like giant dragons, winding toward unknown depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Variously shaped stone pillars stand tall and dense at the top of the passage, akin to artworks finely carved by time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water droplets trickle slowly along the patterns of the stone pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip, drop~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That crisp and rhythmic sound echoes in the silent corridor, like a soothing nocturne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick moss grows wantonly on the surrounding rocky walls, like a furry green blanket over the cold rocks, exuding a primordial and mysterious aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, most of the corridors are immersed in endless darkness, inspiring awe and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, within this profound darkness, there are occasional spots where a faint yellow light of glowing moss flickers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are scattered like stars in the corners of the corridor, striving to dispel the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the weak light is insufficient to illuminate the entire corridor, it offers a glimmer of hope and solace to those who arrive in this dark world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a team of five is cautiously advancing along the underground passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This team comprises two mages, one warrior, and two stalkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two assassins take positions at the front and rear of the team, proceeding while carefully observing any potential dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior and the mages are in the middle of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall warrior isn’t wielding a weapon but holding a heavy shield, guarding in front of the two mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mages are highly focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the mages has his eyes closed, seemingly using a special spell to probe the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other mage grips a yellowish-brown Magic Wand in his right hand while holding a dark yellow sheepskin scroll in his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint spatial aura emanates from the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the team is extremely cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are unaware of what dangers lurk in the darkness of the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they all have had experience exploring Underground City areas, they dare not take any chances with the current commission from the Pan-Continent Mage Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely because they have explored Underground City areas that they understand the dangers of unexplored regions of the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Legendary Strongman has the potential to fall by a single misstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, having faced such terrifying Magic Beast tides before, they hardly believe the Underground City before them is a safe place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the mage in the middle of the team with closed eyes suddenly stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding teammates instantly cast their gaze toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pascal, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van Buren, who had been on alert, hurriedly inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened on the Space Transmission Scroll in his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The magic power concentration a hundred meters ahead on the left is unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pascal opened his eyes and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on my experience, it should be an Earth Element-related magic ore deposit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll mark it on the map.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Pascal’s words, Van Buren slightly exhaled a sigh of relief and then took out a map glowing with a faint magic light and recorded it on there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stalker at the head of the team was already exploring toward the place Pascal mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the map in Van Buren’s hand, a winding and twisting Underground City passage continues to extend downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along this passage, multiple marks have already been left on the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these marks represent various magic resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, this exploration team doesn’t seem overly joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more magic resources found, the higher the magic power concentration within this Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the corresponding Underground City regions will be even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, up to now, apart from some naturally occurring dangers in the Underground City, they haven’t encountered too much danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior Jia’er leaned against the surrounding passage and pointed to a small space on the left side of the passage ahead, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time’s almost up; we’ll rest here today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground there is relatively dry, with luminous moss, making it suitable for resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the group isn’t too exhausted, conserving strength in the Underground City is most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Pascal sensed a magically woven thread he placed in the passage behind him being triggered and promptly issued a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, everyone in the team hurriedly grabbed their weapons, warily looking towards the shadowy passage behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1390,"2026-06-03T10:58:56.132Z","2026-06-03T10:58:59.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","baec1a01e79bedfc4418a47813b95841b0c7d7e290265af4514ea1253ad9ed2f","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1405","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1403",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
