Chapter 765: Great Sage of the Spirits

Inside the Elf Temple, Andiya closed her eyes and entered a state of deep Meditation.

Just at this moment, tiny specks of emerald green light drifted out from the statue of the Goddess within the great hall, seeping into Andiya's body bit by bit. After absorbing these emerald light specks, Andiya's already vast aura seemed to become even more unfathomable. However, these light specks drifting from the statue seemed to have a mischievous intent; they gathered together and wrapped around everything on Andiya except for her head.

When Lingyun stepped into the temple, what he saw was Andiya completely wrapped in emerald light, with only her head exposed, looking a little comical.

"Tsk, still so fond of playing pranks!" Lingyun shook his head with some helplessness. "However, since it is your choice, then I will help her out. After all, Andiya is still a certain distance away from the goal you set for her right now!"

Lingyun formed seals with his hands, and tiny specks of light gathered in his palms, actually transforming into another Soul Grinder. Although the original Soul Grinder had been lent by Lingyun to Mengniya and the others to help them recover from soul injuries, it was, after all, one of Lingyun's Soul Phenomena. With Lingyun's current strength, projecting another Soul Grinder that could be used by Andiya alone was not a difficult task.

Lingyun flicked his hand, and the Soul Grinder drifted toward Andiya, hovering above her head to assist her in tempering her Mental Power. Now that all of Andiya's other conditions were met, as long as her Mental Power made another breakthrough, she would be able to reach the conditions required by the Goddess.

However, a breakthrough in Mental Power had never been an easy matter. Even if Andiya had extraordinary talent, she would still need a long period of patient, grinding effort to take that step. And the Soul Grinder Lingyun had summoned now was quietly acting as an accelerator for her, allowing her to complete the breakthrough as soon as possible.

Under Lingyun's urging, the Soul Grinder began to work, and Andiya, who was in Meditation, could not help but frown slightly. Using a Soul Grinder to temper Mental Power was not an easy task, but Andiya had a strong temperament, and she endured all the hardships and difficulties involved.

"Thank you, Lingyun." The drifting, ethereal voice sounded in Lingyun's ear once again.

"After all, she is the person you chose; it is only right and proper for me to look after her a little," Lingyun said with a wave of his hand.

Just at this moment, six rays of light in different colors suddenly rose from the statue of the Goddess and shot toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun opened his hand, and the six rays of light stopped simultaneously in his palm, transforming into six Medals of different colors.

"You still kept this thing?" Looking at the Medals in his hand, there was a hint of nostalgia in Lingyun's tone.

"After all, it is something you left behind; I kept it all this time just for the sake of nostalgia. Now that you have returned, these things can be considered returned to their rightful owner."

"Returned to their rightful owner, huh!" Lingyun chuckled.

In the Elf Kingdom, Medals were an extremely rare thing. Because the only ones who could bestow Medals were the Goddess, the Queen, and the Elf High Priest. And every holder of a Medal had a lofty status within the Elf Kingdom.

The six Medals in his hand were the symbols of identity for the Lingyun Mercenary Group in the Elf Kingdom back then. These six Medals were engraved with different patterns according to their different colors, and each Medal represented a Sword Saint. These six Medals had special significance; they were personally designed and crafted by the six great Sword Saints and bestowed by the Goddess herself, known as Sage Medals. And the Lingyun Mercenary Group, holding the Sage Medals, possessed an extraordinary status within the Elf Kingdom.

Lingyun opened his hand, and the six Medals hovered up in his palm, then began to decompose and combine. In the end, the six Medals actually combined into one Medal. Because it was composed of six Medals of different colors, this Medal also had six colors; although there were many colors, it appeared extremely harmonious, carrying a trace of mysterious color.

"Eh, these six Medals can actually combine?" There was a hint of surprise in the Goddess's presence.

"After all, at the time of the initial design, I had already envisioned that this day would come." Lingyun looked at the Medal in his hand, strange light flowing in his eyes.

A powerful aura emanated from this Medal; although it was only a Medal, its might was in no way inferior to an ordinary Sacred Gear. In fact, this Medal was forged by Lingyun to match the Six Holy Swords. If Lingyun had possessed this Medal when he faced the Lord of the Demon World back then, there wouldn't be so many issues now.

"Hmm, the previous Sage Medals already possessed a special status in the Elf Kingdom. Now that the six Medals have combined into one, this Medal should have an even higher status. Let's call it the Great Sage Medal. From now on, you are the Great Sage of the Spirit race," the Goddess said with a giggle.

"Great Sage of the Spirit race? That is a status equal to the High Priest. Is it really okay for you to give me such a status just like that?" Hearing the Goddess's casual words, black lines could not help but appear on Lingyun's forehead.

"Hey, I have wanted to pin this title on you for a long time! You don't even think about how many things in this Elf Kingdom are your inventions. If it weren't for you suddenly leaving back then, this title would have fallen on you long ago," the Goddess said. "Besides, with this title, if the Elf Kingdom faces any difficulties, you won't just stand by and watch, right!"

"You..." Listening to the Goddess's slightly tsundere tone, Lingyun shook his head helplessly. "Even without this title, given my relationship with the Spirit race, if any problems arise for the Spirit race, I would still step in to help!"

"But, with this title, wouldn't it be much more convenient for you to act within the Spirit race?" The Goddess's giggling voice came, then slowly dissipated. "Besides, during this period, the Spirit race still needs your care!"

Lingyun put away the Medal in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Just at this moment, the temple doors were knocked upon. Lingyun frowned slightly and walked toward the temple doors.

"Mr. Lingyun." Seeing Lingyun appear, Jienuo outside the temple doors bowed slightly toward Lingyun.

"Jienuo, why have you come? Could it be that something has happened in the Morning Light Forest?" Lingyun asked.

Because Mengniya and the other two Great Elf Envoys had not yet fully recovered from their injuries, the guards on the outskirts of the Elf Kingdom were temporarily under Jienuo's responsibility. Now that Jienuo appeared here, there must be some situation on the outskirts of the Elf Kingdom.

Some time ago, the Spirit race's Army had already withdrawn from the Orc Empire. However, after withdrawing, they had quietly left a big pit for the Orc Empire. One must know that the Mad Lion Fortress had been razed to the ground by the Spirit race at the time, which was equivalent to directly exposing the plains behind the Mad Lion Fortress to the Norton Empire. As for whether the Norton Empire would take this opportunity to do something, that was not a matter for the Spirit race to be concerned about.
