Chapter 1254: Preparation for Encapsulation, Body Reshaping

When Xia Duo woke up once again, after finishing his daily Meditation Training, he checked the ten semi-finished Demon-Slaying Arrows in his Personal Space at the first opportunity.

Confirming that their state was no different from when he had put them away last night, he then carefully returned these semi-finished items back into his Personal Space.

Although these semi-finished items already possessed all the magic capabilities of a Demon-Slaying Arrow, because they had not yet been encapsulated and existed only as Mithril Components, a single moment of carelessness could cause them to explode in his hands.

As for how to encapsulate them, there was already a pre-arranged plan in the Demon-Slaying Arrow design blueprints; it required a type of wood called "Iron Wood," which was also the material Xia Duo used to make Identity Cards for the residents of Daxia Territory.

This type of wood was sturdy and durable, not inferior to ordinary Iron tools, but at the same time, its weight was far lighter than Iron; it was a very excellent and, naturally, very rare type of wood.

Only one Iron Wood tree had been discovered near the Daxia Territory, and even within the entire range of the Green Pearl Forest, not many could be found.

Of course, in Seventon, it was still quite easy to find some Iron Wood material; after all, this was the Shoudu, so it would be too pathetic if even Iron Wood could not be found here.

……

Just as Xia Duo was busy collecting Iron Wood to complete the final encapsulation of the Demon-Slaying Arrows, far to the east of the Nether Core Region, within the Kelifu Territory, a farce of inheritance distribution that had lasted for three days finally came to an end.

Although the time had already reached June, Maersi, the rotating head for May of the Guanghui Zhi Ta, had gained the upper hand.

He fully utilized the pressure Badijiaer had exerted on everyone's state of mind while at the Guanghui Zhi Ta to rapidly complete the centralization of power at the end of May.

He became the person with the highest Permission Level in the Guanghui Zhi Ta, and even the Kelifu Territory, in a factual sense at this moment.

And this had already been completed on the very night Kelifu died and Badijiaer arrived at the Guanghui Zhi Ta; the following three days were entirely about the distribution of interests and various future powers.

The current Guanghui Zhi Ta had lost Kelifu, which meant it had lost its greatest support; even Maersi, who had already achieved victory, would not treat other Spellcasters too harshly under such circumstances.

Instead, he would win them over even more, as these people were his future wings and allies for jointly dealing with external pressure.

In the conference room, Maersi, surrounded by the crowd, did not feel much joy; instead, he felt an infinite amount of pressure weighing on his spine, almost making him unable to breathe.

"Everyone, the old order has passed away. The current Guanghui Zhi Ta needs us to maintain it together. Now there is something we need to do immediately; we cannot delay for even a moment!"

"What is it? Is it to announce our internal changes to the outside world? Or to petition the Seven Cities Council for you to inherit the position of Lord of Kelifu Territory?"

"No, although these two things are both very important, they are not the most important!"

Maersi glanced at the person who had just spoken, scanned the expressions of the people around him, and then lowered his voice, saying quite cautiously:

"The most important thing now is to demand the return of Teacher's relics from Giles Tower! With the Tower Spirit gone, and in a situation where we cannot rebuild it in a short time, we must ensure that no items that might possess high Permission Level for the Guanghui Zhi Ta are lost outside!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately reacted; at present, they could indeed be said to have inherited the Guanghui Zhi Ta, but this inheritance was not Stabilization.

If Kelifu had been carrying high Permission Level items that controlled the Guanghui Zhi Ta, and if that thing were obtained by someone with ill intentions, then everything they had inherited now would not be safe!

"Yes, Maersi, you are right. This matter is the most urgent one at the moment. I am relatively familiar with Giles Tower; before Great Arcanist Sikumu became the person in charge, I had several exchanges with him. Why don't you let me go to Seventon to negotiate!"

"No need, Ha Man!"

Maersi glared fiercely at Ha Man. At a time like this, he was still playing these little tricks; didn't he see that no one else had mentioned it?

In his heart, Maersi made a heavy note against Ha Man, then directly rejected the other party's request. He said to the crowd:

"I will go to Seventon myself. What you need to do now is to appease all the personnel of the six Mage Towers and ensure a smooth transition of all work."

Regarding this, the crowd was not surprised.

A leader of a faction can certainly enjoy resources that others do not possess, but at the same time, they also bear risks that others do not.

Moreover, the Kelifu Territory had a total of six Mage Towers. Maersi only controlled the Guanghui Zhi Ta now; although the other five Mage Towers were inferior to the Guanghui Zhi Ta, they still accounted for a considerable proportion of the Kelifu Territory.

Rather than saying Maersi quickly integrated everyone to centralize power, it was more that everyone pushed one person to stand out and lead everyone to jointly deal with the external pressure after losing the support of a Great Arcanist.

That person could be Maersi, or it could be someone else, but under those circumstances at the time, choosing Maersi could centralize power at the fastest speed.

……

Soon, Maersi left, preparing to head to Seventon, and the others dispersed one after another. They performed their respective duties, jointly maintaining the normal order of the Guanghui Zhi Ta (Mage Tower organization) and the Kelifu Territory.

Of course, this was also their common interest.

But what no one knew was that shortly after Maersi headed to Seventon, inside a secret room of the Guanghui Zhi Ta that did not exist in public records, a scroll of books stored in a wooden box suddenly emitted a dim, dark, and obscure light.

This dim light continued to spread and soon filled the entire secret room, but this light seemed endless, continuously radiating from the books.

A moment later, when the dim light in the secret room reached a critical point, a blurred human figure suddenly appeared in the center of the secret room and gradually became clear.

Before long, a naked body of flesh and blood appeared quietly, and with the support of the dim light, it rose and fell slightly as if a levitation spell had been cast upon it.

If Maersi and the others were present, it would not be difficult to recognize that this body of flesh and blood was their teacher—the Great Arcanist Kelifu.

It was just that this body in the secret room now was much younger than the previous Kelifu.

At the same time, in the Outer Planes, the Kingdom of Radiance, inside a magnificent hall.

The Law Book Divine Envoy Kafa, whom Xia Duo had once seen, and a gray-robed Divine Envoy who was out of place with the surrounding Holy Light, were questioning Kelifu, who had already transformed into a Law Book Divine Envoy, asking him if he was willing to return to the Mortal Plane to continue his unfinished life.

At this time, Kelifu seemed to have lost all memories of the past. Facing the questioning of Divine Envoy Kafa and another unknown Divine Envoy, he appeared somewhat dazed.

At the same time, Kelifu also had a heartfelt, incomparably sincere yearning and love for this Kingdom of Radiance where he was now.

The Mortal Plane seemed very far away from him; only when he heard keywords like "human" and "resurrection" did his eyes have a slight fluctuation.
