Chapter 293: What Does It Mean to Become a Legendary Mage in a Day?

Yu Lin is coming to the Magic Holy Land on this trip, and of course he wants to make up the currently weakest Magic path in his own Cultivation System.

To that end, he brought an exchange condition that Merlin could hardly refuse: using the Christianity cultivation method as the trade.

Christianity had already been introduced to Britain during the Roman rule, but as the Roman legions withdrew, its influence in Britain—especially in the vast countryside, border regions, and Celtic tribes that clung to their own traditions—has greatly declined.

The native Celtic polytheistic belief still dominates.

This has made the truly core Christianity cultivation method almost lost in Britain, with fewer than one in ten surviving, making it especially precious.

Merlin, as Britain's guardian and scholar, deeply knows the value of many knowledge systems and places great importance on this cultivation method that can supplement the missing local power.

Therefore, he readily agreed to the deal.

At this moment, the two walk side by side on a road in the Magic Holy Land paved with energy runes.

Merlin, as the widely acknowledged strongest person here and a living legend, wherever he goes, whether hurried apprentices or high-level Dharma Masters immersed in experiments, all stop, cast reverent gazes, bow, or respectfully greet "Merlin Master".

Moreover, some familiar Grand Mages enthusiastically invite him to host a lecture or seminar.

As for Yu Lin beside Merlin?

Although the crowd cannot sense his specific magical aura, no one dares to be negligent.

Someone who is personally accompanied by Merlin Master and has such an extraordinary bearing must also be a strong individual.

Therefore, the gazes toward Yu Lin are mostly friendly and curious, tacitly treating him as Merlin's important guest.

Merlin, while responding to the greetings along the way, continues to introduce the basics of the Magic System to Yu Lin, his voice calm:

"The classification of a Mage's rank hinges on the degree of mastery over Magic itself."

"Magic ranges from low to high, roughly divided into Level 1 to Level 9. The level of Magic you can stably cast determines the corresponding Mage rank."

He paused, his tone becoming more solemn,

"And above Level 9, there exists Legendary Magic that surpasses ordinary Magic."

"However, merely mastering or even being proficient in a Legendary Magic does not automatically make you a Legendary Mage; at most you would be called a Great Mage."

"Only when you, by your own wisdom and a new understanding of Magic, independently create an entirely new Legendary Magic, will you be entitled to be honored by the entire Magic World as—Legendary Mage!"

"Now, in our Holy Land, including myself, there are only three."

Yu Lin nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

This advancement system based on 'creation' indeed better reflects a Mage's true foundation and wisdom.

Only using others' Magic cannot be called Legendary.

He then, with a hint of curiosity, asked: "So, what is your Legendary Magic?"

Merlin did not conceal anything; he slightly lifted his chin, and his aged face showed a restrained yet genuine pride belonging to a pioneer:

"My Legendary Magic, … even among Legendary Magic, it can be called Legendary!"

"Because I can, without paying any cost of lifespan, health, or magical essence, glimpse fragments and possibilities of the future."

Future Glimpse?!

Yu Lin felt a slight stir in his heart.

Future Glimpse is already an ability of gods and immortals; even a little means seeing the future!

Merlin being able to do this without the heavy price usually accompanying such forbidden knowledge already shows that his achievements on the path of Magic are comparable to many deities or immortals in mythic systems.

After all, even Yuan Tiangang must endure a corresponding backlash when performing Heaven's Mechanism Glimpse.

"Impressive." Yu Lin sincerely praised, showing his recognition of its magical attainment.

Merlin waved his hand: "But that was before."

"At least I cannot see through your future, or rather, I do not dare to."

"My Magic tells me, as long as I dare to keep Glimpsing."

"Then it dares, at the moment I see, to bring about destruction together with me."

Yu Lin: "........."

He offered no comment; fearing death is human nature.

After all, only someone like Yuan Tiangang, who distrusts evil, dares to see everything.

The two entered the interior of Merlin's towering Magic Tower; the interior space was far more expansive than it appeared from outside, clearly employing superior Space Expansion Magic.

They did not linger on any lower floor, but passed through a Teleportation Array straight to the top-floor Library.

This place can be called the treasury of Merlin's wisdom.

The high dome held countless Light Spheres emitting soft radiance, floating within, illuminating the stacked shelves that reached the dome.

The shelves held not ordinary books but scrolls of Magic Manuals, some even sealed in crystal as pure Magic energy forms.

Merlin walked straight to the core area of the Library, where the strongest protective barriers stood.

With a wave of his hand, he lifted several layers of powerful magical seals, revealing the treasured classics within.

Among them were even Ten Legendary Magic Books emitting heart‑pounding energy fluctuations, recording the secrets of Legendary Magic!

Merlin took out these priceless Magic Manuals, which could stir turmoil in the outside world, including the Ten Legendary Magic Books, in one go, floated them and pushed them before Yu Lin, his tone as relaxed as handing over a cup of tea:

"Feel free to look; the books here have no restrictions for you."

He paused, adding,

"I will later go exchange some magical insights with an old friend, which may take some time."

"If you have anything, or need to discuss, just call me."

Yu Lin scanned the vast sea of knowledge before him, especially the Ten Legendary Magic Books, and nodded: "Alright."

At the next moment, a delicate Transport Array lit up beneath Merlin's feet; with a flash of light, his figure vanished from the tower.

Yu Lin did not delay, casually picking up the nearest Magic Manual, rapidly flipping through, comprehending, and absorbing it.

As he turned pages, each page's content was instantly parsed and mastered!

On the other side, Merlin's figure appeared in the Magic Tower lounge of another Legendary Mage—Coreen.

Coreen is an old man specializing in alchemy and runes, with white hair and beard, but his eyes are sharp.

He sensed Merlin's arrival, lifted his head from a pile of complex alchemy diagrams, adjusted his glasses, and directly asked:

"Merlin, who is that person you brought……? His aura is very special; I have never sensed such a magic wave before."

Merlin chuckled, brushed it off lightly: "A sage from an extremely distant East, very interested in our magic system, wanting to come study and exchange."

"Alright, let's not talk about him; let's continue the unfinished discussion from last time on the issue of 'superimposed stability of multiple rune sequences'……"

Seeing Merlin unwilling to elaborate, Coreen sensibly didn't ask further.

At their level, who doesn't have some secrets? The two quickly redirected their attention to profound magical theory discussion and walked together into the research room inside.

Time flew by in their focused research and exchange; outside the window the sky shifted from bright to dim, then to stars and moon shining together, finally a thread of dawn light poured through the crystal window, illuminating the desk covered in calculation drafts.

Merlin set down the paper in his hand covered with complex formulas and magic models, his face showing tired yet satisfied expression, rose from the desk, and spoke excitedly:

"Good! The idea is completely clear! Exactly like this! Starting today, the construction process of this enhanced magic array can be greatly optimized, efficiency at least increased……"

His declaration full of achievement had not yet been fully spoken——

Buzz!!!!

An incredibly mighty and unstoppable magic wave surged forth, like an ancient slumbering giant god awakening, violently erupting from the distance—precisely, from the direction of Merlin's own magic tower!

This wave was so unique, so vast, carrying an unprecedented rhythmic flavor and creative brilliance, instantly sweeping across the entire Magic Holy Land!

Merlin and Coreen almost simultaneously turned their heads sharply, gazing through the wall toward the direction the wave came from.

The two legendary mages, well-versed and standing at the pinnacle of magic, could not help but show extreme shock on their faces, simultaneously widening their eyes and exclaiming:

"Huh?! This wave is……"

"Legendary magic?!!"

Coreen's voice trembled with disbelief,

"And…… it's completely new?! A legendary magic never before recorded has been born?! In your tower?!"

Merlin's inner shock far surpassed Coreen's.

He knows better than anyone who is currently in his tower!

Yu Lin is not merely studying; he actually created a brand‑new legendary magic in this short night?!

What a joke?! How could this be possible?!
