Chapter 356: The Mighty Power of the Scorching Sun
「Celestial Realm.」
On an eastern mountain peak, a small sun floated in mid-air.
Many people passing by glanced over curiously.
They wanted to get closer for a better look, but they could feel the intense Magic Fluctuations and the presence of a Cultivation Barrier.
Everyone just took a look from afar before turning to leave.
When students from the Purple Level Class cultivated in the Celestial Realm, they could cordon off an area for their practice.
A Magic Barrier would automatically form, warning others not to approach and disturb someone’s Cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, no one would disturb another person’s Cultivation.
Interrupting someone’s Cultivation rashly was an easy way to make an enemy.
This was because an interruption could damage one’s mind and spirit.
Furthermore, if the person was at a critical juncture in their Cultivation, a sudden interruption was tantamount to severing their future prospects and foundation.
It was an incredibly easy way to make a bitter enemy.
Thus, no matter how great the commotion Li Wei’s Cultivation caused, no one came to disturb him.
In fact, the greater the disturbance his Cultivation created, the less others dared to interfere.
It meant his power was that much greater.
No one wanted to offend an expert.
Everyone was extremely curious. Who on earth was cultivating on the peak and causing such a ruckus?
Everyone knew the top figures in the Purple Level Class, and none of them made this much noise when they cultivated.
"I heard there’s a new guy. Could it be him?"
"No way. I heard the newcomer is a Tier Three Mage. His Cultivation couldn’t possibly cause a stir this big."
"Elfa often cultivates on the eastern peaks. Maybe he found a new Cultivation Method?"
"Could be. Only a handful of people in the Purple Level Class have that kind of power."
Elfa stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the small sun on the summit for a long while.
He didn’t know who had snatched his usual cultivation spot.
However, this person’s power was likely no less than his own.
’Those guys should all know I usually cultivate here, so they wouldn’t come looking for trouble. Who could it be?’
Elfa was also extremely curious.
The sheer presence generated by this person’s Cultivation indicated that their power was immense.
As far as Elfa was concerned, even within the Purple Level Class, only a select few possessed this level of power.
But he was quite familiar with those individuals.
Each of them had their own exclusive cultivation spot, a fact everyone knew, so no one would occupy another’s without reason.
Elfa guessed it might be an outsider.
’Did someone new join the Purple Level Class recently? Or is it an exchange student from another Top Level Mage Tower?’ Elfa wondered.
After watching for a moment, he turned and left.
It didn’t look like the person would finish their Cultivation anytime soon.
Elfa certainly wasn’t going to just stand around and wait.
Besides, this wasn’t his only cultivation spot.
He just happened to prefer cultivating here.
Elfa started asking around, wanting to know just who had taken his spot.
Li Wei had no idea his Cultivation was causing such a stir.
Not that he would have cared if he did.
This was the single best spot in the entire Celestial Realm for practicing the Fiery Sun Visualization Method.
If not here, then where?
As for whether someone else had claimed this spot before?
Li Wei didn’t care.
It was first come, first served.
No saving spots.
The Celestial Realm also had its own day and night cycle.
Li Wei cultivated until dusk, when the sun finally set.
The small sun he had become had grown a full size larger.
Reverting to his human form, he returned to normal.
Li Wei sensed the Scorching Sun within his mind.
After just the first day of Cultivation, the Scorching Sun in his mind had already grown to three meters in diameter.
Li Wei was overjoyed.
The empty shell of the Scorching Sun formed by visualization initially held no tangible Power.
But the Scorching Sun condensed by absorbing the Power of the Scorching Sun was real, tangible Power.
Even without a sun hanging high in the sky, he could draw upon the Scorching Sun in his Sea of Heart to slightly augment the power of his Magic.
However, augmenting more powerful Magic required an even greater Power of the Scorching Sun.
The Sun in the sky possessed limitless Power.
Li Wei could draw upon and borrow it at will; the only limit was his own capacity.
The Scorching Sun in his Sea of Heart had limited Power. He estimated that augmenting a single Tier Three Magic spell would completely deplete it.
Then he would have to condense it all over again, which was a hassle.
Until the Scorching Sun in his Sea of Heart grew strong enough, he should avoid using its Power as much as possible.
Once the Scorching Sun in his Sea of Heart grew stronger, the recovery rate of the Power of the Scorching Sun would also increase significantly during the day.
As long as he didn’t completely deplete its Power, he wouldn’t have to re-condense the Scorching Sun from scratch; it would just take some time to recover the Power of the Scorching Sun.
Li Wei pulled his focus back to reality and looked around.
The ground beneath his feet was scorched black, and the surrounding vegetation had been reduced to ash.
Thankfully, there wasn’t much vegetation on the summit. Otherwise, after an afternoon of Cultivation, he might have burned the whole mountain down.
Li Wei looked up at the distant sunset.
’The Scorching Sun in my Sea of Heart is barely over three meters in diameter, while the real sun’s diameter is immeasurably vast.’
’Forget about matching the real sun. Even with a thousand-li Scorching Sun, I could probably run rampant in this world.’
’Growing over three meters in one day, so ten meters in three days... At that rate, a thousand-meter Scorching Sun would take three hundred days, and a thousand-li one would take one hundred fifty thousand days... No, that’s not how it works. The Scorching Sun’s growth is primarily in volume; the larger it gets, the harder it is to increase the diameter.’
’The actual time required is impossible to estimate.’
Li Wei shook his head, clearing his mind of such distracting thoughts.
It was useless to think so far ahead.
If he ever reached that stage, forget a thousand-li Scorching Sun.
Li Wei felt that even a thousand-meter one would be incredibly powerful.
A thousand li was too far off. He’d focus on creating a thousand-meter one first.
He flicked his right wrist, and a Fireball appeared in his palm. Its outer flames were red, while the core burned a searing, dazzling orange-red.
’It seems the Fireball Skill has also changed after practicing the Fiery Sun Visualization Method.’
Li Wei could sense an even greater Power contained within the Fireball.
With a flicker of his will, he activated the Nuclear Secret Technique.
A trace of the Power of the Scorching Sun within the Fireball was triggered, erupting with even greater energy.
For an instant, Li Wei thought he was about to lose control of the Fireball in his palm as it threatened to explode.
The Fireball expanded violently, its diameter surpassing one meter in the blink of an eye.
Sensing the wildly expanding destructive force within the Fireball, Li Wei hurriedly and carefully began to release its internal Power.
It was the middle of the night; randomly casting Magic wasn’t a good idea.
He’d almost been caught by an Elder before for carelessly casting Magic in the Cultivation Realm.
Li Wei didn’t dare to cast spells recklessly anymore.
Especially since the power of this Fireball was likely beyond his imagination.
’During the day, this Fireball’s power would probably be even more terrifying.’
Li Wei felt like he didn’t even need to learn any other Magic.
If he kept cultivating like this, the Fireball Skill’s power would become absurdly strong, even without him needing to meticulously refine it further.
Of course, that was just a fleeting thought.
He still had to continue refining the Fireball Skill.
And he still had to learn more Magic.
In fact, Li Wei had already decided what spell he wanted to learn next.
He had already been promoted to a Tier Four Great Mage. Learning a Tier Five Magic spell wouldn’t be too much to ask, would it?
’And if he was going to learn a Tier Five Magic spell, he was naturally going to learn the most powerful one!’
