Then, he went to the upper living room and gazed out through the broad viewing window at the endless sea of neon flowers swaying gracefully under the eternal daylight.

The gentle moon-white halo scattered from the celestial flowers and the beams of light filtered through the canopy of leaves intertwined, composing a tranquil and captivating picture.

This place is entirely different from the tense suffocation of the Oracle Plane or the eternal darkness of the Elf Plane, serving as a true haven for rest and contemplation.

Duke quietly spent a few days in the manor, not engaging in intense training or research, but instead rarefully allowing himself to relax completely.

He read miscellaneous travel journals collected from various planes that were unrelated to his primary research direction, took walks in the flower sea surrounding the manor, observing the growth of those peculiar plants.

He even personally attempted to blend a few new beverages using some local herbs and tea leaves brought from the Wizard Plane.

This intentional leisure was to provide complete relaxation and sedimentation for the spirit after consecutive adventures in two planes.

He repeatedly reminisced and organized the experiences, gains, and losses in his mind, allowing the fierce battles, clever calculations, and unexpected discoveries to slowly internalize into more steady experience and insight.

After a few days of rest, Duke’s mental state returned to its best.

He went to the study in the manor, spread open a large piece of white paper, and began to meticulously plan the upcoming core matters with the aid of a cognitive nucleus.

The primary goal was clear and definite, which was to wait for the Energy Well to be filled.

The Bright Energy Well and the Dark Energy Well within the Light God Court are expected to reach their designed capacity in five to six months.

This is a meticulous task requiring time accumulation, cannot be rushed, and only requires regular monitoring of its progress.

Next is related to one’s attributes, Duke glanced at the attribute panel on the skill tree.

[Constitution: 34.7]

[Strength: 36.2]

[Agility: 33.5]

[Spirit: 231.5]

[Free attribute points: 14]

Spiritual power has also been steadily growing since the period of cultivation.

Counting the free attribute points, he is still 10.5 points short of the 256 points of spirit required for promotion to Level 2 Mage.

Duke plans to spend the next half year leveling up some skills that aren’t yet at max.

If free attribute points are still insufficient, then purchase some treasures and resources that increase spiritual power to help him break through the final barrier.

Just as Moonlight Fighting Spirit hasn’t yet reached max level, Duke is quite curious whether if he levels up this Breathing Technique to max, he might also gain a moonlight-related affinity attribute.

However, the high affinity attribute of moonlight seems useless in other planes, because only the Elf Plane has those three mysterious, peculiar moons.

But having more talents with affinity attributes won’t be problematic.

Besides cultivation, research on the Seed of Light, Light Altar, Ancient Slate, and Gold Tree must also continue, with observation and recording whenever possible.

The Light God Court is still vibrant.

Duke checked the symbiotic state between the Seed of Light and the Ancient Altar, everything is stable, even sensing that the Seed of Light is more serene and active than initially, and the primordial aura it emanates blends increasingly harmoniously with the environment of the divine court.

Next to it, the liquid surface of the energy in the spherical core container of the Bright Energy Well is rising at an extremely slow but determined speed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

On the distant hillside, the reserves of the Dark Energy Well are also steadily increasing.

He recorded the data with satisfaction, estimating that the progress is as expected.

After completing the routine daily work, Duke came beside the Moon Well.

He came here to practice the Moonlight Breathing Technique.

[Moonlight Breathing Technique: LV5 (452/1000)]

During the time lurking within the Elf Plane, Duke did not idle; other magic was inconvenient to use, so he spent his time practicing the Moonlight Breathing Technique.

Now, it is already at level five, not far from max level.

Duke also found that practicing the Moonlight Breathing Technique beside the Moon Well can progress faster.

This Fighting Spirit originates from the Elf Plane, emphasizing resonance with moonlight, bodily flexibility and agility, and instantaneous bursts.

Though there was initially a barrier to Duke with a human body cultivating elf Fighting Spirit, his strong spiritual power enables fine energy control.

More importantly, he is able to directly practice beside the Moon Well.

When he starts to guide his internal blood energy according to the method, attempting to condense the Fighting Spirit, the silver brilliance of the Moon Well seems to flicker slightly in the distance.

A wisp of cooling and pure moonlight energy is invisibly drawn in, crossing space and merging into his body, combining with his blood energy.

Instantly, the resistance in cultivation greatly diminishes, and a delicate and lively silver stream develops smoothly in his lower abdomen.

The progress of Moonlight Breathing Technique is very fast under the continuous nourishment of the Moon Well’s energy.

Besides the Moonlight Breathing Technique, the progress of Light Divine Breathing Technique is also steadily advancing.

The progression speed of Light Divine Breathing Technique within the Light God Court is extremely fast, growing like a rocket.

Additionally, there are combat techniques like Sun Slash, Shadow Escape Step, and Thousand Overlapping Waves Strike included in the daily cultivation schedule.

These are relatively simple skills, making them effective to level up.

Following that are more than ten Level 1 Magic recently collected by Robert for Duke.

Curse magic remains the most suitable skill tree skill, mastering it is simple, casting is quick, allowing faster acquisition of free attribute points.

The only problem is Duke has almost mastered all the curse magic obtainable from the Oracle Plane.

These spells are ones Robert acquired from all channels at great expense by utilizing his advantage as a player with information.

Asking him to continue gathering new spells in the short term is unrealistic.

Unless the strength of Star Embers Guild in the Oracle Plane can experience a qualitative leap, directly subduing the Four Gods Sect to turn over all internal spells.

But for the Four Gods Sect with a Level 3 Great Mage in charge, this goal is also unattainable.

Apart from these, a particularly unique skill, namely "True Art of Qingyang Control Qi" exists.

[True Art of Qingyang Control Qi: LV1 (75/1000)]

If curse magic is best suited to the skill tree, then True Art of Qingyang Control Qi is the least suited.

Because the proficiency bar of this cultivation method is not only long, but gaining proficiency also consumes a lot of time.

Duke needs to sit in meditation, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow through one cycle in his body to gain one point of proficiency.

Such practice requires at least ten minutes each time, which is naturally extremely slow compared to other skills.

Duke hasn’t rushed to practice True Art of Qingyang Control Qi; he has a premonition that the secrets hidden behind this method will be of significant use in the future.

However, for now, the time investment for this skill yields very low returns.

The benefits are not visible in the short term, yet a substantial amount of time needs to be invested.

Right now, Duke is most pressed for time, so he needs to allocate his time to skills that easily gain proficiency, hence he temporarily set aside True Art of Qingyang Control Qi.

He also suspects the progress might be slow because the environment he is currently in is unsuitable for practicing the True Art of Qingyang Control Qi.

If under a different sky, the progress might be much faster.

However, currently, there are no leads, so it will have to wait for future research.

The most important task now is to quickly max out various skills and accumulate spiritual power to 256 points.

After spending a total of half a month in the manor, Duke was ready to return to the Wizard Plane.

Although the Flower Sea Plane has a beautiful environment, it ultimately is just a Low Plane, suitable for resting, but not for cultivation.

The concentration of Free Energy Particles in the Wizard Plane is much higher, naturally returning to the Wizard Plane for several months of dedicated cultivation is better.

After experiencing some uneventful teleportation and transfer, Duke’s figure reappears in the familiar teleportation hall of Dusk City.

The air with a unique sea scent and the casual, laid-back atmosphere of the West Coast fills his nostrils, reinvigorating his spirit.

He did not linger, nor did he contact any acquaintances in the city; like the most ordinary returning wizard, he discreetly passed through the bustling streets, directly arriving at a secluded and perilous seaside cliff at the city’s edge.
