Chapter 271: Inauguration as a Dharma Saint
In the Sun Palace, Ash stopped writing and looked into the distance.

"What a troublesome opponent."

With his strength, it would not be difficult to kill the five-headed dragon with the help of [Four Wills of All Heaven]. However, the most troublesome thing was not it, but Slaanesh behind it.

Slaanesh must be keeping an eye on this kind of important seed all the time, and perhaps Slaanesh's chosen one will descend at any time.

"Let's see who grows faster." Ash twirled his pen. The time for him to become a demigod was not far away.

January 1240th, of the Iron Calendar.

It was rare that Ash did not handle government affairs, but stayed in a secret room to meditate.

{Affected by the learned skill · [Elemental Heart Crystal], the inherent skill · [Power of the Great Element] has been solidified.}
[Power of the Elements]: Greatly improves the ability to control elements and makes elemental spells more effective.

As this inherent skill solidified, Ash felt that his second body was changing again. He knew that this was the last piece of the puzzle to complete the Mage Profession - Elemental Lord.

"It's really easy to practice from high to low."

Ash sighed a little. Although his second body had excellent talent, if he wanted to become a mage, he would have to work hard for fifteen or sixteen years before he could succeed.

However, the second body has reached the maximum level, a level that non-illegal saints cannot reach. In the perfect state, he can practice meditation extremely quickly.

Even without the help of achievement points, one can accomplish in one or two years what ordinary people would never be able to accomplish in their entire lives.

Feeling this second body that was still changing, Ash decided to speed it up a little. This method was not difficult for him now.

Without seeing Ash move, the changes in the second body were rapidly intensifying.

{Inherent skill · [Elemental Master] has been upgraded, and inherent skill · [Elemental Law] has been solidified.}
[Elemental Law]: When using elemental spells, the power increases greatly.

{Achievement: [Mage Saint!] Achieved, Reward: Face the World Core once.}
Ignoring the changed inherent skills, Ash shifted his attention to the [Mage Saint!] reward.

"Isn't it a magical concept to face the core of the world once?"

There was a hint of surprise in Ash's eyes, but it was normal when he thought about it carefully. Although the concept of spells existed, most mages would not choose this concept if they had a choice.

Because this concept does not add much to their path, the mage takes the path of understanding the world and applying the rules. Spells are tools after all. No matter how many and how good the tools are, they are useless if there is no goal to use them.

Therefore, rather than facing the concept of "law" directly, it would be more helpful to let the mage face the core of the world once.

"Keep the Demigod Queen."

Ash postponed this reward, as his instinct told him that he would gain more from using it after he became a demigod.

'Now it's just a matter of achievement.'

Ash looked at the two achievements of [Writing Books and Establishing Words] and [Being Virtuous to All Beings]. He could vaguely feel that these two achievements had been completed in the last two or three months.

Linquan City, a large city of the former Principality of Bello, is located close to the Snow-Top Mountains. People rely on the mountains and the water for their livelihood. Due to its abundant resources, many adventurer teams make a living here, which also leads to a very active and prosperous scene in the city on weekdays.

However, the city now not only lacks the lively atmosphere of the past, but is instead very solemn, with everyone walking quickly, as if there were beasts chasing them from behind. This is not only because it is still winter, but the main reason is that the owner of this city has changed.

About a month ago, the Yinglong Army sent a large force here.

On the first day they arrived, they launched a bloody purge, arresting all those who met the sentencing criteria, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people.

For serious cases, they were dragged to the square and beheaded the next day, and a memorial was built for them.

At that time, many people even vomited and felt fear for the Dragon Army.

Using such bloody means, the Yinglong Army controlled every aspect of Linquan City in a short period of time.

After taking control of Linquan City, they began to build fortifications with great fanfare. This made the people in the city wonder: Who were the Yinglong Army building fortifications to defend against?

But they heard that the entire Principality of Bello had been conquered by the Yinglong Army, and all the nobles in the country had been purged, and there was no force that dared to resist the Yinglong Army.

Even if they wanted to guard against other countries, they shouldn't build fortifications here, because apart from the Snow Peak Mountains, there was no other country close to Linquan City.

Could it be that the Yinglong Army is defending against monsters in the Snow Peak Mountains?
That shouldn't be the case. The locals are well aware of what kind of monsters there are in the Snow Summit Mountains. If there are any monsters that deserve the Yinglong Army's serious vigilance, they would never dare to believe it.

Even the royal family of the Principality of Bello was able to suppress the monsters in the Snow Peak Mountains, not to mention the Yinglong Army that destroyed the Principality of Bello in just half a month.

However, the serious and vigilant attitude of the Yinglong Army also affected the adventurers who made a living here. They didn't know what changes had occurred in the Snow Summit Mountains, but they knew that the top leaders of the Yinglong Army were definitely not fools who would waste supplies on meaningless defenses.

So adventurers either stay at home during the winter or stay away from this dangerous place.

Deep in the Snow-Top Mountains, a large group of dragon beasts gathered around the red dragon beast. Only the white dragon beast was running in the snow above the mountainside, bringing food to feed the dragon beasts below.

As for the cries of the food, the dragon beasts turned a deaf ear to it and opened their mouths wide to tear at the flesh.

In a valley, there were thirty-nine dragons gathered there, including Martin, and they were all children of Tiamt.

Sitting on the highest stone, the four-armed red dragon Hypnos looked down at his brothers and sisters and said, "Have you completed the occupation of the Snowtop Mountains, Martin?"

White Dragon Martin nodded slightly: "It's done, big brother."

"Okay." Hypnos looked at a blue dragon with a scorpion tail, "Amos, how long can our food sustain our vassal army?"

"The current ones can last for half a month, brother." Amos hooked his scalp with his scorpion tail, "The next ten days will deliver them."

"That's enough." Hypnos looked at a petite green dragon standing on a tree, "Rosamund, how is the enemy situation going?"

"It's complicated, big brother." The green dragon Rosamund said, "They are roughly divided into three levels. There are three in the first level, and the threat they pose seems to be about the same as yours."

"There are about 300 of them in the second level. Their strength seems to be about the same as that of the elite dragon beasts, but they seem to have some special means. When there are 100 of them together, their threat is even stronger than that of the first level."

"The same is true for the third level. Individually, they are just like food, but when combined, they pose a greater threat than the first level."
