Meanwhile, in Riverbend Hamlet,
on the banks of the Silverwater River, the tranquil waters flowed gently, reflecting the moon's ethereal glow.
The river's surface rippled with a mesmerizing dance, mirroring the starry sky above and casting a serene ambiance over the hamlet.
Sir Elias Hawthorne stood on the riverbank, his weathered features illuminated by the soft moonlight.
Beside him, Oasis, still reeling from the revelations of his legacy, stood in silent contemplation.
The magical box and its contents lay between them, a silent testament to the mysteries that surrounded them.
The air was thick with anticipation as both Sir Elias and Oasis grappled with the weight of their thoughts.
Seven years' worth of unanswered questions swirled in their minds, mingling with the echoes of Oasis's father's words.
The letter's contents reverberated in the silence, each word carrying the weight of destiny and purpose.
As they stood in quiet reflection, the tranquility of the night was suddenly shattered by a surge of energy that rippled through the air.
The queen's aura, unleashed from the heart of Sylvaneth, reached even the quiet hamlet of Riverbend, its presence palpable in the night air.
Sir Elias's keen senses picked up on the subtle shift in the atmosphere, and he turned to Oasis with a knowing smile.
"Something good must have happened in the capital," he remarked, his voice tinged with anticipation. "Without a doubt, that is Queen Elara's magic."
Oasis, amazed by the power of the queen, felt a surge of determination coursing through him.
"I am going to be stronger than her, and stronger than everyone," he declared with unwavering resolve.
Turning to Sir Elias with a determined expression, Oasis made a request that echoed with the weight of his newfound determination.
"Please, Sir Elias, can you train me?" he asked, his voice filled with conviction.
Sir Elias's smile widened at Oasis's request, a spark of excitement dancing in his eyes.
"I was already planning to do just that," he replied, his tone brimming with enthusiasm.
It was as if a lion had spotted its prey, ready to embark on the thrill of the hunt.
With a steely resolve, Oasis affirmed his commitment to his own growth and development.
"I have to conquer myself before I conquer the realm and my problems," he declared, his words echoing with the weight of his determination.
"First things first," Sir Elias spoke with authority, his voice carrying a soothing resonance.
"Since your magic energy has stabilized, let's completely heal your injuries."
As Sir Elias began the incantation of his healing magic, known as "Sylvan Restoration," the air around them seemed to shimmer with a serene aura.
The healing energy reflected on the surface of the Silverwater River, casting a gentle glow as it enveloped Oasis in its soothing embrace.
Oasis felt a warm sensation wash over him as Sir Elias's magic worked its wonders.
The pain in his chest dissolved into nothingness, replaced by a sense of rejuvenation and vitality.
His wounds healed completely, leaving behind no trace of the injuries that had once plagued him.
With a deep breath, Oasis felt as though he were reborn, his body restored to its peak condition.
After the healing was complete, Sir Elias wasted no time delving into a comprehensive explanation of the various magic natures in the realm.
He began with the kingdom of Avaloria, describing it as the "Kingdom of the Eternal Sun," where powerful fire mages and sand manipulators harnessed the energy of the sun and sand.
"Verdantia," Sir Elias continued, his voice filled with reverence, "is a kingdom deeply connected to nature."
He explained how druids and elementalists in Verdantia harnessed the power of earth and plants to protect their homeland,
utilizing magic that resonated with the lush greenery and natural abundance of the kingdom.
As Sir Elias moved on to describe Frostgard, he spoke of a land shrouded in ice and snow, where its inhabitants were mainly skilled in ice magic and frost-based combat.
The capital city, he explained, was a marvel of icy architecture illuminated by shimmering auroras in the sky.
With each kingdom he described, Sir Elias provided detailed insights into the unique characteristics of their magic and the ways in which it manifested in the inhabitants.
He explained how some individuals were naturally attuned to certain types of magic, while others gravitated towards different forms based on their innate abilities and inclinations.
"Magic is as diverse as the kingdoms themselves," Sir Elias concluded, his voice filled with wisdom.
"Each form of magic is a reflection of the environment and culture of its respective kingdom, and those who wield it do so with a deep understanding of its nuances and complexities."
As Sir Elias spoke, he gestured towards the Silverwater River, a glint of determination shining in his eyes.
"In my prime, I was best in utilizing wind and water magic," he explained. "Allow me to demonstrate."
With a series of fluid movements and incantations, Sir Elias channeled his magic, drawing upon the elements of wind and water with a grace that spoke of years of practice and mastery.
The air around them began to stir, a gentle breeze sweeping through the clearing as the surface of the river rippled in response.
With a focused gaze, Sir Elias extended his hands towards the river, his magic weaving together in a seamless dance of power and control.
A whirlwind formed above the water, swirling with increasing intensity as it gathered moisture from the river below.
In a breathtaking display of skill, Sir Elias performed a high-level double casting, combining his wind and water magic in a dazzling display of elemental mastery.
The whirlwind twisted and expanded, shaping itself into intricate patterns that danced across the surface of the river with mesmerizing grace.
As Oasis watched in awe, Sir Elias's control over the elements was evident in every movement, his magic flowing with effortless precision.
The air crackled with energy as the whirlwind surged with power, a testament to Sir Elias's formidable skills as a mage.
With a final flourish, Sir Elias released his hold on the magic, allowing the whirlwind to dissipate with a soft sigh. The air grew still once more, the surface of the river returning to its calm, reflective state.
"That, young Oasis, is the beauty of wind and water magic," Sir Elias explained, his voice tinged with pride.
"It requires patience, focus, and a deep connection to the elements and a lot cultivation. With practice and dedication, you too can wield the magic of the elements with such mastery."

Chapter 587: The Lesson of the Still Courtyard.
In another Guest courtyard of the Woods Estate.Lukan Maser sat outside beneath a wide shade canopy woven from mana-silk threads that shimmered faintly whenever natural mana currents brushed against them.Before him rested a polished jade table set with refreshments — chilled spirit-fruit slices arranged on silver trays, crystal cups filled with condensed dew nectar,And a porcelain kettle releasing thin trails of fragrant herbal steam that curled lazily into the morning air.The courtyard itself was quiet, refined, and protected by subtle wind formations that kept the temperature perfectly balanced.White stone tiles beneath their feet were etched with faint runic lines — not active formations, but legacy engravings meant to harmonize ambient mana flow for cultivators.Standing before Lukan were two disciples from the Oblivion Orchid Sect.“Young master… why are we still waiting for him? We have already been here for a few hours, and yet he is nowhere to be seen,” one of the two disc

Just After Oasis helped NovaThe sun had begun its slow ascend and now vastly over the jagged horizon of Florentis City, but the heat within the Gilded Flagon Inn had nothing to do with the weather.The air was a thick, heady soup of cheap ale, roasting meat, and the electric tension of a thousand unresolved arguments.Every table was a battlefield of opinion.Men and women, clad in the dust-stained robes of traveling cultivators or the sturdy leathers of local mercenaries,leaned over chipped wooden tables, their faces flushed with drink and the lingering adrenaline of the Grand Sanctuary.“I’m telling you, it wasn’t just a refinement!” a burly man with a scarred chin slammed his mug down, sloshing foam onto the table.“I’ve seen Master Smiths in the Southern Capital sweat blood for a week just to temper a Spirit-grade blade.Oasis of Lunaris didn’t just ‘refine’ that saint-grade sword.He re-ordered it.

Nova Sparrow’s body began to rise on its own.At first it was subtle—barely a finger’s breadth above the floor—then steadily higher, until she hovered fully in the air, her form suspended at the center of the formation.Cyan light poured into her from every direction, threading through the runes Oasis had inscribed, each sigil acting like a living conduit.Her mana no longer moved chaotically; it circulated in perfect loops, guided, redirected, and stabilized by Oasis’s will as if he were manually steering the flow of her life force on her behalf.The runes glowed brighter.The circulation intensified.Gradually, the flow began to converge—no longer evenly distributed, but increasingly focused toward the rune etched upon her forehead.!!!Oasis’s eyes widened.“I’ve got you,” he muttered sharply.“Bind.”He clasped both hands together.The effect was immediate.Nova’s body convulsed violently in midair.Her back arched, her fingers clawed, and a piercing scream tore from her throat, e

Just a few hours later—The Grand Sanctuary of Greatness had long since emptied.Its towering halls, once filled with thunder, lightning, and the weight of countless wills, now stood silent, bearing only the scars left behind by heaven-defying displays.Yet Florentis City itself was anything but quiet.The streets overflowed.Inns that were usually modestly busy now spilled laughter and voices into the roads.Merchant districts were crowded beyond measure, stalls surrounded by people reenacting battles with animated gestures,Retelling moments again and again as if repetition might finally allow them to comprehend what they had witnessed.Cultivators argued heatedly over whose perception was correct.Common folk listened wide-eyed, hanging onto every word.Bets were settled loudly—some winners already spending their newfound coin with reckless joy, others sitting silently with hollow stares, still unable to accept what they had lost.From dawn’s first light, Florentis City buzzed like

“Selfless Authority,” Oasis began, his voice calm yet carrying effortlessly across the Grand Sanctuary as his gaze swept over the vast sea of faces where cultivators sat shoulder to shoulder.“Most of you spend your lives chasing power so that you may never have to bow again.You seek authority to protect your interests, your families, and your pride.There is no shame in that.It is the law of the world.”He paused.The silence deepened—not the uneasy kind, but the kind that presses against the chest, forcing one to listen.“But true authority is not a shield for the self.It is a burden accepted for the sake of the path.At least at first.For most people, we are selfish by nature. That is simply how we begin.But once one starts to understand the concept of selflessness, that burden no longer feels foreign—it becomes an extension of our very being.”His voice remained steady, neither loud nor soft, yet every word landed clearly.“When I stood beneath the lightning earlier, I did no
