"Fire, water, earth..." The elder of the Fox tribe said as he carefully sensed the secrets of the seven-colored light, his face becoming more and more shocked. He couldn't believe that the seven-colored light actually contained five different kinds of magic.

  On the continent of Tairon, many races believe that half-orcs are the product of orcs and humans living together, but half-orcs themselves have never acknowledged this claim.

  For thousands of years, they have insisted that the history of the half-beast people is as long as that of the beastmen and humans, or even longer. The evidence lies in the classics passed down from generation to generation within the tribe. Some of these classics record stories that date back to the era of the great war between gods and demons, which is even more ancient than many human and beastman classics.

  In the legend of the half-beast, in ancient times it was a barbarous world. The area of the Tairon continent was more than ten times larger than it is now. At that time, they had a vast empire and vast territory, humans and beastmen were just some uncivilized races. However, after the war between gods and demons, everything changed.

  The land cracked and sank, forming countless islands, and the area of the Tairon continent was reduced to a small piece. The Orc Empire also sank to the bottom of the sea.

  With the sudden appearance of the Papal States, several high-ranking saints emerged among humans, leading a large human army to defeat the remaining elite of the half-beastmen and occupy their territory. From then on, the half-beastmen lived a life without a home, forced into slavery.

  However, although the half-beasts suffered greatly, there were still many tribes that carried classics and lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests for generations. Among them was the tribe where the elder of the Fox Tribe was located.

  Although he had only cultivated to the realm of a senior great magician, the elder of the Fox tribe was familiar with many ancient magic arrays according to the records of the clan's classics. After carefully sensing the seven-colored light and the magical fluctuations within the stone stele, he became more and more certain of his idea. This was absolutely two ancient magic arrays.

  "My lord, I have sent people to contact the nearby Minotaurs and Medusas and other half-beast tribes. Otherwise, let's gather everyone together and think of a way to break through these two ancient magic arrays."

  For the time being, unable to find a way to crack it, the elder of the Fox tribe decided to wait for two more days. Maybe after the other tribes arrive, there will be a better way to crack it. Besides, no one knows what unexpected situation will arise after breaking the magic array, and when the powerful Minotaur warrior and the sharp-attacking Medusa arrive, it will also be safer.

  "It's okay, more people means safer!"

  To deal with the unknown monsters in the cave, of course, the more people the better. Yang Ling didn't mind waiting for two more days. Besides, he couldn't figure out the secrets of the stone tablet and the seven-colored light for the time being. These two days just happened to be enough to study carefully.

  After circling around Shilin several times, he still couldn't see any secrets, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't find a similar witch array on the square pyramid of Wutu.

  The patterns on the stone tablets are intricate and mysterious. Sometimes they seem like a special talisman, sometimes like a jumping tadpole script. Among the forty-seven large and small stone tablets, not a single one has the same pattern.

  Could it be just an illusion on my part, and this isn't some sort of witchcraft formation? But rather what's known as an ancient magic formation?

  After a day passed, not only could the secret of the stone monument not be found, but there was nothing unusual in the cave either. Yang Ling let out a sigh of relief at the same time and couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. After having a full meal, he simply lay down under the stone monument like a half-beast man and rested on the spot.

  As the night grew darker, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the starry expanse was breathtaking. Watching the twinkling stars, he couldn't help but think of his childhood when he would move a bamboo chair to the front door, lie down, and count the stars with joy. Unfortunately, after carefully observing for half a day, he still couldn't find the familiar Big Dipper, at this moment. Only then did he deeply realize that he had come to a completely different world.

  Gods and demons at war, Vatican, ancient witches...

  After touching the tower-shaped mark on his brow, Yang Ling had a series of thoughts. He always felt that there was an unknown connection between the mysterious Witch's Tower and the so-called ancient witches of this world.

  As long as you understand the secrets of the war between gods and demons thousands of years ago and the sudden appearance of the Vatican, find out the secrets of the ancient wizards, the ancient summoners who flashed by later, and the sudden disappearance of the tree herders, perhaps a way back to Earth can be found!

  Great Sword Master, Sword Saint, Holy Stage... After cultivating to the Holy Stage, what kind of realm will be cultivated next?

  In this world where the strong prey on the weak, strength is everything. Even a Sword Saint-level Heaven's Chosen assassin can easily be killed, and Yang Ling dare not imagine how terrifying a Sacred-tier would be. Legend has it that they are existences that can instantly kill even 9th-stage magical beasts!

  Under the fanciful thoughts, Yang Ling quietly lay on the ground, suddenly, unintentionally saw a faint silver light emanating from the stone tablet beside him. Curious, he got up to take a look, only to see the patterns on the stone tablet flashing on and off, even slowly moving, as if a group of jumping tadpoles.

  One, two...

  After circling around, he found that all the stone tablets were flashing non-stop. The brightness was very weak, so weak that it was almost invisible, and the half-orcs patrolling around didn't notice anything unusual. If not for his keen senses and sharp vision, he might not have noticed it himself.

  After a careful observation, Yang Ling found that the frequency of the stone tablet and the twinkling stars in the sky was almost the same, as if they were absorbing the silver light emitted by the stars.

  After a day of hard work, the half-beast people gradually fell into a deep sleep. The cold earth and even the snowflakes fluttering about did not seem to bother them in the least, as they slept more soundly one than another, truly worthy of being called robust half-beasts!

  Slowly, not to mention the decreasing number of patrolling half-beasts and the increasing intervals between patrols, no one noticed Yang Ling walking back and forth in the stone forest. Even less noticeable was that the stele was getting brighter and brighter, emitting a faint silver glow in the darkness.

  Flowing floral patterns, jumping tadpoles...

  ******

  After observing for half a day, Yang Ling's heart moved, and he felt that the patterns on the stone tablet slowly combined into mysterious symbols. After connecting them together, it seemed like a unique incantation.

  Out of curiosity, he immediately sat down cross-legged and carefully observed the changes in the stone stele's patterns. Imitating the jumping tadpoles, he pinched out one by one mysterious hand seals, his movements getting faster and more complex. If the half-beast were to wake up, it would find that Yang Ling's body was emitting a faint, elusive silver glow, as if the stone stele was absorbing the vast starlight.

  Feeling the vast starlight penetrating his body, the earth's aura within him suddenly surged. Yang Lin was overjoyed, realizing that he had unintentionally grasped the secret of the Stone Forest. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be a massive array, a complex and mysterious large-scale spirit gathering array.

  Forty-nine stone monuments. Hidden in them were forty-nine different sets of talismans, forming a complete Spirit Gathering Array. After more than two hours, Yang Ling finally memorized the complex and mysterious forty-nine sets of talismans fluently.

  The mysterious incantation from head to toe has a total of 980 hand seals, and each seal has 81 variations. If one hasn't cultivated to the later stage of spiritual witchcraft, it's likely that even spending two days wouldn't be enough to completely memorize them.

  Absorbing the energy of the starry sky, life and death are endless... From now on, let's call this incantation learned from the stone tablet "Stellar Thorn Incantation"!

  Absorbed a large amount of starlight energy. After the surge of magical power, Yang Ling nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, he finally confirmed that in ancient times, there must have been a group of powerful wizards living on this unfamiliar continent. As long as he could uncover their secrets, perhaps he could understand why he had inexplicably come to this world and find a way back to Earth.

  When the formation of Weisen Castle is activated, the Monster Crystals also emit a seven-colored glow. Is it possible that many high-ranking monster crystals are buried near the entrance? Under the stimulation of the Shilin Gathering Spirit Array, another gathering spirit array was formed, emitting a long-lasting seven-colored glow?

  Under suspicion, Yang Ling carefully sensed the connection between the Stone Forest Array and the Seven-Colored Light at the cave entrance. As expected, after absorbing the vast starlight energy, the Stone Forest Array converted the starlight energy into pure witch power, which was then continuously poured into the seven-colored light at the cave entrance.

  It's scary if you take a closer look!

  When Yang Ling studied the colorful glow of the cave entrance with his external spiritual power, he didn't find any magical beast cores. However, he found countless crystal stones underground. Red dark fire crystals, white ice crystals, blue agate crystals... Various crystals were densely packed together, too many to count!

  Is there a huge natural seven-color mine under the ground?

  After the shock, Yang Ling was excited. The information in the square monument is all-encompassing, involving all aspects of cultivating witchcraft, among which there are many introductions to crystal mines and crystal stones.

  In general, natural mineral veins cannot simultaneously have crystals with conflicting attributes. For example, a vein with Dark Fire Crystals will not have Ice Crystals that conflict with it in attributes. However, the Seven-Colored Mineral Vein is an exception, as it naturally contains a chaotic energy that gives birth to crystals with conflicting attributes.

  As long as there are a large number of crystal stones, not only can the speed of cultivation be accelerated, but also the Ling array and Mi Zhen array can be set up to strengthen the defense of Weisen Town. After taking a few deep breaths, Yang Ling secretly planned his next move.

  The demihumans are diverse, with the fox tribe that produces many magicians, the Minotaur who is said to be the strongest heavy infantry on the continent, and the Medusa who is known as the King of Knives. Under the attack of humans and beastmen, the demihumans were scattered and divided into different factions, unable to gather together to form a powerful force.

  After obtaining a large amount of sulfur, relying on the unparalleled power of the black melon, it is not entirely impossible for the orcs to establish a vast orc empire. If they also acquire a large number of top-grade crystals, they will be even more unstoppable and pose a threat to Weissen Town. In any case, Yang Ling does not want an uncontrollable force to appear near his own territory.

  According to the elder of the Fox tribe, a large number of half-beast warriors and magicians will arrive tomorrow. They plan to cover up the underground seven-colored mineral vein. The best way is to divert their attention. Break through the entrance of the cave first and let them deal with the monsters inside the mountain cave.

  The monsters in the cave are not to be underestimated, and even if they win, the numerous half-orcs will likely pay a heavy price. If they can take advantage of their heavy losses and recruit them into their own camp, firmly grasping the half-orcs of the Radak Mountains in their hands, it would be even more wonderful!

  Looking at the sky, Yang Ling understood that there were only a few short hours before dawn. Time was not to be delayed, so after making up his mind, he immediately called out Brasca and his subordinates, summoned the withered wood warriors and the unicorn, and sat down cross-legged under their guard.

  Without a massive surge of magical power, even the largest underground mineral veins would struggle to penetrate the thick layers of earth and emit substantial seven-colored light. If one were to absorb a large amount of magical energy emitted by the Stone Forest Array and cut off the energy supply to the underground mineral veins, perhaps they could indirectly break through the seven-colored light blocking the entrance.
