Chapter 704

Chapter 704 Memory Resurgence

Li Yichen got up, opened the door, and saw a woman in green standing in front of him. She wore a light veil hat that shielded the sunlight from the sky, and beside her was a special longsword.

“Hello, may I ask who you are?” He did not recognize this woman.

“I come from another region. Recently, I need to enter the Sunset Mountain Range and am looking for a guide,” the woman’s voice was very formal, with no emotional fluctuations.

“Why do you know my name and where I live if you’re looking for me?” Li Yichen was somewhat puzzled.

“Today is my first day here. I inquired about the situation and heard that your patrol team often enters the Sunset Mountain Range and should have a good understanding of it. It is also said that you are the captain of the patrol team and are at home today, so I came over,” she explained clearly.

To be honest, Li Yichen was very tired and didn’t want to move. He was just about to refuse the woman’s sudden request.

“If it’s about payment, I can offer it to you. As long as you can take me to the shrine within the Sunset Mountain Range,” she said after taking out five gold plates from her palm.

Five small pure gold plates, intricately carved with delicate sparrow flowers and dragon patterns, reflected beautiful colors under the sunlight, with a faint glow at the edges, quite tempting.

“This…”

Originally, Li Yichen wanted to refuse her, but she offered too much. In his years in the patrol team, he had saved less than four gold plates, while she offered five at once.

“Miss, please come in,” he then said, inviting the woman inside for further discussion.

—

Within the Sunset Mountain Range, in the Valley Spirit Shrine.

Lolan Hill slowly opened her eyes in the room and looked at her palm. The dark blue sand gathered to form a transparent seven-colored flower like a water curtain. Then, this flower dimmed and withered, turning into dark blue petals scattering in the air.

Unconsciously, she had already reached the fourth stage of the Necromancer Sequence. The young lady felt a sigh in her heart; cultivating the Necromancer Sequence here seemed to progress much faster. Perhaps that was why the Xiangyu Sect sent her over.

After successfully advancing, Lolan Hill felt a surge of excitement. She jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and went to the courtyard.

A faint blue light appeared in her pupils.

Glow and radiance, then her figure suddenly dissipated like mist, vanishing as if into thin air, only to reappear outside the courtyard wall.

This was the new ability she gained after advancing to the Necromancer Sequence 4. She could temporarily turn herself into a ghost, passing through various physical objects, while also acquiring other abilities.

Necromancer Sequence 4 · Wraith Night Travel

Abilities:

[Whimsical Wind] (Mythical Grade): Your form of existence is so free that you can arbitrarily simulate and switch between different forms of power modes.

[Wraith Transformation] (Perfect Grade): Transform yourself into a wraith form, while simultaneously enhancing the strength of your soul to resist abilities related to mental and illusionary powers.

[Silent Quiet] (Perfect Grade): Eliminate sounds and magical fluctuations within a radius of one kilometer, returning everything to silence.

Skills:

[Bane Blade Lv.7] (Rare): Deals significant damage to souls, capable of directly stiffening or killing entities of Sequence 1-3. It also has an interfering effect on entities of the same rank and higher ranks. (The skill level increased from Lv.3 to Lv.7 due to innate talent and the practice of professional abilities.)

[Control Wraiths Lv.7] (Rare): Souls cannot hide from you; you can easily find them, communicate with them, and even control wraiths of Sequence 1-3. (The skill level increased from Lv.3 to Lv.7 due to innate talent and the practice of professional abilities.)

It seems this advancement changed quite a lot. Lolan Hill inspected her information panel, where [Wraith Stab] had advanced to [Bane Blade], and [Soul Perception] had transformed into [Control Wraiths].

These were actually two distinct progression paths within the Xiangyu Sect’s Necromancer Sequence skills. The former was a capability along the path of nourishing and piercing spirits, while the latter was a capability along the path of controlling wraiths at night.

Most people found it difficult enough to choose one path to cultivate, considering the notorious difficulty of the sect’s secret manuals, although their effects were excellent.

Lolan Hill initially did not intend to learn everything, but out of curiosity, she let the system integrate them, eventually resulting in this cultivation method.

[Black Phoenix Secret Art] (Golden Grade, Legendary): Based on the Black Phoenix and various eerie abilities of the Nine Hells Ghosts, it records the advancement routes and cultivation methods from Necromancer Sequence 1 · Phantom Sight to Necromancer Sequence 5 · Illusionary Butterfly. This ancient text has special effects in nurturing souls, controlling wraiths, and causing decay and destruction.

The complexity of cultivation was such that, aside from Lolan Hill herself, no one else could learn it, because many of the conflicting aspects required Lolan Hill’s innate talent of the Changing Wind. If others were to attempt it, they would likely immediately go mad, their spirit and form dimming.

Looking at the words Black Phoenix Goshawk in the资料, Lolan Hill couldn’t help but speculate; another will of a phoenix? The Five Virtues Phoenix of old, though most had perished, still had their existence and forms recorded by the system.

It seems the Mechanical Parliament left quite a few contingencies back then. Even if the civilization of ancient humans declined and dissipated, these intangible existences still faithfully recorded events on Earth.

After advancing to the fourth stage of the Necromancer Sequence, Lolan Hill also roughly recalled her subsequent experiences.

At that time, Clancia led the Starlight Alliance and Rourna led the Frost Coalition in a great battle on the Western Continent, which drew her into it as well. Fortunately, after returning from the Holy Land, she gradually understood her origins, a product of the Primordial Heart plan, later seized by the Mechanical Parliament.

Following this, after the Mechanical Parliament, a human faction, encountered setbacks, they restarted the God’s Throne project and constructed the ‘Solar Crown’ and ‘Moon Crown’, leading the entire civilization into the next phase and进军 the entire galaxy.

In the aftermath of the disaster, the God’s Throne shattered, the crowns dispersed, and the survivors of the ancient humans returned to Earth. Then came a long era of wilderness until the elves emerged from the protection of the World Tree, ending the age of dragons and giants, and establishing the First Era.

Lolan Hill recalled the past, until finally, her memories stopped before the great battle at Mozwa.

At that time, countless banners fluttered, lances lined up like forests, stretching across mountains and fields, the cold light like the sea, advancing towards the towering fortress. Until the gray nautilus rammed through the city wall, rushing inside.

That war should have been a victory for us, Lolan Hill slowly opened her eyes, awakening from the memories of the past.

Unfortunately, the routes between the Eastern and Western Continents have been cut off, otherwise, we could have learned more about the specific results of that war.

But the young lady is not as anxious now as she used to be. After all, she just needed to focus on cultivation. Upon reaching the fifth stage of the Necromancer Sequence, she should be able to recall everything.

To be honest, she was also looking forward to it. She wondered what kind of nation Clancia would become after unifying the Seven Snow Countries, and how her friends were faring now.
