SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Kent, do you know about the immortal spirit abode?" Porus, who stood at the edge of the pink pond, questioned Kent with a serious look.

"No master, is it a place?" Kent asked while stabilizing himself in the pond water. The pure aura from the lake water continued to rush inside his elder magus chakra.

"It's not a place. It is an event. In the desolate desert of the north-west, a war god temple is situated in the center. The war god temple is always submerged in the desert sand and only surfaces once per lunar cycle.

At that time, ethereal beast spirits gather in the sky to pray for the war god. This gathering is called the immortal spirit abode. Almost every Grand Master Magus on the blue planet will reach this war god temple at the time of gathering. Ask me why..." Porus turned his gaze toward Kent with a questioning look.

"Why, master?" Kent spoke instantly as his curiosity peaked.

"Do you know what stage comes after the Grand Master Magus stage?" Porus asked again.

"Mortal Sovereign Stage."

"Yes, mortal sovereign stage. That damn mortal sovereign stage is the barrier placed over every person on the blue planet. Including me, almost everyone on this blue planet will be stuck in this Grand Master Magus stage because of that barrier." Porus uttered angrily as he stared at the rocky walls of the cave.

"Master, what are you saying?" Kent, who doesn't know about any of these details, asked with a surprised face.

"Kent, to become a mortal sovereign Magus, all your aura channels must turn into mana channels, and you need to open your soul space. It is really a painful and ardent process. But there are only two ways to cross the barrier and reach the mortal sovereign stage.

One is through absorbing mother mana veins, and the other is the immortal spirit abode. Only the top six sects on the blue planet have mother mana veins in their sect grounds. But even then, they can only produce one mortal sovereign magus for each lunar cycle.

So, the only other option left is the immortal spirit abode. Where you have a chance to receive the inheritance of a beast spirit and can instantly become mortal sovereign Magus." Porus replied while thinking about something so deeply.

Kent, who stayed in a small town without knowing any of these details, felt shocked by the harsh conditions of becoming a mortal sovereign.

"Master, what about you? Did you ever participate in the immortal spirit gathering?" Kent asked curiously while staring at the sad face of Porus.

"There is a condition for participating in the immortal spirit gathering. You must be a Grand Master Magus under 30 lunar cycles of age. I became a grand master magus at the age of 28 lunar cycles. Even though I participated twice, I couldn't achieve anything." Porus replied in a dispirited tone as he stood in a daze.

Even though Kent felt it was rude to ask for more details, he didn't hold back. "Master, why did you fail? Is it hard to get the beast spirit inheritance?" Kent asked while closely observing Porus.

"Kent, the immortal spirit gathering is not a praying ground for the participants. It is a war between sects. The grand master mages of one sect will attack others ruthlessly. Usually, the top four sects of the main land have a greater number of grandmaster mages, and they will eliminate others from gathering places to receive more inheritances.

People didn't even hesitate to kill others to show off their skills and attract the beast spirit." Porus replied, remembering the events of the immortal spirit gathering.

Kent became silent as he understood the gravity of the situation. Soon, he fell into deep thought as he wondered about his chance of receiving an inheritance.

Porus came from a daze and stared at Kent, who is staring at the pond water in stupor. Porus smiled, understanding Kent's thoughts.

"Kent, stop thinking. You are still very young and have many chances to get an inheritance. But I want you to understand your goal and focus more on your strength than cultivation. Anyone can become a grandmaster mage with resources. Only the powerful one can cross this barrier and gain a long-life span." Porus replied while tossing a pink fruit from the blessing tree to Kent.

"Thank you, master. I understood what I needed to focus on." Kent replied in a sincere tone before munching on the fruit.

"Okey, let's move to your training schedule." Porus sat near the pond with a deep sigh.

"Kent, I will only train you until the immortal spirit abode, which is just one lunar cycle away. I will help you reach the peak of the Grand Master Magus stage by that time. But your main focus should be on learning powerful arrow spells and mastering the bow. Understood?" Porus gave a pause as he waited for Kent's nod.

The expression on Kent's face became serious as he nodded his head.

"In the next three months, I will help you master the 99 arrows of arcane tome and the 21 killer arrows of arcane tome in the in the second part. But I didn't have the luxury of learning 13 divine Asthra's of Arcane Tome, which are worth almost the entire Eternal Sun sect."

"So, I will try to find another master who may take an interest in you and teach you those divine Asthra's." Porus continued while Kent listened to each and every word of Porus with the utmost attention.

"Except for the 13 divine Asthra's, all the arcane tome arrow spells were only useful in individual combat. Once you finish the Arcane tome, I will start teaching you all the inheritance arrows I own." Porus explained in a serious tone while rubbing the back of his Fire Antelope, which sat beside him.

"Master, what do you mean by inheritance arrows?" Kent questioned with a curious look, interrupting Porus, who continued to speak.

Porus sighed deeply as he stretched his hand to show what an inheritance arrow is.
