Chapter 302: Trying to Be a Sparrow

Chapter 302: Trying to Be a Sparrow

In Su Nan's memory, the rumors circulating among the top-tier wizards at that time were that a wizard had obtained information about the Spider Queen's injury and gathered a group of people to find her hiding place. Then, they teamed up to ambush her.

Back then, he was just an ordinary wizard.

Unlike now, when he is the leader of a wizard faction.

With different levels and statuses come different levels of access to intelligence, leading to varying perspectives on the same event.

For instance, Su Nan now believes that the battle between the Spider Queen and the Crescent Moon Goddess wasn't as straightforward as it seemed on the surface.

The pursuit and escape between the two divine beings had lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the Spider Queen had never been able to catch the Crescent Moon Goddess. So, how did she suddenly succeed?

Moreover, after being injured, the Spider Queen would naturally seek a hidden and secure place to hide. With her capabilities, even a seer deity would likely struggle to locate her. So, how did the wizards manage to find her? Su Nan felt that there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes.

He was more inclined to believe that a group of wizards had secretly intervened, causing the Crescent Moon Goddess to be captured by the Spider Queen. Their goal was to orchestrate a fierce battle between the two divine beings and benefit from the chaos.

That was why they could show up right after the Spider Queen was injured.

Of course, orchestrating a deity's actions wasn't an easy task.

The wizards' ambush on the Spider Queen did not go as planned. Not only did they fail, but they were also routed by the Spider Queen, suffering heavy casualties. It was a vivid demonstration of the saying, "You reap what you sow."

However, the Spider Queen didn't fare much better.

Although there were no reports of her demise afterward, she remained extremely low-key for tens of thousands of years, and Su Nan rarely heard of her activities.

Given the Spider Queen's love for slaughter and chaos, her low profile already spoke volumes.

In that ambush, the Spider Queen had repelled her enemies, but she most likely suffered even more severe injuries, forcing her to remain in hiding for tens of thousands of years.

"If that's the case, perhaps I can try to be a sparrow and wait for my chance."

Su Nan's eyes flickered slightly.

Thanks to his memory, he knew the Spider Queen's hiding place and the exact time of the wizards' ambush.

The latter might have changed a bit, but it shouldn't be too significant. He could arrive at the ambush site early and lie in wait for the battle to commence before taking action.

Although coveting a deity's power was extremely risky, the potential rewards were tantalizing.

The divine body, blood, divinity, and power—each was an incredibly precious treasure!

Not to mention the divine essence, which was the embodiment of the law, an even more advanced treasure than law crystals and law fruits!

Even True Spirit Sorcerers yearned for it.

If he could obtain a divine essence, it would greatly aid Su Nan in his understanding of the law.

With the opportunity to acquire a divine essence, Su Nan felt it was worth taking the risk.

"I'll hide and observe the situation. If it's not feasible, I'll give up, but if there's a chance, I'll take action!"

Su Nan quickly made up his mind.

He looked up at Li Ze and instructed, "Keep an eye on the Spider Queen's movements, and inform me immediately if there's any news."

After a pause, he added, "Monitor the Celestial Tower's activities, especially those involving True Spirit Sorcerers. Inform me of any intelligence you gather."

Li Ze was a bit puzzled but didn't ask further, nodding in agreement.

After leaving the study, Su Nan exited the Sorcerer Tower and entered Zone 2.

He had been busy comprehending the law, so he hadn't paid much attention to the Hidden Dragon, only vaguely aware of its whereabouts through the connection between master and familiar.

From a distance, Su Nan saw the Hidden Dragon basking in the sun on the plain.

Around it, hundreds of giant dragons were either lying down or standing up, surrounding the Hidden Dragon like stars surrounding the moon.

Soon after the Sorcerer Civil War broke out, the Star Alliance's high-level proto-dragon breeding program entered a period of rapid development, and the number of giant dragons increased rapidly.

Currently, the Star Alliance had over 600 giant dragons.

Among them, more than 20 giant dragons had reached the Second-Rank Sorcerer level.

It could be said that the Star Alliance now had a truly formidable giant dragon legion.

The Star Alliance was currently establishing a new ecological garden as a breeding ground for proto-dragons, expanding their high-level proto-dragon breeding program.

Initial estimates suggested that within three to four hundred years, the Star Alliance's giant dragon legion would surpass a thousand, and the first Third-Rank giant dragon would be born.

Following the Golem Legion, the Sigil Knight Order, and the Witch Hunter Corps, the Star Alliance's fourth main legion was taking shape.

"Roar!"

The Hidden Dragon quickly sensed Su Nan's arrival, opening its eyes and looking up. Upon seeing Su Nan, it let out an excited roar.

It immediately dove and vanished from its original location, reappearing beside Su Nan, its massive head affectionately rubbing against Su Nan's arm.

Su Nan smiled and patted the Hidden Dragon's head.

Due to his focus on cultivation, Su Nan hadn't had much time to work on bloodline fusion with the Hidden Dragon in the past few hundred years.

However, thanks to the dragon's innate traits, its power had continued to grow, and with the accumulation of time, it had forcefully broken through to the Second-Rank level.

"Li Ze told me that you can now hold your own against Second-Rank Liquidized Golem Puppets," Su Nan said.

Hearing this, the Hidden Dragon let out a low, mournful roar, seemingly dejected.

It knew that its master had become incredibly powerful, far surpassing it.

Its role as a familiar was now even less significant than that of a Supreme Golem, which made it feel disheartened.

Familiars and their masters could sense each other's emotions, and Su Nan immediately understood the Hidden Dragon's feelings. He patted its head comfortingly.

"It's my fault for neglecting you while focusing on cultivation."

"Don't worry. I'll make time to help you strengthen your bloodline and break through to the Third-Rank level as soon as possible."

After all, the Hidden Dragon was Su Nan's first and only familiar, and they had been together for over two thousand years.

Even though he didn't really need a familiar anymore, Su Nan still had deep feelings for the Hidden Dragon.

After the Starlight Continent's planar seal was lifted, with the help of the Magic Cube, Su Nan's strength had far surpassed the Hidden Dragon's growth rate.

The Hidden Dragon could no longer keep up with his power growth.

Especially after advancing to the True Spirit Sorcerer level, the familiar's assistance became almost negligible.

Even so, Su Nan was still willing to invest time in cultivating the Hidden Dragon.

Seeing that the Hidden Dragon was still dejected, he smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. There are many powerful dragons in the Multiverse, like those in the Dragon Realm, whose strength rivals that of True Spirit Sorcerers. If you continue to grow, you'll surely be able to stand alongside them in the future."

Hearing these words, the Hidden Dragon finally felt a slight boost in morale.

Su Nan wasn't entirely exaggerating.

The Dragon race inherently possessed immense potential, and with Su Nan and the Star Alliance's support, the Hidden Dragon's growth rate far surpassed that of ordinary dragons. Its future achievements were limitless.

However, this limitless potential was relative to ordinary dragons.

Unless the Hidden Dragon encountered some extraordinary opportunity, it was highly unlikely that it could ever catch up to Su Nan's pace.

After three days of rest, Su Nan resumed his cultivation.

Before advancing to the True Spirit Sorcerer realm, it was already challenging to further comprehend and control the Gravity Law. Therefore, Su Nan shifted his focus to the Thunder Law.

Unlike the Gravity Law, the Elemental Laws, due to the numerous sorcerers who had comprehended them throughout history, had been extensively studied and researched. As a result, various methods had been developed to expedite the comprehension process.

Among these methods, the simplest and most straightforward, yet also one of the most effective, was to draw upon the elements and integrate them into oneself.

For the Thunder Law, one could enter the depths of the Thunder Element Space, draw upon the thunder to strike oneself, and immerse oneself in the experience of the thunder's might, thereby enhancing one's comprehension of the Thunder Law.

However, the drawback of this method was the high risk of self-inflicted injury, making it crucial to take preventive measures beforehand.

The most important aspect was to enhance one's adaptability to the power of thunder.

The quickest way to achieve this was through element transformation, creating a body composed of thunder elements.

After spending half a month in the laboratory, Su Nan completed the element transformation process.

With his current power level, the element transformation barely provided any noticeable strength enhancement, but it significantly increased his adaptability to the power of thunder.

Additionally, Su Nan also crafted a large quantity of specialized healing potions to counteract the damage caused by the power of thunder.

Ideally, to minimize the damage from the power of thunder, it was best to consume element resistance potions.

However, to fully comprehend the Thunder Law, it was essential to endure the full force of thunder, and consuming element resistance potions would hinder this process.

Therefore, Su Nan had no choice but to enhance his adaptability to the power of thunder and find ways to swiftly recover from injuries.

After making all the necessary preparations, Su Nan finally entered the Thunder Element Plane.

Boom!

Brilliant lightning tore through the sky, resembling a light dragon dancing amidst the clouds. Even from a great distance, the overwhelming aura was palpable.

Su Nan hovered in the clouds, concentrating on the surrounding environment.

The Thunder Element Plane was composed of countless Thunder Element Spaces, and each time one entered, the destination was random and unpredictable.

The Thunder Element Space that Su Nan entered this time was unique; there was no land, ocean, or sky, no plants or sand, only an infinite expanse of thunderclouds.

Looking up, the sky was shrouded in mist, with lightning flashing within. In the midst of the clouds, a purple light flickered, and within the mist, a dragon seemed to soar.

Every inch of this place was saturated with dense thunder element energy.

"I'm quite lucky," Su Nan thought to himself.

This was the Thunder Element Space with the highest element density he had encountered so far.

It was an ideal place to comprehend the Thunder Law.

After steadying himself, Su Nan flew towards the depths of the element space.

Along the way, numerous Elemental Spirits and Elemental Golems leaped from the clouds, charging towards Su Nan with murderous intent, only to be swiftly crushed by him.

Ordinary Elemental Spirits and Golems posed no threat to a Tier 3 Sorcerer like Su Nan, who had already gained initial control over the power of the law.

Only the Elemental Golem Elders could cause him some trouble.

As he ventured deeper, Su Nan estimated that he had reached the core area of the element space, and he finally stopped.

Going any further, he might encounter an Elemental Overlord.

Although he had mastered the Gravity Law, he could still escape if he encountered an Elemental Overlord. However, since he was here to cultivate, he didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for himself.

Comprehending the law at the edge of the core area was sufficient.

Su Nan then retrieved over a hundred Sorcerer-level puppets from the Magic Cube and positioned them around him as guards.

The upcoming cultivation process would likely attract many Elemental Golems and even Elemental Golem Elders, and these uninvited guests would be dealt with by the puppets.

For this operation, Su Nan had specifically prepared two Supreme Golems, the only two in the entire Star Alliance.

After making all the necessary arrangements, Su Nan took out the Thunder Attractor Wood, removed the Concealment Array from it, and held it in his hand.

As the name suggested, the Thunder Attractor Wood attracted thunder.

Almost as soon as Su Nan removed the Concealment Array, an overwhelming aura locked onto the Thunder Attractor Wood in his hand.

In the next instant, a brilliant and robust bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Su Nan and the Thunder Attractor Wood in his hand with a resounding boom.

The Thunder Attractor Wood was immune to thunder damage and remained unscathed, but Su Nan's body trembled slightly, and dense arcs of electricity crawled across his body like tiny snakes, absorbing the full force of the lightning strike!

And this was just the beginning.

As if a switch had been flipped, after the first lightning strike, more lightning bolts emerged from the clouds, striking Su Nan relentlessly.

In an instant, Su Nan was engulfed by dense lightning, transforming into a blinding ball of light.

Within the ball of light, Su Nan furrowed his brows, enduring the lightning attacks while simultaneously absorbing the power of the Thunder Law, officially beginning his cultivation.

Boom! The continuous thunderclaps dyed the surrounding clouds a dazzling dark blue!

The ferocious and pulsating thunderclaps lasted for an entire day, after which a figure suddenly broke through the clouds and flew out several kilometers, escaping the thunderous onslaught.

Suspended in the clouds, Su Nan exhaled and smiled bitterly.

The power of thunder in the core area was incredibly formidable, and almost every strike contained a hint of the power of the law. Even he found it difficult to withstand such attacks.

Moreover, this relentless bombardment had lasted an entire day!

At that moment, Su Nan's body was smoking, and scorch marks were visible on his disheveled appearance.

"If my body hadn't undergone thunder element transformation, I probably wouldn't have lasted half a day," Su Nan sighed, followed by a glimmer of joy.

The process had been uncomfortable, but the results were excellent.

In just one day, his comprehension of the Thunder Law had significantly improved, indicating the effectiveness of this method.

"At this rate, I estimate that it will take two to three decades to successfully comprehend the Thunder Law. Afterward, I can synthesize the power of the law to enhance my comprehension further," Su Nan thought to himself.

Snapping out of his reverie, Su Nan took out a healing potion and consumed it to recover from his injuries.

Once his wounds were mostly healed, he retrieved the Thunder Attractor Wood and continued to draw upon the thunder.

Boom! The dull rumble of thunder echoed endlessly.
