Chapter 38

"I'm not going."
Lei Luo was too lazy to move.
Thus, he took a book from the library and went to the roof. He lay down on the thick snow and began to read.
Wei followed him.
She found that there were no footprints on the roof. Only the place where Lei Luo lay had caved in.
On the other hand, when she landed on the roof, she immediately left a footprint.
Although she was already a second-level elemental mage and could use flying magic, she had not reached the level where she could step on the snow without leaving a footprint.
Wei sat directly in Lei Luo's arms and asked curiously, "Senior, how did you do it?"
"What?"
Lei Luo skillfully hugged her with both arms and lazily read his book.
"Footprints. Why are there no footprints when you came up?" Wei said.
"Practice more flying magic, you will be able to do it in the future."
Lei Luo smiled.
As long as he wanted, even if he lay on the snow, there wouldn't be any footprints.
…
The Ace Mountains.
This was the headquarters of the Sacred Court.
Six years ago, the pseudo-ultimate mage, the Holy Lord, had been severely injured by the invincible pseudo-ultimate mage in the Faroe Kingdom. He became a cripple and lasted for more than half a year, but in the end, he still pa.s.sed away.
Since then, the Sacred Court had gathered its forces.
The vicinity of the headquarters was almost completely sealed off. Most of the believers who were scattered all over the place had retreated. Only a few were still in the southern region, but they rarely moved outside.
Today, the peace in the headquarters of the Sacred Court was broken.
A mysterious and powerful mage had barged in and defeated many of the elders of the Sacred Court and the new Sacred Lord.
The new Sacred Lord Usby looked at the black-robed mage in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Do you recognize this?"
The black-robed mage took out a strange token with a golden cloud symbol on it.
"Golden Cloud Token?"
When the Sacred Lord of the Sacred Court and the other elders of the Sacred Court saw this token, their expressions changed drastically.
The Golden Cloud Token contained unimaginable top-tier magic. The Sacred Court was built on the foundation of the Golden Cloud Token.
There was a secret in the Sacred Court that only the elders and above were qualified to know. The first generation of the Sacred Court was not from the middle-earth but had migrated from other places outside.
"You, you are from the Golden Cloud Sacred Court?"
The Sacred Lord of the Sacred Court, Usby, asked in a trembling voice.
"That's right, I'm from the
"The Sacred Court hasn't contacted the Golden Cloud Sacred Court for hundreds of years. May I know why you're here?" Usby asked in a deep voice.
He didn't think that this person was friendly.
The reason why the Sacred Court had cut off contact with the Golden Cloud Sacred Court was to get rid of the control of the Chief Church.
"I am a Golden Cloud Emissary. On the orders of the Sacred Lord, I am here to take over the Sacred Court and make it return to the Golden Cloud Sacred Court."
The expressions of Usby and the others changed drastically. After hundreds of years, the Golden Cloud Sacred Court still did not intend to let the Sacred Court go.
"I thought that no matter how weak your Sacred Court is, there should still be one or two pseudo-ultimate mages. I did not expect that there would not be one. These few high-level elemental mages are really too weak."
The black-robed mage shook his head, his tone full of contempt.
Usby and the others had ugly expressions.
"Now, you have two choices. One is to submit to me, and the other is to die. You choose," the black-robed mage said indifferently.
After a long while, Usby and the others were unable to resist and had to let the black-robed mage take over the Sacred Court.
"Before I came to middle-earth, I checked the information of your Sacred Court. It's one of the five great transcending powers in middle-earth. Why is it so weak now?"
The black-robed mage sat on the main seat, while Usby and the elders could only stand below.
Usby smiled bitterly and told them everything that had happened in the past few decades.
"Invincible pseudo-ultimate mage?"
The black-robed mage revealed a cold smile. "There's no such thing as invincible pseudo-ultimate mages in this world. If you don't become a real ultimate mage, you're just an ant that can be squashed at any time."
"Sir is an ultimate mage?" Usby asked.
"I'm not an ultimate mage, but I'm not far from it. If you follow me, you might have a chance to become a powerful ultimate mage in the future," the black-robed mage said calmly.
If it was so easy to achieve what an ultimate mage wanted, he would not have gone through so much trouble to cross the Endless Sea of Death and come to this prosperous middle-earth.
When Usby and the others heard that the black-robed mage was not an ultimate mage, they were immediately disappointed.
If there was an ultimate mage in charge, the Sacred Court would definitely dominate the entire middle-earth.
Even if they were to become a little elder, they would still have great benefits.
The black-robed mage saw through Usby and the others' thoughts. He smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that I am lying to you?"
As he spoke, he took out a strange crystal ball from his chest.
In the next moment, the crystal ball emitted a strange black light that enveloped the surroundings. It gathered and did not disperse, finally forming a strange black shadow. An indescribable evil aura was emitted, it caused the many advanced elemental mages present to feel fear in their hearts.
"What, what is this thing?"
The faces of Usby and the others turned pale.
"Have you heard of the Immortal Clan?"
The black-robed mage looked at the black figure condensed on the crystal ball. His eyes turned evil as he laughed strangely.
