His Faith Points dropped from a five-digit figure to a four-digit figure. At the same moment, a beam of golden light had pierced through the air and entered Norton’s body. Immediately, Norton could sense the magic formation which was near collapse becoming stabilized. He was stunned at first, and then he came overjoyed. At such a moment, the only person likely to have helped him was his Old Ancestor.

He was very grateful, but this was not the time to be distracted. He had to advance as soon as possible.

He immediately started to continue connecting to the other magic runes. Previously, no matter what he did, he was not able to successfully connect up the runes but this time he succeeded with ease, and there was no instability.

Norton was overjoyed and continued to connect to the other runes. Soon, all twelve magic runes were connected together, and the entire magic formation lit up.

A strong magical power radiated outwards, and Norton felt as if his entire body had sublimated!

Great Mage!

He had successfully advanced!

Seeing that Norton had finally advanced successfully and become a Great Mage, Romo heaved a sigh of relief. He was very glad.

[Ding… Family Clan has produced a Great Mage. Fulfilled required condition. Family Clan’s rank upgraded to Level 2.]

[Ding… Received gift bag for Family Clan’s rank upgrade to Level 2.]

Damn, the rank has actually been upgraded. That’s great.

Romo had asked the System previously how to upgrade the rank of family clan but the System did not tell him explicitly. It only mentioned that many conditions had to be met, including financial resources, number of members, strength, influence, and so on. However, Romo did not know specifically what was required. But currently, Romo knows. Previously, all the other conditions had already been met, and only a Great Mage had been lacking. Now that Norton had advanced, the family clan’s rank naturally also leveled up.

Now that Norton had advanced and his family clan’s rank had also been upgraded, it was double happiness for the family. Romo’s hope for his family clan to rise up had advanced again by one more step. Looking toward the gift bag rewarded for the family clan’s upgrade to rank-2, Romo immediately opened it with a thought.

[Ding… Received 50 Family Clan Luck Distribution Points.]

[Ding… Received 12 Super Experience Talismans.]

[Ding… Received 1 blueprint for a Small Protective Formation!]

[Ding… Received 1 Night Travel Talisman.]

[Ding… Received a Store Half-Price Beckoning Talisman.]

There was lots of good stuff, and each of them seemed great. Romo looked at the blueprint for the Small Protective Formation first. If he could gather all the materials, he would be able to set up a Small Protective Formation to protect his current family clan.

[Night Travel Divine Talisman: One can be advanced temporarily to the Spirit Demon realm and go out at night!]

Damn, this is amazing. The Spirit Demon realm is equivalent to the Divine Mage realm. The Great Archmage, who plundered luck previously, is nothing before the Divine Mage.

This talisman not only could allow one to advance temporarily to the Spirit Demon realm but also to go out at night. This was simply a great killing weapon. With this talisman, Romo no longer needed to be afraid of enemies attacking his family clan. As for the Store Half-Price Beckoning Talisman, he would leave it for now and use it only after he had accumulated more Faith Points.

Currently, it is better to increase the family clan’s luck points first.

Romo thought for a while. Previously, he had added merely 20 points to the luck for wealth, and the businesses of the family clan prospered. Moreover, they also had the soap, which enabled them to rapidly amass wealth. They no longer needed this. What they needed most now was to increase their strength quickly. This was the most fundamental.

Thinking of this, Romo added all the 50 Distribution Points directly to the luck for magical power. With the increase in luck for magical power, the cultivation speed would increase for the entire family clan. Also if they were to encounter hurdles during cultivation, it would also be easier for them to achieve breakthroughs. Following this, Romo looked at the 12 Super Experience Talismans and used them all.

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level-1 Spectral Spirit.]

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level-2 Spectral Spirit.]

…

[Ding… The host’s strength has increased to Level-12 Spectral Spirit.]

Romo had advanced consecutively to level-12 and powerful energy kept surging in Romo’s body. Romo felt he had inexhaustible energy in his body. He was now at the full level of the Spectral Spirit realm. This was equivalent to the full level of the Great Mage realm, which was level-12, many times more powerful than Norton. The System was indeed powerful. Norton had worked so hard to advance to level-1 Great Mage, yet Romo was able to use just a few Experience Talismans directly to advance rapidly, level after level, right up to level-12 without any bottlenecks. If Norton were to know about this, he would probably be so envious that he would vomit blood. Moreover, Romo’s spirit body had changed; it was different from before.

Romo was a spirit previously. From Romo’s perspective, he was an almost transparent spirit body without any special characteristics. However, some faintly discernible runes had appeared now on his spirit body. These runes were very similar to the magic runes condensed by Norton, but they were much more profound. Moreover, there were no signs that they were artificially condensed. Instead, they seemed innate and full of a natural kind of rhythm.

Romo could also sense that the power in his existing body had originated mostly from these runes. And, the power of these runes was much stronger than the runes condensed by Norton. He should test his current ability.

As he thought of this, Romo started to test his current strength. With a thought, the mysterious runes on his body lit up, and then a gust of cold air diffused out directly from his body. The temperature of the entire ancestral hall instantly dropped by several degrees.

“Eh? It’s an attack similar to the Icy Magic Spell, and it can instantly reach – 100 °C?”

After Romo had tested his ability, he immediately gained a deeper understanding of it.

The profound runes on his body had the same effect as the Icy Runes. They could enable Romo to release a cold attack directly, achieving a temperature of -100 °C. Such a temperature would instantly freeze a person into an ice sculpture. There was no chance to react at all.

Despite this, Romo still could not leave the ancestral hall; he could only remain trapped here.

Romo then looked at the Small Protective Formation blueprint again. The construction materials were very simple; only five Magic Stones were needed. After all, the Small Protective Formation was only a small and very simple formation. Romo did not have the Magic Stones, but his family clan did. He could ask Norton for them. Thinking of this, Romo looked at Norton.

At this moment, Norton had just advanced to level-1 Great Mage, and he was very happy. After becoming a Great Mage, his strength was at least ten times greater than before. As such, he had greater confidence in protecting his family clan.

However, he recalled that earlier, when he was clearly failing in his advancement, a burst of energy was suddenly injected into his body, enabling him to advance smoothly. The only person capable of helping him like this was his Old Ancestor..
