Chapter 289: 002: Moonlight, Ruins, and Tower
Aside from a large number of Magic Stones and materials, the biggest gain from Lynchâs raid was undoubtedly the Wizard Inheritances.
The Wizard Families he raided were a total of three, and from them he obtained six sets of Wizard Inheritances. The âMoon Eclipseâs End Sighâ before him was one of them, originating from the first family Lynch raided, the Claire family, a family studying Celestial Magic.
By the flickering firelight, Lynch quietly started to read.
While Celestial Magic in the Magic domain isnât as popular as Elemental Magic, it isnât particularly obscure either, with plenty of Wizards studying it.
The theory behind this Magic primarily relies on the âStar Tractionâ theory, where every celestial body in this world possesses unique powers, such as the sun bringing heat, moonlight healing, Mars igniting, and Jupiter thriving with vitality.
Different celestial bodies possess unique powers, and they interconnect through elements; by altering the arrangement and combination of celestial bodies, one can harness their powers.
Soon, Lynch finished one round of reading.
[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh proficiency +3], the systemâs crisp notification sounded in his ear.
Lynch glanced at the panel.
[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh lv0: 26/100000].
âSo slow!â
Lynch couldnât help but complain.
Wizard Level Magic is an aggregation and further extension of Apprentice Level Magic. The difficulty of learning a set of Wizard Level Magic depends on the mastery of the Apprentice Level Magic within that setâs Ring Magic System, which is basic knowledge.
Related knowledge about Celestial Magic is sparse in the Shadow Towerâs library, and Lynchâs understanding is limited, making it somewhat challenging to learn now.
âTake it slowly.â
Shaking his head, Lynch calmed his anxious mind. Difficult as it may be, as long as proficiency increases, itâs fine.
Settling his emotions, he took out a pocket watch and pressed the switch. His conscious thoughts entered the Time Hut, where in this space unique to him, he repeatedly studied this scroll of Magic knowledge.

[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh proficiency +6]
[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh proficiency +2]âŠ
Repeating the reading process dozens of times until most of his spiritual power was consumed, Lynch exited the Time Hut, and his scattered thoughts returned to reality.
âCrackle!â
The sound of wood splintering arose, with burning embers dispersing in the wind.
The bonfire blazed brightly.
[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh lv0: 368/100000].
The proficiency had already broken through to three digits, increasing by over three hundred points, and the bonfire before him hadnât even burned out; it felt as if only a moment had passed, showcasing the wonders of the Time Hut.
But it wasnât without cost, powered by Magic Stones. Just the brief moment just now consumed hundreds to thousands of Magic Stones, truly a voracious beast.
Yet, it didnât matter; Lynch had already emptied the treasure houses of those wealthy Wizard Families in previous raids. The astronomical number of Magic Stones theyâd accumulated over the years was enough for Lynch to squander for quite a while.
âYawn!~â
The fatigue in his spiritual power made Lynch yawn. For any other Wizard, it would be time to wash up and sleep, but Lynch was different. The long night was a great time for cultivation; how could he waste it on sleep?
He stood up, picked up the Phantom beside him, and performed a Cross Sword training.
[Mirror Flowers Water Moon proficiency +3]
[Mirror Flowers Water Moon lv1: 322/20000]
After completing a set of swordsmanship, with heat emanating from his body, Lynch immediately sat down to commence Knight Breathing Method training. After one round of cultivation, his previously depleted spiritual power was fully restored, seemingly as good as new.
Mental fatigue was swept away, and the fully revitalized Lynch returned to sit by the fire, pulling out his pocket watch to start a second round of cultivationâŠ

Traveling by day, studying by night, traveling, studying, the cycle continued over the months.
After several months of journeying, Lynch finally traveled out of the Forgotten Forest, reaching the next stop in the ruins, the Lost Tower.
âTap! Tap! Tap!â
Footsteps echoed in the silent forest.
Lynch walked on a stone staircase made of large, wide stone slabs, surrounded by towering trees shrouded in mist and lush grasslands speckled with blue flowers, presenting the visage of a primeval Forest.
Yet, beneath the layers of dense greenery, it wasnât hard to spot the hidden scenery of collapsed stone pillars, shattered murals, and all manner of ruins, debris, and broken bricks now entirely engulfed by nature.
âTap!â
After passing a broken stone pillar lying across the stone road, Lynch suddenly halted and became alert.
He vaguely sensed that there seemed to be some movement ahead.
In front was an area overgrown with thick vegetation and shrubs, where the stone path was completely buried.
His spiritual power detected no anomalies, yet to be safe, he raised his right hand to his chest and summoned spiritual power to cast a Spell.
Suddenly, a phantom of a crescent moon appeared in the sky, casting moonlight on the vegetation in front, followed by waves of ethereal and mystical sounds echoing back, like a pebble dropped onto a tranquil lake, rippling outward.
[Moonlight Soul Echo]
After more than three months of continuous effort, he finally had a grasp on the Wizard Inheritance of âMoon Eclipseâs End Sigh.â
[Moon Eclipseâs End Sigh lv1: 2618/300000]
The spell before him was unlocked post-initiation from âMoon Eclipseâs End Sigh,â a Celestial Magic belonging to the perception category of the spiritual magic system, casting moonlight to sense the area illuminated, with an energy intensity of about one hundred units, and a sensing range of over a thousand meters.
A complete Wizard Inheritance isnât composed of a single Magic Model but a whole suite of category-specific Magic, encompassing Apprentice Level Basic Magic and Wizard Level Spells, with the Soul Resonance among them.
Other than the time inheritance left by Wizard Somda, this was his first time learning a complete Wizard Inheritance.
The previous Angry Dragon Flame had supposedly given him inheritance, but in truth, most of the Magic Models were Fire Magic from the apprentice period; Wizard Ronâs Blood and Fire Hymn doesnât even need further mention, being just a standalone model.
âSplash!â
Soon, a clear, flowing sound echoed in Lynchâs earâthat was the Soulâs Echo. Through this sound, he precisely identified the creatures in the foliage ahead, discerning whether there were hidden powerful Magic Beasts.
Lynch eased his knitted brows; the Soulâs Echo indicated something ahead, but it wasnât a significant threat.
He continued onward.
The road ahead was heavily overgrown, forming a convoluted wall of sorts, requiring clearing to pass through.
However, given their healthy growth, simply destroying them seemed wasteful. With just a short distance to cover, Lynch decided to use [Elemental Voidification] instead, rendering himself intangible and passing directly through.
Soon, Lynch emerged from the ruins and reached the end of the stone stairs.
What appeared before him was a ruined plaza.
Finally, atop the plaza stood a tower.
This was a colossal Wizard Tower.
Even after millennia, even with its remnants and ruins, its grandeur and greatness could still be felt.
This was the first landmark encountered upon reaching the ruins.
The core site of the ancient Wizard Civilization Acadia, the gathering place for those powerful Wizards of the era:
The Lost Tower.

Of course, this was a name given by later generations, for it was called something different in its timeâ
The Eternal Tower.
