"The owner of the ’Eye of the Storm’ is the mad witch Cecilia. Her power is strong, but her behavior is extremely erratic. Sometimes she would invite strangers to share convergence points without any reason, and other times she would directly blast those who approached."
This intelligence was extremely valuable to Ron.
He began to replan his course of action in his mind, searching for the most suitable breakthrough opportunity.
The night was deep, but his thoughts were extraordinarily active.
The complex situation in the Quicksand Lands, the delicate balance of various forces, and those precious element convergence points...
All of this awaited his choice.
......
At dawn, Ron was awakened by a low and rhythmic rumbling sound.
The vibrations came from beneath his feet, like the heartbeat of the earth, sounding once every few seconds.
He walked to the window and found the entire Sand Sea School swaying slightly, like a ship sailing on waves.
"This is Ramses’ morning breath."
From outside the door came Magnus’s voice, the elder alchemist thoroughly accustomed to this life rhythm:
"Every morning, it takes deep breaths to adjust the elemental balance within itself."
Ron opened the door and found Magnus standing in the corridor holding a peculiar device.
It was a circular instrument made of crystal and metal, embedded with a dozen differently colored gems on the surface.
With each of Leviathan’s breaths, the gems would light up in sequence, revealing a pattern of data changes.
"This is the ’Dragon Breath Detector,’" Magnus introduced with excitement:
"Through it, we can observe the real-time state of the underground dragon bone network."
In the center of the instrument, a small projection device was showing a three-dimensional underground structure map.
Countless light lines spread like blood vessels, forming an extremely complex network system.
"Look here," Magnus pointed to a flashing node in the projection:
"Every time Ramses breathes, its life energy resonates with the ancient dragon bones underground. This resonance travels along the bone network, eventually forming energy gatherings at each convergence point."
Ron carefully observed the projected image, discovering that this resonance indeed had a distinct pattern.
Starting from Leviathan’s heart area, waves of energy fluctuations spread outward, being guided and amplified when encountering the underground dragon bones.
"This resonance mechanism..." he pondered deeply:
"Does it mean that all convergence points become more active at this time?"
"Exactly," Magnus nodded approvingly:
"Dawn is the best time for bloodline activation. But precisely because of this, the guards at each convergence point are also the most vigilant at this time."
At this moment, a peculiar music drifted in from outside the window.
It was not the melody of a man-made instrument, but the harmonious tones produced by the elements themselves.
The wind element weaved into invisible strings in the air, the fire element provided the beat, the water element was responsible for the melody’s rise and fall, and the earth element undertook the deep bass part.
The perfect fusion of the four elements created heavenly music beyond human imagination.
"Elemental Morning Song," Magnus softly said:
"This is a phenomenon unique to the Quicksand Lands. When various elements reach perfect balance under the catalyst of dragon bone resonance, this music spontaneously plays."
Ron closed his eyes, fully immersing in the beauty of this music.
Each note reached deep into his soul, causing his blood to flow faster, and the magic power within him to become more active.
This feeling... was like some ancient call, awakening the dormant power deep within his bloodline.
"Now you should understand why so many forces are vying for territory in the Quicksand Lands."
Magnus looked at Ron’s rapt expression with satisfaction and smiled:
"This environment is a rare paradise for any cultivator."
As the Elemental Morning Song gradually ended, Ron opened his eyes.
New light flickered in his pupils, and the power of his bloodline was eager to be unleashed.
"I think..." he gazed deeply into the slowly dissipating elemental light in the distance:
"It’s time to take action."
