The Petal Flight Festival was originally a festival of the Pathenon Temple, but at some unknown point, it transformed into a grand celebration for all of Greece.
Whenever one came to Parthenon during this festive celebration, they would always witness a magical and beautiful scene.
Countless delicate honey-tea colored petals intertwined with emerald-blue leaves in mid-air, drifting down from Pathenon Mountain with the seasonal winds blowing from the Mediterranean.
On this day, petals and leaves would fall in front of every household's door.
It was precisely because of this that the name Petal Flight Festival came about.
Even though there was an issue with the election of the Parthenon Goddess, the Petal Flight Festival was still held.
The believers wanted to go up the mountain to worship.
However, what they received was news of the mountain being sealed off.
Inside the Goddess Hall, almost all the High-Level officials of the Pathenon Temple were gathered.
"I never thought you would have such a wicked heart. You actually killed Penny Jia to eliminate an obstacle on your path to becoming the Goddess!" Grand Sage Cynthia angrily rebuked.
Everyone around glared at one person.
Ye Xinxia lowered her head in a daze, seeing only a crimson blur and the blood-stained dagger in her right hand.
Next to her, a woman lay in a pool of blood.
One of the Goddess candidates, Penny Jia.
"Did I do this?" Ye Xinxia murmured to herself.
"Are you still going to pretend now? Your actions are unforgivable!" Cynthia angrily shouted.
Ye Xinxia still wanted to defend herself, but Cynthia gave her no chance.
"Imprison her and let her face the judgment of the Holy Judgment Court!"
......
......
Altar of Praise.
Jiang Yuan emerged from the meditation room.
"Hahaha, our Huaxia has another Super-Level Mage!"
Pang Lai's hearty laughter echoed.
His voice arrived before he did.
"How does it feel to be promoted to Super-Level?" Pang Lai asked.
"It's alright, much stronger than before," Jiang Yuan said.
"That's not just much stronger; Super-Level is a qualitative leap compared to High-Level. Your magical control will undergo an extremely high transformation. If your control reaches a certain height, it will also give birth to your own magical power, which we usually call Transcendental Power," Pang Lai said with a smile.
Every Mage, after reaching Super-Level, will forge their own magical path, no longer confined to the previous standardized magical routines.
The magic of Super-Level Mages begins to change endlessly, ultimately manifesting as their respective Transcendental Power.
Of course, Mages with Transcendental Power are considered among the strongest in the Super-Level.
"Truly, the waves behind push the waves ahead, pushing the previous waves onto the beach to die. To think that at your age, I had just entered High-Level not long ago," Pang Lai sighed.
Jiang Yuan had heard such sentiments many times before and could only respond with a smile.
"By the way, Mentor, Mo Fan and the others are all out, right?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"They are out, but Mo Fan he…" At this point, Pang Lai's expression became a little strange.
"Jiang Yuan, do you know Mo Fan has a younger sister?"
"I've known her for a long time; she also calls me older brother," Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Something happened to her in the Pathenon Temple. She is now being accused of killing Penny Jia, a Goddess candidate. Mo Fan has already rushed to the Pathenon Temple," Pang Lai said.
"I understand."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he turned and walked down the mountain.
"Where are you going?" Pang Lai followed him.
"She also calls me older brother. Since Mo Fan has gone, how can I not go?"
…
The Altar of Praise is not far from the Pathenon Temple; even by car, it only takes less than an hour.
Jiang Yuan's speed was clearly faster than a car, and in just over ten minutes, he appeared at the foot of Pathenon Mountain.
Beside him followed a group of Huaxia National Government Mentors.
"It's useless for you to go. Ye Xinxia's accusation is very serious, and she is currently in solitary confinement. All we can do is try to get the Holy Judgment Court's verdict to be innocent. We have also invited the old god official from the Holy Judgment Court, and he is currently inside negotiating," Pang Lai said earnestly.
He did not want Jiang Yuan to encounter any accidents in this matter.
After all, besides members of the Pathenon Temple, there was only one way to see Ye Xinxia: to force one's way through the Star River Mountain Path.
Once one broke in, their magical cultivation might not be guaranteed!
"Star River Mountain Path, one intruder!"
"Star River Mountain Path, one intruder!"
"Star River Mountain Path, one intruder!"
Suddenly, a grand voice echoed throughout the entire sacred mountain, accompanied by solemn ancient bell sounds, reaching everyone's ears.
Looking up at the Star River Mountain Path, it was already enveloped by a deep blue barrier.
Pang Lai looked over in shock.
A person stood inside.
It was Mo Fan!
"How did he break into the Star River Mountain Path? Why didn't anyone stop Mo Fan?"
"We already tried to stop him, but his determination to go was firm; we couldn't persuade him at all."
Another group of people walked over. Zhu Meng, Han Ji, and Bao Laotou were all among them. The words just spoken were from Zhu Meng.
"Since he has already decided to go, then let him go," Bao Laotou said.
Pang Lai frowned.
No one present understood the dangers of the Star River Mountain Path better than him. When he tried to break through the Star River Mountain Path with four systems at Super-Level full cultivation and a great realm of spiritual power, he still failed.
If he hadn't retreated early, his cultivation would have been left in the Star River Mountain Path long ago.
It was too dangerous for Mo Fan to just rush in like that!
If Jiang Yuan were to break in, with his Undead System, he might actually have a chance to succeed…
Pang Lai looked at Jiang Yuan standing beside him.
Jiang Yuan's gaze was fixed on the Star River Mountain Path at this moment.
Pang Lai's heart tightened, and he asked, "Don't tell me, you also want to try breaking through the Star River Mountain Path?"
"I don't think Mo Fan can break through by himself," Jiang Yuan said.
The special thing about the Star River Mountain Path is that unless one is a Forbidden Curse Mage, even a Super-Level Mage with full cultivation will be suppressed to High-Level.
Although the realm is suppressed, Super-Level magic can still be used.
However, the third and fourth levels of the Star River Mountain Path are guarded by Monarch-level creatures, and High-Level Mages would die trying to get past them.
Especially the Silver Moon Titan in the last level; no matter how many High-Level Mages came, it wouldn't be enough.
In the original timeline, Mo Fan also relied on his demon bloodline to subdue Bó Lā in the third level, and then relied on Bó Lā to poison the fourth level, which allowed him to pass smoothly.
Otherwise, he would have to use his Demon System to fight his way through.
The key is that Mo Fan doesn't have his Demon System right now.
The blood drop that Jiang Yuan obtained before had not yet found a way to completely remove its negative effects, so he had not yet given it to Mo Fan to try.
Otherwise, if he used it, his magic would drop a level, and it would consume a huge amount of spirit essence. Mo Fan would be wailing in his ear every day.
To be fair, Mo Fan already called him foster father and was burdened with a large debt, so he couldn't not help.
Xinxia also called him older brother, so he couldn't just stand by and do nothing either.
"I strongly disapprove of you trying to break through the Star River Mountain Path, but if you insist on going, I won't stop you," Pang Lai took a deep breath and said.
Mages cannot grow up in a greenhouse; they must experience some difficult obstacles.
Anyway, one can exit the Star River Mountain Path midway.
If things really got bad, they could just go in as a group and drag Jiang Yuan and Mo Fan out.
