The Pearl Necklace emitted a delicate clinking sound between Luna's palms, and suddenly, the Starlight Bloodstain on Aelia's neck began to rotate clockwise.
The Lady of the Fortress staggered as she leaned against the Carved Pillars, the sultry gasps of Leonard's Concubine mingling with the loud cries of an infant, creating a haunting melody—this was the "Military Intelligence Report" that Leonard had recorded yesterday under the pretense of inspecting the borders using the Transmitting Crystal.
"Mother, look at this." The eldest brother moved forward in his Wheelchair, his fingertip, stripped of the Cursed Black Mist, traced a Star Trail in the air.
Seven Ice Crystals floated into the shape of Beidou, and in the emerging reflection at its center, Leonard was fastening a silver chain engraved with the Serpent Emblem around Leonard's Concubine's neck—that was the Aelia Family's Pregnancy Spirit Lock, a century-old inheritance.
Luna suddenly pressed a jade pendant against Aelia's bleeding fingertip, and the surface of Gu Yu erupted with golden light from an Infant Toothprint.
The position representing Lord Ming Xing in the Star Map exploded violently, and the shards that erupted perfectly fit with the Snake Eye Gem on the Third Prince's Crown.
Aelia staggered and fell onto the Peacock Velvet Couch, her face reflected in the moonstone-studded Dressing Mirror looking pale: "Eighteen years ago, during our marriage, he personally broke the Black Rose Hairpin that the Third Prince gave me..."
"Mother should go to Yan Ling Tai now." Brother San leaned against the Crystal Window with a light laugh; suddenly, the black rose in his fingers transformed into Star Sand, swirling with cursed Ashes that seeped into the Celebration Outfit Leonard had sent yesterday.
As Aelia trembled and touched the Snake Pattern Embroidery on her dress's collar, the Embroidered Shoes suddenly came to life and bit her finger, dark purple venom colliding with the starlight emitted by the jade pendant to create dazzling sparks.
The Horn Sound from the Magic Arena pierced through Wu Yun as the Magic Crystal on the armrest of the eldest brother's wheelchair suddenly emitted a Longyin.
The nobles in the audience watched in terror as that once-predicted "Disabled Mage," who would not survive the Rite of Passage, now floated above the Competition arena.
With each flap of his Ice Crystal Wings behind him, an inch of the Serpent Totem at the edge of the stands crumbled away.
"The backlash curse... has been lifted?" Second Brother suddenly crushed the Message Scroll in his hand.
He stared blankly as he watched his elder brother summon a Nine-Headed Ice Dragon; onlookers saw that the flag belonging to Glorious Demon Fortress was being dyed a color reminiscent of Frost Snow.
As the Judge struck the Golden Bell three times, a positioning compass gifted by his dear friend suddenly cracked open, revealing within it the corpse of a Soul Devouring Insect hidden at its core.
Luna nibbled on Moonlight Cheese in the VIP section, as Little Feet accurately kicked Second Brother's waist, striking the Dark Bag.
Suddenly, the fragments of a fallen compass fused together to form a Celestial Chart, resonating with the faint Magic Pattern on her swaddling. "Help..." Second Brother's voice was hoarse, as if a poisonous Thorn had ensnared his throat. At that moment, the infant unexpectedly expelled a starry Light Bubble, within which reflected his seven-year-old self casting a Forbidden Technique to save a drowning friend during Leonard's Last Night.
A torrential rain poured down without warning, and the water pooling beneath the podium surged backward, forming a mirror.
As the Champion Trophy touched his fingertip, the surface of the water clearly reflected Brother San playing with a Space Ring—inside it, an Ankeli was wildly absorbing the energy fluctuations from the cheers of the crowd.
Aelia tore apart a Pearl Necklace before Yan Ling Tai, and three hundred twenty Dong Zhu rolled into a Star Constellation Array.
When the last bead embedded with a Puppet Mark burst, Leonard, far at the border, suddenly clutched his neck and screamed—beneath the peeling Serpent Seal skin, blood was seeping from the Slave Code branded by Third Prince.
"Tomorrow's Ceremony..." Luna stammered as she grasped Second Brother's trembling fingers; deep within the infant's pupils, Twelve Star Tracks began to intertwine.
A crack suddenly appeared in the Defensive Barrier at the top of the Competition arena, and the fissure spread along a Track that perfectly matched the pattern of the black rose in Brother San's ring.
The black rose at Brother San's fingertip trembled in the downpour. He gazed at his elder brother hovering above the Competition arena; the Rainbow Light refracted by Ice Crystal Wings burned in his eye sockets.
Those books on Star Trail Resonance Principle he had tossed into a corner of the Library suddenly stirred in his memory—when he tested for dual Elemental Affinity at seven, an Astrologer had said he was destined to be a Magic Pattern architect, yet he had been obsessed with using Dark Element tricks to amuse Noble Young Ladies.
"So this is what true Dark Magic is..." Brother San pressed the black rose against his chest, its petals transforming into Star Sand that seeped into his skin.
The evenings he had neglected suddenly boiled within his Blood Vessel; seventeen years of wasted time coalesced into Black Thorn piercing his fingertip.
He abruptly tore open the collar of his gown embroidered with Gold Thread, revealing an unseen Dark Element Brand beneath his collarbone—at that moment, it resonated with the Magic Pattern on his elder brother's Ice Wings.
A wondrous sight emerged in the Competition arena amidst the rain; Dark Golden Magic Patterns spread out beneath Brother San's feet, identical to the Ancient Demon Formation he had secretly traced in Father's Study when he was seven.
The stands erupted with gasps as the nobles watched in disbelief as the notorious Third Young Master Lucius used Dark Element to condense the torrential rain into countless spinning Hexagrams.
"Mother, please use this." Qin Si suddenly appeared beside Yan Ling Tai, handing over the Snake Pattern Cloth soaked in Chen Lu to Aelia.
The gasps from the Emerald Earrings twisted into a screech as the fabric brushed against the Starlight Bloodstain. Leonard's Mental Imprint, left in the Puppet Mark, was forcibly pulled out, coalescing into a translucent Xu Ying amidst the downpour.
Aelia's Pearl Crown burst forth with blinding light as she hurled a shard of the Pregnancy Spirit Lock at Xu Ying. "You want to use my Ancestral Relic to imprint Leonard's Concubine? Leonard, even your betrayal reeks of desperation!"
"Aelia, let me explain..." The Leonard within Xu Ying pressed down on the bleeding Slave Code, trying to conceal the Third Prince's Brand on his neck with the Family Crest. "A Shadow Rift suddenly appeared at the border; I need that woman's Family Secret Technique..."
"Is it necessary to scheme even against your own flesh and blood?" Aelia suddenly sneered, her moonstone-embellished heels crushing Dong Zhu that had rolled to her feet.
As the bead containing the Eldest Son's Birthday Contract cracked open, Leonard within Xu Ying curled up in agony—his chest emerging with Contract Patterns that had siphoned talent energy from Children for eighteen years.
Qin Si timely unfurled a Magic Scroll, and three hundred Time Nodes that stole energy burned into fiery characters amidst the rain.
When the scroll reached the words "Luna's Hundred Day Feast," a baby's clear laughter suddenly rang out from the VIP section.
Everyone turned in astonishment to see Luna grasping Lucius's cascading silver hair, her small hand clutching a piece of Cheese that had somehow transformed into a Miniature Astrolabe.
"Brother San, look!" Second Brother suddenly pointed at the sky above the Competition arena in exclamation.
In the center of Brother San's Dark Gold Magic Array, Big Brother's Ice Crystal Wings were undergoing a transformation into the transparent form of Liu Zhuan Xing Hui.
The Dark Element that Brother San had once used for rose tricks was now precisely calculating the Resonance frequency of each feather, even rewriting the Track of falling rain into an amplified Curse.
Aelia's Emerald Earrings suddenly shattered, and she dipped her fingers in her Starlight Blood to draw the Family Totem in the void.
As the final stroke coincided with the Magic Pattern on Luna's Swaddling, Leonard's Xu Ying emitted a sound like breaking porcelain. Everyone clearly saw the projection of the Third Prince Crown piercing through his Heart.
"Tomorrow's Ceremony..." Aelia caressed the reformed Pregnancy Spirit Lock and suddenly turned to Brother San, who was constructing the Composite Magic Array. "Notify the Priesthood; I need to modify the Magic Castle's Inheritance Order."
As the torrential rain subsided, Brother San's Dark Gold Magic Array enveloped the entire Competition arena.
He knelt on the damp Crystal Ground, trembling as he retrieved a dusty Magic Rune Pen from his Space Ring.
The moment the pen tip touched the Peacock Stone Tiles, the Ancient Demon Formation that had remained unfinished since he was seven years old suddenly completed itself. The Serpent Totem at the edge of the stands was rewritten into a mysterious rune that reversed the extraction of energy from the Caster.
In the shadow of the VIP seats, Lucius's Wisteria Flower Ornament among his silver hair transformed into the Gaze of the Eye.
The usually low-key Third Young Master Lucius focused on Luna's Palm, which was spinning an Astrolabe. His Gray-Blue Pupils slightly contracted—at that moment, the baby's unaware little feet were precisely stepping on the frequency needed to break through the Magic Castle's Underground Sealing Array.
Lucius's Wisteria Flower Ornament glimmered with a cold light in the humid air after the rain.
He lowered his gaze to Luna's chubby little hand; her Palm's Astrolabe was spinning at a speed that defied Physical Laws. With each rotation, remnants of rainwater on the Ground evaporated into tiny starlights.
The Magic Ripple inadvertently created by Luna was silently spreading along the Magic Fortress Leyline towards the core of the Sealing Array.
"Has Third Young Master Lucius noticed too?" Qin Si passed by, holding Aelia's blood-stained gown. The Skirt brushed against Lucius's Boot Surface adorned with Dark Patterns. "This little one has loved clutching her Star Chart Device since the Hundred Day Feast."
Lucius’s Gray-Blue Pupils slightly contracted. He recalled passing by the Nursery three days ago and seeing Luna’s Cradle filled with discarded Astrological Models from the Astrology Institute.
But at this moment, what was in hand was evidently different—the Twelve Star Tracks were autonomously predicting the Energy Tide of the Magic Castle for the next three days, with an accuracy even surpassing that of the Priest Academy’s Prophecy Crystal.
A sudden gasp from the VIP section interrupted Lucius's contemplation.
His elder brother's Ice Crystal Wings had fully transformed into a translucent form, and the figure suspended in the air resonated with the statue of the First Lord of the Magic Fortress.
Brother San knelt in the center of the Composite Magic Array, where those hexagrams he had created using dark Elemental Recombination suddenly split into countless Light Spots, enveloping the whispering nobles in the audience with a fine Light Web.
"The Eldest Son's magic level... has already broken through the Ninth Rank barrier?" A certain Countess crushed her viewing manual in her hand, and the paper fragments were lifted by the energy of the Magic Array, forming the Ancient Magic Script for Talent Return in midair.
Her husband suddenly clutched his chest, as energy was being drawn back from the Magic Contract hidden in his inner pocket—this was the marriage pact signed with Leonard eighteen years ago.
Luna Yi Ya reached out to Lucius with her small hand smeared with cheese, and an Astrolabe suddenly projected a structural diagram of the underground third level of the Magic Castle.
Lucius's breath caught; the spot where the infant's fingertip fell was precisely where he secretly nurtured the Purple Wisteria Demon Plant's Root System.
The plant nerves entwined around the outer edge of the Sealing Array were now gently vibrating with Luna's tapping movements.
"You felt it too?" Second Brother appeared behind the VIP section without anyone noticing. The tattered sleeve he wore faintly revealed a Star Map made from the corpses of Soul Devouring Insects. "Sister is helping us recalibrate the Resonance frequency of the Sealing Array." As he spoke, faint gnawing sounds came from his Waist Dark Bag—the once-dead Soul Devouring Insects were consuming fragments of cursed positioning compasses.
Aelia's Pregnancy Spirit Lock emitted a Qingyue Mingxiang on Yan Ling Tai, and suddenly, three hundred twenty star ashes formed from Dong Zhu Burning coalesced into solid form.
As the chains re-fastened around her wrist, a dull Explosive Sound echoed from the direction of the border, and Leonard's scream reverberated throughout the Competition venue via their Bloodline Contract.
The noblewomen gasped in horror as they witnessed those Serpent Totems rewritten by Brother San wildly sucking at Lord's Source of Magic.
"Mother, a Magic Letter has arrived from the Northern Territory." Brother San suddenly raised his Magic Rune Pen, and Dark Gold Ink spread in midair to reveal a Military Intelligence Report pattern regarding border garrison troops.
As the final rune appeared, all nobles present who had signed contracts with Leonard felt their souls tremble—the Military Intelligence Report indicated that Lord's private army was approaching the Magic Fortress Barrier alongside Outsider Family forces.
Luna suddenly burst into laughter, her small hands patting Lucius's arm protectively.
The underground structure diagram of the Astrolabe suddenly magnified, and the Sealing Array's Core Area lit up with seventeen Light Spots, each corresponding to the Birth Star trajectories of the candidates for the Magic Castle's Heir.
Lucius's pupils constricted sharply as he clearly saw the Light Spot representing him being entwined by the Wisteria Root System, moving toward the main position.
"Third Young Master Lucius," Aelia's presence, infused with the aura of Starlight Blood, suddenly appeared at the edge of the VIP seats. The Pregnancy Spirit Lock on her wrist chimed softly. "Tomorrow's inheritance ceremony requires your cooperation to activate the Wisteria Defense Array." As she spoke, fragments of her Emerald Earrings began to automatically reassemble into a Serpent Hairpin, its sharp tip intentionally pointing toward Lucius, who was hiding the Gaze of the Eye beneath his silver hair.
The rain-washed Crystal Ground suddenly reflected a strange shadow.
The figure of his elder brother was becoming ethereal, each feather of the Ice Crystal Wings emerging from the Sealing Array's decryption Formula.
Second Brother suddenly pressed his trembling temples, and from his waist, the Soul Devouring Swarm formed into a Blood Arrow, all pointing toward the Magic Castle's West Tower—where the Starfall Sword that suppressed the Shadow Rift was sealed by the First Generation Fortress Master.
"Mother, the Northern Territory garrison is thirty miles from the barrier." Brother San's Magic Rune Pen suddenly sputtered sparks, and Dark Gold Ink sketched a real-time battle situation on Yan Ling Tai.
As Leonard's Concubine emerged in a projection, Luna suddenly expelled a bundle wrapped in starlight. At the moment of bursting bubbles, all enemy Magic Marks in the battle map bizarrely turned toward the Imperial Capital.
Lucius felt the baby in his arms suddenly become scorching hot; the Magic Pattern on Luna's Swaddling was exchanging energy with his Wisteria Root System.
When he attempted to probe with Dark Element magic, he discovered that his power was being purified—those curses used to nurture Gaze of the Eye were being washed clean into pure natural elements by starlight.
"Before dawn tomorrow," Aelia said as she caressed the newly formed Dark Night Rose Pattern on her Pregnancy Spirit Lock, "I need all inheritance candidates to stand by at Starfall Pavilion." As she turned, her moonstone heels crushed the last half of Dong Zhu, and the Puppet Contract Ashes sealed within floated toward her elder brother. Upon touching Shan Na's Ice Crystal Wings, they ignited with Purifying Fire.
The competition dome suddenly descended with Rainbow Light, and elder brother's Xu Ying gradually solidified within the Halo.
When he reopened his Ice Blue Eyes, a Starry Mark from the First Generation Fortress Master emerged on his forehead.
The sound of Leonard's Sword hitting the ground echoed from the stands, as those knights who had once mocked him for not surviving the Rite of Passage were now forced to kneel on one knee, oppressed by the power of Bloodline.
Luna suddenly grasped the Wisteria Emblem on Lucius's chest, and the Astrolabe Projection displayed the energy fluctuation chart of the Magic Castle for the next three days.
Just as the Red Dot, representing crisis, was about to engulf the entire Projection, a baby pressed a saliva-covered jade pendant against the center of the Emblem.
Lucius trembled violently; the Resonance from the core of the Sealing Array finally allowed him to see clearly—those Wisteria he had nurtured as mere decorations were, in fact, the last natural Magic Pattern missing from the Sealing Array.
As Twilight descended, all the Serpent Totems on the Outer Wall of the Magic Castle had completely shed their skins.
Brother San knelt on the Astrology Platform at the top of Starfall Pavilion, his Fingertip stained by Dark Element, redrawing the First Generation Magic Array Diagram.
Second Brother stood in the shadows of the West Tower, where a Soul Devouring Swarm was gnawing at the Sealing Rune of Starfall Sword, reshaping it to fit Brother's palm print.
Carrying the sleeping Luna through the Emerald Corridor, Lucius felt the Wisteria Root System weave a starlit path beneath his feet.
When the last trace of curse from Gaze of the Eye was purified, he heard the baby murmur in a dreamlike whisper: "Wisteria... has bloomed..."
Moonlight pierced through the clouds of Shan Na, and all Shadow Rifts within the Magic Castle simultaneously blossomed with pale purple Buds.
Aelia stood at the highest point of Yan Ling Tai, where a Pregnancy Spirit Lock entwined around a Projection of Starfall Sword pierced into Geomancy.
Meanwhile, unnoticed on the East Terrace, Qin Si was soaking a blood-stained Snake Pattern Cloth in Moonlight Spring, where tooth marks on its edges perfectly matched Luna's Milk Tooth.
