Chapter 1261: 1261
“Saleen, you really do have a bad memory!” Jason joked with his student .

Saleen opened his Elemental Eye and looked, but did not find the floating island . The islands were not very big . When compared to true islands at sea, the island in question was little more than a piece of small land .
There was no such thing as a mage with a bad memory . Even if a said mage indeed had an inherently bad memory, they could just use a skill called Memory Magic .
Saleen then said, “Looks like we need to look for it slowly . The island couldn’t have disappeared into the waters . ”
Jason said, “Let me take you people for a spin . ”
Saleen smiled . Jason was intending to teach flying skills to both him and Truman . However, he was sure that his own flying skills were exceptional among level-ten sorcerers .
While all of that was going through Saleen’s head, Jason had unleashed his own magic amplifier—two rings with a diameter of a meter each . They appeared behind Jason as both the water and fire elements in the air thickened .
Saleen felt himself become enveloped by formless power—Jason’s territory .
Water Flame Alchemy and Blazing Flame Soul-refinement . Jason had melded both territories and formed a new territory that was without form . Saleen was unable to even peer at its rules using his Elemental Eye .
Jason took ten people into the air . Their speed reached 500 miles per hour in an instant . Saleen felt the blood rushing to his head, causing him to get dizzy and requiring him to adjust using a magic skill .
Wha…
Jason smiled and said, after seeing how startled Saleen was, “How about it? Did you learn anything?”
“There is no end to magic,” Saleen answered truthfully . He recalled Baudelaire’s ability to traverse space at the gods’ place . Saleen knew that he had been letting his ego get to his head .
“This is nothing, Saleen . I’m now a level-11 sorcerer . This is just my usual speed . ”
Saleen was speechless . He knew that level-11 sorcerers were capable of flying at over 300 miles per hour on average . His teacher’s flight ability was almost one-third faster than that .

“The extreme limit of my flight would surpass the speed of sound . ” Jason’s words shocked Saleen again . Such an extreme flight speed did not mean instantaneous bursts . If that was the case, skills like Rainbow or some others would have allowed one to move faster than flight, yet skills like Rainbow were unsustainable .
The extreme flight speed meant here was the very limit of a mage’s ability to have prolonged, sustained flight .
The speed of sound exceeded 1,200 miles per hour in the air . Jason was able to sustain his flight well over that speed . Such an ability would enable him to almost traverse the furthest distance between two points in any of the empires within just a single day .
Such speed would also enable Jason to punch through armor made of steel plates, simply by throwing a stone while in flight .
Saleen recalled his own Comet Flash . That movement skill was even more ferocious . When refined to the very extreme, it would make him move like a meteorite . It could burn up his body until nothing was left in flight .
It was not a kind of speed that any armor could defend against .
If he were to truly reach the speed of comets, Saleen would be able to cause a disaster on the ground, simply by throwing down a common piece of rock while he was high up in the air .
However, said rock would need to be huge enough that it would not burn down to dust as it fell through the atmosphere .
If Theisio had been able to separate himself from the Origin Stone of Darkness after he transformed, Sika would have been the one who had ended up dead . The speed of a level-13 powerful being was not something Saleen would have been able to imagine . They would have probably been able to move faster than his teacher .
Saleen flew above the black ocean, his teacher taking the lead . Jason no longer bothered to conceal his powers and accelerated, taking everyone over the ocean .
The energy in the middle of each of the two rings of fire and water flowed ceaselessly, sustaining Jason’s flight . Jason was not using his own magic chords . He had only been flying using the power of the magic amplifiers .
Saleen was even able to see the workings of energy within the rings of fire and water when Jason did not bother concealing his power . He was, of course, able to see more than Truman was able to .
Even if Truman was able to train and obtain the Elemental Eye, he would not be able to maintain it for more than several seconds .
Energy spewed from within the rings of fire and water, creating a wedge-shaped space of energy around every single one of them . The tangling of water and fire energies brought forth the energy of greater purity, pushing the wedge-shaped space forward .

The wedge-shaped space itself was a tremendously powerful weapon of mass destruction . Saleen speculated that if he were to just keep flying like that, he would be able able to even punch through a city wall .
It worked somewhat like his Water Shield . However, his Water Shield was comparatively mild when it came to offense, relying on the lightning magic patterns on it to break the enemy’s territory or elemental balance .
Saleen pointed at a black spot in the air after flying for several hours and said, “Teacher, that thing is up there!”
Jason quickly adjusted his direction and took them upwards . The fragment of the Sky City was floating at an altitude of only about 20,000 miles . Jason quickly flew up and was quite moved, seeing an entire piece of land floating in the sky .
“Good stuff indeed!” Jason praised . The Sky City fragment had a thickness that differed from Saleen’s speculation . It was actually 360 miles in height, which meant that the thing looked like a cone in the sky .
Its lower part was pointed . The upper part was the platform carrying the goddess’ temple .
The structure below the platform was simple . Saleen saw a frame constructed with level-18 elementite at its core . All manner of magical materials formed the land .
The magic arrays formed by the magical materials were not all that complex by comparison, even though all of them were three-dimensional magic arrays . Saleen was able to comprehend what he saw with his Elemental Eye .
Many kinds of slots were found on the land . Saleen saw many overlapping spaces .
Below the 36 square mile platform were all manner of resources . Magic arrays provided the water required to sustain life, as well as all kinds of nourishment .
The thing that had shocked those seeing it was only a fragment . A complete Sky City was said to be thousands of miles long . One could only imagine what it would have looked like .
Jason brought Saleen and his people onto the Sky City’s fragment . Saleen placed his Magical Element Tower on an open space .
“While it’s quite early to do this, given how we need to take on the Holy See, we have to do it all the same . ” Saleen’s Magical Element Tower connected with the Sky City fragment as soon as it landed .
Six Elements’ Heavy Water and Genesis Stock Solution were released all at once, melding within the tower .

The properties of the Genesis Stock Solution indicated that the Sky City fragment was being repaired . Doing this required massive amounts of energy . Saleen threw the bone crystals of the giant into it and melded them with the Six Elements’ Heavy Water, all of it seeping into the Sky City fragment .
Massive cracking noises were heard and the Sky City fragment shook . The mechanical core of the Sky City within the Magical Element Tower continued to grow outwards, entering the Sky City fragment, combining with the materials and magic arrays in it .
Saleen then saw the Magical Element Tower gradually sink to the ground as if it were being sucked in by the Sky City fragment . Saleen needed to keep observing with his Element Eye to locate the mechanical core of the Sky City .
Under the workings of the Genesis Stock Solution, the mechanical core of the Sky City merged with the tower within the Sky City fragment . The bone crystals of the giant that Saleen had thrown in were also being used to restore the Sky City fragment .
The fragment itself was not all that badly damaged . It would not have been able to float in midair otherwise . After the tower merged with it, that piece of land was truly able to fly, no longer just being taken wherever the wind blew .
As he’d speculated would happen, Saleen’s tower was gone, yet he’d gained an even larger flying equipment in exchange .
Said equipment was hardly considered a piece of equipment at all . The Sky City fragment was over 300 miles tall and had far exceeded the area of the air layer covering the land .
If it had not been for the fact that that piece of land was covered with a layer of thick elemental gas that moved with it, Saleen would have had to put up the Water Shield a long time ago .
So, how should I bring this thing back to Myers Mainland then?
The Sky City fragment began to exhibit new changes as that thought went through Saleen’s mind . The cone beneath the fragment began to shrink . The fragment became much shorter under the mechanical core’s control .
After the matter was compressed to a certain level, things began to get converted . All manner of magic arrays were stacked and compressed, forming new magic arrays .
Saleen had never expected to see such changes happening .
The way the structure of the Sky City fragment compressed resembled folding paper toys played by children . The changes that took place in the matter after compression caused the level of the matter to enhance tens of times over .
The lower part of the fragment had looked like little more than a bunch of rocks in the beginning . After the compression, the outer shell of the entire Sky City fragment looked like something as dense and hard as the bone crystals of the giant .
The material gleamed with dark golden colors . Its original 360-mile height was eventually compressed to just 900 meters . Such compression would have turned a pile of sh** into a diamond .
But then again, how do I take away something this big from the interdimensional space?
The fragment’s core gave Saleen the answer he sought . A huge magic array appeared where Saleen stood, right at the center of the land .
“A space-jumping magic array!” Jason’s eyes were still looking at the magic array, not turning away or blinking even once .
That magic array was of a complexity exceeding anything that Saleen and Jason had ever imagined . Such magic arrays would have required many powerful mages to craft together in ancient times . If it had not been for the Genesis Stock Solution, there would have been no way for Saleen to ever restore it .
The magic array was octagonal, with a huge magic power furnace appearing in each of the eight corners . Those were the true power sources that powered the Sky City’s movement . The magic power furnaces looked like towers, requiring people to get inside them to get them working .
The mechanical core grew out from the lower part of the Sky City fragment, forming into tens of thousands of metal spikes . The spikes then formed a magic net, covering the entire Sky City fragment in the opposite direction .
The area within a 100 miles radius was even covered by the magic net from the fragment .
In ancient times, the Sky City had been more than housing for people . The Sky Cities had been powerful weapons of war . The spot where Saleen stood at an altitude of 360 miles, high in the air above the ocean of that interdimensional space . Anything thrown from such a height would be turned into lethal weapons .
Furthermore, a massive magic net was placed beneath the lower part of the Sky City . Tens of thousands of enchanters would have been housed within that magic net . The spikes gradually receded after shooting out, turning the lower part of the fragment into something resembling a beehive .
“We’ll call this a Floating City, Saleen . ” Jason observed all the changes happening in the Sky City from start to finish, learning a lot from it in the process . He had etched all of the ancient magic arrays deep in his mind .
“Sure, teacher . Let’s get out of here,” Saleen said, unleashing hundreds of elemental creatures into the magic power furnaces of the octagonal magic array . Eight huge magic power furnaces burst with massive power which was siphoned into the magic array .
Millions of magic patterns within the magic array were invoked . The entire Floating City tore through space in an instant, traversing the planes and appearing right above New Demon City .
