Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 770 "Fortune and Disaster Go Together" [Additional Update for Alliance Leader Weng Zhanzhi]

Although he does not have the supreme position, he has supreme power.

This is how today’s powerful stars evaluate the peak figures of this era: unimaginable feats, unimaginable power, yet leaving people speechless.

After all, no matter if it is "Haoyue" who transcends the rules of the star realm with extreme skills and opens up a new path when there is no way forward.

Or he is the "Sun" who leads thousands of legions on an expedition and changes the pattern of the star world.

Or maybe he was the "miracle of the starry sky" who seemed nonchalant when they met in private but had carried the origin of the star world with his own life.

Or maybe it’s the “Last Silver Moon” who single-handedly broke the world’s cognition and rewrote the definition of the peak.

The great achievements he has achieved can only make people say one sentence from the bottom of their hearts:

'This is what the peak is.'

As for what it means to master both the ultimate realm and the domain power at the peak stage? Regarding this point, the information does not explain it in detail, but only briefly cites two peak cases in the world.

The first one is a military leader known as the Shining Sun of the Golden Age. According to the records, his vessel was made from a world that had once successfully transcended. Its volume alone is billions of miles large. When its power is fully unleashed, it can cover most of the void, like a blazing sun hanging in the entire void, making people dare not look directly at it.

The second one is the leader of the Lai Lai Religion who they are very familiar with, known as the Star of the Golden Age. According to the above records, the opponent's domain is suspected to be made of an entire galaxy, and when he takes action, he can exert the pressure of the entire galaxy on one place.

However, Xin Lailai was completely unable to see any further description of the opponent's territory. The only thing he knew was that the last time their leader made a full effort was in a battle that lasted less than half a day, and the opponent's title of "Demon God Who Shattered the Stars" only began to appear after that.

This is one of the few descriptions in the data about the current peak people when they unfolded their domains. According to the records in the data, it was after the rise of the military lord that only those who cultivated a "vessel of Tao" capable of carrying the domain were qualified to ascend to the pinnacle, which officially became a rule tacitly accepted by the strongest people at that time.

Not only that, regarding the title of 'Instrument of the Tao', there have actually been some interesting things that happened in the past. For example, the founder of the Three Thousand Gods Sect, a certain extremely powerful leader who has now passed away, was determined to call the 'Instrument of the Tao' the 'natal magic weapon'. And there was a group of strong people who were no less imaginative than the others and firmly believed that it should be called the 'Emperor's Soldier of the Ultimate Tao'. Even this debate seems to have not stopped until this day.

Of course, in fact, in the information of academic sects, the so-called "vessel of the Tao" has a clear academic title, but the term "vessel of the extreme realm" is obviously too subtle in style and daily communication, so not many people use it.

According to the research conclusions given in the materials, the earlier one cultivates the 'vessel of the Tao', the better. But the problem is that if one knows about this too early, it is easy to lead astray those weaklings who don't even know what their own path is.

Therefore, the information about the "Vessel of the Tao" was set by Paradise as high-authority content that only those who have reached the ultimate and strongest level are qualified to disseminate. This is equivalent to giving the right of choice to these strong people who have reached the half-step peak level. As long as they judge that a younger generation or a new contractor is qualified to know, they can take the initiative to tell the other party these contents.

However, normally speaking, even if they can actively spread it, most of the strongest people in the extreme realm will only mention these things to their inheritors or younger generations when they see them reach the fifth level or even higher. After all, for most people, let alone the basic fields explored on their own path, it is not easy to play out the field-related abilities inherited from the inheritance.

As for those like them who accidentally figured out the direction of using objects to carry their own domain when they were at the third level... I can only say that sometimes unconventional ways have their advantages.

If they had a top-notch domain ability inherited from the heritage like the Netherworld of the Dead, even if they thought of using the Book of the World as the carrier of the domain, they would never spend so much effort developing their own domain like they do now.

However, considering that they were, in a sense, pioneers trained by 83203 himself, it didn't seem to be something to boast about that they had found this path at the third level.

After all, in terms of the 'orthodoxy' of the path of magic, with 83203's guidance, it can be said that they are as orthodox as can be. Not only were they required to develop the passive skills of their two magics in depth early on, but they also created their own core spells before becoming grandmasters.

And he maintained an extremely high-pressure learning state throughout the whole process, not daring to let his spell theory fall behind in the slightest. Even when he encountered a problem, he was required to think it over by himself until he had no solution at all before asking the other party and Kagus for help. It can be said that in terms of the requirements for wizards alone, there is probably no one in the entire paradise who is more demanding than 83203.

In the eyes of the other party, let alone the Grand Master of Magic, even if a wizard of the most powerful level came, as long as he was still following the path of others, he would probably be demoted to pieces by the other party and thrown out of the academic sect as non-renewable garbage.

And this is not an exaggeration. Although there are few records about 83203 in the database, during the drinking process with 04296, the other party had vaguely mentioned that 83203 was a ruthless person in the past who used his mouth to defeat many powerful people, even the strongest people at the extreme level, until their hearts were shattered. It is even said that some of the strongest people at the extreme level still have psychological trauma from 83203 and do not have the courage to set foot in academic sects.

Of course, although they were criticized, the facts proved that 83203 would never say meaningless nonsense, nor would they make outrageous and harsh requirements for no reason.

Take them for example, although they are all mages, the top-tier mages like Star Girl and Dao Fa are basically stuck in spells or mana mastery for various reasons, and they cannot upgrade even with the resources.

On the contrary, they were able to be promoted directly and smoothly to the dual magic master level 20, and even had a glimpse of what they would look like when they reached the magic master level 30 or even higher. This is the benefit of strictly adhering to the stringent requirements customized by 83203.

This also includes mental strength and casting speed, which are supposed to be indicators of breadth. In fact, judging from the effects of the two masters of magic alone, their master's abilities have never provided any enhanced bonus on casting ability. They have only brought their observation and understanding of spells and mana to the extreme.

But the reality is that they have still reached the pinnacle of the same level in terms of casting speed, casting accuracy, casting range, which are not directly related to the depth of the magic path, and this is the benefit brought by their unswerving pursuit of the "depth" direction.

Just like knowledge and money, some people, after learning some superficial knowledge, can't wait to go out to work and make money, focusing their energy on immediate benefits, while others are determined to further their studies on the road of knowledge despite huge investment costs, and only after reaching a certain limit will they in turn convert the knowledge they have mastered into substantial wealth. This is the difference between the 'depth' and 'breadth' of the path of magic.

If you choose 'Breadth', you may be able to get higher basic stats than others in the early stage. For example, you can rely on the ultimate ability bonus of the Spell Master to push the mental strength and release range to the limit early on, or you may master some extremely powerful active abilities like Liu Bing and the Pale Lady Ailin they met on the White Frontier Star.

But when he looks back, he will find that for the sake of this temporary value, he has missed the opportunity to break through the upper limit of his magic. In the end, he can only hold a large amount of resources, looking at the threshold of the magic master that he can't break through, and is stuck in the top echelon.

If they choose "depth", they may not be able to compete with those who choose various active or value-added mages in terms of strength at the beginning because they lack the advantages of several bonuses. But as the rank progresses, when both sides have reached the threshold of Grandmaster, they can advance their own Grandmaster level to LV.20 in one go, and then in turn learn secrets and spells such as Burning Soul and Refining Heart and Infusing Spirits with extremely high efficiency, and make up for their shortcomings at a very fast speed.

Just like the strength of their mental power, when they had just maxed out their spell mastery, their mental power was actually still quite a distance away from releasing fifth-order large-scale magic. But now, not only have they completed the spell theory that they should master to release fifth-order large-scale magic, but they can also immediately push their own mental power to the limit, and in turn surpass the top-tier pure spiritual wizards like Yuan in terms of value, and then step by step push all the values ​​of their other aspects to the maximum, reaching a level that the opponent can only dream of.

People cannot earn money beyond their own cognition, and wizards cannot create spells beyond their own understanding.

When knowledge and understanding are insufficient, even imagination becomes extremely poor.

This is why when they came into contact with the spells mastered by Xingnv, Daofa and others, they were constantly inspired, and finally even created new magical fields, which were great works that combined their own understanding of magic. Xingnv and others were not able to realize their own shortcomings until they had communicated with him and other top-tier magicians.

Of course, Xin Lailai did not deny that luck played a role in this. After all, the value of 83203's guidance was real. It would be better to say that their current situation was actually a disguised illustration of the correctness of 83203's demanding and abnormal requirements.

In fact, personally, he actually hoped that Xingnv and others could break through the original bottleneck after the tea party, break through to a higher level, or even make a comeback with their talent advantage and surpass them in the field of magic in one go.

Because only in this way can they have the opportunity to find someone of the same generation as them and with whom they can communicate on an equal footing. Just like the expectation that Dao Ji showed undisguisedly when he first met them, now they also long to gain peers who can be called 'Daoist friends' in the way of magic.

However, what they are most concerned about now is the current affairs in the field:

……

83203: "Have you finished reading it?"

Xin Lailai: “Hmmmm!”

83203: "According to my original plan, I should have told you these things after you upgraded the World Book to the epic level, but since you have come into contact with this path in advance through your own exploration, you should learn about it in advance."

……

It turns out that as long as their world book reaches the epic level, Boss 83203 will take the initiative to tell them about the extreme realm?

In front of the communication channel, Xin Lailai looked at the reply given by 83203, with a hint of surprise in her eyes at first, but then she understood.

Yes, by the time they upgrade the world art to the epic level, it will be at least the fourth or even fifth level. By then, their passive magic skills will have reached LV.40 or even LV.50. Given the harshness of 83203 on magic, it will definitely not be possible for them to delay in the field for too long.

"However, according to this statement, it seems that Boss 83203 has already thought about the direction in which our World Book should be built in the later stage?"

"Indeed, I should be surprised, but when I think about it being 83203-sister, it seems normal..."

"There's nothing we can do. After all, he's 83203... Uh, wait?! Ling Yuzi, you say, according to 83203's style, since he knows we've reached the edge of his territory, he won't..."

"Ah! Lailai, shut up! Stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, I will definitely...!"

In the soul space, Xin Lailai was communicating with Ling Yuzi. Halfway through the conversation, he seemed to suddenly think of something and his face changed. Ling Yuzi, who also reacted, turned pale in an instant. He excitedly covered his mouth and said to Xin Lailai in the soul space, and then -

……

83203: "However, it doesn't matter. With your current level, if your rune learning progress has not fallen behind, it should be enough to modify the spell storage framework of the World Book and allow it to carry your own domain spells."

……

Cold light blue text popped up on the communication channel, and when Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi saw the "rune progress" mentioned above, their heartbeats slowed down, and their faces began to reveal a gloomy look of despair, as if they had already guessed what 83203 would say next:
……

83203: "Well... bring the Book of the World here when you return this time. I need to personally confirm the situation in your domain. I hope that the great work you mentioned is not a boring product that makes me waste my time."

……

Click!!!

The last light blue text appeared, and Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi looked at the content, the smiles on their faces gradually froze there. That reaction was just like those college students in the real world who filled out their resumes carelessly and still passed the interview inexplicably, and finally found to be "surprised" that they were asked to start work immediately after the vacation.

After all, the progress of rune studies and so on... You have to know that the book "Basics of Rune Studies" given by the other party, they hardly ever flipped through it after coming out of the Overlord world!
