The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 279 Morning Star Wizard
Chapter 279

The flow of time between the Wizarding World and Dimension 001 is not the same; the difference is a full thirty times!
On plane 001, two moons shine together, their cycles endless.

The bright silver moon and the pale blue ice moon shuttled back and forth in the sky, circling again and again, day and night alternating, the sun and moon taking turns.

Time flows by slowly like water.

After countless days and nights, Lynn's breakthrough was finally nearing its end.

At this moment, he sat quietly cross-legged on the second bright moon.

Beneath him lay the cold, silent moon rock, while the moonlight, falling from the sky like a gentle rain, bathed him in a dreamlike glow, making him appear like a slumbering deity under the moon.

Surrounding him on all four sides—east, west, south, and north—four energy pools, like altars, shimmered with a faint light. Each pool churned with primordial power of a different attribute:

The earth's brownish-yellow power is like a steady mountain range;

The deep blue waters of the source tide are as still as an abyss;
The crimson essence of flames, like burning molten lava;

The aura of blue wind flowed around his body like a serpent.

These four energy factors, derived from the origins of nature, slowly flowed into Lynn's body, radiating and tempering his physical form.

It also surged into his spiritual realm like a tide, nourishing the fourth-level permanent sorcery mark, the Song of Creation, located at its core.

At the same time, a faint gray light was constantly rising on his skin, swirling like flowing mist and as steady as sand.

This is the "Martial Immortal Body" operating autonomously!
It was subtly propelling Lynn's physical body through subtle transformations, slowly and gradually crossing the threshold of the wizard's physical limitations.

Compared to the initial breakthrough, the once violent and earth-shattering energy tide has now subsided considerably.

The elemental power gushing from the four energy pools now amounts to less than one percent of its peak value.

The once surging, ocean-like energy has transformed into a trickle, as if giving final nourishment to prepare for the impending sublimation.

Everything seems to be nearing its end.

Right now!

Lynn's eyes suddenly opened!

However, it did not exhibit the explosive phenomena of spiritual surge and sharp brilliance characteristic of the third-level archmage era.

Yes, there is only a sense of calm.

A kind of calm and composure that is as vast as the ocean and as all-encompassing as the void.

He just sat there, without any aura emanating from him, as if he were just an ordinary mortal.

His composed demeanor and unassuming ordinariness made it even more difficult for people to grasp his true state of mind at that moment.

"My spiritual realm...is as vast as the starry sky..."

Lynn whispered, as if murmuring, or perhaps reflecting on himself.

He closed his eyes and sensed the boundless spiritual ocean, the sky and earth formed by spiritual power, which was quietly expanding, rising and spreading as his realm broke through!
"No matter how immense the spiritual power, it can be easily contained within it... This is an unprecedented level of inclusiveness..."

He exhaled a long breath, as if expelling the entire world from his body.

At this moment, he finally understood why he had not experienced that fierce and violent phenomenon after breaking through to the Morning Star Realm.

Because his spiritual world has transcended the linear growth of the mundane world and entered a higher-dimensional qualitative change.

It is no longer a sharp edge built up by sheer strength, but a realm that truly stands alone, possessing both "breadth" and "depth"!

That is the true spiritual realm of the starry sky, possessed only by Morning Star Wizards, as vast and boundless as the starry sky itself.

At the same time, Lynn slowly got up and stood up from his seated position.

This action seemed ordinary, but as he stood up, a series of crisp yet muffled sounds rang out from inside his body.

"Crack...knock..."

The sounds of bones colliding, muscles writhing, and fascia pulling rose and fell, as if an invisible force was reorganizing and tempering him within his body.

Unlike the sound of bones grinding together, these sounds are like the clanging of metal, as if steel is colliding with each other, carrying a metallic weight and a sense of power.

Lynn looked down at his hands, a hint of surprise and emotion flashing in his eyes.

"My physical body... has already reached the level of a third-level Grand Wizard in the 'Martial Immortal Body'."

He muttered to himself, his voice barely concealing his shock.

This breakthrough in spiritual realm, despite his primary focus on the spiritual domain, also resulted in a leapfrog improvement in his physical body solely through passively radiated elemental factors.

From a Level 1 Body Refining Wizard, he rose all the way to a Level 3 Body Refining Grand Wizard!
What a terrifying change!

Although the effects of the "Martial Immortal Body" are undeniable, even so, it is enough to reveal:

Just how amazing is the overall improvement brought about by advancing from a Level 3 Archmage to a Morning Star Wizard!

"The only pity is..."

"The Body of a Martial Immortal is still one step away... It is not yet complete."

Lynn shook his head and smiled, but there was no disappointment in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of satisfaction.

After all, the physical benefits brought about by this mental breakthrough alone are equivalent to saving countless resources and a long period of cultivation time.

If it weren't for this stroke of luck, he wouldn't know how many more precious materials he would have had to expend to elevate his physical body to its current level.

"Next... just follow the steps, purchase the corresponding resources, and you can continue to hone your physique."

He slowly opened his right hand, his knuckles slightly bent, and a tight and surging power emanated from between his metacarpal bones, as if the void would shatter with just a gentle grip.

Of course, this is just an illusion. To tear through the void with one's physical body, one would probably need a body at the level of a Morning Star Wizard, and only in a low-level plane world like this...

"Next... it's time to return to the wizarding world..."

Lynn stretched out his palms, feeling the strength of his entire body, and spoke softly.

Now that he has broken through to the level of Morning Star Wizard, he is able to do more and more things in the wizarding world.

First, he needed to deal with matters related to the Wizarding Council and the power of the world's origin.

Under normal circumstances, if a breakthrough were to occur on the native soil of the wizarding world, the intense spiritual fluctuations and resonance with the origin would have already attracted the attention and concern of the Wizarding Council.

There might even be special inspectors delivering "Morning Star Promotion" invitations for record-keeping and filing.

But this time, he made the breakthrough in dimension 001.

Because this plane is separated from the Wizarding World by a barrier and there is a difference in the flow of time, none of the primordial ripples that should have been triggered, nor the monitoring mechanisms of the Wizarding Council, were ever activated.

"However, this is not a difficult matter."

"Once I return to the wizarding world, I will contact the Wizarding Council to update the information."

Besides reporting to the Wizarding Council and receiving the gifts of the world's origin.

Lynn had another extremely important gain waiting for him.

He can finally rightfully inherit the entire legacy of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard!
As someone who inherited the memories of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard, Lynn knew that the former Morning Star powerhouse had not stored all his resources in the Wizarding World. Quite the opposite.

In that alternate dimension that has not yet been fully conquered, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard left behind a wealth of strategic resources:
An interdimensional purification device, an activated floating fortress, and a large amount of resources and materials seized during the conquest campaign...

These things might only be mid-stage accumulation for Lingmou, but for Lynn who has just broken through, they mean something else entirely.

Skip the long foundational stage and complete the initial accumulation of Dawn Star Wizard skills!

These resources would save other Morning Star wizards countless years of planning and cultivation.

"certainly……"

"Before dealing with the Wizard Council and the legacy of the Spirit Eye, there is something more important."

Lynn's gaze narrowed slightly, and a name came to mind: the origin tracing plan targeting the Meteor Council.

This is a large-scale purge operation spearheaded by the Wizarding Council and jointly launched by several top forces in the southern region, with its target being the Meteor Council!

Lynn hadn't forgotten that the Nightshade Wizard had personally contacted him, inviting him to participate.

This operation has already been quietly launched, bringing together the strength of several heavyweight organizations such as the Forgestone, Nightmare Rift, and Temple of Life, including several Morning Star Wizards.

Lynn's Temple of Life is located in a sensitive area where dark wizards and white wizards meet.

That area was also the stronghold of the radical opposition to the Meteor Council, as determined by the Wizard Council!

This means that whether Lynn likes it or not, he and the Temple of Life are destined to be caught up in this storm.

“In the past, it was the Spirit Eye Wizard who was in charge of intelligence coordination and support for the Temple of Life.”

"Now... with my entry into Dawnstar, I can finally take the lead in this battleground myself."

Lynn did not reject this situation.

On the contrary, he even had a faint sense of anticipation.

This was a wizard war that was enough to shake the southern continent, and all the participants were highly accomplished and had astonishing backgrounds.

Nightshade Wizard once revealed that in this joint operation, a dominant force from the White Wizarding Realm also participated: the Seven Saints Tower!

This is a behemoth no less powerful than the Forgestone, and it holds an extremely high position and prestige in the world of white wizards.

A war has drawn the attention of the main factions of both the black and white wizards.

For Lynn, this was nothing short of an excellent opportunity to observe.

"This is a good opportunity...to go through all the major powers in the southern region and broaden my horizons..."

Lynn is no longer the cautious, self-reliant, and reckless third-level archmage he once was.

Morningstar wizards are long-lived and energetic; it is common for them to spend a century plotting.

He must break free from the confines of the wizard's tower and step onto the chessboard of the world.

....................................

The Wizarding World, Southern Region.

If you look down at the earth from the heavens above, you can see clearly:

The entire southern continent seemed to have been cleaved in two by an invisible blade, splitting into two distinct territories:
One is the domain of the Black Wizards, and the other is the territory of the White Wizards.

Between these two continents lies an extremely long and complex natural dividing line, like a crack deep in the earth, winding and stretching for thousands of miles.

This dividing line runs across the southern region, encompassing towering mountains, poisonous swamps shrouded in perpetual fog, deep abyssal ravines that pierce the earth, and desolate wastelands where not a blade of grass grows.

It appears to be naturally formed, but in reality, it was created by human hands.

In ancient times, the black wizards and white wizards had a blood feud that lasted for generations. They were constantly in conflict with each other, and wars broke out frequently. The earth was stained red with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Just as a decisive battle was about to tear the southern region of the wizarding world apart, a Radiant Moon from the Wizarding Council suddenly appeared.

This Radiant Moon Lord, carrying the highest order from the Wizarding Council, intervened in the battle with the absolute power of the Radiant Moon, forcibly ending the war between the two sides.

He single-handedly changed the world!

Starlight falls, mountains and rivers tremble.

He forcefully tore the plains in the center of the battlefield apart, raised the earth, created mountains, and unleashed chaotic magic, forming a poisonous swamp desert.

In the end, a man-made chasm stood across it, completely separating the black and white realms!

The once vast and flat passageways, which could accommodate large armies, have all been transformed into deadly and desperate places filled with danger.

This dividing line was thus recorded in history and is known as the "Broken Line of the Shining Moon".

………………

As time passed and eras changed, the situation in the southern region gradually stabilized.

It wasn't that the black wizards and white wizards had reconciled, but rather that the external threats had suddenly intensified.

Crises from outside the wizarding world surged forth, forcing the Black and White Realms to temporarily set aside their internal conflicts and join forces to fight the enemy.

Against this backdrop, this line, which was once the dividing line between life and death, has gradually lost the grimness and vigilance of wartime.

It was no longer a war-torn front, but a blurry, chaotic gray area.

With relaxed controls and intertwined power dynamics, more and more gray wizards, black market merchants, and fringe organizations have become active here, roaming between the rift valley and the swamp, forming a unique no-man's-land ecosystem.

In this unsupervised crevice, the most eye-catching existence is the "Nightmare Rift Valley".

This is a neutral zone personally established by His Majesty the Radiant Moon, built upon the ruins of the old battlefield, possessing a unique and transcendent status.

Even the dominant forces in the territories of black and white wizards have to give him some face and won't go in to arrest the fugitives they're hunting.

It belongs neither to the black wizards nor the white wizards, and is not subject to interference from the regular wizarding council.

This provided a safe haven and trading ground for wizarding forces that straddled the line between right and wrong, whose beliefs were confused and whose behavior crossed the line.

As a result, over the long course of time, a unique power structure gradually formed in this area.

………………

Given the current situation, it seems both reasonable and inevitable that the Meteor Council would choose to establish its headquarters in this lawless region.

This organization was hated by black wizards, rejected by white wizards, and even identified as a destabilizing factor by the Wizarding Council.

Unable to stand on either of the two major camps, it can only retreat to this gray dividing line and hide on this winding "dividing line".

Within the Hall of Life, accompanied by the shimmering light of a star gate, Lynn's figure returned to the Wizarding World from Dimension 001.

Having just returned, he didn't even have time to manage the internal affairs of the Temple of Life, and directly handed it over to trustworthy people such as the Great Wizard Helen.

He himself rode the dragon directly away from the Temple of Life, heading straight for the location of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard.

According to his intuition, the Wizarding Council's major operation against the Meteor Council had already begun...
