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

"I heard that if a Level 3 Archmage successfully advances to become a Morning Star Wizard, he can go to the Wizard Council to receive his own Morning Star Gift."

Lynn slightly raised his head, his tone calm, and looked at the two Morning Star wizards before him.
"Does the southern branch of the Wizarding Council also have the authority to distribute gifts?"

His question, though seemingly a casual inquiry, was actually a plan he had been brewing in his mind for a long time.

Lynn originally planned to wait until the turmoil at the Meteor Council was completely over before releasing his Morning Star aura and formally contacting the Wizard Council.

But now, the situation has changed dramatically. The Nightmare Rift Valley has been completely wiped out, and the radicals have taken full control of the front line. The storm has evolved from an undercurrent into a raging tempest.

Clearly, this matter will not be resolved anytime soon.

At present, Nightshade Wizard and Whiteheart Tower Master are about to set off for the Southern Region Council branch.

If one can go along with it, it might be a safe and convenient shortcut.

However, he was in no hurry to reveal his intentions. If the Southern Region branch was not qualified to distribute Morning Star gifts, he would not have made a wasted trip.

However, no sooner had he asked his question than he was met with a harsh, cold laugh from the Nightshade Wizard.

"Ah……"

Like a rusty nail scraping against an iron plate, the laughter was sharp and unpleasant, carrying an undisguised mockery and disdain, as if Lynn's question itself was a ridiculous fantasy.

The Nightshade Wizard did not answer directly, but instead narrowed his withered eyes slightly.

The eerie, negative energy emanating from its eye sockets flickered like will-o'-the-wisps, and its gaze seemed to be scrutinizing a ridiculous corpse.

Clearly, Nightshade Wizard mistook Lynn for someone who overestimated himself and thought he could break through to the level of a third-tier archmage like Morningstar Wizard.

This is not surprising.

The transition from a Level 3 Archmage to a Morning Star Wizard is practically an insurmountable barrier in the entire wizarding system.

This is not only a leap in power level, but also a leap in the essence of life.

In the endless planes, even within advanced civilizations, those who advance from level three to level four are extremely rare.

Even mentors who are Morning Star wizards wouldn't dare guarantee that their students would successfully take this step.

As for Lynn, even though he was a disciple of the Spirit Eye Wizard, the Spirit Eye had been out of the public eye for many years and his status was far from what it used to be, so his disciple's promotion naturally did not attract much attention from others.

In fact, the Nightshade Wizard and the Spirit Eye Wizard had a neutral relationship; they were neither close nor hostile.

He shouldn't have treated Lynn with such sarcasm.

only……

Ever since he realized that "Green Forest Wizard" was just a facade created by Spirit Eye Wizard, the anger of being tricked had lingered in his heart.

He secretly regarded Lynn as part of that "lie," even though his rational mind told him that the other party was just a student, his emotions had already taken precedence.

That's why the Nightshade Wizard's attitude at this moment carried a hint of coldness mixed with contempt and mockery.

Compared to the Nightshade Wizard's sarcastic attitude, the White Heart Tower Master appeared much calmer.

His expression remained normal, and his tone was gentle, clearly not bothered by Lynn's "extra questions."

“Not bad.” Tower Master Bai Xin nodded slightly, his voice deep and steady. “The southern branch does indeed have the authority and qualification to distribute Morning Star gifts.”

He paused, gazing into the distance as if recalling a long journey, and slowly said:
"After all, the headquarters of the Wizarding Council is located in Star City... a truly mysterious place floating in the abyss of interstellar space, transcending the conventional rules of planes and time."

"Even a Morning Star Wizard, even one who possesses the ability to travel across realms and freely traverse the Southern, Eastern, Western, and even other dimensions... would still need more than ten years to personally make a round trip to headquarters. It is a journey so long that it is daunting, traversing not only geographical boundaries but also an extremely troublesome one."

"As for the City of Stars..."

Master Bai Xin sighed softly, his tone tinged with a mixture of awe and longing.

"That is no ordinary place. For a newly promoted Morning Star Wizard, it is still a threshold that cannot be easily crossed. It would be unwise to go there rashly."

"For this reason, the Wizarding Council established powerful branches in several core domains long before the Endless Era, responsible for receiving new Morning Star cultivators from various regions. For example, the Ocean City in the Western Regions is an academic holy port floating on the eternal waves; the Winter City in the Northern Regions is built on the frozen wasteland, where the cold wind freezes the starlight; and then there is the Heart of the Southern Regions, a mountain city built against the mountains, connected to the earth by its veins..."

Lynn listened quietly, his eyes gleaming.

He memorized every word of the White Heart Tower Master, even though these words seemed like common sense at first glance, they were like clearing away the fog for him.

Although he is now a Morning Star Wizard, he still knows very little about this new realm.

Most of what he possessed came from fragments of memories from the Spirit-Eyed Wizard, but those memories ultimately belonged to someone else, and were both one-sided and lacked a real-time understanding of the current situation.

Moreover, the Spirit Eye Wizard did not receive the Morning Star Gift at the Southern Region branch back then, so he knew very little about this.

In fact, for Morningstar wizards, working in isolation is no longer the mainstream approach.

At this level, knowledge no longer originates from books and experiments, nor can it be fully encompassed by classrooms and schools of thought.

The saying "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand" becomes especially true at the level of a Morning Star Wizard.

Every Morning Star Wizard is an independent star of knowledge.

Even if they have mentors, they will ultimately walk completely different paths.

Even under the personal guidance of those at a higher level, the resulting understanding and evolution of laws and techniques become a unique system.

At this stage, the best mentors are no longer others, but time, the world, and yourself.

Some Morning Star Wizards choose to travel thousands of miles, traversing countless worlds to comprehend the origins of heaven and earth; others hunt exotic creatures from other realms to temper their laws through battle; still others sink into the abyss of the void, seeking the light of the oldest truth in the universe...

And what about Lynn?

Since breaking through to the Morning Star Wizard level, he has almost always remained in the Temple of Life, never truly embarking on the journey that belongs to the Morning Star Wizard.

It seems that his path to the Morning Star will only officially begin after the events at the Meteorite Council are over and some miscellaneous matters are settled...

Of course, that's something to worry about later. As for now...

Lynn decided to accompany the two Morning Star wizards to the Wizarding Lands branch in the Southern Region, also known as the Mountain City...

"Cough cough..."

Lynn coughed twice to clear his throat. His gaze swept over the Nightshade Wizard before settling on the Tower Master of White Heart. He spoke slowly and carefully, his tone solemn:
"Although... the teacher is currently stationed in the Nightmare Rift Valley and cannot return for the time being, he will travel with the two of you to the Mountain City..."

He paused briefly at this point, his tone suddenly turning somber:

"But since this matter has already affected the balance of power in the entire Southern Region, our Temple of Life, as a Morning Star Wizarding force, naturally cannot stand idly by and remain uninvolved."

"Therefore... this time, I will personally go to the City of Mountains. Coincidentally, I recently made a breakthrough and fortunately crossed that shackle, officially entering... the ranks of the Morning Star Wizards." Before he finished speaking, the Nightshade Wizard couldn't help but let out a contemptuous sneer, a mocking look in his eyes.

He clearly took Lynn's remarks as a joke of arrogance and ignorance.

Even the usually gentle Tower Master Bai Xin frowned slightly.

They all knew that Lynn was only a level three archmage before, and if he hadn't been backed by the Temple of Life, he probably wouldn't have been worthy of speaking to them as an equal.

And now he's volunteering to go to the mountain city? How presumptuous!
Although white wizards are more rational and restrained than black wizards, they never deny it.

In this world, strength is the foundation of order, and the sole criterion for measuring status, voice, and even "whether one is worthy of being listened to."

Even within the same White Wizarding system, all beings below the Morning Star are considered mortals.

It is perfectly natural for those in higher positions to look down upon those in lower positions.

But just as their sneers had faded and their brows were furrowed, Lynn smiled calmly and slowly extended his right hand.

The next moment, he unleashed his true aura without any concealment...

The power of rules suddenly emerged!
It was a power aura completely different from that of a Grand Wizard, transcending the realm of magic and elements, and belonging to the level of rules.

A deep, verdant life force rose around him, swirling like morning mist, or like the first sprouting of grass and trees, or the gentle spring rain, giving rise to a strong vitality and rhythm in the silence.

Enveloped by this aura, the Nightshade Wizard's sneer abruptly ceased, and his expression froze.

The White Heart Tower Master's pupils contracted instantly, revealing an undisguised look of surprise.

They all felt that their own life rhythms were subtly changing.

The circulation of Qi and blood accelerates, the cells seem to be activated, and even the subtle fatigue deep in the soul slowly fades away.

For the two Morning Star wizards, it was naturally easy for them to determine that Lynn was using the power of rules!

It's a rule related to life that's quite rare even in the realm of dark wizards...

Of course, it is worth mentioning that Lynn only slightly released his "creation rules" at this moment, which manifested as a life aura, and only allowed the two of them to sense it.

If he were to actually make a move, the life force at that moment would be "excessive," causing discomfort to the two Morning Star Wizards.

Of course, if that were the case, then it would be an enemy battle. Lynn is merely demonstrating his strength, nothing more...

However, even though Lynn did not deliberately control the released power of the rules, allowing that aura to spread out "slightly excessively," it did not trigger any backlash or hostility.

At this moment, Nightshade Wizard and Whiteheart Tower Master were already stunned, as if time had frozen, their eyes filled with shock, confusion and intense disbelief.

They were not ordinary people, but two Morning Star Wizards who had already reached high positions.

He himself had emerged from the brink of death countless times, overcoming numerous obstacles and being tempered into steel, before finally crossing the rule gate known as the "second reincarnation of a wizard" and being able to glimpse the origin of the law.

In their respective life journeys, they were once renowned talents, legendary figures who could stand out from the crowd.

But now, that young man they once looked down upon, that "Grand Wizard of the Green Forest" with only a faint reputation, an ordinary background, and absolutely no prior experience...

Surprisingly, they've already reached a level above theirs!
With my own strength, I will step into the morning star!

That chasm, like an insurmountable barrier, lies between the Great Wizard and the Morning Star, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle of destiny for all wizards.

The rise of each Morning Star Wizard is like igniting a raging flame of destiny, exhausting flesh, soul, will, and even lifespan, before they can seize a wisp of their own primordial radiance in the sea of ​​rules.

But what about Lynn?

His background is so faint as to be almost negligible.

Although his exact age is uncertain, he should still be considered quite young.

What shocked the two even more was that the earliest record of Lynn's master-disciple relationship with the Spirit Eye Wizard was only a few decades ago.

At that time, the Spirit Eye Forge had not yet been destroyed, and the Spirit Eye Wizard had only ever taken on one disciple, the well-known little princess.

Lynn's name had never appeared in the sights of these Morning Star forces until decades ago.

what does this mean?
This means that when Lynn truly began his training and was accepted as a disciple by the Spirit Eye Wizard, he was probably just a weakling who had just entered the ranks of wizards, and might not even have reached the level of a second-level wizard!

From an ordinary level two wizard, he broke through to level three grand wizard and then stepped into level four Morning Star in just a few decades...

This speed of breakthrough... is simply unheard of, it's terrifying!
This is not something that falls into the category of "talent," but an outright miracle!
Master Bai Xin's hand trembled slightly, without him even noticing.

The Nightshade Wizard, on the other hand, frowned deeply, his expression extremely complex, as if he had been struck dumb, his mind heavy.

Especially since he had just mocked and humiliated this "Great Wizard of Qinglin," he felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Perhaps only a wizarding genius, one in a thousand years, could achieve such a feat!
Furthermore, it can be concluded that in the future, this Great Wizard of Qinglin—no, for now, he should be respectfully addressed as the Wizard of Qinglin…

The potential for this rule to extend is enough to support him as he climbs all the way up to the peak of the Morning Star!

He... won't stop here.

This newly promoted Morning Star Wizard is very likely to break through to the fifth level, or even... the sixth level in the future!
That's a rare figure in the entire wizarding world, a big shot who can dominate a region!

Nightshade Wizard was shocked, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Such a gifted individual was actually taken under the wing of that old fellow Lingmou...

"……hateful."

He roared inwardly, but he knew that no matter how jealous or envious he was, he could only suppress all his emotions at this moment.

Because the one standing before them was no longer the third-level Grand Wizard they could verbally humiliate, ridicule, and mock just moments before: "Grand Wizard Qinglin".

Instead, he is the great Morning Star Wizard, "Green Forest Wizard," who can traverse the heavens, establish star gates, and conduct interdimensional expeditions!
A rising star in the Southern Region!

In fact, this is also why they didn't know Lynn's true breakthrough time and cultivation time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't still be able to maintain this composure at this moment; they would have completely lost their composure.

After all, from mortal to Morning Star Wizard, from weak to strong, he has traversed so many realms and broken through so many thresholds along the way...

The total effective time may not even be a hundred years!
This isn't just some Morning Star genius, it's a once-in-a-millennium Radiant Moon genius...

Such talent, let alone at the dividing line between black and white wizards in the Southern Region, even within the black wizard territories and the white wizard territories, would place him among the top geniuses of his era! (End of Chapter)
