I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 142 This is the power of numbers!
Golden Harbor, where Jemin’s former private residence now awaits the initial completion of the “Golden Garden”.

Under strict planning, tens of thousands of residents outside the city worked hard, gradually outlining the garden from the flat land.

Meanwhile, Jemin "exiled" himself to the deep underground laboratory of the mansion.

This was his true paradise; the cold metal tabletops, the mountains of rune scrolls, and the various sophisticated alchemical instruments formed the world he knew best.

David's research notes now lie quietly on his workbench, becoming a new cornerstone for his in-depth study of the Erosian plane's divine power belief network.

While David's research is not as in-depth as Jemin's in its analysis of the network of divine power beliefs, it offers a completely different perspective.

David's focus is on the underlying logic of human emotions, the nature of the power of faith, and how to effectively incite and guide these forces.

This insightful analysis of the "source" enlightened Jemin, as if opening a completely new door.

Prior to this, his research on the divine power belief network focused on energy transmission.

However, the official name for the entire divine power belief network should actually be called the Energy Transmission and Conversion System—in addition to transmission, there is also conversion.

This allowed Jemin to make rapid progress in his research on the energy conversion system within the Erosian Plane God Power Belief Network, like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, and he quickly achieved amazing results.

"This is it, adjusting it like this should fix everything..."

In the center of the laboratory, Jemin was intently adjusting a suspended metal disc in front of him.

This is the elemental storage type rune artifact he created earlier.

However, compared to before, the metal disc now features some obscure and complex patterns in slightly different colors.

These newly added patterns are the latest results that Jemin has created after conducting in-depth research on the divine power belief network.

They intertwine with the original rune system, like two different life forms coexisting in the same body, creating a wondrous harmony.

His improvements not only increased the storage capacity of elemental storage rune artifacts, but most importantly, significantly enhanced their recovery effects and greatly reduced the difficulty of replenishing elemental pools.

It should be noted that in the past, elemental storage-type rune artifacts required a special charging device or long-term guidance from Jemin himself to be fully charged.

But now, with the newly developed technology, it can rely entirely on its own effects to continuously absorb elements from the outside world to recharge itself!

This means that this magical artifact can almost be self-sufficient without additional energy supply.

Soon, Jemin adjusted the metal disc and confirmed that all runes were activated and the energy circuit was stable.

He carefully carried it deep into the laboratory, into a testing ground shrouded in multiple magical protective arrays.

He personally set up this magic array to conduct high-risk experiments, which can isolate all internal energy fluctuations and prevent accidents from happening.

"Self-charging mode activated."

At his command, the newly added patterns on the metal disc lit up instantly, emitting a faint glow.

The magical artifact began to spin at high speed, emitting a deep hum.

The next moment, the instrument clearly showed that the elemental power in the test field was completely absorbed in an instant, and the space that was originally filled with various elements suddenly became like a vacuum.

This phenomenon didn't surprise Jemin much, since other rune artifacts could achieve the same effect when launched.

However, something truly astonishing happened!

The protective magic array barrier surrounding the metal disc also began to shake violently, and the light of the runes on its surface quickly dimmed.

The protective barrier even became transparent rapidly, as if it could collapse at any moment!
As Jemin watched this scene unfold, his pupils constricted sharply, and then his face lit up with an unimaginable radiance.

"This...this is..." Jemin's brain raced, countless thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning.

He rushed to the monitoring equipment, and looking at the various data displayed on it, an excited expression involuntarily appeared on his face:

"After using the technology researched by the Divine Power Faith Network, this elemental storage type rune artifact, in its self-charging mode, actually forcibly plunders the elemental power condensed by the surrounding already formed magic?!"

This can no longer be called "absorption," but should be called "plunder"!
Ordinary absorption simply extracts the elemental power that is free in the atmosphere and has not yet been utilized.

"Plunder" is the act of forcibly extracting elements from a magical structure that has already been bound and exploited!

Although the "plundering" effect exhibited by this talismanic artifact is not yet very strong and cannot truly destroy a powerful magical array, it already signifies an extremely terrifying possibility.

If designed properly, this thing can even create a fairly effective magic-suppressing zone in its self-charging mode!

Any wizard who casts a spell near it will risk having their elemental energy extracted and their power weakened.

"This is not right..."

After the initial excitement, a look of doubt flickered in Jemin's eyes. Although everyone was keeping the core technology a closely guarded secret, it was clear from the available knowledge that no wizard, in their research on the divine power faith network, had yet developed such a "plundering" effect.

This is to be expected, since the divine power faith network is essentially an energy conversion and transmission system, not a plundering system; the two are fundamentally different.

After thinking it over, Jemin contacted his mentor Clark and ordered a standard-model level 6 small elemental pool from him.

The element pool itself is a fairly standardized mass-produced product, and it also reserves many modules for customers to modify themselves.

Jemin intends to use this as a reference to further verify his conjecture.

A few days later, the standard-sized miniature elemental pool was delivered to Jemin via a teleportation array within the camp.

Jemin couldn’t wait to take it apart and then try to add the same technique to the element pool.

Jemin cautiously activated the modified element pool to conduct a trial test.

After activation, it indeed enhanced the efficiency of charging from the elemental plane, and its energy collection speed was several times faster than before the modification.

But this was exactly the expected result, and it is similar to the findings of other wizarding civilizations' research on faith networks.

However, it did not have the same amazing "plundering" effect as his previous elemental storage rune artifacts.

The protective array remained as stable as Mount Tai, completely unmoved.

"There's definitely something fishy going on." Jemin's heart sank.

This proves that the problem does not lie entirely in the technology of the Divine Power Belief Network itself.

As for where the problem lies, it is obvious—the internal structure of this elemental pool is a pure wizard civilization rune system, without any imprints from cultivation civilizations.

His talismanic artifacts, in addition to the runes of the wizarding civilization, also contain runes from the cultivation civilization!
The combination of the two produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

"But... why did this happen?" Jemin disconnected the magic network, his brow furrowed, and buried himself once again in his runes and notes.

He meticulously reviewed every step of his research, every source of inspiration, and every detail.

After several sleepless nights of in-depth research, he finally found a relatively suitable explanation.

The main reason for this effect lies in the difference in how wizard civilizations and immortal cultivation civilizations utilize power.

The wizard civilization obtains power by manipulating external elements with mental energy.

They combine spiritual energy with external elements by constructing sophisticated magical models, and then amplify the energy through these models to make it work more effectively.

Judging from the power mobilized, the external elements manipulated by the wizard civilization using mental power are roughly in a 1:1 energy ratio.

The reason why the wizard civilization was able to stand out among the many civilizations in the multiverse is that the wizards had a precise control and efficient use of energy.

By recognizing and accumulating knowledge about the rules of the world, and by utilizing different methods, the effects produced by these elements can ultimately be multiplied.

Simply put, a wizard can exert one part of power to achieve the effect of ten parts, or even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of parts.

The cultivation of immortality is completely different.

Cultivators mainly rely on their own power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth in the outside world, resonating with the natural forces of the outside world.

Their efforts can only achieve a fraction of the desired effect.

However, every bit of their power can resonate with and draw upon hundreds or thousands of times more power from the outside world, thus achieving the same effect!

In other words, cultivators excel at resonating with and mobilizing external forces.

“This is my real advantage!” Jemin slammed his hand on the table, his eyes shining with an unprecedented light.

The energy harvesting technology developed from the divine power belief network is essentially about improving the efficiency of energy transmission and conversion.

When this highly efficient transformation technology unique to wizard civilization is combined with the powerful ability of the talismans of immortal cultivation civilization to mobilize external forces, an unexpected "chemical reaction" occurs!
The talismans used in cultivation enhance the "resonance" between the talismanic artifacts and external elements, enabling them to draw upon the energy in the environment at a deeper level.

The transformation technology of the Divine Power Faith Network further enhances the efficiency and "aggressiveness" of this energy transformation, enabling it to not only draw from "free" elements, but also to forcibly "plunder" from energy structures that have already been "occupied".

This is not just a technological breakthrough; it is the most brilliant spark ignited by the collision of two civilizations in Jemin!

This finally made Jemin understand why his talisman artifact was so powerful.

If a first-level wizard can make one element ten times more effective, then a Foundation Establishment cultivator can use one unit of power to draw upon ten units of external power.

Jemin's talisman artifact combines the advantages of both sides, which is equivalent to using one power to attract ten external powers, and at the same time, it can make each of those ten powers ten times more effective!
