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

Chapter 74 Rest
On the contrary, exploring new dimensions carries too much uncertainty.

If they accidentally encounter a plane with unique rules, the advance team might even disappear before they can send out a message.

Of course, the probability of encountering such an absurd plane is very small, but most planes will still cause considerable losses when you first come into contact with them.

Watching those young faces, some excited, some apprehensive, walk into the teleportation array, the light illuminating them as they disappeared, a sense of感慨 arose in Jemin's heart.

Over the course of ten years, the academy has been like a giant furnace, selecting and forging batches of talents before sending them to a wider, more brutal world.

After the farewell ceremony, the square fell into a brief silence.

Then, the teleportation array on the other side began to light up.

Those were wizards returning from the front lines.

Jemin and his two companions mingled in the crowd, watching the returning wizards walk out of the teleportation array.

They were quite different from the old apprentices who had just left. Most of these people bore the marks of time, with sharp and weathered eyes, and a faint aura of blood and fire emanating from them.

Their robes were mostly worn and tattered from battle, making them look somewhat disheveled.

But they themselves are like a sharpened blade, flamboyant and dangerous.

Several senior wizards from the academy stood before the teleportation array, greeting them with solemn and dignified expressions.

Having been tempered on the battlefield, these people are now the backbone of the academy.

Amy and Victor discussed in hushed tones the strength and dimensional experiences of the returned wizards, their eyes filled with awe.

Jemin remained silent, silently sensing the power fluctuations of these returning wizards.

Most of them were Level 3 certified wizards, and a few were even Level 4 wizards, far surpassing the returning wizards they had seen when they first enrolled.

"It seems... the benefits in the Shadow Plane are indeed great. So many wizards of level three or above have emerged in such a short time, which at least shows that the resources in this plane are abundant. No wonder the academy is willing to pay such a high price." Jemin pondered silently to himself.

Suddenly, Jemin stopped abruptly.

There was a figure at the back of the crowd.

He looked unremarkable, dressed in a simple wizard's robe without any fancy decorations.

He had no obvious scars on his face, nor did he exude any overt ferocity. He simply stood there quietly, like an ordinary stone.

However, in Jemin's perception, there were no perceptible energy fluctuations within that person's body!
In Jemin's perception, it was as if that place was a vacuum, independent of this world!
This feeling was very familiar to Jemin, because he had experienced it with many of his mentors—it was a sense of being completely integrated into the rules, of becoming a part of them.

This means that the other party has absolute suppression over me in terms of realm, which is a huge gap in the level of life!

He took a deep breath, barely able to contain his shock.

This is... a level five wizard?!

Even in a wizarding civilization teeming with experts, a level 5 wizard is sufficient to serve as the backbone of an offensive force.

If level three and four wizards are the elite of the entire wizarding civilization, then level five wizards are the high-ranking figures who can wield power.

At Norren Academy, apart from Clark, who is a level six wizard, all the other wizard instructors are only level five.

Most importantly, judging from the badge on this wizard's body, he is also one of the returning old apprentices.

In a mere five years, he could rise from a first-level official wizard to a fifth-level wizard...

"Damn, is he cheating?" Jemin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Even if he had cheats, he wouldn't dare to play like this at such a speed.

Just then, the level five wizard that Jemin was watching suddenly turned to look at him, the power in his eyes making Jemin's hair stand on end. "What's wrong with you?" Amy noticed that his emotions seemed a little off and turned to ask.

"It's nothing, I'm probably just a little tired."

Seeing that the wizard glanced at him and then looked away, Jemin breathed a sigh of relief and made up a random excuse to brush it off.

Amy and Victor exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes, but neither of them said anything.

Jemin stopped paying attention to the new level 5 wizard, but after this incident, he lost interest in continuing his tour.

I couldn't help but look up at the sky, my gaze wandering.

Now he finally understood why Clark's tone had sounded a little strange when Clark mentioned the third solution during their conversation.

……

……

Back in the lab, Jemin sat cross-legged and focused his mind on introspection.

The Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, now in its initial stages of completion, floated quietly in Jieming's dantian. It was no longer an illusory light and shadow in his spiritual sea, but a tangible and substantial existence, warm and translucent, with five-colored conceptual light flowing within it.

Successfully refining it is only the first step; what follows is a long nurturing phase.

Every day, Jieming would dedicate a portion of his pure true essence and divine consciousness to nurture this Heart Mirror again and again, like the most meticulous craftsman.

True essence washed over the mirror like warm spring water, while divine sense penetrated deep into the magic treasure, carefully sorting out the threads of the five concepts of light, trying to make them more closely connected and gradually become a unified whole.

This is a slow and meticulous process; it cannot be rushed.

He had to persevere. Even though he was exhausted for the past two weeks, Jieming did not give up on nurturing the magic weapon.

He could feel that with each day of nurturing, the light within his mind became softer, and the conflicts between concepts gradually subsided, replaced by a wonderful resonance and fusion.

The magical artifact seemed to come alive, slowly growing under his nurturing, waiting for the opportunity to transform.

"Phew... I've been busy for half a month straight. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. It's time to take a good rest for a while."

Having been exhausted these past few days, Jieming also noticed a slight imbalance in his energy and spirit.

Instead of rushing to the next stage of cultivation or research, he unusually slowed down his pace.

He didn't even attend the freshman orientation ceremony, but instead stayed in his laboratory to clear his mind and even took a long-awaited nap.

Occasionally, I would open the Magic Network terminal to check my points balance, then sit by the window and watch the busy figures of the new apprentices below.

……

……

He spent some time in this state of despair until one day, Jemin suddenly opened his eyes while reclining in his chair.

He looked up at the laboratory ceiling, and after a while, he got off the recliner and looked at his palms with a hint of curiosity.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly felt clear-headed and refreshed, his body felt relaxed and comfortable, and he experienced an indescribable sense of joy.

It wasn't that his cultivation had made a breakthrough; it was simply that his essence, energy, and spirit had been re-harmonized, and it was also because his magic weapon had finally entered the first stage of formation.

"Looks like my vacation is over."
