Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 623 Night Meteor and the Sacred Dragon Star
"Tch..." The Thief Saint Wizard was no longer as composed as before.

At that moment, all the botanical wizards in the entire Cloud Arena felt their magical power suppressed and weakened as soon as the witch Catherine used the crown magic.

The so-called Crown Magic is the ability to suppress all similar magical forces in the surrounding area, making one's own magic the sole criterion for all similar magic in the surrounding area.

As outstanding individuals on the path to truth...

Dominate the world!
As a result, the smaller the area magic is closest to the crown magic, the more it will be affected.

Botanical wizards only felt slightly affected, experiencing only physical discomfort. But if a wizard, like Catherine the Witch, studied the same niche, their magical power would be completely suppressed.

Even the Thief Saint Wizard dared not directly confront the Crown Magic here. If his twin siphon organs were functioning normally, then he could risk giving it a try.

The Thief Wizard glanced at one of his second-circle dark wizards, who had successfully stolen the target, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He then turned to the witch Catherine and said, "The Twin Demon Realms are the Fire Thieves, a magical world that gives all those in this world who lack talent a chance."

"The fire-stealers will always exist."

“The Twin Demon Realms have existed since the dawn of civilization.”

"Just as the sun is destined to appear in a living world, this is a truth. Your white wizarding society cannot deny it!"

The legendary thief licked his lips. "My meeting with the witch Catherine today wasn't really about Mount Golden Crown; it was for another purpose. Now that the goal has been achieved, this is an apology..."

Behind the Thief Wizard, a passage between the Twin Demon Realms appeared. Within that passage, there seemed to be the throat of an animal, concealing some kind of terrifying tongue. Then, the Twin Demon Realms spat out a stream of magical energy.

Those energies were like shooting stars in the night.

"This meteor shower is an apology gift for Golden Crown Mountain. We stole it from another world, please accept it with a smile."

Just as the witch Catherine was about to continue her attack, she suddenly realized that because the other party had sent a night meteor towards her, she was able to easily break free from the powerful magic she had given to the thief wizard.

The Thief Wizard's Twin Siphon Organs returned to normal, allowing him to quickly steal the distance from several Black Wizards and bring them to the witch Catherine. He then took the opportunity to arrive at the entrance to the Twin Demon Realm's dimensional portal.

The shooting star plunged Mount Jinmian into darkness in an instant, and within that darkness, the shooting star twinkled.

The wizards of the Cloud Arena, all bewildered, sensed a stellar power within the night meteor that resonated with their own existence.

On arena number 1, Locke stood on the platform and saw the magnificent torrent of stars in the sky, as well as countless starlight falling and scattering around him.

It was as if it were the most beautiful scene in the world.

In the darkness, there is a river of shooting stars, their light falling like stars, an incredibly beautiful sight.

The wizards in the Cloud Arena were stunned. What seemed to them as stars in the void were actually hundreds or even thousands of years away, even by traveling in a void warship.

It would take a wizard of the first ring in the main world at least a decade to board a void warship and travel to a large colony in another plane cluster.

If the distance is even slightly far, it can take decades.

The void is so vast that even for wizards, traveling to other colonized planes requires a huge cost.

Therefore, observing and studying the stars requires a huge investment of time and effort.

But at this moment, this night meteor seemed to be a reflection of those star planes in the endless void, with countless star planes, and even some star worlds, moving within the night meteor.

Wizards were able to see a portion of these star worlds very easily.

Many third-circle wizards on Mount Golden Crown hesitated during the escape of the dark wizards from the Twin Demon Realms. They made a choice between pursuing and studying these star reflections, quickly ordering their students and disciples to immediately stop the pursuit and record the star map.

Write down as much as you can.

The two second-circle wizards at the Tower of Transmutation had bloodshot eyes. "Heavens! Just how much pressure are those dark wizards from the Twin Demon Realms under that they'd be willing to throw something like this out to ensure their safe escape? But what's their real purpose in coming here as a feint? Is it just to cause trouble?"

"Never mind others. The third-ring wizards are recording these panoramic star charts, while we second-ring wizards can focus on studying several planetary planes. It's a pity my astrology isn't very good, otherwise I would have gained even more."

The two of them are bloodline wizards, and recording the celestial planes can only play a supporting role for them. The wizards in the astrological magic sub-direction of the prophetic school will truly gain more.

Of course, because the star chart was so precious, most of them chose to study the star chart rather than pursue the enemy.

Meanwhile, the wizards of the Twin Demon Realms took this opportunity to begin their retreat.

Most first-ring wizards are not capable enough to study individual star planes, but they can sense the plane power and spirituality of star planes, which allows them to quickly improve their magic power. Since star planes have many uses, a large-scale event to share the benefits of the Night Meteor was held at Golden Crown Mountain.

Of course, the fourth-circle wizard of Golden Crown Mountain, the Wizard of Truth, immediately summoned the Black Hole Peach, creating a black hole to catch the night meteor.

Mount Jinmian will fully capture this nighttime meteor.

Locke, on the other hand, stood on the number 1 arena. At first, he simply absorbed the power of the stars in the night meteor to increase his magic power and make up for his shortcomings, but he soon discovered that his magic power had reached the limit of the first ring.

No matter how much you absorb it, it won't make much difference.

So he released the Forest Sanctuary, allowing the thousands of acres of forest and hundreds of first-ring demonic plants within it to absorb starlight, strengthen themselves, and guide his Forest Sanctuary to absorb the benefits of that night's meteor shower.

But soon, Locke summoned the Porcelain Moon and discovered that the Porcelain Moon resonated in a special way with certain planes within the Night Meteor.

'They are the lunar planes in the endless void!'

Locke realized what was happening. 'Those lunar planes were originally extremely far from the prime material plane. But because of this night meteor, they are now all exposed before me. I must seize this opportunity to observe the spiritual, magical, and other characteristics of those lunar planes.'

'Otherwise, I'll have to buy expensive astronomical equipment to conduct observations and improve my Porcelain Moon magic.'

The key point is, success isn't guaranteed!

Locke seized the opportunity, raised the Porcelain Moon, absorbed the power of the stars, and at the same time, a natural demonic eye appeared on his forehead. He also opened the Beast Panel to amplify the insight of his demonic eye and drank a bottle of Tyrant's Eye potion.

He focused on the three-month plane within the night meteor shower that resonated with his porcelain moon, and diligently observed it.

It records various magical fluctuations, spiritual fluctuations, and other attributes of the three-month plane, as well as their trajectories in the void. From this, at least three sets of first-level spell models were observed, and they can be combined to further improve the growth of the porcelain moon.

At the same time, the Golden Branch and the Little Vajra Date Hanging automatically flew out of their astral rings and transformed into the [Peach Bow Thorn Arrow], resonating with a star representing a sacred dragon in the Night Meteor.

Locke shifted his attention slightly and noticed a bright star among the night meteors, twinkling towards him.

Unlike other stars, this sacred dragon star seems to be actively responding to itself.

The Holy Dragon Star shot a beam of starlight toward its Peach Bow Thorn Arrow—an arrow of deviation, and also an arrow of change.

Locke quickly learned that, on every level, the Divine Dragon Star was just an ordinary star, but on a spiritual level, it represented the star of change.

Its appearance signifies that something transformative is about to happen.

Originally, if Locke wanted to observe this star, he would need to make some changes to attract its attention, which would require a great deal of effort.

But summoned by the night meteor, this mysterious star appeared directly in broad daylight.

This Night Meteor has greatly enhanced Locke's abilities!
The more powerful the wizard, the more they gain from it.

At this moment, Locke suddenly frowned. "Even with my current level of insight, it's impossible to directly observe the symbolism of the three-month plane and the Holy Dragon Star on the Force level. But if I could observe it, it would greatly improve the perfection of my two spells and my understanding of magic."

If it can be observed, it will produce a domino-level effect.

One can even use this as a core to create a series of spell models.

The problem is that even a second-circle wizard cannot observe the Force aspect of things with the naked eye.

It's absolutely impossible for me.

This is only possible using the Queen's Chessboard.

'Wait, the previous full moon growth technique could use the moon's gravity to bind the No. 2 Overlord Element, and I could even put a potion in it and use the moon's gravity to illuminate the earth.'

'I can still use Full Moon Growth to absorb moonlight from the three lunar planes I've observed. Then I can use the Queen's Chessboard to analyze them separately.'

Similarly, I can use the fourth full moon to grow and absorb the starlight of the Sacred Dragon Star.

Locke recited the incantation, and four full moons appeared around him.

Seven days ago, this was something I would never have been able to do, but I have improved a lot after this sports festival competition.

Indeed, using competitions as training is the easiest way to improve oneself.

This is probably because there is a goal in the first competition, and once a person has a short-term goal, they will keep working hard to achieve it.

Second, accumulate knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential.

This competition transformed all of Locke's previous accumulations into things that could enhance his magical power.

Even if it happened again, it wouldn't be as effective on Locke, because all the previous accumulation had been transformed into magical power at this moment.

Participating in competitions every day wouldn't be very meaningful.

At this moment, four moons appeared, absorbing the starlight from the sky. All four moons underwent some kind of change, and the power of the stars interacted with Locke's four full moons as they grew.

Locke then called out to the witch Camilla next to arena number 1, "Witch Camilla, do you have any ordinary witch porcelain I can borrow?"

"I can pay you at market price."

At this moment, the witch Camilla was also trying her best to absorb the power of the stars in the sky. However, her insight and accumulated knowledge were not as good as Locke's, so she could not directly observe a certain celestial plane. She could only absorb the power of the stars to improve some aspects of herself. At this moment, she heard Locke's call, glanced at the four full moons growing in front of Locke, and her expression was slightly speechless.

'This is the first time I've met a wizard even more opportunistic than me. He's got some nerve.' Camilla thought for a moment. 'But I don't seem to have a reason to refuse him. Anyway, we've already established a certain relationship after our last deal. What do I care about the feud between Nexus and Mount Goldencrown?'

"Every day I have to work my ass off for the City of Demons! Every year there are research and teaching evaluations, and if I don't pass, I could be fired. These are the only years I can relax a bit without worrying about being fired."

'I want to become a second-circle wizard, and I might need the help of many wizards then. Friendships are reciprocal, so making this friend now isn't a bad idea.'

The witch Camilla simply tossed four ordinary witch porcelains to Locke.

These shamanic porcelains have many cracks on their surface; this is ordinary shamanic porcelain, known as crackled shamanic porcelain.

Fine cracks naturally form on the surface of porcelain, a phenomenon known as crazing.

The shamanic porcelain in Locke's hands was a type of shamanic porcelain called ice-shard shamanic porcelain, which was exquisitely beautiful due to its surface covered with gold and iron wire patterns.

This reflects the aesthetic of Yunze Wetland.

Locke placed the four pieces of witch porcelain into the full moon growth.

These ordinary magical porcelains, unlike the constellation magical porcelains, cannot merge with their own magical moon and serve as an energy source to enhance their spells.

But that's enough to temporarily stabilize one's own magical moon, serving as the vessel for the magical moon.

This is different from my own porcelain moon, so I simply created four solidified full moon-grown magical moons and placed them within the porcelain.

At this moment, Locke also noticed that the sapling of the ancient tree of life in the center of his forest sanctuary was also absorbing and releasing a large amount of star power.

“Alright.” Locke’s eyes flickered. “I was already thinking about how to grow the Tree of Life from a seedling to the first stage, and I was even planning to ask Wizard Edgar about it.”

“He has experience.”

"But it seems that it's unnecessary now, as the level of this star power is sufficient and the quantity is unlimited."

"Absorb as much as you can, as long as this night meteor stays in the sky long enough!"

Locke opened the Druid's Ring, allowing the starlight to enter as much as possible into the forest sanctuary, where the sapling of the ancient tree of life was growing vigorously.

In the sky, the witch Catherine had no intention of observing the star map; her goal was to keep an eye on the thief wizard and pursue him relentlessly.

Seeing this, the Thief Saint Wizard gritted his teeth. "I've returned all your great magic. I've also withdrawn my troops. What more do you want?"

"Do you really have to kill us all, Ekaterina?!"

A cold glint flashed in Catherine the Witch's eyes; she was so ruthless, unleashing all her magic with a deadly intent.

The sole purpose was to kill this third-ring wizard of the Twin Demon Realms, a master thief.

The title "Thief Saint" corresponds to the throne.

The thief wizard suddenly realized something: the witch Catherine didn't care about recording the star map at all; what she wanted was his head.

What is needed is the corresponding credit.

Throughout this incident, Catherine the Witch has already elevated her status considerably, and once he is killed, her power on Mount Golden Crown will be even greater.

Her student won a spot in the Plane Conquest Tournament!

'She spearheaded the victory in this demon war against the Twin Demon Realms!'

'Her power expanded with each victory. This woman… I only wanted to steal the students' talent, but she wanted to take all the power.'

The Thief Saint Wizard's gaze was cold as he barely managed to escape, his figure disappearing into the dimensional passage of the Twin Demon Realms, which resembled a throat.

'Catherine the Witch, your existence proves one thing—we dark wizards are nothing compared to you white wizards.'

As long as authority exists, so will thieves.

'You're the real master thief.'

As the witch Catherine watched the thief wizard disappear, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She was so close to killing this master thief and securing a complete victory in her operation.

Moreover, there's one thing she needs to figure out.

The Twin Demon Realms' recent small-scale demon war was somewhat anticlimactic. They attempted to seize the talents of those wizarding geniuses, but the plan failed after only a few successes.

Although it has indeed been proven that that method can be used to partially achieve the plundering talent.

Therefore, the Twin Demon Realms must have other purposes.

Catherine the Witch also wanted to figure out their purpose, because only by knowing could she obtain the corresponding power.

As a wizard of the Third Ring who lives in the past and is likely to become a wizarding king, a large part of Catherine the Witch's desire to explore mysteries stems from her greed for power.

The witch Catherine stood in mid-air with her hands behind her back, and a pair of red dragon wings were behind her.

The golden dragon asked from behind Catherine the Witch, "Aren't you going to observe the star charts?"

The witch Catherine said, "Many third-circle wizards at Golden Crown Academy are already going there to observe. After they observe, they will publish articles, and by reading those articles, I can naturally obtain the star charts I need. Besides, I know nothing about astrological magic, so observing star charts won't improve my abilities much."

"On the contrary, I want to completely dominate the victory of this operation and confirm my position."

The witch Catherine looked at the remnants of the war on the ground, then opened her left palm and unleashed her immense magical beast tide.

In the center of the Cloud Arena, a peach orchard of longevity peaches grew. The orchard was lush and green, and it bore a special kind of peach from Golden Crown Mountain.

Above the peach orchard is a plaque that reads: "Dragon Peach Garden"!
That's right, the twelve peaches of Golden Crown Mountain are essentially a special product among the twelve great magic spells.

Great magic can be passed down.

When passed to different wizards, the magic will undergo corresponding changes.

These inheritances can make it easier for a wizard to become a second-circle wizard, but even so, they don't reduce the difficulty by much.

Furthermore, after a wizard becomes a second-circle wizard, the cost of constructing some major spells can be reduced, and the quality of these major spells can be improved, maximizing their power.

But the lifespan of a third-ring wizard is long; a thousand years is not enough to change certain things.

Therefore, the names and effects of the twelve peaches of Jinmian Mountain may seem to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, but in fact they have changed, and their effects have become better and better over time.

The peach orchard in the Peach Garden, created by the great magic of Catherine the Witch, produces Dragon View Peaches, which have various wonderful uses for magical creatures.

It's not just the Longguan peach that's useful.

Every part of the peach trees in this orchard has a specific function for the magical beast tide.

This peach orchard is located within a small world, enough to form a unique ecosystem that greatly enhances the strength, lifespan, and intelligence of the magical creatures in the region.

Once these magical creatures consume these things, they will regard Peach Garden as their master, and this is the ecosystem of the beast tide.

This veneration of the master incorporates some magic from the Mind Magic school, but more importantly, it is a choice based on self-interest.

Those magical creatures will form an ecological symbiosis with Peach Garden, regarding it as their god.

Therefore, Taoyuan must be protected.

At this moment, Peach Garden appeared, and all the magical creatures near Golden Crown Mountain, as well as the magical pets brought by the wizards, were all forcibly attracted to Dragon Peach Garden.

Even the magical pets of the dark wizards betrayed them at this moment, willing to break their contracts and be drawn to Dragon Peach Garden, turning into weapons of the witch Catherine.

All the magical creatures surrounded the dark wizards.

Show no mercy.

Not a single dark wizard shall be allowed to escape back to the Twin Realms.

This is the will of Catherine the Witch.

At that moment, Catherine the Witch seemed to transform into a giant on the horizon. She bent down, stretched out her palm, grasped a peach from the crown of the peach tree in the very center of the orchard, and then plucked it down.

Then, Catherine the Witch, holding the peach as if it were some kind of blessing, tossed it towards Mount Golden Crown. "All magical creatures, heed my command—black wizards, kill without mercy!"

"The one who commits the most killings will be awarded the Dragon View Peach King title."

"To gain intelligence comparable to that of humans!"

Instantly, countless magical creatures erupted in excitement, a massive beast tide, all for a single peach.

One peach can command all the beasts in the world!
