Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Continental center, Madedia district

This place boasts abundant magical resources, with various high-level magical beasts galloping across the vast plains and forests, and even several giant dragons flying overhead.

Countless mysterious wizard cities were built here, and powerful wizards built their own floating islands to overlook all living beings.

The most prosperous city was undoubtedly Ireneo, the City of Glory.

The walls here are made of pure white brilliance stone, and are carved with gorgeous and intricate golden runes. If a professional connoisseur were to come and observe, they would surely be amazed by the millions of magic stones used in each stroke.

Guards dressed in uniform white robes stood on the city wall, and each of them was a third-class wizard apprentice.

"Maurice, have you heard? Yesterday, Young Lord Kolo defeated the genius who was sent from the Holy Light Spire to the Myriad Edges Spire."

"The Holy Light Spire, where? It sounds like a branch of the Myriad-Fold Spire."

"That's right. A few days ago, a genius with a fifth-level aptitude passed the test at the Wanshuo Spire's branch in the eastern part of the continent. As a result, he offended the young city lord of Kolo as soon as he arrived."

"Heh, I bet he can't last five minutes. Our young city lord is a genius wizard known as the Son of Light."

"That's right, it was resolved in 4 minutes, but I feel that Young Master Chloe gave him some face, after all, they are still apprentices from the same academy."

"..."

A guard silently walked past them, the brim of his white robe's hood obscuring his eyes and concealing his scarlet vertical pupils.

The city is very prosperous, with every building comparable to those in Corilla's Upper City, and wizard towers of all sizes standing throughout the city.

The crystal streetlights lined both sides of the street, their bright crystals casting a rich light that illuminated the entire road paved with white crystal.

A dark, humanoid cloud of mist moved swiftly through the buildings, and as it passed through the streets, even the crystal chandeliers on both sides of the street dimmed slightly...

After leaving the Frostweave Vault, Hughes returned to his room and opened the Shadow Breath Liquid recipe that he had copied from his home.

He remembered that when he was copying the Shadow Breath Liquid, his uncle Moss Craig had told him that the recipes for Shadow Breath Liquid and Shadow Elixir were actually based on a modified version of witchcraft.

This sorcery is actually the signature sorcery of the Black Ring Crown, a hidden force in the Oren plane—the Shadow of Black Mist.

……

After the wizards successfully colonized the Oren plane, in order to fully develop the Oren plane, the wizard plane opened up a large number of slots for wizards from all over the wizard plane to go to the Oren plane.

Countless races migrated to the plane of Oren; the elves brought branches of the Tree of Life and elven crafts, the dwarves brought dwarven crafts…

Finally, the five great wizarding families were established and joined forces to create the Golden Ring Crown Organization to manage the Oren Plane.

However, most of the resources in the Oren plane are under the layered management of wizard families, and the wizards of those commoner forces will certainly not be convinced.

Finally, the long-suppressed conflicts erupted. Lonely commoner wizards gathered in the Lodar region in the east of the continent, corrupting the Golden Ring with darkness and establishing the Black Ring Crown, which was the counterpart to the Golden Ring Crown.

However, the fledgling Black Ring Crown was no match for the Gold Ring Crown, which had been rooted in the Oren Plane for many years. The Soya Valen family, which was closest to Lodar, could no longer tolerate it and launched a fatal attack on the Black Ring Crown.

The family patriarch, Rhoda Soyavaren, a second-level light wizard, cast a second-level spell—Holy Light Arbitration.

A massive beam of light blasted vertically toward the headquarters of the Black Ring Crown, its intense radiance turning night into day.

Then came the joint punishment by the five major families, and the blood of the Black Ring Crown Wizard stained the entire Lodar red.

After that, no one dared to challenge the Golden Ring Crown's position; the Golden Ring Crown became the ruler of this continent and this plane.

But the Black Ring did not break. A hundred years ago, the Black Ring Crown reappeared, and their signature sorcery, Shadow of the Black Mist, truly transformed them into shadows, hiding in the darkness to hunt down members of the Golden Ring Crown.

One ring kills the next, two rings kill the next – this is the assassination pattern of the Black Ring Crown. It is composed of well-trained wizard squads, and it is rumored that members of the Five Rings families have also lost their lives in the shadow of the Black Ring Crown.

However, the Black Ring Crown seems to have long lost its original purpose, transforming from an organization that resisted the power of the nobility into a true assassin organization.

And today...

The black mist materialized into a human form, standing atop a spire. Its crimson vertical pupils were fixed on the distant floating island, a triumphant smile playing on its lips…

In the heart of Ireneo, a massive floating island rises a thousand meters above the city, inhabited by the Soyavaren family, one of the five great families that rule Maransel.

The black mist arrived in front of the teleportation array, and with a surge of black mist, it transformed back into a guard dressed in white robes.

Four official wizards guarded the teleportation array: three stood guard by the array itself, and one observed from the shadows.

Morin was one of the guardian wizards of the day, his body shrouded in shadow as he monitored the teleportation array from the darkness.

A sense of foreboding washed over him, and Morin turned around to meet those scarlet vertical pupils.

"Buzz".

Morin looked horrified. The black mist's methods were extremely sophisticated. If the guardian wizard lost his life, the magic hidden within his body would erupt. If his consciousness was tampered with, the runes hidden in his consciousness space would also erupt.

However, the black mist skillfully controlled Morin's body and mind, rendering him unable to move or mobilize his mental energy, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as the black mist swept past his three companions...

"Buzz buzz buzz".

The three official wizards were also controlled by the black mist, their bodies entangled in indelible shadows, and they could only watch helplessly as the black mist entered the teleportation array.

Looking at the runes on the teleportation array, a trace of solemnity flashed in the black mist's eyes. It transformed into human form, mobilized its mental and magical power, and began to decipher the teleportation array.

The runes on the teleportation array were deciphered one by one by the dark figure, and the three guards around it were shocked. This was a teleportation array personally carved by Master Sullivan, who had been transferred from the Wizarding World.

As the last rune lit up, the dark figure stood on the teleportation array.
