Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

Having been betrayed by the omnipotent magic ring wizard, Dago was filled with vigilance and resistance towards things like soul contracts.

However, for any wizarding faction that wants to join and obtain its inheritance and resources, signing a non-betrayal pact is the most basic condition, and no faction will waive this step.

So Dago sought a solution from Arajan. As it turns out, Arajan, a "living fossil" of the wizarding world who has lived for countless years, is himself a huge treasure trove of knowledge. If you push him a little, you can always dig out some good stuff.

【Soul Simulation Technique】is not a particularly powerful or complex secret technique, but it is quite practical. Its effect is to simulate the soul's aura into any form you desire.

Dago used Arazan's soul power to simulate his own soul aura, and even the fifth-ring wizard Hyriodor couldn't detect it.

Although the two contracts were signed, the actual signatory was Arazan, and it had nothing to do with Dago.

This perfectly avoids the limitations and constraints brought about by the soul contract.

"That's about it. If you encounter any problems you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Heliodo recounted to Dago the many rules and taboos of the Deep Sea faction of Spirit Lake, and then clapped his hands lightly.

"silver!"

"Whoosh—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dago felt a blur before his eyes as a white shadow flashed by, moving so fast that even his naked eye could barely catch it.

When I came to my senses, there was a huge white cat in front of me, its whole body covered with long silver-white fur, and its eyes were emerald green. It was indescribably beautiful.

"Take him to his place."

Heliodo bent down, patted the big white cat's head, and whispered instructions.

The big white cat yawned, not even lifting its eyelids to look at Dago, and lazily walked towards the room's exit, wagging its fluffy, snow-white tail.

"Take a few days off. I'll contact you if I need anything."

Heliodo said to Dago, who nodded slightly and then followed the white cat's footprints outside.

As soon as you step out of the Crystal House, you can hear the roaring sound of a huge stream of water.

Before Dago appeared a huge "lake," but in the middle of the "lake" was black, with a large circular hole. All the lake water flowed into that hole, and the loud sound of the water came from it.

The large white cat named "Silver Coin" nimbly leaped into the lake, landing steadily on the surface as if walking on flat ground, leaving ripples in its wake, and led Dago toward the black hole in the center of the lake.

At the edge of the black hole in the middle of the lake, the big white cat stopped, turned its head and waved to Dago, and then jumped down.

Dago followed closely behind.

As it fell from the black hole in the center of the lake, a thick mist and darkness swept over it.

Dago squinted and saw the big white cat move incredibly nimbly in the void like a white ray of light that kept turning and falling, before suddenly stopping at a certain point and remaining motionless.

Dago steadied himself and approached the white cat at a steady pace, while extending his mental energy downwards. However, even when he stretched his mental energy to its limit, he still couldn't reach the bottom of the abyss in the center of the lake.

Black water cascaded down all around. Dago landed gently on a flat rock that jutted outwards. The big white cat that had led the way was already waiting on the rock. When it saw him arrive, it gave him a sideways glance, as if it was annoyed that he was too slow.

The big white cat raised its left front paw and gently pressed it against the thin layer of waterfall in front of it.

Runes and magic circles lit up in the void, and the transparent water curtain automatically parted to both sides, revealing a narrow portal that could only accommodate one person at a time.

The big white cat walked straight into the portal, and Dago hesitated for a moment before slowly following.

The moment I stepped through the portal, I was greeted by bright sunshine and exceptionally fresh air.

The area inside and outside the light gate was like two different worlds.

What first appeared before Dage was a large expanse of lush green grass, where several young deer grazed leisurely, and wild rabbits darted by.

At the end of the meadow was a small lake, with newly blossoming apple trees planted along its shore, and then a rather large courtyard with a beautiful house with a bright red roof.

"This is my own space."

Dago looked at everything in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

This is probably the essence of Lingjing Lake. Even an ordinary member like him, who barely meets the entry requirements, can have a private secret space that is several times larger than the Bernal secret base.

"Oh--"

The yawning sound beside him reminded Dago of the presence of a certain guide.

He turned around and politely said "thank you" to the lazy white cat.

He had intended to offer a few magic stones as a token of his gratitude, but the latter had already scratched his ear and walked out through the portal with an arrogant expression.

Dago strolled along the grass, this area was probably reserved for the Potions Garden and the Plant Garden.

The soil behind the house contains special magical bacteria that have the ability to self-repair, making the entire space exceptionally stable. Ordinary spell practice can also be carried out inside.

As usual, Dago used the Eye of Truth to survey the entire space inside and out, eliminating any surveillance arrays, before finally slowly entering the house.

The house is simply furnished yet warm and comfortable, with all the necessities of daily life. A blue crystal ball sits on a table in the middle of the living room on the first floor.

By leaving his unique mark inside the crystal ball, Dargo temporarily gained full ownership of the space.

Take out the fish tank containing two pieces of clam shell from the spatial ring, and then summon the dust fairy Ottilia.

Upon learning that she would become the "mistress" of the entire house, the yard outside, and even the surrounding lake and lawn, Ottilia's face flushed with excitement, and she ran around the living room in circles.

She flapped her two pairs of transparent little wings and flew quickly out of the house. Before long, she came back in with a small broom made of apple branches and white downy flowers, singing as she swept and cleaned.

The meaning of a dust sprite's life is to clean, and Ottilia has undoubtedly ushered in the first peak of her life.

Dago let her do whatever she wanted. He sat on the rattan chair in the living room for a while, then got up and went into the meditation room.

Under the soft, crystal-clear light, Dago closed his eyes, finally having a moment to sort out his gains and problems.

As his mind sank into his consciousness, within his spiritual space, fifteen golden diamond-like soul crystals faintly emitted an amber light.

The four consecutive reincarnations within the Tower of Knowledge brought Dago to the true end of the Mist Stage!

Fifteen Soul Crystals!

He took five steps deeper into the forbidden zone than most wizarding geniuses who had ventured into it!

The improvement in mental strength is not particularly significant. Dago's mental strength in his normal state is still at a level comparable to a mid-stage fourth-ring wizard.

The most important thing is to strengthen the foundation and basic qualities.

Thinking of this, Dago's mind stirred slightly.

Soon, a crimson light pattern, like an earthworm, appeared in my mind.

However, it was the second, the third, and the fourth.

One after another, ancient spiritual scripts he remembered appeared, densely packed, almost occupying a small part of the sky in his consciousness space.

Apart from Dago, no one knew that he had lived through four lifetimes, more than three hundred years of dreamlike existence.

A total of 1,382 Primordial Spirit Scripts were recorded!

If it weren't for the fact that the ancient spiritual texts on the upper shelves of the Tower of Knowledge are increasingly complex and profound, this number would likely be even greater.

One thousand three hundred and eighty-two ancient spiritual runes floated in the consciousness space, like scarlet blood vessels growing in the inner layer of flesh. With each slight movement, they would release some inexplicable mysteries that seeped into Dago's body.

These mysteries are like fragments of profound knowledge, or perhaps a kind of nourishment specifically for wisdom.

"The Primordial Spirit Script consists of the strokes of the Ten Primordial Origin Runes. Can I use these strokes to piece together the framework of the Ten Primordial Origin Runes?"

As Dago looked at the more than one thousand ancient spiritual scripts, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Perhaps these whispers were caught by a golden ladybug that was perched on his spiritual crystal, which let out a scornful, ignorant laugh.

"Assemble the Ten Primordial Origin Runes?"

Do you know how many ancient spirit scripts are recorded in total?

"How many?"

Dago calmly countered with a question.

In fact, he deliberately let Arajan hear his inner monologue, in order to arouse his "desire to show off" what he knew in his belly.

"Uncountable."

Arajan slowly replied, "As numerous as the stars hanging in the ancient sky, how many have you remembered?"

You're not the first wizard to have this idea, but no one has ever been able to gather them all.

"As numerous as the ancient stars."

Dago pondered Alazan's words repeatedly.

"Primordial Spiritual Script, Primordial Stars, Primordial Star Book!"

He suddenly caught a glimpse of inspiration, and his eyes flashed with intense light.

"Primordial Spiritual Script, Primordial Star Book, Primordial Star Meditation Method!"

"Isidore once obtained the Book of the Ancient Stars and took a part of it with him."

Isidore once visited Spirit Mirror Lake, where he attempted to collect all the ancient spirit scripts from the entire Upper Ring Continent!

It was as if Dago had found a key clue, which perfectly connected several seemingly unrelated things.

Isidore is the most talented and legendary wizard in the history of the entire Upper Ring Continent, with the ambition to rule over all magic.

Did he ever have the same idea as me, wanting to piece together the complete set of the Ten Ancient Origin Runes using the Primordial Spirit Script?

He was such a proud and ambitious man that the answer to that question was almost certainly yes.

Verification is also very simple.

Dago closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on the more than one thousand ancient spiritual runes within his consciousness space.

Following the practice method of the [Ancient Star Meditation Method], Dago attempted to use these more than a thousand ancient spiritual texts as a star chart for divination.

At a certain point in the process of trying to proceed.

Suddenly, a twisted ancient spirit script began to tremble gently under Dago's control.

Then, it traced a graceful arc in the dark void, colliding with another ancient spirit rune, and then...

They merged together without any hindrance.

This formed a completely new Primordial Spirit Script!

As Dago witnessed the perfect fusion of the two ancient runes, his heart trembled slightly.

When his suspicions came true and the facts were presented before him, he felt an extremely surreal and unreal feeling.

The Ten Primordial Origin Runes, Primordial Spiritual Scripts, The Primordial Star Book, and the Primordial Star Meditation Method.

"This is clearly the greatest jigsaw puzzle in history, spanning millions of years."
