Wizard: My skills can be upgraded indefinitely.

Inside the cave, the miniature "star" dissipated, leaving behind ashes and deathly silence.

Ian floated in mid-air, his clothes fluttering, and gently twirled his fingers.

The surrounding space still rippled, the lingering high-temperature radiation remained, and the purifying fluctuations of the rules...

All traces were forcibly pulled and compressed by a powerful yet precise gravitational field.

Within moments, apart from a lingering trace of "cleanliness" in the air, there were no remaining signs of battle.

He was well aware of the potential chain reaction that the fall of the Level 4 Aberrant Beast might trigger.

The laws of gravity contracted silently, obscuring Ian's own presence as well.

The next second, he flashed and silently disappeared into the hard rock.

The rocks and soil, like the most docile servants, automatically parted in front of him and quietly closed up behind him.

Without leaving any passage or revealing a trace, it completely disappeared into the depths of the earth's veins.

Deep Rock City.

On the top floor of the city's main castle, Lumina gripped the railing, her face extremely tense.

The terrifying roar that pierced through the rock and went straight to her soul, though brief, still caused her considerable injury.

The star barrier within the city also hummed and trembled violently at that moment, its silver light flickering like a candle flame in the wind.

She had to use all her mental energy to barely stabilize the core of the barrier. Now the roar had stopped and the tremors had subsided.

But a deeper, more primal stirring within the soul lingered.

"Ian...senpai..."

Lumina muttered to herself, her gaze fixed on the direction Ian had gone.

Just then, the air in front of her rippled very finely, and Ian's figure quietly appeared.

His clothes remained clean and tidy, and his face was calm and expressionless.

Lumina's heart suddenly clenched, her pupils dilated abruptly, and an uncontrollable conjecture began to frantically grow in her mind.

She lowered her head instinctively, her posture more respectful than ever before, with an almost devout humility before a deity.

Ian glanced at her, oblivious to the turmoil churning within her.

"Take me to the secret vault." His voice was calm, devoid of any emotion.

"Yes... Senior!" Lumina responded quickly, almost holding her breath as she led the way.

For the next two days, Ian stayed in the secret vault of Deeprock City.

The blurry image of the floating city in my mind is becoming clearer in many details, and its structure is becoming more stable and reasonable.

However, when he deduced the core, either the rune array collapsed on its own or the energy transmission was wrong, leaving only a blurry black area, and the deduction came to a complete standstill.

Ian slowly withdrew his mental energy, opened his eyes, and said, "It's still not working; there are too many incomplete parts."

He muttered to himself, his tone not revealing much disappointment.

The floating city is, after all, the pinnacle of a civilization's creation, and it's unrealistic for him to deduce it in just a few days.

The knowledge value of Deeprock City has been exhausted, and it is necessary to travel to other human settlements again.

But Ian had a premonition that the real key was the former capital, "Eternal Sky," which was occupied by the Aberrant Beasts and was later known as the Land of Starfall.

Having determined his next goal, Ian did not set off immediately.

After his battle with the Level 4 Aberrant Beast, he needs to clearly re-evaluate his path.

In a room that Lumina had specially arranged for him, located deep within the castle, Ian sat down cross-legged.

As consciousness sank into the depths of the mental sea, it first looked at the "blazing star core" suspended at the core of the mental sea.

It is less than one centimeter in diameter and has a translucent reddish-gold color.

Inside, faint ripples resembling nuclear fusion are visible, flowing slowly, while the surface is surrounded by five rings of star trails of different colors.

Silver gravity, crimson heat, golden purification, transparent time, and earthen yellow earth.

Five intertwined star orbits revolve harmoniously around the central star core.

As the "Starry Sky Ritual" was activated, a sudden realization dawned on me: this supreme secret scripture of the Shadow Moon Tower had reached its end.

The meditation method is divided into four levels: the first level lays the foundation, the second level condenses and crystallizes the core, the third level constructs the starry sky realm, the fourth level...

When it came to Ian, it was completely different, condensing into a unique "blazing star core" that became the Morning Star.

Now that the star core is complete and the fourth layer is perfected, the path ahead is blocked.

Meditation itself could no longer provide him with the ladder to continue climbing higher.

"Further developments are needed, but I have never been exposed to other advanced meditation methods."

He recalled the information he had seen at Just's house.

In the central continent, deeper within the wizarding world, the power structure is mainly divided into three types.

Wizarding organizations centered on advanced meditation techniques, bloodline sorcerer families bound by lineage, and large wizarding academies that blend various schools of thought.

The most difficult to integrate into is the Bloodline Sorcerer faction. They are extremely xenophobic, rarely accept outsiders, and high-level meditation techniques above level four are almost never leaked out.

To join a wizarding organization that is united by advanced meditation techniques, one must sign an extremely demanding soul contract.

It is said that some contracts even have a strong binding force on sixth-level Sun Wizards.

The most lenient option is the large wizarding academy, but even that is only relatively lenient; a contract is still required.

"It seems we can only wait until we return to the wizarding world and then slowly try to make contact."

Before that, he needs to make preparations. If he can trade directly, that would be best, but of course, the cost would be enormous.

Morning Star level resources are not so easy to collect.

"If there isn't a suitable alternative meditation method, I can simply spend more time combining it with the panel's deduction."

Ian snapped out of his reverie and stared at the slowly rotating, blazing star core.

"My seed of rules is the 'Blazing Star Core,' and to advance to the fifth level of Radiant Moon, it must be nurtured into the prototype of a star."

Ultimately, it was allowed to grow from a seed into a real star.

This requires an extremely large amount of void energy and the origin of the world; the ordinary magic of the wizarding world can no longer provide much assistance.

The purpose of advanced meditation is to help wizards above the Morning Star level draw energy from higher dimensions in the void and strengthen their own Seed of Rules.

This is also a major reason why the Morning Star Wizard left this world.

"My meditation method needs to be tailored to my own experience... and it must be different from others."

This idea was like opening a whole new door.

Countless fragments of knowledge about star evolution, energy accumulation, and the growth of rules emerged from the depths of memory.

The astronomy and physics of a past life, the wizarding knowledge of this life, and the glimpses of energy utilization in the floating city technology of this world...

Everything began to collide, combine, and deduce around the core of the fiery star core's growth.

With the slight enhancement of the time rules, Ian's thinking speed was boosted to its limit.

He vaguely "saw" that the core of the fifth level of meditation should be to construct a larger and more complex soul structure.

This structure must be able to efficiently draw void energy from the void, as well as fragments of rules from other worlds.

It is also necessary to be able to inject this enormous energy into the "fiery star core" in an orderly manner, so as to promote its "growth" from the inside out.

From the size of a fist, to the size of a house, and then to the size of a mountain... eventually, it expanded into a true "miniature star" with a diameter of thousands of miles!

In this process, his understanding of the five rules must be deepened simultaneously.

In particular, the time rules and earth rules, which are currently lagging behind, must be pushed to 100% perfection.

Gravity forms the framework, thermal energy the heart, and purification, time, and the earth provide the support.

Only when the five fundamental rules are perfected can a stable, powerful, and infinitely potential "star" be supported.

"This is... my own Path of Radiant Moon!"

Ian understood.

The path to level five (Radiant Moon) for an ordinary Morning Star Wizard requires leaving their native world and capturing a suitable small world in the endless void.

Then, after a long period of time, it is refined into the "Core of the World" and then combined with its own Seed of Rules.

Only by obtaining a demiplane as a source of power and a base, and by cultivating a massive army of conquerors, can we resist the rule-rejection of other worlds and roam freely in the void.

But he is different; his "fiery star core" is itself a miniature prototype of a star.

What is a star?

It is a natural energy furnace, a collection of rules, and is itself a complete and powerful "energy rule core"!

It naturally possesses many characteristics of the "core of the world," and may even have greater potential.

He doesn't need to seek externally, nor does he need to risk capturing and refining small worlds.

What he needs to do is to continuously "nurture" his own star core, allowing it to "grow" and grow stronger.

Let this star nucleus grow from a seed into a true "miniature star".

It is estimated that by level 5, its diameter will reach thousands of miles, its surface will be burning with crimson flames at tens of millions of degrees, and its interior will be an ultra-high density core compressed to the extreme by gravity.

The outer layer is the slowly flowing corona, formed by purification, time, and the rules of the earth.

At that time, his every move will no longer wield the demiplane power of an ordinary wizard, but the vast power of a real star.

This is his unique path, and a path with limitless potential!

Just by understanding this, Ian felt a slight tremor in his mental sea, and the blazing star core seemed to brighten a little.

It's as if the road ahead is clear, and all that's left is to put it into practice.

"The most urgent task is to obtain more of the origin and complete the rules of time and the earth."

"Continuous battles will accelerate his progress in understanding. He needs to comprehend the 'time' of corruption and resistance in this world, walk the earth, and feel its bearing and pulse."

"This world... is my best testing ground." Having sorted everything out, Ian exited deep meditation.

He got up and walked out of the stone chamber, where Lumina was already waiting respectfully.

"senior."

"I need detailed information on all the gathering points in the surrounding area," Ian said succinctly.

Lumina immediately presented a meticulously drawn map, which marked the locations of Deeprock City and several large survivor outposts in the surrounding area.

The light coalesced, transforming into a complex and exquisite three-dimensional rune, which slowly floated toward Lumina.

Within the runes, the power of the purification rules pulsed slowly.

"Place this talisman in the city center, and it will slowly purify the pollution in the core area, continuously improving the environment, especially beneficial to newborn children."

Lumina's hands trembled as she carefully received the purification rune.

Just by getting close, she felt a gentle warmth seep into her body, which invigorated her spirit, which had been exhausted from resisting the roars and maintaining the barrier these past few days.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior!" she said, her expression filled with emotion.

This rune is the flame of hope for the continuation of the race in Deeprock!

"It's just a transaction," Ian said calmly.

"After I leave, Deeprock will need to use the tunnel network I have established to contact other outposts."

"Keep an eye out for two things for me: scattered astral gold and vein ore, and any knowledge or information related to floating cities and ancient imperial technology."

"If found, simply keep it safe."

He did not ask them to risk sending it out, but only to "keep an eye on" and "keep it safe."

Lumina bowed deeply without hesitation, "Deep Rock City will obey your orders, Senior! I will do my utmost!"

She knew that this was the strongest backer Deeprock City could rely on, and one of the few things they could do for this mysterious powerhouse.

Ian nodded and said no more.

He walked to the edge of the castle and looked down at the underground city struggling to survive in the dim light of the fireflies.

Then, with a single step, his form began to blur and become transparent before disappearing.

Lumina stood at the edge of the castle, staring blankly in the direction where Ian had disappeared.

The purification rune in her hand emitted a warm glow, illuminating her tearful eyes.

Behind her, many residents of Deeprock City had spontaneously gathered together.

They looked up at the "starry sky" above them, and then at the endless darkness where Ian had left.

There were no cheers, no clamor, only silent and heavy anticipation.

That figure with black hair and black eyes, from beyond the world, brought purification, opened a path to survival, and gave them new hope.

In their eyes, this is no longer simply a "senior" or a "trader".

Instead, it is the eternal blazing sun that pierces through this thousand-year darkness and descends upon this place.
