Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 282 The Third Ring Wizarding Organization [Tower of Reincarnation] and Void Magic

During the gathering.

All the wizards looked at him, and Su Nan asked, "'Chariot,' what is the Mandala system? Is it a power system?"

"If you know this, I can make a deal with you for a bottle of Flash Potion."

The Chariot's eyes were filled with eagerness; he certainly needed the Flash Potion. With Su Nan's potion, his previously stagnant cultivation level had begun to progress.

It can be said that having a Grand Apothecary within a wizarding organization can transform the entire organization.

"Chariot" was very fortunate that the magic encyclopedia he had memorized could now help him and get to know the great apothecary Su Nan.

The old wizard, "Chariot," said, "The Mandala system is not a power system, but a conceptual system of magical paths proposed by the ancient, extinct Third Ring Wizarding school, the Tower of Reincarnation."

"I know that not many people know much about the Tower of Reincarnation now. The Tower of Reincarnation is an ancient school of wizardry on the Eastern Plains. Their heyday was five thousand years ago. But more than two thousand years ago, their lineage was scattered and almost nothing remained."

"This is mainly because the magical path followed by the Tower of Reincarnation was later found to have serious problems; it was a dead end. So the once glorious Third Ring Wizarding Organization gradually disappeared on its own."

"After all, the biggest factor determining the vitality of a wizarding organization is their path of magic!"

"One of the core theories of the Tower of Reincarnation is this Mandala System."

The old wizard, "Chariot," said to Su Nan, "The Tower of Reincarnation proposed a theory to the wizarding community: death is a continuous cycle, and all souls will return to this world, existing in various forms of life."

"Instead of what the gods claim, that people go to heaven after death and leave this world forever."

The Rubber Witch suddenly spoke. "A Generalist? That's wonderful. A Generalist is even more valuable than a first-ring wizard. However, I've also conducted some experiments, and I believe that after death, the soul does indeed linger on the earth for a long time, so the gods' claims are seriously flawed."

"Of course, as for whether reincarnation exists, I'm not a professional necromancer, and I'm afraid even an ordinary first-level necromancer wouldn't know much about it."

Su Nan briefly stated, "In the process of transforming the dead, I often discover that many souls have remained on the earth for decades. However, after staying for so long, they have basically all turned into soul fragments."

"The viewpoint of the Tower of Reincarnation is not necessarily entirely wrong, but it is not necessarily entirely right either."

"'Chariot,' so what's this mandala system all about?"

It seems that the Golden Wizard is related to the Tower of Reincarnation, and he may have come into contact with the Tower of Reincarnation's legacy.

After all, it is a legacy of the former Three Rings, which makes its relics even more valuable.

The old wizard, 'Chariot,' said, 'The Tower of Reincarnation believes that life and death are a cycle, and life goes on endlessly. Therefore, all living beings are pitiful, forever enduring the pain of death and reincarnation. Birth is painful, and death is also painful.'

"The Reincarnation School proposes an assumption based on this theoretical model of life and death—that if someone escapes this process, he will attain true salvation."

"It is worth mentioning that, in the eyes of the wizards of the Tower of Reincarnation, the gods also suffer the pain of eternal life and the pain of reincarnation."

"Therefore, the Tower of Reincarnation seeks to break the cycle of birth and death and jump to a state of emptiness."

"Emptiness means nothingness. This is the core of the summoning magic of the Tower of Reincarnation. I've only memorized this term, so I don't really understand it."

"I know they've been pursuing the goal of becoming nothingness. And the Reincarnation Wizard also claimed that he opened a Gate of Emptiness, behind which lies utter nothingness. Then he went in and never appeared in this world again."

"A third-circle wizard from the Tower of Reincarnation is gone just like that. From now on, whenever a third-circle wizard is born in the Tower of Reincarnation... after a period of time, that third-circle wizard will walk into the Gate of Emptiness on his own, and will never be seen again."

The old wizard, "The Chariot," said, "The wizards of the Tower of Reincarnation insist that their mentors found a better, more correct path than that of high-ring wizards, and entered the true gate of liberation. But from the perspective of the mainstream wizarding society at the time, most wizards did not agree with this."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow.

No wonder the Tower of Reincarnation declined suddenly after its rise to prominence. If wizards keep pursuing emptiness, they might end up becoming nothing. The higher one goes on the magical path, the less contact one has with the outside world, and in the end, they might cocoon themselves in an empty shell... and end up with nothing.

If you keep pursuing emptiness, won't you end up becoming empty yourself?

Of course, if I have the chance in the future, I might be able to research where these third-circle wizards of the Tower of Reincarnation went.

If they didn't just vanish into thin air and die, then they must be somewhere.

Perhaps, we have traveled to a special dimension.

The old wizard, "Chariot," said, "The Mandala system is a system based on this idea. At the bottom of the Mandala, there is a lot of psychic magic. When anyone dies in it, their soul is confined to the Mandala city. Then, according to the good and bad deeds they did in their previous life, they are assigned a place in the Mandala city for their next life."

"The entire Mandala City perfectly conforms to the magical path system of the Tower of Reincarnation, without the slightest deviation, because if any experimental deviation occurs, they will modify the Mandala City to make it conform to their magical theoretical system."

"The cities in the mandala should all be perfectly circular, and they are cities with concentric circles stacked on top of each other. The innermost circle represents the higher the merit required for reincarnation, and the better the welfare treatment. The people in the innermost circle can even live their entire lives without having to work and can receive slaves, milk, and bread. The people in the outermost circle can only be slaves or poor people."

"Therefore, in the mandala, the poor can only accept that they are poor and hope to be reborn in the richest area in the center by doing good deeds."

Su Nan fell silent.

This research method also reveals that the wizards of the Tower of Reincarnation at that time had become obsessed.

The old wizard, "Chariot," said, "The Tower of Reincarnation uses this method to simulate the cycle of life and death, allowing their wizard apprentices and first-ring wizards to find and experience the methods and paths to escape the cycle of life and death within this city."

"The vase contains the symbols of the mandala system. According to the magical history recorded by the Naturalist Supreme, the source of the general magic school, the standards of the mandala system are magical in themselves."

"Therefore, this symbol cannot appear casually. Because in order to create a world of life and death that conforms to its own magical understanding, the Tower of Reincarnation once set up a large number of black magic and curses under the city of Mandala."

"Therefore, you cannot casually touch or draw patterns representing the mandala system, otherwise you may attract black magic curses. Those are terrifying things."

The old wizard, somewhat frightened, returned the vase to Su Nan. "This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. I never imagined such a thing existed in this world. This kind of misguided magical path, as long as it appears in the world, can mislead many people."

The old wizard, "Chariot," said to Su Nan, "Moon, don't be deceived by the powerful spells of the Tower of Reincarnation, if you have received part of the inheritance. The Tower of Reincarnation's special [Void] Spells are powerful in the early and mid-stages, but in the later stages, they will cause the wizards who learn them to get closer and closer to the Void Gate, which is like the most terrifying curse."

"However, their magic is indeed the nemesis of death power and ordinary spiritual schools. It is said that even the original God of Death before the current Goddess of Death was defeated by the earliest reincarnation wizard using the magic of the void."

Su Nan nodded.

I will pay attention to this aspect, but actually, as long as I don't get too caught up in it and use this magic system as a tool, that's fine too.

In particular, the so-called air magic that restrains death.

Su Nan handed the old wizard "Chariot" a bottle of shimmering potion. "Excellent magical assessment. I hope you, 'Chariot,' will soon become a full-fledged wizard."

The old wizard, "Chariot," scratched his head. "With my talent, I can forget about it. Hahaha, if there's even the slightest chance, then I'll thank 'Moon' for the potion she traded to me."

During the gathering, Su Nan calmly said, "Don't worry, everyone. There's a basic perk at the Storm Gathering. I can sell Azure Potions to regular members of the Storm Gathering, the wizards who trade frequently, at a base price."

"However, each person only has one such opportunity."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Even those who are already formal wizards have friends, apprentices, and relatives, and they also need Azure Potions.

The excellence of Azure Potion has already been witnessed by the Petrifying Witch and "Justice".

Even a single internal discount opportunity can greatly enhance the cohesion of the Storm Gathering and everyone's loyalty to the Storm Gathering.
