Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 121 [121] The Secret of Deep Blue: A Century of Advancement

Inside the Dark Wizard Tower.

The Ghost Wizard swung his little feet and sat in a chair that was clearly the size of an adult. His little hands held a quill pen and he seemed to be writing something. The dense characters had a tadpole-like swimming feel to them.

These texts are indeed alive; their content is a top-secret message discussed at the last Dark Supreme Conference.

A letter to be delivered to the surrounding wizarding factions.

The Spectral Wizard seemed to have noticed something, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said with a hint of helplessness, "Dream Wizard, you really shouldn't be teasing these little guys like this."

Another voice rang out from inside the room, a mature woman's voice, "I'm very curious about what it is about this little fellow named Wang Yahalak that attracts the Dream Wizard."

"While their performance in the secret realm was outstanding, it's not enough to warrant a formal wizard personally participating."

The Ghostlight Wizard said thoughtfully, "Who knows? Perhaps it's related to the Dream Wizard's wizarding path. After all, only the Dream Wizard lineage is still practicing the Dream Wizard system."

"That little guy's talent and understanding of witchcraft is truly remarkable. He could easily join either the Rhine lineage or the White Bone lineage. Even the Rhine Wizard was tempted, but the Dream Wizard personally came to dispel the Rhine Wizard's idea. That's quite decisive of him."

"That raven is a bit special. I can't figure it out, but it seems to have started from the smallest details and controlled a large number of extraordinary creatures. It seems to have some blood wizard background." The mature woman's voice said.

The Wizard of Shadows smiled and said, "Every wizard has his own secrets, and it's normal for this little guy to have secrets too."

Although she had already realized that this was related to the evil god incident in the Mayan kingdom, it might be due to the exploitation of some of the flesh-and-blood characteristics of the evil god Gendass.

The other party can be said to be on the path of a blood wizard, and has already reached an extremely high level.

Leaving aside the main body, even just the flesh and blood clones are enough to rival the combat power of a formal wizard.

Whatever this little guy got from the evil god Gendass, there is no doubt that such an action is provoking the evil god Gendass's bottom line.

If he doesn't enter the inner world, the outer space will be fine, but if he does, this little guy is probably going to suffer.

"The first phase of the Dark Child Project has been implemented. Over the remaining two hundred years, the second and third phases must be carried out steadily."

"Some wizarding factions in the vicinity are probably also making preparations. We should try to inform the young wizards at headquarters about this as much as possible, to put some pressure on them and prevent them from becoming complacent."

The Ghostly Wizard smiled. "The real pressure is yet to come."

The competition in the newcomer realm has come to a complete end.

However, some events that occurred have led many wizards in the Underdark to continue discussing them even after more than half a month has passed.

In the nearby Wizard City, some employed wizards use this as a topic of conversation, entertaining themselves with newcomers or veteran wizards during their leisure time.

The presence of a formal wizard at the scene, and the recruitment of the top-ranked wizard newcomer as a successor disciple, generated the most buzz and discussion.

The battles between the various new wizards in the secret realm, depicted in the footage, have begun to spread with the help of some well-meaning individuals.

Wang Ya has now become completely famous.

"You must also be wondering why headquarters would do something like this, deliberately spreading information about you new wizards through the Gloomy Corridor."

The voice of the Dream Wizard echoed slowly through the maple forest. As the autumn wind blew and the leaves fell, large swaths of maple leaves landed on the stone path that ran through the forest.

The young man in the black wizard's robe frowned slightly, about to speak, but not quite understanding the situation, he remained silent.

Wang Ya walked among the fluttering maple leaves, the autumn wind ruffling his hair, creating a dreamlike scene. In fact, this maple forest was the only place where he could frequently converse with the Dream Wizard.

In the distance, a magnificent wizard's tower emanates fluctuations of particle energy, and the ripple energy field formed by the central hub of the wizard's array radiates to the surrounding environment within a radius of at least 200,000 meters.

After becoming a disciple of the Dream Wizard, he moved out of his original wizard residence and into the Dream Wizard Tower, gaining the ability to teleport in and out at any time within a range of 200,000 meters.

The interior of the Dream Tower is extremely large and has various functions, including but not limited to a large wizard laboratory with all kinds of top-notch wizard instruments, as well as an incredibly vast biological cultivation field and magical plant garden.

The folded space on any one floor, if unfolded, is not much smaller than the Lower House of the Dark Wizarding.

The maple leaves gathered together, gradually forming a faint, indistinct phantom. The Dream Wizard walked side by side with Wang Ya and began to explain the reason, "You now have a spot as a Child of Darkness, and are a member of the Darkness Cultivation Program. You have gained many rights and resources, and the support is extremely strong. But everything is two-way. The more you gain, the more obligations you must also bear."

"These obligations can be considered the price you pay for obtaining these rights."

At the end of the stone path is a huge lake with man-made passageways, and the land in the center of the lake is planted with a large number of tall maple trees.

Wang Ya listened and walked onto the path. A layer of maple leaves floated on the lake, and fish occasionally popped their heads out, blowing bubbles.

Enjoying rights naturally brings obligations.

The Dark Cultivation Program is definitely not just about cultivation; the plan behind it represents a certain goal that the higher-ups of the Dark Lands headquarters want to achieve.

This requires their expertise, and we need to train them in advance.

The Dream Wizard explained the reason: "It originates from a place, and it also originates from a wizard."

"Anglie Russan, the legendary Deep Blue Wizard, was active 80,000 years ago and left many traces on this Wizarding Continent, some of which can still be seen today."

"If you are familiar with the geography of the Wizarding Continent, you should know about places like the Hundred-Cracked Canyon, the Island of Time Cycles, the Underground Demon Mountain, and the Serpent Land, which are either ordinary or extraordinary."

Wang Ya was certainly aware of this; he had collected a lot of books and materials in the second-floor library.

The Hundred-Crack Grand Canyon is a massive, hollowed-out cliff face with an incredibly deep, bottomless depth. No, it's the other way around; the cliffs are so high they reach into the clouds, which is why the Hundred-Crack Grand Canyon is so unfathomably deep.

No wizard has yet explored the deepest part, because it is fraught with danger, an extraordinary danger, and even formal wizards have perished there.

The Island of Time Loop is a legend, rarely visited by anyone, because only those who can return can record its history and the island's environment. It is an island in a time loop, and according to legend, once you set foot on the island, you can never return, but once you are on the island, you will gain eternity, immortality, and eternal life.

This belief is deeply ingrained in the coastal mortal realms, where many believe it to be the place where gods reside and hope to go there to receive divine blessings and eternal life.

The Underground Demon Mountain is a mountain that exists in the underground space. No matter how it is destroyed, it can always reappear in the same place. Even if a formal wizard takes action and observes it with his mental power, it can still return to its intact state at a specific time every day after it is destroyed.

The Land of Snakes. No one can understand why anyone or anything that steps into it turns into a snake—the most ordinary kind, without any extraordinary properties.

Wang Ya seemed to have thought of something and looked at the Dream Wizard in surprise.

"You're right. These were all created by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, along with many other landscapes and unique regions. There's even a rumor that the Hundred-Crack Canyon was created by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue using a material stacking magic. Originally, the Hundred-Crack Canyon should have been called Hundred-Crack Mountain, the highest mountain on the Wizard Continent."

The Dream Wizard's words completely unsettled Wang Ya.

Can witchcraft really produce such terrifying power?

What level of transformation would it take to turn the highest mountain on the Wizarding Continent into a bottomless canyon?

The material stacking magic could not have been created by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue, who extracted all the material from Hundred-Crack Mountain, along with the material from deep within the earth, thus creating the current situation.

Where did all those materials go?

If this level of achievement can be accomplished, then other unusual landscapes and regions are also quite possible.

Wang Ya couldn't imagine the extent of power that kind of wizard could possess.

The Dream Wizard didn't pay attention to Wang Ya's emotional changes, which was normal. Every wizard would be shocked after learning about this information.

The power that wizards can achieve is not limited to these. In even more ancient times, ancient wizards went to the endless starry sky, embarked on a great expedition to the stars, and conquered countless other worlds.

Whether the top powers within the core of the Wizarding Continent possess wizards who venture into the endless starry sky is unknown, as too much time has passed.

The core area is not the outer layer of the Underdark, and therefore cannot be understood.

Including some surrounding wizarding forces, the true pinnacle of wizarding civilization that they could contact was a powerful wizarding force in the inner circle called the "Cycle Black Tower".

Even the Dream Wizard couldn't help but sigh. The world is vast, and individuals are small. All they can do is stick to the chosen path of wizardry and walk it without regret. As for how far they can go, no one can predict.

"Teacher, is the Dark Cultivation Project related to the Great Wizard of Deep Blue?" Wang Ya asked curiously.

"This can be said to be a secret that is kept by the higher-ups of several wizarding forces in the surrounding area, and is not known to outsiders." The Dream Wizard's words also became solemn.

"Indeed, a wizarding secret realm left behind by the Great Wizard of Deep Blue has been discovered. Unlike ordinary wizarding relics, it is an independent secret realm outside the wizarding world, possessing rules that do not belong to the wizarding world, and it is very likely to be a super-large secret realm."

"The role played by the Dark Cultivation Program is also related to this. Other wizarding factions also have related cultivation programs. Some rules in the secret realm greatly restrict the existence of formal wizards, which can lead to irresistible dangers."

"On the contrary, below the level of formal wizards, wizards who have not undergone the dual sublimation of spiritual power and physical body, and have not passed the test of the will of the wizarding world, have no restrictions when they enter to explore."

The Dream Wizard continued, "No one knows exactly how powerful the Deep Blue Archmage is, but conservatively speaking, he is at least at the level of a Level 3 Archmage or higher."

"This is an opportunity to reach a higher level. If we seize it, not only will it elevate the individual's strength, but it will also raise the overall level of the Underdark."

The Dream Wizard didn't say anything more; he simply chuckled and said, "That's still too far off for you. There are only three spots for the new Child of Darkness. In the early stages, it's mostly for the main branch's Limit Wizard apprentices to explore, and also for them to compete with other wizarding factions."

"The Dark Cultivation Program is truly intended to produce a batch of fresh blood like you. The fact that the headquarters is promoting the reputations of the three of you also serves as a form of training, since you three are newcomers and lack the growth that comes with life experience. Unlike the Ultimate Wizard Apprentices, who are relatively perfect in terms of temperament, will, and strength."

"However, you are not qualified until you advance to the level of Ultimate Wizard Apprentice. If you work hard, you might still have a chance to explore the Deep Blue Great Mystic Realm with Shoggoth and Sue when it opens for the first time."

The Dream Wizard pointed a finger at Wang Ya's forehead and said, "What you need to consider now is how to plan your wizarding path, advance to the third level wizard apprentice level, and finally become the ultimate wizard apprentice."

"I believe you have also felt that after entering the second level of wizard apprenticeship, the difficulty and time required for improvement are getting greater and greater."

Wang Ya's eyes flickered. What the teacher said was true. After advancing to the second level of wizard apprentice, the improvement of his mental strength and physical strength had slowed down and was not as fast as before.

Even the wizarding meditation method is still more difficult and more complicated, but the rewards are inevitably diminished.

His original plan for his wizarding path was to follow the path of elemental wizards, using the Eye of Truth for assistance to study the properties of particle energy changes, and perhaps develop a special particle energy like that of the Bone Wizard.

Furthermore, Harak's Infinite Genome Research Project is being used to study the Crimson Heart, which is suspected to be the physical body of the evil god's flesh.

This is destined to take a lot of time and is a long project. After all, there are many aspects to consider. If we proceed step by step, Wang Ya's strength and realm will match each other, and there will be no shortcomings.

But now it seems that he may not have much time left.

The Great Blue Realm is like a new world. What exists within it? Does it contain the legacy of the Great Blue Wizard? And does it bring extraordinary rewards?

It's impossible to predict what the wizards who venture there will discover.

The unknown represents the possible, and this is an opportunity that the entire Underdark headquarters, and even the ultimate wizard apprentices of other wizarding forces, are pursuing.

An opportunity to become a full-fledged wizard!

Advancing to become a formal wizard is very difficult. Perhaps only one or two out of ten ultimate wizard apprentices can succeed. Before advancing, a lot of preparation is required. Whether it is resources, one's own condition, or one's mental will, one must be at the most perfect to have a chance of advancing successfully.

There's even a saying: "Sixty years of preparation, thirty years of honing, and ten years of grueling breakthrough."

If the breakthrough fails, it means death; one must then face the test of the will of the wizarding world.

This is what Wang Ya learned from the Dream Wizard.

On the other hand, it is not difficult to deduce from the information given by the Dream Wizard that the secret realm may open within the next hundred years.

If other ultimate wizard apprentices complete everything they've been preparing for over a century inside, will their breakthroughs cause any impact or changes on the Underdark and the surrounding forces?

After all, resources are so plentiful, and the more formal wizards there are, the more things are needed.

What if we don't have enough resources?

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. The Deep Blue Mystic Realm might just be a wave, a wave that disrupts the balance of everything.

He must seize the first opportunity.

Within a century, one will reach the pinnacle of the Ultimate Wizard Apprenticeship, raising both mental and physical stats to the limit of 40.

This was the thought that arose in Wang Ya's mind.

The Dream Wizard walked in front of Wang Ya, revealing only the back of his yellow wizard robe.

"It seems you already have a definite idea!"

"Yes, teacher, you should know what I'm thinking." Wang Ya's eyes were extremely serious.

The Dream Wizard chuckled and said, "Young people should have ambition and drive."

"I have a solution!"
