Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 126 [126] Seeing and Hearing: Letting Go and Leaving Emptiness

An hour later, Wang Ya had written down a lot of his understanding and insights about the three types of witchcraft on a draft paper.

His face also showed a hint of bewilderment, because these three witchcraft spells were completely harmless.

To be precise, it cannot affect reality, but rather influences dreams and the three gates of witchcraft at the level of consciousness.

【Dream Eye】【Dream Heart】【Dream Sword】

"See, hear, swing your sword!" Wang Ya raised an eyebrow, somewhat uncertain. These were some prompts left by the Dream Wizard.

The Dream Wizard system mainly involves consciousness and mental power, which is to give the eyes special functions, enabling them to see things at the level of consciousness and dreams.

Listen with the heart of a dreamer to the sounds that arise in dreams.

The Dream Sword is the most unique and relatively useful, as it is an attack method that combines extraordinary spiritual power and conscious awareness.

Wang Ya frowned, and finally decided to stop thinking about these irrelevant things and began to try to master these three witchcraft techniques.

The result surprised even himself; he mastered the process extremely quickly, encountering almost no bottlenecks or difficulties, as if it were all happening naturally.

The Eye of Truth's assistance was essentially useless.

Fifteen days later.

Inside the study, Wang Ya remained seated at his desk and chair, his right hand covering his pupils.

His pupils felt icy cold, with an extremely peculiar sensation. When he cast this Dream Eye spell, it had almost no effect on particle energy; only his mental energy was continuously maintained in his pupils.

As I opened my eyes and my right hand was lifted, a faint, almost imperceptible glow flashed by.

Wang Ya tried to observe the world. The desk was still a desk, the wall was still a wall, and he didn't experience anything unusual.

Even in the mirror, his pupils remained black, showing no signs of anything unusual.

The witchcraft was indeed successful, Wang Ya was quite certain of it.

He is currently in the state of the Eye of Dreams, but why is there no difference? Wang Ya then began to cast the other two spells.

After casting 【Heart of Dreams】, the mental energy consumed continuously supports the two spell states.

With a slight twitch of his ears, he heard faint sounds: the wind outside the window, the roars of creatures in the forest, and the flapping of Harak's wings around the castle. But this was something Wang Ya could have done anyway.

Wang Ya was genuinely puzzled.

If it weren't for the fact that his Eye of Truth was focused on analyzing those six extraordinary knowledge points, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist starting to analyze the specific effects of those spells.

It seems that only the Dream Wizard can provide the answer.

As for the month given to him, he completed it in just fifteen days. Wang Ya felt it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, of the three witchcrafts, only the [Sword of Dreams] was slightly more difficult and took a little longer to complete.

When applying time, it is necessary to solve the challenge of synchronizing the frequency of mental power and consciousness.

Maple Forest.

The falling maple leaves still fluttered up and down as always. Autumn was almost over, and this maple forest where the Dream Wizard could appear remained unchanged.

However, not long after Wang Ya left, his expression changed, and he noticed some unusual points that he had not noticed before.

He even blinked subconsciously, confirming that he hadn't misread it. From his perspective, the maple forest appeared much more vibrant, with its colors reflected by the light.

Not just the colors in the conventional sense.

What exactly are these things?

Wang Ya's steps subconsciously stopped, her eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something.

The [Dream Eye] spell was cast once more, and as his mental energy was continuously depleted, a faint glow appeared on his pupils.

Finally, he discovered the anomaly.

The maple leaves fluttered about, creating an irregular and distorted display of colors. Even the arc of their flight and the structure of the leaves themselves were filled with unusual color distortions.

This brought an unusual mental shock; even with Wang Ya's physical condition and mental strength, he felt somewhat dizzy. This was a kind of special kind of mental pollution.

The oppressive feeling and dizziness in Wang Ya's heart made him want to vomit.

Those distorted colors, like maple leaves, seemed to be stirred by Wang Ya's arrival, twisting and converging towards his location. Everything along the way turned into irregular color images, distorted like a child's graffiti with lots of paint.

Are you kidding me?!

Wang Ya felt a chill run down his spine. He had a premonition that getting involved with this stuff would definitely lead to big trouble.

Subconsciously, he used another of the three spells.

Sword of Dreams

Consciousness, imbued with spiritual power, created a unique frequency, and a longsword that astonished Wang Yadu materialized out of thin air, its size constantly changing, sometimes growing larger, sometimes shrinking—a very peculiar state.

A faint silvery-white luster surrounds the sword.

This seemed to have triggered something; the distorted colors, resembling maple leaves, suddenly surged and multiplied, rushing towards Wang Ya like a tide.

The surrounding environment, which was originally just ordinary maple trees, began to come alive in Wang Ya's eyes, their trunks and branches twisting. He was the sole center, and also a delicious feast. These twisted colors, these eerie trees that seemed both alive and dead, engulfed him in their distorted hues.

An absolute sense of terror exploded in Wang Ya's mind.

He even bit his teeth until they bled, and the mental energy in his mind surged wildly, converging into the longsword that flickered and changed size.

Swing your sword!

He needs to wield his sword!

The clues left by the Dream Wizard from the knowledge of witchcraft surfaced in my mind.

A brilliant silver light shone forth, slashing fiercely in all directions.

The bizarre world, already distorted with colors, was cleaved open by a dazzling, silvery-white light, creating a clear gap and forming a safe zone in the middle.

Wang Ya collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his pupils, nostrils, and ears. His face was deathly pale and he looked extremely unsightly.

The mental energy in my mind is almost exhausted.

He was breathing heavily.

What exactly are these things? Those distorted, colorful things didn't leave; instead, they were continuously healing and filling the gap, quickly restoring it to its original state.

Just like a tattered painting that has been glued back together and repaired, even the broken parts are no different from the original.

Wang Ya understood what seeing, hearing, and wielding the sword meant.

The Dream Eye spell can grant a unique perspective, allowing one to see things that are not visible in reality.

The heart of dreams, on the other hand, is the ability to feel, receive, and hear the essence of this information.

The dream sword that is formed is a means to influence those special things and protect oneself. Seeing those things also means that one has been seen by the other party.

This special state is dangerous.

The endless stream of distorted colors, like an unfathomable and bizarre colony of bacteria, devoured everything inside the package.

The next moment, Wang Ya was about to be swallowed up by these things, but a smile appeared on his face.

Just because a figure in a yellow wizard's robe stood in front of him, that not tall figure, but with shoulders and back that conveyed a sense of reliability.

"Go back!"

A cool, neutral voice echoed around, as if words had become law. All the distorted colors began to recede, gradually stabilizing and returning to their original, realistic state.

The cold wind is still the same cold wind!

The trees are still the same trees!

A few maple leaves fell on Wang Ya's forehead. He reached out and pinched them; they were unmistakably real.

But the mental energy he exhausted was also real.

Fresh blood dripped from the corner of his jaw.

"You should be glad that you only used the Eye of Dream and not the Heart of Dream, and that you used the Sword of Dream in time, otherwise you would have been devoured by my Dream Territory by the time I arrived."

The Dream Wizard's voice carried a hint of reproach, but his concern outweighed any lingering emotion.

The figure in the yellow wizard's robe was incredibly solid this time, without the blurry and ethereal appearance of the past. Wang Ya could even see the fine texture on the robe.

He is still in the state of the Dream Eye, and he has also realized what the state of the Dream Wizard really is.

It exists in a distorted and detached state within the dream world, its true form not existing in the real world.

It can only be viewed through the Dream Eye.

"You were given a month to master three spells, but it only took you fifteen days to complete it." The Dream Wizard paused, not continuing.

Even the Dream Wizard himself was somewhat surprised, as he had predicted that it would take at least 25 or 26 days.

Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened today.

He would suppress the power of dreams beforehand, instead of releasing it in such a relaxed manner.

The power of dreams is difficult to apply to the real world, especially without the involvement of dream wizard particle energy and mental power.

But for wizards with the Eye of Dreams, the situation is different; seeing is mutual, and the power of dreams is spontaneously drawn to them.

To be precise, it should be the Dream Wizard's devouring instinct, which causes it to devour other things that possess dream power.

"That sword strike was quite impressive!" The Dream Wizard continued the sentence that had been left unfinished.

Wang Ya's face was deathly pale, and she said weakly, "Teacher, do I look alright to you?"

"It's quite impressive, so impressive that it surprised me. You were able to briefly resist my dream power instinct while completing these three basic witchcrafts. This is something that Ke Lanhua couldn't do even after five years."

"Your potential is even greater than I have observed."

At this moment, the Dream Wizard slowly turned around.

Wang Ya's eyes brightened. Now he could see the true state of the Dream Wizard, and perhaps even its face.

Because the Dream Wizard always faces away from people, it is considered one of the unsolved mysteries of the entire Underdark.

Many wizards are curious and want to know what a Dream Wizard looks like.

Wang Ya was no exception.
