Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 140 [140] Entering the Land of Inheritance and Using the Dark Authority

This looks like being caught red-handed doing something wrong!

Wang Ya gave a dry laugh. "The taste is quite good, and its effect on enhancing mental strength is also outstanding."

The answer was extremely honest.

The Dream Wizard sneered, "You've consumed at least 200,000 of my magic stones. Just that golden ant rice in your hand alone is worth about 30,000 magic stones, and it's often priceless."

Wang Ya was heartbroken, especially heartbroken, as if he could see the ocean of magic stones engulfing him without him being able to grasp even a single one.

His pupils contracted; he was truly astonished by the value of these golden ant-like grains of rice.

So, that's equivalent to over 10,000 magic stones per pound of golden ant rice.

The weight of this golden ant rice is extremely heavy, completely different from ordinary crops. A single golden ant rice plant weighs between one and three fen (a unit of weight).

In other words, the four plants weighed about a pound each. Wang Ya could hardly remember how many plants he had eaten in the Dream Garden.

No wonder his mental strength improved so rapidly, reaching a value of 25.

They weren't eating golden ants and rice, but rather clattering magic stones.

The Dream Wizard said, "Alright, I didn't tell you not to eat. Eat as much as you're capable of. Bringing out the Golden Ant Rice is your skill and ability."

"Come with me to Dream Lake, I want to see your path as a dream wizard."

"Okay, teacher." A smile appeared on Wang Ya's face.

It seems even Teacher Huanmeng is curious about the principles behind his witchcraft.

He was very confident in this, as it was a series of dream magic spells developed and created based on some theories from his previous life.

It evolves through dreams, consciousness, illusions, and mirages.

Despite his imperfect state, he was still able to defeat a level 3 wizard apprentice in battle.

This demonstrates that the dream magic school he developed has a very promising future and is very powerful.

This is a level that even the Flame Demon Sorcery school cannot reach.

"Your witchcraft seems to be a succession; three low-level witchcrafts can be followed by a mid-level witchcraft."

In the Dream Lake, the Dream Wizard's expression was quite interesting after watching Wang Ya's demonstration of witchcraft, but he ultimately decided not to praise him.

Lest this little guy get carried away and, relying on his outstanding abilities, stop focusing on studying the path of the Dream Wizard.

The Dream Wizard discovered something else and said with some surprise, "Judging from the magical transformations you displayed, you seem to still have more to learn. There should be another intermediate-level magical spell."

"The principle is peculiar; it seems to be related to dreams, but it's not entirely related to dreams either. It's a mixture of many aspects: mental energy, physical reality, and conscious dreaming."

His disciple's ambitions far exceeded even the Dream Wizard's expectations.

Wang Ya smiled and said, "As expected of a teacher, you're absolutely right."

A smile also appeared on the face beneath the Dream Wizard's mask. This little guy still had a lot to hide and was definitely not telling the truth.

He also saw that the prospects of this series of witchcrafts would not be much weaker than his inherited witchcrafts.

It all depends on how it is developed and created. After intermediate witchcraft, there is advanced witchcraft, which is much more difficult and requires a thorough mastery of various advanced and extraordinary knowledge.

The Dream Wizard was delighted with this, as his disciple's ability to surpass him was something every teacher would want to see.

Given this situation, Wang Ya has greater potential than Ke Lan and is more likely to advance to become a formal wizard.

"I will be away for three months. After that, you will have to study the path of the Dream Wizard on your own. If you have any questions, come and ask me after three months."

The Dream Wizard spoke to Wang Ya.

"Understood, teacher." Wang Ya did not ask what the Dream Wizard was going to do.

After bowing slightly, he used the teleportation function to return to the three-story Dream Tower.

He still has a lot to do.

Half a month passed slowly, and Wang Ya was also immersed in perfecting his dream magic. The Eye of Truth was still analyzing the shortcomings of the "Dream Recall Meditation Method" and the "Flame Demon Magic School".

The progress was as Wang Ya expected, proceeding steadily. However, she encountered difficulties in another aspect of her experimental research, and her condition continued to decline. At one point, she was even unable to concentrate and complete her research.

That is to complete and improve the two intermediate spells, 【Dream Bubble】 and 【Dream Shadow Replacement】.

During the battle with Hades, Wang Yadu discovered the weaknesses: the amount of dream power required was too high, and finding a place to bury the dream seed without the enemy noticing was also a challenge.

Not to mention, they also plant dream seeds on the enemy's body, and then transfer the witchcraft damage suffered by the dream body to the enemy through the causal relationship between the dream seeds.

Normal wizards would never allow Wang Ya to get close to them; Hades is ultimately an exception, a unique case, not a universal one.

What Wang Ya needs to consider and solve is the issue of adaptability.

In the course of battle, things can change in an instant. If the process of achieving the effect of witchcraft is complicated, it means that there are more variables and the possibility of problems arising is greater.

Wang Ya then wondered if he could further transform his dream body so that it could switch between illusion and reality and not be attacked by witchcraft.

Witchcraft originates from the combination of particle energy and extraordinary mental power, which seems impossible to achieve.

Extraordinary mental power can reach into dreams, and the dream body is no exception.

Wang Ya thought about this for a very long time, and for half a month he didn't even leave his study. The golden ant rice had already been eaten up a few days ago.

It increased his extraordinary mental strength by approximately 0.4.

But so far, he still hasn't come up with a solution, which seems to be unsolvable. In the end, Wang Ya even became a little irritable, and his mental state was unstable. Not to mention completing the witchcraft, even sitting in a chair was very turbulent and agitated.

He had reached a bottleneck in completing and improving two intermediate-level witchcraft techniques.

Inside the study, Wang Ya put down her quill pen, exhaled a long breath, and opened the window. The cool air from outside hit her fair cheeks, bringing a refreshing feeling and calming her restless emotions.

He knew he couldn't go on like this any longer.

Putting too much pressure on yourself—no, it's more like locking yourself in your room for too long—can have a psychological impact.

This is a problem that every wizard will encounter to some extent, and in severe cases, it can lead to mental illness.

It needs to be released promptly.

Some wizards release their pent-up desires through carnal pleasure, while others inflict violence and pain, finding release in the sound of agonizing cries. There are many methods, depending on the wizard's choice.

The fact that Wang Ya has been able to maintain a stable mental state for so long without experiencing any major problems is already an incredibly rational outcome.

Stress and anxiety accumulate little by little, like water dripping on a stone. Looking at the scenery of the primeval forest outside, Wang Ya also needed to release some stress.

They gradually realized that improving witchcraft was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required slow and meticulous research to arrive at a result.

In particular, his foundation in dream wizardry was not solid, and his understanding of the dream world was also very superficial.

Those few months spent in the Dream Garden, if placed in the real world, would likely have resulted in mastering very few corresponding spells, let alone becoming proficient, while researching other wizarding paths.

"I was a bit too hasty," Wang Ya muttered to himself.

But deep down, he always felt a strange sense of urgency, as if something was chasing him.

Having become a formal wizard's disciple and a child of darkness, one shouldn't be in such a hurry, but pressure is unavoidable, coming from all sides.

Wang Ya closed the window, his eyes cold. His condition was only one aspect; another was that his foundation was still not solid enough, especially in terms of consciousness and the application of mental power.

Wang Ya's knowledge of dream power comes from the Dream Wizard, and he has also done some research himself. However, compared to the solid foundation of the Elemental Wizard path, Wang Ya, who is a latecomer to the Dream Wizard path, is still much weaker.

Inside the Level 3 laboratory.

Wang Ya had changed into a white lab coat, holding a biological scalpel, wearing a face shield, and her eyes were fitted with special lenses to prevent corrosion and contamination from various liquids and even gases.

On the dissection table lay an ordinary tiger, its chest and abdominal cavity cut open, and Wang Ya removed its internal organs. The tiger was not dead, but the removal of its throat and genitals still filled it with immense fear of the two-legged creature before it.

With the tiger's life maintained at a certain standard, Wang Ya, through his skilled shamanic dissection techniques and his experience in biological cultivation, rejection of blood and flesh, and microscopic research, inserted the true internal organs of an extraordinary creature into the tiger's body.

No auxiliary supernatural materials were used, such as the supernatural materials that reduced rejection when Harak fused with the Shadow Raven bloodline.

Watching the tiger struggle in agony on the dissection table, Wang Ya's expression beneath his mask remained completely unmoved. He whispered, "It's alright, it'll be over soon. You'll be reborn, little guy."

As she spoke softly, a hint of fervor appeared on Wang Yana's usually calm expression, revealing a genuine sense of pleasure.

In particular, the original liquid extracted from some of the cells of the Gendass Dog was poured into the abdominal cavity, chest cavity and various organs, irrigating everything.

The active cells belonging to the flesh and blood of Gendass quickly began to devour the flesh and blood, and the vitality also subconsciously began to merge with the tiger and those extraordinary organs themselves.

The extraordinary qualities neutralized each other, developing in a direction that even Wang Ya couldn't be certain of. At this moment, the joy in his heart reached its peak.

An unconventional biological modification experiment, using the most ordinary organisms to conduct the descending wizard experiments of the Dogs of Gendass.

There was no specific prediction or analysis by the Eye of Truth.

This was entirely random, and also an experiment by Wang Ya to see what unknown results would be triggered by the combination of the biological potential and instincts, and the loss of the illusory spiritual consciousness while retaining the pure flesh and blood of the Gendas cells.

This is the way Wang Ya chooses to release her mental stress.

The moment the wound was stitched up and the wizard's scalpel was put down, his extraordinary mental energy returned to its peak, and his consciousness, including his thinking, was better than ever before.

Wizarding experiments require rigor and advance prediction, using various methods to gain a certain understanding of the results.

Wang Ya's way of releasing stress is much gentler compared to other wizards.

Abandoning the so-called prediction, inspection, and rigor of wizarding experiments and modifications, allowing it to adapt wildly and naturally without any interference, brings him immense pleasure.

Wang Ya released the tiger's restraints, but it remained stiffly lying on the experimental table. Then its abdomen swelled up, followed by its chest, as if something was inside its body. Three seconds later, the sac had completely swelled into a spherical shape, and the fur began to fall off, revealing flesh and skin stained with various dark black blood vessels.

A powerful, extraordinary mental force transformed into an invisible shield, enveloping the experimental table.

The next moment, the liquid in those dark black blood vessels accelerated its flow, and with a 'bang,' the tiger exploded into pieces of flesh and blood. As it splashed, it was intercepted around the experimental table by an invisible mental energy shield.

The flesh and blood were very viscous, like oil, yet it was also quite fluid.

Tick ​​tock!

The stench was overwhelming. Blood and flesh were smeared on the surface of the experimental table, a mixture of scarlet, yellow, and black colors. Wang Ya's eyes remained unchanged, even though the experimental subject was dead and the experiment had failed.

His purpose was not to complete the experiment, but to relax his depressed mental state.

The objective has been achieved.

Of course, if this ordinary tiger can survive, it might become a special, extraordinary creature.

To gain extraordinary power, one must always pay a price.

After letting the tower spirit clean the experimental room himself, Wang Ya changed into his wizard robes and went to the study.

The benefits of flexible thinking became apparent.

Wang Ya had already figured out from what aspects to modify Dream Magic, and even had some foresight about what the Dream Magic system was lacking.

Perhaps the Dream Magic school he created will be a level above the Flame Demon school. It is reasonable for three low-level magic spells to form two mid-level magic spells, but at this moment his mind is scattered and he has many ideas. He feels that he should add some more low-level magic spells to create a third mid-level magic spell.

The envisioned subsequent advanced witchcraft will not be one, but two.

Then the knowledge he currently possesses is far from sufficient.

"Fine, let's go to the Land of Inheritance."

The Land of Inheritance is the place where knowledge is passed down throughout the Underdark. It contains a vast amount of extraordinary knowledge of various levels and aspects, and its path leads to many extraordinary disciplines in the Underdark Wizarding Academy. It can only be said to be a microcosm of the Land of Inheritance.

Wang Ya had always been very curious, and this was a good opportunity to go and see for herself.

This also serves as an opportunity to improve the analytical capabilities of the Eye of Truth.

We need to expedite the analytical research on these two objectives.

Further improvements and developments in dream magic will require more extraordinary knowledge to support them.

Wang Ya needs to improve his own capabilities.

The Land of Inheritance is a good direction. It also offers one free opportunity to choose advanced extraordinary knowledge and one free opportunity to choose advanced extraordinary knowledge.

The Land of Inheritance is located in the Upper House Library of the Dark Wizarding Academy. The first floor remains the mission processing center, while the second floor is where the Land of Inheritance is situated.

Unlike the second floor of the lower courtyard, which has an internal space storing a large number of books, the second floor of the upper courtyard is merely a teleportation array, and no one knows the exact location of the inheritance site.

Wang Ya's Level 3 access grants him access to the Upper House area, which is the most central part of the headquarters.

However, Wang Ya had no interest in visiting the Upper Academy headquarters. Instead, he used the long-distance teleportation array inside the Illusionary Dream Tower to teleport to the second floor of the Upper Academy Library.

The teleportation arrays can teleport to each other, as long as the Dark Technology Array Central Hub allows it.

"Searching for information, Lower House Wizard - Wang Ya, you have Level 3 access and the rights of a Child of Darkness, and can receive a 10% discount on Darkness Points. Do you wish to enter the Land of Inheritance? Select Extraordinary Knowledge."

"Note: Once selected, it cannot be changed or refunded, and you must choose a transcendent knowledge to exchange for it; otherwise, you will suffer a certain amount of Dark Points deduction as a penalty."

The voice of the Dark Technology Central Intelligence slowly echoed within this teleportation space, which resembled a teleportation tower and had different teleportation zones.

Even if other wizards entered the second floor of the Upper House Library together, the teleportation spaces they entered were different, and the same was true when they came out, ensuring secrecy.

"Select to enter!"

"You will enter the Land of Inheritance in three seconds. You have only three hours to stay."

This is related to permissions; different permission levels correspond to different hours of time spent on the site.

Wang Ya had speculated about the location of the inheritance site, which corresponded to the second floor of the Lower Academy Library. However, when he actually arrived at the location of the inheritance site, he was still shocked by its scale and internal structure.

This is a huge library with numerous bookshelves, each only three meters high, displaying a variety of books.

If that's the case, it certainly can't compare to the size of the House of Commons library. But what if these bookshelves were so densely packed that you couldn't see the end, or even formed a large maze?

Wang Ya stood at the entrance to the Land of Inheritance, which was also the entrance to the Labyrinth Library, his eyes filled with surprise. To his left was a counter similar to that of the Lower House Library, where an old man with a full head of white hair, a beard that reached his chest, and wearing a white wizard's robe sat.

In my mind, I subconsciously pictured an old man in a white robe, holding a scepter, using a light spell.

To the right is a corridor built against the wall, its destination unknown.

The white-bearded old man glanced at Wang Ya and said with a smile, "That's not a place for you, little one. That's my home."

Wang Ya did not neglect the old man, and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Formal Wizard."

Deep within his lowered eyes, a faint blue glimmer had already flashed.

【Target:???】

[Mental Strength: ???]

【constitution:???】

[Strength: Possibly a certified wizard.]

There's no need for doubt anymore; this must be the Dark Land, where the official wizards are hidden, specifically guarding this place of heritage.

Unlike the many officially recognized wizards, those who hide are the trump cards of their respective wizarding forces.

"Just call me the Heritage Wizard. When you enter the Heritage Labyrinth, a voice will ask your heart what you want. As long as you tell it exactly what you want, it will make you appear in the corresponding area."

The white-bearded old man said in a very calm tone, "If you have any hesitation in your heart, you will be randomly placed in the inheritance maze, unable to accurately find what you want. Your permissions... huh!"

The inheritor wizard was visibly surprised. "It's actually Level 3 access, and you're a Child of Darkness. You can stay in the Inheritance Labyrinth for three hours."

Generally speaking, the Dark Children usually bring level two privileges, which he was already aware of.

If it's level three access, then it means that the little guy in front of me has the highest level of Dark Cultivation.

"Understood, Your Excellency the Heritage Wizard." Wang Ya's wizarding etiquette was impeccable, without a single flaw.

"I hope you can find what you're looking for, little one." The inheritor wizard smiled and waved to Wang Ya.

The next moment, the teleportation wave enveloped Wang Ya, causing him to instantly lose all sense of the outside world.

From the perspective of the inheritor wizard, the inheritance labyrinth was like a scroll painting, with space beginning to fold and twist, forming a folded maw that swallowed the young black-robed wizard whole.

Sure enough, a cold voice appeared in Wang Ya's mind, repeatedly asking him what he wanted.

'Advanced Extraordinary Knowledge' 'Dream Magic' 'Dreams' 'Dream World' 'Dream Wizard' 'Changes in the Properties of Particle Energy' 'Sublimation of Extraordinary Mental Power'

Considering that elemental wizards might be related to dream wizards, and given the different regions and other factors, Wang Ya chose the option related to dream wizards.

After all, this is the current challenge we face.

The path of an elemental wizard is more solid, and if they encounter related difficulties, they can simply come back another time.

Wang Ya has no shortage of dark spots right now.

The more important thing is to improve the two intermediate dream spells and create a third intermediate dream spell.

It can even lead to the deduction of the paths to two more advanced witchcrafts.

When Wang Ya opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Inheritance Maze, surrounded by a complex array of bookshelves and books.

A faint musky scent permeated the air, calming the wizard's extraordinary spiritual power and bringing him a sense of tranquility.

Next, find the extraordinary books that will be useful to you among the surrounding bookshelves.

Three hours seems like a lot more time compared to one or two hours.

However, to master the knowledge contained in any one of these extraordinary books would take at least a hundred times longer.

When wizards come to the land of inheritance, they usually select the extraordinary books they want in advance.

Then, by paying Dark Points, the contents of the book can be copied into the book directly through wizarding technology and the Dark Wizard Mark.

Similar to the information exchange between wizards, transmitting information and knowledge.

Wang Ya even vaguely guessed that perhaps the extraordinary knowledge of the inheritance site was replicated in the dark central terminal.

Receiving information from extraordinary books using the Dark Wizard's Mark is all fake; it's merely a result of permission restrictions.

Those extraordinary knowledge were not copied from extraordinary books, but were transmitted directly to you by the Dark Central Terminal.

The prerequisite for obtaining this permission is to enter the Land of Inheritance, select the corresponding extraordinary book, and then pay Dark Points.

Wang Ya randomly selected an extraordinary book from the bookshelf, titled "An Analysis of Dreams and Consciousness."

Wang Ya's eyes lit up as soon as he turned the first page.
