Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 306 [306] The dispute at the meeting reignites, and another source of trouble is launched!

Ten days later.

Wang Ya walked out of the laboratory on the third floor, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

The path to becoming a wizard has a relatively clear plan and goal.

The focus is on extending the path of dream wizards, creating subsequent versions of the Dream Meditation Technique, and perfecting the Nightmare Dream Inheritance, all of which will become important chapters in the Book of Harak. Of course, Wang Ya could not possibly complete this series of plans in just ten days.

[Target: Wang Ya Harak]

[Strength: Level 1 Official Wizard (Limited State, Path of Legend)]

Current mental strength: 64

Current physical condition: 57

Particle Energy: 170 units

[Dream Power: 178 units]

【回梦冥想法：『基础篇（9/9）』『进阶篇（12/12）』『高等篇（15/15）』】

[Current active neurons: 30%]

Legend has it that the effects of the potion are comprehensive; even when the Dream Recall Meditation method is temporarily suspended, it can increase the number of active neurons by 4%.

The rate at which his physical and mental strength values ​​grow is something that no newly promoted official wizard in the entire Mountain and Sea Land can match.

Moreover, there is no instability in their cultivation level or any unstable aura. As long as they have sufficient resources, they can continue to improve.

Until the current limit is broken, that is the stage of a second-level Star Wizard.

However, this is a major problem.

The legendary Heart Potion requires the use of things like the core of the world's ley lines and the ley line placenta. Wang Ya frowned, then seemed to think of something and relaxed.

The Fortress of Conquest sustains the existence of the Deep Blue World, but it will one day fall into destruction and be swallowed up by the Wizarding World.

As each component and facility is integrated into the conquest fortress, the process will accelerate continuously.

The Deep Blue World is a world in itself. Since it's going to be swallowed up anyway, it's good to scavenge some precious resources like the core of the ley lines, the placenta, or the embryo of the world beforehand.

Wang Ya has now gathered all the raw materials needed to refine the legendary series of extraordinary potions.

Having experienced the benefits of those three legendary Heart Potions, Wang Ya was also able to confirm that the normal way of accumulating breakthroughs for wizards was not suitable for him.

As for rapidly increasing strength, there may be some issues with controlling that power.

Conquering worlds requires enduring comprehensive tests and high-intensity pressure.

The indigenous people's counterattack alone, and the malice of the world's consciousness, were enough to make the wizards who chose this path of breakthrough suffer a lot.

The tempering effect of numerous battles is also inevitable.

In this way, one can compensate for the shortcoming of gaining power too quickly and not being able to truly control it through combat.

Inside the study, claws rested on the extraordinary metal frame, the scratches still clearly visible. Harak flapped its wings and landed on Wang Ya's shoulder as he pushed open the door.

The Nightmare Mirror slid off his sleeve and was stored in his sleeve pocket. With his other hand, he picked up the Black Lotus Mask and covered his face.

The dark spores flickered erratically around Wang Ya's body with each breath, covering his robes and adding a layer of gray to the black surface, though not very noticeable.

The Dark High Council was extremely important to him, and the pressure was immense. He was about to face a large number of official wizards, including the twelve main lineages and branch lineages.

The number of veteran, formal wizards is definitely much greater than it was during the Battle of White Lake.

As for the final outcome of the meeting, Wang Ya could not predict it, but he would do his best to strive for it. The current situation was the limit of what he could achieve.

A large number of black butterflies flew out from the void layer and gathered together to form Wang Ya's figure. What came into view was a huge pyramid building. Figures flew in from all sides of the sky or walked out of the void and entered the pyramid building.

Wang Ya roughly sensed that the number of formal wizards who had arrived had already reached six.

The meeting will officially begin in half an hour.

"Unfamiliar faces, unfamiliar auras—the official wizarding community, not part of the twelve main lineages, how many branches are there? Only the Ghostlight Wizards probably know."

The secrets of the Underdark remain unknown, threatening other wizarding factions. Similarly, other wizarding factions also possess aspects that remain unseen.

Wang Yagang was about to enter the pyramid when his eyes flickered and he paused.

"Nightmare Wizard, it's been a long time."

A voice came from the other side. The newcomer was dressed in a white wizard's robe, with a well-proportioned figure, a broad smile on his face, and his eyes were narrowed. His tone was kind.

"Eighteen years is a long time, but it can also be short. A lot can happen in the Underdark, and even the face of the Nightmare Wizard has become somewhat unfamiliar."

"No matter how things change, there will always be familiar people and familiar surroundings," Wang Ya said with a faint smile.

The visitor sighed and said, "Things are always changing. There are too many unfamiliar things. Sometimes, after a closed-door experiment, familiar people disappear, and everything changes."

"Nothing is immutable. People and environments come and go, people rise and fall, and there is always a suitable place for everyone. I am not used to it at all, but I can only slowly get used to it."

"Even the rules are changing. Everything is changing too fast, too fast." The newcomer sighed with emotion.

A cold glint appeared in Wang Ya's eyes, and he sneered, "Shoggoth wizard, you have indeed changed a lot. After becoming a formal wizard, you no longer have to suppress your inner feelings so much. If your facial expressions could also change and become more restrained, that would be even better."

Wizard Shoggoth paused for a moment, touched his cheek, and then smiled broadly. "Whether something changes or remains the same depends on the external environment. People don't stay the same forever. It's just a pity that in the past eighteen years, Nightmare Wizard hasn't been in the Underdark and has missed so much."

The wizard Shoggoth's words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Wang Ya frowned slightly, glanced at the figure, then looked away and ignored it, his body enveloped by the light of the pyramid's magic array.

"We must always face reality. Strength and achievements are secondary. A qualified wizard needs to judge what is the highest priority: going with the flow or going against the current."

The wizard Shoggoth stared at the disappearing figure in black robes and muttered to himself.

"The time has come. I hereby declare the Dark High Wizards Conference officially open."

The Ghostlight Wizard sat in the highest position, his tone cold and his expression very serious.

On the huge round table, people sat down according to the twelve main veins and their corresponding patterns.

Many familiar faces remained: Rhine Wizard, Dragon Wizard, Fierce Tiger Wizard, and White Bone Wizard Wang Ya, representing the Dream Dream lineage, sat in the former Dream Dream Wizard's seat, to the left of the head of the table.

Directly in front of them was the expressionless face of the Bone Wizard.

Seemingly noticing Wang Ya's gaze, she slightly raised her head. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, but neither showed much emotion.

Behind the White Bone Wizard's chair stood a figure, none other than the Shoggoth Wizard, who smiled with his eyes narrowed. He gestured to Wang Ya and gave him a greeting.

Behind the seats of the other main lineages, there were more or less people standing, all of whom possessed the strength of formal wizards, with most being newly promoted wizards.

At the heart of the meeting space is a round table with twelve main veins.

Further out, the light dimmed, and the silhouettes of figures in the shadows were obscured, their faces indistinct. They were all official wizards from the branch lineages, participating in this supreme council of the Dark.

The change of rules and the replacement of the twelve main veins is a major event that will affect the entire Underdark.

They also have the right and the right to express their opinions or vote.

"I believe everyone understands the content of this Dark Meeting, which mainly consists of three points." The Dark Wizard's short stature meant he could only appear on the same plane by hovering in mid-air.

"First, the Battle of White Lake was the beginning of an early battle, so it is very likely that the Tower will continue to attack us. That will be a real all-out war. How to deal with the upcoming war, and how to prepare for wartime deployment in response to the full martial law in the Darklands."

Both the official wizards of the twelve main lineages and the official wizards of the branch lineages were moved.

War is no small matter; its impact is enormous.

Unless war brings greater benefits, generally speaking, no normal wizard would choose the path of war.

"Secondly, regarding the merits and rewards and punishments in the Battle of Baihu, we must not discourage those who have made contributions. This must be done fairly and justly."

Some of the wizards present subconsciously looked towards the location of the Bone Wizard, but looked away when they met his expressionless face.

The Wizard of the Gloom spoke very quickly, and his voice was not very loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

"The third matter is also something everyone is paying attention to and is currently underway: the plan to replace the twelve main veins, according to the rules set at the last Dark Council." The Dark Wizard paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the faces of everyone present, taking in all the reactions out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Ya could feel the gazes of some people focused on him.

No, it should be said that most people's eyes were on this side.

With such a huge uproar at headquarters, anyone with eyes can see something and guess Wang Ya's purpose.

However, most people don't think Wang Ya can change anything.

The rules have been set, and it's impossible to reverse them; that would be to go against the entire Underworld.

There is no one who could possibly accomplish this alone.

Even Wang Yahalak, who was once the most promising apprentice wizard on the First Dark Star.

Potential is potential, but the potential it possesses now may not be as great as that of Polaris after it has been fully nurtured and transformed.

Many wizards know that value is the primary factor. Some pearls and jade have been covered in dust and lost, but the original raw stones, after being polished, can fetch prices no less than those of pearls and jade.

Even if the pearls and jade are now found, cleaned, and shine with dazzling brilliance, the previous purchase and polishing of the stones cost a considerable amount of money, making the two essentially the same.

The preferred choice has long been out in the open.

Many discreet glances were directed at the Ghostlight Wizard.

The only one who can truly ascertain the matter is the Ghostlight Wizard.

"These are the three issues that need to be addressed in this meeting. I have prepared a solution for the second issue. You can take a look. If you agree, then implement it. If you disagree, then give your opinions and we will discuss it further."

The Ghostlight Wizard decided to deal with the easy and simple things first.

The first problem is wars with foreign powers.

The third issue is internal disputes.

None of them are easy to solve.

She knew perfectly well how many of those sitting in their seats were neutral, and how many had already taken sides.

However, even if the weak band together, they cannot possibly overthrow the alliance of the strong.

Even if the Dark faction intervenes, they would likely be helpless in the face of this situation, which could very well lead to internal instability.

Fundamentally, this is also beneficial to the Dark faction.

The Ghostlight Wizard spoke up: "In the Battle of White Lake, the Nightmare Wizard's contribution was remarkable. In addition to saving the Withered Wood Wizard and Thorn by pulling the tide, he also preserved Dragon Fang Wizard City and then reversed the decline, severely damaging the enemy's official wizards."

The Ghostlight Wizard gave Wang Ya a deep look. "Of course, the most important, greatest achievement and fame lies in the fact that Nightmare Wizard captured two of the enemy's official wizards in one fell swoop, one of whom was the veteran official wizard 'Crystal Wizard'."

Those present were shocked, as they had previously heard of the Nightmare Wizard's exploits in the Bone Wizard City.

Many of the reports were exaggerated, to the point that they were somewhat skeptical.

As newly promoted official wizards, it seems highly unlikely that they could defeat or even capture a veteran official wizard.

Could it be that the Nightmare Wizard has been drinking extraordinary potions like water every day for the past eighteen years?

The fact that the Ghostly Wizard spoke out proved the truth of the matter.

The least skeptical were the chief of the Water Margin, Saiya, Silver Moon, and Karen. They all gained opportunities from the Deep Blue Secret Realm, entered the gate to another world, and thus broke through to become formal wizards.

Eileen, the chief of the Kumu lineage, died during her breakthrough.

The Green Goblin, who was second in rank, took over the top position, but his strength hadn't even reached the limit state, and his situation was at best slightly better than that of the Eagle School.

It was only after breaking through to become a formal wizard that I realized how difficult it was to continue improving my strength, and even to consolidate it and strengthen my foundation.

This is a real, long process of accumulation.

But now a real example has emerged.

They were the same group of wizard apprentices who entered the Deep Blue Realm together. Why was the other able to do something so almost exaggerated in such a short time?

Both of them, the chief of the dragons, Fox, and the chief of the tigers, White Guding, who had also been promoted to formal wizards, stared intently at the black-robed figure sitting with his back straight.

Unbelievable!!

What exactly happened to Wang Yahalak over those eighteen years, and how much stronger did he become?

A mystery that cannot be solved.

This is something that many formal wizards are curious about and want to know.

Of the information gathered from various sources, very little was truly useful; even knowing what methods the other side had used was difficult to compile into a written document.

His fingers gently touched the bird's head inside his sleeve. The bird's beak opened, clamping the finger between its teeth, its slender tongue lightly licking it. Wang Ya's expression remained calm as he quietly awaited the continuation of the meeting, which would then turn to the rest of the story about the Ghostly Wizard.

We'll address the three issues one by one; the second one isn't the most important.

Wang Ya really cares about the third one; the first one is secondary.

Unless it's a natural ring tower, and you really want to risk being attacked by other wizarding forces, clinging to the Underdark and mutually attrition, only to be completely wiped out in the end.

The ones who will have the last laugh are probably the Rotten Lands, the Mechanical Heart, and the Ocean Corridor.

Fortunately, the loss of two wizarding factions also reduces the pressure of resource depletion, and may even make the land of mountains and seas more prosperous.

The Wizard of Gloom closed the document in his hand and said, "If there are any further opinions, please feel free to speak up. If not, then this second problem is resolved. Those who deserve rewards and those who deserve punishments will be dealt with accordingly."

"Nightmare Wizard, you don't have any objections, do you? What do you think of the arrangement for this result?" The Spectral Wizard looked over.

"The arrangements can be made by the Spectral Wizard; I have no major objections," Wang Ya paused, then continued, "However, I will not hand over the Dark Bat Wizard and the Crystal Wizard to the Enforcement Department or the Inspection Department of Headquarters."

As the others' expressions changed slightly and they were about to speak, a cold smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips. "I think in the entire Underdark, no one can get the information from the minds of two formal wizards faster or more accurately than me."

Those formal wizards who were about to speak also shut their mouths, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

After the Dream Wizard disappeared, the best choice to take on this task was King Ahalaq, who was also a formal wizard.

After dealing with the second problem, the Ghostlight Wizard immediately dispelled the levitation technique, and the small body landed on the chair without saying a word.

The entire meeting space was unusually quiet; the sound of some wizards lightly tapping their feet on the ground could be heard clearly.

Wang Ya's brows twitched slightly, a hint of surprise in his heart. He had clearly thought of something and couldn't help but look at the Ghost Light Wizard.

The latter had his eyes closed and his expression was indifferent, as if he were detached from the matter.

A beautiful figure, both familiar and unfamiliar, emerged from the shadows behind the Ghostly Wizard.

"Next, I will take the lead and work together to finalize the plan for the third question."

The woman in the black robe had fair skin, stunning beauty, and long hair cascading over her shoulders; her expression was extremely cold.

The aura emanating from him had reached the level of a formal wizard.

She is the North Star.

"I believe the Twelve Main Veins Replacement Plan is absolutely necessary. It is the most appropriate change based on the rules of the Underdark, and it will make the Underdark better and better."

As Polaris spoke, his pupils stared coldly at Wang Ya, like a sharp sword piercing through Wang Ya's heart.

His aura unconsciously emanated, pressing down on Wang Ya's location.

The Gloom Wizard, seated at the head of the table, frowned slightly but did not open his eyes. He lay back in his chair, resting with his eyes closed.

"I, Polaris, will open a new lineage, named 'Netherworld'."

The formal wizards in the conference space were visibly moved. The word "Netherworld" carried immense weight, subconsciously leading them to think of something else entirely.

The face of the new lineage leader, Netherworld White Bone Wizard, showed surprise. He squinted and looked at Polaris seriously, his hand unconsciously gripping the armrest of the chair.

The wizard Shoggoth noticed this, and his eyes visibly lit up.

He immediately said, "I agree with the plan to replace the twelve main veins. I, Shoggoth, have also decided to open another vein, named 'Green Panic'."

As if in a chain reaction, every wizard who had the idea of ​​starting a new lineage spoke up and expressed their wishes.

"I, Bai Guding, will establish another lineage called 'White Tiger'."

"I, Fox, will establish another lineage called 'Desolate Poison'."

In an instant, the entire conference space was filled with a powerful aura, dominated by Polaris, which merged with the voices of the formal wizards. This terrifying, invisible aura swept towards Wang Ya.
