Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 400 [400] A Level Three Wizarding Artifact: A Sword Bearing the Power of Dreams

Wang Ya realized that he seemed to have made a mistake in his judgment.

After leaving the ant-man settlement, he made a new discovery.

In a majestic mountain range, trees hundreds of meters tall can be seen everywhere, their dense foliage blocking out the sunlight, yet trees only exist outside the mountains.

The mountains are bare, with various ravines and rocks that have been shaped into human-like forms by wind and sun.

Exquisitely crafted, as if nature itself were a pair of giant hands, specially sculpting them for them. The entire mountain is covered with stone sculptures of varying heights, the tallest reaching three hundred meters.

It is also the oldest, with every part of its body bearing the marks of time, covered in moss and stained with dust.

A faint rumbling sound could be heard, indicating a landslide at this altitude.

"No one would have imagined that a stone-type race would appear in such a place."

Two figures stood high in the sky, their forms blending into the void. Wizards of lower strength could not detect their presence using their sensory abilities.

"If stones also have their own lives, what should we call them, stone men?" the Ghostly Wizard said with a smile.

Her eyes held curiosity about the many mountains and the stone figures on the mountain ranges. This race did not exist in the land of mountains and seas. The ant-people race had already greatly surprised her.

"The strongest one is that stone golem that's 300 meters tall. Its strength is only at the first level of extraordinary creature stage. Why did Nightmare Wizard bring me here? Is there some deeper meaning behind it?"

Wang Ya didn't say anything, but shook his head and said, "Let's continue exploring. We don't fully know the secrets that exist on this land."

The Spectral Wizard's expression also became serious, and he nodded slightly.

Whoosh!

The mighty river flows eastward, its waves surging and undulating. Along this long river, which winds through forests, mountains, and swamps, a great number of aquatic creatures live.

It has the characteristics of an amphibious animal, feeding on plankton in the water, but this is an extraordinary world, and if it is powerful enough, it will gradually change its diet.

At least Wang Ya discovered that these aquatic creatures had already begun to eat meat, starting with lower-level supernatural beings.

The average height is about half a meter, but the oldest of these creatures, the king of this aquatic species, is already ten meters tall. It lies hidden in the riverbed mud and sand, using its extended whiskers to hunt prey.

Wang Ya and the Ghost Light Wizard stood in the airspace above the riverbed. The latter's expression became slightly serious, clearly indicating that he had noticed something amiss.

After exploring for some distance, they discovered a new species of animal that had formed its own civilization. The two continued to observe silently, without any intention of making contact.

The Ghostlight Wizard's expression suggested he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wang Ya's voice appeared in the ears of the Ghostly Wizard, "It seems you've also become curious about what we're doing all this for, and why we've discovered so many strange races' settlements."

"It should be said that, why is it that in a place that is not very vast, and where so many races and civilizations should not exist, they appear in clusters?"

The Ghostlight Wizard gazed at Wang Ya's fair face and said softly, "The Nightmare Wizard has already discovered the clues, hasn't he? It's related to the original ant-human race, no, it should be said that it's related to all the racial civilizations. The traces of human intervention are too obvious. Someone is trying to use these racial civilizations for something."

"The problem lies in the dream space. I have discovered that every civilization's settlement possesses numerous dream segments, which are like copies of the same mold, yet they have different directions of development, their own emotional reactions, and even form their own faction within a dream segment, possessing their own destiny."

"The ant-people race is like this, the stone-people race is like this, including the races we see now. I once thought this was a method left behind by a dream wizard who had reached the level of a star wizard, and that they were following a different path from me."

Wang Ya said softly, "But I found that I was wrong. This judgment is fundamentally untenable, especially after I discovered the gathering places of other races and civilizations in reality. This judgment is completely refuted."

The Ghostly Wizard watched as the young wizard in black robes turned around, his dark eyes, which held a vastness and mystery like the cosmos, now shone with an unprecedented light.

The power contained within that light startled her, and she even subconsciously avoided eye contact.

"I am a Dream Wizard. Even if I only reached the Star Wizard level of Element Wizard, the power is shared. I can also exert the Star Wizard power of the Dream Wizard system. There is no reason why I cannot see through the methods of other Dream Wizards."

"It is highly unlikely that a Moonlit Wizard will appear in the online region. The strongest wizarding forces are keeping a close eye on the development of wizarding forces in the online region. Once a new Moonlit Wizard appears, they will definitely strike."

The Gloom Wizard smiled at the young wizard in black robes. The smile was familiar, filled with expectation and greed, and it bore a resemblance to the Gloom Wizard of yesteryear.

Her eyes were glazed over, and she didn't come to her senses for a moment.

Wang Ya continued, "Then why is there such a strange situation? What purpose can the creation of so many civilizations of different races serve? These seemingly unreasonable measures must have a real purpose."

"I have discovered clues, as well as traces of wizarding methods from other wizarding factions. The Ghost Light Wizards, perhaps we are about to face a war, but at the same time, it is also an unprecedented opportunity."

The Wizard of Ghost Light was startled, looking at Wang Ya in disbelief, only to find that those black eyes were quietly watching her, or more accurately, seeing something beyond reality through her body.

She also subconsciously glanced back, her extraordinary mental power allowing her gaze to pierce through illusions and enter the dream space.

It remained exactly as it was, with no unusual features discovered.

But Wang Ya's actions and behavior made her uneasy about the ordinary dream space.

The white arc of light danced, the power of the Eye of Truth flowing through Wang Ya's eyes. Through illusion and reality, he discovered the truth of this land. Everything composed of disordered and distorted polluted lines was a disguise, the most superficial part. Only the existence of a corner of the dream was the most crucial point to unlock the truth.

Each racial civilization's settlement is a unique anchor point, its location fixed within the dream space.

The purpose of anchor points is to fix reality and prevent getting lost in the chaos of dreams. This is something that every dream wizard, and even wizards, understand.

However, the replica of a corner of the dream, the distance between its parts, and the order of its arrangement all follow a pattern, directly corresponding to real-world gathering places of racial civilizations.

In other words, according to Wang Ya's speculation, the number of racial civilization settlements in the original dream space corresponds to the number of dream corner replicas of a single racial civilization settlement.

And every settlement of a racial civilization has a corresponding replica.

If there are nine civilizations, then each civilization would have nine replicas of a corner of the dream, totaling eighty-one, which is a multiple of the same number.

Finding the pattern is finding the source.

Wang Ya's Eye of Truth also revealed the reality hidden beneath the dream.

The light spots formed by the special anchor points gradually connected together, forming a huge wizard array. Furthermore, these arrays continued to expand, gradually taking on the shape of a concrete substance.

The distorted lines and splattered paint in the dream space were all parting, revealing the true nature of what lay inside.

It was an incomparably magnificent cross-shaped longsword, its blade reflecting dreamlike scenes, all depicting life in the settlements of corresponding races and civilizations. Their past and future were copied onto the blade, becoming nourishment for the sword and nurturing it.

This is a sword belonging to a dream, with incredible power. Even in a state of nurturing, it can still give people an unimaginable sense of awe.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted, and a voice echoed in his mind, "A level-three sublimated magical artifact under nurturing, a sword bearing the illusory power of dreams!!"
