Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 403 [403] The return of living creatures within the white mist accelerates the invasion

Towering towers stand on the barren plains, the light from particle-charged energy squeezing out the light from the sky, and beneath the earth's veins are bright mechanical lines and pipes.

The unique interplay of light casts a dim and grayish hue over the entire plain. From a distance, majestic peaks rise into view, but they are all crisscrossed by similar mechanical lines and pipes, as if piercing the heart to draw out hot blood.

Similar phenomena appeared in every corner of the plain, all bearing traces of human activity, along with incredibly obvious extraordinary radiation fluctuations that extended along an arc and formed unique stratified radiation waves.

The closer to the center, the greater the fluctuations in the natural particle energy tide, and the more energy can be supplied.

Each mechanical modification site is nearly ten times the size of a Longhu Kingdom, and the nearest adjacent sites are thousands or even tens of thousands of times the size of a Longhu Kingdom.

Located at the very center of this plain, five towering structures stand side by side, forming a unique pentagonal grid. They watch over each other, and the terrifying energy inputs circulate among them, giving this area an indescribable environment of massive natural energy tides.

Any being with extraordinary spirituality could rapidly increase their strength and reach the limits of their bloodline and genes in such an environment.

"Blood Moon, how long do you think we'll have to endure this? How much longer will we have to live like this?"

One of the five towers was constructed entirely of a strange, dark green metal. A figure in a green wizard's robe stood on the platform extending outwards from the top of the tower, overlooking the entire plain, from the vast clusters of buildings below to the tiny black dots of mechanical stations that almost merged with the sky in the distance.

His eyes showed no emotion, as if they had been eroded by the passage of time, appearing weathered and ancient.

He held a wooden staff in his right hand, topped with a dark green orb that seemed to resonate with, and even control, the energy transmission and fluctuations of the entire wizard tower.

"Sky Wizard, no one can answer your questions, not me, nor the other three, but this is our choice, isn't it?"

A soft, feminine voice appeared behind him, like a gust of wind, drifting throughout the world, its exact shape and location impossible to discern.

A figure clad in a blood-red wizard's robe slowly emerged from the void, materializing into a physical form. The crescent moon pattern on the robe radiated a bright luster, seemingly possessing a captivating allure.

The Blood Moon Wizard had long, curly black hair that was casually draped over his shoulders. A complex expression appeared on his handsome, otherworldly face. Standing beside the Sky Curtain Wizard, he was also gazing at the distant scenery, as if he could see something far away, something that they both cared about.

"This is our choice! Now that we've made it, there's no going back."

The Sky Wizard gripped the green orb staff tighter and whispered, "This is an unprecedented gamble, but the chances of failure are too high. That's a level three Radiant Moon being! The Frost Council dominates the entire Frostland, and there are countless level three beings within it."

"We only have one sword, and it's a broken sword, an incomplete sword."

"Yes, we only have one sword, but even if it's broken, it's still a sword that can pose a threat to them. What we need to do is repair it."

The Blood Moon Wizard took a deep breath, his voice low and somber, "After all, that was my teacher's last wish."

The Sky Wizard sighed and said, "I've almost forgotten how many years it's been under construction. The Pale Hand is already under absolute pressure. The resources that each person can be allocated are at their theoretical limit. If it goes any further, I'm afraid people will notice something amiss."

"Let's leave it as it is. We've already waited so long, time is the last thing we're short of."

The Blood Moon Wizard seemed to remember something and said, "We can start recruiting a new batch of wizards recently. We've found quite a few promising talents in various places."

"Go and handle it. As long as there are no problems in the forbidden area, the death fog is a good excuse."

The Blood Moon Wizard remarked, "There are still quite a few mortals living in the forbidden area, and they seem to be doing quite well. Should we bring them out?"

Population plays a significant role in any wizarding faction, providing fresh blood and ensuring its survival.

"No need. It's best to keep the forbidden area mysterious and undisturbed. That's how it's been for thousands of years."

It is located in a wizard city on the opposite edge of the Pale Plain.

Two figures dressed in black wizard robes entered a wizard's mansion.

"Wizards, your food will be delivered in half an hour."

The wizard waiter bowed slightly, stepped out of the private room, and activated the isolation and protective magic array.

Wang Ya sat in a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his expression thoughtful.

"The strength of this wizarding force called the Pale Hand is currently unknown, but the territory they occupy is truly vast."

The Ghostly Wizard picked up a cup of beverage from the table, took a sip, and then put it down.

The drinks here taste quite different from those in mountainous and coastal areas, perhaps due to the influence of the geographical environment.

Wang Ya didn't speak, but was thinking about something.

That sword-raising area was indeed very special. It took almost a day and a night to completely leave that area. Just as the Ghostly Wizard had said, the territory controlled by the Pale Hand was too vast.

Logically speaking, if we devote all our efforts to maintaining that sword, we should be able to repair it in a very short time.

The Eye of Truth observed the essence and learned the name of the sword: "Night Dream".

Unlike the Immortal Realm Legendary Civilization, some powerful artifacts in the Primordial Legendary Civilization possess their own consciousness, and some even have artifact spirits.

Wizards' magical artifacts generally lack a spirit, or if they do, they lack self-awareness.

Not for any other reason, but simply because a tool is a tool, and its purpose is for wizards to use.

A tool with self-awareness is not a good tool.

This gave Wang Ya some unusual thoughts: could he bypass the Pale Hand wizards' control over the sword and take it over?

In this way, the Pale Hand loses its biggest trump card, and its power level is limited to the Star Wizard level.

Several days of investigation have revealed that the Pale Hand possesses five Star Wizards, as well as an uncountable number of other full-fledged wizards. This is an absolute secret for any wizarding faction.

The five ancient Star Wizards are still a significant threat, but they are far less threatening than the Star Wizard who wields a level-three ascended artifact.

In Wang Ya's mind, the image of the Sea Dragon Wizard activating the Sea Dragon Horn appeared. The scene was truly terrifying, causing the world to turn upside down and the entire corridor island to collapse as a result.

In terms of geographical scope, it may not even be as large as the area where swords are raised.

However, the sword-nurturing area calculated by Wang Ya included a large number of mortal territories and kingdoms, such as the Dragon Lake Kingdom, which were also within the scope of sword nurturing. The Eye of Truth observed the essence of the earth's veins. Although it was very subtle, it still could not escape Wang Ya's eyes. All the natural particle energy surged into the sword-nurturing area.

The area where the natural environment has truly returned to normal is a mortal kingdom called the "Tianlong Kingdom".

That's the real border, with a natural and rational tidal cycle, and a wizard teleportation array.

It was in that wizard city that Wang Ya and the Ghost Light Wizard learned about the Pale Hand.

These two cannot be compared in terms of territorial scope. The Corridor Island has had the solidification of the marine corridor for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, of witch array runes. To a certain extent, it surpasses the foundation level of the sword-raising area.

"In terms of high-end combat power, let's define the Pale Hand as having five Star Wizards, which is more than the Heart of Conquest's three Star Wizards. However, we possess several Level 3 Ascended Wizard Artifacts, so we are not much weaker than them."

Wang Ya also took his own combat strength into account in this regard.

Since breaking through to the Star Wizard level, he has not yet actually fought anyone, but he is confident that he can fight multiple Star Wizards at the same time.

After this investigation, he prepared to analyze his own combat strength, refine his direction on the wizarding path, and determine the extent to which he could truly achieve his goals.

The simulated battlefield of the Eye of Truth also needs an upgrade.

It also has other functions.

Subconsciously groping his fingers, Wang Ya blinked his eyes slightly, a very obvious feedback reaction, just like when he was promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice, a formal wizard. The Eye of Truth was about to undergo a new transformation.

As for whether the transformation will result in new functions or enhanced original abilities, Wang Ya doesn't know.

But there's a peculiar premonition that this transformation of the Eye of Truth will bring about unprecedented changes.

"Mid-level combat power, the number of formal wizards, and the number of Pale Hands is at least fifty or more."

Wang Ya frowned slightly. In this respect, the desire to conquer could not compare. The foundation was not accumulated enough, and it was only a remnant of the Dark Lands that created the wizarding force.

To develop to the point of the Pale Hand, having more official wizards and the resources gained from conquering the canyon and the world altar should be sufficient, but time is lacking and the will to conquer is insufficient.

However, the existence of the white mist area isolates the inside from the outside, and there is enough time as the Pale Hand cannot detect the Heart of Conquest.

However, we cannot be blindly optimistic. After the investigation, Wang Ya plans to accelerate the development of the Heart of Conquest, so that the wizards with potential can unleash their potential and improve their combat power as soon as possible.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. There were excess resources, but the pace of improvement could not be maintained. Some of the weak Wizard Hearts were pure dross and should have been eliminated long ago.

This is something that no wizarding faction can avoid.

Many people have close relationships with high-ranking wizards, which is why they often cannot completely resolve these relationships.

Wang Ya is a leader, not a decision-maker; he has the ability to do things that ordinary wizarding factions' decision-makers would not dare to do.

Let the capable rise to the top and the incompetent fall from the top.

The entropy of all things increases, but if we can reduce entropy, we can unleash unimaginable power from the desire to conquer.

Resources are plentiful, opportunities abound, and the path forward is clear.

High pressure from the outside world and oppression from enemies also exist.

Wang Ya's lips curled into a smile as he looked up at the doorway. The magic array had been dispelled, and the wizard waiters carried in the corresponding dishes, one after another, quickly filling the gaps on the table.

"Nightmare Wizard, shall we continue deeper, or are there other options?"

"We've covered most of what we can find out here. Continuing to investigate further will only attract the attention of those with ulterior motives within the Pale Hand organization, so there's no need for that."

Looking at the sashimi of some extraordinary creature emanating a chilling aura before him, Wang Ya said softly, "Eat, savor this rare delicacy from the Frosty Land."

The Ghostlight Wizard smiled, opened his thin lips, and took a bite of meat.

My eyes suddenly brightened.

The thick white fog remained as solid as a solid, unchanged, as if it had existed for thousands of years.

The eerie skeletons covered the entire ground, forming a sea of ​​bones, but under the influence of some special force, they gradually condensed at certain points, forming unique mountains of bones.

The biological shield formed by the white spores has reduced its safe zone considerably compared to before.

It was only because, in the process of returning to their fighting spirit, the two of them developed a desire to explore the secrets of the White Mist region.

It then descended considerably in altitude.

Chi Chi!

The white spores collide with the microscopic matter in the white mist, devouring, eroding, and proliferating with each other. The white spores have the advantage in this respect, combining the potential of the dark spores and the microscopic matter in the white mist, but they are still inferior to the microscopic matter in terms of scale.

Too many ants can kill an elephant!

Wang Ya was constantly monitoring the changes in the white spores. If the number of white spores decreased too much, the descent could be stopped.

"At an altitude of about 8,000 meters, Nightmare Wizard, can you still hold on? Or should I take over?"

The Ghostlight Wizard turned to look at Wang Ya, whose face remained calm, and couldn't help but speak up.

"No need, it's part of my plan."

Wang Ya's brows twitched suddenly, and his gaze fell downwards. A hazy outline appeared, just like the bizarre and grotesque mountain of skeletons in the white mist area near the sword-nurturing area.

This is a new mountain of bones!!

and many more!

Wang Ya's pupils contracted. The two of them lowered their flight altitude considerably, getting closer and closer to the mountain of bones. But faintly, the outline of the mountain was trembling.

Are you kidding me? There are living things here!!

P.S.: There will be another update later. I'm going to update my new book with 4,000 words first. It's in its first round of updates. Please check out the new book every day and follow along.

With over 500 favorites and less than 80 reads, I'm about to lose my mind. If I let this book die, oh well, I'll cry!
