Wizards pursue the truth

"The changes to the 'Illusory and Real Nightmare Annihilation Meditation Method' will take five years, supported by a layer of computing power, which is within my expectations."

Wang Ya returned to reality from the bubble world and sat in the top-floor office of the new temporary headquarters of the Heart of Conquest, in the new Conquest Tower.

A cold wind blew into the window from afar, blowing the curtains and lifting his black hair. As far as the eye could see, there was only the vast territory of the battlefield, with no end in sight, except for a touch of the dream borderland he had created, with its strange and complex colors.

Compared to the past, the new battle tower is much, much taller.

Wang Ya possesses far more resources and a larger pool of wizards he can mobilize.

Everything has changed, yet everything seems unchanged.

He still needs to strive for resources and knowledge. This process involves pursuing truth, understanding the unknown, and continuously improving his abilities and broadening his horizons.

Wang Ya did not think this was a bad thing; on the contrary, he enjoyed it. Every bit of progress, every improvement, and every discovery of the unknown brought him joy.

His long-held idea has always been to include more of the world's vast and wondrous unknowns in his collection.

"The third manifestation of the anomaly, the cataclysmic disaster of the end times, the final desolation of the world, is—the Path of Ash Annihilation and Lightning Strike."

As Wang Ya's thoughts turned, the white arc of the Eye of Truth flickered and appeared in his eyes.

[Target: Ash Calamity Annihilation Lightning Path.]

[Details: Using Nightmare Annihilation Ball Lightning, Magnetic Silence Lightning Sword, Elemental Wizard's Path, and Energy Nightmare Annihilation Mystic Art, the extraordinary phenomenon manifests as the 'Ash Annihilation Lightning Path'.]

Current progress: 0%

[Estimated completion time: 3 years]

A smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips. Twenty years had passed. Subtracting the five years of the Black and White Monarch Blood Emperor Raven and the three years of the Void Endless Annihilation Flame, the remaining twelve years might not only manifest as expected, but also produce four petals, or even five.

The stronger one's power, the greater the influence and value one wields when joining the Crimson Society.

Wang Ya then thought of Black Soul Wang Ya.

In the world of bubbles, he chose to help the Dark Soul King Ya Jin advance to become a Star Wizard, and compete for power within the Black Tower.

The Eye of Truth designed an excellent path for him to become a wizard.

Based on its original foundation, it incorporates the exquisite knowledge passed down by the Blood Moon Wizard, Sky Curtain Wizard, Crimson Blood Wizard, and other Star Wizards.

—The Six Heavens, Myriad Self, Source Venerable Dao

That is the name of this new wizarding path.

Gamo Sack's special particle energy—the universal self.

The "All-Encompassing Domain" magic uses sound and sonic wave amplitude to target the enemy's physical body and even their soul and consciousness.

The six days correspond to the exquisite lineage of several major star wizards.

If the many Star Wizards of the Pale Hand who died knew that their inherited knowledge could still be used, they would surely have gone to the underworld with a smile of satisfaction.

Within the Sark family's Star Tower, a vast amount of starlight, guided by the magic array, descends and converges at a single point. A figure, naked, sits cross-legged at this location, undergoing the tempering of the starlight.

His eyes, which had been tightly closed, opened at this moment, and the consciousness of Black Soul King Ya returned to reality.

"My own wizarding path, the Six Heavens Myriad Source Venerable Path, has finally been created."

"My talent, my intelligence, and my wisdom have all contributed to my creation of the Six Heavens Myriad Self Source Venerable Path."

Black Soul King Ya wore a happy expression.

"It really feels great to have someone backing you up," he thought to himself.

Looking up, the starlight almost solidified, flowing continuously through his body, seemingly penetrating his flesh and even his internal organs and bone marrow.

The constant sense of improvement placed him in a warm, blissful state, making it easy for him to become addicted. Ultimately, the starlight could completely obliterate his body or damage his foundation. The physical body could recover and regenerate, but the stronger the body, the more resources and higher-grade recovery items were required. The starlight could affect the mind and consciousness, but Black Soul King Ya's current strength was far beyond that of a former wizard apprentice, and his consciousness and spirit were much stronger, allowing him to withstand a greater degree of the starlight's cleansing.

"Fifty years, give me another fifty years, and I will be able to break through to the Star Wizard level."

Black Soul King Ya felt that it was about time, and that going too far would be counterproductive, so he stood up and shut down the Star Guiding Array.

The magic array teleported him to the bedroom on the top floor of the Star Tower.

There is a second person here.

Wearing only a thin nightgown, Qiuqiu Dong·Lola was combing her hair in front of the mirror. Her beautiful face, thin lips, and eyes that seemed to hold a hint of water were striking her. Noticing the movement, she looked at Black Soul King Ya.

Qiuqiu Dong revealed a faint smile, "Ge Mo, you seem to be in a good mood. Did something happen that made you happy?"

As she spoke, she took the initiative to walk over, put her arm around Black Soul King Ya's shoulder, and pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed. She began to talk about some family matters and small things in her life. Asking questions was just a way to start a conversation.

Black Soul King Ya naturally didn't care too much, and skillfully put his arm around Qiu Qiu Dong's waist, letting her rest her head in his arms and on his shoulder.

She then spoke about some issues on the path of a wizard.

Black Soul King Ya also shared some of his insights.

Each time memories are exchanged, a large amount of extraordinary knowledge is synchronously transferred from the original body. Coupled with the inheritance and teachings of the ancient dragon great wizard, the foundation of Black Soul King Ya is not much worse than that of an ordinary star wizard.

In every aspect, she could completely overwhelm Qiuqiudong Laura, who had only recently broken through to the True Spirit Wizard realm.

In some respects, Dark Souls King Ya can be considered Qiuqiu Dong Laura's teacher.

His smooth little hands caressed his chest, the lovely person in his arms seemed soft and boneless, their skin pressed tightly together, and they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"Kam, there was a time when I thought such a thing would never happen, but I never thought it would actually happen. I'm so happy, I even thought I was dreaming."

"But I know it's real, you really came to my side, it's so good, so good."

Autumn Winter·Lola nestled in the arms of Black Soul King Ya, looked up, their eyes met, their breaths brushing against each other's cheeks, and the wizard's eyesight could see a few fine hairs on their skin.

"Will we stay together forever, Gamor?"

"Of course, autumn, autumn, winter, my love for you is as clear as the sun and moon, and the will of the wizarding world cannot distort or change my thoughts and love."

Black Soul King Ya's voice was incredibly magnetic. He spoke gently, and then, with the hand that wore the ring given to him by Qiu Qiu Dong, he intertwined his fingers and pressed them even closer together.

The atmosphere in the room grew heavier and thicker with each breath.

call!

Black Soul King Ya took a deep breath, but before he could exhale, a thin, small mouth sealed his lips.

Like a kitten, it tentatively peeks out, then quickly retreats.

Black Soul King Ya turned the tables and took the initiative.

The two were wrapped in blankets.

A small portion of the starlight, passively drawn by the magic array, created a unique and beautiful cloud of light around the Star Tower, resembling a dreamlike place.

This night is destined to be long.

What kind of person was the Ancient Dragon Wizard?

Every wizard in the Black Tower who knows of the existence of the Ancient Dragon Archmage can offer their own subjective answer.

Even the other two Grand Wizards of the Moonlight gave different answers.

Dark Souls King Ya also has an answer regarding his teacher.

A person of strong emotions.

Without excessive constraints, rules, or differences in status, he could have a pleasant conversation even with an ordinary mortal—this was the Ancient Dragon Wizard.

——Ancient Dragon's Great Secret Realm

Thick black smoke billowed across the sky, originating from a massive ancient volcano. The constantly erupting lava eroded the surrounding land, extinguishing life and turning vegetation into barren wasteland, a scene of deathly silence. Only the lava eruption, like the pulse of a heartbeat, remained eternally present.

However, a stone staircase leads from the entrance of the volcano all the way to the crater at its highest point; the unique structures built around the crater's edge resemble railings.

A figure walked at a leisurely pace from the foot of the mountain all the way to the crater.

His speed was strange, as if there was some kind of overlap in space. Often, when he stepped over a step, it seemed as if he had moved thousands of meters.

A thick cloud of black smoke lingered in the air at all times; any trace of it would be enough to incinerate a mortal and reduce them to nothingness.

Even some top-tier wizard apprentices would find it difficult to climb the almost endless staircase in such a natural environment.

The volcano was so large that it almost reached the sky of the secret realm. After disappearing into the high black clouds, the erupting lava poured down like a celestial river.

When Black Soul King Ya stepped onto the crater and saw the heart of this secret world, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Blinding yellow and red light emanated from the crater and reflected in his pupils.

Thinking to himself, "The Six Heavens Myriad Self Source Venerable Path, which I developed with my wisdom and effort, is indeed powerful. Even before truly advancing to the Star Wizard level, it has already increased my original strength several times over and granted me some techniques that only Star Wizards possess."

"What used to be a strenuous climb to the top of Gulong Volcano is now not too difficult for me, saving me more than half the time."

The magma inside the giant crater seemed to be writhing, causing the entire volcano to tremble. Rock fragments fell, cracks appeared in the ground, and lava and mudflows poured into the surrounding area under the influence of gravity.

Dark Soul King Yadu released a particle energy shield to isolate himself from the oppressive damage from the environment. At the same time, he pushed off with his feet, as if taking root, and dug halfway into the rock layer to stabilize his body.

An indescribable aura emanated from the entire secret realm, as if an ancient being was about to be born.

Without any wind, thousands of thick black lava ash billowed upwards into the sky. Black Soul King Ya looked somewhat nervous and chuckled, "This is truly overwhelmingly powerful. No matter how many times I see it, it's always incredibly strong."

"Mr. Gu Long, has your strength increased again? What is it like to feel like you are getting stronger all the time? I really want to experience it."

Whoosh!

The magma resembled seawater, and this tremor caused the magma from deeper within to surge out, its color turning into an eerie golden-white, like real mercury. It exhibited some solidity, possessing fluid properties, but presented itself visually in this way.

Its two metal horns, with hooks, stand upright and are silvery-white. Its scales are arranged as if they were carved metal. Its whiskers are covered with a large amount of golden-white lava, which drips down and onto the original lava sea.

dragon!

An indescribably enormous dragon, its head could barely protrude from a giant volcano over a million meters in size, with only half of its head showing.

Even so, that astonishing aura caused the entire secret realm to tremble.

This is the Ancient Dragon Wizard, one of the three great Radiant Moon Wizards of the Black Tower.

The evolved bloodline true form.

—Destroy the Ancient Dragon.

The dragon opened its eyes, and the golden-white light seemed to illuminate the entire secret realm.

"Gam, you seem to have undergone a significant change. I sense a familiar aura, and I also see some unknown things."

The sound, like the booming of an ancient bell, echoed throughout this world.

"Teacher, I have found my path to the future. I am confident that I will be able to break through to the level of Star Wizard within fifty years."

A sudden burst of light emanated from Black Soul King Ya's body, stubbornly squeezing out even under the gaze of the Ancient Dragon of Annihilation, illuminating the sky.

Various strange scenes gradually emerged, including powerful witchcraft and terrifying domains occupying the heavens and earth. This was the wizarding path of the Black Soul King Ya, which was being shown to the Ancient Dragon Grand Wizard and was also being tested by the other party.

A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the ancient dragon wizard. "Not bad, Gamor. I didn't expect that you could make such great progress in just over ten years. Your wisdom and talent are among the best of the young wizards I have ever seen. Your foundation is also good. It seems that you have absorbed and integrated the inheritance paths of multiple star levels, and refined them into your own essence."

"Breaking through to the Star Wizard level in fifty years is difficult, but it is indeed possible. I have high hopes for Gamor. If you can really do it, I will discuss with the other two Moon Wizards and allow you to become a new candidate for the spot, and then decide on the final candidate at the appropriate time."

Black Soul King Ya knew that this would definitely require the Ancient Dragon Wizard to pay a heavy price.

After all, a newly promoted Star Wizard is different from a veteran Star Wizard. If it weren't for the support of his original self, he wouldn't have been confident that he could compete with the Iron God Wizard and the Thorn Wizard.

"Six Heavens Myriad Source Venerable Path, Teacher, this is the name of my future wizarding path."

Black Soul King Ya's voice, each word resounding with power and conviction.

"Good, very good, Gamo. Improve your strength and foundation as much as possible. I will give you the extraordinary resources you want within the rules."

The ancient dragon wizard was overjoyed.

—The World of Bubbles

Beneath the Nightmare Tree, Wang Ya met the long-lost wizard Lando.

"You're aiming to break through to the Dao Fruit Human Immortal realm in three days?"

"It's definitely a Dao Fruit Immortal, not a True Spirit Wizard!!"

Wang Ya's gaze, tinged with surprise, fell upon the 'Lando Wizard' who was a head shorter than him.

The other person was not wearing a wizard's robe, but had changed into an ancient-style long robe, a crown, a jade pendant at the waist, and a bamboo flute.

P.S.: There will be another update later. (End of this chapter)
