Wizards pursue the truth

Towering peaks rise one after another, each millions or tens of millions of meters high, shrouded in golden mist, yet covered by golden light emanating from the void, creating an ecosystem where billions of lives are influenced by this golden light; at the center lies a land of boundless light, an indescribably magnificent golden palace, which, from the outside, appears as a sublime holy tower reaching the ends of the heavens and the core of the earth.

The golden light materialized into several wizarding characters, which then manifested in the sky above the spatial rift entrance of the land of boundless light.

It is the "Supreme Heavenly Realm of the Venerable Emperor".

The style is too different from that of wizards. In Wang Ya's opinion, it is similar to the Daoist temples of the immortals in the Immortal Realm Legend Civilization in the database of the Eye of Truth.

Compared to the life on the land below, the Supreme Heavenly Realm of the Emperor is deserted, with few life forms coming and going. Only a few life forms from the Emperor World who are responsible for managing the Heavenly Realm transform into streams of light to enter and exit, or fly into the land or into the more distant oceans to collect the resources needed to maintain the Supreme Heavenly Realm.

"Nightmare Wizard, please come this way. The Supreme Emperor Wizard is already waiting for you in the Supreme Emperor Hall."

With its golden luster and crystal-like appearance, energy flows and the three elements maintain a balance, creating an unusual golden crystal humanoid figure. It is alive, with its own facial features and consciousness, and through the organs shaped in its throat, it can communicate normally with Wang Ya, who is following behind it.

"Please lead the way, sir."

Wang Ya vaguely sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the crystal figure, but it had little impact. In terms of strength, it was only at the level of a formal wizard.

The road he was walking on was a golden avenue, with each brick constructed entirely of the energy of the Supreme Emperor particles. Tiny black lines existed within them, circulating energy and emitting a buzzing sound. The aura it exuded was also extremely terrifying, leaving him somewhat speechless.

What one sees is a golden avenue constructed of imperial gold bricks. Looking up at the sky, golden clouds drift by, which are actually imperial particle energy that is condensing into mist. Even if it is not the immortal dojo of the legendary civilization of the immortal realm, it is not far off, and may even be more exaggerated.

This special world is the territory completely controlled by the Grand Wizard, and it is also his home ground, capable of unleashing terrifying power beyond comprehension.

Wang Ya vaguely sensed the disparity between different wizarding forces and different Moon Wizards; compared to the Dark Wizard of the Dark Lands—no, it should be Andersen—could he really be considered a true Moon Wizard? Probably not entirely; his strength might be less than a hundred percent of what it once was.

If the Grand Wizard had been present at the time, he could have easily crushed Andersen, who had not yet recovered to his peak condition, with a single hand.

According to the data self-assessed by the Eye of Truth, the Grand Wizard's mental strength is conservatively estimated to be above 280.

The gap was too large, so Wang Ya didn't use the Eye of Truth to conduct an in-depth analysis.

I only did a preliminary analysis of the information.

[Target: Supreme Emperor Wizard]

[Level: Tier 3 Radiant Moon Life]

[Mental Strength: Unknown]

[Physical constitution: Unknown]

[Information: Lifespan unknown, from the Frostland, one of the three Venerable-level powerhouses of the Crimson Society, possessing formidable strength, nearing the end of his Radiant Moon lifespan, with the potential to break through to the Sun level.]

The white arc of light gradually disappeared in his pupils. Wang Ya looked around at his surroundings. In the golden mist, he could see towering buildings, but they were not clear. They seemed to be far away, like a dream or a bubble that would dissipate at the slightest touch.

In reality, the mirage-like appearance was due to the sheer size of the Imperial Heaven Domain and the vast distances between its buildings.

Compared to the vast heavens, even tens of thousands of lives seem pale and lonely when placed inside.

Buzz!

A ripple-like energy wave spread out, stirring up waves of golden mist that shook the entire celestial realm, illuminating it with dazzling brilliance.

Wang Ya's gaze sharpened slightly, and his expression showed some surprise.

The golden crystal figure said, "Nightmare Wizard, there's no need to be nervous. This is the daily Royal Awakening performed by the Supreme Emperor Wizard to help more of us awaken our consciousness and life."

Wang Ya asked curiously, "Do you have your own name?"

"Of course, I am number 29. I have over 90,000 brothers and sisters. Every day, the Grand Sorcerer awakens even more brothers and sisters." After answering, the golden crystal figure number 29 then relayed the information rather stiffly: "We should head to the Grand Sorcerer's Hall."

"Can!"

Wang Ya gazed thoughtfully at the back of the golden crystal figure number 29, the data glow of the Eye of Truth flashing continuously in its socket.

He was touched and attracted by the Celestial Realm itself. This world might have been created entirely by the Venerable Emperor Wizard through spiritual particle energy.

In the application of particle energy, we may have reached the pinnacle under the existing rules.

Wang Ya, also an elemental wizard, saw more advanced things there and could absorb some experience that might help in shaping a balanced wizard body in reality.

No, it should be said that the Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune, along with the creation of the corresponding meditation method, played a crucial role in its development.

There is a lack of advanced knowledge and experience in this area.

He became even more curious about the Emperor's inheritance that he was about to obtain.

——The Palace of the Emperor.

It looks like an ordinary palace on the outside, but the interior space is huge. There are not many magnificent buildings. Instead, it is mostly decorated and influenced by the golden light and color of the royal particles.

The hall was very spacious and simple, with only one chair. An old man in a deep red wizard's robe stood up from his chair and smiled as he watched the black-robed, white-haired wizard, led by the golden crystal figure number 29, walk step by step.

"Nightmare Wizard, what do you think of my Heavenly Realm?"

"The golden light is endless and evolves in countless ways. The clouds and mist are merely an external reflection of spiritual energy, which is quite terrifying," Wang Ya gave a truthful assessment.

"It seems you are ready to inherit my royal legacy." The Grand Wizard of the Royal Society took out a thin sheet of golden paper from his sleeve. It seemed to be woven from fine golden threads and had no weight. When he released his hand, it floated in front of Wang Ya in an almost floating manner.

At first glance, it looks ordinary, with undulating golden light and a hazy appearance.

With the second glance, the hazy confusion dissipated, and clear handwriting emerged one after another. A torrent of knowledge densely filled his eyes, causing Wang Ya's pupils to widen instantly, and his expression became extremely solemn.

He frowned, trying his best to accept it. He had already activated the Eye of Truth. White arc light replicated the golden luster. A large number of wizarding characters rose and fell, changing like extremely complex runic formulas, which could be arranged in thousands of ways to form unique loops.

A minute later, Wang Ya, having reached his limit, reached out his right hand, grabbed the golden paper, folded it easily, and placed it into the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror Realm in his sleeve.

With his eyes closed, his expression remained tense, clearly not yet recovered from watching the Emperor's legacy and absorbing advanced knowledge.

The Grand Wizard of the Supreme Emperor smiled and said, "My path is related to spiritual particle energy. Energy can distort reality, change reality, shape matter, and even reach the realm of illusion. The subsequent direction of the Sun Rule is also to pursue the transformation of the Supreme Emperor particle energy."

"The illusory three-body system consists of spirit, consciousness, soul, and physical body with extraordinary properties and extraordinary particle energy. In my understanding, the Sun Rule is a kind of ultimate sublimation. It involves choosing one aspect and using the rest as nourishment to fuse and accumulate until the sublimation and transformation are completed."

Wang Ya opened his eyes, staring intently at the Venerable Emperor Wizard.

This is the research knowledge and experience regarding the rules of the Sun that the other party promised. It is extremely valuable, even more so than some ordinary Radiant Moon inheritances. It is a profound knowledge that takes countless millennia to accumulate and is not easily obtained.

Now that he has passed the assessment, the other party has kept its promise and informed him.

The white arc of light in the pupils, which had subsided, began to flicker again, reaching an unprecedented peak in frequency.

A multitude of thoughts were swirling within him, even sparking flashes of wisdom.

The Grand Wizard also noticed this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. This was not a state that just anyone could enter at any time.

The better Wang Ya performs and the stronger he becomes, the better it is for him and for the Crimson Society. The Grand Wizard's smile deepened as he welcomed this development.

"Do you know the true spirit?" asked the Grand Wizard.

Without much hesitation, Wang Ya shared his understanding: "The True Spirit is the sublimation of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice, stepping towards the level of a formal Wizard. It is the sublimation after reaching the Limitless State and the Breakthrough State. The condensation of the True Spirit is also a symbolic representation of a formal Wizard."

"True spirits possess different characteristics and abilities, which are related to the individual's path as a wizard."

"Where does this power come from, and what is the true nature of the spirit?" the Venerable Emperor Wizard asked again.

Wang Ya's eyes flickered. After thinking for a while, he gave his answer: "The true spirits condensed by different wizarding paths are different, or you could say they are the names of things that are equivalent to true spirits; the elemental wizarding path is the true spirit, the dream wizarding path is the core of dreams, the mechanical wizarding path is the heart of consciousness, and the bloodline wizarding path is the soul spirit."

"The source is the product of the fusion and sublimation of the abilities and characteristics possessed by the individual, which correspond to the path of the wizard and involves various experiments and research."

The Venerable Grand Wizard said, "You are right. The True Spirit and the rules of the Sun share commonalities, according to my research and understanding."

"Bloodline wizards, their entire lineage originates from the extraordinary bloodline within their bodies. Relying on their true selves, they steal the power of extraordinary beings, transforming it into their own power. This allows them to break through the true spirit condensed at the formal wizard level, also known as the soul spirit. It is a self-illusory three-body, leaning towards the soul aspect, completely overwhelming the fragments of soul consciousness existing within the bloodline of extraordinary beings, replacing the existence of those extraordinary beings. The more powerful the extraordinary being, the more difficult it is to successfully replace them, and they will be devoured, becoming a lifeless object that has lost its illusory three-body and remains only as a shell. Of course, there are ways to increase the strength of the illusory three-body and weaken the fragments of bloodline consciousness. Among the many paths, the early growth of bloodline wizards is relatively easier, but the drawback is that it is difficult to break through the upper limit. Once the illusory three-body replaces the corresponding bloodline individual, it can never be changed again. The wizard has become that extraordinary being, and the extraordinary being has also become the wizard; they are indistinguishable."

A light shone in Wang Ya's eyes. He also had research in this area and knew about it, but it wasn't as comprehensive as what the Grand Wizard Zunhuang had said today.

Seeing Wang Ya's satisfied expression, the Grand Wizard felt a sense of pride. No matter how outstanding or talented he was, he had still lived for tens of thousands of years longer than this kid.

The Grand Wizard continued, "Mechanical Wizards are the heart of consciousness, also illusory three-body entities, but they focus more on the consciousness, will, and physical body within these illusory three-body entities. They replace mechanical materials and extraordinary parts with physical bodies, thus cooperating with each other to achieve resonance, maintain various spell circuits, and generate powerful extraordinary properties. Inanimate objects are ultimately inanimate objects. To bring them to life, it still depends on the wizard himself. Only a sufficiently strong consciousness and will can maintain balance and allow inanimate objects to possess a vitality greater than that of the living."

Wang Ya thought of the Blood God Wizard and the Machine God Wizard. When the Machine God Wizard died, he used the Machine God Wizard's body and had the Blood God Wizard replace him. In a short period of time, he gained the combat power of a Level 2 Star Wizard. Later, he directly became a true Star Wizard. Although he was relatively weak at that level, he was indeed a Star Lifeform.

Compared to the mechanical wizard path, the growth time and speed of other wizarding paths are much slower.

"A body entirely composed of inanimate objects, the will and consciousness of the mechanical wizard reside more as a vessel, and can be replaced. Extraordinary components can be shed from the body to gain even greater power. The limitation is the mechanical wizard's will; the consciousness needs to be strong enough. Each replacement disrupts the original balance, requiring a great deal of time to maintain it."

The Grand Wizard seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of fear appeared on his face. "Powerful mechanical wizards can even integrate the bodies of inanimate objects into their consciousness, making them invisible in reality. They can even make their consciousness a kind of information data. In the face of battle, they can directly manifest data and reality, possessing various powers. They can also drift and roam the world and various wizarding universes directly with their consciousness data."

"Of course, mechanical wizards of that level are beyond our reach and imagination, just as we cannot imagine the true power of rule wizards. Everything we understand is only partial."

"The Rule Wizards are far more incredible and powerful than we imagined or even dreamed of."

Wang Ya exhaled a breath of stale air; the gains he had made were astonishing.

The Grand Wizard continued, "The path of the Dream Wizard originates from the core of dreams. You also follow the path of the Dream Wizard, so I believe you know which part of the Illusory Trinity you should focus on."

Wang Ya's lips moved slightly. "Consciousness, spirit, soul. Dream power is more of a special evolution of spiritual power into dream power. Combined with the special characteristics of the dream world, it obtains miraculous skills and terrifying power to alter reality."

"That's right. The Sun Wizard level, which corresponds to the Elemental Wizard path, is the Dream God. With a thought, the world can be turned upside down. The past and the future can be traveled to. If you are powerful enough, you can even bring back everything that has disappeared or gone by, or return to that time period."

The Venerable Grand Wizard exclaimed in admiration, "The two wizarding paths you have chosen to combine—the Elemental Wizarding path and the Dream Wizarding path—are not too conflicting. The power of dreams can also complement particle energy. Even the shaping of spiritual particle energy, when combined with the power of dreams, will be easier, more powerful, and possess even more incredible characteristics."

"In other words, as long as you become a Radiant Moon Lifeform, you can also achieve the Supreme Heavenly Domain that I created using Supreme Emperor Particle Energy, and it will be even easier and more convenient for you."

"Am I stronger than the Grand Wizard of the Emperor?" Wang Ya asked curiously, making a small joke, with a faint smile on his face.

The Grand Wizard's lips twitched slightly, but he did not answer Wang Ya's question.

"The path of the Dream Wizard originates from spiritual power, which is also the source from which wizards initially obtain extraordinary power. It is closely related to other wizarding paths and there is not much conflict between them. Given the relationship between illusion and reality, it would be best to focus on one side of the illusory three-body approach, and you have done just that."

"Next up is the real, hard-earned information you've been waiting for: the advancement of spiritual particle energy and the transformation of the Sun's rules."

Seeing the Grand Wizard's slightly smug smile, Wang Ya's lips twitched in sync with the other's.

The smile on the face of the Grand Wizard of the Emperor grew even wider.

"I humbly request Your Majesty, the Great Wizard, to offer you your guidance." Wang Ya blinked repeatedly and made a wizard's salute with his hands.

"I wouldn't call it giving pointers, but rather discussing things with each other. I'm very humble, and I have high hopes for your future. You're destined to reach my level, or even become more powerful, who knows?" The Grand Wizard winked and smiled broadly.
