Wizards pursue the truth

Tick ​​tock!

Rainwater slid down the smooth surface of the crystal jade wall, revealing a tall figure emerging from it, completely naked, with fair skin and damp hair clinging to it.

The weather is cold, and the four seasons are in winter.

The exhaled breath, white mist, blended into the cold wind.

The Celestial Wizard walked out of the Crystal Mountains step by step, and the concave part of his chest lit up with a purple light, which continued to expand, from a thousand meters to ten thousand meters, until it encompassed the sky above this vast mountain range.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and the crystal veins that had penetrated the earth seemed to come alive. The ground, which had been shaken and cracked, scattered beams of light of different colors, which eventually converged in the sky above, forming a purple light layer that covered the sky with dark clouds.

It seemed to be weaving something, using a purple light layer as a canvas and other rays of light as threads.

Gradually, lifelike beasts emerged, roaring to the sky and exuding an ancient and powerful aura. Their various colors, distinct from the purple light, transformed into blooming petals. The dreamlike atmosphere spread, becoming very rich and connecting with the dream world.

The petal phenomenon changed again, and the figures reflected in the dream world were actually living extraordinary creatures, crawling and sleeping in huge petal-shaped hollows made of purple crystal; the breath exhaled by each extraordinary creature was enough to crush hundreds or thousands of ultimate wizard apprentices.

The dream petal phenomenon belonging to the Heavenly Crystal Wizard has four petals in total, and the fifth petal is gradually taking shape; it is a fierce tiger-like beast that is not yet fully asleep and is crouching down.

It once fought and battled against the Black King Kong Iron Bird, and although it won, it did not have a good outcome. It became a plaything in the hands of the World Garden's master, and was manipulated. In the end, it became a part of someone else's power.

It was naturally unwilling and full of resentment. The ancient blood within it had been stimulated to resist the corruption and suppression of the Heavenly Crystal Wizard, so much so that it had not yet been completely transformed.

This surprised and delighted Karina, but it required more energy and time, and she often needed to take large amounts of precious resources and medicines to replenish her severely depleted mental energy.

Such a huge price proves that the beast's power is extremely immense, and converting it into her own power would greatly enhance her foundation.

Roar!

Seemingly sensing Karina's watchful gaze, within the dream world and amidst the crystal petals, a tiger-like superhuman creature with ancient blood struggled frantically, attempting to tear and crush the purple crystal blocks that kept climbing up before it.

Its movements are extremely wide-ranging and its power is terrifying. Even after such a long time, the terrifying potential bestowed by the ancient blood has allowed it to maintain a certain state.

Boom!

Every shake and impact caused the earth to tremble, as if the petals formed by the crystal, which served as both a container and a place of restraint and suppression, were about to collapse.

Karina's face grew paler with each impact.

There was determination in his eyes.

She will not give up.

She was also confident that she could tame this restless beast.

Even if it takes a long time.

There's no reason she should be worse than an animal.

What does ancient blood matter?

With the support of her teacher, Ash, and the Scarlet Society providing resources and knowledge behind her, there was no reason why she couldn't suppress a beast that had already been restrained.

This is a tough battle.

Whoosh!

The mountain stream flows downhill and merges into the river that winds through this primeval forest. The river water is turbulent, but its color is an eerie green, which also taints the mud and soil on the banks.

The source of the river is unknown. After leaving the primeval forest, the river becomes increasingly rapid. The view on both sides is wide open, but it is an incredible aerial island. To be precise, it is folded at a ninety-degree angle, like a staircase. Like a waterfall, it flows straight down and connects the aerial islands above and below.

One after another, the floating islands have created this indescribable landscape.

Looking up, the clouds swirl around, and the islands in the sky seem to disappear behind the clouds, even into the heavens, at an immeasurable height.

Wang Ya was amazed by the vastness of the world and the wonders it holds; such a sight was truly breathtaking.

"The Green Realm is controlled by my old friend, the Dragon-Tiger Wizard. Its unique terrain and environment have corresponding names: 'Xu Se Tian,' 'Kai Tian Tian,' and 'Bai Ge Tian.' Collectively, they are called the Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Heavenly Palaces. After ascending, you will reach the Dragon-Tiger Wizard Temple."

The green river flowed gurgling incessantly, and two figures stood on the bank: a red-robed wizard was explaining the mysteries of this place to a young wizard in a gold robe.

The Divine Kingdom Robe is a magical artifact worn by the main body. However, Wang Ya, as a separate entity, wears a simulated golden Divine Kingdom Robe that is as close to the main body as possible.

"Your Majesty, what kind of wizarding system does this Dragon-Tiger Wizard follow, and what are his methods?" Wang Ya asked curiously. To be able to create such a stunning landscape, this Dragon-Tiger Wizard must be extraordinary.

He had already discerned some of the true nature of the matter.

Each floating island utilizes boundary mechanisms to connect spaces, preventing it from falling to the ground due to gravity.

A strong, extraordinary aura emanated from the nine eyes, which were omnipresent.

Within the Crimson Realm, there are numerous similarities between the Grand Wizard's resource areas and the other two.

Wang Ya vaguely grasped something.

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor looked somewhat complicated. "She is a very special wizard. The path she takes is that of a pure combat wizard."

"Battle Wizard!" Wang Ya was somewhat surprised. It was an extremely ancient name, along with the corresponding wizard profession.

It stirred up several memories for him.

When he was still a wizard apprentice, he received his first opportunity on a ship: the inheritance of the Battle Body Wizard.

The source is related to the Black Sun Wizard.

This can be learned from the Underdark and the subsequent inheritance of the wizarding forces.

The Battle Body Wizard is a long-obsolete option.

He also sold his inheritance to acquire his first pot of gold.

The Grand Wizard seemed to know what Wang Ya was thinking and said with emotion, "She is different. Based on the current lack of battle body wizards, she has forged a new path, a unique path of battle body wizards that belongs to her."

"The specifics cannot be explained in a few words. Everything will become clear once we meet the Dragon Tiger Wizard."

After leaving a seed of spiritual power in the Red Palace and gaining access, I selected an area adjacent to the Green Realm as a resource site.

As a neighbor, Wang Ya should pay a visit.

Hearing the description from the Grand Wizard, they also became curious.

The name "Dragon Tiger Wizard" is somewhat out of step with the naming style of wizarding civilizations. It's more similar to the naming styles of civilizations like the Immortal Realm Legends and the Primordial Legends, and those from the East.

The 999 Heavenly Palaces are each a floating island continent, varying in size, with independent ecological environments, changing seasons, and inhabited by life groups and species, each with its own characteristics.

The only thing they had in common was that the higher they went, the more greenery permeated the area—the earth, the water, the sky, the mountains, and so on. Wang Ya and the Grand Wizard were both enveloped in golden light, like a beam of light, with particles of light drifting across one celestial palace after another.

The pressure in the airspace is extremely high, not atmospheric pressure, but a unique kind of air pressure existing between spaces. Beyond the Fifty Heavenly Gates, the air pressure there is enough to make even a formal wizard feel uncomfortable, requiring them to use other means to resist it.

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor seemed to possess certain authority over the Green Realm, and his journey was unimpeded. When he reached the highest level, the Nine Hundred and Ninety Heavenly Palaces, what came into Wang Ya's view was a huge portal, seemingly embedded in the void, leading to the legendary Heavenly Court.

"Old friend, it's time to come out and meet. It's not good to keep hiding."

The Grand Wizard shouted at the gate.

The gate is inscribed with ancient scripts, or rather, several different scripts.

Some of the characters belong to the wizarding civilization, while others are related to the legendary civilization of the Immortal Realm, as well as other civilizations that Wang Ya has never encountered before.

It exudes extraordinary energy, confirming that it is a kind of extraordinary script possessing power.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes.

This represents a lot.

The Grand Wizard's words went unanswered.

Chi Chi!

The portal was blasted open by an internal force, revealing a hazy green light and spreading white mist, leading to a stepped path that led to an unknown territory.

"Let's go, kid. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Watch my expression later."

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor winked at Wang Ya.

The latter also realized the other party's plan.

His lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

That's what they actually thought.

Shamelessness is indeed legendary in the Scarlet Gathering.

For some reason, Wang Ya felt a little apologetic towards the Dragon Tiger Wizard he had never met before.

But only a little.

After all, he can also gain considerable benefits, which is very helpful for the deployment of resource areas.

Even on the first creation, it can obtain resource sites far exceeding those of ordinary Moonlit Lifeforms.

Resource-rich areas equate to objective benefits and an increase in strength.

……

Scarlet Society.

The wicked wizard fell into a deep sleep, enveloped in black sand that formed a black coffin. A continuous stream of special energy gathered from this world into the coffin.

Hair falls naturally, and a faint glow appears on the body and skin. At a microscopic level, every cell and flesh is undergoing transformation and sublimation, becoming stronger and more powerful than before.

Changes in the physical body can drive the production of particle energy, including significant improvements in intensity and quality.

Spiritual power is the source of a wizard's power.

By drawing in the energy of particles present in the natural environment and bringing it into the body, under safe and controlled influence, the originally ordinary physical body is transformed into something extraordinary.

This means generating one's own particle energy, which is different from the natural particle energy in the outside world. It is particle energy that is truly born from within one's own body. By guiding external particle energy into the body with mental power, the body has been changed over time and imperceptibly.

This is external radiation affecting one's body, but it's developing in a positive direction.

Of course, this is just the most basic, most common, and safest method. The only thing to be careful about is the degree to which external particle energy stimulation affects the physical body and maintain a balance. That is benign stimulation radiation. If the balance is disrupted, terrible consequences will occur.

Damage to one's own body, deterioration, disease, loss of vitality, and malignant stimulation from radiation are nightmares that no wizard wants to encounter.

There are other methods to stimulate the physical body, such as stimulating it with one's own mental energy, taking special extraordinary drugs, or entering a special geographical environment.

All stimuli must be kept in balance.

Testing a wizard's aptitude and elemental affinity is a way to maintain balance beforehand. By specifically selecting an elemental particle energy to stimulate and radiate its influence, the process of physical strengthening and the birth and growth of one's extraordinary nature will be accelerated.

Spiritual power originates from the spiritual sea; the larger and more it is opened up, the greater the spiritual power that comes from the feedback.

The evil wizard's spiritual power is almost equivalent to that of the real ocean.

Even when it falls into a deep sleep, a portion of its spirit and will, carrying powerful spiritual energy, still exists outside the sealed room, and it oversees the entire Black Heart World.

In addition, she is constantly observing the outside world and sending information back through her separate body.

Once the original body awakens, all memory information will be exchanged, and the original body will decide on the next action.

Upon learning that the Earth Wizard was still measuring and walking in the void after such a long time had passed, the Blackheart Split's pretty face darkened.

The Black Sand Life, guarding the Black Heart Palace, keenly sensed its master's bad mood and dared not touch it in the slightest. It tried to calm itself down, facing forward with its back straight, but was still shattered by the Black Heart's split body, which swung its hand and ground away a third of it.

"That Earth Wizard is a real freak. How long is he going to keep dragging this out? Is the location of the Pillar of Emperor also putting him under such pressure, requiring him to constantly accumulate momentum and strengthen his confidence?"

"Where did that lawless attitude, those little taboos of the Crimson Society, go?"

The Blackheart Split was somewhat gritted-teeth. Adhering to the personality and thoughts of the original body, she looked forward to watching the Earth Wizard and the Nightmare Wizard fight to determine a winner.

Ideally, both sides would suffer heavy losses, or at least reach a draw, so that we can see things more clearly.

I believe she wasn't the only one looking forward to it; others were too.

There are far too many people paying attention to this battle.

"What a long distance! By the time the Earth Wizard reaches the Pillar of the Emperor, the transformation of his true form will probably be over."

"But this is good too. After the transformation, the original body may touch the spiritual stage, and the physique will also have spiritual wisdom."

The Black Heart Split believes in the power of the original body, and spirituality is a symbol of that power. Being able to touch spirituality at this stage is unprecedented. Even in the history of the Crimson Society, the original body can be considered outstanding.

The Nightmare Wizard who was concerned was more worried about the Grand Wizard behind him.

"So be it, it's just a matter of waiting. We've waited for so many years already. The transformed body will be no weaker than anyone else."

"We'll just have to watch a battle between the Earth Wizard and the Nightmare Wizard to get a feel for their strengths and how much they've improved over the years; and those guys... they're not simple characters, they're all formidable opponents."

Faces and figures flashed through the mind of the ruthless split-off, all familiar and targets that were also important to him, strong competitors in the Star Battle Tournament.

Evil wizard, disaster wizard, demon soul wizard, and that terrible guy.

The faces in the mind of the Black Heart Split converged on the body of the Heavenly Crystal Wizard Karina.

Yes!

She is the biggest and most terrifying enemy.

Backed by the great wizard Ashe, and receiving full support and nurturing of his knowledge, he is the purest, most impeccable, and most undisputed genius and powerful wizard in the Crimson Society.

The Nightmare Wizard is only a small part of the challenge.

"There's no reason to be so concerned about this small part. We'll get through it eventually, it just takes a little more effort."

The Black Heart clone took a deep look at the sealed room where the main body was. If the power of the spirit were truly mastered in advance, even if not completely, even if only a part of it, it would bring about earth-shattering changes to the strength of the main body.

I've been visiting relatives these past few days, so updates have been slow. Starting tomorrow, I'll be consistently posting 6,000+ words, with occasional bursts of 8,000 to 10,000. I'll see if I can manage another chapter later; hopefully, I won't get sleepy too soon.
