Wizards pursue the truth

Wang Ya saw the light.

It becomes bright in the sea of ​​the mind.

Like stars hanging above a dark ocean.

Compared to the starlight formed by wizard runes in the past, this radiance rivaled the bright moon, illuminating a vast expanse of the spiritual sea, where one could even see the dark gray seawater churning with waves.

The new Illusory Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune is quite different from the past. A vast number of tiny runes are grouped together and flow among themselves, recombining into a new series of spell runes. The spells continue to assemble and decompose until a complete loop is formed.

The loops contain a vast amount of data, which collide, interact, merge, split, and so on!

With a black blade and a red hilt, the spirit Wang Ya, gripping the hilt of the Black Heart Red Thread Sword, exuded a dense black aura as he silently gazed at the magnificent rune that occupied the center of his spiritual sea.

It is as if it contains all the secrets and truths of the world.

If placed on some lower-level planetary worlds, it might actually become the source of all laws in some sense.

In the wizarding world, among those of the same level, Wang Ya believed that his Illusory Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune was definitely one of the most powerful wizarding techniques.

Time passed swiftly, and seven days later, the indifferent face of the spiritual entity Wang Ya let out a long breath, a joyful smile appearing on his face.

This was because the attempt to imprint the first Illusory Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune in the mind sea had finally succeeded.

Whoosh!

The enormous rune, seated at the center, began to transform, while chains composed of tiny runes shot out continuously, disappearing into the four corners of the spiritual sea, suppressing the four extremes.

Tiny, ant-like runes began to secrete from the rune chains, gradually filling the entire mental sea.

Spiders weave webs, their roots intertwined and complex.

At this moment, a similar situation occurred in Wang Ya's mental state.

Even on a small scale, there are spectacular and wondrous sights.

If one's spiritual sea could reflect the outside world, it would be an indescribable and awe-inspiring spectacle, worthy of worship and veneration.

"I'm done here; now it's up to the consciousness to decide."

The spiritual entity King Ya sat cross-legged above the spiritual sea, below the runic stars, his eyes filled with anticipation.

We eagerly await the outcome, hoping that both the physical body and the spiritual sea will bear the imprint of the illusory and real Nightmare Fire Core Rune.

Anticipation for the unknown.

After all, this was the first time he had practiced and applied the Illusory Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Meditation Method, created by him and aided by the Eye of Truth, to himself.

It concerns the future path of a wizard.

The last of the three great sorcerer bodies.

The splashing waterfall and the wine river seem to have remained unchanged since time immemorial, flowing and washing away, merging into the main stream of the wine river. No one knows where it ends, and it is not limited to the current scenery of the waterfall and the ancient pavilion.

The Dragon-Tiger Wizard continued to stroke the zither, his expression calm. Each light touch of his slender fingers produced a melodious sound, seemingly bringing joy to the river of wine itself.

Everything has a spirit, and Jiuhe, as a special resource area, also has its own spirit.

Wang Ya could sense that the spirit possessed power no weaker than his own, or even stronger. If it weren't for the permission of the Dragon Tiger Wizard, he would have been attacked by the spirit when he used the power of the Wine River and entered the river.

With permission and the orders of the Dragon Tiger Wizard.

The spirit of the River of Wine was carefully helping him adjust the amount of water erosion, which was beneficial to the tempering of his physique. It also greatly helped to nourish the lost flesh and blood and reduce the wear and tear on his bones.

Even if Wang Ya lost all his flesh and blood and was left with only a skeleton, he could recreate flesh and blood in an instant.

The Dragon-Tiger Wizard stopped playing the zither, his expression thoughtful.

Standing on the void, looking down at the river of wine below.

With her abilities and eyesight, she naturally spotted the grim, black skeleton at the bottom of the wine river at a glance.

It wasn't just bones decaying with time, but black skeletons brimming with life, displaying a jewel-like luster; it was peculiar and captivating, once the eye was drawn to it, it was impossible to look away, as if the skeleton were the most beautiful thing in the world.

It possesses a powerful, natural, and extraordinary presence.

Of course, what's more numerous are the tiny black dots wriggling on the surface of the black skeleton, emanating a wondrous aura that carries the charm of advanced knowledge, drawing in most of the spiritual energy of the entire Wine River, which is then contained within the black bones and those tiny runes.

The Dragon Tiger Wizard widened her eyes. From the moment the other party entered the Wine River until now, at the request of the Venerable Emperor Wizard, she had stayed here to watch and prevent any accidents from happening.

The bones changed from white jade to black, and tiny black runes emerged from within the bones, seemingly trying to remain on the surface and be engraved there.

She could understand the essence of the runes, but not completely; they contained many, many hidden meanings.

It seems to encompass the knowledge of both Dream Wizards and Element Wizards, but the specific aspects involved are uncertain due to the different branches of the system.

She followed the combat-based wizard system, forging a new path for wizards.

They are extremely sensitive to bodily sensations.

The powerful vitality of the black bones shows a trend of horizontal ascent.

The growth rate is very stable.

On the other hand, the strength of the black bones is increasing in tandem, and it also carries unique properties, due to the infusion of energy from certain special elemental particles.

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard narrowed his eyes. "Runeology, elemental science, dream science, soul science, flesh science—such a complex array of electives! The breadth of knowledge is so broad, and the depth is extraordinary."

At least in some respects, she had to admit that she was not as good as the younger generation in front of her.

He pondered to himself, 'What the Venerable Grand Wizard said was indeed true. The Nightmare Wizard's potential is even greater than I anticipated; reaching the Radiant Moon level is only a matter of time.'

"Investing in advance and getting involved in Rainbow Plains is a good thing. It will provide significant support and alleviate considerable pressure when facing future troubles."

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something. He raised his right hand, and his slender fingers tapped repeatedly.

The void showed obvious scratches, triggering some of Jiuhe's authority adjustments.

Whoosh!

The cascading waterfall, its white liquid crystal clear, was filled with spray, making the swirling white waves appear murky.

The river surged even more violently, causing the riverbed to undulate, and white silt spread, completely filling and burying the black bones.

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard took a deep look at the location of Wang Ya's transformation.

His face bore an expression that had remained unchanged for many years: astonishment.

After all, she was the Great Wizard of Radiant Moon, having lived through countless years, and her knowledge of the Battle Body Wizard system was incredibly profound. Her insight was equally sharp; after much observation, she discerned some of the true situation hidden beneath the surface.

"The life-making of elemental energy, though still very rudimentary. What grand ambition and confidence."

This path has been traversed by people throughout the history of the wizarding world, and perhaps by high-ranking wizards, but she was unaware of it, as it was not recorded in any historical texts or books.

"That's fine. Everyone has their own path, and no one can be certain that someone else's path is wrong."

The Dragon Tiger Wizard was very open-minded and didn't think that the Nightmare Wizard would fail or succeed; the final result would determine everything.

The future is unknown, and anything is possible.

The potential of the Nightmare Wizard is that of the most outstanding young wizard known in the long history of existence.

The pure black bones shone with a bright luster, like agate, and were translucent.

Wang Ya sensed the riverbed concealing his body and cast a grateful glance in the direction where the Dragon Tiger Wizard stood.

The waves are like wine foam, exuding fragrance and permeating the mind and consciousness.

The middle layer of the wine river water tempers and refines the body, like a bone-scraping knife.

The white silt beneath the riverbed is the source of life, possessing a great deal of extraordinary properties, replenishing the deficiencies caused by tempering and refining.

In terms of value, the white silt at the bottom of the riverbed is the essence of the Jiuhe River and has the highest value.

Wang Ya, the consciousness entity, immersed himself in the entire body, subtly perceiving and controlling the imprints of the runes.

This is extremely energy-consuming.

The runes are so tiny that their placement and imprinting positions are precise and cannot be wrong or different. Any subsequent arrangement, combination, or integration will cause problems.

The Star Wizard's mental capacity and thinking ability are comparable to supercomputers, and even some artificial intelligence.

With the aid of the Eye of Truth and the extraordinary neurons nurtured by the extraordinary horse body, Wang Ya's abilities in this area are dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than those of wizards of the same level.

Even so, difficulties were still encountered when completing the fire core rune imprint.

I remained tense and meticulous throughout, afraid of making any mistakes.

As the last rune was imprinted, the weariness emanating from the depths of his soul allowed Wang Ya, who was already relaxed, to finally feel completely at ease.

White silt buried black bones, and the black color turned into gray the moment the Nightmare Annihilation Fire Core Rune was successfully imprinted, as if it were constantly mixed with the two colors of black and white.

Buzz!

The gray light scattered, piercing through the mud and sand, and even the erosion of the wine river, causing it to stop and flow backward.

These unusual phenomena attracted the attention of some people.

Inside the small pavilion on the eastern bank of the river, the Venerable Emperor and the Dragon Tiger Great Wizard sat facing each other, with a small table and stove in front of them, along with plenty of fruits, candied fruits, snacks, and vegetables, clearly preparing tea around the stove.

The chessboard also features black and white pieces, a trait found only in other civilizations.

"The mixture of black and white will result in a chaotic gray, which is quite reasonable." The Grand Wizard stroked his beard, a faint smile on his face.

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard glanced at him and saw the unease in his heart—an excitement, a joyful thrill.

He chuckled softly, then placed a chess piece onto the board with his right hand.

"eat!"

"Hey, Dragon Tiger, that's going a bit too far! Eating this too!"

The Grand Wizard's attention shifted, and his eyes widened, revealing a hint of impatience on his face.

"Could it be that the Grand Wizard is someone who can't accept defeat?"

"Do I look like someone who can't accept defeat?" The Grand Wizard glared at him.

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard smiled faintly, "I have long yearned for the Crimson Realm Upside-Down Mountain."

Seeing the chessboard situation had deteriorated beyond repair, the Grand Wizard simply dumped the black pieces onto it, abandoned the board, walked to the riverbank, and stared intently at the source of the gray light radiating from it.

The river almost came to a standstill, then parted in two under the influence of the gray light, and a figure slowly flew out from it.

A two-meter-tall skeleton, devoid of any organs or flesh, with bones exhibiting a translucent gray hue that evolves towards either white or black, constantly changing.

Upon closer inspection, the process of evolution is like tiny runes engraved and imprinted on the bones, wriggling and trembling as if never stopping.

"Congratulations, Nightmare Wizard, you have successfully completed your transformation into the River of Wine. Have you gained anything?"

Although it was a question, the smile on the face of the Venerable Emperor Wizard clearly showed that he had already sensed something.

The Wine River is a great bounty, offering immense benefits, but to truly capitalize on these benefits and bounty requires considerable skill.

The Grand Wizard believed in Wang Ya's potential.

After all, there were still unknowns, and I was a little uneasy. But when I saw and felt the result, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Emperor Wizard and Your Majesty the Dragon Tiger Wizard."

The tall, gray skeleton, devoid of any organs or flesh, actually spoke, as if it were invisible, or as if organs existed in nothingness.

This is very strange and beyond the imagination of most people.

A vibrant life force emanates from the skeleton, seemingly connected to and attracting something.

Whoosh!

A gray skeleton suspended in mid-air, stagnant river water beneath its feet, white mud and sand flying out and filling the gaps in the bones, seemingly acting as flesh and blood in the voids.

Strange things happened.

Fresh blood did indeed gush out, wetting and staining the white mud and sand, and real flesh and corresponding organs grew from it.

dong dong!

The sound of his heart beating was incredibly powerful.

It is full of the power to transmit.

Even the two Great Wizards of the Radiant Moon were somewhat affected physically.

This surprised the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, his fair skin, intact flesh and blood, and tall and upright figure presented a sense of robustness.

Her originally white hair had now transformed into a head of flowing black hair.

His black eyes, clear and calm, were like two black pearls, reflecting the figures of the Dragon Tiger Wizard and the Supreme Emperor Wizard.

A portal opened in the void.

A golden wizard's robe flew down, and as he reached up to slip his hand into the sleeve, black boots appeared on the shore.

Wang Ya smiled, with black hair and black eyes, her temperament as gentle as a breeze, returning to simplicity.

The Grand Wizard crossed his arms and grinned, "Kid, it seems you've really made a lot of progress. I'm relieved. Shouldn't you settle your resource base now? I've taken care of everything else. The rest is up to you."

"Also, the Golden Cat Wizard, the Elephant King Wizard, and over there... it depends on when you're going."

"Let's go and locate the resource sites first."

"etc!"

Wang Ya and the Grand Wizard Zunhuang looked at the Grand Wizard Longhu who had spoken. There was a hint of interest in his eyes, and a slightly excited smile appeared on his lips.

The Grand Wizard frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "If you want to go crazy, no one will stop you. But not now. Time is too tight. At worst, I'll use my clone to fight you."

"You're not good enough," said the Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard, glancing at him and shaking his head.

Grand Wizard of the Emperor: "."

"You're too weak. Physically, fighting you is pointless. It's just running around and casting some boring fire magic." The Dragon Tiger Wizard stared at Wang Ya with burning eyes, his fighting spirit rising. He licked his lips and said, "He's the one who's strong. He's powerful and can make me use my real strength. A real fight is when every punch lands on the flesh."

"You may not know about his transformation, but I do. I witnessed the entire process. His physical strength has surpassed yours, especially his bones, which are incredibly tough."

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard shoved aside the Emperor Grand Wizard and stood in front of Wang Ya. Compared to Wang Ya, who was over two meters tall, she was a little shorter, but not by much. Their eyes met.

"How about it, tough nut to crack? Want to have a go? You can think I'm just looking for a fight, after all, it's been a really long time since I've encountered a wizard as strong and powerful as you."

"They're mostly a bunch of effeminate elemental wizards. Spirit wizards are so weak, they'd be smashed to pieces with a single punch."

Wang Ya's expression was complicated. The Dragon Tiger Grand Wizard gave off a completely different feeling than when they first met, and he began to doubt which one was the real Dragon Tiger Grand Wizard.

Or perhaps this is the true nature of the Dragon Tiger Wizard.

Battle-type wizards are all about physical strength and physique, using sheer power to overcome any magic. This personality trait doesn't seem too bad. Appearance is ultimately just appearance, the most useless and insignificant aspect.

"Dragon Tiger, don't go crazy. Time is of the essence. Nightmare Wizard needs more improvement and transformation. You should know why."

The Venerable Emperor Wizard stepped forward again, standing between the two, emanating a powerful aura that pressed down on the Dragon Tiger Wizard.

His aged face, with incredibly focused pupils, exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure as he stared at the Dragon Tiger Wizard.

"The Battle of the Stars... that's quite a troublesome matter. Well then, let me lend a hand." The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard extended his hand, his fair skin and long, powerful right hand fixed intently on Wang Ya. "What do you say?"

"Very fast, really, really fast."

A hand landed on the shoulder of the Grand Wizard of the Emperor, and he turned to meet the serious black eyes of the Nightmare Wizard.

"Then I'll lend a hand, since the Dragon Tiger Wizard is interested. However, my strength..."

The Dragon-Tiger Grand Wizard interrupted the Nightmare Wizard, "I will use the power of the Starry Sky level, without exceeding it by even a fraction, and divide it into ten levels."

"Let me assess your hardness and see what level it reaches."

Wang Ya didn't speak again, but extended her equally fair-skinned and slender right hand.

Their hands clasped together.

A cool touch.

Wang Ya's pupils suddenly widened.

P.S.: I slacked off today, even worse than yesterday, only 5k words. I'll have a burst of energy tomorrow and try to get 8k words. (End of Chapter)
