Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 589 [590] The Great Witch Delivers a Gift: The Opportunity for Inheritance - The Holy King is Born (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the hall, crystal glass is stacked on top of each other, with a natural, uncarved smoothness. Water flows gently, and lotus flowers grow on both sides of the white jade steps. Walking up to the high platform, you will reach the main venue of this banquet.

The long wooden square table, as lustrous as mutton fat jade, was covered with a white cloth. Golden candlelight illuminated each space. The crystal figures meticulously placed the plates in front of their respective guests, with each plate numbered and placed with a precision of no more than one millimeter.

The oppressive atmosphere and solemn scene resembled a king's coronation ceremony.

Few people spoke; only the sound of plates being set out and the figures sitting in their respective places carried a vague sense of the unknown. Although their clothes and faces were so clear, they could not be memorized.

The most prestigious seat was occupied by the Venerable Emperor Grand Wizard, while Wang Ya was fortunate enough to sit next to him. However, he felt slightly insecure, as all those participating in this banquet were Grand Wizards of the Radiant Moon.

However, his presence among the stars made him stand out too much.

He remained calm and sat silently in place, while the golden crystal figures brought out the plates one by one.

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor must have had a profound purpose in hosting this banquet.

When the Great Wizard of the Departing Sun ran in, the only uneasy feeling disappeared.

Attracting the attention of everyone, including him, the seemingly ordinary-looking Grand Wizard of the Departing Sun did something extraordinary. He plopped down in his seat, ignoring the indifferent gazes of others, and picked up a roast chicken from his plate to eat.

He mumbled, "Delicious! Your Majesty, your men's culinary skills have improved. They can handle such fine ingredients so perfectly. Why don't you give me a few chefs to take to my Sun Tower? They can satisfy my rumbling stomach while I explore the secrets of the Morning Star's explosion."

Her aura was ethereal, as if she were not even here. The Great Wizard Shi Jiutian, dressed in a pale white wizard's robe, frowned slightly, as if she did not quite approve of the Great Wizard Li Ri's behavior.

His thin lips moved slightly. "Li Ri, this is too presumptuous of you. This is not your territory."

"Aren't you all hungry? I only came in because I heard dinner was served," the High Wizard of the Departing Sun said matter-of-factly. "Of course you should eat here, otherwise what are you doing here!"

The Black Feathered Wizard with small black wings on his back remained silent, staring at the plate in front of him. The lid seemed to be wiped away by some invisible force, revealing the food inside, and the aroma gradually spread throughout the long wooden square table.

The elderly man, dressed in a long crimson robe, with a long beard and completely white hair, was the most senior of the many great wizards of the Crimson Society, and his name was the Great Wizard of Daylight.

He was talking to the high wizard beside him, not wearing a wizard's robe, but a purple formal dress with a floral bow tie. He looked very refined and scholarly; he had long purple hair and looked like an eighteen-year-old. As he spoke, he laughed heartily, which was very friendly.

"Great Wizard of Daylight, it seems a little trouble has arisen." The Great Wizard of Bewitching smiled, picked up a cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, and slightly narrowed his eyes, letting the tea's aroma permeate his entire body, positively influencing his consciousness and spirit.

As his pupils opened, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The Emperor spared no expense in hosting this banquet.

They even brought out such good stuff.

Just this one sip of tea is enough to be equivalent to decades of meditation and asceticism.

Even the long-dormant spiritual power was subtly stirred.

"The host hasn't even spoken yet, so let's not get involved." The Great Wizard of Daylight noticed the extraordinary nature of the food in front of him, then picked up his tea, took a sip, and his eyes lit up. He then took several more large gulps, smacked his lips, but couldn't taste anything special.

The Grand Wizard of the Supreme Emperor released a powerful aura, and everyone immediately fell silent, no longer disturbing the Supreme Emperor's realm.

After all, it's their territory.

"Alright, let's begin the banquet. Please make yourselves at home. Li Ri is right. Let's eat first, and then we can talk about other things. I've brought out all my most treasured items for this banquet."

Wang Ya's perception focused on the food in front of him, and he noticed an unusual phenomenon that only he could observe: the white arc of light from his Eye of Truth pulsed at an extremely exaggerated frequency. The results of his analysis of the food were also remarkable, causing surprise and anticipation to appear in his eyes.

Hearing the words of the Grand Wizard, he nodded in agreement, then lifted the plate in front of him without any hesitation, grabbed the food with his arm formed from particle energy, and put it into his mouth.

The first dish was a steaming hot honey-glazed roasted chicken, the ingredients of which were far more complex than they appeared.

It is made by crushing the "Nine-Turn Nine-Dragon Meatball Beast," a precious resource from the inner world that can even provide a physical boost to the Great Wizard of Radiant Moon, into a paste, mixing it with many precious resource ingredients, and then shaping it into the form of a roasted chicken.

The Nightmare Legacy contains a book of dream creature illustrations and corresponding recipes for cooking dream creatures. Wang Ya is also a true food enthusiast.

Unfortunately, the lineage of culinary wizards is extremely limited, and researching this subject is not worthwhile; he can only harbor some regrets about culinary wizards.

The second dish was equally impressive; it was a dish that enhanced one's spirit, a precious resource that could also benefit life forms at the Radiant Moon level.

Even Wang Ya couldn't discern much of the intricacies; he needed the Eye of Truth to analyze and distinguish even a fraction of them.

He had some doubts about whether the Grand Wizard had received a portion of the Culinary Wizard's legacy and then passed it on to the life race he had created.

We can ask about that later.

Even if the knowledge passed down by a Gourmet Wizard is of low level or incomplete, it still has value for collection and research.

Things are rare.

The banquet passed in silence, with each great wizard attentively savoring the food before them. The Great Wizard of the Departing Sun, in particular, ate and took food with gusto.

Even the most powerful intelligent life forms have their own desires.

Wizards are driven by desire, and reason is a rational tool to help desires be realized.

However, if the lower-level wizards and the formal wizards of the Crimson Society saw the great wizards, who were elusive and mysterious in their memories, eating and behaving in this manner, they would probably be stunned for a second or two.

[Note: Consuming extraordinary items, due to their high quality, breaks the evolutionary limitations of the Path of Legends, resulting in a slight increase in mental and physical stats.]

After putting down his knife and fork, Wang Ya received a notification from the Eye of Truth.

With a thought, the data on his personal data panel also moved slightly, a rare occurrence.

This made him feel a little better.

[Strength: Level Two Star Wizard]

Current mental strength: 185.2

Current physical condition: 194.5

[True Spirit Mark: Nightmare (Third Layer)]

[Special Talents: Primal Strength Witch Body, Nightmare Annihilation Witch Body (six pieces)]

[Nightmare Extinction Fire Core Meditation Method: Rune Illusory Reality Imprint (9/365)]

[Current active neurons: 48%]

[Current elemental life form: 25%]

[Witchcraft Artifacts: Nightmare Mirror, Eye of Evil (Curse Burning/Left Eye), Divine Kingdom Robe (Priest Defense)]

Mental strength increased by 1.2.

The physical fitness score increased by 0.5.

The improvements weren't significant, given the limitations of the legendary path.

Fortunately, at this banquet, the Venerable Emperor Wizard used exceptionally high-quality and substantial extraordinary resources to entertain many powerful and ancient beings of the same level, which allowed Wang Ya to gain something.

With ten times the amount of identical, non-repeating resources, it's not impossible to push all stats to the limit of the Star Wizard level without relying on legendary potions.

Wang Ya thought to himself that even squeezing all the resources from the inner world of the Venerable Emperor Wizard in front of him, or even the other great wizards, wouldn't be enough to satisfy this legendary glutton.

"Now that we've eaten, let's get down to business." The Grand Wizard waved his hand, and the long wooden table in front of him, and even the surrounding environment, instantly changed.

The lighting was slightly dim, and the red carpet beneath their feet set them atop a soft sofa. Teacups and drinks were laid out on the coffee table, ensuring that every great wizard could reach them within easy reach.

Wang Ya glanced around the room, which had been transformed into a salon meeting space, and listened to the voice of the Grand Wizard.

He probably guessed some of the Grand Wizard's intentions.

Everything because of him!

The turning point came in his battle with the Earth Wizard.

Whether he can achieve what he wants depends on the arrangements of the Grand Wizard.

However, given the other party's personality, Wang Ya felt that it should be a sure thing.

"Go ahead and talk, I'm listening. I'm quite full from this meal." The Great Wizard of the Departing Sun lay on the sofa, crossing his legs without a care in the world, and even using a toothpick to pick at some non-existent food residue between his teeth.

This unrestrained attitude caused the Great Wizard of Nine Heavens sitting next to him to fall silent once again, his brows furrowed with suppressed anger.

The Great Wizard of Daylight and the Great Wizard of Bewitching sat calmly, waiting for the Great Wizard of the Emperor to tell them what had happened next.

The Black Feather Wizard was deep in thought. Shouldn't Ze Yuan be the closest to the Emperor? Why hadn't he been seen at the banquet? Where had he gone? What was he doing?

The Realm of the Silver Sea.

Click!

The glass-like sea surface shattered, the cracks were incredibly large, and a large amount of black seawater surged within, like a tornado of undercurrents. The tearing pressure was enough to crush anything into pieces.

The large amount of blood mixed with seawater made the crevice even more confined and pitch black, like a deep abyss that devours people's hearts.

"Zeyuan, why aren't you sleeping peacefully? What are you doing causing trouble again?"

A voice tinged with anger echoed across the sky.

A pair of light blue eyes stared down coldly.

Deep within the crevice, the body of a colossal creature almost completely replaced the seabed of the Silver Sea Realm; every movement it made would cause cataclysmic changes.

It is also filled with indescribable meaning. Any low-level creature that comes into contact with its aura or gets close to it will either collapse on its own or become a soulless puppet with only a physical body.

Stared at by the Silver Sea Grand Wizard, Ze Yuan Grand Wizard trembled slightly and said with a hint of flattery, "Isn't it because I've been sleeping for so long that my body is a little numb and uncomfortable, and I want to turn over?"

"Who would have thought that I would actually alarm you, the Great Wizard of the Silver Sea? I hope I haven't disturbed you."

"I will exchange some of the losses and damage caused for a drop of ancient, inferior blood to smooth things over, how about that?"

"There won't be a next time." The light blue eyes glared at her, then faded and disappeared.

At the bottom of the Silver Sea, amidst the murky waters, lies a secluded water kingdom, filled with a deep blue, shimmering light. Unique marine creatures and a humanoid race with clearly man-made features live here and have developed a civilization.

Built in the very center of the country, a huge sacrificial palace stands in the square outside, with a human-shaped sculpture of the Great Wizard Zeyuan prominently displayed.

The wall reliefs of the sacrificial palace depict an unknown and terrifying beast.

"It seems I really have bothered her."

The sound of chewing came from deep within the palace, accompanied by spitting out bones and tearing meat. Grand Wizard Zeyuan held a chicken leg in his hand, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "This shouldn't be. What could be wrong with her that she's in such a hurry, something very important? It's really strange."

"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan picked up another piece of banquet food that Grand Wizard Zunhuang had sent in advance, which was his share.

They happily popped it into their mouths.

"The old man's chefs are really getting better and better. They can make such difficult food taste good, without losing much of its efficacy. They even add other ingredients, making it almost as good as the dishes made by high-level gourmet wizards that I used to eat."

"Tsk tsk, trying to get the inheritance of those old guys and give the good stuff to the Nightmare Wizard won't be that easy, especially that oldest old thing, Daylight. The older he gets, the shrewder and stingier he becomes."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan slapped his forehead. "Wait, it doesn't seem that difficult anymore."

"That Nightmare Wizard is surprisingly outstanding."

"There's no need for that old bastard, the Emperor, to try and make things happen again... Pfft, anyone who insults me again had better not let me know."

The curses and swears of the Great Wizard Zeyuan echoed throughout the entire deep-sea palace.

Glug glug!

This is an extremely terrifying and dangerous space, with a raging sea of ​​blood, the clouds are also blood-red, and thunder roars and strikes, making the sea of ​​blood despise the towering waves.

It has no life of its own, yet it possesses an astonishing vitality and energy.

The water in the sea of ​​blood was extremely hot and pulsating, constantly revealing strange faces or bizarre shapes that tried to break free from the sea of ​​blood's boundaries and constraints.

It was all in vain. No matter how high the waves surged, or how long and deformed the viscous sea of ​​blood was stretched, when the waves of the sea of ​​blood swept over, the millions of bones sealed on the seabed turned into rain and fell.

Those forms and faces will be suppressed and become part of the life force and vitality of every drop of blood and seawater.

The figure of the Silver Sea Grand Wizard stood above the Blood Sea, gazing at an astonishing being, absorbing the life force and extraordinary essence of the entire Blood Sea.

"Holy Abyssal Wizard, you are no less than the Earth Wizard and the Nightmare Wizard; you will surpass them!"

"The power of ancestral blood can be broken by the Nightmare Wizard, and you, after completing the Blood Sea Transformation, can also break it."

A confident smile appeared on the Silver Sea Wizard's face. "However, Nightmare Wizard has already defeated Earth Wizard, so you should defeat Heavenly Crystal Wizard first, and then complete your destiny duel with Nightmare Wizard."

"From the online conquest of the region, to the Hall of Royal Power, and now..."
