Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 591 [592] The Differences in Rules Finally Revealed, the Path Ahead Emerges: The War of the Underworld (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"What do you consider the self to be?"

"What is your existence in reality?"

Are you still you?

The Grand Wizard asked three questions.

Wang Ya fell into deep thought.

I am who I am.

Standing here with my feet firmly on the ground, both reality and illusion exist within me.

"What is self-existence?" Wang Ya hesitated. "Is it related to the rules of bloodline?"

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor chuckled, "If there is indeed a connection, and a very strong one at that, then the difference between the rules of the Sun and the rules of bloodlines that you want to know is also within it."

"However, I will not tell you the answer. You will have to explore and find it yourself. The part I can tell you is the effect of the ancient blood on us."

"There are special things in the world, such as a certain object, a certain living creature, or a certain special geographical environment. Anything that touches them will be forcibly changed, affecting them, or rather, distorting their own definition of existence."

The Grand Wizard pointed to the sky, and the environment of the salon disappeared, replaced by a place where snowflakes drifted and snow-capped mountains rose and fell, and the cold wind and snow permeated everything. It was very sudden, and Wang Ya did not feel any extraordinary fluctuations or changes in energy from the spatial and geographical shifts.

It is not an illusion, but a real landform.

The ancient being who reached the end of the Path of Radiant Moon possessed terrifying strength and abilities, far beyond Wang Ya's current comprehension and comparison.

"Spirits of Wind and Snow!" Wang Ya's pupils changed slightly as he saw special beings dancing gracefully in the clouds and mist of the snow-capped mountains. They were numerous, but their aura was difficult to detect.

"They are just projections. In extreme environments, they will always attract the manifestation of special beings in the wizarding world. They are not the essence, but they do have some power."

"What does Your Majesty the Supreme Wizard mean?" Wang Ya roughly knew what the other party was trying to say.

The world exists in an ecological cycle, and the rules of nature operate eternally and are always enforced. The more powerful the world, the more fixed these rules become, and they cannot be broken.

The spirit of wind and snow is part of the seasonal rules of the wizarding world, and is a product of special derivative rules.

Wang Ya once attempted to grasp the essential power of these rules and their derivatives, which led to a terrifying event.

Only through decisive action was the hidden danger and crisis contained and eliminated.

Even now, looking back, Wang Ya still feels a bit apprehensive. It's hard to imagine what the consequences would have been if such a massive catastrophe had actually occurred.

It was absolutely a power upheaval at the level of rules.

The rules of the world cannot be touched, much less changed.

Similarly, are there any commonalities between the rules of wizards and the rules of bloodlines...? Wang Ya's black eyes flickered, as if he had made a connection to something.

The special environment they mentioned is probably places like the Serpent Land, the Underground Demon Mountain, or the Island of Time in the Wizarding Continent.

The special nature of these items—the gold pocket watch, the rusted iron sword, and other unusual items—is unparalleled and related to the rules.

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor gave Wang Ya a deep look and chuckled, "It seems you've already made some judgments."

"The level of rules is too high; only those at the same level of rules can access it, otherwise, great disaster will occur."

"The Wizarding Rules and the Bloodline Rules have different focuses. The former is to strengthen oneself to a certain extent, so that one can rival the rules of the world, or even distort the rules of the world; the latter is to integrate into the rules of the world, become a part of the world, and will also give birth to its own world rules, which is equivalent to the essence of the Wind and Snow Spirit."

The Grand Wizard added, "That's not absolute. Sun Wizards can also become part of the bloodline rules, and not all extraordinary beings follow the path of ancient blood."

Wang Ya's expression was thoughtful as he spoke, "Ancient Blood is a general term that represents a path different from the rules of the Sun, but at the level of the rules."

"That's right. If you follow the path of bloodline rules, then ancient blood can have the greatest effect on you. After absorbing and devouring it, it can bring about all-round benefits and changes, moving closer to the rules that exist at the source. Perhaps one day, you can also give birth to the corresponding bloodline rules."

"If one follows the path of the Sun's Rules, the ancient blood can become the object of research. One's spiritual consciousness enters into it to experience the true meaning of the bloodline rules. The resulting gains are unknown. One might obtain scattered high-level knowledge, or create some special ancient witchcraft. It is related to the corresponding ability of the bloodline rules and can have an overwhelming effect on ordinary witchcraft. If it has some projection characteristics of the rules, then it is even more sharp and incomparably powerful."

The Grand Wizard picked his nose and raised an eyebrow at Wang Ya. "When you reach a certain level and are in a special region or environment, ancient blood can also become a traded item. The higher the concentration, the higher the value. It is an absolute hard currency. Even in other worlds and other civilizations, it is an absolutely high-value item, and there is no possibility of price gouging."

"I understand now," Wang Ya exhaled a breath of stale air.

Abnormal items are special products of the rules of the day, not of the bloodline rules, and can be passed down like living bloodlines such as extraordinary creatures.

As bloodlines are passed down from generation to generation, they will also wear down until their extraordinary qualities are completely lost, turning them into ordinary creatures without any trace of divine power.

An example is the Night Moon Elf race, whose origins lie in the Moon God Elves, possessing bloodline rules; passed down through generations, their bloodline is no longer considered ancient; relying on their own efforts to excavate their bloodline, and with the help of Star Tears, the chance of reverting to their ancestral form is extremely slim.

In Wang Ya's mind, the importance of the Ancient Blood was several levels higher; it was far more than just an auxiliary item for studying rules.

If you can get your hands on ancient blood, you must get it, and the higher the concentration, the better.

Fortunately, he had quite a few opportunities.

This is a golden opportunity; the only question is what concentration of ancient blood we can obtain.

They appear to differ in quality, and their effects are also quite different.

Many of the remaining Nightmare Dream petals require the manifestation of rule-based phenomena, which is very difficult to achieve. If he succeeds, his combat power and foundation will undergo a tremendous change.

Wang Ya was really looking forward to this meeting with the great wizard Ze Yuan.

Glug!

The cold, dark seawater bubbled as the Grand Wizard grabbed Wang Ya's shoulder, transforming into a streak of red light and entering the dark underwater kingdom.

Entering the water barrier that isolates the outside world from darkness and sewage, Wang Ya's eyes were filled with the scene inside, which was cleared by his permission: colorful lights, dazzling and vibrant, various buildings and reliefs reflecting the ecological civilization of this place, with blue as the main color, creating a mysterious water world.

Air exists, its origin unknown, yet it is filled with heavy water pressure and seawater that is everywhere.

Human-like creatures come and go, busy completing their tasks.

No living being could detect their presence.

Even walking through the streets made of coral, one can observe the distribution of buildings throughout the Water Kingdom.

The enormous sacrificial palace was located in the heart of the kingdom. Before even reaching the entrance, a nonchalant figure in black robes emerged from the void, arms outstretched, a smile on his ordinary face, seemingly a greeting to an old friend.

The Grand Wizard raised his right hand, and high-intensity particle energy began to compress, transforming into an indelible crimson light.

The Great Wizard Ze Yuan, who had crouched down, touched his still-growing hair with a look of shock on his face, and his expression turned angry. "You old bastard!"

The Grand Wizard interrupted the other party, "Where is what I asked for? It's been so many days, you should have prepared it by now."

"Don't try to fool me. The inheritance must include lethality. The ancient blood must be about fifty percent pure blood."

"Why don't you just rob it? You need about 50% pure blood. I'm only at about 60% progress in nurturing the highest level of ancient blood." Grand Wizard Zeyuan cursed as he pulled a crumpled book from his sleeve, with some table leg marks on the cover.

"I really owe you something. You tricked me and I have to suffer a huge loss. About 50% of my pure blood is gone. How long will it take me to recover all that loss?"

"Even the guy from Silver Sea only wanted 20% purity of my ancient blood."

The Grand Wizard of the Supreme Emperor opened his right palm, revealing a special glass bottle emanating golden light—an energy material product shaped by the Grand Wizard of the Supreme Emperor's energy field. With the bottle open, a subtle attraction drew in the gray-black blood that had been drawn from a small cut in the palm of the right hand by the Grand Wizard of Ze Yuan, who had used his left hand to create a knife.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously took a step or two back, his gaze fixed on the blood that existed in the void and was being drawn into the bottle.

Its unique, deadly aura and extraordinary fluctuations allowed him to feel a deathly, withering quality, even when suppressed by the Grand Wizard of the Emperor.

very scary!

Absolutely amazing.

In terms of level, it far surpasses his current true spiritual origin and foundation.

Every cell in the body instinctively yearns to obtain that portion of fresh blood, believing that consuming it would bring immense benefits, leading to a higher level and a more perfect leap and transformation of life.

The wizard remained rational and calm.

Wang Ya lowered her gaze and pursed her lips slightly.

The Grand Wizard sealed the bottle, and the remaining energy disappeared. However, images still lingered in the depths of Wang Ya's mind: the flow of the gray-black blood, the composition of each drop, all seemed like an addictive curse, creating an unforgettable, soul-stirring longing.

The concept of the purity of ancient blood is quite complex.

It seems that the higher the purity, the higher the value, and the more rule-based properties it contains.

However, some results were obtained from the research on the bloodline of the Night Moon Elves.

The corresponding basic units of bloodline, the composition of extraordinary bloodline factors, and the completed bloodline rules, perhaps only a very small part of which can differentiate into a higher degree of ancient blood.

No, it should be said that the higher the purity, the more difficult it is to improve and perfect, and the more energy and engineering work is required.

The related experiments that were put on hold, Wang Ya's plan to replicate the bloodline of the Moon Goddess, all involved searching for the bloodlines of the various elven races that diverged from the source of the bloodline, relying on a large number of samples to refine the branch bloodlines, and then extract the essence until the ancient bloodline was completely or incompletely reconstructed.

In short, try to get as close as possible to the legendary bloodline of the moon goddess.

Even so, the possibility of it being completed is still extremely slim.

No one knows what the rules and bloodlines are.

The two groups split up to search for the Night Moon Elf's treasure, but encountered unknown changes, accidents, and the Elf never returning, as well as the need to deliver a message.

The higher the purity of ancient blood, the closer it may be to the bloodline of the rules.

Wang Ya looked at the crumpled book handed to him by the Grand Wizard.

[The Complete Records of Zeyuan]

A very ordinary name, a very ordinary cover, like a travelogue casually written by a wandering poet in the mortal world.

It is hoped that the legacy of the Great Wizard Zeyuan contains relevant information about bloodline rules.

Some stalled experiments may be able to be restarted.

Wang Ya solemnly placed it into his sleeve.

The outstretched beak of the Harak bird seemed curious about its surroundings, but Wang Ya quickly pushed it back in.

"Silver Sea wants your ancient blood." The Grand Wizard glanced over and casually tossed the glass bottle in his hand to Wang Ya, whose heart skipped a beat, and he caught it.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan waved his hand, "Paying rent, huh? There's nothing I can do. Who knows what she'll do with it?"

The Grand Wizard's eyes flickered, and he said nothing more. His Grand Wizard's energy field enveloped Wang Ya's body, and he disappeared into the Dark Water Kingdom.

The Grand Wizard clicked his tongue, "What a shame. I was hoping to treat you to a tentacle fish feast."

"Running so fast, I wonder if they're rushing to the underworld to harvest blood seeds, or robbing the witches of resources from the inner world. Honestly."

—The Other World.

Rainbow Plains.

Two figures appeared. One was dressed in a deep red wizard's robe, with an old face, but his eyes were not cloudy, but burned brightly like an eternal sun.

The other person, dressed in a golden wizard's robe, had a calm expression and eyes as deep and unfathomable as a still pool. His hands hung naturally at his sides, holding a special mirror.

It was none other than the Venerable Emperor, the Great Wizard, and Wang Ya.

The latter is not the original entity.

Wang Ya's role in resolving the witch robbery incident in the Otherworld is limited; he's mostly just observing.

Wang Ya is not yet in a position to acquire mature and valuable resource-rich areas.

The Venerable Grand Wizard said, "You will have to experience what is about to happen sooner or later. You will have to deal with the future yourself, but I can still protect you in the present."

There was a chilling aura in the air. Even though it was in the middle of the Rainbow Plain, where the colors were complex and murky and indistinct, and across an unknown distance and countless inland seas and ecological zones, Wang Ya could still feel it clearly. It was as if the Rainbow Plain itself had come alive and was about to face an external enemy.

"Let's go. This time, you'll be watching." The Grand Wizard grabbed Wang Ya's shoulder again. His consciousness, which surpassed the computational power of artificial intelligence, determined the exact spatial variables and began to unleash his limit abilities.

"The number of Jiewu is small, and they are just some clones, which can be easily wiped out."

"Having learned how difficult the Rainbow Plains are to conquer, this group of bandits will continue to roam and choose other targets."

As it gradually twisted and transformed into thin energy strands that leaped across endless spatial distances, the Grand Wizard of the Emperor chuckled, "Killing these Calamity Witch clones might yield some unexpected gains. You should really need that thing."

In reality, at the Crimson Society, Wang Ya once again arrived at the library to study the complete "Zeyuan Secret Records," which contained information about the various pillars and the daily data collection for completing the Eye of Truth, thus filling the database.
