Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 592 [593] The Pillars of Hell Nightmare Reclaims the Ancient Pureblood Hell Guild (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Dozens of red runic chains are wrapped around this enormous library building, perhaps more accurately represented by a vast space world that overlaps and merges together.

A faint red glow emanated from the circular corridor staircase, shining like stars, corresponding to one bookshelf after another, indicating that Scarlet Society wizards were watching.

High above the unreachable sky, the crimson eye on the ceiling overlooks everything below, also watching over the small spaces formed by the bookshelves to see if any violations have occurred.

This was not Wang Ya's first time here. Apart from the period of transformation in the inner world, the transformation of the Nightmare Flower - the Black Sun Frost Realm and other phenomena had not hindered his progress. The database of the Eye of Truth was growing day by day.

[Target: The Eye of Truth]

[1. Virtual Laboratory: Second-order; Details: Capable of simulating second-order extraordinary resources at the star level, based on known data from the algorithm database, with no discrepancy from reality.]

[2. Truth Analysis: Six levels of computing power have been unlocked]

[3. Algorithm Database: Updated (61%); Details: The algorithm database is undergoing a transformation. Upon completion, it will unconditionally accept and analyze the extraordinary knowledge of the apprentice stage, elevating it to the formal wizard level; it will also include higher-level knowledge content, and the speed will be enhanced to a certain extent.]

[4. Simulated Battlefield: Tier 2: Detailed: Based on the algorithm database, a simulated battlefield can be visualized, including scanned targets, which will be 100% replicated on the battlefield. The corresponding tier's innate magical artifacts and auxiliary methods will be perfectly simulated.]

[5. Future Vision: Ten seconds; Details: The accuracy of the predicted outcome, measured and confirmed by the difference in strength between the two sides.]

Wang Ya walked up the circular staircase, the fresh breeze of the circulating air ruffling his hair. It contained some extraordinary informational substances that refreshed his mind and were harmless.

The changes in the algorithm database made him increasingly happy.

The knowledge within the Crimson Society's library is vast. Once it is fully collected, the algorithm database may not only reach the first level, but could even reach a higher level.

The Eye of Truth has always been his biggest trump card and core secret.

It even goes beyond the importance of time travel and the secrets of the soul.

Perhaps due to the slow improvement in strength, the progress of the Eye of Truth is no longer like that of an apprentice, with obvious signs of transformation.

The color that appears is also a constant, vibrant white arc.

Now, with the transformation of the database, the light of the Eye of Truth has gradually taken on a crimson hue.

This is a good thing.

I believe that soon the crimson of the Eye of Truth will replace its original pure white.

Its utility may be enhanced, and it may even gain new special abilities.

"Nightmare Wizard, you have the privileges to view relevant pillar information, but please note the following."

The voice of the spirit of the library echoed in my mind.

[Note: Data received successfully; collection and analysis completed.]

Between his black eyes, a white arc of light flashed like a leaping dance.

Wang Ya made a decision.

The structure within the Crimson Society is quite simple: the Pillar Master holds the highest position and wields immense power.

Without violating the overall interests, the only things to be careful about are the existence of the three supreme masters and the other reclusive Radiant Moon Grand Wizards.

The Pillar of the Emperor is ultimately the territory of the Grand Wizard of the Emperor.

Temporarily placing them there does not mean they will always be under their protection.

The desire for conquest is currently developing in a relatively peaceful manner.

Wang Ya's participation in the Star Battle Tournament means he is destined to leave the original wizard homeworld and step into a higher realm.

Leaving them a way out, and a path forward, is like giving Wang Ya a backup plan. Doing this can be considered settling past grievances and karmic debts.

If a successor possesses sufficient talent and aptitude, they too can follow this path to emulate him.

The Nightmare Bubble Network will continue to exist, grow, and expand, with members of the Nightmare Calamity being a major asset.

Even if he leaves the Wizarding World's home planet, he will not sever ties with this lineage.

Becoming the master of a pillar has many benefits, including special resources, interests, and a place of inheritance. Wang Ya excluded some pillar masters who already had owners, leaving about half of them. A large number of wizards cultivated among them, vying for the position of pillar master.

Only by passing the tests and trials can one gain the approval of the solidified inherited spirit and become the master of the pillar.

This is very difficult. Different pillars have different requirements, and some even require special branches of wizardry. Elemental wizards, dream wizards, mechanical wizards, blood wizards, and spirit wizards used to be common but are now rare. Even extinct warrior wizards, spirit-controlling wizards, and priest wizards all have corresponding requirements for becoming the master of a pillar.

The Crimson Society is too ancient, its accumulated history spanning countless years, far exceeding the foundation of the Pale Hand.

With the assistance of the Eye of Truth, Wang Ya possesses an extremely broad range of knowledge and a vast system of inheritance. Even now, he can only carefully consider and select the most suitable position for himself as the master of the pillar.

Pillars of Hell

The crimson smoke and dripping viscous blood, illuminated by the sunlight, seemed to conjure up a distorted scene of endless wails of living beings, and also carried the scent of sulfurous magma.

Amidst the torrential rain of blood, enormous skeletal remains, their heads gaping wide, their inverted fangs resembling pillars of heaven, surged forth from the entrances, accompanied by wisps of crimson aura. Figures of wizards entered and exited, the crimson aura emanating from them suggesting a certain level of authority.

The biological skeleton has a metallic texture, made up of various rare and extraordinary metals inlaid and reassembled, with amazing extraordinary fluctuations and spatial folding within.

The red rune chains connect to the very center, continuously transmitting high-quality celestial radiation energy to keep the Pillars of Hell running.

A figure in a golden wizard's robe emerged from the void, wearing a red mask with a lotus pattern and black eyes that reflected the entire pillar-like structure.

His eyesight was incredibly sharp. The biological skeleton existed for an estimated period of time, and even so, it still retained a residual aura, extraordinary fluctuations, and the unique natural environment of the sulfurous magma.

Ordinary, formal wizards, caught off guard, would risk perishing if exposed to the aura of this sulfurous magma.

The closer one gets to biological remains, the greater the danger of such contamination; even high-level wizards at the Starry Sky level might not be able to avoid it.

The crimson aura surrounding it granted a certain level of authority, presumably to ward off the lingering effects of the sulfurous magma.

"An ancient, extraordinary creature, whose strength in life was extraordinary, perhaps even reaching the level of bloodline rules. The Crimson Society's foundation is truly astonishing."

Wang Ya pondered the secrets of the rules that the Grand Wizard had previously revealed, and came to some conclusions, initially able to judge the different directions of those rules.

The differences between the rules of the Sun and the rules of bloodline are obvious and can be discerned.

For example, a gold pocket watch and a rusted iron sword are two unusual items that fall under the scope of the rules of the day.

The previous War Wizard must have paid a huge price to solidify and create the many rules, runes, and spells of the Fortress of Conquest.

Understanding even a part of it often helps solve more problems.

"The Pillars of Hell, among the remaining pillars, are renowned pillars that have never had a master, except for the first master, the hell wizard who built the pillars themselves."

Wang Ya pondered, his mind racing. "The Pillars of Hell are relatively rough and primitive. Compared to other pillars, they have less human influence and allow us to see more of the wild style of that era. Similarly, they must have preserved the most unique features."

The place of the Pillar of Hell, the location where the red rune chains connect, has never been entered by any other wizard. The rune chains themselves are only used to maintain the operation of the entire Crimson Society's magic array and ensure the stability of the place of inheritance, preventing any accidents from happening over time.

That's what he valued.

Few people are involved, and few people interfere or have any influence.

It's quite possible that some ancient blood or remnants of this terrifying, dead being still remain in the land of inheritance.

The sulfur-infused blood rain was a subtle, gradual influence that has remained unchanged over the long years.

The fact that the foreign wizard still needs the protection granted by the Crimson Witch Array to avoid the contamination indirectly indicates that the source of this special power still exists and remains strong.

Regardless, the possibility of the existence of ancient blood and some valuable items is extremely high.

Wang Yafei flew toward the entrance of the enormous beast skeleton. A fierce wind, carrying wisps of blood-red light, blew out from within, causing his black hair to fly and his facial skin to wrinkle.

"This wizard looks a bit unfamiliar. He must be visiting the Pillars of Hell for the first time and is not yet used to the harsh environment of the Sulfur Hell."

A figure dressed in a black wizard's robe approached. He was around fifty years old and had a long mustache. As he spoke, he pinched his mustache with his fingers.

With a kind smile on his face, he said, "I may not know all the rules and regulations of the Pillars of Hell, but I am familiar with about 80% of them. As for the methods to intercept the erosion of sulfur power, and the five most dangerous places and seven most opportune places within the Pillars of Hell, you can get all of the above information by spending 1,000 Crimson Contribution Points."

"Within a year, you can break even, recover your losses, and earn even more contribution points in the Pillars of Hell."

Watching the other person take out a thin parchment scroll from their sleeve.

At this moment, a voice filled with suppressed anger interrupted, "Guinea pig, you're up to your old tricks again. Didn't I tell you, if you do it again, you'll be banished from the Pillars of Hell by the Hell Society?"

"It seems you really don't want to stay inside the Pillars of Hell."

Several figures in blood-red wizard robes flew over, all bearing the same red scorpion emblem.

The leader was a young wizard with spiky hair and an angry expression. His aura had reached the level of a Star Wizard. Several formal wizards behind him intercepted the 'guinea pig' that was trying to leave.

Wang Ya seemed to be deep in thought, seemingly referring to a small wizarding force attached to the Pillars of Hell.

It seems that they have gained a certain degree of control.

To restrain other wizards and make them abide by the rules of the Hell Society.

Whether this will hinder his control of the Pillars of Hell remains to be seen.

"Sachi, your Hell Society is too arrogant and meddling too much. I was just selling information that is valuable and helpful to the new wizard. I didn't deceive him or force him."

The guinea pig wizard's face turned ugly, his aura gradually increased, and particle energy flowed around his body. "Don't push your luck. This Pillar of Hell is not ruled by someone from your Hell Society. What right do you have to interfere in my affairs? Sentence me."

"I can come and go as I please. We're all wizards from the Crimson Society. If necessary, I can go to the three great masters and have them settle the score."

The leader, the wizard Sachi, sneered, "You should know how many times you've done this. Any information you call valuable could be obtained by spending a few months at the Pillars of Hell."

"Furthermore, the Hell Society is the one that controls the Pillars of Hell and maintains the rules and order. This is something that most people agree on. The president of the Hell Society, Lord Makarov, has conquered the three dangerous places and obtained sixty percent of the authority over the Pillars of Hell. Whether in public or private matters, and whether in terms of reason or emotion, our Hell Society has the right to manage you and pronounce your judgment."

The wizard Sachi clasped his hands together and pulled them apart, and a dim yellow hook appeared out of thin air. "You have no more chances, guinea pig. Come with us to the Hell Society's judgment seat and face public trial."

"No, I am not wrong. Your Hell Society is not the master of the Pillars of Hell. You have no right to interfere in my affairs. I will absolutely not accept this."

The guinea pig wizard rolled forward, revealing its true form in the air—a unique, extraordinary rat-like creature with thick, spiky hairs and eerie yellow gas emanating from its pores.

The extraordinary fluctuations have reached a certain limit, reaching the second tier, corresponding to the level of a wizard at the Starry Sky level.

The stench spread, turning into a yellow cloud that obscured an area of ​​ten thousand meters, further concealing the main body of the extraordinary creature.

The extraordinary fluctuations have subsided, and the Guinea Pig Wizard is about to escape the Hell Society's pursuit.

The wizard Sachi sneered, "Do you think you can escape, within the range of the Pillars of Hell, especially in front of us who control the Chains of Hell?"

"Stay here, Guinea Pig Wizard, what awaits you is a public trial by the Hell Society."

A yellowish-brown grappling hook flew out, and not just one. Other formal wizards also wielded their grappling hooks. Under the guidance of the wizard Sachi, they seemed to possess a spirit, locking onto the guinea pig wizard's aura, piercing through the void layer, and stabbing into the vital parts of the enormous creature's body. Faint screams could be heard from within.

Wang Ya's eyes flickered; with his power and level, he naturally saw everything.

The guinea pig wizard was pierced in the collarbone by a dim yellow hook. In that instant, all the power in his body was sealed. At the same time, strange yellow flames burned from the chain into his body, thus suppressing the burst of particle energy and mental power. What remained was for the guinea pig wizard to endure extreme pain.

He pondered to himself that no matter what, the Guinea Pig Wizard was still a Star-level bloodline wizard. Even if his bloodline was somewhat weak and his foundation was among the weakest of the Star-level wizards, he was essentially on the same level as him.

The Sachi wizard wasn't that powerful either; at most, he was a level stronger than the Guinea Pig wizard, so it was impossible for him to be suppressed and sealed so easily.

Those dim yellow chains are no ordinary thing!

It hides a significant secret.

From the extraordinary fluctuations and the perception of energy, it was faintly connected to the essential power of the entire Pillar of Hell.

The source radiation effects caused by the sulfur-blooded rain environment are of equal power origin.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. The five perilous places represent the tests to become the Lord of Hell. Passing through one of the perilous places would grant him the corresponding authority, the blessing of the Pillar of Hell, and some special abilities, which was not surprising.

According to the sorcerer Sachi, Makarov, the leader of the Hell Society, passed through three dangerous places.

"Because of your strength and status, Lord Makarov has decided to personally conduct a public trial for you, and at the same time notify all the wizards within the Pillars of Hell. You should feel both honored and ashamed for delaying Lord Makarov's precious time in researching the path of wizardry and conquering dangerous places."

The guinea pig wizard regained his normal human height and build. Hell chains bound his collarbone and limbs, and the sharp barbs on the chains cut into his flesh, causing blood to flow freely. The dim yellow flames brought even more pain.

On the other end, he was held by the wizard Sachi, who looked at Wang Ya standing to the side. "New wizards who want to operate inside the Pillar of Hell need to obtain the Mark of Hell to avoid the corruption of the power of Hell. Our Hell will be responsible for providing the Mark of Hell to wizards who want to develop inside the Pillar of Hell."

"Come with me to the Hell Guild. The branding isn't free, but it's not expensive either, only two hundred Crimson Contribution Points."

"And this is also a chance to attend the public trial." Wizard Sachi smiled and tugged at the chain in his hand.

The guinea pig wizard cried out in pain as his flesh was torn apart.

"They're all wizards from within the academy; is this how you comply with the requirements?" Wang Ya glanced at the dejected guinea pig wizard.

The wizard Sachi said, "Each pillar has its own rules and order, and is granted considerable autonomy. As long as the wizard who learned the sect is not killed, the rest of the punishments can be carried out according to the rules and order."

Wang Ya then asked, "The Hell Society is a good place. I want to join it. I wonder what the requirements are?"

Sachi the Wizard observed Wang Ya and sensed the undisguised aura of the Star Wizard on him. His smile deepened. "With your strength, the Hell Society naturally needs you. Rules must be followed. I urge you to venture into the five perilous places. The greater the internal authority of the Pillar of Hell, the higher the position and status you can hold in the Hell Society."

Wang Ya's eyes flashed, and he said curiously, "If I have more authority than Chairman Makarov, wouldn't I be able to become the new chairman?"

"If you can really do it, then it counts. In the Hell Society, the strong are respected." Wizard Sachi couldn't help but chuckle. The other formal wizards, who had originally been afraid to show any emotion due to the difference in strength, couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly and smile in their eyes.

"I understand. Thank you for informing me, Wizard Sachi. I won't participate in the public trial. This is my first time at the Pillars of Hell, and I'm curious about the five perilous places and the seven great opportunities." Wang Ya nodded to the group, turned, and walked into the void, disappearing from sight.

The wizard Sachi and his companions were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Lord Sachi, could it be that this person has really gone to the Five Great Perils for assessment?"

"You haven't been branded with the mark of hell yet. Aren't you afraid of being corrupted by the power of hell? The difficulty of the assessment will be even more terrifying, and obtaining opportunities will be even more difficult."

The wizard Sachi looked doubtful, feeling that this person was somewhat strange, even a bit whimsical.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Let him be. Too many newcomers confidently enter the Five Perilous Lands, but they will all suffer sooner or later and end up in my Hell Society."

"If these five perilous places were so easy to conquer, there would have been new pillars of hell long ago, but unfortunately there aren't."

"The appearance of Chairman Makarov is in accordance with destiny, and he will become the new lord of hell."

"Strength is not everything. What is needed in dangerous places, and the tests, are far more difficult than these newcomers imagine."

With the guinea pig wizard by his side, and under the curious gazes of some wizards along the way, the wizard Sachi flew into a space inside the Pillar of Hell.

That was the headquarters of the Hell Society, and the place where the public trial was about to take place.

The captured wizards were not limited to the guinea pig wizard alone.

On the other side, in the inner world, Wang Ya witnessed the battle between the Great Wizards of Radiant Moon. The Eye of Truth was operating at its limit, capturing extremely precious video information.
