Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1925 Immortal Realm (Part Nine)

call……

The yellow sand stretches endlessly across the boundless desert.

After the howling wind, a huge vortex formed in the clouds high in the desert sky. Then, a pair of giant hands violently tore open the spatial rift, and from behind the dark spacetime rift, a pale-faced monster with three blinking eyes slowly squeezed in.

Green, Xiao Ba, and Hua Pi, as intruders, descend upon the chessboard.

Although it was an endless desert, it appeared quite differently to these beings from higher dimensions.

What is an endless desert to the chess pieces is, for Green, who wears the mask of truth, a grid of rules and principles woven from countless immortal runes, which is the chessboard grid that constrains and plans the famous space-time in a specific way. After observing these rules for a while, Green gained some understanding.

"A box."

After murmuring, Green slightly waved his right hand with the Truth Balance Magic Staff, and a milky white light engulfed everyone.

Xiao Ba and Hua Pi were baffled by this. Green's actions were to transform everyone into beings in a box world, separated by time and space, rather than chess pieces on a chessboard, as if it were a phenomenon of dimensional gaps.

This is the world of spectators in a chess game.

Sha, sha, sha, sha, sha.

A moment later, several monsters riding on giant snakes surrounded them from all directions, weaving along the specific lines of the chessboard. The snakes varied in length, the shortest being only three or four meters long, incredibly thick and dark, while the longest snake was over fifty meters long, shrouded in a layer of pink poisonous mist, and emitting a hissing sound.

"What's going on? There were definitely unusual fluctuations here just now, but we didn't find any trace of the evil god. Could it be a dimensional disturbance?"

The monster riding on the shortest and thickest giant snake was dripping with slime. A green longsword was attached to its right arm. Its thick body was almost spherical. It hunched its back and looked clumsy despite its great strength. Several lines were wrinkled on its broad forehead.

"Those evil gods who defy the heavens have been using increasingly unusual methods lately. Hmph, since they are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, they can only collude with those extradimensional monsters. Our duty is to maintain the ecological balance of the boundless desert!"

The creatures atop the giants lingered for a short while before dispersing.

As high-dimensional beings and observers on the chessboard, even if Green and the others are merely imposters, they possess a dimensional consciousness that is difficult for these low-dimensional beings to attain.

"The immortals should be completely extinct. Although some immortal will remains here, they are merely experimental subjects acting according to internal rules, and are not the immortals at all."

Xiao Ba said.

"I know that too."

After Green responded, he waved his Truth Balance Magic Staff, and the group appeared above the strongest player, the Celestial Serpent BOSS, on the chessboard in a flash of spacetime fluctuation. They were still observing the chess piece from the perspective of a high-dimensional being looking down from above.

Its lower body is already integrated with the countless rules within the chessboard. Only its upper body is a physical entity that can act freely, while its lower body is the chessboard itself. Therefore, theoretically, this giant serpent can appear anywhere on the surface of the chessboard. According to the rules of the chessboard, although it is the will of the creator of the chessboard, the embodiment of the will within the chessboard, and the self-circulating rules of the chessboard, it must also abide by the rules it has set. It is merely the strongest creature within this chessboard.

"The Heavenly Serpent should represent the Bitao Sect's understanding of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao on the chessboard, but it is not the embodiment of the Bitao Sect's will."

From Green's personal perspective, this celestial serpent represents the power of the Azure Wave Sect over the Heavenly Dao, which is also the wizard's understanding of truth and destiny. The Azure Wave Sect is far inferior to him.

The milky-white light of the Truth Balance Magic Wand flickered again, enveloping Green, Xiao Ba, and Hua Pi. After a moment of disorientation, they arrived in a cave.

As high-latitude beings, Green and his companions disregarded the obstacles such as cave walls and rock walls.

In their perception, these were nothing more than a world composed of immortal runes. For the creatures inside the chessboard that adapted to it and evolved on this basis, these immortal runes constituted the world. But for Green and others, who were the original runes of the grid in the endless world dimensions, they were merely phantoms of words, not even solid, gaseous, or liquid, just a layer of illusion.

Therefore, the group ignored all obstacles, such as the strokes on the wall, the light and shadow, and even the incomprehensible ghosts in biographical novels.

suddenly!

The old bat hanging upside down on the top floor of the cave suddenly opened its blood-red eyes. From its eyes, an infinite depth seemed to flow. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to instinctively sense something unusual, and its body inexplicably felt a chill.

"Who is it! A creature from a higher dimension?"

The bat's questioning, its way of communicating its will, was really rudimentary. It could only barely simulate some of the ways of communicating consciousness in the endless dimensions of the world. Most of its skills still came from the immortal script on the chessboard. Not to mention Green's unparalleled consciousness, its laughable level of consciousness application was just like the blood language of an infant.

Despite being much weaker than the Heavenly Serpent, it was able to sense Green and the others' observation and spying, which was indeed quite different!

"Yes, this is the vessel that represents the consciousness of the immortals. Cultivators who break through the Heavenly Dao are not fundamentally different from wizards in general."

Green observed the bat's entire structure as if flipping through pages of a book or looking at a jade slip spoken of by a first-ring true spirit wizard.

This is the essence left behind by the Bitao Sect!

"Hehehe, should we take it out and study it slowly?"

What Xiao Ba was referring to was, of course, taking the chess piece directly from here as a high-dimensional observer.

Shaking his head, Green said in a low voice, "There's no need. The closer we get to the limit of the endless world's dimensions, the more creatures like to study dimensions. Once they've seen enough, that's all they'll know. The value of this chessboard lies in its completeness, not in the will of this immortal."

"Yes, I mean we should put the whole chessboard away!"

After a brief silence, Green stretched out his palm and pointed at the old bat's body, where he scribbled a few immortal characters. It was a trivial matter and did not cause any abnormality in the old bat. After another shiver, the old bat, though suspicious, could not be sure whether there was anything really wrong or if he was just restless.

This is the absolute superiority gap between beings of different dimensions.

"Ultimately, it was just an experiment, like those high-latitude creatures like us."

With a sigh, Grimm enveloped the group once more in a milky-white light. As time and space shifted and countless immortal runes were pushed aside, Grimm, Xiao Ba, and Hua Pi arrived at the bottom of the chessboard world, on an endless swarm of ants.

"There are so many! How pathetic and pitiful are these ants, microorganisms that can only walk on a flat surface. Even if those snakes were just floating on this piece of paper, these ants wouldn't even notice their presence, let alone us! To these ants, we are probably terrifying creatures that have surpassed gods and all their imagination and cognition."

A dense swarm of ants wriggled and crawled around, while the laws and rules above them seemed like a thin sheet of paper. To three-dimensional creatures, it seemed like they could climb up at any moment, but to these two-dimensional ants, it was an insurmountable barrier.

After blinking his tricolored eyes for a while, Grimm suddenly said, "There's a mutant over there."

It turned out to be an ant, which seemed to be aware of its own existence, and climbed onto the backs of the two ants, making a gesture as if it wanted to ascend to the sky. However, to Green's disappointment, the ant's mutation only lasted for a brief moment. In the end, it was just a fleeting flash of inspiration and it did not persist in taking action to change its fate.

"Forget it, only after billions and billions of mutations can one ant persevere. It's not that easy for low-dimensional organisms to influence high-dimensional organisms."

As he spoke, Green casually drew a circle on the ground.

The so-called circle is merely a protrusion on this vast, uneven surface, created by the influence of high-dimensional beings on the arrangement of the celestial runes. Even an unconscious child could do the same.

But such an insignificant method was an incomprehensible miracle to these ants, as if a piece of spacetime had been "missing" out of thin air, separated by an unknown means, and disappeared from their perception.

Once some ants nearby realized this, they consciously tried to use their tentacles to sense, observe, and think.

Lin looked down from this circle and saw an endless, ominous chaos, along with absurd rules of imagination, all sorts of bizarre things intertwined. Xiao Ba cried out, "Dimensional gap!?"

"Hehehe."

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm sneered, "As expected, it's not that simple. They actually left a backdoor here! Even a small sect like this has such methods. Who knows what strange and bizarre methods those large sects have come up with to fight against the Heavenly Dao. However, although dimensional gaps are theoretically layers separating high and low dimensions, throughout history, there have only been three paths: the Dimensional Path, the Infinite Microcosm, and the Void Path. There has never been an option for the Dimensional Path. It's a path that leads to despair."

As he spoke, Green casually smoothed out the circle again, and the spacetime that the two-dimensional ant had just lost returned to its senses.

Such a miracle caused the ants, which possess independent thinking abilities, to exhibit some unusual behavior.
