Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 60 The Terrible Price of Transgressing the Rules | Advancement to First-Level Wizard

Six months later.

rain.

The mountain path was extremely muddy.

Vic's long robe trailed in the mud, his expression solemn, his steps firm.

Promoted one level.

The slightest mistake could result in utter destruction.

Vic is an expert in alchemy.

He knew all too well that concocting rare magical potions could take anywhere from several months to several years.

After reaching the critical state.

Based on his experience from his previous life, he habitually believed that as long as he collected all the materials and then drank the potion on a rainy day, he could advance smoothly. Even if he failed, he wouldn't have to spend too much time collecting the materials again.

The risk is very low.

Moreover, it perfectly suited his mediocre wizarding talent.

Because the high difficulty of promotion is the price that geniuses have to pay, while mediocre people can be promoted by taking things one step at a time and outrunning time.

just now.

Investigate the true method of promotion.

Vic's heart was as deep as an abyss.

He understood that this was the price he had to pay after taking the Enlightenment Potion to forcibly increase the strength and limit of his spiritual body, and after using alchemy to earn a large amount of cultivation resources.

Such a difficult promotion process.

This is no longer the treatment given to people with mediocre talent.

This is inextricably linked to his short thirty years of training from a wizard apprentice to a critical state.

Mediocre people race against time.

A genius struggles against fate.

This is a terrifying rule that has remained unchanged in the wizarding world for ages, and even the most powerful beings cannot shake it.

After his rebirth, Vic proceeded with extreme caution, never overstepping the rules in his words or actions.

But even the most meticulous plans can have flaws.

He originally thought that there was plenty of time to be promoted one level every thirty years.

However, looking at it now...

With his utterly mediocre talent, advancing one level every thirty years—in this race against time, he was still running a bit too fast.

at this point.

Overthinking is pointless.

Vic's pursuit of truth is eternal and unchanging, and nothing can stop him.

This time, he ventured into the uninhabited mountainous area alone.

Just for peace and stability.

Using one's own spiritual body as material, one can create an advancement potion. However, being disturbed by anyone during the process will increase the risk of failure.

The consequences of failure.

He can't afford it.

Vic found a hidden underground cave deep in the mountains.

There are undercurrents and jagged rocks.

Now that he was preparing for the promotion, he would not back down no matter how difficult it was.

Even so, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done before the promotion.

To conceal the entrance to the underground grotto.

He displayed the expensive alchemy equipment he had purchased.

Craft a large number of alchemical tools and potions, warm up your hands, and self-examine to see if there are any areas for improvement in your techniques and skills.

I have repeatedly come to understand and deepen the method of making the potion of advancement.

Finally, it's time to adjust your state.

A month later.

late at night.

Vic made all the necessary preparations and began his promotion.

He took out the ever-changing starlight and put it into a hundredfold diluted solution made from cosmic mayfly concentrate.

Smash it.

The cosmic starlight contained within the crystal ball, like a flowing cosmic sky, gradually dissolved in the diluent.

After a while.

Inside the enormous glass container, the originally clear, water-like diluted liquid now resembled a vast universe of stars, deep, dark, and dotted with countless stars.

A pure, unadulterated, mysterious power, like ripples in water, overflowed the container and spread outwards from Vic's feet.

Under the influence of this mysterious force.

The underground grotto where Vic was located resembled an endless starry sky, dazzling and spectacular.

at the same time.

He could clearly feel that this power had completely enveloped his spiritual body and was trying to penetrate inward.

Then.

Vic took out the Death Star Core, which was used as a potion stabilizer.

Immerse yourself in a starry illusion created by a magic potion.

The Death Star Core, like a real dying planet, received an external energy supply, began to revive, and connected with Vic's spiritual body.

It flew away from the palm of my hand.

It hovered in front of Vic, slowly rotating.

Vic's expression turned serious.

Following the method of making the Ascension Elixir, he concentrated intently and used the high temperature of the Bonefire to begin etching mysterious characters onto the surface of the suspended Death Star Core.

But the next moment.

Vic's expression, which was usually calm and composed, suddenly turned ferocious!

Because of extreme pain.

The instant the sorcery flames touched the core of the Death Star.

It began to spread from the spiritual body to the physical body, and in an instant, it filled every cell in the body.

The intense heat of the sorcery flames, leaving every tiny mark on the core of the Death Star, simultaneously scorched his spirit and body.

This.

It is the price that mortals must pay when they try to elevate their level of life!

After advancing to the first-level wizard, the higher the potential and the higher the ceiling, the heavier the cost and consequences!

The latest novel is first published here!

Vic was enduring immense torment at this time.

Even surpassing genius wizards.

The combined effect of rapidly increasing strength beyond the rules and the double cost of advancing in life form level is terrifying.

Even an old monster like Vic, who has lived for thousands of years and has been reborn twice, would find it difficult to withstand!

now.

Under the terrifying onslaught of magical flames.

Viktor struggled to hold on.

Every second was torture.

but.

The Death Star Core is the most disliked stabilizer among alchemists.

Its unshakeable stability.

The most direct manifestation of this price is that Vic's use of sorcery fire requires a long burning process to etch any mark onto it.

The ten ciphers required to upgrade potions.

At this moment, it seems so far away, like reaching the end of time.

The only belief that kept Vic from fainting was that truth is eternal.

That supreme achievement of the wizard.

Like the only beacon in the darkest hour.

Illuminate the path ahead.

Vic's spiritual body suddenly erupted with an incomparably ancient aura.

Until the mountains crumble and the seas dry up.

Until the universe is extinguished.

His eyes were filled with an almost tangible obsession, a frenzied resistance against the advancement potion that was trying to kill him.

After that.

Vic draws the next complete ascension cipher on the core of the Death Star.

His mental and physical energy will instantly double!

Boom-!

The overflowing spiritual pressure impacted the underground grotto, causing undercurrents to surge and strange rocks to break and fall as if hit by a gale.

His physical body was enveloped in the terrifying power of the ascending potion.

Musculoskeletal system continues to disintegrate.

Then reinvent yourself.

The repetition was endless and extremely painful.

but.

At this moment, the obsession in Vic's eyes had completely overshadowed the boundless pain.

The second secret text.

The third.

The fourth one.

Time has no meaning at this moment.

It might only last for a moment.

It may also last for a hundred years.

The magical heat of the Flame of the Bone remained constant on the surface of the Death Star's core, etching secret texts without wavering.

at last.

When the tenth complete cipher appeared on the surface of the Death Star's core.

Vic's mental energy density has expanded to its limit.

next moment.

The core of the Death Star has completely dissolved.

thereafter.

Within Vic's spiritual body, a pure sea of ​​energy, resembling a starry sky, suddenly appeared.

The pain of the promotion vanished without a trace, like an illusion.

Everything returned to calm.

He sat down on the ground.

The once hidden underground cave has completely collapsed under the terrifying power of the wizard's advancement, with ruins piled up around Vic's body.

It was afternoon.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle was falling.

Forty-one years after reincarnation.

Vic has been promoted to a first-level wizard.

He was fifty-seven years old that year.
