A journey into an infinite dimension

It's not a system of 'mastering power within oneself' by cultivating and utilizing some kind of energy, such as magic and spiritual power. If you must put it bluntly, it's more like a system of 'controlling and directing extraordinary power for one's own use'.

The former is that one's own strength is the only strength.

As for the latter, one's own strength comes from the extraordinary external power that one controls.

Generally speaking, the biggest weakness of the latter system is the existence of its own entity.

However, if Ye Jian chose this system, then this weakness would not exist for him.

Firstly, the existence of Yue was equivalent to guaranteeing his true body; secondly, with his talent, he could fully take into account both types of systems—that is, while his external extraordinary power was powerful, he himself was equally powerful.

Plus the ability to see through everything and the characteristics of being immune to all contamination.

In the end, after using various information to make deductions, Ye Jian quickly determined the feasibility of this path.

So the next question is which system to choose for cultivation.

Well, the problem is back to the beginning.

Chapter 391: What kind of ability mechanism is this? They are all interesting toys.

In the end, according to Yonglin's suggestion, Ye Jian chose magic as his training system.

The reason is simple. The magic system has the highest versatility. This system, which covers many different types of magic, is almost equivalent to a systematic knowledge system. It is omnipotent and can make the most perfect use of Ye Jian's talents.

For example, you can directly observe all relevant information from the root directory of 'magic'... and so on.

Under Yonglin's guidance, after spending a few breaths, Ye Jian successfully sensed the magical factors floating in the air and successfully exerted influence through his mental power.

There is no way. With the help of the "Eye of True Vision", Ye Jian's advantage in magic is too great.

Others need to understand, recognize, and become familiar with the concept of "magic" from scratch, but he knew what "magic" was from the beginning and had the formula to use mental power to influence it, so the time required naturally could not be long.

The essence of magic is to use one's own magical power and spiritual power to communicate with the elements between heaven and earth, and then integrate the two through various means such as chanting, mediums, rituals, etc.

Perceiving magic power is the first step to getting started, and the second step is to create your own magic power within the body.

This step took Ye Jian a little longer than when he was sensing.

Because if you are not careful, you might accidentally bring out the power of other systems.

But fortunately, it was successful in the end without any accidents.

However, everyone, including Ye Jian himself, thought that his practice of cultivating magic power might cause changes in the unknown energy hidden in his body, but in the end, nothing happened.

Everything was so peaceful and smooth—it looked normal, and in fact, it was normal.

Unexpectedly normal.

However, it is naturally a good thing if there are no accidents, so Ye Jian’s journey of cultivation has begun.

"Xiaoye, is there any magic system you want to focus on studying?"

Kaguya, who had dropped her game and come to watch since Yami started training, asked curiously to Yami who was playing with magic.

"....It should be puppet magic."

He paused his movements, perhaps he was hesitating, or as if he suddenly remembered something. After a long silence, Ye Jian said with a smile.

......

......

"It's winter again."

Ye Jian exhaled a breath of white mist, looked up at the clean and blue sky above his head through the gaps between the bamboos, and couldn't help but sigh.

The temperature dropped, and even though he had already started training, Ye Jian's attire changed.

The most obvious change was the long red scarf around his neck.

In the slightly chilly breeze, the two ends of the scarf were like two tails, dancing lightly and gracefully in the wind. Combined with Ye Jian's small figure, she looked extremely adorable.

"It's so long..."

As if he was a little uncomfortable, he adjusted the scarf around his neck and let out a sigh of relief again.

He was indeed a little uncomfortable with wearing a scarf.

Because this is the first time he wears a scarf.

In previous winters, since we basically didn’t go out, there was naturally no need to wear a scarf.

Under the influence of Kaguya's "Eternity" ability, the temperature inside the Eternal Pavilion is always at the most suitable level, whether it is summer or winter, rainy or sunny.

In addition, part of the reason why Ye Jian felt uncomfortable was because of the scarf itself.

According to legend, the Fire Rat Fur Coat is made from the fur of the Fire Rat, a magical beast that lives in volcanoes. It has the magical power of being invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. It can protect the wearer from the influence of external temperature changes and always keep him at the most suitable temperature. It also has the ability to ward off fire, allowing people to step into fire without getting hurt.

At the same time, this is also one of the five difficult questions that the beautiful Princess Kaguya used to answer the suitors in "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".

In this way, it becomes obvious where Ye Jian got this rare treasure.

【It's almost time to awaken the Stand. 】

Ge Jiuye said softly.

[I wonder what my Stand's abilities will be. Soul materialization, wouldn't it be the kind of adaptability that can adapt to absolute characteristics?]

Taking out a broken arrow with a golden arrowhead from his sleeve, Ye Jian gently played with the arrow and guessed with some anticipation.

This arrow is the prerequisite for awakening the "Stand". As long as someone is stabbed by it, the being with the "Stand" ability talent can directly awaken his own "Stand".

If one is not gifted, he will die immediately.

Apart from this, it is not that there are no other ways to awaken the "Stand", but the prerequisite for all methods is to have talent. Otherwise, no matter how many methods you try, you will not be able to awaken your "Stand".

And this arrow is naturally one of Kaguya's collection.

In fact, Ye Jian was very curious about where his sister got these things that were obviously from another world.

Because he didn't read the information in this regard, he didn't know the details.

[Probably impossible. The rank of your origin characteristic is countless times higher than that of your Stand. Even if it were infinitely weakened, it would not be something that the Stand's level of ability could manifest.]

Ge Jiuye silently poured a bucket of cold water on Ye Jian, telling him not to think too much.

Should I be happy or disappointed?

He smiled slightly helplessly, then Ye Jian held the broken arrow in reverse and suddenly stabbed it into the palm of his other hand.

呲————

The skin and flesh were pierced by the sharp arrowhead, and blood quietly flowed out from the wound. Amidst the slight pain, Ye Jian could clearly feel that something was entering his body from the arrowhead through the wound.

Along with the occurrence of this change, there comes a strange feeling as if the cells and genes in the body begin to become active.

As is often used as a video title on the Internet, the so-called 'DNA Tremor'.

However, Ye Jian knew that it was not his DNA that was really trembling.

This feeling is merely an illusion created by the body's instinctive absorption of beneficial external factors and elimination of harmful ones.

However, the feeling is indeed a bit subtle.

Ye Jian felt his body's sensations with a strange expression, always having the urge to follow his body's guidance and strike a certain posture on the spot.

However, this impulse was successfully suppressed after he observed the information about what the so-called "certain posture" was.

I can't do it, and I don't want to do it.

【What's wrong with it? It's pretty good, isn't it?】

Ge Jiuye encouraged with a wicked smile.

【I'm just a little kid.】

After complaining helplessly, Ye Jian "looked" at the changes inside his body, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

【Speaking of which, Kakuya, what would happen if I manipulated my magic power and mixed it into this change? 】

At the same time that Ye Jian had this thought, a new piece of information was observed in his eyes.

[Then the rank of the Stand's ability will probably be elevated. From now on, the main expenditure for controlling the Stand will no longer be physical strength, but will become magic power.]

Ge Jiuye, who finished reading the information faster than Ye Jian, directly helped him draw a conclusion.

[Also, the power of a Stand is always limited. So if you want Yue to become your Stand, not only is it impossible to succeed, but even if it succeeds, it will only weaken Yue's status and impurities will be mixed into your soul. It will have no benefit at all.]

After hearing what Ge Jiuye said, Ye Jian, who had just come up with this idea, didn't even need to read the message and directly dismissed the idea.

It's good enough to be able to use magic to improve the ability of the stand, so don't be too greedy.

Thinking indifferently, Ye Jian then mobilized the magic power in his body, manipulating this magic power that belonged to him to mix into the interaction between external factors and the body's instincts, devouring and being devoured.

His unprecedented action among awakened stands unexpectedly accelerated the development and progress of the entire process.

boom! ! !

A wave of magical power suddenly exploded around Ye Jian. Under the influence of the magic power, the fire rat fur scarf wrapped around his neck suddenly ignited with flame-like magic power, and it looked as if the entire scarf had turned into a long strip of flame.

Sparks were flying around, and in Yu Ye's pair of bright and brilliant eyes, the flame-like colors and the patterns of the moon and butterfly seemed to become more and more lifelike at this moment.

Then, at a certain moment, the shadow of a tarot card appeared quietly in Ye Jian's eyes, and suddenly shattered into countless star fragments and dissipated.

jingle---

The next moment, there seemed to be some kind of faint crisp humming between heaven and earth. At the same time, behind Ye Jian, a figure guarding him gradually appeared in the reality of this world from virtual to real.

Extending from the sacred dragon-like figure are wings that cover the sky, composed of thousands of twisted and indescribable tentacles; the majestic red-gold vertical pupils encompass the boundless starry sky and nothingness; in the hands is a huge bell that carves out fate and time, and plays the sound of the destiny of all living beings from beginning to end.

Indescribable majesty, sacred indescribable.

【Finally till this moment】

This is a contract, and also an opportunity.

You and I will be reunited as one

[Eternal calamity will crown us]

This is the time of destiny.

[Let us rise from this memory, our true name]

My name is————

The cold and divine words lifted Ye Jian's spirits. As if by divine intervention or as if his heart had sensed something, a strange yet inexplicably familiar name quietly emerged in his mind and was involuntarily blurted out by him.

"Source: Void"

As soon as the words fell, the next moment, the scenery of the entire world suddenly changed drastically.

The icy air was replaced by scorching heat, and the lost bamboo forest transformed into a plain filled with endless flames of glass. The blue sky above had darkened at some point, and two desolate full moons hung high in the night sky. The huge shadows that could not be described in rational words danced in disorder, madness, and chaos, yet remained consistent and untiring.

This is not a scene that should exist in this world; it is a scene that is absolutely incomprehensible to human intelligence.

But Ye Jian felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy in this scenery.

Whether it was the instinctive manipulation of the surrounding flames like his own arm, or the resentment he felt from the shadow, Ye Jian was confused.

“Tekeli—li”

“Tekeli—li”

“Tekeli—li”

However, just as Ye Jian's brain was in a short daze due to the overwhelming information, a large number of disgusting screams quietly came into his ears, one closer than the other.

Chapter 392: Tekeli—Li＞?＜

"So many....Shoggoths?"

Coming back to his senses from the overwhelming amount of blasphemous information, Ye Jian looked at the large number of amorphous creatures that had gathered around him at some point, and a question mark popped up in his head.

The postures of these creatures were like a mass of nightmarish, shiny black slime. Their shapeless bodies emitted a faint stench and flickered with strange, colorful light.

On the surface of this form are tens of thousands of bubble-like green eyes. These strange green single eyeballs are constantly undergoing a cycle of decomposition and generation as the amorphous body wriggles and flows.

The overall posture of the body is terrifying and disgusting, and is absolutely unacceptable to any normal or distorted aesthetic view. It is also not something that can be born naturally. It is as if it is born to be hated by all living things.

However, although Ye Jian knew that this attitude was difficult to accept, he never had even the slightest negative impression towards them.

There's even a strange sense of intimacy.
