Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 1082

Chapter 1065 Is this competition too difficult?

When Gangdingdi Martial God saw Locke suddenly break free from his spacetime freeze, he was immediately enraged. This was clearly because Shanchuan Ke had given Locke the core rules of this world, the Ancestral God’s Treasure as the wizards called it.

Gangdingdi Martial God’s voice boomed like a great bell.

“Wizards who obtain the Ancestral God’s Treasure can only die here.”

“You cannot escape.”

He stretched out his hand, and instantly his palm seemed infinitely large, the world infinitely vast. With a flick of his wrist, he could manipulate the clouds and rain. Locke, using the Great Bright Dragon Sparrow and Great Spring Wind Dragon Sparrow spells, appeared to be flying and moving rapidly with Shanchuan Ke, but in reality, he was merely flying within a single palm line in Gangdingdi’s palm.

The Five Stars of Martial Arts appeared in the sky of the Neptune World. Their starlight shone brightly, transforming into star power. Each ray of star power contained the unique Qi Gong technique of Gangdingdi Martial God, the ancestral god of heaven and earth, the primordial spirit of this world, the origin of Qi, and the ancestor of martial arts. This technique was called the Five Fists of Martial Arts.

Although Gangdingdi Martial God was not yet a complete ancestral god, lacking the step of completely annihilating the Mountain and River Guest, under the transformation of the God of Craftsmanship, the Dwarf King, of the Terra pantheon, he already possessed power surpassing that of the native Void Gods. His Martial Principle encompassed the myriad world principles of the Neptune World, and these myriad world principles, enhanced by the divinity of his Persepolis divine race, unleashed incredible power. The Neptune

World was a medium-to-large-scale world.

The world itself possessed a total magical pressure at the third ring level, while the ancestral gods of heaven and earth were at the solar ring level. Originally, this world could have given birth to more solar ring beings, even eventually reaching the third ring level, pushing the total magical pressure of the entire world to an even higher level.

Unfortunately, Shan Chuan Ke was previously jealous and intolerant, which is why the Sea King World was suppressed to this extent.

Just now, the God of War watched Locke and Shan Chuan Ke slowly “flying” within the lines of his palm, and a smile crept onto his lips. He hadn’t expected that after being modified by that great figure from the Terra pantheon of the Persepolis gods, he had become so powerful. Shan Chuan Ke had become a mere pawn in his palm, insignificant.

The same magical pressure could produce such different strengths.

Was this the power of the Void Gods?

“Wizard, you’re courting death. The Ancestral God’s Treasure is my foundation. If you obtain it, even if I become a member of the Terra pantheon, you will be like a Damocles’ sword hanging over my head.”

“You will surely die today.”

Unfortunately, Gangdingdi, the God of War, suddenly sensed something was wrong. A portion of his power had been diverted, albeit a small one, but it interfered with his control over the Sea King World. Before he could react, a fist appeared in front of his face.

It was a black steel gauntlet, similar to the Six Gods Armor on Gangdingdi’s body, and it struck him directly in the face.

With a loud “bang,” Gangdingdi screamed in pain, feeling his own power attacking him.

The Sea King World also slipped from his control.

Heaven and earth, sun and moon, became chaotic, with the sun rising and the moon rising intermittently.

Amidst the alternation of sun and moon, Gangdingdi focused his gaze and saw his shadow automatically extend out in front of him. Then, a Sun and Moon Ritual appeared beside this shadow, the sun and moon moving in parallel. Under the power of this ritual, a shadow of Gangdingdi, the God of War, appeared.

Second-Order Orange Potion: Nero’s Potion No. 3!

Based on the core function of the Cicada Spirit Macro, this Nero Potion No. 3 was modified by adding the Crimson Vampire Stone Spirit Macro and altering the auxiliary material formula, incorporating the power of the Sun and Moon Ritual.

Its power far surpasses that of Nero Potion No. 2, which simply utilizes the Crimson Vampire Stone Spirit Macro.

If a potion master were to witness a wizard creating a potion of this caliber using the Crimson Vampire Stone Spirit Macro during the Dark Ages, they would undoubtedly be astonished. After

all, in that era, only the Wizarding Lord and those permitted by the Wizarding Lord could access such spirit macros.

Just then, the War God, looking at his crimson self, his face darkened. At that moment, the voice of the Steel King, who composed his six divine armors, appeared in his ears.

“Be careful, this is what makes wizards so troublesome. They’re a weak group, yet they always manage to create huge problems for us in the smallest details we miss. That magical plant that shot into your body just now must have injected some strange substance they call a potion into your body.”

“The split you you are now is probably the effect of that potion,”

said Gangdingdi Wushen. “I feel that the being opposite me shares the same origin. Fighting him damages the foundation of my own power. Is it possible for something like this to happen?” “

Also, the source of divine power is the entry of the principles of the planes into divinity, which is how unparalleled divine power is born. This is the true way of using power that the Persepolis gods taught me, a level of power that the crude, direct use of the principles of the planes by the native gods, such as the Mountain Traveler directly using the principles of the planes or the matter and energy derived from them, cannot reach. But why is it that this wizard, who doesn’t even have the right to invoke the principles of the planes, let alone utilizes divinity and the principles of divinity as skillfully as we do, can achieve this level?”

“Logically speaking, without using the principles of the planes, it’s just a battle at the level of mortals.”

“Even in the Sea King’s world, without using the principles of the planes, it’s ultimately just a fight between mortals. How could he achieve this using mortal methods?”

The Flame King said, “There are many more strange things about wizards.”

“We can’t figure it out either. All I know is that they are not our Void Gods, and cannot invoke the principles of the planes with their own divine power.”

“Don’t worry, you have the blessing of the Six Gods, you have my Heartfire Soul, I can give you powerful divine power. And the opponent is just a Star Ring level existence. I think, because that wizard himself is only a Star Ring Wizard, the potions he concocts are at most of that level. God of Starlight, quickly use your Starlight Eye to let the God of War see through all the illusions of the universe.”

The God of War blocked the fist that was coming at him. The two Ancestral Gods clashed, and the sun and moon became even more obscured. The God of War

countered with a cannon punch, the Martial Arts Five Fists: Myriad Manifestations Divine Fist!

This punch contained the power of martial arts stars, seemingly encompassing countless planes of reasoning. The planes of reasoning from the Sea King’s world exploded forth from his hand like cannonballs. This transformation of planes of reasoning could only be achieved under the influence of the Martial God’s divinity. These planes of reasoning manifested as myriad phenomena according to the Martial God’s divinity.

With a single punch, myriad phenomena bombarded the enemy.

Another Gangdingdi vanished instantly, but at the same time, as the price for his own destruction, Gangdingdi Martial God himself was forced back half a step, clearly having injured himself.

“Such bizarre wizarding methods. Is this the great enemy of my race, the wizarding civilization?”

“Although they, as mortals, cannot directly manipulate planes of reasoning, can they indirectly utilize them through various details, or even create power exceeding the limits of planes of reasoning?”

Gangdingdi Martial God used the Starlight Eye on his Six Gods Armor helmet.

Countless planes of reasoning converged towards his helmet.

Under the influence of the Star God’s divinity, his Starry Eyes transformed into all-seeing power, sweeping across the Sea King’s World.

“Gone? Impossible. That wizard might be able to leave this world, but the Mountain Traveler cannot.”

“He must be somewhere hidden in this world, eking out a living in a corner I cannot see.”

“His dimensional principles must also be imprinted in some small corner of this world, which is why I cannot become a complete Ancestral God. I have spread my teachings throughout the world, already becoming the Martial Ancestor. His power is gone. I am only one step away from ascension; how can I be stuck here?” The

Martial God of the Fixed Land roared in fury. “Calm down, calm down. It’s just one last step. Why should I be so agitated? Once I find Shan Chuan Ke, I’ll win.”

“Think about it carefully. His survival, and his sudden disappearance, are probably related to the wizard. I received a gift from the Persepolis gods, a divine seed. He probably also received some benefit from the wizard, and that benefit might be the ability to create a small world within the Sea King’s world that I can’t even perceive.”

“His dimensional principles are hidden within that small world.”

“That explains it.”

The War God, now firmly established, fell into deep thought, using his divine eye to survey the nine heavens and ten earths, the three thousand small worlds within this world, and the hundreds of thousands of demi-planes, examining countless existences.

“So as long as I patiently and carefully search the Sea King world, no matter how difficult it is to find this small world, even if it takes fifty years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, I can find it. I am already a god of the Terra pantheon; I have the time and patience.

“

The God of War, Gangdingdi, closed his eyes. He had used his representatives in the human world—the masters of various martial arts schools—to tell everyone in the world to search for the great demon—Dark World—Mountain Traveler.

With him searching, and the majority of the beings in the Sea King world searching, the time to find this small world shouldn’t be too long.

However, that wizard—

Gangdingdi—thought carefully. “He only used a little trick to successfully ambush me.”

“If I had just become a god in the Terra pantheon, I could have killed him. That would have been very beneficial for me.”

“In a direct confrontation, he wouldn’t stand a chance against me. The key point is that he took the ancestral god’s treasure from the Sea King world. I had to kill him, otherwise he might come looking for trouble later. That damned Shanchuan Ke actually gave the ancestral god’s treasure to a wizard. He should know how important the ancestral god’s treasure is to the ancestral god.” “

Even if this were given to a local god in the Sea King world, it could lead to that god betraying us.”

“How could he become so magnanimous? “

“Is this still him?”

Gangdingdi looked suspicious. Could it be that Shanchuan Ke and that wizard had reached some kind of agreement, like the agreement he made with the Terra pantheon when he joined the Persepolis gods? Had

Shanchuan Ke also betrayed the Sea King world?

Gangdingdi, the God of War, issued a divine decree to the representative of the entire Sea King world.

“I will preach for thirty days, imparting profound martial arts to the world. Whoever can slay Dark Heaven and Earth – Mountain and River Guest will become a Martial Immortal and ascend to immortality!”

In an instant, all the mortal martial artists in the entire Sea King world erupted in excitement.

Within Helen’s magical scroll space, Locke and Mountain and River Guest landed on a cloud, panting softly.

Locke also realized how dangerous it had been.

If his Nero No. 3 potion hadn’t caught the opponent off guard, he wouldn’t have escaped Gangdingdi’s grasp. And Gangdingdi – Martial God seemed to have a backup plan, possibly a sealing power. If the opponent suddenly turned the tables, perhaps Mountain and River Guest would be suppressed and absorbed, while he himself would be sealed.

Fortunately, he had activated Nero No. 3 potion beforehand.

With the intervention of the Persepolis gods, this world, which wasn’t originally too dangerous for wizards, had become different.

Mountain and River Guest gasped for breath.

Locke

, sitting on the ground, began to digest the Ancestral God’s Treasure given to him by Shan Chuan Ke. He discovered that the rules of heaven and earth of this world given by Shan Chuan Ke contained no spiritual energy, since spiritual energy only exists within living beings. However, this could be translated as spiritual macrocosm or spiritual touch.

Of course, these things seemed to be able to be translated only once.

And he naturally chose to translate it as spiritual macrocosm.

In an instant, various spiritual macrocosms of the Sea King world appeared in his mind, one after another, the spiritual macrocosms corresponding to objects unique to the Sea King world appeared in Locke’s mind, saving Locke countless hours of research and recording of these spiritual macrocosms.

Shan Chuan Ke looked around worriedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the War God of the Fixed Ground had not attacked.

Shan Chuan Ke had developed a certain admiration for Locke’s methods, because just now he thought he was finished, but Locke had actually led him out.

Therefore, Shan Chuan Ke now completely believed Locke. “Locke, no, Master Locke.”

“You will definitely become a third-ring potion master in the future. Now, do you have a way to deal with Gang Ding Di? How could Gang Ding Di become so powerful? Isn’t he too strong?”

“I feel like even if I recover to my peak level, I’m no match for him now. What exactly was his method just now?”

Locke ignored Shan Chuan Ke and closed his eyes, trying to sort out the ancestral god treasures in his mind.

“No, just these things alone will take me at least a few years to digest. I need assistants and students to help me record these spirit macros,”

Locke pondered. “Now I need to see if there’s anything most important.

Within the entire second-ring potion system, the total number of spirit macros that can serve as core functions is only a little over five hundred.

That is to say, the number of second-ring spirit macros with the potential to serve as core functions is very limited.

Especially considering that a wizard usually only studies one small area of potion science, and a wizard has potions they are good at and potions they are not good at, the number of core function spirit macros that a second-ring wizard can master is generally not too many.

Some may have as few as three or four,

while others may have dozens, which is already quite a deep accumulation.

After all, there are many types of potion recipes that can be directly used to refine core function spirit macros, and if you add the core function spirit macros themselves…” By modifying macros and overlapping spirit macros, creating subspecies of core-function spirit macros, or combining other spirit macros with this core-function spirit macro, the number of potions that can be refined becomes extremely large.

At this moment, Locke is very interested in whether there are any spirit macros in the Sea King world that can serve as core-function spirit macros.

Of course, he can only glance at them briefly,

searching for core-function spirit macros with obvious clues.

There are many key characteristics of a core-function spirit macro, one of which is its ability to interact and react with many spirit macros, and its own stability, without significant changes.

Locke glanced through them briefly and didn’t find any new core-function spirit macros, but he did find two core-function spirit macros in the Sea King world that had been researched very thoroughly: the [Golden Bull Horn Spirit Macro] and the [Yellow Essence Clay Spirit Macro].

These two things in the Sea King world… These also exist, forming various treasures and resources in the Sea King world, and Locke has come to recognize the spiritual essence of some of these things.

Locke closed his eyes and began to digest the information related to these two spiritual essences.

Locke searched for the classic potions represented by these two spiritual essences. The classic potion of orange quality from the Golden Bull Horn is the [Takla Invincible Potion]. When this potion is taken, one can be absolutely immune to any harm for one minute.

The classic potion that the Yellow Essence Clay spiritual essence can be used to refine at the orange quality stage is the [Karasha Transformation Potion].

The effect of this potion is to add the spiritual essence of the being one wants to become. Drinking this potion allows one to temporarily transform into that being for one hour. It is worth mentioning that as an orange quality Star Ring Potion, this potion is very special because it can transform one into a being at the Moon Ring level.

This makes the Karasha Transformation Potion a common… The potion used was a Star Ring Potion.

Because it allows a Star Ring wizard to transform into a Moon Ring-level being for an hour after ingestion (while their own magic pressure remains unchanged), this potion is very popular on the battlefield.

Admittedly, transforming into a Moon Ring-level being doesn’t mean you are that being, and you might not even possess the corresponding magic pressure.

But with proper study, this potion can still be used for many things.

The Ancestral God’s Treasure was indeed very rewarding; even just the initial digestion has reduced what would normally take me five years in potion-making. I quickly mastered the ability to extract and utilize these two core-function spirit macros. As long as I have the materials, I can try to refine those two potions.”

Locke pondered: “Besides, whether there are any undiscovered core-function spirit macros in the Sea King world is still unknown.

Although the possibility is relatively low, I can find students or other wizards to help me organize and carefully investigate this spirit macro information; it’s not impossible that we might find something.” “Besides, even if there’s nothing to gain, if I synthesize some objects corresponding to potential spiritual macros, I might be able to extract new core spiritual macros. But

let’s not rush this.”

A scene flashed through Locke’s mind.

It was a sea-blue world in the endless void, a floating continent.

This is—

Locke carefully observed the scene; clearly, it was the hidden true form of the Sea King’s world, but incomplete. This

was because he hadn’t fully deciphered the Ancestral God’s Treasure.

Yes, the Ancestral God was the representative of a world, giving him the rules of heaven and earth. This meant he could, to some extent, fully understand this world, and the world itself could derive spiritual macros from it.

Spiritual macros are the hidden true forms of all things and all existence.

The Sea King’s world itself is also a part of all things and all existence.

If he could fully decipher the Ancestral God’s Treasure, wouldn’t he be able to extract the Sea King’s world’s spiritual macro from it?

Locke paused, because he didn’t know much about world spiritual macros, nor did he know what such spiritual macros could do in potion-making. He quickly accessed the free resources on the Water Hyacinth System, skimming through a few books. He discovered that while World Spirit Macros weren’t as crucial in potion-making as Core Function Macros, a

well-developed World Spirit Macro, when paired with a suitable Core Function Macro, could often be used to craft incredibly powerful potions.

It was the ultimate goal for potion masters.

However, a single Ancestral God’s Treasure could only correspond to one potentially obtainable World Spirit Macro.

World Spirit Macros could almost only be obtained through acquiring Ancestral God’s Treasures.

Locke read in the books about World Spirit Macros, describing how a wizard directly observed the entire world and extracted the World Spirit Macro from its entirety.

This was generally impossible. Therefore, the simplest way was to obtain the Ancestral God’s Treasure through the Ancestral God. “

Wait a minute.” “

Lady Sea Queen is a potion master. She used to be on good terms with the Ancestral God, Mountain Guest. Could it be that she harbored the desire to obtain the Ancestral God’s Treasure?”

Locke shook his head; he couldn’t possibly know the answer to such a question.

At this moment, Locke stood up and took out a magic scroll from his astral ring. Seeing this, Shan Chuan Ke quickly stood up as well, looking expectantly at Locke.

Locke said to Shan Chuan Ke, “I have some things to attend to in the wizarding world.”

“I need to take care of them. And Mr. Shan Chuan Ke, your problem isn’t something that can be solved overnight. I need to think carefully and research thoroughly before I can find a solution. Staying here is just a waste of time, so I need to leave first.”

Shan Chuan Ke was a little nervous. “It’s alright, just remember to come back.”

“You’re not going to disappear forever, are you?”

Locke glanced at Shan Chuan Ke, his figure gradually disappearing from the spot. “I said I would keep my word.”

“I will do my best in everything. Since I promised you, I will try my best.”

“But whether it can solve the problem depends on how much my potion-making skills can improve.”

Shan Chuan Ke quickly said, “Then Locke, when are you coming back?”

The next moment, Locke disappeared from the spot.

Shan Chuan Ke’s expression changed when he saw Locke disappear.

“For now, I can only trust him. If all else fails, I’ll go to the Wizarding World to hide.”

“This space is a large potion from Helen. I can use this large potion to go directly to the Wizarding World. I also have a registered identity in the Wizarding World, so I can buy a ticket.

“

“At worst, I’ll just go into exile overseas!”

Shan Chuan Ke felt extremely sad. “Locke, the Sea King world and I are counting on you.”

In

the Wizarding World, three days later, in the Valley of Despair Laboratory

, the echo of Probus stood before the gates of the Valley of Despair Laboratory. He held a phoenix-tail bamboo, from which purple-red balloons of anger danced. He glared angrily at everyone before him, his hair and beard bristling.

—At

the same time, the Sun Ring Wizard with red bangs appeared outside the wizarding town of Valley of Despair.

The Sun Ring Wizard glanced at the barrier left by Locke that blocked the Moon Ring Wizard and the Sun Ring Wizard, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. Then, he raised a magical banner and addressed everyone, saying, “Now everyone is here. I declare the first Probus Truth Unveiling Competition officially begins today.”

As he waved the magical banner, True Sight Crystal Balls floated in mid-air, then quickly disappeared into thin air.

This means the entire competition will be recorded and broadcast live, and watched by many wizards in the Starfield Sea and the Eastern Frontier who have purchased viewing rights. The competition committee has already ordered the alchemists to specially adjust the True Sight crystals, allowing them to enter the Despair Valley Laboratory.

The Sun Ring Wizard said, “Please, the six contestants, enter the competition venue immediately. What happens during the competition will also be simultaneously displayed in this wizarding town. We have conducted commercial negotiations with the landowners of this wizarding town and ensured the personal safety of the spectators entering the town to watch the competition.”

Wizard Ex waved to the True Sight crystals that had become invisible in the sky.

“As a citizen of the wizarding world, I have always abided by the law and respected the values of the White Wizarding Association. As one of the property owners of this wizarding town, I feel honored to be able to make a due contribution to society.”

Many members of the Swamp People Club looked on with dismay, unable to bear the sight.

The Narcissus Witch, who had come to watch the match, whispered, “What property owners, what landowners in the wizarding town? Even the magistrates of the Starfield Sea wouldn’t dare tell the audience the truth, that this is the Black Wizarding Region.”

The Violet Witch, Bella, supported herself on her hips, her eyes shining brightly as she watched Locke Augustine lead his investigation team of wizards towards them.

The moment Locke Augustine arrived, everyone—Bella, Patrick, the fat councilor Grandet, and the Tyrannosaurus Wizard Kent—turned their gazes towards him.

The Tyrannosaurus Wizard Kent blocked Locke’s path, saying, “You’ve arrived?”

“Why so late? I thought you were scared.”

Locke nodded to him as he passed by, then addressed all the contestants, including the young princess of the Maupassant family, the witch Bailouluo, “Everyone, let’s enter the laboratory.” “

But before entering, we must first pass the test of the Probus Wizard.”

Locke glanced at the now-invisible True Sight Crystal Matrix in the sky. He knew many wizards from the Rain Swamp were watching the competition, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.

“One of you wants to avenge your humiliation, one wants revenge for a friend, one wants to uphold the club’s reputation, and one has received a gift from someone else and wants to challenge me. Well then, all of you, come on! I hope this competition ends soon.”

Locke transformed into a streak of light and entered the laboratory.

Wizard Kent snorted coldly, also transforming into a streak of light, dodging the Probus Wizard’s attack, and rushing inside.

“You just wait!”

the Purple Witch Bella roared in fury. “Lock Augustine, how dare you underestimate the strength of Rainswamp!”

She transformed into a streak of light and chased after him.

The portly Grandet said with a grin, “It seems if I lose today, our club will lose all face.”

Wizard Patrick confidently replied, “Don’t worry, we won’t lose.”

“Golden Crown Mountain’s calculations have backfired.”

The two simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and chased into the laboratory.

Inside the Despair Valley Laboratory, Locke and the others once again saw the excellent representative magical plant of the Bitter Love Tree genus: the Bitterwood Tree.

Then, the scene shifted, and everyone entered the memory world of Wizard Probus.

Kent, Bella, Patrick, and Grandet were entering this memory world for the first time, and they curiously observed their surroundings.

Locke and the Baroque Witch, however, were already used to it.

At this moment, the gentle and seemingly very approachable Wizard Probus stood before them, smiling and nodding at Locke. “My friend, you’ve returned once more.”

He then turned to everyone, his expression serious, and said, “Apprentices, I’ve gathered you all here because I have a viable approach to imbuing Yunmi with mystical meaning. This is a gate to the abyss.”

Locke and the others looked in the direction his hand was pointing, and saw inside the laboratory the skeleton of an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, the fossilized skeleton protected by various supports. At the head of the skeleton was a life-sized, oval-shaped gate composed of purple energy halos.

Upon seeing this, Locke immediately understood that his idea was correct.

Historically, the wizard Probus had solved this problem using the technology of abyssal plants.

Since his idea was right, the rest would be much simpler.

Wizard Probus said, “These are the remains of an ancient creature we discovered in our laboratory 120 meters underground in the Rain Swamp. We always find many useful things inside this wizarding land’s swamp. Among the fossilized remains is a gate leading to the Abyss.”

“Through this gate, we can enter one of the Abyss’s planes—the Mirror Demon Plains.”

“I believe there must be an Abyss plant on the Mirror Demon Plains that can help us.”

Bella, the Purple Witch, was somewhat anxious. “Are you sure? Mr. Probus, how are you so certain?”

“Didn’t you give me any hints?”

Wizard Probus smiled. “Of course, I was searching for information and making judgments based on my years of experience.

My apprentice, as your skills improve, you’ll surely have the same feeling as me. We all continuously progress; we can’t stand still.”

Wizard Probus stepped into a purple abyss gate within the Tyrant’s Dragon skull.

Bella frowned, flames leaping in her crimson hair.

“What’s this? Mirror Demon Plains—although I don’t know which level of the Abyss Plane it is, the number of magical plants within an entire Abyss Plane is countless. He told me that he was certain, based on his intuition, that there must be a magical plant there that can help us?”

“Could it be that this level of memory plane requires us to find the one correct answer among millions of magical plants in a plane to pass through?”

The Purple Witch Bella pondered, “Since there must be one correct answer, then it’s a race against time to find that magical plant.”

Just as Bella was about to step into the Abyss Gate, she turned around in confusion to look at the three club members who showed no intention of moving.

She looked at the three of them strangely. “Aren’t you three going in?”

Wizard Patrick, holding a stone in his hand, said, “No need. Didn’t I say I have a secret weapon? I’ve seen the equipment inside this laboratory; it’s very complete, and the laboratory’s level is very high. I don’t need to enter the Abyss Gate to find any magical plant.”

Wizard Patrick turned and walked away.

The Scrooge wizard smiled and said, “Bella, you go in first.”

“I have my own ideas too,”

said Kent, the Tyrannosaurus Wizard, who remained rooted to the spot.

The Violet Witch Bella sneered.

“I don’t know what Patrick is thinking, but I know what you two are thinking. I just want to remind you that based on my understanding of Wizard Probus and my recent research, I’ve found his academic level to be very high. That is to say, the ideas he’s come up with after spending time in his area of expertise are the only solution in this competition.” “

And the shortcuts you’ve thought of outside the competition may not be so reliable. As a wizard of Golden Crown Mountain, Wizard Probus’s research on cloud rice has reached an incredible level. If your shortcuts work, it means that the methods you’ve come up with in a short time surpass the accumulation of Wizard Probus’s many years of research.”

“Logically speaking, this is unreasonable,”

Bella said, looking at the two. “Being able to reject seemingly feasible and tempting shortcuts

is the only path to victory. Some shortcuts look tempting, but are actually dead ends.”

The fat council member, Wizard Grandet, smiled and said, “It’s not anything else. It’s just that I think people who use other people’s theories are all garbage.”

“They don’t have anything of their own.”

“I still prefer to figure it out myself.”

The Tyrannosaurus Wizard, Kent, was brimming with confidence. He produced a stone that looked exactly like the one in Patrick’s hand, then sneered and turned to leave.

The Purple Witch, seeing Locke and the Baroque Witch enter the Abyss Gate, quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Locke, no longer concerned with the four wizards from the Mud Club, led the Baroque Witch into the Abyss Gate.

As soon as they stepped out, the head of an Abyssal Flame Demon fell at their feet, and a waterfall of blood appeared.

It was the blood of the Abyssal Flame Demon.

A demon engulfed in flames and with ram’s horns stood before Locke and the Baroque Witch. He looked down at them, then raised his demonic greatsword and turned to leave.

The Baroque Witch raised an eyebrow. “A Hell Demon?”

“Could it be—a bloody battle is taking place here?”

At this moment, the two found themselves standing in the middle of a blood-red plain.

The entire plain was stained with the blood of demons.

The mechanical army of the Hell Demons appeared on the plain, fighting fiercely against the Abyss Demons. A large mirror, unique to the Mirror Demon Plains plane, hung in the sky, reflecting the land of this plane, within which lay the true palace of the Mirror Clan.

Locke saw that within that celestial land, there were also Mirror Demons, locked in battle with the Hellfire Mechanical Legion of the Hell Demons.

The Hell Demons wore Hellfire Steam Armor, wielded Hellfire Steam Mechanical Greatswords, and led Hellfire Steam-Driven Mechanical War Dogs. They also possessed Hellfire Steam Mechanical Hell Cities as strategic fortresses, launching a full-scale invasion of this plane.

The Witch Bailouluo raised an eyebrow and said, “Could it be that behind this passage lies the real Mirror Demon Plains? And an Eternal Blood War is taking place here?” Locke

discovered that in this plane, the normal land was inhabited by hordes of ordinary Abyss Demons, while only the land within the mirror in the sky was inhabited by Mirror Demons. These Mirror Demons had many mirrors affixed to their chests, each with a different shape and style.

Locke, through the Water Hyacinth System, discovered that so-called Mirror Demons are a special kind of demon race that lives inside mirrors.

In the past, many cases of Mirror Demons had appeared in the wizarding world, but for some reason, their appearances became increasingly rare.

Mirror Demons can appear in any mirror; any mirror can be invaded by them. They appear in mirrors, mimicking the person’s appearance and pretending to be that person’s dark side, using words to guide that person to unleash their own dark side. However, they are neither a reflection nor a dark side of that person.

They are simply independent demons,

beings that enjoy driving people mad with words.

The witch Bailouluo said, “If an eternal blood war breaks out here, won’t we be dragged into the war?”

Locke replied, “It won’t affect us. Didn’t you see? That hellish demon race has no interest in us at all. Although I don’t know why, they seem only interested in hunting these abyssal demons.”

The witch Bailouluo frowned; as a wizard of the summoning school, this was quite related to her field of research.

“I previously conducted research on abyssal creatures for a while, and also on hellish creatures for a period of time. Both are popular research areas within the Summoning School.” “

But this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. Strange, why aren’t the hellish demons interested in us?”

“What’s this mechanism?”

“Ah, it’s that Purple Witch Bella. She’s in too. Locke, what do we do now? Are we really going to spend this whole world searching for a single herb?”

Locke looked at the witch Bailouluo strangely.

“We’re basically repeating the research of the wizard Probus in the past. What else can we do?”

The witch Bailouluo pursed her lips.

“No, it’s nothing. It’s just that working with you breeders is a bit strange. How should I put it, in such a vast world, searching for a roadside weed that might not even be noticeable. Heh—we summoning wizards at least study more conspicuous animals, and we interact with them more.”

“I wonder how long it took Wizard Probus this time?”

The next moment, an hourglass for counting down appeared beside Locke and the witch Bailouluo’s shoulders. Locke glanced at the time on it—it was—17 days.

The witch Bailouluo raised an eyebrow, gave a wry smile, and then turned to look at the sea of blood covering the mountains and the wild grass everywhere.

“Find a special, almost destiny-ordained roadside weed within 17 days?”

“No, considering the cultivation time, it’s very likely it won’t even reach 17 days. Doesn’t the Wizard of Probus have any hints for us?”
