Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 714

Chapter 711 Entering the Mind Network Access Space

Actually, Wizard Smith’s timing was impeccable.

He seized the crucial moment during Locke and Wizard Edgar’s clash of ultimate magic, the brief window of opportunity for Locke to recover his magic pressure.

As a high-ranking member of the Storm Tower, he possessed considerable knowledge of ultimate magic, allowing him to accurately assess Locke’s current state and approximate power limits.

He knew Locke was currently the most powerful being in this plane, possessing 16,000 magic pressure, three ultimate magic runes, and the ability to instantly summon two first-ring crystallization stage assistants.

These gave Locke a significant advantage.

However, he also knew that since the second-ring initial-forging ultimate magic had just been completed, it was in its first forging stage, the [unforged stage].

At this point, the energy dissipation and separation of ultimate magic were too high, resulting in a relatively low instantaneous magic pressure output multiplier. Therefore, Locke’s ultimate magic attack, regardless of his resources, total magic pressure, ultimate magic runes, or assistants, would cause him temporary exhaustion.

Therefore, he immediately seized this opportunity, unleashing the full power of the Celestial Meteor Ultimate Magic, directly attacking Locke.

What Wizard Smith hadn’t anticipated was the perfect synergy between the Kingdom Domain and the Moon of Evolution.

1+1 was greater than 2.

He estimated Locke would need at least a minute to recover his total magic pressure, a minute that would be enough for him to seize an opportunity to inflict a heavy loss on Locke. However,

he hadn’t expected that Locke’s Moon of Evolution would recover its magic pressure in the blink of an eye. Even more unexpectedly, Locke had already deduced his thoughts and actions from the energy dissipation of his extraterrestrial meteor.

Behind Wizard Smith, in the extraterrestrial meteor plane cluster, meteors flashed. Following the meteorite that had transported the Astral Beast—the Second Ring Astral Insect King—thousands of meteorites fell. Each smaller meteorite carried an insect, all of them Astral Insects at the limit of the magic pressure level of a First-Class Wizard Apprentice.

Smith was only an ordinary Second Ring Wizard, so he could barely summon one Second Ring Astral Insect at full power; the rest were only Apprentice level.

The astral insect king’s full name is the [Tivora Tyrant Insect], a second-ring king of the planet-devouring insect swarm in the astral plane.

Its entire body is covered in a deep-space blue chitinous exoskeleton, lacking eyes, but eight star-core crystals are embedded in its forehead, capable of refracting light.

It resembles a weaponized beetle, with wings spread on its back displaying a semi-transparent projection of the constellation Worms.

This Tivora Tyrant Insect is not actually controlled by the extraterrestrial meteor, because the extraterrestrial meteor is a meteorite magic spell, not an insect magic spell, and therefore cannot control this insect king sent down from the astral plane by Wizard Smith.

This spell is more like dropping a dangerous disaster from the astral plane with a meteor and then ignoring it.

However, Wizard Smith added a large amount of magic runes to the starlight projection, using the starlight projection to enhance part of the extraterrestrial meteor’s control over these sent astral behemoths. Therefore, at this moment, the Tivora Tyrant Insect is constantly enveloped in a ball of starlight.

This is Wizard Smith’s indirect control over it. He indirectly

influenced the Insect King’s actions by using starlight to lure it.

But frankly, he couldn’t control this second-ring level being, whose magical pressure was no lower than his own.

He sent the Insect King down only to disrupt things, to break Locke’s current dominance in the Silent Plane.

But this was exactly the moment Locke had been waiting for.

Locke flipped his left hand, using Evolution Moon for the second time. “Smith, your Celestial Meteor has a huge flaw.”

At this moment, Locke, maintaining the state of [Doing as He Pleases Without Overstepping the Boundaries], was essentially having the world’s will of the Silent Plane constantly helping him think, so his thinking was clear, his actions powerful, and his plans flawless.

This was the world’s reward to him.

For a long time, his intelligence, comprehension, memory, and logical abilities had all been greatly enhanced.

This state was extremely valuable to him.

And after entering this state, Locke could see the flaw of the Celestial Meteor even more clearly.

Wizard Smith was stunned. “My Celestial Meteor has a flaw?”

His eyes were filled with fear and panic. “What flaw?”

The next moment, Locke’s Moon of Evolution rolled forward, flipped, and the Moon Plant – Golden Palace Remnant Branch transformed into a crossbow, then a beam of moonlight fell into it.

‘Bang!’

The collision of the two powerful spells shook the heavens and earth, and all things panicked.

Wizard Smith’s eyes were strange. Locke’s powerful magic was extremely suppressive to magical plants, which was why Wizard Edgar was so easily suppressed.

Otherwise, the difference between two newly forged second-ring wizards wouldn’t be so great.

But the moonlight of the Moon of Evolution should be ineffective against his swarm of insects and the meteor from outer space.

Because these were not plants at all.

However, as Locke’s moonlight rushed into the dark, universe-like space inside the meteor from outer space, Locke’s moon hung like a bright mirror within the meteor from outer

space. The Moon of Evolution can reflect the past and present; where the moonlight is, the full moon can manifest.

At this moment, Locke’s moon entered the meteor from outer space, forcibly coexisting with it.

But that wasn’t all. At this moment, the celestial meteor also opened a space—the passage connecting the celestial meteor to the astral plane!

Locke’s moonlight shone into that passage, and Locke’s moon appeared within it.

Thus, the Moon of Evolution illuminated the entire celestial meteor, both inside and out.

Locke took a breath, and the Moon of Evolution once again passed through the Dharma Realm, collecting the energy fragments of the collective consciousness of all the tree people in the Dharma Realm, restoring its magical pressure.

This time, the Moon of Evolution hung above the passage between the celestial meteor and the astral plane.

Wizard Smith’s expression changed drastically. “Damn it!”

“It’s too late to close the passage. You’re going to destroy my ultimate magic!”

“Beast!”

At this moment, the Moon of Evolution hanging in the passage flipped. Locke used the ultimate magic, Moon of Evolution, for the third time. The full moon rolled, revealing its dark side. At this moment, a branch of the Golden Remnant fell, then the Golden Remnant transformed into a bow, and the branch automatically became a tree branch spear. The bow

was drawn.

Peach Bow Thorn Arrow!

This was only a first-level spell, but amplified on a massive scale by a great magic spell, it directly attacked the most vulnerable passage at this moment.

A tree branch spear shot out, instantly piercing into the depths of the astral plane.

Even the starlight of the Holy Dragon Star appeared deep within the Astral Plane in response.

In an instant, Locke’s destruction of his Astral Meteor and the portal to the Astral Plane triggered a chain reaction.

Wizard Smith screamed in agony as his magical pressure instantly became chaotic!

A Grand Magic spell is the source of a second-circle wizard’s magic; with this source severely damaged, his magical pressure naturally couldn’t be normal. Grand

Magic is inherently more robust than a wizard’s, but Locke seized the moment when Wizard Smith used Astral Meteor to open the portal to the Astral Plane and attacked directly at it.

As a result, the energy dissipation of Astral Meteor instantly increased to its maximum.

Within Astral Meteor, stars shifted and repositioned, churning wildly within.

And because the Astral Plane portal was destroyed, the Astral Beasts could no longer be sent into this world, becoming trapped within it.

Thus, Astral Meteor could no longer reduce its energy dissipation by dumping garbage onto Earth.

It was also impossible to replenish energy through the astral plane or to infuse energy from the outside to reduce energy dissipation.

Moreover, the celestial meteor had lost its energy source, so naturally, even without doing anything, its energy dissipation would gradually increase.

Either the entire celestial meteor would explode in an instant, or it would disintegrate in an instant.

If this were outside, Wizard Smith would already be dead!

Wizard Smith’s mind went blank as he looked at the celestial meteor behind him.

What should he do?

Who could help him stabilize his magical pressure and reduce the energy dissipation of his ultimate magic?

What knowledge could help him!

Regarding knowledge of ultimate magic at the second level, whether it was Locke, himself, or Edgar, they were all still in the exploratory stage of seeking knowledge.

At this critical moment of life and death, after much contemplation, an idea suddenly popped into Wizard Smith’s mind.

Although he didn’t understand the Kingdom Domain, he knew that Locke’s world-class magic realm was located above three-dimensional spatial coordinates plus a one-dimensional spiritual dimension.

The demiplane group of the Great Magic: Celestial Meteor belongs to the pseudo-astronomical plane, meaning it also exists on three-dimensional spatial coordinates plus a one-dimensional spiritual dimension.

However, its phase differs from Locke’s Dharma Realm.

If Locke’s world-level Dharma Realm is on the negative axis of the spiritual axis, then his Celestial Meteor demiplane group is on the positive axis.

This world, however, is located at the zero point of the spiritual axis.

This is because only the prime material plane exists on three-dimensional spatial coordinates plus one-dimensional time, while the world itself is a higher-dimensional existence.

Just as the astral plane is not four-dimensional.

Therefore, his Great Magic in this world is merely a clumsy imitation of the astral plane.

‘If I suspend my Great Magic within that Dharma Realm, I can create a positive-negative balance on the spiritual axis…’ Wizard Smith pondered, ‘In this way, perhaps I can use the Dharma Realm to maintain the stability of my Celestial Meteor.’

‘But in that case, I’ll essentially become a laborer working for his assets! You beast! You destroyed my assets, and you still want to force me to work for you.’

Wizard Smith gritted his teeth. He

absolutely wouldn’t consider entering the Law Realm unless absolutely necessary.

In his eyes, Locke was forcing him to enter the Law Realm because it was full of traps and pitfalls.

If he went in, would he survive?

Wizard Smith’s expression changed repeatedly. He had no choice but to use the backup plan that the witch Medea had found for him.

At the same time, the combined attack of Edgar and Wizard Smith was neutralized by Locke in the blink of an eye.

Relying on his current size advantage, coupled with the dual advantages of the Great Magic and the Kingdom Domain, Locke used Great Magic three times in a row. Each time, the Kingdom Domain restored his total magic pressure in a single breath.

As long as the energy on the Kingdom Domain didn’t run out, it would be difficult for his own to run out.

And the Kingdom Domain was fed by the spirituality of the entire world, which gave him an extremely strong endurance.

This was the biggest reason why he could currently overpower everyone.

Otherwise, with the Great Magic of the Initial Forging stage, which was extremely restrictive, it would be quite difficult to fight three people at once.

Locke looked at the Emperor. The Emperor had intended to strike first while Edgar and Smith were fighting Locke, but he found Locke constantly on his guard. Furthermore, due to the collapse of his mental network, his abilities had greatly diminished, making it impossible for him to find an opportunity.

The Emperor saw Locke approaching and a voice came from beneath his armor. “Traitor, those two people from the Otherworld have already told me. I also know you will attack me because I am currently your creditor, isn’t that right?”

“You leveraged me a hundredfold, borrowing money from me. Although my mental kingdom and empire have been emptied by your loans, I am still your creditor. You still owe me money!”

“This is where you are most likely to fail, so you’re targeting me. Right now, I am your weakness!”

Locke smiled. “Indeed. However, your empire and mental network can no longer be maintained.”

“If this continues, the mental network will collapse, and your mental light will be extinguished. You must find someone to help you maintain the mental network.”

“Otherwise, you will die.”

Locke looked at him coldly and said, “If you die, the debt I owe you will naturally be cleared. Therefore, there is no such thing as you being my weakness.”

The emperor’s expression changed slightly.

Locke said, “You should have already realized this. No matter how long you delay, no matter what methods you use to find power in this world to maintain your mental network, it will be useless.”

“Because this world has already been emptied by me.”

“You only have two choices left. First, enter the Dharma Realm, where there is still a place in this world that has not been emptied. You might find a solution there.”

“Second…” Locke revealed his true intentions. “You open the mental network’s access, allowing my moon to enter as the sect leader.”

“At this moment, I am the only person in the world who can provide your mental network with the energy to continue its existence.”

As long as he does this, he will essentially acquire his creditor.

In this way, the debt naturally disappears.

Vanished without a trace!

Locke looked at the Emperor, directly opening the gate to the Dharma Realm, making it seem as if inviting him into a trap. “Choose one, Your Majesty.” “Of

course, if you can defeat me and force me to repay the debt, then you can try. Wasn’t that your plan before?”

The Emperor’s expression beneath his armor changed drastically.

Most people would already be considering entering the Dharma Realm by now, but he was pondering why Locke had repeatedly asked them to enter.

Moreover, Georgina, who had entered the Dharma Realm before, had shown no reaction whatsoever.

There must be a big problem!

The Emperor thought: ‘That world must be completely under his control. If I go in, I will be completely controlled by him. But if I open the Mind Network and let him enter, I can still retain a certain position based on my authority within the Mind Network.’

‘So, it seems more appropriate for me to let him enter the Mind Network.’

Locke smiled, because the Emperor had opened the Mind Network to him.

In fact, he was lying to the Emperor.

Even if the Mind Network disappeared, the creditor would not disappear.

Originally, the creditor was the emperor, so once the emperor died, the creditor would cease to exist. Since

his creditor wasn’t the Mind Network, but the emperor, anyone who absorbed the Mind Network would only still need to pay the Dharma Realm.

This was because everything in this world, under the guidance of the World Will, prioritized providing spiritual resources to the Dharma Realm.

But the emperor was the creditor; if he died, his creditor would truly be gone.

However, at this moment, due to the wizard Edgar’s ultimate magic, the Shadow Fern, a variable had arisen.

If the emperor’s spiritual essence was taken by the Shadow Fern, causing the emperor to reincarnate as a plant spirit, becoming a magical plant, then… his creditor would become Edgar.

Locke looked at Edgar.

He had to be wary of this move.

From beginning to end, his main enemy had been him; Smith was no longer a threat, only Edgar possessed something he couldn’t understand.

But both of their ultimate magics were collapsing because the Permanent Defense Field had been upgraded to level two, which was why he couldn’t quickly expel them directly.

Furthermore, both of them are currently using Saintly Incarnations, so killing them would be pointless. Therefore, Locke only needs to cause their ultimate magic to collapse, automatically winning the match.

There’s no need to go to the crystal wall system of the Prime Material Plane; he can directly attack their true forms.

But if everything goes smoothly, these two will soon be knocked out of this plane.

The wizard Edgar is dealing with the Eight-Buddha Claw Vine inside his Shadow Fern. The Eight-Buddha Claw Vine is on fire, spontaneously combusting due to the No. 2 Tyrant Element.

Edgar is using the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method, summoning a magical sun to stimulate the Eight-Buddha Claw Vine’s vitality and help it adapt to the toxicity of the No. 2 Tyrant Element.

‘Although the No. 2 Tyrant Element is only a natural magical structural component extracted from a first-ring magical plant, it’s now being injected into my second-ring magical plant by that moonlight, causing every cell inside to undergo a Tyrant reaction.’

‘Even a second-ring magical plant can’t withstand this.’ “The injection was too large, so my Eight Buddha Claw Vine is currently on the verge of death,” thought the wizard Edgar.

“The best solution is to inject the cell conjugate of Tyrant Essence No. 2.” Edgar’s eyes flickered.

“To directly transform my Eight Buddha Claw Vine into Tyrant Essence.”

“But right now, in the midst of battle, even as a breeder, I can’t create a cell conjugate targeting Tyrant Essence No. 2 in a short time.”

The wizard Edgar sighed, left the Land of All Spirits, and returned to the present world of the Silent Dimension. He immediately saw the Emperor, who had opened full access to the Mind Network to Locke.

He frowned. “Damn Locke, he’s so calculating.”

He had long known that the Emperor didn’t have much power left, and even if he were to win him over, it wouldn’t be of much use to their alliance.

The reason he still tried to win over the Emperor was to use him to scheme against Locke and turn the tables on him.

Or rather, even his alliance with Wizard Smith was a trivial matter.

Because Locke currently possesses the highest total magical pressure in the entire arena, even if he can’t eliminate the two of them as quickly as before, he can still wear them down with his high health.

Therefore, it’s just a matter of whether Locke’s victory looks good.

His real plan in rallying the three to join forces was to force Locke to kill the Emperor, exploiting Locke’s eagerness to eliminate his creditor and forcing him to eliminate his own creditor, thus removing his last weakness.

The instant he killed the Emperor, he would use the Eight Buddha Claws vines to absorb the Emperor’s life force, which would then envelop his spiritual essence, pulling him along.

Then, he would immediately arrange for the Emperor’s reincarnation, allowing his own Land of Ten Thousand Spirits to become Locke’s creditor.

And because he didn’t use the mental network, although he was Locke’s creditor, he wouldn’t need to pay Locke a corresponding amount of spiritual energy.

He could also maintain certain advantages in the battle against Locke by virtue of his creditor status.

But he didn’t expect Locke to have anticipated this move and directly blocked it.

The wizard Edgar felt that the match had become a game of chess.

You make a move, I make a move.

Whoever anticipates the opponent’s strategy first and prepares accordingly will win.

Edgar frowned. He realized that even standing before Locke, Locke didn’t attack him, but instead waited for his Land of All Spirits to collapse on its own, and was quickly absorbing the Emperor’s mental network.

Edgar’s heart sank.

The situation was developing in the worst possible direction. Locke hadn’t acted as he expected, directly attacking him.

Had the other guessed something?

‘It’s always been like this.’

‘Locke’s intuition was also very sharp during the Cloud Cup.’

‘It must be his intuition that made him sense the anomaly, so he avoided a direct confrontation with me.’ The wizard Edgar was anxious. ‘If nothing changes, this match will be over.’

‘As long as Locke attacks me, I can turn the tables.’

The next moment, Locke grabbed the Emperor, took him into the inner access space of the mental network, and disappeared from the mortal world.

The wizard Edgar’s heart sank again.

After the emergence of a world-class magic realm, the importance of his Land of All Spirits to the Silent Plane had greatly diminished, to the point of being negligible.

The Silent Plane even intended for the magic realm to merge with his Land of All Spirits.

At this moment, that magic realm was squeezing the Shadow Fern space, and coupled with Locke’s injection of a large amount of Tyrant Essence No. 2 into the magical vines of his Land of All Spirits, his ultimate magic was rapidly collapsing.

Before entering the mental network, Locke glanced sideways at Edgar. ‘I originally wanted to use the Moon of Evolution to suspend myself into the Land of All Spirits and seize partial control of the Land of All Spirits and the Shadow Fern.’ ‘

I could push the Land of All Spirits to merge with my magic realm, and then use the Moon of Evolution to control this area, thereby indirectly controlling another ultimate magic.’

‘But my super intuition suddenly warned me.’

‘So, I’d better do nothing and wait for the two of them to perish on their own. As for Smith… his Meteor from Beyond the Heavens is already collapsing, and his true form hasn’t descended yet; killing him now would only be killing a Saint’s incarnation.’ ‘

Besides, he seems capable of going insane.’ I’m not playing with him anymore. Unless he actively enters the Dharma Realm, he has no way to stabilize his Celestial Meteor.

Locke’s Evolution Moon is constantly suspended within his Celestial Meteor, essentially locking him in place.

Moreover, the Peach Blossom Thorn Arrow used by the Evolution Moon carries the light of the Divine Dragon Star, which is a power of change and instability.

This increases the energy dissipation of the Celestial Meteor.

Essentially, the Dark Side of the Moon is an alternative, extremely powerful magic rune, essentially giving him an extra extremely powerful magic rune compared to others.

In the ordinary second-ring stage, this gives him a huge advantage.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to crush two wizards of the same level so soon after becoming a second-ring wizard.

In the present world, Wizard Smith saw Locke leaving. “Wait, don’t go.”

Wizard Smith gritted his teeth and then took out a soul artifact bound to his soul—a die.

Since the soul artifact is bound to the soul, his Saintly Avatar can still retrieve this artifact from his soul.

“Medea, thank you so much.”

“Thanks to you for helping me obtain this world wonder ahead of time, otherwise I really wouldn’t know what to do. After I win the championship, ask me to help you find a job; I’ll definitely find you one with generous overtime pay.”

Beneath the Silent Throne, Medea revealed a strange smile.

She looked at the second-ring wizards of the Smith family around her and immediately bowed her head with a smile, “Thank you, Lord Smith.”

“I do indeed lack such a job.”

“Then, wizards hired by Wizard Smith, the game shall begin. Who will be the first?”
