Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 731

Chapter 728 The Primitive Magical Plants of the World and the Manifest Destiny

Destiny of the World The Natural Force Plane, one of the worlds possessing the most powerful natural force within the endless void.

This time, Locke once again entered this world as the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, and walked through this forest path in the form of the [Nature Avatar].

This was a special forest path; not only were there trees on both sides of him, but also trees under his feet—different kinds of trees.

Each type of tree formed different heights, thus creating steps.

Locke’s pupils narrowed slightly.

This is…

He looked around and realized that when he came to the Natural Force Plane during his first-ring and apprentice stages, he couldn’t see its true face at all.

In the past, during his apprentice stage, when Locke first came to this world as a Nature Guardian, in his eyes, it was nothing more than a world with an exceptionally dense forest and an infinitely powerful World Tree.

When he became a first-ring wizard, in his eyes, the Plane of Natural Forces was a world with incredible magical pressure. This Plane of Natural Forces constantly radiated natural force outwards, transforming it into gravitational waves that swept across the endless void, causing distortions and converging back towards the plane,

fulfilling its creative duty.

It was during that time, as part of the benefits given to first-ring wizards by high-ring wizards, that he was fortunate enough to encounter a rare creature from the void—a Void behemoth that fed on the plane’s core. From a single feather of this Void behemoth, he conceived the precursor to his great magical evolution, the Moon of Evolution—Full Moon Growth.

But this time, Locke returned to this Plane of Natural Forces and discovered that he had been wrong all along!

Terribly wrong!

Absolutely wrong!

He had never truly understood the Plane of Natural Forces. But after breaking through the limits of his soul and becoming a multiple transcendent being, he saw for the first time just a glimpse of this magnificent world of Natural Forces.

The forest beneath his feet was not a two-dimensional plane, but a four-dimensional structure.

Above the canopy, there was still soil; above the canopy, there was a forest; within the forest, there were giant trees; and above the giant trees, there were forests.

Overlapping and combined, they formed a vast forest world!

The World Tree wasn’t simply the largest tree in a forest, but rather a tree with a forest above its canopy, giant trees within the forest, and forests above the giant trees—a complex, overlapping structure.

The forest beneath his feet was only a small part of the World Tree.

Previously, because his magical pressure was too weak and his soul level too low, he could only appear within a section of the World Tree’s forest. Upon entering that forest, he mistakenly believed the largest tree within was the World Tree.

In reality, every tree in that forest was a World Tree!

Locke climbed the varying canopy steps created by the different tree heights, ascending steadily.

At the very top of the canopy steps stood the largest tree.

‘Incredible,’ Locke mused. ‘The World Tree is a natural force plane. Its size is unbelievably vast; I don’t even know how big it is. And this is only what I, as a second-circle wizard, have seen of the natural force plane.’ I can’t even see the entire Force plane in this state because my magic pressure isn’t high enough! ‘

The higher you stand, the farther you can see. ‘

Locke realized that only by continuously increasing his magic pressure at the second ring stage could he see more of the World Tree’s full picture and possibly see the Force plane in this state clearly.

Everything is related to the intensity of his magic pressure, which is to say, to his position.

But it’s only limited to the Force plane in this state!

‘The World Tree in this state is like a forest on a tree, and a tree on a forest. This structure is incredibly vast; the area of a medium-sized plane seems to be just an ordinary small forest within this structure.’

‘And within this structure, there are countless such small forests. Even a powerful second-ring wizard standing here is nothing more than an ant.’

Locke pondered: ‘The forests seem boundless, possessing an infinite number. Wait… this exhibits the characteristics of the second ring. ‘That is…

the second ring possesses the special phenomenon of being able to open countless levels.’

Locke drew two azure arcane energy halos in the air with his fingers, each a perfect circle.

He suddenly connected the two halos, forming an infinity symbol (‘∞’).

“The so-called second ring signifies infinity. Within this magical realm, one can unlock infinite magical levels. It’s an infinite level!”

“Then what’s the difference between the third and second rings?”

A question flashed in Locke’s eyes.

From the manifestation of the Force of Nature before him, he realized the true meaning of the second ring level.

At the same time, a question arose in his mind: if one could unlock an infinite number of levels within the second ring system, then theoretically, to increase power, one only needed to stay within the second ring system to infinitely increase one’s strength. It seemed that

within the infinite void, within the second ring system, many gods, demons, and god-emperors already reigned supreme.

Why did the wizarding civilization choose to transcend the second ring and find the path to the third ring?

This was something that had already been accomplished during the Age of Stars.

Based on his experience entering the Historic Landmark Curse last time, King Otto possessed power comparable to his teacher, the witch Catherine.

His teacher was the most promising fourth-ring wizard on Mount Golden Crown.

Therefore, King Otto, who nearly unified the wizarding world, was essentially very close to becoming a fourth-ring wizard.

The wizarding world had already surpassed the second ring framework during the Age of Stars.

But from his current understanding, the second ring clearly represented a level of limitless power, capable of continuous ascent.

If he hadn’t been born into the wizarding world, this alone would have been enough to lead him astray, constantly unlocking new levels and increasing his power within the second ring framework.

But the three-ring system of wizarding civilization clearly told all subsequent wizards that infinitely increasing power within the second ring framework would not result in a third transcendence of the soul!

Where was the problem?

A question flashed in Locke’s eyes.

He could only think about this later.

After all, the difference between levels within the second ring was enormous.

Let’s be realistic. Just climbing the ranks within the second ring road requires enormous resources, talent, hard work, perseverance, and a bit of luck.

Some of it depends on your own efforts.

Locke had already realized that as he became a second-ring cultivator, the resources required to increase his mental strength by even a single point would be astronomical.

As Locke ascended the steps, a voice appeared in his ear.

‘Finally, the three-eyed one, you have finally found your symbiotic magical plant.’

These words sent a storm through Locke’s mind. He quickly understood why he had suddenly gathered the key to advancing the Three-Eyed Tiger Cats to the second ring.

First, his Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline needed to be illuminated by Little Lion Star.

He had already obtained this from the Night Meteor given to Golden Crown Mountain during the retreat from the Twin Demon Realms.

Next was the second point:

the symbiotic magical plant!

In the ancient wizarding world, magical plants and magical creatures formed a symbiotic relationship, with many special magical plants requiring specific magical creatures for cultivation.

The Three-Eyed Tiger Cat clan likely cultivated certain key magical plants that formed a symbiotic relationship with them.

Locke, through organizing his existing information, envisioned a scene: a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat carrying a magical plant, digging a hole in the ground with its paws, placing the seedling or seed into the hole, and then burying it with its paws.

Over time, the magical plant would finally develop into a mature magical plant!

Then, the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat became the King of Cats!

It became a rare second-ring individual within its species!

Clearly, for a Three-Eyed Tiger Cat to become a second-ring creature, it needed three things: the blessing of Little Leo, sufficient accumulation of its own bloodline power, and the cultivation of a second-ring magical plant.

Presumably, this second-ring magical plant was one that formed a specific symbiotic relationship with the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat. Once it matured, its fruit should have enabled the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat to become a second-ring creature.

Now the facts were clear.

Locke pondered that as a wizard, he naturally didn’t need to cultivate any specific symbiotic magical plant for the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat. As a breeder, he had unintentionally used the Evolution Moon to evolve a first-ring magical plant into a second-ring magical plant.

Essentially, this could be considered as him, as the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat, cultivating a second-ring magical plant.

And as a wizard, his soul had already become a second-ring wizard, surpassing the limits of his species’ soul for the second time, so the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat’s racial bloodline barrier had disappeared.

Furthermore, having already received the starlight from Leo, he could have already raised his bloodline power to the second ring after evolving a second-ring magical plant using the Moon of Evolution.

In fact, during his battle with the witch Georgina, pushing all his power to the limit to fight her, his bloodline power did indeed involuntarily reach the second ring level.

Thus, from the perspective of the Force of Nature plane, it appeared as a three-eyed tiger-eyed cat, a guardian of nature, who, after receiving the starlight from Leo, finally became a second-ring cat king by cultivating a companion magical plant of an unknown species.

But in reality, it was he, a second-ring breeder, who, through the Moon of Evolution, completed the evolution from a first-ring to a second-ring magical plant.

At this moment, Locke took out a mirror from his astral ring, looked down, and saw a tiger’s eye appear on his forehead, crackling with electricity.

After the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat’s bloodline evolved to the second ring level, all its pupil magic powers received a fundamental upgrade, and the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline itself reached a power of ten thousand magic pressure.

Of course, Locke estimated that if his own wizard’s ultimate magic disappeared, his bloodline would immediately fall as well, since it relied on his status as a second-ring wizard.

Locke thought, “That’s fine too.”

At this moment, within his sea of consciousness, the star representing the permanent defensive force field was Jupiter, the power of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline was Mars, the star representing abyssal energy was Saturn, and the sun represented his will.

Ultimate magic, on the other hand, was located outside the star system.

At this moment, Mars emitted dazzling starlight, indicating that the power of the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline was rapidly increasing.

This further enhanced his affinity for ultimate magic.

Because the bloodline power was an enhancement of his own power, it could actually pull the celestial bodies symbolized by ultimate magic outside the star system towards the star cluster representing his consciousness, strengthening his control over ultimate magic and further reducing energy dissipation.

Therefore, even disregarding the enhancement of his physical body by the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat bloodline, the resulting eye techniques, and the accompanying favor of the Natural Force plane, the mere fact that this ancient creature bloodline boosted his ultimate magic was already quite remarkable.

This could reduce the dissipation of his ultimate magic to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, another symbol of a second-circle wizard, the second-circle version of the Permanent Defense Field, required a certain amount of time to materialize. At this moment, the Permanent Defense Fields on the surfaces of his body and his ultimate magic were rapidly merging.

Locke stood before the World Tree (the largest tree here), placing his palm on the surface of its trunk, and then a surge of natural power entered his body.

The world will of the Natural Force plane descended. ‘Three-Eyed, fulfill your duty of guarding.’

‘I will bestow upon you the true power of a Type I Nature Guardian.’

Locke immediately understood one thing: there must be a Nature Guardian among the Three-Eyed Tiger Cat clan, but this was a second-circle level one.

Because he was the only wizard in the world to have obtained the Three-Eyed Tiger-Eyed Cat bloodline, the Natural Force Plane, after a simple test and deeming him a suitable candidate, directly bestowed upon him the Type I Nature Guardian status of the Three-Eyed Tiger-Eyed Cat clan.

However, that actually lowered the barrier to entry.

Normally, one must first become a second-ring Three-Eyed Tiger-Eyed Cat before obtaining the Type I Nature Guardian status.

But the situation was reversed.

And now, he finally possessed the complete Beast Panel!

‘Regardless of my level in the second ring, it can add 3000 magic pressure to my base level. This is the true power of the Beast Panel.’

Locke exclaimed in amazement.

For a second-ring wizard, an increase of 3000 magic pressure is equivalent to adding a massive magic rune out of thin air.

Not to mention, the panel also increased the magic pressure cap by 3000.

This improvement was enormous.

At the same time, Locke noticed something else: his second-ring Sea Gold Sand had also entered this world and was being infused with Natural Force by the Natural Force Plane.

The Natural Force Plane said: ‘The Three-Eyed One, the companion magical plant of a Type I Nature Guardian, will contain specific world forces, transforming into a primordial magical plant, representing specific natural power, signifying that you and nature are united to a certain degree and in a certain direction, becoming one.’

‘This nature is not the nature of a single plane in a narrow sense, but the nature of the endless void in a broad sense.’

‘This is the manifest destiny bestowed upon you by the Natural Force Plane.’

Locke was stunned.

It was unbelievable.

Therefore, the first second-circle magical plant he evolves upon becoming a second-circle wizard will inevitably become a primordial magical plant of the world, representing a specific natural force, due to his status as a guardian of nature.

Sea Gold Sand, Sea Gold Sand, you should thank me!

Wait.

Locke seemed to realize something, lost in thought. “Nature’s embodiment, merging into one…”
