Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 839

Chapter 836 Reflections on the Second Great Magic and the Sunny Sky Witchstone

Locke stroked Jack’s face, and a primordial fire appeared, spreading across Jack’s body. His injuries rapidly disappeared under the effects of the reverse potion refining technique. Both his body and soul were restored to their original state after being burned by the primordial fire according to the refining method.

However, Jack remained unconscious, clearly exhausted from the previous all-out battle, and had not yet recovered.

Locke guessed that it was a crucial component of the soul, something consumed in the Abyss of the Mind,

or perhaps a problem with some deeper aspect of the soul’s internal structure.

Of course, now, through the refining method, he had extracted Jack’s spirituality, restored it all at once, and then converted it back to its original state. It was equivalent to shutting down and restarting a computer, so Jack was now out of danger and would just need to sleep.

The two dark wizards’ saintly avatars not far away were caught in an awkward situation, afraid to attack but unsure where to escape.

One of the dark wizards’ saintly avatars tried to invoke the name of the Pale Pilgrimage.

“We are the wizards of the Pale Pilgrimage, you cannot…”

The next moment, a gaping hole was torn in his saintly avatar. A verdant fern spear, formed from two-ringed sea gold sand, completely pierced his upper body, ignoring the Blood Ancestor’s true form’s defense and regenerative abilities, tearing him to shreds in an instant. The

energy of the two-ringed fern spear combined with the concentrated energy of the World Leaf!

A verdant leaf ring adorned the crystal-clear emerald fern spear.

The last black wizard’s saintly avatar roared.

“No!”

His Blood Ancestor true form clasped his hands together, grasping the two-ringed fern spear, which remained in its concentrated energy state, trying to stop it from approaching. The spear still pierced his abdomen.

He was clearly the most powerful of the three black wizards.

At this moment, he chanted a spell, and the blood and filth scattered in the air and on the ground from the shattered Blood Ancestor true forms of the previous two black wizards began to converge towards him.

Blood tentacles lashed around him, coiling around his body like octopus tentacles grasping at people. The Holy Blood Sacrifice offered him the full power of the bloodlines of the two Blood Ancestor Saint incarnations, strengthening his own Saint incarnation.

In the year-and-two-week battle on the Heidelberg plane, he was the ultimate victor in the infighting. He had laid the most traps within the chain of suspicion and infighting among the three dark wizards, and after Locke defeated the two, he effectively seized a portion of their power to strengthen himself.

Unfortunately, before this, Locke had already depleted most of the three’s total magical pressure and intensity.

Therefore, even so, he could only exert the normal level expected of a second-circle wizard with 10,000 magical pressure.

The dark wizard’s vampire ancestor form was covered in blood and filth. He was nearly biting off his fangs, his body arched, even the three pairs of bat wings on his back were vibrating violently, his feet were floating in mid-air, and magical models appeared behind his feet, trying to stop his retreat.

One magical artifact after another shattered on his hands and body. At

the summit of Bright Peak, a crack appeared in the stone cup at the center of one of the three Life Stealing Instruments, and natural magical power leaked out from the crack.

Then, with a miserable scream, the dark wizard’s stone cup shattered completely.

In an instant, his saintly avatar, along with his Life Stealing Instrument, was completely destroyed.

His saintly avatar was pierced through the body by the two-ringed fern spear, then his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body turned into a blur, a speck of dust, which was blown away by the wind and dissipated into fragments, disappearing into the world.

The surface of the Two-Ring Fern Spear shimmered with emerald light, the power of the forest emanating from the Rangers wielding the Leaves of Power, superimposed upon the spear.

This was, in effect, a resource optimization.

Even Locke couldn’t efficiently utilize the power of the Forest Sanctuary, but these Rangers had deepened his connection with the Forest Sanctuary and the Great Magic.

It was essentially an internal resource transfer of his own power.

Locke took a step forward; his Saintly Avatar automatically disintegrated, reappearing atop Mount Bright, where he looked at the two remaining Celestial Instruments of Life.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Two-Ring Fern Spear descended, transforming into a bolt of lightning that destroyed one ritual center and shattered the stone goblet.

Then, he looked at the final ritual.

Blood flowed within the ritual center, forming a face composed of pooled blood.

“Blind Wizard, wait. If you disrupt this ritual, you will destroy my immortality.”

“A trade, yes, we can make a trade. Don’t you white wizards all like to make deals?”

“What do you want…”

‘Bang!’

The next moment, the ritual shattered abruptly.

The giant blood-red face also collapsed, turning into a rain of blood that splattered on the ground.

Locke extracted the spirituality of the three second-ring wizards, forming a massive radiant spiritual light in the Heidelberg Plane. Then, a bronze cauldron descended from the sky, capturing them.

Spiritual energy surged within the bronze cauldron, and its surface shimmered with spiritual light. Locke spent some time crafting three portions of the Zero Potion.

This gave him eight portions of the Zero Potion.

The instant he completely killed the three black wizards, an inevitable drop in magical pressure occurred in the Heidelberg Plane, and the blood river that had appeared at the edge of the Heidelberg Plane began to recede.

The riverbed dried up, the water vanished, like a withered river.

Locke glanced at the changes in the Heidelberg Plane.

“I see. The Life-Stealing Ritual can summon a Blood River for this world; each ritual summons a tributary of the Blood River. That’s why this world initially agreed to let them perform the Life-Stealing Ritual here.”

“Now that the ritual is gone, the three Blood River tributaries will also recede. However, these Blood River tributaries were never meant to be used by the Heidelberg Plane.”

This is a serious deception.

The Blood River entering this world seems to have given it a vast river, thus attracting it, but this world will soon discover that the Blood River has absolutely no connection to it or the beings of this plane.

It cannot draw upon any power within the Blood River.

“Ah~ Ah~ Ah!”

In the receding Blood River, the water overflows, the ripples seemingly forming a giant human face, looking in the direction of Locke.

“Lock Augustine, we meet again. Powerful bloodline possessor, this time without the wizarding world’s surveillance, and you are a second-circle wizard. I can appear before you with greater precision.”

“Accept the knowledge I bestow upon you; as long as you perform the ritual to summon me here, I will lend you my power. As I promised you before, it will be an irresistible force.”

Locke glanced at it expressionlessly. The plane’s will, seemingly appearing now that the tributary of the Blood River had dried up, was now present.

“I have no interest.”

The face formed by ripples on the Blood River shattered instantly, and the receding blood waves crashed against the rocks.

“Lock Augustine, this is the second time you have rejected me. One day you will embrace the great Blood River. I am the destiny of all those with powerful bloodlines, and I will obtain the bloodline within you.”

Locke frowned, watching the Blood River completely vanish from the world.

‘What happened?’

‘Why is the Blood River so concerned about my bloodline?’

‘Or is it like this for all those with powerful bloodlines?’ Locke

said, “However, the will of the Blood River Plane is a bit too human-like. The degree of human-like nature of the will of this unique plane is unparalleled even in the endless void. Talking to me is almost like a living being speaking to me.”

Locke looked at the eight portions of Zero Potions in his hand. With these eight portions of Zero Potions, his Lunar Essence was somewhat replenished.

Moreover, the forests covering the Heidelberg Plane helped restore some of the lost magical pressure, although not completely.

His Forest Sanctuary had extended into a second lower-level forest on the Heidelberg Plane.

“Using lower-level forests can solve the problem of the demiplane having only 10,000 acres of land,”

Locke thought. “As long as the Moon of Evolution exists, through the Ecological Corridor, i.e., the Forest Alliance Spell, I can create lower-level forests for my Forest Sanctuary here.”

“In the future, my forests can be spread to various worlds in the endless void.” “

This is quite a unique ultimate magic.” Locke

, maintaining a state of freedom within bounds, suddenly realized something.

“Hmm? Is this world going to make a deal with me?”

Locke turned to Susan and said, “Susan, my good child, take good care of Jack and all the Rangers.”

Susan looked up at Locke. Although this was her first meeting with Locke’s true form, she could still sense that Locke’s rational and calm tone was exactly the same as that of the Tree Man Lord.

Susan said to Locke, “Please rest assured, Tree Man Lord.”

Locke smiled wryly; he had already said he wasn’t a Tree Man.

At the same time, he turned and took a step forward. In an instant, his figure disappeared from the Heidelberg Plane and entered the World Hall, which this world had summoned him from.

The World Hall was a scene like an underground forest, lush and verdant.

Locke walked here, reading the information.

Unlike the Blood River Plane, whose plane will seemed like a single person, the Heidelberg Plane was small, and its plane will type was not unique.

Therefore, the Heidelberg plane doesn’t have the tactile sensation of a human.

Locke can only read the trees in the World Hall, trying to understand, or rather, guess the thoughts of the world’s will through their types, shapes, numbers, and distribution.

“A trade? The Heidelberg plane seems quite anxious about its declining magical pressure and the decreasing level of civilization of its life forms.”

Locke’s expression turned strange.

He had gleaned from the underground forest that the Heidelberg Plane had initially viewed the vampire race as a supernatural race, believing their increased power signified an advancement in the plane’s civilization.

Clearly, this was a grave deception.

Vampires were never normal intelligent life forms, nor could they bring true advancement to this plane.

But after the vampire race disappeared, the Heidelberg Plane felt its intelligent life had severely regressed. After all, without the vampire race’s supernatural power, the plane’s civilization was essentially a feudal Iron Age.

Therefore, the Heidelberg Plane was extremely worried about Locke’s departure.

Unlike the three dark wizards, Locke hadn’t constructed any massive magic here; instead, he had used the World Tree Leaf to create a massive magic of endless void.

In the Heidelberg Plane’s eyes, this meant Locke could leave at any time.

Therefore, this plane was attempting to make a deal with them.

“This is… Sunny Sky Witchstone.”

Locke’s face showed surprise. He saw a large number of witchstones in the Heart of this plane; it was clearly an entire witchstone vein.

This witchstone was even Sunny Sky Witchstone, which was useful to second-circle wizards.

Sunny Sky Witchstone was a mineral similar in color to the sky, and could also be considered a special gemstone. Locke took a piece in his hand.

“Witchstone is extremely special. Worlds of different sizes may have witchstone veins. After all, these are materials that could have gathered at the beginning of a world’s formation.”

“It should be the Heidelberg Plane. Before the world was formed, there happened to be some witchstone veins that fell into the core of the Heidelberg Plane. These Sunny Sky Witchstones are not very meaningful to the world because the magic is contained within, and it is impossible to develop the hidden power within them.”

“No.”

Locke was maintaining a state of freedom without overstepping the bounds, so at this moment, by capturing the power of the Heidelberg Plane, he saw this scene: in the endless void, there were countless meteorites outside the Heidelberg Plane.

The Heidelberg Plane seemed to be located in a special void zone with a particularly large number of meteorites.

Some meteorites would collide with the Heidelberg Plane, and among these meteorites were even the Sky-Clearing Witch Stones.

Locke instantly sensed something strange, because the matter inside the Endless Void was extremely sparse, yet there was a continuous stream of meteorites appearing in front of the Heidelberg Plane, and among those meteorites were even very high-grade Sky-Clearing Witch Stones.

“The origin of these meteorites is highly suspicious. This indicates the existence of a unique void astronomical phenomenon in the vicinity of the Heidelberg Plane.”

“The scale of astronomical phenomena in the endless void is incredibly exaggerated. Although these meteorites appeared near the Heidelberg Plane, their origin may be very far away in the endless void. But this unique astronomical phenomenon is still worth exploring.”

“This is the Clear Sky Witch Stone.”

“However, the difficulty of exploring it might exceed that of directly using the Golden Route and a mature planar exploration system to expand the plane.”

Locke placed his palm on the Clear Sky Witch Stone, and instantly, the magical power on the azure stone gradually flowed into his hand. Simultaneously, he chanted incantations, and spell models entered the Clear Sky Witch Stone.

As his magic power squeezed the magical power inside the stone, he extracted the magic power within. The pure, unadulterated void magic power entered his magical pressure, slowly increasing it.

1 point, 2 points…

a full five hundred points.

However, this also turned an entire vein of Sunny Sky Witchstone at the core of this world into white stone.

Locke waved his hand and collected these white stones.

Sunny Sky Witchstone is a very unique and precious magical resource.

It contains extremely high-level energy, the Great Void Magic Power, which is only found at the beginning of the plane’s creation. Second-circle wizards can directly absorb this magic power to increase their magic pressure.

This is rare, and for second-circle wizards, it can be considered a rare and precious magical resource.

These blank Sunny Sky Witchstones are excellent alchemical materials that can absorb energy. Although they are not as expensive as complete Sunny Sky Witchstones, they can still be sold to alchemists on the market.

He had seen a single Sunny Sky Witchstone at the Dragon Blood Market on Golden Crown Mountain for ten million magic stones.

The Sunny Sky Witchstone he just absorbed is likely worth around fifty million.

Therefore, he was able to absorb the Great Void Magic Power inside this Sunny Sky Witchstone and directly increase his magic pressure by five hundred.

Locke said, “This deal is acceptable. My Forest Sanctuary’s lower-level forests and Ranger system will be maintained, and even continuously improved, in the Heidelberg Plane, driving the civilization of the mortals in the Heidelberg Plane upwards. In return, the Heidelberg Plane will capture the Sky-Clearing Magic Stones from the void for me.”

“Is this considered supporting a civilized society in a medium-sized plane?”

“These dark wizards are truly living in a treasure trove, yet they don’t know how to use it. There’s a pile of Sky-Clearing Magic Stones right under their feet, but they haven’t noticed at all. The Heidelberg Plane must have hidden these magic stones for them.”

“Although the effect of absorbing Sky-Clearing Magic Stones to increase magic pressure will decrease later, it will completely lose its effect when my magic pressure reaches about 18,000.” Locke pondered, “My current magic pressure is over 16,500.”

“If the Heidelberg Plane can continuously capture Sky Stones from the void, then I can use these Sky Stones to increase my magic pressure, quickly reaching 18,000 magic pressure. Then, by continuously farming the second-ring projects at Golden Crown Mountain and obtaining the Tourmaline King Peach from the twelve Demon Peaches of Golden Crown Mountain, I can… quickly increase my magic pressure to 19,999.”

Locke was somewhat surprised by this plan.

Because after becoming a second-ring wizard, increasing magic pressure by even a single point requires a tremendous amount of time, but unexpectedly, he now had access to two resources coveted by every second-ring wizard—the Tourmaline King Peach and the Sky Stones.

In this way, he could raise his magic pressure to near the Star Ring level within a few years!

Furthermore, the unintentional breakthrough in his power system construction during the World War was enough to allow him to clearly see the path to advancement.

However, he was different from others; due to the talent of the Dragon Clan, he essentially needed to possess two extremely powerful spells to advance to the Star Ring level.

Of course, his teacher said she would make up for this deficiency.

He didn’t know how she planned it.

But as for himself, Locke actually had some ideas about the second ultimate spell.

Considering the immense difficulty of forging even a single Great Spell, it wouldn’t be wise to forge a completely different path for his second Great Spell, as that would simply mean wasting even more resources and time.

Therefore, Locke focused his attention on the Ancient Tree of Life, which possessed the potential to evolve into a third-circle magical plant!

Just as Edgar transformed his Ancient Tree of Life into a perfect Tree-Man, he should be able to construct a Great Spell on the Ancient Tree of Life, transforming it into some kind of Tree-Man.

However, he hadn’t yet figured out this part and needed to design it carefully.

In this way, he could use the Moon of Evolution to form a mutually beneficial ecological community with that Tree-Man, just like he and Edgar did within the Silent Grail.

Locke turned and left the World Hall.

This World Hall didn’t originally exist; it was only materialized by the World Will wanting to contact him, and he could only do so by using the Summoning World Hall spell model.

In other words, a wizard without the Summoning World Hall spell model is powerless even if the World Will wants to contact them directly.

Unless it’s a special type of plane will like the Blood River Plane.

Locke turned and left the World Hall, returning to the Heidelberg Plane. He appeared before Susan, who was lying under a tree, holding Jack.

Susan’s eyes lit up with joy upon seeing Locke. “Great Tree Man,”

Locke said, “Don’t worry. Jack is alright.”

“He’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep. Susan, there are no more vampires in this world, so I must leave this plane.”

Susan’s expression changed. “Great Tree Man, after fighting Jack for so long, I’ve realized from the teachings of the Leaf of Power that this world isn’t just ours. The world is vast, and many other worlds are suffering terribly from those monsters.”

“Many.”

“We’ve gradually shifted from protecting our own homeland to wanting to protect more people and forests. Great Tree Man, can I leave with you too?”

Locke shook his head slightly.

He had already reached an agreement with the Heidelberg Plane; if he rashly took away its chosen one, this plane might turn against him instantly.

Susan’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Locke said, “Susan, your world is still ravaged, society is collapsing, and people are filled with fear. This is precisely the time when you are needed to rebuild.”

Susan’s eyes brightened slightly.

“Master Tree Man, I think so too. I believe that once the enemy is gone, our mission as Rangers will change from protecting the forest and fighting the enemy to guiding people on how to live in harmony with nature and planting trees.”

Locke said with satisfaction, “Good child. Although you and Jack are not highly talented, you have good comprehension. From now on, you and Jack are my students. You are my fourth and fifth students.”

“Don’t worry, there will be no opportunity to fight the enemy in the future.”

Locke waved his hand, and a moonlight gate appeared behind her.

“This is the ecological corridor I built. Your spirit can traverse it, and with the support of the forest, join the battle in distant lands through spiritual incarnation.”

“Even in places you’ve never been.”

“Our forest transcends not only mountains and seas, but also the void.”

“Every tree in the forest supports one another; they don’t fight alone. Goodbye, Susan. Remember, you are never alone. You are a member of the forest.”

Seeing Locke’s figure gradually fade, Susan anxiously cried out, “Great Master Tree Man, how can I meet you again and receive your wisdom?”

Locke’s voice was distant and ethereal.

“Susan, Jack, and all Rangers, when you meditate in the forest, that is when you communicate with me.”
