Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 872

Chapter 868 Nineteen Thousand Demonic Pressures! This is the moment when the Saint descends!

On Mount Golden Crown.

Locke carefully removed the Bloodwave Pineapple from the Golden Wheat rootstock using the second-ring magical grafting knife [Spirit Vein Stitcher], and then grafted it onto another fast-growing Bloodwave Pineapple seedling. This was an advanced grafting method [Double Grafting]. A

unique technique that only second-ring breeders could perform.

First, two magical plants are grafted, then the rootstock is removed, the branch is taken, and the magical plant is grafted onto a similar magical plant variety.

In this way, the magical plant characteristics of the target rootstock can be obtained while preserving the original shape of the magical plant as much as possible.

Simply put, it is grafting a branch twice, using two different rootstocks.

The reason why first-ring breeders find it difficult to apply this method is that they cannot directly see the power of the plane with their n*ked eyes, and therefore find it difficult to subtly control the fusion of magical plant spirituality that occurs during the grafting cultivation method, which easily leads to the failure of the grafting cultivation method.

At this moment, Locke tossed the Bloodwave Pineapple, containing the crucial plant factor, Brilliance Factor, into his Forest Sanctuary, intending to teleport it to his main body.

The moment Orion killed the King Giant of the Three-Dimensional Plane marked the completion of the first phase of his experiments there.

Now, it was time to move on to the second phase.

Locke glanced at the rootstock and said to Douglas, “Take your tools, dig this rootstock out of the magical soil, and place it in the Ice Magic Cabinet in the laboratory. Label it and put it in the public area.”

The Ice Magic Cabinet on the 10th floor of the research institute was generally only used by members of his team.

Moreover, this wasn’t anything important; it was merely a byproduct of the [Double Grafting Cultivation Method]. He kept it simply out of habit.

Therefore, Locke directly instructed Douglas to place it in the public Ice Magic Cabinet to preserve the sample.

Douglas replied, “Yes, Lord Augustine.”

Locke removed his gloves.

The finite element method can also be used to transfer key Brilliant Photon plant factors into the Great Bloodwave Pineapple.

However, this differs from the grafting method.

First, the finite element method requires analyzing the plant essences of both plants and designing the arrangement of plant factors, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.

Second, although both methods ultimately achieve similar results, the complexity of the plant body means that the same goal achieved through different methods will still reveal differences upon careful observation.

The finite element method requires rearranging and designing plant factors, making it unsuitable for transferring plant factors across different plant species. This would be equivalent to directly redesigning an entire set of plant essences, a massive undertaking with high difficulty and uncertain results.

Grafting, while the earliest cultivation method I used, has accompanied my growth, and I have increasingly discovered its profound and subtle aspects.

After the spirituality of two plants merges, the spiritual fusion can occur naturally without me having to manually design plant essences; a portion of the plant essence from one plant will enter the plant essence of the other.

While the details were difficult to control and the design was overly simple, it was practical.

Most importantly, it was incredibly cheap.

He had used seven grafting attempts to successfully complete this one, and aside from the extra costs of using the Evolution Moon to accelerate the magical plant’s growth and graft healing, he only spent 3.24 million magic stones to complete this step.

This was already a decent pair of second-ring wizard shoes, but he needed to go a step further and enhance the cultivation of this magical plant!

Next, he only needed to use the verdant spiritual energy he discovered in the three-plane dimension. If he successfully used the spiritual energy cultivation method once, he could complete a second pair of second-ring wizard shoes.

And it would be an enhanced pair of second-ring pure magical plant wizard shoes.

Of course, this was all predicated on his first successful use of the spiritual energy cultivation method.

Otherwise, all his previous investment—the 3.24 million magic stones, along with the related manpower and time—would be a waste.

Or rather, he would only have created a pair of second-ring wizard shoes of the same level as the first pair.

Most importantly, he was currently out of money.

Because he had invested all his money in developing the second type of second-ring pure magic plant wizard shoes and the second-ring flying magic plant of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow series.

Fortunately, both projects were progressing smoothly with the help of his Evolution Moon and Synthetic Cube.

Witch Mason looked at Locke and asked, “Team Leader Locke, the Brandy Wizard has invited you again. He said that if you don’t have any good ideas recently, he is willing to share a topic with you…”

“Team Leader, do you want to see him?”

Locke was currently focusing most of his energy on the three cave planes, especially on forging his ultimate magic, and he didn’t want to have any entanglement with the others from the Golden Crown Mountain True Knowledge Academy.

“Mason, if he comes again next time, just tell him that I’m very busy lately. Not only am I busy, but I’ve also been using Douglas very frequently lately.”

“We’re all very busy lately.”

Witch Mason smiled, “Okay.”

Witch Freya covered her mouth and chuckled, “Team Leader, I rarely see you refuse someone so directly.”

Locke looked helpless, there was nothing he could do.

Because if he left even the slightest room for compromise, Brandy would shamelessly pounce and relentlessly pester him.

At this crucial moment, he didn’t want to be distracted at all.

…

Outside the Dune plane, after receiving Mason Witch’s reply, Brandy’s smile remained unchanged, but as he turned, he snorted coldly.

‘Looks like Douglas hasn’t had it too easy since joining Locke’s side. Still working every day, huh? Now you know you regret it, don’t you?’

‘All crows are black. Locke, achieving so much at such a young age, must be very good at exploiting others and extremely competitive. If you’re not part of his core team, associating with him will only lead to being exploited.’ ‘Douglas

, now you finally know what humanity is. You might as well have handed over your inheritance to me earlier. At least I wouldn’t exploit you like this.’ ‘

It seems that until Locke finishes exploiting Douglas, it’s completely impossible to have any contact with this man.’ Locke’s behavior was appalling; he left not a single scrap for his colleagues.

He also doesn’t like joining group chats, so I can’t find anyone he usually chats with, and I don’t know anything about Locke’s progress. It’s like a black box. We’re constantly trying to get information from each other in the group, working ourselves to the bone in the lab, but we know absolutely nothing about him.

He’s like a terrifying, unpredictable time bomb.

The Brandy Wizard, projecting his own experience onto others, thought, “I need to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, once Locke grows up, the atmosphere in the True Knowledge Institute will definitely become even more competitive. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up.”

“This competition is about who has the deeper magic, who has the more energy, who has the more methods, who can break down 24 hours into more time… I definitely can’t compete with a young man like Locke.”

The Brandy Wizard pondered, “I wonder how things are going with Locke. But if we’re talking about the person who loves to pry, it’s that annoying Droma. Maybe I should go there and sound out his intentions. I recently heard that Droma somehow became friends with Locke. He’s a blabbermouth; if I say a few words to him, he’ll reveal all the information about Locke himself.” “

That makes sense. I’ll go to Droma and gather information.”

…

At this moment, in the Three Cave Worlds, hidden deep within this world, atop the crater mountain, the ‘God of Gods’ of the upper plane suddenly awoke.

The single, indifferent divine eye in the sky composed of countless eyes suddenly shrank.

He turned and gazed at the crater. He could sense the sudden change in the magical pressure of the three worlds, and even the world’s will, which had been forced into slumber, began to show signs of awakening amidst this violent shift in magical pressure.

His divine eye saw, on the land surrounded by the crater, Orion, standing atop the corpse of the god of kingship, covered in blood, and only now noticing the forest behind Orion.

And in the forest was a young wizard.

Locke was greeting it through his power. Although the two had never directly met or spoken, they had still greeted each other in this way.

“I was wrong, all wrong. I was wrong before.”

The ‘God Supreme’ was filled with both terror and rage. “In preventing that wizard’s descent, I didn’t truly eliminate his power at the very beginning. He hid his power in the mortal world, developing it secretly there, until this moment, when he ordered his pawn to kill one of my most important pieces.”

A long-forgotten fear flashed in the ‘God Supreme’s’ eyes.

Because with the passage of time, Nicholas’s prophecy seemed to be coming true more and more.

Initially, he held absolute power in this world, until that person came. After spending countless years finally suppressing that person in the underworld, Nicholas came again.

Then, after he finally suppressed Nicholas, the wizards arrived at the edge of this world in their void warships.

No.

These bastards, why couldn’t they grant him his wish to rule this world forever?

Why did they have to enter this world from the outside again and again!

Couldn’t they just not come?

Didn’t they know how difficult it was for him to painstakingly control this entire world alone?

“This complicates things.”

The pupils of the Divine Eye dilated, their patterns resembling fiery clouds or rainbows, a kaleidoscope of colors shifting rapidly.

“A new player has appeared on this chessboard.”

“No. This is my world.”

The Divine Eye spoke with malice.

“This is the world I have conquered, and I absolutely cannot let anyone take it away.”

“Nightmare Legion! Damn Nightmare Legion, all I wanted was to make this world my divine kingdom, to allow me to be reborn here. Yet you appear one after another like an endless swarm of locusts. Fine, if I can kill the first batch, I can certainly kill the second.” The

Divine Eye finally broke free from fear and dread.

He immediately ordered the giants, commanding ten giants to descend from the crater and enter the mortal realm to surround and kill Locke’s chess piece.

His Divine Eye pierced through space and time, illuminating the crater from above and locking onto Orion of Terella.

Meanwhile, in the city-state of Antori…

Orion felt his injuries were too severe, so he found some ruins, sat on a rock, and used the wilderness first aid techniques Locke had taught him to tear a piece of his clothing, which he then used as a strip to bind his right thigh to stop the bleeding.

Orion sat there panting, the giant’s skeleton beside him.

The mortal soldiers of Antori stared at him in terror.

The soldiers of this city-state, not known for its bravery, dared not advance, looking at Orion.

After killing the God of Kingship, Orion immediately sensed a change within himself.

First, he seemed to be able to sense the principles of war his treant teacher had spoken of more easily.

This seemed to increase his strength, speed, and allow his body to withstand more damage.

Of course, this was just Orion’s misjudgment.

Because fundamentally, Orion was different from those giants.

The ‘God Above God,’ for some unknown purpose, had not endowed the giants with a power system, but only granted them the corresponding access to the principles of the world.

However, Orion spent three years learning the Ranger system, which Locke had developed through two iterations, and the Forest Breathing technique, which Locke had simplified from meditation.

In other words, the half of the War Principle within him was not directly superimposed on him, but rather transformed into a status and superimposed on the Ranger system, that is, the Leaf of Power.

This led to the fact that Orion was actually more powerful than he had imagined.

If the giants were merely primitive men wielding golden hoes, then Orion, educated by Locke, was essentially a mutant wizard.

The Leaf of Power was Locke’s tool for demonstrating his power, a set of virtual symbols.

On the Vanguard of Exploration, Locke’s true form looked at the Leaf of Power in his hand—the first-ring version of the Path of Nemesis.

His experiment was complete!

When Orion learned the Forest Breathing Technique, the Leaf of Power had already reached 0.9 rings, and the moment he killed the King Titan with the Cursed Branch, this Leaf of Power evolved to the first ring!

Because he killed the King Titan as its natural enemy, he completed a cycle of the Path of Nemesis.

Therefore, his action essentially strengthened the Leaf of Power.

This was an experiment Locke had already set up the moment he asked Hussein to use the blood of the Grass Giantess to complete the second-ring ultimate blood curse and create the Cursed Branch.

And now, with Orion’s actions, this experiment was successfully completed.

By understanding those beings who defied the laws of nature, Orion gradually discovered their weaknesses. As a ranger, he became the natural enemy of these beings who had disrupted the balance of nature.

While it would have been difficult to break through to the first ring, Orion, as their natural enemy, killed the King Giant, fulfilling the responsibility and obligation of the Way of the Nemesis.

In doing so, he used this action to push the Way of the Nemesis – Leaf of Power – one step closer to the first ring.

When this Leaf of Power evolved to the first ring, it meant that other Leaves of Power could also evolve to the first ring.

This Leaf of Power had become an evolutionary leaf, the core of his entire power system.

Because of it, he was saved countless troubles.

When his Leaf of Power system finally reached the first ring, his magic pressure increased by a full 500 points!

This was 500 points of second-ring magic pressure!

Before the Starfield Sea’s high-magic plan, he needed 500 months to improve; after the Starfield Sea’s high-magic plan, he still needed 300 natural months.

That’s 25 years.

But now, due to the completeness of his power system, his magic pressure had directly increased by 500 points.

How many Sunshine Stones would that require!

At this moment, his normal magic pressure was 19,000 points.

Not only that, but the speed at which his magic pressure increased also seemed to have at least doubled. The originally rugged and difficult path in front of him had instantly become a smooth and bright road.

“Explaining one’s power in one’s own words is so important for a second-ring wizard,”

Locke mused.

“I actually increased my magic pressure directly and indirectly increased the speed at which my magic pressure increased by explaining my power to the first-ring stage, thus expanding my soul potential.”

“No wonder many second-ring wizards don’t rush to increase their magic pressure first, but instead focus on projects and publishing articles to increase their understanding of magical knowledge.”

Old Henry looked at Locke with envy.

Locke looked at Hussein, noticing that the quality of Hussein’s magic pressure was very high, and suddenly had a guess.

“Hussein, your magic pressure is only 13,000 right now. But your power system hasn’t already reached the first level, has it?”

Hussein didn’t deny it, but crossed his arms and laughed, “I’m different from you. You don’t have the pressure of being hunted, but I do. If I can’t finish those things that don’t consume too many resources while being hunted, then I’ll truly be desperate.”

Locke nodded slightly. “No wonder your magic pressure is rising so fast. I really envy you.”

Perfecting one’s power system can quickly increase one’s magic pressure.

Unexpectedly, although his magic pressure was far ahead of Hussein’s, before the Three Cave Planes, he was actually so much behind Hussein in internal cultivation.

Hussein looked at Locke with complicated eyes.

“Envious of me? Look at what you’re saying, Locke. The leader envies the laggard. If I didn’t know your overly humble personality, I would probably think you were provoking me on the spot. Of course, we’re already familiar, we’re friends.”

“Of course I won’t misunderstand.”

Locke smiled.

Indeed, he had currently surpassed Hussein by a significant margin, having advanced his power system to the first stage and reached a magic pressure of 19,000.

If judged by the average wizard’s perception of time flow, Hussein was likely thirty to fifty years behind him.

Of course, given their unique circumstances, it was impossible to say for sure whether such a small gap would be suddenly overcome or widen if either of them relaxed.

At this moment, in the three-planet system, Locke’s treant avatar appeared directly before Orion.

Orion looked at Locke in surprise.

“Tree Master? I thought you wouldn’t leave the forest? Are you here to rescue your good-for-nothing student?”

Locke, controlling his tree avatar, said, “In this world, I won’t leave the forest? Hmm… that was before, things are different now. Heh.”

“Orion, you’re not even my worst student; you’ve caused enough trouble. You personally killed a second-ring being. Although I set up the scheme for you, and you were merely the executor of the scheme set up by two second-ring beings.”

“But your experience, even if told in my world, would be a topic of conversation.”

Orion was about to speak when a divine light descended from the sky, enveloping him.

Orion shielded his face with his hand to prevent his eyes from being blinded by the light, and picked up the dagger from the ground.

“Damn it, are those gods still not going to let me go? Fine, I feel I haven’t avenged my family!”

“Teacher, you go first. I’m afraid I’ll implicate you.”

Locke glanced at the dagger in his hand. It seemed that Orion had used it too many times; some of the magical light from the Leaf of Power was reflected on it, making it look like the patterns left from forging a hundredfold steel.

The dagger was undergoing some kind of change.

It seemed to be its own Leaf of Power system trying to deduce a new Leaf of Power.

Locke’s gaze swept around; he had actually been searching for his other half, but he couldn’t pinpoint its location.

“I don’t need to leave. Let the giants come if they want.”

Locke looked up at the Principle of Kingship in the sky. Even after losing its responding entity, the Principle of Kingship hadn’t disappeared or faded; it still shone brightly above their heads.

It seemed that whoever controlled the Principle of Kingship would receive a response.

Orion, gazing at the Principle of Kingship in the sky, said expectantly to Locke, “Teacher, I think you’re the one worthy to be the God of Kingship. You should control this Principle of Kingship. I can feel that after I killed that bastard, his power seemed to be summoning someone who could control it. It’s even extending an invitation to me.”

Locke had indeed originally intended for Orion to control the Principle of Kingship, but he suddenly realized something.

This was the first trap set by the ‘God Supreme’ immediately after discovering the death of the Kingship Giant—a pitfall. And

after the ‘God Supreme’, enraged, issued an order with his divine eye to send ten giants down the mountain to surround Orion, he immediately realized

this was a trap set by Locke.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the ten giants to stop descending the mountain and remain on the crater.

His divine eye gazed down the mountain, and the results of his deductions sent chills down his spine.

“No. That mortal has already gained the external blessing of a second-ring rank. That wizard can no longer only descend with apprentice-level power; this time is different. The last encirclement succeeded because they could only descend with apprentice-level power, or at most a first-ring wizard.”

“But this time, he already possesses second-ring power. Moreover, some of these giants are Nicholas’s men, or those secretly playing both sides. Aside from the Royal Giant, the Fire Giant, the War Giant, and some of my confidants, I can’t completely trust the other giants.”

“If these giants descend the mountain, the final result will likely be that they will be hunted down one by one. Especially if the Grass Giantess is killed, then I’ve completely lost.”

“My contest with him is like playing a game of chess. I’ve already lost the initiative. If I let another piece slip into someone else’s rhythm, into their territory, and be delivered to their doom, then I’m truly doomed. At least his true form can’t enter yet!”

“The Nightmare Legion’s wizards have now secured their dominance. I can no longer win by brute force. They didn’t move their pawn immediately; instead, they waited for me in place. If I went, I’d be falling into their trap.”

On the other side, Locke’s treant avatar sneered as it gazed at the Principles of Kingship waiting to be taken over in the sky.

“The Principles of Kingship are different from other World Principles. Other World Principles are things that already exist in the world, but the Principles of Kingship rely on civilization.”

“Currently, almost all of this civilization worships the gods of the crater, and this worship is controlled by the ‘God Supreme.’ If I take this Principle of Kingship, it won’t enhance me; instead, it will suppress me and lead to my defeat. This Principle of Kingship is probably a key item in the hands of that ‘God Supreme.’”

Just as Locke was about to consider whether there was a way to divide the Principle of Kingship, it abruptly disappeared.

Locke sneered.

So automatic.

‘Although I don’t know who that God Supreme is, this feeling is all too familiar.’ Locke

‘s expression was strange. As someone who frequently participated in competitions and project applications, he was all too familiar with this feeling.

Wasn’t this the feeling of clashing with wizards?

That supreme god must come from a genuinely hostile civilization to the wizarding civilization in the endless void. This feeling was too authentic. The feeling of meticulous planning and countless backup plans. “

But there aren’t many civilizations that can rival the wizarding civilization. I might ask my teacher to confirm who the other party is.” “

He must have a lot of experience fighting wizards. No wonder I couldn’t just kill indiscriminately; it’s not a beginner’s game, it’s an old hand’s game.”

At this moment, Locke sensed the giants on the crater retreating back to the upper plane. He frowned immediately. He hadn’t expected that his deliberate provocation here wouldn’t have resulted in them re-entering the fray.

Good heavens, it really was an old hand’s game.

However, he already had the advantage.

“My other half must have done something in this world,” Locke pondered. “I need to find him.”

Locke’s Saintly Avatar began to descend. Because Orion was a Ranger, and Rangers were part of the forest, the moment a Ranger received a rank enhancement, it was equivalent to the Forest Sanctuary deeply entering this world.

And Locke could use the power from the Forest Sanctuary to descend his Saintly Avatar here!

This moment was the moment of the Saint’s descent.

High above, on the surface of the plane’s crystal wall, Locke’s true form, wearing wizard’s shoes and robes, walked upon it. He stood with his hands behind his back, and streams of life magic gathered before him. After receiving the invitation from the power of the world below,

his power transformed into a pillar of light, falling from the heavens.

The plane’s laws of the world below immediately welcomed this great Saintly Avatar.

The long, dark night seemed to be illuminated by the candlelight of the Saintly Avatar at this moment.
