A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1003: Heart of the Mountain

Five years later.

Having bid farewell to Xivilnis, who was still researching the mysteries of the Balance Seal Technique, and briefly touring several large cities in the Spirit People World, Green returned to the Oblivion Tower Secret Realm through a space-time rift.

If it weren’t for the resources of the Spirit People World, Green’s frequent interdimensional travel across world groups would’ve put him in dire energy straits long ago.

"Thousand-Eyed Crab, select three million elite slave legions of Screaming Cockroaches, requisition them within ten years."

Aiding the invasion of the Mountain World through the Soul-devouring Kiss naturally did not require Green to bring the Slave Legion. However, apart from the Soul-devouring Kiss, Green’s Two Rings Holy Tower Twenty-Second Sector Group also invited Green to join the expedition for necessary mutual understanding before the civilization war.

Over the years, besides the Stigma Sorcerers who directly contacted Green through Crystal Balls, there were also quite a few low-grade wizards who, with some acquaintance, sought to meet him at the Sorcerer’s Tower, leaving some tokens after failing.

Green casually glanced through them, some were even from the time when he was a Second-Level Wizard at the Seven-Ring Holy Tower, occasionally forming relationships with some wizards.

"It seems the frequent wars have made these low-grade wizards realize the impending crisis, and they are beginning to seek the protection of the Stigmata. Unfortunately... in a civilization war, not even Stigma Sorcerers can dictate the outcome, and under the Stigma, all are ants."

With a sigh, Green took out a list containing a large amount of Dark Domain’s precious materials and contacted the Zijin Fragrance Family, Isar Family, and several families with cooperative academic interests.

The number of Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird heads determines its strength. Upon reaching two hundred and fifty-six, Green would be able to manipulate the numerous heads of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird to complete the Annihilation Force Stone of Original Sin structure adjustment, advancing to a Level Five Stigmata Wizard. Coupled with the power augmentation from the Infernal Soul Myriad Head Bird Elemental True Form, it would likely be easy to unleash an attack index surpassing two hundred thousand, with power incomparable to the present.

Thus, some of the rare resources in the Dark Domain that promote the growth of Synthetic Beasts became the focus of Green’s gathering efforts.

In addition, due to the characteristics of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, some introverted high-purity Flame Energy Crystal Cores also have considerable growth promotion effects. Soul energy mixed with a substantial amount of Negative Energy will be the most basic resource for the growth of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird; the stronger the Negative Energy, the greater the growth aid, whereas pure souls would have no effect.

This requires Green to seek out and collect specific resources from Flame Worlds.

...

A month later, the Two Rings Holy Tower.

The loud sound of the horn spread through the ruins of the ancient city, and dense swarms of Demon-Hunting Sorcerers, like a locust plague, blocked out the sky as they returned to the Demon Hunting Castle, providing vast energy for the Space Fortress to leverage the Lever of Destiny rule.

On the medium-sized Space Fortress with a diameter of twenty thousand meters, the upper layers were filled with the dense Soul Slave Monster Corps and Demonic Hunter Dark Wizards, while the base housed hundreds of thousands of Light Wizard Legions, cabins of Space Airships, strategic resources, Combat Command, and the Stigmata Hall.

The Soul-devouring Kiss transformed into a palm-sized miniature figure, lying on the heart of a bright red flower, lazily holding up a glass of red wine, enjoying it.

"The Mountain World, a small world on the edge of this world group, would originally be unnoticed by either the Wizarding Alliance or the Metal Destroyers, just a peripheral small world that would naturally submit once the world group was unified, hmph..."

As he spoke, the Soul-devouring Kiss waved its hand, and a scarlet lip appeared in mid-air with a "pop" sound, from which a brilliant, mysterious crystal gemstone appeared.

"However, as the war with the Metal Destroyer civilization approaches, the discovery of Heart of the Mountain resources in this world has instantly changed its strategic position drastically."

Green took this brilliant gemstone, and after feeling it with his three-colored light eyes under the Face of Truth, passed it along with an urging from Xiao Ba on his shoulder.

The guy feigned examining it with eyes sparkling, then casually tossed it into the Dimensional Gap, as though it were a natural action.

"Not bad as a Magic Guide performance, quite suitable as the head of a Magic Wand, able to provide considerable attribute bonuses for low-level mages. If there were higher-quality Heart of the Mountain pieces, even Stigma Sorcerers could use it reluctantly."

Green gave this evaluation.

With a shake of the head and a laugh, the Soul-devouring Kiss said in a deep voice, "Your magic wand’s Magic Guide enhancement performance has reached incredible levels, by that standard, these Heart of the Mountain are indeed negligible. But do you think everyone can possess such extreme cold crystals as the wand’s head?"

"Gaga gaga, my young master’s extreme abyss magic staff, let alone Stigmata, could even suit a True Spirit Wizard when the time comes. There’s quite a way to go before it fully taps into its augmentation properties."

Xiao Ba looked immensely proud.

Even considering Xiao Ba’s historical perspective across the Wizard World, Green’s extreme abyss magic staff is considered a quite rare and powerful Sorcery Instrument.

"Hmph... Let it go. You’re aware of the news from two hundred years ago, right? About the birth of the great Eight-Ring True Spirit Wizard."

The Soul-devouring Kiss suddenly asked.

Green nodded, a gleam in his eyes beneath the Face of Truth.

"I’ve heard some news. It’s said to be the great True Spirit from Guangling Fortress’ True Spirit Dedication. If the Black Sorcerer King is also considered part of the True Spirit, then the nineteenth Dominator of the Sorcerer System was born, truly a joyous event, though I regret not being able to attend the celebration in person."

Soul-devouring Kiss remarked wistfully, "At my level, the focus on progressing through the Path of the True Spirit has almost become instinctual, given the Sixth Level beings in the Wizard World always remain the same group."

Speaking thus, the Soul-devouring Kiss paused, taking out another Heart of the Mountain.

"In fact, according to my previous judgment, the two individuals most likely to complete True Spirit Dedication and advance in the Elemental Wizard System on the Wizard Continent were not this Eight-Ring True Spirit. The two were, one from the Demon-Hunting Skeletal Altar’s True Spirit Dedication, and one likely to establish the Curse Wizard faction in the coming civilization war, whether they can establish a faction like the One-Circle True Spirit Wizard remains to be seen, since by rule, Curse Witchcraft is still counted within the Elemental System."

"Is this incursion into the Mountain World, using the Desert Scorpion World as a transit, related to these two?"

The Demon-Hunting Skeletal Altar is a device for Demon-Hunting Wizards to connect to World Fragments, involving the application of the Lever of Destiny rule, the energy support of World Fragments, Demon-Hunting Wizard identity verification, etc. It is far more complex than its appearance suggests, but is unlikely related to the resource Heart of the Mountain for this expedition.

As for the other Stigma Great Wizard focused on Curse Witchcraft...

Green seemed to grasp some crucial information, pondering this Heart of the Mountain for a while with his three-colored light eyes under the Face of Truth, pursed his lips.

"Indeed, it has some strange augmentation on connecting to Mysterious Power."

From what Green knew, although the Metal Destroyer civilization was extraordinarily powerful in energy applications and microscopic research of metal materials, it was entirely in the dark regarding the mystical studies of the Ninth Level Beings beyond the Endless World System.

This is the biggest weakness the Sorcerer System has pinpointed in the current stage against the Metal Destroyer civilization! (To be continued.
