A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1430: The Lost Thirteenth Ring

East Coral Island, Krakatoa Port, that is simply Green’s habitual name.

In fact, the small town port had long been renamed after the death of Krakatoa, but none of this mattered to Green, who continued to use its former name.

The town and the port were the same; although the wizard had passed away, the plans he established for the town continued to be passed down.

Green strolled through the dusky Krakatoa Port, where flocks of seagulls soared gracefully in the distance, the ocean surged with the tides, stretching out to the fiery clouds beyond the horizon, with a half-sunken sun on the sea’s surface, over a hundred Helen of various sizes anchored, and an old man at the lighthouse busy carrying whale oil, preparing for the night’s watch.

Once, right here, Green, Yorkris, Chris York, Laphie, and Binhanxun embarked on their wizard journey, filled with innocent fantasies about the Wizard Continent, not knowing what tomorrow would bring or what new, wondrous things would happen.

"Uncle, buy an Amando Tulip."

A little boy with a flower basket, wide-eyed, looked at Green. Krakatoa Port is in a temperate marine climate, and now Green had crossed almost half the Wizard Continent, not yet facing the harshness of winter.

"Amando Tulip?"

Green picked up a bunch of Amando Tulips, placed them by his nose, closed his eyes, and gently inhaled, seemingly savoring the moment immensely.

"The flowers are beautiful. You know, you carry a scent similar to mine, it’s the hazy touch of the first spring breeze on one’s face. Little guy, do you long to see the ocean roar beyond the island, where the end of the rainbow hides ancient treasures?"

The little boy widened his eyes at Green, staring blankly: "One Amando Tulip for one copper coin."

Uh...

Green handed a copper coin to the little boy, who dashed away like the wind, no longer paying attention to Green.

"Wa ga ga ga ga, he thinks you’re a madman."

Xiao Ba said to Green, who shook his head and came to a secluded dock by the sea, where a small green seedling thrived in the crack of the stones, seemingly ordinary, just one of the countless humble lives in the boundless Wizard World.

"Great Spring Guardian, this time I descend to the Wizard World hoping to query a world coordinate through the Eye of the World."

Amazingly, Green solemnly spoke to the small green seedling.

Visibly quickly, the top of the seedling gradually blossomed with a flower, inside which lay a tiny elf with green wings, no larger than a fingernail, rather inconspicuous.

"For such a powerful Stigma Sorcerer to descend to the Wizard World, and come merely to query a world coordinate? Blessed by the Summer Guardian, I sense some unease from you, you carry something quite toxic."

"It’s the aura of illusion; I was trapped in deep illusion for several epochs, and the time flow of material energy has been influenced a bit."

Green casually explained and then continued: "This world, I accidentally obtained its coordinate during my deep illusion, seems they have an urgent matter to communicate with the Wizard World. Coincidentally, during my wizard apprentice days, I passed by the Eye of the World and once had contact with this world."

"What world?"

The Spring Guardian asked.

"Star denizen world."

The little elf shook its head, clearly unfamiliar with the world, cautiously saying: "Since you’ve reached this level, you should be aware of the safety of the Wizard World. The Eye of the Wizard World can accurately locate the eyes of a world through some coordinates, but such communication can easily expose both sides. The Wizard World is waging a war of civilization, and I hope to avoid some unnecessary trouble."

"No, I feel it’s something very important, exceedingly important."

...

With Green’s persistent insistence, he eventually secured the eligibility to trial the usage of the Eye of the World, differentiating high-order wizards from low-grade wizards.

Green was gradually approaching the level of rule-makers, thus becoming a beneficiary of the rules.

Numerous Dark Wells were situated in the courtyard, bathed in moonlight, with sycamore leaves swaying like the sinister hands of devils, exuding a mysterious aura. Green knew these were occasional temporal world connections disrupting the Wizard World’s spacetime rules, affecting surface cognition.

Young men and women came, drawn by curiosity, and rendezvoused with exotic creatures through the Dark Wells, with laughter and amazement, as the crowd gradually dispersed, Green emerged slowly from the shadows.

Eek...

The wooden door opened, and the hunchbacked form of the Spring Guardian’s avatar slowly emerged.

"These youngsters won’t expose the Wizard World’s aura, but you’re different. The Wizard’s Will on you will immediately reveal the Wizard World’s location. You should know this was what the Ancient Wizards feared most; if those Abyss Formless Ancient Demons swarm following the coordinates, the Wizard World would be utterly doomed. Thus, the rule preventing official sorcerers from approaching the Eye of the World continues to this day, never deliberately altered."

The old witch walked step by step to Green’s side, casually scattering some Sands of Time, and soon, numerous ephemeral creatures appeared over the Dark Wells, devouring these sands.

No, they aren’t ephemeral creatures, they are spacetime beings, walking in different times, unlike material beings walking in more spaces, akin to Insect Mengmeng from the Dark Portal in the Great Dark World.

"Go ahead, I’ve minimized the Wizard World’s influence through temporal nodes."

"Ga ga ga ga, what on earth is over there? Meeting a wizard in the Dimensional Esophagus and eager to converse must mean something big."

Xiao Ba and Green communicated through their soul, while Green took a handful of wizard currency from his sleeve.

There were six in total. With a flash of Hexagram Rune on the wizard currency, Green absorbed the Wizard’s Will from them, promptly causing the six wizard currencies to soften rapidly, transforming into six small tadpoles that plummeted into the well’s water with a "plop," "plop," "plop."

As Green’s meticulously operated Force of Spacetime facilitated the connection, the well’s water gradually formed a vortex, and after a moment, seemingly locked onto an accurate coordinate, multiple intents reached out from the opposite side, with Green confirming a total of seven.

"Level 12 Star Spirit Summoning Saint!"

Soon, Green identified the Level 12 Star Spirit Summoning Saint summoned by the Ancient Heart in the Dimensional Esophagus, who had left him the Star Spirit world’s coordinate with a Level-6 Peak Creature.

"You returned to the Wizard World from the Dimensional Esophagus! Finally... finally connected with the Wizard World!"

This Star Spirit Summoner’s excited intent came through, while Green calmly asked: "Last time in the Dimensional Esophagus, you only had time to leave the world’s coordinate. Now I’ve returned to the Wizard World, what exactly is the matter?"

"Thirteen Rings True Spirit Wizard, it’s the Wizard World’s thirteen rings True Spirit Wizard who slumbered for several epochs in the star denizen world, asking us to find the Wizard World’s coordinate, hoping to have his body buried in the Wizard World."

Green, Xiao Ba, and the Spring Guardian were all astounded by this sudden news—a lost ancient True Spirit in a Foreign Domain!?
