Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Impacting the Formal Wizard Realm!

In the following period, one piece of bad news after another came.

Hundreds of magical creatures appeared on the outskirts of the residential area, breaking through a dozen houses and causing a riot.

And this was just the beginning.

Soon after, legendary creatures appeared, resulting in dozens of casualties.

Cloudwood Hill, one of the three hills owned by the Tower, was also hit by the beast tide, and the residents at the foot of the hill suffered heavy losses.

***

Omar, with the support of her mentor Bella, obtained Green Potion and Silence Potion, and attempted to impact the Formal Wizard realm.

These two potions were very valuable and needed to be repaid.

If the breakthrough was successful, repayment would not be difficult for a Formal Wizard, but if it was unsuccessful…

It would be just as troublesome!

***

Half a month later.

A second-order creature appeared in Leipzig Market, and after eating some people, it did not leave but instead built a nest nearby to rest.

It was clearly treating this place as its hunting ground, after all, so much ‘food’ was laid out in front of it.

The knights’ meat was tough and chewy, and the wizard apprentices had a unique flavor, which were considered great tonics for high-level creatures.

***

A few months later.

The Tower.

“There are hundreds of thousands of residents in the market, and there are also many Formal Wizards and Legendary Knights. If they can unite, they can resist the beast tide even without second-circle wizards.”

“That’s what they say, but without the Capet Family, who can unite so many people?”

“Our Tower does have this prestige, but there are too few of us, and… our strength is also a bit insufficient. It’s okay to protect our own people, but protecting others will inevitably lead to casualties. Do you think everyone wants to do this kind of thing?”

“Both of the Capet Family’s second-circle wizards are dead?”

“Yes! It’s been confirmed that they’re dead!”

Today was the day the Star Gate opened, and everyone inside the Tower gathered again, their voices rising and falling.

Compared to the tense situation outside, they, with the protection of the Tower, did not need to worry about their own safety.

This was one of the benefits of joining a large faction.

“Karl!”

The long-unseen Nancy raised her hand and waved:

“Over here!”

“Long time no see. I heard that Omar is trying to impact the Formal Wizard realm?”

“Yes.” Karl nodded:

“You should be close as well, right?”

Nancy also possessed a second-level wizard talent, and her advancement to Senior Wizard Apprentice was even earlier than Omar.

Theoretically, her foundation should be sufficient.

“…Soon.” Nancy’s smile was a little stiff:

“I’ll try next year.”

“Are you preoccupied?” Karl glanced at her:

“Hodgson’s matter is already in the past, you don’t need to take it to heart. Cultivating properly is the most important thing.”

“…Yes.” Nancy sighed, then turned around and said:

“The wizards are here.”

She clearly didn’t want to say more on this matter.

A group of people stepped into the Tower.

Daniel, Archie, Bella, Marianne…, and three other wizards he had never seen before.

The Tower had been operating in the Magic Forest for who knows how many years, it was impossible that there were only four wizards.

As far as Karl knew.

Including the wizards who didn’t like to show their faces and hid themselves, the number of Formal Wizards should exceed ten.

In the Eastern Kingdom Continent, that would be enough to subvert the entire Black Swamp.

And these were just the Tower’s own people. Over the centuries, the Tower’s relationships in the Magic Forest had become deeply intertwined. Many Formal Wizards had close ties with the Tower, otherwise, it wouldn’t be considered a major force.

Behind the wizards were wizard apprentices carrying packages, Charlie was one of them.

According to the rules.

The Kalim Continent sent a batch of people over every ten years, and these people would return after thirty years, and so on in rotation.

Of course.

If they could become a Formal Wizard within thirty years, they could also apply to return early.

Charlie was standing in the returning team, waving towards Karl, his eyes somewhat complicated.

Thirty years!

When he came thirty years ago, he was at the best age for a man, one could say he was in his prime.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

His body had become hunched, his back was difficult to straighten, he had more white hair on his head, and his eyes had become cloudy.

The Magic Forest!

Charlie opened his mouth, a few tears appearing in his eyes, then let out a silent sigh and stepped onto the stairs.

“Let’s go!”

Accompanied by the sighs of his companions, the group stepped into the light emitted by the Star Gate one after another.

“Buzz…”

After sending off the returning disciples, the light of the Star Gate suddenly intensified, and ten more figures appeared in the field.

The people sent over from the Kalim Continent.

One of them was burly and tall, like a black bear. His gaze swept over everyone in the field, and an invisible mental pressure made everyone lower their heads.

“Senior Vulcan!”

“Respected second-circle wizard, Vulcan, the controller of the earth, the Magic Forest welcomes your arrival.”

“…”

Because of the ‘beast tide’, the Six Rings Tower directly sent a second-circle wizard this time.

It was said that,

This second-circle wizard’s strength was extraordinary, possessing the power to push over mountains and the potential to advance to the third circle.

Even in the Kalim Continent, second-circle wizards were considered to be in the category of the strong.

Third circle,

Belonged to the top experts among the top forces.

Fourth circle,

Even the Six Rings Tower only had a few on the surface.

As for the fifth circle,

These were existences that could rival gods. For over two hundred years, there had been no trace of a fifth-circle wizard in the Kalim Continent.

“Mm.”

Vulcan was over two meters tall, his arms thicker than a normal person’s thighs. He moved his muscles and asked:

“Which ones are from the Eastern Kingdom Continent?”

“Since I went there three hundred years ago, I haven’t seen anyone from there for hundreds of years.”

“…” Daniel raised his head, his expression a bit awkward, then pointed at Karl and Nancy:

“Those two are, and there’s a young girl named Omar, who is trying to impact the Formal Wizard realm.”

“Oh!”

Vulcan raised an eyebrow slightly:

“It seems like it’s only been a little over a year since they came here, and someone is already starting to impact the Formal Wizard realm?”

“Not bad talent!”

“These two…”

“Are also very good!”

His gaze fell on the two of them, nodding repeatedly, his tone full of praise:

“Although the Eastern Kingdom Continent is barren and few people are born with wizard talent, they usually have higher talent.”

“Good!”

“Not bad!”

“Are there only three of them?”

“This…” Daniel looked embarrassed, in his heart, the other people from the Black Swamp had already been abandoned by the Tower. He paused and then said in a low voice:

“The others had some problems.”

He lowered his head as he spoke, not knowing what he did, but the expression on Vulcan’s face gradually became serious.

“Hmph!”

He snorted coldly:

“Loans?”

“People who don’t recognize their own limitations will never achieve anything. I don’t need to see those people.”

“Let’s go!”

With that, he stepped towards the upper floor.

Not long after, Marianne and the others came downstairs, instructing everyone not to wander around, and that the Tower would make some arrangements soon.

Judging by the situation, it was likely to help the market resist the beast tide. At that time, all the Tower’s disciples would have to contribute.

Karl’s eyes flickered, and he quickly came to Marianne’s side:

“Senior, I’d like to apply for a secluded meditation chamber. I plan to impact the wizard realm during this time.”

“Huh?”

“Ah!”

His words surprised everyone around him.

Marianne was first puzzled, then overjoyed:

“Your Sea of Consciousness is completely under control?”

“Yes.” Karl nodded, slightly releasing his mental power, revealing a mental range of over five points:

“I feel like it’s about time.”

“Good!” Marianne looked excited:

“I knew that the guide… you would have no problems!”

“Karl.” Nancy frowned:

“Impacting the Formal Wizard realm is no small matter, it’s best to stabilize for a while before attempting it.”

“What do you know?” Marianne scolded:

“Karl definitely has no problems. Do you think everyone is as timid as you are?”

“Cultivation, sometimes you have to be brave!”

“Karl!”

She pondered for a moment, then said:

“Impacting the wizard realm requires precautions against the strange existences in the Astral Plane. You can’t break through in the Wizard Tower.”

“Go to Cloudwood Hill, it’s where a wizard apprentice successfully advanced a dozen years ago. It’s also close to my residence, so if something goes wrong, I can help in time.”

“Yes.”

Karl responded, and a strong sense of unease at Marianne’s enthusiastic attitude rose again in his heart. He paused and said:

“Then what about the next things…”

“You don’t need to worry about it.” Marianne waved her hand domineeringly:

“Focus on cultivating and strive to become a Formal Wizard. Others will take care of the things the Tower has instructed.”

Nancy, who was standing to the side, hesitated to speak.

How could one impact the wizard realm so hastily?

And Karl was only in his thirties, even if he was a year or two later, it wouldn’t matter, the chances would actually be higher.

But looking at the excited Marianne and the calm and composed Karl, she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.

The others were surprised at how fast Karl’s cultivation had progressed, even though his talent wasn’t high.

“The market was destroyed, and many people died, but some people also made a fortune because of it and had some opportunities.”

Someone said:

“Karl, it should be like that.”

Everyone understood, and their expressions became somewhat complicated.

Envy, disdain, apprehension…

The chaos of that day led to the destruction of Leipzig Market, but it also created many wealthy people.

Those who dared to take action that day and gained something were all ruthless people without exception.

It was estimated that they had found something good, which was why their cultivation had progressed so rapidly.

Karl naturally didn’t know what the others were thinking, he only knew that he now had enough time to rest.

As for the beast tide,

It had nothing to do with him!

*

*

A Formal Wizard needed to sense the Astral Plane and use their Sea of Consciousness to draw the Astral Plane’s energy for their own use.

However,

During the breakthrough, they also had to try their best to hide their mental fluctuations, to avoid attracting certain existences in the Astral Plane.

If they couldn’t sense the Astral Plane, failure in the breakthrough would at most result in a large consumption of mental power and a regression in cultivation, the consequences wouldn’t be too serious.

But if they were targeted by certain ‘things’ in the Astral Plane, they would either have their minds scrambled or die on the spot.

There were too many examples of this.

Divine Domain Fragment.

Name: Karl

Constitution: 5.5

Mental Power: 6.2

Source Essence: 0

Level: Legendary Knight, Senior Wizard Apprentice

Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Rate: 29%

After these few months of hard training, Karl’s mental power and bloodline fusion rate had reached their limits. The next step was to become a Formal Wizard.

“According to my guess, the location of the Divine Domain Fragment should be in the Astral Plane. I’ve entered and exited the Divine Domain Fragment so many times, and I haven’t encountered any Astral Plane creatures, which means the Divine Domain Fragment has the ability to block other existences from entering.”

“Breaking through here, I can easily sense the Astral Plane and I don’t have to worry about being disturbed. Isn’t that much better than a so-called secluded chamber?”

“The Divine Domain Fragment…”

“Is both in the Sea of Consciousness and in the void!”

After Karl had brought his Sea of Consciousness completely under control, a rhomboid crystal suddenly appeared in his perception.

The Divine Domain Fragment!

It was like a piece of broken glass, deeply embedded in his Sea of Consciousness, hidden beneath the fluctuations of his consciousness.

Only by completely controlling the Sea of Consciousness could one discover its existence.

It was in the Sea of Consciousness,

And it was also in another place.

This feeling was very strange, but as the Lord of the Divine Domain, Karl understood it as a matter of course.

“I don’t know if this thing was originally there or if I brought it over when I transmigrated, or if it’s a combination of both.”

Karl muttered softly:

“Regardless, it’s now completely integrated with the Sea of Consciousness and cannot be separated.”

“If I die, the Divine Domain Fragment will collapse, and vice versa.”

Putting away the status panel, Karl didn’t rush to take the potions to break through, but instead looked at the space above the Divine Domain Fragment.

Dimensional Cage!

A complex maze, mixed with mathematical formulas and wizard theories, was like a charming curtain.

***

“The complexity of the Astral Plane is beyond imagination. From other people’s experiences, most of the things attracted by the breakthrough do not have physical bodies, and are similar to human souls.”

“The Dimensional Cage should be able to play a role.”

Although he was in the Divine Domain Fragment, he shouldn’t attract other existences, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

It was never wrong to be careful.

As his thoughts turned, the Dimensional Cage above also changed.

With the increase in Karl’s mental power, the complexity of the maze also increased, and its range also became wider.

After a long time.

“It should be enough!”

Karl took a deep breath and rubbed his tired forehead:

“With the addition of those mathematical formulas from my previous life, this level of Dimensional Cage, in terms of complexity, should not be inferior to that of a Formal Wizard.”

“Next…”

“Rest!”

This sleep lasted for a day and a night.

Karl, who was refreshed, came to the Divine Domain Fragment again and took the recovery potions one by one.

Tranquilizing Potion!

Rationality Potion!

***

Whether they were useful or not, he would take them first.

These were all potions prepared by the Six Rings Tower for their disciples, and everyone had two chances to claim them in their lifetime.

The key was,

They were free!

He closed his eyes tightly, quietly waiting for the potions to take effect.

About half an hour later.

Karl took out the Green Potion and Silence Potion, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head and drank both potions one after another.

Instantly.

“Mmm!”

Karl grunted, his body slightly shaking.

Under the stimulation of the potions, the originally calm Sea of Consciousness suddenly became restless, and his consciousness was like being caught in a large millstone, being constantly squeezed and ground, and impurities were also being squeezed out little by little.

His physical body was also writhing wildly under the stimulation of the potions, and the value of his bloodline fusion rate was flashing non-stop.

Until…

With the blessing of his spirit and body, a certain boundary was forcefully broken through, and a ray of light appeared in his perception.

“Boom!”

The Sea of Consciousness trembled violently.

His restless mental power transformed into a sharp spike, piercing towards the void and connecting with an indescribable existence.

The Astral Plane!

With a mental power of 6.2, he could already compare with many Formal Wizards, so it seemed natural for him to break through.

“Whoosh…”

The world before Karl’s ‘eyes’ lit up.

A colorful, vast, and endless ‘world’ was reflected in his perception, and countless strange auras were wandering around.

Huh?

This was different from what the Tower had recorded.

According to the Tower’s records, the Astral Plane that other apprentices sensed during their breakthroughs was a void and chaotic space.

If there were really so many strange auras nearby, his soul would probably have been swallowed clean.

Karl frowned slightly, then came back to his senses and ‘lowered his head’ to look at his own body.

Deep into the Fragment!

The current him was the Divine Domain Fragment, observing this Astral Plane through the Divine Domain Fragment.

The Astral Plane was on a dimension much higher than the real world, and could be compared to the cosmic void in his previous life’s memories.

And ordinary wizard apprentices would only appear in the near-space area during their advancement, while he was now in the depths of the universe.

What he saw and felt would naturally be different.

“A divine object hides its own brilliance!”

“The Divine Domain Fragment really has the ability to hide mental fluctuations. My breakthrough also didn’t attract other things. If only I had saved the Silence Potion.”

“Heh…”

Karl chuckled lightly. This kind of hindsight was meaningless, but the excitement of a successful advancement made his thoughts active, and he rarely started joking.

Huh?

“What’s going on?”

A strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and Karl’s expression changed drastically:

“Something has appeared in my Sea of Consciousness. The Divine Domain Fragment didn’t work. When did the Astral Plane life form come over?”

“Whoosh!”

With a thought, he instantly returned to the Divine Domain Fragment.

A plume of black smoke appeared in the field at some point, and it was as if it had a consciousness, constantly twisting and writhing.

Karl’s expression was solemn. With a gentle wave of his hand, he had already enveloped the black smoke with the Dimensional Cage.

The powerful aura revealed by the black smoke made him not act rashly. Instead, he took out the things he might need one by one.

This was his Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Domain Fragment. Even if he wanted to hide, he couldn’t. He could only fight head-on. Fortunately, this was his home ground, so he didn’t need to be too nervous.

“Umm…”

Like someone who had been asleep for a hundred years had just awakened, the black smoke stretched out in all directions, slowly transforming into a human figure.

This was a gaunt old man wearing a gray robe, with ordinary features, except for a pair of deep and vast eyes.

“It’s you!”

Karl’s eyes twitched, and many thoughts flashed through his Sea of Consciousness:

“Grey-Robed Wizard Addison!”

The gaunt old man who appeared in the Divine Domain Fragment was not some so-called Astral Plane creature, but the founder of the Black Swamp, the second-circle Legendary Wizard who sacrificed his life to open the Star Gate ━ the Grey-Robed Wizard Addison.

“I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long time.”

Addison touched his forehead and gently stretched his hand forward, and a staff that resembled a cane appeared in his palm.

Holding the staff, he looked towards the darkness ahead, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes:

“This is… that little guy Staley’s Dimensional Cage?”

“Not bad!”

Karl’s voice came from the darkness:

“Grey-Robed Wizard Addison, so you’re not dead. Did you tamper with the Green Potion I took?”

“Did you have Marianne deliberately give me the Green Potion, while your soul hid inside it, and then you took advantage of me taking the potion to impact the Formal Wizard realm to enter my Sea of Consciousness, and finally take over my body?”

Before entering the Divine Domain Fragment, Karl had checked the items he was going to use for the breakthrough again and again, there was no way there would be any problems.

There wouldn’t be any problems with the Silence Potion either.

First, the Silence Potion came from the Capet Family; second, by that time, Marianne had already brought him to the Magic Forest, so whatever she wanted to do, she would have already done it. Only the Green Potion he had obtained in the Black Swamp was a possibility.

“No wonder!”

“No wonder Marianne’s attitude towards me was so strange, so enthusiastically abnormal, yet she rarely saw me.”

Karl continued:

“She wasn’t concerned about me, but rather my body, or rather, you, who would replace me in the future!”

“Grey-Robed Wizard Addison!”

In this way, many abnormal things could be explained.

“Umm…” Addison raised his head, looking directly at the darkness ahead, a smile appearing on his wrinkled face:

“You’re very smart.”

“These years I’ve been in a deep sleep, so I don’t know what happened, but I’d say your guess is mostly correct.”

He tapped his staff on the ground, and slowly said:

“The long years haven’t diminished my thirst for life. I… still don’t want to die.”

“It’s a pity that because of the Morning Sun’s indifference, the Star Gate cannot be opened without my sacrifice.”

“Alas!”

Addison sighed softly:

“I want to see the Kalim Continent recorded in the books, I want to see the world through the eyes of third-circle and fourth-circle wizards, so…”

“Little friend Karl, can you let me have your body?”

You wish!

Karl cursed inwardly, but his face remained calm, while his hands were quickly setting up various things.

To guard against attacks from Astral Plane creatures, he had bought many magic items that could target soul bodies.

“How did you do it?”

Karl asked, while stalling for time and thinking of a strategy:

“You sacrificed yourself to open the Star Gate, everyone saw it with their own eyes, your soul should have been destroyed, right?”

“It’s simple.” Addison wasn’t in a hurry to attack, and instead slowly said:

“Phylactery Splitting Technique!”

“This is a wizardry that can split the soul, sealing a part of the soul in a phylactery. Once the main body dies, the soul will be resurrected with the help of the phylactery. Although it will weaken one’s strength, it can save one’s life. It’s said that this is a wizardry belonging to liches.”

“The Phylactery Splitting Technique I obtained wasn’t complete, and I’m not a third-circle wizard who can split my body and soul at will. I could only integrate my consciousness into the Green Potion and wait for someone to take it and then occupy their body.”

“Why did you choose me?” Karl continued to ask:

“When I met you back then, I was just an insignificant wizard apprentice.”

“Heh…” Addison shook his head lightly:

“Little friend Karl, you underestimate yourself too much. In just a few years after entering the wizard world, you were able to become an intermediate wizard apprentice and also a Grand Knight. This kind of progress is definitely not something talent alone can explain.”

“So, you must have something very special about you, something special enough to make your cultivation progress faster than someone with second-level wizard talent!”

Karl’s methods could deceive Formal Wizards, but not a second-circle wizard.

He smiled and continued:

“When you become a Formal Wizard, you will understand that wizard talent is just a stepping stone. What truly allows a wizard to go further is their thirst for knowledge, their pursuit of life, and other things.”

Huff!

In the spiritual world, there was no real sound, but Addison could feel the killing intent coming towards him.

Before his ‘voice’ could fall, a figure in the darkness had already thrust a spear straight at him.

A Grand Knight!

The killing intent gathered by pure will could also cause damage to a spiritual body.

At the same time.

Dozens of electric arcs appeared out of thin air, striking towards his ‘body’.

Nesto’s Thunderfall!

The power of thunder had always been the nemesis of yin-attributed life, and it could also severely injure consciousness and soul bodies.

Addison’s expression didn’t change. He gently raised the staff in his hand.

First-Circle Wizardry ━ Secret Magic Aura!

Whoosh!

A faint aura rippled through the field. It seemed soft and slow, but it made the thunder fall dissipate into nothing.

The figure that rushed over was also blown away.

Addison reached out again.

First-Circle Wizardry ━ Death Wither!

A dark ray cut through the void, landing on the figure, and the pure destructive power directly shattered the figure.

In just the blink of an eye, it had turned into nothingness.

“It’s useless.”

Addison shook his head lightly:

“Even if only a small part of my soul remains, I can still deal with a wizard who has just advanced…”

“Huh?”

His voice suddenly stopped, and he looked up with a puzzled expression.

The Dimensional Cage,

Was still there!

How could that be?

Logically speaking, if the main consciousness had been destroyed, then the wizardry that was cast should have disappeared.

“I really did fall asleep.”

Addison’s eyes narrowed, and the casual expression on his face quietly faded away. He muttered softly:

“That figure from just now was blurry, and it wasn’t the little friend. So, there’s another consciousness in your Sea of Consciousness. How strange.”

“Huff…”

A gust of wind suddenly blew from the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t wind, but a ball of gray mist formed by countless tiny flying insects.

“Magical creatures?”

“It seems that little friend Karl has earned a lot of magic stones these years, he actually has so many methods on him.”

It wasn’t just the gray mist wind.

Dark tentacles, magic auras, energy torrents, many methods rushed over like they didn’t cost anything.

“Tap!”

Addison tapped the staff in his hand, and visible ripples surged in all directions.

Wherever they passed, all attacks were completely annihilated.

First-Circle Wizardry ━ Weakening Ether!

After casting three first-circle wizardries in a row, Addison couldn’t help but take a deep breath, a look of exhaustion appearing in his eyes. However, he knew that he had no way out. Without a physical body, his mental power would not be replenished after being consumed, and he would only become weaker and weaker. He immediately widened his eyes and let out a low growl.

First-Circle Wizardry ━ Resonance of Life!

Although this wizardry was a first-circle wizardry, its power would increase with the user’s mental power.

With the consumption of a certain proportion of his mental power, a dazzling light instantly erupted, rushing towards the surrounding darkness.

“Crack!”

“Crack, crack…”

The maze created by the Dimensional Cage was forcefully broken through by this power, revealing cracks everywhere.

Addison’s figure swayed, and he jumped out of a crack.

Immediately after.

An extreme sense of fear rose in his consciousness.

Second-Circle Wizardry ━ Aura of Fear!

After Karl advanced to a wizard and his bloodline fusion rate reached 30%, the quality of the Aura of Fear also increased.

Especially here, with the absolute rationality of the Divine Domain Fragment, the power of the Abyssal Bloodline’s talent wizardry would not be weakened due to insufficient mental power.

The Aura of Fear fell, and Addison’s soul body froze.

At the same time.

Vines covered in thorns suddenly appeared out of thin air, tightly wrapping around Addison’s soul body.

Zero-Circle Wizardry ━ Thorns of Guilt!

“Die!”

What entered Addison’s perception wasn’t the little friend Karl he had been thinking about, but a huge squid.

The squid stretched out more than a dozen tentacles covered in suckers and eyes, and each tentacle was wrapped around a broadsword.

Each broadsword was performing a combat technique.

Combat Technique ━ Divine Sanction!

More than ten sword lights smashed down in the Divine Domain Fragment, continuously slashing into Addison’s consciousness, and a violent power erupted.

Karl was still worried that the other party wouldn’t die, so he stretched out his tentacles, enduring the sword energy cutting at him, and activated his talent wizardry.

Devour!

“Boom!”

A bright light exploded in the Divine Domain Fragment, and also blew Karl away.
