Chapter 339 Level Three Wizard
Viola arrived in a flurry and left just as quickly, as if her visit was truly only for farewell and to introduce Ang.
Jemin was already used to this; when his mentor Clark "entrusted" him to Viola, the process was just as simple and almost hasty.
Among wizards, especially those focused on their own paths, communication often gets straight to the point, with little superfluous formality.
After seeing the two off, Jemin's consciousness once again sank into the Sulfur Dimension of Purgatory, immersing himself in the final construction of the Incense and Divine Path.
Time flies by as we focus on research and practice.
Another forty years have passed.
On this day, Jemin carefully engraved the last composite rune array, which carried the core rules, on a key node of the dimensional energy network.
As the last rune lit up, resonating perfectly with the vast network and merging into one, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Suppressing his excitement, he quickly returned to the laboratory located at the core of the dimensional array.
The monitoring array is activated, and comprehensive scan data is instantly displayed.
On the surface of the plane, it remains that eternally fiery inferno.
The sea of lava surged, and the black giants migrated, seemingly without any visible changes.
However, on the sophisticated energy sensing instrument in front of Jemin, the energy flow lines representing the incense and deity system were lighting up steadily and orderly, as if they had been infused with life and began to circulate!
In addition, in a more mysterious aspect, Jemin can clearly sense the changes in the plane by relying on his special perception of spiritual energy as a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He clearly "saw" a completely new cyclical system, different from elemental energy, which, like a delicate neural network, had quietly covered and permeated the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
The incense and sacred path are complete!
The moment the construction of the Shinto was confirmed to be complete, it was as if some invisible barrier had been broken.
In Jemin's mind, countless fragments of knowledge about the essence of spiritual energy, the evolution of runes, the key to array formations, and the cohesion of faith, which he had absorbed from the Great Dao Library over the past thousand years, collided and combined at an unprecedented speed, like attracted stars, and became integrated!
Thanks to this sudden review of knowledge, many things that were previously obscure and difficult to understand have now become clear.
A sudden realization dawned on me.
When he came to his senses from that mysterious state of knowledge integration, he sensed that his mental energy fluctuations had clearly increased by a level.
It is more refined and vast, and its energy interaction with the surrounding world has become more acute and profound.
Level 3 Wizard!
He has been successfully promoted!
Moreover, Jemin could clearly sense that he was no ordinary level three wizard.
They independently designed and successfully constructed a system of incense and deity worship covering the entire plane. Even though it is only a preliminary framework now, their understanding and application of the law of "spiritual energy" has reached an astonishing depth.
He roughly estimated that his mastery of the "laws of spiritual energy" had probably reached more than 5%!
This means that in terms of understanding the laws, he has even surpassed many fourth-level wizards.
However, limited by the total amount of mental power and the degree of qualitative change of a current level three wizard, he can only stably exert power corresponding to close to 1% of the law mastery level at most.
But this undoubtedly shows that Jemin's choice was not wrong. Once he has fully constructed the entire incense and sacred path, even if his mastery of the rules of spiritual energy is not 100%, it will probably be close.
Overjoyed, Jemin's gaze swept over the energy consumption monitoring array connected to the level seven large elemental pool, and the readings on it made him gasp in shock.
"No wonder... the ancient texts of the Great Dao Library emphasize that constructing a sacred path of incense offerings requires at least a star-level energy source as support..."
This energy consumption is simply outrageous!
Over the years, maintaining the full-power operation of ten incubation pools, spawning nearly 600 million black giants, conducting various alchemical experiments, supporting the internal space and automated factories... all these consumptions combined account for less than one ten-thousandth of the total output power of a level 7 large elemental pool.
At this moment, just to establish the initial structure of the incense and deity path and maintain its basic operation, its energy consumption has soared to one-tenth of the total power of the element pool!
According to the design drawings, once the incense and sacred path is fully completed and all functional modules are online and running stably, its energy consumption will probably account for more than 80% of the output power of the level 7 large elemental pool!
"Fortunately...fortunately I gritted my teeth and chose the level seven elemental pool back then..." Jemin felt a wave of fear and relief.
If we had chosen level six to save military merits, we probably wouldn't even be able to start it up now, and the entire grand plan would have been aborted due to insufficient energy.
This step, though seemingly extravagant, is crucial.
Today, the main framework of the incense and deity worship has been completed and is operating stably.
The next step is to add various specific functional modules to it.
For example, collecting and automatically refining the power of incense offerings, improving cross-space energy transmission protocols, and refining the guidance and feedback on the "social" attributes of the Black Giant race.
These fall under the category of "fully furnished" or "fully decorated" apartments, so we can take our time and not rush things like before.
Calculating the time, there are only a little over ten years left until my next mandatory military service.
Jemin felt it was time to temporarily shift the focus from dimensional construction to preparing for the upcoming dimensional battlefield.
He carefully assessed his own condition.
Advancing to the third level of wizard did not bring about the transformative feeling of a metamorphosis that occurs with each major breakthrough in the cultivation system.
The path of a wizard, apart from the first two levels being key leaps in life form and spiritual power, the subsequent advancements are more like a natural expansion and refinement of spiritual power after knowledge has been accumulated to a certain level.
Unless you leapfrog multiple levels at once, the immediate improvement in combat power will not be immediately apparent; rather, it is more of an enhancement of potential and a liberation of the upper limit of power.
"So, where should we focus our efforts for the next ten years or so?" Jemin began to design and plan.
Knowledge is the wizard's fighting power.
With his mastery of the "Laws of Spiritual Energy" far exceeding his current level, ordinary level three wizard knowledge poses little challenge to him. The key lies in how to transform this understanding of the laws into actual combat power.
He quickly sorted out his thoughts: "The primary task is to research and manufacture level three rune artifacts."
This is the most effective way to directly enhance immediate combat effectiveness.
With his current understanding of the laws of spiritual energy and elements, he is fully capable of designing a more powerful and more bizarre level three rune artifact to ensure sufficient self-protection and the ability to break through stalemates on the battlefield.
"Secondly... perhaps I could start exploring knowledge about space-related topics." This thought had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
Spatial knowledge is crucial, whether it's the spatial abilities of the mutated snake spider, the further development of its internal space, or even more advanced applications that may be involved in the future.
Although it is extremely difficult, since advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, Jemin has already gained the initial qualifications to observe and influence spatial forces.
However, I've been putting it off because I haven't had any free time. Now, perhaps I can start exploring and trying some basic things.
Having clarified his goal, Jemin no longer delayed.
His consciousness sank into the laboratory's database, and he began to look up relevant materials on elemental architecture, energy compression technology, and introductory spatial theory.
After all, a little over ten years is not a long time for research, so he had to use it efficiently.
