A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Exiles (7)

The Illusory Lotus grew increasingly mysterious and illusory, as if it were about to become completely transparent. The Colorful Rooster’s cave was filled with an eerie, mysterious alien rule.

Green remained unfazed, continuing his experimental research, never leaving the cave. While the Colorful Rooster was anxious, it was helpless, enchanted by the Illusory Lotus on one hand and wary of Green on the other.

No formal contract existed between them, only a verbal agreement.

”These strange phenomena are quite interesting. Is this plant a treasure from your world?”

At this moment, the petals of the illusory lotus transformed into phantoms of recently deceased monsters from the Panguela Abyss, floating in the air. Occasionally, some corporeal objects that could disturb the mind rushed towards Xiao Ba, Green, and the Colorful Rooster, but they were harmless, like a cold wind brushing past one’s back.

The majority of these monsters were creatures that challenged Green’s Abyssal King position and were slain, twisted and grotesque. Yet, as a well-learned Elemental Wizard, Green was not deceived by these appearances.

”Hmph, I should actually thank your Wizard World. If it weren’t for your world’s invasion, how would the Illusory Lotus, a symbol of the Shadow Demon King’s authority, have ended up with me, a mere lotus seed?”

Though the words were of thanks, the tone carried undisguised hatred and anger.

”The Gale Fox already told me the value of the Illusory Lotus blossom, to communicate with the power of the dark shadow?”

Green stared at the Colorful Rooster with an amused smile.

The Colorful Rooster suddenly stiffened, remaining silent for a long time, creating a heavy atmosphere in the cave. After a while, Xiao Ba’s mocking laughter suddenly echoed: ”Ga ga ga ga, Master Eight is dying of laughter. Ignorant fool, do you think the power my young master pursues could be compared with your Illusory Lotus?”

In the Colorful Rooster’s somewhat embarrassed and awkward vigilance, Green suddenly extended a finger, and with a ”whoosh,” a Source of Darkness appeared, jet black as ink, engulfing all light that touched it, similar yet superior in degree to the Illusory Lotus’s power!

It flickered away, and Green could only maintain the Source of Darkness for such a short time due to a magic backlash.

The Colorful Rooster stared blankly at the spot where the Source of Darkness had appeared on Green’s fingertip, incredulous.

”Speaking of which, I’ve inadvertently obtained the power of the dark shadow many years ago, but since this dark force is so sublime, reaching a level of mysterious power backlash, I couldn’t speak of control or application. The appearance of the Illusory Lotus has provided me a rather good entry point.”

In research before the magic backlash, Green made an unbelievable and astonishing discovery about the Annihilation Force again.

Ancient Wizards’ research into the Annihilation Force was limited to the triggering of Annihilation Force by counter-energy.

But with Green’s accidental discovery of the World’s Veil Rule Thunder container, he completed unprecedented true mastery and application of the Annihilation Force, fulfilling one of the Stigma Sorcerer’s advancement conditions: energy transmutation.

During his time lurking in Biselle City on East Coral Island, Green once initiated Grand Sorcery of Sacrificial Descent in the void. Upon returning to the Wizard World, he unexpectedly found that the Annihilation Force produced by the mutual annihilation of Void Force and material force had an entirely different effect compared to the Annihilation Force produced by the confrontation of water and fire elements.

Different conditions produce different Annihilation Forces with differing application effects?

This astonishing discovery in Green’s field of Annihilation Force knowledge research was no less than the first Elemental Wizard’s feat of changing elemental structures to leverage the rules!

Even though Green didn’t have much time to conduct systematic research due to the magic backlash, he immediately started associating ideas at first opportunity.

The mutual confrontation of water and fire, or rather ice and flame energies, produces a purely annihilative Annihilation Force of destruction, while the confrontation of material force and void force produces an immense and unbelievable source of energy, which is also Green’s planned developmental direction for his future as an Elemental Surge Body-Training Sorcerer.

So what would be the nature of the Annihilation Force from the relative energy impact of light and dark?

Naturally, Green thought of his Source of Darkness, this high-level power that transcended the Endless World’s power system, yet awkwardly realized that he had no corresponding high-level light energy to match it...

It was a while before the Colorful Rooster came to its senses, looking at Green, who seemed increasingly mysterious and unfathomable, only to feel as if it were a cricket being toyed with on a tray, thinking it was using the other party, unaware it was merely a single link in the other’s pursuit of purpose.

”The breath of death can more effectively promote the maturation of the Illusory Lotus, otherwise the Shadow Demon wouldn’t hold blood feasts periodically, leading to the Wizard World’s invasion. This Illusory Lotus wouldn’t have matured eight years early due to your excessive slaughter over the years.”

The minimum requirement for maturity was a thousand years, and the environmental demands were extremely harsh. Therefore, possessing a seed didn’t equate to possessing an Illusory Lotus.

Green silently nodded, tried to smile innocuously, then stood up and said, ”Still according to our agreement, I want three of the seven lotus seeds.”

With that, Green left the cave with Xiao Ba.

Compared to obtaining clues to the Nameless Ancient Demon’s relic from the Colorful Rooster, thus opening up knowledge in the life code genetic evolution field, a mere mature Illusory Lotus was an easy choice for Green.

Three days later.

As the eerie, illusory fluctuations of the Illusory Lotus reached their peak, the entire Abyss Gorge seemed to ripple with an invisible wave, then suddenly this power mysteriously disappeared.

Outside the cave, Green turned his head and quietly looked towards the deep, dark depths of the hidden cave.

After a while, Green’s Hunting Nose sniffed, and he mysteriously smiled, calmly saying, ”Dividing one’s own power into shadow and body parts, or say, partially transforming the flesh into shadows, while possessing the power to absorb the force of death, interesting.”

Inside the cave, the Colorful Rooster slowly walked out, without a shadow beneath it. One wing extended, and three black seeds swirling with illusion flew toward Green. Its eyes fixed on Green, incredulous, ”You’re different from those wizards. You’re scarier than they are!”

There was a ripple in the shadow beneath Green’s feet, revealing the Colorful Rooster’s shadow, which then squirmed back to the Colorful Rooster’s feet.

Green understood that the Colorful Rooster referred to those Body Refining Sorcerers.

The fearsome insight and learning ability of Elemental Wizards, given enough time, is the source of fear for all creatures.

Receiving the three Illusory Lotus seeds, Green nonchalantly said, ”Then, let’s set off!” (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m..)
