Chapter 272: Chapter 181: Soul Anchoring

Multiple protective arrays are set up here, not only to block external magic power fluctuations but also to prevent internal energy leakage.

He carefully disengaged the array and pushed the door open to step inside.

The room was softly lit, with a research table crafted from special materials at the center, and protective runes carved on the surrounding walls.

Ron placed the black sealed box and the letter aside and went straight to the sealed area to retrieve the heavy ”Abyssal Creatures Atlas”.

Since the intense mental shock last time, he had temporarily set aside reading this forbidden book.

But now, with his promotion to Advanced Apprentice and the acquisition of the Bloodline Altar qualification, he must quickly absorb more knowledge about the Abyss.

The pages slowly unfolded in his hands, and the animated text and images appeared once again before his eyes.

This time, he deliberately avoided the Chapters that might trigger intense spiritual waves, directly flipping to the section describing the intersection of the Abyss with the outside world.

”The intersection of the Abyss and the outside world is not a fixed physical boundary, but a gradient change in energy density...”

Ron read this passage carefully, his eyes flickering with focused light:

”Due to the ’Dimensional Great Voyage’ at the end of the Second Era, many otherworlds collided and merged with the Main World, thus creating countless exotic realms, and once they come into complete contact with the Main World, they inevitably get affected by this special energy gradient...”

As he delved deeper into the reading, Ron gradually connected these descriptions with Hayek’s explanations of the Bloodline Altar:

”The most famous exotic realm is the ’Bloodline Domain,’ a semi-independent space torn open by ancient wizards, generating a large number of smaller ’Bloodline Altars’. Here, bloodline potential is completely activated, and the essential form of life often reveals itself...”

”Bloodline Altar!” A trace of excitement flashed in Ron’s eyes.

Continuing to read further, the book detailed the traits of this ”Bloodline Altar”:

”Unlike the Abyss, the Bloodline Altar, as a type of exotic rift, is not an absolutely dangerous environment, but the trials it contains often exceed ordinary endurance capacity.

Each entrant will face the truth of their own bloodline, ancestral memories buried deep within genes will be awakened, forming various illusory or tangible challenges...”

”Most critically, the connection of the Bloodline Altar with the Abyss makes its internal environment highly sensitive to spiritual contamination.

Those who enter carrying spiritual contamination often trigger more dangerous mutation reactions...”

This warning made Ron furrow his brows.

He realized that before entering the Bloodline Altar, he must ensure his mental state is at its best, otherwise, he could fall into a dangerous situation during the trials.

The book continued:

”The trials of the Bloodline Altar usually consist of three stages:

The first stage is ’Recurrence,’ where the explorer will experience historical fragments of their own bloodline;

The second stage is ’Resonance,’ where bloodline energy begins to interact more deeply with the explorer;

The final stage is ’Transformation,’ where bloodline potential is fully released, and the explorer may undergo a fundamental enhancement...”

”However, not everyone can complete all three stages. Most explorers reach their limits by the first or second stage. Forcing through these limits often leads to catastrophic consequences...”

Ron memorized this information deeply, understanding why the School places such importance on the opening of the Bloodline Altar.

For any apprentice aspiring to walk the path of a wizard, this is a rare opportunity.

Not only to gain a deep understanding of the essence of one’s bloodline but also the possibility of achieving a qualitative leap.

However, this opportunity comes with enormous risks, and those who rashly attempt it may pay a painful price.

With his mental state relatively stable at the moment, Ron decided to continue exploring the content he was more curious about.

He first turned to the Chapter he had only read the beginning of last time: ”Abyssal Materials and Rare Treasures,” continuing from where he left off.

The book elaborately listed the unique materials of each Abyssal layer, not only describing their appearance and basic properties but also analyzing their ”overwriting” effect on the laws of the Surface World:

The first and second layers’ ”Blood Crystal” — a red crystal capable of automatically absorbing and storing life energy.

The book revealed that Blood Crystal is actually a manifestation of primal consciousness in the Abyss, ”learning” the rules of the material world by absorbing life energy from surrounding creatures.

The third layer’s ”Black Sand Essence” — a black crystallization compressed from countless micro life forms.

This material possesses astonishing space manipulation traits, capable of folding and twisting space at the microscopic level.

Moderate usage can create spatial bags or storage devices with capacities far exceeding their appearances, while large-scale usage can create short-range teleportation gates or spatial traps.

The fourth layer’s ”Reshaping Resin” — a semi-transparent liquid extracted from ancient trees in the Twisted Jungle, displaying a constantly changing rainbow hue.

The most amazing trait of this material is its ability to blur the boundaries of life forms, allowing the user to temporarily acquire the traits or abilities of other creatures.

The book recorded that an alchemist used reshaping resin to craft the ”Hundred Facets Hide,” enabling the wearer to switch freely between different biological forms.

But the cost is equally terrifying — prolonged use leads to the user’s body and soul ”forgetting” their original form, eventually becoming an amorphous biomass.

The fifth layer’s ”Time Amber”...
