A Sorcerer’s Journey
Chapter 1080 - 1082: Face of Truth Project Phase 10
Seventy years later, Oblivion Tower Secret Realm.
The true power of the Ancient Giant Chi Demon lies in weapon mastery, continuously refining weapons with its own body for indefinite growth.
Therefore, the Ancient Giant Chi Demon does not demand excessively high levels of weapons; as long as the weapon’s functionality is confirmed and its level is not too low, there will come a day to elevate it to an exceptionally high level.
Of course, for high-level weapons, faster speed is even better.
No wonder the six weapons of Stigmata Grand Sorcerer Ansel at the Underground Abyss Three Stars Sacred Tower, integrated into sorcery instruments, are not just ordinary sorcery instruments, but at least on the level of Green’s "Book of Truth" and "Robe of Appearances"!
With expertise in sorcery instrument craftsmanship, Green is considered among the strongest in the Wizard World. Whether it’s the former Horned Skull Magic Wand or Green’s current "Book of Truth," extreme abyss magic staff, "Robe of Appearances," "Face of Truth," and even "Grimm’s Fairy Tales," they are exceptional sorcery instruments. The creation of such instruments closely relates to a wizard’s level of knowledge and their ability to obtain materials for experimental accrual.
At this moment, in the void airship laboratory.
Using the Face of Truth, Green has completely analyzed this Flying Needle Sword Formation—a construction of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine auxiliary needles. The attack degree ranges from 1000 to 5000 degrees, featuring stealth, piercing, poison application, and erosion effects, able to influence and overlap each other to a terrifying extent, endlessly copying and regenerating.
A primary needle is the formation’s weakness, yet it is also the core essence of the sword formation.
The primary needle can command thousands of flying needles to merge into one, incredibly fast, the perfect method for pursuing weak escaping enemies.
Having analyzed these flying needle structures, Green is now replicating them one-to-one using Alloy No. 3 Rugged from the Wizard World—green’s own blood provides the poison of the replicated sorcery instrument.
With Mixed Poison Body Refining and Male Poison Body Refining, some peculiar poisons of the Wizard World are indeed better than Green’s blood. After all, with merely a lifespan of a few thousand years, Green’s accumulated toxins do not compare to those of elder wizards like Netherheart.
However, refining sorcery instruments by the Ancient Giant Chi Demon is itself a process. To synergize Green’s toxin body might be beneficial?
Ultimately, Green named the strangely sourced sword "Ninety-Nine Unity Sword," and it is now integrated into his body, continually refining.
Presently, Green is crafting a second sorcery instrument, a binding and restraining instrument, forged from the Ghost Spider King’s prime silk. It is most effective against purely passive evolutionary brute force creatures, particularly Stone Monsters, Stone Fairy Giants, and such creatures relying on pure physical attacks.
This also reminds Green of his early days, when Peranos led him to visit Uncle Four Eyes of Uto, granting him the Green Serpent Threads.
Similarly, it is a binding sorcery instrument and Green’s first true sorcery instrument, having played some role during the Demon Hunting Expedition.
Not only has Green cruelly refined the Ghost Spider King’s corpse into spider silk, but, returning to the Wizard World, he gathered all the mother nest threads of the Spirit People World’s Spider King, clearing out all Ghost Spiders before starting to craft this binding instrument named the Soul Catcher’s Net.
Extreme abyss magic staff, Ninety-Nine Unity Sword, and Soul Catcher’s Net—the Ancient Giant Chi Demon’s true body requires six sorcery weapon blades, and now three are gathered.
Three remain, one of which Green has some ideas.
Once, during Green’s tenure as an Official Sorcerer, he participated in the war between Nine-Headed Fury Academy and Shadow Thousand-Eyes Academy. A Thousand-Eyed Bright Lamp sorcery instrument impressed Green deeply. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
However, Green is not adept at soul-type attack sorcery but possesses a powerful and terrible Dissimilation Field sorcery—a wide-spanning fatal attack. Finding materials to amplify the Dissimilation Field could create a lamp resembling the Thousand-Eyed Bright Lamp.
Three months later.
"Waaaah, Green Beast, Mili is back!"
Xiao Ba and Leafy excitedly flew into Green’s laboratory, while Green, slightly worn but wise eyes, raised his head from finishing the tenth phase engineering of twelve pairs of compound eyes on the Face of Truth. A sorcerer deeply revered on the vast path of truth questing.
"Oh?"
Upon seeing the snow maiden standing at his laboratory’s entrance, a hint of joy slightly softened Green’s solemn expression, forming a slight smile.
"Did you... succeed?"
Mili’s icy crystal-cold face melted like thawing ice beneath the spring as she encountered Green, experiencing life, death, reunion—it all seemed worth it upon seeing Green once more.
"Yes, I succeeded."
At this time, a First-Level Honor Medal fluctuation emerged from Mili, symbolically representing her as being marked by the Wizard’s Will—a beacon of hope for the future of the Wizard World.
She walked to Green’s side, looking at the compound eyes drawn on the extended paper of the Face of Truth. The two companions on the sorcery path, not wizard partners but already reaching a state of mutual understanding, needing no lengthy dialogue—each comprehending the other.
"Wow, this is the first time seeing the essence of your Face of Truth, truly... truly grand and unbelievable, a miracle—how did you achieve this?"
Mili turned toward Green, the solitary wanderer of sorcery paths—the reason behind Mili’s transition from respect and reverence to admiration.
Among strangers, each wizard is a mystery, simultaneously striving to unearth some aspect of each other’s true nature, forming a civilized wizard advancement.
The difficulty in acquiring knowledge underscores its value, fueling each wizard with a spirit of progress and exploration, establishing a growing wizard civilization. Exploration and learning are intrinsic to wizards; knowledge is merely the process, transformed into sorcery, instruments, warfare, survival methods, the outcome.
If one day, when Wizard World’s knowledge loses its value, and wizards abandon exploration and learning, even if all knowledge of the Holy Tower Book becomes public, wizards merely become mass-produced high-level slaves, unable to create stronger wizard civilizations like the First Ring Holy Tower, the One Circle Holy Tower, or the One-Star Holy Tower...
"Hehe, actually, this Face of Truth was a dream from when I was a wizard apprentice, hoping it would become a legendary sorcery instrument piercing the truth’s surface as I pursued the path of reality. From the First-Level Wizard stage, I have continuously nurtured its growth, dedicating my life’s energy to it."
As Green says this, with a touch of Grim Power, he further amplifies the unfolded Face of Truth paper. The goose feather pen, gathering Green’s spiritual power, drafts billions of dense Runes—seemingly endless.
"At this moment, the Face of Truth, constituted by Ultrasonic Positioning Witchcraft, Hunting Nose Witchcraft, differentiating temperature differences and dynamic Endless Eyes, Eagle’s Eye, bio-mechanical microscopic eye, Observing Eye, discarded Detection Eye, Lifeforce Detection Eye, Eye of the World, Nightmare Insight, plus the current tenth phase engineering, the True Essence Gaze Compound Eye—all interacting and overlapping, can amplify a wizard’s various sensory abilities. However, some detections among them seem unnecessary for high-order wizards but have achieved new enhancements under the support of the Eye of the World..."
Green actively shares the essence of his Face of Truth with Mili.
Not considering the unique knowledge and materials involved, the sheer magnitude of work intimidates, earns respect, and worship.
Imitation?
Even to a True Spirit Wizard, beyond the Eye of the World engineering within the Face of Truth, this sorcery instrument has become an unreplicable unique legendary sorcery instrument, stronger than the extreme abyss magic staff!
