Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 879 Have you not heard the saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening"?

The magic of spring planting is the most familiar magic to every botanical wizard. Its enormous power of life germination strengthens the golden peach, making it grow larger and larger. It contains the first kind of Myster power, forming a cycle in which the three force fields constantly manifest.

A single golden peach embodies a principle of nature.

This is the "Peach-Picking Path," a spell model derived from the "Tree of Prosperity," which Locke created after contemplating the principles of prosperity for a thousand years from his half-body.

The power of Mister circulated continuously, transforming into the power of prosperity and abundance. It became increasingly heavy, but due to the golden magic on the surface of the golden peach, all its power was preserved and suppressed downwards towards the Demon Wolf Hell.

At this moment, because Locke obtained the Tree of Prosperity, his normal magic pressure directly reached 19,999, which was extremely close to the Star Ring!
His Leaf of Power system, because it has 361 Resonators of the Dimensional Principles, is equivalent to having 361 high-level Rangers.

It's just that Locke's botanical magic system, potion magic system, and archaeological magic system haven't been integrated into this symbol system and organically merged with this planar principle response system. Therefore, Locke doesn't actually meet the conditions for advancing to the Star Ring.

He was still too young, and his great magic had not been properly honed.

But at this moment, Locke was indeed extremely close to becoming a Star Ring Wizard, about to ascend to the Star Ring at such a young age.

A demonic peach fell from the sky, and then that demonic peach crushed the dimensional barrier between the Demon Wolf Hell and the mortal world. With a 'crack' sound, like a thunderclap, the entire dimensional barrier suddenly collapsed.

The wolf incarnation looked up at Locke in a panic.

Locke, Hussein, and Henry walked toward him from outside the Demon Wolf Hell.

Although the actual magical pressure of the wolf avatar was also 19,999, and it was extremely close to the star ring, its main body was dead, and its soul did not even have a permanent defensive force field.

His ultimate magic was imbued with divinity by the divine eye of the Persepolis gods, almost turning it into the Persepolis gods' realm entirely. Therefore, he could not fully utilize his ultimate magic.

Therefore, although both sides are under the same level of demonic pressure, their situations are worlds apart.

Like the rising sun in the morning;
One is like the setting sun about to descend.

Even if the two are highly similar at this moment, how can they be compared to each other?

The demon wolf avatar was in a state of utter panic. Before the world barrier shattered, he was eager to fight Locke again, hoping to find an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and dig out those fragments of the cave world, and then immediately head towards the sea realm.

Fighting is not the goal, but merely a means necessary to achieve it.

Therefore, he doesn't need to defeat Locke; he just needs to find an opportunity to advance to the Star Ring Wizard level.

But now, facing Locke standing at the gates of the Demon Wolf Hell, his wolf eyes suddenly shrank.

The demon wolf avatar hesitated for a moment, and did not directly transform into a demon wolf and rush out to fight Locke as he had thought, and desperately pursue the advancement of the star ring.

At this moment, he directly invoked the principles of hell and activated the fires of hell.

His figure grew as tall and large as a mountain. He sat on the ground, gazing up at the entrance to the world like a sphinx.

He unleashed a wave of hellfire towards the entrance, hoping to frighten the three and prevent them from entering the Demon Wolf Hell.

This enormous, towering demonic wolf roared like thunder, causing the very laws of hell to tremble.

"The Demon Wolf Hell is the realm of the dead; the living are forbidden to enter."

“Even if you are wizards, you must abide by the rules here.”

At the entrance to the Demon Wolf Hell, Locke's eyes were calm. "Gregory Newman."

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Demon Wolves, because he had never told Locke his real name, which was the name he used in the Southern Witch Capital.

The Lord of the Demon Wolves remembered the scene of him teaching at the wizarding academy in the southern wizarding capital.

It seems completely different then than it is now.

how many years?

He almost lost his sense of time in the wizarding world here; a strange sense of weightlessness, as if he were far from home and wasting his time, struck him.

The Lord of the Demon Wolf wasn't surprised that Locke knew his name, because he immediately realized that Locke was probably a second-circle potion master. If Locke knew how to concoct name potions, he could extract the essence from another person's name to obtain that name. Since a name is the outermost edge of a person's hidden true form, extracting the essence from a person's name is almost the simplest thing.

When the Lord of the Demon Wolves saw the old pirate Henry trying to enter the Demon Wolves Hell, he was immediately forced back by the raging hellfire and forced to leave the Demon Wolves Hell.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Will these three second-ring wizards choose to abandon the Wolf Hell due to its unique planar attributes and instead attack the Celestial Realm?
The Lord of the Demon Wolves immediately looked at Locke, his heart pounding in his chest. He saw Locke with his hands behind his back, his body slightly shifting as he took a step forward.

Locke sighed.

“Gregory Newman, you have disappointed me. I thought you would be more troublesome. But I didn’t expect you to have been around these people for so long that you’ve started to think of yourself as one of them.”

"You actually intend to use the principles of planes to resist me."

“Gregory Newman, you have completed the Star Forging of Great Magic, but you are unable to exert your magic power because you are in a special half-dead state. So the best choice for you now is not to stay in the Demon Wolf Hell, but to create an opportunity and go to the mortal world at all costs.”

"Obtain the fragments of the Garden Paradise that I scattered across the earth, and then find a way to gather the final resources for advancement. Have you not heard the saying, 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening'?"

Locke gave him a deliberately regretful look.

"It seems that you no longer have the pursuit of truth in your heart."

The demon wolf incarnate involuntarily took half a step back.

His figure no longer appeared immensely large and majestic due to the manifestation of the principles of hell; he even began to appear timid and insignificant.

Locke succinctly revealed his change in mindset; upon hearing the unfamiliar name Gregory Newman, the wolf incarnation suddenly lost his composure.

Locke said, "Although those fragments were a trap I deliberately set for you, I didn't expect you to lack even the courage to step out of this hell. With what can you possibly use to advance to the Star Ring level?"

Gregory Newman completely broke down; his mentality became utterly unstable.

He suddenly remembered the version of himself that had become unfamiliar.

The person I once was, who embarked on a perilous voyage through the void in pursuit of truth, was so resolute back then.

Even when he had no money in his pocket, he dared to mortgage his assets to get a loan from the Fairy Family Bank in order to travel through the void.

What for?
Isn't the purpose of this to "hear the Way in the morning, and be content to die in the evening"?
But what about today?

He clearly had the opportunity to become a Star Ring Wizard, but he hesitated. He had been a local tyrant here for hundreds of years, and he felt that staying here was not so bad. He felt that maintaining the current status quo was in his best interest and was acceptable to him.

So, he actually relied on the hellish principles of this world to try and make the three second-circle wizards outside retreat on their own.

Upon examining his conscience, he experienced a mental breakdown. The hellish power within the entire Demon Wolf Hell surged and shifted, with hellfire constantly circulating, reflecting the intense turmoil within its master's heart.

At that very moment, the wolf avatar suddenly sensed danger. He immediately realized that he shouldn't have let Locke's words shake his resolve in front of such a formidable enemy, almost causing him to break down.

The next moment, a golden spear transformed into lightning and fire, flashing past him.

"Oh no. No, it's too late to use shapeshifting magic to dodge."

The demon wolf avatar was pinned to the ground of the Demon Wolf Hell by the Golden Fern Spear.

At the same time, an ice plum blossom appeared at the end of the Golden Fern Spear, which was a plum blossom of the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum.

He had previously used the second-circle Transfiguration spell, the Body Hole Transfiguration Charm, to transform the holes in his body and evade attacks.

But at this moment, he could no longer use this move to escape the power of the Golden Fern Spear.

Because of the winter magic of a large, crystal-clear winter plum blossom, the part of his body that had been nailed to the ground was sealed away. "Damn it. I've fallen for their trap."

"Even if I'm not in good condition, I'm under the same magical pressure as him, so I shouldn't be so easily injured by him."

The demon wolf was terrified. It began to move, and wings formed from five fingers grew from its back. It struggled on the ground, and the wings twisted.

"Give me time, and I can use transformation magic to resolve this winter magic."

"Just give me time!"

"I can transform into a priest monkey and use the countless wronged souls and hellfire of the Demon Wolf Hell to wage a war of attrition against him. I might not necessarily lose..."

The next moment, the mountain-sized golden peach that Locke had previously thrown into the Demon Wolf Hell suddenly provided life energy to the Golden Fern Spear and the Ice Plum Wheel stuck in his waist.

In this way, the power of both magical plants is enhanced.

"To be intertwined like branches on the same branch?"

The demon wolf's avatar widened its eyes.

"Did he drop that magic peach back then not just to break through the crystal wall system, but also for this moment?"

"He had the entire battle under his control from beginning to end!"

The demon wolf avatar suddenly felt a sense of being pushed forward by the waves of the Yangtze River.

Among the young people he had met in his time, there seemed to be none as outstanding as this young wizard.

The wolf avatar felt a deep-seated fear of the wizarding world, and he even felt that returning to the wizarding world would fill him with dread.

Even if he goes back now, can he really keep up with the times?

Locke, at the entrance to the Demon Wolf Hell, flipped his left hand, and a model of the [Tree of Prosperity] spell appeared in his palm, operating at its maximum potential.

May a miracle of prosperity bless the golden dragon claw pineapple in your hand.

Thus, this golden dragon claw pineapple retains a portion of the residual energy from the changing seasons.

Throughout the cycle of the four seasons, life energy is not always at its peak; it can also be at its lowest.

One's own Tree of Prosperity can cause the energy of a magical plant to change with the seasons through the cycle of the four seasons—the energy cycle of the power of Mist—resulting in a higher energy utilization rate for the magical plant within this cycle.

The Tree of Prosperity can briefly utilize this excess energy, allowing the energy of a magical plant to exist in a state between reality and illusion when it is used.

That is, one magical plant can turn into two plants in a short period of time.

This is the first miracle of one's own tree of prosperity!
However, his current ultimate magic is not fully completed because half of his body has not yet returned, so he can only barely replicate a second-ring magic plant at this moment.

At this moment, Locke used the Tree of Prosperity to directly replicate the Golden Dragon Claw Pineapple in his hand.

He adorned his feet with golden dragon claw pineapples and simultaneously activated a real crystal to record the scene.

Locke stepped directly onto the Wolf Hell, which Hussein and Henry could not approach!
The hellfire transformed into a tide that crashed towards him, but the Golden Dragon Claw Air Pineapple stepped on the hellfire tide like a pair of spiked shoes.

He walked as if on flat ground.

The 'dragon claws' of these golden dragon claw wizard shoes, which are strong imaginary roots, were driven into the sea of ​​hellfire like nails, but because of the golden magic, they could not sink into the sea of ​​fire.

Thus, Locke, despite being a living person, was able to walk freely in this incredibly dangerous world of the dead.

No matter how the Hellfire Tide rises and falls, Locke always walks steadily on this sea of ​​Hellfire.

After walking on the sea of ​​hellfire, the Golden Dragon Claw Air Pineapple itself did not change. Instead, its strong imaginary roots pierced into the hellfire, allowing it to slowly draw energy from the foundation of this upper plane, although it could not draw much at all.

However, a strong imaginary root has one advantage: it can take root in the foundation of this higher plane and then make itself as stable as a mountain.

In this way, one will neither be pushed out by the hellfire nor be overwhelmed by it.

The Golden Dragon Claw Air Plant's surface turned deep red and became quite hot under the scorching heat of countless hellfires, but such a change was nothing to a second-circle wizard.

So it's as if nothing happened.

Old Henry tried to keep up with Locke, but as soon as he stepped into the Demon Wolf Hell, a tongue of fire shot out from the hellfire beneath his feet. The intense heat forced him to shield his face with his right hand, and then he was pushed away by the hellfire.

Hussein was speechless when he saw this.

'Could it be that Locke paid him? He's putting on such a show in front of the camera.'

Hussein attempted to take a step into the Wolf Hell, without wearing any wizard shoes.

The next moment, his soul seemed to smell sulfur, and his entire soul was under high temperature. His soul power was suddenly attacked by hellfire.

That was the Demon Wolf Hell resisting the arrival of this living being!

Hussein's expression changed slightly as a ball of hellfire rushed towards him, forcing him to retreat from the Demon Wolf Hell due to the intense heat.

"The true form of a vampire!"

Hussein used his immense magic, and a pair of ram horns resembling those of a demon king sprouted from his head. He also displayed the characteristics of both a werewolf and a vampire. Relying on the powerful physique constructed from the organizational power of his Blood Ancestor true form, he forcibly stepped into the Hellfire.

The next moment, it was as if his feet had nowhere to land, and he fell straight down into it.

Locke glanced back at him.

Hussein, on the other hand, seemed to be falling endlessly, continuously descending under the influence of the Hellish Principles and the effects of the Demon Wolf.

"Locke, don't worry about me."

Hussein realized that he had indeed underestimated the Demon Wolf Hell. He felt as if he were standing on cotton with no solid ground. Although the hellfire could not burn through his Blood Ancestor True Body, it left him with no foothold, as if he had fallen into the earth's core and was completely powerless to support himself.

It's impossible for Locke to walk on the Hellfire Hell floor as easily as he does with the Golden Dragon Claw Air Pineapple Wizard Shoes.

It seems that those pure magic plant wizard shoes really did play a significant role.

On the other side, Locke glanced back at Hussein, who had accidentally fallen into the deep space of the Demon Wolf Hell, but didn't seem to care much.

With his abilities, even if he's caught off guard and falls into a trap, it shouldn't be a big deal. In fact, it might even help him develop the good habit of wearing wizard shoes.

For Hussein, this was likely the first time he had ever experienced dimensional exploration.

Locke walked toward the wolf avatar, which was pinned to the ground by his own Sea Gold Sand Fern Spear and sealed by the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum. His transformation energy was being mobilized in vain, but it only turned into magical sparks that drifted into the air.

The wolf avatar looked at Locke in terror as he approached from a distance. "Wait a minute. I've been operating in the Wolf Hell for hundreds of years, and I know many secrets of the Persepolis gods. If you and I join forces, that guy can be wiped out with a snap of our fingers."

“I own property at the Southern Witch Capital, Holnoch Academy. I can transfer that property in the Southern Witch Capital to you…”

Locke raised his left hand, and a tree of prosperity appeared in his palm.

The Tree of Prosperity, having been transformed by its own half over a thousand years, has long since become a botanical attack magic.

　I originally intended to finish writing 10,000 words, but my head is just too dizzy. I'll write 15,700 words today, and post the remaining 6,000 tomorrow during the day. The author is going to sleep now.
