Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"The data from these Pillars of Quiris... is completely inconsistent with the overall structure of the underground!"

Suddenly, Tyke raised his head, his voice full of certainty.

The data transmitted back by each of the Pillars of Quiris are not isolated; they are interconnected and together depict every inch of the structure beneath the Blood Domain.

Therefore, even though these data points were well disguised, they still could not escape his observation.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Someone has tampered with the data on these Pillars of Quiris!"

Upon hearing this, the young wizard opposite him immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"What?!"

On the other side, Tek had already laid out the data charts on the table in front of him. With a wave of his hand, he swept the drawings that were placed on the bookshelf to his front.

This is the blueprint recorded by the Golden Crown on the Blood Domain's underground when the Oren Plane was first explored.

He bent down and carefully compared it with the above, and soon confirmed his earlier guess.

"Holin, quickly inform the Watchers leader and have him lead a team to investigate these areas!"

Then, he suddenly shouted in a low voice.

"The data in these areas has clearly been manipulated and concealed; there's definitely something wrong!"

……

Meanwhile, in the very center of the mainland...

Within the central area surrounded by the Holy Wall, in addition to the five major areas each of the five ring families governs, there exists a small and extremely special area.

It is the very center of the continent in a geographical sense, and is firmly surrounded by five major regions.

Yet here stands the pinnacle of the entire Oren plane's power structure—the Golden Crown.

Just as its name suggests, the stronghold of the Golden Crown is composed of five interlocking golden rings.

Each giant ring symbolizes a family of five rings.

They are the most magnificent enchanted buildings in the Oren plane; even the smallest one is enough to cover the entire City of Radiance.

Moreover, these five colossal objects are suspended 10,000 meters above the ground in this area year-round, overlooking the entire Maranseur.

And it is said that the only way to the Wizarding World—the "teleporter"—is sealed here...

"Waaah—waaah—"

Today, the five golden behemoths still float in the air, overlooking the entire land.

They emitted intense golden light particles all around them, which converged at the bottom into a dazzling stream of light that lifted upwards.

As for the interior of the giant ring, it is a complex area with various structures. The interior space of a single ring is no less than that of a wizarding academy.

Meanwhile, within the very center of the giant ring, the patriarchs of the five major families are secretly holding a meeting…

In a huge golden hall, five blurry figures sat around a round table, on which sat a crystal ball.

"Buzz..."

But the next moment, the inside of the crystal ball began to glow slightly, and then five translucent spiritual tentacles extended from it.

The next second, each of the five tentacles reached into a phantom, and a strange connection quietly formed between them.

"Buzz...buzz..."

These tentacles are actually a medium for transmitting information, capable of transferring the memories of one individual into the minds of others.

As for these five illusory figures, they are phantoms projected by the clan leaders.

At this moment, they are transmitting memories from their minds to each other through their mental tendrils connected to themselves.

As soon as the Black Ring Crown reappeared, the patriarchs of the five major families immediately held a secret meeting.

After that, they each used their own methods to search for clues throughout the Oren plane.

This is because they no longer trust any of their subordinates, not even their own families.

The reason for this is Leibts' "defection" at that time, which precisely confirms the fact that there is a mole within the Golden Ring.

After all, Leibtz, bound by the eternal contract, could not possibly betray them alive.

(Mentioned in Chapter 391)

Therefore, the one who revealed the true purpose of the final trial to the Black Ring must have been someone else!

"Buzz..."

After a long while, the crystal ball gradually dimmed, and the five spiritual tentacles quietly broke their connection and dissipated in the hall.

"..."

After a moment of silence, one of the phantom figures finally swayed slightly and emitted a clearly synthesized sound:

"Lord Rhoda, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure opposite him immediately swayed:

"Theronnil, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

This is also a synthesized voice, and it's even exactly the same as the voice of the person from before.

"The five of us have each shared the information we've gathered. Of course, I've shared the most information with you, haven't I?"

"Oh, yes."

At this moment, the illusory figure sitting next to Rhoda suddenly said:

"Of course you know more, Rhoda. After all, the most suspicious kid is from your family, and besides, that tragedy happened at the Wanling Spire back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom of Rhoda stood up.

"Buzz—! Buzz buzz buzz—!!!"

The next moment, a blinding light suddenly burst forth from his phantom, the seemingly ordinary light bringing with it a series of elemental roars.

"What are you trying to say, Priscilla?"

At this moment, even if it were just a blurry phantom, one could feel a clear and overwhelming rage emanating from it.

"My two most valued heirs are dead... killed by the Black-Ringed Crown."

As they were talking, the burst of light not only didn't diminish but increased, and then pressed down on Prisili's phantom.

"And you, you actually suspect me?!"

On the other side, Prisli did not back down in the face of the elemental pressure emanating from Rhoda.

The next moment, several solid, pitch-black tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and instantly shattered the incoming intense light.

"Heh, we all know you have no hope of reaching level three, so what's the point of raising that youngest son?"

Pusil smiled, his words full of sarcasm.

"None of us have seen his body. What if you're just using Black Ring to imprison your spare body?"

"you--!"

Just as the two were arguing, another illusory figure suddenly spoke up to stop them.

"Alright! Stop arguing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint crimson gas erupted.

"Whoosh...!! Whoosh!"

In an instant, both the light and the tentacles turned to ashes.

He is the current patriarch of the Wormire family—"Raging Flame" Frossis Wormire.

"..."

After calming their anger, Frossis said in a deep voice:

"What we should be discussing now are these suspects."

He paused briefly, then looked at the phantom representing Rhoda:

"And Lord Rhoda, your family's Valerius is no exception."
