Simultaneously traversing: the pinnacle of all realms

Chapter 17 Magic, what exactly is it?

That night, after a period of cozy time together, Xavier was gently rubbed by Beth, and his father Darren also came over to rub his head and touch the antlers on his head.

Back in his room, after turning on the light and responding to Beth's urging to go to bed early, Xavier stared at the open books and pondered a question:

How can I increase my power to protect my family? And what about my counterparts in other worlds—they also need my power, but what can I share with them?

And among these, the most fundamental question is:

What is the source of my power, or that of a wizard?

-

In this world, magic power is categorized differently from mana bars or spell slots.

Magic is more like an innate talent of a wizard, a skill that needs constant refinement. It is inherited through bloodlines, but it is not simply a matter of "pure-blooded being the strongest." Moreover, magic is essentially a powerful and extremely idealistic force, closely related to a wizard's emotions, will, and spirit.

But many magical items also possess magic.

The growth of magical power is like building muscle; extensive and repetitive practice of spells allows wizards to better control their own magical power, making spellcasting smoother and more reliable. Harry's intensive practice of the "Summoning Charm" in the original books is the best example.

Moreover, the growth of magic power often accompanies the maturation of a wizard's body, so the time when young wizards are growing physically is also the time when their magic power increases the fastest.

Using magic to cast spells primarily consumes a wizard's mental focus and physical strength. After multiple high-intensity spellcasting sessions, a wizard will feel extremely exhausted. However, wizards are not limited by the number of times they can cast spells; theoretically, the number of times they can cast spells in a day depends solely on their mental and physical condition.

Therefore, the most fundamental and simplest way to restore magic power is through sleep and rest.

So, will training your body and improving your physical strength increase your magical power?

It's probably possible.

This was Xavier's recollection of an analysis of the Harry Potter world by a prominent figure from his past life on a popular online forum.

Thinking of this, he had an idea, so he quickly sat up, took out a piece of paper and pen, and began to write and draw.

So, theoretically speaking, although it is not directly stated in the original work, potions such as power-boosting potions and invigorating potions have an auxiliary effect on physical recovery, and should also indirectly help wizards recover their condition after exhaustion.

Similarly, healing magic like "Healing" primarily affects the physical body, but it can quickly repair physical injuries and allow wizards to recover from fatigue more quickly.

"Isn't this the effect of mana potions and mana regeneration skills?" Xavier paused, his pen poised.

Swish swish swish~

He crossed out all the messy stuff he had written before.

So the first goal is clear—to train the body, practice spells, and increase magical power.

-

If magic power is a basic numerical value, then magic is a skill.

"Magic is a miracle!"

Xavier had this thought pop into his head.

Indeed, the existence of magic is itself an incredible thing, capable of turning the impossible into the possible.

Therefore, the second goal is to learn more magical spells and practice them to a high level—such as silent and wandless spellcasting—which will also help Xavier understand the nature of magic.

Thinking of this, Xavier turned to look at the wand placed on the bedside table.

A wand is a sophisticated tool that helps a wizard stabilize, focus, and control their magic, but it also seems to have a consciousness—just as some wands betray their owners, and some die with their owners.

Was it a creature created by a wizard? Or did it simply possess basic intelligence?

"Never mind," Xavier shook his head, "These things are too far removed from my life right now. I'll look into them later if I can."

Potions, ancient runes...

As he wrote, Xavier stopped writing. "Was I too hasty?"

He looked at the messy piece of paper he had written on, then at the small bell beside him, and realized it was already 11 p.m.

"Sleep! Sleep is the most important thing in the world! Children who stay up late will not grow tall!"

It would be terrible if someone died suddenly at a young age.

Xavier dropped his pen, turned off the light, and crawled into bed.

……

Xavier turned and entered the shared space, where he saw Wu Lin Lü Ze and Hong Mao Lu Ze already communicating.

Xavier stepped forward, ready to share, when he heard Wu Lin Lü Ze say, "So, that ice bird is sticking with you?"

"Icebird? What icebird?" Xavier was puzzled. Where was the story going?

Xavier nudged Rainbow Cat Deer Choice, who was sitting silently to the side. After sharing his memories, he finally understood what had happened.

After encountering the Ice Bird in the Cloud Piercing Cave, and seeing that the Ice Bird didn't attack, Rainbow Cat and his companions explained what had happened. Seeing that they had overcome numerous obstacles to reach this place, the Ice Bird pushed the fake "Medical Compendium of Salvation" aside and handed the real one to Rainbow Cat.

However, they discovered that the box was covered in a deadly poison, which perfectly countered the poison from the black stone at the bottom of the river that Rainbow Cat had been poisoned with. The two poisons neutralized each other, and Rainbow Cat even gained some benefits from it.

After all, a peerless poison is also a peerless treasure, which can be considered another kind of reward.

The layout of the Cloud Piercing Cave requires those who are proficient in both martial arts and medicine to obtain the true, unparalleled medical book.

If one enters through unorthodox means, one will only obtain a fake medical book containing the "cry-laughing powder." Even if one can discern the authenticity of the medical book and defeat the Ice Bird to obtain the real medical book, one will still be poisoned to death by the deadly poison contained in the real medical book.

After DouDou collected the poison "Crying and Laughing Powder" from the fake medical book, the three of them were preparing to leave the cave to support LanTu.

However, the Ice Bird became attached to Lu Ze, pressing him for the method of transforming spirit beasts into humans. Even though Lu Ze truthfully admitted that he didn't know, the Ice Bird still followed him reluctantly. As a result, they gained a 'martial arts master' comparable to Rainbow Cat.

After leaving the cave, they directly attacked Zhu Wujie, who was already struggling to hold on against the combined attacks of Lan Tu, Sally, and Da Ben, leaving him severely injured and forcing him to flee alone.

If it weren't for Zhu Wujie's cunning, and Rainbow Cat and the others' fear of being caught by the Demonic Sect if they rashly pursued him, this dignified fourth hall master of the Demonic Sect would probably have met his end here.

Finally, the divine doctor DouDou also confessed that he was the master of the Rain Flower Sword. In order to achieve the fusion of the seven swords as soon as possible, he had been waiting for everyone to come to him. However, because he did not trust HongMao and the others for the time being, and he really wanted to stop the Demonic Sect and become a true divine doctor with the help of the "Medical Canon for Saving the World", he came up with this plan.

"So, as long as Black Tiger doesn't send his army to capture you personally, you're basically safe now. Even Black Tiger, who can withstand the combined power of four swords, can't."

Wu Lin Lü Ze crossed his arms and said, "In that case, all you need to do is find the remaining seven sword inheritors and confront Black Heart Tiger... Wait, doesn't that mean we're almost at the end of the story?"

"Hmm," Rainbow Cat Deer Ze sat down, appearing less tense than before. "Now we just have to wait for Rainbow Cat and the others to grow up..."
