Chapter 271 Mastering the Art of Dream Travel (First Update)

"You are my disciple in name only, so you don't need to call me Master like other disciples. You can just call me Ancient One."

Gu Yi took the tea, took a small sip, and placed it aside. She then used her spatial magic to pull out an ancient-looking spellbook.

"This is the Book of Vishanti. Open it, and you can find the dream-walking technique you desire within."

"This is the Book of Vishanti!"

Seeing the Book of Vishanti in the Ancient One's hand, Hawking didn't immediately take it. Instead, his eyes darted around, and he smiled as he said to the Ancient One:

"Although it's only in name, we are still teacher and student. I, Hawking, respect my teachers the most. I think I should call you teacher from now on, and you can just call me Hawking."

"If you don't mind, that's fine too."

Gu Yi smiled and handed the Book of Vishan to Hawking.

The closer Hawking gets to Kamar-Taj, the higher Stephen's chances of survival will be in the future, which she would naturally be happy to see.

Hawking reached out and took the Book of Vishanti, but instead of opening it, he chuckled and handed it back to the Ancient One.

"Teacher, you see, my skill in magic is too low. I'm afraid that even if I see the Dreamwalking Technique, I won't be able to learn it."

How about this, teacher, you take a look and then teach me, okay?

Since the Dark Book is connected to Sithor's mental world, and viewing the Dark Book will affect Sithor, then the Vishanti Technique is connected to Vishanti's mental world, and viewing the Vishanti Book will affect Vishanti.

Although Vishanti represents the side of justice, there are some things that cannot be ignored.

His current power is far inferior to that of those dimensional demons. He would not want to be affected, even if it affected his alignment with the side of justice.

Justice and evil, right and wrong, should be judged by his own will. If he is influenced, he is no different from a puppet.

That's why he wanted the Ancient One to see it, and then have her teach him, so that he could avoid being influenced by the Vishanti's spirit.

He had actually considered before whether to find someone to read the Dark Book and then have that person teach it to him after learning the Dreamwalking Technique.

But he quickly rejected it.

Because ordinary people can't learn the art of dreamwalking even if they read the Dark Book; only people who understand magic can do it, like Wanda or Doctor Strange.

But such people are hard to find, and even if you do find them, they are hard to control. Moreover, if such a person really learns the art of dream travel, it might trigger all sorts of crises that are beyond his plans.

Now that the Dark Book has become the Book of Vishanti, things are different.

Moreover, the Ancient One happened to become his nominal teacher. In terms of magic, how many people in the world can compare to the Ancient One? Besides, she was originally skilled at teaching apprentices.

Once the Ancient One learns it, it's only a matter of time before he learns it too.

He doesn't need to worry about what the Ancient One will do after learning the art of dream travel, because she doesn't even need the art of dream travel to travel through the multiverse.

Now it all depends on whether the Ancient One is willing or not.

"Since you've already called me teacher, then naturally I should teach you."

Seeing the Book of Vishanti handed back again, the Ancient One smiled knowingly, as if she had seen through Hawking's thoughts. She then nodded and opened the Book of Vishanti.

Ten minutes later, the Ancient One closed the Book of Vishanti again and placed her index finger on Hawking's forehead:

"This is the art of dream travel. I'm giving you all my insights as a gift from your teacher."

Sensing all the knowledge and insights about the art of dream travel that were transmitted into his spiritual world from between his eyebrows, Hawking slowly closed his eyes and began to digest them.

Seeing Hawking close his eyes, Kouichi stood up and said to Kaguya Otsutsuki:

"He might need some time. I have to leave now. Tell him he can wander around Kamar-Taj when he wakes up."

"it is good."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded.

Two hours later, Hawking opened his eyes again.

"Now I owe them a huge favor."

He has already mastered the art of dream travel.

Moreover, he has not only mastered the art of dream travel, but he has also gained a basic understanding of the fundamental magic system and theories of the Marvel universe.

The knowledge that the Ancient One passed on to his spiritual world was not only the art of dream travel, but also a lot of related basic magical theories.

Without this basic theoretical knowledge, it would be impossible for him to master it on his own in less than three to five years, even with the help of shadow clones.

It's important to know that the art of dream travel is not some basic magic.

However, the dream-walking technique taught by the Ancient One requires the power of the Vishanti to be used, and he does not want to borrow the power of the Vishanti.

So when he got back, he still wanted to try to make some modifications and use his magic to activate the spell.

"Then let's lend a hand when our future junior brother is in trouble!"

He owes Gu Yi a considerable favor for learning the art of dream travel so quickly.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't have anything he could do to repay the Ancient One.

Having grown tired of her work as the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One will pass the position to Doctor Strange in a few years before following in the footsteps of eternity.

What he can offer is probably useless to the other party.

Then he thought of Doctor Strange.

In the normal course of events, Doctor Strange in this world would be executed by the Illuminati for reading the Dark Book.

Or more precisely, it was because he read the Dark Book that another universe was destroyed, and out of guilt, he willingly accepted his execution.

If he could change Doctor Strange's fate, it would be a way of repaying the Ancient One.

On the other side, the Ancient One, who was using the Time Stone to predict the future, suddenly showed a relieved smile.

"The future... has finally changed."

Of the countless futures she now sees, most are developing in a positive direction.

"Then let's go to the library. Now that we have basic magical knowledge of this world, we can understand those magic books."

After learning about the Ancient One's message from Kaguya, Hawking got up and walked out of the hall.

Kamar-Taj's library contains the world's most complete collection of magic books, making it the best place to study magic in the Marvel universe.

Anyway, he's now nominally Gu Yi's disciple, and Gu Yi said he can wander around freely.

"Stephen Hawking's junior brother!"

Seeing Hawking push open the door and walk out of the hall, Mordo quickly went up to greet him:

"The Venerable Master will be back in a while. Where do you want to go? I can take you there."

To be honest, he was also very surprised that Hawking had suddenly become his junior.

Moreover, he discovered that his teacher, the Ancient One, also held this junior brother Hawking in higher regard than he had imagined.

He just had his senior brother personally watch over the hall to prevent anyone from entering and disturbing it.

He also instructed him to take Hawking to any part of Kamar-Taj he wished to visit.

It seems they're grooming Stephen Hawking to be the next Sorcerer Supreme.
