With a single step, she seemed to shrink the distance between the two meters in the blink of an eye, arriving in front of Lu Yunmeng.
Gu Yi reached out and touched the cheek of the person in front of her with a puzzled look, as if to confirm something. After a short while, she lowered her hand.
"Your existence doesn't affect the sacred timeline, yet I can't see the underlying principle."
Gu Yi's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly.
In fact, Lu Yunmeng had already spotted this 'uninvited guest' when she arrived over the Himalayas.
She initially thought it was some superhuman passing by or stumbling upon the place, but when she used her time-travel ability to check the other person's information, she was instantly astonished.
As the Sorcerer Supreme who had guarded the magical dimension for hundreds of years, she was unable to find out the origin of the other party.
It's as if some unseen, powerful force suddenly altered the rules of the universe, making this person's existence perfectly reasonable.
On the contrary, if this person disappears, reality will no longer be reasonable, just like a complete jigsaw puzzle where each piece is indispensable.
Unprecedented and unparalleled, with no clear origins in sight and no foreseeable future, the road ahead is shrouded in mystery.
“Ancient One, I’m sorry, I don’t think I belong to this world.”
Lu Yunmeng did not dodge the outstretched hand, nor did she resist. After thinking for a long time, she decided to tell the truth.
She didn't want to deceive the person in front of her, nor could she deceive the powerful Sorcerer Supreme.
"Since you admit it, where do you come from?"
Gu Yi smiled and asked with a smirk.
"Well, it's a world similar to Earth, with similar mountains, rivers, landforms, and weather, but the timeline is completely different."
Lu Yunmeng answered honestly.
"Parallel multiverses, is that right? No, you have no origin, so you shouldn't exist in other multiverses either."
"Or rather, I cannot see your root cause with my abilities."
Gu Yi tilted her head and looked him up and down, saying somewhat uncertainly.
Even if it comes from other universes, it cannot be without a trace. The only answer is that it exists in a world beyond the multiverse.
"I am telling the truth, but it is not your multiverse, or rather, everything is different, yet very similar."
Lu Yun wanted to explain, but the more she tried, the more confused she became, so she simply gave up.
Her understanding of dimensions, space, time, the universe, and parallel worlds is limited to conversation.
In a true sense, she should belong to the humans behind the fourth wall, the world that created all the heavens and myriad realms.
There are only ordinary people there, no superpowers or mutations, but they can weave dazzling and wonderful dream worlds, and it is no exaggeration to call them creators.
Unfortunately, she's not good at that. Let alone drawing comics, she struggles to even make up a story. All she can do is tell the story of "Once upon a time, there was a mountain."
Gu Yi showed an expression of "I knew it," nodded, and then asked with a smile:
"So, traveler from another dimension, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Lu Yunmeng was thinking about how to state her purpose. Kamar-Taj was not a refugee camp, and the Ancient One was not a pushover who would readily accept anyone who came.
In the movie, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange came here because the Ancient One had foreseen his future and was the strongest candidate destined to become the next Sorcerer Supreme, but she was not.
“I came to Kamar-Taj to seek help from the wise and to learn the secret arts,” Lu Yunmeng said after a long silence, trying to remain calm.
"You want to become stronger? Fine." Gu Yi smiled, noticing Lu Yunmeng's surprised expression, then paused before continuing, "Do you think I would refuse you?"
"Yes, Ancient One, after all, I am not from this world."
"Appearing here rashly might disrupt the existing order, such as your future disciple, the next Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange."
Lu Yunmeng nodded, deciding to share some of the things she knew to test the waters.
"Ah, you still remember Strange, but that was nine years later."
Gu Yi smiled slightly, appearing completely at ease, showing no surprise that the other party knew about the future.
"You are truly a great sage," Lu Yunmeng said sincerely in admiration.
The Ancient One's abilities are far beyond those of ordinary sorcerers; she possesses great wisdom, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to protect Earth for hundreds of years.
"I don't know your true purpose, nor do I know where you're headed in the future."
"Although you seem like a good child, you should know that mages never judge gain or loss based on good or evil."
"I hope my decision won't cause a disaster for the world."
Gu Yi shook her head and said helplessly.
"I'm just someone who wants to live," Lu Yunmeng said calmly and earnestly, without offering any further explanation.
There was another purpose she didn't say aloud: she wanted to go home, back to her real hometown, but it would be too absurd to say it now, and there was no need to.
"I hope you can find the answers you're looking for here, child. Kamar-Taj welcomes you."
Ancient One had a kind expression, put away the Ring of Raghadore, and said in a friendly manner.
"Thank you for your generosity." Lu Yunmeng nodded and bowed respectfully.
“Let’s begin and learn about the nature of magic.” The Ancient One took a few steps back and waved her hand to summon the Mirror Dimension.
Looking at the transparent wall that resembled crystal, Lu Yunmeng showed an expectant expression, filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge about the secret technique.
However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Gu Yi tried to use a secret technique to draw Lu Yunmeng's soul out of her body, but was somewhat surprised to find that no matter how much dimensional energy she mobilized, the young girl in front of her could not achieve the separation of her soul from her body.
Lu Yunmeng is like a stubborn rock, tightly bound to the body. You can feel it, but you can't pull it off. It's unbelievable!
“Your body seems to be different. No one’s soul can achieve a 100% compatibility with their body, but you have.”
Gu Yi frowned, groped around, and said with some difficulty.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation. In theory, it didn't matter whether a person had any secret arts talent or not; she could make the other person feel the power of another dimension.
The real and spiritual realms cannot be perfectly aligned; there are always tiny, invisible gaps that can be exploited. Even the most resilient soul can be drawn out through secret methods.
But faced with the facts, even the Ancient One was somewhat helpless.
Lu Yunmeng was also dumbfounded. What was going on? She stood there and took a whole set of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and then nothing happened. Was this some kind of joke?!
“I can sense that your physical body is extremely powerful, even more powerful than the Asgardians of the Nine Realms.”
"I cannot draw your soul out. Unfortunately, this means that you do not lack magical talent, but rather that magic is not an option for you."
Gu Yi finally shook her head and said regretfully that she really wanted to see what kind of future the person in front of her could create, but she failed at the very first step.
If it's just a lack of magical talent, she can still guide it. But if there's no right to use magic at all, it's as if that talent doesn't exist at all.
It's like how one person can digest food through their stomach, but another person doesn't have a stomach and can't even eat—it's simply unbelievable!
Could this young woman not be human?
Lu Yunmeng looked down at her hands, thinking to herself, "Could it be because of the system? This is ridiculous! Don't eat pickled radishes!"
She brought up the system panel, checked the data, and suddenly noticed a change!
At the very bottom of all the ability data, the words "[Magic-Suppressing Physique]" appeared, leaving her dumbfounded!
What does that mean? I can't learn secret techniques?
Lu Yunmeng anxiously guided the system panel with her mental consciousness, and a line of explanation appeared below the Anti-Magic Physique:
Immune to magic, unable to learn any dimensional energy-related arcane arts, destined to be forever barred from magic.
"What the hell are you doing, System?!" Lu Yunmeng was on the verge of a breakdown! It wasn't there before, it only appeared after the Ancient One used Astral Projection to guide it.
This means the emotions have been activated!
Gu Yi looked at Lu Yunmeng apologetically; she hadn't expected such a problem to arise.
“Ancient One, I want to study the magic books and see if I can find another way.”
Lu Yunmeng thought about it for a long time, but in the end she was still unwilling to give up and decided to wait until she consulted magic books before making any plans.
She couldn't think of a way to quickly become stronger in the Marvel universe. Did she really have to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to steal the Infinity Stones?
The Ancient One hesitated, wanting to say that people without magical circuits could not learn magic, but at the same time, she felt a strange expectation. Perhaps the person in front of her could create a miracle?
"The library of Kamar-Taj will be open to you, and you can view any book, including black magic from the Dark Dimension."
Gu Yi made an inviting gesture and said with a smile.
Even if someone without the right to use magic views the Dark Book, they cannot establish a connection or contract; at most, it is just a written text. She was not worried at all.
Chapter 24 Awakening the Super Brain
One morning, the apprentice mages learning arcane arts in Kamar-Taj suddenly discovered that a new person had appeared in the sacred land.
A stunningly beautiful young woman with golden-brown wavy hair floated in mid-air above the Kamar-Taj Library, constantly flipping through magical books.
She wasn't dressed like a mage, but rather in a blue bodysuit and a red cloak, which attracted a lot of attention.
He arrives at the library before dawn every day, without fail, rain or shine.
Master Modu was responsible for training apprentice monks in secret techniques and martial arts, and he felt helpless because his students often lost focus.
This woman was so beautiful that even the apprentices who were focused on learning about dimensions couldn't help but be distracted, and even Mordo himself couldn't help but take a second look.
He once asked the Ancient One about his origins, and the answer he received was that everything remained the same and there was no need to do anything extra.
Left with no other choice, Mordo had to go to them in person.
Unfortunately, before I could even go up and ask, I was stopped by Wang, the library administrator.
“Master Modu, the Venerable One instructed that none of the mystical masters in the Holy Land should communicate with him.”
Wang spoke with a serious expression.
"My lord, who exactly is she?" Mordo asked, puzzled, finally voicing the question that had been troubling him for so long.
In his view, the young woman was not a sorcerer, but she was able to levitate in the air using energy from which no one could see.
Moreover, the ability to access the library's magical books without any hindrance fueled his curiosity to its peak.
"You can treat her like a tourist."
“Modu, you know that the Venerable One’s wisdom is beyond our comprehension.”
