What if you ascend to the wrong world?

"What I'm looking for is that Demon-Slaying General of the Dawn Empire, the descendant of the Ice Warrior, she..."

“I am Irenevit Etherland.”

Irene Vitte finally spoke, and even produced the token given to her by the Mage Guild—

A talisman engraved with special inscriptions.

Ivia: "..."

This guy is the legendary strongest hero of our time who slew the corrupted dragon, single-handedly stopped a million monsters, and severely injured three demon lords.

Looking at the aloof beauty in front of her, who seemed to be made of ice and snow, Ivia felt that her worldview had been shaken.

Where is the promised imposing and tall figure, standing three meters tall, drinking monster blood while eating, and capable of slapping down a corrupted dragon with a single blow?

Rumors should never be taken at face value...

“I’m usually fully armed with special equipment when I’m out in public, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize me.”

Out of respect for Ye Tu, Irene Wet explained.

Although she has a cooperative relationship with the Mage Association, she doesn't have a good impression of the mages in the association.

After all, he grew up in the Dawn Empire.

"But why would you...?"

"Alright, we'll talk about these things later," Ye Tu interrupted her. "Why did you come to see me so late?"

"Oh, oh!" Ivia realized.

Yes, yes, yes!

Regardless of whether someone is brave or not, the teacher's affairs are the most important.

"My teacher came out of the secret realm today, and I just got in touch with her..."

She explained the whole story in detail.

Of course, the trivial details, such as being threatened by Daphne to throw away the books under her bed, are omitted.

After explaining, she opened the briefcase and placed it in front of Ye Tu.

The crystal ball fragments vary in size, with some of the larger pieces appearing to have been scorched by high temperatures, showing signs of melting on their cross-sections.

They claimed it was made of high-temperature resistant material, and that it was drop-proof and impact-resistant, but it still exploded just sitting there.

Profiteer!

I'll sue you as soon as I get back!

Ye Tu picked up one of the pieces and examined it against the light.

"How is it? Does this thing have any defects?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that." Ye Tu shook his head slightly. "Although the craftsmanship of this thing is a bit rough, the design is very ingenious."

Put the fragments back into the suitcase.

"It's the jade slip I gave you that's the problem."

"But didn't you say I could show the contract to whoever I wanted?" Ivia asked, puzzled.

"I did say that, but that doesn't mean there's no danger." Ye Tu looked at the various pieces of debris in the box.

"If I'm not mistaken, your teacher was just communicating with you in the form of a 'mental projection'."

"And he even tried to analyze the material of the jade slip with his mental power, which is why he was burned."

The different rules of the world made it difficult for him to use many of the items he possessed.

The jade slip used for the contract was temporarily made by him using his divine sense.

However, his primordial spirit was pure and yang, and even the traces drawn by his divine thoughts were beyond the comprehension of those beings whose souls or spirits had not been completely transformed.

Not to mention that it's in a purely spiritual form like a 'spiritual projection,' lacking physical protection, it's no wonder it got injured.

“Then my teacher…” Ivia was getting a little anxious.

"Don't worry," Ye Tu waved his hand.

"This incident might not be a bad thing for her. At most, you'll be able to contact her by tomorrow morning."

"If you're still not reassured..."

As he spoke, Ye Tu spread his five fingers, and wisps of icy air, visible to the naked eye, gathered from all directions.

It intertwined and swirled in his palm, eventually condensing into a pill the size of a thumb.

It is crystal clear and emits a faint blue light.

"You should take this to her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pill seemed to have a spirit of its own, spinning around once before floating in front of Ivy.

"Consider it an employee benefit from your boss."

Ivia covered all the expenses these days, including the purchase of the magical puppets.

If it weren't for Ivia having a good teacher and her thriving side business, she probably would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Employee benefits?

Ivia stretched out her finger and gently poked the pill floating in front of her.

"what is this?"

"It's a good thing. You don't need to know what it is, and you can't understand it now anyway."

In this world, the mage profession is divided into three levels: apprentice mage (levels one to three), full-fledged mage (levels four to six), and grand mage (levels seven to nine).

These correspond to the first to third, fourth to sixth, and seventh to ninth levels of Qi Refining in the cultivation of immortality.

The Archmage is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of Immortal cultivation, but only the spiritual level undergoes a transformation during Foundation Establishment.

Let's assume she's at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The foundation-building stage, the initial stage.

We are still far from understanding the level of his methods.

"Take it to your teacher, she'll understand."

Chapter 7 Faith, Ancient Gods and Lord of Dawn

Ivia left.

Although she still had a lot of questions to ask, she was more worried about her teacher.

"Was that [Frostfeather] just now?" Irene Vitte stared intently at Ye Tu.

Others might not notice, but as the holder of [Frostfeather], she was all too familiar with it.

The power that coalesced into that small sphere...

While it can't be said to be exactly the same as [Frostfeather], it's at least nine-tenths similar!

But Frostfeather is still on my body.

"Yes, but not entirely." Ye Tu did not hide anything.

"The essence of the material does indeed originate from the divine artifact you possess, and the technique I use is called [Alchemy]."

Gather the pure and spiritual energy from the void to form the elixir.

This was the inheritance he received from a fragment of a blessed land when he first embarked on his cultivation journey.

It is both an alchemy technique and a cultivation method, and is extremely profound.

His unexpected inheritance played a crucial role in his success.

After arriving in this world, because the rules are vastly different from those of his original world, he was unable to use many of his methods.

This inherited alchemy technique is one of them.

It was Irene Wett's arrival that allowed him to further understand the rules of this world, finally enabling him to use them.

"Alchemy...?"

"Want to learn?"

After the era of the blessed land ended, he made this legacy public.

By the time he ascended to immortality, this legacy had been simplified multiple times by him and several fellow Daoists, and its circulation had become very widespread.

"No."

In Irene Vitte's view, this ability to create things out of thin air, while magical, was not the power she sought.

"Alright then." Ye Tu didn't insist.

"Go home first tonight. If you're happy with it, come find me tomorrow, and I'll give you what you want."

Same conditions as Ivia—

Ye Tu helped her regain her strength, and in return, she would serve Ye Tu for six months.

After all, this is a country where the will of the gods reigns supreme over everything.

He wanted to learn more about the gods without clashing with the local high-ranking figures, and having Irene Vitte help him avoid some unnecessary troubles would indeed make things much easier.

As for helping her out before...

Although Ye Tu didn't ask her to do anything, she said she would repay him.

"Ah."

Irene Wett was very decisive; she got up and was about to leave.

"One last piece of advice," Ye Tu leaned back in his chair, "Compared to using the power of artifacts through bloodline, I suggest you try to understand the essence of artifacts."

"Ok?"

"By relying on external things, one cannot see one's true self, let alone prove the Great Dao."

A look of confusion flashed across Irene Vitte's eyes.

Yes, she didn't quite understand.

"If you want to gain greater power, your current method won't work," Ye Tu explained in a simpler and more straightforward manner.

"..."

This time I understood.

"I see."

In the end, Irene Vitte left without asking any questions.

Perhaps Ye Tu could really help him, but too much has happened tonight, and he's not in the right state to make any decisions.

She needs time to sort out what happened tonight.

As for the other side...

Perhaps she herself didn't even realize it.

After all, he grew up in the Dawn Empire, while Ye Tu came from the Mage Association.

Even though she had been trying to break away from the Dawn Empire for a long time and had even made contact with the Mage Association and reached a certain level of cooperation.

However, due to the influence of her upbringing, she still harbors some prejudice against the group of 'mages'.

And so, with Irene Vitte leaving, Ye Tu was left alone in the room once again.

And a magical puppet that is cleaning the room.

He looked out the window.

"A divine artifact..."

Silently, wisps of cold air appeared, like snakes coiling around him, full of spirituality.

Sure enough, everything went as expected.

Divine artifacts and semi-divine artifacts are not on the same level at all; the latter have undergone a true qualitative change and have touched upon the rules of the world.
