Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 794: Chapter 705: The Realm of Immortality

“Our transaction is just the original one. Actually, Yanajins has her own concerns. She needs to consider Danaila’s larger plan. I wonder if you are willing to listen further?”

Vanessa spoke as if she hadn’t noticed his changing expression.

“I would love to hear more.” Ivan slightly bowed.

“Oh, you don’t know whether to call yourself lucky or unlucky. Do you know that you are being watched by many big figures in the Star Realm? Those are not the kind of old folks you want to deal with.”

“Because of the Wisdom Elder’s inheritance?”

Upon hearing this, Ivan’s heart stirred. He thought of Anjie, and Mr. Dongxi whose attitude was peculiar not long ago.

What he had on himself that made people view him highly and remember him was probably only the wisdom power left by the Wisdom Elder.

As for other aspects, in the eyes of big figures at the ancestral level, they were not worth mentioning.

“It seems you are not completely ignorant.”

Vanessa nodded slowly, expressing with a trace of emotion, “But you probably don’t know what heights that Wisdom Elder reached? He is the only one known, and acknowledged, to touch the realm of immortality as a Sub-transcender.”

“Immortal realm?” Ivan asked with confusion.

“Level 6 Throne, Level 7 Supreme, Level 8 Ancestor. Beings at these levels have their limits, at most tens of thousands of years, and will eventually perish, be annihilated by time’s erosion. Even our plane’s Mother of All Things has a limit.

To achieve eternal immortality, one must break free from the shackles of time and achieve transcendence, which is defined as the ’Immortal Realm’.”

Vanessa elaborated in more detail.

It turns out, there is a higher realm beyond the ancestral one, requiring transcendence from time, and the Wisdom Elder is the only one to touch immortality.

Ivan listened and was greatly shocked.

“But I am not the only inheritor of the Wisdom Elder’s legacy. Why do they focus on me, a small character?”

“How do you know they only focus on you?”

“Could it be—-”

“Actually, you are mistaken about one point. The inheritors of the Wisdom Elder don’t appear everywhere like flowers in bloom but emerge one generation after another, very few, at most one or two per generation.

And those before you were either––eliminated or turned into puppets or collectibles, later replaced by others.

So, you can also consider those watching you, just like you, as inheritors of the Wisdom Elder, only their inheritor status was seized.”

With Vanessa’s explanation, Ivan finally understood.

No wonder there were so few legacy items of wisdom power in the vast Star Realm River. Through Heaven Gate, he had explored so many worlds and never encountered any.

Except for the Prophet’s Treasure Tome, other wisdom creations he possessed were obtained from various big figures through various methods.

Turns out they were already targeted, divided cleanly.

Fortunately, his own wisdom power was acquired through scholarly advancement, intangible, unseen, and not something anyone can steal, not knowing if this was purposely arranged by the Wisdom Elder.

“The reason they haven’t acted against you now is not because they are kind, but past experiences tell them that an undeveloped inheritor holds little value and cannot assist them in obtaining the core inheritance power.

They are all waiting, waiting for you to grow step by step, until you meet the minimum requirement for the core inheritance. Do you understand now?”

Vanessa paused for a while, giving him ample time to think, before continuing.

“May I ask boldly, my lord, how do you know such detailed information?” Ivan couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, it was intentionally looked into for you. Without looking, I wouldn’t know. Once looked into, it truly startled me. Remember what I said before? My choice remains the same.” Vanessa replied frankly.

“Then what is their minimum requirement in terms of strength level?” Ivan asked again.

“You ask me, who should I ask? I have no direct ties with those people, nor would they publicize it widely. When the time is ripe, they will naturally seek you out. With their level of strength, you can’t escape.” Vanessa replied.

Ivan remained silent.

Indeed, with just Anjie from the Fairy World and Mr. Dongxi from the Xi Palace Chamber of Commerce, he could be chased to nowhere, not to mention other ancestral figures whose numbers he did not know.

It’s normal for Danaila’s mentor to choose to relent.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Haha, I, Vanessa, am already in such a bleak state now, better to take a gamble. I bet the inheritor carefully selected by the Wisdom Elder can overcome all difficulties and reach the highest position in the Star River.”

Vanessa gazed at him intensely. At this moment, she seemed less like an extremely rational Mother of All Things, and more like a gambler ready to put all her chips on the table.

Ivan suddenly remembered a characteristic of the Ash Plane: revival from certain death.

“So, after saying so much, give a definite answer: Are you willing to come to my side? I will help you become a Supreme Being and further achieve a higher realm as an Ancestor.”

Seizing this opportunity, Vanessa extended the invitation to him once again, her tone appearing somewhat aggressive.

Ivan was always a decisive person. This time, he hesitated unusually. For Vanessa, there was a knot in his heart, thinking about the Shadow of Annihilation that guarded Ash for countless years.

And Yanajins’ silent relinquishment let him deeply experience the Mother of All Things’ cold ruthlessness.
