Chapter 447 - 335: Otherworld Teleportation Technique (2)

Ian’s breathing quickened slightly. ’The suppression of the World Will...’

He recalled the information that had been revealed when his panel devoured the source of the Yalan Continent.

The World Will of a typical small world had power ranging from a lower limit equivalent to a Level Four Morning Star to an upper limit of a Level Five Radiant Moon.

’In other words, if a Level Three Wizard were to forcibly enter a complete world...’

"They’d be instantly crushed into a mortal, or even... killed outright!"

But the next entry made his eyes light up.

[Star Calendar 43987: In the world of ’Heart of Flame,’ a Level Four Abyssal Erosion was expelled and sealed.]

[The World Will bestowed a gift: the ’Molten Fire Mark.’]

[The bearer of this mark is regarded as a native and is not subject to the suppression of its Rules.]

’A World Mark? I’ve never heard of such a thing.’

’Presumably, one would have to make a significant contribution to the world itself to obtain such a mark.’

’Like purifying an Abyssal Rift, or... even helping the world ascend to a higher level.’

’Of course, the latter would be far more difficult, but the rewards would also be immense.’

Ian’s fingers tapped lightly on the paper.

’The World Will’s acknowledgment... a mark.’

’Everything my projection has done in the Profound Yellow World—killing Cultists, purifying the blood sacrifice—should be considered beneficial to that world.’

’If Wei Song could take the lead in, or even single-handedly complete, a Rift Purification...’

’The World Will of the Profound Yellow World would very likely bestow a mark. Even if it didn’t, it would at least not be hostile.’

’At that point, my main body’s arrival would be completely unimpeded, just like going home.’

Ian closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking deep into his Sea of Spirit.

The Link established by the Phase Soul Weaving Technique and the Two-Realm Phase Analyzer was still stable.

He could faintly sense the warm current in his projection Wei Song’s chest, all the way in the distant Profound Yellow World.

He sensed the mass of Thermal Energy pulsing like a miniature sun, and... the three fingernail-sized golden Crystals.

"The feasibility... is high, but it will take time."

He muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty stone chamber.

’The projection needs to keep growing and accumulating contributions.’

’And here in the Wizard World, I need to make more thorough preparations.’

「That afternoon. The Justice Clan’s library.」

Ian once again stood before the ten-meter-tall, rune-covered metal gate.

The guards were the same two Level Two Wizards, clad in silver armor, their auras composed and steady.

Seeing Ian approach, one of them stepped forward, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

"Authorization."

Ian took out the dark silver Level Three Honored Guest Badge and handed it over.

The guard took the badge and placed it on a Crystal Plate. The instant it made contact, the insignia’s pattern began to glow faintly.

"Authorization confirmed. Access to the first three levels is granted."

The guard stepped aside while the other pushed open the giant metal gate.

Beyond the gate was a descending stone staircase. The walls on either side were embedded with glowing moss that cast a sickly green light.

Ian descended at a measured pace, the sound of his footsteps echoing TAP TAP TAP on the narrow stairs.

He wasted no time, bypassing the first and second levels and heading straight for the third.

Following the directions on the stone index plaques, his gaze swept across the shelves. He quickly found the section marked "Planar Knowledge."

He turned and walked to the seventh through ninth bookshelves on the left, stopping to scan the labels on the spines.

*Basics of Otherworld Coordinate-Locking* (Level Three)

*Risks and Mitigation of Phase Shifting* (Level Three)

*Precautions for Void Navigation* (Level Three)

*An Overview of World Cluster Distribution* (Level Three)

...

The Wizard Civilization had developed to the point where it ruled over numerous World Clusters, and its Otherworld Transmission technology was highly advanced.

But this "advanced" technology was mainly for factions at the Morning Star level and above. They had World Anchors, coordinate networks, and entire legions at their command.

As an external Honored Guest Elder, Ian was already quite fortunate to have access to even a fraction of this knowledge.

He took down the relevant volumes one by one and began to flip through them rapidly.

Most of the content consisted of basic theories with which he was already familiar.

But some of the details were still worth careful consideration.

For example, correcting for errors in coordinate-locking, constructing Energy Shields for Phase Shifting, techniques for avoiding void turbulence...

Ian read quickly, his Spiritual Power sweeping over each page like a scanner, committing all useful information to memory.

At the same time, his panel activated silently, scanning and recording every book he read, making it convenient for him to review them later.

As he reached the bottom shelf of the ninth bookshelf, an inconspicuous manuscript caught his attention.

There was no label on the spine, only a single line of scrawled handwriting that looked as if it had been jotted down in a hurry.

*A Study on the Feasibility of Inter-World Travel for those Below the Morning Star Level*

’It seems someone had the same idea as me a long time ago.’

Ian reached out and took the manuscript down from the shelf.

Its cover was made of simple brown leather, heavily worn with age.

He opened it to the first page, where the flyleaf read:

"For theoretical discussion only. Attempts by those below Level Three are not advised."

The signature read: Kandela Justice.

Ian’s pupils contracted. ’This ancestor again.’

He took a deep breath and began to read. The manuscript was thin, only thirty-odd pages long.

But every page was covered in dense handwriting, along with numerous complex diagrams, formulas, and derivations.

Ian read very slowly.

His Spiritual Power became completely immersed, as if he were unearthing a long-buried treasure.

[For a Level Three Wizard to travel between worlds alone, three key conditions must be met.]

[First: Stable coordinates.]

[Second: Acknowledgment from the World Will.]

[Third: Certain special Elemental True Forms. (Warning: Level Three Elementalization is merely the foundation. A more specialized adaptation to the Rules is required for Teleportation; otherwise, an ordinary true form will disintegrate in the Void.)]

Ian’s finger paused on the two words "special Rules."
