The Wizard's Pursuit of Truth

The old man with the white beard glanced at Wang Ya and said with a smile, ”That’s not a place for you, little one. That’s my home.”

Wang Ya did not slight the old man. He bowed slightly and said, ”Greetings, Master Wizard.”

Deep within his lowered eyes, a subtle blue glint flashed.

[Target: ???]

[Spiritual Power: ???]

[Physique: ???]

[Power: Suspected Official Wizard.]

’No need for suspicion. This must be an Official Wizard of the Dark Land, hidden away to guard this Land of Inheritance.’

’Unlike the many Official Wizards who operate in the open, the hidden ones are the trump cards of their respective Wizard Influences.’

”Just call me the Heritage Wizard. When you enter the Heritage Maze, a voice will ask what your heart desires. As long as you tell it exactly what you want, it will place you in the corresponding area.”

The old man with the white beard spoke in a very calm tone, ”If your heart wavers in the slightest, you’ll appear randomly within the Heritage Maze, unable to accurately find what you’re looking for. Your authority... eh?!”

The Heritage Wizard was clearly surprised. ”Level 3 Authority, and a Child of the Dark at that. You can stay in the Heritage Maze for three hours.”

Generally speaking, a Child of the Dark usually came with Level 2 Authority; he was aware of this.

’Level 3 Authority... that must mean this little one’s Dark Cultivation Level is the highest possible.’

”Understood, esteemed Heritage Wizard.” Wang Ya’s Wizard Etiquette was perfect, without a single flaw.

”I hope you find what you’re looking for, little one.” The Heritage Wizard smiled and waved his hand at Wang Ya.

The next moment, the fluctuations of a teleportation enveloped Wang Ya, and he instantly lost all sensation of the outside world.

From the Heritage Wizard’s perspective, the Heritage Maze was like a scroll painting. Space began to fold and warp, forming a great, folded mouth that swallowed the young Black Robe Wizard in a single gulp.

Just as expected, a cold voice appeared in Wang Ya’s mind, repeatedly asking him what he wanted.

’Advanced Extraordinary Knowledge... Dream Witchcraft... Dream Realm... Dream World... Dream Wizard... Particle Energy Property Changes... Extraordinary Spiritual Power Sublimation.’

Considering that knowledge related to Elemental Wizards might be in a different area from knowledge related to Dream Wizards, Wang Ya focused his search criteria on things related to Dream Wizards.

’After all, this was his current sticking point.’

’The Elemental Wizard Path had a more solid foundation. If he encountered any related problems, he could just make another trip here next time at worst.’

’And right now, Wang Ya really wasn’t short on Dark Points.’

’Refining the two Middle-tier Dream Witchcrafts and creating a third was more important.’

’It might even allow him to deduce the path toward two subsequent High-tier Witchcrafts.’

When Wang Ya opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Heritage Maze, surrounded by a dense, complex maze of bookshelves and books.

A faint, musky scent filled the air, calming a Wizard’s Extraordinary Spiritual Power and soothing their mood.

Now, he just had to find the Extraordinary Books on the surrounding shelves that would be useful to him.

Three hours might seem like a lot compared to one or two.

But mastering the knowledge contained in any single one of these Extraordinary Books would take at least a hundred times that long.

Most Wizards who came to the Land of Inheritance had already chosen the Extraordinary Books they wanted ahead of time.

Then, they would pay Dark Points to have the book’s contents copied directly into their Dark Wizard Mark via Wizard Technology.

It was similar to the way Wizards exchanged information and transferred knowledge among themselves.

’Wang Ya even had a faint suspicion that the Extraordinary Knowledge in the Land of Inheritance was actually a copy stored within the Dark Core Terminal itself.’

’Receiving information from the Extraordinary Books with a Dark Wizard Mark was just a facade—the result of being granted permission by one’s authority level.’

’The Extraordinary Knowledge wasn’t copied from the books at all, but transmitted directly from the Dark Core Terminal.’

’The prerequisites for gaining this permission were entering the Land of Inheritance, selecting the corresponding Extraordinary Book, and then paying the Dark Points.’

Wang Ya randomly pulled an Extraordinary Book from a shelf. Its title was *Analysis of Dreams and Consciousness*.

Just by opening it to the first page, Wang Ya’s eyes lit up.
