Chapter 339: Third-Level Wizard

Chapter 339 Third-Level Wizard

Viola came in a whirlwind and left in a whirlwind, as if this visit truly was just for farewell and introducing Ang.

Jie Ming was long accustomed; years ago, Mentor Clark “entrusted” him to Viola in similarly curt fashion.

Among wizards—especially those focused on personal paths—exchanges cut to the core, sparing redundant pleasantries.

Seeing them off, Jie Ming’s consciousness sank back into the Infernal Sulfur plane, fully immersing in Incense Fire Divine Dao’s final construction.

Time flew in devoted research and practice.

Another forty-plus seasonal cycles.

This day, Jie Ming cautiously inscribed the last composite rune array bearing core rules onto a key node in the plane’s energy veins.

When the final stroke lit, perfectly resonating and merging with the vast network, he exhaled long.

Suppressing inner excitement, he swiftly returned to the plane array core laboratory.

Activating monitoring arrays, comprehensive scan data instantly displayed.

Plane surface: eternal scorching inferno vista unchanged.

Lava seas surged, black giant communities migrated—no visible eye-level shifts.

Yet on Jie Ming’s precise energy perception instruments, Incense Fire Divine Dao system energy flows stably lit orderly, cycling like infused with life!

Beyond, in more mystical realms, Jie Ming’s Nascent Soul cultivator spiritual sense clearly perceived plane changes.

He distinctly “saw” a novel cycle system—distinct from elemental energy—like fine neural networks silently covering and permeating the entire Infernal Sulfur plane.

Incense Fire Divine Dao—complete!

At confirmation instant, as if invisible barrier shattered.

In Jie Ming’s mind, near-millennium Great Dao Book Pavilion knowledge fragments on spiritual qi essence, rune evolution, array pivots, faith condensation collided and fused at unprecedented speed!

Via this sudden knowledge integration, many obscure points clarified.

A natural enlightenment surged.

Emerging from wondrous state, slight sensing revealed spiritual force fluctuation elevated a tier.

More condensed, vast; world energy interactions sharper, deeper.

Third-level wizard!

He had successfully advanced!

Moreover, Jie Ming clearly perceived himself no ordinary third-level.

Independently designing and constructing a plane-spanning Incense Fire Divine Dao system—even preliminary framework—achieved astonishing depth in “Spiritual Qi Law” understanding and application.

He roughly estimated his Spiritual Qi Law mastery likely exceeded 5%!

Meaning in law comprehension, he surpassed many fourth-level wizards.

Limited by current third-level spiritual force volume and quality, he could stably exert near 1% law mastery power.

But this affirmed his initial choice correct; upon full Incense Fire Divine Dao completion, Spiritual Qi Law mastery—if not 100%—would be close.

Amid joy, Jie Ming glanced at seventh-level large elemental pool energy monitoring array—readings drew a cold breath.

“No wonder… Great Dao Book Pavilion texts stress Incense Fire Divine Dao needs at least stellar-level energy source…”

Consumption—exorbitant!

Past years, maintaining ten full-power incubation pools birthing near six hundred million black giants, various alchemical experiments, internal space and auto-factories… all totaled under one ten-thousandth of pool output.

Now, merely preliminary Incense Fire Divine Dao framework and basic operation—consumption soared to one-tenth pool power!

Per design calculations, full completion with all modules stable would occupy over 80% output!

“Thankfully… chose seventh-level pool…” Jie Ming felt lingering fear and fortune.

Sixth-level for merit-saving would fail startup; grand plan energy-starved abort.

This “extravagant” step—crucial.

Now, Incense Fire Divine Dao main framework built, stably running.

Next: add specific function modules.

E.g., collect and auto-refine incense fire power, perfect cross-space energy transmission protocols, refine black giant community “social” attribute guidance and feedback.

“Fine decoration” category—leisurely, no prior urgency.

Calculating, under twenty years to next mandatory service.

Jie Ming deemed time to shift focus from plane construction to upcoming plane battlefield preparations.

He carefully assessed self-state.

Third-level advancement lacked cultivation major realm breakthrough’s rebirth sensation.

Wizard path—beyond first-two life and spiritual leaps—later advancements resembled knowledge accumulation triggering spiritual force natural expansion and refinement.

Unless multi-level jumps, immediate combat boost not instant; more potential elevation and power ceiling release.

“Then, these dozen-plus years—main direction?” Jie Ming planned.

Knowledge is wizard combat power.

With Spiritual Qi Law mastery far exceeding level, ordinary third-level knowledge unchallenging; key: convert law insight to actual combat.

Ideas cleared swiftly: “Primary: research and craft third-level sigil witch artifacts.”

Most effective instant combat boost.

With current Spiritual Qi Law and elemental understanding, fully capable designing more powerful, esoteric third-level sigil artifacts—ensuring battlefield self-preservation and breakthrough.

“Second… perhaps begin space knowledge contact.” Long-lingering thought.

Mutated snake-spider space abilities, internal space further development, future advanced applications—space knowledge vital.

Though extremely difficult, post-Nascent Soul, Jie Ming qualified preliminary space force observation and influence.

Delayed for time; now, basic dabbling and attempts viable.

Goals set, Jie Ming delayed no more.

Consciousness sank into laboratory databank, retrieving elemental architecture, energy compression tech, introductory space theory materials.

Mere dozen-plus years for research—not ample; must utilize efficiently.

    Chapter 339: Third-Level Wizard



    Viola came like a whirlwind and left just as swiftly, as though her visit had been solely for bidding farewell and introducing Ang.

    Jie Ming was long accustomed to such abruptness. Years ago, Mentor Clark had “entrusted” him to Viola in the same curt manner.

    Among wizards—especially those devoted to personal advancement—conversations were always direct, stripped of unnecessary pleasantries.

    After seeing them off, Jie Ming’s consciousness sank once more into the Infernal Sulfur Plane, fully immersing himself in the final stages of the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s construction.

    Time passed quickly amidst focused research and cultivation.

    More than forty seasonal cycles went by.

    On this day, Jie Ming carefully inscribed the final composite rune array—engraved with core laws—onto a key node within the plane’s energy veins.

    As the last stroke shone brightly and merged seamlessly with the vast network, perfect resonance rippled across the plane. Jie Ming exhaled deeply.

    Suppressing his excitement, he hurried back to the plane array’s core laboratory. Activating the monitoring arrays, he immediately brought up comprehensive data scans.

    The surface of the plane remained unchanged—a vast, eternal inferno.
    Seas of lava roared, and the colossal black giant communities continued their migrations—nothing seemed different to the naked eye.

    Yet on the precision instruments that measured energy flow, the Incense Fire Divine Dao system now glowed with a steady rhythm, circulating as though alive.

    Beyond that, in realms more mystical, Jie Ming’s Nascent Soul–level spiritual sense could clearly perceive the transformation.

    He distinctly “saw” a newly formed cycle—unlike elemental energy—spreading silently through the entire Infernal Sulfur Plane like a web of fine neural threads.

    The Incense Fire Divine Dao—complete!

    At that instant of confirmation, an invisible barrier seemed to shatter.

    Within Jie Ming’s mind, nearly a millennium’s worth of accumulated knowledge from the Great Dao Book Pavilion—on spiritual qi essence, rune evolution, array mechanisms, and the condensation of faith—collided and fused at astonishing speed.

    Through this sudden integration, countless once-obscure points became clear.

    A wave of natural enlightenment surged through him.

    When he emerged from that wondrous state, he immediately sensed a change—his spiritual power had risen to a higher tier.

    It was denser, vaster; his connection with the world’s energies sharper and deeper.

    He had advanced—he was now a Third-Level Wizard!

    Yet Jie Ming knew he was no ordinary third-level wizard.

    To independently design and construct an entire plane-spanning Incense Fire Divine Dao system, even in its preliminary form, demonstrated a profound understanding of the Law of Spiritual Qi.

    By rough estimation, his mastery of this law exceeded 5%—surpassing that of many fourth-level wizards.

    Though his current spiritual power limited him to exerting only about 1% of this law’s true strength, it was enough to affirm that his path was correct.

    Once the Incense Fire Divine Dao reached full completion, his comprehension of the Spiritual Qi Law—if not perfect—would be nearly so.

    As joy filled him, Jie Ming’s gaze drifted to the seventh-level large elemental pool’s energy monitoring array. The readings made him inhale sharply.

    “No wonder... the Great Dao Book Pavilion emphasized that the Incense Fire Divine Dao requires at least a stellar-level energy source…”

    The consumption was astronomical!

    In previous years, even maintaining ten full-power incubation pools—birthing nearly six hundred million black giants—alongside various alchemical experiments, internal spaces, and automated factories, had consumed less than one ten-thousandth of the pool’s output.

    Now, merely running the basic framework of the Incense Fire Divine Dao consumed one-tenth of its total power!

    According to his calculations, completing the full system with all modules operating would require over eighty percent of the pool’s output.

    “Thankfully… I chose a seventh-level pool,” Jie Ming sighed in relief.

    A sixth-level pool would never have sustained the startup; the grand design would have failed for lack of energy.
    That “extravagant” choice had been crucial.

    Now that the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s main framework was stable, the next task was to add the specialized function modules:

    Collecting and refining incense-fire power, perfecting cross-space energy transmission protocols, and refining the black giants’ social-attribute feedback systems.

    These “fine decorations” could be handled leisurely—they were no longer urgent.

    By his estimates, fewer than twenty years remained before his next mandatory service.

    Jie Ming decided it was time to shift focus—from plane construction to preparation for the upcoming plane battlefield.

    He assessed his current state carefully.

    Advancing to the third level lacked the dramatic rebirth that accompanied earlier realm breakthroughs.

    In the wizard’s path, beyond the first two transformations of life and spirit, later advancements came from accumulated knowledge—gradual refinements of spiritual power rather than explosive leaps.

    Unless one achieved multiple-level breakthroughs, immediate combat strength did not skyrocket; instead, one’s potential and upper limits expanded.

    “Then, for the next dozen or so years… what should be my main focus?” Jie Ming pondered.

    Knowledge was a wizard’s true combat power.

    With his current comprehension of the Spiritual Qi Law far beyond his level, ordinary third-level knowledge offered little challenge. What mattered now was converting that insight into combat capability.

    His thoughts soon crystallized.

    Primary goal: Research and forge third-level sigil-based witch artifacts.

    These would offer the most direct and effective boost to combat power.

    With his current grasp of the Spiritual Qi Law and elemental theory, he was fully capable of designing stronger and more intricate sigil artifacts—vital for battlefield survival and breakthroughs.

    Secondary goal: Begin studying spatial knowledge.

    A long-held aspiration.

    The mutated snake-spider’s spatial abilities, the further development of internal spaces, and advanced applications of spatial manipulation all required deep understanding of space itself.

    Though extremely difficult, as a Nascent Soul cultivator Jie Ming was now capable of perceiving and even influencing the power of space—at least preliminarily.

    He had delayed it for lack of time; now, he could finally begin basic exploration.

    With his goals set, Jie Ming wasted no time.

    His consciousness dove into the laboratory databanks, retrieving materials on elemental architecture, energy compression technologies, and introductory theories of space.

    A mere dozen years was not long for research. He would have to use every moment to its fullest.
