Chapter 328: Chapter 189: Advancement to Level 2 Crystallization and a Higher-Tier Realm of Truth

Star Realm Calendar, Year 14527, February 4th.

Pei Ze had been in the Shadow Realm for nearly a year.

After settling the Pei Family’s affairs, he began cultivating in seclusion, spending most of his time in his room either in Meditation or practicing the All-Knowing Breathing Technique.

Occasionally, he would brew potions and have Su Ya and Peng Yan sell them at the Trading Square to cover his lodging and the expense of buying crow-like Magical Creatures.

After seven months of Meditation, Pei Ze’s Spiritual Power had, as he’d hoped, reached the standard for crystallization.

’Omniscience, check my current status.’

Pei Ze thought to himself, sitting cross-legged on his bed in the hotel room.

[Spirit 384.00]

[Physique 355.77]

’I can begin the crystallization process now.’

A look of delight flashed across Pei Ze’s face.

Without hesitation, he took out a Divine Thought Potion, selected a supreme-quality vintage, and consumed it. Then, he began to condense his Spiritual Power.

Having done this several times before, the process of condensing his Spiritual Power was now second nature to Pei Ze.

About half a day later, the Spiritual Power within his second Spirit Crystal had taken on a crystallized state.

’That used up seventy-five Divine Thought Potions. Thank goodness I brought enough.’

Pei Ze heaved a long sigh, a joyful smile on his face.

He had finally broken through to the Level 2 Crystalization Stage.

Because his Spirit Crystals were larger than those of ordinary Wizards, each breakthrough required a much greater increase in Spiritual Power. Even with the aid of the Eye of Omniscience, it had cost him considerable time and effort.

If the breakthrough requirements were the same as for other Wizards, he would have become a Level 3 Wizard long ago.

’The requirement to form the third Spirit Crystal is a Spiritual Power level of 576. I’m still 192 short.’

’My current daily increase from the combined effects of the Visualization Secret Technique and the Dragon Pattern has dropped to 0.56. It will take roughly a year to reach the required level.’

Pei Ze nodded to himself. A year wasn’t long. If he hadn’t created the Dragon Pattern, the time needed to break through would have at least doubled.

So, only needing one year was already quite short.

Besides, once he formed the third Spirit Crystal and inscribed the third Dragon Pattern, the growth of his Spiritual Power would accelerate even more.

’By the time I advance to a Level 3 Wizard, it will be almost time for the Battle of the Holy Ring to start.’

A glint flashed in Pei Ze’s eyes.

He wasn’t interested in so-called honor and fame.

However, if it meant Chenxi City would gain access to more resources, he wasn’t against participating in the Battle of the Holy Ring.

Furthermore, if he were to actually win, the Dawn Council would surely not treat him unfairly; perhaps the resources to advance to an Elemental Mage would even be guaranteed.

However, it was foreseeable that winning the Battle of the Holy Ring would not be easy.

After all, the participants in the Battle of the Holy Ring were all genius Wizards from the major Wizard Cities, some of whom were even descendants of Rule Wizards known as the ’Chosen’.

It went without saying that their strength would far exceed that of other Wizards at the same level.

Even Pei Ze wouldn’t dare claim he was completely confident of winning the Battle of the Holy Ring.

’No matter what, I’ll focus on advancing to Level 3 Wizard first.’

Pei Ze got up, left his room, and stepped into the corridor.

A dark shadow flashed before him, and Wuyu landed on his shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his cheek.

Pei Ze smiled faintly, stroking the little one’s cool feathers.

While he was in seclusion, Su Ya and Peng Yan had frequently purchased crow-like Magical Creatures from the Trading Square for Wuyu to devour.

The number of Fog Crows within the little one’s body had now surpassed the nine thousand mark and was steadily approaching ten thousand.

It was worth noting that among the crow-like Magical Creatures Wuyu had devoured, one species called the Shadow Crow was exceptionally compatible with it.

Shadow Crows were considered semi-native creatures of the Shadow Realm. They were born in another outer realm called the Shadow Plane but were fond of coming to the Shadow Realm.

These Magical Creatures are born with a mastery of the Power of Shadow and possess combat strength equivalent to a Tier Three Legendary Knight.

After devouring Shadow Crows, the Power of Shadow that Wuyu obtained began to show signs of fusing with its own mist-based ability and evolving into something new, which made Pei Ze very happy.

Without a doubt, the Shadow Crow perfectly fit the criteria for the consumption targets he had planned for Wuyu.

Once it inherited the Power of Shadow from the Shadow Crows and its mist ability successfully evolved into a new power, Wuyu’s combat strength would undoubtedly leap to a whole new level.

It might even reach the strength of a Level 3 Crystalized Wizard.

As it stood, Wuyu could barely contend with a Level 3 Liquidation Wizard.

"WAAH! WAAH!"

A sudden, sharp cry interrupted Pei Ze’s thoughts.

He turned to see Xiaoyi flapping her wings and flying swiftly toward him. She dove into his embrace, protesting loudly and without pause.

During his seclusion, Xiaoyi had been staying with Wuyu the entire time.

Only with Wuyu accompanying her could she play around Awo Castle without a worry.

But the Shadow Realm was nothing like the material world; the environment was desolate and bleak, and even vegetation was a rare sight.

Although Awo Castle was a bit more lively, it paled in comparison to Chenxi City. Xiaoyi had quickly grown bored and had been holding it in for a long time. Seeing Pei Ze today, she finally couldn’t help but protest.

"Alright, I get it. We’ll leave the Shadow Realm today and go back to Chenxi City," Pei Ze said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Xiaoyi immediately began to wave her hands and shout excitedly. She motioned for Pei Ze to take out the Fairy House, then took the initiative and zipped inside.

Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were cultivating in the backyard, heard the familiar voice in the corridor and immediately came up. Seeing Pei Ze, their faces lit up with joy.

"Sir, have you finished your cultivation?"

"Yes." Pei Ze smiled faintly. "Pack your things. We’re going back to Chenxi City today."
