Chapter 522: The Gate to the Spiritual World (Three-in-One)
No one knows how many meetings the Imperial Demon Hunter Organization held because of this, and how many important figures had headaches over this, but in the end they found helplessly that there was nothing they could do about Lin An.
The only one they can influence is the Knights of the Antler Witch Hunters.
However, Zhang Baishu, the Lujiao leader who was called to the imperial capital for a meeting, said this -
"You must know, Lin An, that he is first a wizard with wizard blood, and secondly a member of the Antler Witch Hunting Knights."
"He does recognize Lujiao's identity and is willing to accept the advice of me, the leader, and Lao Cao, the master, but are you sure that after doing this, you won't completely force him into the wizard group?"
"Since he plans to let wizards all over the world enter the game world, as the controller of the game world, the most powerful wizard, and the principal of the Natural Wizard Academy..."
"Do you think those wizards who have no way to return to the real world are eager for someone to really come to protect and guide them?"
"I understand Lin An. He is not a careerist. If we really build him up, no one will know what will happen in the future."
"I think……"
Doctor Zhang looked at each of the big guys meaningfully, "Maybe you should face up to Lin An's identity as the master of the world and give him the respect he deserves!"
After this, some things really mean something.
The top leaders of the Empire's demon hunter organization collectively practiced the deer trick breathing method. Through this method, they entered the game world and had a secret meeting with Lin An.
The hundred schools of the Natural Wizarding Academy suddenly had thousands more professors, and an additional Witcher Academy was added. It is said to be a research academy that explores the path of wizards to becoming witchers.
The headquarters of the Imperial Demon Hunter Organization's original development plan has also changed from a management strategy set at the beginning to a service strategy.
The wizards summoned from the real world, except that they still cannot leave the new city, are no longer bound to the headquarters island in the game world and can freely go to all corners of the ocean.
In addition, the "Witch Knight" game and the "Witch Hunter" expansion pack have been completely removed from all major platforms. The original game software that has been sold has quickly lost its extremely unique charm, and added Refund channels.
The Antlers game software development company that has climbed back to the top of the industry is said to have quietly disappeared from the Internet after being fully acquired.
Only a few people know that this game development company changed its name to ‘Diverse World Development Media Company’, and its main business changed from developing games to developing junk advertisements.
That is, the pop-up window says, ‘Do you want to have a completely different life? yes/no’ weird stuff.
Of course, this kind of advertisement for spirituality can actually only be triggered by people with extraordinary powers such as demon hunters, witch-hunting knights, wizards, etc., and thus receive random offers, settlement fees, and tickets to other worlds from major domestic companies.
The kind that won’t work if you don’t go.
After people enter another world, they will find that there is a legendary 'World Lord' here, but he rarely shows up.
The person responsible for the development and management of the other world is the ‘Other World Development Company’ with the participation of professors from the Natural Wizard Academy.
This company has set up ten management offices in the game world, and each management office building is equipped with facilities such as resurrection points that control the lifeblood of game players.
Time passes little by little.
Lin An, the Lord of the First Realm, finally walked out of the research room.
Even if you are cautious when facing the spiritual lich, you have already made the necessary preparations.
In the Natural Wizard Academy, tens of thousands of wizards with the ability to manifest spirituality have been trained. Even if some of them are so partial that they cannot even master natural wizardry, they have already begun to fight against spiritual wizards. Demon's group combat power.
Not to mention, the Empire's demon hunter organization improved the extraordinary army's 'combined attack technique' into the wizard version of 'group casting', which once again enhanced the combat effectiveness of this wizard team.
"Set off!"
Lin An looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar figures around him, and without saying anything, he greeted everyone to land on the ghost ship.
The big ship sailed quickly towards the far north.
Along the way, everyone was a little nervous and gathered together to discuss.
"Anzi, I'm not willing to give in!"
Lin Anzheng and Chen Shuyun were whispering when Lao Liu suddenly emerged from nowhere.
He actually didn't want to participate in this action, but Brother Lu and Brother Chen were staring at him. As a professor at the Natural Wizard Academy, he had no choice but to follow.
"What's wrong?" Lin An looked at him with some confusion.
"It's the 'spiritual manifestation' you created..." When talking about this, Lao Liu was not only admiring, but also deeply unhappy, "Wizards don't need to practice witchcraft, relying on this 'spiritual manifestation', ah A wizard who has not yet experienced his 'emotional excitement' actually possesses the strength I had back then in Shenhou City!"
"I'm not willing to give in~"
He was very unwilling to accept it. Old Liu was conceited and very talented, but just watching the wizard apprentices who he had looked down on before suddenly have great strength made him mentally unbalanced.
Of course, the most important thing is that he, a wizard, came to the game world, oh, it should be called a 'different world' now. He came to such a place suitable for wizards to survive, and felt the richer aura of the spiritual world, but found that he and There isn't much difference between the new generation, which is frustrating.
"That's a cheat, but you promoted it, and everyone has it, and personal talent has no meaning!"
Old Liu was a little indignant.
Lin An shook his head, "Spiritual manifestation is a cheat, but unless the individual's spiritual power has been greatly improved, the ability will be fixed at that level. The proper path of practice is the foundation. Didn't I take the time to give lectures at the Natural Wizard Academy and explain the path of practice of 'One Ring Wizard' very clearly?"
Old Liu rolled his eyes, "Then tell me, besides you, who else has really cultivated the 'One Ring Wizard' you created?"
Although the paths of wizards and witch hunters have their own fate and the manifestation of personal power, there are always some universal versions.
For example, the breathing method and furnace of witch hunters and demon hunters, such as wizards' spells and spiritual manifestation.
Lin An once wanted to promote his own 'One Ring Wizard' practice path, but in fact no one could really cultivate it.
Difficult, too difficult.
Not only must you master various theories, but you must also have unique understanding.
It's true that no wizard can learn it except Lin An.
"This..."
Lin An hesitated for a moment and looked at Lao Liu, "You should be the first one to learn it."
"Me?" Lao Liu pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Yes, compared to veteran wizards like Uncle Chen Guishu and witch hunters like Dr. Zhang, you must be the first one to learn it."
Lao Liu was confused, looking at Lin An's confident look, frowning in confusion.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lin An operated the wizard version of the furnace, and the spiritual energy surged. A halo appeared behind him, and strange lich parts swayed in the halo.
"Don't you think my technique is familiar?"
He pointed to the halo behind him.
Lao Liu curled his lips, "I know, the wizard version of the furnace, you have said it many times."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Lin An motioned him to observe carefully again.
Old Liu looked left and right, grinning helplessly, with a bitter expression on his face.
Chen Shuyun looked at the halo behind Lin An, then looked at Liu Yuanmou, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yeah, I know!"
"You know?" Old Liu looked at her quickly.
Chen Shuyun smiled and nodded, "Except for the different forms of expression, but isn't this the way of clones you practiced back then?"
"(⊙_⊙)?" Old Liu blinked.
"Look." Chen Shuyun pointed to the halo behind Lin An, "This is your big banyan tree back then."
He pointed to the parts of the lich corpse floating in the halo, "These are the clones of the big banyan tree that refined the spirituality of other wizards."
"Hiss~~~"
Old Liu took a breath and looked at Lin An in disbelief.
Lin An nodded and spread his hands, "I just added the content of refining the armor of the lich corpse in the furnace on the 'subordinate relationship' theory you taught me back then."
"Everything has its source."
"I can't create new knowledge out of thin air. I have done in-depth research on the original foundation."
"You, the wizard mentor, taught me, and Professor Cao, the witch hunter knight master, taught me. With the idea of furnace improvement, I have thoroughly integrated what I know..."
"Look, I didn't lie to you."
"You are a strong man who practices the way of clones, and you have a very deep understanding of the antler furnace. It should be very simple to follow the path of practice that I have researched."
Old Liu was stunned and looked at Lin An in disbelief, his eyes red, "Lin An, you old fool!"
He was All excited, "I gave up 'selflessness' and moved towards 'existence', and then you tell me, ha, what I thought before was right?"
Lin An was very innocent, "You can't say that, no one can be sure whether their path of practice is right or wrong, what if there is a big pit waiting for me in front?"
Old Liu laughed, "Do you think I believe it?"
After all, he is a wizard boss with his own profound insights, "Your body is in the real world, your mind is in the game world, and your heart is in the spirit world lich body. As long as you don't completely give up your will, you can start over even if you go wrong!"
"Relying on the game world, you can directly reincarnate into a state where you haven't practiced yet."
It is said that the one who knows you better than you know yourself is your enemy.
Old Liu didn't know when he regarded Lin An, the traitor, as an opponent, and he had figured it out long ago.
He just shouted unwillingly, "Give me back the banyan tree. It seems that I need this one to become a first-ring wizard!"
"This..."
Lin An was a little helpless, "There is no way to return it. When I do research, I always take all my knowledge and things into consideration. Now considering solving the problem of the spirit world lich, the banyan tree is an indispensable part."
"!!!"
Old Liu was anxious, "It was originally mine!"
Lin An smiled, "But you gave it to me."
In the end, Old Liu still failed to get the banyan tree back from the traitor Old Liu. In fact, as a wizard boss, he already had his own ideas in his mind after Lin An pointed out the practice concept of the "first-ring wizard".
From selflessness to existence, why go back to the old way?
The way of existence is precisely the most critical part of practicing the "first-ring wizard", which is very consistent with the concept of deer antler discipline.
He wanted to ask Lin An to take back the banyan tree, but he knew that he couldn't get it, so he just wanted Lin An to owe him a favor.
Old Liu is very panicked now.
He is not popular with both Lu Tingyu and Chen Guishu, and he is surrounded by members of the Deer Horns, the Imperial Demon Hunter Organization and the Southern Alliance that used to be uncompromising with wizards.
He is isolated and helpless.
Lin An has opened a new era, which is destined to be a new era for wizards and a new era for the supernatural world. Everyone is trying to find their own place in the new era.
Chen Guishu has asked someone to contact his former subordinates abroad in the real world and ask them to come to the game world to find a way to get a share of the game world in the early stage of development and occupy their own position.
As for Old Liu, he seems to have a relationship with everyone, and seems to have some gratitude, but he also has some hatred.
He is such a failure as a person. Even the people like Cai Ribbon, Lottery, and the old accountant who established the "Mad Wizard's Tree Hole" organization to shelter him did not appreciate his kindness.
How miserable he is.
The only hope is to become strong.
Only when he is strong, no one will dare to provoke him.
After Lao Liu left, Lin An and Chen Shuyun smiled at each other. As they have the ability to touch the spiritual power, they all know what Lao Liu muttered in his heart just now.
——"Damn it, wait until I become a 'first-ring wizard', and let you see how powerful I am!"
——"This traitor!"
——"Ah, ah, I want to become strong!"
Lin An laughed and called Lao Liu, "I want to say that I have figured out a 'second-ring wizard', do you believe it?"
"!!!" Lao Liu turned his head and looked at him suddenly, "What?"
Lin An laughed and stretched out two fingers, "Second-ring wizard!"
Lao Liu was stunned.
"The foundation of the second-ring wizard is the spiritual embodiment, which goes a step further and reaches the level of witchcraft spiritual embodiment."
"I call it 'spell spiritual embodiment'."
"What do you think?"
Lao Liu didn't think much of it. He was hit and didn't want to talk to Lin An.
Then several people came over to chat for a while, including Mr. Chuanyu from the Empire Demon Hunter Organization, who is now the dean of the Demon Hunter School of the Natural Wizard Academy.
The ghost ship sailed very fast. Mr. Chuanyu took the lead in leading the extraordinary army of the Empire Demon Hunter Organization to open up the Purgatory World and set up the strongest defense line against the spirit world lich.
In fact, if Lin An could succeed according to his own plan, the spirit world lich would not have the opportunity to enter the game world directly, but as he said, no one can be 100% sure that he is right.
Everyone is on the road of groping, and there is no so-called real authority in the extraordinary world.
As it arrived at the land in the far north, the ghost ship was lifted directly from the sea and floated in the air. Everyone on the ship entered their most powerful state.
People who have achieved success in cultivation are different, and others have entered the state of temporary lichization.
For a time, the ghost ship was full of monsters and demons.
Lin An got off the ghost ship and walked alone on the land. Chen Shuyun controlled the ship and followed closely.
As he walked, Lin An reached out and grabbed a blood-colored staff. A halo appeared behind him, and pale little hands kept appearing around him, seemingly casting spells in every corner.
Yes, casting spells.
He rarely cast spells directly before. When facing complex problems, he always sought solutions from the perspective of "witchcraft rituals".
From casting spells to witchcraft rituals, now he is back to casting spells again.
The parts of the lich corpses collected in the halo behind him are actually the materials for each spell in the witchcraft ritual.
The complex problem is once again reduced to the seemingly simplest casting.
He seemed to be casting spells towards the land in all directions with every step he took, but no one on the ghost ship knew what he was doing.
Unknowingly, Lin An had completely pulled them away by a large distance.
Finally, Lin An came to the center of the land. In front of him was a map that no one else could see, and a precise arrow was floating above the center.
The bloody staff waved, and a coffin that seemed to be there and not there appeared beside him. Lin An took out the big banyan tree from it and placed it here.
This is the foundation of this plan. The big banyan tree carries everything.
Lin An will use the unique platform of the big banyan tree to build a way for the spirit world lich to log into the game world.
He stood beside the big banyan tree and waved the staff, chanting an incantation of unknown meaning, and various strange objects in the halo behind him began to light up.
As the spell was cast, the big banyan tree began to grow larger and larger, rising into the sky, as if it was going to grow above the clouds.
The branches of the big banyan tree kept dropping aerial roots, which kept getting thicker after falling to the ground, turning into new trunks, and the stretched crown directly covered the entire Far North continent.
Then, the big banyan tree flickered a few times and disappeared.
Only countless twisting tree roots were left on the continent, like long snakes.
Finally, even the tree roots disappeared, the vast land seemed to become sticky, and even the wind stopped.
Lin An continued to move in the northernmost direction.
There, under the influence of his spell, the fog that condensed on the sea surface began to surge, as if some monster was about to rush out from it.
The blood-colored staff waved gently.
A halo suddenly appeared behind Lin An, a halo that looked like bronze and black jade, covering the original halo.
"Second ring wizard..."
Old Liu leaned on the edge of the ghost ship, looking at Lin An with burning eyes, "He didn't lie to me, it really exists?"
But what is the use of this?
He soon found out.
With a series of crisp clinking sounds, two chains that looked like bronze and black jade suddenly extended from the second ring of light.
That chain looked so familiar.
Oh, isn't this the chain that Lu Tingyu tied up Chen Guishu and his wife with?
Old Liu raised his eyebrows and vaguely realized what Lin An was doing.
Witchcraft spirituality...chain discipline...
After controlling his own spirituality, Lin An further extended his hand to witchcraft spirituality!
Yes, since Anzi said that his research results are traceable, then Old Liu only needs to think along the directions that Lin An understands, and he can probably understand what Anzi is doing.
Sure enough, it was as he expected.
The chain extended, and two huge figures emerged in the gray-black smoke and dark golden mist.
Dark golden statue and deer-horned dragon man.
These two witchcraft spirits are no longer the kind of illusion that is vague, but really appear in front of everyone.
This is the embodiment of the spirit!
Let the witchcraft spirit temporarily become a lich, in order to achieve the level of fighting against the spirit world lich.
And the chain that Lu Tingyu figured out is essentially a way to discipline the spirit.
"It's just a genius~"
Lu Tingyu and Chen Guishu sighed beside Lao Liu.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
Two huge statues that are dozens of stories high walked from behind Lin An to the front. Every step of their huge bodies made the earth vibrate with a rumbling sound, and every step stirred a huge amount of spiritual energy in the spirit world.
The terrible power came, suffocating all those who came to help.
In the purgatory world, Mr. Chuanyu and Grandma Baigui looked at each other, and saw despair in each other's eyes.
Cao Jiang's existence, which was beyond the ceiling level, was already despairing, but at least he thought that he might become such a powerful figure with better luck.
But Lin An in front of him could only look up in despair.
No matter how powerful the boss was, he would feel deeply powerless when watching Lin An's spellcasting at this time.
Perhaps in the eyes of beginners, this was just summoning two huge statues to help, but they could clearly feel how exaggerated the power of these two giant spirits was.
If the furnace of ordinary demon hunters or witch hunters was compared to different grades of car engines.
The power operation level displayed by these two giant spirits in front of them was the super-large smelting furnace of a steel plant.
What kind of way was this? They couldn't understand it.
For example, they couldn't understand the chain connecting the halo behind Lin An and the two giant spirits. They could only clearly feel the power of such familiar discipline, that's all.
The two statues took exaggerated steps and came to the edge of the continent step by step. They each stretched out an arm into the sea mist, and stretched out another arm to face each other.
The terrible power that was enough to destroy a city surged between the two arms, and even the space was affected and squeezed, emitting colorful electric lights.
Buzz buzz buzz~~~
A huge bronze gate emerged from between the two arms little by little.
The space was distorted more and more, as if it was going to wrap up the entire continent. The extraordinary army in the purgatory world even felt that they were stretched very long and squeezed to only a grain of sand.
The whole continent seemed to be turned upside down because of this bronze gate.
This weird distortion made everyone very uncomfortable.
In fact, they were indeed being stretched and squeezed. When Lin An cast a spell, the continent affected by the bronze gate was merging with the black ocean where the game world and the spirit world merged, in an extremely bizarre way.
It was like spirituality became a practical and tangible matter because of its support.
That piece of black ocean was pouring into this long-formed continent little by little.
"Roar~~~~"
"Eh Ka~ Eh Ka~~~"
"Gu Gu Gu Cha~~~"
Various strange cries appeared in everyone's mind, and people seemed to see all kinds of strange monsters in a black ocean roaring in panic.
The continent turned over, and the bronze gate was like the mouth of a bottle.
The black ocean poured, and the monsters poured into this continent from the mouth of the bottle with the ocean.
They wanted to escape from here and rushed out of the mouth of the bottle again, but found that the continent was twisted, and they still returned to the continent.
The continent was full of stagnation.
Their escape slowed down, and some had to stop and were completely trapped there.
Lin An only felt that the chain on the halo was constantly extending, extending to a length that he could not describe.
One of the witchcraft spirits locked by the chain, the dark golden statue, was melting little by little and merging into the bronze gate little by little.
Suddenly, with a dull bang, the ancient bronze door appeared there completely and truly.
It contained the Far North continent in the game world, which belonged to Lin An's spiritual space, and the area where the game world and the spirit world merged.
It completely became the pass between the game world and the spirit world, and will stand there forever, becoming a trace of Lin An painted in the environment, which will never disappear.
It was at this time that Lin An further felt his control over the game world.
With the permanent existence of this bronze gate, the game world, this other dimension, has become completely real and can never disappear.
Lin An's expression flashed, he raised his eyebrows, looked at another witchcraft spirit, the deer-horned dragon man, his expression flashed, and waved the blood-colored staff to collect it.
Maybe everyone would think that their two witchcraft spirits turned into this bronze gate.
But in fact, only the dark golden statue is.
Lin An didn't plan to tell others, but continued to cast spells to maintain the operation of witchcraft.
Ding~
After a sudden crisp and somewhat weird sound, everything returned to calm again.
Whether on the ghost ship or in the purgatory world, everyone felt as if they had a boundless and contentless dream.
Everyone was panting, looking up, and it seemed that nothing had happened on this continent except for the addition of a bronze gate.
This seemed to be consistent with what Lin An had said before, so everyone began to get nervous.
"Everyone be alert!"
In the purgatory world, the ghost grandmother yelled, holding a bronze spear in her hand, "The spirit world lich will be released. If it does not enter the resettlement position as expected, kill it immediately!"
The so-called resettlement position is what Lin An said.
As Lin An walked towards the bronze gate, he waved the blood-colored staff in his hand, and gray-black smoke appeared in every corner of the continent, outlining the appearance of the monster bit by bit.
The extraordinary people on the ghost ship also got off the ship and guarded every corner.
Creaky~~
The bronze gate was opened little by little.
Inside the gate, the black ocean was surging, and the shadow of a ghost ship was swaying on the sea.
On the deck, Chen Xinmi looked at the bronze gate in shock, and looked at the figure that appeared on the other side of the gate in disbelief.
"Lin An!"
Lin An grinned, so brilliantly, and stretched out his hands, "I said, I will come to pick you up!"
Boom!
Everything seemed to change from extremely quiet to extremely fast, and everything was agitated.
The black ocean tilted up suddenly, and the sea water surged towards the bronze gate frantically.
The ghost ship in the ocean was hit first, and it crashed directly into the ghost ship in the sky, and merged directly into one.
During the process, Lin An opened his arms and hugged Chen Xinmi on the deck, and the two stayed under the bronze gate.
The sea water surged beside them, but it seemed that it could not affect them.
In the sea water, there were constantly spirit world liches being washed out, crashing towards the figures outlined by the gray and black smoke, as if their positions had been determined long ago.
The sea poured!
The sea water surged and raged on the continent!
The spirit world liches roared and struggled in the sea water!
Everyone was on guard!
Only in the bronze gate, where everything was covered, Lin An hugged Chen Xinmi tightly, happily looking at this face that he thought about day and night, "Cat~"
"Hmm~"
Before he had time to express his longing, Chen Xinmi had already kissed him hard.
It was so hot.
It was like the black sea surging around me.
