Chapter 526: Chapter 454: The Grand Purchase
"Offensively, there’s the ’Fire Extinction Divine Light’, defensively, the ’Ruins Armor’, for reconnaissance, the ’Cause and Effect Tracing Technique’, and for movement and stealth, the ’Void Step’..."
In his consciousness, Jeming simulated, "With this, a basic combat system based on magic spells has been roughly constructed."
"If this whole set is constructed fully, according to the destructive power of the Fire Extinction Divine Light, it should be enough for me to face a Sixth Level Wizard directly. Paired with my spatial technology combat system, it can handle most battlefield environments at least..."
The next task is to deconstruct these three Cultivation Immortality Methods, just as the Fire Extinction Divine Light was transformed.
Then use Wizard Runes and models for reconstruction, and design corresponding driving and encapsulation schemes...
This step is neither too difficult nor too simple.
After all, each spell is meticulously researched and constructed by Divinity Transformation cultivators, making it not easy to learn.
But speaking of difficulty, the efficiency of boosting combat power is quicker than the nearly endless accumulation of knowledge.
"Let me see... which spell should I start with first?"
After choosing the three spells as transformation targets, Jeming wasted no time and immediately began the first step - purchasing large quantities of Plane Origin.
There’s no other way, mainly it’s for the better analysis of [Ruins Armor].
According to the records in the Great Dao Book Pavilion, the reason this defensive spell has the miraculous effect of absorbing, decomposing, and storing energy attacks is that its core is not some complex energy structure or Rune alignment, but that it incorporates the realm of "Returning Ruins."
In ancient myths of the Cultivation Immortality Realm, Returning Ruins is the end of all things.
The ultimate destination for all energy, matter, and even time and information.
It is the ultimate "concept" that only takes in and devours everything.
This kind of "finality" and "devour" realm is imprinted into the defensive spell through specific Heart Methods and Spells, giving [Ruins Armor] its terrifying potential to theoretically absorb unlimited energy attacks.
However, realms like these are unfathomably mysterious.
They are not concrete Laws or measurable energy parameters, but more like a "vague understanding" and "mental reflection" of some universal truth or ultimate phenomenon.
It can be said that the so-called "realm" is actually a prelude to the conceptual technology of the Cultivation Immortality World.
Ruins Armor is in fact a fusion of conceptual technology and magic.
At Jeming’s current level of understanding, although he can’t comprehend conceptual technology, memorizing and applying it by rote isn’t a problem.
But the key issue is his insufficient comprehension of the Returning Ruins realm, after all, he is a spirited genius Wizard, unless there’s a specific experience, understanding this realm is indeed quite challenging.
Fortunately, Jeming has "money" power.
The Wizard World is vast, and there is deep research and corresponding Law manifestation for concepts like "end", "devour", "void", and "abyss".
Though the systems differ, and the expressions vary, some inherent traits can corroborate each other.
"Instead of pondering the elusive realm of ’Returning Ruins’, it’s better to start with the ’materialization’ knowledge of similar concepts already in the Wizard World."
Not wanting to waste any time, Jeming made a pragmatic choice.
Through the Magic Network Terminal, he placed massive orders with the Star Ring Federation’s official resource library and several reputable large cross-plane merchant guilds.
The procurement targets were Plane Origins that contained related Laws such as "devour", "absorb", "annihilate", "abyss", "endless void", and "entropy end".
Strands of Plane Origins sealed in special Force Fields, showing varying hues and characteristics, were delivered continuously to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane like the most precious gems.
Some were ink-black, seeming to absorb all light; some were dull and murky, exuding the breath of universal decay; others were of a deep dark purple, with whirling vortices inside...
Jeming’s approach to studying the Returning Ruins realm was simple yet extravagant - directly "consuming" these Plane Origins.
Through specific rituals and mental Resonance, he extracted the "knowledge information stream" related to corresponding Laws or concepts from a strand of Plane Origin,
This method is highly efficient, as long as he has enough knowledge, he naturally gains the related concepts.
But the cost is also extremely high.
Each strand of Plane Origin is worth a fortune, and Jeming consumes several strands each day.
More critically, this "spoon-fed" knowledge acquisition has inherent flaws.
He merely "knows" the content of that knowledge, like memorizing a complex and profound textbook.
The manifestations of those Laws, Rune configurations, interaction formulas with other Laws, historical application cases... these pieces of information indeed imprinted in his memory bank.
But he does not truly "understand" the deep logic behind this knowledge, the creators’ thought processes, or the essential functioning nature.
He knows what it is, but not why it is.
Without the long years of personal research, validation, trial and error, and understanding, this knowledge is more like a "database" stored in his consciousness rather than "wisdom" that integrates with his Soul.
Moreover, the daily expenses for transforming spells and crafting new Witchcraft Artifacts’ various rare materials were like a drain.
Even with the stable income brought by the "Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol" and "Liquid Refined Gold", it gradually became insufficient.
Luckily, the heavens always open a path for people.
As news of the Starfall Wizard receiving the "First Level Cultivation Agreement" spread through the high-level Wizard circles,
though many details were blurred, some Wizards noticed key points, and the associated "imaginary element" caught the attention of even more powerful Wizards.
Many, though unable to gain the groundbreaking inspiration like Starfall, hoped to find new possibilities or supplements for their own paths through studying this peculiar Energy.
As a result, requests and orders to Jeming for purchasing "imaginary elements" quietly increased, with buyers’ levels and spending generosity surpassing previous times.
Jeming welcomed all comers.
Incense Fire Divine Dao stabilized its operation on the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, and after several rounds of optimization, its Elemental Spiritual Qi Transformation System ran faster daily, producing considerable high-purity Spiritual Qi.
This Spiritual Qi was refined, packaged into standard units, and securely traded out through Magic Net channels.
Bringing Jeming substantial, almost continuous income.
It was this new "side income" that allowed Jeming to sustain his extravagant, gold-devouring research, immersing himself daily in the impact of various Plane Origin knowledge about "end" and "devour".
