The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

He went into seclusion for a full ten years without really understanding what was going on.

Although Lynn used Lord Kenzat's rule crystallization to elevate the rules of combat to an extremely high level, he was only one step away from complete perfection.

But that was a full ten years.

Moreover, it was ten years that passed quietly without him being prepared.

Now that he has just regained consciousness, he has learned from Lord Kenzat that something seems to have happened in the Natural God Dynasty.

Lynn could no longer sit still.

Without pausing for a moment, he hurriedly left Zhushen Island and the Eastern Region Wizard Council branch, heading straight for the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

After all, Lord Kenzart's words were vague.

This Lady Radiant Moon was ultimately not a member of the Natural God Dynasty, and only occasionally heard about what was happening within the Natural God Dynasty.

All he knew was that something seemed to have gone wrong with Kita-no-Tori.

As for what exactly happened, we'll have to return to the Natural Merchant Pavilion and ask the wizards there.

………………

The city of abundance has two levels, one above the other, separated by a network of crisscrossing aerial tracks.

Without the slightest delay, Lynn instantly unleashed the rule-based sorcery "Close to Heaven".

Even today, "Zhi Fang Li Tian" remains his fastest means of traveling.

The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Between heaven and earth, a streak of gray light suddenly pierced the sky, like a divine sword tearing the firmament apart, leaving a faint gray trail in mid-air as it sped toward the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

It moves so fast that it is completely invisible to the naked eye.

As he sped along, a thought involuntarily flashed through Lynn's mind.

"I went into seclusion for ten years..."

"As for the Natural Merchant Pavilion, the competition for the Pavilion Master should have ended long ago, right?"

Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What a pity about Momomaru the Wizard."

"I ultimately didn't have time to vote for her."

"I hope she can successfully take up the position of Pavilion Master."

"Otherwise, if Magnolia Flower Wizard really becomes the Pavilion Master, it would be somewhat awkward for him to accept the gift from Peach Maru Wizard back then..."

As he pondered, the Natural Merchant Pavilion drew ever closer.

The towering ancient tree that supports the entire Natural Merchant Pavilion has already come into view, like an ancient divine tree standing between heaven and earth, its branches and leaves blocking out the sun.

Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly, and his speed increased dramatically once again.

He transformed into a streak of gray light and flew straight toward the massive trunk extending from the ancient tree.

However, just as they were getting closer, Lynn suddenly raised an eyebrow.

On the extended platform, a figure was already quietly waiting.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Lynn's lips twitched slightly.

The person standing there was none other than the Magnolia Flower Faith Wizard, dressed in an elegant long dress.

"No way……"

"When did my mouth become so eloquent?"

"Could it be that she really became the head of the Natural Commerce Pavilion?"

A strange feeling welled up in Lynn's heart.

However, he quickly regained his composure and slowly landed on the tree trunk platform.

But as soon as their feet touched the ground, the Magnolia Flower Wizard quickly stepped forward and, without hesitation, respectfully bowed to Lynn.

"Lord Lynn, you've finally emerged from Godslayer Island..."

Upon seeing this, Lynn stopped speaking as soon as he was about to.

If the shaman Ruomu Lianhua truly has already taken the position of head of the Natural Commerce Pavilion...

Given her current status, it seems there's no need for her to perform such a solemn ceremony for me.

....................................

The top floor of the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

The lush canopy of trees blocked out the scorching sunlight, leaving only large areas of cool shade.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, creating a soft, peaceful sound.

Lynn and Magnolia Blossom stood side by side under the shade of a tree.

Lynn listened quietly to the other party's report.

The Wood Lotus Belief Wizard also understood that Lynn had been in seclusion for a full ten years and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.

Therefore, she didn't waste any words and directly recounted what had happened over the past ten years.

It turned out that about three months after Lynn entered the God-Slaying Island for seclusion, Miss North Bird returned to the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

At the same time, a resource site that Natural Merchant Pavilion had been monitoring finally came to be opened.

So, Granny Guwen and Miss Bei Niao went to that resource site together.

That resource-rich area is located at the intersection of several major powers.

Although several nearby forces are qualified to participate in the competition, how much they ultimately gain depends entirely on their respective strength and methods.

On the side of the Natural God Dynasty, not only was Bei Niao, the Lord of the Northern Territory at the Morning Star Realm, personally in charge, but Granny Gu Wen, a mid-stage sixth-level Morning Star Wizard, was also accompanying them.

Logically speaking, the Divine Dynasty should have gained a great deal from this battle for resource lands.

However, no one expected this.

The real surprise, however, happened after the resource area was opened.

The essence of resource-rich areas is that the wizarding world absorbs the vast resources continuously offered by the Eastern Region Wizarding Council branch, further strengthening the world's origin. Then, the world's origin nourishes the heavens and earth, giving birth to all kinds of rare and precious materials.

The entire process itself is not dangerous. Once the resources are fully revealed, each faction can compete for them based on its own abilities.

But this time, an unexpected little incident occurred.

It's even hard to say whether this is a disaster or an opportunity.

Because... this resource area is actually connected to the rules layer.

It wasn't until many Morning Star wizards ventured deep into the heart of the resource area that they discovered this anomaly.

Resource areas belong to the material plane of the Wizarding World, while the rule layer belongs to a deeper rule plane of the Wizarding World.

Under normal circumstances, the two will not intersect at all.

Unless... something major happens that is significant enough to affect the entire structure of the world.

For example, when the Wizarding World was on the verge of collapse, the material plane and the rule plane shattered simultaneously, becoming interconnected.

However, the wizarding world is now prosperous and peaceful, having lasted for countless millennia, so such a thing is naturally impossible.

Then, only one other possibility remains.

Human intervention.

After all, once the Morning Star Realm advances further and the Wizard enters the Radiant Moon Realm, he will truly enter the Rule Layer, where he will merge with the rules and complete his final transformation.

That place was originally where His Majesty Huiyue cultivated, underwent tribulations, and went into seclusion.

The former west Ye disappeared into the deeper rule plane corresponding to the Natural God Dynasty when he broke through to the Radiant Moon realm. For any Morning Star Realm expert, breaking through to the Radiant Moon realm requires stepping into the rule layer.

If successful, one will transcend the morning star and ascend to the radiant moon.

If we fail... it will be like a whale falling, but all things will be born.

All the knowledge gained from a lifetime of cultivation, along with all the rules one has mastered, will return to the rule plane of the wizarding world and become part of the world.

The situation here is clearly very similar to that when Xiye broke through Huiyue back then.

A former Morning Star Realm expert once secluded himself in that area, merging with the rules of the plane, attempting to take the final step.

However, he ultimately failed to break through and perished there. The deepest part of the resource area was precisely where he had once secluded himself for cultivation.

Today, as resource-rich areas receive nourishment from the world's resources, that long-dormant region is re-emerging into the world.

As the group of Morning Star Wizards ventured deep into the core of the resource area, they inadvertently stumbled into the domain of rules left behind by the fallen Morning Star master.

Although that Morning Star Realm expert ultimately failed to break through, he had at least taken half a step.

Even if they die and their cultivation dissipates, the residual power of their rules is far beyond what ordinary Morning Star Realm experts can compare to.

As a result, that area evolved into an extremely unique prison of rules, trapping all the Morning Star wizards who ventured into it, unable to enter or leave.

Granny Guwen, Miss Bei Niao, and the group of Morning Star Wizards who accompanied them into the resource area were all trapped there.

According to various speculations, the time since the fall of the Morning Star Extreme Realm member who failed to reach the Radiant Moon should not have been too long.

Otherwise, given the assimilation speed of the rule "one whale falls, all things are born," all the rule power he left behind should have long since been completely integrated into the rule plane of the wizarding world, instead of forming such a complete rule cage.

For this reason, the planned change of leadership at the Natural Merchant Pavilion was forced to be halted.

Therefore, even now, Granny Gu Wen is still the head of the Natural Business Pavilion.

Meanwhile, both Momomaru the Wizard and Mulanhua the Wizard retained their positions as deputy pavilion masters.

Now, that cage of rules has lasted for a full decade, and no one can answer how long it will last.

However, the major powers in the vicinity have yet to ask His Majesty Huiyue to intervene and rescue the people inside.

The reason is simple: although that area has become a prison, there is no real danger there.

The Morning Star Extreme Realm cultivator who attempted to reach the Radiant Moon has long since perished.

What remains is nothing more than a cage naturally evolved from the power of the rules he lived in.

Within the cage, however, remained his various insights into the rules, traces of his cultivation, and even countless fragments of the rules he left behind when he broke through to the Radiant Moon realm.

For Morningstar Wizards, especially those who have already reached the Morningstar Realm and are preparing to challenge the Radiant Moon.

That place was simply a dream come true, a place of incredible opportunity.

If one could personally immerse oneself in it and comprehend the rules and traces left behind by a Morning Star Realm expert attempting to break through to the Radiant Moon Realm, even just glimpsing a fragment would be enough to benefit one for a lifetime.

For this reason, after the news spread, the major forces in the vicinity did not invite His Majesty Radiant Moon to forcibly tear apart this broken prison of rules.

Instead, they continuously dispatched their Morning Star Wizards to enter the area, using the fragments of rules left behind by the fallen powerhouse to comprehend its mysteries.

Of course, not all Morning Star Extremes will choose to enter.

After all, this is the path left behind by a failed attempt to break through.

Some Morning Star Realm cultivators have already established their own cultivation paths and are unwilling to be influenced by the paths of others, much less to learn from the breakthrough experience of a failure, so they disdain this approach.

Upon hearing this, Lynn finally showed a look of realization.

In this light, it's truly difficult to say whether this cage of rules is a calamity or an opportunity.

At least for Morningstar wizards, especially those in the Morningstar Extreme Realm who are only one step away from the Radiant Moon, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lynn had a new question in his mind.

Since that cage of rules posed no danger, why was the Magnolia Flower Belief Wizard so anxious?
Moreover, Lord Kenzat had previously mentioned that the situation on the North Bird's side didn't seem too good.

"Could it be... that something has changed in that area in the past ten years?"

Lynn asked.

Upon hearing this, the sorcerer Mulianhua Xin quickly continued to explain:

"Lord Lynn... there have indeed been some changes in that area recently."

"Ten years have passed, and some of the Morning Star wizards trapped inside have been there for too long. They want to break free of their cages as soon as possible."

"But another group of people see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wish the cage could stay indefinitely. Therefore, they not only refuse to leave, but also continue to reinforce that cage of rules..."

Hearing this, Lynn finally understood completely.

Indeed, opportunity may be opportunity, but it is ultimately a prison.

After being trapped for ten years, some people will naturally want to leave, while others will be tempted by the opportunity and not want to miss it.

The two sides have different positions, so their ideas are naturally completely different.

The Magnolia Flower Shaman continued:

"In addition, Lord Northern Bird specifically left instructions."

"Once Lord Lynn finishes her seclusion, please take the Radiant Moon Relic and go to escort her away immediately."

At this point, even the Magnolia Flower Shaman couldn't help but reveal a hint of awe in his eyes.

Although Lynn's cultivation level was not much different from hers, this Lord Lynn was the one who was truly capable of wielding the Radiant Moon Relic.

This alone makes the two sides completely different.

Once the Radiant Moon Relic is truly activated, the power it can unleash is beyond the comprehension of ordinary Morning Star Wizards.

If it were to be controlled by the Morning Star Realm expert, it would be enough to transform into a being on the verge of becoming a half-step Radiant Moon, with no rivals below the Radiant Moon.

Although Lynn was only a mid-stage fifth-level Morning Star Wizard, with the blessing of the Radiant Moon Relic, the combat power she could truly unleash was far beyond what she, a late-stage fifth-level Morning Star Wizard, could imagine.

"I see."

Lynn nodded, but a slight thought flickered in his heart.

What about Kita-Tori's own Shining Moon Relic? Why didn't he bring it with him?

And... how did she know that she had brought the Spirit of the Azure Sky to the Eastern Region?
Could it be that she can sense the aura of the Azure Sky Spirit?

But this doesn't make sense at all, since the Azure Sky Spirit is the Radiant Moon Sacred Object of the Western Yuan Forest Domain.

As the lord of the Northern Region, how was she able to detect the existence of another Radiant Moon Relic?

Suddenly, all sorts of doubts resurfaced in Lynn's mind.

However, he did not dwell on it further.

Since Kita-no-Tori left a message, it means that the matter is extremely urgent.

So Lynn immediately gave the order:

"In that case, let's set off immediately for that resource area."

"In addition, please provide me with a list of all parties involved in this resource area competition, as well as the list of their top fighters and intelligence."

In fact, even without the instructions left by North Bird, Lynn would have definitely gone there himself after learning about it.

After all, the rule cage left behind by a Morning Star who failed to break through to the Radiant Moon realm is an opportunity that is hard to resist for any Morning Star wizard.

He also wanted to see with his own eyes what the Morning Star Extreme would experience during its ascent to the Radiant Moon.

But what kind of world will be left behind after a failed breakthrough?

"Yes, Lord Lynn."

The shaman, Mulian Huaxin, quickly bowed and responded. (End of Chapter)
