Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 757: Chapter 686: The Footsteps of War_2

The glow dissipated, revealing the figures within.

Sawami’s body, though damaged, no longer bled, and most of the negative factors had been cleared, so it wouldn’t deteriorate further.

“Take good care of him, I have to meet someone first.”

“Rest assured, we will certainly not let this lad Sawami die.”

As guardians of the Heaven Gate, Candi and Ska naturally knew Sawami, which made them even more curious, but they did not press further as the True Witch King’s Seat did not speak.

After finishing his instructions, Ivan stepped forward and appeared at the Supreme Court.

Without alerting anyone else, a tower-like robust man appeared beside the city wall of the Supreme Court, and Ivan quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

“Greetings, Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain, I didn’t expect to alarm you, my apologies.”

“The stillness leads to action, I just came out for a walk.”

Indeed, the robust figure before him was none other than Danaila’s most powerful being—the Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain, an eighth-level progenitor.

Seeing his appearance, Ivan immediately understood; no wonder the strange snake earlier did not continue its chase, it was deterred by the Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain’s aura.

Otherwise, Sawami, along with that bit of his soul thought, might not have survived.

Ivan sincerely thanked him again and invited the ancestor inside as a guest.

“Here is fine, do you know what was chasing you just now?” The Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain stood in place, surveying the entirety of Truth City with a glance.

“A strange cyan snake, but I don’t know what kind of creature it actually is, I was just about to consult with you, my lord.” Ivan shook his head and quickly recounted the previous situation.

To be honest, he was still quite baffled.

“You rely too much on the constraints of the planes on creatures. This world is vast, and there will always be existences that break the norm, not just isolated cases.” The Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain continued.

“Are there many such existences?” Ivan asked again.

“Quite the contrary, such existences are extremely rare, you simply happened to encounter one.” The Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain knew what he was worried about and gave a reassuring answer.

“As for that creature just now, its power level is certainly higher than yours, you’d better not provoke it again.”

“I understand, such an existence is beyond my capability.”

Hearing the ancestor’s warning, Ivan quickly nodded; without reaching the supreme level, he certainly would not set foot in the Smoldering Iron Plane again, even disconnecting everything left there, wholly abandoning it.

He didn’t find it a pity either; with the Three Create All Things and Heaven Gate having set up so many planes, encountering just one strong foe could be considered quite fortunate.

A fall is a lesson learned, he will be more cautious in the future.

“You have a lot of drive; your strength has progressed nicely.” The Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain glanced at him and nodded slightly.

“Still a long way to go.” Ivan responded humbly, but secretly felt a bit pleased.

Since the formation of the universal web, through the Black Star members of various planes, he had been gathering the unique knowledge and cultivation systems exclusive to these planes, comparing these unique forces, greatly enriching his own foundation.

The collisions and fusions of various knowledge greatly benefited him.

The originally slow-growing strength began to increase rapidly, leading to the current progress, even the ancestor could not help but praise.

“Time to go.”

“Safe travels, ancestor.”

“War is imminent, and there will be areas where your sorcerers can contribute.”

The Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain stepped forward, instantly traversing an unknown distance, with only his voice faintly returning, ringing clearly in Ivan’s ears.

It was only after a while Ivan straightened his body.

“War, ah, it is indeed what we have been preparing for, finally upon us.” Of course, he understood which aspect of war the ancestor referred to, Danaila versus the Ash Plane, two large planes.

It was foreseeable that the war between the two planes would inevitably be an intense battle, unlike the previous skirmishes.

In fact, this was not the first time Ivan had been reminded of this; many years ago, when he was at the Fangyu Paradise where the Dark Night Mother Goddess resided, the Dark Night Mother Goddess had given a hint, saying a war with the Ash Plane would break out within ten years.

It wasn’t much different from what the Ancient Ancestor of Dark Mountain had said.

“When the time comes, respond accordingly, take it step by step.”

With long-anticipated events, he certainly wouldn’t lose his composure now; besides, the sorcerer world had been developing well recently, with some self-preservation capabilities, they should not be ground to dust by the great war.

Now, apart from him as the True Witch King’s Seat, the entire sorcerer world also had two great witch kings, respectively the Long Sky Witch King and the Wanmu Witch King.

Indeed, the original King of Ten Thousand Woods had recently stepped into the Level 6 tier, just hadn’t formed a seat.

As for the Void King side, the original Great Sage Battler Gardner successfully advanced to Level 5, earning the new title of ‘King of Hundred Peaks’, maintaining the number of Void King Wizards unchanged with one up and one down.

In the Level 4 aspect, there are 57 Arcane Wizards and 64 other lords, both have seen some increase compared to before.

Overall, the momentum of the entire sorcerer world was soaring, not fearing the upcoming war.

“True Witch King’s Seat, why are you standing outside instead of going in?”

In the Truth Hall, the Queen of Frost Philomena noticed Ivan, seeing him somewhat lost in thought, she quickly walked out.

“Queen of Frost, the steps of war are closing in.”

“Ha?”

“Send out a notice, besides the Ice Queen who is in seclusion, gather all the witch kings and void kings for a meeting, we need to arrange everything early, this is no child’s play.”

“Alright, I will notify them immediately.”

Seeing the grave expression of the True Witch King’s Seat, Philomena felt a slight chill in her heart, said no more, and hurried back to the Truth Hall.

Not long after, numerous high-level wizards gathered, discussing for three whole days and nights.

…

The third layer of the Underworld.

Trembling Paradise, a bizarre place that other beings avoided.

At this moment, the Ancient King Nicole stationed there was engulfed in anxiety, flying back and forth across the Great Rift Valley where the paradise was located.

“What to do, what to do?”

“Julia and the others are in great danger, if rescue isn’t sent soon, they might not make it back, no, no, the paradise cannot do without Julia and the others.”

“But Nicole alone can’t save everyone.”

“Go seek help from the neighboring Azure King’s Seat? Inappropriate, that place is so perilous, why would Azure King’s Seat intervene to save others.”

“How about going to the True Witch King’s Seat?”

“But will he agree to help Nicole? The last time Nicole concealed the truth from the True Witch King’s Seat.”

Under the glorious sunlight, Nicole’s small figure darted to the edge of the rift several times, only to retreat again, showing a heart full of contradiction.

Most of the beings in the paradise were plant-based, and Nicole was evidently one of them too.

She was a nine-leaf nine-flower, innately sensitive and shy, even though the strange environment of the paradise had granted her the status of an ancient king, her original nature remained unchanged.

For Nicole, holding the fort at the paradise was her utmost effort, expecting her to undertake other major tasks was clearly beyond her capacity.

“Has anyone of you been to the surface?”

Having paced back and forth numerous times, thinking of the dire situation of Julia and others, she gritted her teeth and made a decision, deciding to find herself a few companions.

“No one?”

“Forget it, Alina, Helen, you both come with me to the surface, let’s find that seemingly reliable Sorcerer Ivan.”

“Is he the True Witch King’s Seat you mentioned?”

“Correct, we must find him quickly.”

“Eh?”

Then, without caring whether the others were willing or not, Nicole waved a big hand, pulling two other tall figures, resolutely flying out of the Great Rift Valley.

As time flew by, the trio traversed mountains and rivers, after several twists and turns, finally appeared at Truth City.

When Ivan saw them in person, the three of Nicole were in quite a ragged state; upon inquiry, he learned they had taken the wrong path several times, wandering aimlessly to arrive here.

This left him feeling both amused and exasperated.

“True Witch King’s Seat, Nicole beseeches you to save Julia and the others, can you?” Nicole and the three fell prostrate to the ground vehemently.

“The Ash Plane? No problem, let’s go together.”

“That’s wonderful.”
