In the underground laboratory, protected by layers of defense barriers, Jieming took a deep breath, focusing his mind to its peak state.
With a wave of his hand, rows of crystal-clear potion bottles, each filled with liquids of vibrant colors and shimmering light, materialized neatly on the laboratory platform.
These were the magic potions he had purchased in advance, specifically designed to activate both his soul and body.
Inducing a state of "activation" in the soul and body was a well-established technique within the wizard civilization, with a mature technological framework.
Jieming didn't need to conduct any dangerous experiments himself. He simply had to follow the instructions in the manual, drinking these expensive potions one by one in the prescribed order.
The first bottle contained the "Cell Activator," a potion that burned like fire.
As the liquid slid down his throat, a scorching warmth instantly spread through his limbs and bones.
Jieming could clearly feel every cell in his body awakening from its slumber, now vibrating with unprecedented fervor.
His mind sharpened to an unprecedented clarity, his senses amplified beyond measure. He could even "hear" the faint Breath of the elements in the air.
Before Jieming could fully savor the exhilarating sensation, he swiftly downed several more magic potions in sequence. These potions were designed to stabilize his body, preventing it from collapsing under the strain of its heightened activity.
Once his condition stabilized, Jieming consumed several different types of stabilizing potions, primarily to maintain the effects of the activating potions.
Only when his entire body reached a delicate equilibrium was the first round of potion consumption complete.
Next came the second round, beginning with the "Soul Resonance Fluid," a potion as tranquil as the deep cosmos.
The icy liquid slid down his throat, yet the sensation surged directly into his sea of soul.
Jieming felt as if his soul had been immersed in a warm, nurturing ocean, where all stagnation and fatigue were washed away.
Immediately afterward, his computational abilities and thinking speed exploded!
Countless complex witchcraft models and vast stores of knowledge swirled through his mind at unprecedented speed, colliding and recombining...
He felt almost omnipotent, as if he could unravel any mystery in the universe in an instant, should he choose to.
Jieming couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
It goes without saying how incredibly advantageous this state would be for research and learning.
Even in the heat of battle, where every moment counts, it could provide a significant tactical edge.
And a second-tier wizard could maintain this state permanently!
Imagine the heightened awareness they would possess in combat.
While marveling at this, Jieming didn't forget to turn his attention to the remaining magic potions before him.
The core potions for achieving extreme activation of the soul body were the cell activator and the Soul Resonance Fluid.
The remaining potions were designed to complement these two, stabilizing the body and soul while ensuring the stability of the potion effects.
Having just consumed over a dozen potions with varying flavors, Jieming couldn't help but twitch his lips at the sight of the remaining pile.
He now understood why some people, despite the convenience of magic potions, still opted for surgical modifications.
It was fortunate that transcendents possessed enhanced digestive capabilities. An ordinary person would likely die from overconsumption of potions alone.
As he mechanically downed the potions in sequence, Jieming's mind wandered to these trivial thoughts.
This mental hyperactivity was a consequence of the synchronized activation of his brain and soul.
After consuming all the magic potions and ensuring their effects had fully manifested, Jieming submerged a portion of his consciousness into his vast sea of consciousness.
Over the past fifty years of study and refinement, his spiritual sea had long since shed its initial emptiness.
Apart from the ancient and mysterious Ring of Truth, the entire spiritual sea was now completely filled with witchcraft models of all shapes and sizes.
Some of these models were self-constructed through his study of various knowledge, while others were purchased and imitated to complete missions.
Regardless of their origin, the four foundational spells Jieming had independently constructed based on his own understanding and core knowledge remained at the very center of his spiritual sea:
Alchemy, Analysis Art, Extraction Art, and... the Universal Eye!
As the activation of his soul continued to progress, Jieming's entire sea of consciousness began to stir with renewed vitality.
He glanced into his spiritual sea, at the dense array of witchcraft models that had accompanied him for decades, a hint of nostalgia flickering in his eyes.
Then, without hesitation, he issued the command in his mind: Disperse!
Buzz...
The vast number of witchcraft models began to violently disintegrate simultaneously.
They dissolved into their purest runic forms, then vanished completely, releasing the immense mental power they had contained.
This colossal surge of mental power erupted within the confined spiritual sea, creating towering waves that violently shook the entire domain.
For an ordinary wizard apprentice, even dismantling a single basic witchcraft model would have caused a mental shock severe enough to inflict serious injury or even madness.
However, a first-tier wizard's spiritual sea was inherently far more resilient than that of a wizard apprentice.
Moreover, the Ring of Truth provided unwavering stability, and Jieming had spent years deliberately cultivating his spiritual sea's resilience through cultivator techniques.
Thus, the simultaneous dissolution of so many witchcraft models only caused a slight dizziness, as if someone had gently tapped his head with a heavy hammer.
The discomfort vanished almost immediately, leaving him feeling nothing at all.
Seeing the mental power released from the collapsing models surge to life like wild, untamed horses, Jieming knew the moment had arrived.
He immediately focused his mind and formally began the advancement process.
The process of advancement, in essence, was quite "simple."
For a logistics wizard like Jieming, it involved using his will to transform all the knowledge he had learned and understood into unique runes, each containing profound truths.
He then meticulously and precisely added these runes to his existing Ring of Truth, like building blocks, reconstructing it into a more complex and powerful form.
Of course, this "simplicity" only applied to logistics wizards like Jieming, who possessed a deep accumulation of knowledge and exquisite control over their mental power.
For ordinary combat wizards, even the first step—safely manipulating a large number of wizard models to simultaneously dissolve without injury—would prove insurmountable for many.
Moreover, maintaining the "activation" of both body and soul required vast quantities of resources.
Many combat wizards with limited resources might need to accumulate wealth for centuries, even with no special opportunities, just to barely afford the resources for a single advancement.
Jieming's advancement process, however, proceeded with extraordinary smoothness, taking only a few months.
During this time, he remained completely secluded.
His daily routine consisted of continuously consuming magic potions to maintain his body and soul in a peak-stage state of activation.
Then, he meticulously integrated every fragment of his life's accumulated knowledge into the ever-expanding Ring of Truth.
When the final rune was successfully imprinted onto the Ring of Truth, the entire ring erupted with a brilliant yet restrained radiance!
After Jieming reconstructed the Ring of Truth into a form even he found bewilderingly complex, he was astonished to discover its post-advancement size—it nearly filled his entire spiritual sea.
Moreover, during this life sublimation process, his spiritual sea had unknowingly expanded many times over.
At this moment, even though the vast majority of his spiritual sea was filled by the colossal Ring of Truth, the circular void at its center was already larger than his entire spiritual sea had been before!
Jieming slowly opened his eyes, carefully savoring the intoxicating surge of mental power that came with his advancement to second-tier wizard. He marveled at his newfound ability to manipulate elemental power with the ease of breathing, nodding in satisfaction.
His threshold for controlling external elemental power had plummeted dramatically.
In the elementally stable Elosia Plane, even the previously inert and sluggish elemental forces that he couldn't even stir before now yielded effortlessly to his control.
Jieming estimated that with continued progress, by the time he reached the third-tier wizard realm, he would be able to forcibly manipulate even elements that had already coalesced into physical matter, using nothing but his pure mental power, at least in planes with relatively stable rules.
After a moment's contemplation, Jieming's mind stirred.
Four entirely new witchcraft models swiftly reformed within his spiritual sea, in the vast central void encircled by the Ring of Truth.
They were alchemy, extraction art, analysis art, and the Universal Eye.
However, these four models had undergone significant transformations compared to their pre-advancement states.
This was because during his advancement, Jieming had meticulously reorganized all his knowledge.
In that state of heightened soul activity, he had gained deeper, more profound insights into the knowledge associated with these four core spells.
As a result, the witchcraft models had automatically evolved.
The evolution of the other three spells need not be elaborated upon.
Jieming's most frequently used and mastered spell, alchemy, had finally achieved a qualitative breakthrough during this advancement.
It had shattered the limitations of "inorganic matter"!
Now, Jieming could directly manipulate and modify relatively simple organic matter using alchemy!
