Sixth Ring Wizard

The plaza was bustling with people, and Herag discovered that among them were quite a few wizard apprentices.

In front of the plaza stood a massive building, surrounded by various architectural complexes.

The third floor housed the area where the Sixth Ring Tower handled various affairs, and where many offices were located.

There was a special agency for promotion to Level 3 Wizard, known as the Astrology Tower.

Following the instructions in the Wizard's Mark, Herag navigated through the city and arrived outside the Astrology Tower.

The shape of the Astrology Tower matched its name, towering impressively.

Herag estimated it to be over a thousand meters tall, though he didn't closely look at the number of floors.

Besides serving as a venue for promoting Level 3 Wizards, it was also a place for studying astrology.

Astrology was the only magic branch Herag knew of that had some connection to the rule of fate.

Astrology was a vast branch with an extensive knowledge system; ordinary people could spend years just learning its basic knowledge.

Even after spending so much time, entering its domain was not guaranteed, as astrology placed more emphasis on qualifications.

The qualifications for astrology were rather mystical and unrelated to wizard qualifications.

Even those with excellent wizard qualifications might not possess a shred of astrology qualifications.

Herag planned to look into some astrology-related books and gain some understanding later.

He didn't expect to enter the field of astrology, but broadening his knowledge was always beneficial.

Herag entered the first-floor lobby of the Astrology Tower, and after explaining his purpose, he was escorted by a young lady in a short, tight skirt to ride the elevator upstairs.

The Astrology Tower had elevators, though their power source wasn't electrical, they could indeed reach the top floor, thousands of meters high.

The lady attending to Herag was named Shiludi, a Level 1 Wizard who had recently graduated from the Wizard Academy and was now interning at the Astrology Tower.

Having just arrived at the Astrology Tower, Shiludi wasn't assigned many important tasks, so she was tasked with guiding those needing to be promoted to Level 3 Wizard.

Shiludi was very young, exuding a youthful vibe, and was very enthusiastic towards Herag, constantly wearing a positive, sunny smile.

The elevator stopped at the 178th floor, and as the door opened, a very quiet hall lay before them.

There were several windows around the hall, with a wizard working behind each of them.

Shiludi led Herag to each window to complete procedures one by one, signing and verifying identity.

The procedures were very cumbersome, with many steps, but under Shiludi's guidance, they were all orderly completed one by one.

Finally, it was time for the formal promotion ceremony.

This ceremony didn't require drinking a magic potion but required chanting some ancient incantations.

Led by an old wizard who looked like an elderly nun, the old wizard chanted a phrase, then Herag followed suit.

Herag felt it was similar to ancient tribe rituals invoking the gods, but here it seemed to commemorate the wizards who established the Boundary Land, not any gods.

Under the guidance of the old nun, Herag completed the process solemnly and reverently.

Afterwards, he was led to a room.

The floor was engraved with countless intricate patterns, which Herag immediately recognized as a powerful witch array.

The patterns on the floor were actually coverings, not true witch array runes.

Were these Level 2 and Level 1 Wizards to directly see those runes, they might have their brains fried, which is why these patterns conceal the actual runes.

The intent wasn't to prevent theft but to ensure those viewing them had sufficient spiritual power to avoid mental collapse.

Herag stood at the center of the witch array, with no one else around.

The command he received was to stand there, activate the meditation method, and wait.

Herag activated the Starry Sky Meditation Technique, calming his spirit.

The once dark surroundings suddenly lit up, and Herag found himself seemingly standing in the void, surrounded by boundless cosmic stars.

Beside Herag was a gigantic planet slowly rotating, enveloped in silence and stillness.

Suddenly, Herag felt as if he were being watched by some presence.

This gaze was not uncomfortable, and he could sense the absence of hostility from the other party.

Herag glanced at his arm, as if something were stroking him.

Moreover, soon this sensation spread across his entire body, as if enveloped by something.

Herag quickly realized that what enveloped him was rule power.

This was a very complex rule power, and from it, Herag sensed a few rule powers he had previously comprehended, while many other rule powers were impossible for him to perceive finely.

Herag immediately understood that what enveloped him was plane consciousness, specifically the plane consciousness controlled by the Sixth Ring Tower.

Unlike other planes, this plane consciousness did not possess autonomy but was completely controlled by the Sixth Ring Tower.

Once enveloped by the plane consciousness, Herag felt as if a door had been opened within him, leading to this world.

Since his promotion to Level 2 Wizard, he had been able to see and perceive the existence of rules.

But previously, that perception was relatively vague, not entirely clear, requiring the use of the Key of Rules for proper comprehension.

Now, with those doors open within, Herag was perpetually in the state that allowed him to use the Key of Rules.

In just a moment, Herag's body and mind received a flood of knowledge and information.

All this knowledge and information came from various rules, which in their normal operations divulged countless insights, overwhelming him.

Herag was currently being bombarded by this information; had his spiritual power not been high enough, he might not have endured such a vast amount of information.

He vaguely understood that ordinary people couldn't perceive the existence of rules because plane consciousness protected them.

When such a colossal amount of information enveloped them, ordinary people's bodies and minds simply couldn't withstand it.

Only by cultivating spiritual power to a certain level, and having some understanding and mastery of rules, could one avoid being overwhelmed by the sudden torrent of massive information.

Since Herag had already sensed multiple rule powers and had an understanding of their operations, he wasn't going to shut down from the receipt of so much information.

This information was extremely beneficial to him, rapidly enhancing his mastery over various rule powers.

In just an instant, Herag gained deeper insights into the fundamental principles of rule operations and an enhanced understanding of using various rule powers.
