Chapter 121 - 121: 107 (Must-read Chapter) “Illusion
With that thought, Milton Cheney tried to mobilize the spiritual power within his Spiritual Sea, only to find that he couldn’t.
In the Illusion Realm, he was no more than an ordinary person.
Cheney’s expression turned complex as he subconsciously placed his hand into his pocket, touching something hard inside.
A mobile phone, something non-existent in the Wizard Realm.
Unlocking the mobile phone and opening his contacts, he stared at the sequence of familiar, yet strange numbers. He picked one of the numbers and dialed it.
Dialing…Dialing…Connected.
A woman’s voice came from the other side.
“Hello, my son. What made you think of calling me? How is your job going?” Cheney gripped the phone tightly but couldn’t utter a single word.
He had so much to say, but all that came out was silence. “Hello, hello, what’s going on? What kind of signal is this?!”
“…mum, it’s good. Everything at home is fine too, right?”
“Oh, it’s fine again. Everything is fine, don’t worry about home. I’ll be at ease once you bring a wife home. I’m waiting to hug my grandson, after all, you
are…”
Listening to the familiar chatter, Cheney refrained from moving the phone away from his ear and placed it back again.
Given the circumstances, this might be the last chance to listen to such chatter in his lifetime. “Okay, I see, mum.”
Cheney stood still as he held the phone listening to the dial tone coming from the phone.
People were already dealing with the scene of the accident, with quite the crowd gathered around.
Cheney observed the many passers-by, some even taking a glance at this somewhat ‘strange’ young man.
He dialed another number from his contacts.
After a while, a steady male voice emerged from the other end.
“Hey, you called your mother and now me. Could have just talked to me through your mother’s phone, why waste your own phone allowance? What happened?”
Hearing this voice, the complexity on Cheney’s face faded away, transforming into a relaxed smile.
“It’s nothing, dad. Just felt like calling you.”
“Hmm, if you’re not busy recently, come for a visit. It’s not that far anyway, just a few hours by train.”
“Alright, got it.”
After hanging up, Cheney dialed his sister’s number but failed to get through.
His sister was probably in military training, so her not picking up was normal.
After putting the phone back in his pocket, Cheney looked around at this familiar yet foreign world.
For some reason, he felt inexorably out of place here.
Even though he had originally crossed from this world into the Wizard Realm, this realm now struck him as tremendously unfamiliar.
And so, for the half-year that followed.
Cheney quit his job, went home to spend some time with his parents, and also visited his sister at her school.
Standing once more beside a bustling street, Cheney slowly closed his eyes.
The world began to fracture!
Just like a smooth mirror smashed by a large stone.
In a fleeting moment, the whole world turned into a phantom.
In reality, shattering this illusion was simple — one must completely sever their attachment to this world from within.
Seems easy?
Not quite, because one can never lie to oneself.
If even a hint of lien towards this world remains, one would remain trapped here forever.
“I’m already a dead man.”
The next moment, the scene before him drastically changed.
The bustling street disappeared, and what came into Cheney’s sight was Mason’s surprised face.
“Congratulations, you have passed the trial.” Mason’s face returned to normal as he spoke softly.
Quite the miscalculation.
Unexpectedly, a sixty-year-old young man was able to shatter the illusion created by Third-Ring Magic.
Although this was just a trial and many elements of Third-Ring Magic weren’t fully demonstrated, having completed this trial at such a young age as a Level 1 Wizard was a feat Mason had only seen in Cheney over the past hundred years.
“With the completion of this trial, you are now an Official Member of the Ouroboros Ring. In a few days, someone will escort you to the real Ouroboros
Ring. ”
Mason spoke softly. As a wizard completed the trial and joined the Ouroboros Ring, he also received some rewards.
“Thank yon
“No need, it’s what you deserve.”
Time flies, and before they knew it, several days have passed.
When a man in a purple robe appeared before Cheney, he knew he had made it!
He had truly joined the Ouroboros Ring in this True Body Simulation.
A cross-realm Wizard Organization with a Level 5 Grand Wizard.
“White Raven?”
The man in the purple robe looked at Cheney, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
It seemed as if he had seen something interesting.
However, Cheney was not privy to see the surprise in his eyes.
The way he appeared in front of Cheney was always indifferent.
As a Level 3 Wizard, you would only see what he let you see.
The next moment, he placed his hand on Cheney’s shoulder, while a token-like item appeared in his other hand.
In an instant, the man in the purple robe and Cheney disappeared from the spot.
When they next appeared, they were in the middle of Nothingness.
“Close your eyes, lock your Spiritual Sea. You can’t watch this place.”
A faint voice echoed in Cheney’s mind, and he quickly complied.
The next moment, he felt his body floating weightlessly through the void, no longer under his control.
“Unlock your Spiritual Sea.”
Upon hearing these words, Cheney opened his eyes and unlocked the Spiritual Sea.
Before him was a world of purple, with purple airflows hovering around like little snakes spreading through the air..
