Chapter 356: 207 “Four Rules” and “Consciousness Warning” (Seeking Subscriptions) _2
And after becoming a Level 5 Wizard, he may well jump onto the higher echelons of Guardian Sea’s authority.
By then, even if something happens in the Wizard Realm, it probably won’t involve him.
Sometimes, powerful strength is the best talisman.
A moment later, Milton Cheney stopped musing, his figure disappearing into the Mysterious Dark Forest.
Time slowly passing, in the blink of an eye, another three hundred years had passed.
Three hundred years, to the whole Soul Realm, perhaps it wasn’t even considered the passage of time.
But for Milton Cheney, three hundred years was no short period.
At this time, Milton Cheney had been away from the Soul Academy for more than twelve hundred years.
This was a genuine twelve hundred years; he hadn’t returned to the academy at all in that time.
He hadn’t come back; his mentor hadn’t come looking for him either. It seemed as if they had just let him be.
The system in the Soul Academy really did behave like this.
Students of the Soul Academy, once they became Level 4 Spiritualists, can have the maximum amount of freedom.
Even if they never returned to the Soul Academy for their entire life, it wouldn’t matter.
This was very different from the Guardian Sea.
In the Guardian Sea, with a higher realm, the restrictions became more and more clear.
At least it was so from the stage of a Level 1 to Level 4 Wizard.
As for how it was for Level 5 Wizards, Milton Cheney was not sure.
Because he wasn’t a Level 5 Wizard.
Inside the Soul Academy.
Milton Cheney’s figure suddenly appeared on top of a high platform within the academy.
This high platform was the first place he stayed after joining the Soul Academy, and also where his mentor spoke with him about talent.
Milton Cheney looked around the environment of the Soul Academy with his own eyes.
Without a doubt, though twelve hundred years had passed, there was not a bit of change in the Soul Academy.
There were neither more nor less buildings inside the academy, and it held no difference from when Milton Cheney had left.
Maybe there were indeed some changes, but Milton Cheney couldn’t see them.
Suddenly, Milton Cheney’s shoulder twitched slightly and he turned his head to look behind him.
“Mentor.”
Milton Cheney said.
The one who had suddenly appeared behind him was his mentor, Dole.
Milton Cheney knew that Dole would come to see him. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for more than a thousand years.
But Cheney didn’t think it would be so soon.
After all, he had only been back to the academy for a moment.
However, a thousand years wasn’t really a long time for Dole.
“You’re back. Good, your Heart Technique cultivation hasn’t slacked off.”
Dole’s eyes glowing white, he measured up Milton Cheney and said with a light smile.
After saying that, without waiting for Milton Cheney to respond, Dole continued,
“Over the years you’ve read quite a few rule-related books, so you should have some understanding of the rules.”
“Since you haven’t integrated into the rules on your own, you can try to merge with the rule that Carl prepared for you.”
However, to Dole’s surprise, Milton Cheney shook his head and refused after hearing his words.
“Mentor, I may not be able to integrate into the rules.”
“Perhaps it’s due to the influence of consciousness. I’ve tried to integrate into a rule before, but I have a sense of impending disaster.”
Milton Cheney explained.
He knew that some things cannot be avoided, so Milton Cheney chose to tell the truth.
Sometimes, telling the truth is better than lying.
Upon hearing this, Dole’s eyebrows creased slightly.
It seemed he had not expected Milton Cheney to say such a thing.
However, Dole didn’t doubt the truth of his words.
After all, nobody would ignore the rules and not integrate. Those were the keys to reaching higher realms after all.
Dole didn’t respond to Milton Cheney’s words but instead became lost in thought.
It seemed he was considering why such a thing had occurred.
“What does it feel like? Can you describe it more specifically?”
Dole asked after contemplating for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney didn’t hide anything and described his feelings when he was preparing to integrate the rules in detail.
“A warning from consciousness?”
Dole muttered to himself.
This was the first time he had heard of a warning from consciousness appearing when integrating into the rules.
He had encountered many of the situations on Cheney for the first time.
The problem was, Cheney was just an ordinary person, not an incarnation of World Consciousness.
His friend Carl just verified this point, so Dole didn’t doubt Cheney’s identity.
“I have never encountered such a situation before.”
“The fusion of rules is beneficial to the body, how could a warning appear in the consciousness?”
There was a hint of doubt in Dole’s tone.
Milton could only helplessly shake his head as well.
Not to mention Dole, even he wasn’t sure why it would turn out this way.
His only suspicion was that the reincarnation simulation was to blame. It could be possible that after the fusion of rules within the simulation, it might conflict with his body in reality.
This was Milton’s only guess.
After all, apart from being a reincarnated individual, there was nothing special about him.
The Soul Realm was real, the rules were real too.
So, the problem must lie with his own body.
“Under these circumstances, the only option is to have Carl examine you.”
“If you can’t integrate the rules, you won’t be able to become a Level 5 Spiritualist. This would undoubtedly be a waste of your talent.”
Dole said.
Milton nodded in agreement, not refusing.
After all, it is beneficial to him as well.
If he could indeed integrate the rules and become a Level 5 Spiritualist in this simulation, Milton would naturally not refuse.
However, Milton knew the chances were slim.
The more similar the realms in the simulation and reality, the harder it is to continue practicing.
Milton had experienced this first-hand.
The fundamental reason being that even if everything is real, he is merely a reincarnated consciousness in reality, and not an entire reincarnated consciousness.
Seeing Milton’s nod of agreement, Dole mobilizes his spiritual power and takes Milton away from the high platform.
“Unable to integrate the rules?”
Carl looked at Milton and asked.
Milton nodded in agreement.
Without uttering another word, Carl swirled his hands, and a light purple round bead appeared.
The moment Milton saw the bead, something crossed his mind.
After a millennium has passed, and having collected four rules, Milton was by no means unfamiliar with them.
Therefore, the moment the bead appeared in Carl’s hand, Milton recognized it for what it was.
It was an unowned rule that was sealed away.
But as to the specific rule, since it was sealed away and had not leaked any aura, Milton couldn’t determine what it was.
“Try to fuse this rule in front of me.”
“You can merge it with ease. If there is any problem, I will interrupt it immediately. This Purple Moon Rule was prepared by me especially for you.”
Carl said.
While speaking, he threw the bead in his hand towards Milton.
The bead was floating in front of Milton.
Milton nodded.
The next moment, he activated all his spiritual power in his body and then injected it into the bead floating in front of him.
This was the first step in blending into the rules: imprinting his spiritual power into them.
The moment Milton’s spiritual power touched the bead, it exploded into dust.
A purple moon phantom appeared out of nowhere, hovering in front of Milton.
“Here it comes!”
Milton felt a surge in his heart.
A strong danger warning suddenly appeared deep in his consciousness.
Milton instinctively wanted to cancel the integration of the rule.
“Keep going.”
A voice entered Milton’s ear.
The next moment, a warm white light enveloped his body.
Milton stabilized himself and continued to instill his spiritual power into the purple moon phantom in front of him.
Time slowly passed, and after a while, another strong danger warning emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
Without waiting for Carl to speak up, Milton’s body instinctively halted the fusion of the rule.
This was his body’s instinct to protect itself, much like how it’s impossible for one to strangle themselves with a rope.
Milton was feeling this way at the moment.
“As expected, your consciousness can’t withstand the intensity of the rules.”
“If you forcibly try to fuse them, your consciousness will shatter.”
A frown appeared on Carl’s face as he said this.
Such a situation was not only a first for Dole, but also for Carl.
