Chapter 537: 295 “Immortal Wizard Skill” and “The Impossible” (Please Subscribe)_2
He didn’t care about time, and naturally, he didn’t care about the so-called lifespan either.
After all, what difference did it make if other wizards lived longer? He had the Simulator, and perhaps a hundred years of his lifespan were equivalent to tens of millions of years for other wizards.
Indeed, the Simulator had subtly influenced him over time.
Since these influences didn’t affect his memory, Milton didn’t normally take them seriously.
It wasn’t until Potosí pointed it out that Milton began to realize it.
“I’ve been through too many simulations, and they’ve instinctively led me to somewhat disregard the passage of time,” he mused.
Milton felt a sense of solemnity in his heart at that moment.
If he had not noticed these influences, perhaps they would have grown incrementally over time.
Until he completely disregarded time and even considered everything within the simulations as real time.
Fortunately, he had noticed this now.
“Tens of millions of years.”
Milton sorted through the thoughts in his mind and spoke softly.
There was a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Hearing this, Potosí nodded, then shook his head.
“You’re speaking too generally, but it’s not necessarily incorrect,” he said.
“A Level 6 Wizard currently has a lifespan of tens of millions of years.”
Currently?
Milton was startled by the implications of this statement.
Could it be that the lifespan limit of a Level 6 Wizard could still change?
Although Milton felt a surge of astonishment, his face showed no sign of it.
“Theoretically, the lifespan of a Level 6 Wizard is infinite, meaning there is no upper limit to their lifespan,” came the explanation.
“The reason we say they currently live for tens of millions of years is that the Wizard Realm itself has only existed for that long.”
This was what Potosí revealed.
His tone may have been flat, yet what he said sent shock waves through Milton.
An idea involuntarily sprang to Milton’s mind,
that this Level 6 Wizard before him was deceiving him.
After all, the notion of infinite lifespan was nearly impossible.
Consider for a moment, not just among the Level 6 Wizards of the Wizard Realm, even Transcendents couldn’t achieve an infinite lifespan.
Immortal Wizard Skill, is this immortality?
Milton instinctively dismissed the possibility of Level 6 Wizards having infinite lifespans.
Even though he knew a Level 6 Wizard could indeed live for tens of millions of years, he did not believe that they could truly attain immortality.
Whether one lives for tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions of years,
it’s entirely a different concept from immortality.
If Milton without a Simulator might have believed what Potosí had just said,
yet having undergone countless Reincarnation Simulations,
at least dozens of times,
he was well aware of how difficult it was to achieve immortality.
Because no matter which world he reincarnated into, there was always a limit to lifespan.
But now Potosí was telling him that Level 6 Wizards had no such limit, which seemed preposterous.
“Impossible.”
That’s what Milton thought, and what he said.
This was the first time he had directly contradicted the Level 6 Wizard before him since he arrived.
Yet, after he had spoken, Potosí showed no sign of surprise,
as if such a reaction from Milton was to be expected.
Any normal Level 5 Wizard hearing this would also not believe it.
It was simply too outrageous.
A Level 5 Wizard could only live for tens of thousands of years, and yet Level 6 Wizards had an unlimited lifespan?
No ordinary wizard would believe this.
Because it completely contradicted the advancement of realms in the Wizard Realm.
The elevation of realms in the Wizard Realm followed a pattern; it was certainly not possible to reach the heavens in one step.
It was like an ant evolving into an elephant overnight, completely illogical.
Potosí didn’t immediately explain, and after speaking, Milton fell into contemplation.
He wondered, what if it were true?
If indeed it was so, there must be something peculiar about it.
“Immortal Wizard Skill?”
A thought flashed through Milton’s mind.
Almost subconsciously, he thought of the third requirement of becoming a wizard that Potosí had just mentioned, which was to construct an Immortal Wizard Skill within the Spiritual Sea.
“You should have thought of it by now, the reason why Level 6 Wizards can reach an unlimited lifespan in theory is actually because of the Immortal Wizard Skill,”
Potosí said.
After his words fell, Milton Cheney’s furrowed brows showed no sign of easing.
“Doesn’t that mean that as long as one constructs the Immortal Wizard Skill, one can have an unlimited lifespan, regardless of whether they can become a Level 6 Wizard or not?”
Milton Cheney asked.
Actually, at this point, he still didn’t believe that Level 6 Wizards could have unlimited lifespans.
The more he understood, the more he knew that immortality wasn’t so simple.
“In theory, that’s correct, but as long as you are able to construct the Immortal Wizard Skill, you are already a Level 6 Wizard, so what you’re saying doesn’t exist,”
Potosí answered.
“Are you saying that only after honing one’s Spiritual Power to the limit of a Level 5 Wizard and perceiving the rules to the limit of a Level 5 Wizard can one begin to construct the Immortal Wizard Skill?”
Milton Cheney said.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Potosí’s eyes.
“That’s right,”
Potosí responded.
“But that doesn’t make sense either. If that were the case, what about wizards who integrate the limiting rules and manage to construct the Immortal Wizard Skill?”
“Although the rules have limitations and cannot reach Level 6, reaching the limit of a Level 5 Wizard should be possible, right?”
Milton Cheney asked.
This was indeed one of his doubts.
Potosí seemed to have not anticipated Milton Cheney’s question. He stroked his chin and said:
“Actually, you don’t need to ask so many questions, because it no longer matters.”
“Why?”
Milton Cheney continued to ask.
His tone was tinged with uncertainty, seemingly not expecting Potosí to answer his question this way.
“The reason is very simple; in the Wizard Realm, there are no longer any methods left to construct the Immortal Wizard Skill,”
Potosí said in a tone as though he was mentioning something trivial.
Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney was taken aback, and it wasn’t an act this time.
He was genuinely stunned for a moment.
But Milton Cheney was only stunned momentarily; the next second, he readjusted his emotions.
Even a fool could understand what Potosí’s words implied; naturally, Milton Cheney could as well.
Didn’t this statement just mean that the path to becoming a Level 6 Wizard in the Wizard Realm had been severed?
“Why is that, aren’t there many Level 6 Wizards in the Wizard Realm?”
“Does that mean all Level 6 Wizards in the Wizard Realm need to inscribe the Immortal Wizard Skill?”
Milton Cheney asked softly.
By now, he had completely calmed down, and his previously furrowed brow had also relaxed.
“The Level 6 Wizards in the Wizard Realm today are all, without exception, beings who became Level 6 Wizards millions of years ago.”
“That is to say, at this point, the highest one can reach in the Wizard Realm is just the limit of a Level 5 Wizard,”
Potosí said.
He only explained this much, nothing more.
But Milton Cheney still discerned something from Potosí’s words.
That is, perhaps in the Wizard Realm, no matter what wizardry path one takes, inscribing the Immortal Wizard Skill is essential for becoming a Level 6 Wizard.
“What about Bloodline Wizards then?”
“Bloodline Wizards don’t need to, but their lifespans are also less than a million years,”
Potosí said.
So that’s really the case?
A thought stirred in Milton Cheney’s mind.
If he wasn’t certain before, now he was highly likely to confirm one thing.
That was, there must be something wrong with this Path of Cultivation in the Wizard Realm.
Perhaps the lifespan of a Bloodline Wizard is the true limit that a normal wizard can reach.
This Immortal Wizard Skill, there must be something fishy about it.
In that instant, numerous thoughts had flashed through Milton Cheney’s mind.
Of course, whether this was indeed the case or not, Milton Cheney couldn’t be sure.
After all, those fleeting thoughts in his mind were just his conjecture.
To verify it would still be very difficult, even impossible.
Perhaps, Level 6 Wizards really could achieve immortality?
