I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world

Chapter 726 Emerging from Seclusion and Emerging from Seclusion

Jemin snapped out of his immersion in knowledge, the pale golden runes slowly fading from the depths of his pupils, like a layer of morning mist just receding. Confirming that he had fully learned and understood the current knowledge, he blinked and subconsciously raised his hand to press his stiff neck. Just as he was about to close the light screen, the automatic door to the laboratory suddenly slid open silently.

Viola strolled in slowly through the door, her hands behind her back.

Today, instead of her usual dark blue robe, she wore a looser, more homey-style robe. Her long, silver-gray hair was casually tied back, making her appear less imposing and more relaxed and carefree.

As she walked to the door, her gaze casually swept inside, meeting Jemin's upward gaze.

She paused, raised an eyebrow, and a mixture of surprise and amusement appeared on her face.

"Oh?" she drawled. "You're alive?"

...?

Jemin remained silent for two seconds, looking at her expressionlessly.

"What do you mean I'm alive?"

"What do you think?" Viola leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, her tone light and airy. "After you came back from Broadleaf, you ignored everything and plunged headfirst into the sea of ​​knowledge. You wouldn't answer when I called you, you wouldn't move when I called you, and you didn't even react when that activated test tube jumped on your work."

She tilted her head, the mockery in her eyes deepening: "Everyone's saying you're dead."

Jemin immediately saw through her fabrication: "You're the only one spreading the rumor that I'm dead, aren't you?!"

"Oh dear, you caught me." Viola showed no embarrassment at being exposed. "But you can't blame me, you know, think about how much time has passed."

Jemin blinked, then subconsciously checked his biological clock.

The next moment, he paused almost imperceptibly.

According to his biological clock... more than a decade has actually passed?!

After returning from the Broadleaf Wizard, he opened the knowledge module of the Reflection Dimension and began immersive learning.

In his subjective perception, it was only a few days, but in reality, more than a decade had passed.

"What...what the hell is going on?!" For a moment, Jemin was even a little shocked.

He had been engrossed in learning before, but he would never have lost all awareness of the outside world like this. To put it bluntly, even someone who is constantly thinking about learning shouldn't be completely unaware of what's happening around them.

So... something's definitely wrong with him right now!

Fortunately, Viola quickly explained to him: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. This is a situation unique to learning about reflection dimensions."

Jemin looked over in confusion.

Viola waved her hand: "Dean Avery told me before he left that because of the special nature of the Reflection Dimension, when learning about it, people unconsciously ignore the reactions of the main world. However, this is not a big problem for wizards."

"The Broadleaf Wizard probably didn't expect that you hadn't learned anything about the Reflection Dimension, so he gave you too much related knowledge all at once. Next time you encounter knowledge about the Reflection Dimension, just be prepared in advance."

"Okay... I see... So you've been helping me all these years, thanks." Jemin immediately understood why Viola had stayed here all this time.

"Hmph! That's right, that's right!" Viola raised her head triumphantly.

Jemin raised his hand to rub his temples, finally stood up, and stretched his shoulders, which had become stiff from sitting for more than a decade.

As he walked out, he opened the Magic Network terminal and quickly browsed through the unread messages that had accumulated over the past ten years. Fortunately, there wasn't much important information.

The first message was left by Dean Avery Knight.

The dean has already left with those level seven wizards.

After completing their fourth deep search of the Tentacle Tree plane and confirming that no creatures from the Reflection Dimension had been missed, they returned to Academy Noren 147 with the sealed samples they had been assigned.

Dean Avery's message was brief, essentially saying: This collaboration was very pleasant, and he could contact me directly if there were similar tasks in the future. Additionally, if possible, we could exchange our research findings on reflection dimensions in the future.

Jemin glanced at it, feeling nothing in particular, and simply jotted it down.

The second item is the fusion progress between the Purgatory Sulfur Plane and the Tentacle Tree Plane.

Over the past decade or so, the project has progressed quite steadily.

However, problems also emerged.

The Purgatory Sulfur Plane is far too small compared to the Tentacle Tree Plane.

The Tentacle Tree Plane is a super-large cosmic plane with 50 billion stars; while the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, although it has merged with ten smaller planes and successfully advanced to a medium-sized plane, is still essentially a continental plane.

Currently, although the spatial structures of the two planes have been connected through a fusion array, their material aspects have not yet been fully integrated. The current state is somewhat like a huge floating continent being forcibly embedded in a star sector of the Tentacle Tree plane, surrounded by vast and boundless interstellar space.

The dimensional fusion array is currently operating normally, and the two law systems are slowly permeating each other. The state is very stable, and it is expected that the first round of fusion will be completed in about a hundred years.

As for whether to continue pushing for full integration or maintain this semi-integrated state, that depends on his choice.

The third point concerns the resettlement of the Dragon People.

The Black Giant Priests have already designated an entire area in the southeastern part of the Infernal Sulfur Plane and modified the environment according to the standards of the Dragonkin Plane. The Dragonkin have adapted much faster than expected.

These dragon people were just ordinary civilians who had lived under the rule of the Broadleaf Wizard for hundreds of years. For them, it was simply a matter of moving to a different place to continue their lives.

Several young dragonmen with high bloodline concentration even took the initiative to participate in the Black Giant Legion's recruitment test.

It's clear they're adapting quite well.

The fourth item concerns the development of the Tentacle Tree civilization.

Over the past decade or so, those new generation of Tentacle Trees have completed their basic education in the public education system built by the administrative network. Many of them, after layers of selection, have joined the research team of the Black Giant Priests, responsible for assisting in the reverse analysis of the God's Armament.

Although their combat prowess is inferior to that of the Black Giants, their talent in theoretical research and data analysis is indeed remarkable.

More importantly, this meant an additional source of researchers, further elevating the overall strength of Jemin's team. Viola only spoke slowly after he had finished reviewing the information.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I received news a few days ago that Mentor Clark has finished his seclusion."

Jemin paused in his scrolling through the terminal, and his eyes lit up.

He shut down the magic network terminal and turned to look at Viola.

"Let's go visit our mentor."

He said.
