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

Chapter 543 Adjustment and the First Transformation Target

The sky over the Sulfur Plane of Purgatory remained crimson as always.

Jemin hovered ten thousand meters in the air, looking down at the land below that he had personally transformed countless times.

Around him, dozens of black giant priests also hovered in the air, each with a huge runic array floating in front of them, emitting various colors of light.

"The energy node in the western region will be reduced by another 0.3%."

Jemin's voice resonated throughout the entire area through his mental power.

A black giant priest immediately adjusted the light array in front of him, tapping his fingers in the void, causing the complex rune sequence to change accordingly.

A moment later, a faint light flashed somewhere on the ground below, a signal that the energy node had completed its adjustment.

"The output waveform of array number seven in the North Zone is off; correct it to the standard value."

Another priest began the operation.

This is their fiftieth consecutive day of work.

The entire system of the incense-burning ritual, including its subsystems and even the main system, including the inter-space energy transmission system, needs a comprehensive optimization. All the minor issues left over from the design hundreds of years ago must now be resolved one by one.

Jemin was in charge of overall command, while the black giant priests controlled the massive magic arrays that spanned the entire plane, fine-tuning every detail. From tens of thousands of meters above, the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane looked like a giant circuit board.

Countless energy nodes shimmered with a faint light, and intricate patterns outlined mysterious designs on the earth.

These people are performing a precise calibration on this circuit board.

"The feedback from the Southeast District is delayed; there are still problems," a priest reported.

Jemin frowned slightly, and with a swift movement, he instantly appeared in the sky above the southeast district.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before saying, "Reset the phase synchronization protocols of the seventh, eighth, and ninth nodes and rematch the fluctuation frequency of the main array."

Another round of adjustments has begun.

Time slips away quietly while you're focused on your work.

When the data at the last node finally reached the ideal value, Jemin opened his eyes and let out a soft breath.

"All in place. Initiate test."

At his command, all the priests simultaneously activated the runic light arrays in front of them.

The next moment, the energy network of the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane lit up.

The view from above is so spectacular it's indescribable.

Countless streaks of light flowed across the land, like blood coursing through veins, eventually converging on the massive energy tower at the center of the plane. The tower's tip shone brightly, and a nearly solidified pillar of energy shot skyward, piercing the depths of the void.

That's a sign that the inter-space transmission channel has been opened.

Jemin stared at the light, his mental energy closely following the flow of energy, sensing every loss and fluctuation during the transmission process. The test lasted a full three minutes.

As the light faded, he looked down at the recording crystal in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Transmission efficiency improved by 12 percent.

Energy stability improved by 15%.

Response speed improved by nine percent.

"Good." Jemin nodded. "Let's call it a day."

Back in the core laboratory, Jemin's mind was still filled with the insights he had gained during the adjustments.

He entered the meditation room, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and focused his inner vision on his spiritual sea.

Deep within his spiritual sea, the Ring of Truth floated silently, slowly rotating; it was the core of his being a level five wizard.

Beside the Ring of Truth, a golden line encircles it, like a satellite orbiting a planet.

That is the manifestation of the laws of spiritual energy.

Jemin stared intently, his gaze sharpening slightly.

The gold thread was thicker than before.

He carefully sensed it and found that his control over the spiritual energy laws had increased from 20% to nearly 30%.

"This is a pleasant surprise."

Jemin opened his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Thinking about it carefully, this isn't surprising.

The adjustment of the incense and deity system was essentially equivalent to him reviewing the relevant knowledge again. In this process, his understanding of the laws of spiritual energy naturally deepened.

It's like reviewing the original knowledge again, and you also gain new insights along the way.

He looked at the Ring of Truth in his spiritual sea, silently calculating his gains and the percentage increase in his mastery of the laws of spiritual energy.

Jemin shook his head with a sigh: "The growth rate is declining very quickly."

To advance from level 5 to level 6, a wizard needs to increase their mastery of the laws from 10% to 100%.

He's only close to 30% now; there's still two-thirds of the way to go.

And this is just the basic threshold.

After reaching 100%, you also need to understand the solidification of the rules in order to truly enter Level 6.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult...

Jemin couldn't help but sigh.

The degree of mastery of the rules may seem to increase continuously, but in reality, it becomes increasingly difficult as you progress.

The more profound the knowledge being studied, the greater the difficulty of learning it, and the more extensive the knowledge required.

In terms of difficulty alone, the level from level five to level six is ​​even more difficult than the total effort required for a wizard apprentice to advance all the way to level five.

"Take your time."

Putting aside his reflections, Jieming finished his daily training routine.

After finishing his cultivation and confirming that everything was normal, he got up and left the cultivation room, heading towards the biological laboratory on the other side.

The door to the biological laboratory opened automatically, and a smell mixed with nutrient solution and preservatives wafted out.

The laboratory was bustling with activity.

Dozens of black giant priests were busy at their respective worktables; some were dissecting biological tissues, some were recording data, and some were adjusting various instruments.

The walls were covered with huge screens displaying a massive amount of analysis results.

On the right side of the laboratory, there is a row of transparent culture chambers that are over ten meters high and several meters wide.

The culture chamber was filled with a pale green nutrient solution. Suspended in the nutrient solution were organisms of various shapes and sizes—if those things could still be called "living things."

Jemin walked over and stood in front of the incubation chamber to observe.

These creatures look like enormous worms.

Some have sickle-shaped forelimbs, some are covered with thick carapaces, and some have multiple pairs of compound eyes.

They float in the nutrient solution, with fine probes inserted all over their bodies, connected to the data interface on the outer wall of the culture chamber.

"Owner."

A black giant priest came forward.

It was shorter than the other priests, but its eyes shone with a brighter light of wisdom.

Jemin remembered it as "The Strategist," the one with the strongest thinking ability among the priests.

"Report on the progress," Jemin said.

The strategist handed over a recording crystal: "We've re-analyzed all the variants of the Scythe-Skull Clan from the Cycle of Reincarnation. Combining this with the research data you left behind, we've basically compiled all the necessary underlying data."

Jemin took the crystal and probed it with his mental energy.

The crystal stores a vast amount of anatomical data, gene sequences, and energy response test results.

Every variant of the Sickle-Skull Clan—engineer, warrior, leader, and mother nest—has a detailed record.

He gained a lot from the Cycle of Reincarnation back then, bringing back almost all the research data on the Scythe-Skull Clan.

Now, after being re-analyzed by the Black Giant priests, the data is more detailed and the organization is clearer.

Jemin nodded as he browsed through the document.

He planned to modify the "nest" first.

The nest was a biological warship unit he designed in his early years, but it hasn't been of much use over the years.

The shuttlemen at least contributed some effort, but the nest was completely invisible.

As biological warships, the Scythe-Skull race, a species naturally cultivated as biological weapons, is the most suitable simulation sample. The Scythe-Skull's nest unit is itself a type of biological warship.

They can produce soldiers and store resources, making the design of their lair the most suitable option.

As Jemin was thinking, he suddenly sighed.

Pity.

If only that bacterial host from back then could have been used for research.

The bacterial host in the triangular plane is the most ideal simulation sample.

That thing's adaptability, evolutionary ability, and resource conversion efficiency far surpass those of the Scythe-Skull Clan.

Unfortunately, that thing was too dangerous, and in the end it was completely wiped out, leaving not even a complete sample.

Jemin shook his head, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

Without a master, the Scythe-Skull Clan is somewhat lacking, but still sufficient.

He took the recording crystal and walked towards his worktable.
