Chapter 400 Transactions and Information
Inside the core control room of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, Jemin was suspended in mid-air.
Thousands of runic light bands flowed around him, each band connecting to a huge three-dimensional magic array model below—a partial optimization of a certain spell.
With his left hand, a pale golden liquid condensed from the power of incense slowly deformed, while his right hand swiftly swept across the void, leaving behind a series of complex wizard runes.
Just then, a deep purple crystal embedded in the wall in the corner of the control room trembled slightly.
That was Viola's exclusive communication rune; only a very few people recognized by Jemin could directly send a teleportation request to the Infernal Sulfur Plane.
Jemin raised an eyebrow, scanned the crystal with his divine sense, and only after confirming that it was indeed his senior's aura did he slowly descend to the ground.
He snapped his fingers, and his research robe was instantly replaced by a simple black wizard's robe, with fine silver runes faintly visible at the hem.
"Agreed to send".
As soon as the words were spoken, the space to the side of the control room began to distort, and a stable teleportation portal quickly took shape.
Jemin stepped in, and the next instant, he appeared in the reception room on the other side of the plane.
The layout here is quite different from the traditional style of the wizarding world: the walls are made of warm jade, the floor is covered with a fire velvet carpet that can automatically regulate the temperature, and a set of tables and chairs carved from obsidian and lava crystal floats in the center of the room—all of which are native to the Infernal Sulfur Plane.
The teleportation light faded, revealing Viola's figure.
Jemin paused for a moment.
The senior student, who was always elegant and composed in my memory, with her long silver-gray hair like a waterfall of moonlight, now looked somewhat—disheveled.
Her deep purple wizard robes were covered in dust, with a few charred marks on the edges. A few strands of her smooth, long hair stood up, and there was even a faint gray mark on her face.
More importantly, her aura was clearly unstable, and the law fluctuations that a level six wizard should have were somewhat disordered.
As soon as Viola appeared, she collapsed onto the nearest obsidian chair like a zombie that had lost its support, letting out a long breath.
"Senior?" Jieming sat down opposite her, brewed two cups of spiritual tea, and said, "This is a blend of 'Melting Heart Flower' and 'Frost Moss,' special products of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane. It has a remarkable effect on stabilizing the mind."
Viola took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp before she could recover.
"I almost got caught in the aftermath of that madman's experiment—" she murmured, then looked at Jemin, "Your environment here is quite nice, much better than that godforsaken place, Starfall."
"The Starfall Wizard?" Jemin immediately grasped the key point. "You just came back from her?"
"Otherwise what?" Viola rubbed her temples. "That guy got the Imaginary Element from you and found his path to level seven. After completing the initial verification, he kicked me out as his temporary assistant, saying he needed to go into seclusion to build his core."
"So, senior, you came here this time for—" Jemin asked tentatively.
"Purchase." Viola sat up straight. Although she looked disheveled, her silver-gray eyes had regained their usual sharpness. "Buy in bulk. Starfall asked me to pass this on."
She flicked out a transparent, diamond-shaped crystal, which landed on the table.
As Jieming's divine sense swept over, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The crystal contained a string of military merit account information, and a number that surprised him greatly: 100.
One hundred million low-level military merits.
"This—" Jemin rarely showed an embarrassed expression. "Senior, I'm afraid I can't gather this many in a short time. I've been using the Imaginary Elements to modify the plane lately, and it's been quite taxing."
He pointed out the window, through which he could see the iconic dark red sky of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane and the slowly flowing lava river in the distance.
Even with the continuous transformation of incense offerings and the billions of black giants as believers producing incense power, and the generation of spiritual energy through the elemental spiritual energy conversion system—the total amount accumulated over so many years still cannot reach this level.
Moreover, Jemin also needs to maintain the plane's own operation and his own research needs.
Viola waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous.
"Of course Xingzhui knows. Her exact words were: 'Take as much as you can get first, and send another batch every now and then.' Anyway—" She paused, a subtle smile curving her lips, "According to her estimate, even if the path is found, it will still take several thousand years to truly advance to level seven. You have plenty of time to slowly produce more."
Jemin breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again.
A continuous supply for thousands of years?
This level of demand could not possibly be the consumption of ordinary experiments.
He quickly recalled the conversation between the two people in front of the Starfall Wizard before leaving, and a possibility surfaced in his mind.
"She wants so much—" Jemin began slowly, his tone tentative, "Could it be that she's planning to—"
Let's revitalize the entire plane of existence!
Viola's smile froze for a moment.
Although it was only a fraction of a second, Jemin keenly caught that slight unnaturalness.
"I can't hide it from you after all," Viola sighed, not denying it. "That's right, this is her challenge. Using the imaginary elements you provided as the core medium, combined with her own spiritual laws and the living plane data I provided, we're attempting to fully activate the 'Shattered Star Plane' she controls."
Jemin couldn't help but gasp.
He truly didn't expect that this Starfall Wizard would actually put his then-sounding idea into practice.
To give a plane that originally only had basic material circulation and energy flow a complete rudimentary form of self-consciousness is equivalent to artificially creating a living plane!
If successful, Starfall will not only be able to enter the seventh level, but may even be able to establish a high position within the seventh level.
It failed.
"What about safety measures?" Jemin asked in a deep voice. "If the fully activated experiment gets out of control, and the dimensional consciousness goes berserk..."
The collapse of laws triggering a chain reaction, an energy tidal backlash—even the mere loss of control over an activated plane can have extremely serious consequences.
Viola shrugged, completely losing her composure.
"This is what I'm going to do next." Her tone was eerily calm. "I plan to purchase three sets of dimensional destruction devices, order phase isolation barriers from the Void Architecture Institute, and buy a batch of law-stabilizing anchors from the Anti-Entropy Alliance—if the experiment fails, I must activate the destruction program in a short time to completely erase the Shattered Star Plane, along with any potentially mutated consciousness that might arise, from the realm of reality."
Jemin remained silent for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and sigh.
"That's really something—impressive."
Even for a level seven wizard, a plane that is completely under their control is an extremely valuable asset.
For a level six wizard, a plane is practically their entire fortune.
The fact that Xingzhui dared to use her core plane to conduct such a risky experiment truly makes her worthy of the name "Xingzhui".
"So, how many can be provided in the first batch?" Viola returned to the main topic.
Jemin closed his eyes and focused his mind, connecting his consciousness to the core of the plane manipulation array.
A panoramic view of the incense and divine network unfolded in his consciousness: the energy veins covering the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane, through the 360 "Elemental Aura Conversion Towers" scattered throughout the plane, the massive amount of elements provided by the level 7 large-scale element pools were being continuously converted into aura and stored in the natural aura deep in the earth's veins.
"Half of the existing stock can be allocated," Jemin said, opening his eyes. "But I need some time for high-purity compression and encapsulation—using a level-six small element pool as a container can minimize transportation losses."
"Okay." Viola nodded. "The container fee will be charged separately and deducted from your account."
Without any hesitation, Jemin directly accessed the magic array.
The entire Sulfur Plane of Purgatory trembled slightly.
Deep within the earth's veins, a massive amount of pale blue spiritual energy was extracted and gathered at the control tower at the core of the surface through the network of incense and divine practices.
Jemin manipulated the dimensional control array to gather this exaggerated power.
The spiritual energy condensed from a gaseous state to a liquid state at a speed visible to the naked eye, then compressed from the liquid state into a viscous gel, and finally transformed into thousands of fingernail-sized blue crystals.
This process lasted a full six hours.
When the last spiritual crystal fell into the prepared level-six small elemental pool, the entire surface of the pool was covered with a layer of cyan halo.
The runes, which had dimmed due to energy depletion, lit up again, even more brightly than in their prime.
"Here you go." Jemin pushed the sealed small elemental pool to Viola. "It's roughly equivalent to the total energy of five hundred standard small level-five elemental pools, all stored in crystal form. You need to release it using the decompression array I've provided before using it; otherwise, direct extraction will cause an energy rampage."
Viola took the elemental pool, felt the surging energy fluctuations within, and nodded in satisfaction.
She flicked out a silver rune crystal: "After delivery, teleport directly to this coordinate. Starfall has set up an automatic receiving array; as long as the energy signature matches, the goods will be sent directly to the storage vault of the Shattered Star Plane."
The transaction was complete, and Viola got up to leave.
But just as the teleportation light illuminated, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Jemin.
"By the way, your mandatory rest period—it should be nearing its end, right?"
Jemin paused for a moment, then nodded: "About three more years."
"Any news about the next support dimension?"
"Uh—" Jemin rarely showed an embarrassed expression. "I've been immersed in the iteration of my own witchcraft and knowledge for decades, and I haven't checked the mission notification sent by the military yet."
Viola shook her head, a "I knew it" expression on her delicate face.
"You really should come out of the lab for some fresh air sometimes," she said helplessly. "Go take a look and prepare in advance. This should be your last short, forced rest period. Once you advance to level five wizard, your rest period will be forcibly extended."
As soon as she finished speaking, the teleportation light engulfed her figure.
The meeting room returned to silence.
Jieming stood still, pondered for a moment, and then raised his hand to summon the Magic Network Terminal.
A semi-transparent screen unfolded in the air, with the bright red "Unread Messages: 127" in the upper right corner being particularly glaring.
Most of them are automatic notifications from the military system, revenue reports for technology patents, and some cooperation invitations.
He directly selected the "Military Orders" category.
Three messages marked with an emergency symbol popped up.
The first one was issued two hundred years ago, informing him that the rest period was more than halfway over and he could apply for battle in advance.
It was completely useless to him.
The second question was asked fifty years ago if he was interested in participating in a certain "high-risk dimensional exploration project" (which has expired).
