Chapter 314: Boundary-Breaking Stone, The Truth Parliament

December 22, 2024

Sacred Grove Plane, Tower of Wisdom.

In a spacious and bright hall, a man and a woman sat facing each other.

A water nymph with a slender and graceful figure brought two cups of tea and placed them on the table in front of them, then gracefully left.

The pale pink tea emitted wisps of white mist, exuding a refreshing aroma.

"This is red tea brewed with Soulflowers. It helps stabilize True Spirits and tastes good. Try it."

Mai Ya pointed to the tea in front of her and said with a smile.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Su Nan picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"It does taste good."

Mai Ya smiled lightly, "I cultivated these myself. Later, you can take some back with you."

For True Spirit Sorcerers, magic plants that have an effect on them are undoubtedly valuable, but Su Nan didn't hesitate and readily accepted the offer.

At their level, even the most precious magic plants were no longer considered extraordinary.

For True Spirit Sorcerers, only items related to the Law were truly considered precious.

Mai Ya took a sip of her tea and glanced at the calm Su Nan, feeling a slight sense of wonder.

Although she knew that Su Nan would eventually advance to become a True Spirit Sorcerer, the speed at which this day had arrived far exceeded her expectations.

She considered herself a genius, and among the group of True Spirit descendants, her talent was among the very top.

She couldn't help but feel proud of this.

But compared to Su Nan, she suddenly felt inferior.

"Advancing to a True Spirit Sorcerer in less than three thousand years, and not even a True Spirit descendant. This talent is beyond the description of a monster."

Mai Ya's heart was filled with admiration, but her expression remained calm, and she looked at Su Nan with a smile in her eyes.

"This time, you've surprised many people, and now the entire Sorcerer Realm is discussing your advancement."

Su Nan's reputation in the Sorcerer Realm was not small, but it was limited to the middle and lower levels. True Spirit Sorcerers might have heard of his achievements but didn't pay much attention.

However, now that he had advanced to a True Spirit Sorcerer, it was completely different.

Even in the vast multiverse with countless life forms, True Spirit Sorcerers were undoubtedly among the top-tier powerhouses.

The advancement of any True Spirit Sorcerer in the multiverse was a highly anticipated event, attracting the attention of numerous powerful beings.

Even deities would pay attention to this.

Not to mention the True Spirit Sorcerers of the major Sorcerer factions.

Now, Su Nan's name had truly become famous throughout the multiverse.

Countless people, both openly and secretly, were paying attention to him and the Star Alliance.

Su Nan shook his head with a smile and said, "I've been busy consolidating my realm during this time and haven't had time to follow these matters."

"I understand," Mai Ya nodded lightly.

Su Nan's rapid advancement to a True Spirit Sorcerer was not only due to his exceptional talent but also to the tremendous efforts he had put in behind the scenes.

In fact, every person who could advance to a True Spirit Sorcerer was a cultivation maniac.

Mai Ya knew that Su Nan hadn't come to her just to catch up, so after a brief chat, she got to the point.

"You came here for the Realm of Truth, didn't you?"

Su Nan's expression turned serious, and he nodded, "That's right."

"I want a Boundary-Breaking Stone."

Mai Ya's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Su Nan.

He didn't expect Su Nan to know about the Boundary-Breaking Stone.

The Realm of Truth was not easy to enter, and the reason for this was the Boundary-Breaking Stone, the key to entering the Realm of Truth, which only True Spirit Sorcerers holding the Boundary-Breaking Stone could enter and exit the Realm of Truth freely.

It was said that a True Spirit Sorcerer had accidentally obtained the Boundary-Breaking Stone and discovered the Realm of Truth.

However, in most cases, the Boundary-Breaking Stone could only be found in the Realm of Truth, and its quantity was very limited.

Deities and True Spirit Sorcerers often fought over the Boundary-Breaking Stone, as it represented a spot in the Realm of Truth.

The Boundary-Breaking Stone was not a secret among True Spirit Sorcerers, but very few middle and lower-level Sorcerers knew of its existence.

Mai Ya was curious about where Su Nan had obtained this information, but she didn't press further. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you know about the Boundary-Breaking Stone, you should also know how rare and difficult it is to obtain."

Su Nan nodded, indicating that he understood.

If the Boundary-Breaking Stone were easy to obtain, deities and True Spirit Sorcerers wouldn't have to fight over it so often.

"The production of Boundary-Breaking Stones is currently controlled by the major Wizard Factions."

"Although True Spirit Sorcerers from other Wizard Factions have obtained Boundary-Breaking Stones in the Realm of Truth, it is extremely rare, and it could take thousands of years to witness such an event."

"Therefore, newly promoted True Spirit Sorcerers from other Wizard Factions who wish to acquire a Boundary-Breaking Stone can only do so by purchasing it from the major Wizard Factions."

"To better manage the affairs of the Realm of Truth, including the Codex of Wisdom, all major Wizard Factions established a loose governing body called the Truth Parliament ten thousand years ago."

"According to the rules of the Truth Parliament, every second-rank Wizard Faction can obtain a Boundary-Breaking Stone from the Truth Parliament at a certain cost."

Su Nan listened intently.

In his previous life, he had heard some intelligence about the Realm of Truth, but it was fragmented, as he had not yet truly reached that level.

Now, as he combined Mai Ya's words with his memories, they were all being confirmed one by one.

In fact, the so-called Truth Parliament is an organization established by the major Wizard Factions to exclude weaker Wizard Factions and better monopolize the interests of the Realm of Truth.

In the entire Multiverse, if one had to choose an organization to represent the Wizard Realm, it would be the Truth Parliament.

In reality, the Truth Parliament could also be considered the vanguard of the Wizards' resistance against the Deities.

Before Su Nan unified the Northwest Region, there was also a Wizard organization called the Truth Parliament.

However, compared to this Truth Parliament, the former was like a drop in the vast ocean.

There is no comparison!

Although the Truth Parliament was established to monopolize the benefits of the Realm of Truth, if they completely blocked the path for True Spirit Sorcerers from other Wizard Factions to enter the Realm of Truth, it might not be a problem in the short term, but in the long run, these Wizard Factions would surely harbor resentment. They might eventually unite in rebellion, fighting to seize Boundary-Breaking Stones.

They may not be able to compete with the Truth Parliament, but they don't need to take on the entire Parliament. They only need to choose one major Wizard Faction as their breakthrough point.

Even ants can kill an elephant when they unite, and Wizard Factions are far more powerful than ants.

Moreover, the major Wizard Factions are not united, and they often hold significant grudges against each other.

If one major Wizard Faction is besieged, the others would be unlikely to intervene, let alone offer assistance.

No one wants to become that breakthrough point, so they can only give up a portion of their interests to appease the other Wizard Factions.

This led to the rule that Mai Ya mentioned.

"What is the cost?" Su Nan asked.

Mai Ya held up two fingers, "There are two conditions."

"The first is to join the Truth Parliament. When the Truth Parliament arranges a joint action, the member and their affiliated Wizard Faction must participate."

"As long as the task is not too excessive, the member and their Wizard Faction cannot refuse."

Su Nan's eyes flickered thoughtfully, nodding in agreement.

This condition is not overly harsh, and there is still considerable room for negotiation.

If the request is truly disadvantageous to the Star Alliance, he can refuse without hesitation.

The Truth Parliament doesn't expect to control a Wizard Faction solely through the Boundary-Breaking Stones.

"The second condition is the price of purchasing the Boundary-Breaking Stone."

Mai Ya paused and then held up one finger.

"One million lower-tier Magic Crystals."

Su Nan's eyebrows rose.

This price is not low.

Using Magic Cubes for synthesis, it would take approximately two hundred higher-tier Magic Stones to create one lower-tier Magic Crystal.

In other words, one million lower-tier Magic Crystals are equivalent to two hundred million higher-tier Magic Stones.

This estimation is based on the lower costs of using Magic Cubes for synthesis.

In a real transaction, one million lower-tier Magic Crystals would undoubtedly exceed the value of two hundred million higher-tier Magic Stones.

Even for a second-rank Wizard Faction, this is a significant expense.

However, Su Nan didn't hesitate and agreed without delay.

Although one million lower-tier Magic Crystals is a high price, obtaining the Boundary-Breaking Stone is of utmost importance to him.

Mai Ya wasn't surprised by Su Nan's agreement, as the allure of the Realm of Truth was too tempting for any True Spirit Sorcerer to refuse.

"There's one more thing. The Truth Parliament doesn't currently have any Boundary-Breaking Stones in stock. We'll have to wait for a new supply, which might take some time."

"I understand."

Su Nan had anticipated this.

He had already prepared to wait for decades or even centuries.

For now, his Divine Essence could still support his cultivation, and he didn't need to rush.

After finishing their business, Su Nan didn't linger and bid farewell to the Sacred Grove Plane.

Upon returning to the Starlight Wizard Tower, he dove straight into the laboratory.

Recently, apart from cultivation, Su Nan had also spent a considerable amount of time crafting Divine Body Golems.

He had already completed the first Divine Body Golem, and the second one was in its final stages.

Inside the laboratory.

The bright light of the Mana Stone lamp illuminated the spacious room, also casting a glow on the peculiar creature on the workbench.

If one only observed the silhouette, it was a Titan-like giant, and even the towering Vajra Automaton beside it only reached its knees.

But upon closer inspection, it was an ugly monster.

Its head was small, but its mouth was large, occupying about a third of its entire face.

Moreover, its body proportions were bizarre; its arms were of different lengths, its legs varied in thickness, its upper body was long while its lower body was short, and even its skin was patchy, each part a different color. The overall appearance resembled a stitched-together monster or a poorly made flesh golem, hastily assembled from various body parts.

However, as Su Nan gazed at this ugly golem, a satisfied and delighted smile appeared on his face.

The flesh and blood materials used to create the Divine Body Golem were not limited to Divine Corpses; they also included the flesh and blood of many powerful creatures, with the Divine Corpses serving as the core and the others as supplementary ingredients.

The most crucial core was made from a Legendary Soul Crystal and a Divine Energy Crystal.

"Number 1, energize the Divine Body Golem."

[Command received, commencing energization]



As the monotonous mechanical voice fell, a dazzling blue light suddenly illuminated the right side of the laboratory's entrance wall, quickly spreading downward along the wall's seams, like a lightning-fast web across the floor, and then extending upward towards the Divine Body Golem.

Buzz!

A deep sound of energy transmission reverberated within the Divine Body Golem, and a faint glow emerged from its eye sockets.

Under the guidance of the Crystal Trace, energy rapidly spread throughout the Divine Body Golem, activating it swiftly.

The next moment, the Divine Body Golem abruptly sat up, paused for a moment, and then jumped off the workbench with a loud thud, standing motionless before Su Nan. Its massive and towering body exuded a mountain-like oppressive pressure.

Su Nan nodded silently, patiently waiting for the energization process to complete before issuing new commands.

"Activate Divine Mode."

As the command was given, the Divine Body Golem's body suddenly trembled, and a hollow, hoarse, and low roar emanated from its throat, enveloping the entire laboratory with an inexplicable sense of oppression, despair, and hatred.

Even with Su Nan's strength, he felt a wave of oppression wash over him at that moment.

His expression unchanged, he intently observed the golem before him.

A dark glow emanated from within the golem, and its form rapidly transformed, twisting and writhing like a soft-bodied creature. It rapidly changed into various strange shapes.

Countless faces churned and surfaced, each screaming in agony and rage, rapidly morphing and calling out a name.

The sound was unlike any known language.

Su Nan couldn't understand the meaning of the sound, but he guessed what it was calling out—the divine name of the Spider Queen.

In an instant, the originally ugly stitched-together monster vanished, replaced by a woman with a beautiful face and a captivating figure.

Her lithe and curvaceous body was wrapped in a long cloak and robe woven from transparent spider silk, making her incredibly alluring and captivating.

In her palm, she held a green spider dagger that shimmered with a chilling, eerie glow under the Mana Stone's light.

Her entire appearance was identical to that of the fallen Spider Queen!

"Not bad!"

A smile crept onto Su Nan's lips.

This was the true power of the Divine Body Golem! In its normal state, it was only slightly more powerful than the Supreme Golem, far from the combat prowess of a True Spirit Sorcerer.

The reason it could be compared to a True Spirit Sorcerer was its Divine Mode! After activating Divine Mode, the Divine Body Golem could transform into the deity whose flesh and blood were used to create the golem, thereby gaining a portion of that deity's combat power.

In Divine Mode, the Divine Body Golem not only retained the golem's inherent fearlessness, limitless strength, and formidable defense but also acquired a portion of the deity's power.

This combination made the Divine Body Golem a formidable force to be reckoned with, rivaling a True Spirit Sorcerer!
