Chapter 387: Moon's Judgment (Third Update)
Chapter 387: Moon's Judgment (Third Update)
In most cases, offering Carmen's Book as a condition to allow them or their descendants to learn magic is usually enough to seal the deal.
As for the few who still refuse, Jerry doesn't force the issue.
After all, the fundamental principles of many Daoist spells are similar. As long as he acquires and thoroughly understands the majority of them, it's sufficient.
Ending the Dream Induction Technique, Jerry slowly opened his eyes in the Li Family's guest room.
"Is it Cardcaptor Sakura or Young and Dangerous?"
One is a Japanese anime he watched in his past life, and the other is a Hong Kong film. They are completely different styles, yet they coexist in the same world.
This question has been nagging at him ever since he recognized Chen Haonan from Young and Dangerous.
He had always assumed that the Mini Worlds the Panel brought him to were from specific anime or movie universes.
For example, in the first Mini World, when he received the acceptance owl, he thought it was the Harry Potter universe.
In the second world, when he met Dave and Balthazar, he believed it was The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
In the third world, when he saw Sakura and the Clow Cards, he thought it was Cardcaptor Sakura.
However, the Panel never explicitly told him what kind of Mini World he was entering. It only mentioned that these Mini Worlds all share a common feature: the existence of magic.
So Jerry now speculates that each Mini World might be a fully realized world with countless stories, not just one specific narrative.
He just hasn't paid much attention to it.
In his past life, there were so many movies, novels, comics, and anime, each forming countless stories.
Similarly, within these Magic Pocket Realms, countless stories unfold.
For instance, while he was studying at Hogwarts, other stories from his past life's movies or novels might have been happening simultaneously around the world.
Perhaps an event from his past life's world has become a story in another Mini World's movie or novel.
Or even more intriguingly, could he himself be the protagonist of a story in some other world?
He had pondered before why he appeared in the Marvel world and why the Panel helped him travel to other Mini Worlds. Could it be the work of one or more great beings?
Since learning about the concept of the multiverse, he has developed this hypothesis.
This hypothesis was further solidified when he saw Young and Dangerous characters in the Cardcaptor Sakura world.
Whether it's the Main World or the Mini Worlds, each is an independent and real world. The stories that unfold in these worlds spread to other worlds in ways he currently cannot understand.
He isn't entering a movie world; instead, he has been taken from his original world by some powerful entity and placed in the Marvel universe.
The Panel operates on the same principle to help him enter other worlds.
As for why this is happening, he still doesn't know. It could be for fun, for experimentation, or for some ulterior motive.
To understand the reason, he might need to become powerful enough to surpass Odin, the Ancient One, the Dimensional Demon, and even the entire Marvel Universe, to transcend it entirely.
So, he still had a long way to go. His current strength was but a drop in the vast ocean, not even worth mentioning.
Perhaps one day, when he became powerful enough, he wouldn't need the Panel or red stars. He could rely on his own abilities to freely travel to other worlds, even the world he came from in his previous life.
Four months later.
Jerry sat cross-legged in the Li Family's alchemy room, using the unique Sanmei True Fire of Taoism to burn the Spacetime Box floating in the air, continuously infusing it with intricate magical techniques.
As he continued to refine it, the Spacetime Box began to undergo a strange transformation in appearance.
"Combine!"
With a loud shout, Jerry infused the final magical technique. The original Spacetime Box transformed into an ancient, simple ring, landing in his hand.
Indeed, after four months of guidance from the Li Family's Alchemy Elder and studying the alchemy techniques of various sects, he had finally managed to transform and strengthen the Spacetime Box without affecting its internal spatial stability, after destroying dozens of his own creations.
The Spacetime Box he refined today was the one he had been continuously expanding with the Traceless Expansion Spell, which now had an area approaching that of a province.
Putting on the old Spacetime Box and the new Spatial Ring, Jerry muttered to himself:
"For now, this will do. Once my alchemy skills improve, I'll find a way to refine it to the point where it can achieve Weapon-Body Fusion and merge with my body."
Currently, with his alchemy skills, he could only change the shape of a magical artifact and add some defensive magic and Taoist techniques.
True alchemy masters could create artifacts that could fuse with the body, stored in the consciousness for instant use, making them both safer and more convenient.
However, such a level of alchemy skill was only recorded in Taoist texts. Even the most skilled alchemy elder in the Li Family couldn't achieve it, so it would definitely take Jerry several more years to reach that level.
"Hey, Mr. Carmen, what a coincidence! I heard that a Wax Museum has opened on Tianping Mountain. The wax figures are incredibly lifelike, almost indistinguishable from real people. Would you like to go check it out together?"
As Jerry walked out of the alchemy room, he encountered Li Xiao Lang's second sister, who was pretending to run into him by chance.
"Sorry, Miss, but I'm leaving Xiangjiang today, so I won't be able to accompany you."
Jerry smiled and explained, then walked toward the living room where the Li Family's head was, leaving the disappointed Li Family's second daughter behind.
Life at the Li Family was great. He had access to a vast collection of Taoist texts to study and could discuss Taoist techniques with the Li Family elders, who, though not powerful, had dedicated their lives to researching these arts.
Every afternoon, he opened a portal to return to Japan, teaching Sakura and the others magic and studying the new Clow Cards they collected.
Living a comfortable life.
The only downside was that Li Xiao Lang's sisters were overly enthusiastic, which he found a bit overwhelming.
However, since they were all daughters of the Li Family, he couldn't always refuse them without losing face.
Now that he had largely achieved his goals, he decided to temporarily leave the Li Family and return to Tomodachi Town to continue his cultivation.
Moreover, based on the speed at which Sakura was collecting the Clow Cards, only the Earth Card remained uncollected, which was likely to happen in the next couple of days.
Once the last Earth Card was captured, the Moon's Judgment would begin.
After the judgment, the Archmage Eriol Hiiragizawa, who inherited nearly half of Clow Reed's magic power and memories, should also appear.
