Chapter 37: then translation of chapter title

Undead Mage High Tower, second floor of the underground level.

On the meditation spot in the corner of the house.

Using the Primordial Dark Sea to draw source energy, Taku quickly recovers.

While a sense of calm settles in the heart, a hint of joy jumps in the emotions.

"The recovery efficiency of the Primordial Dark Sea is indeed astonishing, roughly three to four times that of the Undead High Tower."

"At the same time, source energy is far purer than that of the Undead High Tower."

"Before, I still thought that if I could carry the Source Energy Tower inside and go adventuring, I wouldn't lack source energy."

"Now, I am constantly soaking in the Primordial Dark Sea; this effect is even better than carrying the high tower."

"When casting spells normally, I basically don't have to worry about lacking source energy."

During meditation recovery, Taku opened the attribute panel.

Check the comprehensive results of this steam tower source pool baptism.

………… no.

This baptism, Taku accumulated a large amount of source energy experience.

However, the upcoming battle may not be easy.

Naturally, Taku raised all of his magical abilities to the peak of the first tier.

Primordial Dark Sea.

Originally, Taku's plan was to raise it to the second tier.

This way, I could beforehand master source energy with stronger transcendent properties.

But.

Returning to the Undead High Tower, when Taku upgraded the Source Energy Dark Sea, he discovered that his Wizard Ecology's carrying capacity seemed to be nearing its limit.

After carefully reviewing, Taku found the source of the problem.

That's it!

I have risen too quickly.

"The 'Wizard's Tree' and the ecology it maintains do not have enough time to blend, adapt, stabilize, and balance."

All ecologies need time to blend.

Even if Taku uses the system to upgrade, it's the same.

Moreover, after the source pool baptism, it inherently needs to absorb, digest, and settle for a period of time.

After figuring all this out.

Taku did not forcibly raise his level.

Instead, he kept the Source Energy Dark Sea's level at the same line as his wizard level.

After reviewing his magic, abilities, and his own level.

Taku directed his gaze to the Transcendent Talent Precision-Correction.

"Vaguely, it feels like touching the ceiling." Taku pondered to himself.

After the transcendent talent increased to 1000%.

Taku still has many fragments.

After returning, Taku continued to increase.

But at this moment, the system prompted.

For transcendent talent increases above 1000%, two fragments are needed to raise it by 1%.

In other words, increasing the transcendent talent value above 1000% is a whole new level.

This can be seen in the transcendent talent evolving from Precision to Precision-Correction, where a slight hint appears.

After Taku increased from 1000% to 1020%.

After discovering that the effect of the increase was minuscule, it can even be said there was no increase.

Obviously, the characteristic of Correction is not a height that a first-tier wizard can reach.

1000%, this is the ceiling Ta Ke can bring out.

And this is already enough.

He carefully felt his own baptism this time and the subsequent slight increase.

Ta Ke let out a light breath.

He took out the 'Ash Clock' from the inner pocket of his mage robe.

The scale on it was already quickly approaching the convergence point of the Ash Date and Ash Night.

"It's about time, and it's almost time to swap the bird gun for a cannon."

Immediately, Ta Ke stood up and walked toward the floor where Lord Ao Bu Li was, above the Undead High Tower.

The more than six hundred demon gold previously prepared will now begin to take effect.

…………

Inside the dim, quiet house.

Ao Bu set down the ancient book that had been in his hand for some years.

He examined the visiting Ta Ke.

After a moment, he then nodded solemnly, and his hoarse voice sounded.

"Not bad, your level-up speed is much faster than I imagined."

"A Man Di also gained quite a good harvest."

"It seems the effect of this baptism is very good."

"However, too rapid a level increase will make your mage tree unstable and the ecology unbalanced."

"Yes!" Ta Ke nodded solemnly.

As an experienced undead mage, Ao Bu Li's expertise in supernatural ecology is profound.

"Time!"

Ao Bu Li gave a solution.

"It can effectively harmonize the mage's ecology and bring it to stability."

"But stability alone is not enough."

"For example……"

Ao Bu Li closed the book in his hand, his slightly withered fingers supporting the whole volume.

"Huh……"

Ao Bu Li gave a light blow.

"Pa!" a sound.

The book fell onto the desk.

Then Ao Bu Li picked up the book again, supporting it with three fingers.

This time, when he blew again, the book stayed there steadily, with a soft ding.

"Do you see it?" Ao Bu Li asked in a hoarse voice.

"Mm, I see it!"

Ta Ke nodded.

"Triangles have stability!"

Ao Bu Li's eye twitched, and he took a deep breath.

He spoke in a low tone with a hint of reprimand.

"It's balance!"

"It's a fragile balance and a solid balance!"

"Living beings are an ecology."

"Your mage sequence is also an ecology."

"When breaking through and advancing, the incoming supernatural traits enter one's own sequence ecology, equivalent to a biological invasion."

"If your ecology is stable within a fragile balance,"

"Even if it's just an ordinary supernatural trait, it will cause your supernatural sequence to collapse dramatically."

"At best, the breakthrough fails and the level regresses."

"At worst, it loses control on the spot and the sequence disintegrates."

"I imagine you've seen plenty of out-of-control situations."

Ta Ke nodded repeatedly.

"But if your ecology's balance is as solid as the earth,"

"Ordinary traits entering will be absorbed and digested by you as easily as eating and drinking."

"Only then do you have the qualification to absorb elite-grade materials, leader-grade materials, and even astonishing lord-grade materials."

"Only then are you qualified to become a great mage."

"And now……"

Ao Bu Li's tone gradually eased.

"Thanks to your soaring level,"

"Your mage ecology…… is as fragile as a sheet of paper!"

"Yes! I have already felt it."

Ta Ke had no excuse for that.

After all, just now Ta Ke indeed felt that his mage ecology's load capacity was nearing its limit.

"We mages possess the essential ability to investigate sequence ecology."

Only the stability of the sequence is what we wizards should pursue.

Only in this way can we see higher and go farther.

I understand, teacher.

Ta Ke nodded.

Next, I don't plan to continue raising my level.

Instead, I will enhance the Wizard Tree's inherent traits, let the Wizard Ecology's traits settle, absorb and grow, and seek more anchors to make my Wizard Ecology more stable.

Ideally, I would reach the point where everything except the ecology is anchor.

Although Aubrey did not formally recruit Ta Ke as an apprentice.

But he is truly Ta Ke's good teacher.

Upon hearing that Ta Ke clearly knew what to do.

Only then did Aubrey slightly nod.

Now, Lamorel is not safe; raising our level first also counts as strengthening our self-defense ability.

This time you came to me—speak, what's the matter?

Jiang is still old and spicy.

Aubrey had long known what Ta Ke came to do.

Stepping forward, Ta Ke handed over the parchment he had prepared earlier.

Upon seeing it, Aubrey's pupils constricted slightly.

This kid, what is he trying to do?

Afterwards, Aubrey collected the parchment, stood up, and said, 'Come with me!'
