Chapter 66: Same Sequence, Food!

Inside the alchemy room.

Looking at the first-tier wizard trait in his hand.

Ta Ni Lu's eyes were about to stare straight.

"This purity, this perfect nature of the sequence—it's… it's exactly like a sequence born from the Sequence Origin Tree."

"You… how did you do it?"

Ta Ni Lu, holding the wizard trait, looked at Ta Ke, unable to believe it.

Ta Ke, this guy who hasn't even attended a single alchemy class.

Using an old, obsolete source-energy steam engine who-knows-how-many times eliminated, and a makeshift furnace crucible he happened to have, he actually… refined an almost-perfect wizard trait crystal.

He felt his worldview being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the other.

"Perhaps I might have a talent for this as well."

Ta Ke brought the wizard trait over, examined it closely, and simultaneously activated his Spirit Touch Perception.

【A batch of highly pure, nearly perfect first-tier wizard trait】

Ta Ke possesses the wizard ability 'Spirit Touch Perception'; he himself is a natural 'analyzer'.

To perceive the essence of the world!

This is also one of the traits of a 'Transcendent Wizard'.

At this moment, this first-tier wizard trait that has been smelted.

It has reached the level where it can be taken directly and quickly digested and absorbed.

After storing this wizard trait properly.

Ta Ke re-stabilized the source-energy steam engine that began to wobble on the table, and started smelting the second transcendent trait.

Meanwhile, Ta Ni Lu stood blankly to the side, suddenly feeling as if he were superfluous.

Watching the other surpass him in an instant and fling him far behind gave him a feeling of empty loss.

Such a gap, he fears he may never catch up in his lifetime.

But soon, Ta Ke's question pulled him back.

"Ta Ni Lu, I raised the temperature a lot on this transcendent trait, why won't it reach the melting point? If I keep raising the temperature, I even feel like this thing might explode."

Ta Ni Lu, upon hearing that, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps Ta Ke's talent is truly high.

But he is ultimately just a novice who just entered the door, lacking complete basic theoretical knowledge.

Um… the feeling of finding one's own worth—well, it's actually quite nice.

Maintain roughly the same temperature as before, and time will give you the answer.

"Is this wizard inclined toward fire? Does it have fire immunity? Does it need time to clear the fire meridians?" Ta Ke understood instantly.

"Yes! For this fire-type material, taking time is the best method."

"Then is there any faster method?"

"Yes!"

"What method?"

"A higher-grade transcendent flame, a more powerful furnace crucible with seal rune power."

"A rune furnace crucible? Using rune power to make a furnace?" Ta Ke raised his eyebrows.

"Yes! That's the world of the wealthy." Ta Ni Lu laughed.

"Want to, you also buy a rune furnace?"

"Um… I still think honestly burning a furnace suits me better."

Ta Ke thought for a moment and said seriously.

"Whether it's about money or not isn't the issue; mainly I like the feeling of solidifying foundations."

…………

Several days passed in a flash during Ta Ke's furnace-burning process.

Besides the daily furnace burning.

Ta Ke's struggle to escape the protection of the Lamor Steam Ecology also did not stop.

With the help of Ta Ni Lu's 'Nurture' and 'Recovery' spells, although the effect wasn't as fast as in the Undead Rift, it was still much better than Ta Ke's own slow recovery.

What concerned Ta Ke most was also the Bulwark.

Each day, Ta Ke completes a ritual, summoning the great Bulwark World, then absorbing, digesting, and cutting it.

Ordinary people daring to do this would likely have become faithful believers of the wall itself.

Moreover, with the substitution of the Undead Raven, Ta Ke became even more unscrupulous.

With the Bulwark as an anchor for Ta Ke's wizard ecology, his wizard ecology became visibly stable and substantial.

And as the wizard ecology naturally operated, after gradually becoming smoothly coordinated.

Ta Ke also gained a new harvest.

That is the Origin Dark Sea, which also gradually shows certain anchor-like properties.

Whenever Ta Ke sits cross-legged in meditation.

Ta Ke can feel the Origin Dark Sea continuously drawing origin power from deep within the Origin Dimension, strengthening his wizard ecology.

Although the Origin Dark Sea is currently only three times the size of Ta Ke's own Source Pool.

But their essential transcendent traits are different.

The Pool's trait: even if its volume is large, essentially it is small, easily affected by external influences.

The Sea's trait: even if it looks small, essentially it is large; it is a naturally high-ranking existence, after all the Origin Sea itself is the end of the origin energy meridians.

Taku observed his own source pool at that moment, and it was just a bowl of calm water.

When observing the Origin Dark Sea, it had its own rising and falling tides, its own oceanic cyclones, and even its own oceanic undercurrents.

The two are completely different in nature.

After the Origin Dark Sea began to operate on its own and gradually acquired the characteristics of the sea,

its anchoring effect on Taku also gradually came into play.

"As long as I continuously strengthen the Origin Dark Sea, my wizard ecology can continuously increase its ecological intensity."

Knowing this characteristic of the Origin Dark Sea, Taku naturally began to transmit his daily source energy experience.

Anyway, the 【Steady Development System】 anchored to the Demon King's tomb gives Taku a steady and large amount of experience every day.

By transmitting a portion of source energy experience each day to expand the Origin Dark Sea, this allows the Origin Dark Sea to expand steadily without disrupting its own source energy operation, thereby affecting the anchoring of the wizard ecology.

The hut, the meditation cultivation spot.

Taku flipped his hand and produced a first-order wizard trait, whose specific level should be around level 15.

After these days of furnace burning.

Taku has already smelted all the wizard traits he obtained.

Even those contaminated materials, Taku also completed smelting them all together.

Of course, explosions were inevitable during the process.

When Taku attempted to smelt a certain volatile material, just touching it caused it to explode like gunpowder with a "Boom!"

Fortunately, Taku's wizard robe had a shield, so he was unharmed.

This made Taku also feel relieved, fortunate that this extraordinary world possesses wizard robe shields as such protective gear.

Otherwise, alchemists would absolutely be a high-risk sequence!

After pouring this first-order wizard trait into a first-order wizard potion and letting it gradually dissolve,

Taku gulped it down in one mouthful.

Not long after, a feeling of swelling surged in his chest.

Taku glanced slightly, and indeed, his body slowly inflated like a balloon, even his wizard robe was stretched open.

Taku raised his palm, and his palm had already become the size of a palm fan.

Carrying a wizard sequence is already enough for a living being.

At this point, inserting another wizard sequence will cause all kinds of strange situations.

Taku, having closed his eyes again, immersed himself in his own wizard ecology sequence.

The 【Precise·Correction】 trait began to take effect.

The wizard ecology that had rushed back into Taku, growing wildly and disorderly, was gradually precisely absorbed by Taku; even if there were disobedient parts, Taku would correct them and incorporate them into his original wizard tree.

"Fortunately, after my tempering, I have cleared out the pollutants, negative traits, and the original owner's will in this wizard trait crystal."

"Otherwise, entering my wizard ecology, even a slight mistake would cause me heavy losses."

"The harm of this wizard trait itself is already minimal, and combined with my Precise·Correction, I can basically achieve injury-free digestion."

"Unlike other extraordinary beings, swallowing an extra trait of the same sequence is like fighting a war."

"Losing means exploding on the spot and ascending to heaven."

"Winning also requires several months to fully stabilize."

"Swallowing extraordinary traits of the same sequence is extremely dangerous."

"But this gain……is also enormously great."

Taku's eyes narrowed slightly.

As the second wizard trait was gradually swallowed and absorbed by Taku.

The effect has gradually become apparent.

Taku's wizard traits have become increasingly thick and solid.

The entire wizard ecology tree, through the surrounding spell projections, has also become somewhat more solid than before.

Extraordinary beings, same sequence as food!

When Taku was weak before, he didn't have much feeling about this.

But as he swallowed an extraordinary wizard who had painstakingly cultivated to the first order just like him,

this feeling became clearly evident and intense.

"Breath……breath……"

Taku, taking big breaths, had the corners of his mouth gradually outline a ferocious twisted smile.

Greedy, bloodthirsty, killing, crazy!

The trait buried in Taku's bones and soul leaked out unintentionally during the collision, absorption, and fusion of the two wizard sequences.

After the absorption and digestion were completed.

When Taku opened his eyes again, his body had already returned to normal.

While Taku's wizard tree became thicker and its solidity became the foremost existence in the wizard ecology.

"Continue……"

After feeling it carefully and confirming there was no problem, Taku took out another wizard trait crystal.
