"Magic promotion is a long process. No matter which kind of essence you enlighten or which path you choose, you must thoroughly study the corresponding magic history, rituals, spells, utensils, materials, and master meditation, prayer, and resonance. There are different promotion methods, which are consistent with the archangels represented by each Sephiroth. Starting from the crown, experiencing consciousness, reason, love, power, life, triumph, glory, and scepter, until reaching the kingdom, the completed path will form a path of order. Sword, break through Axia’s barrier and make you equal to the gods.”
At this moment, Tam's voice carried a grand and sacred quality.
22 primeval qualities, countless paths, ten sephirot on each path, crown, consciousness, reason, love, power, life, triumph, glory, scepter, and crown, form the path of magical advancement.
"However, when you truly embark on the path of magic, you will find that the road ahead is extremely difficult. In addition to the vast knowledge, there are also three abyss blocking your way forward to achieve the 'Crown', 'Consciousness', and 'Principle' , 'Love', you will face the first abyss, achieve 'Right', 'Life', 'Triumph', 'Glory', encounter the second abyss, achieve 'Scepter', and 'Kingdom', you need Only by crossing the third abyss can we grasp the sword of order."
The triple abyss... sounds like the triple pass. After thinking for a moment, Li Liang asked: "Is there a specific level for promotion?"
"Theoretically not," Tam said with a smile, "but the Ministry of Magic under the Council of Law and Order will hold magic level examinations regularly. Taking the exams can obtain level certifications recognized by the Ministry of Magic. From lowest to highest, they are, Disciple, The soul, the theorist, the practitioner, the philosopher, the master, the master of forgiveness, the leader of the palace, the magician, the ultimate self.”
Magic actually requires...a professional title test?
Li Liang was speechless.
"These levels correspond to the ten sephiroths on the path. After enlightening the original essence, you can take the soul-residing exam. Reaching the two sephiroths of 'Crown' and 'Knowledge' can take the theorist exam. Reaching the Sephiroth 'reason' and passing the exam is a practitioner," Love' is the master who crosses the first level of abyss and is rated as the master of forgiveness. He who crosses the second level of abyss is the leader of the palace. The third level is the magician who masters the sword of order and is called the ultimate self," Tam introduced He said, "However, no creature has been able to pass the 'Magician' exam for a long time, causing 'Magician' to become an honorific title. Every creature that studies magic likes to be called 'Magician'."
"Salon said you are the Master of Absolution."
"Oh, yes, you could say that, although I haven't taken any magic exams."
"Where are the other advisors?"
"Oh, none of them have ever taken the magic exam. I think one-seventh of the secret method is equivalent to a master, but Yareli and Saron are natives of the spiritual world and cannot be considered."
Li Liang suddenly realized and asked subconsciously: "What is the meaning of taking the magic exam?"
Tam said without hesitation: "Oh, mainly to find a job."
"..."
What kind of magic level is that called academic qualifications?
"I understand," Li Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Tam is right, magic is equivalent to science. If you have a good degree, you can find a good job. It doesn't matter if you don't take the exam. As long as you have real skills, you can naturally make a living.
I just don’t know if there are distinctions such as 985 and 211 among places to learn magic in the spiritual world.
"Oh, if you have the chance, you can also take the magic exam," Tam rubbed the beard on his lips, "I know a good professor who can tutor you in magic courses, right in Makosik City, the price is Very fair."
Yes, there are cram schools.
"Well, maybe next time," Li Liang pursed his lips, "What about the dominator and the psychic?"
"Oh, human beings are very special. On the surface, the dominator should be close to the master. Most psychics are equivalent to practitioners. However, their mastery of magic comes entirely from that inorganic creature, so it is just a castle in the air. The magic they use The variety and manifestations are very limited.”
"New world..."
"Oh, yes, the goblin called it 'Bu Bu'. It was originally a rare creature composed of a special electric charge structure, but the goblin transformed it into..."
Li Liang whispered: "Tian Ling?"
"Similar, but not exactly the same as you," Tam thought with a face. "According to Dododisar's theory of heavenly spirits, although it can increase inspiration without limit, the 'inspiration' will appear significantly when it is close to the phantom species. of quantum decoherence.”
“What exactly does quantum decoherence mean?”
"Oh, its life comes from calculations. Once quantum decoherence occurs, it is equivalent to human beings losing their own consciousness."
Li Liang nodded. To put it bluntly, it means "regressing to the zero consciousness state", which is the zero stage among the four existence stages of Tianling creatures.
However, if the life of the new world comes from computing... wouldn't it be like a computer?
Tam pondered: "However, I briefly communicated with it and found that although its consciousness was confused, it was not completely diminished. Perhaps the demigod power given to it by the goblin grandmother and the devouring of a phantom species caused it to It barely maintains the status quo. On the one hand, the abilities it displays are similar to those of heavenly spirits, able to trace, control, and accommodate spirits. On the other hand, they are close to demigods and can complete enlightenment. However, both aspects are extremely unstable and completely different from you. "
"I?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I listened to Mr. K's thoughts and learned about your enlightenment on the two psychics," Tam bowed slightly.
"Oh, it doesn't matter," Li Liang waved his hand, "You continue."
"Your thinking is very clear, and you are a perfect heavenly spirit." Tam leaned forward and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, you can not only see the flow of spirits, but also freely control spirits, and even swallow them. The spirits of other creatures.”
"Yes," Li Liang didn't have to hold anything back when facing Tam, "but it can only devour ownerless spirits, or spirits within corpses."
"Oh..." Tam lost consciousness for a moment, "It's hard to imagine..."
Li Liang asked: "What other abilities does Tianling have?"
"I don't know much about heavenly spirits. Perhaps in the entire spiritual world, only Dododisar can answer your question," Tam shook his head regretfully, "However, I understand demigods."
Li Liang sat up straight.
"That inorganic creature can only give humans control close to that of a 'practitioner'. You will find that psychics believe that magic is essentially a language. By chanting a fixed spell, a magic with a fixed effect is cast. In the spiritual world, only when the soul has just been transferred and the archangel represented by the first sephirot has not yet been summoned, will the creature use magic in this way."
Li Liang was ashamed.
In fact, he thought so before, but it wasn't until he witnessed a goblin casting a spell in the Bureau of Order dungeon that he realized that this view was quite crude.
"But you are different, you are a true demigod," Tam smiled.
"Why?"
"Because in the early hours of the morning we had a brief communication in the presence of Jezila."
"Oh," Li Liang responded, "Yes, you speak very slowly."
Tamu smiled and said: "I have tried my best, and only the majestic path can allow me to communicate directly with a demigod in Yeqila at the level of the Master of Absolution. You must know that it is difficult."
"I remember feeling Saolis."
"Yes, the demigod can resonate with his followers in Jeqira."
I see.
Yaqira is a cognitive existence, a level where magic spells exist, and a level where demigods and believers communicate.
"That inorganic creature cannot do this, so I think it is an incomplete celestial spirit, an incomplete demigod." At this point, Tam spread his hands and praised, "Based on my limited experience, you are Unique in the entire spiritual world, oh, the Naaru witnessed a miracle, a celestial demigod!"
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know how I became a heavenly spirit, let alone a demigod."
He sighed, and quickly recounted the contents of the video in the weapon base, the appearance of Emperor Haotian at the Gate of Spiritual Reason, and the experience of the Chawu Realm, and then stared at Tam with hope.
"Oh, Chaos..." Tam jumped off the sofa and walked up to Li Liang. He looked at the double-ring ring on Li Liang's right hand and the flying sword tattoo on his left hand, and murmured, "Let me think about it..."
for a long time.
Prince River Toad stretched out his hand, caressed the double ring, and said softly: "Just now, I told you that the 22 elements represent the 22 gods. So, what do you think the God of Chaos is?"
Li Liang thought for a moment and said, "I have listened to Saolis's thoughts. Part of her understanding, uh, is that Chaos is a god with vague divinity. Belief in Chaos will lead to slow advancement and very weak power."
"Oh, yes, basic magic textbooks often say this. However, it is recorded in the "Book of Enlightenment" that the God of Chaos is above the 22 gods and represents creation."
"Um?"
Tam glanced at the flying sword tattoo: "This starts with the three pillars of magic, and is related to the origin of Taoism."
Li Liang took a deep breath, feeling that his views were about to be shattered again.
"The 22 attributes represented by the 22 gods cover all the rules for the operation of the spiritual world. According to the characteristics of each attribute, they can be divided into three categories: creation, balance, and destruction." Tam held out three fingers, "For example The fertile essence enlightened by Saolis represents knowledge and belongs to creation, the Naaru I believe in enlightens kindness, represents light and belongs to balance, and the dominator enlightens the death knell, which represents the undead and belongs to destruction."
Li Liang nodded to express his understanding.
"In the Book of Enlightenment, the God of Chaos represents creation, the God of Order represents balance, and the God of Cunning represents destruction. What does this mean?" Tam was like a questioning teacher.
Li Liang said in surprise: "It means that belief in chaos can enlighten several kinds of essence."
"Seven types," Tam showed seven fingers with both hands, and then said, "The God of Order, eight types, the God of Cunning, seven types."
Seven kinds!
Li Liang instantly remembered that when he was enlightening Brother Shui, seven options appeared on Brother Shui's figure in Ling's vision. He chose one at random, and the result was the essence of penance.
"After believing in these three gods and receiving enlightenment, and choosing a path, the difficulty will increase significantly the first time you summon the Archangel represented by the Sephiroth."
No wonder... Li Liang completely understood what Tam meant.
Archangels should be equivalent to the subordinates of the gods represented by the primeval. Now the leaders who are directly in charge of the leadership leapfrog the hierarchy and issue orders. Of course, the execution is not smooth.
Tam continued: "Taoism originated from this. In the distant past, when most beings from the physical world accepted magic as a tool for them to understand the world, while others went in the opposite direction, especially a man who claimed to be In the life of Yuanshi Fazu, he only regarded gods as another life form existing in Axia and refused to accept magic. He had unparalleled wisdom and saw the three basic forces of creation, balance and destruction, and thus created Learn Taoism."
Li Liang vaguely remembered the introduction to the Master of Yuanshi in "Introduction to Taoism".
The Tao is the ultimate truth of spiritual wisdom, and the Dharma is the mystery of change.
At the same time, he also remembered another thing... In the spiritual world, there are only three places where it can be completed.
"Different from relying on gods, Taoism uses life itself as a container to control the power of the spirit in a unique way. In response to enlightenment, Taoism calls it stroking the top," Tam placed his hand on the flying sword tattoo. "Creation, balance, and destruction, the three basic powers correspond to the three imperial dynasties that can be supported, Qingwei Tiancheng, Dachicheng, and Duyujing."
It's really not a coincidence.
Li Liang knew that he had guessed correctly.
Tam raised his head and said solemnly: "I don't know much about Taoism. It is said that among the three emperors, Emperor Haotian of Du Yujing is the representative..."
create?
This was Li Liang's first reaction. Since he chose to help him, he must have the same power as the God of Chaos.
"destroy."
"Ah?" Li Liang was completely stunned.
"Yes, for magicians who study Taoism, Emperor Haotian is equivalent to the God of Cunning, representing destruction." Tam pointed to the flying sword tattoo and the double-ring ring, "The world of Chawu is the fallen god of the God of Cunning. It is the most mysterious place among the sixteen known places where gods have fallen.""
Li Liang's face turned pale and he said, "Well, I saw it in your book. What is the Land of Fallen Gods?"
"The Land of the Fallen Gods refers to the area where the gods have manifested themselves in the Aqi Road, and there are traces of the existence of the gods. In fact, Makosik City is a place of the Fallen Gods, and Naru once manifested in the city. , was visually observed by creatures, so Makosik was also called..."
"The Lair of the Naaru."
Li Liang and Tam said this in unison.
Tam bowed down with a pious voice, then straightened up and motioned to Li Liang to raise his hands.
"This ring represents belief in Chaos, and you are already the demigod chosen by the God of Chaos." Tam pointed at the flying sword tattoo again, "This flying sword, if I guess correctly, comes from Du Yujing , because only the magicians from Du Yujing can use flying swords."
"Emperor Haotian?"
Tam said quietly, "Sorry, Li Liang, I have never seen the process of 'touching the top' with my own eyes. I don't know exactly how 'destruction' exists in Du Yujing. I can only speculate that this flying sword must be The source of power from a more powerful existence, even Emperor Haotian.”
Li Liang said in disbelief: "Then why did he help me? Tianling was related to him, and that time with the Gate of Spiritual Reason, why?"
At this time.
Tam suddenly opened his eyes: "Oh... Hermes' dream..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Tam quickly returned to normal, thought for a moment and said, "I mean, the truth is in the two memories you lost."
"..."
Doesn't this mean that he didn't say anything... Li Liang smiled bitterly.
Tam patted Li Liang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Li Liang, there is a proverb among the river frog people, the truth is hidden in the croaking."
"ah?"
"Oh, the Toad Man's clock will croak," Tam smiled. "It means that when the time comes, the truth will be revealed. Moreover, when we get to the base you mentioned, I want to see the video with my own eyes."
"good."
Li Liang opened the curtains and looked outside through the porthole.
The airship has approached Xicheng District.
It was quiet inside the boat.
Li Liang rubbed the double ring, slowly closed his eyes, and murmured: "Chaos."
On the sofa opposite, Tam Kench, who had always been gentle and loving, showed his inner anger for the first time. For a moment, his little body felt a little slumped again, and he sighed softly.
