"Sefirah …"
Grim muttered this name in his heart. Though he did not say anything, his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
Of course he knew about sefirah.
It was an extremely rare item, a top-notch resource exclusive to rank 4 Magi.
To be more specific, sefirah was a special resource formed from the combination of a plane's laws and a certain substance.
In an ordinary world, the plane's origin was hidden behind the world's structure and laws. It was a part of the world's laws that flowed at all times and could not be captured.
Only when a plane suffered great damage and could no longer maintain its integrity and stability would the world's membrane break, allowing a void storm to invade the plane. Only then would a portion of the plane's origin be released due to the destruction of the law system. One of the main reasons why the astral beasts liked to invade planes was because they wanted to devour the 'sweet and delicious' plane's origin.
Astral beasts could tear apart the plane's barriers and break the balance of the plane, allowing them to devour the stray plane's origin.
This was a necessary process for the astral beasts to grow stronger!
Hence, it was not without reason that the astral beasts were known as the enemies of planes and all living beings.
In the past, there were very few ancient Magi who could transcend the plane's laws. One of the main reasons was that the laws of planes were illusory and unfathomable. One could only rely on shocking talent and luck, spending a lot of time to slowly comprehend them.
This process was the hardest to grasp!
Even if one had shocking talent and outstanding battle prowess, once one was stuck at comprehending the plane's laws, the most likely outcome would be to spend hundreds of years without any progress. In the end, one's lifespan would be exhausted and they would die with regrets.
In the past hundreds of thousands of years in the Magus World, countless geniuses and geniuses had been stuck at the peak of rank 4, unable to grasp the power of laws and becoming short-lived meteors.
Many Magi were talented and intelligent. In order to solve this huge problem, they had racked their brains and used all sorts of methods. Finally, in some damaged planes, Magi who were brave enough to explore discovered this strange resource, sefirah, and analysed the mechanism by which it was formed.
From then on, powerful Magi began to consciously destroy some planes to induce the birth of sefirah. The appearance of large amounts of sefirah made it a hundred times easier for Magi to comprehend the plane's laws compared to ancient Magi.
This ultimately led to the number of Grand Wizards being more than ten times that of the ancient times.
Even so, destroying an entire realm and indirectly killing tens of billions of lifeforms was all for the sake of some Origin Substance. The more evil they did, the more the sorcerers were hated by the other races.
In the records of many planes, Magi, the demons of the Abyss World, and the Lords of Calamity of the Calamity World were all classified as evil. This was also directly related to the fact that Magi would carry out large-scale blood sacrifices or concoction of Origin Substances wherever they went.
However, in recent years, with the continuous emergence of Great Sorcerers, in order to improve the Sorcerer Faction's image to the outside world, they had no choice but to ban the deliberate destruction of planes and worlds to gather Origin Substance. As a result, the supply of Origin Substance in the past few thousand years had greatly decreased.
In the Magus World, no matter what type of Origin Substance it was, it was classified as a grade 4 item, and its price was so high that it made one speechless.
Due to the rarity of Origin Substance, it had become a top-notch resource that even grade 4 Magi fought over. Ordinary grade 3 Magi had no way of obtaining it.
Therefore, when Wizard Freid suddenly mentioned Origin Substance, Grimm's heart couldn't help but race. He had a strange feeling.
"It seems like you already know about Origin Substance, so I won't go into detail about its uses." A crafty smile appeared on Wizard Freid's face, "So, Mr. Grimm, I wonder if you'd like to obtain some Origin Substance?"
"Mr. Freid, if there's anything you want to say, just say it! As long as it's within my capabilities, I won't refuse! "
"Good, good, good …" Hearing Grimm's reply, Wizard Freid's face immediately broke into a smile, "In the past few hundred years, there hasn't been a new grade 4 Magus in our scattered tower forest. Therefore, the association is planning to gather a few of the most popular grade 3 Magi in the central continent to have a fair competition and choose a winner! "
Speaking up to this point, Wizard Freid paused for a moment, then squinted his eyes and continued, "The reward for the winner is to join the association, enjoy the benefits of a grade 4 Magus, and receive 500 Sith Origin Substance."
Grimm's heart suddenly stopped beating, and it took a long time for it to start beating again.
Sith was a unit of measurement for Origin Substance.
Due to the special nature of Origin Substance, it had no weight, no volume, and could be attached to any material. Therefore, it could only be absorbed by non-elemental crystals. This was the only way to ensure that the law of Origin Substance would not be 'contaminated' by the substance of the plane.
In auctions and private transactions between high-grade Magi, Origin Substance was always in high demand.
However, those that could be taken out for auction were mostly low-grade Origin Substance that had been contaminated by the substance of the plane. The law of Origin Substance inside had already been corroded by the ubiquitous magic elements. True high-grade Origin Substance had always existed in the private collections of high-grade Magi. They were kept a secret and would never appear in public.
The Origin Substance that Wizard Freid was talking about was definitely the high-grade Origin Substance!
According to Grimm's understanding, 500 Sith Origin Substance was actually not a lot.
According to the statistics of the Magus World, if a grade 4 Magus wanted to comprehend and control the laws of the world with the Origin Substance, the amount of Origin Substance consumed would depend on the individual's innate talent. For those with great innate talent, 7000 Sith Origin Substance would be enough. For those with poor innate talent, they would need 20,000 to 50,000 Sith Origin Substance.
If a Magus forcefully destroyed a small plane, the total amount of Origin Substance they could obtain would only be 100,000 Sith Origin Substance!
Therefore, to nurture a great Magus that could surpass grade 4, the amount of resources needed was simply astonishing. It was not something that a normal Magus family could afford.
500 Sith Origin Substance might not be enough for a grade 4 Magus to reach grade 5, but for a grade 3 Magus who had already reached the peak, it would be enough for them to smoothly cross the threshold and become a powerful grade 4 Magus!
With Grimm's confidence in himself, even without the Origin Substance, he was confident that he could smoothly reach grade 4 in one or two hundred years. However, with this Origin Substance, the time he needed to advance would be shortened to an inconceivable degree.
Hence, the temptation of 500 Sith Origin Substance was incomparably great!
Competition … Origin Substance …
Grimm listened attentively, silently savoring the information. He still had some doubts about the association's motives.
The grade 4 Magi of the association definitely had some Origin Substance in their hands. These were the guarantees that they could use to advance. If they used all of them, they would feel that it was not enough. Who would be so kind as to take out the Origin Substance they had painstakingly gathered and give it to their juniors?
This was not in line with the selfish nature of Magi!
Hence, there was definitely some hidden conspiracy behind the association's participation in the Grade 3 Magus Competition. It was just that with Grimm's current status and identity, he did not have the means to find out more.
"Who are the participants this time?" Grimm asked in a low voice.
"Originally, there were only three veteran grade 3 Magi. Garrow from the Randner family, Dante from the Annemdor Academy, and Sanazar from the Salubo family … In view of your outstanding performance in the previous Magus family war, many elders in the association suggested that you be added to the list of participants. How about it, little fellow, are you willing to participate in this competition? "
At this moment, even with the A.I. Chip's high speed calculations, it could not calculate all the pros and cons. Everything depended on Grimm's personal analysis and judgment.
There was definitely a crisis.
However, the existence of a crisis could only indicate danger and opportunity.
For those who were prepared, a crisis was an opportunity. It was a good time to break the rules and surpass the enemy. However, for those who were unprepared, a crisis was a real danger. It would push them into a difficult situation where they could not advance or retreat.
The reason why he was here was undoubtedly because of Alice's attitude.
From Alice's subtle hints before they set off, Grim vaguely understood something.
Grimm raised his head and met Sir Fred's gaze, nodding heavily.
"Sir Fred, I am willing to participate in this competition!"
"Good, very good …" Wizard Fred nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and ordered, "Lauren, you have heard Grimm's reply. Go and make the arrangements!"
"Yes, Sir!" Lauren glanced at Grimm with a complicated expression, then turned around and left.
"Alright, during this period of time, you can rest and adjust yourself in Kirslin Castle. The association will announce the competition to all the Magus families and organisations scattered across the Tower Forest. They will be invited to send representatives to participate in this competition. It is estimated that the competition will start in three months. This way, even the Magus families in the most remote areas will have a chance to rush over! "
President Fred answered a lot of questions before waving his hand and sending Grim away.
After Grimm's figure disappeared from the room, President Fred stroked his beard and smiled, muttering to himself in silence.
Light and shadow flashed in the room, and a male and a female Sorcerer appeared.
"How is it? You have also observed Grimm. What do you think of him? "Fred did not seem to be surprised by their appearance and asked directly.
"His body's data is a little strange. It seems to be a little too high …" The new Magus had a thin figure, but his face was hale and hearty. He was also an old Magus, the vice president of the association, Magus Mirva.
As for the female Magus, she was the rank 4 Magus Clara, the current head of the Randner family. The Magus who was participating in the competition, Face Breaker Garrow, was a member of her family.
"Apart from his body's data, there are also some problems with his soul waves. There seems to be something strange mixed in it …" Magus Clara said coldly.
President Fred and Vice President Mirva pondered for a moment and could not help but nod their heads in agreement.
That's right, there is something strange in this brat's soul waves that is completely different from a human's. It is very hard to fathom …
"No matter how strange his soul is, as long as it does not affect the competition, it will be fine. Don't forget, there's less than 30 years left. If we don't find a scapegoat by then, we'll be the unlucky ones! "Wizard Freid clenched his teeth and squeezed out these cold words from between his teeth.
