The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 320:Three Types of Constructed Life
Chapter 320 - 320:Three Types of Constructed Life
"Although the Truth Council has prohibited battles between Wizards, as you know, the Truth Council is a loose organization with limited control over True Spirit Wizards, especially since many True Spirit Wizards already harbor grudges against each other."
After hearing Meisha's words, Su Nan nodded in understanding.
Not to mention the endless eons of enmity between the Order faction and the Black Wizard faction, even Wizards within the same faction are not a monolithic bloc, and there are more or less conflicts between them.
True Spirit Wizards can temporarily set aside their grudges and unite for the sake of interests, but they can also just as easily turn on each other and act decisively for the sake of those same interests.
In Wizard Town, things are relatively calm, but once outside, away from the eyes of the Truth Council, as long as all opponents are eliminated, there's no need to worry about future troubles.
In such circumstances, faced with the temptation of a Law Node, it's likely that few True Spirit Wizards could resist.
The same logic applies to the gods.
This is why neither the gods nor the True Spirit Wizards concentrate their forces to compete for Temporary Law Nodes.
When everyone is scheming against each other and not united, everyone fears being stabbed in the back.
Along the way, the four of them chatted casually, allowing Su Nan to learn much more about the Realm of Truth.
"Once we go further, we'll enter the buffer zone. We need to be extremely careful to prevent any ambushes."
Meisha's expression became slightly more serious.
Morik and Ortiz also looked solemn, with faint glimmers of law energy shining on their bodies.
Su Nan observed carefully and guessed that Morik and Ortiz likely both controlled elemental laws.
The former was the Law of Hurricanes.
The latter was the Law of Flames.
As for Meisha, she hadn't yet displayed her power, so Su Nan couldn't tell.
After entering the buffer zone, the four of them stopped talking and instead carefully sensed their surroundings, searching for traces of a Law Node.
This search lasted for over half a month.
After so many days without finding a Law Node, Meisha and the other two remained remarkably calm.
Finding a Temporary Law Node is largely a matter of luck. Sometimes, going years or even decades without success is entirely normal.
After all, being in the special environment of the Realm of Truth, even without deliberate cultivation, one's understanding of the laws improves constantly, so it's not a waste of time. Thus, Su Nan wasn't in a hurry.
It's worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the special environment, Su Nan was surprised to find that the law core deep within his consciousness seemed much more active.
This also accelerated the rate at which he was being influenced by high-level Law Power.
"At this rate, it should take just over two more years to fully convert the Law Power."
Su Nan nodded to himself.
Just then, Meisha suddenly said:
"We'll search for two more days, then return to Wizard Town."
The other three naturally had no objections.
The Realm of Truth is vast beyond measure. The buffer zone alone, which occupies about one-fifth of the realm, is far larger than the Starlight Continent.
But all four of them were True Spirit Wizards, and their search speed could only be described as lightning-fast.
In the past half-month, they had almost completely searched the areas of the buffer zone where Temporary Law Nodes were unlikely to exist. Continuing the search wouldn't be of much use, so it was better to return and cultivate for a while before coming out again.
However, during the search the next day, Su Nan suddenly sensed a strong wave of law energy and abruptly stopped.
The other three were drawn to Su Nan's sudden movement, and Meisha's expression tightened as she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Nan focused for a moment, then said with a strange expression, "I think I've found a Law Node."
It was his first time, so he wasn't sure if his perception was accurate.
Hearing this, Meisha and the other two exchanged glances.
In their perception, there was no particularly prominent wave of law energy in the surroundings.
Morik hesitated, "We didn't sense any law energy fluctuations."
At this point, Meisha's expression shifted, and she gave Su Nan a deep look before asking, "Su Nan, which laws do you control?"
Asking a True Spirit Wizard about the laws they control is quite presumptuous.
However, considering that they would likely be fighting together in the future, and Meisha and the others would eventually find out about the laws he controlled, Su Nan decided not to hide it and replied frankly:
"Gravity and Thunder."
As soon as he finished speaking, Morik and Ortiz's eyes widened in shock.
"Dual laws!"
Meisha, on the other hand, looked as if she had expected this and said with a hint of admiration, "No wonder."
"True Spirit Wizards who control dual laws have a far greater sensitivity and range of perception when it comes to law energy fluctuations compared to those who control a single law."
"In the Realm of Truth, dual-law Wizards like you can often sense law energy fluctuations much earlier than we can."
Morik and Ortiz exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with surprise.
The reason they had proactively suggested teaming up with Su Nan was originally to take on a mentorship role and build goodwill with this genius. They hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
Having a dual-law Wizard in the team would undoubtedly make searching for Law Nodes much easier.
More importantly, a True Spirit Wizard who controlled dual laws, even if they had just recently ascended, would not be weaker in combat than many True Spirit Wizards who had ascended hundreds or thousands of years ago.
At the very least, Morik and Ortiz weren't entirely confident they could defeat a newly ascended dual-law True Spirit Wizard.
At this moment, including Meisha, the three of them couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
To ascend to True Spirit Wizard in less than three thousand years was already remarkable, but to do so with dual laws, one of which was a rule-based law—this talent couldn't even be described as monstrous!
It was downright terrifying! Coming back to her senses, Meisha quickly asked, "Which direction?"
"Follow me."
Su Nan decisively flew in the direction where he had sensed the law energy.
Meisha and the other two quickly followed.
Before long, the three of them also sensed the law energy, and their faces lit up with joy.
"This feeling is unmistakable! It's a Law Node!"
"Haha, I didn't expect our luck to be this good. We've found something so quickly!"
"It's all thanks to Su Nan."
In their excitement, the group immediately picked up speed, and it didn't take long for them to reach the source of the law energy.
And Su Nan soon saw the true form of the Law Node.
Surprisingly, it was a sapling less than a meter tall.
Calling it a sapling wasn't entirely accurate. It only had the outline of a sapling, but its interior was filled with a starry, cosmic brilliance, as if a piece of the void had been embedded with a sapling-shaped constellation, exuding an aura of profundity and mystery.
With just one glance, Su Nan felt a stirring in his soul, and his understanding of the Law of Gravity and the Law of Thunder seemed to have improved slightly.
He quickly summoned his panel and saw that the energy levels of both the Law of Gravity and the Law of Thunder had increased.
The former had increased by 2.35 energy levels, while the latter had surged by 4.18 energy levels.
"The first time a True Spirit Wizard sees a Law Node up close, their understanding of the laws will improve slightly."
As if sensing Su Nan's delight, Meisha explained with a light laugh.
"There's such a benefit."
Su Nan marveled inwardly, feeling even more pleased.
It seemed the effects of the Law Node were even stronger than he had anticipated. Perhaps he could soon raise the Law of Gravity to 100 energy levels.
"Not bad, this Law Node is quite substantial," Ortiz said with a delighted smile. "It should last at least ten to twenty years, and it's more than enough to accommodate all four of us for cultivation."
The number of people a Law Node can accommodate simultaneously is limited, depending on its size.
The larger the Law Node, the more people it can accommodate at once.
If the number of people exceeds the Law Node's capacity, it will significantly shorten the Law Node's lifespan.
When True Spirit Wizards form a team and find a Temporary Law Node, they usually take turns cultivating.
Generally speaking, most Temporary Law Nodes can accommodate 2 to 3 people at a time.
A Law Node like the one before them could likely accommodate five or six people simultaneously.
"Let's not waste any time. We should set up a defensive array and start cultivating."
Morik's tone carried a hint of eagerness.
The four of them quickly got to work, setting up arrays around the area, mainly to conceal their life energy and law energy fluctuations, as well as for defense.
Of course, even True Spirit Wizards couldn't completely mask law energy fluctuations; they could only reduce them, shortening the distance at which others could sense them.
With four True Spirit Wizards working together, the arrays were soon completed.
During this process, Su Nan's proficiency and skill in array setup surprised Meisha and the other two.
Strictly speaking, array setup falls under the domain of magical item crafting. Both Meisha and Morik and Ortiz had been immersed in this field for at least thousands of years, which was why they had reached their current level of skill.
Yet Su Nan's skill level was no less than theirs, and even surpassed Meisha, who was relatively younger.
It was hard to imagine someone who could improve their strength so rapidly while also mastering magical item crafting to such an extent. It was truly astonishing.
Noticing the change in their expressions, Su Nan didn't offer any explanation.
Among his four skills, magical item crafting was the one he had practiced the most over the years.
Law gems, law cores, and the various facilities in Sky City had all provided him with a wealth of experience.
As a result, magical item crafting had become his highest-level skill, already at level 8 and approaching level 9, far ahead of his other skills.
Even among True Spirit Wizards, few could reach this level.
Before long, within a radius of one kilometer centered on the Law Node, large arrays were densely packed, suppressing the law energy fluctuations to their lowest point.
The life and soul energy of Su Nan and the other three were completely concealed.
They didn't bother setting up illusion arrays for visual concealment, as such measures were ineffective against True Spirit Wizards.
By the time a True Spirit Wizard could see the Law Node with their eyes, their perception would have already detected something unusual in the area.
In addition to the arrays, the four of them each took out over a dozen Supreme Golems to guard the perimeter.
Meisha even brought out an Arcane Guardian.
The Arcane Guardian looked somewhat similar to a Steel Golem, but its body was more slender and humanoid, with a silver body made of rare metals covered in intricate runes, exuding a sense of precision.
Su Nan couldn't help but take a closer look at the Arcane Guardian.
His own Sky City would undoubtedly use constructs as its ultimate combat force, and he was still undecided on which type to choose.
Among the various constructs, Arcane Guardians leaned toward close combat. Although they could also perform some ranged attacks, such as arcane cannons and long-range spells, they primarily used spells to enhance themselves and engage in melee combat.
Mithril Sages, on the other hand, were more focused on ranged combat, equipped with almost all common spells from zero to ninth level, as well as some niche spells depending on the creator. In combat, they could unleash a barrage of spells at their targets, effectively becoming an infinite-firepower spell turret as long as they had enough energy.
These two types of constructs, one for melee and one for ranged, complemented each other and could achieve a synergy greater than the sum of their parts, making them a popular choice for many Sky Cities.
As for Arcane Mechs, they could be designed for melee, ranged, or a balanced approach, depending on the creator's preferences.
Despite the word "mech" in their name, Arcane Mechs didn't have pilots; they were entirely controlled by the Tower Spirit housed within them.
Yes, a Tower Spirit! While other constructs used soul cores of varying levels, the core of an Arcane Mech was a Tower Spirit.
In essence, an Arcane Mech could be considered a miniaturized Wizard Tower.
Its combat power surpassed that of Arcane Guardians and Mithril Sages, but its cost was also significantly higher—primarily due to the Tower Spirit—making it less cost-effective and less popular among True Spirit Wizards.
However, this wasn't an issue for Su Nan.
With the Blood River Wraith providing a cheap source of soul crystals, the cost of synthesizing a Tower Spirit was far below market price for him, and the cost of creating an Arcane Mech was also lower than for other True Spirit Wizards.
Thus, the drawback of low cost-effectiveness didn't apply to him.
So, in his eyes, all three types of constructs had their pros and cons.
Seeing Su Nan's interest in the Arcane Guardian, Meisha smiled and said, "I heard you're also building your own Sky City? If you're interested in Arcane Guardians, I can give you a copy of my crafting notes later."
Su Nan smiled, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Morik and Ortiz, who were standing nearby, looked surprised.
Su Nan was already building his Sky City? Back when they had ascended to True Spirit Wizard, it had taken them over two thousand years to accumulate enough resources to build their own Sky Cities.
The two of them couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Su Nan's surprises just kept coming.
With the Arcane Guardian and over forty Supreme Golems guarding the perimeter, even if a god were to launch a surprise attack, they could hold them off long enough for the four of them to react.
With all preparations complete, the four of them finally sat down, each occupying one of the four cardinal directions around the Law Node, and began to meditate on the laws.
The moment Su Nan came into contact with the law essence, he understood why so many True Spirit Wizards were so eager for Law Nodes.
The active Law Power filled every inch of the surrounding space, dancing around him like energy particles on the Starlight Continent. With just a thought, Su Nan could easily resonate with the Law Power and engage in a deeper "conversation" with it.
Even in the Fallen Spirit Plane, he hadn't found it this easy to comprehend the Law of Gravity.
"This effect is almost on par with a divine spark!"
Su Nan marveled inwardly.
If he could cultivate in such an environment continuously, he was confident he could break through to the Manipulation level of the Law of Gravity within three hundred years at most! "Truly the holy land of True Spirit Wizards."
Su Nan cleared his mind and fully immersed himself in cultivation.
