Chapter 656 Sitting and talking
The Supreme Council, the Hall of Truth.
Only three months had passed since the last gathering, and several Void King wizards came here again.
"King of Black Flame, what is the matter that you summoned us here for?"
"Please be patient and wait for the others to arrive before we talk. The Ice Queen hasn't come yet."
Seeing Ivan say this, the others did not urge him. Nowadays, there are teleportation arrays in the wizarding world. Even if they are in other continents, thousands of miles away, they can quickly get back to the City of Truth without worrying about wasting time.
After a while, the Ice Queen arrived at the Supreme Council as promised.
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we sit down and discuss it?" Ivan said under the gaze of several people.
"What do you mean by discussing the Dao?" Several people were stunned when they heard this, and the King of All Trees couldn't help but ask.
"Before that, I have a few questions for you to answer." Ivan kept it a secret.
"But it doesn't matter."
"It is now the year 3209 in the Berta calendar. Wizards have gone through thousands of years. Considering various factors, tell me, have we reached a critical moment in our development?"
Ivan glanced at each of them one by one and asked seriously.
"You can say that."
"According to records, our wizards' fortunes have never been as prosperous as they are now. As time goes by, I have a strong feeling that if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to make further progress, I'm afraid there will be constant setbacks in the future."
After thinking for a few seconds, the King of Trees and the King of the Sky answered one after another.
The others nodded slightly. Although the wizarding world is calm now, there are still many hidden worries behind it, and no one knows when they will erupt.
"Since you agree with this, shouldn't we go all out?" Ivan asked again.
"It should be so." The others expressed their approval again.
"Should we be brave enough to break the rules?" Ivan asked.
"It can be considered." After hearing this, some people had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they did not directly object. "King of Black Flame, we are all family. If you have anything to say, just speak up."
"The main factors involved in the path of cultivation are nothing more than Dharma, companions, wealth and land. Dharma refers to the Dharma passed down; wealth refers to the resources for cultivation; land refers to a suitable place for cultivation; companions refer to all fellow practitioners.
We can learn from each other, support each other, exchange experiences, and exchange and give each other knowledge.
However, this wizard feels that what we are doing now is not enough."
In Ivan's opinion, the four words "law, companion, wealth and land" can also be used to summarize the current path of cultivation. For wizards like them who pursue knowledge and truth, companion occupies a large part in it.
"Why is it not enough?" The King of Trees asked subconsciously.
"This wizard feels that we can go a step further and show each other the power we have mastered to prove what we have mastered, just like this."
Now that things have come to this, Ivan is no longer vague.
He immediately revealed the power of space that he controlled. On one hand, he evolved it directly and clearly, and on the other hand, he continued to explain his own understanding, which already involved his core strength.
In the wizarding world, wizards follow the principles of knowledge having a price and equal exchange.
Even between a master and his apprentice, they would only exchange or give knowledge and give some pointers. It goes without saying that wizards and wizards would not display their power so openly and expose their secrets.
This is undoubtedly contrary to the behavior of wizards.
"Is this what you mean by 'discussing the Dao'?"
When he finished speaking, someone frowned, with a look of hesitation.
"Yes, that's what I thought. To be frank, we have now gathered the right time, right place, and right people. The right time means that our wizarding world has reached a critical moment in its development, the teleportation array brings the right place, and the relationship between us can be considered as the right people.
There is no better time than now to discuss the Dao. As wizards, we can also study some things together, such as the copper furnace with firewood.
If necessary, we can let the people below come in and listen. Of course, this requires us to negotiate in advance."
Ivan didn't care what they thought and just expressed his opinion.
Afterwards, he said nothing more and waited there quietly, allowing others to weigh the pros and cons. He could also understand their concerns, after all, this was something that went against wizard tradition.
He had not discussed this privately with anyone beforehand.
In the Hall of Truth, after he finished speaking, the other five Void King wizards looked at each other several times, frowning, and were slow to reach a conclusion.
"I am the weakest here. If there is any opportunity to take advantage of me, I will not pretend to be hypocritical. I agree with the proposal of the King of Black Flame."
After a long pause, the Green Dragon King Hati Xia Luoxi spoke first.
"I second the motion."
"Seconded."
Next came the Dragon Flame King, and the Ice Queen.
Seeing this, the King of Trees looked at the King of the Sky again and nodded slowly.
"Then let's give it a try. The six of us will sit down and discuss the Dao in the inner hall of the Temple of Truth."
As the number one in the wizarding world, the King of the Sky naturally has to shoulder more responsibilities and consider more things. After weighing things for a long time, he finally expressed his thoughts.
Hearing this, the other five people nodded slightly.
Most wizards are decisive and swift, and after reaching a consensus, the six Void King wizards went back to summarize what they had learned and what they wanted to show, and began their first discussion half a month later.
As the initiator, Ivan was the first person to demonstrate his strength. He mainly demonstrated the ways of space and life that he was good at.
In fact, this was not the first time he had done this. He had discussed power with Jenny and Locke many times before and was very familiar with various matters.
While he was preaching, the others nodded frequently with sparkling eyes.
"Second, I mainly want to discuss with you wizards the three powers of wind, thunder and soul." After he stopped preaching, the King of the Sky stood up.
Wizards all practice the way of the soul. Due to differences in cognition, there are deviations in the soul power they control.
After the King of the Sky finished his presentation, the others did not take it lightly and implemented it very seriously.
For a moment, everyone forgot about everything else, and put their minds completely into comprehending the power. It was not until everyone had finished displaying their power that they came back to their senses for a long time.
"I never thought that two months have passed."
"When is the next time?"
When everyone came to their senses, they found that more than two months had passed.
There is no doubt that everyone benefited greatly from this discussion, and the King of Dragon Flame even directly asked what he was looking forward to.
"I came here in a hurry this time, and it's my first time here, so I still have a lot of things to share with you." Seeing other people's eyes looking at him, the King of Dragon Flame said directly.
"How about a year from now?"
"Row."
Facts have proven that discussing the Dao is a good way to improve strength, and the effect is obvious. No one is opposed to it anymore, and some are even eager to try it. A year later, the six people secretly held their second discussion.
This time, they also joined in an in-depth exploration of the things under their opponent's control, mainly including the clan's treasures such as the Fire Copper Furnace, the Wisdom Spring, the Thunder Pool, the Nine-Layered Qingfeng Tower, and the wizard's supreme formation - the Wizard King's Multi-Phase Formation.
The six people have been through a series of things in the past and have a special relationship. When they discuss the Dao, they sincerely show each other what they have, and the effect can be imagined.
When ascending the Qing Cang throne, the King of the Sky said that it would only take three years to prepare.
As a result, the matter of discussing the Dao came up. He kept postponing the time and prepared for a full ten years before he said goodbye to everyone and began to retreat in order to attack the realm of the throne.
"Five initiates, the wizarding world is entrusted to you."
"Galifur, don't worry about anything else. May you ascend the throne soon."
The location chosen by the King of the Sky was his own Golden Rock Tower. Except for a few Void Kings who came to witness it for him, the other wizards knew nothing about it.
"When will the fifth Dao Conference be held?"
"We've communicated so many times, it's time to slow down a bit, maybe even wait until five years later."
"That makes sense."
Every time they discussed the Dao, they gained something different, and the strength of the Void King wizards increased.
However, it takes time to digest what they have learned from each other. If the Black Flame King was not about to enter the critical moment of his ascension to the throne, they would have waited a longer time before starting their next discussion.
……
Over the years, Ivan's soul energy has long been raised to the limit of the Void King, reaching the point where there is no further improvement. What he has strengthened is his foundation in other aspects.
Just as he was exploring his path to the throne day and night, he unexpectedly received an invitation.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the appointment.
On this day, he and Jenny came to the first underground level through the teleportation array. The teleportation array here was located in Suzaku Valley, which was also the human settlement he led the team to open up.
"Who's here?"
"There are quite a few people, both at the Lord level and Ancient King level, and stronger people have not appeared yet."
The two did not stay in Suzaku Valley and hurried deeper underground.
This was actually a gathering of the Mother Earth's lineage. Ivan didn't know why the other party invited him. This had never happened in previous years.
Jenny didn't know the reason, she only knew that it was the order of the Night Goddess Lilibet.
The Dark Night Mother Goddess holds a very important position in the Earth's core and has helped Jenny countless times, so it was difficult for Ivan to refuse this inexplicable invitation.
So, the two of them came here.
Under Jenny's guidance, the two traveled all the way and soon arrived at a special place.
"Teleport?"
"Travel through the medium of earth power."
In the secret valley, Jenny performed a kind of teleportation that was different from the teleportation array. The light of the earth spread out and enveloped the two of them, and then the figure disappeared on the spot.
Earth Shuttle is more like a kind of underground escape, but it can also cross many spaces. This is obviously the work left by a powerful person from the earth's core.
A moment later, the two flew out from the dim passage, and when they looked again, they had arrived at another place.
This is a place similar to a secret realm. Ivan's first impression was that the magnetism and gravity were extraordinary. The surroundings were very empty, with only a mountain in the center supporting the top. Pavilions and palaces could be seen halfway up the mountain.
That was the place of the gathering.
When they got closer, they found that the buildings on the mountainside were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Under the cold light, they appeared to have distinct layers.
"The upper, middle and lower parts correspond to the lord, ancient king and throne respectively. I will go to the middle hall and wait. The Mother Goddess of Darkness will summon us when the time comes." Jenny said.
"You are more familiar with this than me. I'll listen to you here," Ivan said.
The buildings halfway up the mountain are actually built around the mountain. The upper, middle and lower floors are not connected to each other, but the distance in the middle is relatively short. From a distance, they look like stacked buildings.
As Jenny said before, there were quite a few people who arrived early.
Ivan only took a cursory glance and saw the figures of hundreds of lords. This shows that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Earth Core lineage is not as big as it was at its peak, it is still not comparable to ordinary races.
Afterwards, the two of them landed in a palace in the middle. The palace was spacious, more like an indoor venue. There were more than a dozen figures inside, many of whom retained their original appearance.
"The King of Gun Pan, he is the human wizard you are friends with, why did you bring him here?"
The arrival of the two people caused many people to be unhappy, mainly because of the appearance of Ivan, an outsider. Among them, Grace, the King of Fire Blue, came forward and asked questions that everyone else was concerned about.
"Lady Lilibet ordered me to do that," Jenny answered truthfully.
"It's what the Mother Goddess of Darkness told you to do. Then there's no problem. Welcome to Lonely Mountain Residence, human wizard." Grace said with a smile.
The King of Gun Pan is Jenny's ancient royal title. By the time Ivan knew about it, the title had already been announced, and no one knew who proposed it.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the others withdrew their gazes and stopped paying attention to this side, and began to communicate in low voices.
"Hello, I heard Jenny mention you." Ivan said politely. He had indeed heard Jenny mention that the Fire Blue King in front of him controlled the power of both ice and fire.
Jenny and Grace are friends.
The two of them were talking happily, and Ivan did not join in. As for the other creatures who could cultivate to the level of ancient king, none of them liked to make a lot of noise or cause trouble.
Ivan was happy to have some free time.
Soon, he sensed that several people with strong auras had come up, and among them there was a familiar aura, and it turned out to be an old friend.
"Wizard Ivan, Lady Lilibet asked us to go up."
About half an hour later, Jenny received a message from the Dark Night Mother.
The two did not dare to delay and instead flew higher. The higher they went around the mountain, the stronger the magnetic and gravitational pressure became, which did not pose a problem for them.
The top layer looks like a palace, pavilions and gardens.
The two followed the instructions and landed on a flower-filled square in the middle.
"Wizard Ivan, here, here, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much."
Before the two of them got close, they heard someone greeting them enthusiastically. This person looked like a common tree man, with an extraordinary aura. It was none other than Meg, the Azure Throne that had just been announced to the world not long ago.
Judging from her attitude, Meg was still as familiar as ever, which made Ivan a little flattered.
In addition to Meg, there are five people above the throne here, including the familiar goddess of the night, Lilibet, and the sea mother Bramble, who he has heard Jenny mention many times.
As Meg spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Ivan, and the pressure on Ivan doubled.
The foundation of the Earth's core is really strong. (End of this chapter)
