Rise of the Dark Witch

Roja left the training chamber and came to the location of the third-level promotion ceremony.

Deep underground in the Holy Roman Empire.

Roja stood on the edge of a deep well several kilometers in diameter.

He lowered his head and looked into the depths of the deep well. The walls around the well were covered with thick vines, with buds growing out of them.

These beautiful-looking huge flower buds are like coffins, with people sleeping one after another inside.

Like Sleeping Beauty, these people are still breathing and heartbeating, and are still alive.

As soon as the curse that puts them to sleep is lifted, they will wake up immediately.

How many flower buds are there growing on the walls of the well?

one thousand? Ten thousand? million?

One hundred million?

One billion?

Too many!

Dodeloa doesn’t even want to count!

These are the advanced materials that Gloria prepared for Roja.

"Although I said the more the better..."

"Is she a little too prepared?"

"But it seems that many people inside are not from our Holy Luo Empire, so they just turn a blind eye."

Roja leaned forward.

His body suddenly fell towards the deep well.

"call--"

Not long after, he was free falling into the center of the deep well.

He was suspended in the center of the deep well, observing the surroundings calmly. He was conducting the final inspection of the third-level advancement ceremony.

With hundreds of millions of advanced materials, the wood divine crystals obtained from the four-color arena, and the original power of the nightmare world collected from the nightmare world...

There is also a third-level advancement ceremony arranged by Roja himself.

The preparations for this third-level promotion ceremony are perfect!

Not to mention a wizard like Roja who is already at the top of the second level, even if you randomly bring in a second level wizard, there is a high probability that the other person will become a third level wizard.

After carefully checking the entire ceremony from beginning to end with the help of the Two Souls Certificate, Roja smiled and nodded.

There is no problem!

The probability of entering the third level is 100%!

However, Roja did not act immediately.

Because he was thinking.

"Do you want to decorate the Shile Barrier?"

With the help of the power of Shile Barrier, the flow rate of time can be modified in a small range.

He now has the ability to arrange twelve layers of Shile Barrier. One year outside is equivalent to twelve years inside.

Advancing to the third level is a very dangerous and time-consuming matter, and may take decades.

But if he uses Shile Barrier, it will only take him a few years to become a third-level wizard, which can save a lot of time.

Since mastering the Shile Barrier, he has used the power of the Shile Barrier as much as possible in his cultivation, study, research, etc.

Even though he is only in his early 200s now, due to the Shile Barrier, he has actually spent more than 500 years in real time.

Others thought he was a two-hundred-year-old genius.

In fact, it took him five hundred years to achieve what he has achieved today.

As for whether to arrange Shile Barrier in the third-level advancement ceremony, Roja thought deeply about it and finally gave up.

"The third-level advancement ceremony is too important, and there must not be any mistakes."

"What should I do if the fluctuations released during the advancement destroy the Shile Barrier, and this change affects my ability to become a third-level wizard?"

"It's tempting to be able to turn decades into just a few years, but it's not something you can risk."

After making the decision, Roja slowly closed his eyes.

When his vision fell into darkness, the third-level advancement ceremony was started!

"boom--"

Like a volcano erupting, the hot and surging magic power flows along the established magic power channel, and the silent formation slowly starts to move with the injection of magic power.

An unimaginably huge amount of terrifying power attacks Roja from all directions. It is an absolute force that can easily kill even someone as powerful as Roja!

"call--"

Under this overwhelming and irresistible force, as if time had stood still, Roja's body and spirit froze. At this time, in addition to his consciousness and ability to think, he could not even move a single cell in his body.

Under the influence of this force, Roja's body and spirit began to separate.

Not long after, his body and spirit were suspended in the deep well, thousands of meters apart.

Although the body and mind have been separated, the connection between body and mind has not been severed. It can be said that it is much closer than ever before.

At this time.

call out!

A beam of light with a diameter of microns suddenly shot from a distance and accurately hit a certain cell in Luo Ya's body.

call out! call out! call out! ——

These micron-level lights continued to appear and increase, and each ray of light accurately hit a cell in Luo Ya's body.

How many cells does the human body have?

The total number of cells in the average human body is about 50 trillion.

As for Roya?

Even though his appearance is the same as that of ordinary people, in fact, his body structure, number of bones, muscle arrangement, genetic sequence... are all very different from ordinary people!

He cannot be said to be a human being at all!

Of course, the total number of cells in his body is also different from ordinary people.

His cell number is tens of thousands of times that of ordinary people!

The total number of cells in an ordinary person is about 50 trillion, and his total number of cells exceeds 500 trillion!

Ever since——

Five hundred thousand trillion rays of light emitted from a distance, and each ray of light was closely connected to a cell in Luo Ya's body.

When all the cells in his body, which number more than 500,000 trillion, have a ray of light, the power fluctuations from the wood-type divine crystal are injected into the cells along these rays.

These lights are like nutrient transmission tubes, constantly injecting nutrients into cells, making them stronger.

"Gulu, Gulu, Gulu——"

These cells frantically devour the nutrients they get from the light, and then continue to grow.

After receiving sufficient nutrients, micron-level cells continued to expand and grow, and eventually each cell reached the size of gravel.

As for Roja's body, it was completely dehumanized and turned into an ugly piece of flesh composed of half a trillion cells the size of gravel.

When the cells in Roya's body had reached their peak strength, the nutrition from the light still did not stop.

It’s just that the nutrients before were used to strengthen the cells themselves.

And this time the nutrition is used to strengthen the consciousness and spirit of the cells!

As long as it is alive, it has its own consciousness and spirit, and cells are no exception.

Why don’t people usually feel the consciousness of cells?

Because the consciousness of a single cell is too weak!

When the weak consciousness of billions of cells comes together, it forms human consciousness itself.

The human body is made of cells.

Human consciousness is composed of the consciousness of cells.

so--

If you want to make your body stronger, don't you just need to exercise your cells to make your body stronger?

If you want to make your spirit stronger, wouldn't it be better if you just exercise your cells and make your spirit strong?

The reason is so simple.

It’s just too difficult to implement.

If you want to accurately enhance every cell, especially the spirit of every cell, it stands to reason that this is something that is simply impossible!

Mortals can't do it.

But God can!

As the spirit of each cell continues to increase, these mental powers are fed back to Roja's spiritual body.

Although even after enhancement, the mental power emitted by a single cell is still very weak.

But no matter how weak the mental power is, when the intensity of this mental power is multiplied by 500,000 trillion times, it will become an immeasurable terrifying force!

"Click, click, click——"

Roja's mental body made a "click" sound.

These sounds are not the sounds of the spiritual body being broken, but the sounds of the spiritual space being opened up!

When Roja was still a wizard apprentice, he used secret methods to exercise his spine and heart, and obtained the second and third brains of the human body, thus successfully opening up the second and third spiritual spaces.

He became a wizard with three spiritual dimensions.

Having three spiritual spaces brought great benefits to his wizarding career.

The issue is--

Will this advantage continue?

Are there only three spiritual spaces that a wizard can have?

Since the second and third brains are awakened by exercising the spine and heart, why can't the fourth brain be obtained by exercising the arms? Exercise your toes to get your fifth brain?

If every cell is tempered...

Can every cell correspondingly open up a spiritual space?

Just like the human body is made up of countless cells.

A person's spiritual space corresponds one-to-one with the cells in the body!

How many cells a person has, theoretically, how much spiritual space can he have!

The spiritual space that was once opened up is composed of countless extremely small small spiritual spaces that cannot be sensed!

The mental space possessed by wizard apprentices, first-level wizards and second-level wizards is only a small part of the total mental space of the human body!

After Roja exercised every cell in his body through the third-level promotion ceremony——

Spiritual spaces that had not been opened up before were opened one by one.

The three spiritual spaces that Roja was proud of back then have now merged into one, and they are constantly expanding until they have expanded dozens of times!

And Roja's mental power suddenly increased from 20 million units at the beginning to 500 million units!

Let every cell in the body awaken, open up a spiritual space, and tap out the full potential of the spirit. At this point, the third-level promotion ceremony is already halfway completed.

Most level 2 wizards can reach this step.

The really tough part is the latter part!

Five hundred thousand trillion cells of consciousness arrived in Roja's spiritual space and reached the core of Roja's consciousness.

Human consciousness is affected by the body.

Lack of nutrients in the body will produce a sense of hunger, making people want to eat.

When the body faces danger, it will produce a sense of fear, making people want to avoid danger.

These consciousnesses from the body are called -

instinct.

Instinct exists in all living things.

Some creatures even act solely on instinct throughout their lives.

Having instincts is a good thing, but what if they are too powerful?

I was hungry, so I ate like crazy and couldn't stop at all. I kept eating until my stomach was bursting.

He was tired and wanted to sleep, so he slept day and night without eating or drinking. Eventually, he became weak and died.

Is this a good thing?

As the consciousness of every cell in the body is amplified tens of thousands of times, the body's instincts are also amplified tens of thousands of times.

Gluttony, reproduction, sloth, killing——

Huge instinctive consciousness filled Roja's mind, trying to overwhelm his will and turn him into a monster that only acts on instinct!

"Next, I just need to integrate all the cell consciousnesses and make these cell consciousnesses work for me. Will I become a true third-level wizard?"

Human consciousness is born out of the body and transcends the body.

Cellular consciousness is an important part of human will, but it is not all.

The projection of consciousness from the soul is the real core!

The core of consciousness that comes from the soul is called the Atman, or Self.

As long as you stick to your true self and make your true self strong enough to suppress and dominate all cellular consciousness, you can become a third-level wizard.

This process of strengthening the self is extremely long and arduous. If you are not careful, you will be overwhelmed by the huge cellular consciousness and become a slave of instinct, resulting in failure to reach the third level.

More than ninety-nine percent of second-level wizards failed at this level.

It is unrealistic to rely on personal will to resist the erosion of cellular consciousness that has expanded tens of thousands of times.

Because there is a limit to human will.

No matter how strong-willed a person is, there are still limits.

After all, this world is not idealistic.

Therefore, when every second-level wizard reaches the third-level realm, he needs to arrange a third-level advancement ceremony.

Using rituals to strengthen cellular consciousness is only one of them. The real function is to protect the self so that the self will not collapse before it is strong enough to command all cellular consciousnesses.

Roja's spiritual body seemed to be composed of countless insects.

These "spiritual bugs" are constantly squirming and growing, constantly trying to devour other "spiritual bugs" to make themselves the strongest existence.

These "spiritual bugs" are the projection of cellular consciousness on the spiritual body.

In Roja's spiritual body, deep within the 500,000 trillion squirming "spiritual bugs", there is a translucent shadow that is somewhat similar to Roja himself and looks extremely fragile.

Under the attack of 500,000 trillion "spiritual bugs", this fragile translucent shadow may be swallowed up at any time.

This is Roja’s true self!

Facing the offensive of 500,000 trillion "spiritual bugs", an invisible force from the outside protected me.

"Silk, silk, silk——"

Threads of spiritual power emanate from the self and stretch out to the surrounding "spiritual bugs".

Every time you successfully control a "spiritual bug", your self will become more solid.

It's just that if you want to successfully control 500,000 trillion "spiritual bugs", it will take you until the year of the monkey!

The speed at which the ego becomes stronger cannot keep up with the speed at which it collapses!

suddenly!

A mysterious force emerges that can reach the deepest part of the spirit.

This is the power of divine thoughts refined from sacrifices!

In addition, there is also the original power of the nightmare world that he obtained from the nightmare world!

After absorbing the power of divine thoughts and the original power of the nightmare world, my original self has been greatly enhanced, and the speed of controlling "spiritual bugs" suddenly soared!

Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million...

One hundred million, one billion, ten billion...

Time passes slowly.

The white horse passes through the gap.

Thirty years passed by in the blink of an eye.

Roja's spirit and body, which had been separated before due to the third-level advancement ceremony, were reunited into one.

The ugly pieces of flesh suspended in the center of the deep well were constantly squirming.

The cells that had become as big as gravel due to the third-level advancement ceremony gradually returned to their original size, and the ugly squirming pieces of flesh also changed back to their human form.

"Yeah——"

The third level advancement ceremony has ended.

Roja has stepped into the third level from the second level wizard thirty years ago.

But he didn't open his eyes immediately.

He was feeling changes in his body and mind.

"Because of the original power of the nightmare world, did your mental strength suddenly reach the third level?"

"Generally speaking, the mental power of the third-level primary level only has a few hundred million units, and the mental power of the third-level peak can reach about 2 billion units."

"My words are-"

"Fifty-three billion units?"

"not bad."

Before the third level, Roja had opened up three spiritual spaces and pre-appropriated some third-level power. The amount of mental power was three times that of other wizards of the same level.

When everyone reached the third level, his mental power should not be much stronger than other third level wizards.

But because he broke through with the help of the original power of the nightmare world, other level three wizards only have a maximum of 2 billion units of mental power, but he actually has up to 5.3 billion units!

“Is this the benefit of having resources?”

"But I know that there are definitely many wizards in this world who have more and better resources than me. My 5.3 billion units of mental power may be able to crush mediocre people like Wizard Mora and Wizard He, but compared to the real The top geniuses may even be inferior."

The three realms of level three, level four, and level five are known as the trilogy of ascending to the gods.

At the third level, the spirit of the devil is awakened.

At the fourth level, you gain the power of the devil.

The fourth level realm opens up the realm of the devil.

Now that he has entered the third level, Roja has awakened the spirit of the devil, and his mental power has suddenly increased hundreds of times compared to the second level!

Not only has the quantity increased hundreds of times, but the quality has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The spiritual power of a third-level wizard can also be called the power of divine thoughts, a power that can only be possessed by demon gods!

call out.

A weak spiritual power surged out of Roja's body.

Following Roja's order, this ray of spiritual power was like a clingy pet, constantly hovering around Roja.

These mental powers with self-awareness are called the power of divine thoughts!

The previous mental power was like an army of slaves who could only follow orders and had no self-thinking.

The upgraded mental power is equivalent to an army composed of every college student who has received a modern militarized university education.

The combat effectiveness of the two is very different.

There's a world of difference in what the two can do.

For the same unit of mental power, the power of divine thoughts may not have much advantage over ordinary mental power.

When the amount of mental power increases to 10,000 units, the power of divine thoughts can defeat even one million units of ordinary mental power!

"In the past, mental power was the most difficult thing to cultivate. After reaching the third level, it will increase hundreds of times. It's really an exaggeration!"

"As for physical fitness and magic power, compared with the mental power that has increased hundreds of times, the enhancement is relatively limited."

When Roja was still in the second level, he had 80 billion units of magic power that could crush all second level wizards.

After he became a third-level wizard, his magical power directly increased a lot based on the original level.

It has soared from 80 billion units to 400 billion units.

It doubled directly five times! (End of chapter)
