Andre unfurled his Multiple Wings of the Wind and began flying through the Secret Realm. Unlike the Black and White Forest Secret Realm, this one was absurdly large.
Andre flew for more than ten minutes before he finished scouting out the situation in this Secret Realm.
Based on his flight speed, the Secret Realm was approximately five kilometers long and three and a half kilometers wide. It could be considered quite large for a Secret Realm.
But for Andre, the bigger the Secret Realm, the happier he was.
Because a larger Secret Realm meant more treasures, and more treasures meant a greater harvest for him.
Andre landed in the center of the Secret Realm. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the sealed treasures all around him, and he prepared to take them.
But when his hand touched one of the treasures, the Divine Array sealing it suddenly activated, generating countless bolts of golden lightning that knocked his hand back.
At the same time, a stream of information was transmitted into his mind through the golden lightning.
Andre hissed, rubbing his zapped right hand while he sifted through the information.
’It seems I can’t take these treasures unless I break through.’
Andre organized the information in his mind and looked at the small Divine Array sealing the treasure before him.
’After 3,000 years, I refuse to believe these Divine Arrays are as powerful as they once were.’
Looking at the Divine Array, Andre decided to give it a try anyway. He immediately began tracing a Witchcraft Curse Seal with both hands to cast Frostfire Blade.
His reasoning was simple. In the Black and White Forest Secret Realm, all those precious Divine Power Tools had turned to ash.
And in this Secret Realm, although the Magic Power was abundant, no one had maintained these Divine Arrays for 3,000 years. Under such circumstances, there ought to be flaws in them somewhere.
Soon, Andre unleashed the Frostfire Blade, sending it slashing toward the Divine Array before him. Sensing the external attack, the Divine Array instantly activated, beginning to gather power amidst crackling bolts of golden lightning.
Just as the Frostfire Blade was about to strike the Divine Array, a thick bolt of golden lightning instantly annihilated it!
’So it’s true. I really can’t get these treasures until I become an Official Wizard!’
Seeing the golden lightning annihilate his Frostfire Blade, Andre’s pupils constricted to pinpricks. The excited expression on his face vanished.
’This doesn’t align with my previous plan at all.’
Andre scratched his head as he looked at the Divine Arrays.
In his original plan, he was supposed to take everything from both Secret Realms, return to the Black and White Forest Secret Realm, and then make his breakthrough.
Making his breakthrough in the Black and White Forest Secret Realm would keep the major families from noticing the unusual phenomena it would cause.
He was walking the path of a Chaos Wizard, a path no one had ever walked before. It was only natural for some strange phenomena to occur.
But now, he had no choice but to break through in this Secret Realm.
If he were to return to the Black and White Forest Secret Realm to break through as planned, he would have to spend another 100,000 Medium Magic Stones to activate the Teleportation Array.
And that was just the first extra expense. On top of that, the Magic Power in the Black and White Forest Secret Realm was extremely scarce. To ensure a successful breakthrough, he would need even more Magic Stones to supply the necessary Magic Power.
Here in this Secret Realm, however, he would need far fewer Magic Stones.
’Even though there’s been a slight hitch, my goal in coming here was to break through in the first place. Breaking through a little earlier or a little later doesn’t make much difference.’
Andre took a deep breath and began taking things out of his Storage Ring, placing them on the ground.
Then, following the design in his mind, he arranged these items into a vast Witchcraft Array.
Once all the items were in place, Andre poured out a large quantity of Magic Stones and ground them into powder. He mixed the powder with the Demon-Imprisoning Water he had specifically purchased at the market, creating a Magic Ink to connect the various materials.
When the final component, the Haoyu Stone Ball, was linked to the other materials by the Magic Ink, the Witchcraft Array instantly erupted with a gray glow.
Subsequently, under the effect of the Witch Array, all the materials fused together, forming the Array of Origin Retrospection that Andre had previously designed in his mind.
’It’s a success.’ A flicker of excitement passed through Andre’s heart as he watched the Array of Origin Retrospection pulse with rays of gray light.
But he immediately suppressed that excitement. This only meant the Witchcraft Array was a success; it didn’t mean his Origin Technique was a success.
Only after he used the Origin Technique to activate the Array of Origin Retrospection before him could he prove that the Origin Technique he created was truly successful.
’Then let’s begin the verification.’
Andre stripped off his clothes. Holding the Rock Crystal, Earth Element Stone, Wind Howling Stone, and Water Element Stone, he walked to the core of the Witchcraft Array. He placed the four items into the specially reserved slots, then began to circulate his Origin Technique while also calling up the System.

Andre’s eyes widened as he looked at his current body stats.
He had only just undone the Chain of Hatred, but he never expected his stats to increase by so much.
’It seems the Chain of Hatred had previously been suppressing a large part of my power within my Bloodline.’
The reason for the sudden surge in his stats surfaced in Andre’s mind, but that wasn’t the most important thing right now. The most important thing was that it was time for him to break through and become an Official Wizard.
’First, I must create the Chaos Meditation Technique. And this step involves understanding the nature of Chaos itself.’
’In my previous life, human research into the cosmos theorized that the universe originated from a singularity of infinite mass that suddenly exploded. Eventually, the universe would compress and collapse back into that singularity. Then, after an immense span of time, it would explode again, forming a new universe, only to collapse once more into a singularity, repeating the process endlessly.’
’Meanwhile, in myths and fantasy literature, the world was created by creator gods like Pangu and Taishang. After countless years of development and undergoing immeasurable tribulations, the world would collapse, and everything would return to Chaos.’
’One ancient, one modern. Myth and science reflect one another.’
