Backed by a powerful world and civilization, sometimes it is just so blissful.
Relying on the prestige of the wizard world, Sain, who was not even a first-level being, actually engaged in communication with a fourth-level being.
The reason the other party gave Sain face was entirely due to the powerful wizard world.
However...
"To make contact with a Saint Tower Master and introduce it to him?" After leaving the Sand Valley, Sain turned to look back at the Sand Valley, thinking to himself.
"It seems this big worm doesn't understand the internal situation of the wizard world, nor does it know about the antagonistic relationship between Dark Mages and normal Saint Tower Mages."
"Not to mention that I don't have the ability to help it, even if I did, I would contact the Dark Mages within the academy."
"I wonder what the mentor or the dean thinks of this big guy." Sain thought.
...
After leaving the Sand Valley, Sain followed the directions given by the Sand Worm King, using the three suns in the sky as a guide, and headed in a certain direction of the vast sand sea.
It seemed that the sandstorm over a year ago had carried Sain quite far, or it could be due to the geological migration of the quicksand environment.
Even with the approximate direction provided by the Sand Worm King, Sain estimated it would take him two months to reach the coordinates for communication with the wizard world.
In fact, Sain spent more time than expected.
It wasn't until half a year later, after continuously advancing and exploring in the yellow sand, that Sain finally sensed some movement in the black handle he was holding.
At this moment, the scene displayed in the crystal ball in Sain's hand was a flat desert, no different from other regions of the yellow sand world.
Over a year ago, there were still many tents and some alchemical devices whose exact purposes Sain could not figure out.
But after over a year, the yellow sand had completely buried everything.
If it weren't for the movement in the black handle, Sain wouldn't have believed that this was the area where the spatial passage once existed.
"It seems the broken spatial passage has completely vanished. I wonder why the mentor and the dean haven't reconstructed the passage over the past year?"
"Could something have gone wrong? There were indeed many Saint Tower Mages on the other side of the passage at the time..." Sain murmured, holding the crystal ball.
There was a clear crack on the surface of the crystal ball in Sain's hand.
It had broken a year ago and was only repaired by Sain three months ago by chance.
Many of the equipment Sain had, like the crystal ball, were in similar conditions.
For example, the earth element shield ring and the invisibility cloak.
During the two years in the yellow sand world, most of the magical equipment in Sain's possession had been damaged to varying degrees.
The only item that remained intact was Lina's black crystal bracelet.
In the past year, Sain had figured out the general purpose of the black crystal bracelet. Besides increasing the dark element magic recovery by 30%, the bracelet also had a built-in "Gloom Light."
The Gloom Light could be used for both offense and defense.
In offensive form, it released a beam of dark energy with enough power to threaten a high-level apprentice.
In defensive form, it transformed into a dark energy shield.
Previously, Sain had survived the sandstorm by luck, thanks to the earth element shield and the叠加 protection of the dark energy shield.
After taking stock of the items he carried, Sain, who no longer had any attachment to the yellow sand world, activated the elemental orb in his hand and infused it with magic.
The familiar spatial traction effect reappeared, but this time it was more crude and rigid.
Sain didn't know what this meant, but he had no choice.
As the spatial traction force completely enveloped Sain, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "If the traction fails, what would be the result? Would I die directly?"
Strangely, when the word "death" appeared in Sain's mind, he felt no fear or cowardice.
Instead, he felt a strange sense of relief.
Perhaps Sain had long harbored the thought of death, which had emerged when he couldn't find a way back to the wizard world in the yellow sand world and decided to冒险 explore the underground sand caves.
The immense spatial tearing force made Sain's consciousness instantly darken.
In the yellow sand world, the black figure holding the handle on the endless yellow sand disappeared.
...
When Sain regained consciousness, he was surrounded by darkness that stretched as far as the eye could see.
This darkness did not make Sain feel fear; instead, it gave him a genuine sense of comfort and ease.
This was the Shadowland, this was the wizard world, this was his home plane and home.
Any being who had been away from their home plane for a considerable amount of time would clearly feel the difference between the home plane and the foreign plane when they returned.
It was like an infant returning to its mother's embrace, or a wanderer returning home.
This sense of comfort and ease was something no foreign plane could provide.
Generally, only mages of the first level or higher could truly feel the difference between the home plane and the foreign plane.
This was because only beings of the first level or higher could meet the recruitment standards of the various Saint Towers and Knight Halls during the Planar Wars.
Including the many enslaved planes under the rule of the wizard civilization and the many affiliated planes of the Wizard Alliance, only those who had reached the formal mage level would be allowed to travel.
As for apprentices who began exploring foreign planes, they were few and far between.
Sain had inadvertently achieved an experience that over 99% of the apprentices in the wizard world had never experienced.
Moreover, because he had stayed in the foreign plane for a long time and was deeply influenced by the foreign plane's environment and aura, his insights and discoveries about the differences between the home plane and the foreign plane were far more profound than those of his senior apprentice Zorro and others.
The cracked crystal ball quietly appeared in Sain's hand.
In the dark environment, with the help of the faint glow emitted by the crystal ball, Sain clearly saw the specific values.
Mental Power: 52
Magic: 47
Constitution: 16
Sain had spent over three years studying under his mentor Mosido, and his mental power had only increased by 8 points.
Now, after two years of trials in the yellow sand world, his mental power had increased by 14 points in one go.
Not only did he surpass the mental power threshold for a high-level apprentice, but he even exceeded it.
As soon as Sain learned and mastered the spell model of a high-level magic, he would be a genuine high-level apprentice!
"Before I left the yellow sand world, I also used the crystal ball to test my values."
"At that time, they weren't so exaggerated, with mental power and magic both around 45 points. How did they increase so much all at once?"
"Is it because I returned to the wizard world?" Sain stroked his bearded chin, thinking to himself.
