ntor Clark gestured for him to step toward the sand table, his hand lightly stirring the floating rune images.
He pointed, and a glowing triangle instantly appeared at the center of the sand table, representing the rune about to be constructed.
“What you need to do is select, from the sorcery models you’ve already mastered, the runes that can connect to the energy ports of this core rune.”
ntor Clark’s tone was solemn: “As long as you combine these runes with the core rune, you can construct a brand-new, complete sorcery model in your ntal sea.”
Under Clark’s guidance, several differently shaped figures appeared on the sand table.
Following Clark’s instructions, three figures with inner angles perfectly aligned with the earlier triangle, forming a complete circle.
“That simple?”
Jie Ming could hardly believe it, especially since he had personally constructed sorcery models before.
He rembered how much effort it took to build his first sorcery model.
“Just pick runes from existing sorcery models?”
The wizard civilization had discovered over a thousand basic runes, and beyond that, the number of specialized runes, evolved through wizards’ modifications, could easily exceed tens of billions.
Fortunately, most specialized runes were used as core runes, keeping the difficulty of constructing sorcery models from becoming too outrageous.
A sorcery model was essentially composed of a few core runes paired with a varying number of basic runes.
Take Jie Ming’s Alchemy Technique, for example: its core consisted of the three foundational runes of the alchemy system, combined with a hundred other basic runes, forming a complex three-dinsional model in his ntal sea.
The core rune was the energy core of the sorcery, while the basic runes served as the pathways and nodes for energy flow.
It sounded like constructing a sorcery model was no different from assembling a puzzle—simply connecting the energy ports of runes together to form a spell.
But in reality, without understanding the inner aning of each rune and the operational principles of the sorcery, a haphazardly assembled rune model was likely to be useless.
As Clark described, the number of basic runes needed could be significantly reduced.
And from what his ntor implied, it seed there was no need to overthink; as long as the energy ports matched, a sorcery model could be ford.
“Simple?” Clark gave him a half-smile. “If you only look at the process of constructing the ntal sea model, it might seem that way. But the entire process of building a sorcery is far from simple. You’ve already overco the hardest part, though. What cos next is just a matter of course.”
Clark, unusually cryptic, didn’t directly address the question, leaving Jie Ming to return to the Golden Garden in confusion.
…
…
Ti passed, and in less than a month, the humming of the Ring of Truth deep within Jie Ming’s ntal sea reached its peak.
Finally, at a mont of intense ntal focus, a resonant “hum” sounded, and the Ring of Truth fell silent.
The core rune, containing the mysteries of the new sorcery, was fully born at the center of the Ring of Truth.
It didn’t appear out of nowhere but rather coalesced gradually, as if woven from the void.
When it fully materialized, all the sorcery models in Jie Ming’s ntal sea trembled.
Jie Ming imrsed his consciousness in his ntal sea, approaching the core rune as a ntal entity to observe it closely.
It radiated an indescribable, profound light, its internal structure intricate and exquisite. Every line, every turn, seed to hold infinite aning.
Yet, as Jie Ming analyzed it deeply, he realized the structure wasn’t unfamiliar.
The new rune was primarily built on the foundational runes of wizard runology, “Resonance” and “Link,” which were cornerstones repeatedly studied and used by apprentice wizards.
Their patterns were clear and ford the main frawork of the core rune.
On top of this frawork were elents of the alchemy runes “Transformation” and “Fusion,” concepts Jie Ming frequently encountered in his studies of alchemy, particularly in the transformation and fusion of elents and materials.
This newborn core rune was a specialized rune—not a standard rune from any universal sorcery system but a unique one, existing for a specific purpose.
The mont Jie Ming saw it, he understood its internal composition.
He not only knew the aning and content of each part of the rune but also the consequences of such a complex structure, the energy cycles it could produce, and its effects.
Why?
Because these were all knowledge he had studied!
This core rune wasn’t created from nothing—it was a culmination of Jie Ming’s knowledge!
His recent imrsion in diverse fields—divine faith networks, physical body refinent, and rune-infused artifact fusion—had interwoven and collided in his ntal sea, blending seemingly unrelated knowledge.
The Ring of Truth had silently operated in the “background,” mobilizing his subconscious to organize these scattered yet interconnected pieces of knowledge in the most rational and effective way, manifesting them as this specialized rune.
In other words, if Jie Ming had needed to, he could have created this specialized rune from scratch.
The Ring of Truth had rely completed the massive “assembly” work, materializing his buried knowledge.
This realization made Jie Ming understand more clearly that a wizard’s power ultimately stemd from their mastery and application of knowledge.
Knowing everything about this specialized rune made constructing a sorcery model with it as the core effortless.
Jie Ming’s consciousness in his ntal sea casually waved, and his surging ntal energy instantly condensed the many sorcery runes he had mastered.
Under his will, these runes, like obedient spirits, slowly and orderly gathered around the specialized core rune.
Fully understanding the rune’s internal structure and principles, Jie Ming seed to have a blueprint in mind, precisely placing each rune in its proper position.
The energy ports sought each other, emitting faint hums before connecting perfectly.
The entire process was smooth and swift, without any hesitation or deviation.
Just as Clark had said, it was remarkably simple.
The ordinary runes extended like branches toward the core rune, absorbing its light and weaving together into a precise rune network.
Finally, when all the runes were perfectly connected, a brand-new sorcery model took shape in his ntal sea.
It resonated with the surrounding sorcery models yet emitted a distinctly unique aura.
With the new sorcery model born, the next step was to confirm its effects and na.
This wasn’t sothing Jie Ming needed to worry about. The wizard world, developed over countless years, had records of nearly every specialized rune.
Finding an unrecorded specialized rune was nearly impossible.
Jie Ming uploaded the structure and energy fluctuations of this specialized core rune to the magical network of Noren Workshop. Soon, he retrieved information about it and the sorcery it ford from the vast knowledge database.
“The All-Purpose Eye.”
That was the na of the specialized rune and the sorcery it ford.
The All-Purpose Eye was an auxiliary sorcery with a simple yet direct effect.
As its na suggested, it granted the user a wide range of special visions.
Jie Ming imdiately began testing the newborn sorcery.
He channeled a thread of ntal energy into the sorcery model of the All-Purpose Eye.
Instantly, his eyes underwent a peculiar change.
It wasn’t a physical transformation but a shift in how he perceived the world.
From Jie Ming’s experience, using this sorcery allowed him to directly observe heat, electromagnetic waves, gravitational fields, infrared and ultraviolet light, scent distribution, energy radiation, elental states, life force fluctuations, soul fluctuations, the microscopic world, and even the paths of “force” transmission.
Essentially, every thod of observing and evaluating the world that Jie Ming knew could be perceived through this sorcery.
Its strength lay in its extre detail—almost maddeningly so.
It was as if the entire world’s every detail was peeled apart and presented to Jie Ming in its rawest, most authentic form.
However, this extre detail also revealed a fatal flaw—the overwhelming amount of information!
When Jie Ming slightly expanded the detection range of the All-Purpose Eye to just a ter around him, his brain was instantly flooded with a deluge of data.
Countless streams of data, colors, lights, and fluctuations poured into his ntal sea like a breached dam, overwhelming his ntal energy’s capacity to process.
His brain felt dazed, even faintly aching.
“Retract!”
Jie Ming imdiately shut off the All-Purpose Eye, and the torrent of information receded, restoring clarity to his mind.
This made it clear that the All-Purpose Eye was utterly unsuitable as a wide-range detection sorcery.
If he tried to use it to survey an entire battlefield or observe enemy distributions in an area, he’d likely suffer ntal collapse from information overload.
On the other hand, this sorcery was incredibly convenient for research.
It practically eliminated the need for most experintal equipnt.
Jie Ming no longer needed complex elental spectroters to analyze energy compositions, thermal imagers to observe temperature changes, or microscopes to study the microscopic world.
With his own power, he could precisely observe and study various phenona, directly perceiving their intrinsic nature.
This was a sorcery unfit for combat, purely designed to aid research.
It perfectly matched Jie Ming’s long-standing passion for study, providing imnse convenience for his future academic pursuits.
Whether it was deeper analysis of divine faith networks, microscopic structural studies of materials, or detailed observation of bodily cells in the Body Forging thod, the All-Purpose Eye could provide the most comprehensive data.
