I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world

Chapter 724 Reward

After the battle, the other wizards were still busy reinforcing the seal on Shuoyuan's body.

The Time Seal and the Spirit Seal are the last two locks, but no one can guarantee that a sub-level nine dragon that has been trapped in the Reflection Dimension for tens of millions of years might still have some tricks up its sleeve.

Several level-seven wizards were scattered around the dragon's body, and the light of the solidified law domain flickered on and off.

With each seal added, the energy fluctuations in the void grew heavier, as if the entire battlefield was sinking along with the giant dragon. Jemin, however, did not participate in the sealing process.

Firstly, he knew in his heart that his sealing skills were far inferior to those of these veteran level seven wizards; secondly...

He was floating on the edge of the battlefield, his vertical eye between his brows slightly narrowed, his expression somewhat strange.

The impact just now—the one where the Broadleaf Wizard used him as a battering ram to smash him right in the center of the Shuoyuan Dragon's head—didn't feel anything particularly special.

With the Returning Void Armor, the Body Tempering Technique, and the protection provided by a group of level seven wizards, even though the dragon was knocked unconscious for a moment by his attack, he himself didn't even get a scratch.

But in the seconds after the collision, a bunch of things suddenly appeared in his mind.

At first, Jemin almost thought it was a stream of information that had been forcibly inserted into his mind.

But after careful investigation, Jemin found no trace of intrusion; the way these information streams appeared seemed more like a natural infiltration. The knowledge was fragmented and disjointed.

Some are about the energy frequency band tuning of the reflection dimension.

There are also some that relate to the underlying runic structure of the dragon bloodline.

Others are simply fragments of memory so blurry they seem to be seen through a mist.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell Kuoye about the phenomenon.

"This is a characteristic of beings from the Reflection Dimension."

While overseeing the final stages of the sealing process, the Broadleaf Wizard explained in a calm and unhurried tone, clearly accustomed to such situations.

"Didn't I tell you before the war that the knowledge gained in battle would be your reward? That's why I said that."

"The reflection dimension is essentially a reflection of the main world's thought processes. When beings in the reflection dimension... or beings with the properties of the reflection dimension come into contact with beings in the main world, they will naturally infuse the information contained within themselves into the reflection dimension. The pressure difference between dimensions does not only annihilate matter, but also causes information to permeate at the contact surface."

Broadleaf Wizard thought for a moment and made a very simple analogy.

"It's like when you press a sponge into water, the water seeps in on its own. The physical impact of your collision was just the surface; the real contact occurred at the dimensional level. That dragon has been in the reflection dimension for too long, and a considerable part of its soul essence has been transformed into that of a creature from the reflection dimension. When you collided with it, its information seeped into your brain along the dimensional contact surface."

Jemin paused for a moment, a faint glint of light flashing in all three of his eyes: "What if we could capture more creatures from the Reflection Dimension..." "Don't even think about it."

Broadleaf Wizard abruptly interrupted his thoughts, his tone carrying a sigh—the helplessness of someone with experience towards the unrealistic fantasies of a younger generation. "Proper beings from the Reflection Dimension simply cannot enter the main world. The laws of the two dimensions are incompatible. If they were to enter the main world, it would be like throwing a deep-sea fish into a volcano. It's not a matter of adaptation; rather, their form of existence is inherently unable to be maintained within the physical framework of the main world."

He glanced at Jemin and continued:

"Under normal circumstances, the so-called contact with beings in the reflection dimension is actually separated by an entire dimensional difference; it's just that they are observing each other across different dimensions."

"Even those sealed samples were barely preserved by using dimensional sealing techniques to peel off a small piece of the dimensional interlayer. As for the dragon you just bumped into, it was purely because it was originally a creature of the main world, but it transformed a part of itself into the form of a creature in the reflection dimension. It can move around normally in the main world by using its original dragon body as an anchor point. You won't find many special cases like this even if you search the entire workshop's archives."

He then added:

"Of course, if you're willing to take on missions that involve camping out at the edge of the Reflection Dimension, it's not entirely impossible. However, that's something only an eighth-level wizard would seriously consider."

Jemin nodded, temporarily suppressing the thought deep within his mind.

Broadleaf Wizard glanced at the battlefield, which was still being finished, estimated the progress, and then turned back to Jemin.

"This battle ended faster than expected. I originally estimated that after the dragon awakened, we would have to fight for at least a few more rounds of attack and defense. However, this dragon has a certain degree of the ability to make its wishes come true, so there was no way to hold back. We had to capture it in one go."

Kuoye's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

"When Avery recommended you, he said you could withstand the dimensional difference, and I didn't take it too seriously, but I didn't expect you to be this capable..." He raised two fingers.

"Given your immense contributions in this battle, coupled with the meager reward you received, we need to offer you some compensation. Knowledge, or military merit—which do you choose?"

"Knowledge."

Jemin answered without hesitation.

"Reflection dimension related."

Kuoye nodded, as if he had already guessed that he would make this choice.

"There are two options for the specific delivery method." He held up one finger. "First, we can send you a copy of the relevant knowledge after we've made some progress in our research on this dragon. The advantage is that it covers a wide range of topics, including dragon bloodlines, reflection dimension modification technology, and ancient law solidification methods. The disadvantage is that you'll have to wait. Analyzing the technology of a peak level eight dragon isn't something that can be done in a few years."

He then extended a second finger.

"Secondly, I currently have some knowledge about the Reflection Dimension, which I'll give you directly. The content mainly includes the basic theories of the Reflection Dimension, the standardized construction and closing techniques of dimensional channels, the introductory principles of dimensional sealing techniques, and a small amount of information fragments extracted from biological samples from other Reflection Dimensions. The coverage isn't as broad as the first option, but the advantage is that you can get it right now."

"the latter."

Jemin didn't hesitate at all.

"it is good."

Kuoye took out an amber-colored recording crystal from his sleeve, lightly touched the surface with his fingertip to inscribe a copy of the knowledge, and then casually tossed it to Jieming.

The crystal traced a short arc in the air before landing steadily in Jemin's palm.

"The military will send the mission completion confirmation to your magic network terminal today. The mandatory conscription quota will also be cancelled simultaneously." Jemin placed the recording crystal on his third eye and quickly scanned the catalog with his mental energy.

Standardized construction and closure techniques for dimensional channels.

Introductory principles of dimensional sealing techniques.

The basic theoretical framework of reflection dimension.

Each one is the piece of the puzzle he needs most right now.

Adding to the details of the Judgment Technique he had previously unearthed from the iron-gray dragonman's memories, and the fragmented information he had passively absorbed during the dragon collision, his technical accumulation in the Reflection Dimension had gradually expanded from a single point to a level where he could barely outline a concept. "Alright, the knowledge is confirmed to be correct. Thank you so much this time."

"No, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, he might have really gotten away during the fight." Broadleaf Wizard waved his hand. Jemin put away the crystal, gave Broadleaf Wizard a farewell bow, and then turned and stepped onto the spatial teleportation array.

The light from the teleportation array slowly faded behind him.

The familiar aura of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane enveloped us from all directions.

The control room was quieter than usual.

Viola is not here.

After thinking about it, Jieming realized that he had handled things too quickly this time, so she probably hadn't left yet; she was probably resting.

Without notifying anyone else, he left the control room and walked down the corridor toward the laboratory.

As I passed by the teleportation hall, I glanced out at it.

Through the observation window on the side of the hall, one can see that the preliminary framework of the dimensional fusion project has been completed.

The Tentacle Tree plane has been completely merged into the subordinate plane group of the Purgatory Sulfur plane. The barriers of the two planes converge at the fusion node, forming a stable two-color light film.

Several engineering vessels were conducting final inspections near the light membrane. Technicians from the Black Giant and the Tentacle Tree were busy working on the same work platform, and the scene was much more harmonious than he had expected.

The laboratory door slid open silently.

A pale blue, cool light shone on the familiar workspace.

The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror flew out from his spiritual sea and automatically hovered beside him, beginning to record and archive the task summary he dictated, item by item. He walked to his workspace, took out the amber-colored recording crystal given to him by Kuo Ye from his inner sanctum, and embedded it into the reading slot next to his workspace.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the fundamental theoretical framework of the Reflection Dimension begins to unfold slowly, page by page.
