Chapter 3: Standing at the Top of All Mages!

He came here to visit an old friend and was about to leave, but seeing that all the children here actually knew a little bit of magic knowledge, it was obvious that they had received the edification of his old friend. He couldn’t help but become interested and began to explain to them.
Suddenly, he heard a voice from the crowd.
“Grandpa, the magic formula you mentioned can’t be 100% able to simulate the rules of nature, right? If the rules are so easy to grasp, then aren’t mages all gods?”
The wandering mage was stunned and looked at the crowd. Behind the crowd, the child named Su Han was looking at him, his eyes full of curiosity.
It was the child whose affinity with the elements was negative.
The wandering mage sighed in his heart. This child was able to see the problem at a glance. It was obvious that he had already entered the threshold of being a mage. It was just that the heavens were too unfair. It was a pity that such a good seedling with outstanding spiritual power was born.
He nodded and said, “You are right. After all, magic formulas are created by mortals. No matter how complicated and exquisite the spell is, the laws of nature that can be received are only a small part of it.”
“However, the more powerful a mage is, the closer their magic formula is to the laws of nature. This is also why there are strong and weak mages.”
“If one day, your magic formula accumulates to a certain level, then there is a small chance that you will be able to see the laws of nature. When you can see the laws of nature, you will be a Saint Magister.”
He said solemnly, “This is actually a process of continuous accumulation. When you can directly see the laws of nature, you will no longer need magic formulas to construct magic. Compared to the real laws, our magic formulas constructing magic are too crude and simple compared to the real laws. And a Saint Magister can use his spiritual power to construct the picture of the laws he can see and cast spells. Whether it is power or casting speed, they are far superior to ordinary mages.”
Su Han’s heart was filled with great waves. The wandering mage’s words had vaguely touched upon a new path, a brand-new path that could open up the path of magic.
If the end of a mage was to be able to come into contact with the laws of heaven and earth, then wouldn’t he be standing at the peak that all mages yearned for from the very beginning?
He had chosen the Eye of Law to be able to see the laws, which meant that he had omitted the thousands of years of accumulated knowledge of the Saint Magister.
If he could construct the laws like the Saint Magister, then perhaps he might really be able to embark on the path of magic once again.
He forcefully restrained his rapid breathing and asked,
“Grandpa Mage, can you tell me? How does a Saint Magister use his spiritual power to construct the laws?”
The wandering mage felt the excitement in the child’s heart, but he did not quite understand why he was so excited. Almost every mage knew how a Saint Magister used magic, but no one could imitate it… Because no one could see the changes in the laws between heaven and earth.
However, he still answered Su Han’s question.
“If you want to understand how the Saint Magister cast spells, you have to first understand the laws of this world.”
“In the eyes of ordinary people, laws are rules, and rules are naturally invisible objects. They are just an abstract concept, but in reality, laws have a form.”
The roaming mage’s expression was solemn as he said, “According to the records left behind by the Saint Magister in the ancient times, laws are actually a form of power. A power that is like silk threads, lingering in the world we live in.”
“Those threads are the power of the law.”
“And the power of the law has been further constructed to form one rule wheel after another. These rule wheels are the things that the magic formula desperately wants to simulate.”
He explained to Su Han, “The power of the law is like words, and the rule wheel is a sentence that is formed from these words. It is a sentence that gives meaning to all things.”
Su Han said, “Countless words can form countless sentences, and the meaning of each sentence is different, so the rules are endless… Is that right?”
The great mage said in a different tone, “That’s right, it is indeed so. For you to have such an understanding, it is really amazing.”
Su Han looked in all directions, and his eyes widened.
The complicated pattern formed by silk threads filled his surroundings, wandering in all directions.
It was the image of the Great Dao, the wheel of laws.
The wandering mage said solemnly, “And the wheel of laws is what all mages pursue all their lives. If you can see the paper wheel of laws, you only need to use your mind power to construct it for your use, and then you will truly become a Saint Magister that transcends all mages.”
Using mental energy to construct the wheel of laws? Su Han looked at the picture of the laws and clenched his fists.
“I understand.” Su Han stood up and bowed to the roaming mage. He said solemnly, “Thank you for telling me this.”
The roaming mage was stunned. He did not know why this youth would be so solemn and thank him. He had only told him something that every mage knew… This was something that every novice mage would learn in class.
