Chapter 374: Chapter 216 “Unexpected Discovery” and “Facing Mansour in Reality” (Subscription Required)_2

Translator: 549690339

In the first of these two text simulations, Milton Cheney did not choose to enter the River Cavern, instead, he put all his emphasis on practicing the Meditation Technique.

As a result, Mansour seemed to have not paid that much attention to him.

And it wasn’t just that.

During the first text simulation, Mansour even personally met with Milton Cheney a year later.

Specifically, to get him to enter the River Cavern to sense the Power of Rules.

Of course, he still refused in the first simulation.

But just because of this factor, Milton Cheney’s future changed significantly.

The most noticeable change was that he didn’t live as long as he did in the previous text simulation.

So, in the second text simulation, Milton Cheney decisively chose to enter the River Cavern to perceive the Rules.

Although the perceptions of these rules were not retained in reality after the simulation ended.

However, during the simulation, Mansour did pay more attention to him.

“Why did this happen?”

“If it’s just because my perception of the rules is too shallow, that’s not entirely the case, after all, I’ve actually experienced the rules perception in the River Cavern once already.”

Milton Cheney pondered in his heart.

This unexpected discovery indeed gave him a strange feeling.

In the first text simulation, the simulated Milton Cheney didn’t choose to enter the River Cavern due to the influence of Milton’s subconscious mind.

After so many text simulations, Milton Cheney was already adept at influencing the simulated him through his subconscious mind.

And the reason why Milton Cheney did this was extremely simple.

That was because the rules perceived in the text simulation couldn’t feed back into reality, so there was no need to waste time on this.

But what Milton Cheney didn’t expect was that this unintentional act led to such a discovery.

“Could the River Cavern have a function that I don’t know about?”

A thought like this suddenly popped into Milton Cheney’s mind.

After all, he didn’t have a deep understanding of the River Cavern.

All his knowledge about the River Cavern actually came from what his Ancestral Master Lan told him.

After all, Milton Cheney couldn’t investigate this, and the only source of information he had was what his Ancestral Master had said.

But thinking about it, Milton Cheney felt that something was not right.

Because Lan had no need to hide it from him, and there was no need to deliberately deceive him.

Milton Cheney did not believe that Lan was fooling him, he could discern that much.

But the River Cavern’s function of enhancing Rules Perception was real, beyond doubt, as this was something Milton Cheney had personally experienced during the True Body Simulation.

Could it be possible that Lan’s understanding of the River Cavern is also incomplete?

After all, how and when the River Cavern appeared in the Guardian Sea, probably even Lan is not clear.

Worse still, could the River Cavern be Mansour’s hidden means of controlling someone?

At this thought, Milton Cheney slightly frowned.

Thinking things through from the worst-case scenario was a sort of habit of Milton’s.

When he thought about a problem, he would never only consider the best-case scenario.

But that didn’t seem right either. At least in the True Body Simulation, Milton Cheney didn’t feel any adverse effects on his body due to the River Cavern.

Furthermore, the River Cavern represents the Long River of Rules in the Wizard Realm, could Mansour be so powerful as to manipulate the Long River of Rules?

Milton Cheney thought the possibility of that was quite low.

Time slowly passed, and after pondering for a while, Milton Cheney temporarily suppressed these thoughts deep in his heart.

As for why, Milton Cheney could not figure out the precise reason at this time.

He had some ideas, but they were just that, ideas, mere conjectures.

Milton Cheney did not overthink it; after all, there would be plenty of time in the future to uncover all the secrets.

Moreover, with the True Body Simulation, the real Milton Cheney had no plans to enter the River Cavern.

Even if the River Cavern really had some special effects on those who entered, as long as Milton never physically entered the River Cavern, it would be fine.

As for whether entering the River Cavern in a True Body Simulation would affect the real him, Milton Cheney believed it wouldn’t.

Because the text simulations had already done the experiment for him.

If it would, Mansour’s attitude wouldn’t have changed in the first text simulation just now.

Stopping his ponderings, Milton Cheney started running the Meditation Routes, beginning his cultivation of the Meditation Technique.

If there was a way to completely clear his mind of distractions, then meditation was the best method.

Time slips away, and in a blink of an eye, ten months have passed.

In this nearly year-long span, Milton Cheney has been continuously practicing the Meditation Technique within the Wizard Tower.

For Milton at this time, the period of practicing the Meditation Technique could be a few months, or it could be a few years.

For him, the span of a few months and a few years have approximately become indistinguishable.

Inside the Wizard Tower, Milton, who had been meditating with crossed legs at the array center, ceased the operation of meditation routes.

Milton slowly opened his eyes, and the spiritual power swirling around him was retracted back into his Spiritual Sea.

After ten months, this is the first time Milton has halted his practice of the Meditation Technique.

The reason he stopped this Meditation Technique practice was not something else, but because someone had messaged him.

In the next moment, Milton’s mind stirred.

The Book of Truth, which had been suspended in his Spiritual Sea, appeared in front of Milton.

After checking the message in the Book of Truth, Milton returned the Book of Truth to his Spiritual Sea.

Milton, who had already experienced once in the Text Simulation, naturally wasn’t a stranger to what would happen next.

So, his facial expression did not change at all, he stood up, mobilized his spiritual power, and left the top floor of the Wizard Tower.

When Milton’s figure reappeared, it was in a space that was not strange to him.

The Rules Space of Lan.

Milton did not survey the environment within the space, but instead directly shifted his gaze onto Lan, who was within the space.

Milton did not speak, waiting for Lan to take the initiative to speak.

“The conspiracy of the Bloody Sea Realm against the Wizards of the Wizard Continent in the Wizard Realm has been verified as true,”

Lan spoke, his tone containing a hint of surprise.

It seemed that he was also somewhat surprised that what Milton said was indeed going to happen.

Nobody, not even the wizards standing at the top of the Wizard Realm, noticed this before Milton spoke, perhaps this was due to the arrogance of the Grand wizards themselves.

Hearing these words, Milton merely nodded.

Lan paid it no mind, instead continuing, “The Guardian Lord wishes to see you, perhaps it’s because of this.”

“The Guardian Lord?”

Hearing this, Milton paused, expressing some uncertainty.

Of course, this was a deliberate display by Milton.

With the memory retained from the Text Simulation, Milton naturally knew that the Guardian Lord wished to see him.

However, he still needed to make a point of displaying this, as anyone would naturally react when hearing that the Guardian Lord wished to see them.

Not showing a hint of reaction would seem unnatural.

Lan didn’t find Milton’s reaction surprising, expressing a slight smile on his face and nodding lightly.

“I understand, Ancestral Master, thank you for the trouble.”

Milton said.

As his words fell, Lan gently waved his hand.

A white light surged in the Rules Space, enveloping Milton’s body and transported him out of the Rules Space.

Milton’s consciousness was not affected, he could clearly feel a force enveloping his body, seemingly leading him somewhere.

Time slowly passes until the light brightens before Milton’s eyes.

The silhouette of a middle-aged man appears before him.

As Milton appeared there, the middle-aged man turned to look at him.

Even though he was prepared, Milton’s heart tightened as he recognized the middle-aged man’s face.

Mansour.

No matter what had happened in the simulation.

In reality, this was the first time Milton had truly come face to face with Mansour himself.

“Flame rules, very good.”

Mansour started speaking, his voice was quite gentle.

He did not mention the plot of the Bloody Sea Realm, instead, he pointed out the rules that Milton had merged with.

It seemed as if in Mansour’s eyes, the plot of the Bloody Sea Realm did not mean much.
