Chapter 747: Tentatively Refining the Mind Power System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Let me continue exploring.”

Merlin continued to look at the memories from the inheritances in his mind. Most of it was techniques for fighting with Mind Power. They were too many but to the current Merlin, most of it was not of much use.

Merlin knew clearly that these were for the use of the Purple Tribe members who were not that strong.

Besides techniques for using Mind Power to fight, Merlin finally came across Mind Power cultivation. This made Merlin excited. He had looked forward to this the most. He wanted to see if this ultimate existence had any original insights into the Mind Power system.

Perhaps it might corroborate Titus’ Mind Power system and further refine it. After all, Titus’ Mind Power system was only cultivated to an advanced stage by Titus himself. Even so, his Illusory World was not perfected back then, and he did not know what the problem was.

In short, Merlin was now a pioneer. Although he acknowledged the Mind Power system created by Titus, he was not completely assured. Now that there was a Mind Power system painstakingly refined by an ultimate existence to serve as a point of comparison, it was, of course, a wonderful thing.

Therefore, Merlin continued his exploration.

The cultivation of Mind Power in the Purple Emperor’s inheritance was very simple, and that was to grow one’s Mind Power incessantly. There was nothing about reaching certain realms. When one’s Mind Power had reached a certain level, one would naturally be able to use certain powerful attacks.

The Purple Emperor had practical experiences with this. He had also left these cultivation methods in the Purple Tribe back then, only they were not as developed as the ones in the inheritance.

Moreover, the last few boundaries in the Purple Emperor’s system could be compared to the levels above a Great Legend. Not even the Purple Emperor had reached these stages. He even said that it was too difficult to solely rely on expanding one’s Mind Power.

Thus, Merlin was a little disappointed. This method of strengthening Mind Power solely was not as good as Titus’ Mind Power system. At least Titus had condensed the Illusory World, which could compare to a Lord. Moreover, after the Illusory World was perfected, according to Titus’ estimation, one would be stronger than the greatest Lord, right behind an ultimate existence.

Of course, this was merely Titus’ conjecture. After all, even though Titus had consolidated the Illusory World, he always felt that something was missing and that it was not perfect.

Therefore, no one knew what the Illusory World would become after being perfected. They could only speculate.

According to Merlin’s guess, the final ten percent of the inheritance should be the cultivation methods of the Mind Power system, especially the most advanced ones. Nonetheless, those would only be based on the Purple Emperor’s deductions.

Therefore, even though Merlin had lost the last ten percent of the inheritance, it had no real meaning to him.

“Titus?”

Merlin yelled in the Illusory World but Titus still did not appear. Merlin shook his head helplessly. He knew that Titus was inspired by Aruba, maybe because he personally witnessed a powerful being like Aruba who could reverse and defy the natural order.

As a result, Titus concentrated on creating the final step of the Mind Power system, which would come after perfecting the Illusory World. Before this, Titus merely had a vague notion – to turn illusory into reality.

Titus’ previous notion became a concrete step after he saw Aruba, just like the Illusory Heart and the Illusory World. At least it was no longer unsubstantiated.

Nonetheless, this was difficult. Titus’ deductions alone might not be accurate, and no one knew how long it would take to calculate it. Perhaps it could never be done.

Since Titus was unwilling to come out, Merlin did not force him. He had received the Purple Emperor’s inheritance, and the most helpful thing would be Mind Suppression. This was a Mind Power technique that was very beneficial toward the current Merlin.

However, a new idea had popped in his head now. In the past, he was valued by the Blackfire Lord because he wanted Merlin to perfect the Mind Power system.

At least, it must break free from a Great Legend’s restraints. Previously, Merlin had always felt that the Mind Power system was not complete, so he had never put it into practice.

However, the Purple Emperor’s inheritance now gave Merlin a trace of hope to refine the Mind Power system or at least take the first step.

With this inheritance, those who cultivated Mind Power were no longer utterly puny, unable to survive after leaving the Spell Casters. This was the real reason Merlin had the drive to begin perfecting the Mind Power system.

If one followed Titus’ Mind Power system, one would still have to rely on the Spell Casters’ spells. Otherwise, for a long period, Spell Casters would not have any fighting abilities as they would be very weak. This was clearly not a developed system, far from the Spell Caster system.

However, with the Purple Emperor’s inheritance, it addressed this point nicely. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for Merlin to develop fighting techniques for the Mind Power Masters.

Having made this decision, Merlin might as well close his eyes, slowly and systematically sorting through the Mind Power system of the inheritance in his mind. This was very important, and a necessary process.

Titus’ Mind Power system constantly flashed across his Mind, verifying and clashing against the Purple Emperor’s inheritance. This sensation gave Merlin a new understanding. The Illusory Heart which was always vague now seemed clearer to him.

“Refining the Mind Power system also brings such a benefit?”

This was evidently a wonderful surprise. Merlin did not know how to break through to the realm of the Illusory Heart, but now, he had a way. Even if he did not attain the Illusory Heart, his understanding would deepen, accumulating his learning. At that point, perhaps an opportunity would allow Merlin to understand the secret of the Illusory Heart.

Merlin was working hard to tentatively refine the Mind Power system. He combed through everything and discovered that before condensing the Mind Heart, the Purple Emperor’s methods of strengthening Mind Power was far more developed and specific than Titus’ Mind Power system.

Previously, in Titus’ Mind Power system, there were essentially no concrete steps before condensing the Mind Heart.

However, with the Purple Emperor’s inheritance, this flaw was amended.

Mind Power Masters could foremost be divided into the First to the Seventh-level. Before the Seventh-level, Mind Power had some offensive measures but mostly those were similar to Hallucinating spells. They might affect one’s mind and consciousness, but they could not interact with the material plane.

A Mind Power Master at this point was relatively weak.

Nonetheless, at the Seventh-level, Mind Power Masters could consolidate a Mind Heart. This was a crucial step in being a Mind Power Master. Perhaps, in other words, only by reaching the Seventh-level and condensing the Mind Heart, could Mind Power Masters have the power to truly contend against Spell Casters or even be stronger than them!

After condensing the Mind Heart and gaining the ability to influence the material world, the majority of the Mind Power techniques in the Purple Emperor’s inheritance could be of use. This was the reason the Purple Emperor had placed such high hopes in the Purple Tribe.

With these methods of using Mind Power, even if the Purple Tribe did not have an ultimate existence, they could have become very powerful. However, now it was used by Merlin to gradually refine the Mind Power system.

Still, at this point, the Mind Power system was far from being perfected. In other words, consolidating the Mind Heart was only the beginning. If one wished to improve further, one would need the stages of the Hallucinating spells.

It could be said that the first boundary was the Eighth-level. Once one had become an Eighth-level Mind Power Master, it would be rather terrifying as Hallucinating spells could even compare to most Legendary Wizards. With the techniques of the Purple Emperor’s inheritance such as Mind Suppression, one could be on par with Legends.

With these two techniques combined, an Eighth-level Mind Power Master could comprehensively surpass most Legends. This was an advantage of the Mind Power system compared to Spell Casters.

Mind Power Masters from the First to the Sixth-level were weaker compared to the Spell Casters. However, upon reaching the Seventh-level and condensing a Mind Heart, they were evenly matched with Spell Casters of the same level.

Furthermore, if they could reach the stage of the Hallucinating spells at the Eighth-level, the superiority of Mind Power Masters would be displayed. A main stage like the Hallucinating spells could be divided into smaller stages according to the strength of the spells. These were all not important.

What was crucial was the realm of the Illusory Heart. This was where Merlin was now, and only Titus had passed this stage, so it had been put into practice.

Upon reaching the Ninth-level, it was even more frightening. The Illusory Heart could baffle Honored Legends or even control an enemy’s soul. In addition to Mind Suppression, a Mind Power Master at this point would be unmatched among their own level.

At the realm of the Illusory Heart was the Ninth-level Mind Power Master. Only then could it be said to comprehensively surpass the Spell Caster system, producing an existence at the peak.

Nonetheless, if Merlin had succeeded in creating the Illusory World in the future and perfected it, there would be a Tenth-level for Mind Power Masters. The fabled Tenth-level Mind Power Master might be the strongest contender below ultimate existences or perhaps truly be comparable to ultimate existences. No one had reached this point, so Merlin was unsure.

The Tenth-level was already the limit but in Titus’ theory, there was still the Eleventh-level. That would exceed the ultimate existences, materializing illusions into reality, able to reverse and defy the natural order. Perhaps that was on par with Aruba, who could travel through the infinite Latitude Cosmos.

It was just that whether it was the Illusory World of the Tenth-level or the materialization of illusions into reality at the Eleventh-level, no one had ever reached this point. Even the founder of the Mind Power system, Titus, had not reached these stages.

Titus was the founder while Merlin was the pioneer of the Mind Power system. Only he had the chance to verify this system part by part.

However, no matter what, if there was no Tenth-level Illusory World or Eleventh-level materialization, then this Mind Power system would end at this point and could be considered to be tentatively refined.

This completed system, which fell short of Spell Casters in the beginning stage, matched them in the middle stage, and even surpassed them in the final stage, was created by Titus, and complemented by the Purple Emperor’s inheritance.

Finally, it was organized by Merlin. Only then was this Mind Power system had been tentatively refined!

“I can almost grasp the Illusory Heart…”

After Merlin had tentatively refined the Mind Power system, he opened his eyes. His gaze revealed an incomparably abstruse look.

In refining the Mind Power system, Merlin’s efforts were no less than Titus’ efforts. Titus had merely established the theory. Merlin could only achieve the state of the Illusory Heart through this coincidental opportunity.

It could be said that no one else could replicate Merlin’s path. At first, this was not enough to create a complete system which everyone could cultivate. It was Merlin who had reorganized the Mind Power system, supporting it with the Purple Emperor’s inheritance. Only then was the entire Mind Power system tentatively refined.

Throughout this process, Merlin gained many benefits as well. Areas which had puzzled him before, upon his thorough organization, naturally became clear to him.

Merlin could even feel that he merely needed a small push to attain the Illusory Heart. Even if there was no such opportunity, in less than a century, he could still successfully reach the realm of the Illusory Heart, becoming a powerful Ninth-level Mind Power Master!
