SORCERER: I WANT TO BE AN ACADEMIC PRODIGY

Chapter 535: Chapter 533: Secret Technique of the Treasured Tome

Regarding the Prophet’s Treasure Tome, Spark certainly recognized its extraordinary value, so immense that it could be described as beyond measure, given that it involved mystical prophecies and the power of foresight.

He had coveted it for a long time, once regarding the tome as an item already in his possession.

Now, it had been snatched away the moment they met.

How could Spark remain composed? He glared coldly at Tanaya, suspecting that she had always concealed certain key information from him, leading to him missing out on the treasured Tome.

“Divine artifacts possess sentience, selecting a worthy master to reside with, it seems the Prophet’s Treasure Tome should rightfully be yours, Ivan.”

An eye for an eye, Tanaya didn’t pay him any attention, instead, she smiled radiantly at Ivan, her tone filled with cheer.

…

“Haha, you’re right, the tome and I are fated.”

Ivan was also very pleased, not only for being chosen by the tome but more importantly, he had confirmed something else, that his analysis on the inheritance of ancient wisdom was very likely true.

How could this stroke of fortune not make him happy!

Inside the Crystal Secret Palace, the expressions of the two Arcane Wizards were in stark contrast, at the moment, Spark’s face was so dark it could almost drip water.

“Sorcerer Marichadon, could you possibly show us a glimpse of the true form of the tome?” His demeanor quickly regained composure, evident of no ordinary person.

“Certainly, certainly.”

Ivan reached out with his right hand, and a cyan-colored book appeared in his palm.

The color of the book matched that of the deep waters of Green Lake, with no text, patterns, or even a treasure’s radiance on it; at first glance, it still seemed quite ordinary.

Spark attempted to discern anything he could from it, but it was in vain.

After two or three seconds, Ivan withdrew the tome, the Prophet’s Treasure Tome had already appeared in his Sea of Soul Energy, the first treasure capable of being contained within, highlighting its uniqueness.

“What an incomparable treasure indeed,” Spark praised audibly.

“Indeed,” Ivan glanced at him, suspecting that this fellow probably had nothing good up his sleeve.

“With such power, it will surely bring great blessings to the sorcerer world. You must be aware, the current situation in the sorcerer world is exceptionally dire, it has come to—–”

“Sorcerer Fuller, may I ask what your current position is?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t you understand a simple principle? One should not interfere in politics if it’s not their position to do so. Hence, this is not your place to speak, and I hope you can show some restraint and stop eyeing what others possess.”

He had tried to take the moral high ground, but how could Ivan fall for that? He promptly reproached him.

“You—–” Spark’s expression once again strained.

“If you have nothing else, I believe we must take our leave.”

Ivan added, without any intention of encroaching further to demand the Green Lake Palace for himself.

An Arcane Wizard lacked neither territory nor influence, and since he had already taken the palace’s most valuable item, there was no need for further conflict.

Afterward, he led his group out openly and with dignity.

Bound by the covenant shared among all Arcane Wizards, Spark could do nothing but watch helplessly as they left.

“Heehee, today we have really vented some spleen.”

As they emerged from the bottom of Green Lake, Tanaya felt not a stitch of sorrow despite the distant rumbling sounds; on the contrary, she experienced a sense of exultation.

She had aided Spark in achieving arcane status, but he had shown no gratitude, instead, he had turned around to undermine her. This had dealt her a significant blow.

Fortunately, Ivan had turned the tables for her, leaving her with a particularly soothing sense of satisfaction.

“As long as you’re happy.”

“Ivan, weren’t you worried about offending Spark when you spoke just now?”

“With his temperament, by the time I’d taken away the tome, I’d already pretty much offended him.” Ivan turned his head to glance at her and shook his head slightly.

“That’s true. Given that guy’s temperament, he probably already envies and hates you. You need to be cautious and on your guard.” Tanaya wholeheartedly agreed with this reasoning.

As for herself, with the King of the Long Sky watching over her and Gerry guarding her, Spark wouldn’t dare to make a rash move.

“No worries, there’s the covenant that binds us, and besides, I’m not afraid of him causing trouble.”

The circumstances in the sorcerer world were never quite stable, and the high-level sorcerers naturally gave priority to unity. Becoming a member of the Supreme Council came with a stringent contract, mainly to prevent infighting. This effectively avoided most of the internal conflicts.

The swamp ants carried the group, soaring upwards, and in a moment, the Green Lake Palace was left far behind.

As they neared the inner city, Ivan made a request for Tanaya to survey the unclaimed lands of the outer city in preparation for choosing his own territory.

Tanaya agreed without hesitation, as this task, for someone who grew up in Truth City, couldn’t be simpler.

Before long, the group returned to the Scholar’s Court at the Golden Rock Tower, and everyone went about their respective business.

Ivan went to his meditation room to continue examining the Prophet’s Treasure Tome that had just come into his possession. His prior contemplation was not yet complete, and he was somewhat eager to resume.

Since the Prophet’s Treasure Tome was a book, its pages mostly contained information likely related to prophecy and secret techniques of foretelling.

He randomly flipped through it and became immersed once again.

“The higher the level of strength, the more indifferent one becomes to the concept of time. This reflects the saying, ‘In cultivation, there are no years.’”

It wasn’t until he snapped back to reality that he realized thirty-three days had passed, though he had thought only a few hours had gone by.

He was filled with mixed feelings for a moment and considered that perhaps it was necessary for him to hire a dedicated steward.

This caused him to think of Jeanie.

Ivan shook his head, dispelling these miscellaneous thoughts from his mind, and his focus returned to the Prophet’s Treasure Tome.

“This Prophet’s Treasure Tome is indeed related to the power of wisdom. It can be said to share the same root as the Light of Wisdom, yet it has evolved into something with different characteristics.

One is a tome, and the other is the light of wisdom.

It seems that the essence of the Light of Wisdom is actually a product transformed according to my own mind, no wonder it looks so familiar, as if it was tailor-made for me.”

Ivan couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

Compared to the Light of Wisdom, the focus of the Prophet’s Treasure Tome is quite different. It leans towards the foretelling of the destinies of living beings, especially its owner’s.

It also has a magical effect—stabilization of fortune.

Stabilizing fortune, as the name suggests, is about solidifying the owner of the tome’s luck and destiny, ensuring they are not influenced by external negative forces and making things go more smoothly.

The secret techniques recorded in the book are related to this as well.

‘Heavenly Stele Fortune Suppression Technique’

Ivan understood that the secret technique and the tome were unified; without the Prophet’s Treasure Tome in hand, one couldn’t cultivate this extraordinary technique, as the tome itself was the threshold.

With the Prophet’s Treasure Tome in his possession, practicing the Heavenly Stele Fortune Suppression Technique was naturally self-evident.

Another half a month swiftly passed, and in Ivan’s Sea of Soul Energy, the tome once again transformed into a stele—this time, however, the stele was transparent, surrounded by a mysterious aura of aqua and purple light.

The aqua and purple light was incredibly soft, illuminating the vast Sea of Soul Energy.

And thus, the Heavenly Stele Fortune Suppression Technique was successfully cultivated by him.
