The Wizard Path From The Simulator

Chapter 285: 174 “New Simulation” and

“How many?”

Milton Cheney reflexively retorted.

Because when he was asked this question by Bane, he realized that Lan had never informed him about this aspect.

However, the answer to this question would not affect Milton’s final decision in any way.

As long as there was the slightest chance of becoming a Level 6 Wizard, Milton would never choose to confine his future to being a Level 5 Wizard.

Milton’s unconscious counter-question was more out of curiosity.

“Of the ten unowned rules discovered, the maximum limit for eight or even nine of them is a Level 5 Wizard.”

“Do you regret rejecting these unowned rules now?”

Bane commented.

In other words, currently in the Wizard Realm, including those from the past, ninety percent of Level 5 Wizards have integrated with rules that have a maximum limit of Level 5.

Before Milton could respond, Bane continued:

“Even if one integrates with the rule that has a maximum limit of a Level 6 Wizard, it does not guarantee that they can become a Level 6 Wizard.”

“The disparity between a Level 6 Wizard and a Level 5 Wizard is significant. The maximum limit of the rules only serves as a stepping stone and not the key to opening the door to becoming a Level 6 Wizard.”

At the fall of Bane’s words, Milton’s facial expression remained unchanged. Milton nodded slightly, indicating he understood what Bane meant.

“I understand, mentor.” Milton chimed in.

“Do you have any regrets?”

Upon hearing this, Milton shook his head.

Regret was out of question.

Having seen the vastness of the world, even witnessing the existence of Level 8 Mage in other worlds, how could Milton be content with being stuck as a Level 5 Wizard?

Even though he was only a Level 1+ Wizard at the moment.

Seeing that Milton genuinely had no regrets, Bane didn’t know what to say.

His student was indeed aiming high.

He had never imagined that Milton would actually reject a rule.

Notably, it was a rule that served as a key to the door to becoming a Level 5 Wizard. In his mind, no one would reject such an opportunity.

However, his student did, disregarding conventional wisdom.

“Do you know what level is the maximum limit of the rule my mentor has integrated with?”

Bane brought up a new topic.

Milton shook his head.

He genuinely didn’t know what was the maximum limit of the rule Lan integrated with.

Lan had not mentioned this in the Rules Space.

“Level 5? Or Level

Milton ventured.

Based on Bane’s words, most of the rules have Level 5 as their maximum limit.

So Milton randomly guessed two levels.

However, upon hearing Milton’s speculations, Bane shook his head.

“There are no rules with Level 6 as their maximum limit.’

“The highest limit of the rules are of two types: one is Level 5 and the other has no limit.”

“Because, when one wants to evolve from a Level 6 Wizard to a Level 7 Wizard, it has nothing to do with rules.”

Bane clarified.

Upon hearing this, Milton couldn’t possibly misunderstand the implications.

If the rule that Lan integrated with wasn’t capped at Level 5 and there were no rules with Level 6 as their maximum limit, then the rule that Lan integrated with must be the one that didn’t have a limit.

No limit implied that Lan’s future remained uncertain.

“Even so, the difficulty of my mentor wanting to become a Level 6 Wizard is still exceptionally high.”

Bane remarked.

Milton didn’t interrupt Bane, he just listened quietly.

“My mentor became a Level 5 Wizard one hundred and twenty thousand years ago.”

“One hundred and twenty thousand years?” Milton questioned.

“Yes, one hundred and twenty thousand years.”

“After becoming a Level 5 Wizard, time is just a number.”

“However, even after a hundred and twenty thousand years have passed, my mentor has remained a Level 5 Wizard, with little hope of ever advancing to a

Level 6 Wizard.”

“Do you know why that is?”

Upon this, Bane posed a counter-question.

Milton pondered for a moment, before answering rather tentatively:

“Is it because of the Wizard Path?”

“I remember my Ancestral Master chose the Magic Device Wizard Path and the maximum limit of this path was a Level 5 Wizard.”

As Milton concluded, Bane nodded in agreement.

Milton was correct, it indeed had to do with the Wizard Path.

However, Milton was not entirely accurate.

“Your answer is not entirely wrong. My mentor was indeed restricted by the Wizard Path.”

“However, the path of the Magic Device Wizard was actually pioneered by my mentor himself. The potential of this Wizard Path is entirely dependent on him.

“Who knows, the ultimate potential of this Wizard Path might extends beyond a Level 5 Wizard?”

Bane suggested.

These few brief sentences triggered waves of thought in Milton’s mind.

It turned out that his Ancestral Master was the one who had pioneered the Wizard Path of the Magic Device Wizard.

Milton had once researched this Transcendent Path of the Magic Device Wizard in the Library of the Guardian Sea. He knew that a member of the Guardian Sea was the one who had established this Wizard Path.

But what Milton never expected was that this member was actually his Ancestral Master.

“In other words, isn’t it much more difficult for my Ancestral Master to become a Level 6 Wizard than for other Level 5 Wizards?”

Milton spoke.

For an ordinary Level 5 Wizard, although the path to becoming a Level 6 Wizard is difficult, it is at least well-defined.

But Milton’s Ancestral Master, Lan, has embarked on a Wizard Path that he himself has pioneered.

In this case, to become a Level 6 Wizard, he must first lay out his path before proceeding.

Upon hearing this, Bane nodded in agreement.

The reason why his initial goal was a Level 5 Wizard, and not a Level 6 or Level 7 Wizard, is this..
