"The peak of the Eighth-level!"

Merlin sensed that the Mind Heart was bursting abundantly, and he felt incredulous. He remembered clearly that when he came to the Inceptive Dimension, his Mind Power was merely at the Eighth-level, and only at the beginning stage.

From the Eighth-level to the peak of the Eighth-level, it would take a few dozen years if he followed the usual method of cultivation. At Merlin's level, potions, meditation techniques, and so on, were of no use to him.

He could only rely upon understanding to expand his Mind Power but how could it possibly be that simple? This relied upon chance, just like how Great Wizards needed to depend on chance to consolidate their Maxim.

On one level, the depth of understanding required for a Mind Power Master to boost their Mind Power was no easier to achieve than consolidating a Maxim.

Merlin had only fused his consciousness into the Elemental Origin, which meant that he had experienced the memory of the dimension. This turned out to help his Mind Power grow at such an incredible pace.

"What a good thing to come out of misfortune! I thought I'd wasted so much time, and the disparity between Alcra and me had grown bigger. Unexpectedly, my Mind Power had advanced to the peak of the Eighth-level. With such a strong Mind Heart, my Mind Power is sufficient to construct all of the Eighth-level spells!"

After Merlin's Mind Heart had grown more powerful, the amount of Mind Power Merlin possessed had increased too. Initially, one's Mind Power would need to be higher than the spells by a level to construct every spell. Nevertheless, Merlin only had to reach the peak of the Eighth-level now to be assured of constructing all Eighth-level spells, becoming an Eighth-level Wizard.

It was just that he could construct spells at any time but expanding his Mind Power was immensely difficult. Moreover, there was now a desire burning in Merlin's heart, which was to upgrade his Mind Power to the Ninth-level as soon as he could.

Only when his Mind Power had broken through to the Ninth-level could he mobilize the power of the Illusory World by force, thus advancing his abilities. At that point, he would truly be equipped with the strength to contend against Great Legends.

Although he might not measure up to a true Legend, he would not be completely defenseless when faced with one. At first, Merlin held not much hope regarding increasing his Mind Power rapidly. He knew that for his Mind Power to reach the Ninth-level, it would be very challenging, taking up at least dozens of years before he could even attempt to mobilize the Illusory World.

However, unexpectedly, now he had the chance!

"The memory of a dimension could elevate my Mind Power so significantly. No matter what, I must give it another shot!"

Merlin's heart was now burning with unprecedented fervor. All at once, he was confident of condensing a Ninth-level Mind Heart.

Thus, having only woken up for about half a day, Merlin merged back once more into the Elemental Origin, soaking in that immense and endless dimension memory.

…

In the pitch-black sweep of the Void Zone, five strangers whose bodies were like rocks drifted in the Void Zone. They looked around their surroundings from time to time as if in search of something.

"We've been in this area for nearly half a year, yet we still haven't discovered that fabled Inceptive Dimension. Should we search in another region?"

From one look, anyone could tell that these strangers were the Rock Tribe. The Rock Tribe was easy to recognize. One look at their rock-like skin would indicate their identity.

These five Rock Creatures had powerful forces. Each of them was on par with a peak Great Wizard, and the one in the lead, whose frame was even larger, must surely be a match for a preeminent Great Wizard.

Only such a powerful group could wander around freely, searching in the open territory. With their combined strength, they would be able to at least put up a battle, no matter what they ran into. This was a common strategy Wizards or foreign tribes used when wandering around in the open territory, which was traveling in a group.

Of course, there were those who relied solely upon their own capability when traveling through the open territory. Wizards or foreign tribes like these had the utmost confidence in their abilities. The Tree Folk Alcra was one of them.

"There's only a small part left in this area. We'll take a look. If it's not there, we'll switch to another region to continue our search!"

The Rock Tribe group's leader spoke icily.

In the past few years, a rumor had come out of the open territory. According to this rumor, in one of the regions, there was an Inceptive Dimension. No one knew when this rumor started but news like this would inevitably attract others here. Therefore, many foreign tribes began to focus their efforts on hunting in the open territory.

In particular, the rumor had singled out a general area, so even more foreign tribes had gathered here. This group of the Rock Tribe was no more than one of many teams.

The Rock Tribe was a destructive civilization. Any dimension that they had encountered, regardless of whether it was occupied, would be remolded by them thoroughly. Its Dimension Core would be destroyed, turning into a dimension only suitable for the Rock Tribe.

Thus, the Rock Tribe was an unwelcomed civilization among the many civilizations of the Void Zone. If it were not for the three Rock Ancestors of the Rock Tribe civilization who were comparable to the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, the Rock Tribe would have been wiped out by some other civilizations long ago.

The Spell Caster civilization, for instance, had a tense relationship with the Rock Tribe. Some predicted that a war between these two civilizations was inevitable.

"This is the last part of this area, so everyone, look carefully!"

The Rock Tribe group's leader was systematic in his execution. This was the first region they were searching in. If they truly did not locate the rumored Inceptive Dimension, they would have to look for it in another area.

The Rock Creatures rapidly split apart, each of them using their own methods to comb through the area.

After a few hours, one of the Rock Creatures with a scarred face suddenly burst out in a gleeful expression, pointing to a direction ahead. "What a massive force. Dimension, it must be a dimension! I think it must be that rumored Inceptive Dimension!"

After his elated shouts, the four other Rock Creatures all flew to him, and the leader growled, "Quick, go and take a look!"

After the five of them had determined the direction and flew forward for a while, they finally came across an enormous dimension that was glowing and sparkling with light, incomparably dazzling.

"It really is a dimension! Haha, we've found it at last, only using more than half a year. That's pretty good luck. However, we have to be careful. If it has been seized by a powerful being, we'll run immediately, as far as we can."

The Rock Tribe group's leader said softly. In the open territory, some of the unknown dimensions were controlled by beings as powerful as Great Legends. Naturally, these Legends would not want anyone to know about them.

Thus, if they had encountered anyone who had learned about their dimension by accident, they would kill them immediately without hesitation. Therefore, if one encountered an unknown dimension in the open territory, one must first discern if it was controlled by a formidable being.

With that, the five Rock Creatures carefully withdrew their forces, and sneakily approached this strange new dimension…

…

Merlin was still lingering in the memory of the dimension. Merlin was practically intoxicated by the tremendous memory, unable to feel the passage of time.

Merlin slowly started from the birth of the dimension all the way throughout its gradual development. The entire transformation of this dimension was "experienced" by Merlin from the beginning to the end.

Just as Merlin was going through the "enormity" of the memory of the dimension, he immediately sensed that strangers had intruded in this dimension since he controlled half of the Elemental Origin.

"Swish."

Merlin's eyes flew open. At the same time, a gigantic human face emerged on the skyscraping tree that was rooted in thin air. With eyes fixed on Merlin, the face said in a low voice, "Wizard Merlin, I believe you've sensed it too. Someone's intruding!"

"That's right, I've felt it! Five in total, four of whom are comparable to peak Great Wizards. As for the last one, he's on par with a preeminent Great Wizard!"

Merlin's voice was calm. As Merlin and Alcra each controlled half of the Elemental Origin, no one would be able to conceal their activity of entering the dimension from them.

"Wizard Merlin, what do you plan to do?"

Alcra questioned softly.

"Plan? In the open territory, there's only one way to deal with strangers who've intruded the dimension!"

Merlin's voice was determined. Alcra's giant face broke out into a smile.

"I'll hold them in place. Wizard Merlin, the rest is up to you!"

Alcra was somewhat glad all of a sudden. Now that he and Merlin had become collaborators, he was under less pressure when facing these five intruders with Merlin's support.

Otherwise, he would find it difficult to slay so many Rock Creatures by himself. If even one of them escaped, the secret of the dimension would be revealed.

"Alright. As long as you can trap them here, I believe we'll find a way to deal with them!"

Merlin and Alcra exchanged a glance. With that, Alcra's real body vanished in thin air. Both of them, utilizing their powers as controllers of the dimension, tore space apart, instantly traveling toward the five Rock Creatures.

…

"What a vast dimension!

"There are no forces belonging to powerful beings. However, the Dimension Core is controlled by someone!"

"Haha, no matter who's controlling it, if they're not a great being, what's there to be afraid of with the five of us?"

Once they had entered the dimension, the five Rock Creatures grinned in excitement. Naturally, they could sense that this dimension had no gods. It was an Inceptive Dimension, and one which was the lifelong dream of any creature below the level of a Legend.

"Despicable Rock Tribe who intrude upon other being's dimension without permission. You must pay a heavy price!"

Suddenly, a cold voice boomed in the air. Following that, a giant tree materialized in mid-air with heavy branches and thick foliage, full of endless vitality.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Of course, this massive tree was the Tree Folk Alcra. Faced with five powerful Rock Creatures, he dared not act slowly, and instantly revealed his true form. The thick twisting roots snaked through the air. Millions of roots constantly wove and twined throughout the air like tentacles. In the blink of an eye, a large net of roots was formed, enclosing the five Rock Creatures tightly.

As the roots grew in the air, the Rock Tribe who did not even have the ability to shatter space could only watch helplessly as they were trapped by Alcra.

"Tree Folk?"

Looking at the skyscraping tree in the air, these Rock Creatures did not panic in the slightest, and instead smiled.

"Oh, powerful Tree Folk, you're only the best at binding. We're formidable Rock Creatures. Although our strength can't compare to the Giants, we have just about enough energy to resist you Tree Folk! I'll see how long you can keep us trapped. Kill!"

This was not the first time the Rock Tribe had encountered the Tree Folk. Naturally, they knew about the Tree Folk's strength and weaknesses. Even when faced with one who was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard, the Rock Tribe was unconcerned.

As soon as the leader gave the command, the Rock Creatures revealed their true, colossal rock form, exploding with incomparable offensive strength. They wildly attacked the web of roots that Alcra had woven.
