Chapter 690: Bug Luminist! (5)

Therefore, he refined the [Arcane] into a [Totem Art].
Then, he sought newborn Terror Bugs or insect eggs.
Using a special Purification Elixir, he cleansed the negative energy from the bodies of the Terror Bugs, turning them into unconscious, computer-program-like Totem Insects, also known as Rule Bugs by some.
Relying on the art and elixirs, he transplanted the Totem Insects into the body, illuminating the totem light within.
Continuously using various precious materials, elixirs, and one’s own bloodline to nurture the Totem Insects.
Ultimately, achieving the seamless fusion of Totem Insects and oneself.
The strength of the Totem Insects, represented the strength of oneself, and the advancement of the totem corresponded to one’s own progress.
This approach was more thorough than the spiritualism school in the Wizard World.
Essentially, it was akin to how a knight utilizes the strength from the bloodline of a transcendent creature to gain transcendent power.
After reading through it, Levi felt a profound impact within.
Learning from others’ experiences can enhance one’s own knowledge.
The Totemist system provided Levi with considerable inspiration.
For example, the elixir they developed that could cleanse the negative energy and side effects from Terror Bugs, transforming them into unconscious, program-like entities with only transcendent power—the Rule Bugs.
Purification elixir, that was undoubtedly a great thing.
If Levi were to study it, perhaps he could apply similar methods to his own bloodline.
By doing so, he could rid his bloodline of the beastly nature and any imprints that the primordial ancestor hidden within the bloodline might have left.
These were potential hazards of the bloodline path; just because Levi was fine now didn’t mean he would be in the future.
As his bloodline evolved further, there was a risk of reverting to a primal state in the future.
Would the eventual Levi still be himself?
Levi didn’t mind turning into a monster, but the premise was that his consciousness remained as it is now.
On the path of a knight, Levi’s greatest concern was losing his own consciousness entirely and becoming a puppet for some primordial ancestor.
Even with the Breathing Technique Great Fusion, after all the mutations, there would inevitably be risks.
The origin of the Imight remained elusive throughout.
Levi sometimes felt that the path of a knight might be a conspiracy by some powerful entities.
Therefore, he needed to break free and carve out his own path.
The Totemist’s path showed Levi a new world.
“Setting aside the mature wizardry path, my path as a knight should be based on knights, continuously absorbing and learning from the strengths of other transcendent systems, gathering knowledge, while simultaneously refining the Imight’s path. Correcting mistakes promptly and not being confined to a single approach.”
Previously, he had been cultivating experience with single-minded focus, which was not wrong.
The proficiency panel could accomplish many things; for instance, breaking the bloodline restrictions, fusing the strengths of different skills, and creating new abilities.
However, he needed to have first-hand resources first.
The proficiency panel could achieve all of this on the condition that Levi acquired more knowledge and molded that knowledge into skills on the proficiency panel.
Then, the proficiency panel could assess, analyze, and even self-evolve.
Levi had a moment of enlightenment.
The proficiency panel was definitely not static, but how did it evolve?
Levi didn’t understand it in the early stages, but as he progressed to the realm of a Third-Circle Wizard and a Blood Knight, he had a rough guess.
The evolution of the proficiency panel was linked to Levi’s expanding horizons, realms, and the increasing quantity and quality of knowledge he possessed. It adjusted and optimized itself step by step, resembling a growing computer program.
Levi felt a sudden clarity.
He still knew too little.
“Desperate illiteracy”—that phrase perfectly described himself! In the future, he would have to spend more time on research, learning, and broadening his horizons.
It was no wonder that many high-level wizards, after gaining the ability to travel between planes, would choose to leave the Wizard World, risking their lives to explore different worlds. They recorded their observations, experiences, and feelings in various travel logs.
The universe was vast, and the truth was infinite!
Wizards often said, “The true truth is unattainable. Everything wizards do is merely an approach. It’s an endless pursuit that’s always getting closer but never quite reaching.”
The path of a knight was no different. There was no absolutely perfect method. What Levi could do was to use the panel to refine his system as much as possible.
“The road ahead is long; I will seek with my own efforts.” These words from the ancients were so apt. Levi put away “The Tomb of Fireflies.”
“What a good book.”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
“Such a good book belongs to me by right.’
So far, Levi had acquired inherited knowledge from books such as “Book of
Cypher,” “Ruin Hunter Jones’ Treasure Hunting Log,” and “The Book of
Starforge Runes.”
“These are all treasures.”
Levi activated all the arrays in his wizard tower, opening the restrictions as well. He took out the container with Emperor Mu and the set of experimental equipment.
In addition, there was another container containing a large mass of wriggling black asphalt.
These were the toxic microorganisms expelled from Clay’s body after his death.
This type of microorganism was something Clay, the little genius, had developed based on the knowledge of a Totemist.
A low-quality version of the Totem Insect, cultivated by himself using various toxins and materials..
