My Muscle System in the Mage World

405  Mysterious Island, The Mana of the World

As Aur slowly reached out his hand, there was no change in his body, but now he could see the tiny shards in front of his vision for as long as he wanted.

Not only that, but he could manipulate them to some extent using his blood and Qi, though this was extremely taxing and even moving them drained his energy.

Slowly, his parched lips moved:

"Connect."

Then, in front of his crimson eyes, the void slowly revealed itself, and Aur stepped into it casually. The gaseous form of blood and Qi in his body rapidly drained.

Aur then emerged from a kilometre away.

"Unfortunately, I can only cover a kilometre of distance before I drain almost all my blood and Qi."

He scowled; this wasn't really effective in combat, but...

"My connection to the fourth dimension has finally been fully established."

Aur muttered in his heart, the chains binding his entire being was time, and with his comprehension of space magic, even the world has become his homeground neither internally with Time nor externally with Space could he be stopped.

"Unfortunately, it will still take a lot for me to enter the fourth dimension, even with this. I need to either deepen my understanding of this magic or increase my Wizard tier enough for it to no longer be an issue."

A contemplative expression appeared on his face.

He had not forgotten the true purpose of mastering space magic: to expand the space of his system, allowing him to establish it as his own mental space.

This would be an extraordinarily difficult task if he were starting from scratch with his disciple-level mastery of time and space magic.

But he wasn't starting from scratch.

The predecessor had already done most of the work, and they were quite successful too, but they lacked one crucial element that Aur possessed: his system!

The key reason they failed was that the mental space needed to be attached to the soul, which was practically impossible—even for a Tier Eight wizard.

If it were possible, there might be ancient monsters roaming the world in the bodies of the young. This was the core reason higher-tier wizards couldn't occupy a body.

However, Aur knew that this system was entirely integrated with his soul, as if it were a part of his very being.

"It should work—no, it must work," Aur muttered in his heart as he promptly began to work on it.

"Do you have the Ether stone?"

"Umm, about that master, Ether Stones are extremely delicate even if they are packaged to the extreme, but it would still whither with time, so we don't have any Ether Stone." Stella spoke sheepishly.

"I see."

Aur nodded his head. "Then how do we get it?"

At this time, Stella tugged at his sleeves.

"What is it?"

"We can buy Ether Stones if you want a master."

"You can buy it!?" Aur was shocked in his heart; his heart trembled: "Where do you even buy it?"

"The Fourth Dimension." Stella spoke, glancing at the calm expression of Aur.

"How? Tell me?"

Aur was inevitably excited in his heart, but he still managed to make a calm expression in his face with an unchanged expression.

"The fourth dimension is the place where the Tier Seven wizards or higher usually stay, and it is also the dimension where they trade resources with each other."

"Go on." Aur pressed.

"The trade usually happens on an island covered by a dangerous sea that even Tier Eight doesn't dare to cross; you don't have to worry, master; only your soul form can go there, and they trade with each other using it."

"It is said that the human emperor wanted to make that island his own domain and control all the trade flows, but even with his mighty strength, he was not able to harm the island or anyone who went inside; instead, he came out, slightly haggard with light injuries."

"A Tier Nine wizard injured?" Aur raised his brows.

Tier Nine is supposed to be the peak of the world, and there is nothing higher than the Tier Nine; they are supposed to be invincible beings, and only the Human Emperor is the single one who even reached the Tier Nine and was the creator of the Wizard Tiers.

From the story they have been taught since childhood, the Human Emperor is the only one who showed light to the entire human race.

Aur has naturally known the truth: even before this era, there were power systems that humans could use; only in this era were all paths suppressed and the Wizard Tier reigned supreme, with the Fate Palace seemingly destroyed and the laws of the entire world changed.

"This is a secret that not many people know, master; all the bad things about the Human Emperor have been completely suppressed over time; now only some of the old Tier Eight Wizards might know it."

"I see."

Aur nodded his head lightly.

"How do I get there then?" He raised his brows.

If he used his own capability to go there, then he might not even last a few minutes before he would be drained to death.

Even with his Tier Four body and the disciple level understanding of both time and space magic, it was still extraordinarily hard for him to stay in the fourth dimension for long.

This was a dimension that could only be freely accessed by a Tier Seven wizard, and he was a Tier Four; it was already a miracle of how he was able to last that long in the fourth dimension.

"You have to use the mana of this world, Master."

"Mana of this world?" Aur paused with astonished brows.

Then he was soon led through another void before he appeared in the centre of this world.

In front of his eyes, there was almost a thinly connected skin, and inside these skins were small balls of golden orbs, and some of them were a little larger.

Aur's heart palpitated just from its mere presence, shaken to the core. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
