A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 453 God of Law

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled.

"Damn it!" Dosru blurted out a curse, saying, "You little brat, you've got some nerve! You dared to sneak into the library, do you know that only the principal and a few professors are allowed in? Even the tutors aren't allowed in, and you actually—"

“If the principal and the others find out, it will be a serious offense,” Bridal said.

Chao Bufan looked indifferent and said with a smile, "If you don't tell me, no one will know."

Fenrit grinned, put his arm around Chao Bufan's shoulder, and said, "Buddy, don't worry, we'd rather die than tell anyone. But could you tell us what you saw in the library?"

"Want to hear?" Chao Bufan asked with a smile.

"Let's think about it." Bridal and the others nodded in unison, their faces full of excitement.

“Alright! Then I’ll tell you about it.” Chao Bufan paused deliberately before saying, “The world is full of wonders. The types of magic in the library are more than we can imagine. It’s safe to say that what we know about magic right now is just the tip of the iceberg.”

"My homeroom teacher once told me that there is no end to learning magic. After all, there are thousands of different kinds of magic, and no one can learn them all in a lifetime," said Brido.

"Oh~~~"

Chao Bufan sighed softly, looking pained, and said, "It's a pity that I sneaked into the library, but I only stayed for less than a minute before coming out."

"Only stay for a minute? Why don't you stay longer?" Curry asked.

"Do you think I didn't want to? Because the principal was in the library at the time, and he almost found me, so I left the library in a panic," Chao Bufan replied.

"Oh dear, what a pity!" Fenritter said.

"Stop talking, I'm so regretful. Guys, let's get going!"

As he spoke, Chao Bufan ignored the "indignant" looks from Bridal and the others, and continued walking forward.

"Hmph, if you don't want to talk, fine, what's the big deal?" Fenrit muttered and quickly followed. Doslu and Curry exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and followed. Bridal, on the other hand, frowned, deep in thought, and after a moment, caught up with them.

In the distance, a beautiful yet eerie colorful miasma drifted silently through the forest. This miasma was quite peculiar; it formed a neat wall, wisps rising upwards without ever dissipating outwards. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this wasn't miasma at all, but rather a massive, colorful wall. However, this colorful wall exuded an air of mystery, like a colorful waterfall cascading from the heavens, radiating a dazzling, iridescent glow.

The five people arrived before the barrier, pausing to admire its dazzling array of colors.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is the barrier between our Magic Forest and the Black Forest,” Bridal said with a solemn expression.

Yes, this is indeed the barrier between the Magic Forest and the Dark Forest.

Chao Bufan stood in front of the barrier and reached out to touch it. The touch felt real, as if he were touching a solid barrier.

Everyone knows that the other side of the barrier is the Black Forest, and this very wall stands between the Magic Forest and the Black Forest, forming an insurmountable chasm.

Barriers were nothing new to Chao Bufan; in fact, he was intimately familiar with them. What surprised him, however, was the striking similarity between barriers created by magic and those created by Taoist magic. The Nine Great Worlds had maintained their isolation through these barriers, but for some unknown reason, someone had managed to open a passage through one of these barriers single-handedly.

"This is the passage between the Magic Academy and the Dark Magic Academy, and this barrier is the only obstacle between them. If neither side is able to pass through unless they cast the spell together," Bridal continued.

Chao Bufan nodded and tried to push it with force. The barrier was like a solid fortress, indestructible.

"Kid, if you had primordial power, you could easily break through ten or even a hundred barriers, let alone one."

The old man's words suddenly echoed in his mind: "Senior, tell me, how did they manage to create such a powerful barrier?"

"I don't know how they did it, but I'm sure there must be a very powerful entity involved."

"How powerful?" he asked.

"It's hard to say... Since the beginning of time, all other worlds have been destroyed, only the human world remains peaceful. And the magic academy is located in the human world. Although they are isolated from the world, they have not been affected. Kid, from beginning to end, have you never thought about where the students of this magic academy have come from since its establishment?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was taken aback. He hadn't considered the question the old man posed. He remembered Professor Warlock mentioning when he first entered the magic academy that it had existed for thousands of years, and that it had always been isolated from the world, rarely interacting with others. Occasionally, someone would venture out, but that was only under special circumstances. So, given its thousands of years of history, where did these students come from?

"Boy, tell me, what is the highest level of magic?"

“The God of Law,” Chao Bufan replied.

"Since you're a God of Magic, have you ever considered the differences and connections between a God of Magic who cultivates magic and one who cultivates spells?"

"This—" Chao Bufan was stunned again, thinking, "That's right! They're all magic gods, so there must be countless connections between them. 'The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao,' and magic is also an 'eternal Tao.' Whether it's Taoist arts, spells, witchcraft, or magic, their origins all come from witchcraft. After all, witchcraft is the foundation of all arts, and their ultimate goal is to return to their source, just like rivers and lakes eventually return to the sea. Therefore, once magic cultivation reaches the level of a magic god, anything beyond that is the same as spell cultivation." The vast magic academy has a history of thousands of years. Since the magic academy is isolated from the world, many students must have graduated over these thousands of years. Where did they go after graduation?

Chao Bufan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to Bridal, "Bridal, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Bridal asked.
