The second method is to build a large altar, amplify one's signal, and carefully search for subtle sounds and energy waves in the cosmic background.
Every life has its own unique sound of breathing, and so does the world.
Every planet or plane of existence has its own "breathing," a sound that normal people cannot hear, but when this sound travels through the universe, it can travel extremely far.
If we can find the sound of these planets breathing, we can locate their world based on the sound.
This method requires a high level of specialized knowledge and a significant amount of time to carefully analyze the sounds from the universe.
After all, the universe contains not only the breathing sounds of planetary worlds, but also various other sounds, each of which is a huge disturbance.
Leo thought about this approach but ultimately rejected it, as he didn't have enough time for careful observation and analysis.
There are also aimless attempts to contact otherworldly beings, like Abigail, the genius wizard who threw Leo onto the altar as a sacrifice.
The Altar Summoning Technique he invented could be completely transformed into witchcraft to contact otherworldly life forms. This method involves altering one's own information and then spreading it throughout the universe in a way that misleads people.
Once a living being on the other side agrees, a spatial connection can be established with the altar. Back then, Benji agreed to make contact with Abigail out of curiosity, and was ultimately conquered by the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard leading his wizard army.
Abigail, this genius wizard, was highly regarded by Leo, but unfortunately, she also died in that rebellion.
However, Leo learned his Altar Summoning Technique, made some improvements, and expanded its range, allowing it to be used to search for unknown worlds.
These are the most common and efficient methods used by Stigmata Wizard. Even if they cannot obtain information about a world, they can still establish contact with otherworldly beings through these methods, thereby conducting a series of transactions and so on.
These are the three most common methods. Of course, there are other methods, but those are the secret techniques of the Stigmata Wizard and they are not told to others.
In the process of wizard advancement, each wizard's abilities are different. Wizards who can reach the level of Stigmata Wizard are geniuses among geniuses. For them, creating some kind of witchcraft with their own unique properties is extremely simple.
In particular, their small teams, schools of thought, and internal communication make some things very simple.
Just like this time, the two major schools directly provided more than 600 worlds. The Stigmata Wizard who joined the schools didn't need to search for any more worlds themselves; they could simply share the fruits of their labor through their own schools.
When Leo decided not to join any school of thought, it was already destined that he would have to work alone.
Besides these three conventional methods, Leo also had some initial ideas about having his own way of exploring and conquering the world.
"You said before in the Shadow World that I could use shadows as a fishhook to fish out the shadows that remain Shadow World,"
"Could we fish out the shadows of life forms existing in this world?"
Leo looked at Yaoyao. His method of finding a valuable world was not any other, but rather he set his sights on the Shadow World.
The Shadow World is the opposite side of the entire universe, which means that valuable planets also leave shadows in the Shadow World. If we can fish out their shadows, wouldn't that be equivalent to finding their locations?
Yaoyao watched as Leo scratched his head with his paw in a very human-like manner, and said uncertainly, "I'm not quite sure either, because I haven't thought about it that way."
"However, it should be feasible according to your idea, but the chances are probably not very high."
"Besides, we can't be watching these shadows all the time in the Shadow World."
Yaoyao is right; they can't stay in the Shadow World for long to observe whether they've caught a useful shadow.
After a moment of contemplation, Leo said, "Last time you used a rope made of shadows to tie me to the Shadow Space. Could we do the same this time, tying the shadow to the Shadow Space Shadow Space and then setting up an alert device inside so that any movement from the shadow will immediately alert us?"
Upon hearing Leo's words, Yaoyao immediately perked up. This was indeed a good idea; regardless of whether it would work or not, there was at least a chance of success.
"It's worth a try. It's like a fixed fishing rod; let those puppets watch over it. They don't need to sleep anyway. Once the shadow catches a life form from another world, it'll immediately come to report."
"How many more free shadows do you have left?" Yaoyao asked Leo.
"After establishing 108 fields, there are still 103 blank areas left," Leo said.
When Leo was at level three, he only Seven Great Domains. But when he became Level Four Stigmata Wizard, the number of shadows increased tenfold, and the number of domains soared to a terrifying 108!
"Then I'll take one hundred shadows to capture valuable worlds, and leave the remaining three shadows to you."
Yaoyao stretched out her claws and grabbed at Leo Leo, pulling out a large mass of shadows. With these shadows in hand, Yaoyao immediately disappeared.
Yaoyao returned from the Shadow World after two busy days, telling Leo that a hundred shadows had been deployed to different locations within the Shadow World. Now, as long as they dealt with the matters within the Shadow Space, their simple fishing operation would be complete!
Leo stepped into the Shadow Space. This was no longer the space with sparse energy as before; the rich energy aura here was several times stronger than that of the Wizard World.
Based on the current energy concentration, Leo can control the rules to unleash twice the power of the domain.
The Shadow Space gave Leo a very strange feeling, a feeling that could not be described in words. If he had to describe it, Leo could only say that it was a feeling that the heavens and earth were all in his favor.
The entire space serves him; here he is the supreme being, and no misfortune will befall him, only good fortune will follow.
However, without the addition of World Lord, there are currently only seven rules within the Shadow Space.
Under Yaoyao's instructions, Leo saw a rope made of a hundred shadows twisted together at the edge of the Shadow Space. They were arranged in order, like fishing rods waiting to be loaded!
Leo ran his fingers across his palm, and blood flowed out.
His bright red palms caressed the ropes made of shadows, letting his blood soak into them.
Blood is the only medium that gives these shadows extraordinary powers.
Once the blood had completely soaked through, Leo slowly addressed the hundred shadows, saying, "This is a mysterious place, a necessary stairway to endless wealth. Here, you will regain everything you have lost."
"Pain, life and death, poverty, resentment, unfulfilled desires, dreams—you can get anything here."
Do you want to escape your current fate?
"Drip your blood into your shadow, and you will open the path to the sacred land."
Leo inputs his seductive, devilish voice into the shadows. When these shadows lure other life forms in the Shadow World, they transmit these voices to them. When these life forms drip their blood into their shadows, a reaction occurs.
He casually summoned Benji.
"From now on, you'll stay here and watch over these ropes. If any of them move, tell me immediately."
The Benji puppet nodded and stood quietly in front of the ropes. As a puppet, as long as Leo didn't die, he could stand here motionless until the end of time.
"As long as we have each other's blood, we can use it as a medium to contact each other," Leo said to Yaoyao with a smile.
Every living being's blood contains its own primordial information. After being dripped into the shadow, even if they don't know how to use energy, they will complete the communication ritual due to the energy input from Leo's side.
"Let's see which lucky guy gets caught by the shadows and gets discovered by us. That will be the honor of his life." Yaoyao looked at the ropes he had personally set up with a mischievous smile. He really hadn't thought it could be played like this.
This may seem like fishing for shadows, but it's actually fishing for the world!
Leo, who returned to the demiplane to continue his studies, collected all the information about cosmic-level treasures. He bought all the information about cosmic-level treasures in the Fate Wizard Book. Although this broadened Leo's horizons, he still couldn't solve the problem of how to perfectly control the black cube module.
Leo even contacted Beast Blood Boiling once midway through the process. In what seemed like a casual chat, it was confirmed that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard was working on the Metal Module, but the progress was extremely slow.
According to the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, it will take him at least five thousand years to emerge from seclusion. The implication is that it will take him five thousand years to fully master the Metal Module.
This shows that this cosmic-level treasure is indeed difficult to control, and has extremely significant side effects.
Even Level-Five Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard would need five thousand years for their Beast Blood Boiling!
This result made Leo even more hesitant to tamper with the black cube module hidden in the shadows.
He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would turn himself into metal and even have his consciousness assimilated!
Leo in the demiplane was completely unaware of the passage of time. Fifty years later, a hundred years after Leo's ascension to the Stigmata, a message suddenly appeared in the Fate Wizard Book.
"According to the rules of the Wizard World, during a war against World Cluster of equal strength, war has priority over any other action."
"By the command of all Supreme Lord, the Wizard World hereby declares war on the Returning Breath World Cluster!"
"The evil Returning Breath World Cluster has defied the Great Wizard Will and must be punished with the cruelest might!"
"Now, according to the Great Wizard Will, the following command is hereby issued:"
"All the Stigmata Wizard have no plans for expeditions within the last hundred years remain silent, awaiting the Supreme Lord's order for war!"
