I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 690: Employment

Cold light bathed the laboratory in successive layers.

Leaning over the experimental table, Jie Ming’s head slowly lifted.

Before him, a multitude of holographic displays hovered silently, immense cascades of data flowing like waterfalls: schematics of fleet compositions, energy circulation simulations, quantum communication blueprints, societal structure charts, homeworld ecological metrics, records of weapon advancements…

Each screen held the paramount secrets of a sixth-level technological civilization.

And now, every one of them had been meticulously dissected.

Swiftly analyzed, then cataloged, and finally settled within his own digital repository.

The laboratory was steeped in a profound quiet, disturbed only by the subtle hum of energy’s passage.

A moment ticked by, and then Jie Ming simply waved his hand.

Rising to his feet, he stretched his shoulders, eliciting faint snaps from his joints.

At this juncture, a hulking black priest emerged, reporting, “Master, the legion has completed its assembly. As per your directive, a grand total of ten billion soldiers were meticulously selected. The detailed roster is right here!”

“Ten billion…”

He softly echoed the newly compiled figure, a surprised quirk lifting his brow. “It’s astonishing how the black giant population has expanded to such numbers without my direct awareness…”

Following his specific orders, these ten billion black giants were not common warriors, but rather exclusively elite cadres exceeding Level 5.

Jie Ming’s gaze fell upon the documentation provided by the black giant priest. Among these ten billion elite fighters above Level 5, individuals at Level 6 numbered in the millions.

At the vanguard of this entire legion stood the black giant king, Molten Mountain, a formidable being who had already attained the seventh-level.

Such an imposing force was now more than sufficient to overwhelm a standard sixth-level technological civilization.

A protracted conflict, a war of attrition, would not even be a consideration.

Jie Ming took a slow, deliberate breath.

Yet, his focus soon deepened once more.

The matters of the legion, precise coordinates, and enemy intelligence had all been settled. This left… but one solitary issue remaining.

He turned, directing his gaze toward the profound depths beneath the surface.

The imposing stone walls appeared as mere illusions before his perception.

His vision penetrated successive layers of reality, finally fixing upon the very heart of the plane.

There, countless elements intertwined, coalescing into the slowly throbbing origin of the plane itself.

The Infernal Sulfur Plane had undergone his extensive modifications numerous times. Even its foundational rules had been interwoven with the Incense Fire Divine Dao system.

However, even with this profound level of dominion, to precisely teleport nearly ten billion black giant soldiers and establish a spatial gateway directly into the void coordinates of another civilization, a critical final component was still lacking.

What was required was a high-tier wizard, one who had achieved true integration with the plane’s origin, to serve as the “navigator.”

In simpler terms, a wizard beyond the sixth-level.

Only individuals of such elevated standing could manipulate the entirety of the world as if it were an extension of their own being.

Jie Ming lightly tapped the surface of the table.

Technically speaking, he already wielded power equivalent to that level.

In terms of raw combat prowess, he was now fully on par with an authentic Level 6 wizard.

The crux of the matter was… he had not yet formally completed the “Law Solidification Ritual.”

While his Dao Integration state offered some measure of assistance in this area, it was ultimately not a complete substitute.

Within the established wizarding hierarchy, his designation remained, unequivocally, Level 5.

“…Merely a single procedural step stands between me and completion.”

After a brief period of contemplation, Jie Ming extended his hand and retrieved the magic network terminal resting beside the experimental apparatus.

The terminal, thin as a shard of crystal, illuminated under his touch. Pale blue runes bloomed outward in concentric circles as the contact list materialized in the air.

His gaze traversed the names, one after another.

Finally, it settled upon a single entry.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Jie Ming initiated a communication request.

A gentle vibration emanated from the terminal.

Mere seconds later, the screen flared to life.

A languid, amused voice was the first to break the silence. “Oh?”

Visible on the screen, Viola was comfortably ensconced in a plush, oversized chair, her chin resting upon her hand.

She had opted against her customary deep blue wizard robes today, instead choosing a lighter, more relaxed ensemble suitable for home.

Her cascade of silver-gray hair flowed over her shoulders, and her eyes, reminiscent of emeralds steeped in fine wine, possessed an inherent, captivating allure.

She regarded Jie Ming, a subtle upward curve gracing the corners of her lips. “It’s hardly been a few days since we last spoke? Reaching out so frequently might easily spark unintended implications.”

Disregarding Viola’s playful jibe, Jie Ming moved directly to his purpose: “Senior Sister, I find myself in need of your assistance.”

Viola’s expression visibly paused for a beat.

Then, the amusement in her eyes intensified. “Oh?”

She adjusted her posture, sitting up straighter. “What could possibly compel you to proactively seek my aid?”

“Let us discuss this in person,”

Jie Ming gestured toward the terminal he held. “I shall grant you spatial access.”

Viola’s eyes widened slightly.

She understood her junior far too well.

If the matter could be resolved with mere words, he would never waste even a single moment.

The fact that he wouldn't even elaborate further over the communication channel spoke volumes…

The potential gains were… immense.

Truly enormous.

A slow smile began to spread across her lips.

“Very well.”

“I find myself with ample free time.”

Raising his hand, Jie Ming etched a complex runic seal into the air.

With permission granted, the space at the laboratory’s core instantly began to shimmer with silver light.

Spatial layers were precisely peeled back, revealing a stable, near-perfect teleportation channel forming gradually.

In the very next second.

A figure shot out from the teleportation array.

Viola’s feet lifted off the ground as she emerged, maintaining her nonchalant pose, floating from the array.

She landed with grace, her long hair drifting lazily, and took in her surroundings.

“It’s true, though we’ve been in contact, it feels like ages since I last stepped foot in your laboratory.”

She strolled with her hands clasped behind her back, as if on a grand tour of a museum.

“The displays here are becoming exponentially more impressive.”

Jie Ming offered no reply. Instead, he proceeded to recount the events of the past few days in detail.

As he spoke, the smile on Viola’s face began to fade.

Upon hearing the phrase “enemy attack detected,” her left eye visibly twitched.

Upon hearing “an entire fleet perfectly captured,” a slight frown creased her brow.

And by the time she heard “complete homeworld coordinates obtained”…

She fell completely silent.

The laboratory was filled with silence for several seconds.

Then, Viola slowly lifted her head.

“Jie Ming.”

For the first time, she uttered his name with a tone of profound seriousness.

“Do you have any idea how a typical Level 6 wizard usually detects alien civilizations?”

“If my memory serves me correctly,” Jie Ming responded, “they typically integrate their specialized laws with the plane’s origin, then scour the boundless chaotic void for regions that resonate strongly with them.”

“The search cycle?”

“Anywhere from a few decades to over a millennium.”

“And then?”

“I’m not entirely certain. I haven’t delved deeply into that aspect.”

Viola crossed her arms, fixing her gaze upon him. “After locating them, they still need to assess capabilities, devise invasion strategies, secure federal authorization, and assemble an expeditionary force. The entire process generally takes centuries before any form of conflict can even commence.”

Her voice grew increasingly incredulous as she spoke.

Ultimately, she found herself unable to suppress a laugh.

“And you?”

She extended a slender finger, pressing it firmly against Jie Ming’s shoulder.

“An entire sixth-level civilization just stumbled right into your backyard.”

“Delivering a complete fleet, a full database, and exact homeworld coordinates, only to be utterly apprehended by you, single-handedly.”

Viola paused for two seconds.

“Do you realize how many ancient powerhouses would be driven mad with envy if this news were to spread?”

Jie Ming considered the question with genuine reflection.

“It was indeed quite fortunate.”

The air grew heavy with silence.

In the next moment.

Viola erupted into laughter.

“Quite fortunate?”

Clutching her forehead, she laughed so heartily her shoulders shook.

She continued laughing for a solid ten seconds or more before finally regaining her breath. Her expression suddenly turned fierce, and she lunged directly at Jie Ming!

“I’m going to bite you to death!”

“Waaaah!!! Help!!!”

After circling his laboratory several more times, Jie Ming finally seized an opportunity to pull the
