Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out

Chapter 33: Someone from the Upper Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Tian had read many novels in his previous life and quickly understood what the old man meant.

In other words, if he wanted Annie’s strength to continue to increase, he would either have to lower his strength and release a portion of his magic power, or get rid of some of the other mages.

Ye Tian felt that neither of these two methods was a wise choice.

After asking the old man for more details and confirming that he did not miss anything, Ye Tian left the island.

However, Ye Tian did not choose to return. Instead, he continued searching on the surface of the sea. During this period of time, he found six to seven similar islands and summarized all the information to confirm that there was no mistake.

Knowing the reason for the problem, Ye Tian embarked on his return journey.

The best way to solve this problem was to leave this world as soon as possible. That way, he would have enough magic power to replenish himself.

At that time, with Annie’s talent and aptitude, she believed that her strength would quickly increase.

Ye Tian pondered silently.

He had no intention of breaking the seal for the time being.

What a joke. Even if he was really invincible in the Lower Realm, the seals set by the people of the Upper Realm were probably not enough to deal with them.

Not long after, Ye Tian returned home.

“You’re back, Ye Tian.”

Annie, who sensed it, came out immediately, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Ye Tian opened his arms and hugged her.

“I’ve already found the reason why your strength hasn’t improved.”

“Really? What’s the problem?”

Annie raised her head and waited for Ye Tian’s explanation.

Then, Ye Tian told Annie everything he knew.

She knew that it was not her talent, but the restrictions of this world, so she could not improve it.

Annie’s eyes dimmed slightly. She also knew that the Upper Realm was stronger than this world and had more experts.

If Ye Tian had to take a huge risk to break the seal to increase her strength, Annie would rather not improve herself.

Ye Tian rubbed Annie’s head and smiled.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything stupid, but I won’t leave you behind either. Now that we’ve found the problem, there’s always a solution.”

Perhaps it was because Ye Tian’s confident attitude had affected Annie, but she also smiled and looked much more relaxed.

In the following days, Annie continued her cultivation while Ye Tian often went out.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

All these years, Ye Tian had been strengthening himself and searching for a suitable opportunity to break through.

Apart from that, Ye Tian also traveled to every corner of the world in search of various medicinal herbs that could help increase his strength or extend his lifespan and slow down his aging.

Furthermore, Ye Tian had prepared many pills that could increase Annie’s talent. Although she could not cultivate now, there was no mistake in increasing her talent and aptitude.

In the future, when Annie’s strength could increase, with her outstanding talent, she believed that her strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds, leaving others far behind.

On this day, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. The clouds slowly spun, and powerful magical power rippled around them.

The citizens of Maple Forest City stopped and looked up at the strange scene in the sky.

“What’s this?”

It was Annie’s first time seeing him and she was filled with curiosity and confusion. She did not notice the strange expression on Ye Tian’s face.

This was because he had seen this scene before!

Back then, Windsor’s talent was outstanding and she was chosen by the people of the Upper Realm. When she came down to take in a disciple, a similar scene happened.

“Someone from the Upper Realm has come down.”

Ye Tian’s eyes flashed as he replied.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared in the vortex.

When Ye Tian saw it clearly, disappointment flashed across his eyes. He thought that Windsor had returned, but that was not the case.

The figures of a man and a woman hovered in the air, holding a square plate in their hands, as if they were searching for something.

Suddenly, the two of them descended straight toward Maple Forest City and landed at Ye Tian’s residence.

“That’s her!”

Under Ye Tian and Annie’s scrutinizing gazes, the man locked his gaze on Annie, the heat and excitement in his eyes undisguised.

Ever since she followed Ye Tian, Annie had never experienced such gazes. Furthermore, she had become a mage and her strength had increased, so no one dared to look at her like this.

Therefore, facing someone from the Upper Realm, she took a step to the side uneasily and hid behind Ye Tian.

“What can I do for you?” Ye Tian asked calmly.

These two people were probably between the Magister and Great Magister realms, slightly stronger than nine-star Magisters.

However, it did not give him extremely strong pressure. It was probably because they had the strength of a Great Magister in the Upper Realm and were suppressed after coming to the Lower Realm.

Ye Tian quickly analyzed the situation. He was not worried that the two of them would harm Annie.

With his current strength and the Peyroux’s Heart, he could completely unleash strength that surpassed that of a Magister.

“Get out of the way…”

The man’s tone was unfriendly and his eyes were filled with disdain, as though Ye Tian’s appearance would taint his eyes.

Anger flashed across Ye Tian’s eyes.

“Don’t talk.”

At that moment, the woman suddenly berated the man. She walked in front of him and smiled at Ye Tian.

“We don’t have any ill intentions. We came to the Lower Realm this time because we discovered a rather talented seed and want to bring it to the Upper Realm to nurture and teach it.”

‘Again?’

Ye Tian was stunned. Recalling the way the man looked at Annie just now, he realized that he had misunderstood.

He glanced sideways at Annie and asked, “Seed?”

The woman nodded.

“Although the magic power in the Lower Realm is relatively poor, talent and aptitude are not affected by this. Sometimes, when people with greater potential appear, we will come down to take them in as disciples. The woman behind you is our target this time.”

‘Me? The Upper Realm has taken a fancy to me?’

Annie felt like she was in a dream. If she was an 18 or 19-year-old girl, she wouldn’t think it was a problem, because it just so happened that the magic had awakened at that time.

However, she had already cultivated for decades and was already a Great Mage. If not for the restrictions of this world, she might even have become a Magister.

Were they here to take in a disciple because of her talent?

Ye Tian could understand her words because Annie had consumed countless medicines that could increase her talent and aptitude over the years.

Under such circumstances, there was nothing strange about attracting the attention of the Upper Realm.

“If you’re doing this for her own good, you should know very well that you shouldn’t leave her in the Lower Realm. This place has already restricted her growth. If I’m not wrong, her strength hasn’t improved for several years, right?”

The woman’s eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Noticing that Ye Tian was silent, the man said impatiently, “Why are you talking so much to someone from the Lower Realm? It’s her blessing to be chosen by us. Just bring her back.”

The man’s last sentence was said while looking at Annie.
