High-level magic involves forming a constellation by combining seven star maps. Successfully casting it signifies true mastery, marking Ye Chenfeng as a destruction wizard.
Mo Fan shared everything he knew about summoned beasts with Ye Chenfeng. According to him, during dimensional summoning, a mage's consciousness enters a plane beyond their world, wandering rapidly to locate the nearest creatures. With the spiritual strength of a high-level mage, the summoned creatures are generally much stronger.
"The summoning teacher also advised me to use auxiliary tools," Mo Fan added. "Special items can significantly increase the chance of summoning more powerful creatures." Considering Ye Chenfeng's wealth, Mo Fan felt it would be a waste not to use such tools.
However, Ye Chenfeng had his own ideas. Dismissing Mo Fan's advice, he prepared for summoning without auxiliary props. Mo Fan wasn't overly concerned—given Ye Chenfeng's status as a high-level wizard, the creatures he summoned would surely be beyond slave-level monsters.
Calming his mind, Ye Chenfeng connected the stars of the summoning system. Seven colorless stars quickly formed a glowing star track around him. These tracks transformed into threads that shimmered and quivered before slicing through the air like blades, tearing open a portal to another dimension.
Ye Chenfeng's consciousness crossed the dimensional threshold, entering a surreal plane. He soared above a strange continent, the landscape rushing past him like a fast-rewinding reel. As he traversed this realm, he encountered sawtooth devil tigers, steel-clawed bears, and scale-armored beasts—formidable creatures, some even at the warrior level.
Despite these encounters, Ye Chenfeng kept searching. Eventually, he flew over a towering forest and spotted a white figure. His instincts told him this was the one.
Without hesitation, he extended his thoughts, which materialized as ethereal reins, locking onto the creature's neck and halting it midair. The summoned beast thrashed violently, resisting the forceful capture.
"Old Ye!" Mo Fan's voice echoed in Ye Chenfeng's mind. "You're not supposed to enslave the summoned creature! Summoning magic works by forming a mutual agreement, not forcing submission!"
Ye Chenfeng ignored the advice. He focused his spiritual energy, bolstered by his mastery of the Sword of Separation, which had elevated his mental capabilities to the peak of the second spiritual realm. His willpower transformed into bindings, tightly wrapping around the creature and imprinting it with a spiritual mark—a bridge connecting the two dimensions.
When the mark was complete, Ye Chenfeng's consciousness returned to the material world, and the summoning ceremony concluded.
"Old Ye, did you just enslave your summoned beast?" Mo Fan asked, visibly anxious.
"Yes," Ye Chenfeng replied flatly.
Mo Fan was speechless. His bond with his summoned Swift Star Wolf was cooperative and respectful—a stark contrast to Ye Chenfeng's approach. While most summoners treated summoned creatures as disposable tools until advancing to contract summoning, Mo Fan felt uneasy about Ye Chenfeng's method.
Before Mo Fan could say more, Ye Chenfeng activated dimensional summoning to reveal his new beast. A creature about two meters long with white feathers and a sharp beak emerged—a white-feathered peregrine falcon.
Mo Fan's jaw dropped. "Old Ye, are you serious?"
The white-feathered peregrine falcon, though incredibly fast, was infamous for its lack of attack power. It paled in comparison to its black-feathered counterpart, which was larger, stronger, and far more versatile. White-feathered peregrines were known as experts in escape, relying solely on their unmatched speed to evade stronger foes.
"This is exactly what I want," Ye Chenfeng said with a smirk.
"But it's useless! It can't fight or carry heavy loads. Why not summon a general-level beast?" Mo Fan protested, bewildered.
Ye Chenfeng simply smiled, his intentions hidden behind an air of quiet confidence.
