To outsiders, five ancient books on mysticism might seem as obscure and incomprehensible as heavenly scriptures, causing dizziness after just a few glances, but Noah had already memorized all five ancient books in his heart in a short time, which was the talent of photographic memory.
After finishing the books, Noah did not immediately learn any magic, as these books did not record any magic; they were more like foundational texts, documenting mystical knowledge to deepen the understanding of the mysterious World for apprentices about to enter the magic World.
People who come to Kamar-Taj to study are usually ordinary people, exposed to modern science before magic, believing the World is material, and thus find it difficult to easily accept the knowledge of the mysterious World at first.
Therefore, they must read and understand these mystical books to build a foundation before encountering the mysterious World, making it easier for them to accept knowledge from the other side of the World.
"Oh, no, this book, 'The Supreme Codex,' is still quite useful."
The Ancient One gave Noah five ancient books; four were mystical texts, and one was called 'The Supreme Codex,' which, by its name, was clearly related to the Sorcerer Supreme.
After Noah read this book, he found that it was indeed related to the Sorcerer Supreme, as it recorded the deeds of past Sorcerer Supremes and their insights into magic.
"Why isn't the Ancient One in it?" Noah wondered after finishing the book, realizing that this biography of the Sorcerer Supreme did not include the Ancient One.
Could it be that this book only recorded deceased Sorcerer Supremes?
However, this was not Noah's concern; the next time he went to Kamar-Taj, these books could be returned, and then the Ancient One would give him a Suspension Ring, allowing him to learn the skills of Earth's native Marvel magicians.
"However, the Suspension Ring seems to be used to communicate with dimensions and obtain energy; since I already have magic power, I wonder if I still need the Suspension Ring."
In Kamar-Taj, every magician has their own Suspension Ring; they rely on this treasure to use magic, and if their Suspension Ring is taken away, they cannot use magic.
Furthermore, Kamar-Taj's most crucial Teleport magic (in Noah's opinion) also requires wearing a Suspension Ring to be used.
"The Suspension Ring is a bit inconvenient to wear; I'll put it in the equipment slot later."
Noah thought of the Suspension Ring's appearance; it wasn't a single ring but a metal plate fused with two ring loops, making it very inconvenient to wear.
Suspension Ring
However, Noah's equipment slot had been updated before, and equipment placed in it could still function.
Noah hadn't tried whether native Marvel equipment would work in the equipment slot, but he estimated it should be effective, and he could try it after getting the Suspension Ring.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about this."
After reading those books, Noah neatly stacked them aside, then suddenly remembered something.
Noah pulled an item from his backpack: a golden gem with a purple ring, precisely the magic ring named Dark Seal.
Before heading to the New York Sanctum, Noah had taken off this soul-absorbing ring and placed it in his backpack.
Equipment that absorbs human souls to enhance power immediately brings to mind evil and devils.
Noah was worried that wearing this ring to Kamar-Taj would draw attention and cause unnecessary trouble; he was a guest, and he didn't want it to turn into a bloody conflict.
However, if it were the Ancient One, Noah felt she probably wouldn't mind, as she had to borrow dark power for certain reasons, proving that the Ancient One was not a rigid person.
After obtaining the Dark Seal, he hadn't wantonly plundered others' souls but only killed those who deserved to be killed.
As for whether others agreed with Noah's 'deserve to be killed' judgment standard, Noah didn't care.
"I'll go to Kamar-Taj tomorrow."
After tidying up the desk, Noah didn't plan to go to Kamar-Taj immediately; he wasn't in a hurry, as he still had many things to do.
Research, cultivation, and the Void Dimension already occupied most of Noah's daily time.
If Noah wanted to, he could have no free time all day, but of course, he wasn't willing to do that; he wasn't a robot and needed rest.
Next, Noah planned to enter the Void Dimension to expand his territory first.
He should be able to become a Kamar-Taj magician tomorrow, gaining another way to use dimensional power.
Now that he had free time, it was a good opportunity to expand the dimensional area he could control.
"Lissandra, fully seal the Underground Room."
Noah had already arrived at the Underground Room and took out the riftmaker from his backpack.
The staff had completed its consciousness, so there wouldn't be such a big commotion.
Therefore, Noah planned to open the void rift here.
After opening the void rift on the small island last time, Noah didn't find any polluting energy around, but to prevent accidents, Noah still went to the Underground Room, which was entirely made of Vibranium, before taking action.
"Okay, Noah."
In the White room, doors, windows, and air circulation passages were covered with white metal materials, all of which were Vibranium.
The walls were also covered with a layer of blue energy net, which was a magic protection net made with Hex Crystal.
To prevent Noah from worrying about abnormal energy leakage, this place could now be said to be the safest fortress on Earth.
Seeing that the Underground Room was sealed, Noah waved the riftmaker, and magic power flowed through the staff.
Then, a purple eye shot out a beam of light, tearing open a purple rift in the space in front of Noah.
"Hmm, very stable, nothing abnormal happened."
Although the edge of the purple rift kept fluctuating, nothing abnormal happened; it was very stable.
Noah was very satisfied with this situation.
After greeting Lissandra, Noah entered the void again.
"Huh?"
After stepping into the void rift, Noah found that it wasn't the same location as his last entry into the void, because this void beneath his feet was a void that had not been covered by Noah's magic power.
Noah sensed for a moment, trying to perceive the void connected to him.
Vaguely, Noah sensed that area was now located very far to his left.
"It seems that wherever a rift is opened, it will lead to the corresponding void space of that place."
Noah understood after retracting his perception.
The system had said that this Void Dimension, appearing in the Marvel Universe, corresponded to the back of the Universe, and was as large as this Marvel Universe.
And the void beneath his feet corresponded to Earth in the Reality Universe.
"Set a small goal: first, bring the void Earth under control."
Stepping on the purple ground beneath his feet, ripples spread out.
Noah decided to prioritize void matters during this period, but at his previous speed, fully covering the entire Earth would take a very, very long time, as he not only needed to cover the surface area of the Earth but also had to permeate the entire Earth with magic power.
Sitting cross-legged, Noah directly released his magic power, then, while absorbing the Void Energy from the covered ground into his body, he released magic power, entering a state of magic power circulation.
In the White room, Lissandra was recording the energy information of the rift, which might be useful in the future.
At this time, Lissandra was in the Villa with Gwen; the two were watching TV on the sofa, mainly because Gwen liked to watch, and Lissandra was just accompanying Gwen.
"Hmm?"
While Lissandra was distracted, recording the void rift information, she suddenly sensed that something Noah was concerned about was happening.

"Gather over here, the target is ahead!"
In a secret military area, a series of slightly hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Alarms filled the area, and rumbling sounds kept coming from nearby, as if some monster was going berserk.
Teams of fully armed soldiers were rushing to the scene of the accident.
"Shit, Captain, it's not that guy again, is it?"
In the advancing team, a soldier asked the Captain walking at the very front.
On the day of the Abomination incident, their squad was the one that carried out the mission to capture Banner, and they had heard a little about the horror of that monster.
"I don't know, just follow orders from above."
The Captain said, his steps unceasing, preparing to press the open button for the iron door ahead.
"Boom!"
Just then, the massive iron door ahead bulged, as if struck by a giant cannonball.
The reinforcement team instantly stopped, looking ahead with slight horror.
"Boom!!" The iron door was blasted open by immense force.
"Ah!!"
"Da da da!" Machine gun fire continuously rang out.
The scene instantly became chaotic but gradually returned to calm shortly after.
"Hmph!" There was no sound left in the corridor, and a slightly disdainful snort echoed.
