"You are my nominal disciple, so you don't need to call me Master like other disciples. You can just call me Sorcerer Ancient One."
Ancient One took the tea, took a small sip, and then placed it aside. She pulled out an ancient magic book using spatial magic.
"This is book of the vishanti. Open it, and you will find the Dream Walking Technique you are looking for inside."
"This is book of the vishanti!"
Looking at book of the vishanti in Ancient One's hand, Adam didn't immediately take it. Instead, his eyes darted around, and then he said to Ancient One with a smile:
"Although it's nominal, we are master and disciple after all. I, Adam, value respecting my elders the most. I think I should call you Teacher from now on, and you can just call me Adam."
"If you don't mind, then of course you can."
Ancient One smiled and handed book of the vishanti to Adam.
The closer Adam was to Kamar-Taj, the higher Stephen's survival rate would be in the future. She was naturally happy to see this happen.
Reaching out to take book of the vishanti, Adam didn't open it. Instead, he grinned and handed it back to Ancient One:
"Teacher, my proficiency in magic is too low. I'm afraid even if I see the Dream Walking Technique, I won't be able to learn it.
How about this: you, Teacher, read it and then teach it to me? How does that sound?"
Since the darkhold connects to Chthon's spiritual World, and viewing the darkhold can be influenced by Chthon, then if book of the vishanti connects to the spiritual World of the Vishanti, will viewing book of the vishanti be influenced by the Vishanti?
Although the Vishanti represent the side of justice, some things still need to be guarded against.
His current power is far inferior to those Dimensional Demon Godss. If he were influenced, even if it influenced him towards the side of justice, he would still be unwilling.
Right and wrong, good and evil, should all be judged by his own will. If he were influenced, he would be no different from a puppet.
Therefore, he wanted Ancient One to read it, and then have Ancient One teach it to him, so he could avoid being spiritually influenced by the Vishanti.
In fact, he had also considered before whether to find someone to read the darkhold and then have them teach him the Dream Walking Technique after learning it.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because ordinary people wouldn't be able to learn the Dream Walking Technique even if they read the darkhold; only those who understand magic, like Wanda or Dr. Strange, could.
But such people are hard to find and hard to control, and if such people truly learned the Dream Walking Technique, it might trigger various crises beyond his plan.
Now that the darkhold had become book of the vishanti, it was different.
Moreover, Ancient One had just become his nominal teacher. In terms of magic, how many in this World could compare to Ancient One, and she was already skilled at teaching disciples.
As long as Ancient One learned it, it would only be a matter of time before he learned it.
He also didn't need to worry about what Ancient One would do after learning the Dream Walking Technique; she didn't need the Dream Walking Technique at all and could already travel through the Multiverse.
Now it just depended on whether Ancient One was willing.
"Since you call me Teacher, then I should naturally teach you."
Looking at book of the vishanti handed back to her again, Ancient One revealed a smile that showed she had seen through Adam's thoughts, then nodded and opened book of the vishanti.
Ten minutes later, Ancient One closed book of the vishanti again and pressed her index finger to Adam's glabella:
"This is the Dream Walking Technique. I will give you all my insights as a gift from your teacher."
Feeling all the knowledge and insights about the Dream Walking Technique entering his spiritual World from his glabella, Adam slowly closed his eyes and began to digest it.
Seeing Adam close his eyes, Ancient One stood up and said to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya:
"He might need some time. I have something to attend to and will leave first. Please tell him that he can wander around Kamar-Taj freely after he wakes up."
"Okay."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded.
Two hours later, Adam finally opened his eyes again.
"I owe a huge favor now."
He had already learned the Dream Walking Technique.
And not only the Dream Walking Technique, but he had also initially grasped the basic magic system and magic theory of the Marvel Universe.
The knowledge Ancient One transmitted to his spiritual World was not just the Dream Walking Technique, but also a lot of related basic magic theory knowledge.
Without this basic theoretical knowledge, it would be impossible for him to master it slowly on his own in less than three to five years, even with the assistance of Shadow Clones.
One must know that the Dream Walking Technique is not some basic magic.
However, the Dream Walking Technique taught by Ancient One required borrowing the power of the Vishanti to cast, and he did not want to borrow the power of the Vishanti.
So, after he returned, he would still try to make some modifications to use his own magic to cast this magic.
"Then when my future Master Brother is in trouble, I'll lend him a hand!"
Being able to learn the Dream Walking Technique so quickly, he owed Ancient One a considerable favor.
But after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have anything he could repay Ancient One herself with.
Ancient One, who was already tired of the Sorcerer Supreme's work, would pass on the position of Sorcerer Supreme to Dr. Strange in a few years and then follow Eternity.
Anything he could give, she probably wouldn't need.
So he thought of Dr. Strange.
According to normal development, Dr. Strange of this World would be executed by the Illuminati because he read the darkhold.
Or more accurately, he would be willing to be executed out of guilt because reading the darkhold led to the destruction of another Universe.
If he could change Dr. Strange's fate, it would also be a way to repay Ancient One.
On the other side, Ancient One, who was using the Time Stone to predict the future, suddenly showed a relieved smile on her face.
"The future... has finally changed."
In the countless futures she now saw, most of them were developing in a good direction.
"Then I'll go wander around the library. Now that I have the basic magic knowledge of this World, I can understand those magic books."
After learning of Ancient One's message from Kaguya, Adam stood up and walked out of the hall.
Kamar-Taj's library houses the most comprehensive collection of magic books in this World, making it the best place to study Marvel Universe's magic.
Anyway, he was now Ancient One's nominal disciple, and Ancient One had said he could wander freely.
"Master Brother Adam!"
Seeing Adam push open the door and walk out of the hall, Mordo quickly stepped forward to greet him:
"The Sorcerer Supreme will be back in a while. If you want to go anywhere, I can lead you."
To be honest, he was also very surprised that Adam had suddenly become his Master Brother.
And he found that his Teacher Ancient One also placed an unimaginable amount of importance on this Master Brother Adam.
Just now, she had him, the Master Brother, personally watch here and not allow anyone to enter the hall to disturb.
She also instructed him to take Adam to visit any part of Kamar-Taj he wished to see.
It felt as if she was grooming Adam to be the next Sorcerer Supreme.
