"I need the Dream Walking Technique from the darkhold."
After two seconds of hesitation, Adam still stated his objective.
He felt that if he wanted to obtain it without resorting to force, he should be sincere; Ancient One would see through any deception.
"Do you know that once the Dream Walking Technique is cast, there is a very high probability that it will cause the destruction of the Universe you are dream-walking in?"
Hearing that Adam wanted the Dream Walking Technique, Ancient One was first stunned, then her expression became solemn.
She had used the Time Stone to foresee many futures, and in these futures, Adam's target was always the darkhold she had sealed away.
However, in all these futures, it never showed what Adam did with the darkhold.
"I know, but Sorcerer Ancient One, you can rest assured, I don't want the Dream Walking Technique to go to other Universes, nor will it cause the destruction of other Universes.
I just want to use its magic principles to do something very important to me."
Adam nodded, then explained.
He was indeed not lying to Ancient One; he intended to use the Dream Walking Technique to enter the World where the protagonist template was located when loading it, not to go to other Universes, nor to cause the destruction of other Universes.
When he loaded a protagonist template, the system could cross different Worlds and dimensions, connecting him to the World where the corresponding protagonist template resided.
During this one-hour connection, if there was a way, he could enter the corresponding World.
His previous entry into the Hokage World was because when loading the Naruto template, after the system broke the dimensional barrier and established a connection, the toads there used the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon him.
Under normal circumstances, neither the Summoning Technique nor the Reverse Summoning Technique could break the barriers of different Worlds for spatial movement.
So Adam speculated that if he could learn the Dream Walking Technique, he could, when loading a protagonist template, use the principle of the Dream Walking Technique, based on the connection established by the system breaking the dimensional barrier, to perform dream-walking.
For example, if he loaded the Naruto template and cast the Dream Walking Technique, he could possess the Naruto in the Hokage World at that time and move around.
Loading the Goku template would allow him to possess Goku, who should currently be participating in the Tenkaichi Budokai and preparing for marriage.
Loading the Harry Potter template would allow him to possess Harry Potter, who had already defeated Lord Voldemort and graduated from Harry Potter.
Loading the Kinomoto Sakura template would allow him to possess Sakura, who was about to start school.
Among them, dream-walking as Naruto and Harry Potter templates had little effect; he could go to the Hokage World directly, which was more convenient than dream-walking.
He had also almost mastered the magic of the Harry Potter World through Lord Voldemort's memories, so it seemed to have little value.
However, as time progressed, new magic might be created.
The main ones were still the Goku and Kinomoto Sakura templates.
Dream-walking as Goku could allow him to directly get better gravity technology from Bulma's father, which was gravity technology that could train combat power to near Super Saiyan levels.
He wouldn't have to worry about gravity technology anymore in the future.
He could also get the Capsule Corp technology incidentally; Capsule Corp technology was also a groundbreaking invention.
In the future, he could gain experience from Goku in learning Kaio-ken and Spirit Bomb, allowing himself to break through more easily as Goku progressed.
Dream-walking as Kinomoto Sakura goes without saying; the magic of Sakura's World was essential for him to learn, especially since there was a reincarnated magician there who had acquired most of Clow Reed's magic memories.
"Even if what you say is true, and I believe you, but as long as you open the darkhold and read its contents, you will inevitably be affected.
Once your spirit is corrupted, you will embark on a divergent path that you absolutely would not want to take now."
After listening to Adam's explanation, the solemnity on Ancient One's face did not disappear.
At this moment, she could feel that Adam was not lying, but she understood the terror of the darkhold even better.
The darkhold was a magic book created by Chthon, and Chthon was one of the most powerful Dimensional Demons; even Dormammu sometimes had to borrow Chthon's power.
Chthon influenced the minds of readers through the darkhold, then used the readers' hands to destroy Universes, devouring the destroyed Universes to enhance his own power.
Even she dared not open the darkhold.
"I know, but I have a way to avoid that."
Adam smiled.
He had naturally thought about this problem; he wasn't confident he could resist Chthon's mental invasion, but he could choose not to open the darkhold in the Marvel Universe.
Taking the darkhold to the Hokage World, opening it there, and learning the Dream Walking Technique from it—he didn't believe Chthon could still affect him.
"Can you tell me what that method is?
If you can truly remain unaffected, I don't mind lending you the darkhold to read."
Ancient One clearly did not believe Adam's method.
Adam thought for a moment, then replied:
"I cannot tell you the specifics, but the general principle is that I will go to a place completely isolated from Chthon's magic, and then open and read the darkhold there."
"Chthon is the strongest Dimensional Demon Gods; even if you go to another Universe, you cannot isolate his power."
Ancient One shook her head, and seeing Adam about to retort, she raised her hand to stop him from continuing:
"Even if you truly isolate Chthon's power, you still won't be able to learn the Dream Walking Technique by reading the darkhold."
"Why?"
Adam raised an eyebrow.
Ancient One poured Adam more tea:
"Do you know why the darkhold can answer all questions in the World?"
Without waiting for Adam to answer, she continued:
"Because the darkhold is inherently connected to Chthon's mind, and Chthon has devoured countless Universes, his mind contains too much knowledge.
So whether it's science, magic, or any difficult problem, when you open the darkhold, Chthon has already read your memories and presented the answer you want on the darkhold.
If you truly isolate Chthon's power, then the darkhold you see will also be blank, and you won't get the answer you want."
"It turns out to be like this."
After listening to Ancient One's explanation, Adam's brows furrowed tightly.
If what Ancient One said was true, then even if he took the darkhold to the Hokage World to read, he still wouldn't be able to learn the Dream Walking Technique.
It could only be said that his understanding of Dimensional Demon Godss was still too limited.
Compared to Ancient One, who had dealt with Dimensional Demon Godss for years, he, who only knew some partial information from his past life memories, was indeed far behind in this area concerning Dimensional Demon Godss.
He didn't suspect Ancient One was lying to him; although his Legilimency couldn't fully affect Ancient One, he could still distinguish truth from falsehood.
"This is troublesome!"
