Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 230 Returning Home! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

midair.

Li Wei unleashed his inner power recklessly until a cool liquid suddenly flowed through his blood, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

Li Wei's anger slowly dissipated. He gasped for breath, and the massive dragon warrior and the true form of the Wrathful Dragon Lord gradually faded away.

"Phew, the [Water of Tranquility] reserved in the blood sac worked. I should try to use this special effect of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable sparingly in the future..."

To prevent himself from remaining in the state of the Wrathful Dragon Lord for too long and becoming a complete madman.

Li Wei had previously refined a three-ring potion called the Water of Tranquility, which was stored in his blood sac.

This potion is an essential item used by some wizards to prevent them from going astray in their cultivation, and it can also have a strong effect on calming the mind and spirit.

In retrospect, the results are excellent.

Once Li Wei's body reaches a certain critical point, the drug will be automatically released to suppress this madness and rage.

"Make more for future use."

He glanced at Old John's storage items in his hand, and saw that there weren't many items.

"What a loss..." Li Wei was somewhat annoyed. He didn't want to reveal his strength, but in the previous situation, if he didn't, he might have faced life-threatening danger.

When Li Wei had almost fully recovered.

distance.

The two fourth-circle wizards then came to Li Wei's side.

This also serves as a way of showing respect to Li Wei, letting him know that they have no ill intentions and will not take advantage of his vulnerability.

"Lord Levi is truly a man of few words," Sparrow said with a smile. "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sparrow, the captain of the enforcement team at the Black Pearl Wizarding Market. This is Varil. If you frequently attend the Black Pearl Wizarding Market, you must already know him."

Varil nodded and said, "I have some potions here that help you recover your strength faster. Would you like some?"

Li Wei's strength had earned the respect of these two, so they did not treat him with the condescending attitude of a fourth-ring wizard facing a third-ring wizard, but rather regarded him as an equal.

"No need, thank you, about this matter..."

"We understand. We are independent cultivators with no powerful backers in this world. Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know. We brothers naturally understand this," Sparrow replied with a smile.

Li Wei looked grateful and said, "Thank you both very much. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have dared to fight against a level four demon. However, it seems that it wasn't a level four demon at all, but just an avatar..."

"Yes, even an avatar is so troublesome. This guy's true form must be a fifth-ring demon, or even a high-ranking demon comparable to a Yuanhun wizard. In the Abyss, this is an absolute powerhouse. Such a being has actually appeared in our Black Pearl Wizard Market. We must report this to Lord Garcia when he returns," Sparrow said, his expression grave.

"However, if Lord Levi doesn't like to be exposed, and you don't mind, Sparrow and I will say that we killed him together. That would be taking credit for something, and we're afraid it would make you uncomfortable," Valier said.

"That's even better. I just want to find a quiet place to cultivate, without causing trouble or having any malicious intent. I just don't want to be disturbed. I hope you two understand," Li Wei said with a smile.

"I understand, Lord Levi. May I ask if you are a member of the Dragonborn Order?" Sparrow asked.

Li Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm not, maybe I will be in the future. Right now, I'm just an unknown dragonborn wizard."

He now realizes that he can create the persona of a dragonborn wizard and a body-refining wizard in the future. The knight's cultivation to this level is too shocking, and no one would believe it if he said it. There has never been a person like Li Wei in the previous history.

Moreover, having reached his current level and possessing five dragon breathing techniques, Li Wei is essentially no different from a dragon descendant, and calling him a dragon descendant is perfectly acceptable.

"Oh, I see. I know a senior member of the Dragonborn Order. If you'd like to join the Dragonborn Order, I can recommend you to him," Sparrow said.

Li Wei shook his head: "No need for now, thank you for your kindness, Lord Sparrow. By the way, who is this senior? Would you mind telling me?"

"Lady Blue Dragon is currently the lord of Stromgarde City. She is a high-ranking member of the Dragonborn Order and is destined to become a Soul Wizard in the future," Sparrow said.

Li Wei thought to himself that it was a good thing he had refused. If he went to Stromgarde City now, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?

While Lady Blue Dragon may not be as evil as Soret, she is certainly no pushover either.

In Levy’s view, if Huffman really is dead, both the Blue Dragon and Soret bear responsibility.

"Gentlemen, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. If you need any potions made in the future, please feel free to come and find me."

Having already revealed his strength to these two people, Li Wei had no choice. He couldn't very well kill them, and besides, he didn't have the power to kill them, nor could he force them to sign a confidentiality agreement.

I might as well go with the flow and take this opportunity to make some good connections. This way, I can build a good relationship with the higher-ups at the Black Pearl Market, which will make things easier for me in the future.

"No problem, Lord Levi... By the way, I'll have my men prepare a new wizard tower for you," Varil said, watching Levi walk away.

Thank you.

……

A month later.

Garcia rushed back from the Sea of ​​Stars, arriving at the Wizarding Market, travel-worn and exhausted.

Upon hearing about the demon's rampage in the market, he immediately convened a meeting of the Four Black Pearl Witches.

The five wizards sat together, discussing an important matter.

"That demon has been completely dealt with, right? That thing is the most troublesome, with unpredictable and varied abilities, making it impossible to defend against," Garcia asked.

"My lord, we saw the demon vanish into thin air with our own eyes, and we then conducted another inspection of the entire market. The demon should be completely dead," Sparrow said.

"That's good. This demon's origins are strange and intriguing," Garcia mused.

"My lord, in my opinion, that demon is definitely connected to Soret. Without a doubt, the Thunder Dragon family is determined to take over our market. Not only that, they want to undermine our foundation by poaching all our low-level wizards and third-ring wizards!" Sparrow said angrily.

"Sparrow, there's no evidence yet, so don't make things up," Garcia said.

"My lord, what evidence is needed? Anyone with eyes can see it."

"In short, don't jump to conclusions without evidence. Otherwise, if someone finds fault with you and accuses you of slander and insult, you'll fall into their trap and give them an excuse to attack. It's not impossible for the guilty party to accuse you first... After all, colluding with demons and joining the abyss is a grave crime of betraying the entire wizarding civilization. If it's made public, even many dark wizards will ridicule this person," Garcia said calmly.

"What you say makes sense, sir. I was too hasty. Sigh, I just can't swallow this anger." Sparrow's anger burned as he thought of those who were killed by demons.

He was a rogue cultivator who grew up in the Black Pearl Wizard Market, and he still had some affection for this place.

"If those people want to leave, there's nothing we can do. The market was originally a trading hub for independent cultivators, without many constraints and rules. That was the original intention behind the establishment of our Black Pearl Wizard Market. If the Thunder Dragon family insists on having this market, then so be it."

If the four of you want to follow the Thunder Dragon Clan, I won't stop you. I, Garcia, have already exhausted all my efforts, luck, and potential to cultivate to the Fifth Realm. As for achieving the Yuan Soul, the hope is slim.

Perhaps for you, the Thunder Dragon Clan is also a good destination. Soret is the most likely person in the Thunder Dragon Clan to break through to the Yuan Soul realm in thousands of years. There is basically no problem for him to achieve the Yuan Soul realm in the future. If you follow him, you may be able to go even further.

As for me, I intend to travel to the Sea of ​​Stars to establish a true wizarding organization and continue my legacy.

Garcia said.

"My lord, no matter how destitute I, Sparrow, become in this life, even if I am so poor that I don't have a single stone, I will never join any wizarding family!" Sparrow said resolutely.

"We, the Four Black Pearl Witches, have always stood together through thick and thin. If you don't mind, sir, the four of us can join your wizarding organization," Varil said.

"The idea of ​​establishing a wizarding organization is excellent. If we want to further enhance our strength, the loose wizarding marketplace is no longer sufficient. We definitely need to establish a wizarding organization so that more low-level wizards can collect resources, while we provide knowledge and protection, thus creating a virtuous cycle," Sparrow said.

"That makes sense. I want to establish a real wizarding organization similar to an academy, and then recruit wizards from various schools of thought who excel in research, whether they are from popular or niche schools. As long as they have the ability, they can join and become teachers in the academy..."

Garcia explained his vision, which, in general, added some details and improvements to the traditional wizarding organization system to prevent the academy from becoming distorted and turning into something like a wizarding family in the later stages of its development.

Sparrow and Valier nodded in agreement and began discussing their plan to leave the Fifth District and head to the Sea of ​​Stars.

……

A month later.

Inside the Wizard's Tower, Li Wei looked at his new home and felt a surge of emotions.

He originally intended to leave the Black Pearl Wizard Market, but after thinking about it, he realized that in the current situation, the situation would likely be the same anywhere else, and wouldn't be much better.

So he settled down in the Black Pearl Wizarding Market.

As Varian said, Levi regained his own wizard tower and territory in another place halfway up the mountain.

This was given to Levi by Varian as a reward for Levi's secret killing of the demon.

"It's a pity that it won't be as convenient to visit Lao Sha's house anymore."

After moving to his new home, Li Wei remembered Lao Sha, who was still living there.

The new house is quite far from the old place, but at the speed of a third-ring wizard, it's only a few minutes' distance.

"After the battle with that level four demon, it's clear that in my current state as the Wrathful Dragon Venerable, relying on the accumulation of polygonal attributes, I now possess the strength to fight against a level four wizard."

Of course, it was only the initial confrontation. That level four demon was merely an avatar, and its power was almost exhausted. If it hadn't dissipated on its own in the end, I might have gone mad and still wouldn't have been able to completely kill it.

After all, as things stand now, if I didn't have the polygon panel, my Bloodborne Transformation 1 level would only be comparable to a regular 3rd Ring wizard. To be comparable to a 4th Ring wizard, I would need Bloodborne Transformation 3 or higher.

Once my Five Dimensions Breathing Technique advances to the Blood Source Second Transformation realm, I should have the strength and confidence to contend with ordinary fourth-ring wizards under normal circumstances. With the addition of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable and the Dragon Warrior, I should be able to kill ordinary fourth-ring wizards relatively easily in close combat.

Li Wei analyzed the course of the battle.

He used this level four demon to basically determine the limits of his current strength.

"But I still can't be arrogant, after all, I can't use the Wrathful Dragon Venerable state too often," Li Wei warned himself.

As for Old John's storage bag, it didn't contain much; most of it consisted of relatively inexpensive potion materials.

Besides these, there were over 60,000 taels of silver, some potion recipes and magical knowledge, as well as an old John's beloved magical artifact, which Levi also planned to get rid of when he had the chance.

……

The next day.

Levi continued his research on purification potions at home. For materials like cherry tomatoes, which didn't exist in the wizarding world at all, Levi couldn't analyze their components and compare them with herbs from the wizarding world to find targeted solutions.

He could only rely on his own associations and guesses, combined with the effects of herbs already known in the wizarding world, to try them one by one.

This was undoubtedly a painstaking and laborious task, but Li Weile enjoyed it.

Even if the research on the purification agent ultimately fails, he can still gain and accumulate a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in medicine.

These are all hidden assets.

Just now.

Old Sha's voice came from outside the door.

"Li Wei, are you home?"

With a thought from Li Wei, the door opened automatically, and the magic array also cleared a path for Lao Sha.

Old Sha walked in, looking dejected. Argenta silently poured him his favorite wine.

"Thank you, Argenta." Old Sha picked up his drink and drank it in silence.

"Sigh, old John is gone just like that. He was the first friend I made when I first came to this wizarding market. Back then, we were just wizarding apprentices," Old Sand said with a sigh.

"Please accept my condolences, Old Sha." Li Wei also took a glass of wine and gulped it down.

"We're still not strong enough..." Old Sha was deeply affected by Old John's death.

The practice of a wizard is inherently solitary, and having a true old friend is not an easy thing.

"Li Wei, I heard that the Black Pearl Wizard Market is going to be acquired by the Thunder Dragon Family. It will become one of the Thunder Dragon Family's bases. Lord Garcia is leaving the Wizard Market, and in his place, a fifth-circle wizard from the Thunder Dragon Family will be stationed here," Old Sha suddenly said.

"Is this news true?" Li Wei frowned slightly.

"This news is circulating everywhere, so it's probably true. Garcia and the Black Pearl Four Witches haven't come out to deny it. As far as I know, several fourth-ring wizards have already left the Black Pearl Wizarding Market and gone to other places," Old Sha said.

"Well... I just got here, I haven't even had a chance to warm up yet," Li Wei said with a wry smile.

"There's no way around it. In recent years, the wizarding world has become increasingly chaotic. Many wizarding families have taken advantage of the chaos to acquire and merge with smaller wizarding organizations or markets to strengthen their own family's power."

As you know, there has always been conflict between the traditional wizarding family system and the emerging wizarding organization system.

Some large wizarding families have long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Wizarding Council, because many of the council's reforms and innovations have affected their interests.

It is said that those legendary wizards of the old guard are the heads of some of the top wizarding families in the wizarding world today, so you can understand why some people don't want the war to end.

Some powerful figures are profiting from the war, and even legendary wizards are not immune to it. You can imagine what's going on.

This is actually normal. Everyone looks out for themselves, and this is especially true for wizards. At the beginning of the Council, many of the actions of the wizard ancestor Sauron won the favor of many lower-level wizards, but undoubtedly also touched the vested interests of a small group of upper-level wizards.

Before Sauron disappeared, his status as the progenitor of wizards was enough to deter other high-ranking wizards from acting recklessly.

But that's no longer the case. Sauron is an ancient being, and he has most likely perished in a foreign land. Even legendary wizards, unless they truly ascend to godhood, have a lifespan of only ten thousand years, and their influence has long since faded.

I have a feeling that we can just enjoy our peaceful days, one day at a time.

Old Sha sighed.

The wizards divided the history of wizarding civilization into two phases, with the establishment of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council as a turning point.

Before the establishment of the parliament was the ancient era, and afterward was the recent and contemporary era ruled by the parliament.

Old Sha is quite knowledgeable in this area. He enjoys studying the history of wizarding civilization in his spare time and highly admires Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, and his ideas.

"So, what are your plans next?" Li Wei asked.

"I'm also leaving this Black Pearl Wizard Market. I'll most likely head to the Starry Sea to see if I can get an interview to join a high-level wizard organization." Old Sha was very uncertain. High-level wizard organizations, especially those in the Starry Sea, have very high requirements. With his qualifications and age, his chances were slim.

"The Sea of ​​Stars?"

"Yes, in the beginning, the Starry Sea was also called the Sea of ​​Six Towers. The six towers were the rulers of the Starry Sea. Later, in order to make it easier to manage the Endless Sea, under the leadership of the Wizard Council, the six towers formed the Tower of Stars. However, the structure of the six towers still exists to this day, becoming the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Tower of Stars."

"That's good. There are more opportunities in the Starry Sea," Li Wei said.

Li Wei had also heard of the six towers that make up the Tower of Stars, one of which was the famous Seven Waters Tower.

It is said that the Black Sun Tower was once one of the six towers, but Adam the Black Sun led the Black Sun Tower in a rebellion a long time ago, and it was removed from the list of the Tower of Stars.

It is said that each of the six towers is guarded by an eighth-ring Yuanhun Wizard, and in history, even a ninth-ring Grand Wizard has been born.

"Aren't you planning to go?" Old Sha asked.

"I'm not going for now." Li Wei shook his head; he wasn't ready to head to the Starry Sea yet.

If he can't stay here any longer, then he'll go to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm and see if he can return to the human world through a spatial node.

If possible, it would be better to go and hide in the human world for a while. Moving back and forth between the wizarding world is not a solution.

If we can't go to the human world, we'll make other plans.

"Alright, then if you ever go to the Starry Sea, we'll find a way to get in touch, Li Wei, my friend."

Old Sha hugged Li Wei, and Li Wei patted Old Sha on the shoulder with a strange expression.

Li Wei hadn't encountered this way of expressing emotions in a long time.

Wizards are always wary of each other, and even when they are friends, their friendship is reserved.

"Goodbye, Old Sha, have a safe journey and may your future be bright in the Starry Sea." Li Wei sincerely offered his blessings.

Old Sha nodded and left.

The next day, after packing his belongings, Old Sha left the Black Pearl Wizard Market.

Li Wei's only friend here, with whom he could truly connect, has also left.

As they parted, Li Wei watched Lao Sha's departing figure and felt a pang of emotion.

"This is the norm in life."

After seeing Lao Sha off, Li Wei returned home.

On the path in front of the Wizard's Tower, where wildflowers bloom, stood a wizard in a blue robe—it was none other than Sparrow the Wizard.

"Lord Levi, you're finally back," Sparrow said.

"Lord Sparrow, what can I do for you? Please come in and have a seat," Li Wei said.

The white wolf maid brewed the medicinal tea that Li Wei had grown himself.

"Lord Sparrow, please try this tea. Although it is bitter, it is quite good for cultivation," Li Wei said with a smile.

Sparrow nodded, took a small sip, but clearly didn't drink it.

"Excellent tea," he exclaimed sincerely.

"Speak, Your Excellency Sparrow," Levi said, looking at Sparrow.

"It is so, as you have probably heard, Lord Levi, the Thunder Dragon family intends to acquire the Black Pearl Wizard Market."

"Yes."

"Then I'll get straight to the point. On behalf of Wizard Garcia, I invite you to join the Starfire Wizarding Academy as the Dean of the Potion Academy. As Dean, you will receive a reward of 10,000 Talcos every ten years," Sparrow said.

"Spark Wizarding Academy?"

"That's right. Lord Garcia wants to establish an academy-type wizarding organization, and we, the Four Black Pearl Wizards, have already joined it. However, we are currently short of manpower, so we are recruiting talent at this stage," Sparrow said.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is the Wizarding Academy located?"

"The Starry Sea is the most prosperous place in our Endless Sea Wizarding Civilization. There are currently more than sixty high-level wizarding organizations in the Endless Sea, and nearly half of them are concentrated in the Starry Sea. That is the stage for mid-to-high-level wizards to display their talents," Sparrow said.

"Lord Sparrow, I have some matters to attend to and cannot travel to the Starry Sea for the time being. I will come to the Starry Sea to find you after I am done. If there are any vacancies in your academy at that time, please arrange a teaching position in pharmacy for me. With my abilities, I am afraid I am not qualified to serve as the dean," Li Wei said with a smile.

Sparrow thought about it, and Levi's answer was within his expectations. After all, he could tell that Levi's personality didn't really like joining a wizarding organization.

He was already very satisfied with the promise he received from Li Wei regarding the future.

"However, I have a friend named Xavier who has already gone to the Starry Sea. When the time comes, Lord Sparrow can look for him in the Starry Sea. With his knowledge of weapon crafting, he should be qualified to serve as a weapon crafting instructor at the Wizarding Academy."

"I know Xavier. I was going to ask him about it, but I didn't expect he had already left." Sparrow said with some helplessness.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Hope we meet again in the Starry Sea if fate allows." Sparrow left with satisfaction.

The doors of the wizard's tower slowly closed, and Li Wei drank tea alone.

"They've all gone to the Starry Sea. No wonder everyone says the Starry Sea is a place to pursue dreams. Speaking of which, Salman, the founder of the Grey Tower, the Knight of Flowers, the Rose Witch, and Newt the Wizard are all in the Starry Sea."

"But now the war is raging across the endless sea, and even if I go to the Starry Sea, I might still be struck by a disaster. I'd better not go and join the fray for now."

……

The year 1081 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The Thunder Dragon family has officially announced the acquisition of the Black Pearl Wizard Market and will take over the area within a month.

Upon hearing this news, some were happy while others were sad.

Most of the mid-level wizards have left; those who can cultivate to this level generally do not like to be bound by wizard families.

As for low-level wizards and wizard apprentices, they had nowhere else to go and could only continue to stay here.

For them, it didn't matter where they went in this inner sea area; they were all low-level wizards, being ordered around by others.

However, if they were asked to go to the outer sea where elemental power was scarce, they would be reluctant to leave the excellent cultivation environment there.

Unlike people like Li Wei who have a proficiency panel, these low-level wizards with average talent and no resources or background must try their best to increase their cultivation speed in order to break through to a higher realm in their lifetime.

Livy's wizard tower is now completely empty.

The Mink Tribe had packed everything up and stored it in Alice's ring.

"I'm gone."

Levi threw out the Flying Shark.

Coron piloted the airship and quickly left Black Pearl Island, heading towards the sixth district of the inner ring sea.

Just then.

A giant magical airship, about a kilometer long, pierced through the clouds high in the sky, casting a huge shadow over the sea, creating an oppressive atmosphere!

This is the top-of-the-line civilian magic airship developed by the Seven Water Towers, the "Cloud Whale 380".

Compared to this, Livy's magical airship is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

On the side of the Narwhal, there is a ferocious, roaring purple thunder dragon with wings that blot out the sky, with endless lightning falling from the sky and destroying the world.

This is the emblem of the Thunder Dragon family, revealing their arrogant and powerful family style.

Li Wei withdrew his gaze, and the Flying Shark quickly left the horizon, turning into a glimmer of light.

On the massive Cloud Whale, a fifth-ring wizard gazed indifferently at the departing magic airship.

He is Rex's father, the oldest member of the Thunder family, and the Thunder Blade Terrell.

"In a turbulent era, ants are exhausted and at a loss, while only the strong can do as they please."

Terrell sighed, completely unaware that the ant who had just fled for his life was the murderer who killed his beloved son Rex.

The Cloud Whale slowly descended above the city's protective array.

The grand formation slowly opened, allowing the Cloud Whale to enter.

Terrell strode in, surrounded by a squad of mid-level wizards.

Opposite him stood a white-robed wizard with an aged yet kind face, Garcia.

Behind Garcia, four fourth-tier wizards stood expressionless, while Sparrow clenched his fists and remained silent with his head bowed.

"Lord Terrell, I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to hand over the work," Garcia said with a smile.

"Black Pearl Boy, you made a wise choice. The Black Pearl Wizard Market has a history of thousands of years. At its peak, a sixth-ring Elemental Soul Wizard even appeared here. But now, it has declined and is no longer as prosperous as it once was."

"We, the Thunder Dragon family, are here to change this situation. I believe that under the leadership of the Thunder Dragon family, the future of the Black Pearl Wizard Market will definitely be better than it is now," Terrell said loudly, and the wizards of the Thunder Dragon family behind him applauded.

Among the crowd in the city, some people began to applaud, cheer, and jump for joy.

"The Thunder Dragon Family!"

"The Thunder Dragon Family!"

Sparrow watched all this with a chill in his heart, while Valier whispered in his ear.

"Sparrow, don't forget, nothing is more important than living."

"I'm fine, Varil."

Garcia's aged voice rang out: "From this day forward, the Black Pearl Wizard Market will be managed by the Thunder Dragon family."

He didn't say much. He started his business from here and became the Black Pearl Boy who made a comeback in the legendary story.

But now, he's leaving.

"Let's go."

"Garcia said, and then flew off without looking back," he said.

Sparrow glanced at Terrell, and then, urged by Valier, quickly left.

The remaining two of the Black Pearl Four Witches remained rooted to the spot, motionless.

Sparrow and Valier's expressions changed, and they asked, "Crow, Monet, what do you two mean by this?"

"I'm sorry, Sparrow, we've thought about it and decided not to leave. We can't bear to leave here." Crowe's smile was bitter, clearly indicating that he had something difficult to say.

"I hope that you two, together with Lord Garcia, will go further and further on the path of pursuing truth. I think the future vision of a wizarding civilization like Gensokyo that Lord Garcia depicted is really good, and I look forward to seeing that day," Monet said.

"You..." Sparrow looked at Terrell, the old man with a half-smile on his face, clearly extremely smug.

"Let's go. Everyone has their own ambitions. Don't force things," Garcia's calm voice came from ahead.

Sparrow and Varil quickly followed and disappeared into the horizon.

"Crow, Monet, you won't regret following our Thunder Dragon family," Terrell said.

"Thank you for taking me in, sir."

A month later.

The Thunder Dragon family completely took over the Black Pearl Wizard Gathering, named it "Pearl Island," and built the Thunder Dragon family's wizard tower on it, stationing their wizard team there.

……

Having left the Black Pearl Market and acquired the Flying Shark, Li Wei arrived at the familiar Sixth District in just half a month.

He didn't go to Stromgarde City, but went directly to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

The once-thriving Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm was transformed into a forbidden land by the demonic energy of the Thousand-Eyed Lord, where demons roamed freely.

However, as time passed, and with the efforts of the demon hunters of Stromgarde City, Li Wei has not seen a single demon in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

A beautiful witch sat in a magical airship, leading the way for Livy.

"Senior, that subspace node is quite close to the center of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, so there might be some powerful monsters left behind. You must be careful," said the messenger, Eve.

Eve now holds Livy in even greater respect and admiration than before.

Some time ago, while conducting research experiments on purification agents, Li Wei inadvertently discovered a special agent formula.

While this potion formula cannot achieve the purification effect that Li Wei needs, it can barely remove some of the aftereffects of spellcasting.

After Li Wei's experiment, the potion proved to be very effective. Then, after he gave the potion to the owl, Miss Eve miraculously turned back to normal.

Livy called this potion "Eve's Water".

The invention of Eve's Water excited Levi for quite some time.

Even more excited than Li Wei was Eve, who could finally start a new life.

After all, in her owl form, she could only perform simple spells and couldn't meditate, so her cultivation stagnated.

Not long after, Li Wei, led by Eve, arrived at the coordinates of the Naya space node.

This subspace node is located in a group of underwater volcanoes.

Countless magma erupted, solidified on the seabed, billowing white smoke filled the air, and the air reeked of sulfur.

"Such a large-scale fiery land is quite suitable for practicing combustion-based magic," Eve said.

"The fire elemental power here has been mixed with demonic energy from the Demon Lord. If one were to cultivate here, one would inevitably suffer a qi deviation," Li Wei said, shaking his head.

"I see... Senior, the subspace node is on the seabed plain ahead," Eve reminded her.

She had been passing by when she sent a message and sensed the strong fire elemental power in this sea area. Remembering that she was still missing a Crimson Fire Grass, she came down to look for it. Little did she expect that she would encounter a wild subspace node.

Li Wei arrived at the plain Eve had described, and then his expression faltered slightly.

There was no plain in sight, only a huge pit, probably nearly a thousand miles in diameter, filled with extremely hot magma.

Although it's also subterranean fire, its temperature is several times higher than that of the subterranean fire on Blackfire Island.

"Huh, where did that huge plain go... What's this huge pit? Senior, I'm not lying to you, this is the subspace node!" Eve's expression changed, clearly very anxious, worried that Levi would take his anger out on her.

"Don't panic, this should be the place." Li Wei pondered for a moment, then called Joan out of the Alice Ring.

"Senior... Ouch, it's so hot!" Before Qiao An could even flatter Li Wei, she discovered the boundless ocean of lava in the deep pit ahead. In this boundless seabed, there actually existed such a magical place.

"Joan, use your knowledge as a relic hunter to determine if this deep pit was once the site of an ancient relic."

"Okay, senior, let me take a look." A glint of light flickered in Qiao An's eyes. In his world, the omnipresent magnetic force operated in a regular manner, while in the deep pit, the magnetic force was chaotic and disordered.

After a long silence, Joan said with a grave expression, "Senior, there seem to be traces of ancient wizarding relics here. Judging from the magnetic field, space here seems to be distorted somewhere. Moreover, I sensed strong magical fluctuations in this sea of ​​magma... This is not naturally formed; it is man-made."

Li Wei nodded and said, "It seems that this is the ancient wizard's ruins where the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was once sealed."

"What? Isn't this place very dangerous? Senior, let's leave quickly," Eve said.

"It's alright. From my perception, there are no demons left in this Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm. The demons have either been killed or have infiltrated the wizards' settlement. They won't stay here obediently."

This deep pit was likely formed after the legendary forbidden technique struck the Abyss Well. The legendary forbidden technique altered the landscape here, turning the plain into a deep pit, and the lava also gushed out, submerging this place.

"You two go into the ring. I'm going into the ocean of lava. With your cultivation levels, you won't last a minute before you're burned to ashes," Li Wei said.

"Okay, be careful, senior."

On the edge of a vast ocean of magma, Li Wei was as small as an ant.

"Is this the power of a legendary wizard? Truly earth-shattering, unfathomable power!"

Li Wei murmured to himself, sensing a magical radiating power emanating from the magma.

These radiations were actually trying to invade and change Li Wei's body, but unfortunately, Li Wei's body was too strong, and these radiations couldn't do anything to him.

"Even the residual radiation is so powerful."

Li Wei's protective force field lit up; he had to go down and check if the subspace node was still there.

With the power of legendary magic, it was very likely to be destroyed.

Upon entering the magma, the terrifyingly high temperature scorched Li Wei's protective force field. With his second-ring protective force field, it couldn't withstand it for long before it was melted.

He simply stopped wasting his magical power, his body was covered in golden scales, and his true form as a fire dragon appeared. He directly used his physical body to withstand the power of the magma.

He released Ace from the Alice Ring, and Ace leaped into the ocean of lava, feeling as comfortable and exhilarated as a fish in water.

"Ace, you're in charge of keeping me alert. My senses are being affected here," Levi said.

Perhaps due to the obstruction of the terrifyingly hot magma, coupled with the fluctuations of the legendary spell, both the wizard's mental perception and Li Wei's synesthesia were affected to varying degrees.

Although it is generally unlikely that there are living creatures in this sea of ​​magma, Li Wei cannot let his guard down.

Ace nodded and immediately began patrolling around Levi. Ace's body transformed into countless spiritual fire element particles, merging into the magma to expand his vigilance range.

After revealing his true form as a fire dragon, with Li Wei's resistance comparable to that of a fire giant, the magma was no longer so hot for him.

Li Wei cautiously explored the bottom of the lava, and when he could no longer keep up, he climbed out of the lava ocean and marked the places he had patrolled.

This cycle continued for three days.

Finally, in the northeastern corner of the magma ocean, Li Wei discovered a swirling magma vortex.

"This should be it. This vortex is probably caused by the power of distorted space." Li Wei casually took out an alchemical creature he had made and sent it into the vortex before it was melted by the magma.

In an instant, Li Wei saw the alchemical creature begin to disintegrate and disintegrate into nothingness.

"A ring-alchemy creature made of mithril was instantly decomposed. This is the power of spatial distortion. No wonder we need to make a portal. Otherwise, even a low-level wizard's protective force field wouldn't be much better. I just don't know if my physical body can withstand this power of spatial distortion."

Li Wei took a step forward. His spider senses only detected a faint sense of danger, which indicated that the spatial distortion force was dangerous, but not very dangerous.

He pondered for a moment, and his right arm suddenly turned into a blood mist, which then continued to extend until it finally stopped before the vortex.

At the end of the blood mist, flesh and blood coalesced, and dark gold scales covered the palm.

Li Wei plunged his arm into the whirlpool, prepared to lose it at any moment.

Then a screeching sound of friction came from the vortex.

The friction of spatial forces caused sparks to fly from Li Wei's golden scales. After about a minute, all of Li Wei's scales shattered. Before Li Wei could even reach back his hand, that section of his hand quickly disintegrated, leaving a bloody mess.

Li Wei stretched out his arm, calmly watching the power of death repair his arm.

"It's not as terrifying as I imagined. If I resist with all my might, plus those magical protective fields and the Great Black Sky Curtain, I should be able to hold out for a while."

Compared to the spatial distortion force between different planes, the distortion force between different subspaces within the same plane is not particularly exaggerated.

As far as Li Wei knew, the reason why only high-level wizards could begin dimensional travel was because only the protective force field of high-level wizards could pass through the spatial gates formed by dimensional magic.

"Now that I've made all the necessary preparations, I can enter the subspace node," Li Wei thought to himself, in high spirits.

"Damn the Thunder Dragon family, damn the dark wizards, they've turned the wizarding world into a mess. Rather than being disturbed here every day, I'd rather go back to the human world and live a quiet life. The only thing I need to worry about is that Saint Estella, but it's still much better than the wizarding world."

As for the problem of the elemental power being too thin, there is a small elemental conversion array in the Book of Cyphers that can convert the elemental power of the Tai Stones for my cultivation. Although this is somewhat wasteful of Tai Stones, it is a last resort.

Moreover, with the resurgence of the demonic tide, the elemental power in the human realm is constantly increasing, so even with limited cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem.

Li Wei had a premonition.

When the heavens meet, the magical tide revives, and major events such as the Great Crusade and the War of the Dark and the Dark collide in the wizarding world.

The old order and structure that were once established will be broken.

The human world is the origin of wizards, and it is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The pact between the wizards and the seven gods to not interfere with each other may be broken because of this incident, and then things will get interesting on earth.

"No matter what, if you're in a dilemma, you can always retreat to the mortal realm. At least the saints in the mortal realm are stronger than me, but only by a limited margin. The gods can't directly reach into the mortal realm to attack me... And those big shots in the wizarding world are damn much stronger than me."

Thinking of the Thunder Dragon family, who had repeatedly disrupted his peaceful life, Li Wei felt a wave of despair.

The Thunder Dragon family was nothing more than a dog kept by the truly powerful figures in the wizarding world.

"The water is too deep."

The next day.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Li Wei returned to the spatial vortex.

But as he prepared to step into the spatial vortex, his spider senses detected a strong sense of danger.

Li Wei took a few steps back without making a sound.

"How about I learn a third-level defensive spell temporarily? That would be safer."

Adhering to the principle of "better to have none than something bad," Li Wei has not yet practiced the third-ring defensive spell. But now, he has no choice but to begin practicing it ahead of schedule.

He left the vortex and found a place to stay nearby. He muttered to himself, "Actually, I don't need to be in such a hurry to go back. This place is not bad. No one will bother me. I might as well cultivate here for a while, organize my spell library, and fuse an original spell of my own."

Therefore, in order to ensure a foolproof passage through the subspace node, Li Wei began researching his original three-ring defensive spell.

Currently, Li Wei's spellbook contains 536 different spell models, including 124 first-ring spell models, 35 second-ring spell models, and only 8 third-ring spell models.

"My current spell library is mostly composed of ocean-themed spells, so I'll fuse a third-level ocean-themed defensive spell into it."

Li Wei carved out a cave on the seabed, set up various magic arrays, and had the mountain giants protect him.

He then embarked on a long journey of studying magic.

To synthesize a third-circle spell, Li Wei needs to master at least a dozen similar tricks and first-circle spells, all of which require a significant amount of time.

Spiritual practice knows no time.

The year 1085 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

The 53th year of the Great Expedition.

The Wizarding World is constantly engulfed in war.

The conflict between the black and white factions has reached a fever pitch.

Of the more than 240 districts in the outer ring sea, nearly 100 have already been taken over by the Black Wizards, because the Tower of Stars has abandoned the outer ring sea and is focusing all its efforts on attacking the Black Wizard forces in the inner ring sea.

Both sides were attacking with a strategy of inflicting heavy losses on both sides.

War, like a meat grinder, caused devastating losses to the wizarding civilization.

In comparison, the situation on the front lines of the Five Realms Great Expedition is much better.

Under the leadership of five legendary wizards, the expeditionary force achieved victory after victory, and the four Chaos Gods were repeatedly at a disadvantage in their battles against the legendary wizards.

However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

For the Wizarding Council, the most pressing issue is no longer the Five Realms Crusade. Losing five planes would certainly be a heavy loss, but losing this civil war would be the real end.

In the Starry Sea, amidst the flames of war, a fifth-ring wizard organization called the Starfire Wizard Academy quietly rose to prominence.

Starfire Wizarding Academy does not set a threshold for wizarding talent. Anyone with wizarding talent, even a Child of Chaos, can enter and enjoy wizarding education after paying a relatively low tuition fee.

This led to a large number of wizard apprentices and wizards gathering at the Starfire Wizarding Academy in a short period of time, most of whom were independent practitioners.

The teachers and students of Starfire Wizarding Academy also actively participated in the war against the dark wizards, receiving strong support from the Tower of Stars.

Of course, the rise of Starfire Wizarding Academy has also encountered many obstacles. It is said that its principal, Garcia, has even survived several assassination attempts.

As for the mastermind behind the assassination, whether it was a dark wizard or some white wizard faction, that remains unknown.

In District 7, the Thunder Dragon family merged with other forces in various ways, eventually forming the sizable Thunder Dragon Legion. After its establishment, the Thunder Dragon Legion also strongly supported the Tower of Stars' fight against the Black Wizard.

This boosted the reputation of Thunderspear Soret in District 7, while the other two Fifth Ring Wizard families that passively resisted the Dark Wizards were strongly condemned by outside voices.

The outside world is in turmoil, quite a lively scene.

In the heart of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, on the shore of the vast sea of ​​magma.

Before Li Wei knew it, four years had passed.

In his mind, next to the gaseous mental energy ring, spell models revolved around it. Among them were magic tricks, first-ring and second-ring spells, and only three third-ring spells.

Sunfire Burst, Frostbite Sword Finger, and a brand new spell model.

Li Wei opened his eyes, and divine light shone forth. As he chanted his spell, thick, ink-like black water gathered from all directions around him, forming a writhing ball of ink.

Even a single drop of this black liquid falling onto the ground is enough to create a deep crater, demonstrating its immense mass and high density.

"Bogang, attack me fiercely!"

Upon receiving the command, the mountain giant launched a fierce attack from outside the ink sphere. The ink sphere trembled continuously, but it steadily withstood Bogang's three-circle spell attack and brute force attack until it shattered a minute later.

"My self-created three-ring spell, Heavy Water Barrier, is finally complete. Its defensive power is really impressive."

The Heavy Water Barrier, with its defensive strength within the third ring, should be classified as A-level, which is already among the top-tier third-ring defensive spells. With the added enhancement of the Ether Overlord effect, its actual defensive strength is no different from S-level.

After all, S-rank spells are extremely rare, one in ten thousand, and not so easy to create; otherwise, they wouldn't be called "top-tier spells."

The heavy water barrier is fully qualified as Li Wei's third-ring protective force field.

"Reaching S-rank would qualify it as my first talent spell. With the Ether Overlord effect, I would essentially have mastered a fourth-ring talent spell ahead of time. It's a pity... but there will be opportunities to improve its quality later, so there's no rush."

In addition, regarding the Way of the Knight, the proficiency progress of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique has reached four-fifths of the thirteenth level, bringing him closer to the Blood Source Second Transformation realm.

After reaching the thirteenth level, the speed of his cultivation of the Knight's Breathing Technique slowed down considerably. A major reason for this was that the quality of Li Wei's secret medicine could no longer keep up with his advancement in cultivation level.

The extraordinary biological resources of the wizarding world have become increasingly scarce over the long years.

The few remaining ones are all hidden away in the resource secrets of the major organizations, and are not available to independent cultivators like Li Wei.

This is an almost unsolvable problem unless Livy can find a new dimension.

Li Wei left the cave and took Bo Gang and the others away.

Before he knew it, he had been cultivating in this place for four years. Apart from loneliness and boredom, there was no other danger.

His mental strength has now reached 115 points. His Extreme Ice Sword Finger has reached the eighth-tier limit. This is a spell he created when he advanced to the third ring. It is relatively ordinary, and now it is somewhat lagging behind his strength progress.

The Sunfire Burst continued to build steadily, its power gradually increasing, making up for Li Wei's lack of magical attacks.

Now that everything is ready, he feels he can go back to that subspace node for another look.

Before long, Li Wei arrived at the spatial vortex with practiced ease.

"It's still there."

His body was surrounded by layers of magical protection, covered by a heavy water barrier, and his golden scales were closed, which could be described as the ultimate in armor.

He resorted to his old trick again, sacrificing his arm to test it out.

This time, thanks to his improved mastery of the Golden Snake Breathing Technique, Li Wei was able to maintain the technique for an even longer period.

"With the barrier protecting us, there shouldn't be any problems." Li Wei arrived at a point less than a meter away from the vortex.

His spider-sense only detected a faint sense of danger.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Wei's expression hardened, and he stepped inside.

Without the obstruction and protection of the space gate, Li Wei was able to see everything outside the subspace passage.

Darkness, deathly silence, brokenness, and nothingness are the main themes.

The spatial forces within the passage tore apart Li Wei's defensive force field.

The heavy water barrier shattered after holding for a while, and the magical defensive field below also disintegrated layer by layer.

The moment the spatial distortion force touched Li Wei's golden serpent scales, he vanished from the passage.

But in the human world.

On the vast, boundless sea.

An active volcanic island shrouded in black smoke.

A group of lizardmen covered in fine scales and wielding spears are currently holding a ritual at the foot of a volcano.

The sacrificial offerings were, in fact, a group of bound sailors, among whom there appeared to be a young knight.

A lizardman chieftain, enormous in size, standing two zhang tall, wielding a staff and clad in bone armor, clasped his hands together, flicked his tongue, and chanted incantations.

"A circle surrounding the mortal world."

"The primate of all scaled insects."

"The Holy Spirit who controls reincarnation."

"The Great and Supreme Serpent."

"Yegoo!"

"Your devout servant begs for your grace."

The chief had barely finished speaking.

With a deafening roar, a terrifying explosion echoed from the crater.

The chieftain and the lizardmen stared solemnly at the land shrouded in black smoke.

A raging column of fire rose from the sky, reaching the heavens and the earth; the active volcano had erupted.
