Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 250 The Legend of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, Praising the Emperor! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

The other knights were completely bewildered as they listened to Levi and Mudi's conversation.

"Captain, is the Thunder Dragon family very powerful? How about we get together another day and go and meet this family?" The Black Knight, like the musk ox represented by his breathing technique, was a bit reckless. He would rather fight than talk.

"We are just a newly established knightly organization, while the Thunder Dragon family is an old wizarding family in the wizarding world, with a fifth-circle wizard in charge... Even I am not willing to easily become their enemy," Li Wei said.

In reality, he is still considered a junior member of the Lei Long family.

After all, the Lei Long family belongs to the Thunder School, which is known for its brutality.

Moreover, perhaps due to the Thunder Meditation Method, wizards of the Thunder School generally have somewhat irritable and fierce personalities.

In comparison, most of the wizards that Li Wei encountered who were relatively easy to deal with were from the maritime faction.

Of course, this is just his metaphysical perception and has no scientific explanation.

"Then you can stay in the Frozen Realm, Emperor Mu... As for the Goddess Knight, you will be the one to conduct my assessment first. Bring her back later, and we'll consider making her a formal member... However, you can tell her the method to break through the legendary barrier, but you'll have to sign a confidentiality agreement," Li Wei arranged.

He didn't have a spatial passage to the Frozen Realm, and besides, he wouldn't be able to find Emperor Mu there anyway, so he might as well let Emperor Mu train and cultivate there.

As for the Thunder Dragon family, Emperor Mu can only hide for the time being.

"Okay, Commander, the Goddess Knight's character is impeccable. You'll see when you meet her; you'll definitely fall in love with her," Mu Di said.

Li Wei felt something was off; why did he have the feeling that he had become the head of the Mu family?

"As for the five of you, try to stay on Twilight Island for as long as possible. The human world is getting more and more complicated, and our foundation is still shallow, so don't get too involved," Li Wei said.

"Understood, we'll return to Twilight Island now," said the Divine Knight.

"In addition, I have a Dharma manual here called 'Blood Qi Transformation Wings.' You can come and take a look. It would be best if you could memorize it. If you can't, you can ask me for it when we meet in real life in the future."

With your current level of cultivation, you should be able to practice this method. The Divine Light Knight and Hogg Knight are still a bit short, but they'll be close once they break through the legendary barrier.

"The methods I'm passing on to you are limited to learning among our official members," Li Wei said.

After he finished speaking, he placed the "Blood Qi Transformation Wings" method on the round table in front of him.

Currently, it appears that anything carried by Round Table members that is not in their storage space can be projected into the castle through the Round Table.

Otherwise, Emperor Mu and his entourage would have had to attend the meeting naked.

"Alright, I've memorized it. I'll go back and try it out," the Blood Knight said. He was a vampire and had the ability to fly, but he didn't like his vampire identity and rarely revealed his true vampire form.

In addition, once the Blood Knights have mastered the Maya Breathing Technique and the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to a certain level, they can also fly.

However, at Li Wei's suggestion, the Blood Knight is currently only focusing on the Maya Breathing Technique to break through the legendary barrier, while the Blood Beast has suspended its cultivation, mainly because it is worried about being influenced by the evil god Blood River.

After all, Blood Knights don't have a proficiency panel, so they can't fuse and mutate the Blood Beast Breathing Technique.

"What an exquisite method! It's a pity that with my current strength, I can't do all of this." The Divine Light Knight sighed after reading it.

She also longed to enter the Bloodthirst Realm, after all, flight has been a long-standing dream of humankind.

Once everyone was settled, Li Wei stood up and said calmly.

Meeting adjourned.

On this day, the first roundtable meeting of the Twilight Knights concluded successfully.

A thought arose.

Li Wei awoke at the round table at dusk.

In front of him was only an empty table.

"What an amazing method."

Li Wei sighed.

"Thank you, Mr. Möbius," Levi said.

"You're welcome, this is where I'm meant to be," said the round table.

In the Frozen Realm, inside a sanctuary, Emperor Mu opened his eyes and stepped out of the room.

Outside, snow-capped mountains stretched endlessly, and a blizzard raged. A beautiful female knight, dressed in thin clothing, was practicing her sword skills.

"Elsa, I have already contacted the leader. You will be a trainee member of the organization from now on, and I will conduct the assessment on your behalf. I will also teach you the method to break through the legendary barrier. You must swear an oath not to reveal it. Whether you can break through the legendary barrier and take a new step depends on your ability," Mu Di said.

Upon hearing this, Elsa's face flushed with excitement. She took a deep breath and then said, "I am ready, Your Majesty Mu."

……

The year 1103 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

The Great Expedition is in its 72th year.

King Jin Yu and his men are still searching for two more treasures for Li Wei, but so far there have been no results.

On this day, Li Wei awoke from his meditative state.

"My mental strength is now 160 points."

In Li Wei's mind, a gaseous magic ring slowly rotated, and around it, various spell models revolved like satellites.

"The Heavy Water Barrier has reached the ninth level limit, and its defensive power has reached the highest limit of this spell."

In the blink of an eye, a barrier surrounded by black heavy water protected Li Wei in the center.

The defensive power of this barrier should surpass that of most third-level defensive spells.

According to Li Wei's tests, with this protective force field, attack spells with an attack power of less than 30 calories would need to hit repeatedly to break through the force field.

Third-circle spells with an attack power of 30 or more are extremely rare.

This means that even without knightly skills, Levi could remain invincible against ordinary third-ring wizards simply by relying on his masterful Heavy Water Barrier!

"Besides, the Thunder Serpent Technique is almost at the ninth level. As for the Fire Dragon Calamity, the cultivation of innate spells is much slower than that of conventional spells."

The Holy Tower rotates at the center of the magic ring, and on the first level of the Holy Tower is the model of the talent spell [Fire Dragon Calamity].

Innate spell models should normally be imprinted around the gaseous spell circle.

However, because Li Wei possessed the Holy Tower, he directly branded it onto the Holy Tower.

This way, it's easier for him to use it compared to using it on the magic ring, and the power is also stronger.

Since Li Wei entered the Third Ring, his mental strength has increased by 60 points, but the changes in the Holy Tower are not significant. The key lies in that Soul Weapon fragment.

"The research on purification agents must continue."

A single cherry tomato can stump even a hero.

He had collected all the other ingredients for the potion, except for cherry tomatoes.

As for the three wizarding arts, Li Wei's potion-making is already at the senior level of the third ring, while his magic array and weapon crafting are at the fifth-tier limit, which is the peak level of the second ring. He still lacks an opportunity to break through.

That is, Li Wei personally crafted a three-ring magical artifact, an alchemical creature, or a three-ring magic array.

Unfortunately, Li Wei didn't have the blueprints for these two items; even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.

"The Book of Cypher only has the first volume; I don't know where the other volumes are. What a pity... By the way, I wonder if Oseros's knowledge base has any magic circle blueprints?"

Thinking of this, Li Wei took out the Mirror of True Knowledge and asked, "Oseros, do you have any magic arrays or blueprints for alchemical creatures?"

Li Wei wanted to take this opportunity to further modify Tyrant II, making him a three-ring alchemical creature, and also break through his weapon crafting skills.

What are alchemical creatures?

"Never mind, I didn't ask."

Li Wei forgot that Otheros was an ancient relic; at that time, there was most likely no school of alchemy, let alone knowledge of alchemy.

"However, there are some magic arrays, but not many..." Oseros said.

"What kinds of magic array blueprints are there? Let me see." Li Wei's heart stirred.

This magic mirror is actually somewhat useful.

On the surface of Oseros's magic mirror, lines of characters began to appear.

Sauron originally intended Otheros to be a tool for knowledge transmission, hoping that future generations would pay a corresponding price to obtain certain knowledge.

After the Round Table Möbius recognized Li Wei as its master, the magic mirror was soon successfully incorporated into Li Wei's arsenal, so many of its functions were now working normally for him.

"Eye of Green Flame, second-ring attack array... Sea Emperor's Protection, third-ring defense array... Glory of the Four Kings, third-ring comprehensive array..."

The magic mirror lists hundreds of different magic arrays, ranging from low to high level.

"As expected of the True Knowledge Mirror made by Sauron, although it's said to have few, it still contains over a hundred different magic arrays." Li Wei was delighted.

Now that the unification of the ancient saint plane is nearing its end, he plans to establish his own base here, which will inevitably require corresponding protective formations.

The entrance to the Ancient Saint Plane also requires a more advanced magic array for protection and concealment to prevent it from being discovered by others.

"What price must be paid for this 'glory of the Four Kings'?" Li Wei asked.

"Ordinary knowledge and some low-level knowledge can also be exchanged for soul power to maintain the daily operation of the Magic Mirror. However, the [Glory of the Four Kings] is special knowledge, and you need to provide knowledge of equal value."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei took out the Book of Cypher and said, "This book contains many low-level magic arrays. It should be more than enough to exchange for this magic array."

"Yes, any valuable extraordinary knowledge that is not in the Magic Mirror's knowledge base can be used as a bargaining chip. As the holder of the Magic Mirror, you only need to input the knowledge from your memory into it, and the Magic Mirror will naturally determine the value of this knowledge and decide whether to trade it."

It is said that Li Wei began to input the magic circle diagrams from the Book of Cypher into the Mirror of True Knowledge one by one.

After inputting the blueprints for thirteen ring-shaped magic arrays, the True Knowledge Mirror said, "That's enough."

Then, a surge of information flooded into Li Wei's mind.

It is the blueprint for the magic array of "The Glory of the Four Kings".

Meanwhile, in the knowledge base of the magic array of the True Knowledge Mirror, the knowledge that Li Wei had recorded appeared.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's heart stirred.

"The Magic Mirror seems to be able to serve as a knowledge management system for the Twilight Temple... Through the equivalent exchange of knowledge, the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge can gather all the knowledge among its members, so that the knowledge within the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge will increase. No matter what kind of organization it is, knowledge management is of paramount importance."

Many large wizarding organizations have their own knowledge management systems, usually implemented by a special wizarding artifact. Members need to pay a corresponding price to obtain knowledge of equal value. For example, in the Tower of Merit in Stromgarde, the price for knowledge is merit points.

"How did you determine these costs? Is there a unified standard, such as the price of gold?" Li Wei asked.

"As the master of the Mirror of True Knowledge, you can improve the knowledge management system of the mirror, as long as you do not violate the principle of equivalent exchange. However, some knowledge is difficult to measure with taels..." Oseros said.

"I see."

This principle of equivalent exchange is a rigid standard, the first principle Sauron used when creating this magical artifact. Even Levi, as the owner of the magic mirror, cannot get knowledge from it for free.

"If someone else wants to exchange knowledge with you, what do they need to do?" Li Wei asked.

"First, I need to obtain your authorization, then silently recite the incantation 'Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror...', and finally pay the corresponding price to acquire the knowledge."

"I understand." Li Wei understood.

At the next meeting, tell this spell to the official members. If they encounter new but unusable knowledge while adventuring, they can exchange it for useful knowledge at the [Mirror of True Knowledge].

Furthermore, the knightly techniques that Li Wei himself researched, such as "Blood Qi Wings" and "Introduction to Bloodline Dharma Body," can also be transferred into the knowledge base of the [True Knowledge Mirror], where other members can acquire them at a price.

This can create a virtuous cycle, making use of the collective strength and wisdom.

Putting away the magic mirror, Li Wei's anticipation for the Excalibur and the Holy Grail of Immortality grew even stronger.

The [Glory of the Four Kings] he redeemed this time is a large-scale magic array built on a market or wizarding organization, which requires a lot of materials.

Moreover, this is an ancient magic array. It is possible that the array has been updated and replaced over the years, and the materials required for it are either gone or have new substitutes.

On one hand, Li Wei had the Ancient Holy Empire send people to search in this small plane, and on the other hand, he planned to look for it at the Witch's House when he returned to the Wizarding World.

Whether it works or not, let's give it a try. This magic array is extremely powerful and special among the three-ring arrays, not much inferior to the four-ring array. After it is built, it should not need to be upgraded for a long time.

It is composed of four three-ring magic arrays: "The Glory of the King of Earth, the King of Fire, the King of Wind, and the King of Water".

Therefore, this magic circle has four forms. The Fire King, which governs destruction and attack, can simultaneously unleash up to ninety-nine third-ring fire magic spells. Even a fourth-ring wizard, let alone a third-ring wizard, would be in danger of perishing if they entered without quickly escaping.

The King of Wind primarily uses wind blade attacks, similar to the King of Fire, thus complementing each other.

As for the King of Water and the King of Earth, their roles are defense and control.

Overall, this magic array is both offensive and defensive, making it extremely powerful. If successfully crafted, it would certainly be a perfect protective array for the Twilight Temple; the only challenge is finding the right materials.

"Next, let's go and meet that one in the ocean. If we don't deal with him, he'll always be a potential threat."

Li Wei summoned the Ancient Sage of Broken Void and asked him to lead the way, flying towards the South China Sea.

a few days later.

Li Wei and Duan Kong arrived at the seaside.

"My lord, further ahead lies the territory of the Azure Dragon Empire," said the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky.

"Let's go take a look." Li Wei stepped inside and carefully searched with his synesthesia.

Not long after, a wave suddenly rose on the sea, and on the wave, a lizardman with indigo skin, webbed fingers, and scales held a bone fork and said angrily, "This is the territory of the Canglong Empire. Invaders, if you go any further, the great Canghai King will tear you to pieces."

This lizardman is actually a sea crawler, who is transformed from an ordinary lizardman. However, like the sea creatures of the Endless Sea, the sea crawler has adapted to the marine environment, but can also live on land for a period of time.

"Go and summon the King of the Vast Sea. You are just an unknown nobody, you have no right to speak with us," said the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky in a cold voice, his ancient saintly majesty surging towards the lizardman.

The lizardman's expression changed, and he said fiercely, "You wait," before slinking away into the sea.

Deep in the ocean, a city stands in the sea.

This is Canghai City, a city ruled by the Canghai King and the capital of the Canglong Empire.

A tall, crowned blue-scaled lizardman was enjoying himself with a group of female lizardmen in the palace. The female lizardmen were wailing and moaning, clearly unable to bear it any longer.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The powerful figures from the Ancient Holy Empire have arrived..." The guard's voice rang out from outside the hall.

"Which ancient sage is it?" King Canghai stopped his reproductive activities and asked in a cold voice.

"The Ancient Saint of Broken Void, there seems to be another fire lizardman as well, I wonder if he is the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven..."

"Hmm?" The King of the Sea's expression changed. In his hand, a large, dark, and simple-looking sword had appeared at some point.

"Come, follow me to take a look." King Canghai's voice was like thunder. Before long, the other ancient saint powerhouses of Canghai City also rushed over.

"Your Majesty, they probably want us to surrender..." said an ancient sea crawler saint with a grim expression.

They had long heard that the Wind God Empire had been taken over, and during this time, these ancient saints had been living in constant fear, afraid that they would be come knocking on their door.

"What's there to be afraid of? With His Majesty here, we have nothing to worry about," said another ancient saint.

The King of the Sea remained silent. If he couldn't defeat his opponent, he could simply hide underwater.

Only underwater can he fully unleash his power, while his opponent's strength will be suppressed.

The ancient sages' army had no way to conquer them from the sea, which is why he was so fearless.

Before long, the King of the Sea saw the two figures on the sea.

"Two people dare to come to our Azure Dragon Empire? It seems you two are very confident in your strength. I..."

Before the King of the Sea could finish his entrance speech, the ancient sage of the fire lizard unleashed a sword strike, a crimson dragon roared, and gray-white sword energy swirled with flames, scorching the sea into white smoke.

boom!

The sea exploded.

The King of the Sea was thrown into the air.

One of his arms was even cut off.

He endured the excruciating pain and discovered that his bloodied arm was now in the hand of the ancient salamander saint, who had also taken the sword from his hand.

"You...you are truly the original Ancient Sage?"

King Canghai couldn't help but ask.

Throughout history, in this world, perhaps only the earliest ancient sages could defeat themselves so effortlessly.

Whether it's the Ancient Saint of Broken Void or the Golden Feather King, they are about the same level as him, the King of the Vast Sea. In the sea, he is even better.

But the King of the Sea knew that hiding in the sea would be futile against the lizardman before him…

"That's right, I am the original Ancient Saint. The South Sea has been an inseparable part of the Ancient Saint Empire since ancient times. This time I have come to reclaim the lost territory," Li Wei said.

Since the original ancient saint is dead and there's no way to verify it, if he claims to be the original ancient saint, then he is, and he's not afraid of the original ancient saint jumping out to attack him.

"King of the Vast Sea, stop hoping for the best. The whole world belongs to the Ancient Holy Empire. Return to the embrace of the Ancient Holy Empire, and only in this way can we restore the glory of the Crawlers," the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky also advised.

Li Wei burned the severed arm of the King of Canghai and held the ancient, black sword in his hand, examining it carefully.

"Mobius, is this the Excalibur, Ernest?" Levi wondered to himself.

"That's right, it's him." Möbius's voice echoed in Levi's mind.

"I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me without any effort. No wonder King Jin Yu searched all over this continental ruins without success. It turns out it was taken to the sea."

Li Wei was filled with emotion.

Fortunately, he came to see the King of the Sea, otherwise, even after another ten years, the King of the Golden Feather and the others might not have been able to find the Sword of Oath.

"The sword in your hand is one of the four national treasures that I lost. Now that I'm taking it, it's like returning it to its rightful owner," Li Wei said calmly.

"..."

You say so, then so be it... King Canghai dared not speak out against his anger.

Regardless of whether this person is the original ancient saint, one thing is certain: his strength far surpasses that of himself.

"From now on, this place will be the South China Sea Province, under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Holy Empire. You will continue to be your king in the sea. I only need you to do three things."

First, from now on, you must not invade the land; second, pay sufficient taxes annually in the form of rare and ferocious sea creatures, plants, and mineral resources; third, mobilize the power of the Mosasaurus Province to find another national treasure for me, a treasure shaped like a Holy Grail that may speak.

If you do these things, your life will be safe; otherwise…

Li Wei's five dragons exuded majesty without reservation, dominating the entire arena, and their threatening nature was self-evident.

"I...I will do as you say, and I will never set foot on land again!" King Canghai said, clutching his wound in humiliation.

"Swearing like that won't do. Next, swear an oath before this sword. This is the Sword of Oath. Anyone who swears an oath to it and then breaks it will be punished by the heavens and the earth," Li Wei said.

"That's right."

A voice suddenly emanated from within the pitch-black greatsword, exuding a kingly majesty that made the Canghai King instinctively fearful.

The King of the Vast Sea looked shocked and incredulous. Staring at the jet-black greatsword, he asked in astonishment, "You can speak? Aren't you a sword?"

"I am the Sword of Oath, Ernest."

"Then why didn't you say anything before? You've been following me for two hundred years..."

"You are not worthy to speak to me. My following you was like a pearl being obscured by dust. Now I have followed a wise lord... You should not speak to me anymore." The Sword of Oath said solemnly and earnestly, and then remained silent.

The scene fell silent, and the King of the Sea was speechless for a moment.

This greatsword was obtained by him from killing an ancient saint in his early years. It was not special in itself, but its material was extremely hard, making it perfect as a weapon.

He never imagined that this greatsword could speak human language, and that it had never uttered a single word while he had been with it day and night for two hundred years.

Now that the enemy has just obtained it, they have already betrayed us... Is this world really that realistic?

Isn't this a form of betrayal?

Left with no other choice, he had to swear an oath to the Sword of Oath, as Li Wei had requested.

After he finished making his vow, a phantom image rose into the air from the Sword of Oath. It was a deep blue dragon with a spine like a mountain range and wings that covered the blue sky. It was none other than the Sea Dragon Ernest.

The Radiant Sea Dragon transformed into the phantom of an ancient greatsword and disappeared into the body of the Azure Sea King.

King Canghai's face turned pale. He knew that this oath was no ordinary oath; if he broke it, he would truly die...

"Go back and fulfill your vow."

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling the King of Canghai to step down.

After the King of Canghai made his oath, Li Wei had a feeling that, as the master of the Sword of Oath, he had an unseen sense of control over the King of Canghai.

All those who swear an oath before the Sword of Oath indirectly pledge allegiance to Livy.

Of course, such an oath can only be successful if the oath-taker takes the initiative to swear, recites the corresponding oath, and undergoes a specific sword-receiving ceremony. Therefore, it must be done by a speaking, intelligent race.

In addition, like many contracts, the oath-taker cannot be too much stronger than the sword master, otherwise the oath may lose its effectiveness and backfire on the sword master.

"The Mirror of Truth, the Round Table for Tea, the Sword of Oath, only the Holy Grail of Immortality remains... The Holy Grail of Immortality, Diucis, was forged by the Immortal Banyan Dragon, and its purpose is unknown."

The Mirror of Truth is for knowledge management, the Tea Table is for organizational communication, and the Sword of Oath is for managing member loyalty... Clearly, Sauron created this series of special artifacts to establish an extraordinary organization...

The Old Ones were originally experimental subjects of Sauron's grand plan, which used planes as testing grounds.

These treasures were likely left for the original Ancient Saint. If the original Ancient Saint had developed smoothly, he might have already pioneered a bloodline path completely different from that of wizards and established a powerful supernatural organization.

However, he still failed, and these treasures became ownerless.

Until this interdimensional convergence, I accidentally discovered the entrance connecting to the human world. These treasures all ended up being mine… no, it should be said that these four treasures are destined for me and rightfully belong to me!

Of course, I won't take Sauron's treasures for nothing. I have a proficiency panel, and my research into the extraordinary path of bloodlines different from wizards surpasses that of this world. I will fulfill the unfinished wishes of the ancient saints... In a sense, my goals in establishing the Twilight Temple and the Twilight Knights are the same as Sauron's."

After conquering the Canglong Empire, Li Wei left the South China Sea.

……

The year 1105 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The Great Expedition lasted 74 years.

Time flies, and another three years have passed.

Three years is a period of profound change for the ancient sage plane.

Especially for crawlers.

They witnessed firsthand the end of a new, unified ancient holy empire, which had been fragmented by city-states and dominated by numerous vassal kings, and stood supreme on this continent.

The new kingdom is called the "Ancient Dragon Empire." Whether it's the "Winged People" who soar through the skies, the "Sea Crawlers" who swim in the sea, or the "Lizard People" on the continent, everyone is a "Descendant of the Ancient Dragon," and they are all one family.

Including the Feathered People and the Sea Crawlers, the Ancient Saint Empire currently has a total of twenty-four Ancient Saint powerhouses.

Among them, twenty ancient saint-level powerhouses formed the "Imperial Council of Elders".

The Council of Elders is the highest authority in the Ancient Dragon Empire, jointly managing the city-states large and small throughout the country. All city-state lords are accountable to the Council of Elders and must regularly travel to the capital to report on their duties and undergo assessments.

The seats in the Senate are not fixed; if a new elder is born, he or she can join.

However, you need to go to the [Original Plaza] and make the [Holy Sword Oath] under the statue of the Original Ancient, declaring your absolute loyalty to the Original Ancient and the Ancient Dragon Empire.

The absolute ruler of the Senate, the great dictator, is the "First Ancient Saint".

He was also known by the Council of Elders and his subjects as the "Crimson Dragon Emperor," the "Flame God Emperor," the "Immortal One," the "Lord of the Ancient Saints," the "Serpent's Agent Walking in the World," and the "Guardian of the Flame Throne"...

Legend has it that all the ancient saints in the Council of Elders were creations of the original ancient saint, and were the strongest warriors sculpted by him using his powerful bloodline!

The Holy Serpent is currently asleep, and it is unknown when it will awaken. Therefore, they have absolute loyalty to this Holy Serpent, the first ancient saint since the creation of the world.

In addition to the Council of Elders, there are four "Dragon Kings" who are independent of all political systems of the Ancient Dragon Empire and are only responsible to the original Ancient Saints. Like loyal angels of the emperor, they monitor all things in the world. Whether it is an Ancient Saint of the Council of Elders or an ordinary subject, no evil can escape the eyes of the Dragon Kings and will be brought to justice!

These four dragon kings are the Feathered Dragon King of the Intis Mountains, the Azure Dragon King of the South Sea Abyss, and the Winged Dragon King of the Ancient Dragon Continent. There is also one who is the human incarnation of the original Ancient Saint. He has no name or surname and calls himself the "Nameless Ancient Saint". He walks alone on the earth and silently protects the people of the Ancient Dragon Empire.

Legend has it that the ancient sage initially treated every ancient sage and his people equally. He was taciturn, stern in appearance but kind at heart, hated evil as if it were his enemy, and was like a teacher and a father to everyone.

For thousands of years, the reason he has never appeared from the legendary era to the present is because he inherited the will of the Holy Serpent. In order to protect the people of the Ancient Dragon Empire from the troubles of the evil gods from beyond the heavens, he sits alone on his blazing throne, using his powerful strength to protect the fragile Ancient Dragon Empire and fight against the evil gods.

Only when it comes to the life and death of the Ancient Dragon Empire will the Ancient Saint rise from the Flame Throne and use the Fiery Sword in his hand, which is powerful enough to destroy the world, to annihilate the enemy!

……

"What selflessness! What loyalty! Praise be to the Primordial Saint! Praise be to the Crimson Dragon Emperor!"

Inside Blackstriped City, old Kane, his eyes blurred with tears, held a copy of "The Legend of the Crimson Dragon Emperor" and told the little lizardmen below the stage the story of the first ancient saint.

"I knew it; the Ancient Sage never abandoned us in the first place."

"Praise be to the Emperor! Praise be to the Lord of the Creatures!"

"To revive the glory of our ancient sages is our inescapable duty!"

The young lizardmen chatted excitedly, each one speaking to the other.

Old Kane's thoughts drifted back to more than a decade ago, to the moment he first met the nameless ancient saint.

Since the founding of the Ancient Dragon Empire, Old Kane has never seen the original incarnation of the Ancient Saint again.

He knew that the Ancient Saint was originally going to the Throne of Flames to use his powerful strength to fight against the demons that were trying to invade the Ancient Dragon Empire!

Today, throughout the Ancient Dragon Empire, numerous "Ancient Saint Dojos" have been established, teaching the eighth version of the Ancient Saint Method, which was improved by the original Ancient Saint.

In addition, a "Psionic Academy" was established in the Intis region.

Lizardmen with "psychic talent" have the opportunity to be selected to go to the academy to study psychic magic and master powerful psychic spells!

It is said that the original Ancient Saints were not only the most powerful Ancient Saints, but also the most powerful psionic beings in the world!

Throughout the entire Ancient Dragon Empire, everything was developing in a positive direction, thriving and flourishing, with civilization full of vitality and energy.

The mastermind behind all of this has already traveled north, traversing the Intis Mountains, a place no one has ever crossed before, to explore the edge of this world.

"Unexpectedly, the northern part of the Intis Mountains is a vast desert. Even at the speed of the Crimson Netherbird, it flew for a whole day without getting out..."

On the back of a giant black bird with a wingspan of ten zhang, Li Wei sat cross-legged, gazing at the monotonous scenery below.

In the desert, not a blade of grass grows, let alone scarce medicinal plant resources.

Occasionally, you can find herbs that possess the power of earth element.

However, the medicinal resources here are far inferior to those of the Ancient Dragon Continent, and for Li Wei, they are basically not worth developing.

"Let's keep going. I refuse to believe that this plane can be endless. Even the Endless Sea has an end..." Li Wei muttered to himself.

After three years of vigorous construction, the Ancient Dragon Empire has been successfully established and is now operating independently, requiring no further attention from him.

Whether it was the three Dragon Kings or the ancient saints of the Council of Elders, they had all "voluntarily" sworn an oath of loyalty under Li Wei's Oath Sword.

In general, with the Sword of Oath under their control, the likelihood of them betraying Livy is virtually zero.

Of course, the Sword of Oath can only make them loyal; as for how well the country can be governed, that depends on their abilities... Li remained pessimistic about this.

However, for him, the Ancient Dragon Empire was also an experimental nation. The most important reason for the establishment of the Ancient Dragon Empire was to gather the strength of a nation to help Li Wei develop and manage this plane.

The "Ancient Saint Dojo" and "Psionic Academy" he established served two purposes: firstly, to better collect herbs and mineral resources from this plane; and secondly, to cultivate his own extraordinary force. In the future, the Ancient Dragon Empire would be a nation of soldiers, and any foreign enemy daring to invade would have to think twice.

He only needs to come back every now and then to harvest a batch of韭菜 (a metaphor for exploited investors).

At the same time, the empire's population will be artificially controlled to prevent unintended consequences that could deplete the resources of this plane. Sustainable development is the fundamental solution.

A few days ago, after leaving the Ancient Dragon Empire and making his final arrangements, Li Wei headed north towards the Intis Mountains, intending to make a "geographical discovery".

"This desert can be called the 'Azure Sand Sea,' and it will be included in the textbooks of the Ancient Holy Empire in the future."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he looked down and saw the earth churning and yellow sand swirling in the sea of ​​sand below.

A creature, stretching for hundreds of meters and resembling an earthworm, suddenly leaped out and lunged at Li Wei.

"An unknown ancient beast, perfect for testing my current magical abilities with you."

The ancient beasts are slightly stronger than the ancient saints.

This ancient beast was covered in yellowish-brown scales, resembling a burrowing worm. It opened its alien-like mouth and spewed out green poisonous breath.

Li Wei neither dodged nor avoided; a heavy water barrier surrounded his entire body, and at the same time, blue arcs of electricity pulsed at his fingertips.

In an instant, the dense array of electric arcs coalesced into a lightning serpent about ten meters long.

Third Ring Spell: Thunder Serpent.

After three years of cultivation, thanks to the relatively abundant elemental power of this ancient holy plane, Li Wei has mastered all the third-circle spells he has learned, except for his innate spells, to the limit.

Crackle, crackle.

An electric shock rang out, shattering the sky.

Protected by the heavy water barrier, Li Wei was kept out of the poisonous aura. Just as the worm-like monster bit Li Wei and the barrier, an electric current surged through his body, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Its sharp teeth tried to bite through the heavy water barrier, and a crunching sound came from it.

After holding out for ten breaths, Li Wei's heavy water barrier finally shattered.

"very nice."

Levi abandoned his experimental mindset, his body shimmering with golden scales as if protected by golden light. He pried open the worm's mouthparts, then grew larger, forcefully tearing it apart.

When the worm realized that Li Wei was difficult to deal with, it tried to escape, but Li Wei grabbed its tail.

The towering dragon warrior grabbed the worm by the tail, swung it up with a thud, and slammed it to the ground.

Yellow sand flies, and sand dunes collapse.

After repeating this ten times, the worm was on the verge of death.

Li Wei's five dragons exuded majesty, and the worms finally submitted.

He tested the bloodline, and it was pretty much as he expected. This worm possessed the bloodline of the "Immortal Banyan Dragon," which was probably a ferocious beast that mutated after Sauron killed the gods and absorbed the blood of Diussis, the forest king representing the earth. Its [bloodline essence] could be used by Li Wei to refine a higher quality Golden Serpent Elixir.

"In that case, I'll call you [Drilling Earthworm]. From now on, go to Alice's ring and loosen the soil for me, fertilize it..."

Li Wei placed the burrowing dragon earthworm into the ring, and when he entered it with his consciousness, he found that the ring space now seemed a bit cramped.

The supernatural beings were so densely packed that the elemental power within them was clearly insufficient.

Li Wei had to invest a thousand taels of silver every year to maintain the size of the space, but as he collected more and more extraordinary creatures, and their sizes grew larger and larger, this problem was exposed.

"If we can restore its level of a five-ringed magical artifact, the space should be almost there."

Li Wei shook his head; he couldn't do that yet.

He continued onward, and after another day, the scenery before Li Wei's eyes finally changed.

He could smell the sea and hear the sound of the waves.

He continued his journey along the ocean.

Seven days later, Li Wei returned to the South China Sea.

"It seems that this small plane is also a sphere similar to the planet in my previous life... The so-called dark land and caves are actually similar to the universe and the planets in it. However, these life-bearing planets are often protected by a layer of crystal wall to prevent them from being eroded by the unknown forces of the dark land."

Based on the information Li Wei learned from Möbius and the others, this plane is merely a territory beneath the Chaos Serpent. Neither the ancient serpent nor the four ancient dragons are native to this plane.

The original inhabitants of this world were actually a group of ferocious reptiles similar to dinosaurs, and after the divine power of the Holy Serpent descended, they gradually developed a faith.

Li Wei speculated that after Sauron killed the gods, the remains of the ancient dragons were devoured by these dinosaurs, and the ancient beasts were born.

Under Sauron's influence, the Creepers gradually developed into an intelligent race, from which the first Ancient Saints were born. They received treasures left to them by Sauron, acquired Ancient Saint Laws, and passed them on to other Creepers. The Ancient Saints gradually emerged, and later, the Ancient Saint Empire came into being.

All of this was merely an experiment by Sauron on a different plane of civilization.

"Of the four treasures, only the most mysterious Holy Grail of Immortality remains. Let the Ancient Dragon Empire search for it slowly. Anyway, I have already left an imperial decree that whoever finds the Holy Grail can become the fifth Dragon King under the Emperor's command. Perhaps a few Holy Grail Wars or Holy Grail Ages will be born here in the future..." Li Wei thought to himself.

Having resolved his doubts, Li Wei returned to the temple altar, which was shielded by a magic array to prevent the lizardmen from accidentally entering. The exit to the human world was similarly protected.

The guard, Bo Gang, was still asleep. Li Wei woke him up, gave him some medicine to aid his cultivation as a reward, and then hurriedly left.

After years of cultivation, his Dream Dragon Breathing Technique is nearing its limit. Next, it will be able to merge with the Nightmare Breathing Technique, and the prototype of the sixth dimension of perception's breathing technique will soon be established.
