Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 257 The Dark Ancient Tower! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

Starfire Island.

When Garcia put the "black pearl shell" away.

Godfrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Such a dangerous mission, and the family sent me here. It's really a shame... Fortunately, Garcia is sensible enough. So what if he's a Yuan Soul? This Endless Sea will ultimately belong to the Six Towers, and in the future... it will belong to my Letney family."

If Godfrey had done this, any other elemental spirit wizard might have easily killed him.

Jacob watched Garcia's actions and thought to himself, "If it were me... I couldn't do it. The Seven Waters Tower was right. Garcia's future may not be just that of an ordinary elemental wizard."

It is extremely rare in the wizarding world for a rogue wizard, who is not a Child of Elements, to advance to the Yuanhun level. Garcia's ability to do so requires a combination of willpower, perseverance, and luck.

After delivering the gifts, Godfrey left in a hurry with the Letney family, clearly not there to attend the ceremony.

Garcia remained calm and allowed Sparrow and the others to continue the ceremony as usual.

After the important figures and organizations finished presenting their gifts, Li Wei also came up to the stage.

"Lord Levi, it's been a long time." Sparrow's face lit up with surprise.

"I heard that Senior Garcia has advanced to the Yuanhun realm. Congratulations! I am offering 10,000 Taishi as a token of my congratulations. I hope that the Starfire Wizarding Academy will continue to thrive in the future," Li Wei said with a smile.

Ten thousand taels of gold is quite a lot for a third-ring wizard.

After all, daily expenses in the Third Ring Road area are huge, so it doesn't need to be too expensive if it's just for gifting.

Having too much wealth can actually flaunt it and attract attention.

After observing for a while, Li Wei found that most third-ring wizards gave gifts of around ten thousand taels of silver.

"Thank you for your support," Sparrow said earnestly.

Garcia looked at Levi, nodded, and expressed his gratitude.

"Congratulations, senior! From this day forward... your name will be known throughout the Endless Sea!"

Li Wei offered his congratulations.

"I know you. If you'd like to come to Starfire Wizarding Academy as a potion teacher, our doors are always open for you," Garcia said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you, senior. However, I am not very knowledgeable and would not dare to mislead others. If I have more confidence in the future, I will definitely come here."

One of Li Wei's goals for this trip was to make contact with a Yuanhun Wizard.

However, given Garcia's status and position, Li Wei hadn't expected him to be personally invited to join the academy.

It must be that Spyro and the others mentioned him to Garcia.

offstage.

Some of the guests, who were also third-ring wizards, were slightly surprised to see Li Wei being personally invited by the Yuanhun wizard.

"Who is this person? He's just a third-ring pharmacist, yet Lord Garcia remembers him?"

"I heard that the requirements for teachers at Starfire Wizarding Academy are much higher now than when it was first established. Only fourth-ring wizards have a chance to get in. Of course, the salary and benefits have also improved a lot... This guy was able to get in with only a third-ring cultivation level, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. He doesn't appreciate what he has."

After delivering the gift, Li Wei left the platform. He could feel some eyes watching him.

"Such an effect can be achieved with just a word from a Yuanhun Wizard. This is... Yuanhun."

In the Azure Realm, when a wizard breaks through to the Yuanhun realm, the blessing is said to "become famous throughout the endless sea," which is enough to illustrate the status of the Yuanhun realm.

Only wizards at the Yuanhun level or above are qualified to truly step onto the grand stage of the Endless Sea, and gradually enter the world of chess players from that chess piece.

"Li Wei, that's impressive! You were personally invited by our principal," Xavier said enviously.

Even though Garcia is a very busy spirit wizard, he is rarely seen here.

"That was just you being polite, senior. My level as a pharmacist is not high enough to teach and educate people," Li Wei shook his head.

"Alright, alright, you're being modest again... I get it, being low-key, huh?" Xavier rolled his eyes. He had heard Levi say this line many times when they were neighbors.

Such examples include:

Successfully refining a rare potion is all about luck; progress in cultivation is also a matter of chance.

"Levi, don't rush off after the ceremony. We haven't gotten together in a long time. Call Newt and Rose, and the four of us can have a good get-together. It's a pity... Old John isn't here," Xavier sighed.

The ceremony that followed included various activities, and some wizards even turned the ceremony into a wizard gathering, exchanging cultivation experiences and setting up stalls on the spot, taking advantage of the large crowd.

Li Wei browsed the stalls and bought some herbs and materials needed to craft the [Purgatory Ghost Slaying Array].

This can be considered an unexpected gain from this Yuanhun Ceremony.

The ceremony has concluded.

After obtaining leave from the academy, Xavier led Levi and the others away from Starfire Island.

They returned to a small island located around Xinghuo Island.

This is Xavier's private residence outside Starfire Island.

The island is not large, but it is far from the academy, so it is quiet and undisturbed.

Li Wei and the others sat together, exchanging some interesting experiences from the past, as well as some insights into cultivation.

After the exchange, everyone gained a lot.

Xavier also summoned some dancers dressed in exotic styles. Their curvaceous figures, flawless skin, and alluring golden wavy hair were truly captivating.

Newt, his face flushed, was taken away by Rose. Rose told Newt to avoid associating with Xavier at school to prevent him from getting involved with any unsavory people. Given Newt's personality, he naturally agreed.

Xavier and Levi looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Well, I didn't expect Newt to be so afraid of the Rose Witch... So, it just goes to show, a man should be alone to be truly carefree! Come on, let's keep drinking!"

Xavier was embracing a scantily clad witch with bronze skin. She had a voluptuous figure and seemed to have practiced some kind of enchantment magic. Every move she made, every smile she gave, was naturally alluring.

In the wizarding world, some wizards who work in brothels, whether witches or wizards, practice charm spells and bedroom arts to better serve their clients.

Of course, these enchanting spells are nothing compared to succubi. So in ancient times, before the ban on magic was issued, some powerful male wizards would keep female succubi as their pets for their pleasure. Similarly, some female wizards would keep male succubi.

The alluring witch sat in Xavier's lap, her large, round peach moving about restlessly.

"Li Wei... I can't drink anymore. This five-hundred-year-old witch's wine has made me dizzy. I'm going to take a nap."

After saying that, Old Sha couldn't wait to take the incredibly alluring witch into the house and begin the connection...

"The wine in this wizarding world is really not good enough; we still need wine from the human world."

Li Wei took out the Lion King liquor from the human realm and gulped it down.

Beside him, the witch who was serving him drinks had already been plied with alcohol and was still acting inappropriately, even touching Li Wei's thigh, which Li Wei slapped away.

Li Wei looked out the window; the sea was calm, the night sky was deep, and the stars twinkled.

"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. Hmm... what's that?"

A streak of light flashed across the distant horizon, tearing through the thick clouds and trailing a fiery tail as it plunged into the sea ahead.

Li Wei instinctively tried to sense it with his mental power, but found that the light seemed to block perception. Not only was his mental perception useless, but even his nightmare perception was ineffective.

"What is it?"

A thought struck him, and he pushed aside the witch who was serving him drinks. The witch fell to the ground with a thud, and after waking up, she looked at Li Wei with a mournful expression, not daring to say a word.

Li Wei arrived at the sea.

He sensed an area covering dozens of miles and discovered that some wizards were heading towards him.

Li Wei intuitively felt that these wizards must have come for this light.

"Could it be some kind of magical extraterrestrial mineral?"

Many of the rare minerals and materials in the Wizarding World are not produced in the Wizarding World itself, but fell into the Wizarding World from beyond the heavens, that is, from the Dark Land, due to some coincidences.

For example, the [Heavenly Fire Meteorite] that Li Wei obtained before was created in this way, which is why it is so rare.

Li Wei needed to forge divine weapons; he needed the Golden Serpent, the Crimson Dragon, and the Sky Dragon.

So he hesitated for a moment, then went to find the place where the extraterrestrial object had fallen.

The lack of a danger perception response indicates that the object is not a dangerous item.

And this moment.

In the ocean, an object radiating dazzling starlight is floating on the sea.

If you look closely up close, you'll find that it's a mesmerizing little tower in the color of the starry sky.

The small pagoda has ten layers, with a dark and rustic surface, and scratches, burn marks and other signs of wear, revealing the aura of endless ages.

Because Li Wei was relatively close to the light, he was the first to arrive there, but he did not rush up to take it.

He just watched from afar; this thing could block out his senses, so it was definitely not an ordinary object.

"Is this a wizard's tower? Or just an ordinary tower-shaped magical artifact?" Levi wondered.

With a thought, he released Tyrant III.

After Tyrant III appeared, he quickly swam towards the small tower and soon arrived in front of it.

"Pick it up."

Li Wei gave the order.

Just as the tyrant was collecting the loot, a jet of water suddenly gushed forth, the powerful impact blasting the tyrant a hundred meters away, where he crashed into the sea.

A pale-faced wizard dressed in green robes appeared on the spot. He looked at Li Wei with an unfriendly expression: "I accidentally left this treasure here. Leave now, and I can let this matter go."

"I'm sorry, I thought it was unclaimed. Since it belongs to you, please take it." Li Wei said with a smile without hesitation.

"Thank you, sir."

The wizard smiled, and after speaking, went straight to take the small tower.

Li Wei did not stop him.

He put away the Tyrant and watched quietly as the guy used Wizard's Hand spell to grab the small tower, about to put it into his storage space.

However, the storage space did not respond at all.

"What the hell? It can't be stored in the storage ring?" The green-robed wizard's expression changed.

Li Wei sneered inwardly.

He personally witnessed this thing fall from the sky like a shooting star, how could it possibly belong to that green-robed wizard?

However, out of caution, he dared not easily take anything unknown.

After all, he didn't even know what this thing was for or if it was a trap.

Let that guy be the guinea pig; if it's really good stuff, we can just snatch it back.

"It looks like it can't be stored in a regular storage space. I wonder if it can be stored in the Alice Ring, but I don't think it can..."

Although he couldn't store it, the green-robed wizard couldn't bear to give up.

He took the small tower and quickly left right under Li Wei's nose.

The small tower in his hand shone brightly in the darkness, making him appear like a lighthouse.

"That treasure has been stolen by that green-robed wizard! Don't let him get away! Everyone, go after him!"

Li Wei concealed his presence underwater, watching as several more third-ring wizards chased after the light.

"What exactly is that? Could it be a Horcrux?"

He watched as the wizards began to fight over the small tower, and the green-robed wizard was soon surrounded and beaten to death by a group of people.

The small tower in the green-robed wizard's hand was taken by another third-ring wizard. That wizard also tried to put it into his storage space, but after failing, his face turned ugly.

He finally understood why the green-robed wizard had run away with the small tower like a fool: because there was no way to store it.

He wrapped the small tower in his clothes, but it still couldn't block the light it emitted.

Even using a witchcraft device similar to an insect house didn't work.

The next moment, he decisively threw out the small tower and quickly left the place.

More and more wizards were drawn to the light, a scene that seemed very strange to Levi.

In the darkness, these wizards are like insects drawn to candlelight.

"Let's go. This thing is a bit strange. We'd better not have it." Li Wei finally suppressed his curiosity and quickly left the place.

He looked back into the night sky.

The wizards were still fighting over the small tower, and even fourth-ring wizards joined in, resulting in a fierce brawl.

He suspected that many of these wizards probably didn't even know what the small tower was; they simply saw others fighting over it and assumed it was some kind of treasure, driven by greed to join in.

"My life is at stake."

Not long after Li Wei left.

The fourth-circle wizard finally snatched the small tower, and his mouth suddenly split open, swallowing the tower whole.

"Hahaha, get out of my way!"

The fourth-circle wizard sneered, "It's quite impressive that my stomach storage space can hold a small tower."

The next moment, his belly also began to glow, making him look like a bright light bulb, a light that was especially conspicuous in the darkness.

"This won't work either?" His face darkened.

His magical abilities allowed him to store things in his stomach, but even that couldn't obscure the light of the small tower.

"Little fellow, hand over the treasure. This is not something you are qualified to take, hehehe." Suddenly, a sharp and hoarse strange voice appeared in the sky.

Black clouds, covering an area of ​​several miles, gathered. At the top of the clouds, a wizard holding a bone staff and wearing a black robe sat on a white bone throne in the clouds, exuding an aura of suppression over the entire area.

"The Wild Bone Wizard... he's here too, let's go!" Some wizards immediately left the area.

Clearly, the Wild Bone Wizard has quite a reputation.

Although he wasn't a dark wizard, he wasn't far off. He had secretly committed numerous murders and arsons, but the authorities had never been able to find evidence to convict him. In addition, due to the current era of war and the collapse of order, the Wild Bone Wizard had been able to evade justice.

Knowing he was no match for a renowned old monster like the Wildbone Wizard, the fourth-ring wizard immediately used a flight spell to escape into the distance.

He went even further and unleashed his only fourth-ring magical artifact, a compass-shaped artifact that shone brightly and pressed down on the wild bone wizard above.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself."

The Wild Bone Wizard casually grabbed from the dark clouds beside him, and a ferocious, terrifying skeletal dragon, exuding an aura of death and radiating the power of a fourth-ringed dragon, emerged.

Not only that, he pointed at the fourth-ring wizard in the void, and a gray ray shot out from his withered finger, knocking the compass away.

He effortlessly defused the fourth-circle wizard's attack.

Powerful skeletal creatures emerged from the dark clouds, forming a dense, black mass, and charged toward the fourth-circle wizard.

Not long after, the fourth-circle wizard was captured and brought back. His stomach was ripped open, and the small tower was seized by a skeletal creature and appeared in the hands of the Wild Bone Wizard.

He hid the small tower in the surrounding dark clouds, and the light was finally blocked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the key to the Dark Tower is in hand. It wasn't for nothing that I went through so much trouble to find this Soul Bag."

Wildbone looked at the wizards who were scattering and fleeing; they were all third-ring and low-level wizards.

"Now that they've seen me make a move, they all must die..."

Soon.

Screams echoed across the sea.

In the end, none of the wizards who participated in the struggle for the small tower escaped, except for Li Wei.

The Wild Bone Wizard was quite satisfied as he put away all the storage bags, including the gleaming white stones, while he tossed all the ordinary magical artifacts into the dark cloud beneath him.

A crack appeared in the dark clouds, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast.

Click, click.

Accompanied by the sound of the sorcerer's artifact shattering.

The dark cloud let out a satisfied burp, then said, "Give me more. In the future, I will return to the Soul Weapon Realm, and you will be able to rise to prominence with me and have the opportunity to glimpse the Yuan Soul Wizard Realm."

The Wild Bone Wizard remained silent.

As he passed by the island where Xavier lived, he sensed that there seemed to be wizards having intercourse there.

"This place isn't far from where the incident happened, so let's just kill them all together."

He hesitated, after all, this seemed to be the island of Xinghuo Island, and killing it would offend Garcia, who had just awakened his Yuan Soul.

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura approaching from afar.

"Forget it, the primordial spirit cannot be insulted. Offending a primordial spirit expert is not advisable... Besides, the other party is busy with matters between men and women, and obviously has not noticed me."

Wild Bones quickly left and disappeared into the sea.

Xavier Wizard Tower.

in the bedroom.

"Ah... phew... that feels good. You're amazing. How long have you been practicing this spell?" Xavier climbed off the prostitute's limp body, leaned against the bed, and looked exhausted.

"My lord, it's been a hundred years," the prostitute said sweetly, leaning against Xavier's chest.

"Don't tempt me, I don't have a single drop left..."

Xavier had barely finished speaking.

They discovered that a fifth-circle wizard had appeared in the bedroom, and his simple protective spells were useless to the wizard.

"Vice Principal!"

Xavier quickly dressed and said seriously.

"Xavier, did you see a meteor fall around here just now?"

"This is a question from a fifth-ring expert."

"What shooting star?"

The fifth-ring expert observed for a while.

"It's alright, you can continue. I won't bother you anymore... Things haven't been peaceful lately, so you can stay on Starfire Island from now on."

He left the wizard's tower and gazed at the boundless sea.

"There are signs of a great battle here. The wizard who just escaped was also a fifth-circle wizard... but I've never seen that cloud-shaped magical artifact before, otherwise I could have deduced his identity. Never mind, let's go back and report. The key was probably taken by the escapee."

Xavier watched the vice principal leave, a question lingering in his mind.

I was just running an errand, what exactly happened?

He then realized that Li Wei was also long gone, and he hadn't touched the barmaid either.

"Could it be that Li Wei is incapable? I've heard that some spells, if practiced for a long time, can cause male wizards to lose their libido and fertility. Hahaha, in this respect, Li Wei is no match for me!"

Xavier regained his confidence, and he finally had an area where he could outshine Levi.

……

Starfire Wizarding Academy.

The vice principal came to the principal's office.

Garcia is currently talking to Jacob.

Jacob has now joined Starfire Wizarding Academy, albeit as a regular teacher.

"Good morning, Headmaster. Good morning, Mr. Jacob."

"Didn't find it, Emeka?" Garcia asked.

"I'm sorry, Headmaster, that place is too far from here. Someone else has already gotten there first. The other party should also be a fifth-circle wizard and possess a very powerful magical artifact," said the vice-headmaster named Emeka.

"It must have been taken by one of the wizards who participated in the ceremony. It's alright, before the Dark Tower descends, keys will continue to fall into Nora's possession."

"This is just the beginning. There will be other opportunities. It's a good thing we didn't get it yet, since we weren't really prepared... If we had gotten it, it would have been a hot potato. The person who made the move seems to know a lot about the Dark Tower and came prepared," Garcia said.

"Headmaster, what exactly is this [Dark Tower]?" Emeka asked, even though he was a fifth-circle wizard, he had never heard of it.

"Let Lord Jacob speak. I am merely a newly promoted Yuanhun, and I do not know much about things at this level," Garcia said with a smile.

"I've only heard about it secondhand; I've never actually seen it... It's said that the Dark Tower is also called the Chaos Tower by some civilizations."

It is an ancient, ownerless tower that wanders in the boundless darkness. Because of its antiquity and lack of historical records, no one knows when it was born. It may be ancient times, ancient times, or even recent times.

The true form of the Dark Tower forever wanders in the depths of the Dark Lands, drifting with the current, unknown to anyone.

Legend has it that legendary wizards from Nora and some rulers from multiple dimensions once saw the Dark Tower in the Dark Lands and attempted to subdue it, but... without exception, they all failed. From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to subdue the Dark Tower.

Every so often, the Dark Tower will send some "small towers," or "keys," into the multiverse. Not only Nora, but other dimensions may also receive them. All of this is random.

It is said that those who meet certain conditions can enter the ancient tower with a key, but I am still researching what those conditions are.

Legend has it that the ancient tower contains many treasures beyond our imagination, treasures that have long since disappeared from the wizarding world and the multiverse...

Rare minerals, precious herbs, magical creatures, and even endless knowledge and truth-revealing artifacts can all be found there. It is a true treasure trove, containing everything possible.

It is said that the Dark Tower has ten levels, each of which is a world, hence it is also known as the "Ten Realms Tower".

Many of the great wizards and legendary wizards in the history of the wizarding world entered it when they were young and gained a lot from it.

A wizard who was stuck in the fifth realm entered the ancient tower and returned successfully. Not long after, he broke through to the Yuanhun realm and became a sect leader.

Of course, many wizards... also perished there, never to return.

Jacob spoke slowly.

"Such a treasure trove, and I've never even heard of it," Emeka said, deeply moved.

A ten-story tower? Each floor a world in itself? Such a feat... even a legendary wizard couldn't accomplish this, could it? Could it be a creation of the gods?

"That's normal, because the Dark Tower only appears in the wizarding world once every ten thousand years. Moreover, news about the Dark Tower is basically blocked by some large families and wizarding organizations in the council. So if a low-level wizard accidentally finds the key to the Dark Tower and doesn't know what to do with it, they can just forcibly take it away."

"Now that this key is beginning to appear, does it mean the Dark Tower is about to appear as well?"

"That's probably true. Those powerful forces have people specifically recording the time points of the Dark Tower's appearance. They can accurately predict when the Dark Tower will appear next, as well as the locations where the keys have landed in history, so they can prepare in advance. This way, they can seize more resources and grow like a snowball," Jacob sighed.

Then he looked at Garcia and said sincerely, "This time, the Dark Tower will definitely appear within thirty to fifty years, but in short, within a hundred years... Lord Garcia, to be honest, I joined the Wizarding Academy to cooperate with you and plot for the treasures inside the Dark Tower. This time, let's join forces and wipe out those powerful families who look down on rogue wizards!"

……

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1117 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The 15th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights.

127-year-old Li Wei sat there, listening to the group members report on the situation.

"Commander, everything is fine at the Twilight Temple, but a while ago a mysterious powerful figure suddenly approached me and asked where I had been. I told him I was in the Wizarding World, and they left," the Blood Knight said with a wry smile.

"Who is it?" Li Wei asked.

"There was a woman and a man. The woman's name was Estella, and the man said his name was... Dragon. I asked the Hogg Knight and found out that both of them were saints of the church."

"Why are they looking for me?"

"He didn't say."

Li Wei listened to the Blood Knight's report and fell into deep thought.

He remembered that Estella had approached him before, saying she wanted to collaborate.

However, Li Wei was worried about dealing with a dangerous situation, so he stayed in the Wizarding World and didn't go back.

Now that they've come knocking on his door again, he's feeling a bit worried.

He didn't want to have any contact with the church, but now that these two had discovered his existence, it seemed he would have to find an opportunity to meet them in the future.

"Commander, does the Twilight Temple need to be moved?" the Blood Knight asked.

"We don't need it for now. What's meant to be will be. Those two saints don't seem to have strong hostility; perhaps they're seeking cooperation," Li Wei said.

"Commander, I learned from my brother that the Holy Radiance Church seems to be making some moves and has begun to actively organize manpower to jointly explore the Forsaken Land with the Earth Church."

It is said that in the land abandoned by the gods, there are many precious resources left over from ancient times. The area is also rich in meteorite iron minerals, and treasures from the dark lands fall to earth from time to time.

The seven major churches and many other forces have already begun vying for the initiative... Should our Knights participate? The Divine Light Knight was eager to try.

"Not for now. Let them scout ahead. That place is fraught with danger, and the Knights' current strength is insufficient to explore it," Li Wei said.

He vividly remembered the intense sense of danger emanating from the land of the forsaken gods.

"Commander, I have a question about my cultivation... I would like to ask you for advice," the Silver Dragon Knight said, raising his hand.

"Ask away."

Li Wei answered some of Kelvin's questions about cultivation, which made Kelvin realize the truth.

"Emperor Mu, what's the situation on your end?" Li Wei asked.

"Captain, the Goddess Knight and I were being hunted by a black wizard a while ago, and we're currently hiding in an ice cave beneath Lake Bel. We're safe now... but I've discovered something strange in this ice cave."

As Mudi spoke, he raised a small black tower and projected it over.

This small tower has ten stories, and its top is severely worn, covered with a thick layer of ice, from which light shines.

"Can't this thing be stored in the storage space?" Li Wei asked, his expression slightly changing.

"Yes, Commander, how did you know?" Mu Di was surprised.

"Mudi, I suggest you stay away from this thing; it could bring you danger," Li Wei said, his expression serious.

"Okay, Commander, I understand." Mu Di heard Li Wei's serious tone and knew that this was no joke, so he immediately logged off.

The Realm of Ice.

The bottom of Lake Baikal.

Emperor Mu's consciousness awoke from the castle.

He woke the goddess knight who was nestled against his chest, fast asleep.

The goddess knight's face still had a blush, and the long-parched earth looked like it had just been nourished by a torrential spring rain.

"What's wrong, darling?"

"Let's go, it's dangerous here."

The goddess knight, still half-asleep, immediately got up; she trusted Emperor Mu.

Soon, Emperor Mu left the ice cave with the goddess knight.

The next day.

A powerful aura suddenly descended upon the sky above Lake Baikal.

The person, dressed in a magnificent white robe, strolled through the swirling snowflakes in mid-air.

"The key should be here, but unfortunately my senses can't detect it, so I can't pinpoint its exact location. But it doesn't matter..."

The man snapped his fingers, and behind him, out of nowhere, appeared a unicorn-like celestial horse, its feet treading on snow and ice, its body covered in frost, and its back adorned with two wings.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the snowstorm turned into a blizzard because of its appearance.

This pegasus was unlike any ordinary creature; its entire body seemed to be composed of pure ice elements.

This is the spirit of ice, and a supreme ice elemental being comparable to a seventh-ring elemental wizard.

It was once the guardian of the Tower of Winter.

Now they are enslaved by that traitor who betrayed the council and sided with the black wizard.

"Smash this place!"

He gave the order softly.

Then, the celestial horse took a step into the void.

The thousand-foot-deep ice sheet of Lake Baikal, which had remained frozen for millennia, crumbled into dust, revealing the ice cave beneath.

Inside the ice cave, a small black tower lies.

"It really is here."

He had the Ice Elemental Spirit collect it and then swaggered away.

As one of the top experts in this icy realm, he wasn't worried about others trying to take his place.

……

Inside Hades' city.

Li Wei, who had held a meeting several days earlier, specifically asked Emperor Mu to go online.

"Are you alright?" Li Wei asked.

"Commander, I'm fine, but you're absolutely right. The ice cave where that little tower was located has been razed to the ground... It seems a Yuanhun Wizard appeared there." Mu Di said with lingering fear.

"We still need to be more careful in the future," Li Wei said.

He was relieved to know that Emperor Mu was alright.

"What exactly is this little tower? It feels like something's not simple... Even the elusive Yuanhun Wizard has been alarmed," Li Wei muttered to himself.

"Master, the little tower you encountered that day... I feel a sense of familiarity about it, but I can't quite place it. It's as if it's been forgotten..." The voice of Möbius of the Round Table suddenly rang out.

"It does look familiar, like I've seen it before," said the same thing from the Magic Mirror Oseros.

"Why don't I feel anything?" Ernest the Sword of Oath asked, sounding bewildered, which made him seem carefree.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei fell into deep thought.

The first thing that came to his mind that he could think of that would be familiar to the Round Table and the Magic Mirror was the Holy Grail of Immortality.

However, the Holy Grail of Immortality is clearly not tower-shaped.

Could it be the Chaos Serpent?

Li Wei was startled.

Because Otheros and the others were crafted into artifact spirits, many of their memories seem to be missing, which may have been intentional on Sauron's part.

In short, Li Wei now suspects that the small tower is related to the Chaos Serpent.

According to Sauron's habits, perhaps that Chaos Serpent was refined into some kind of even more heaven-defying treasure!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. With my current strength, even if I get that treasure, it won't make a difference."

Li Wei didn't bother with things that were beyond his control.

Within Hades City, I peacefully cultivate myself.

In this way, a year has passed.

The year 1118 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Vitality.

The Great Expedition is in its 87th year.

Deep Blue Sky City has been out of contact for many years.

The war in the wizarding world continues.

Since the Yuanhun Ceremony, the development of Starfire Wizard Academy has been on a fast track, and it has begun to become an undeniable force in the Starry Sea.

The Twelve Witch Cities stand tall in the Sea of ​​Stars, surrounding the Tower of Stars.

Occasionally, they would encounter some attacks by dark wizards, but they always managed to get through them peacefully.

In Hades' city.

Li Wei emerged from his meditative state.

Celia just left him a message saying that Ms. Triss has returned from the Central Realm and needs to contact Livy.

With a thought, Li Wei gathered earth elemental power around his body, forming dense magical runes that eventually created a barrier surrounding him.

This barrier resembles a spinning, earth-yellow dragon, radiating a strong earth elemental power that gives people a sense of solid and stable security!

"Second Talent Spell - Earth Dragon Barrier, complete!"

After so many years of research by Li Wei, and after incorporating a large number of basic spells from the Earth faction, this is Li Wei's strongest defensive spell to date, which has finally taken shape.

Li Wei——————

Fire Dragon Calamity (First Talent): Ninth Rank (Limit).

Earth Dragon Barrier (Second Talent): Tier 7 (1/50000).

……

Li Wei tested it and found that the seventh-tier Earth Dragon Barrier was already strong enough to withstand an attack of 30 calories.

If one cultivates to the ninth level limit, one can withstand attacks from ordinary fourth-level spells of 40 or 50 calories or more without any problem.

The Earth Dragon Barrier's defensive capabilities are significantly stronger than Li Wei's "Heavy Water Barrier".

"This is because the earth element power is relatively scarce in the Endless Sea. If it were in the Earth Realm, the defensive power of this Earth Dragon Barrier would be even more terrifying with the blessing of my Ether Overlord special effect... However, this has little impact. When casting the spell, this gap can be made up by consuming some Tai Stones."

Li Wei was overjoyed.

Now it has come.

I can finally call myself a senior wizard of the third ring.

The attack has a fully leveled Fire Dragon's Fury, enough to shatter the force field of an ordinary fourth-circle wizard.

With the Earth Dragon Barrier protecting them, their strength has been significantly enhanced.

"I wonder if my Fire Dragon Calamity can break through the max-level Earth Dragon Barrier? I can try it in the future."

"Now my mental strength has reached 185 points, which is about ten years away from 200 points. In other words, my mental strength will be perfected before I turn 140. I need to start preparing the method of liquefying mental strength in advance."

"They're in the Witch's House. I'm going to see Ms. Triss this time, so I'll buy one and also ask her about liquefaction."

This is the benefit of joining a long-established, large organization. As long as you have money, you can buy even the core spiritual energy techniques of vaporization, liquefaction, and crystallization, and there are quite a few of them.

Li Wei placed his hand on the witch's badge and chanted a spell.

The next moment, he had disappeared from the wizard tower.

When it reappeared, it was already in the square of the Witch's House.

On the towering, earth-shattering magic tree, Lady Izosera, the Fairy Banyan Dragon, was still asleep.

Li Wei was incredibly envious.

I only regret that I wasn't born a pure-blooded dragon, so I can't lie down and relax!

While they painstakingly cultivate their bloodline breathing techniques to become pure-blooded dragons, these pure-blooded dragons can grow stronger while sleeping, although this takes a very long time.

"Some dragons are born in Rome, while others are born as cattle and horses..." Li Wei lamented.

"Every time I see this Immortal Banyan Dragon, I think of our good brother Diussis. The Immortal Banyan Dragon race is already rare, and I even suspect that this female dragon may be the last one... Master, when you have the strength in the future, you must subdue this female dragon to prevent my good brother's race from having no dragon successors."

The voice of the Sword of Oath echoed in my mind.

"I want to too."

Li Wei was speechless.

The problem is, this is the guardian of the Witch's House. Even if I advance to the Yuanhun realm, they might not even look at me.

The Potions Hut.

Li Wei inhaled the unique, refreshing scent of potions emanating from Lady Triss, a scent that soothed his soul.

"You've gotten stronger again." Triss smiled slightly.

"It's just a slight breakthrough. What brings you here, ma'am?" Li Wei asked.

"You're not even 150 years old yet, are you?"

Li Wei nodded. "Almost 150."

"Indeed, according to the information I have, your talent doesn't seem particularly outstanding. To have this level of cultivation at this age, you must have something extraordinary about you. Do you know what kind of talent Garcia had that was so popular not long ago?"

"I have no idea."

"As far as I know, he was the son of chaos. He practiced meditation from a young age and never stopped. He only became a formal wizard at the age of sixty... He broke through to the primordial soul when he was over nine hundred years old and nearing the end of his life."

"This is indeed a miracle," Li Wei thought with astonishment.

This Garcia has the stats of a chosen one. Judging from what Ms. Triss said, he usually breaks through to the limit when he is close to his limit, and each time it is a close call.

"Practice diligently. Although you are a male wizard, I have high hopes for you. The main reason I called you here is to give you a task."

"Please speak, madam."

"I have learned that a branch of apothecaries in the outer ring region is currently besieged in a secret realm by several third-ring dark wizards. Recently, there have been some undercurrents in the Starry Sea, resulting in a shortage of manpower within the organization."

I know you like to hide your true abilities, but you're actually quite strong. I'd like you to lead a team to rescue the pharmacists from that branch and bring them back to the Witch's House. The branch's president is a good friend of mine from my younger days... I feel more at ease entrusting this to you."

Li Wei didn't refuse immediately. Instead, a thought struck him, and he asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, which district on the outer ring road?"

"Seventh District, Guild Master... Green Forest Witch."

Typos will be corrected later. 10400 words today, plus 4000 extra words. The Alliance Leader still owes 16000 words.
