Chapter 266 Advancement to the Fourth Ring! (Please subscribe, and please vote with double monthly tickets at the end of the month!)

The purple pills emitted an enticing fragrance.

Li Wei swallowed hard, feeling an urge to swallow it immediately.

"Just from smelling it, my mental energy is soaring, as if I've instantly reached my peak... No wonder it's the best breakthrough potion!" Li Wei thought to himself.

Once it's refined into a potion, there's no 24-hour time limit.

"Unfortunately, these materials only worked once, but it was already extremely incredible... Could this be the work of luck in the dark?"

It seems I'll have to learn the [Lovers' Rune] after I advance to the fourth ring. If this kind of mystical technique works, it will be quite beneficial for my journey through the Dark Tower!

After putting away the potion, Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Just as he had imagined, his medicine-making skills had already surpassed their limits and advanced ahead of schedule.

Li Wei——————

Pharmaceutical: 13th level (1/500000)

……

"Based on my previous patterns, the first to sixth levels of the pharmaceutical skill correspond to the pharmacist apprentice, the seventh and eighth levels correspond to the first-ring and first-ring senior pharmacist, and so on, with the thirteenth level corresponding to the fourth-ring ordinary pharmacist... Therefore, I advanced ahead of schedule."

Li Wei still remembers Ms. Mai Lin's teachings.

A first-circle wizard can at most work as a second-circle pharmacist.

However, starting from the third-ring alchemist level, one needs to be a wizard of the same level of cultivation, because without the same level of spiritual power, it is very difficult to refine and control the alchemy process for third-ring alchemy.

Li Wei is now at the peak of the third ring realm, having become a fourth-ring pharmacist ahead of schedule.

There is only one explanation.

"The Truth Curiosity artifact allowed my mental power limit to reach the level of a fourth-circle wizard at 210 points ahead of schedule. Although I did not liquefy, with the help of the Epiphyllum Elixir, I successfully refined a fourth-circle potion, and thus advanced to the fourth-circle level."

This was an unexpected delight for Li Wei.

In high spirits, I left my secluded retreat.

During his secluded cultivation in the Ancient Realm, Li Wei's fourth-circle spell model, [Echo of Lightning], was also completed.

In his mind, around the gaseous spell ring, a lightning-shaped spell model, significantly larger than the others, was slowly rotating.

This is the first fourth-circle spell that Li Wei has mastered. In the future, he will use this spell as a foundation to create his fourth innate spell.

"Master, how is it? My Crimson Water... how does it taste?" Miraa appeared beside Levi and asked with a smile.

"It tastes good."

"Got it." Miraa pouted, her eyes sparkling with amusement, and followed behind Levi.

"From now on, you'd better transform into a human form to avoid causing me trouble," Li Wei said.

Miraa nodded, and in a flash, she transformed into a bronze-skinned woman dressed in refreshing purple clothing, exuding a wild beauty.

"Hmm, that's good. You can keep looking like this from now on."

"I will obey my master's orders."

Most of the time, the succubus has to stay inside the Alice Ring. She doesn't have the powerful disguise ability of a mind flayer. If other wizards discover that Levi is keeping a demon, it's a serious crime!

the other side.

The Poison Fire Corpse Demon was still diligently smelting Blood Demon Meteorite Iron.

"Once the divine weapon is completed, we can leave this place. Before that, let's resolve some issues in the human world."

Li Wei took out the storage bag he had obtained from Bo Gang and searched through it.

They discovered some ancient meditation methods and spells, the style of which was clearly different from that of modern wizards.

"The combat power of cave wizards is probably somewhat inferior to that of modern wizards. The wizarding civilization of ancient times cannot be compared with that of today." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"The most urgent task now is to convene the Council of Elders and practice the [Purgatory Ghost Slaughter Formation] to prevent the powerful figures from the Forsaken Land from coming to our door!"

Li Wei relayed the instructions to the messenger, and the winged people flew off in all directions.

Before long, Wing King and Feather King arrived at the Imperial Palace first.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The Wing King felt the immense power of the Emperor on the Flame Throne and was deeply shocked.

"My strength has improved considerably compared to a decade or so ago. I thought I could get closer to the Emperor, but now it seems I'm getting further and further away..."

The same was true for the Feather King.

This is the emperor!

Always getting stronger, not a god, but better than a god!

"Give me a full report on the situation of the Psionic Academy and the Council of Elders over the years, as well as the information on the materials I asked you to collect," Li Wei said, his voice authoritative.

"Let me explain," said the Feather King.

Then, while waiting for the other ancient sages, Li Wei listened to their reports.

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

These lizardmen are quite good; they've already found twenty-four kinds of materials in the Ancient Saint Plane to refine the Fourth Ring Meditation Potion.

Furthermore, they proactively sent people to protect all the places where these potions were created, establishing numerous "Emperor Resource Points" throughout the Ancient Dragon Empire, and regularly sending people to these resource points to collect resources, preventing them from being destroyed by natural disasters, man-made calamities, or ferocious beasts.

So far, a total of 24 resource points have been established throughout the Ancient Saint Plane. Herbs from the first to the fifth ring are distributed in these resource points, and there are also some resource points with a very small number of high-level herbs.

The Ancient Saint Plane is a small plane, and the elemental power is not very concentrated.

Therefore, the quality and upper limit of various precious resources are not very high.

However, because it is still undeveloped, there are quite a few low-level and mid-level resources.

At the very least, it will allow Li Wei to save a lot of money on purchasing materials before he becomes a Yuanhun Wizard.

In addition, no fewer than ten brass mines, three mithril mines, and a massive sinkhole have been discovered in the Ancient Saint Plane.

The sinkhole is suspected to have been formed by a meteorite impact containing obsidian from the Dark Lands. It is also possible to mine some obsidian ore inside.

Brass, mithril, and obsidian are not of much use to Li Wei now.

However, they remain precious mineral resources, which are essential for establishing a power.

In the Twilight Temple today, most knights still use weapons made of ordinary iron.

If we could switch to pure mithril weapons, it would not only improve our combat skills, but also make us more comfortable when facing low-level undead creatures such as Blue Frost Necromancers.

"very nice."

From Li Wei's hand, streaks of light flew out and landed in front of the Feather King and the Wing King.

"This is a reward for you, and it will benefit your cultivation," Li Wei said.

"A gift from the Emperor!"

King Yu and King Yi were overjoyed and excitedly praised the emperor!

a few days later.

The Cang King, who lived the furthest away, arrived late.

Behind the King of Cang, there was a package containing something that was glittering and attracting attention.

"Your Majesty, I am late. I have brought you a treasure!" When Cang Wang saw the smiling Wing King and Feather King, he knew that the two of them must have received an unparalleled benefit from the Emperor.

"Fortunately, I obtained that nameless little tower. If I offer it to the Emperor, I'm sure I'll receive a reward!"

King Cang was secretly pleased with himself. He prostrated himself on the ground, placed the package in front of him, opened it, and a small black tower appeared.

"Your Majesty, this is a celestial treasure I obtained. It is incredibly hard, impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire. It can be used as a throwing weapon..." Cang Wang's perspective was novel.

Li Wei pondered that if he used the key to this dark ancient tower to smash someone else, he feared it would be a one-way trip.

"I will accept this as a reward!" Li Wei bestowed some common medicines upon the King of Cang.

King Cang accepted the reward and retreated to the side with a satisfied smile.

Livy instructed Miraa to place the small tower in his bedroom.

"In this small plane, I'm the most powerful being, and I'm not afraid of anyone trying to take it from me. It seems I won't need to trouble Ms. Triss to enter the Dark Tower... Besides, she owes me a favor; I wonder how she'll repay it?"

Li Wei's lips curled up as he drifted into thought.

This key was a complete surprise.

He never expected that such a small place as the Ancient Saint Plane could have a key flowing in.

half a month later.

Apart from some ancient saints guarding important places, including the three kings, a total of twenty ancient saints all came to the front of the imperial palace.

In addition, he summoned four lizardman spellcasters with second-ring cultivation from the Psionic Academy.

Li Wei was engulfed in flames, and one after another, magical artifacts from the Purgatory Ghost Slaughter Array flew out.

"To combat the extraterrestrial demons, I will bestow upon you a battle formation for defense. Four psionic masters will oversee the formation's core, while the other ancient saints will be responsible for combat. This formation will create the incomparably powerful [Purgatory Demon Slaughter Formation]. With this formation, you can unleash power far greater than ever before, and even beings far stronger than the ancient saints will be defeated!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, he looked at the ancient sages.

"Even a powerhouse surpassing the ancient saints can be slain?"

"This is simply divine intervention!"

Next, Li Wei taught these ancient saints and psychic masters how to control the magic array.

The lizardmen are not bad at understanding; after all, those who can reach the level of an ancient saint or become a psionic master are not ordinary lizardmen.

Several months later, they went from being unfamiliar with each other to becoming increasingly skilled, a remarkable transformation.

Six months later.

The [Purgatory Demon Slayer Battle Formation], composed of twenty lizardmen, has been fully formed.

"Now, unleash your ancient holy power, coordinate with the battle formation, and attack the mountain!" Li Wei said.

The voice just fell.

One by one, the ancient sages used their flying techniques, employing their ancient power to soar through the air.

They were positioned in a battle formation, with each ancient saint maintaining the same amplitude, and their every move seemed to be integrated into one.

Moreover, their faces were crazed, and behind them were war drums carved with hellish demons, which made a deafening sound.

With each beat of the drum, their morale increased a little more!

boom!

The twenty ancient saints launched an attack together.

The multicolored attacks of the ancient saints converged and swept towards the mountain peak ahead.

A thunderous roar followed.

The mountaintop trembled, and earth and rocks exploded!

After everything quieted down.

The mountain peak had its top completely sheared off.

"210 calories! That's powerful! This is the kind of energy fluctuation that only a fifth-circle spell can cause. Sure enough, thanks to the amplification and unification of the battle formation, the attacks of these ancient saints have undergone a qualitative change from quantitative change, ultimately surpassing the fourth circle. The power of a single strike is comparable to that of a fifth circle! However, it is still somewhat inferior to that fifth-circle magical artifact and Soret's fifth-circle spell attack."

Based on the numerous experiments of the wizard Castro.

He believes that the attack power of fourth-circle spells is generally between 40 and 150 cards.

The fifth-ring spells range from 151 to 500 cards.

Therefore, relying on the Purgatory Ghost Killing Array, although each of the ancient saints was inferior to a fourth-ring wizard, together they could threaten a fifth-ring wizard!

Of course, this kind of combined battle formation can never compare to a true fifth-circle wizard, but it can still be used as a trump card for the ancient holy plane.

After all, whether in the human world or the wizarding world, beings at the fifth ring level are not as common as cabbages.

"In this way, if the unknown beings from the Forsaken Lands come, relying on the [Glory of the Four Kings] and the [Purgatory Ghost Slaughter Array], unless they are fifth-ring wizards, they will not return alive. Even if they come from the fifth ring, if we can prepare in advance, we will have the strength to fight them!"

After completing this long-awaited task for Li Wei, the smelting of the Blood Demon Meteorite was also finished.

Li Wei took over the work and began to reforge divine weapons suitable for the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique.

In this way, time flies by.

The 99th year of the Great Expedition.

In the year 1130 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon quietly arrived.

Today is the first day of the primordial moon.

It was also Li Wei's 140th birthday.

As he got older, Li Wei also began to learn to enjoy life.

For example, he was no longer alone by his side on this birthday.

The succubus, dressed in the costume of a stripper, danced energetically.

Sometimes she would lie on Li Wei's back, "chest to back," her cherry lips exhaling fragrance into his ear, softly singing, making him blush.

Sometimes she would sway gracefully in front of Li Wei, exuding charm and exoticism.

Argenta cheered on the drummer, while Taiga turned his head away, not daring to look directly at him. For someone with a rather old-fashioned personality like him, this was indecent.

In addition, the extraordinary creatures of Li Wei's Alice Ring, whether active or retired, who had accompanied Li Wei all the way, also gathered around to watch the show, which made the succubus twist even more energetically.

"Master, how was my dance?" the succubus asked provocatively.

"Pretty good...no skill involved, just pure flair." Li Wei's objective comment.

"Wow, thank you for the praise, Master. I will work even harder." Succubi have different values ​​than humans. The more Li Wei called her seductive, the more excited she became.

After my birthday.

Li Wei convened the 28th Round Table Meeting of the Twilight Knights.

There were eight members of the group attending the meeting.

While in the mortal realm, Li Wei had already taken the time to personally interview the newly emerged legendary Darkmoon Knight, Radel, and obtained his mark.

Therefore, the Darkmoon Knight was also qualified to participate in the Round Table Conference.

Before long, all eight members arrived. They all had different expressions, but they were all full of confidence and hope.

"Given the addition of new members, Darkmoon Knight, please introduce yourself before the meeting begins," Levi said, looking at the somewhat hesitant middle-aged knight.

Every legendary knight who has just participated in the roundtable meeting will be more or less nervous.

Especially for newcomers like the Darkmoon Knights, they were able to sit at the same table with their predecessors, such as the Blood Knights and the Black Knights, to discuss important matters of the Twilight Temple. They could even meet the captain who had reached the pinnacle of knighthood and witness the splendor of the ultimate knight.

Now that I see him, he is indeed majestic and extraordinary, tall and imposing, with a heroic air between his brows, like a war god descending to earth, a celestial being descending to earth!

"Esteemed seniors, I am Radel, from the Hodgson family of the Star Empire..."

After the Dark Moon Knight finished his introduction, Mudi looked at the eight knights sitting at the round table and felt a surge of emotion.

"Back when the Knights Order was first established by the Commander and me, we only had three legendary knights. Now, not counting the Commander, we have eight... and with Elsa joining, there will be nine. This table looks like it can only hold eighteen. Commander, what should we do if even more legendary knights are born in the future?" Mudi asked.

"If there are more and more people in the future, then there will be competition. Only the strongest eighteen can participate in the round table conference. In the end, strength is the most important thing in this world... Currently, all of this is based on the premise that their knightly qualities are recognized by me and everyone else. Therefore, you cannot slack off in your training. You were the first to embark on this path, and you have already started ahead of many others. You must set an example."

"I understand, this is getting a bit exciting," the Black Knight said with a smile.

"By the way, Emperor Mu, how is the war in the Frozen Realm going?" Li Wei asked.

"The Black Wizards are still in control, but some cities have been retaken by the White Wizards. Elsa and I are currently in Snow King City, keeping watch for you, Captain. Snow King City is the White Wizards' city, so you can come here without worry, Captain," Mu Di said.

"That's good. I've noticed you look a bit pale lately. Don't let your cultivation suffer," Li Wei reminded him.

Mu Di blushed: "The battles have been too intense lately, and I've expended a lot of energy... By the way, Captain, my cultivation speed has slowed down a bit, which may be due to the quality of the secret medicine you mentioned. I recently discovered a peak second-ring Ice Giant Ape in the Frozen Realm, and I need your help."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei said, "No problem, but the Sacred Ape belongs to the Earth element, while the Ice Giant Ape generally belongs to the Frost element. Its effect may not be as good as the first-level Crimson Sand Ape Secret Medicine that you are currently using."

Currently, the main source of the Twilight Temple members' secret medicines still comes from creatures in the mortal realm, or from exchanging materials for these medicines at the temple using their available resources. The secret medicines at the temple are made from materials that Li Wei obtained through murder and robbery, as well as materials he himself discarded.

The Ancient Saint Plane is primarily inhabited by reptilian supernatural creatures such as lizards and snakes. Beasts are scarce, so they cannot satisfy all knights.

However, as the demonic tide further revives and the elemental power becomes more concentrated, extraordinary beings in the human realm should gradually emerge.

At the end of the meeting, Li Wei said, "I will be traveling for a while. During my absence, the Knights and the Temple will be in your hands. Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either. If you encounter enemies you can't handle, you can come to the Ancient Dragon Empire and ask the Elders of the Council for help. With them around, even if the Church comes looking for trouble, they won't get away with it!"

"Yes, Commander! Don't worry, our Knights Order can now face any storm on its own," the Blood Knight said.

The other members were also full of confidence. Apart from the Silver Dragon Knight and the Dark Moon Knight, the veteran members were already at the Bloodthirst Realm and were still high-level combatants in the mortal realm.

Li Wei nodded, ending the meeting.

In the days that followed, he focused on forging his second divine weapon.

He's learned his lesson this time.

He remembered that every time his bloodline avatar was formed, the crimson dragon power would form the avatar's cloak.

So this time he wanted to try forging a cloak.

He relied on his unparalleled forging skills to continuously refine the Blood Demon Meteorite.

A month later, the cloak began to take shape.

To enhance the ductility and toughness of the Blood Demon Meteorite, Li Wei added some other rare materials.

During the forging process, he continuously nurtured it with crimson power.

Finally, amidst the flames, a scarlet cloak appeared.

"After countless trials and tribulations, it's finally done."

Li Wei took out the cloak with a large hand. Although it was made of special minerals, the cloak was very flowing, like a silk ribbon.

He dripped blood onto the scarlet cloak, and the scarlet dragon seed within his body immediately reacted.

Immediately afterwards, the scarlet cloak disappeared from his sight and appeared inside his body.

A cape floated on the back of the crimson dragon, billowing and rustling even without wind, looking quite dashing.

With a thought, blood-red smoke billowed behind Li Wei, and when it subsided, a scarlet cloak suddenly appeared.

Similar to the Crimson Dragon Iron Slayer, the cloak's inner lining features a totem of a crimson dragon composed of scarlet runes.

Below the scarlet dragon, there is also a cool silver chariot.

Those were the "chariot runes" that Li Wei solidified during the forging process.

He felt that it might be more suitable to solidify the chariot runes onto speed-type divine weapons.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the Crimson Dragon Seed opened its eyes, its crimson power flowing into the cloak.

Sa!

The ground where Li Wei stood suddenly cracked open.

next moment.

He had already appeared a thousand feet above the Ancient Saint Plane.

"Let's test the maximum speed of this cape."

Li Wei looked toward the South China Sea.

His cloak billowed! Li Wei seemed to become the wind, merging into the vast天地 (heaven and earth)!

This time he basically maintained full-speed flight.

We set off in the morning and arrived in the distant South China Sea region by the afternoon.

He stood high in the sky, his heart pounding with emotion.

"I travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening... My normal flying speed is twice that before I had a divine weapon."

Relying on the power of the Crimson Dragon, Li Wei's speed already surpassed that of all third-ring wizards. With this cloak, his travel speed is now faster than that of many fourth-ring wizards.

If [Crimson Escape] is used, the speed will increase threefold again.

Even a fifth-ring wizard would find it difficult to catch up with him.

"Furthermore, master the fourth-circle talent spells of the Thunder faction. The two complement each other perfectly! This is practically an essential divine skill for escaping after stealing treasures and opportunities!"

Of course, speed is only one aspect. The cloak enhances Li Wei's speed in all aspects, such as combat agility and reaction speed, making him much stronger than when he is without a divine weapon.

Finally, the cloak can also be used for defense, but that's not its strong suit.

However, thanks to the strength of the Blood Demon Meteorite material, resisting ordinary fourth-circle spells is not a problem at all.

"The first divine weapon is the Crimson Dragon Slashes Iron, and the second divine weapon shall be called... Crimson Shadow."

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————

Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique: 14th Rank (346790/600,000), Special Effects: Crimson Poison Body (Level 2), Crimson Contract (3/3), Hundred Faces and Thousand Appearances, Blood Boiling, Crimson Escape; Exclusive Weapon: Crimson Shadow (Level 1: 1/1000).

……

"Next, I will allow the Crimson Shadow to grow and mature within my body on its own."

Li Wei gazed at his reflection on the sea.

With his neat short hair, strong physique, and muscular arms, paired with a scarlet cape fluttering behind him, he looks incredibly handsome!

"That stallion, Cang Wang, does nothing but these things all day long, indulging in revelry every night, and doesn't even bother with his cultivation. Sooner or later, he'll be left behind by Yu Wang and Yi Wang..." Li Wei glanced at Cang Wang, who was enjoying himself in the palace, and then left.

This day.

Livy opened the Alice Ring in the woods surrounding his imperial palace.

He released a host of extraordinary creatures at the first and second rings, including the Crimson Sand Ape, Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard, Fire-Stealing Dragon Sparrow, Silver Frost Ice Ape, and Iron-Winged Griffin.

They gazed at Li Wei, feeling the vastness of the world around them, somewhat bewildered.

"You are free. As long as you are in this forest, no one can harm you. If I find you mates in the future, you can continue your bloodline."

Li Wei encouraged the ancient sages to establish a protected area here.

Releasing some of the extraordinary creatures back into the wild can save space in Alice's Ring.

"Furthermore, if we enter the Dark Ancient Tower in the future, we cannot bring in the extraordinary creature space."

In fact, it's not just the Dark Tower; any small world like Alice Space, which exists in relation to Nora, cannot be opened once you leave the Nora plane.

This phenomenon was discovered by Li Wei when he first entered the Ash World; only storage spaces containing inanimate objects could be opened. (See Chapter 215 for details)

Unless the space of extraordinary beings is itself established based on other planes, it cannot be opened in other planes.

So far, according to the wizards' research, there are only two types of living spaces that can be opened without being restricted by any plane.

The first type is the "spiritual space" similar to the spiritual school. This space is quite special, as it opens up on its own within the body, meaning that the space is part of the body.

The second category is the "legendary demiplane" of legendary wizards, which, needless to say, is essentially a higher-level internal space.

Watching the extraordinary creatures gradually disappear into the mountains and forests, Li Wei turned and left.

……

The year 1130 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

The human world is already teeming with life, a season of growth for all things. But in the Frosty Realm, it remains a world of ice and snow.

This is a world filled with the power of frost. Only plants and animals adapted to the extreme cold can survive here.

After waiting for several months in the mortal realm, Li Wei did not see that being from the Forsaken Land come to cause trouble.

The other party most likely knows the location of your dimension, but is delayed by something.

However, Li Wei couldn't wait any longer. Anyway, with the elders over there, there shouldn't be any problems.

Instead of going directly to the coordinates of the Frost Realm, he first returned to the Endless Sea from the human realm, and then came to the Frost Realm through the Endless Sea portal.

Although Li Wei had never been to this place, it had a deep connection with him.

When he was in the human world, he once obtained a piece of armor from a frost giant.

That was a relic from a family of giants about a thousand years ago, and its creator was none other than the legendary wizard of the Frost Realm.

Ice Witch Gulweg.

However, this simple mithril armor was damaged in the early battles, but Li Wei couldn't bear to throw it away.

The fact that the Mellon family was able to obtain armor forged by Gulveig suggests that there must be some connection between them and the Frost Witch.

In the frozen realm, Li Wei heard a saying:

The Frost Witch is no ordinary person; she possesses what is hailed as the strongest frost-based special talent in the history of the wizarding world: [Lord of Frost]!

Rumor has it that this special talent comes from the Frost Witch's "divine bloodline".

This deity is the king of Jotunheim, the land of giants.

Yogg-Mir, the progenitor of the Frost Giants!

According to some wizarding historical texts from multiple planes, Yogmir, as the powerful ruler of the Jotunheim plane, for reasons unknown, once wielded a battle axe and defied the gods to fight against the astral gods, ultimately perishing. All the frost giants were also punished by the gods and demoted to the "Frost Remnants," eventually becoming increasingly weak and possibly extinct by now.

Gullweger is the youngest of the twelve legends in the current council, and one of the few witches.

He held a high position in the witch's heart, which is why he was able to compete with the legendary Sun Witch Emon for the position of Grand Council Speaker.

Along the way, Li Wei learned a little about the local customs and culture before hurrying towards Snow King City.

A mansion in Snow King City.

Mudi and Elsa prepared a table of local delicacies.

He knew that the commander liked to drink fine wine and eat delicious food from the mortal world, so he prepared it specially.

"Mudi, I'm a little nervous. Do you think the captain might not like me?" Elsa, dressed in a gorgeous blue dress that exuded femininity, held Mudi's large hand and said softly.

Mudi embraced Elsa's slender waist and gently kissed her forehead, causing Elsa's long eyelashes to tremble.

"He's a good person, don't worry. If it weren't for the leader, I'd probably still be a wizarding apprentice, at most a first-ring wizard, and then I'd be nothing but dust in a few years."

"Then I'm relieved. Do I look pretty today?"

"Of course it's beautiful!"

The two were chatting intimately.

In the wind and snow outside the door, a figure walked alone on the streets of Snow King City, looking somewhat desolate.

"Commander!"

Upon seeing an acquaintance arrive, Emperor Mu immediately rushed out and gave him a bear hug.

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time," Li Wei said with a smile.

"No, we've been waiting for you. Elsa, this is the captain, the Extreme Knight Levi." Mudi took Elsa's hand and brought her to Levi.

"This is Elsa, the Goddess Knight... and now my wife," Mudi introduced to Li Wei.

"Not bad, a perfect match." Li Wei nodded. This couple had a hint of Beauty and the Beast from his past life.

"Come, sit down, let's eat and chat." Elsa looked at Levi.

"This is the man that Emperor Mu is obsessed with! Sure enough, he is exactly the same style as Emperor Mu, but he looks more composed."

The power of his blood and qi was as vast as the ocean. Although I was already at the peak of the legendary realm, I was insignificant in front of him…” Elsa muttered to herself.

After a hearty meal, Li Wei said seriously, "Elsa, over the years, I've learned a lot about you from Mu Di, and I trust your character. Congratulations on becoming the ninth official member of the Twilight Knights!"

Hearing this, Elsa finally felt relieved.

Li Wei mainly wanted to see this legendary knight in person before he could feel comfortable letting her join.

"Thank you, Commander!"

After resting for a day with Mudi, Elsa simply completed the oath-taking ceremony.

Led by Emperor Mu, Li Wei went to the location where the giant ice ape was said to roam.

In the icy hills, a gigantic ape with a huge body and a fierce appearance appeared.

"Captain, this is it. It should contain a different kind of bloodline. I estimate that I will only have a chance to take it down if I reach the Blood Source Realm."

Li Wei looked at the giant ape and smiled: "This giant ape is of both ice and earth element, truly a unique bloodline. I've captured it today and am giving it to you as a wedding gift... If possible, it's still necessary to tame an extraordinary creature for sustainable development."

"Why don't you go help?" Elsa frowned and pinched Mudi's arm.

"If I go, it would be disrespectful to the captain, and I might even hold him back and be disliked by him..." Mu Di shrugged and said, clearly understanding Li Wei's personality very well.

The giant ice ape sensed the terror of the figure approaching from the sky, but it was not afraid. Its unique bloodline allowed it to face Li Wei head-on. With a roar, it leaped high into the air and smashed its fist, which was a combination of earth and frost elements, toward Li Wei!

Li Wei remained unmoved and silent. His right arm transformed into raging flames, forming a giant, fiery hand that blotted out the sky.

boom!

A giant hand slammed down.

The giant ice ape crashed to the ground, creating a deep crater, and could not rise again!

Emperor Mu was used to it, but Elsa's eyes were filled with shock.

She often heard Emperor Mu talk about how powerful the commander was, but she never imagined he was this powerful, suppressing a superhuman being who was close to the third ring with just a few gestures.

Li Wei deliberately held back; otherwise, that palm strike would have surely killed it!

He pulled out a two-ringed spirit-binding ring, which belonged to some unfortunate dark wizard.

Using this magical artifact, Li Wei subdued the giant ice ape and handed it to Emperor Mu.

"Take good care of it. It might have a chance to advance to the third ring in the future and be with you for a long time... If you don't work hard in your cultivation, there's a high probability that it will pass you away."

"Thank you, Commander. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and will not be surpassed by a pet!" Emperor Mu said with high spirits.

"By the way, Captain, this is the inheritance of the 'Frost Body Refining Technique.' I have mastered it and now I'm handing it over to you!" Elsa took out a piece of blue mystic ice.

"I accept it. You can go about your own business from now on. I need to go into seclusion for a period of time, which could be as short as five years or as long as ten years."

Li Wei put away the Frost Body Refining Technique. He glanced at it and realized that the technique was actually of the fifth-ring quality!

It's enough to cultivate to the level of a fifth-ring body-refining wizard, even better than the "Radiant Gold Body Refining Method" he obtained from Balzan.

This level of body-refining technique is rare in the wizarding world.

"Once I break through to the fourth ring, I'll try to integrate these body-refining techniques I have. Perhaps the Golden Witch Poison Body can become even stronger!"

……

Snow King City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Li Wei revealed his cultivation level as a peak third-ring wizard.

In Snow King City, such cultivation level is already considered upper-middle level, so the guards were naturally extremely respectful.

"You've come to the Eye of the Ice Emperor to train, haven't you?" he asked.

Li Wei nodded.

"What level are you looking for, sir?"

"Are these things graded?"

"Yes, the Eye of the Ice Emperor. The deeper you go, the more concentrated the frost elemental power becomes, and the lower the temperature. Therefore, the training chamber is also divided into three levels:"

A low-grade secret chamber requires three Tai Shi per day, a medium-grade one requires ten Tai Shi per day, and the highest-grade one requires thirty Tai Shi per day.

"Let's have a top-class one, rent it for five years first."

"Okay, I'll check you in right away."

The guard led Li Wei to a cave inside the city lord's mansion, and Li Wei followed him deeper and deeper underground.

Before Li Wei came, he had inquired and learned that although the city lord of Snow King City was greedy and shrewd, he was trustworthy.

Therefore, practicing here is generally not a problem.

At a depth of about a thousand meters underground, a huge ice cave appeared, and the view suddenly opened up.

A cold, icy blue pool appeared before Li Wei. The pool was not large, less than a hundred meters in diameter.

However, on the banks of the cold pool and in the center of the pool, there are dozens of secret meditation chambers.

Moreover, judging from the magic arrays outside, most of these secret rooms are in use.

"He really knows how to make money. This city lord must be quite wealthy..." Li Wei thought to himself.

"The superior secret chamber is located at the bottom of the cold pool. You can find your secret chamber by taking your number plate. However, the temperature in the superior secret chamber is extremely low. Even a three-ring protective force field will not be able to withstand it for a long time."

You'd better come out and rest every now and then, otherwise the City Lord's Mansion will not be responsible if you freeze to death inside. You've already read those disclaimers.

Furthermore, any magical duels are strictly prohibited here. At the very bottom of the icy pool, our city lord cultivates year-round. If anyone causes trouble and angers this fifth-ring wizard, the consequences are unimaginable.

"I understand." Li Wei nodded. The cold pool was indeed cold. Even with his physical body, standing on the shore, he felt the long-lost feeling of cold.

Li Wei leaped into the icy pool, continuing to descend as the temperature dropped lower and lower.

He found his own secret room.

At this moment, Li Wei's body surface already felt slightly frozen, but he did not use the Flame Dragon True Body to dispel the cold.

He needs this extreme cold to liquefy his spiritual energy; as long as he doesn't freeze to death, he'll freeze him to death!

He glanced down and saw a wizard's tower standing at the central spring, where the frost element was most concentrated.

This must be the place where the city lord cultivates. With him guarding it, there shouldn't be any problems with the order here.

Li Wei entered the secret chamber and closed the door. There was no cold pool inside, but the temperature was still extremely cold.

He activated the built-in isolation and protection arrays here, and in addition, he set up some arrays of his own.

Finally, he released the Poison Fire Corpse Demon.

"Gilmore, protect me! Anyone who trespasses into the secret chamber, kill them!"

"Yes, Master."

Before he was completely frozen into an ice sculpture, Li Wei swallowed the purple pill that smelled of milk.

The potion melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm, purple current that flowed through his limbs and bones, eventually converging into Li Wei's mind.

The gaseous spiritual energy ring began to tremble, and the ring tower spun rapidly. The extreme cold power calmed the restless spiritual energy, causing it to compress and condense continuously.

Li Wei closed his eyes, his breath grew weaker and weaker, and the ice on his body grew thicker and thicker, layer upon layer, enveloping him.

In the end, he was completely frozen in the ice, motionless like a statue, with only his heart trembling slightly.

His mind was clearer than ever before. With his powerful physique, even if he was frozen, his life would not be in danger, and he could break out of the ice at any time.

"Let's begin."

……

this day.

Li Wei had only been in seclusion in a secret chamber for three months.

Inside the ice sculpture, Li Wei suddenly opened his eyes, his expression strange and somewhat incredulous.

In his mind, on the surface of the gaseous spiritual energy ring, wisps of thick spiritual energy mist lingered.

The mist was drawn into the Ring Tower, and Li Wei's consciousness entered the Ring Tower.

This place is pitch black, an endless dark void.

The white mist that entered it churned, spun, and collapsed, like stars being born in a nebula.

A drop of "dew" begins to condense and eventually takes shape.

The dew hangs high in the dark void, radiating a shimmering glow.

If you look closely, you will find that these dews seem to contain four colors, with earth, fire, wind, and water swirling and rotating within them, just like the changing of the four seasons in the human world.

It is as if a drop of dew is a star, and also a world.

The universe is vast and boundless, containing countless mysteries and truths that emerge and vanish within it.

Before Li Wei could even feel his surprise, another drop of dew appeared, hanging high in the starry sky and becoming a "star".

The two "stars" maintained a distance from each other and rotated slowly.

Then, the third drop, the fourth drop...

It was as if a torrent of water had been unleashed, or a volcano had erupted, and all the accumulated droplets had suddenly burst forth with unstoppable force, flowing for miles!

In just a short while, a full thirty-six drops of dew appeared!

All these "stars" are arranged in a wondrous position in the starry sky inside the Ring of Faith Tower.

The Holy Tower of the Ring of Law provides an unbreakable protection for these "stars".

At this moment, the feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness surfaced in my mind.

After a long silence, Li Wei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"The Fourth Ring Road...that's it?"
