Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 275 Without the truth, my path will not cease! A legend falls, a golden dragon soars to the heavens!

Hades City.

After watching Ania leave, Levi returned to the Wizard Tower.

The sudden turn of events at the Stars Auction was premeditated.

Li Wei vaguely sensed that a storm was brewing.

"The Dark Tower is set to open in about twenty years. I thought that with all the major forces on both the black and white sides busy preparing for the Dark Tower, they wouldn't cause any trouble. But it seems there are still some people who are eager to stir up trouble and are creating problems during the auction. Let's see how the Tower of Stars handles this..."

This matter is somewhat suspicious. The Star Auction is a once-in-a-century event, and the Tower of Stars would certainly take it seriously. They should have anticipated this situation. Perhaps this is just a smokescreen. This isn't the first time they've done something like entrapment.

But what does all this have to do with me, Li Wei? I'm just an unknown rogue wizard who, when faced with a problem, retreats to the mortal realm.

Now that we have the elemental metals, we won't lack the materials for meditation aids for the next twenty years.

Staying in the Endless Sea is pointless; I'd better go back to my little corner of the world.

However, I need to get through these most chaotic days before setting off, lest I be ambushed by a dark wizard on my way home. After all, I did buy something at the auction, and I'm afraid someone might have their eye on me.

So far, the danger perception system hasn't provided any warnings, but this doesn't prove that it's safe outside.

Inside the Wizard's Tower.

Li Wei quietly cultivated himself.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Phoenix willingly tended the fire in the alchemy room, melting the rippled meteorite gold and the shock gold.

In his spare time, Li would visit well-informed places in Hades City to gather information.

this day.

Li Wei held an ancient book in his hands, looking at the introduction about the Soul-Dividing Fruit.

"No wonder even the Yuanhun Wizards fought so fiercely over it; it's such a treasure."

When Aenea mentioned it before, Li Wei thought it was some kind of treasure used to enhance and condense one's primordial spirit, but it wasn't.

Soul-Dividing Fruit.

It is a rare and wondrous fruit that typically grows in places where dark and negative energy accumulates.

In places like the Endless Sea, such treasures are rarely found, except in a very few special secret realms or strange realms. They might appear in the later levels of the Nine Hells, but those are paradises for the [Devil Grand Duke] or the [Death Monarch], and even a Yuanhun Wizard who enters might not return alive.

By nurturing the Soul-Splitting Fruit within the primordial soul, a second primordial soul can be born. If a suitable body is available, it can be refined into a [Primordial Soul Avatar].

The second soul shares a single consciousness with the original soul, the two being one.

However, those with insufficient willpower may suffer from mental breakdown, leading to the development of self-awareness in their second soul, which may even attempt to eliminate the original and take its place.

So there are still drawbacks, and they are significant!

Even so, the elemental spirit wizards still flocked to it.

The higher the level of a wizard, the more they cherish their life.

They cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years before finally achieving the primordial spirit.

Many rogue wizards walked this path with extreme caution, as if treading on thin ice.

Therefore, they would cultivate anything that could enhance their ability to survive.

If this second primordial spirit can be cultivated...

The second soul can handle dangerous tasks such as interdimensional travel and exploring ruins, while the main body can quietly stay in a safe place to cultivate in seclusion.

Gradually, the second soul can even replace the original body's social status, personality, and relationships, causing the entire world to forget the original body.

If the second soul dies unexpectedly, the main body will only suffer some injuries and lose an avatar.

"I wouldn't use something that could cause mental breakdown, even if you gave it to me!"

Who knows how this strong willpower is determined? If you're worried about danger, then stay home and avoid unnecessary outings! Stay home more often and build up your defenses!

There's no need to create multiple accounts or clones, especially things that could backfire on the original; stay away from those!

Li Wei was originally somewhat interested in the Soul-Splitting Fruit.

Now that I know, I've completely given up hope.

He lived a secluded life, spending his days with the control panel, diligently working on repairs.

Time flies, and another six months have passed in the annals of history.

The year 1139 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Frosty Winter.

The end of the 108th year of the Great Expedition of the Five Realms.

On the main battlefield of the Great Crusade, the war between Dragonfire Wizard Rego and Black Wizard Emperor Astar has intensified and reached its final stage.

These two former colleagues are now facing each other on the battlefield.

After the Black Wizard Emperor sought refuge with the Lord of Chaos, that great being personally performed a divine investiture ceremony for him in the Chaos Wilderness, igniting a divine fire.

Asta thus became a god under the Lord of Chaos, his divine fire burning eternally, his god immortal! But he also became the Lord of Chaos's lackey, enslaved by him!

On other battlefields of the Great Crusade, the legendary wizards gradually gained the upper hand. Although the evil gods were immortal, they were also limited by the astral plane. Faced with the ever-evolving wizarding civilization, the defeat of this war of aggression was only a matter of time.

What they didn't know was that turmoil was also occurring above the star realm.

Not long ago, a terrifying force seeped from the dark lands into the transcendent spiritual plane: the Astral Plane.

The war spread from there, without end.

Some high-ranking beings in the astral plane, enjoying the worship of believers and reaping their rewards in their divine kingdoms, were suddenly overwhelmed by the surging, terrifying power, leaving them bewildered.

The boundless land of darkness is a dark forest. It is never short of powerful beings.

A century is but a fleeting moment in the land of darkness.

But within this century, a powerful and aggressive civilization awakened from the ancient depths of space. They only needed to see a campfire in the darkness to follow their instinct for light. Guided by an unyielding will, they methodically carried out their suicidal, moth-to-a-flame invasions.

Wherever it goes, civilization withers away like a candle flame in the wind.

The stars are fading away; that is the lament of civilization.

The last day of the 108th year of the Great Expedition of the Five Realms.

All the legendary wizards had agreed beforehand to launch a final all-out attack on this day, to crush the evil gods and their legions on the four battlefields in one fell swoop!

After launching their all-out attack, they discovered that the evil gods had already withdrawn from the dimensional battlefield and sounded the retreat.

Whether it's the Black Wizard Emperor of the First Battlefield, or the Lady of Famine, the Lord of Doom, or the Grand Duke of Death.

These four deities, along with their subordinates, withdrew from the battlefield of the Five Realms Great Expedition at the cost of sacrificing a portion of their original divine power.

This puzzled the four legendary wizards. They worried that the evil god was playing tricks, so they did not rush to withdraw from the battlefield, but planned to continue to hold out for a while.

On the side of the evil god.

The great Lord of Chaos sent a divine decree, ordering all his evil gods to return to the Chaos Wilderness.

The oracle mentioned that in the desolate borderlands of the astral plane, some weak deities have been dragged down from their pedestals by an unknown and terrifying force, their divine flames extinguished, their divine status crushed, and they have perished completely!

Three hundred thousand years have passed since the end of the ancient era of the wizarding civilization, and no god has ever fallen! Not even the weakest god!

The gods believed that after the existence known as "Sauron" had completely disappeared and possibly perished.

In the entire multiverse, perhaps only a very few powerful planes, such as Nora, the Abyss, the Underworld, and Hell, have civilizations that could rival the gods.

These civilizations either never interact with the gods or are constantly fighting amongst themselves. They would never dare to invade the Star Realm, which is the most powerful and can be said to be the core of the multiverse!

This sudden power possesses the strength of the abyss yet is not chaotic or disorderly; it has an organization and collective nature far exceeding that of wizard civilizations; and it is also imbued with an almost omnipotent, supreme will that controls the entire situation.

No known civilization is more dangerous than it!

It is like a virus that appeared out of nowhere in the dark land, with the supreme will at its core and spanning a long period of time, gradually disintegrating and consuming all civilizations. This is the real... multidimensional catastrophe.

The desolate frontier of the astral plane.

In the endless void sea, there are countless wonders where the power of faith from beings from multiple dimensions is gathered, a sight to behold.

Scattered stars float in the void sea, each one comparable to a plane. This is the divine kingdom of the gods in the star realm, the abode of the gods, and also a place for cultivation.

Today, these divine kingdoms are desolate and ruined, with the remains of angels and servants scattered throughout.

On the surface of a head, about a thousand feet in diameter and resembling a mountain, crawled countless strange and grotesque insects. This was once a deity who lived in the remote wilderness.

In a desolate, virtual sea, a figure existing between illusion and reality sits cross-legged.

He was dressed in a blue robe and sat there listlessly. Judging from his appearance, he was none other than the Deep Blue Sage, Luther.

Luther's expression showed some hesitation and struggle.

While the will of the Mother Nest and the will of the Abyss were locked in battle, he quickly returned the way he came and withdrew from the Abyss Plane.

They thought they had successfully escaped the will of the brood, but found that they were locked onto by the will of the brood again on their return journey.

He knew that he would not be able to return to Nora unless this problem was completely resolved.

So, he decided to go all in and, risking being discovered by the gods, used the legendary spell Star Travel created by Sauron to arrive in the Astral Plane.

This is the legendary Land of Gods, the Supreme Dimension, and the Multi-Brain.

"Although it's a bit impolite... in the known planes of existence, if there's any plane that can truly stop the Dark Zerg, it's only the Astral Plane."

The Dark Insectoids arrived with overwhelming force, and before this, there had been no trace or intelligence about them; the Wizard Civilization knew nothing about them.

They seem to be some kind of terrifying rules and procedures, indiscriminately devouring all civilizations, and I still haven't found a way to break them.

The gods have now begun their fight against the Dark Zerg, but I am not safe... I am certain that the will of the Hive is still within me, watching me in some way that I cannot comprehend.

If I don't let go of this "me," I might bring Nora a devastating disaster.

With this thought in mind, a gold coin spun at the Deep Blue Sage's fingertip, and the elegant lady's smile enveloped him.

"Until the truth is revealed, my path will not cease! Legendary Forbidden Technique:"

The true solution to witchcraft! "

It was accompanied by the chanting of complex incantations.

Ripples began to flow across the surface of the Deep Blue Sage's body, and a rich water elemental power began to dissipate.

Moreover, the identical primordial spirit within the Deep Blue Sage's mind also began to dissipate and disintegrate.

Runes, seemingly containing truth, flowed out and merged into the heavens and earth.

Before a powerful being at the Yuanhun Wizard level or above falls, everything they have taken from heaven and earth will be returned to nature!

This phenomenon is called:

The witch has fallen! (See Chapter 172)

In the Land of Witches, there are two wonders: one is the exceptionally rich elemental power, and the other is the "Traces of Truth" that contain the insights and even inheritances of wizards.

Ultimately, everything about the Blue Sage vanished without a trace in the Astral Void Sea.

A gold coin lay there, its face bearing a determined smile, before it crumbled completely.

It seems that a lingering, unforgettable sentiment is echoing here.

"Bringing the war to the Astral Plane should buy us a relatively long respite. Give civilization time, Nora, we're not ready yet..."

A legend has fallen; heaven and earth grieve!

Soon after, an overwhelming force of will seeped in, then vanished without a trace.

……

Dark lands, boundless void.

Deathly silence and desolation are the main themes here, with powerful black beasts occasionally wandering by, exuding an aura comparable to that of a Yuanhun Wizard.

Black Beasts are a collective term for unknown extraordinary creatures in the Dark Lands. They are capable of traversing the void, so their strength is naturally not weak.

Generally speaking, elemental spirit wizards rarely provoke black beasts.

These creatures are uncontrollable, worthless, and exceptionally powerful. Hunting black beasts would be a thankless and arduous task.

Unlike ordinary extraordinary creatures, the bodies of black beasts often contain strong corrosive and polluting power, which will gradually erode the wizard's spiritual power and physical body. Neither the materials on their bodies nor their bloodlines can be used as materials for alchemy and bloodline modification.

To date, the wizarding civilization has not yet developed an effective method to purify this dark power.

The few available methods are extremely costly, with the cost far exceeding the gains.

The "Cataclysmic Beasts," part of the Forsaken Lands of Nora, are actually the black beasts that descended upon Nora.

The reason why cave wizards hide in caves all day long is largely to avoid these guys.

At this moment, a black beast, about a kilometer long, with tens of thousands of tentacles on its round body, was preying on any possible living thing in the void.

If it's lucky, it might find some planes with broken crystal walls and feast there. If it's unlucky, it might starve for hundreds of years.

This vast, empty void is its territory. The Black Beast Lord is a being comparable to a Soul Mage.

Suddenly, an even deeper shadow fell upon the head of the black beast lord.

A colossal black tower, so immense that even with its vast spiritual power, it could only perceive a fraction of its size, stretched across the void of the dark land, slowly floating.

The tower is ancient and majestic, with four dragons of different shapes carved on it. In the center of the dragons is a white giant snake that controls the earth, fire, wind and water, encircling the entire dark tower and the mortal world!

The black beast lord instinctively felt fear and trembled. It wanted to leave the area where the black tower was located, but found that no matter what it did, it could not escape.

The next moment, a dark opening appeared at the bottom of the black tower, and the black beast lord, along with all the matter in this void, was swallowed up. Among them were rare ores that would make wizards ecstatic, as well as treasures that could only be born in the dark lands.

Even a small plane whose crystal wall had been completely shattered and which was already dead was directly crushed and swallowed up.

The dark tower continued to float in the void, its speed seemingly slow, yet in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have traversed millions of miles.

Occasionally, streaks of light would fly out from it and fall into some nearby planes.

When the Black Beast Lord awoke again, he was in a new world of clear blue water.

Blue skies and white clouds, snow-capped mountains, oceans and rivers, towering trees... It wandered aimlessly here until it came to a vibrant island in the sea.

Here stands a small blue tower by the sea.

Beside the small tower, there were bewildered and unknown humans, dressed in robes.

Among these humans, two were quite special. They were like cast iron, with unique shapes. Upon seeing the Black Beast Lord, they transformed into an Iron-Winged Tyrannosaurus and an Iron Sea Dragon, respectively, ready to fight.

"This is... a black beast? Where have we gotten here?"

One of the group's elemental spirit wizards looked puzzled. At the same time, he unleashed an elemental spirit spell that changed the color of the sky and earth, attacking the black beast.

"I don't know, but this is definitely not the Blue Sage's demiplane anymore... What happened? Did the Blue Sage perish?"

"No way, the Blue Sage is a legendary wizard! A legend can't fall!" Herman said. After his long journey, he had become a die-hard fan of the Blue Sage and was completely captivated by this legendary wizard with his powerful charisma!

"I don't see the Wizard Tower of the Deep Blue Sage..." Stella said with some concern.

"Through my stargazing technique, I discovered that there are no stars outside the crystal walls here; they seem to be blocked by a thick barrier," said a Yuanhun wizard. His expression suddenly turned grave. "I've thought of a place…this is the Dark Ancient Tower!"

"What? The legendary Dark Tower that appears only once every ten thousand years? Doesn't this place require a key to enter?"

"I don't know what's going on either, but this should be the Dark Tower. Perhaps only the Deep Blue Sage knows the truth?"

At this moment, inside the small tower.

There was a pool of blue water in which a small fish, seemingly composed of countless truths and runic knowledge, swam carefree.

On the antique desk, there is a deep blue crystal ball that emits a dreamlike luster. On the surface of the crystal ball, there are words that read: "Deep Blue Butler - First Generation".

Suddenly, a blue light descended from the sky and entered the little fish's forehead. The little fish began to grow bigger and expand, just like the evolution of marine life. It grew limbs and a head, and finally, it became a little girl with blue hair. The little girl grew up and became a young woman. The young woman grew up and became a naked woman with an ethereal temperament and a somewhat confused look.

The woman stepped out of the bath, her eyes shifting from confusion to depth, and then to a gleam of wisdom.

Then, she suddenly burst into laughter, radiating an aura comparable to that of a primordial spirit.

"So this is how the Mother Nest's will lock onto me! Hahaha, it was worth it. At least I've found a way to break free from being locked on!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a slightly weathered voice rang out from the deep blue crystal ball.

"Is that you, Master?"

"It's the first generation... I didn't expect you could still operate it." The woman smiled.

"It's been almost ten thousand years... Master, you're back?! Ever since you left the ninth floor of the Dark Tower last time, I've automatically entered a period of slumber. I know you must have developed an even more advanced Deep Blue outside, but I think I can still be of use."

"Thank you. Has anything happened in these past ten thousand years?"

"No, but how did you get into the Dark Tower? It seems there are still twenty years until the next opening... If you can live until now, you must already be a legend, a legendary wizard, and it would be impossible for you to get in now." The crystal ball asked, and if it had an expression, it would definitely be full of question marks.

"Indeed, the time has not come yet. I have indeed reached the legendary realm, but I am no longer a legend. I encountered a powerful being in the Dark Land and was locked on by him. Helpless, I could only commit suicide using the true sorcery passed down by Sauron, and my physical body and soul were scattered."

However, when a person commits suicide using the "True Interpretation of Witchcraft" and their spirit returns to the underworld, they will receive special care from the beings there.

After all, Sauron had already spoken to them beforehand.

Every legend can be reincarnated and reborn with all the memories and knowledge of their past life. Now I finally understand Sauron's power. Without this forbidden technique, the wizarding civilization could never have developed so rapidly!

"Huh? You used to be a legend, but you're not anymore? Doesn't that mean you have to start all over again? My God, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. Becoming a legend is so difficult, why are you doing this to yourself..."

"This isn't my first reincarnation and cultivation, so you don't need to worry so much. Ten thousand years ago, in my first life, after this Dark Ancient Tower opened, I used my primordial soul body to fight my way to the ninth floor and obtained the sacred medicine [Phoenix Fruit] and the Sun-level rare item [North Sea Fish]."

I placed you here to guard the [Fish of the North Sea] because I once divined that I might return here ten thousand years from now, but I have no way of knowing the specifics.

Shortly after I obtained the Phoenix Fruit in my first life, I successfully advanced to the rank of Grand Wizard. However, my days were numbered, so I refined it into the Water of Reincarnation and reincarnated to start anew.

"Under the guidance of a being from the underworld who claimed to be a friend of Sauron, I was born from the womb of a male child of Chaos... I guess I've been a man for once, what a strange experience." The woman smiled bitterly.

She continued, "The male fetus was the Child of Chaos, born into a small wizarding family. He was not favored from the beginning and was sent to a mortal settlement. However, they did not know that although the male fetus was the Child of Chaos, he possessed a lucky body that I still cannot understand, as well as all the memories and knowledge of a nine-ringed archmage hidden deep in his soul."

He cultivated faster than the other exceptionally talented disciples in his family. At the age of two hundred, he was already a fourth-circle wizard. While being hunted down, he fell into the bottomless abyss, but in a secret realm, he obtained a Sun-level Truth Treasure, which completely made up for his talent deficiency and gave him the rare second talent, [Child of the Sea].

In this life, I directly cultivated to the legendary realm and also developed the seventh generation of Deep Blue. Unfortunately, with my true understanding, it also dissipated.

Before I died, I vaguely sensed the existence of the Dark Tower. Using all the power of the demiplane, I tried to teleport the veteran wizards from the demiplane into this place, using you as a beacon.

I thought I would fail, after all, even the gods couldn't force their way into the Dark Tower, but to my surprise, I succeeded... The Dark Tower seemed to have a will and accepted us. The veterans successfully entered, and I also successfully channeled my true spirit into this avatar made from the artifact of truth.

For me in this life, there is no more suitable vessel than the avatar crafted from this Sun-level artifact.

With the knowledge accumulated over two lifetimes, it wouldn't be difficult for me to become a legend again. And after clashing with that being for so long, I've also gained a lot.

In this lifetime, I am even confident that I can go further and step into... beyond the legendary realm!

"Once I've recovered some strength using the resources of this ninth level, I'll take you and these veterans with me when the Dark Tower opens again, and we'll leave the ninth level together... and go home!"

The woman smiled, her smile radiant.

Her appearance in this life is exactly the same as in her first life.

"This is amazing... I never imagined that during the ten thousand years I was asleep, you had already lived two lives and experienced so many interesting things. Master, this time, let me accompany you on this journey. Let's start anew and embark on a new adventure!" said the first generation Deep Blue happily.

"By the way, what name do you plan to use this time?" Deep Blue asked.

"Lucy, the Fish of the North Sea!"

Suddenly, a gleaming gold coin appeared in Lucy's hand. She looked down at the coin, and the elegant smile of the lady on it seemed to last forever.

Lucy looked at the woman who looked exactly like her and gave her the same smile.

She looked out the window from the wizard's tower; the black beast had been killed by the wizards, its body shattered into pieces.

She opened the window and breathed in the fresh air.

"Thank you very much, Lord Soren!"

……

The 109th year of the Great Expedition.

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1140 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

On this day, Li Wei turned 150 years old.

After convening the 38th formal meeting of the Twilight Knights, he went alone to the Wizard Tower to carry out the final forging work.

After more than six months of smelting work in Phoenix, the rippled meteorite and the vibrating gold have turned into two pools of wriggling liquid.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Levi let Phoenix leave.

"Hypocritical thanks, huh! It's just a sugar-coated bullet... Phoenix, you can't forget the flames of revenge deep in your memory! And your true name: Anvada the Flame Avenger!"

Phoenix left happily and found a place to quietly digest the trace of divine fire within its body! "Soon, within a hundred years, I will be able to return to the fifth level!" it thought expectantly.

Three days later.

Inside the alchemy chamber.

In front of Li Wei, inside the blazing furnace, a circular shield about one meter in diameter was rotating.

The shield looks very exquisite, with two colors, light blue and ochre, blended together.

"It's like the Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish pattern from my past life..." Li Wei murmured, this was not something he did intentionally.

He simply fused water elemental metal and earth elemental metal together and forged them into a shield, which automatically took on this pattern.

Based on his peak-level weapon-forging knowledge, Li Wei continuously added auxiliary materials to make the shield even more durable.

Finally, amidst the raging flames, a two-tone shield radiating a legendary golden light emerged.

The shield appeared as soon as it entered Li Wei's body.

Inside the Golden Serpent Palace, the giant golden serpent coiled around the palace pillars began to spin excitedly, emitting a dragon's roar.

Then, the shield in front of Li Wei turned into a golden light and disappeared right in front of him.

When it reappeared, it was already in the Golden Serpent Palace.

The shield automatically rotates around the golden snake, protecting it.

Meanwhile, the golden serpent spewed forth its golden power, continuously nourishing the shield.

Li Wei had a sudden thought.

A shield appeared in his hand.

At this moment, a golden snake with its head and tail connected wraps around the surface of the shield.

Under the unification of the golden serpent, the water element metal and the earth element metal are perfectly fused together to form this shield.

"The third divine weapon is complete, and it will be called... the Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield!"

Li Wei——————

Golden Serpent Breathing Technique (Bloodline Transformation III): Tier 15 (50,000/700,000), Special Effects: Metamorphosis Scales (Level 3), Dragon's Might, Golden Serpent Playing in Water. Bloodline Dharma Form: Golden Serpent Frenzy. Exclusive Weapon: Golden Dragon Soaring to the Heavens.

……

Li Wei arrived at the training room and reinforced it with a magic array.

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Dragon Sky-Defying Shield appeared from his body, gradually growing larger, and the feeling of being connected by blood was so intimate.

Then, the golden shield formed an illusion and revolved around Livy.

"Come on, Gilmore, Phoenix, focus your attacks on me!"

Gilmore, riding the body of a poisonous fire-eating corpse demon, unleashed a barrage of shadow spikes.

Phoenix also unleashed a thin, long line of fire; the temperature was so high that space itself seemed to distort.

boom!

The two level-four attacks were deflected by the golden light surrounding Li Wei, and the force of the rebound poured out.

The Poison Fire Corpse Demon was blasted against the wall, the magic circle shattered, and it almost collapsed the wizard tower.

Phoenix is ​​alright; the rebounding attacks won't hurt it.

Li Wei looked delighted.

"Besides defense, it can also reflect a portion of the attacks? Interesting. This must be a characteristic of Vibranium and Ripple Meteorite, which has been activated by the Golden Dragon Sky Shield."

"Let me see how many layers of armor I've stacked! Golden Serpent Dharma Form, Golden Dragon Soaring to the Heavens, Earth Dragon Barrier, Heavy Water Barrier, Golden Witch Poison Body, Frosty Wood Body, Golden Serpent Scales... Seven layers of armor! Once I learn a fourth-ring protective force field in the future, that'll be eight layers! Full of security!"

Li Wei stroked the Golden Dragon Sky-Defying Shield, reluctant to let go, before putting the shield back into his body.

"If I were to encounter that woman from the Frozen Realm again now, I definitely wouldn't be as pathetic as before!"

No wizard would go to such lengths as Levi to layer seven or eight armors. If other wizards knew, they might even give Levi the nickname "Turtle Wizard."

Li Wei's body.

The Crimson Emperor Dragon embraced the Crimson Dragon Iron Slash, the Scarlet Dragon was draped in the Scarlet Shadow, and the Golden Serpent was surrounded by the Golden Dragon Sky-Ruling.

"Three of the six divine items have been collected..."

Li Wei had a premonition that if he gathered all six dimensional divine weapons and advanced all the breathing techniques except for the Nightmare Dragon to the Blood Source Third Transformation realm!

So, below the Yuanhun level, let's not even talk about him being invincible—that's just wishful thinking and could get him struck by lightning... At the very least, even if he encountered a proper fifth-ring wizard, with his fourth-ring wizard cultivation, he could definitely hold his own against them! He might even... defeat them!

"Now that the divine weapon is complete, it's time to leave Hades City. Last year's Star Auction was a signal; the Endless Sea is likely to descend into chaos again... Time to go back to the mortal realm for refuge."

Li Wei had the Mink Tribe deal with the Wizard's Tower, while he himself went to the Witch's House.

Before leaving, he had to say goodbye to Triss, the thickest thigh he now possessed.

Triss's residence.

"Although you seem calm on the surface, I can still sense your hidden pride. You've made another breakthrough, haven't you?" Triss grinned.

"A small breakthrough..." Li Wei thought to himself that the lady's observation skills were quite strong. Even his acting skills, which were worthy of being an Oscar-winning actor, were seen through. She was indeed a Yuanhun Wizard. He would have to be careful when dealing with Yuanhun in the future!

Did you participate in last year's Star Auction?

"I participated."

"Then be careful. In the past six months, a group of dark wizards have been robbing people who have participated in auctions and won bids... The Tower of Stars has captured quite a few dark wizards, but there are still quite a few at large."

"Does the lady know what kind of organization this is? It feels like it's organized and premeditated."

"It's unclear; the special task force from law enforcement is conducting further investigations."

"Which wizard is in charge of this task force?"

"What? You suspect that there was insider theft within the Tower of Stars?" Triss retorted.

"No, I'm just curious... The only people who can clearly know all the information about the bidders are the auction organizers, right?" Li Wei asked.

"That's what we all thought too, so the Tower of Stars thoroughly investigated all the organizers of the auction, and even authorized the use of cruel soul-searching magic! Indeed, one staff member was highly suspicious. When his soul was searched, his soul spontaneously combusted. A powerful figure had tampered with him, cutting off this lead. As for the person in charge of investigating this case, it was a Soul Wizard from Lilith's Hut."

Li Wei pondered to himself, still assuming that the head of law enforcement was from the Lightney family.

"Madam, I heard that some elemental spirit wizards were involved in that battle, and even Wizard Takumi was seriously injured. I wonder if those elemental spirit wizards who caused the trouble have been caught?"

"No, the Soul-Splitting Fruit was obtained by one of the Yuan Souls. Afterwards, he used dimensional gate magic to escape to the Dark Land... That place is a paradise for Yuan Soul-level black wizards, a true lawless land. They roam across multiple dimensions, and even the Wizard Council is helpless against them."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

If those dark sorcerers of the primordial spirits were to run into the human world, he would have to consider whether or not to go back.

However, if the parliament were to investigate seriously, it would be difficult for anyone to hide.

Therefore, he also felt that these elemental spirit wizards had most likely really left Nora!

"Madam, I'm leaving Hades City for a while. Is there anything else you need to tell me about the Witch's House?"

"It's nothing, just don't forget to give me feedback on the research tasks for those potions I assigned you... Also, regarding the herbs with dispelling and purifying effects you asked about before, I have a list here. You can check if they have them at the witch's shop. If not, I'm helpless." Triss handed Levi a list.

Thank you, ma'am!

"Are you going back to the human world this time?" Triss suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"That's good. Go to the human world and gather some information. Our Witch's House, along with five other towers, will be sending representatives to establish branches in the human world soon. This new round of interdimensional convergence will bring some opportunities. This will be the best of times and the worst of times. Although you can't enter the Dark Tower, if you can seize this opportunity, your primordial spirit will have a chance in the future!"

"Thank you, ma'am, I will try my best." With the list in hand, Levi left the Witch's House.

"With Ms. Triss's list, it's much easier for me to pinpoint the substitute for cherry tomatoes in the purification potion... I've been researching for so long, and in the end, I still have to rely on a woman. How shameful!"

There's no way around it; Li Wei's knowledge as a fourth-circle pharmacist is worlds apart from Triss's.

In Li Wei's Wizarding World, the Golden Alien Insect is still dormant. With a purification potion, it can be completely transformed into a Totem Insect.

In addition, the Horcrux fragments bought from Jacob can also come in handy.

After searching through the witch's shop for the herbs on the list and purchasing some of them, Levi left.

Port of Hades.

"Lord Li Wei, wait a moment..." Li Wei said as he boarded the boat.

A black-haired witch dressed in a black robe walked barefoot, swaying gracefully.

"Who are you?" Li Wei had never seen this person before.

"I am Sera the Phantom Witch."

"Oh, you must be the Child of Water, I've heard of you." Levi seemed to have heard Aonia mention you before, and because you were the Child of the Elements, he remembered you.

Sera wore a calm smile, but Levi could sense the undisguised arrogance emanating from her.

As one in a million, the Child of the Elements, she certainly has the right to be arrogant.

"I've long heard that Lady Triss values ​​you highly and even fought for a spot in the Dark Tower for you. I've come here this time to make friends with you and have a friendly spar. Among the witches of my generation in the House of Witches, those who are qualified to fight me are all in seclusion. After thinking it over, I think only Lord Levi is the best."

"Sorry, I don't have time, I have to go out," Li Wei said politely with a smile, declining her request.

This pampered young lady is really bored out of her mind; he thought something good was going to happen.

Ignoring Nasera's expression, he boarded the pink airship and flew towards the inner ring.

Sera's expression remained calm, though a hint of confusion lingered within her. "His emotional fluctuations are so indifferent, as if even facing me, the Child of the Elements, he doesn't care much, even showing a sense of disdain... Interesting."

She withdrew her gaze, bit her lip lightly, stamped her foot slightly, turned and left, preparing to go back and study the strategy for the first five floors of the Dark Tower.

At that moment, a white-robed wizard with an expressionless face brushed past her and left the port.

A slight thought stirred within her as she watched the white-robed wizard disappear in the exact same direction as Li Wei!

She was born with a magical talent: the ability to sense the emotional fluctuations of certain living beings.

She sensed a faint, lurking killing intent emanating from that white-robed wizard!

"I've heard that since the Star Auction, a group of people have been hiding in various witch cities, committing evil deeds when people are out. Could that person just now be one of them? If so, Li Wei is in danger. Anyone who dares to attack Li Wei, who is at the same level, must have accomplices, and there are probably more than just one fourth-ring wizard!"

Upon realizing this, she immediately sent a message to Ania. Ania arrived upon hearing the message.

"You're saying Lord Li Wei is in danger?"

"Yes, I saw someone following him."

"Maybe they were just going that way."

"My intuition is usually very accurate. Are you going or not?"

"Go! He's my friend, and more importantly, my mother's friend! How can I stand by and watch him be in danger?"

Aenea and Sera concealed their presence and gave chase.

On the road.

"By the way, did Li Wei practice charm magic?" Sera asked.

"Really? Do male wizards practice charm spells to seduce female wizards?" Ania asked, puzzled.

Wait a minute, is the reason my mother is so attentive to Li Wei because she's fallen for his charms? Is he trying to seduce my mother?

That's impossible! Even a male succubus lord couldn't bewitch my mother, let alone Li Wei.

"I don't know, I'm probably overthinking it." Because of her sensory talent, Sera is quite sensitive to things that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

Just as the two were traveling, they sensed a magical fluctuation coming from ahead.

"Hurry up!" Ania urged, suppressing the random thoughts in her mind.

Sera's eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness and anticipation: "Beneath his calm exterior lies a rather arrogant heart, yet in the end, he still needs me to save the day."

As the chosen one of the elements and the proud daughter of a witch's family, most of the wizards she encountered, whether male or female, were filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration when facing her, and sometimes even turned into murderous intent!

Only this Levi's emotional fluctuations were... disdain, which made Sera very curious about whether this male wizard Triss cared about actually had the strength to match such inner confidence.
