Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 291 Advancement of Dharma Body! [Six Paths God]! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

There is no rule against "bullying the weak" in the wizarding world.

However, given his status as the Gold Mage King, especially as the Minister of Law Enforcement, it would indeed be somewhat beneath him to interfere in the battle between two junior sixth-ring wizards.

In addition, the Flower Witch has many admirers in the Starry Sea due to her beauty and talent.

That's why public opinion has been so critical of the Gold-Melting Witch King. However, a powerful figure like the Witch King naturally wouldn't care about the opinions of those insignificant people, as long as it's beneficial to his own family.

If Li Wei were in the position of the Molten King, he would most likely do the same.

However, he already disliked the Letney family because of the Thunder Dragon family incident, and since they were in the same wizarding organization as the Knights of Flowers, he naturally sided with them.

It's not about right or wrong, it's just a difference in perspective.

Li Wei continued reading the newspaper, wanting to see if there were any follow-up events after he killed Mattias, but so far, there seemed to be no reports.

In today's chaotic situation, no one cares about the death of Mattias.

As for Matthias's claim that he was a disciple of the Yuanhun Wizard, Li Wei was highly skeptical; it was probably just a tactic commonly used by members of large organizations to threaten others before their death.

Suddenly, Li Wei noticed another message in the corner, not too big or too small, from an acquaintance.

[Thunder Spear Soret has been spotted in the Endless Sea. Many dark wizard hunters went to his location to ambush him, but he escaped. Later, it was discovered that a fifth-circle weapon maker's wizard tower had been destroyed, and his spirit tablet, kept by relatives, was shattered, suggesting he was brutally murdered by Soret!]

"Soret is still around? I thought he was long dead. This guy's got some nerve, carrying such a huge bounty, and he still hasn't been caught. Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. The ancients were right." Li Wei couldn't help but sigh.

From the time he killed Rex in Stromgarde to the present, his feud with the Thunder Dragon family has lasted for a century.

After reading the newspaper, Li Wei got out of bed.

According to Triss, the Dark Tower will open in eight years.

That is, the year 1165 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

In these eight years, Li Wei can still do a lot to reach the peak of his strength and condition.

Then head to the Dark Tower, a place brimming with both opportunities and perils!

Leaving the Imperial Palace, Li Wei took to the air and arrived at the Seven Kings Hell Formation.

He released the Coral Witch and her two henchmen from the Wizard of Oz's house.

The Coral Witch lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Li Wei's face. As a former prodigy, she had lost all face in front of Li Wei and even cried uncontrollably, which was utterly shameful.

"This magic array is divided into seven hells: Rolling Stones, Sea of ​​Fire, Wind Blades, Dead Sea, Frost, Thunder, and Mountain of Knives. From now on, you will be stationed in the Dead Sea Hell for two hundred years. You are only three hundred years old now, and you have already reached the fourth ring of perfect cultivation. You still have four hundred years of lifespan ahead of you. You can still cultivate in this magic array. If you perform well, your mental injuries may have a chance to be repaired in the future, and advancing to the fifth ring will be just around the corner," Li Wei said calmly.

"My mental injury was caused by a failed breakthrough, which damaged the very essence of my soul... I've studied the relevant materials, and unless an existence at the Yuanhun level or above is willing to expend their own soul power to repair it for me, my injury is impossible to heal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become so disheartened, left the organization, and become an outlaw," the Coral Witch said in a low voice, her resentment and helplessness overflowing.

"Nothing is impossible. As long as you perform well and do your job faithfully, that's enough," Li Wei said confidently with a smile.

For him, possessing primordial soul power was not difficult; all he needed was a fragment of a soul weapon.

This Coral Witch has quite a talent. If Li Wei is willing to nurture her, she will surely become one of his top generals in the future.

He summoned Ur, Blood Demon, Red Eye, and the others, saying, "You can ask them if I'm any good to my men."

"Madam, believe me, you'll love it here. No one cares about their employees more than the boss!" Red Eyes quickly said.

"That's right, you're a dark wizard too, aren't you? You've come to the right place, you'll save yourself a hundred years of detours." The vampire chuckled awkwardly.

"To be honest, as a discarded person of the old era, it was here that I found the value of my life. On my first day, the boss gave me a set of fourth-circle spells." Ur's words came from the bottom of his heart.

What a garbage, god-forsaken place! Even dogs wouldn't go there! I, Ur, will spend my whole life guarding this gate!

Guarding the gate for a hundred years, born into the Fifth Ring Road!

Seeing the veteran employees' high praise, which seemed genuine, the Coral Witch gave a helpless, bitter smile: "I have no other choice but to do my best to protect this place. If one day you can truly help me heal my original wounds, I will be eternally grateful!"

"Here's your witchcraft. I'm returning it to you. I've fixed it for you." Li Wei handed a fork and a piece of shell armor to the Coral Witch.

Both of these magical artifacts are fourth-ring artifacts, of average quality. They were damaged by Li Wei before, but not completely destroyed. With Li Wei's fourth-ring artifact crafting skills, repairing them shouldn't be a problem.

The Coral Witch looked incredulous and tentatively asked, "Are you really giving it back to me?"

"Okay, take it."

"Thanks, boss!"

The Coral Witch quickly thanked her, carefully put away the witch artifact, tried it out, and found it to be perfectly fine, even feeling that it was of slightly better quality than the previous witch artifact.

This mysterious boss is far beyond her imagination.

A weapon maker, a magic array wizard, and a wizard who cultivates both body refinement and magic? What else is there that he can't do?

The Coral Witch now realizes that when she fought her, her boss hadn't used his full strength at all. Although they were both fourth-ring wizards, her boss's strength far surpassed hers!

"There are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher levels to reach. This person is either a Yuanhun Wizard who has possessed another body, or a legendary being who has been reincarnated and is cultivating again... Ordinary elemental beings are nothing in front of him!" The Coral Witch was completely convinced.

Following such a being doesn't seem like a bad thing; in some ways, it's even better than being in Lilith's Hut.

After all, in Lilith's Hut, although the Child of Elements is also a genius, they don't need another one like her.

But when Coral Witch looked at Red-Eyed, Blood Demon, and Ur—these three oddballs—she felt secretly pleased with herself.

Here, I might be given even more important responsibilities!

The Coral Witch has two henchmen: Freddy, from the Ocean School, and Michael, from the Hurricane School.

After a series of empty promises and a combination of carrot and stick tactics, Freddy and the Coral Witch jointly guarded the Dead Sea Hell, while Michael guarded the Windblade Hell.

In this way, all four major factions—Rolling Stone, Sea of ​​Fire, Wind Blade, Dead Sea, and Earth Fire Feng Shui—are now guarded.

In addition, Li Wei had previously refined the Seven Kings Hell.

The Seven Kings Hell's defenses and destructive power have been enhanced once again.

He believed that if he were to fight Lady Ghost again, it would be much easier to kill her.

"Only ice, lightning, and hellish knives remain. I should be able to collect them all before entering the Dark Tower," Li Wei pondered.

Before leaving, Li Wei took the Poison Fire Corpse Demon with him. He no longer needed the demon to guard the place; he could keep it by his side to assist him.

After dealing with the Coral Witch, Li Wei returned to the Imperial Palace and began to sort through the gains of the previous period.

Li Wei received a total of three million Tai Shi from the Four Monsters of the Dark Sea, most of which came from their leader, the Coral Witch.

As for those fourth- or third-ring magical artifacts, Li Wei allowed them to continue holding them. After all, they were security guards, and it wouldn't be good to leave them empty-handed.

Li Wei already knew many of the other spells and related knowledge. After recording these spells into his knowledge base, Li Wei discovered that there was one spell that looked quite good.

That was a domain-type spell used by the Coral Witch as her innate magic.

Fourth Ring Spell: Jellyfish Barrier.

"Hmm, this spell has opened up a new avenue for me. Perhaps my future talent spell could be a domain-based one, such as a gravity field, an anti-air field, or a magnetic field."

In a sense, this innate spell is like a small, portable magic circle that can be cast instantly, affecting any target that enters its area.

Looking at the Tai Shi in the storage bag, Li Wei felt relieved.

"That's 800 million. Before entering the Dark Tower, I'll set aside a few million for the magic array and the consumption of alchemical creatures, etc. The rest will be converted into my combat power," Li Wei planned in his mind.

After taking stock of the Four Monsters of the Dark Sea, it was time for Matthias's spoils of war.

Looking back now, Matthias's death was so tragic.

Despite being a seasoned fifth-ring wizard comparable to Soret, he was utterly defeated by himself.

Of course, ninety percent of the credit goes to those two powerful figures from the mysterious organization.

"As a senior fifth-ring wizard and apothecary, Matthias's storage bag probably contains a lot of valuable items, maybe even fifth-ring breakthrough potions. It's just a pity that they all went to that mysterious organization," Li Wei sighed.

"However, I should be content with the alchemist's legacy and the fifth-circle sorcerer's artifact."

Li Wei opened the "Potion Compendium," compiled thousands of years ago by a fifth-ring alchemist. It contained hundreds of potion recipes, most of which were low-level, with relatively few mid-level or higher.

However, Li Wei did have the recipes for the Five Rings Meditation Aid Potion and the Breakthrough Potion that he needed most, respectively called "Demon Soul Potion" and "Crystal Heart".

In addition, it includes some other functional medicines, which greatly enriches Li Wei's pharmacist knowledge base.

He selected some potion recipes that might be used in the Dark Tower and immediately began having his men find the raw materials to prepare some, just in case.

As for the materials for the Five Rings Breakthrough Potion, he prepared them as he saw fit.

With so much money now, he doesn't need to be obsessed with making his own medicine; he can simply buy potions through legal channels.

With his current talent, plus the help of the Ring Tower, crystallization shouldn't be a problem once he's fully prepared.

If we can find some more artifacts of truth in the Dark Tower, then the Fifth Ring will be a sure thing, with absolutely no possibility of failure!

Immediately afterwards, Li Wei took out a thin, blood-red book and felt the cover.

Gargamel's Book of Seals!

This is the five-ringed magical artifact he has been longing for.

Its function is very simple: to seal any living thing into the book, making it the "book spirit" of the sealed book.

For Li Wei, the greatest purpose of this magical artifact was to bring the extraordinary beings who practiced his breathing techniques into the Dark Ancient Tower.

After all, he wasn't sure if there were any extraordinary creatures he needed inside the Dark Tower. If not, his cultivation of the Knight's Breathing Technique would be in trouble.

Of the five pages in the Book of Seals, only the fourth page contains a Level 4 peak-level [Shadow Wyvern], an extraordinary creature even rarer than the [Wind and Thunder Wyvern].

An adult Shadow Wyvern has a good chance of advancing to the fifth ring.

Even with Li Wei's emotional state, he was somewhat excited, because the Shadow Wyvern might be able to solve the problem of his slow progress in cultivating the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique.

He had been using secret medicines made by third-level vampires for cultivation, but this was not a long-term solution.

Li Wei wanted to find a better hybrid dragon-type secret medicine outside of the vampire clan.

Negative energy is an extremely broad concept, encompassing negative things such as poison, darkness, blood, death, and shadows.

As a shadow creature, the Shadow Wyvern is a typical negative energy creature, and also a rare shadow category among them.

In fact, Li Wei had previously considered using negative energy dragons of the death type, but after researching them, he found that they were all... bone dragons, just a bunch of skeletons with no blood at all.

Li Wei chanted the incantation.

The blood-red book opened automatically, and on the fourth page, the shadowy winged dragon suddenly came to life.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow appeared in front of Li Wei, swelling into a black bipedal dragon with a wingspan of tens of meters, a ferocious face, and sharp spikes on its back.

It looks like a dark version of Raja.

After communicating with the dragons using their bloodline, Li Wei learned that the Shadow Wyvern was named [Nightfang Sanerilis].

This wasn't a name Mattias gave it, but rather a name from its bloodline memory, similar to Gustav.

Because Li Wei had already refined the Book of Seals, the Shadow Wyvern immediately prostrated itself in front of him as soon as it appeared.

Li Wei touched its head.

"That's great, Raja will have company now."

Li Wei did not rush to draw blood, but instead called Raja over first.

Raja, who was a size smaller than the Shadow Wyvern, flew over quickly and was startled when he saw Nightfang enjoying Livi's caress.

"Damn it, catching me off guard and trying to steal my affections?" Raja hurriedly flew around Levi, squawking loudly, his inner monologue quite dramatic.

Nightfang watched Raja warily, like a black panther about to hunt, its muscles tense, wings swept back, and tail wagging restlessly.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Li Wei quickly said, "Raja, I'm giving you a chance, you'd better seize it."

This guy really is a steel straight dragon.

He drove Raja away. Feelings can't be rushed; let them develop slowly.

Li Wei was quite curious: if Raja could really mate with Nightfang, what kind of offspring would they have?

After developing a relationship with Yeya for a while, Li Wei sent her back.

He was making plans in his mind.

This time, we entered the Dark Tower.

As for the wizards, there shouldn't be any major problems. Just prepare forty years' worth of potions in advance and bring them in.

As for the knights, even if you try to extract decades' worth of secret medicine at once, squeezing Raja and the others dry three times over, it won't work.

Therefore, all of their main supernatural beings must be brought in.

"The Book of Seals has only five contract slots, which can be used to contract extraordinary creatures from level one to level five. Level one and level two are not very useful. In reality, there are only three slots: level three, level four, and level five."

I now possess six dimensional breathing techniques, so these contract slots are definitely not enough.

There are only a few slots available, so Li Wei will definitely have to make a choice.

As for modifying or replicating Gargamel's Book of Seals, with his current level of knowledge, he simply cannot do so.

From Triss, Levi learned that many other top wizarding organizations have similar magical artifacts that allow them to bring in extra people beyond the key quota for the Dark Tower. However, the number of people allowed in is very small and there are many restrictions. The main factor is still the quota for the key itself.

Besides Li Wei, with the Book of Seals and the Ancient Tower Key, he can bring five extraordinary beings into it.

Leon, Raja, Fiery Blood Frenzy Dragon, and Crimson Nether Sparrow are four characters that Li Wei must bring along.

Lyon needs no introduction; he's Levi's most capable assistant and an indispensable companion for murder and arson.

Raja, a rare wind and thunder attribute, a level four hybrid dragon, is an essential element for training as a Sky Dragon.

The Fiery Blood Frenzy Dragon is essential for practicing the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique and can also be used as an auxiliary potion for the Deathly Ash Dragon Breathing Technique.

The Crimson Netherworld Sparrow, a descendant of a level three peak immortal bird, is the main ingredient in the Death Dragon Breathing Technique. The level three slot in the Book of Seals was prepared for it.

There's another pitfall that Li Wei needs to carefully consider.

The Golden Serpent Breathing Technique has two attributes, and its secret ingredients come from "Drilling Dragon Earthworm" and "Azure Armored Fish Dragon". This requires two slots.

Li Wei was not worried about the final Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique.

Within the Dark Tower, it should be possible to enter the Nightmare World normally, where you can then search for what's there.

"There are still eight years left, there must be other ways... It would be best to bring all these extraordinary creatures in, if that doesn't work, we can search for them in the Dark Tower."

In fact, when he learned that he was going to enter the Dark Tower, Li Wei had already begun to consciously stockpile knight's secret medicine.

He has now stockpiled enough secret medicine to sustain him for several more years of cultivation.

However, compared to the exploration time of the Dark Tower, this is still far from enough.

Next, Li Wei pondered solutions while simultaneously cultivating his spiritual practice.

Time flies, and a year has passed in no time.

The year 1158 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of budding.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Li Wei's momentum has increased slightly compared to a year ago.

Over the past year, Celia has helped Levi prepare all the materials for the meditation aid.

These materials are enough for Li Wei to continue taking drugs for forty years!

Many wizards are lucky if they take supplementary potions once a year.

Even other prodigies might not be as extravagant as Li Wei, who has access to the maximum resources!

The cost was that Livy spent a whopping several million sterlings.

With such strong financial backing, Li Wei's spiritual cultivation went smoothly, without any obstacles or bottlenecks whatsoever.

In just one year, it has condensed six more drops of spiritual energy dew.

Li Wei's mental strength rose with the tide, reaching 325.

He felt that he might break through to the fifth environmental realm faster than expected.

If all goes well, he will be able to crystallize during this trip to the Dark Tower! He will then reach the final stage before reaching the Yuanhun realm!

Li Wei had also successfully mastered the Gargoyle Body Refining Method he had previously obtained from Ur, and was now slowly cultivating it in the Dark Tower.

In terms of chivalry, Li Wei's divine weapon, the Crimson Dragon Ironbreaker, was the first to be obtained and used most frequently, so he was the first to grind it to level three.

After the liver reaches stage three, some changes occur.

Li Wei——————

Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique: ...Exclusive Weapon: Crimson Dragon Iron Slayer (Level 3 Limit/Reforgeable)

(At the current level, the exclusive weapon provides a 30% boost to the main attribute, which has reached the level cap for the current quality. It needs to be reforged and reinforced using high-level materials to match the increase in bloodline strength. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the exclusive weapon may be damaged.)

After level three, each level up increases the main attribute by 15%.

……

"As expected, level four elemental metals are not enough. The main reason is that the Crimson Emperor Dragon bloodline is too strong. Ordinary materials of the same level simply cannot withstand it. We must use higher-level materials... What a headache."

Li Wei sighed inwardly.

However, the level three Crimson Dragon Iron Slash also increases Li Wei's strength by 30%, which is more than enough for him to use, so he is not in a hurry to upgrade.

Apart from Crimson Dragon Slashing Iron, other skills like Golden Dragon Soaring to the Sky, Scarlet Shadow, and Undying Armor are still at the second level.

Both the Golden Dragon Soaring to the Heavens and the Undying Armor are level 5 elemental metals, so they should last a long time.

The upgrade of the divine weapon was secondary; this year, there was another major improvement: Li Wei's bloodline avatar finally advanced.

This skill helped Li Wei overcome many difficulties in the early stages. In addition, it can be upgraded infinitely. As long as his mental strength and physical cultivation meet the standards, there will be no bottleneck. Therefore, it has always been Li Wei's signature skill.

Li Wei——————

Bloodline Dharma Body: Eighth Rank (1/10).

……

In the blink of an eye, the phantom of an Asura with three heads and six arms appeared behind Li Wei.

The three heads looked more and more like Li Wei, and still had three different expressions.

On the left is a compassionate figure, in the middle is expressionless, and on the right is a fierce and wrathful one.

The six arms of the Dharmakaya are also more detailed.

With his left arm, he holds the "Golden Dragon Soaring to the Heavens"; with his right arm, he holds the "Crimson Dragon Slaying Iron".

His second left arm was gripping a corner of the [Crimson Shadow] cloak, which was currently being worn on his back and fluttering into the distance like a red ribbon across the sky.

His right second arm was casually slung across his hip, exuding an air of arrogance. His physical body was clad in the [Undying Armor].

The three arms on the left hold the [Fire Ouroboros], while the three arms on the right hold the [Secret Fire Orb].

Around the Dharma body, there is a four-story wizard tower that revolves around him; this is the [Dharma Ring Holy Tower]!

"Is this a cosplay of Nezha, the Third Prince? Or is it an imitation of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King? Or some kind of father-son mix?"

The four divine weapons, two five-ring attack artifacts, and the "Dharma Ring Holy Tower"—his most powerful "magic treasures"—all appeared on his Dharma body.

"As expected of a product of spiritual and physical fusion cultivation... You can use treasures from both knights and wizards. Today, I will test your power."

Li Wei flashed out and arrived high in the sky.

He released Phoenix, Mind Flayer, and other henchmen.

"Come and try out my moves with me," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Again?"

Phoenix was trembling with anger, and as a fire elemental, his body was chilling!

Forced by circumstances, it was compelled to attack Livy.

Flames swept towards Li Wei, and his other men rushed forward as well!

Li Wei remained motionless, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his arms crossed.

In an instant, the Asura Dharma Body, wielding four divine weapons and two sorcerous artifacts, surrounded by a sacred tower, appeared behind him.

At this moment, the Dharma body is as tall as a twenty-story building, and its shape is closer to the aesthetics of Eastern Buddhist and Taoist culture, both strange and solemn.

If this were to appear in a previous life, it would definitely be regarded as a heavenly soldier or a Vajra protector!

boom!

The Dharma Body made its move. It took a step, and although it was standing on empty air, the ground below seemed to tremble. It was as if this Dharma Body had the ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The Golden Dragon Sky-Defying Shield shone brightly in his hands, suddenly growing larger and larger!

It eventually transformed into a giant golden shield with a diameter of 100 meters!

boom!

The Dharmakaya protected Li Wei with its body, and the giant shield protected the Dharmakaya!

Phoenix's raging flames were all blocked by the giant shield!

Suddenly, the left side of the head of the Dharma body turned around, and the compassionate smile seemed to Phoenix as a mockery.

Then, the Dharma Body leaped up, and the scarlet cloak spread out behind it, eventually reaching a length of a hundred feet!

Snapped!

With a flick of his wrist, the cloak was torn off his body, transforming into a chaotic red ribbon that flew away!

As if a scarlet iron curtain had enveloped the world, Phoenix was instantly bound and unable to move.

He effortlessly dealt with Phoenix, and the Vajra head on the right side of his Dharma Body glared at the succubus and Blood Lady who were attacking from behind!

Then, the Crimson Dragon Iron-Slaying Body was lifted up and transformed into a giant sword forty meters long!

boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, it sounded like a volcanic eruption!

Crimson flames shot into the sky, and sword energy shot out from them! They swept past the heads of the Blood Lady and the Succubus.

The mere aftershock of the sword energy was enough to shock the two level-four beings on the spot, sending them flying. If it had hit them directly, they would have been dead without a doubt!

"Psychic shock!"

The Mind Flayer unleashes its signature mind-attack spell!

boom!

The spiritual energy surged towards the Dharma body!

Boom!

The Holy Tower of the Ring of Law suddenly appeared!

Accompanied by the resounding sound of a great bell, the Mind Flayer was blasted away by the sound!

Then, the Holy Tower of the Ring of Laws rotated rapidly.

hold head high!

Accompanied by the roars of dragons!

Five divine dragons of different colors flew out from it and danced around the Dharma body!

How shocking this scene was!

Li Wei, on the other hand, sat quietly in the protective circle of the Dharma Body, watching the Dharma Body show off.

"They're still too weak. I always feel that with my current strength, I could fight against Lady Ghost even without the magic array. It's a pity I don't have any test subjects," Li Wei sighed inwardly.

He really wanted to find an evenly matched opponent to fight.

Unfortunately, he was invincible below the Fifth Ring Road, but above it, he was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"receive!"

Li Wei stood up and took away his Dharma body.

"After the eighth rank, the Dharma Body is no longer just a simple physical attack. The Dharma Body is an enhanced version of me. It can use the four divine weapons and two witch artifacts at the same time. The divine weapons in the hands of the Dharma Body are like magic treasures, changing freely and full of power."

The Dharma Body can even use the Holy Tower of the Magic Ring as a weapon, and can also unleash innate spells, with power even greater than when I cast them myself.

The Dharma Body is essentially a combination of spiritual power and blood energy. With Li Wei's will infused into it, the ability to use innate spells is, in Li Wei's view, inevitable.

In his view, if he wants to integrate the ways of wizards and knights and achieve his own path in the future, the Bloodline Avatar is the opportunity for a breakthrough!

"If I were to release my Dharma body, I would have the strength of an ordinary fifth-ring cultivator. Such a majestic Dharma body needs a more imposing name."

How about we call it... Six Paths of Heavenly Gods? Once we've collected all six divine weapons of the Knight's Way, we can each have one – perfect!

Li Wei was extremely satisfied; the power of his Dharma Body after its advancement completely exceeded his expectations.

"Gagaga".

Raja's voice came from afar. The Thunder Wyvern soared merrily in the high sky, accompanied by a black wyvern, the Shadow Wyvern, Nightfang.

After a year of spending time together, Raja and Nighttooth's relationship has finally taken a step further.

However, Night Fang still had some resistance towards Raja.

Through Li Wei's experiments, the secret medicine made from the essence of the Shadow Wyvern bloodline can be used as a superior alternative to the secret medicine of the vampires.

The Crimson Dragon's cultivation speed is much faster than before.

At this rate, before entering the Dark Ancient Tower, the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique can reach level fifteen, allowing one to step into the Blood Source Third Transformation realm.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have prepared the corresponding advanced magic potions.

The requirements for the Crimson Dragon's advanced potion are not high; all that is needed is a level four vampire and some auxiliary materials.

This can be found in the human world. Now, with the turmoil intensifying, the vampires, after lying low for a period of time, have made a comeback.

Li Wei had no psychological burden regarding killing vampires.

Li Wei stared at the panel and muttered to himself:

"Within the Crimson Contract slots, the vampire Klein can be discarded at any time. When a suitable candidate is found, he can be replaced. If that doesn't work, we can just contract the weak Phoenix to prevent that guy from having any ulterior motives all day long."

As for the succubus and mind flayer, Li Wei thought they could keep them for the time being. After all, both of these demons had the potential to advance to level five or even become demon lords. They might come in handy if they encountered a situation like an invasion of the abyss in the future.

After emerging from seclusion, Li Wei conducted a routine inspection of the three major departments. Finding everything to be alright, he resumed his seclusion.

For the next seven years, he went nowhere except to help the Knight of Flowers enter the Nightmare World.

Right here in the human world, cultivate yourself diligently.

……

The endless sea.

Inner Ring Sea Area, Fifth District.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

On a deserted island, there is a hidden paradise.

A purple-robed wizard sat cross-legged, meditating and practicing, with a book placed in front of him.

The Hammer of Augustine.

This is a book about the craftsmanship and heritage of the Five Rings.

From a friend of the five-ringed instrument maker in Soret.

Soret believed he had never wronged this friend, and they had even shared a life-or-death bond.

That's why he decided to have him craft a five-ringed magical artifact for him.

But he didn't expect that this friend would still betray him.

He leaked his whereabouts to the dark wizard hunter in exchange for profit.

Fortunately, Soret discovered this in advance and killed his friend on the spot, taking his belongings, including the Five Rings Weapon-Making Inheritance Book.

"There's no one in this world I can trust anymore... Victor betrayed me, Miraa betrayed me, even my best friend betrayed me! The only person I can trust is a snake... How utterly ridiculous!"

Soret laughed maniacally, then his face darkened.

"I, Solette, have cultivated for five hundred years and am already a senior member of the Fifth Ring. I've only walked half the path of my life! Is crafting just a matter of making artifacts? I, Solette, can teach myself that!"

He immediately began reading the book "The Hammer of Augustine," preparing himself to become a weapon maker.

After a long pause, Soret closed the book without making a sound, his eye twitching!

"Why should I, the mighty Thunder Spear, need to fight with a magical weapon? Simply developing my third fifth-ring talent is far superior to using a magical weapon! Historically, many famous wizards didn't need magical weapons in battle!"

Soret discovered that he was really not cut out for making things.

With his level of understanding and knowledge, he could learn this, but it wouldn't be worth it.

Instead of wasting so much time practicing the art of weapon crafting, it would be better to focus on studying the third talent.

This witchcraft artifact is better off discarded!

As for this piece of meteorite iron, we can keep it; there's no need to sell it for money.

This thing is extremely rare.

If it comes in handy in the future, we can continue to refine magical artifacts.

"This Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm was once plagued by demonic calamities, and it is now sparsely populated. There are also no wizarding organizations nearby, making it perfect for me to live in seclusion. Now I can just wait patiently for the ancient tower to open."

……

Sea of ​​Stars.

The Witch's House.

Triss's Cottage.

Triss sat on the sofa, while on the other side, the Knight of Flowers, dressed in a pure white witch's robe, appeared to have just taken a bath, and sat casually.

"Niglio! You old bastard, you shameless bastard!" Triss couldn't help but curse.

"It's alright, it's all over now, Triss." Elena didn't seem to care much.

"The problem is, that key to the ancient tower is very likely the last one... I didn't expect you to come back. The witch has already distributed all the keys to the Dark Tower. I just asked around, and everyone has already pledged their blood to their master," Triss said regretfully.

"It's fine if I don't go. To be honest, even without the Dark Tower, I'm confident I can advance to the rank of Grand Wizard, it'll just be a little later." Elena smiled slightly, revealing immense confidence.

"I love your confidence, and you're openly confident, unlike some people who are incredibly confident inside but always appear humble, low-key, and honest on the surface..." Triss suddenly laughed.

"You mean Levi?" Elena asked.

"Hmm, this little guy, I know him too well. Your personalities are somewhat similar, yet somewhat opposite, it's quite fascinating," Triss said with a meaningful smile.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked, puzzled.

"Nothing much. By the way, is the Wizard Tower ready for your interdimensional travel this time?" Triss changed the subject.

Elena said, "I've prepared some of it. As for the rest, I originally wanted to take a look inside the Dark Tower. Since I can't go to the Dark Tower, I'll slowly prepare for it from here on out. I'm not even four hundred years old yet, I have plenty of time. After I advance to the seventh ring, I can travel to more distant planes, and it will be much more efficient."

Elena has a truly good attitude, something Triss, as an elder, can't help but admire.

At the end of the conversation, Triss asked with a serious expression:

"Are you really planning to enter the Nightmare World? I think that kid Levi said he has a way, and there's a high chance he can actually bring you in, but that would probably be dangerous... Our wizarding world knows very little about the Nightmare World. In some ways, the Nightmare World might be even more terrifying than the Astral Plane or the Abyss."

Elena nodded and said, "I've been researching the Nightmare World for a long time, and I've always wanted to explore it. I'm just going in to deal with a Nightmare Lord, so there shouldn't be any problems. As for Levi, don't worry, I'll protect him."

Triss smiled but didn't say anything.

……

Time flies, and another year has passed.

In the blink of an eye, the Primordial Moon of the year 1159 of the Holy Radiance Calendar has arrived.

That year, the Blood Knight temporarily returned to the Twilight Temple from the Forsaken Lands.

A great upheaval is occurring in the land abandoned by God.

Fearing he would be drawn into the vortex, the old knight, who had mastered the essence of Li Wei's philosophy, immediately withdrew.

The Blood Knights gained a great deal from this journey to the Forsaken Lands.

The fourth-level elemental metal Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Iron, as well as a large amount of information about the Forsaken Lands.

According to the Blood Knight, there may be thousands of dungeons of varying sizes in the Forsaken Lands.

The vast majority of them are caves of level three or below.

However, there are also twelve Yuanhun-level underground forces.

The most powerful one is the [Black Dragon Mountain Cave].

Lord of the Caverns, [Black Dragon Wizard Nidel], is a powerful eight-ringed dragonborn wizard who cultivates both physical and magical arts.

The combination of his dragon lineage, physical prowess, and magical abilities makes him an absolute powerhouse even in today's wizarding world!

Before the mortal barrier was shattered, this dragonborn wizard attempted to unify the entire Forsaken Lands.

However, due to the obstruction of two other eighth-ring wizards, they ultimately failed.

Now, one of these two eighth-ring wizards died of old age ten years ago in the land of the forsaken gods.

The Black Dragon Wizard seized the opportunity and devised a plan to kill another eighth-ring wizard.

With everything in place, the Black Dragon Mountain Cave began conquering other caves, launching a war that swept across the entire God-Forsaken Continent.

The Black Dragon Wizard seeks to unify all forces in the Forsaken Lands and establish a unified "Black Dragon Empire"!

Then, they faced a challenge from wizards of the New World and launched an invasion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Sensing the impending storm, the Blood Knight quickly left.

The knights of the Twilight Knights knew that the establishment of the Black Dragon Empire would mark the beginning of a true upheaval in the human world.

At that time, unless the Wizarding World sends a top-tier wizarding organization to suppress the Black Dragon Empire.

Otherwise, all other forces in the human world would crumble and cease to exist in the face of the Black Dragon Empire.

While the Forsaken Lands are in turmoil, the situation on the Seven Kingdoms Continent is no better.

Judging from the intelligence agencies that the Temple has established in the seven continents.

Over the years, the Blue Frost Empire and the Benevolent Father Empire have never ceased their incursions into the Peacock Kingdom and the Molten Fire Kingdom.

Li Wei has already told Skine, who is stationed in Flower City, that if they can keep Flower City, they should keep it; if they can't, they should give it up and sell the territory.

The world is too chaotic now, this territory is no longer of any use to Li Wei, keeping it will only cause trouble.

Li Wei only needs to protect the Ancient Saint Plane.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed to attend to their own business.

The Middle-earth team is progressing smoothly, with new achievements every year.

The Talent Imprint Research Group is working on overcoming the hurdle of Level 1 Imprints; advancing from Level 0 to Level 1 would be a major breakthrough. After the Blood Knight returned, he joined the group and began researching Endurance-type Talent Imprints, following their example.

The members of the Combat Techniques Research Committee studied Li Wei's "Shattering Sword Qi" all night long, hoping to gain inspiration from it and create more and more powerful combat techniques!

The Giant Beast Park is thriving, with more and more extraordinary creatures hatching.

Even the relationship between Raja and Yoru has progressed further. At least, Yoru is no longer so averse to Raja.

On the Ancient Dragon Empire side, another Level 4 Ancient Saint has been born.

The number of members in the Council of Elders has increased to 24! Including the Three Kings, there are now 27 Level 4 beings in the entire Ancient Dragon Empire!

The more tense and uneasy the outside world is, the more peaceful and prosperous the ancient sage plane seems.

Li Wei was very glad he made that choice.

When everyone was pessimistic about the human world, he was the first to return to it. In the early stages of the resurgence of the demonic tide, he took over this ancient holy plane and then used his knowledge of magic arrays to arm and protect it step by step.

Today, the resurgence of evil is unstoppable, with more and more monsters and demons taking to the stage, leading to continuous battles and endless conflicts!

Only Li Wei has a plane to himself, watching the clouds roll and unroll, observing the world's affairs from the perspective of someone watching a fire from across the river.

This is exactly the stable life he sought.

In the blink of an eye, the year 1159 of the Holy Radiance Calendar is drawing to a close, marking the end of the Winter Month.

On this day, the Nightmare Dragon Seed within Li Wei's body suddenly began to expand, and black mist churned. When the mist disappeared...

A colossal black dragon, roaring to the sky, spreads its tattered wings, exuding an imposing aura.

Nightmare Dragon, level fourteen.
