Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 297 Dharma Body [Phoenix Perching on a Thousand Trees], Advancement! Crimson Divine Palace! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe)

Hades City.

Inside the Tower of Livy, the Wizard.

"Are you ready? If you are, let's get going." Elena's voice came from behind.

After closing the wizard tower's door and the magic circle, Li Wei said apologetically:

"Alright, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sir."

He had originally planned to capture the narwhal in a few days before returning, but since Elena suddenly wanted to visit the Twilight Temple, he simply changed his plans and set off ahead of schedule.

"I don't have time to find a wife for Leviathan again. Maybe next time... next time for sure!" Levi secretly vowed to himself.

Narwhals are not migratory marine animals; their territories are relatively fixed, so they generally can't escape. In the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm, there are very few wizards, so they shouldn't be captured.

Overall, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Elena wore a simple leather armor today, thin and form-fitting, which showed off her perfect figure. Her long legs were covered with silver boots, giving her a Wonder Woman vibe.

She carried her greatsword on her back and walked ahead. This was no ordinary greatsword, but a magical weapon forged from level six water elemental metal, which could also be used as a knight's sword.

A sea of ​​stars, a portal to the human world.

After Li Wei paid the teleportation fee for the two of them, they returned to the human world.

On a small island in the outer sea, Elena breathed in the air of the human world and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back. The elemental power of the human world has indeed recovered quite a bit. The end of the Dharma era is about to pass. For those with talent, this is the best of times... but for most ordinary people, this is the worst of times."

"Neither good nor bad can an individual fight against; the only way to survive is to constantly adapt to it all," Li Wei said.

That makes sense.

The two chatted as they hurried toward the Ancient Saint Plane.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance.

Before even setting foot on the island, Elena suddenly asked, "Who set up the magic circle on the island?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "It's me."

With Elena returning to the temple, her knowledge of magic arrays will surely come out. After taking the oath and joining the Knights, they're family now, so there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Various talents... Not bad, very good. Although I don't understand magic arrays, this array is very ingenious. It consists of seven nested fourth-ring magic arrays that are interconnected and form a chain reaction. Even if a fifth-ring wizard came, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. In the human world today, it can be described as impregnable." As a Yuanhun Wizard, Elena may not study magic arrays, but her eyes are sharp, and she can see the extraordinary nature of this magic array at a glance.

"That's about right. No wonder you're a Soul Wizard," Li Wei said.

"Boss, you're here."

Ur, the vampire, the coral witch, and others who were guarding the gate all stood up.

Suddenly, the Coral Witch's expression changed, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Because the person following the boss was none other than a big shot from the Endless Sea whom she had seen in the newspaper!

Elena, the Flower Witch!

Elena is actually with the boss. So this is the power behind the boss?

"I knew it. How could an ordinary fourth-ring wizard be a match for me? If he is a junior of the Flower Witch, then it makes sense. I lost fair and square." The Coral Witch comforted herself.

Li Wei said, "You all go about your business. I'll show a friend around the organization."

The Coral Witch lowered her head, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, and quickly left the place.

Although she was a dark wizard on the list of the most dangerous people, she was still a nobody in front of Elena.

Elena didn't recognize her at all, assuming she was just a guardian of the magic circle that Li Wei had hired, and didn't pay her any attention.

After passing through the magic circle and entering the ancient saint plane.

Elena looked at the Four-Ring Magic Array - Four Directions Flame Realm with interest and said with a smile, "You're really quite prudent, installing magic arrays at both ends."

Li Wei chuckled but didn't say anything.

Immediately afterwards, Elena saw the four ancient lizardmen sitting cross-legged in the magic circle. They were trembling and unable to remain calm in the face of the pressure of the primordial spirit.

Elena suppressed all her elemental aura, and only then did these guys calm down a bit.

"A lizardman roughly equivalent to level four? How do you have such a thing?" Elena asked.

"These are the natives of this small plane. I took them in to guard the entrance. I have about twenty more lizardmen like them, but unfortunately, they are not able to advance to level five," Li Wei said.

Elena said, "Interesting. This small plane is not simple. It allows ordinary lizardmen to break through the shackles of life and evolve to the fourth level. I suspect that this must be the back garden of some powerful person. These lizardmen may be experimental subjects left behind by him."

The reason it's difficult to advance to level five is likely because this minor plane was created relatively late and is at a very low level. Generally speaking, it's rare for a minor plane to produce a level five entity. As for level six, it's even more impossible. Planes that produce level six are usually medium-sized or larger, while planes that produce level ten or higher are considered large planes. Above large planes, there are super-large planes, such as the Abyss…

The level of a plane determines the upper limit of the life level of the beings born from it; this phenomenon is called "plane shackles".

There are two paths for a plane to be "upgraded".

First, it evolves on its own over time, albeit over extremely long periods, measured in millions or tens of millions of years. Generally speaking, the more beings that reach the dimensional barrier, the faster the dimensional evolution will be.

The fastest way for a plane to evolve is... plane fusion, which is the [Nora Grand Plane Celestial Sphere Convergence Event] that we are about to experience.

In the future, when these planes intersect, this small plane will inevitably be devoured by Nora and become part of Nora. At that time, you lizardmen will have "Nora citizenship" from the beginning, and there will be no more constraints. Breaking through to level five shouldn't be difficult. As for going higher, given the lizardmen's potential, it might not be something that "plane ascension" can solve.

Li Wei sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much for your guidance, instruction, and guidance. I am deeply grateful!"

This level of knowledge was far beyond his reach; to him, it was priceless!

Elena looked around and laughed, "But speaking of which, you've really hidden yourself well. If it weren't for the fact that I joined the Twilight Knights, I wouldn't have been able to imagine that you, a mere fourth-circle wizard, could possess an entire plane on your own, even if it's a minor one. That's quite remarkable."

Li Wei said, "Please keep the matter of this plane a secret, Lady Elena. This place will be the cradle of our knights' rise and our base camp for dealing with the future upheavals of the demonic tide."

Elena nodded and said:

"Of course, I've sworn an oath to the truth, and I understand your good intentions. Logically speaking, a small plane so close to Nora should be easy for me to discover during my interdimensional travels. Could it be that this plane was deliberately hidden by some powerful being? This does resemble a plane I visited recently... Wait, could this also be Sauron's doing?"

Elena's expression suddenly changed slightly. She looked at Levi and asked, "What's your relationship with Soren?"

"My lord, you're overthinking it. I have nothing to do with Sauron. I just got lucky to discover this testing ground left by Sauron. By the way, where is the other place that Lady Elena mentioned?" Levi keenly noticed that Elena seemed to have been to a plane that Sauron had also hidden.

Elena thought for a moment and said, "The place I went to should be a medium-to-high-sized plane, with the potential to develop into a large plane in the future. I can tell you about this place, but you also need to keep it a secret. Sauron must have his reasons for hiding these planes. We cannot break this peace. After all, the Wizard Council is now in a mess and is no longer the council that Sauron left behind."

"I understand, we are a family, and a family doesn't lie to another family, let alone do anything to harm its members!" Li Wei repeatedly emphasized that the Twilight Knights were a big family.

Elena nodded and said, "The plane I went to, I call it the Panda Plane. It's an ancient plane, completely different from our wizarding world. Sauron also went there..."

They chatted as they walked.

Through Elena's words, Li Wei learned about another wonderful world.

"Qi Sect, Four Symbols, Bear Man, Dao Follows Nature, Unity of Heaven and Man... Primordial Holy Emperor."

He murmured these keywords from the Panda dimension to himself.

He had heard of the Primordial Saint Emperor from Möbius of the Round Table.

One of Sauron's eighteen companions.

In Elena's description, the Air School is a magical path to transcendence. Its founder was infinitely close to the realm of a legendary wizard, but ultimately failed to take the final step.

Elena suddenly drew her greatsword from her back, and pulled out a gourd of wine from somewhere.

"This is the spirit wine I brewed; it can be used to comprehend [Qi]."

Elena took a sip, and then behind her, a faint, overwhelming phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared.

"The Qi Sect inheritance I obtained is the Qi Sect of Strong Liquor, which is similar to the fire in the wizard's earth, fire, wind and water, but it is different. The Qi Sect inheritance is not limited to elemental affinity talent. They only have one requirement for the cultivator, which is... heart."

I know this sounds unrealistic and mystifying, but it is true. A person's "heart" can be innate or acquired through an experience or a sudden realization.

In theory, anyone in this world with the will to practice the Qi cultivation method, regardless of race, can do so.

For example, those bear-like creatures that we find endearing and silly may not be intelligent, but they can return to their true nature and follow the way of nature.

To be a master of strong liquor, you need a heart as fiery and sincere as liquor itself.

I'll show you a unique skill from the Qi Sect called "Fire Phoenix Spreads Across the Plains," whose power is second only to the sect's ultimate skill, "Vermilion Bird Scorches the Sky."

Ultimate skills are similar to innate spells; they don't have levels. Their power increases with your cultivation level and through daily practice!

Immediately afterwards, Elena stood in the void and slashed out with her sword.

In an instant, an attack with an energy fluctuation comparable to a fourth-ring talent spell was unleashed in Li Wei's eyes.

That was a sword aura composed of a wildfire phoenix. It seemed to have come to life, and it swept away the clouds in front of it!

"This is the power of the Qi Sect. I have only cultivated to the mid-stage of the [Innate Qi Absorption] realm, which is comparable to a fourth-ring wizard. Above that, there is the [Shattering the Void] realm. At that time, like the Yuanhun Wizard, the Qi Sect's combat power can shatter the void of many planes and use spatial abilities to travel between planes. Have you sensed your own [heart]?" Elena asked curiously.

Li Wei looked helpless, shook his head, and said, "It seems I have no heart..."

Elena said:

"If you want to learn Qi cultivation in the future, I can teach you a little when I'm not busy. You just need to exchange your knight knowledge with me."

"Alright, but wizards and knights alone have already exhausted all my energy. I'm only a fourth-circle wizard with a limited lifespan, so I probably don't have the time to research new paths to transcendence like you do," Li Wei said.

"That's true. Your top priority should be breaking through to the Yuanhun realm. I, as a member of the group, have already reached the Yuanhun realm. How can you, as the group leader, be weaker than me?" Elena joked.

They chatted and laughed.

Li Wei brought Elena to the Twilight Temple.

On the training grounds below the temple, a group of muscular knights with well-developed limbs were honing their combat skills and sparring with each other.

Upon seeing the black-armored knights in the sky, the knights all stopped what they were doing and stood up straight.

"Who's that person next to the commander? He seems familiar."

"It's a bit like... The Knight of Flowers."

"The Knight of Flowers? Wasn't she a figure from hundreds of years ago?"

"Are you stupid? Someone like the Knight of Flowers, who could become a Blood Awakening Knight in the Dharma-ending Age hundreds of years ago, how could he not have some wizarding talent? He must have become a wizard."

"That's true."

Soon, the official members, including Shenguang, Jinshi, Yinlong, Anyue, and Qianhuan, also arrived.

"Captain, you've arrived. This... could it be Senior Baihua?" Dinos was startled. Although he was in a remote area of ​​the outer sea, the Yuanhun Wizards were famous throughout the Endless Sea, especially a prodigy like Baihua, who was a popular figure in the newspapers. So he naturally knew her.

"That's right, it's the Knight of Flowers," Li Wei said with a hint of pride.

Immediately afterwards, a series of gasps of astonishment were heard.

"It really is the Knight of Flowers! I drink the Hundred Flowers Wine at the Shining Tavern every day, and I've finally met him in person."

"She's so beautiful, even more beautiful than in the portrait, I almost didn't recognize her!"

"What kind of man is worthy of a powerhouse like the Knight of Flowers?"

Li Wei coughed lightly and said seriously, "Today, the Knight of a Hundred Flowers has joined our knightly order. Everyone, welcome! Our big family has gained another member!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Welcome, Knight of Flowers!"

The muscular men below shouted, their voices deafening.

The Knight of Flowers, who spent all her time in the witch organization, hadn't seen such a scene in a long time. With a smile, she said, "Everyone, go about your business."

After they dispersed, Li Wei led the official members to his Supreme Dao Hall.

"Yakuza Knights... Captain, you have quite the ambition," Elena said.

"You're joking, it's just a nicer way of putting it."

He closed the door and said, "These are the most outstanding members of our temple since its founding."

Even Andrew has broken through to the Blood Awakening Knight realm, with the title "Steel Dragon Knight," and has now begun researching the Level 1 Shield Mark.

Next, Li Wei, along with the Knights of Flowers, convened an impromptu roundtable meeting of the Twilight Knights.

Ash, the Holy Ape, the Goddess, and the Black Knight, who were far away in Middle-earth, also participated in the meeting.

A total of thirteen official members gathered together.

The Middle-earth team was utterly shocked to learn that the new member their leader had recruited was a Soul Wizard comparable to a level six knight.

For them, level six was too far away, so the fact that the guild leader could bring in a level six expert was truly unfathomable! It's just a mystery what the guild leader used to impress this top-tier expert.

Next, Levi took Elena on a tour of the Beast Park. After seeing the extraordinary creatures that Levi was cultivating specifically for knight's secret medicine, Elena began to re-evaluate this seemingly "muscular" black-armored knight.

At this moment, Elena felt even more convinced of the "weak" and "cautious" leader.

"Sustainable development is a very simple principle, but even a wizarding civilization like ours cannot achieve it because the greed of the human heart is endless. No one will sacrifice their immediate gains for long-term benefits that are not yet visible in the future," Elena said.

"That's right. So, this is only easily achieved in a highly centralized, strictly controlled small society," Li Wei said.

Elena nodded:

"That makes sense. Many laws in the wizarding world are poorly enforced and are practically useless."

Afterwards, they visited the Ancient Dragon Empire, and Elena was even more amazed after seeing the psionic academy and ancient holy dojo that Levi had built for the lizardmen.

Meanwhile, at the Twilight Temple, construction began on Elena's exclusive Palace of a Hundred Flowers, right next to the leader's Palace of Extreme Paths, as a sign of respect for the strong!

Elena, being in a high position, could not possibly stay here for an extended period like the other knights.

The next day.

Before parting, Elena exchanged a lot of knightly knowledge from the Temple of Knowledge, such as bloodline runes, talent imprints, and bloodline avatars.

In exchange, the temple acquired a great deal of knowledge about the Ocean School of Wizardry, as well as some dimensional knowledge Elena gained from her travels.

"No need to see me off, knights. We'll meet again at the Round Table Conference from now on," Elena said with a nonchalant smile, then turned and left.

In just one day, Elena, who hadn't had high expectations, found herself quite rewarded in this place. For some reason, she truly felt like she was "coming home," perhaps because the knights were so enthusiastic, or perhaps because this place stirred up memories of her life in the mortal realm.

"Goodbye, come home often," the Divine Light Knight said excitedly. The Flower Knight was her idol!

Although the Thousand Phantom Knight had never heard of the Flower Knight, he was captivated by her charm and admitted that he was no match for her.

The other male knights, needless to say, were all distracted, except for the bookworm Andrew, who was lost in thought, pondering his own talent mark.

Watching Elena leave the Ancient Saint Plane, Li Wei felt a pang of emotion. As he turned to leave, he heard Elena's voice in his mind.

"From now on, within the temple, just call me the Knight of Flowers. It's time to reclaim that title. In the way of chivalry, you are my teacher; there's no need to call me 'Sir' or 'Senior' or anything like that, it makes me sound old!"

Li Wei was taken aback, then thought to himself, "Okay."

It seems that in the wizarding world, spirit witches don't really like being called seniors, and Ms. Triss is no exception.

"Don't be sad anymore, go back and get on with your own business. Everyone's gone," Li Wei said with a smile, before returning to the Imperial Palace.

……

Time flies.

Several more months have passed.

During this time, Li Wei went to the Frozen Realm, purchased a lot of Frozen School spell knowledge, and spent nearly 200 million Tai Shi. Now, he only has a little over 200 million left in his reserves!

If it weren't for the fact that he was about to enter the Dark Tower, this amount of money would have already fallen below his safety threshold.

It is worth mentioning that the rebels who controlled the Winter Tower within the Frozen Realm withdrew their troops very suddenly last month, and all of them, including their leader who was at the eighth-ring level, disappeared.

The council then reassigned an eighth-ring level Ice Wizard from the Central Realm to oversee the Ice Realm.

Li Wei speculated that this might be related to the sensational return of Legends some time ago.

After learning that the Frost Witch had returned to the wizarding world, those dark wizards probably wouldn't dare to stay here any longer.

Or rather, in the power struggle among the bigwigs, the backers of the dark wizards backed down and obediently withdrew before the conflict escalated further.

Regardless, peace was restored to the Frozen Realm.

The year 1162 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Primordial Moon.

At the 61st Round Table Meeting of the Knights of Twilight, Li Wei met the Knight of Flowers again.

Aside from her research on the Nightmare World and the Spider-Man, she hasn't had any urgent matters lately, so she has time to attend the meeting.

Of course, the deeper reason is that after visiting the Twilight Temple in person, the Knight of Flowers, although a Soul Wizard, began to genuinely acknowledge this insignificant knightly organization.

She was very curious about how far the Twilight Temple could go under Li Wei's leadership.

This inevitably reminded her of the glorious days when Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, led the ancient wizards through hardships, rebelled against the gods, and established the Wizarding Council.

The thirteen official members passionately discussed and envisioned the future of the temple. With the addition of a big shot like the Knight of Flowers, Li Wei clearly felt that everyone was more hopeful and motivated.

In the past six months, the Knight of Flowers has actually cultivated the Bloodline Dharma Body to the third level and created his own Dharma Body.

It can only be said that her realm is too high, with a commanding perspective, completely different from Li Wei's initial exploration at a low realm.

To Li Wei's surprise, the bloodline avatar of the Knight of Flowers was a creature similar to the fire phoenix of his previous life. It dwelled on a giant tree that resembled the World Tree, which was covered in flowers. This giant tree was very similar to the Witch's Appearance of the Hundred Flowers - Thousand Trees of Flowers.

The phoenix-like creature resembled the Vermilion Bird, a mythical beast from the Qi Sect's lineage.

The cultivation of Qi lies in the mind. And the physical form of the bloodline Dharma body is also related to the mind of the practitioner; it seems that the two have something in common.

At Li Wei's suggestion, the Hundred Flowers Knight gave his bloodline avatar a nice name.

"The phoenix perches on a thousand trees!"

This not only aligns with the characteristics of her Dharma body but also resonates with her shamanistic practices.

Besides Baihua, many of the official members have also developed their own bloodline avatars.

The Black Knight's bloodline avatar is a giant "minotaur". He mastered the avatar even earlier than Li Wei, but due to his wizarding talent, Li Wei surpassed him. His avatar is named "Black Sky Minotaur".

The Golden Lion Knight's bloodline form is a majestic lion with a mane as sharp as a golden sword, named the Golden Sword Lion.

The Holy Ape Knight's bloodline form is an earth-yellow demonic ape that grows stronger with each battle, wielding a giant club, and is known as the "Indestructible Vajra."

The Goddess Knight is a beautiful giant bird that exudes coldness and is surrounded by seven-colored aurora, also known as the [Radiant Cold Bird].

It is clear that, apart from Li Wei and the Knight of Flowers, the mental states of the others are basically consistent with their ancestral breathing techniques.

Livy and the Knight of Flowers, perhaps because of their broader perspectives, especially the influence of Livy's two lifetimes, did not rely entirely on breathing techniques to achieve their spiritual connection.

After the meeting, Li Wei went to a secret room in the imperial palace.

Some time ago, he had already made a small batch of "purification potion".

Although he has mastered the alternative medicinal material for [cherry tomato], it is a relatively rare level 5 herb called [Crimson Fruit].

This stuff is produced in small quantities and is hard to buy even if you have the money; the purification solution is difficult to mass-produce.

Therefore, it can only purify some small items. It is somewhat difficult to purify the [Golden Alien Insect], but purifying the [Spores] is no problem at all.

After a month of purification, Li Wei basically confirmed that the spores had no marks and could be used normally.

Based on the book "The Art of Fungi", he has prepared all the necessary culture medium, nutrient solution, various magic arrays and basic equipment for spore development.

He took a small portion of the spores; they were so tiny that they could be seen with the naked eye.

"Let me witness the art of fungi, don't disappoint me."

Li Wei planted the spores in the culture base, closed the gate, and left the Ancient Saint Plane.

The Seven Kings Hell Formation.

"Take care, boss!"

The Blood Demon watched his leader leave. Ever since he had witnessed the powerful Yuanhun witch, he had found hope for the future.

The thought that this was a force with a Yuanhun Wizard in charge made him feel that being a security guard here was a very honorable thing!

……

The land of the open sea.

The Witch's House, Human Branch.

"Li Wei, what do you think? Isn't Lady Elena beautiful?" the Rose Witch asked with a smile.

Li Wei laughed:

"Of course it's beautiful, but Senior Rose, please don't joke around. I'm here today to inquire about information about the vampires."

The Rose Witch smiled gently, then said seriously:

"That Level 4 vampire was once the strongest member of the Demon Banquet Alliance. To avoid being hunted down, he is hiding in the Peacock Kingdom. If you want to hunt him down, you can go to the Black Forest, a no-man's-land in the kingdom. There, there is a city called Black Wolf City, built by dark creatures, which engages in some illegal blood and flesh trade. The city lord is a Level 5 werewolf, who is said to have the bloodline of the Calamity Wolf. Even the church turns a blind eye to it. You'd better not provoke it."

"Understood, thank you, Senior Rose. Has the branch encountered any trouble recently?" Li Wei asked.

"No, Lady Elena has returned, and many of our enemies who were watching us have withdrawn their eyes."

Li Wei immediately left the outer seas; he hadn't been to the Seven Kingdoms continent for a long time. He only knew that here, with all sorts of strange and powerful figures appearing on the scene, more and more forces were carving up the lands of the original Seven Kingdoms, and the Church was completely overwhelmed.

Among them, the two largest are the Benevolent Father Empire and the Frost Empire.

His destination, the Black Forest, was a no-man's-land before the resurgence of the demonic tide. At that time, there were frequent rumors of evil spirits or powerful ferocious beasts roaming there.

Now that the demonic tide has revived, turning this place into a forbidden zone is something Li Wei had anticipated.

"That old werewolf in the Black Forest possesses the blood of the Calamity Demon Wolf, and its strength is estimated to be at the level of a fifth-ring veteran, or even a fifth-ring perfect. We must be careful when infiltrating the Black Forest this time."

The Calamity Wolf is a powerful ruler of multiple planes and the god of all werewolves. It is said that it once bit and devoured an astral god.

This old werewolf is clearly the human representative of this being, a figure similar to a saint in the church.

Not long after.

Li Wei then arrived at the Black Forest.

He disguised himself as a bald black wizard, wielding a black staff, just like Voldemort.

In this land where werewolves, vampires, and dark wizards coexist, his original "glorious and righteous" appearance was easily misunderstood.

He used the Hermit Rune to lower his aura to around level three, so that he wouldn't be bothered by small fry and would avoid being noticed by the old werewolf. With his current mental strength of 341 points, unless the old werewolf deliberately used his mental strength to carefully explore the city, no one would be able to detect anything amiss.

……

Black Wolf City.

A colossal black city hidden in the dark forest.

This is a city of darkness and chaos, where evil villains from fairy tales hide in seclusion, banding together for warmth.

Outside the city gate, corpses lay strewn along the roadside as an evil black wizard slowly approached.

"What exactly is the Church of Holy Light protecting?" Li Wei looked at the human corpses scattered all over the ground, speechless.

At the city gate, a level three werewolf guard was sniffing out the scent of passing travelers.

"Halt? Who are you? What brings you here?" the werewolf called out to the bald, black-haired wizard in front of him.

"Hehehe, I am the Black Mountain Wizard, here to trade in the city. Isn't this the market?" the bald wizard sneered, his arrogance extremely overbearing.

"Black Mountain Wizard? Never heard of him. If you want to go in, bring a treasure as an entrance fee to the city lord," the guard said.

"I have a second-ring magical artifact here called the [Mist Soul Bead]. It can attack the soul and spirit. I wonder if this will work? I am a wizard and don't have any other valuables." The bald wizard took out a bead and handed it to the werewolf.

Seeing that the Black Mountain Wizard was sensible enough to put away his magical artifacts, the guards let the bald wizard in. With the city lord in charge, even the church wouldn't dare to act recklessly here, let alone a mere wild wizard.

Upon entering the city, Li Wei's gaze lingered on the various monsters.

Werewolves, vampires, ghouls, vampire birds, dark wizards...

In the center of the city stands a towering ancient castle, hundreds of feet high.

Inside lived the old werewolf named Adlet, whom the city's inhabitants generally referred to as the "Lord of the Demon Wolf Castle".

The Lord of Demon Wolf Castle gathered these individual dark creatures together to form Black Wolf City, which then fought against the Church.

On the street, a werewolf butcher is selling meat, including ferocious beasts, but mostly people.

On the stall, intestines, ribs, calf meat, thigh meat, breast meat, human penis, human heart, kidneys... were separated into extremely detailed categories.

Li Wei remained expressionless. It was truly surreal that such a thing could happen so openly on church grounds.

After spending three days in this city filled with bloodshed and terror.

Li Wei finally managed to find out some clues. Seven days later, the Lord of Demon Wolf Castle invited the city's powerful figures to visit the castle, including a vampire expert.

"It should be that level four vampire."

For seven days in a row, Li Wei wandered around the city, until the seventh day.

Suddenly, streaks of black smoke pierced the sky above Black Wolf City, accompanied by wild laughter.

"Hahaha, Lord of Demon Wolf Castle, I, Duke of Blood Lake, have arrived! Why don't you come and greet me?" A wisp of black smoke appeared in mid-air, transforming into a giant with a pig's head and a human body.

Beside the giant, Count Salin and other powerful figures also appeared.

"A friend has come from hell, welcome, welcome!" An old man's laughter echoed from within Black Wolf Castle.

A hunched, white-haired nobleman appeared atop the castle, leaning on a cane and exuding a powerful aura. Behind him, the faint phantom of a giant black wolf with its upper jaw reaching the sky and its lower jaw supporting the ground, was also visible.

"There are too many people and too many eyes outside the castle. Duke, please come with me to the council hall for a detailed discussion," the old nobleman said with a smile, very elegantly.

While these important figures were conversing, Li Wei was quietly observing from a small tavern run by werewolves.

"The Duke of Blood Lake seems to be the leader of those hellish demons who caused trouble some time ago. How did these two groups end up together?" Levi pondered to himself.

It's safe to say that what they're discussing is definitely not good, but it's none of his business. Exorcising demons is the church's duty.

Suddenly, a crimson light streaked across the sky and entered the castle.

"It's that level four vampire."

Li Wei withdrew his gaze. Things would be easier from here on out. After the vampire finished its meeting, he would follow it, find a secluded place, and take care of it.

Currently, there are two figures in Black Wolf City that he cannot afford to offend: a level 5 werewolf and a duke from hell. In particular, the old werewolf is even more powerful than Soret in Li Wei's eyes!

A thought struck Li Wei, and he returned to his room to release the mind flayer Gilmore.

"Gilmore, infiltrate them as your Mind Flayer and see what they're discussing."

"Understood, Master."

Gilmore is an abyssal demon, a creature of pure darkness, so he should have no problem infiltrating.

Arriving at a neighborhood, Gilmore revealed his true form as a Mind Flayer and brazenly headed towards Wolf's Lair.

"Halt! Do you have an invitation?" A castle guard stopped him.

"Tell your master I am the great Mind Flayer Gilmo, and you, a mere level three wolf, have no right to stop me." Gilmo sneered, and at the same time, his powerful mental energy swept towards the guards.

The guard was so frightened that he stammered and hurriedly went back to report. After a short while, he came out with a smile and said, "Lord Gilmore, please come in."

Inside the castle, in the council chamber.

A giant, long dining table, large enough to seat dozens of people, was set out.

The table was laden with delicacies, culinary masterpieces, human flesh sashimi, raw cured intestines...

The dining table was already filled with dark creatures, all kinds of strange and ugly.

In the very center are the old werewolf and the Duke of Blood Lake.

The old werewolf looked at Gilmore as he entered and said happily, "I never expected that there would be abyssal demons living in my Black Wolf City. Please have a seat."

Abyssal demons are synonymous with chaos, and are the beings that the Church hates and fears the most!

The Mind Flayer, in particular, is skilled at stealing souls. If we can win him over, our plans will go much more smoothly.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord," Gilmore said with a smile, sitting down without ceremony, grabbing a large eyeball from some unknown creature, and starting to eat it.

"Everyone, we are all long-time marginalized members of the Church of Bitter Radiance. We have had enough of being suppressed by the church every day. I believe you all know the purpose of inviting you here today."

Three years from now, I, the City Lord, the Duke of Blood Lake, and the Daughter of Blue Frost will join forces to attack the Holy Light Church's Heavenly Mountain. This time, we will uproot this mountain of the Church and utterly destroy it! Let the land of the Peacock Kingdom become our paradise!

Those willing to join me in attacking the church will receive my rewards and gratitude upon success... As for those unwilling, you already know my plan, and to prevent it from being leaked, Duke Blood Lake and I have no choice but to kill you."

The old werewolf abruptly changed the subject, suddenly revealing his true form, a werewolf ten feet tall. His face was adorned with five pairs of eerie green eyes, and his vajra claws could tear apart any armor and force field! The illusory image of the Calamity Wolf behind him solidified, its gaping maw capable of devouring a world and creating Ragnarok!

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! I, Ferrens, am joining!" a level four vampire elder laughed.

"I'll join too," Gilmore said, raising his hand.

"Good, good. With the vampires and mind flayers joining us, I feel much more at ease." The old werewolf retracted his terrifying true form, reverting to the appearance of a white-haired old man with a kind face, and laughed heartily.

In the end, without exception, all the participants in the banquet agreed!

He even swore an oath before the Wolf God statue brought out by the old werewolf, saying that those who break the oath will be punished and killed by the Wolf God.

After the meeting, the old werewolf and the Duke of Blood Lake explained in detail the plan to attack Paradise Mountain to these dark warriors, while eerie, grotesque laughter echoed from within the castle.

Then came a night of debauchery, during which the Mind Flayer took the opportunity to indulge in lustful desires with a lewd witch.

……

The next day.

Until dawn, all the powerful figures left their seats, and Li Wei looked up at the sky from his residence.

"So they were plotting to attack Heavenly Mountain... Just as I suspected. I didn't expect these guys to join forces. The Holy Radiance Church is probably doomed. The devils, Blue Frost, and the Dark Creatures—each side has a level five expert. The old werewolf and the daughter of Blue Frost are even of divine blood, their strength is extraordinary. Even with the Earth Church joining in, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist... Should I kick them while they're down?"

Li Wei pondered to himself, since the Mind Flayer had already successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks, he could use the Mind Flayer's help from within to observe from the sidelines. Once the two sides were evenly matched, he would storm into Heavenly Mountain, seize the Fan Haixi family's inheritance, and grab some usable treasures along the way. Just then, the Dark Tower would open, allowing him to escape directly there – wouldn't that be perfect?

Suddenly, a flock of blood-red bats flew towards a certain direction within the city. These were all vampires, led by a giant bat, undoubtedly a level four vampire powerhouse.

"Never mind, we'll talk about this later. The Crimson Dragon's advancement is more important." Li Wei's hermit runes flashed, and he quickly disappeared from Black Wolf City.

Before long, he caught up with the group of vampires.

The fourth-level vampire named Ferrens, unaware of his impending doom, wore a smug expression: "First, we'll help the old werewolf destroy the Holy Radiance Church, and while we're at it, release the [Nine-Eyed Blood Lord] sealed within. Then we'll attack the Church of the Stars and the Church of the Dragon God to avenge our past grievances. A perfect plan!"

The next moment, the silver snake runes flickered and vanished in the void, and a bald black wizard cackled as a fire dragon calamity suddenly struck.

boom!

A massive explosion followed!

As Li Wei's mental strength improves, the power of the Fire Dragon Calamity is also increasing day by day.

With a single strike, the level four vampire's defenses were shattered, revealing its true vampire form: a two-headed, blood-red giant.

With a sword aura slicing through the sky, the head of the blood-red giant was severed.

Li Wei stretched out his blue arm, freezing the crimson giant for a moment with the power of frost. Then, he tore apart its flesh and plunged it into its chest... a bright red, still beating heart was pulled out.

"Materials in hand, die, you insect!" Li Wei's sword energy invaded its mind, utterly destroying it.

Only a powerful vampire corpse lay on the ground, which Li Wei picked up.

At the same time, a vampire spirit escaped, but before it could be accepted by the Blood River, it was sucked into the belly of the strange insect Leon, who had been waiting for a long time.

"It tastes awful." Leon pouted, looking aggrieved.

As Li Wei, the hermit, departed, a plume of black smoke rapidly flew in from the sky.

"Hehehe, a body-refining wizard? What a powerful physique! Such a beautiful body is mine."

From within the black smoke, the Blood Lake Duke's pig head emerged, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

With a casual strike, he forced the invisible Li Wei to reveal himself.

If this were in Black Wolf City, he wouldn't have made a move out of respect for the old werewolf.

But this is the wilderness, where the Duke of Blood Lake can do whatever he wants!

The physical body of a fourth-circle body-refining wizard is far superior to that of the giant he currently wields.

Since Lady Ghost's death, the Duke of Blood Lake's deal has been forced to end, and now this bald wizard can be said to be a timely help!

Li Wei remained calm and composed, taking out the Secret Fire Orb and revealing a smile.

The next moment, as magical power surged in, the five-ringed artifact suddenly expanded and stretched across the sky!

"Gathering Yang Transformation!"

boom!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion of the fifth ring spell.

A brilliant red sun rises over the Black Forest!

Duke of Blood Lake did not dare to confront him directly. If it were his hellish body, he would not be afraid, but the problem was that he could not unleash his full power in this human form.

When the explosion subsided, the bald wizard had vanished without a trace, leaving only a echo of laughter reverberating through the heavens and earth.

"The Duke of Blood Lake, is it? I, Soret, will remember you!"

Duke of Bloodlake's eye twitched. Are fourth-circle wizards this powerful these days? You can just run into one with a fifth-circle artifact?

As for the name Soret, it is undoubtedly fake. Who would use their real name to make threats these days?

Duke Salin caught up from behind and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on?"

The Duke of Blood Lake said arrogantly, "It's nothing. I just fought a fifth-circle wizard. He was no match for me and ran away."

"The Duke is mighty!" another Earl of Red Fang hurriedly flattered.

Meanwhile, Li Wei had already used Wind Dragon Swiftness, combined with Crimson Escape and Thunder Dragon Flash, to leave the Black Forest and return to the Ancient Saint Plane, leaving behind a trail of sparks and lightning.

As for Gilmore, Levi left him in Black Wolf City to continue gathering intelligence.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Looking at the life force that he had burned so much of, Li Wei had already added the Duke of Blood Lake to his list of vengeful deeds.

"I was hesitant about going to Heaven Mountain, but now that's the case, there's no point in hesitating anymore. Duke of Blood Lake, just you wait. I may not be able to defeat you in Hell, but on Earth, this is my home turf!"

With his strength, if he were to go all out, the power of the [Six Paths God] could actually rival that of the Blood Lake Duke.

However, they were about to enter the Dark Tower, and Li Wei didn't want to cause any more trouble. Besides, there was an old werewolf in Black Wolf City not far away, and it would be a loss if he were alerted as well.

So he used the five-ringed artifact to force back the Duke of Blood Lake, and then quickly withdrew.

In this way, the opponent would not be able to see his background at all, since he did not use his signature abilities.

The Orb of Secret Fire, a five-ringed magical artifact, is a standard design. Even if a wizard from the Burning Faction came, let alone a Duke of Hell, they wouldn't be able to determine Li Wei's identity based on the artifact.

This is why Li Wei rarely uses the Fire Serpent now; this magical artifact is not a standard design, and if used too often, it will be easily remembered.

After preparing all the necessary potions for advancing the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique, Li Wei began his seclusion.

After the Crimson Dragon advances, he will fulfill his promise and help Leviathan find a wombat.

Then, before entering the Dark Tower, there is only one thing that needs to be completed, and that is the research on the sixth talent.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Flower Month.

All things are reviving, a time for reproduction.

Giant Beast Paradise.

Raja and Nightfang, the two pterosaurs, were very affectionate. Raja would sing and dance in the sky all day long, making those courtship sounds.

Melina said that the two pterosaurs have a chance to get together, but it is unknown whether they can successfully mate and produce offspring.

Meanwhile, other extraordinary creatures in the park, some of whom had entered their mating season, also began creating life.

Twilight Temple.

The Hundred Flowers Hall has been completed and rises from the ground next to the solemn and majestic Supreme Dao Hall.

In the Ancient Dragon Empire, another ancient saint has been born, bringing the number of elders to twenty-eight.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Within Li Wei's body, the magical potions used for "blood refinement" had been completely absorbed by his powerful physique.

The Crimson Dragon Seed has undergone another transformation, its body becoming more streamlined, like a red shuttle, with a pair of strong, powerful, blood-red claws supporting it on the ground.

After the Crimson Emperor's Palace, the Golden Serpent's Palace, and the Sky Palace, a blood-red palace stands within Li Wei's body, inscribed with the words "Crimson"!

The Crimson Dragon stood atop the divine palace, amidst a blood-red world, like a proud and aloof king.

The other three dragons also let out their roars within the palace, seemingly offering their congratulations.

Without any hindrance, the Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique was successfully advanced, reaching the third stage of Blood Source Transformation.
