Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 301 Heaven Descends, Two Great Seals Open, Ancient Tower Activated! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Ancient Sage Plane.

Emperor Square.

The ancient sages of the Senate gazed at the black ancient tower high in the sky.

"A miracle...this is a miracle! It must be the Emperor's power that summoned this divine tower!"

"This is absolutely stunning!"

At this moment, the black ancient tower in the sky could be seen everywhere in the South China Sea, the Western Desert, the Intis Mountains, and all parts of the Ancient Dragon Empire.

Giant Beast Paradise.

Melina looked up at the sky with excitement.

"The Dark Tower has descended; Lord Levi will likely enter it."

Twilight Temple.

The knights who were training couldn't help but stop.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, it's probably the work of a wizard. But the Extreme Knight said that if we see a ten-story ancient tower in the sky in the future, we shouldn't panic, we can just continue training!"

At this moment.

Outside the plane of ancient saints.

The black tower can be seen stretching across the starry sky in the human world, the wizarding world, and even the Sauron panplanet.

……

The Peacock Kingdom.

The sky above the royal city was filled with gusts of wind and dark clouds.

The black ancient tower stands here, and ordinary people on the street look up at the sky, feeling confused, frightened, and curious!

An eerie frost began to fall from the sky.

Inside the shimmering tavern, the wandering knight stretched out his hands, his expression slightly changing, and muttered to himself, "This isn't snow... this is blue frost."

When blue frost descends, calamity is sure to follow!

"The world is about to change."

An old knight who had fought against Blue Frost for many years sighed, his face solemn.

Peacock City.

The king, gazing at the frost and snow outside the palace, said urgently, "Take me to see His Holiness the bishop immediately."

Not long after, the king arrived at the Holy Light Church, which had stood for a thousand years.

The gates remained tightly shut. After a short while, the archbishop's indifferent voice rang out: "It's just some wicked forces trying to cause trouble. You can simply be your king. With the Holy One guarding the capital, what are you worried about?"

"But..." The king hesitated, then sighed and silently withdrew.

Inside the church.

Paradise Mountain Barrier.

At the summit of the towering holy mountain, in the temple, stood two saints, a man and a woman.

Saint Teresa and Saint Jeremiah are respectively the representatives of the Virgin Mary and the Father.

"Did you bring the Drum of the Earth?" Yerin asked.

"Yes, I brought it. Let's take this opportunity to settle things once and for all, and also to deter some of those scoundrels who are secretly watching," Theresa said.

"We've been silent for too long, and these guys have underestimated us." Yelin smiled slightly, confident, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Surrounding Paradise Mountain are saints and paladins who look like heavenly soldiers and generals, forming a square formation to protect Paradise Mountain.

The outskirts of the royal city.

In a valley a hundred miles away, a blood-red wound appeared in the sky.

A bald wizard dressed in a black flame robe appeared here.

"I didn't expect to arrive a little early; the battle hasn't even started yet."

The bald wizard was none other than Li Wei. After setting up the magic circle for watching the show, he sat down on the ground with a leisurely expression.

"The last time I watched a play like this was 130 years ago. At that time, although I was a person of importance in the human world, I was still a junior in front of the church. I only dared to watch the play and did not dare to take action. In the end, it was a bit of a regret."

This time, Li Wei was ready.

He not only wants to watch the show, he also wants to take advantage of the chaos!

"However, a hundred years later, the strength of the saints has generally reached level five, and with the sealing of sacred objects, they are comparable to level five experts, or even perfect ones."

It is said that the First Saint, Gurado, may very well have become a sixth-level divine servant.

It has to be said that this extraordinary path of gaining power through divine intervention allows for a terrifying rate of growth.

Unfortunately, such power comes from the gods, who can take it away at any time.

Even if you become a ninth-level angel, you are nothing more than a puppet by the side of the gods. What is the point of being imprisoned in the divine kingdom?

For most mortals, the path of wizards and the path of knights are the right way.

The path of Qi cultivation might also work, but unfortunately, the concepts of "mind" and "Qi" are too ethereal and abstract.

The Qi Sect's way is closer to the immortal culture of Li Wei's previous life, and its cultivation is quite ethereal and otherworldly.

As Li Wei was pondering, he suddenly sensed three terrifying auras approaching from three directions.

"They're here."

His hermit runes flickered, and his mental strength was now at 360 points.

In theory, unless deliberately investigated, ordinary fifth-ring wizards below the Yuanhun level cannot detect Li Wei's existence.

From the east of the royal city, dozens of plumes of black smoke rolled in, and the leading plume gradually coalesced into a hideous and terrifying pig-headed demon, none other than the Duke of Blood Lake.

"Hehehe."

Dozens of eerie, grotesque laughs echoed through the sky.

This is the signature laugh of the devils, a wicked and rampant sound.

On the north side of the royal city, a huge blue light gate suddenly formed, from which two frost bone dragons with wingspans of hundreds of meters emerged.

On the head of the bone dragon, a proud silver-haired female swordsman stood upright.

Blue Frost spellcasters, Blue Frost knights, Blue Frost bone beasts... tens of thousands of Blue Frost undead swarmed out and descended from the sky!

"The Duke of Blood Lake said with a smile."

"We're all here except for that old wolf. Why hasn't the church reacted at all? It seems they already know our plan. Maybe they're plotting to ambush us. No matter, we have overwhelming power. Any schemes or tricks are just empty words!"

The voice just fell.

The earth trembled, and giant black wolves emerged from the mountains and forests, rushing towards them and kicking up a trail of dust.

Interspersed among them are other dark creatures, such as black wizards, vampires, and ghouls.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and a jet-black wolf, as large as a small mountain, landed in mid-air above the royal city.

"Gentlemen, it seems the Church already knew about our plan. Now that the arrow is on the bowstring, we have no choice but to use our methods to flatten Heaven Mountain!" The demon wolf, disguised as an old nobleman, said with a calm and composed demeanor.

"Indeed, with such a large-scale mobilization, the enemy will surely discover it and is now hiding in Paradise Mountain, too afraid to come out. As for these mortals, they have been abandoned. This is the Church... Grand and imposing in times of peace, but cowardly in times of turmoil!" Duke Blood Lake said with utter disdain.

"In that case, let the millions of lives in the royal city be used as a blood sacrifice for this grand feast!"

The three groups immediately charged towards the unarmed mortals.

Li Wei hid in the valley, remaining silent.

"Does this church really intend to abandon the people of this city? Abandon this country? Then the foundation of faith of the Heavenly Father in the Nora plane will be gone... As a large plane, Nora shouldn't be such a place of faith that it has to be abandoned, right?"

It's impossible for him to take action; firstly, it's none of his business, and secondly, he's powerless to do so.

Within the royal city, cries of anguish echoed everywhere.

A werewolf nobleman arrived at the Shining Tavern, grabbed a knight, and popped him into his mouth.

In the royal palace, the king trembled as he gazed at the frost-covered bone dragon circling in the sky.

"It's over...it's over, the gods have abandoned us! Quickly, go and ask the Divine Light Knight, she is a legendary knight, only she can save us now."

"Your Majesty, the Divine Knights have been gone for many years..."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Inside Paradise Mountain at this moment.

Theresa asked, "Isn't it time to make our move?"

"Hmm, first create the illusion that we dare not fight these fools and have abandoned mortals. Once they all enter the range of [Heaven's Descent], then wipe them all out in one fell swoop," Yelin laughed.

"That's true. Fishing always requires some bait. The sacrifice of these mortals has brought peace to hundreds of millions of people. It's worth it. Heaven is waiting for them." Theresa's gaze was devout.

"Let's begin. Take out the [Earth Drum]," Yelin said.

He suddenly appeared above Heavenly Mountain, and the power of the saint, like the radiance of the sun, continuously poured into Heavenly Mountain below.

Rumble!

The entire Heavenly Mountain began to tremble and swell!

Heavenly Mountain is essentially a sealed sacred relic!

This sealed sacred artifact is incredibly powerful; even the fifth-level saint, Yelin, cannot control it on his own.

That's why he needed to invite Theresa to use the Earth Drum of the Earth Church to assist in the activation of Paradise Mountain!

"Teresa!"

Yelin shouted loudly.

Theresa nodded, and the sealed artifact, the [Earth Drum], floated in mid-air.

The power of Saint Teresa transformed into drumsticks, continuously striking the drumhead.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Like the beating of a heart, rhythmic drumbeats resounded throughout Tiantang Mountain!

hum!

A white halo rippled out from Paradise Mountain, spreading in all directions.

Like the sound of a mirror shattering, the sky above the royal city began to crack... A thousand-foot-tall sacred mountain appeared out of nowhere, and strands of holy light descended, enveloping the entire royal city and sealing off an area of ​​a hundred miles in radius.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Holy Radiance Barrier that was right in front of him.

"I was almost enveloped as well. What level of sealed artifact is this? It's terrifying. Only a soul weapon could have such power," he muttered to himself.

In order to eradicate these three evil forces in one fell swoop, the church is truly serious.

Li Wei silently moved another ten miles away from the Holy Radiance Barrier, lest the area expand further and trap him inside.

The three level-five alien experts all changed their expressions drastically.

"They actually used Heaven Mountain? Are they crazy? It's said that every time Heaven Mountain is activated, it consumes the souls of a million believers. The Church has completely abandoned the mortals of the royal city. In terms of evil, I am ashamed of myself!" the Lord of Demon Wolf Castle exclaimed.

"Quickly, finish this quickly and kill that pair of scoundrels on the summit of Paradise Mountain!" Duke Blood Lake shouted.

The two bone dragons of the Blue Frost Maiden have already charged towards the Saint!

Inside the Peacock King's City.

Men and women, young and old, from all walks of life, commoners, nobles, knights... even the Peacock Royal Family, millions of people were bathed in the holy light at this moment.

"Wife, come and see heaven."

"Wow, it's holy light! It's so warm. The holy light is protecting us. I knew the gods wouldn't abandon us."

"Light will ultimately triumph over darkness; this is an eternal truth!"

"Do you see that? Those dark creatures are in fear, fleeing, dissolving, because this is... Heaven!"

The king, tears streaming down his face, gazed at all of this.

"Saved! We are saved! Our people are saved! Just as before, the Holy One has descended and vanquished the demons!"

The moment the barrier around Paradise Mountain shattered, the Mind Flayer, who was possessing a bishop, went mad.

"Wait, I haven't opened the door yet!"

He quickly left the church and slipped into the crowd amidst the chaos.

He saw countless mortals smiling in the holy light, praying and chanting devoutly!

Then, souls emerged from the bodies of these mortals.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of souls disappeared into Paradise Mountain, and corpses fell silently, turning into specks of light that surged into Paradise Mountain.

The souls and flesh of these mortals were not wasted in the slightest; they were transformed into firewood!

"A bunch of lunatics."

The sealing force emanating from Heavenly Mountain was constantly increasing. He hurriedly flew towards the edge, his speed decreasing more and more, as if he were carrying a huge mountain on his back!

His will to survive drove him forward with all his might until he could run no more. Even then, he was still several miles away from the barrier.

"Ugh."

He sighed, knowing that death was imminent, feeling unwilling and helpless.

suddenly.

A burly figure appeared outside the barrier, and behind him, the phantom of a blood-red dragon emerged!

The crimson dragon's claws pierced the radiant barrier, tearing a gash in its flesh.

At the same time, the deep blue arm suddenly stretched out, pulling up the Mind Flayer and quickly retreating.

Outside the barrier.

The Mind Flayer looked at the black-robed wizard and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

"It's alright, you can go inside the Alice Ring and stay there," Li Wei said calmly.

Mind Flayer is very useful; he wouldn't just abandon it easily.

The Mind Flayer was overjoyed; the ring would become his refuge.

"I have to say, this Crimson Dragon Dharma Form is too powerful. With it, these kinds of barrier sealing abilities, while having some impact on me, are not fatal. When I retrieve the treasure later, I should be able to do so without any problems."

Gazing at the endless stream of dying mortals, Li Wei shook his head and sighed to himself:

"So this is what going to heaven is like."

the other side.

The three level-five experts naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. They had a huge numerical advantage and each of them had their own trump cards.

The Lord of Demon Wolf Castle had transformed into a giant black wolf ten stories high, its jaws wide open. Instead of attacking Paradise Mountain, it aimed its attacks at the mortals who were dying one after another.

"Quickly, kill these people and send them to hell, otherwise their souls will be taken away by Heaven Mountain, and Heaven Mountain will become stronger and stronger until it suppresses us here and crushes us completely!" the Demon Wolf Fortress Lord said urgently.

The bone dragon coiled, and its icy dragon flames swept towards the mortals.

The Duke of Hell used his enormous hands to stuff a bunch of mortals into his belly as if he were grabbing ants.

They kill or eat people; these are... alien races!

"All saints and paladins, quickly kill the dark creatures! Theresa, go all out! Heaven Mountain has been activated and can now operate on its own," Yerin said calmly.

Theresa nodded.

The two saints leaped down, radiating divine power, and once again engaged in battle with the three powerful alien warriors.

The battle here was so intense that no one paid any attention to Li Wei, who was watching the show from the other side.

He took this opportunity to carefully observe the methods and strengths of all parties.

"The Saint's strength lies in his all-around abilities and his ability to seal sacred artifacts; the old werewolf, on the other hand, possesses an unparalleled physical body and can go toe-to-toe with sealed sacred artifacts; the Blue Frost Maiden and the Demon Duke are more or less average."

After looking around, the only people Li Wei was wary of, besides the Saint, were the old werewolf.

Rumble!

The battle raged for a long time at the foot of Paradise Mountain.

Relying on the suppression from Heavenly Mountain, the two saints gradually gained the upper hand.

Tens of thousands of Blue Frost Undead were completely annihilated. In addition, werewolves, vampires, demons, and countless other dark creatures perished.

Of course, the Church's army of saints and paladins also suffered heavy casualties and fared no better.

The key to this battle lies with the level five powerhouses!

Currently, the level 5 powerhouses present are engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Wei had already seen the trembling temple on the Heavenly Mountain.

Inside the temple, there were treasures enveloped in beams of light.

"The time is almost right, we can set off."

Li Wei took a deep breath, his Hermit runes flashing. Just before he was about to act, he keenly noticed a shadow flashing quickly across the void above Heavenly Mountain.

"Is there anyone else?"

A thought struck him, but he didn't act rashly. It seemed that he wasn't the only one secretly watching the battle at Paradise Mountain.

Sure enough, the next moment, the roar of Saint Yelin echoed from Heavenly Mountain: "Wood, you're courting death!"

"Yelin, I've only come to reclaim the sacred relic that rightfully belongs to the Voice of the Deathbird! Hahaha, you've finally met your match!"

A sharp laugh echoed across the battlefield as a level-five powerhouse, clad in black leather armor, a mask, and a hood, and dressed like an assassin, emerged from the shadow dimension.

The dagger gleaming in his hand easily tore open part of the seal on the treasure, and he reached out to take it.

Theresa, who was fighting the old werewolf, felt a chill run down her spine.

Shadow Hand Wood.

He is the spokesperson for the Lord of Shadows and a fifth-level powerhouse who has emerged as a dark horse in recent years.

He is elusive and skilled in assassination, stealth, and disguise. He is ever-changing, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against!

The Hand of Shadows finished taking the items and was preparing to leave.

But they discovered that a scarlet crack had appeared in the void opposite the temple, and a black-robed wizard with a sinister laugh emerged from it.

With a casual strike, a crimson fire dragon swept out, shattering a cover and taking out a scroll from it. He then glanced at it and took some other treasures.

Wood and the bald wizard exchanged a smile, tacitly choosing not to disturb each other.

After all, the two sides have different needs, so there is no competition.

Li Wei didn't need those sealed sacred objects; he couldn't use them anyway, and they might even attract the attention of the gods.

He took a scroll with the words "Van Helsing" written on it, as well as some materials or knowledge passed down from the church.

Then, the bald wizard glanced at Wood, chuckled, and disappeared from the spot.

Wood felt a lingering fear: "With my stealth and perception abilities as the Hand of the Shadows, I didn't even notice that person's presence. His stealth abilities are even better than mine... The human world is indeed full of hidden talents. It seems that wizards will gradually return to the human world, and it will be even more difficult to survive then."

"You're asking for it!"

Yelin watched helplessly as the two thieves sneaked into Paradise Mountain and stole many treasures.

"Goodbye, Yelin!"

Wood waved his hand, and a black beam of light shot out, aiming for Yerin's head!

After doing all this, he left without looking back.

A bright white light shone from Yelin's body, while the black light seemed to sink into a quagmire and was ultimately stopped by it.

It was a small black sword coated with deadly poison!

Meanwhile, Li Wei, having obtained the treasure, had already left the area covered by Paradise Mountain.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Beneath the Blue Frost Maiden, a level-five frost bone dragon began to tremble with its soul fire, and terrifying energy fluctuations leaked out.

boom!

Amidst a shower of bone fragments, the Frost Bone Dragon self-destructed with a mournful cry!

Taking this opportunity, the Daughter of Blue Frost broke through the Saint's blockade. She quickly left the area of ​​Paradise Mountain, then opened a portal and escaped with the only Frost Bone Dragon.

"Damn it, I, the Duke, will also be going first!"

The Duke of Blood Lake was now missing half of his body, his intestines were spilling out, and holy light was constantly burning his flesh. He was at his last gasp.

Taking advantage of the bone dragon's self-destruction, he quickly retreated, leaving the demon counts behind as cannon fodder.

Although the Lord of Demon Wolf Castle was unwilling, he knew that the situation was unforgiving and he had no choice but to retreat.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The two saints exerted all their strength to hold off the most powerful old werewolf for a moment.

Heavenly Mountain has now reached its strongest form and has begun to fall!

The immense pressure forced the towering wolf to lower its proud head and kneel on the ground.

The next moment, the giant mountain fell, and the Demon Wolf Fortress Lord and the lifeless royal city were completely reduced to dust, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"Teresa, I'll leave the rest to the Blood Lake Duke. I'll handle the aftermath," Yelin said coldly.

"Understood." Theresa transformed into a streak of light and chased after the Duke of Blood Lake.

Yelin gazed at the vanished Peacock City, his expression utterly calm.

Using the power of a single city to kill a level-five representative of an evil god is not a bad deal.

It's important to understand that cultivating a Level 5 Spokesperson in the Prime Material Plane takes one or two hundred years and comes at a considerable cost.

For the Calamity Wolf, it has already lost its qualification to advance in the upcoming era of the resurgence of the demonic tide.

By the time new spokespeople emerge, these veterans will already be considered divine servants.

"The Daughter of Blue Frost is reduced to a single bone dragon, and the Blue Frost army has been completely wiped out. They won't be causing trouble anytime soon. As for Wood, the spokesperson for the Lord of Shadows, he's nothing more than a petty thief in any era. He has no impact on the overall situation of the world."

As for the dark wizard, Yellin simply regarded him as a follower who had come with the demon wolf, and considered him harmless.

What they stole was of no importance to the church.

Because the truly good things don't appear in temples, but are sealed inside the sacred relic of Mount Paradise!

Yelin wielded his holy sword, and one demon count after another fell beneath its blade, including Count Salin, who had come to the mortal realm to find his wife.

the other side.

The heavily wounded Duke of Blood Lake fled all the way and soon arrived at the outer sea.

Behind him, Saint Theresa followed at a distance, and with each tremor of the earth drum, the Duke of Blood Lake grew weaker.

Suddenly, serpentine runes flickered in the void in front of the Duke of Blood Lake, and a gray-robed wizard appeared from them. He held an arcane orb in his hand and had already finished chanting. He waited for the right moment to release the spell!

boom!

A red sun suddenly set!

In a panic, the Duke of Blood Lake plunged headlong into the depths of the explosion.

Accompanied by a terrifying wail, the Duke of Blood Lake, who was already at his wit's end, quickly weakened and turned to ashes in the flames.

"I never expected to encounter a demon on the way. That wicked monster deserves to die!"

The grey-robed wizard collected the Blood Lake Duke's body, didn't even glance at Theresa, and quickly disappeared into the sea.

Seeing that the Devil Duke was dead, Theresa did not pursue him.

This wizard seemed to have happened to pass by and wanted to rid the people of evil and slay demons.

She sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the other person, and it wouldn't be worthwhile to act rashly.

She turned and left. This battle, which resulted in the deaths of two level-five powerhouses, dozens of demon lords, and tens of thousands of undead and dark creatures, should be considered a great victory.

As for ordinary people, as long as their basic survival needs are guaranteed, they can be like leeks—inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

Back in the ruins of the royal city, the Saint Yelin had finished the battle, and Heavenly Mountain had returned to its original state, turning into a miniature mountain that appeared in his hand.

"Is the Duke of Blood Lake dead?" Yelin asked.

"Hmm, you're dead. What are you planning to do now? I mean, how are you going to explain this to your other subjects?"

"Give them holy water, let them forget this city, forget their loved ones, let them start over..."

……

Ancient Sage Plane.

Imperial Palace.

Li Wei took out the spoils he had obtained by taking advantage of the chaos.

"In this operation, I disguised myself as a fourth-circle dark wizard by the side of the demon wolf at Paradise Mountain, and as a white wizard who happened to be passing by when hunting the Duke of Blood Lake. I should not be discovered. We are about to enter the ancient tower, so it is best to avoid trouble."

He first took out the body of the Duke of Blood Lake.

"This isn't a demon's body... It looks like some kind of corpse puppet made from a giant's corpse. What a disappointment."

After cutting open the corpse, Li Wei was somewhat disappointed. If it were the body of a level five demon, it would probably have some research value.

Suddenly, he noticed that the corpse's stomach was bulging and emitting a colorful glow.

With a swift stroke, he sliced ​​it open, and beams of light shot out, scattering across the ground.

These items included magical artifacts, materials, and a black crystal the size of a fingernail.

"This... seems to be a Soul Stone."

Li Wei stroked the black crystal, feeling the mysterious power within it.

This power is different from elemental power; it is ethereal and intangible... the power of the soul.

Li Wei learned from the Knight of Flowers that after the Elemental Soul, there are two general equivalents for wizards.

One type is "Tai Shi," which is the most common.

In addition, there is another currency that is also recognized by the elemental spirit wizards.

That is, the Soul Stone!

Within the Soul Stone lies a trace of soul power. After a Soul Wizard absorbs it, he can condense his Soul. The condensation of the Soul signifies an increase in spiritual power, with endless uses.

After reaching the Yuanhun realm, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult. Relying solely on meditation and supplements is not enough for progress. Therefore, Yuanhun wizards will try every means to find treasures that can enhance their spiritual power.

After death, the vast majority of souls enter hell and the underworld, either becoming hellish creatures or reincarnating in the Mother River.

However, some of them, by chance, remained in the prime material plane, and under the complex combination of various factors, they were given birth to rare soul stones.

"It is said that only a Yuanhun Wizard can refine and absorb the soul power within, but I have the Magic Ring Holy Tower, so maybe I can as well."

Li Wei put it away for the time being; he needed to consult more documents before he dared to refine it with peace of mind.

On the ground, there were also many precious materials, clearly from hell.

"Wait... these materials are all advanced materials for the Necronomicon. Combined with what Lady Ghost has, they're just enough to forge a fifth-ring level Necronomicon!"

Having read this far, Li Wei understood.

The Ghost Lady must have made a deal with hellish demons to obtain such rare hellish materials.

That's why these guys were able to descend to earth.

It was all Lady Ghost's doing!

"By killing her, I was ridding the world of a scourge; otherwise, even more demons would have been released."

Li Wei put these materials away. Once he reaches the fifth level of weapon crafting, he can advance the Necronomicon.

Then he took out all the treasures he had stolen from the church.

This contains three types of level-four elemental metals, a level-four magical artifact, and some knowledge of wizards and alien races. The quality is not high, but it's better than nothing.

What he cared more about was the continuation of the Van Helsing family line.

He opened the old scroll and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

This is indeed the extraordinary legacy of the Van Helsing family, mainly divided into two parts.

The first part covers the basics of vampires, detailing the various types of vampires and their corresponding solutions.

The second part contains the two great Dharma seals recorded therein.

The Seal of Purification and the Seal of Bloodshed!

The Seal of Purification can dispel negative status effects and originates from the most classic first-level spell of the Ocean School, [Washing].

Using the purest water to remove impurities is a common spell that even Li Wei uses occasionally.

The Blood-Slaying Seal is an attack seal specifically designed to target vampires.

Li Wei naturally didn't care about the function of these two seals themselves.

He's just a collector.

"With my current level of cultivation, if I work on these hand seals to their limit, they might produce special effects in just a few days."

After returning from Paradise Mountain.

The next day.

The 64th roundtable meeting was held.

Li Wei looked at the round table, which was more than half full.

"My knights, I will be traveling for a while. During my absence, you must protect our territory and continue your research on talent marks and combat skills. I hope that when I return, I will see your progress."

"Understood, Commander. Are you going to enter the tower in the sky?" the Blood Knight asked.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Six months from now, a projection will appear atop the tower. You will be able to witness the spectacular battles between the wizards and the alien races. Through this opportunity, you can experience firsthand the vast gap between us and the wizards, and where that gap lies. Remember, 'Adversity breeds strength, comfort breeds weakness.'"

"We understand!"

After the meeting, Li Wei went to the Giant Beast Park and the Council of Elders of the Ancient Dragon Empire to make arrangements for the next few decades before returning to the Imperial Palace.

The ancient pagoda floats silently in the sky, enduring the passage of time.

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

Within Li Wei's body, the trembling of the Dark Tower Key grew increasingly intense.

He also learned from the Knight of Flowers that the ancient tower would open in three days.

Although he was staying in the Ancient Saint Plane, Li Wei could still sense it from the news and newspapers.

The whole world eagerly awaits the opening of the ancient tower in three days.

He calmed down and did his own thing at a leisurely pace.

Inside the weapon-refining room.

After several years, the corpse of that sea creature swordsman has been transformed by Li Wei into a new corpse demon.

Li Wei incorporated the precious materials he obtained from Paradise Mountain into this corpse demon.

Sea creatures are inherently strong, and this one is the son of a prince, possessing noble blood.

Therefore, once refined into a corpse demon, its quality is superior to that of the Poison Fire Corpse Demon and the Blood Armor Corpse Demon.

The corpse demon's eight legs wielded eight swords, which Li Wei preserved. He further refined them using his own weapon-forging skills, making them strong enough to withstand any witch weapon below the fifth ring!

"I'll call you Demon Blade."

"Old Eight" was a joke by Li Wei; the name was too awful for him to pronounce.

"Three level-four corpse demons and one level-four alchemical creature—these alone are enough to give those chosen ones a run for their money."

Li Wei sheathed the demon sword, intending to awaken it by infusing it with necromancy once inside the ancient tower.

In the last six months, besides refining the corpse demon, Li Wei also cultivated the two great seals, quickly pushing them to their limits.

Li Wei——————

Purification Seal: Tier 3 (Limit), Special Effect: Gentleness of Water.

Bloodstained Seal: Tier 5 (Limit), Special Effect: Fear of the Blood Clan.

……

As he had predicted, both hand seals produced special effects after reaching their limits.

[Water's Gentleness] goes without saying; this effect is similar to [Dance of the God of Fire] and [Pulse of the Earth], and can enhance Li Wei's elemental affinity talent.

This made Li Wei very certain that the Duncan family's inherited seal, which he had not yet found, must be of the wind attribute!

The four extraordinary families represent the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water!

It is clear that this was done intentionally.

Li Wei believed that there must be many unknown truths buried in the long river of history, and that the four major families were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

As for the other one, [Fear of the Vampire], its effect is simple and straightforward: it increases Li Wei's damage against vampires.

Furthermore, the special effects do not limit the level of the vampire.

Theoretically, if Blood River is considered a vampire, then Li Wei's punch to Blood River might also deal increased damage...

This special effect may seem useless at first glance, but if used properly, it might have a surprising effect.

"The three known family seals are all combinations of one elemental faction and one other faction. The special effects they produce are all related to alien races: [Hell Apostle], [Dragon Affinity], and [Vampire Fear]."

This suddenly sparked a new idea in Li Wei, who had originally only wanted to collect the signs for fun.

He wanted to collect all eight Dharma Seals of the four major families to see if he could make any discoveries.

He immediately added another mission for the Twilight Knights: to find clues about the Duncan family, which had disappeared into the annals of history.

The next day.

When Li Wei emerged from his meditative state, the soul stone, the size of a fingernail, in his hand suddenly turned into powder.

Correspondingly, two more stars condensed within his Ring Tower, increasing the number from 363 to 365.

"As expected, with the Holy Tower of the Rings, one can do whatever one wants. I can refine and absorb this Soul Stone, just like the Soul Weapon fragment, to enhance my spiritual power, saving me almost half a year of arduous cultivation. It's just a pity that Soul Stones are rare and precious items even Yuan Soul Wizards can't obtain. I was lucky to get even this small piece."

This is something that can only be left to fate; there's no way to force it.

After finishing all that, Li Wei called Ye Ya and Raja over.

Two pterosaurs descended from the sky. Li Wei said, "Nightfang, I have left a tracking mark within you. I will give you the key to the ancient tower. After you enter the tower, immediately enter the shadow dimension and then find my location. We will then successfully reunite. As for Raja, I need to seal you inside this book."

The two pterosaurs nodded, and Li Wei immediately cast a spell to release Night Fang and let Raja go inside.

As a shadow creature, Nightfang has an extremely strong ability to survive. As long as it enters the shadow dimension and does not cause trouble, its life is basically safe.

Raja won't do; its wind and thunder power is too conspicuous, and it would be easy for it to be captured.

Then, Li Wei drags Leon out of the Wizard of Oz where he is sleeping soundly.

"Go and sleep inside the Book of Seals."

This guy just eats and sleeps all day long; it's enviable.

"In this way, the Book of Seals will allow me to smuggle in three extraordinary beings: Leon, Raja, and the Crimson Netherbird. The Book of Necromancer will allow me to smuggle in Gilmore, Phoenix, the Blood Lady, and other undead."

As for the corpse demon's body and Tyrant IV, ordinary storage rings can be used to bring them in.

Like a traveler on a long journey, Li Wei checked his luggage again and again.

"Knight's Elixir, Meditation Potion, Stamina Potion, Magic Power Potion, Demon Prison Array, Wizard Artifacts... Inherited Knowledge Book, all complete, everything is ready."

Li Wei gazed at the sky. He hadn't been cultivating tonight; instead, he lay there, lazily watching the ancient pagoda under the starry night, serene and beautiful.

"Commander, you seem to be having a pretty leisurely day," came the voice of the Knight of Flowers. She had appeared beside Li Wei at some point, and, mimicking Li Wei, lay down on the grass, gazing at the starry sky.

She stretched and asked contentedly, "Is everything ready?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Ready?"

The Knight of Flowers raised his hand, and a black, faceless mask appeared, floating to Li Wei's side.

"This is?"

"This is a special magical artifact called the 'Mask of Truth' that Sister Triss asked me to give to you. Once you wear it, it will be very difficult for anyone below the level of a Soul Wizard to detect your cultivation level through your mental energy fluctuations. This artifact can also conceal your methods. Generally speaking, only assassin organizations in the wizarding world would use such a thing."

"Thank you so much, Sister Triss, and thank you for making the special trip," Li Wei said sincerely.

Actually, after thinking about it later, he realized that even if there was a projection, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him. The world is so big, and he is so small.

With his current strength, he is not afraid of anyone except for busy Yuanhun Wizards who would target him.

But Ms. Triss's kindness still touched him deeply.

After delivering the mask, Li Wei and the Knight of Flowers fell silent again.

After a while.

"Are you going back to the witch's house?"

"I won't go back. I'll enter the ancient tower from here tomorrow too."

The next morning.

Li Wei, Flora Knight, Soret, and Night Fang huddled together.

The ancient tower key in their hands emitted a beam of light that reached to the heavens.

Li Wei smiled and said:

"Everyone, all is well! Safety first, staying alive is the most important thing."

Soret and Nighttooth nodded.

The Knight of Flowers laughed and said, "I know."

Then, four beams of light rose from the sky and disappeared in an instant.

In the darkness, the ancient tower shone with a dazzling white light.

In the depths of the Sauron Panplane and even further into the multiverse, countless faint lights seemed to be shining.

Grius, who was snoring in front of the dark ancient tower, suddenly woke up. He grinned, danced around, and clapped and cheered.

"Hooray, let's watch the show!"
