Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 357 The matter is settled, the storm has passed, and the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants have finally been obtained! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe)

For the Tianjinglong Ant.

Li Wei has always maintained a go-with-the-flow attitude.

After all, he himself wasn't that far from reaching level six.

If we could have another level six combatant, that would be ideal.

If not, then we can't force it; our own lives are the most important thing.

As far as he knew, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King's strength was among the top of all the Barbarian Kings, and he was very likely at the mid-stage of level six.

The same applies to the Heavenly Horn Barbarian King; he is not comparable to the Blood Banquet Dharma King, the Thunder Dharma King, or Roman.

The main reason he was able to snatch victory from a level six being twice was because of Senior Mana.

Komana's strength is only at the early stage of level six, although she is slightly stronger due to the power of the Divine Tree.

However, she herself could not move and could only attack from a distance within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, thus her strength could not be fully unleashed.

and so.

Trying to steal the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants while two mid-level level six players are right under their noses is extremely difficult.

Li Wei planned to let the Jin and Yin brothers observe the situation; if the risk was too great, they would give up.

He has already gained a great deal from this trip to the ancient pagoda, so there is no need for him to be greedy for anything more.

The Nine Cities Alliance and the Thunder God Temple serve as cautionary tales.

"I still have one spot left in my Crimson Contract. Besides the Gold and Silver Brothers, I can contract another one. This Skyhorn Barbarian King seems to have a daughter who is also at the peak of Level 5. Perhaps I should think of a way to contract her as well. That way, the Skyhorn Barbarian King's most trusted subordinates and children will all be my people, making it much easier to carry out my plans."

Along the way.

Li Wei increasingly felt that the Crimson Pact skill was truly too powerful.

His figure disappeared into the night, like a ghost.

……

Tianjiao City.

As one of the largest cities in the North, its magnificent form stands tall in the wilderness.

The city gates were tightly shut, and the giant city was surrounded by a protective shield similar to a magic array, which even a level 5 expert could not force his way through.

Within the city, nearly twenty level-five auras rose into the sky like plumes of smoke.

Tianjiao City displayed its formidable strength without hesitation to intimidate any potential enemies.

The City Lord's Hall.

The Barbarian King of the Skyhorn paced back and forth, his face anxious.

Not long after.

Two figures, one in gold and one in silver, strode in with the steady steps of dragons and tigers; they were none other than the Gold and Silver Brothers.

The Barbarian King of the Skyhorn said coldly:

"So? Are there any other barbarian kings willing to lend a hand?"

Golden Horn said:

"My lord, so far, only two barbarian kings are willing to lend a hand: the Sky Jackal Barbarian King and the Hyena Barbarian King. The other barbarian kings are either unable to leave the front lines or have refused outright... The Sky Jackal Barbarian King's price for lending a hand is the Winged Tiger Barbarian King's level-six treasure, the Tiger Soul Overlord Blade, while the Hyena Barbarian King's price is the Winged Tiger Totem's spirit after its death. It can be said that they have divided up all the spoils of war."

Upon hearing that someone was willing to help, the Heavenly Horn Barbarian King breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained angry as he said:

"Apart from the Sky Jackal and the Hyena, the other guys don't even understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' If I lose, which of the remaining barbarian kings is capable of standing up to the Winged Tiger? The Winged Tiger's goal is obvious: he wants to kill me, a tall guy at the mid-stage of level six... That way, he can smoothly unify the barbarians, and the others will either die or surrender!"

Golden Horn sighed:

"Alas, these people don't realize the gravity of the situation until they're facing certain death... But with the help of the two great barbarian kings, I believe that Lord Barbarian King will surely be able to turn the tide and kill the Winged Tiger, protecting the Ant Ancestor!"

The Barbarian King of the Skyhorn sighed and said:

"Investigate further and report back. Also, summon Isa to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The Gold and Silver Brothers quickly withdrew.

A woman of slender build, who appeared much more delicate than the average female barbarian, entered. Her skin had a pale blue sheen, was translucent, and she exuded a faint, chilling aura.

She is none other than Isa, the daughter of the Barbarian King of the Skyhorn.

Isa asked:

"Father, what do you want with me?"

The Barbarian King of the Heavenly Corner said:

"Go to the North Sea immediately, to the Arctic Ice Plains, and find the Ice Queen. Borrow a level six rare treasure from her. This treasure is called the Ice Sea Pearl. After obtaining the treasure, come to see me as soon as possible. This matter must be completed within half a month."

Isa asked:

"No problem... but Father, will the Ice Queen really lend it to us? What if she doesn't?"

The Barbarian King of the Heavenly Corner said:

"She'll lend it to you... just go and ask."

Isabella said seriously:

"Good father, I will definitely complete the mission perfectly!"

She strode away, using her concealment technique to hide her presence, and after leaving the city, she quickly headed towards the North Sea.

On the city wall, the Gold and Silver Brothers watched Isa leave, their expressions unchanged.

The Tianjiao tribe was not far from the North Sea, and Isha was able to make it in time if she traveled at full speed.

Although her father didn't say it explicitly, she could vaguely guess that he was using this level-six treasure to prepare for the ant ancestor's molting.

Every time the ant ancestor molted, my father would be extremely nervous, but thanks to his great strength, he always managed to get through it safely.

But this time was different from the past; Io was facing its most chaotic moment in history.

A series of events, including imperial turmoil and uprisings by outsiders, were intertwined.

Most critically, according to some information, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King has shown his claws and is finally going to make a move against their Skyhorn tribe.

This barbarian king has always been a worry for my father. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for my father to get rid of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King.

After Isha left, the Skyhorn Barbarian King sat alone on his throne, desolate and filled with murderous intent.

"Winged Tiger, if you dare to come this time, I will make sure you don't leave alive."

The Ice Queen was a Level 6 being he met three hundred years ago when he traveled to the North Sea.

Her origins are mysterious; she is neither a barbarian, a demon, nor a stranger.

When they first met, the Ice Queen was seriously injured and attacked by the Black Beast Lord, but he saved her.

Afterwards, the two gradually became acquainted, their relationship warmed up, they had a relationship, and later their daughter was born.

That is, Isa.

However, the Ice Queen had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts on the continent of Io, and Isa was raised by the Barbarian King of the Skyhorn.

The Ice Queen possesses a treasure that forms a small, self-contained icy sea space, where she usually lives in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs.

He planned to send the ant ancestor, which was about to molt, into the ant and secretly have Isa take it out of the city.

At the same time, they also need to create the illusion that the Ant Ancestor and themselves are both in Tianjiao City, so as to lure the enemy here.

At that time, he will join forces with the two barbarian kings, Sky Jackal and Hyena, to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

……

Tianjiao City is located ten thousand miles to the north.

Isabella was in a hurry.

Suddenly, a crack appeared around him.

Her expression changed, and before she could react, she was sucked in.

In the void.

The Hermit runes flickered, and Li Wei's figure appeared.

"My combo of stealth, absorbing, and ganging up has become increasingly refined."

He muttered to himself, found a safe place, and entered the Holy Grail himself.

The Eight Heavenly Dragon Prisons.

The three evil forces—Nick God, Black Lotus Beast, and Vampire Dragon—had already bound the seemingly weak and delicate Isa tightly, awaiting Li Wei's judgment.

The vampire dragon let out a sinister, grotesque laugh, though it's unclear who it learned that from.

With the combined strength of the "Three Heavenly Kings," suppressing any enemy below the Yuanhun level would be a piece of cake.

Isa had never witnessed such a scene before. She tried to contact her father, the barbarian king, but found that the means of communication were not working at all.

"Where is this?"

Isa looked flustered and questioned him.

boom!

A heavy, black-armored swordsman's figure crashed to the ground, causing the earth to crack and dust to billow.

He raised his head, his calm, unwavering gaze sweeping over Isha.

Isa rebuked:

"I am the daughter of the Barbarian King of the Skyhorn! What do you wicked people intend to do to me?"

Although she didn't pay much attention to outsiders, she understood that these methods were definitely not those of barbarians.

Li Wei chuckled lightly:

"Looks like I didn't arrest the wrong person."

Isa asked:

"You're a guest of honor of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King? He sent you to kill me, didn't he?"

Li Wei completely ignored her. He reached out and placed his palm on Isabella's chest, causing Isabella to blush.

"You shameless scoundrel! If you have the guts, kill me! Why insult my...master!"

Before Isha could finish her tirade, the scarlet dragon mark appeared, and she immediately changed her address to "master."

Li Wei asked seriously:

"What does the Heavenly Horned Barbarian King want with you? What is the current situation of the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants? Tell me everything."

Isa said:

"My father sent me to the North Sea to find the Ice Queen and obtain a treasure called the Ice Sea Pearl..."

After she finished speaking in detail, Li Wei looked thoughtful.

"I never expected that Beihai would hide such a reclusive master. This place, Aiou, is full of hidden talents. Besides the three native inhabitants, there are many other level-six beings such as the Deer-Headed Sage and the Ice Queen. However, they are all elusive and rarely seen."

Li Wei asked:

"What are Ice Sea Pearls? What are they used for?"

Isa said:

"Master, I don't know either. I just did what Father said... I guess it might be to help the Ant Ancestor molt smoothly. The Ant Ancestor is of the Frost attribute, and this Ice Sea Pearl seems to be the same."

Li Wei nodded. Although he didn't know what the Heavenly Horn Barbarian King planned to do, with Isa as the mole, he would find out sooner or later.

Li Wei did not delay Isa's actions; he released her.

"Report your progress to me regularly," Li Wei said.

Isa said:

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, she transformed into a ray of light and headed towards the North Sea.

Li Wei hid in the wilderness outside Tianjiao City, cultivating while relying on the Jin and Yin brothers to continue observing the development of the situation.

a few days later.

In the secluded training ground, Li Wei opened his eyes and accessed the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Death Dragon Breathing Technique: Level 16 (Limit, can be evolved/advanced)...

"The Death Dragon has reached its limit, but now is clearly not the time to refine it..."

Li Wei closed the panel and continued practicing other breathing techniques.

His Dead Ember Dragon Elixir is ready, but he can only go into seclusion after he finishes dealing with the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants.

According to his estimate, the final battle for Chaos City would begin around the time his seclusion ended.

That would be the most epic battle on the continent of Aiou, with dozens of level six warriors gathering in Chaos City to fight against the Supreme God of Law. Just thinking about it is thrilling.

However, Li Wei was unsure whether the ancient tower could remain open until then.

If possible, and provided it is safe to do so, observing the battle from a distance through the Crimson Pact is certainly not out of the question.

He was extremely envious of the Deer-Headed Sage's physique.

"Speaking of which, someone who can become a Yuanhun powerhouse with the body of a rare object... must at least be at the Morning Star level, and maybe even the Bright Moon level, although the probability is not high."

A Moon-level artifact is a treasure that even a Yuanhun Wizard would covet, so Li Wei dared not have too high expectations.

……

North Sea.

On the ice field.

Following her father's instructions, Isa successfully found the Ice Queen.

She sat alone on the ice, fishing by the sea like an ordinary person...

The Ice Queen looked at Isa and asked:

"Your father sent you, didn't he?"

Isa nodded obediently and said:

"Senior, my father asked me to borrow your [Ice Sea Pearl]..."

With a flick of her fishing rod, the Ice Queen unleashed a massive, level-five fish, a hundred meters long and radiating an imposing aura, leaping out of the water. The fish opened its gaping maw and lunged to devour her.

The Ice Queen emerged from beneath her sleeves a fist as smooth as jade, covered with layers of ice crystals.

boom!

She threw a punch, and the big fish was instantly frozen, unable to move.

She held a crystal-blue bead in her hand, within which a blue ocean and miniature icebergs could be vaguely seen.

This is the Ice Sea Pearl, also the Ice Queen's...hometown.

The Ice Sea Plane.

This plane was originally a small plane, but thanks to the efforts of the Ice Crystal Clan, it was finally upgraded to a medium-sized plane. As the plane's ruler, she also successfully advanced to level six.

Who would have thought that before they could even enjoy their good days, their beautiful dream was shattered by a Level 6 evil being passing by.

She fought hard to protect her homeland, and the battle between the two left the fragile Ice Sea plane devastated.

The Ice Queen, who had just advanced to level six, was no match for the invaders. At the critical moment, an ancient tower that spanned the dark land descended.

She, the invaders, and the icy sea plane were all pulled into it by a tremendous suction force.

When she awoke, the evil being was dead on the spot, and she was also seriously injured. A fragment of the Ice Sea Plane, along with its plane's will, inexplicably became the Level 6 treasure [Ice Sea Pearl] in her hands.

Inside this bead is a shattered plane on the verge of death, its boundaries constantly collapsing.

As the ruler of the plane, she could sense that the will of the plane was also weakening.

No matter how hard the Ice Queen tried, she was powerless to change the situation.

The advantage of the path of becoming a plane master is that it grants a long lifespan and makes it relatively easier to break through realms.

The price is that the plane's ruler will be completely bound to the plane, sharing both prosperity and ruin.

In fact, for many weak planes and powerful alien races, apart from becoming the ruler of a plane, they do not have a superior path to transcendence like that of a wizard.

Therefore, the moment the plane completely perishes will also be the moment of her demise.

Judging from the current state of the Ice Sea Pearl, she will perish along with it in at most two hundred years.

This secret was known only to her.

So when she heard that Isa wanted to borrow the Ice Sea Pearl, the Ice Queen hesitated.

After a moment, she suddenly felt relieved, and then sighed:

"Take it... My life was given to me by your father. Keep this safe as a memento."

Isa didn’t know that the Ice Queen was her mother, but hearing these sad words, she felt inexplicably sad.

"Thank you, senior. We'll return it when we're done!"

Isa hadn't expected the trip to go so smoothly, so she quickly left and flew towards Skyhorn City.

The Ice Queen's eyes held a complex expression.

Isa, this child who is half ice crystal and half barbarian, may be the last ice crystal race member in the multiverse.

……

On the wilderness.

Li Wei learned that Isa had successfully obtained the [Ice Sea Pearl] and was on her way to Tianjiao City.

"So smoothly... Is this Ice Sea Queen really that easy to talk to?"

he murmured.

"Regardless of the outcome, let's see how each side makes their entrance."

……

Tianjiao City.

Beneath the city walls, a thousand feet underground.

Suddenly, a bright and spacious area appeared, resembling a temple square.

In the center, there is a giant blue ant, a hundred meters long, with dragon horns on its head.

A chilling aura emanated from the giant ant, its breath turning the area into an underground ice cave.

This is a stronghold of the barbarians; only the Barbarian King of the Skyhorn can enter.

And today, Isa also came to this place.

The giant ant's breathing gradually stopped, and finally it fell silent, as if it had died.

Isabella asked in confusion:

"Father...isn't the ant ancestor still ten days away from molting?"

The Heavenly Horned Barbarian King gently stroked the Ant Ancestor's dragon horn and said sadly:

"Isa, that was a smokescreen put out by my father. I was worried that the people around me had been bribed by the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, so I deliberately used false information to test them... Sure enough, there is indeed a traitor in our Skyhorn tribe."

In fact, the Ant Ancestor is about to molt today. I sent you to retrieve the Ice Sea Pearl so that I could secretly take the Ant Ancestor away. I need you to find the Ice Queen. Our Sky Horn Tribe and the Winged Tiger Tribe are bound to have a life-or-death battle.

Between me and the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, only one of us can live in this world; it's either him or me who dies...

Although you possess peak level five strength, you are still far from being a Barbarian King. If I die, even the Winged Tiger Barbarian King will not spare you.

Isabella's expression changed, and she said:

"Father, you won't die! You are the mighty Heavenly Horned Barbarian King..."

The Barbarian King of the Heavenly Corner said:

"Take Ant Ancestor with you and stay away from the conflict for now. You should go find the Ice Queen... because she is your mother."

Isabella's expression was complicated.

The Barbarian King of the Skyhorn smiled bitterly:

"You weren't picked up by your father. The reason you were born with a weak constitution, unlike the barbarians, is not because of a curse... but because you are only half a barbarian. You'll understand the rest once you find your mother."

Isa's eyes welled up with tears, and she said:

"Father, why don't you go with the Ant Ancestor? Why don't we leave the Northern Territory and fly far away?"

The Heavenly Horn Barbarian King grabbed Isa's hand, then gently pricked her fingertip, dripping blood onto the Ice Sea Pearl.

"This thing can only be used by your mother and you. Now, try to open the bead and put away the ant ancestor."

Isa asked:

"Father, you still haven't answered me..."

The Heavenly Horn Barbarian King suddenly burst into laughter, his voice shaking the underground palace.

"Isa, every barbarian man, no matter who he is, is a brave and valiant hero with flesh and blood. My father is one, and so is the Winged Tiger Barbarian King... I can't keep hiding from the Winged Tiger Barbarian King with my people forever. Besides, I've already made preparations for this battle. Who will win and who will die is uncertain."

"There's no time to lose, you must leave quickly. If you hear of my death, don't come back. Take Ant Ancestor and your mother, and go into seclusion in the North Sea... If that Winged Tiger Barbarian King truly has the ability to lead the barbarians out of this shackles of heaven and earth, that would be a good thing."

Isa, her emotions complicated and her eyes slightly red, drove the Ice Sea Pearl.

A crack emanating a chilling aura appeared, sucking away the motionless ant ancestor.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and tears streamed down her face as she said:

"The spirit of the heavens will protect you, Father."

After saying that, Isa turned around and left without looking back.

In the square, only the Heavenly Horn Barbarian King remained. He sighed, left the place, and reappeared on the city wall.

He placed a long spear that radiated a precious light to the side, closed his eyes, and stood waiting for the storm to arrive.

The heavens and earth trembled uncontrollably under this oppressive atmosphere.

……

Leave Tianjiao City.

Isa quickly disappeared into the wilderness, until she was tens of thousands of miles away.

She arrived at a valley and saw a black-armored figure flying swiftly and rapidly, as fast as lightning—it was Li Wei.

He was like a nimble eagle, transforming into a blue phantom.

In the sky, there seemed to be hundreds of Li Weiying clones.

Finally, countless phantoms converged and surged into Li Wei's body.

He swept his greatsword horizontally, and a streak of azure sword energy emitted a clear eagle cry, traversing the continuous mountain range and turning everything in its path into dust, stretching for several miles.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Wei stopped training. While waiting, he had already refined the "Azure Eagle Divine Scripture" to the fifth level and had a basic grasp of "Eagle Soaring Over the Vast Ocean".

This move is extremely powerful. It relies on the speed of movement to create countless illusions before unleashing a devastating attack.

Isa knelt on the ground, waiting for Li Wei to finish practicing his swordplay. She then held up a bead, bowed her head, and said:

"Master, the Ant Ancestor is in the Ice Sea Pearl."

Li Wei smiled as he accepted the ice-blue bead, within which a tiny ant could be faintly seen sleeping.

He sighed deeply in his heart:

"Alas, Brother Barbarian King, I'm sorry. I will take good care of your wife and daughters from now on..."

He opened a spatial rift and took Isha into his possession. Then, with a ripple of his hand, he tore open the crimson dark side, stepped into it, and vanished.

Without lifting a finger or taking any risk, the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants were obtained...

This made Li Wei feel as if he were in a hallucination, an extremely unreal experience.

Before leaving the ancient pagoda, my last concerns were fulfilled.

What happened next was left to chance.

As for the storm that was about to hit the North, it was no longer his concern.

……

half a month later.

The Winged Tiger Barbarian King, accompanied by the Tiger Ancestor, descended upon Skyhorn City.

The Heavenly Barbarian King, single-handedly holding the pass, said:

"You still came."

Winged Tiger Barbarian King laughed:

"Tianjiao, why don't you join my ranks? Let's storm Chaos City together and shatter this world."

The Barbarian King of the Sky Horn shook his head:

"Stop using such tricks. Ever since you advanced to the mid-stage of the sixth rank, your determination to kill me has been unwavering."

The Winged Tiger Barbarian King roared to the sky, and his tiger-headed greatsword slashed down with a thunderous crash!

"Hahaha, let's fight then!"

"roar!"

Tiger Ancestor roared, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to tremble, sweeping everything away with the force of a raging wind.

The Barbarian King of the Skyhorn looked around and said loudly:

"Skyjackal, hyena... let's make our move."

In the void, two more level-six auras appeared, hovering in the air.

However, the jackals and hyenas were attacking the Skyhorn Barbarian King...

The Heavenly Horn Barbarian King's expression changed drastically. He brandished his spear, struggling to maintain his balance, and questioned:

"What do you two mean by this?"

The Way of the Heavenly Jackal Barbarian King:

"Tianjiao, times have changed. Old fogies like you will only hinder the development of the barbarians."

Hyena Barbarian King's Way:

"I'm sorry... we broke our promise."

With a single slash, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King unleashed a roar that echoed through the mountains and forests, tearing open the void.

Although the Heavenly Horned Barbarian King was powerful, he was ultimately no match for four opponents.

Not long after the battle began, they had already fallen to the bottom.

After several dozen rounds, he was slashed to the ground by the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, his face weak and covered in wounds.

The Winged Tiger Barbarian King said sternly:

Where is the ant ancestor hiding?

The Heavenly Horned Barbarian King remained silent. He grabbed his spear again and thrust it forward, but was cleaved in two by the Tiger Head Greatsword, his entire body split open.

The vitality of the Heavenly Horned Barbarian King was incredibly strong; he was not dead, and a faint, illusory spirit could be seen watching the three men and one tiger surrounding him.

"You'll never know where the ant ancestor is, hahahaha..."

After he finished speaking, the spirit of the Heavenly Horned Barbarian King disintegrated and vanished into the world.

"well……"

Tiger Ancestor suddenly sighed.

The Winged Tiger Barbarian King said coldly:

"Search for Tianjiao City."

The Sky Jackal Barbarian King and the Hyena Barbarian King, who had already become subordinates of the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, immediately began their search.

Finally, they found an empty ice cave with faint traces of a level six aura.

"Damn it! The ant ancestor was already moved away by Tianjiao."

From then on.

The whereabouts of the Ant Ancestor became a mystery, and along with him disappeared was Isa, the daughter of the Skyhorn Barbarian King.

North Sea.

The fishing rod in the Ice Queen's hand suddenly trembled and then shattered.

Her expression changed, and she looked incredulous.

"How did he die...? What about Isha?"

……

To save time on the journey, Li Wei did not go to Dragon Palace Island.

He then thought of another paradise... that is, the underground world.

There, apart from a group of adorable black beasts, there were no other humans, so he could cultivate in peace and wait for the ancient tower to be completed.

Arriving at the Great Rift Valley in the North, one enters the underground world.

Last time, Li Wei hunted down countless black beasts here.

After many years, the black beast population here seems to have recovered somewhat.

As he went deeper, that sense of danger began to linger again.

The underworld harbors powerful black beast lords, and the level-six lightning-type giant clam mentioned by the clam demon matriarch may be one of them.

He didn't venture any further, but found a secluded spot to settle down and entered the fairyland.

The 24 mountains of flesh and blood have been distributed into hundreds of different storage rings. This is all thanks to the Holy Infant.

Li Wei tried to open the Ice Sea Pearl within the Fairy Realm, but found that he couldn't.

Seeing this, Isa quickly said:

"Only my mother and I can open this bead... Master."

She took the Ice Sea Pearl, opened it, and cold air emerged from the spatial rift.

Seeing this, Mana floated down from the banyan tree and said with great interest:

"Interesting... This extraordinary treasure actually contains a shattered plane that is on the verge of death, and its size is much larger than the Ancient Banyan Wonderland that I am nurturing within me."

The Ancient Banyan Wonderland is merely a plane embryo or prototype, not even a small plane.

The Ice Sea Plane, however, is a plane born from the Dark Land, and after a long period of time, it has been upgraded to a medium-sized plane.

However, the Ice Sea Pearl only contains a fragment of a plane containing the will of that plane; it is incomplete.

The other fragments had already become part of the intersection when they were swept into the ancient tower.

Li Wei felt a surge of passion.

"It's such a rare treasure... By the way, senior, could you absorb the dimensional fragments within this treasure? Would it be of any benefit to you?"

Mana said:

"Theoretically, I can integrate this plane fragment into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and make it a part of me, which can accelerate the expansion of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland... and make it upgrade into a small plane faster."

My fate and the Ancient Banyan Wonderland are intertwined. After its upgrade, it can also give back some of its power to me, and my strength may be able to break through to the mid-stage of level six.

However, I cannot absorb this plane fragment right now because the will of this plane is owned. In other words, this inconspicuous broken plane also has a plane ruler.

Only with the consent of the plane's ruler, or by killing the plane directly and leaving it without a master, can I absorb it. Otherwise, the plane will be directly destroyed and become a desolate plane, and absorbing it would be of no use.

Li Wei suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Isa.

Isabella asked in confusion:

"My father said that my mother wasn't a barbarian... but an Ice Crystal Clan member. Could it be that my mother is the ruler of that plane?"

Li Wei had never heard of the Ice Crystal Clan. There were countless weak races in the multiverse, and what was recorded in the wizarding knowledge was only the tip of the iceberg.

Li Wei asked Mana:

"Senior, if this plane dies, then Isha's mother, who is the ruler of this plane, will also die, right?"

He remembered that the Knight of Flowers had explained things to him.

The path to dominating multiple planes may seem like a shortcut, and it can easily grant immortality, but the price is being trapped within a plane, like a canary in a cage, slowly being boiled like a frog in water... Once the plane encounters a calamity from the Dark Land, it will perish along with it.

This path is an inferior one for wizards.

The sun and moon decay, but I am immortal; heaven and earth perish, but I am undying. Transcending everything is the true superior way!

This is also the true "way of truth" or "way of immortality" that Livy pursued.

Mana nodded.

"That's true, but there are some exceptions, though they are extremely rare..."

Li Wei then asked:

"If you absorb this shattered plane, will Isha's mother still be able to survive?"

Mana said:

"Not necessarily... However, I can transform this shattered plane into a secret realm of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, making it a subordinate secondary plane of the Wonderland. In this way, the will of the shattered plane will be extinguished, and replaced by a wisp of my will. Then, Mother Isa can become the master of the secret realm and the ruler of the secondary plane of the Great Ancient Banyan Wonderland... Of course, the price is that she will also lose her freedom, become a vassal of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, and be bound to me from then on."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei seemed to be deep in thought.

Isa said:

"Senior Mana, I'd like to ask, approximately how long until this plane of existence is completely destroyed?"

Mana said:

"It could be as short as a hundred years, or as long as two hundred years. That's a long time for mortals, but for this plane, it's the moment before death... In other words, Isa's mother will die within two hundred years. By the way, Li Wei, are you planning to save her?"

Isa looked at Levi.

As a Scarlet Servant, she respects and obeys all her master's decisions.

However, because of the lingering affection in her blood, she also hoped that her master could save her mother.

Li Wei thought for a moment, then smiled wryly and said:

"I would like to save her... but with my current strength, it would be too dangerous for me to make contact with her."

Mana said:

"This time I can offer to help you... You just want me to do it, right?"

Li Wei chuckled and said:

"If you're willing to help me, that's no problem. We can't beat her anyway, so we'll just run away."

After all, Mana had already helped him several times, and he really couldn't bring himself to ask Mana to help him again.

However, he had already guessed that, given Mana's kindness, she would most likely take the initiative to help.

Mana said:

"Judging from the situation of the shattered plane's will, Isa's mother's strength should be at the initial level six. I am confident that I can control the situation, so Li Wei, you don't need to worry."

Isabella was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Senior Mana!"

If a mother entrusts something so important to her own life to her son, it means she has already resolved to die.

However, before setting off for Beihai, Li Wei had more important things to do.

He instructed Isa to release the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants from the Ice Sea Pearl.

The giant ant seemed dead, silent, its heart beating extremely weakly.

Li Wei summoned the Ice Phoenix.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant, the Ice Phoenix was visibly agitated, her breathing rapid, and she exclaimed in disbelief:

"Master, you...you really did it? You managed to steal the Celestial Crystal Dragon Ants from under the Barbarian King's command!"

Her chest heaved in shock.

For her, this was an impossible task.

She had been too naive. If things had proceeded normally, with her current strength, she wouldn't have been able to even get close to the dragon ants, let alone contract one.

"This...isn't this Isha?"

Upon seeing Isaac, the Ice Phoenix finally understood. With Li Wei's terrifying contractual abilities, this matter was indeed possible to accomplish.

Li Wei asked:

"Generally speaking, how long does the molting and dormancy period of the Celestial Dragon Ant take?"

Isa said:

"That's uncertain. The molting of the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant can be divided into minor molting, major molting, and complete molting..."

The minor molting process lasts about a year, after which the user's strength increases slightly.

The great transformation takes three years. After the transformation is complete, there will be a minor improvement in one's realm.

However, if it's a complete transformation from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, then it would take at least ten years.

Judging from the dragon ant's strength, it couldn't have fully molted, so I estimate it will take at least one year, and at most three years.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's alright, I have at least a year to try... I might as well just try the Crimson Pact, whether it succeeds or not, I'll leave it to fate."

The Crimson Contract theoretically has no level restrictions; Li Wei had previously contracted with Soret, whose realm was higher than his own.

However, he was unsure whether the Crimson Contract could succeed, given the insurmountable barrier of the Yuan Soul.

He now has a total of six contract slots, but the Gold and Silver Brothers died in the Battle of Skyhorn City. This frees up two contract slots.

He dismissed the Ice Phoenix and stared at the hundred-meter-long giant ant before him.

Its body surface is covered with a shell that resembles ice crystals, and its thick limbs are like pillars supporting the sky. Although it is asleep, the level six power it unintentionally exudes still makes Li Wei's expression solemn.

"Come on, if we can't succeed, then after leaving the ancient tower, we'll leave it in a secret realm and subdue it when I'm strong enough."

With Mana by his side, Li Wei mustered his courage and approached the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant, extending his palm.

Then, the power of the Crimson Dragon transformed into a long, slender, crimson dragon, which tried to burrow into the dragon ant's head.

next moment.

A faint blue light easily blocked the power of the crimson dragon.

Li Wei knew something was wrong.

He knew that even if this Level 6 being was fast asleep and unconscious, he could not easily shake it.

Just now.

Green branches cascaded down from the sky, emitting a soft green light and filling the air with fragrance.

The green light and the blue light of the dragon ants clashed.

At this moment, the dragon ant did not wake up; it was merely resisting instinctively, like muscle memory.

However, the sleeping dragon ant was clearly no match for Mana.

Before long, the green light broke through the dragon ants' blue light protection and enveloped them.

Taking this opportunity, Li Wei unleashed the power of the Crimson Dragon, which seeped into the dragon ant's body and burrowed into its head.

A vague sense of awareness instinctively began to resist.

Feeling the pressure, Li Wei hardened his heart, and six majestic dragon phantoms appeared in the sky behind him amidst roars.

The sky and earth changed color, and Isa trembled all over.

"These are... dragons, so many dragons? Just who is our master?"

Legend has it that in the ancestral lands of the barbarian tribes, as passed down through generations, there were tribes that used dragons as their totem beasts; these tribes were known as the "Dragon Tribes." Each one was a colossal force, teeming with barbarian kings and powerful warriors!

Accompanied by a loud shout.

The powerful dragon's might was compressed together by Li Wei and imprinted on his nascent consciousness along with the power of the Crimson Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the force of resistance was swept away by the dragon's might and began to recede like a tide.

The power of the Crimson Dragon rapidly formed a Crimson Dragon mark within his body.

Li Wei's forehead was covered in sweat. He exhaled and stared at the fleeting mark on the forehead of the Tianjing Dragon Ant.

He stroked the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ant's horn and murmured softly:

"Sleep now, and perhaps when you wake up, you'll already be in a new world..."

As the feeling of connection and control from the Crimson Pact began to emanate from him.

Li Wei knew that the Crimson Pact had not disappointed him... The Crimson Dragon, the eternal god!

Compared to the Crimson Emperor Dragon, which can overcome all laws with sheer force, the Scarlet Dragon appears more vicious and cunning.

The Crimson Pact is truly the most powerful technique in the Crimson Dragon Breathing method. From the time of the contract with Andrew until now, this contract has rendered countless services to Li Wei.

Because of the Holy Grail, he and Mana had a close partnership, and he couldn't really command Mana.

Li Wei had always relied on Mana's helpfulness to get her to do things. Now things are different; he's the boss of the Sky Crystal Dragon Ants.

Before reaching level six, with the Heavenly Crystal Dragon Ants protecting him, his cultivation path will be much safer.

He also possessed a sliver of power to influence the higher levels of the wizarding world.

Seeing the excited Levi, Mana couldn't help but say:

"Are we about to leave this place?"

Li Weidao:

"Yes, it won't be long before you see the vast world outside the ancient tower, the infinite wonders of multiple dimensions, and we will witness it together."

Mana said:

"marvelous."

After subduing the Dragon Ant Queen, Li Wei allowed her to sleep under the ancient banyan tree. With Senior Mana watching over her, he felt even more at ease. It was his first time contracting a level six being; he couldn't be too careful.

The battle with the dragon ants at the consciousness level had taken a heavy toll on Li Wei. After resting for several days in the underground world and recovering to his peak condition, he headed to the North Sea.
