Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 468 The Twilight Demon King! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

A month later.

A small wedding was held on the Ancient Dragon Continent. Li Wei sighed as yet another member of the group settled down, feeling a bit like his parents from a past life.

The Darkmoon Knight is a level six knight, and Garona, the Soul Witch, is a match made in heaven.

After their wedding, the couple immediately set out to have a child. For them, reaching level six marked a new stage, and levels seven and eight were still unknown. They indeed needed offspring to inherit their bloodline and legacy in advance.

The knight bloodline is basically fine, it's just a matter of concentration, but the wizard talent is an unknown.

However, judging from the historical research of the Wizarding World, the probability of a child born to a Spirit Witch with the talent of an elemental child is not low.

Don't you see that most of the top geniuses are descendants of dual-elemental souls?

Regarding having children, Li Wei and Elena discussed it, and after some discussion, they reached a surprising consensus:

That means we shouldn't do it for now.

Firstly, both of them are currently focusing entirely on cultivation, aiming for level nine or even legendary status, and given their potential, this is not a pipe dream.

Secondly, the couple were too busy to take care of their children, let alone spend time with them. By leaving everything to the servants, they turned their children into "left-behind children," which was clearly irresponsible.

Aside from that, there are no other difficulties, and ultimately I don't really want it at the moment.

Otherwise, given Li Wei's Lover Rune ability, even though the two have different dragon bloodlines and it is extremely difficult for them to unite, they could still have a child.

However, the two also thought that once Baihua advances to level nine, or Li Wei advances to legendary status, they only need to meet one condition to consider having children. There is no need to delay any longer, as they have reached the realm of being invincible in the universe.

Although he doesn't plan to have children for the time being, Li Wei constantly encourages the Eighteen Riders and members of the Twilight Temple to settle down and start families at the right time, so as to leave behind their bloodline.

The way of chivalry is the way of bloodline inheritance. Nothing is more suitable for branching out and growing stronger than natural reproduction.

He even established a complete set of reward mechanisms and measures to encourage childbirth. In any case, with the organization's current resources and wealth, even if those descendants have limited talents, they can still live and work in peace and contentment in the mortal communities of the Ancient Dragon Continent, and carry out logistical work.

Under these measures, most ordinary knights, except those who were solely focused on cultivation, also established their own families, creating many small knight clans across the Ancient Dragon Continent.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the outstanding descendants of these knightly families could enter the Twilight Temple to study, while the mediocre ones could still obtain a minor official position in the mortal communities to protect the people and maintain order.

However, because Li Wei was worried that, like in the old kingdoms, families would seize power and disrupt the order at the bottom of society, these knightly families were primarily responsible for producing knights and ensuring the continuation of the bloodline, without much real power or influence.

Not only knight families, but also wizard families and extraordinary families, all follow the same principle. In the Ancient Dragon Continent, these family concepts, under Li Wei's deliberate manipulation, will be subordinated to the collective concept of the organization.

Among the Twilight Eighteen Riders, the Golden Lion Knight and the Divine Light Knight had been partners for a long time. Although they had not held a wedding, they were already husband and wife in reality.

When the "Old Golden Lion" of the Loess Continent was alive, he often urged his good son, longing to hold his grandson.

Jinshi is a filial son with a strong sense of family. He and Shenguang already have two daughters and one son, from eldest to youngest, namely Lena, Leia, and Ryder.

Of the two daughters, one inherited the Golden Lion bloodline, and the other the Peacock bloodline. The younger son was unlucky; he inherited both bloodlines simultaneously, but due to a bloodline conflict, he nearly died. Although he was saved, he lost his bloodline inheritance. This phenomenon was common among intermarriages between different knightly families. In the age of decline, many knightly families, to avoid the so-called "bloodline curse," would choose consanguineous marriage or use mortals as breeding tools.

However, due to the development of knightly civilization, the knights of the Twilight Temple also learned about the so-called bloodline curse, which was actually a bloodline conflict, and later resolved the problem. Now, it is possible to ensure that knights of different bloodlines can inherit one bloodline relatively stably. However, inheriting the bloodlines of both sides without conflict remains a major research challenge for the Twilight Temple.

The Golden Lion Knight's two daughters are both quite talented and have already become first-level knights, officially joining the Twilight Temple and embarking on their own journeys. The younger son, though lacking knightly blood, possesses dual-elemental affinity and has developed the special talent [Breath of Winter], making him a genius on par with Aonia and Soret. With proper training, his future potential as a Yuanhun (spiritual soul) is promising.

Because their youngest son did not inherit the Golden Lion bloodline, the Golden Lion Knight, while respecting the divine light, wanted to have another son. However, extraordinary beings are not reproductive tools; on the contrary, compared to mortals, their union and childbirth consume far more energy, and in severe cases, it may even affect their cultivation. Therefore, the couple was not in a hurry about this.

The Goddess Knight and the Holy Ape Knight are in similar situations.

After the Goddess Knight advanced to level six, the couple began to intentionally have children. The Goddess, in particular, felt that level six might be her limit and that she might not be able to keep up with Emperor Mu's pace after that. So she thought of leaving behind a talented offspring to accompany Emperor Mu.

The other knights, like the Blood Knight, either had long since renounced worldly emotions and were focused on their cultivation, caring little for the so-called bloodline inheritance; or their time had not yet come, and therefore they had not yet found a partner.

If you don't care about relationships, that's fine, but if you want to stay with your partner for a long time, you'll definitely want to find a female knight or witch of level six or above.

Li Wei understood all of this. In the end, such things were just seasonings in the lives of immortals, not like those mortals in their previous lives who could die without love and affection. In any case, leaving behind one's legacy before death was the ultimate achievement.

After the wedding.

Li Wei also learned from Triss that Celia of the Witch's Hut had recently passed away, having reached the advanced level of the fifth ring.

He vaguely remembered the witch reading a book when he first stepped into the witch's hut, and he later had many collaborations with Celia. Celia's achievement of reaching the fifth ring was also inseparable from Li Wei's help.

Time flies, and everything is fading away...

At Celia's funeral, Li Wei and Baihua made a personal trip, which made Celia's children feel extremely uneasy. They obviously did not expect that someone like the Lord of Twilight would come to their mother's funeral.

Several months later.

Gondor.

While forging the sword array with Victor, the Holy Infant arrived at the entrance of the Fire Dragon Shop, where the sign that used to hang was now gone.

Instead, a plaque bearing the words "Fire Dragon Craftsmanship" has been erected, and the workers are busily preparing the venue for tomorrow's press conference. Gondor seems to have become lively all over the city.

Times have changed. The Fire Dragon Shop is no longer the small workshop it once was, but a large-scale equipment manufacturer with a complete industrial chain, relying on Gondor and radiating throughout Middle-earth and even the Wizarding World.

Therefore, according to the wishes of the original owner, taking the meaning of "the fire dragon creates things, with ingenious craftsmanship", the name was changed to "Fire Dragon's Heavenly Craft". Although the name of the Fire Dragon Shop has changed, its spirit and purpose remain the same.

As the Holy Infant gazed upon all this, he felt that his life had entered a new phase, and everything was full of hope.

Suddenly, he sensed something, took out a broken soul tablet, and his eyes widened slightly... It read "Mia".

He sighed deeply:

"Take care."

Yes, just now, Mia died.

When they first met in the ancient tower, Mia was already several hundred years old. The fact that she has lived this long means she has actually exceeded the average lifespan of a fifth-circle wizard. Perhaps she still has some lingering attachments and is unwilling to leave.

Viktor also came out at some point, and he said:

"Death is also a new beginning. To die peacefully in this era is the greatest fortune."

The Holy Infant told Mina, who had recently been promoted to the third ring, about this. Upon hearing this, Mina was overcome with grief.

"Manager, I was taken in by Grandma Mia. I want to take leave to visit her and help with her funeral arrangements."

Holy Infant Path:

"Go ahead, be careful on the road."

The deceased is gone, but life must go on, and we must look forward.

The next day.

The press conference for the "Fire Dragon's Heavenly Craft" was held, and the Holy Infant and a group of elemental spirit crafters, including "Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, and Tin," were all in attendance. Alyssandra and Ashe held up a banner, while the Holy Infant personally cut the ribbon.

Gandalf also came to participate, and he muttered to himself:

"Should I change the name of my Gandalf Pharmacy to make it sound more upscale?"

Victor said:

What name do you want to change it to?

Gandalf said:

"What do you think of Jishi Pharmacy?"

Victor complained:

"Not so good, not as catchy as the name Gandalf."

Gandalf thought about it and agreed, so he decided to give up.

His name alone is a golden brand.

After the press conference, Gandalf returned to the land of the Forsaken Gods to continue his monster hunt.

He needed to gather 50 million battle merits before reaching the seventh level of the seniority system to exchange for the Bright Moon Treasure; time was of the essence.

……

The Dark Land.

Nora Panplane.

Ika World.

This is the homeland of the Long-Armed Race, a medium-sized plane, whose world's guardian is an eighth-level powerhouse known as "God Ika".

The god Ika was high above, protecting the long-armed tribe from invasion by foreign enemies.

On this day, in a town at the foot of a mountain, wisps of smoke rose from chimneys in the early morning as residents enjoyed a rare, peaceful morning free from the taint of the black beast.

The Long-Armed Tribe, who resemble humans but have arms so long they drag on the ground, live a peaceful and secluded life.

The void suddenly split open, and a swordsman clad in black armor and carrying a giant sword silently descended.

"What a beautiful day! But alas, beautiful things are destined to perish."

The black-armored swordsman drew his greatsword and slashed at the city without hesitation. The terrifying sword light tore through the heavens and earth, cleaving the city in two. Countless long-armed tribesmen died under the sword light.

"Who dares to invade my world of Ika!"

An aura of level eight soared into the sky, and an arm seemed to traverse the void, reaching out to grab the black-armored swordsman.

The black-armored swordsman sneered:

"Why should I, the Lord of Twilight Palace, explain my actions to you? From the day I was born, I have been announcing the arrival of twilight to you weaklings."

The black-armored swordsman rose from the ground and disappeared into the void, while the giant hand that had come from across the void missed its target.

Ika, the world's highest peak.

An elderly bald man sat cross-legged in a building that resembled a temple, his long arms encircling the mountain peak, their length immeasurable.

"The Lord of Twilight Palace? Who is he? Is he a great demon from the Demon Realm?"

The bald old man had never heard of the Lord of Twilight Palace. His brows furrowed, and he sensed an impending storm brewing.

……

Over the years, similar events have been unfolding like sparks in some small and medium-sized worlds across the multiverse.

The only clue that could be found in these cases was the word "twilight," and then a terrible message began to circulate in some transdimensional "black markets."

A terrifying demon, whose origins are unknown and who was born long ago, is growing stronger through slaughter and destruction.

All for the sake of one day becoming the number one demon god in the dark lands, destroying the universe and bringing calamity to all living beings.

This demon is named:

Twilight Demon King!

It comes from the wizarding world, which plunders countless worlds, causes the extinction of countless races every day, and leaves billions of living beings homeless.

It was reincarnated as the leader of an organization called the Twilight Templars, who commanded eighteen heinous demons and tens of thousands of ruthless, vampire-like, and demonic disciples.

It wore the [Demon Armor], which was wreathed in pitch-black demonic flames. It once burned a group of unarmed alien civilians to death, causing the destruction of a small world.

In its left hand it holds the Shield of Cataclysm, a treasure said to have been obtained in exchange for the destruction of ten worlds.

In its right hand, it grips the [Sword of Calamity], a weapon that brings destruction and is used to annihilate the world. On its right hand also hangs the [Doomsday Gauntlets], a treasure of the Ironfist Clan, said to be able to wipe out half the life in a world with a snap of its fingers.

Behind it fluttered a [Bloody Cloak] forged from the blood of one hundred million living alien beings.

It wears the "Helmet of Despair," a helmet powerful enough to plunge all beings into nightmares. Anyone who has seen its face is indiscriminately trapped in an eternal nightmare from which they can never awaken.

Surrounding it are three thousand Demon King Blades, crafted from the remnants of countless worlds. These three thousand demonic blades can be combined to form an unparalleled demonic sword called the Thousand Blades.

It contains the soul of the universe's number one monster, the "Nine-Headed Dragon Godora," as well as the soul of the ruthless and cruel "Thunder Emperor" who once ruled an era.

The Twilight Demon King is the embodiment of extreme evil in the world. Even the "most evil dragon" like the "Evil Dragon Venerable" is no match for him.

Even demons and devils pale in comparison to the Twilight Demon King.

Now, the Twilight Demon has returned with a new identity, attempting to conceal his crimes.

It is called "Lord of the Ancient Dragons", "Lord of the Twilight Palace", and "Knight of the Extreme Path" by its disciples, and its name is "Li Wei".

The Demon King is now protected by those evil colonizers of the wizarding world, by those selfish wizards who don't care about the life or death of civilization.

The wizarding world is using evil magic to try to devour the planes where all races live, and everyone will perish with the Demon King and the wizarding world.

Every sentient being with a conscience in the entire universe should know that only by nipping the Twilight Demon King in the bud can this catastrophe be averted!

Defeat the Twilight Demon King!

Down with the Twilight Temple!

Defeat the Wizarding World!

……

Dark Temple.

The towering figure atop the myriad stars said:

"Remember, don't try to explain to those alien races. Just pretend to be the Twilight Demon King and go on a killing spree. There are so many people and so many races in this world, there will always be some fools who will believe you."

"We should appropriately deploy our personnel to the rescue and guide more people to become our soldiers."

"The myriad races have never been weak; they have simply lacked unity and a leader. Our Council of Myriad Races is their leader, and our principles will guide them on their path forward."

"Everything we do is for justice, and we don't need to care about the process. The rise of wizard civilization is built on the blood of countless alien races, and those so-called artifacts of truth are the best proof of that."

"Warriors of all races, go forth! We need more fearless warriors and death squads. We must not only assassinate wizarding geniuses, but also attack the civilians and schools of the wizarding world. We must cut off the source of those villains and completely wipe the Nora race from the panplane. Remember, our homeland has never been called the Sauron Panplane..."

……

Four years later.

Nora, 444.

The 230th year of the bloody battle.

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

In a valley, gold coins are piled up on the ground, creating a truly magnificent and resplendent scene.

This day.

In the sky, countless earth elemental forces condensed into the phantom of a robust, earth-yellow dragon, named the [Earth King Dragon]. It is a relatively typical and common pure-blooded dragon and the source of the bloodline of the three Earthquake Dragon brothers.

"roar!

With a roar, a giant dragon, three hundred meters long, covered in armor, and with a heavy hammer at its tail, soared into the sky and fought a fierce battle with the phantom of the Earth King Dragon.

"Big brother is about to undergo his tribulation! I'm so excited!"

"Yes, we'll be there soon too. Let's see how our eldest brother overcomes his tribulation."

In the distance, Twisted Fate and Vinster, the three brothers of the Earthquake Dragon, are watching the battle, while the eldest brother, Ganster, is undergoing his tribulation.

Sensing the changes in this place, Li Wei, who was cultivating, quietly appeared here and watched silently.

The success rate of sub-dragons in transcending tribulation is much higher than that of knights and wizards; so far, there have been no failures. For them, transcending tribulation is simply a step towards adulthood, at most a test of reaching adulthood.

Before long, Ganster successfully passed the tribulation, radiating a level six aura.

"Hahaha, I, Ganster, have also been promoted to the rank of Heavenly Dragon General! From now on, I am a dragon among dragons! Second brother, third brother, grow up quickly."

Seeing their elder brother successfully overcome the tribulation, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Weidao:

"Good, go collect your Dragon Scale Fruit and Gold."

Ganster was overjoyed and eagerly went to collect his reward.

"Thank you, Dragon King."

Seeing Ganster's promotion, Levi's brow did not relax much.

Over the years, his sense of danger has become increasingly erratic and unpredictable, with frequent and abnormal warnings. Even the Fool's Rune cannot clearly indicate this, leaving the cause unclear.

"I've been quietly practicing my spiritual cultivation at home and haven't gone anywhere. Why are so many people concerned about me? It's strange."

Unable to understand the reason, Li Wei stopped thinking about it. Anyway, as long as he kept getting stronger, these problems could all be solved.

During his years of secluded cultivation, Li Wei had also subdued the surge of spiritual power he had gained from refining the Thunder God's Drum, demonstrating a deep and solid foundation.

The Heavenly King Dragon Breathing Technique recently advanced to the mid-stage of level seven, further enhancing the abilities of [Black Annihilation Divine Thunder], [Wind Illusion Realm], and [Silver Mountain Fall]. The summoned [Spirit of Maiar] also caught up with Li Wei's level, reaching the mid-stage of level seven. The [Storm Domain]'s radius reached 15 kilometers in diameter.

Most importantly, there is the [Soaring Through the Void], whose speed has increased from 30 times to 40 times that of normal flight.

This is a timely help for Li Wei at this moment.

With the relative availability of purification potions and cherry tomatoes, coupled with the official intervention, there are no longer any black beasts to hunt in the dark lands near Nora.

It turns out that as long as it benefits the wizard, there is no enemy that cannot be eradicated.

Fortunately, with the [Roaming the Void] ability, Li Wei could leave the "newbie village" and go directly to a place far away from Nora to hunt black beasts.

In this way, half of his Six Dimensions Breathing Techniques have advanced to the mid-stage of the seventh level, and the Crimson Dragon is not far from the mid-stage. The search for the corresponding dragon race is also underway.

Li Wei's current biggest headache is the Nightmare Dragon's advancement. Given Li Wei's cultivation speed, he definitely can't count on the Infant Dragon.

Over the years, the Black Dragon Territory's subordinates have been trying to find the whereabouts of the Level 7 Nightmare Dragons, but so far, there have been no results.

The only one confirmed to be a member of the Nightmare Dragon Clan is the [Khorne Overlord], who disappeared after his great battle with the Blood Rain Overlord.

Li Wei felt that, given the nature of the Khorne Overlord's dragon race, he must have left behind some sub-dragon offspring, but he was just unaware of it yet.

Over the years, he has also collected some marksmanship techniques to verify whether the [Sky-Splitting Soldier] is really as powerful as the proficiency panel describes.

Li Wei opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei————————

Magic Lance Battle Manual: Tier 6 (Limit).

Rhinoceros Beetle Gun: Tier 6 (Limit).

Breaking Army Spear Technique: Fifth Tier (Limit).

……

However, on the proficiency panel, there were quite a few marksmanship techniques that had been mastered to perfection, totaling more than ten.

Li Wei mastered even the level six combat skills with minimal effort. As for the lower-level ones, he learned them at a glance and perfected them in one go.

"These Heavenly Soldiers are indeed powerful. If I could gather more of them, then my [Ten Ultimate Paths] would truly reach its pinnacle."

After some time, Li Wei mastered all the perfected spear techniques and created a level seven combat skill, which he named "Silver Spear Battle Manual." He then incorporated it into the "Ten Ultimate Paths," unlocking its first weapon form, which he named "Spear Ultimate Path."

The Ten Ultimate Paths and the Ten Fierce Martial Paths are listed side by side. The former is the way of using weapons, focusing on combat skills, while the latter is the way of physical transformation, focusing on changing attributes and strengthening a certain dimension.

The two can be freely combined to adapt to changes on the battlefield and create different ultimate and martial arts forms at any time. As for the weapon itself, it is not important because Li Wei has the [Wuji Dao] form, which allows him to use any organ of his body to conjure any weapon and possess the characteristics of that weapon, rather than simply changing it.

Referring to the barbarian system, Li Wei guessed that the ninth level is the peak of any combat skill. Of course, this does not mean that combat skills are no longer important after the ninth level, but rather that the basic attributes have a decisive effect on realm and strength, and techniques are just icing on the cake.

Therefore, physical cultivators, whether barbarians or knights, after reaching level nine, need to choose one of the six dimensions and step into the realm of gods if they want to reach level ten. Knights achieve physical divine transformation, while barbarians receive the "Seed of the Azure Sky" bestowed by the will of the heavens.

To use the language of some fantasy novels from my past life, after reaching level ten, all physical cultivators, regardless of their transformations, need to comprehend the so-called "Great Dao of Power" and "Great Dao of Body," thus materializing the conceptualized six-dimensional attributes.

From then on, he would continue to strive for progress along this path. Perhaps he could even break free from the shackles of his bloodline and step into a new realm, instead of constantly relying on secret medicines and magical potions to advance.

Just like Gandalf's vision of body tempering, body tempering is about imitating the operating laws of powerful beings to strengthen oneself. However, once a certain level is reached, one should no longer be bound by appearances, but rather see through the essence and forge one's own path.

……

Two years later.

In the year 446 of the Nora calendar, the 232th year of the Blood War.

Li Wei, 870 years old, is still cultivating in the Ancient Dragon Continent.

A few years ago, while browsing the War Merit Shop, he discovered two very useful and top-quality seventh-ring spells, and spent 1000 million War Merit to buy them.

They are "Wild Voice" and "Wind of Shadows".

These two spells come from the School of Spiritualism and the School of Shadows, respectively.

The former is similar to Li Wei's musical fungus, a sound wave that can stimulate wild beasts and extraordinary creatures, boosting their combat power. Extraordinary creatures within its range can receive a short-term boost. If cultivated to the limit, their overall strength can be increased by up to one-fifth, with no limit on the number of creatures.

For Li Wei, who possessed Lope and the Dragon Palace, this was practically a divine aura. He quickly cultivated it to the fourteenth level. This spell could also be used indefinitely, and it was effective even against extraordinary beings beyond Li Wei's realm.

Similarly, the "Wind of Shadows" spell, once mastered to its limit, summons a wind from the shadow plane. Any shadow creature touched by this wind will have its movement speed increased by one-third for a short period, becoming a powerful weapon on the battlefield. This spell is a must-learn for seventh-circle wizards of the Shadow School, and even more so for Li Wei. The Shadow Dragons provide an epic-level boost.

Over the years, the Fool's Rune had been giving him ominous omens about the Forsaken Continent, so he decided not to rush into demon hunting and instead focused on improving his strength, planning to wait until he had completed the seventh ring before going.

He glanced at the Demon Slayer Ranking and realized that there were practically no people who could pose a threat to his exchange for the [Shadow Emblem].

The Thunder of Annihilation's points have surpassed 2 million, but according to intelligence, he is a pure Thunder faction member and has no competitive relationship with me.

For Li Wei, all he needs to do is change the Shadow Emblem and then, if possible, exchange it for a top-ranked Sun Artifact.

So he wasn't in a hurry at all. He hadn't hunted demons for decades and was still ranked fifth on the Demon Slayer List. The speed at which the people behind him earned points was on a completely different level from his.

Baihua has made great gains in the God-Abandoned Continent during this time, having already killed several mid-level seventh-grade demons and even fought a late-level seventh-grade demon to a standstill. Her points are now approaching 25 million, and she should be able to exchange them for the Bright Moon Treasure within a hundred years.

The Burning Expeditionary Force offered a hefty bounty for Baihua's head, making the couple a target of demons. Even an eighth-level demon attempted to lure Li Wei out by capturing Baihua alive, but failed.

Because Baihua possesses the [Dragon's Protection] ring, which grants her the power to advance to the seventh ring, she can summon Li Wei to fight for her. Once the ring's power is insufficient, she returns to the Ancient Dragon Continent to "recharge" with Li Wei. Only after the power is fully restored does she happily go to hunt demons.

In this way, even if an eighth-level demon were to attack, her safety wouldn't be a major concern. Moreover, Lady Lucy took good care of Baihua, and on one occasion even personally dispatched an eighth-ring general to support her. This made Li Wei extremely grateful.

Gandalf was an extremely busy man; in addition to hunting demons, he was also assigned by the White Bankers to lead a major project.

"Amethyst Body Refining Method Research Group"

Perhaps inspired by the Spellbreakers plan provided by Livy, the Wizarding Council took a different approach, intending to reconstruct the Spellbreakers from the wizards' perspective.

Since the powerful body-refining techniques of ancient times were all created by imitating powerful beings, let's go straight to the point and imitate the Purple Crystal Clan, who call themselves the "Supreme Clan," to create the "Purple Crystal Body Refining Technique"!

This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task. Historically, there must have been wizards who tried to imitate the Amethyst Clan, but without exception, they all failed.

But things are different now.

Among body-refining wizards, there are "peerless geniuses" like Gandalf, as well as top geniuses like the "Whale-Slaying Overlord Fist" and the "Extreme Fist Overlord Wizard." Most importantly, there is support from the Wizarding Council, and there will be great wizards, or even legendary wizards, personally guiding this project.

From this perspective, the "Amethyst Body Refining Method" is not impossible.

This body-refining method does not require every wizard to be as powerful as the real Amethyst Clan. Even if a wizard has only one-third the strength of the Amethyst Clan, the number of wizards can be used to launch a "dimensional reduction attack" against the Amethyst Clan.

This project has extremely high funding, and the official team has promised that if Gandalf can develop a low-level body-refining method, he will receive a Morning Star-level body-refining artifact. A mid-level body-refining method will yield a Moon-level artifact, and in addition, he can choose one of the three existing ancient body-refining methods as a free gift. If a high-level body-refining method that directly targets the primordial spirit can be developed, it will be a Sun-level artifact.

Other key researchers will also receive substantial rewards.

The mere mention of a body-refining artifact would instantly dispel Gandalf's sleepiness.

He had only refined three Morning Star level cultivators and had already achieved a qualitative leap. Fighting across smaller realms was as easy as eating and drinking. If he could obtain the Bright Moon or even the Sun, wouldn't he be ecstatic?

After the research team was established, they obtained the previously captured Amethyst Clan test subjects from the council and began their research day and night. The Abyss Alliance also took this very seriously. They possessed the most body-refining talents and were the holy land of body-refining in the wizarding world. If they performed well in this project, they would certainly receive benefits.

The experimental data from the Destroyer of Laws project provided by Li Wei also came in handy. There were quite a few vicious alien slaves imprisoned in the various prisons of the Wizard Council, including some with powerful physical bodies.

These people will become the subjects of Parliament's experiments, and Parliament has handed over the "Lawbreakers" project to Ms. Rowling's research group.

Ms. Rowling has taken on two important projects by herself, and it seems she will be staying on the continent of Orser for a long time to conduct research.

This is a good thing for Li Wei.

The continent of Oser is only tens of thousands of miles away from the continent of Ancient Dragon.

For a legendary wizard, this is equivalent to having no distance at all.

If any level nine demon or other alien race dared to cause trouble on the Ancient Dragon Continent, Lady Rowling would naturally be aware of it. Presumably, she wouldn't stand idly by and watch them perish, after all, her Tower of Dawn has contributed quite a few insect-based and psychic wizards to work there.

The communication device beeped. After reading it, Li Wei got up and went to the Giant Beast Paradise. During his years of training in the Dark Lands, he had captured a group of black beasts and handed them over to the Giant Beast Paradise for purification.

Melina laughed:

"Lord, all the black beasts have been purified. Please take a look."

Li Wei gazed with satisfaction at the extraordinary creatures in the cages, which were mainly divided into three categories.

One type is the dragon race, totaling over thirty individuals, none of whom are particularly strong. Except for one [Fierce Scale Dragon], a mid-level sixth-tier sub-dragon, the rest are hybrid dragons, ranging in strength from third to fifth level. Furthermore, a third of them are female dragons. The number of female dragons is far too small; Li Wei has already done his best. Gathering the "Seventy-Two Earth Dragon Generals" is still a long way off, and the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Dragon Generals" seem even more distant.

Another category consists of other special fur-bearing supernatural creatures, ranging in strength from level one to level five. They are divided into male and female, with many pairs of each. There are also two level six creatures called "Red-faced Foxes," which happen to be a couple and were deliberately left behind by Li Wei.

According to Li Wei's test, the [Red-Faced Fox] possesses the bloodline factors of a [Phantom Beast], and can provide bloodline essence for the Thousand Illusion Knights' cultivation in the future. Previously, she used a level 5 fox-type extraordinary creature as a mount, and without a stable source of level 6 bloodline essence, her cultivation was always lukewarm.

Of course, his real purpose in collecting so many fur-bearing creatures was for experimentation. He wanted to further research and modify the art of talisman making, so that he could create divine talismans that would allow ordinary wizards to successfully cast spells. Currently, the divine talismans were limited to the Holy Infant and could not unleash their full potential, especially in the midst of the bloody battle, making them largely useless, which was a pity.

If one could create a divine rune system like the Supreme God of Magic, which all wizards could learn, then a fourth wizarding art could gradually evolve from the three wizarding arts.

The reason he only did this now is ultimately because the Dao of Divine Talismans is somewhat sensitive, and if it were to be revealed to the world, it would certainly be quite shocking.

With his past strength, he was completely inadequate to establish himself in the wizarding world, and was easily targeted by those with ill intentions, thus harming himself.

Things are different now; his own strength is now below that of those at the very top of the wizarding world.

Looking across the entire witch world, even including hidden forces, there are probably no more than a thousand people stronger than him.

He also had the respect of such accomplished predecessors as the Black Abyss Walker and the Frost Witch, so he no longer needed to act as timidly as before.

In that case, he can go all out and do it.

The last category of extraordinary creatures are those with special abilities or those that are very rare and precious in the wizarding world. Levi left them behind to ensure biodiversity and to satisfy his collecting obsession.

Li Weidao:

"Thank you for your hard work, Melina... By the way, how's your [Ten-Winged Heavenly Sea Dragon King] doing now?"

Melina's slightly weathered face broke into a grateful smile.

"Thanks to the Palace Master's [Twelve-Winged Black Water Centipede], my summoned beast underwent another transformation recently. It is currently dormant, and after it awakens, it may evolve into a new sub-dragon species. I am now at the limit of the fifth ring and have perfected the ninth talent. If I am lucky, after it advances, I may be able to reach the Yuanhun Wizard realm that my father has always dreamed of."

Li Wei encouraged him:

"Just do your best. The rest is fine. Is the sixth-ring breakthrough potion ready?"

Melina said:

"Yes, it's all ready. I've ordered one from Gandalf's Pharmacy."

Li Wei laughed:

"Then I'm relieved."

Watching Li Wei's departing figure, Melina couldn't help but recall the scene of her first encounter with Li Wei by the Mirror Lake on the Loess Continent.

Back then, he was just a second-ring wizard like himself, honing his skills in the mortal realm by Mirror Lake. Now, he is a seventh-ring wizard, renowned throughout the wizarding world, and a figure of great prestige. If Li Wei hadn't taken her in, she would long ago be a forgotten mound of earth in a corner.

"Alas, our encounter at Mirror Lake was the only point of intersection between me and the Palace Master. After that, he soared to great heights, and I, a wizard who considers myself a genius, am completely unable to catch up with him."

……

Six months later.

The Realm of Death.

The Tower of the Dead.

The Secret Realm of Lovi.

In the sky, boundless blood-red clouds churned and rolled like a tide.

Within it, a pair of fleshy wings, resembling those of a bat, could be seen spread out, spanning approximately five thousand meters. With a casual flap, they could unleash a bloody storm covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. From the clouds, a pig-nosed dragon head emerged, its ugly and ferocious features revealing sharp fangs that gleamed with a cold light.

"Hahaha, the century-long period has arrived! The Blood Fiend Bat Dragon has finally advanced to its complete form!"

Wizard Lowe laughed heartily, feeling utterly delighted.

Suddenly, the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon revealed a fierce look and pounced on him. However, before it could get close, it suddenly had an excruciating headache, howled in pain, and fell from the sky to the ground!

Rumble!

Smoke and dust billowed up!

"Damn hairless beast, does he really think that just because he's advanced to level eight, he can escape my control?"

A crimson chain appeared in Luo Wei's hand, engraved with crimson runes that resembled those of a vampire, unlike those of a wizard. One end of the chain was connected to the head of the Blood Fiend Bat Dragon.

"This [Dragon-Trapping Chains] is truly effective; even an eighth-level sub-dragon cannot escape it."

Suddenly.

A phantom projection flew out from the chains. It was huge, with a shoulder height of three thousand meters and a body length of nearly five thousand meters. It had four thick legs, and its whole body was covered with blood-red scales, exuding the aura of the late stage of the eighth level.

If Li Wei were here, he would probably recognize this giant beast.

Bloodscale Venerable is the ninth general of the Seventh True Ancestor under the Blood God!

Long ago, the Blood Demon Tower Master used forbidden techniques to summon a Blood Scale projection, but was killed by Li Wei without explanation. Li Wei obtained thirteen of his natal Blood Scales, which are currently being forged to create the Heavenly Star Sword Formation. This matter has become a source of pain for the Blood Scale Venerable.
