Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 496 The Witch Joins the Fray, A New Millennium, A New Ancient Dragon Continent! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Ancient Dragon Continent.

Imperial Palace.

After advancing to the eighth ring, Li Wei had more vacation time each month outside of his training.

The key is to balance work and rest.

Spiritual practice is merely a means, not an end.

Life comes first... He realized!

It's been almost thirty years since I was promoted to the eighth ring.

His daily routine mainly involves reviewing and improving upon his cultivation over the past thousand years.

He also compiled and organized his experiences of traveling in the Void Sea, exploring the Dark Land, and other explorations of various planes.

When I become truly successful in the future, I will become a figure like Sauron.

Why not publish a biography like "Li Wei's Autobiography" or "Dialogue with the Lord of the Twilight Palace"?

Over the years, he has continuously refined eight-ring meditation aids, and his pharmaceutical skills have also improved accordingly.

The same applies to the making of tools.

[Citroen Armor], [Falling Star Ring], [Purple Sacred Cauldron], [Gluttony Bag], [Purple Light Sword].

All five of these magical artifacts were upgraded to the eighth-ring level by Li Wei.

The materials he used all came from the level eight demons he hunted.

It only contains a small amount of level 8 metal.

Level 8 metals are extremely rare; even Li Wei doesn't have much of them.

Among them, the [Falling Star Ring] and the [Citroen Armor] are exquisite eighth-ring witch artifacts.

The rest are all ordinary eight-ring rings.

However, it was more than enough for Li Wei.

For him, magical artifacts were merely supplementary tools.

His foundation lies in his powerful physical body and numerous magical abilities.

After so many years of refining, Li Wei had come to categorize the materials used in crafting into different grades.

From common to top grade, they are: ordinary biological materials, conventional elemental metals, and amethyst.

Biological materials have the advantages of being abundant, renewable, and diverse, which can meet various needs.

However, the durability and fatigue resistance of the material itself are inferior to the latter two. This remains true even after special refining.

Therefore, it is best suited for refining standardized magical artifacts and mass-produced mechanical creatures.

The properties of elemental metals and other rare ores are generally superior to those of biological materials.

However, the downside is the low yield, as it is a non-renewable resource due to its long gestation process.

Near the world of Nora, the number of wizards has exploded due to the rapid development of wizarding civilization over hundreds of thousands of years.

With relentless mining, rare metal mineral resources are almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the emergence of new continents in recent years has temporarily alleviated this problem.

The best material for refining weapons is undoubtedly amethyst. Essentially, this involves using the amethyst group to further purify and react elemental and rare metals, achieving a qualitative change.

Therefore, amethyst possesses the best properties in terms of hardness, durability, and other aspects. This also significantly increases the yield of high-quality artifacts crafted from it.

The amethyst played a crucial role in enabling the Holy Infant to forge so many top-grade magical artifacts.

In recent years, the Amethyst Clan has rarely caused trouble for him and his three clones, and they rarely appear in the wizarding world.

Perhaps because they suffered heavy losses before, they are now conserving their strength.

Now that Li Wei has the strength, he wants to actively seek out and hunt down the Amethyst Clan.

So he instructed the Spider King to use his clones to conduct a thorough search across all the planes. Any clues about the Amethyst Clan were to be reported to him immediately.

Over the years, I have achieved some success.

The Spider King then found several more planes that appeared to be strongholds of the Council of All Races.

Li Wei instructed it not to alert the snake.

Once I've advanced my breathing techniques to level eight, I'll take the initiative to visit them.

In addition, as before, he chose another runeword.

Over the years, I've worked my way up to level three.

Li Wei————————

The Hanged Man Rune: Tier 3, Special Effect: Dark Monkey Constellation Power (Tier 3).

……

[Dark Monkey Constellation Power (Tier 3): Runeword connects you to the Dark Monkey Constellation, amplifying your elemental resistances by 20%.]

In Li Wei's mind, a black monkey hung upside down in the void with its eyes closed.

This is the Dark Monkey constellation.

Its function is also conventional: to enhance elemental resistance, thereby indirectly improving Li Wei's protective capabilities.

In this way...

He has mastered the eight runic words: [Power], [Chariot], [Hermit], [Lovers], [Moon], [Fool], [Magician], and [The Hanged Man].

The constellations it represents are: [Horned Ox], [Heavenly Horse], [Hidden Serpent], [Aries], [Jade Rabbit], [Blind Pig], [Spirit Rat], and [Dark Monkey], totaling eight.

Among the constellations, it should be possible to collect all twelve zodiac animals. This is quite interesting for someone with a collecting obsession.

With increased elemental resistance, the damage dealt to Livi will be reduced, whether by wizards' elemental spells or by magical abilities of supernatural beings.

One of the most important reasons for Li Wei's strong defense is that he possesses a dragon physique with several attributes.

Both the Crimson Emperor Dragon Body and the Golden Emperor Dragon Body possess strong elemental resistance.

With the current boost from the [Hanged Man Rune], it is bound to reach an extremely terrifying level in the future.

Even the invincible Amethyst Clan, known for their high magic resistance, are nothing more than inferiors in his presence.

After completing his training, Li Wei arrived in the Nightmare World.

A colossal dragon exuding a terrifying aura landed at his feet; it was none other than Khorne, the Overlord.

"Owner."

Li Wei asked:

"How is the situation in the territory lately?"

Khorne's Way:

"After expansion, the number of territories in Black Dragon Territory has increased to 36, accounting for one-fifth of the Blood Rain Realm. Expansion has been temporarily halted, and we are now focusing on utilizing our existing territorial resources and carrying out construction."

Li Weidao:

"Good, keep up the good work... Remember, from now on, you will be the official Black Dragon Lord. Try not to make any moves to avoid revealing that your cultivation level has dropped to level eight."

Khorne's Way:

"I see."

Over the years, Li Wei has remained behind the scenes. He is the de facto ruler of Black Dragon Territory, but the ruler he has put forward is "Khorne".

He himself has a shallow foundation and insufficient experience in the nightmare world, so many people regard him as an easy target and want to cause trouble for him.

Khorne, however, had long been renowned and was already the ruler of a realm.

The outside world is unaware that Khorne has fallen to the eighth level and still considers him a ninth-level powerhouse.

Now that the Blood Rain Overlord is gone, it has returned with a vengeance. Upon hearing its name, those covetous gazes have all been withdrawn.

Black Dragon Territory also gained temporary peace.

After inspecting the various territories, they also harvested a batch of medicinal herbs called "Spirit Dream Grass".

Just as he was about to log off, Triss flew hurriedly from the Wizard's Spire, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Li Wei, something terrible has happened! The Witch's House has been besieged by the demon army!"

Li Wei's expression changed slightly.

"What?"

The Witch's House is only tens of thousands of miles away from the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Danger there can easily spread to this side.

he asked:

What is the current strength of the enemy forces?

Triss said:

"There are four level eight demons, and in addition, there is a level eight early stage demon dragon mount. On the Witch's House side, there is only the Wind Witch, an eighth-ring veteran, and the Guardian Immortal Banyan Dragon. Now that the Witch's House has activated its protective array, it is uncertain how long it can hold out."

Li Wei pondered.

"With such strength, they must have come prepared. Let's go take a look."

The Witch's House isn't too far from the continent of Soren. If the official warband arrives... Livi's dragon will be snatched away by someone else!

……

The Witch's House.

The four demonic mountains formed a united front, creating an endless ocean of demonic energy within a radius of thousands of miles.

Within the demonic clouds, demons rained down on the protective barrier of the witch's house.

The Wind Witch, the Cat Witch, and the other witches who remained at the Witch's House continuously cast spells towards the sky.

Powerful innate spells and elemental spells bombarded the area in turn, each strike capable of killing numerous demons.

However, the number of demons did not decrease.

The demon's corpse drifted around the witch's house, releasing more demonic blood and energy.

Not long after the battle began, the Witch's House had already been transformed into a deep abyss.

The demons thrived even more, and their strength began to increase significantly.

Only in an environment rich in demonic energy can they unleash their true power.

Therefore, the demons' tactics have always been to first send a large number of low-level demons to their deaths as cannon fodder.

Quickly change the local environment to reduce the pressure Nora faces on herself.

Then the mid-level demons and demon lords will make their move.

The Wind Witch commanded:

"Hold on a little longer, everyone. The old witch will be back soon. The demons want to take us down with a blitzkrieg. We are outnumbered, so we must not act rashly. Hold the barrier and wait for reinforcements."

The Witch's House is, after all, a top-tier wizarding organization.

The protective array for the main camp is a top-tier eight-ring array called the "Sea and Sky Ring Barrier".

If pushed to its limit, even an attack at the eighth perfect level can withstand it for a period of time.

Of course, the consumption of Tai Shi was also astronomical.

The Cat Witch transforms into a nimble black cat, appearing like a phantom on the battlefield, taking the lives of demons one by one.

The Snow Lotus Witch, who had reached the sixth level of perfection, also performed admirably. She wore a blue treasure armor, a level seven rare item obtained through battle merits.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four towering, earth-shattering beams of demonic energy, each a mile or so thick, descended!

The four level-eight demons are the Fire Demon, the Wrathful Demon, the Benthic Fish Demon, and the Stone Demon.

The leading Flame Demon's aura was already at the late stage of level eight, with flames distorting the void around him.

Above its head, a level 8 early-stage demonic dragon hovered.

Its wingspan is nearly 10,000 meters, and it is shrouded in a pale aura of death and demonic energy.

The overwhelming deathly aura and demonic flames caused ripples to spread across the barrier.

The remaining three demons were all at the mid-level of level eight.

Such strength is beyond what a declining witch's household could match.

Even the most powerful and top-tier wizarding organizations must be careful when dealing with them.

Even for demons, it is rare to see a war operation that mobilizes such powerful forces.

It seems they are determined to take over the Witch's House, starting with the weakest part.

Through the Demon Mountain Formation, the attacks of the four level-eight demons converged.

With just one strike, the sea and sky blending into one barrier trembled violently.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon exhaled a white dragon breath that shot straight into the sky.

The demonic dragon in mid-air grinned maliciously, responding with black dragon breath, and the explosion was as dazzling as fireworks.

"Hmph, so-called pure-blooded dragon race, nothing special!"

Immortal Banyan Dragon snorted coldly:

"They're just relying on the power of the magic array; they're just using someone else's power to intimidate others!"

It's a pity I grow too slowly. If I could grow up quickly, I would definitely give this sub-dragon a good beating.

As another streak of dark, demonic light descended from the sky, the barrier trembled violently and began to crack.

Dense demonic energy seeped in, accompanied by a group of intangible [Spiritual Demons] that resembled thick fog.

These demons are similar to ghosts; they are spiritual beings that can infiltrate anywhere.

"Damn it, how did the barrier break so quickly?"

The Wind Witch, who was in charge of the overall situation, changed her expression, but then noticed a familiar figure in the corner with a strange smile.

"The Snake Witch? You...you're the traitor?"

The snake witch's clothes began to burst open, revealing her snow-white, jade-like body and breasts.

Cracks appeared on her delicate skin, and demonic energy began to leak out.

In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a Mind Flayer radiating an aura of level eight, with thousands of tentacles dancing in the wind.

"Hehehe, the taste of a witch is really good."

It refers to the literal taste.

Mind-stealing demons devour the target's brain and acquire their memories.

The snake witch had been switched at some point long ago.

boom!

Tentacles transformed into sharp swords, instantly piercing through the bodies of the witches surrounding them.

These witches withered and shriveled, becoming a human skin.

"die!"

He witnessed his former comrade die a gruesome death in an instant.

The Cat Witch launched a fierce attack, but was swatted away by the Mind Flayer's tentacles, nearly losing her life.

At the same time, the four demonic mountains completely broke through the barrier and descended upon the witch's house.

"Kill them all! Within fifteen minutes, regardless of the outcome, everyone must retreat. No lingering combat is permitted!"

"The Flame Demon Commander roared."

The earth of the witch's house cracked open, lava flowed, and it turned into a living hell.

The Witch's House has already lost today's battle.

Wendy and the Fairy Banyan Dragon flew out and stopped the Flame Demon Commander.

The remaining wizards formed a battle group to defend against the demon attacks from all sides.

"Hahaha, tremble before the great [Claw of Death - Addis]!"

The demonic dragon ripped through the sky, spewing out its dragon flames with abandon.

boom!

Suddenly, a vast aura swept through the demonic tree.

But then a phantom image of a witch appeared, expressionless.

With a flick of her finger, an invisible wave swept out and hurtled towards the Flame Demon Commander.

The Flame Demon instinctively sensed danger and tried to dodge.

However, they were restrained by the Wind Witch and the Fairy Banyan Dragon.

The next moment, the level 8 late-stage Flame Demon, who had just been so arrogant, stopped moving.

It stared in disbelief at its own body and demonic soul, both of which began to disintegrate uncontrollably...

Not only that, the space around it is also disappearing.

The Wind Witch's eyes were cold.

"This is the [Disintegration Technique] imprinted within the Demon Tree by successive witches. Your death was not unjust."

The Flame Demon Commander disappeared without a trace.

The other four level-eight demons and the dragon were also startled.

"Is this the foundation of a top-tier organization...?"

"Don't panic! This method can only be used once."

Having defeated their strongest enemy, the Wind Witch and the Fairy Banyan Dragon breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the current situation is not optimistic.

The battle had only just begun when there were already numerous casualties.

And that kind of disintegration technique can only be used once.

The Mind Flayer's tentacles flew everywhere, attacking the ordinary members.

Suddenly, its expression changed drastically, as if it sensed some danger, and it quickly retreated.

On the ground, a black-armored swordsman appeared out of thin air.

He raised his right arm, aimed it at the Mind Flayer, and murmured:

Look directly at me, and you will see destruction!

Before the Mind Flayer's eyes, it seemed as if a crimson star had appeared.

It radiated endless light and heat, crashing towards itself!

The [Destruction Mantra] will inevitably draw blood!

Rumble!

The Mind Flayer was struck as if by a heavy blow, and his body was sent flying high into the sky.

Its demonic body began to burn, its tentacles began to melt, and its internal organs were pulverized.

boom!

Like a watermelon bursting open, the Mind Flayer exploded.

Only a weakened Mind Flayer head with a demonic soul remained, attempting to escape, but was obliterated by a sword aura.

Level 8, early stage Mind Flayer, dead!

Leon appeared out of thin air and collected the mind flayer's brain.

This is its most valuable part, and it's an essential ingredient for many high-level potions.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly.

On the demon side, two level-eight demons died suddenly.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the other level-eight demons quickly rode their demonic mountains to shatter the void and retreat.

They have achieved their goal for this trip.

The Witch's House suffered heavy casualties and was severely weakened by this sneak attack.

The Twilight Palace Master instantly killed the Mind Flayer upon his appearance, a display of power that completely stunned them.

At the peak of level seven, this person killed level eight demons dozens of times.

I can't believe I've been promoted to level eight.

Without the late-stage level 8 Flame Demon Commander in charge, even if the Old Witch returns, these people will be no match for her.

Li Wei swept the Chaotic Mirror, leaving the demonic dragon behind.

Silver mountains fell from the sky, and the illusory realm of wind surrounded the dragon, trapping it.

Other demons may run, but this dragon has no chance!

Unable to escape, Addis roared fiercely and pounced on Levi.

Li Wei pointed his finger, and the Fire Dragon Calamity soared into the sky, transforming into the Flame Emperor's Sword and slashing down!

boom!

boom!

Under the barrage of powerful spells, Addis was instantly engulfed by a sea of ​​fire.

The hard dragon scales shattered, the skin tore open, and the flesh turned to charcoal.

Li Wei gripped his longsword and unleashed 108 sword beams in an instant!

All the sword lights overlapped together, tearing apart Adis's enormous dragon body.

Demonic blood ignited the azure sky, and the enormous body crashed to the ground.

The dragon's soul flew out, its expression filled with panic.

"So strong... how can it be so strong?"

It knew it was no match for the Lord of Twilight.

But it never expected that it would lose so completely.

This was an absolute massacre!

boom!

Another fiery dragon calamity erupted, igniting the soul of the demonic dragon.

Spider webs descended from the sky, taking away the soul of the demonic dragon.

Li Wei exhaled a breath of stale air and looked around.

In the short time that followed, those level-eight demons had already fled.

Only a few cannon fodder remained on the battlefield, slaughtered by his shadow legion.

The witch's house is in ruins.

Even the demon tree was burning with raging demonic flames.

A group of witches are casting a spell to extinguish it.

The demon's objective this time was very clear: to launch a surprise attack with lightning speed.

It would be best if we could take over the Witch's House; if not, we could at least inflict heavy damage.

They succeeded.

As far as the eye could see, there were many witch corpses, ranging from apprentices to spirit witches.

This made the already dire situation of the Witch's House even worse.

This blow makes it even more difficult for them to be ranked alongside other top wizarding organizations.

Five hundred years after the bloody battle, the demons' offensive became even more ferocious.

Triss stared at the mess before her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The wind witch, pale-faced, flew over after extinguishing the flames of the magic tree.

"Thank you for saving the day, Lord Twilight Palace."

If Li Wei hadn't arrived in time and scared away the demons...

The consequences that follow are unimaginable.

The Witch's House may really be destroyed.

Only a few primordial spirit witches were able to escape.

The demons went all out in this attack.

They even planted an eighth-level Mind Flayer as an undercover agent in the Witch's House to undermine the barrier's protection from within.

They were just a hair's breadth away from complete success.

Li Wei collected the dragon's corpse and said:

"You're welcome. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I'm also doing this to protect the Ancient Dragon Continent."

This time, the demon launched a lightning-fast sneak attack on the witch's house.

Next time, it might be the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Next, we must take precautions.

We cannot be complacent just because we are close to the Solon continent.

Those great wizards and legendary wizards were all extremely busy, and many of them were restrained by powerful demons.

If something really happens, they might not be able to come and help me.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

The communication device rang, and Li Wei's expression changed.

His figure stepped into the void and disappeared.

Just now, the Ancient Dragon Continent was also attacked by five level-eight demons.

Currently, Black Pheasant, Black Phoenix, Thunder Crocodile, Squidward, and Lope are fighting against their enemies.

Fortunately, before he arrived to support the Witch's House, he had arranged for these top-tier combatants to remain on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

This demon's initial intention was to attack both the Witch's House and the Ancient Dragon Continent simultaneously.

They knew that reinforcements would inevitably come to their aid.

Once I appear at the witch's house, the demons hiding there will quickly make their move.

However, the demon clearly hadn't expected that there were more than two level-eight guardians on the Ancient Dragon Continent.

When Li Wei arrived, the void crack in the sky had not yet healed.

Black Phoenix was panting, her chest heaving.

"Master, those demons have escaped."

Li Wei's expression remained calm and composed.

"I understand. Strengthen the defenses to prevent the demon from launching a surprise attack."

The demons have clearly taken this attack seriously, deploying so many level-eight experts.

With these guardians and the Tower Master's Sky Defense System, the Ancient Dragon Continent did not suffer serious damage.

However, it still caused a lot of casualties, making it the most serious one since the start of the bloody battle.

The bloody battle situation escalated.

If the previous demonic invasions were minor disturbances, this one will now inflict unimaginable pain on Nora.

Not long after, a broadcast notification from the Wizarding Council came through Li Wei's communication device.

At the same time, not only on their side, but also on the continent of Nora and many other new continents, they suffered from the demonic calamity to varying degrees.

Without any intelligence, the demon legion mobilized more than two hundred level-eight demons to launch a full-scale attack and a lightning strike.

Many regions are in need of support. Some high-ranking wizarding organizations have even been wiped out.

In particular, some new continental strongholds that are building land bridges have become the main targets of the demons.

The Wizarding Council responded swiftly, with many ninth-ringed archmages personally taking action.

The devil's military operation was so sudden and unexpected, without any warning.

Even legendary wizards skilled in divination and prophecy were caught off guard.

Fortunately, the major wizarding organizations and warbands have been fighting against demons for centuries. They also have corresponding countermeasures for such surprise attacks.

Therefore, the final casualties were not particularly exaggerated.

Apart from relatively declining organizations like the Witch's House, most top-tier wizarding organizations managed to defend themselves.

Five hundred years of bloody battles, most of which ended in victory for the wizards.

This time, the wizards lost, although the final statistics still showed that the number of demons who died far exceeded that of the wizards.

In the following days, Li Wei kept a close eye on the situation of the battle in case the demons returned.

Soon, the Wizarding Council's report arrived.

【Wind Demon Lord Pazuzu】, this powerful lord of the 645th floor of the Abyss.

They used special means to deceive everyone and suddenly joined this bloody battle.

Even many of the demons' higher-ups were unaware of his arrival.

The Wind Demon Lord, relying on his immense strength, seized the top position as the commander-in-chief of this Abyss Bloodbath.

This unexpected attack was its way of showing its power to the wizarding world.

Upon hearing this news, Li Wei felt heavy-hearted.

"The 645th floor of the Abyss... is almost close to the 666th floor that was Sauron's limit. With this kind of strength, he must be one of the top-tier beings among the ten levels. No wonder he came with such ferocity."

The battle has reached its climax. We need to grow stronger even faster now.

The good news is that with experience from this response, the parliament has gained a preliminary understanding of the commander-in-chief's methods and has also gathered intelligence.

This massive, sudden attack that swept through Nora is unlikely to happen again anytime soon. The main reason for this defeat was a lack of intelligence. The Wind Demon Lord truly lives up to his reputation as a terrifying being beyond the 600th floor.

Ultimately, it still requires sufficient hard power.

Li Wei felt heavy-hearted.

He retrieved the corpse of the demonic dragon he had previously killed.

"【Death Dragon】, a dragon of death that usually only appears in hell or the underworld, is a sub-dragon species of 【Pluto Dragon】. I didn’t expect to encounter it here in the abyss."

The Pluto Dragon, the most famous dragon of the death faction, is also known as the "Dragon of the Underworld" or the "Dragon Messenger of the Underworld".

"My Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique is nearing its limit. I'll use it as an ingredient for the Evolution Potion from now on."

He had already obtained the bloodline crystal of the [Ghost Dragon] at the auction.

Combining the two should allow the Crimson Dragon to evolve into a mythical-level breathing technique.

In addition, Li Wei also gained a total of 1.5 million battle merits, mainly from the Mind Flayer and the Demon Dragon.

"Li Wei, I'm back."

Elena arrived, looking travel-worn.

"I heard that the bloody battle has intensified recently, so I'm not leaving the Ancient Dragon Continent anymore."

Li Wei sighed.

"The upcoming battles will be even more arduous. Your cultivation level is not far from the seventh ring perfection. Keep up the good work and advance to the eighth ring as soon as possible for a more secure outcome."

Elena said:

"That's what I think too."

At this stage, she has already exchanged all the available [Water God Sequence] artifacts.

The next use of battle merits is, on the one hand, to exchange for random Sun-Day Treasures worth 5 million.

On the other hand, you can also go back and collect the Sequence artifacts of the Water King and the Sea King.

Although these strange objects were certainly not as effective as the water god's, they were better than nothing.

If she were to collect them all, with her talent, the help of these wondrous objects, and her long lifespan, she would be in a very advantageous position.

My chances of becoming a Grand Wizard are much higher now; I wouldn't say it's a sure thing, but it's practically guaranteed.

Demon battlefields are now everywhere, and you can hunt demons right at your doorstep without having to go all the way to the Forsaken Continent.

This day.

Triss and the Old Witch arrived in the Ancient Dragon Continent.

"Thank you, Lord of Twilight Palace, for your rescue, which saved many lives in the Witch's House."

The old witch spoke with sincerity.

Li Weidao:

"You're too kind, witch. The witch's house is extremely important to Elena as well. How could I stand by and watch her die?"

Elena smiled sweetly, feeling a little proud that her man possessed such strength and courage.

The old witch hesitated for a moment, then said seriously:

"Lord of Twilight Palace, I wish to lead the Witch's House to join the Ancient Dragon Continent. What are your thoughts?"

These words stirred something within both Levi and Elena.

Elena never imagined that the Witch's House would join the Ancient Dragon Continent, after all, it was a renowned top-tier organization.

It has its own arrogance and has always been about swallowing up other organizations.

Li Wei had considered it, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It seems the recent demon attacks have made the old witch anxious.

The tide of bloodshed is growing ever stronger.

The ship that is the Witch's House is becoming increasingly broken and adrift in the storm.

On the contrary, the Ancient Dragon Continent has repeatedly proven with its strength that it is already a truly top-tier organization, and one that is on the rise.

The witch's house needs to think about its future.

The Ancient Dragon Continent, being the closest, is clearly the most suitable choice.

At this point, saving face and such are no longer important.

Winter is coming, and only two words matter:

"To Live"

Triss looked at Levi, hoping that the Witch's House would be merged into the Ancient Dragon Continent.

The old witch is about to go into seclusion; she will either advance to the rank of Grand Wizard or perish.

In either case, she must leave the witch's house.

A seasoned Wind Witch with eight rings, plus a dragon, is clearly not enough to support this massive organization.

Li Weidao:

"Yes, but if you join the Ancient Dragon Continent, you must abide by the rules of our organization. No one is exempt."

The old witch said:

"I see."

Next, they discussed the detailed terms and implementation rules of the merger plan.

……

Two years later.

Nora calendar year 714, Blood War year 502.

After making ample preparations and overcoming all obstacles, the Witch's House officially released a notice.

Due to unforeseen circumstances and objective factors, to ensure the organization's continued operation and prevent the Witch's House from being discontinued, in the year 714 of the Nora Calendar, the Witch's House officially joined the Ancient Dragon Continent, becoming its subsidiary organization. The Witch's House retains its existing organizational title and high-level leadership positions. The organization's leader, the Old Witch Vivirana, officially relinquished her positions within the Witch's House, with the Lord of the Twilight Palace assuming the role of leader. All of the Witch's House's external claims, debts, and business orders were inherited by the Ancient Dragon Continent.

This announcement was made known to the high-ranking officials of the Solon Continent, who were already aware of the matter.

Other top-tier organizations, high-ranking organizations, and even the rogue wizard community were all shocked.

The Witch's House, an ancient organization with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, was actually merged into an ancient dragon continent that was less than a thousand years old.

This scene is too surreal.

Although the Ancient Dragon Continent was at its zenith, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. This situation was something no one had anticipated.

Li Wei's communication device is about to explode.

Hey buddy, is the Ancient Dragon Continent still hiring? I'm still single. —Gatling

Congratulations! —The Sword of Light

[Congratulations to the Ancient Dragon Continent on its further advancement, becoming a truly top-tier organization! —Havis]

……

Many familiar friends and relatives came to offer their congratulations. Gatling even jokingly expressed his desire to join the Ancient Dragon Continent.

For a time, the Ancient Dragon Continent stood at the forefront of controversy. Criticism and concerns began to emerge.

[The Stars Legal Daily: Today, our newspaper interviewed Florio, the former head of the Endless Sea Enforcement Department. Florio expressed some concerns about the acquisition: Top-tier wizarding organizations are the confidence and pillar of the vast majority of lower-level wizards and the public. This move has two major hidden dangers: First, the unchecked growth of some emerging organizations that have not yet been tested by history will affect the healthy organizational ecosystem and is inconsistent with the Council's anti-monopoly stance. Second, it will further diminish the credibility and authority of top-tier wizarding organizations. We suggest that the Wizarding Council consider this action carefully from a broader perspective and, if necessary, cancel the merger.]

[The Witch's Independent Daily: The Witch's House has always been renowned for its feminine charm, a sacred place for many sea-society witches. Now, with a new leader, it may lose this advantage and fade into obscurity!]

……

There are many similar comments.

Aside from the bloody battles, something new finally appeared. The wizards, who had been bored for a long time, seemed to have found an outlet for their frustration.

Those who support and oppose the merger are divided into two distinct factions, with clear public opinion.

However, the Supreme Council, which has the power to make decisions on such matters, has remained silent.

Li Wei was not worried at all.

The reason he took two years to announce the merger was that he went to solicit opinions.

He wouldn't dare make such a big decision casually.

He asked the Lord of the Abyss, the Frost Witch, and some familiar senior wizards in turn.

The old witch also sought out connections from various sources to inquire about the possibility of this matter.

The acquisition of a top-tier wizarding organization is unprecedented in history. Usually, they are disbanded or simply wiped out.

Ultimately, even the Grand Council Speaker, Eamon, amidst his busy schedule, approved the document, stating:

[This is feasible, but the details need to be handled well, and the personnel involved need to be properly resettled to avoid potential negative impacts. The Black Abyss Overlord will supervise this acquisition.]

This is the source of the Ancient Dragon Continent's confidence in annexing the Witch's House.

The top leader of the Wizarding World has agreed. What is that damned Golden Walker anyway?

And then there's the Witch Independent Daily, which always insists on maintaining the characteristics of the Witch's House, calling it a witch's holy site.

However, over the past thousand years, the number of positions available at the Witch's House has been declining year after year, and these people have not come to support the Holy Land.

To put it nicely, it's for the witch's sake; behind the scenes, it's a business deal.

Therefore, Li Wei completely ignored these comments.

He knew that the Golden Walker Florio was a member of the Letney family, and his original title was "Divine Golden Wizard".

He once served as the clan chief before being transferred to the Central Territory.

Not long ago, he was promoted to Grand Wizard, became one of the Grand Councilors, and received the title of "Golden Walker".

The Lightney family celebrated this event with great fanfare, inviting many guests to a grand banquet.

The point is to let everyone know that the Golden Lightning family has a great wizard.

Then, the banquet was attacked by demons, causing considerable casualties.

Parliament issued a direct order that during the bloody battle, no organization should hold large-scale promotion ceremonies to disrupt the order of the war of resistance.

Amidst public opinion, the Witch's House began its overall relocation.

The original base was still quite far from the Ancient Dragon Continent, making it inconvenient for the various organizations to support each other.

In addition, the previous demon invasion caused a massive amount of demonic energy pollution.

Even though Oasis No. 1 was planted, it still takes a long time to purify the soil.

The Ancient Dragon Continent is now abundant in land.

The surrounding new continents were all bought up with lavish spending, becoming satellite continents, forming a situation where they are surrounded by stars.

These new continents are all within tens of thousands of miles of the ancient dragon continent.

After Herman advanced to the seventh ring, the upgraded Sky Defense System's reconnaissance range was further enhanced.

Basically, the ancient dragon continent as the center, along with these satellite continents, can all be included in the alert range.

Therefore, if a demonic disaster occurs in any place, other places can respond quickly.

Level 8 guardians can even arrive at the scene in an instant through methods such as void travel.

All members of the New Witch's House must swear an oath using the Sword of Oath.

This is a prerequisite for joining the Ancient Dragon Continent.

In addition, Li Wei conducted a thorough investigation.

Every member, from the highest-ranking Yuanhun Wizards to ordinary people, undergoes rigorous screening.

During this process, many more demon spies were discovered, mainly the Mind Flayer and the Formless Demon, all of whom were killed.

As for how to investigate, it's very simple.

Simply add the relevant clauses to the oath.

As long as the demon's methods do not surpass the Oath Sword, this extraordinary treasure, don't even think about lying.

This is how the Ancient Dragon Continent investigated and eliminated demon spies, and it was very effective.

After making sure there are no problems.

The Witch's House itself has its own treasure trove, knowledge, and teaching system, and organizations such as the Tower of Dawn and the Temple of Twilight are gradually being integrated.

From then on, teachers and students could attend classes and listen to lectures in any organization without any barriers.

Resources and treasures from various organizations can be exchanged using universal Ancient Dragon Continent contribution points.

These points are called "Gu Long Points".

As the leader of the organization, Li Wei suddenly had access to the knowledge base of a top-tier wizarding organization, which was incredibly satisfying.

Putting everything else aside, we have no shortage of eighth-ring spells; we just need to pick and choose which ones to learn.

As for the witch's house's treasury, he didn't touch it much.

There are many good things inside, but not many are useful to someone at his level.

He left it for the organization members to redeem.

Of course, while organizational leaders bring numerous rights and benefits, they also bear corresponding obligations.

From now on, no one will be considered an ordinary person. Tens of thousands of mid- to low-level wizards, and even wizarding apprentices, throughout the Witch's House will need him as their leader to provide protection.

This is also a heavy responsibility.

That's why the old witch, who was no longer able to keep up, wanted to withdraw from it.

Li Wei also tried to persuade her to stay, but she must have already found a place to go in the Central Realm.

Or perhaps he was worried that his influence as the "old leader" in the Witch's House was too great, which might lead to a misunderstanding by Li Wei.

In short, the old witch chose to leave.

The first thing Levi did after taking over the Witch's House was to completely abolish the outdated rule of only accepting witches.

From then on, anyone with potential, regardless of gender or background, was eligible to participate in the interview.

This move initially met with considerable resistance, as the witches in this organization had developed certain habits that were difficult to accept at the moment.

But he pretended not to see it and continued to push forward like a great dictator.

Gradually, seeing that the Twilight Palace Master's mind was made up, everyone accepted the fact. Of course, many witches still expressed their support.

Firstly, they felt the Witch's House needed new vitality. Secondly, without the Twilight Lord, they would have long since become demon food during the previous demonic calamity.

I'm begging for monthly votes, subscriptions, and recommendations for this long chapter of over 10,000 words.

An extra 4000 words were added today, leaving 8000 words unfinished.
