Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

[The Unseen Secret]

It is composed of two elements: the "Secret Word of Swiftness" and the "True Word of Darkness," which is a negative energy composed of poison, blood, shadow, and death.

【Without a trace in all directions】means that the speed is so fast that there is no trace in any direction, which is beyond the range of perception.

【Ancient and Modern Unparalleled】It's even more exaggerated, with a speed that reaches a certain level.

Perhaps they can disappear from the flow of time, from ancient times to the present.

Of course, this is Li Wei's understanding. The contents of the secret words are extremely profound. Although he can use them, he dares not say that he has fully grasped their deeper meaning.

He had previously tested his skills, covering what should have been a distance of 50,000 miles in the blink of an eye, and this... didn't seem to be the limit of the [Invisible Secret Word].

Li Wei felt that if he continued to advance, his speed, enhanced by the secret incantation, might truly transcend the limitations of time and space, becoming like true light.

Currently, Li Wei has mastered three bloodline secrets.

They are the [Destruction Mantra] composed of the [Secret Word of Fighting] and the [True Word of Flame]; and the [Diamond Mantra] composed of the [Secret Word of Steel] and the [True Word of Water and Earth].

The secret of destruction is the ultimate killing, as the saying goes, "Look directly at me, and you will see destruction." The Crimson Emperor Dragon is destruction itself; to see it is to see destruction.

The Vajra Mantra, the ultimate defense: "Mountains and seas may move, but my body remains unmoved."

This is an absolute confidence; even if the attack shakes mountains and seas, I will not retreat a single step.

Now that he has gained another kind of extreme speed, Li Wei is even more eager for the next three secrets.

……

Imperial Palace.

In Li Wei's hand was a transparent, colorless medicine.

This is the [Return Elixir] used to reshape the Dark Divine Runes.

Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.

As the power of the secret medicine entered his body, Li Wei controlled and guided the 15 extremely dark divine runes that flowed into his body.

In an instant, the Dark Divine Runes collapsed into countless Divine Palace Particles, forming waves of negative energy storms within his body.

Li Wei dared not delay and immediately began to refine his divine runes. Time flies in cultivation, and eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

Nora 730, Blood War 518. Levi opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.

"The work of re-condensing the divine runes went more smoothly than I expected, and it was completed in eight years."

In general, it was just a matter of re-organizing the previous bloodline runes, so it went exceptionally smoothly.

Open the proficiency panel, which shows that there are already 22 Dark Divine Runes.

From then on, he could cultivate and condense level eight divine runes normally.

"This time, the Rejuvenation Medicine is truly miraculous. The cost of this targeted dissipation and reconstruction is nothing to those with long lifespans. It will be of great use to the development of the Knight's path in the future."

Looking back now, the recipe for the advancement potion was also given by the proficiency panel.

This thing is not just about showing proficiency.

It is constantly evolving, and the condition for this evolution is the improvement of Li Wei's own realm and level of knowledge.

"If we can develop a potion suitable for wizards based on the Returning Elixir, then Baihua might be able to turn back and rebuild the Sixth Ring Witch Mark. However, knights and wizards are completely different systems, so the difficulty is still very high. If we can develop it, its significance to the wizarding world will be no less than that of a life-extending potion."

Cases like Baihua's are certainly not isolated incidents in the Wizarding World.

Because of their short lifespans, some wizards rushed to complete the sixth ring in order to meet deadlines.

It's possible that they advanced simply by imprinting the most basic nine witch marks.

Then, by chance, they had other adventures in the seventh or eighth ring road.

Either their lifespan has been extended, or their talents have been greatly enhanced.

At this point, the opportunity to condense the sixth ring of witch marks had already been missed forever.

This return of the potion is essentially giving the wizard a chance to identify and address any shortcomings.

This would significantly increase the probability of the wizarding world producing great wizards, or even legendary wizards.

Li Wei pondered to himself.

"Triss is definitely interested in this potion. I'll go and discuss it with her."

……

The Witch's House.

Levi, Triss, and Elena sat together.

"Return potion? There's such a potion? Interesting."

Triss's eyes flickered slightly as she listened to Levi's explanation of the reversion potion.

Elena said:

"If we can really figure it out, that would be great. Our chances of becoming Grand Wizards would be much greater."

Triss said:

"Yes."

She is also a child of water element, with similar talent to Elena, and she also advanced to the seventh ring with 12 witch marks.

After reaching the seventh ring, one's strength increases, and due to battle merits, one refines many Morning Stars and even Moon Truth Treasures, which further enhances one's acquired talent. At this point, one might feel that the twelve Witch Marks at the sixth ring stage are somewhat insufficient.

Based on Li Wei's theory and the answers she received after consulting with Teacher Hei Yuan, the number of witch marks is indeed related to advancing to the level of Grand Wizard and Legendary.

With her current talent, she is actually confident that she can imprint 45 witch marks.

However, since there are only 12 6-ring witch marks, the number of these three levels of witch marks is unbalanced.

Admittedly, judging from the cases found by Baihua, there are many cases where the number of witch marks is unbalanced, or even less than 45 marks, and the candidate advances to the Grand Wizard.

But this is inherently a survivor bias. It would be much better to build a solid foundation to increase one's chances of becoming a Grand Wizard.

Therefore, she was extremely interested in this medicine.

"Li Wei, could we let Professor Hei Yuan and Ms. Lucy know about this potion? I'd like them to join our research project, just like with the previous life-extending potion. Relying solely on our knowledge, even if we could develop it, who knows when it would take?"

Li Weidao:

"Of course, we're all on the same side."

Compared to life-extending potions, reversal potions should be less difficult to obtain.

After all, there is already a knight version; it's just a matter of learning from and imitating it to develop a wizard version.

That said, both the Knight Advancement Potion and the Knight Divine Rune Restoration Potion were given by the system panel.

Why can't this panel just give me the Wizarding version of the potions all at once?

And so, the three of them initially settled on the research project of the [Witch's Mark Return Potion]. Triss was the team leader, Ms. Lucy and the Lord of the Abyss were the advisors, and Levi and Elena were the team members. They worked together to accomplish this great undertaking.

However, Triss clearly had no hope for the couple, because they needed to cultivate too many extraordinary paths, and they certainly wouldn't have much time to spend researching potions, which she was used to.

Baihua also recently advanced to the seventh-ring alchemist, but her level is far inferior to Triss's. She has mastered some seventh-ring meditation aids and breakthrough potion refining, unlike Triss, who is a professional researcher and can even create her own sequence potions.

It's not that Baihua is lazy; ultimately, it's the limitation of lifespan that limits a wizard's energy, forcing them to specialize in only one or two things while having to juggle others.

Triss's title is "The Witch of Medicine." Throughout her life, she has dedicated herself to the cause of potion making, driven by ideals and beliefs, much like the Holy Infant's passion for weapon crafting.

Now, Baihua no longer worries about her lifespan. She is also considering learning from Triss and making pharmaceuticals her hobby, and delving into it deeply.

The Witch's House Training Grounds.

Windrunner Lisa is practicing her spells. The little girl from before has grown into a graceful and elegant young woman over a decade later. Her freckles are still there, which have become her distinctive feature, giving her a unique kind of beauty.

Seeing Lisa always reminds Levi of someone from the past. He sighs with emotion; the Newts have been gone for over a hundred years. He wonders how they fared in the afterlife, whether they are doing well.

"Lord Temple Master! You've arrived!"

Lisa used magic to evaporate the sweat on her forehead, tossed her long hair aside, and smiled sweetly.

Li Wei laughed:

"Hmm, it seems that Teacher Wendy is really serious and is making great progress in her training. Keep it up!"

As a top genius, Lisa, at only thirty-something years old, is already a second-ring senior wizard. Li Wei is naturally very satisfied with this speed. If all goes well, Lisa will be able to reach the sixth-ring wizard realm before she turns three hundred, achieving the perfection of the ninth talent.

Lisa smiled and said:

"Thank you for the praise, Lord. I will work hard."

After strolling around the Witch's House with Baihua, Baihua said:

"I can really feel that the Witch's House is different now. It's like withered trees have come back to life, old trees have sprouted new buds, and everything is getting better."

Li Weidao:

"Yes, the foundation of top-tier organizations is here, and they have been injected with new vitality through the Ancient Dragon Continent."

On the arena.

Two young wizards were exchanging spells.

Just as one of the male wizards was about to win, the other witch suddenly threw out a stack of fireballs!

Rumble!

After the explosion, the protective force field around the wizard was shattered, leaving him covered in dust and bruises.

"I have lost. I did not expect your fireball talisman to be so exquisitely crafted, already at the superior level. Such power is truly enviable."

The witch chuckled.

"How about it? Want to buy it? I can sell it to you at a discount. This is a powerful tool for hunting demons."

Today, the Way of Divine Runes has developed for over twenty years on the Ancient Dragon Continent, and among young wizards, it has already achieved the status of the fourth art of wizarding.

Thanks to the divine runes, the Ancient Dragon Continent, including the Witch's House, is far more attractive than other wizarding organizations.

Even the authorities wanted to get the Divine Talisman Path from Li Wei.

It's not that Li Wei is being overly protective of his knowledge; it's just that with his abilities, he can't support the entire wizarding world to learn the Way of the Runes. He's only an eighth-circle wizard, not a legendary wizard, so how could he possibly respond to so many people's requests?

The Supreme Archmage appeared powerful, but in reality, he only needed to respond to the mages of the Norn Kingdom.

How many mages does Norn have? It's not even comparable in size to the Wizarding World.

Therefore, Li Wei declined them all, mainly because his current abilities were insufficient, and he could only cover the Ancient Dragon Continent.

This is similar to exploring the Nightmare World; right now, he can only support people from the Ancient Dragon Continent to enter.

Only when the Nightmare Lord ability reaches level 10 will it be possible to enable everyone to start exploring new areas.

……

Imperial Palace.

With the sound of hammering, the newly forged Nightmare Helmet transformed into light and landed on Li Wei's head in the furnace, the helmet emitting an eerie black glow.

"The Nightmare Helmet has been reforged, and the Mosquito Beast's carapace is quite nice."

Currently, all of Li Wei's divine weapons have been reforged using level eight materials, and some have already been upgraded to level eight divine weapons with the help of his breathing technique.

When Li Wei rebuilt the Dark Divine Runes a few years ago, the Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique had reached its limit. It was already a Mythical Breathing Technique, and the necessary advancement materials for surpassing Mythical level would definitely not be enough to gather in a short time. Therefore, Li Wei planned to continue advancing. He would first raise his basic endurance attribute to level eight.

Of the six breathing techniques, only the Nightmare Dragon is not yet a mythical creature.

Li Wei didn't plan to wait. When he reached his limit, he would advance directly. Anyway, he had the [Returning Elixir], which meant he would only need to spend some time dissipating his cultivation and starting over.

Of course, if enough evolution materials are obtained beforehand, then upgrading to Mythic level should be the priority.

Li Wei had already prepared all the necessary potions for the advanced Heavenly Dragon Breathing Technique. He then found an innocent, victimized island in the outer sea and began his seclusion.

Two years later.

In the year 732 of the Nora calendar, after 520 years of bloody war, the Celestial Dragon Breathing Technique successfully advanced to level eight, meaning yet another island has disappeared from the map.

This time, the Dark Calamity was still caused by an eighth-level demon, but this time it was a stone golem. It was easily slain by Li Wei using the Wind and Thunder Greatsword, formed from the eighth-level divine weapon [Wind and Thunder Wings], and its body material became part of the Fortress Project.

Li Wei had a sudden realization: in the darkness, an unseen hand was manipulating all living beings. The demon's attack on Li Wei, seemingly a sneak attack, was in fact part of the dark calamity.

All living beings, and even the diverse dimensions, were born from the land of darkness.

"Therefore, transcending multiple dimensions is easy, but transcending the Dark Land is difficult... Even gods, legendary wizards, and nightmare lords may only be pawns in the face of the Dark Land."

Whether the Dark Land is compassionate or heartless, Li Wei could not know.

He opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Heavenly King Dragon Breathing Technique: Tier 20 (1/20,000,000), Special Effects: Heavenly King Dragon Body - Mythical Level (Early Stage 8), Bloodline Dharma Form: Wind and Thunder Surge; Bloodline True Armor: Storm Dragon Armor; Exclusive Weapon: Wings of Wind and Thunder (Level 8), Bloodline Divine Runes: 22/66. Bloodline Mantra: Unyielding (My will is unceasing, growing ever stronger with time.)

……

In general, the changes brought about by the Heavenly King Dragon advancing to level eight are similar to those of the previous breathing techniques.

Endurance is increased, wind and thunder elemental affinity becomes excellent, and various types of spell abilities are enhanced.

The two commonly used control skills, 【Wind Illusion】 and 【Silver Mountain Fall】, as well as 【Black Annihilation Divine Thunder】 and 【Summon Maya】, have all been upgraded to the level eight standard.

The range of the storm area has been increased to 80 kilometers. Within it, Levi's endurance is like that of a "perpetual motion machine," as he seems to have no concept of fatigue.

The most powerful ability is the [Soaring Through the Void] ability, which increases the speed of flight to 50 times that of normal flight. In Li Wei Ba's environment, it would take less than a year to travel to the Scorched Rock World.

Just in time, he was planning to visit the Spider King soon, so this skill upgrade was a godsend.

Finally, it was still a secret of bloodline.

The [Secret Words of Long Time] and the [True Words of Wind and Thunder] together form the [Secret Words of Increasing Strength].

The secret saying, "My will never cease, and it grows stronger with time," has a very simple effect: it promotes perseverance.

This persistence is viewed from two dimensions.

The first is the present.

After being blessed, as long as Li Wei's will is firm and he never stops, his endurance and physical strength will have no limit and will continue to grow stronger over time.

The second is the future.

As Li Wei ages, his overall condition, vitality, and blood flow will continuously climb towards their peak, until the moment his lifespan ends, reaching the pinnacle of life.

In short, for Li Wei, even if his current realm doesn't improve and he stops cultivating, he can still become stronger as he gets older.

Of course, becoming stronger cannot replace breaking through to a higher realm. Cultivation is still necessary.

Old but still strong!

Still vigorous despite his age!

That's exactly it!

Therefore, this secret, though seemingly insignificant, is actually of great use in the long run.

If it were those long-lived, naturally powerful immortal beings, living would mean becoming stronger, and their strength would eventually expand to an unknown extent.

"Destruction, Vajra, Formless, Unbreakable... These four secret mantras each have their own characteristics and are all very powerful."

Li Wei was overjoyed.

Only Nightmare Dragon and Death Dragon have not yet broken through to level eight.

……

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

Yunmeng Marsh.

Rumble!

Dark clouds gathered, a fierce wind howled, and boundless water vapor surged in from all directions, instantly transforming into a colossal beast, resembling both a tortoise and a dragon, its majestic dragon might sweeping across the land.

"Oh my god, am I seeing things? Is Lati undergoing a tribulation?"

"Wow, it's true! Lati has risen to prominence!"

"Let's go take a look."

When the Dragon Palace members arrived at the scene, they saw a giant tortoise with a shell diameter of over two hundred meters sticking its head out of its shell and roaring to the sky above the Water Palace.

Crescent-shaped beams formed by ripples of water shot into the sky, colliding with the phantom image of a giant beast in the sky.

"Go for it, Turtle Prime Minister!"

"Don't worry, Lati has been accumulating experience for nearly a thousand years; he will surely succeed."

The battle between the two giant turtles was rather...unintense. Their movements were slow and leisurely; neither turtle seemed willing to move, simply exchanging water ripples and testing their internal strength. Ultimately, Lati prevailed, slaying her enemy.

The dragons watching the show were all getting sleepy; this was the first time they had ever seen a tribulation like this.

The eldest brother, the Black Lotus Beast Path:

"Congratulations, Prime Minister! From now on, you will be ranked among the Heavenly Dragon Generals."

These sub-dragon species were the first to be recognized and have the best relationship with them.

Charizard said smugly:

"Keep going, you still have a long way to go, unlike me, who has already achieved great success."

Sensing Lati's breakthrough, Levi's figure appeared, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Excellent. Lati, from now on you will be the [Heavenly Longevity Dragon General]."

It's worth mentioning that, for dragons and most other extraordinary creatures, their lifespan is fixed from the moment of birth. Subsequent advancements are merely growth for them and do not increase their lifespan. Therefore, Lati's remaining lifespan is still over nine thousand years.

Latti said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King!"

The Heavenly Dragon General represents the pinnacle of power in the Dragon Palace, second only to the Dragon King. Lati dislikes power, but it also values ​​its reputation; this is a day it has long awaited.

In this way, all of the first batch of sub-dragons collected by Li Wei have advanced to level six.

Of course, the organization later recruited some new members, which are not included here.

Only the little Ash Dragon is left; it shouldn't be long before it reaches level six.

That evening, Li Wei held a small ceremony for Elder Lati at the Dragon Palace. This was customary whenever a Heavenly Dragon General was born.

Currently, Black Dragon Territory is guarded by a large number of elite soldiers and generals, so all the Heavenly Dragon Generals, other extraordinary creatures, and all members of the Dragon Palace have come.

There are 27 Heavenly Dragon Generals alone, and that doesn't even include the dragons who have served in the Giant Beast Paradise for a long time, as well as other extraordinary creatures. The number of Earthly Dragon Generals has already reached 72.

You wouldn't believe it until you counted them all; the Dragon Palace is teeming with dragon talents. In terms of top-tier combat power, it's comparable to a top-tier wizarding organization.

Leviathan, Gustav, Crimson Netherbird, Nightfang, Raja, Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, Crimson Horned Fire Python and other veteran members also arrived one after another, some gathering on the shore, others circling in the sky. They are all now at the late stage of level five, at the peak of their strength, and have made little progress. They are now in a state of retirement, and apart from periodically providing some bloodline essence to the Twilight Temple, they spend most of their time eating, drinking and having fun.

Mana sat next to Levi, her light green gauze dress spread out on the grass.

The fairy banyan dragon, who looks like a young girl, is snuggled up to Mana, and they are inseparable, showing a strong sense of being a couple.

Mana's gaze was deep as she looked at the "endearing" supernatural creatures and softly said:

"How lively! I've lived for tens of thousands of years, but it's not as fulfilling as these thousand years."

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"Me too."

Mana said:

"Now that I think about it, if I were to live alone in a small, predictable world, life would be too boring. I might as well be dead."

Xianronglong nodded.

"Me too."

Mana looked at the Immortal Banyan Dragon and smiled.

"Isn't it lively living in the witch's house?"

Immortal Banyan Dragon Path:

"No, I don't usually talk to anyone except the old witch, otherwise I wouldn't be sleeping all the time. The old witch is too old-fashioned and boring, I don't like chatting with her."

In this situation, even the self-disciplined Steel Dragon Black Lotus Beast suddenly sighed:

"If it weren't for Lord Dragon King, I might already be dead, and I wouldn't even have the chance to meet everyone."

The Vampire Dragon said:

"If I hadn't joined the Dragon Palace, I might still be in the Dharma King's blood pool, living a muddled and aimless life."

After saying that, the vampire dragon thought about it again and realized that it might not be so bad...

The dragons chatted amongst themselves, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future.

In high spirits, Li Wei picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"There's plenty of Sendai sake today, everyone drink to your heart's content!"

The Ancient Banyan Wonderland is not only a paradise for the dragons, but also Livy's second world.

Here, you don't need to worry about anything else; just focus on having fun.

Unfortunately, the cultivation is not yet complete and further efforts are needed.

After the celebration, everyone dispersed.

Li Wei retrieved some spells from the Witch's House's knowledge base and began to learn them.

Just like with his previous sixth and seventh ring spells, he still chose to take a path that accommodates multiple factions for his eighth ring spells.

Currently, I have mastered four types: "Thousand Thunder", "Eight Directions Blazing Sun", "Mini Disintegration Technique", and "Theonado's Sound Barrier".

The first three have already reached the eighteenth level, only lacking the limit. The last one was only recently mastered and is currently only at the fifteenth level, the sixth ring level.

The Witch's House Knowledge Base.

There are hundreds of eighth-ring spells alone, and even ninth-ring spells exist.

This is the foundation of a top-tier wizarding organization.

The knowledge databases of the Witch's House and the Tower of Dawn are now interconnected.

Members of the Ancient Dragon Continent who have enough Ancient Dragon Points can redeem them.

Li Wei selected three spells: "Armor of the Sea God," "Sea Change," and "Sea Delta."

These are all carefully selected, excellent or even top-tier spells, and have considerable learning value.

The Armor of the Sea God.

This technique requires the open sea. At its peak, it can condense billions of tons of seawater within a radius of three hundred miles into a highly compressed, extremely defensive suit of armor: the Sea God's Armor.

The Poseidon Armor can withstand any attack that is not at level nine for a short time, regardless of whether you are a seasoned eighth-ring cultivator or a perfect eighth-ring cultivator. Unless you are at level nine, you cannot break through its defense instantly.

According to the assessment of a certain great wizard.

Among the tens of thousands of eighth-ring spells from all factions throughout history, the "Armor of the Sea God" ranks among the top ten in defensive power, making it a top-tier spell.

There is even a case where an ancient wizarding leader with eight perfected rings successfully saved his life in front of a level nine alien race by relying on the perfected "Armor of the Sea God," which was a demigod-level powerhouse.

This spell is a must-learn!

This will become an important defensive measure for Li Wei when facing powerful enemies.

"Changing Seas and Changing Lands" is not a combat spell; its main function is "reclaiming land from the sea".

This spell is somewhat special; it's a dual-school spell of ocean and land magic, making it extremely rare. It can only be cast once per day. Once cast, it causes the continental shelf of a continent to extend a certain distance into the ocean.

The length of this distance depends on the caster's cultivation level, proficiency in the spell, and the size of the continent itself.

If it were a miniature landmass like an island, its area could be doubled instantly. But if it were a place like the Ancient Dragon Continent, it would probably only extend outwards by a few hundred meters.

Li Wei learned this magic mainly because he found it interesting.

Moreover, even after reaching the legendary level, this spell can still be used. At that time, perhaps a single casting could double the size of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

For wizards, reclaiming land from the sea is not a difficult task. The simplest and most direct method is to use magic to move mountains and islands over.

But it's still not as convenient as "The Changing World." You can cast spells simply by sitting at home and pointing your finger at the ground.

"Once I master this spell, I wonder if I can connect the Ancient Dragon Continent with the satellite continent."

The final spell, "Sea Delta," is a combination of ocean and spatial magic. Once cast, it plunges a region of the sea into spatial chaos for a period of time. This can be used to trap enemies or achieve other effects.

Ordinary control spells can only control one target at most.

When this magic is cultivated to its peak, it can trap all targets within a 300-mile radius of the sea in the "Devil's Triangle," making them unable to escape.

These three spells are what Li Wei is currently learning.

We'll learn the rest later.

In this way, Li Wei continued to stay in the Ancient Dragon Continent, crafting wizard towers and giant dragon corpse demons, and practicing magic.

The first task of daily training is to use his "Midas Touch" to expand the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Now that the bloodbath is becoming increasingly dangerous, his goal is not just to hunt down level eight demons, but to gain the ability to protect himself before facing level nine enemies.

The Wizard Tower and the Dragon Corpse Demon are undoubtedly key elements for overcoming the odds.

……

time flies.

Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Nora in 740, the Battle of 528.

During their seclusion, Levi, Triss, and Elena attended the once-in-a-century Bloodbath Auction.

There were many good items at this auction; dozens of eighth-ring wizards attended. Even my old friend, the Thunder of Annihilation, was there.

After a fierce competition.

Li Wei spent 12 billion Tai Shi to obtain the Morning Star-level artifact, [Breath of Thor]. This greatly shocked the other eighth-ring wizards with their immense wealth.

Although they were highly skilled, they still had to think carefully before spending so much money to acquire a rare item called Morning Star.

Li Wei was also helpless. The current Battle Merit Shop did not have [Breath of Thor].

I've never seen anything like it at any auction or gathering in all these years.

We couldn't find it anywhere in the Three Realms and Four Lands. Now, even if it's expensive, we have to acquire it.

According to his research, after refining this wondrous item, only one unknown Sun-shaped wondrous item remained in the Thor sequence.

【Eye of Thor】, 【Foot of Thor】, 【Finger of Thor】, 【Breath of Thor】, 【Heart of Thor】, 【Drum of Thor】.

Four morning stars and two bright moons make up half of the Thor's array. As for the final wondrous object, the Sun, Li Wei had no idea what it was. It wasn't recorded in the encyclopedia of wondrous objects.

However, if he were to encounter it, given his extensive experience refining Thunder God Sequence artifacts, he would surely recognize it at a glance.

Thor's Breath increased my mental strength by a paltry 50 points.

Then, the strength of the companion spirit Si Lei and the projection of the Thunder God was enhanced.

In addition, with the improvement of Thor's body and Li Wei's realm.

The power of the [Thunder Net] has expanded further, and Li Wei's range of thunder perception has become 10,000 kilometers in diameter, or 20,000 li in radius.

Even in a tiny place like the Ancient Dragon Continent, none of the organizations operating there could escape Li Wei's perception.

Of course, he wouldn't bother to sense or spy on everyone's privacy unless there was something wrong with him.

However, if a powerful demon invades that is beyond the scope of each organization's response, and he is not in seclusion to cultivate, he can directly "strike with a single thought".

In addition, he spent 52 billion patacas to acquire many rare metals that appeared at the auction.

Among the level eight metals alone, there are three types: [Star Pattern True Steel], [Flame Dragon Holy Iron], and [Extreme Ice Cold Iron].

For level 7 and level 6, there's no need to say more, just buy them.

Metals are always hard currency; you can't go wrong buying them.

These materials, used as auxiliary materials for crafting Wizard Towers and Dragon Corpse Demons, can significantly improve their quality.

These two items alone cost 64 billion NT dollars.

Other sixth- and seventh-ring wizards could only describe Li Wei's behavior as breathtaking.

Even the eighth-ring wizards couldn't understand it. Many of them were leaders of high-ranking or even elementary-ranking top wizarding organizations, yet they couldn't come up with so much cash.

This Twilight Palace Master is truly a nouveau riche; where did he get so much cash?

They never imagined this.

The world-renowned Fire Dragon Craft, Gandalf's Apothecary, and the Tower of Dawn were all Livy's properties.

The former two sell magical artifacts and potions, while the latter charges tuition fees to teach knowledge of secret swords and magic arrays.

Li Wei's money also comes from the businesses he owns.

Making money by relying on dark wizards is a thing of the past. Where would Li Wei find dark wizards to kill these days? That's something that only exists in times of peace.

After some time, once the Dragon Grass is cultivated, Gandalf's Apothecary will be able to produce Seven-Ring Balrog Elixir in small batches.

At that time, the pharmacy's revenue should continue to surge for some time.

Until the market for seven-ring drugs is nearly saturated and returns to normal levels.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Wei's original idea of ​​making a fortune by splitting himself into three has already come true.

In fact, Li Wei still had billions in cash on him. However, since the remaining items weren't necessities, he decided to take what he could and didn't want to compete with the other Yuanhun Wizards.

Even though I'm rich now, I still need to keep a low profile.

At the free trade fair following the auction, Li Wei also spent 2 million Tai Shi to auction off a [Ring of the Flame King] for the Holy Infant.

This is the final Sky-level artifact in the Flame King's sequence. After the Holy Infant fully refines it, the accompanying spiritual object, [Flame King's Mobile Furnace], is upgraded to its complete form. This further reduces the Holy Infant's refining time and slightly increases refining efficiency.

From the very beginning of the collection to the present, more than 700 years have passed, and the series of rare artifacts, namely the [Flame King] and the [Frost King], have finally been completed.

For someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, this is perfect. They can now focus entirely on collecting the [Winter Emperor] and [Red Dragon] sequences. As for the higher-level [Fire God] and [Frost God] sequences, they can take their time.

It's unrealistic to collect such a god-level sequence in a short time.

Elena acquired a rare celestial artifact from the Water King sequence for 1.6 million taels of silver; its name is the "Water King's Robe."

She had previously refined the Morning Star-level [Water King's Scepter] that Li Wei brought from the Ancient Tower.

With her wealth, she could easily collect any Water King Sequence artifacts she could find.

Other wizards simply don't have the strength to compete.

Many of the veteran seventh or eighth-ring wizards who are capable of competing with him have also refined the Water King artifact.

Her level-seven rare treasure, [Struggle of a Trapped Beast], had long been repaired, but it was still struggling to cope with increasingly powerful enemies.

She left this treasure on the Ancient Dragon Continent, and then spent 16 billion Tai Shi at this auction to acquire a broken seven-ring wizard tower remnant, which she called the [Coral Tower].

This wizard tower was originally an heirloom of the leader of the high-ranking wizard organization, the Coral Tower.

In the blitzkrieg by the Wind Demon Lord that attacked Nora, this organization was completely crushed by the demons, and its leader was killed.

The Wizard's Tower, having fallen into the hands of the common people, was acquired by a mysterious figure and put up for auction at the Bloodbath Tower. Of course, this mysterious figure is most likely an official of the Wizard Council... Many of the legacies of organizations that perished in the demonic calamity were actually confiscated by the government.

However, this is understandable. Wizarding wars require massive amounts of teratogens for support, especially in such bloody wars that have lasted for thousands of years.

Regardless, Baihua made a huge profit from this. After returning from the auction, she immediately began to study the Wizard Tower in seclusion.

She plans to disassemble the parts of the Coral Tower, reforge them, and install them onto her Summer Flower Tower to accelerate the forging of the Wizard Tower.

Once the seven-story Summer Flower Tower is fully completed, she will be able to easily suppress and seal off enemies without needing to resort to the "Struggle of a Trapped Beast." After all, the Wizard Tower is an all-around magical artifact.

With a tower in hand, I have the world at my command.

Triss, on the other hand, acquired the "Sea Power Codex," a rare and precious artifact, at the auction.

Although this artifact is a non-sequence artifact, it is quite well-known within the Ocean faction.

After refining, it can master a wide range of comprehension abilities that can only be comprehended by low-level divine sequence artifacts such as the [Thunder Net] and [Call of the Sea], making it a substitute for water god sequence artifacts.

It is a top-tier artifact of the Bright Moon level, comparable to the [Proof of Ganesha]. Its value even surpasses that of artifacts of the same quality.

Triss has not yet collected any Water God Sequence artifacts, so she is determined to obtain this one.

But other seventh and eighth-ring wizards shared the same idea. At the time of the auction, she had 28 billion in cash, which wasn't enough.

Li Wei and Baihua gave her 12 billion, spending a staggering 40 billion to acquire this rare item; it was no easy feat.

After the auction, Triss told Levi to wait a while, and that she would pay him back as soon as she had the money.

Li Wei refused, but Triss insisted on giving it to him, and he couldn't do anything about it. Although the lady was not as strong as him now, she still had her pride.

Triss refined the artifact, increasing her mental strength by 200 points and gaining the ability called "Eye of Ocean Power." This ability allows her to perceive any subtle changes within a radius of five thousand miles through ocean currents and to scout enemies from the perspective of sea monsters.

Unfortunately, this wondrous object of the bright moon did not give birth to any special talents.

Otherwise, Triss's training speed could have improved even further.

Of course, the good news is...

Triss has given birth to yet another companion spirit...

This made Elena quite envious. She had refined quite a few rare items, including the [Sky Ray] and the [Amber Dragon], but in terms of the success rate of obtaining companion spirit items, she was not as good as Triss.

Triss's new companion spirit is an old man with a dignified face, wearing a triple crown and a blue robe, holding a papal scepter in his right hand and a doctrinal scripture in his left, similar to the pope's attire in the era of the seven mortal gods.

Its abilities are quite wondrous; it can summon the power of a [Projection of the Sea God] from an unknown dimension, possessing incredible abilities. Of course, this Projection of the Sea God is not the [Sea God] of the sea race.

This companion spirit was referred to by Triss as the "High Priest".

Along with her Blue Knight, Black Queen, and Sea Emperor, they belong to what she jokingly calls her "chess sequence".

With her seventh-ring perfect cultivation, an eighth-level demonic dragon whip, three companion spirit artifacts, and the projection of the Black Queen, Triss already possesses the ability to contend with an eighth-ring wizard. She's not much inferior to those renowned supernovas. However, she dislikes fighting, and in this age of war, her fame remains unnoticed.

The once-in-a-century bloodbath auction has become one of the important ways for people like Li Wei, who have the power of money, to enhance their strength.

Two years later.

Nora, 742.

A bloody battle that lasted 530 years.

Nightmare World, Lost Domain.

In the desolate wilderness, deep within the Blood and Flesh Mother Forest, the corpse of a Nightmare Lord, ugly in appearance and shaped like a giant tadpole, lay on the ground. It exuded the strength of a level six demon, yet its death was gruesome.

A burly figure clad in black armor shrouded in demonic flames was using a black shield in his left hand to slice through the monster's flesh, while his right hand used the World-Destroying Flame Sword to lift it up and put it into his mouth to consume.

It was surrounded by three thousand sinister black blades, its scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind, and its face was obscured beneath its menacing black dragon helmet.

It didn't know where it came from, nor where it was going; it seemed as if something was missing from its heart.

Slaughter! Only slaughter can satisfy its inner emptiness.

It only knows that its name is:

Twilight Demon King!

An unknown amount of time passed, and only a skeleton remained on the spot. The armored swordsman gazed at the vast, distant world before his figure vanished. With such a monster present, who knows what kind of bloodshed and carnage awaited in this Lost Realm.

I've finished making up for the missed chapters. Here's a long chapter of 10,000 words. I'll update it first and then correct any typos.
