Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 507 Encountering an Old Friend in a Foreign Land, the Eighteen Levels of Hell Plan! (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The woman in purple robes felt a little smug when she saw that Li Wei's usually impassive expression had finally softened.

She originally did not want to reveal her mother's identity as a goddess.

However, the wizard was unmoved, and she couldn't think of any other tricks besides this one.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tiffana, and I'm the thirteenth child in my family. You can call me 'Little Thirteen' if you like."

Li Wei pondered.

This deity is quite prolific.

He sat down in front of Tiffana, sheathed his longsword beside him, took out a cup of wine, and began to drink it by himself.

The aroma was so enticing that Tiffana couldn't help but swallow hard. She asked:

What's your name?

Li Wei: "I won't tell you."

Tiffana's expression changed slightly: "But I just told you."

Li Wei: "I didn't ask you. Your mother is a goddess of magic, so you should have quite a few life-saving treasures, right? With your seventh-ring cultivation, returning to the Gray Eagle World should be a piece of cake, shouldn't it?"

Tiffana said:

"In fact, no. My mother hardly cared about my siblings and me. I've been wandering around for decades, and no one has come to rescue me. I've used all my own survival skills in various dangerous situations."

Li Wei frowned.

"Don't you have any way to contact Grayhawk World?"

Tiffana took out a quill pen.

"This is a communication tool called the 'Echoing Brush,' made from the feathers of a male Heron. Although it allows for cross-dimensional communication, it becomes ineffective over long distances. At my level seven strength, the distance from here to the Gray Eagle World would likely be a thousand years..."

Li Wei took the quill pen and pondered to himself.

"This thing is not bad. Although it is not as good as the Twilight Round Table, it is still very convenient for my subordinates to communicate across worlds near Nora."

He returned the quill to Tiffana.

Where can one find these lovebirds?

Tiffana was clearly surprised that Levi would be interested in such a thing, and her face lit up with joy.

"This thing can only be found in my mother's extraordinary botanical and zoological garden. It is a romantic level 5 bird. Once the male and female of the lovebirds are together, they will stay together for life. They rely on the feathers on their heads to sense each other, locate each other, and communicate."

Even if we're far apart, in different worlds, as long as the distance isn't too great, we can all find our other half. Our Gray Eagle magic system has a spell called "Heron Feathers," which mimics the communication spells created by them. If you want, I can ask my mother to give you a pair of Heron Feathers when I return home.”

Even though Li Wei was a man of great knowledge, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a wondrous bird.

"Here's what we'll do. You stay here for now. Once I'm done with my business, I can take you back to the Wizarding World. As for going to Greyhawk World, you'll have to figure that out yourself. Also, to be on the safe side, you'll need to swear an oath under my sword, guaranteeing that what you say is absolutely true."

The unfamiliar world is too dangerous to explore.

Tifana: "Okay, I'll figure it out myself back in the wizarding world. Thanks! Now, how should I give you the [Heron of Unity]?"

Li Wei: "Just leave it with you for now."

Tiffana expressed her gratitude repeatedly.

Through the Sword of Oath, Li Wei can be certain that what the woman said is true.

Her mother and the Blue Sage were indeed friends, so his saving her could be considered a way of forming a good relationship.

The Blue Sage's character is absolutely guaranteed.

In his opinion, Ms. Aurora is worth befriending. Once Levi's strength has improved further, he might consider paying her a visit.

Levi left Blood Vortex Venerable and Tiffana in the Black Swamp World and went on his way to his next destination.

Tiffana looked at the large leech with slight nervousness.

It was fierce just moments before, but now it's quiet and even kind of cute.

Blood Vortex Venerable turned his head:

"What are you looking at?"

Tifana quickly shook her head.

"No...it's nothing."

……

Three years later.

Nora year 814.

A bloody battle that lasted 603 years.

Li Wei drifted in the boundless deep sky.

Having the ability to roam the vast universe, he can truly go anywhere in the world, it just depends on whether he wants to go or not.

Following the Spider King's clues, he destroyed several insignificant small strongholds.

The strongest beings inside are only some level seven alien races.

Before they could even see who the enemy was, they were instantly killed by the lightning pillars created by Li Wei's [Thunder Net] ability.

The final result was just so-so.

One grade 7 amethyst, three grade 6 amethysts, and more than ten grade 5 amethysts.

Even a mosquito bite is still meat. Amethyst of level six or higher is a good material for building wizard towers or star fortresses.

Because his actions were covert and swift, the Council of All Races had no idea who was behind it, let alone how to investigate.

Today, he is going to check out the last stronghold, where an eighth-level Amethyst Clan member is stationed.

As we passed through a meteorite field, there seemed to be a flash of light in the darkness.

"Is someone fighting?"

Li Wei concealed himself and crept over quietly.

……

"Baghdad the Liberator, you've really made us search high and low. We've provided you with such a good home, but instead of cherishing it, you've chosen to seek your own death."

A Void Spirit, radiating a seven-colored light, emerged from the void, its magnificent Void Blade shooting towards the burly man before it.

The burly man exuded the aura of a late-stage level six cultivator, and faintly, an indescribable phantom of an emperor appeared behind him.

"You deceived us sea creatures, causing our families to be destroyed and us to leave our ancestral land! You used us as your experimental subjects, and you still have the nerve to say it was for our sake?"

The Void Spirits before him were at the seventh level of strength, and Baghdad was no match for them. He could only barely hold on by relying on the power of the Sea Emperor within his awakened bloodline.

"Hmph! It was the sorcerers who caused the destruction of your sea tribe, not us."

"Pah! None of you are good people."

Baghdad was filled with murderous intent, and a sturgeon phantom stretching for a thousand meters appeared behind him, riding the wind and waves, shining with blue light waves in the darkness.

boom!

"You do have some skills, but it's all in vain. Surrender. I don't want to kill you. Don't force me to take the plunge."

The moment the Void Spirit finished speaking, a sudden explosion occurred as a pillar of purple lightning struck down, obliterating him completely.

A seven-colored pearl floated in the void.

Another spirit flew out in a panic, only to crash into a spider web in the darkness.

Lyon, who was already at the peak of level seven, put away his true spirit. He planned to burn these onto a disc to investigate the secrets and clues of the Council of Ten Thousand Races.

That said, Lyon is almost at level eight again without even realizing it.

Along the way, Li Wei had seen countless geniuses, but the only one who could barely keep up with his level of cultivation was this little bug, Leon.

Baghdad's expression changed. Such a powerful level seven Void Spirit was annihilated by a single pillar of lightning?

Could it be that he has committed many evil deeds and is being punished by heaven?

"Baghdad, it's been a long time."

Ripples spread across the void, and Li Wei's figure appeared.

Baghdad's expression was complicated; he clearly hadn't expected to run into Levi here.

For hundreds of years, the master has remained unchanged in his black-armored swordsman attire; it's so simple!

His strength was earth-shattering, silently annihilating a level seven enemy, leaving Baghdad feeling as if it were a dream.

"Owner!"

When master and servant meet, especially in a foreign land, the emotions are hard to describe.

The other sea creatures on the ship stared blankly at Baghdad, clearly not understanding what was going on.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first."

Li Wei inspected all the sea creatures.

It was discovered that some sea creatures had been marked with tracking symbols.

He immediately erased them and then made the sea creatures swear an oath on the Sword of Oath.

Finally, he was taken into the Black Soul Demon Tower, and further plans were made.

Baghdad was still shaken. No wonder the enemy was able to track him down; they had a hidden hand.

Even after all these years, and despite growing to this extent, the owner is still so attentive.

The original owner is confirmed.

……

Dark Souls Tower.

Baghdad spent most of the day briefly recounting his experiences over the years to Li Wei.

Li Wei asked:

What are your plans for the future?

Baghdad Road:

"Master, I want to return to the Wizarding World, but I know it's hard for the sea creatures to turn back. After all, it's a fact that our previous leader colluded with the Council of All Races... even though most ordinary sea creatures still don't know what happened."

Li Weidao:

"Returning to the wizarding world is indeed troublesome, but it's not impossible. I can communicate with the higher-ups of the Wizarding Council. In this era of bloodshed, things are different from the past."

When the sea creatures evacuated Nora, many remained because they weren't part of their tribes. These sea creatures were simply placed under surveillance; the Wizard Council didn't exterminate them or impose any collective punishment.

The council leaders also knew that ordinary sea creatures were just pawns, at the mercy of others.

The sea race is an excellent race, as evidenced by the fact that it can produce a ninth-level sea god and so many powerful emperors.

Especially for body-refining wizards, the sea race bloodline is the easiest to obtain and most suitable for body refining, offering both quality and affordability. Now that the Body Refining Academy has been established, it needs more mixed-blood sea race wizard talents.

All these factors combined make it easy to preserve this sea creature.

Baghdad fell silent for a moment.

"Master, please take us back to Nora."

"Can."

Li Wei planned to return to the Wizarding World and directly request permission from the Abyss Overlord to leave these sea creatures behind.

If it could be placed on the Ancient Dragon Continent, that would be the best.

Logically, this matter should fall under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

However, he had a grudge against the golden-haired traveler.

Although Li Wei was not afraid of him, he did not want to deal with this person too much, as it would be a waste of time.

……

The world of Florence.

"What's going on? We've lost several outposts already. Have you found the culprit yet?"

A three-meter-tall member of the Amethyst Clan, whose entire body emitted a purple glow, looked displeased.

"Venerable Luoshan, not yet... The killer is too strong, possibly a level nine expert. When we arrived, the scene was already scorched earth. Even with the treasure that could rewind the scene, we couldn't find anything. All we saw was a world-destroying purple lightning pillar descending from the sky."

"How can there be a level nine?"

"I don't know. It's possible that the wizards sent powerful individuals to retaliate against us, or it could be powerful individuals from other alien races that we've offended. Your Excellency, we should report this to the higher-ups. The enemy's strength is beyond our capabilities. I'm worried that the killer has already located the strongholds in this area, and even we might be attacked."

"You think I can't beat that murderer? If you want to run, then get lost."

"I had no such intention. The Amethyst Clan is the most powerful clan."

Venerable Luoshan was filled with murderous intent.

It hates those guys who hide their heads and tails and dare not fight fair and square.

"Report! The envoy of the Void Spirit Clan has fallen. Its last message was that it had found the whereabouts of the group of escaped sea creatures."

A member of an alien race rushed in, and now all the members of the Council of Ten Thousand Races in the area under the jurisdiction of Venerable Luoshan were filled with dread. A ghost wielding thunder was lurking, silently taking away everyone's lives.

Venerable Luoshan stood up abruptly.

"Those sea creatures ran away again?!"

"Your Excellency, this matter must be related to the murderer who caused chaos in the Buddha Realm during this period."

A realm generally refers to a cluster of adjacent planes, ranging in number from a dozen to hundreds. They are typically centered around a larger medium-sized or large world. This is a term used by the Council of All Races or some other races to facilitate the management of their subordinate forces.

The realm where Luoshan is located is the "Buddha Realm," centered around the Buddha World. It is the governing body of this area, responsible for all matters, large and small, and all messengers and travelers within the realm must obey its commands.

The Wizarding Council doesn't have the concept of boundaries; the entire world is the Sauron Panplane.

"Broadcast this matter to the organization's public channel. If we have any 'Hidden Ones' in the Flora Realm, they can also investigate this matter. In addition, conduct a thorough self-examination of all bases. There must be someone who has been parasitized or controlled by special means and leaked our whereabouts."

Venerable Luoshan was somewhat flustered.

The enemy appears to have come prepared, and now it can only wait passively.

Boom! A purple lightning bolt, capable of destroying everything, fell from the sky, reaching the heavens and the earth, instantly engulfing Mount Luo.

Stab it!

From within the purple sea of ​​lightning, Luo Shan's slightly disheveled figure suddenly flew out, its gaze sweeping in all directions.

As a level eight early-stage Amethyst Clan member, it possessed unparalleled defense and strong elemental resistance, so it was naturally unharmed, suffering only minor superficial injuries. However, many of the other alien races within the stronghold were instantly killed or wounded.

"Where did this coward come from, hiding like a rat? If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

Luo Shan roared, its fists flying in all directions like phantoms, indiscriminately attacking friend or foe.

Bang! A fist tore through the void, revealing the figure of the black-armored swordsman.

He looked calm, holding the greatsword in one hand and carrying it on his shoulder.

Luo Shan's expression changed.

"The Lord of Twilight Palace!"

These four words were legendary among most of the Venerable Ones of the Myriad Races Council, for this person's reputation was simply too great.

"So it was you! Die!"

Luoshan was enveloped in purple light, and with a wave of its hand, it tore open a piece of the earth's crust covering hundreds of miles, and smashed it towards Li Wei like a brick, with utter ruthlessness!

Li Wei casually slashed with his sword, shattering the earth's crust.

"It's the Lord of Twilight Palace! Run!"

"Run!"

When the members of the Council of Ten Thousand Races on the ground saw that it was Li Wei, most of them, except for a few honey badger-like Amethyst Clan members, wanted to run away.

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei summoned tens of thousands of Shadow Dragons, who transformed into streaks of light and joined the battlefield.

The Nine-Colored Emperor appeared out of nowhere, chanting incantations. The Shadow Wind and Theonado's Sound Barrier made the Shadow Legion even more formidable.

But outside of the Florian world.

Lope, Red King, Black Phoenix, and Blood Fiend Bat Dragon, the four great generals, had already sealed off the surrounding area, and an overwhelming army of undead filled the area.

This time, blood flowed like a river.

The battle between Livy and Los Angeles ranged from the mountains to the sky and then to the sea, moving mountains and filling seas wherever it went, making them veritable terrain destroyers.

Ultimately, under Li Wei's deliberate guidance, the two fought their way to the Dark Land.

One advantage of fighting the Amethyst Clan is that they never consider running away.

Luo Shan swelled into a purple giant a thousand meters tall, its surging purple energy enough to shatter the surrounding void and create chaotic space.

Li Wei needed a member of the Amethyst Clan to test his hexagonal physical body panel, so he did not use any magic or a powerful move like the [Secret Word].

Half a day later, apart from Luo Shan, all the other members of this stronghold had been killed or captured by the Shadow Dragon Clan. Luo Shan, panting heavily and trembling, stared at the unchanging Twilight Palace Master.

Strength, defense, constitution, speed, stamina, and perception—a comprehensive suppression of attributes.

It is unbeatable by relying on simple and unadorned fighting techniques.

So far, the opponent, being a wizard, hasn't even used any spells.

Even the shaman was merely observing from the sidelines. This demonstrates absolute confidence in their own strength!

For the Luoshan people, who consider themselves the most powerful race, this is a great insult.

Even with my full power, I couldn't even get the other person to take me seriously.

Lope and Black Phoenix, who were watching from the sidelines, felt a pang of pity for Luo Shan for some reason.

It fought really hard, and even though it knew it was going to lose, it didn't back down.

Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain against Li Wei. The speed at which the injuries were inflicted was not even as fast as Li Wei's own healing.

Luo Shan's fighting spirit grew stronger, and the violent purple energy rolled in all directions, causing even the black phoenix in the distance to lose its footing.

Li Wei was like a sharp blade, suddenly thrusting forward!

Luo Shan's body began to burn, and his aura continued to rise, almost reaching the mid-stage of the eighth level.

Clearly, it is elevating itself.

"Holy Spirit Technique: Nine-Headed Evil Phoenix!"

Li Wei was not surprised but rather pleased.

The Holy Spirit Technique is the ultimate secret that only geniuses among the Amethyst Clan can master, which indicates that the quality of the amethyst from Los Angeles is also higher.

Dragon and Elephant Path! Open!

Li Wei's sword momentum intensified, and in an instant, he unleashed one hundred and eight sword strikes, transforming them into his strongest sword strike!

Luo Shan spread his arms, and nine heads grew out, continuously extending until, in the purple light, he transformed into a nine-headed evil phoenix with a wingspan of ten thousand meters!

"If you don't take this seriously, this blow will surely kill you!"

"Give it a try."

Rumble!

The collision of the two forces was like a supernova explosion, with shockwaves visible to the naked eye spreading outwards.

The surrounding area, spanning hundreds of miles, resembled a shattered Arctic ice sheet, a scene of utter devastation.

"It still doesn't work..."

Luo Shan murmured, and the figure of the nine-headed evil phoenix slowly faded away.

It saw the golden barrier surrounding Li Wei crumble inch by inch, revealing his perfectly intact body.

The blazing crimson dragon-shaped iron blade pierced his own chest, shattering his purple heart.

Like a deflated balloon, Xie Feng returned to its original form in Luoshan.

It stared at Li Wei, its face filled with resentment, confusion, and despair.

Not long after, Luo Shan's life force dissipated, and he died.

As an eighth-level amethyst race member, it never imagined it would lose so miserably.

He never discovered the true strength of the Twilight Palace Master until his death.

A giant amethyst floats, its refracted purple light illuminating the dark place and highlighting its extraordinary quality.

A large number of miscellaneous rare ores were scattered in the void, and Li Wei even saw some level eight metals.

This is the Amethyst Clan! Killing one means getting a free mine.

How could Li Wei not love him?

After cleaning up the battlefield, the prisoners of war were inspected and then sealed in the Black Soul Tower.

He looked at the Fool's rune that kept warning him in his mind.

A six-armed figure, whose face was obscured, could be vaguely seen traveling through the darkness.

The Nightmare Dragon's advancement has made its danger perception even more accurate.

In this way, unless the enemy has special means, his safety is even more assured.

"Level 9 is here, let's go!"

He used his ability to travel through the void to leave the Flora Realm and head back towards the Black Swamp World.

a few days later.

The world of Florence.

A blue-skinned alien race with two horns on its head, six arms on its back, and a height of about ten thousand meters strode in, its aura causing the surrounding void to tremble uncontrollably.

It is the Blue Demon Hicks.

A powerful, hidden figure in the Council of Myriad Races, a level nine expert, whose true form is a member of the Qingluo Clan.

It went to investigate the stronghold in the world of Floro, and then flew out with a solemn expression.

"Not a single one survived..."

According to messages passed down by some of the deceased before their deaths, the murderer was none other than the Lord of Twilight Palace, which puzzled the Green-skinned alien race.

"How could he be the murderer? This place is so far from Nora, even for me it would take many years to get here. According to intelligence, the Twilight Temple Lord was still in Nora a few years ago."

A projection appeared in front of the blue demon.

"Hicks, how's the situation over there?"

The projection was a human figure, vaguely resembling a woman, with high, prominent breasts and a shapely figure, suggesting she had a very good physique.

Her hair, however, moved like a venomous snake, resembling the legendary Medusa.

This is the Snake Mother, also a level nine powerhouse.

"They're all dead. I'm too late. The Lord of Twilight Palace has already escaped to who knows where."

Snake Mother Path:

"With his level eight strength, it would be impossible for him to appear in the Flora Realm so quickly, unless he has mastered some kind of shortcut."

Green Ghost said:

"A shortcut? You mean traveling through the Astral Ruins?"

Snake Mother Path:

"Yes."

The blue demon pondered:

"This is troublesome. I don't even have this ability. Only some special beings or level 10 experts can master the means of traveling through the Void Sea."

Snake Mother Path:

"If this person is not nipped in the bud, he will become a huge threat in the future."

Green Ghost sighed:

"That being said, how easy is it to nip it in the bud? Does the Serpent Mother have any plans?"

The snake mother shrugged.

"I don't have any either. Let those guys worry about it. The main force that destroyed the wizarding world wasn't us, but the Abyss. In my opinion, preserving our strength for now is the right thing to do."

The blue demon smiled meaningfully:

"It seems the Snake Mother has found a way out..."

Some distant realm.

In the boundless depths of space, a colossal serpent, its length beyond measure, closed its eyes.

The Snake Mother closed the projection of the Blue Demon.

Inside its coiled body, there appeared to be eight snake heads taking a nap.

This is a nine-headed giant serpent, its scientific name is:

Nine-Headed Serpent!

……

Two years later.

Nora year 816.

A bloody battle that lasted 605 years.

Li Wei returned to the Black Swamp world.

Before Mana refined this plane, he planned to use it as his secluded retreat, with Blood Vortex Venerable remaining the master to the outside world. His battle with Luo Shan gave him a deeper understanding of his own strength.

As the strongest member of the Amethyst Clan, Luo Shan is also a genius who has mastered Holy Spirit Techniques. Don't be fooled by his early-stage Level 8 status; his true combat strength should not be much weaker than that of a late-stage Level 8.

Even such enemies were no match for Li Wei. To be precise, Li Wei could defeat them purely through physical strength and combat skills. If wizarding techniques and bloodline incantations were combined, even a peak level eight warrior would not be a match for Li Wei.

In short, although he was still at the early stage of level eight, he was already invincible below level nine, and his life was truly as lonely as snow.

The frustrating thing is that level nine and level eight are insurmountable barriers, and Li Wei is back in the same awkward situation he was in during his fifth-ring era. Despite being incredibly powerful, he could only bully those of the same level. When he encountered a level nine opponent, he still had to run away. Unlike his level seven days, when he could easily defeat level eight opponents.

"I am only at the early stage of the eighth level, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. When I reach the eighth level and the peak of the eighth level knight realm, I may be able to fight against a ninth-level expert."

"Oh right, I also have a magic circle."

The Ten Directions Absolute Prison Heavenly Dragon Formation is only a seven-ring formation. It's okay for dealing with level eight enemies, but it's child's play against level nine enemies, so it needs to be upgraded.

"Project Eighteen Levels of Hell, activated!"

Long ago, Li Wei wanted to create an ultimate magic array that encompassed all current factions, containing eighteen modules!

First, the seven elements;

Secondly, darkness, shadow, death, poison, and blood are the five negative energies.

Thirdly, dreams, light, space, time, and magnetic fields.

The above 17 modules are ultimately integrated into a chaotic array that can destroy the heavens and the earth and slaughter gods and immortals!

Of course, the actual refining process was left to Victor and the Holy Infant.

Li Wei's main role was to provide ideas, materials, and coordinate the entire project.

In this way...

This eighteen-level hell formation is the truly perfect formation.

Even after upgrading to the ninth ring or even legendary level, it can still be used.

Before advancing to the ninth ring, I need to acquire my three trump cards: [Eighteen Levels of Hell], [Giant Dragon Corpse Demon], and [Eternal Star Abyss]. Perhaps then I can achieve an unprecedented feat of personally slaying a god... A demigod is still a god.

Over the years, he has destroyed many strongholds, including an experimental base of the Destroyer Project, which was overseen by an eighth-level Amethyst Clan member.

If we go back and submit those prisoners as evidence, we should be able to get some rewards from the Wizarding Council.

Inside the Amethyst Clan's body, Li Wei also found more than a dozen types of undigested level-six ores, five types of level-seven ores, and two types of level-eight ores. These were all excellent materials for crafting Wizard Towers.

The level-eight amethyst was a giant amethyst with a diameter of over ten meters. Li Wei took half of it back and gave it to the Holy Infant and the others to use in refining weapons.

He would use the remaining half to forge a wizard tower. With such top-quality materials, there was no need to worry about the power and sturdiness of the wizard tower.

The battle also yielded a total of 14 rare treasures. Li Wei removed the restrictive marks from them and placed them on the Ancient Dragon Continent for members of the organization to exchange.

There are also some insignificant oddities, ranging from the earth to the star of dawn, totaling 13.

Wizards are not the only beings capable of refining artifacts; many spellcasters, as well as some alien races, can also do so.

The storage ring provided by the Spider King also yielded a bountiful harvest, with mountains of level six or higher ores, all obtained through raiding and plundering.

Three rare treasures and seven kinds of strange objects.

There are also many who cherish medicinal herbs.

There was also a pile of broken magical artifacts that Li Wei had picked up from who-knows-where, which he fed to the Sword of Victory to accelerate the gestation of the [King's Sword] artifact.

"This trip yielded 17 rare treasures and 20 wondrous items. This harvest is no less than that of the ancient pagoda. I really do need to get out and about; I can't just stay home all the time. Good luck can only be displayed on the road. You can't expect something to fall from the sky by sitting at home all day, can you?"

Li Wei put away these spoils for now, and would see which ones he could use once he returned to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a box radiating golden light in the corner.

Upon opening it, a golden feather was found inside, emanating a powerful aura; it was at level nine.

"These feathers look familiar..."

Li Wei recalled returning to four hundred years ago, when he was traveling through the void and encountered a giant Mayan eagle strolling by. As the eagle flew by, a feather drifted down from it.

Although Li Wei wanted it, he didn't dare to pick it up.

To my utter surprise, in the end, it was that Spider King kid who picked it up. So, this feather is clinging to me now, huh?

"Fine, I'll take it. It seems this feather is rightfully mine."

Li Wei sighed and sealed the feather inside a special ancient book.

Besides this Maya feather, a blood-red feather was also sealed in the interlayer. It was a level nine Blood Angel feather that Li Wei obtained long ago when he hunted the Blood Angel alien race. It can be said to be a relic of a demigod.

He had been sealed away at the bottom of the sea surrounding the Ancient Dragon Continent for a long time because he was worried about potential problems. He was only taken out recently after advancing to the eighth level.

"These two legendary materials, if used properly, can be used to forge a decent magical artifact. Let's go back and think about how to use them."

After taking stock of his gains, Li Wei quietly cultivated in the Black Swamp World, awaiting the opening of the Underworld Market.

Time passed, and the secluded place remained.

Golden light rippled with Li Wei's breath.

He opened his eyes and accessed the proficiency panel.

"The Golden Dragon and Crimson Emperor Dragon's breathing techniques are not far from the mid-stage of the eighth level. It has been 180 years since they advanced to the eighth level, so their progress is relatively slow. The search for the eighth-level dragon race should be put on the agenda. It's a good opportunity to visit the eighth floor of the ancient tower."

Based on the eight layers of intelligence he collected.

The eighth level is a vast land resembling an ancient wilderness, inhabited by powerful supernatural creatures and rampant black beasts; perhaps this is my chance.

Speaking of which, the Azure Sky World also has many powerful dragon creatures.

However, most of them are totem beasts of barbarian tribes, which are not convenient to bring back.

The barbarians are allies of the wizard, so they definitely can't be robbed, but trading them is fine.

By now, the Divine Knight has made a good impression over there and has basically gained the trust of the barbarians.

We can launch the second phase of the plan, using resources from the Ancient Dragon Continent to exchange for their bloodline essence.

……

one year later.

Nora, 817.

Three hundred years have passed since the Purgatory Demon Sword advanced to the seventh ring. Li Wei, the second brother, has been steadily advancing with a solid foundation and recently successfully advanced to the senior level of the seventh ring.

The Demon Fox Clan and the Demon Elephant Clan have secretly cooperated and have now established a foothold on the eighth floor, building a new city called [Black King City].

The nominal lord of Black King City is the Ghost Elephant Lord, but in reality, he is controlled by the Purgatory Demon Sword. Various scattered demon tribes from the vicinity flocked to his side, growing in strength like a snowball.

The eighth level is quite special; it is the gateway to the final instance of Hell. Its vastness surpasses the combined size of the previous seven levels.

Half of the seventy-two pillars have their own agents or forces on the eighth level, either demon tribes or undead forces.

Essentially, the structure of Hell is similar to that of the Wizarding Civilization. Due to certain special reasons, powerful beings above level nine cannot arbitrarily descend to certain places and can only acquire resources through this method.

The Demon Elephant Clan is backed by the Giant Elephant Supporting the Sky, while the Demon Fox Clan is led by the Lord of the Demon Fox. However, these two are not among the strongest of the Seventy-Two Pillars, so the Demon Fox Clan and the Demon Elephant Clan can only remain on the seventh level.

Over the years, with the covert support of Li Wei and the Infernal Sword, the two tribes have grown increasingly powerful, acquiring more resources and slightly increasing their offerings to their ancestors. The rest all flowed into Li Wei's hands.

In the early days of the wizarding civilization, Hell, as a dark and evil force, oppressed this emerging civilization quite a bit. Li Wei's actions can be considered as bringing glory to the wizards, and his merits are immeasurable.

Of course, the rise of emerging forces inevitably encroaches on the territory of established powers. Along its journey, the Infernal Sword has encountered numerous hardships and obstacles, the details of which are best left unsaid.

Council chamber.

After listening to his second brother recount his hardships, Li Wei highly praised and affirmed his hard work over the years, and also gave him the rare items and magical knowledge he had prepared as a reward.

"Thank you, brother."

The Hellfire Sword put away its elder brother's sentiments and had the Demon Fox Mistress fill its elder brother's cup with hot tea.

"Although the forces on the eighth level are complex and intertwined, as long as we don't provoke those five top tribes, we can still manage to get by with our strength."

The seventy-two pillars of hell are all composed of level ten powerhouses. However, the first pillar, the King of Hell, and the second pillar, the Radiant Dragon King Baha, do not have any power, so they are the five major tribes.

The remaining [Eye of Vengeance - Dirus], [Lord of the Underworld - Nubius], [Mother of the Bountiful - Knumrit], [Lord of the Beasts - Behemoth], and [Knight of Death - Aaron] all have agents on the eighth floor.

The Knight of Death is particularly special among them. He is the only undead among the seven pillars who has attained enlightenment. The others are either demons or mythical creatures with innate power.

Legend has it that the Death Knight rode a legendary steed called the "Hellfire Pegasus," which brought death wherever it went and caused all spirits to flee in terror.

"By the way, I've also found out about Mr. Lost Heart, whom you asked me to inquire about. He's a friend of the Knight of Death and is probably a high-ranking lich who lives in seclusion in Hell. He shelters many homeless spirits, and although the demons dislike him, they don't dare to provoke him."

He's probably an agent planted in Hell by the Wizarding Council to facilitate communication with the higher-ups there, and since you're a key figure being groomed by the Wizarding Council, they want to have a chat with you.

Li Wei nodded.

"I see."

Once I reach the ninth ring, I might be able to visit them once or twice, but for now, I'd better not.

Liches are known for their unstable personalities, and some wizards who become liches end up as "mad liches" because they can't believe in the character of liches.

Before leaving, Li Wei looked at the Demon Fox Mistress, the three sisters, and the Ghost Elephant Lord.

"You have worked hard to take care of my second brother all these years. When my second brother's great ambition is realized, your two tribes will surely benefit from it."

The Demon Fox Mistress laughed:

"Thank you, Master... Actually, we also enjoy it. The Demon Fox Lord is very satisfied with my work over the years and has rewarded me with some benefits. In less than a hundred years, I will be able to advance to the mid-stage of the eighth level."

The three sisters thanked Li Wei for his empty promise, as their strength was slowly increasing, not stagnating.

As for the Ghost Elephant Lord, its cultivation has not been delayed, and it is now at the mid-stage of level eight.

The Elephant Clan is an ally of the Fox Clan, so they wouldn't be chosen for such a good opportunity as furnace cauldrons.

Li Wei obtained 20 billion ghost money and more than 40 soul stones from his second brother, along with a wealth of other materials, which need no further explanation.

……

The Styx River is vast and boundless.

On the mast sailboat, Digg arrived as promised.

After spending 12 billion ghost money, Li Wei acquired another pound of [Dead Man's Breath Soil].

After that, he bought some special products from hell or the underworld. In the end, he got 10 blind boxes, and his happy shopping spree came to an end.

Li Wei came to Di Gao's side and sat cross-legged.

Thank you.

"You're welcome, it's just a fair trade... By the way, the next Underworld Market is a once-in-a-millennium event, and legendary treasures are sure to appear. You'd better prepare plenty of money then."

Digo casually gave Li Wei a hint.

"May I ask what it is?"

Digo: "An item for prolonging life."

Li Wei's heart stirred.

"A legendary longevity item, on par with the Turtle King Fruit. With the current financial resources of the Demon Fox Tribe and the Ghost Elephant Tribe, the chances of acquiring it are slim. After all, they still have to offer tribute to the Seventy-Two Pillars, otherwise the higher-ups might become suspicious... Oh well, let fate decide. Anyway, my lifespan is sufficient, and the Hundred Flowers are fine too."

Such a treasure, if placed in the wizarding world, would definitely cause a sensation, prompting even great wizards or legendary wizards to offer up their Sun-level artifacts in exchange.

The conversation with Digo continued until the end of the Underworld City, and the two talked about all sorts of things, giving the feeling of true confidants.

Watching the mast disappear into the distance, Li Wei left Hell, looking forward to the next Underworld Market.

……

The Dark Tower.

The fifth floor.

The former Tower of Wind Spirits has now developed into the largest spellcaster academy for humans.

The four major schools of earth, fire, wind, and water each gave birth to a Dharma King who presided over the work and protected the human race.

Following the successful experience of the seventh level, Li Wei vigorously promoted the way of wizards or knights among humans, and has achieved good results so far.

Even without Li Wei's protection, the humans on the fifth level had the ability to protect themselves against black beasts or alien races, thus ending their dark history.

The Dharma Kings were delighted to see Livi arrive. After reporting their work, they asked him nervously:

"My Lord, how is Kidman doing outside?"

Li Weidao:

"He's already at the peak of level six, and with a bit of luck, he might even reach level seven."

He projected the recording of Kidman onto the screen for these people, which made the Dharma Kings envious.

"Do your best. If you can advance to the late stage of level six in your lifetime, I can take you out to see a wider world."

These Dharma Kings were initially a little apprehensive, but now they are completely at ease.

During this century, the Child of the Elements was not found. Li Wei led eight individuals with special talents and dual elemental affinity to the seventh level.

The sixth level has very few humans, and they are scattered. There is no systematic organization of spellcasters, making it too difficult to pass on spells. Time is of the essence, so Li Wei is not considering it for the time being.
