Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 511 A Crow's Wonderful Adventure! Forty Years of Cultivation in a Foreign Land, World Integration!

Saint Infant did not participate in this auction; he was in seclusion at Fire Dragon Heavenly Craft to stabilize his mental energy.

Victor and Gandalf bought a lot of crafting materials for him.

Viktor spent 33 billion taels of silver to successfully bid for the last wonder of the Golden Emperor Sequence.

The Moonlit Wonder: The Golden Emperor's Chain.

After hundreds of years, the Golden Emperor sequence has finally been completed.

After refining it, Victor's companion spirit [Golden Emperor] reached perfection, and his own gold element talent was further enhanced.

His mental strength increased by 190 points, reaching 11233 points, not far from the limit of the seventh ring.

Next, Viktor only needs to collect the Silver King Sequence and the Gold God Sequence.

The foundation of talent for advancing to legendary status has been laid.

From then on, his spiritual practice proceeded smoothly without any obstacles.

Gandalf's main gains from this trip were some medicinal materials and medicinal formulas.

Next came the transformation period for Gandalf Pharmacy.

As a leader, he definitely needs to lay a solid foundation; his own pharmacology skills must be top-notch.

Li Wei also allowed him to participate in the entire process of developing the longevity potion, and to learn from Lucy and Triss.

As for rare items for body tempering, they are extremely rare; I didn't come across any at the auction.

Gandalf didn't buy the ordinary Truth Treasure at the auction; he could simply exchange it for battle merits.

Gandalf wasn't in a hurry; his [Dragon Elephant Body] was already quite powerful.

This was created by refining and fusing three Bright Moon and five Morning Star level body-refining treasures.

……

This day.

Buzz!

From beneath the ancient continent of Gulong, a spherical fortress with a diameter of ten thousand meters flew out.

The first test machine of the Starburg Project has officially begun trial operation.

Researchers from the mechanical school, as well as Levi and Hermann, were all present to observe.

The surface of the fortress is covered with a layer of Deep Dream Alloy that is hundreds of meters thick.

Eight level-six knights or wizards are attacking the fortress without reservation, each using their own methods.

All the attacks landed on it, like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating ripples, and were cleverly deflected.

That's the protective barrier on the surface at work.

Half a day later, the barrier was finally broken by everyone.

However, thanks to the strength of its alloy, it was still able to withstand the attacks of eight level six powerhouses.

Later, even level seven experts were dispatched to attack it, but they were unable to break through its protective system in a short time.

Keep in mind that this is a situation where they are on the defensive and being attacked.

Under normal circumstances, Star Fortress can escape or fight back.

Li Wei said, "From the current perspective, as long as it's not an eighth-level expert, Star Fortress can handle it with ease. That's good."

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many level eight powerhouses on the Bloodbath Battlefield now; it's because two powerful civilizations are at war.

In fact, how many level eight powerhouses are there in the vast and diverse planes of existence?

According to the standards of the Council of All Races, they are all venerable beings in their respective realms.

Herman said, "Yes, with guaranteed energy supply, endurance is not a problem. Starfortress can travel between planes for thousands of years."

Currently, Starburg's energy is mainly divided into three major systems.

One is bioenergy, which uses extraordinary oils extracted from the flesh and blood of demons, nightmare creatures, and black beasts to generate energy through combustion.

Secondly, there is elemental energy, which relies on a solidified magic array to continuously absorb and store the elemental power between heaven and earth.

Thirdly, there is Taishi energy, which is a versatile fuel for all kinds of extraordinary things such as machinery, magic arrays, and witchcraft.

Of these, the second type of energy is the core, the foundation for ensuring long-distance travel.

Other energy sources, once depleted, cannot be replenished anytime, anywhere in the Dark Land.

Herman said, "Next, we need to train specialized Starfortress mechanics. Lord, just wait and see."

Li Wei smiled and said, "You've worked hard. Strive to develop more star fortresses so that everyone on the Ancient Dragon Continent can move into them as soon as possible."

In this way, the Ancient Dragon Continent will become a mobile war fortress in the Wizarding World.

The ensuing battle became increasingly complex, making high mobility essential.

With the protection of the Star Fortress, the safety of the mortals living within it is greatly enhanced.

The damage caused to the Ancient Dragon Continent by the bloody battle will be minimized.

Moreover, if needed, Li Wei can quickly gather all the star fortresses and send everyone into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Then he will lead everyone to preserve the flame of various civilizations and races, such as wizards and knights!

Wandering in deep space, searching for a new home.

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario.

Given the geographical location of the Ancient Dragon Continent, if this day were to occur, the Wizarding World would be doomed.

He wouldn't abandon Nora unless he was completely desperate.

……

Come back soon.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Elena lay in Levi's arms and whispered.

Li Wei said, "I understand. You should cultivate diligently in the Ancient Dragon Continent and not go demon hunting until you reach the eighth ring."

Elena nodded.

She lacks nothing now; the most important thing is to honestly improve her cultivation level.

Li Wei said, "You can call upon the guardians Squidward, Black Feather Pheasant, Ancient Giant Turtle, Thunder Crocodile, and Winter Eagle at any time. If you encounter danger, send them out first."

The high-ranking officials of the Ancient Dragon Continent are all very responsible, and many of them lead by example.

In any other organization, these guardians would never be able to live such a leisurely life.

Li Wei: "By the way, if you encounter any danger, feel free to contact me through the Twilight Roundtable. I have a way to save you."

Li Wei's "Secret Words of No Concealment" allows him to send anyone who can sense him into a nightmare world, regardless of spatial distance.

Not only enemies, but also friendly forces.

By instantly sending Elena's true form into the Black Dragon Territory of the Nightmare World, we can escape the attacks from the material world.

Once it's safe, we can send Elena back.

This is also a secret method that Li Wei has thought of over the years, and it has been tested and proven to be feasible.

Elena "sees" Levi through the round table; this is a form of perception.

The Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique is a magical method; if used correctly, it can enable many impressive maneuvers.

Elena felt a warmth in her heart.

A month later.

After arranging everything and saying goodbye to Triss, Li Wei left the Ancient Dragon Continent and traveled freely in the vast void.

He began his longest journey through the dark lands.

……

Nora year 833.

A bloody battle that lasted 622 years.

During the fierce clash between the wizard civilization and the abyss civilization.

In the vast and diverse universe, small-scale wars and conflicts are also unfolding.

Pangon Realm, Pangon Plane.

Two alien races, exuding the aura of the eighth level, suddenly descended.

They gazed upon the ravaged earth, the cracked crust, the gushing lava, and the sadistic demonic energy and evil spirits.

On the ground, a powerful dwarf, corrupted by magic, wandered aimlessly.

"The Pangon Empire is finished..."

"I did not sense the presence of Venerable Dagong."

"It ran away."

"Chase after them. Judging from the looks of it, they haven't gone far."

These two are law enforcement officers of the Council of All Races.

Not long ago, the large world where the Azure Realm is located was invaded by the Abyss.

The level nine stealth operative stationed there was killed, and the branch's treasury was stolen.

Many precious natural treasures and rare items were lost.

It even includes two great treasures: the level nine Turtle King Fruit and the near-level nine rare treasure, the Underworld Armor.

Some venerable ones and practitioners, blinded by greed, took advantage of the chaos, looted the treasures, and fled.

This includes Venerable Dagon, who is holding a meeting in the Azure Realm.

They are the ones ordered to track down these traitors.

The Council of All Races developed too quickly in its later stages.

Furthermore, since the members are scattered across multiple planes, far from the central authority, the quality of the personnel varies greatly.

In recent years, the elders of the organization have been uniting and devoting countless efforts to developing the powerful Oath Treasure, the Sword of Covenant.

This is to alleviate the current problem in which the high-level members of the Council of All Races all have their own ulterior motives.

Ordinary oath-making methods are only good for dealing with regular travelers.

The binding force on messengers and venerable figures who include all sorts of demons and monsters is not strong.

Over the years, the damage that the Council of All Races has caused to the Council of Wizards has been negligible.

One major reason is that the members are not united enough.

Once the Sword of Covenant is completed, it will become a treasure on par with the Dark Temple.

It is the cornerstone upon which the Council of All Races is able to stand firm.

……

Pan Gong Boundary.

"Gagaga!"

A blue raven streaked across the night sky, trailing a stream of frost particles, like a comet.

After a journey of over 630 years, Ara was tired.

It has witnessed 124 wars of civilizations, a third of which were related to abyssal demons.

It has witnessed 13 worlds being destroyed before its eyes.

It has witnessed countless lives come to an end in an instant.

Death is like wildflowers by the roadside; it can be seen everywhere.

It had seen the mighty, starlight serpent, head to tail, which swallowed a world on the verge of destruction in one gulp.

To it, I might not even be considered a small melon seed.

So it took one of the other's shed scales.

It had seen a spider web that blotted out the sky, hidden in a world.

An angel from the lower realm fell into its trap and instantly turned into a dried-up corpse, his divine power exhausted.

As the angel struggled, it destroyed some of the spiderwebs and drifted with the current.

It took some of it to make a Simmons bed for its nest.

As a traveler and observer.

In corners unnoticed by wizards, it witnessed the individual stories and joys and sorrows of billions of living beings.

Now, we have almost all the materials needed to build the nest.

I can go home and build my own little nest now.

After so many years, its owner must miss it.

I'm tired from flying.

Aya randomly chose a small world and planned to rest for a while.

In the desert, the wide Rhone River flows quietly.

A crow descended from the sky, and a dark golden light caught its attention.

Based on its experience, anything that glows is a good thing.

On the riverbed, a dark gold dagger lay silently.

I've taken it! I'll use it to decorate the edge of the nest.

The crow opened its mouth and swallowed it into its belly.

Rumble!

The earth-shattering explosion nearly shook the entire small world.

The river was instantly pounded, the earth's crust folded layer by layer, and magma erupted.

Startled, the crow quickly flew into the sky.

However, it turned out that two groups of people were fighting.

One of them was a burly dwarf.

Its upper body was clad in a jet-black armor, exuding a chilling gray aura.

Countless twisted undead swirled around, making it impossible to look directly at them.

The dwarf wielded a giant hammer, and with each strike, the void trembled.

Beneath it was a colossal dragon, its entire body clad in crimson steel armor, radiating an intense dragon's might.

His bloodshot golden eyes radiated a tyrannical aura.

This is a pure-blooded dragon!

On the other side were two level-eight alien race members, their faces filled with shock.

"Dagon, you actually keep a dragon as a pet?"

"Hehehe, didn't expect that, did you? You actually dared to capture this Great Emperor? You're courting death!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for the assistance of your peak level eight dragon, how could you, with your mere mid-level eight cultivation, possibly be a match for us?"

"Hmph! Having a dragon is just my means to achieve my goals!"

"Leave the Armor of Hades behind and come back with us obediently. The organization is in dire need of manpower, so you may be spared the death penalty."

"It is you who should stay! I have already abandoned the Pangon world; no one can make this Great Emperor submit!"

One side has two late-stage level 8 players, while the other side has a pure-blooded dragon at the peak of level 8.

Such a battle can only be described as terrifying.

Aya dared not watch the play, fearing it would implicate him.

It quickly slipped away, perfectly embodying its master's cunning and ruthlessness.

Alas, yet another innocent world is about to be destroyed.

Do these important figures really have to fight each other?

Wouldn't it be better to pick up trash like I do?

A month later.

A crow landed on a meteorite to rest.

Suddenly, the void split open, and a figure landed on the ground with a thud.

Aya was startled; this seemed to be one of the two alien races from a while ago.

However, it now only has half a body left, and its aura is extremely weak, as if it only has one breath left.

"Damn it... damn Dagon!"

Bingman murmured to herself, feeling the passage of life.

The alien flame [Destruction Heart Flame] from [Flame King Dragon] is relentlessly scorching its life force and even its soul.

It saw an ice-blue crow slash across the sky.

This reminded it of the ice crows of its homeland, a frozen world called the Snowwood World.

In the center of the world, there stands a towering snow tree, said to have been planted by our ancestors 100,000 years ago.

Unfortunately, his hometown had vanished, and Bingman chose to wander.

Because it had heard that the wizard was extremely evil and selfish, it knew that going to Nora would surely lead to a bad end.

After joining the Council of All Races, it is determined to fight Nora to the bitter end.

However, after a busy life, it seems that I have gained nothing.

It wanted to recall something more during its final moments.

boom!

An iceberg fell from the sky, ending its life completely; its last glimmer of life vanished.

In the void, Aya cautiously peeked out.

Why isn't this person resisting?

I, Aya, have actually managed to defeat an eighth-level late-stage powerhouse today with the body of a level six companion spirit!

This is an achievement that the master could not attain even after a thousand years of cultivation and using cheat codes!

"Gagaga!"

That really makes Ah Ya incredibly awesome.

Not long after, the terrifying residual dragon flames completely reduced the alien powerhouse to ashes before dissipating on their own.

All that remained was a blue ring that exuded a chilling aura.

Aya picked it up casually and continued on her way home.

……

Emperor Dagong beheaded the alien race before him with a single sword stroke, picked it up with his hand, and placed it in front of Yan Wanglong.

The alien sneered, "Kill me. My life was given to me by the organization. I won't beg for mercy."

Dagon looked at his severed arm, which was bleeding profusely.

"Is it worth it for you to steal this piece of broken armor?"

Before the enemy could answer, Dagon said:

"Ogri'er! Dragonfire!"

Boom! A terrifying burst of destructive flames erupted, reducing everything to nothing.

Dagon picked up the enemy's loot.

"The combination of a level eight peak Flame King Dragon and the Wings of Destruction already has such terrifying effects. If it were to advance to level nine, in this vast panplane, where couldn't I go? I could even leave the panplane, escape these conflicts, find a secluded paradise, and create a new world that belongs to my Dagon!"

"Unfortunately, the Armor of Hades is missing an arm guard. It was already incomplete, and now it's even more incomplete."

During the great battle, it was careless and lost an arm.

Although the arm could grow back, one of the magical artifact components was missing, having been stolen by one of the enforcers, Bingman.

The Armor of Hades is a rare treasure for which the organization has placed a bounty on Gandalf.

It was once a powerful level nine rare treasure, a composite battle armor composed of a series of parts.

Later, due to unforeseen circumstances, only the upper body remained, thus it was classified as a near-level nine.

Unfortunately, centuries have passed, and Gandalf is still alive and well, while the treasure is just gathering dust in the organization's vault.

Until the Abyss invaded, the Pangon plane also fell.

This gave the despondent Emperor Dagon an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Amidst the chaos of battle.

Another late-stage level eight powerhouse from the Azure Scale Clan, [Azure Demon Lockes], obtained the [Helmet of Hades] and the [Turtle King Fruit].

Dagon obtained the breastplate of Hades and two arm guards.

This greatly enhanced its strength. In addition, the Flame King Dragon it had been raising was almost an adult, so it simply stopped pretending and directly betrayed the Council of Ten Thousand Races.

It's a good thing to leave sooner rather than later. Once the Sword of the Covenant is released, it won't be so easy to leave.

Now it is all alone, with no worries and no weaknesses.

Next, we will capture some master craftsmen and artifact makers in the pan-dimensional civilization.

Once Orgrim comes of age, upgrade its [Wings of Destruction].

Emperor Tadagon will be above ten ranks and above ten thousand men!

It's a pity that Master Fire Dragon is growing too fast, and he's also a key figure protected by the council.

Otherwise, he could accomplish Dagong's goal by himself.

……

Black Swamp World.

"Master, you're back."

Blood Vortex Venerable was delighted. His master had been gone for more than ten years and had not returned, making him anxious.

It fears that its master, being a prominent figure, might forget about it.

It can wait; the Black Swamp World is about to collapse.

If he is not absorbed by Mana, he will become the ruler of a secondary plane.

Centuries later, Nora will likely have an additional continent called Black Swamp.

At that point, all I can do is wait to be "archaeologically discovered" by the wizarding warband.

Li Wei said, "Mana, let's begin."

Ancient Banyan Wonderland: The ancient banyan tree trembles and rustles.

Mana appeared, her expression grave.

"Blood Vortex Venerable, do as I say, and remember, you cannot make a mistake, or you may lose your life!"

Blood Vortex said, "Thank you for your trouble, Sister Mana."

In the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, Mana is the undisputed leader, regardless of her cultivation level.

Li Wei took out the Holy Grail of Immortality and went deep underground until he reached the inner world of the earth.

Under high pressure and high heat, an invisible will is surging.

This is the will of the plane, and a faint phantom of a leech can be seen within it, blending seamlessly together.

As the ruler of the plane, Blood Vortex Venerable and the plane's will are no longer separate.

If the Blood Vortex Venerable dies, the plane may be fine; but if the plane is gone, the Blood Vortex Venerable will surely die!

Livy placed the Holy Grail of Youth here.

This is a level nine rare treasure, so naturally it will not be damaged at the Earth's core.

He said to the spirit of the Immortal Grail, Xianronglong, "Are you ready too?"

Xianronglong nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wei arrived in the fairyland and said:

"Lope, Red King, Heavenly Fiend, Ronan, Black Phoenix, all five of you are at the eighth level of cultivation, and you are all among the best. This fusion will take a long time, and I may go into seclusion for an extended period. You must protect the Fairy Realm well... Also, Ms. Ezosera, please take care of Mana and keep an eye on the Dragon Palace members for me."

"no problem!"

"Don't worry, boss, with me, Ronan, here, Ancient Banyan Wonderland will be safe!"

The girl, transformed from a celestial banyan dragon, asked, "Is there wine to drink after completing the mission?"

"Of course."

Li Wei pinched the chubby cheeks of the Immortal Banyan Dragon and said with a smile.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon hurriedly dodged away and returned to the banyan tree.

"Stop pinching it, you've made it too big."

Soon, all departments returned to their posts, and the intensive interdimensional integration plan began.

According to calculations, Nora absorbs an average of 10 worlds every year.

And this number is increasing as Nora grows.

The refining of the Black Swamp World had no impact whatsoever on Nora's dimensional convergence.

……

Time flies.

Three years later.

Nora calendar year 836, Blood War year 625.

Li Wei is 1260 years old.

His senses spread out as he looked up at the sky above the Black Swamp world.

A faint phantom of a colossal tree, reaching to the heavens and the earth, can be seen, stretching across the sky and the earth.

The roots of the giant tree spread to all corners of the land.

Countless illusory green leaves drifted away with the air currents and ocean currents.

It was as if the whole world had turned green.

In the realm of the World Will, the phantom of the leech, the phantom of the ancient banyan tree, and the World Will are in a delicate balance.

"The Blood Vortex is gradually guiding the world's will to accept me; I am about to begin assimilation."

"clear."

As mana gradually gained dominance, a long process of assimilation and absorption began.

The Black Swamp World is a complete medium-sized world, far larger than the worlds Mana had previously merged with; it is more than a dozen times larger than the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Li Wei estimated that after refining it, even if Mana's growth is extremely slow, she could still reach level eight.

At that time, the Ancient Banyan Wonderland will be even more stable.

Li Wei's early tactic of "closing the door to beat the dog" might be ready to be used again.

Open the proficiency panel.

The spells "Coin of Salvation" and "Summoning the Lord of Hell" are already at level eighteen.

With a foundation in the early stages, it's easy to cultivate these sequential spells to the eighth level.

"Thousand Thunders" and "Eight Directions Blazing Sun" also became the first batch of spells that Li Wei mastered, advancing to the nineteenth level limit.

After testing, the full power of "Eight Directions Blazing Sun" is already stronger than that of the Fire Dragon Calamity.

In terms of power, innate spells are still inferior to perfected eighth-ring sequence spells.

Of course, the Eight Directions Blazing Sun consumes more energy and its casting speed is not as fast as the Fire Dragon Calamity.

In general, each has its advantages and disadvantages, and should be used flexibly according to the combat situation.

Other spells remain largely unchanged and require no further explanation.

The formal integration had just begun, and Li Wei continued his seclusion.

……

Cultivation knows no time; forty years pass in the blink of an eye.

This was the first time Li Wei had ever secluded himself for such a long time outside of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

His mental strength increases every year, and his aura changes every year.

That day, he opened the Dusk Round Table, and Elena contacted him, wondering what it was about.

"Guess what day it is today?"

Elena suddenly asked mysteriously.

Li Wei's heart stirred, he did some quick calculations with his fingers, and then smiled:

"Unbeknownst to me, I'm already 1300 years old. Sorry, I've been in seclusion for too long and forgot your birthday yesterday."

Elena: "It doesn't matter, it's not like it's a once-in-a-century birthday... Happy birthday! When are you coming back?"

Li Wei: "It's still uncertain; it may take some more time."

Elena remarked, "In the blink of an eye, my 15th century is almost over, and we've known each other for over 1,100 years."

Li Wei: "I've known you for almost 1,300 years. I've known you since I was a child, but you've never heard of me."

Elena: "I have good news for you. All 12 of my scattered witch marks have returned, and I've now cultivated 13 sixth-ring witch marks. Triss has also been restored; oh, by the way, my wizard tower is completely finished. I'll show it to you when I get back."

Li Wei: "Keep up the good work! The sixth ring of the Witch Mark is just the beginning; there's still the seventh ring to go. How are your Knight and Qi Master skills?"

Elena: "The Knight has already reached the peak of level six, and is in the late stage of level six in the Qi Sect. I have gained a lot of insights into the Qi Sect over the years, and may break through first. The Knight still needs to continue preparing materials for evolution."

Li Wei: That's fine too. Don't rush, take your time.

Li Wei then asked, "By the way, how's Heim? Has that kid broken through again? Tell him to slow down and not rush things."

Elena chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Heim is only at the fourth level of his talent right now, and he's still creating his sixth talent... He's taking each step very steadily. As a three-water talent, reaching the fourth level of his talent at over a hundred years old isn't very fast. The Grand Council Speaker is probably already a fifth-level wizard by now."

Elena added, "There's one more thing. Heim's father, Pick, has actually broken through twice and advanced to the Yuanhun realm. It's unbelievable."

Li Wei: "Incredible. Please send him my blessings. The last case of someone breaking through to the Yuanhun realm twice was five thousand years ago."

Elena said, "This is truly an amazing era, where everyone is creating their own miracles."

Li Wei: "Pique is only six hundred years old now, and he's already reached the sixth ring; his future is promising. After this setback, his future path might be smoother than I imagine. Heim is destined to be an extraordinary person, and his parents are no less so."

Elena: "The important task you entrusted to me has been completed. Thanks to Triss's and my flawless planning, the Blood Knight and the Wind Witch have hit it off. The Snow Lotus Witch has also been a great help; she doesn't want her mother to be alone anymore. With Wendy's top-tier talent, she has a good chance of reaching the ninth ring in the future, and she and the Blood Knight are a good match."

Li Wei asked, "What about the Snow Lotus Witch and the Gray Knight? I feel they would be a good match too."

Elena chuckled, "This couple... just wait until they come back for their wedding, hahaha."

Li Wei was in high spirits; it seemed the deal was done.

Elena is truly an all-around genius; with such talent, it would be a shame if she didn't become the Goddess of Love in the Astral Plane.

Li Wei had already begun to imagine how outstanding the child of the Blood Knight and the Ash Knight would be.

Two mythical bloodline knights, and two top-tier genius witches.

This combination is perfect!

Li Wei immediately appointed Elena as the "matchmaker" of the Twilight Temple.

From now on, the task of organizing social events and facilitating matchmaking will be entrusted to her.

There's also a group of outstanding young men, such as Silver Dragon, Steel Dragon, Snow Dragon, Jade Elephant...

Once they reach level seven, they can start thinking about starting a family.

Whether or not there are myths, one must leave behind descendants, right?

Levi and Elena talked for a long time.

He secluded himself for forty years, with no one to talk to.

They missed each other and took advantage of this birthday to talk on the phone for three days and three nights.

They not only discussed useful information and intelligence, but also had a lot of casual conversation.

After Baihua left the round table at dusk.

The Blood Knight also projected himself.

"Happy birthday, Captain!"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you. How's the organization doing lately?"

Blood Knight: "Everything is normal, and things are steadily improving."

The Blood Knight was quite serious; he mainly wanted to report to Li Wei on his work over the past forty years.

Currently, including the Nora Continent branch, the Twilight Temple has 36 knights of level six or above.

There are also 24 from the Ancient Dragon Empire, making a total of 60.

Of course, after nearly seven hundred years of bloody battles, many level six knights have been sacrificed, which is inevitable.

Li Wei instructed the Blood Knights to comfort the families of the fallen knights.

Afterwards, the Black Knight, the Holy Ape Knight, and the other eighteen riders came to congratulate Li Wei on his birthday.

This brought Li Wei, who was alone in a foreign land, an indescribable warmth.

It's nice to always have someone thinking of you.

The Black Knight is ready to advance to level seven.

Because the mythological path he chose was quite dangerous.

Li Wei asked the Black Knight to wait for him for a while until he returned, so that if the Black Knight were to perish, he could become a Heroic Spirit.

The Black Knight agreed; even though he was an undead, it was better to live a miserable life than to die.

As an ancient relic who has lived for over a thousand years, he understands this principle.

Emperor Mu has now reached the sixth level limit, and Qi Sect is at the mid-sixth level, and they are also in the process of preparing evolution materials.

Both the Golden Lion Knight and the Goddess Knight are preparing to advance to the Yuanhun realm.

The breakthrough potions were all purchased from Gandalf's Pharmacy as "Lady of Dreams".

The middle-generation knights have gradually caught up, all reaching the late stage of level six.

Some of the faster ones, such as the Silver Dragon Knight, have already reached the peak of level six.

The new generation of people benefited greatly from the giant beasts that Li Wei risked his life to capture.

Characters like the Pheasant Knight and the Snow Dragon Knight are already close to reaching the late stage of level six.

As time goes on and the advancement speed of those at higher levels slows down, the gap between the Twilight Eighteen Riders will gradually narrow.

As for the Fire Dragon Knight, he is far ahead of the competition, becoming the strongest among the eighteen riders, excluding Li Wei and Elena.

He made rapid progress on the Level 8 Demon Slayer Ranking and is now ranked among the top 100 with a cultivation level of the early Level 7.

It's important to understand that the competition on the list is now much fiercer than it was back in Li Wei's time; more and more wizards are joining the demon-slaying frenzy.

Especially with the emergence of some reclusive old masters or geniuses from prominent families who never appear in public, the value of these talents is becoming increasingly high.

Li Wei was very happy to see everyone's progress.

As for the situation with the three clones, he didn't need the Twilight Round Table; he already knew everything through the contact with the main body.

After the Holy Infant completely stabilized his spiritual power and possessed the Fire God Body, he dispersed his cultivation and started over, recovering his strength in forty years.

They are currently working towards achieving 22 witch marks, and once that's done, they can aim for the eighth ring.

With his current talent, Li Wei estimates that he will be able to reach the eighth ring within two hundred years at the latest.

Possessing the [Fire Element Heaven-Burning Body], the Holy Infant's combat abilities have been enhanced to an epic degree.

Not long ago, on the battlefield, I hunted down a level 8 early-stage benthic fish demon all by myself.

I've unlocked my own achievement for fighting opponents of higher levels.

Of course, compared to Li Wei's nonchalant approach, the Holy Infant was the kind of enemy that could only be killed by unleashing its full power.

So it's fine to come here occasionally. It's safer to stick to cooperating with Victor and the others to hunt demons.

Although Victor doesn't have the Sun Artifact yet, he'll get it soon.

With his sword formation and perfected seventh-ring cultivation, he also hunted down a wandering nightmare lord at the early stage of level eight in the nightmare world.

The only one who hasn't yet defeated an eighth-level opponent is Gandalf, who hasn't even reached the seventh ring.

Gandalf had his own pace of cultivation, and he wanted to integrate the Nine-Headed Serpent Body Refinement Technique before reaching the Eighth Ring.

Therefore, he can cultivate step by step, and his advancement speed is very fast. He will soon reach the seventh ring.

For the past forty years, the three factions have worked together and thrived on the battlefield.

Their battle achievements rose accordingly, with Victor aiming for the Sun God artifact of the Gold God sequence, and the Holy Infant being the Frost God.

Gandalf, on the other hand, pinned his hopes for the Sunfire Body-Changing artifact on the Body-Changing Academy.

According to the previous agreement, as long as he researches the advanced Purple Crystal Body Refining Method, he can obtain a Sun-level Body Refining Treasure.

Therefore, he took this project very seriously.

In short, over the years, everyone has never stopped striving to become stronger.

A month later, Li Wei looked towards the Earth's center.

Mana has almost completely assimilated the will of the plane.

Before long, he will be able to end his long prison sentence.

He hasn't had a chance to look at the five treasure maps he acquired at the previous auction.

He had also considered leaving the Holy Grail of Immortality here and going on an adventure.

After much thought, it still doesn't seem right.

This is my most precious treasure, related to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

You can do without a Sun-level artifact, but you can't lose this one.

……

one year later.

Nora year 877.

A bloody battle that lasted 666 years.

Li Wei awoke from his seclusion once again.

He placed his hand on the Klein crystal ball.

[Mental Strength: 18888/25600]

……

"What an auspicious number! We're only a little over three thousand away from completing the eighth ring."

The eighth ring road is complete, so how far away can the ninth ring road be?

Talent + effort + stats, cultivation truly allows you to do whatever you want.

Li Wei's original mental strength limit was 25550.

However, I recently refined a Morning Star artifact from the Ocean faction, named [Tears of the Flower Fairy], which increased my maximum level by 50 points.

This strange item was also a loot from the previous Dark Tower, and its quality is not high.

However, it is possible that a rather practical auxiliary companion spirit, the Flower Fairy, will be created.

It can help Li Wei farm and water flowers in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Unfortunately, Li Wei's luck did not work.

The absence of his companion spirit creature left him feeling depressed for a while.

Li Wei has no shortage of combat-type spirit creatures; he has [Si Lei], and his own combat power is sufficient.

He didn't expect his companion spirit to fight against opponents of higher levels.

He needs more exotic creatures like Ah Long, Ah Jin, Ah Ya, Ah Die...

Therefore, when they encounter such strange objects, they will also refine them for fun.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't Aya be back soon?"

Through his connection with his companion spirit, he confirmed that A-Ya was still alive.

I just don't know where that guy is now.

Through diligent practice, Jin Huanglong Breathing Method recently reached the mid-stage of level eight.

The defensive capabilities have been further enhanced, and the diameter of the [Elemental Magnetic Domain] has reached 100 kilometers.

Magical abilities such as Golden Gravity have been further enhanced.

However, compared to the Crimson Emperor Dragon, the Golden Emperor Dragon's cultivation speed cannot keep up due to the lack of level eight secret medicine.

Once the Ancient Banyan Wonderland is fully integrated, Li Wei plans to find a place densely populated with black beasts and use the [Nine-Leaf Blood Dharani] as bait to begin the hunt.

In addition, the Fool's Rune, Magic Rune, and Hanged Man Rune have each been upgraded by one tier.

The increased power representing deception and foresight, casting speed, and elemental damage resistance has reached 80%, 70%, and 50%, respectively.

The [Power Rune] was the first to break through to the 18th tier, increasing its power amplification from 250% to 300%.

Another skill that is about to achieve a major breakthrough is the [Primordial Spirit] skill.

During the Seventh Ring period, his primordial spirit fused and absorbed his [Witch Image], forging the powerful [Nine-Colored Emperor].

I wonder what changes will occur after the Eighth Ring Road.

In short, this is an opportunity for the fusion of the two extraordinary paths of wizardry and knighthood, and Li Wei will continue his cultivation.

Whether it's physical transformation into a divine palace or physical spiritualization, he must find a way to resolve these contradictions and forge his own path.

The gates of hell slowly opened, and Little Red and Little Black came hand in hand to Li Wei.

"Master, a letter from the Hellfire Sword."

These two little skeletons have made considerable progress over the past thousand years following Li Wei.

Xiao Hong gradually honed her cultivation to the late stage of level six.

Xiao Hei is stronger; its swordsmanship is unparalleled even in the ancient banyan forest.

Together with Snowflake Warrior and Swordsman Gri, they are known as the "Three Musketeers of the Netherworld".

They are all unique undead creatures, and their future achievements will be remarkable, but they will grow up slowly.

After reading the letter, Li Wei's guess was pretty much what he had expected.

My second brother has already reached the seventh ring senior level and is now aiming for the seventh ring perfection.

The Demon Fox Clan and the Demon Elephant Clan are doing quite well, having made a considerable amount of money in the eighth level of Hell over the years.

If Li Wei needs a large sum of money next time, his second brother will find a way to raise it.

Li Wei replied that he should do his best and not force himself, as he did not have a strong desire for things that could prolong life.

Everything must be done with the business of Hell in mind, and we must never let the [Heavenly Elephant] and the [Lord of the Demon Fox] become suspicious.

Along with the letter came some soul stones and materials.

Another year has passed in this quiet life.

On this day, in the Earth's core, the green light formed from Mana's will had completely assimilated the will of the Black Swamp world.

Without the help of Venerable Blood Vortex, it would have been impossible to complete in just over forty years.

This gave Li Wei a new path: to find a way to turn the plane rulers of the Council of Myriad Races against their will.

The reason they rebelled was often out of necessity; they rose up in rebellion for survival.

If Li Wei were to give them a way out, he could weaken the power of the Council of Ten Thousand Races and strengthen himself.

Of course, this matter involves many aspects and requires careful consideration.

Rumble.

The world trembled.

Countless creatures in the Black Swamp world gazed up at the sky.

Looking from the dark land, the black world begins to overlap with the illusory image of the ancient banyan fairyland.

With the blessing of the world's power, Mana is like a true divine tree, its towering form visible even from the deepest darkness of space.

Correct typos first, then make proper changes.
