Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 564 Immortal Realm Transformation, Code Name [Three Realms]! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

Arthur, the victorious king?

Upon hearing this name, Li Wei's heart stirred.

He knew that a spirit like the Death Knight must have been extraordinary in his past life.

But unexpectedly, it was ASICS.

He was the forger of the Victory Sword of Jinguang Cave.

This level-eight rare treasure has been of great help to Li Wei. It continues to play a vital role, continuously training more outstanding knights for the Twilight Temple.

Li Wei always felt that if Arthur hadn't fallen, he would most likely have reached level ten and become a figure of lasting fame.

Unexpectedly, even after death, this person could still attain level ten as a spirit. Moreover, it wasn't through reincarnation with their memories intact.

According to the Death Knight, he only learned that he was ASICS when he used his underworld authority to look back at his past life after reaching level ten.

After all the twists and turns, Li Wei was amazed to find himself meeting ASICS in this way, marveling at the irony of fate.

The Death Knight asked, "Have you heard of Arthur? I later checked, and the Sun Clan has long since vanished into the annals of time."

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. The extraordinary treasure forged by ASICS is now in my possession, putting it to good use," Li Wei said with a smile.

The Death Knight laughed heartily.

"Fate is truly wondrous!"

"Would you like to take back this treasure?"

"No, what does Arthur have to do with me in my past life? Besides, I have no use for that treasure. It can only shine and provide warmth in the Twilight Temple."

"Haha, that's true."

After exchanging pleasantries, the Death Knight bid farewell to Li Wei and left with Lady Bone. Lady Bone added with a smile, "Lord Li Wei, please come and visit sometime."

"Definitely," Li Wei said with a smile.

Seeing Li Wei chatting and laughing with the Death Knight, the Demon Fox Lord bowed again and smiled, "I'm also returning to the Ninth Floor. Lord Li Wei, you're welcome to visit me sometime. I'll certainly treat you well."

"it is good."

The powerful figures dispersed one by one.

Black King City has been restored to its former state, life must go on, and the war is not yet over. However, after today's battle, the demons have even more hope for the future.

Li Wei stayed in the city for a period of time, finally completing the forging of the [Robe of the Wind Emperor]. He thus achieved his first accomplishment in forging a rare artifact of the sun.

With some time still to go before the Underworld Market, Li Wei directly refined the artifact. As before, the artifact instantly entered his body and disappeared from his mind. Li Wei felt his mental power increase until it stagnated, then placed his hand on the Klein crystal ball.

[Mental Strength: 58123/74000]

……

"As expected, my mental strength has increased by 1000 points."

The minimum mental strength for a senior player in the Ninth Ring is 5.6, and Li Wei has unknowingly exceeded it by more than 2000 points.

He opened the proficiency panel. After the Ether Meditation Technique, there was already a whole list of Sun-level talents: Thunder God Body, Light God Body, Dark Body, Shadow Saint Body, Ice Emperor, Blue Emperor, Flame Emperor, Rock Emperor, Wind Emperor, and Hades Body!

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the nine-story Holy Tower, the phantom of a robe formed from a hurricane appeared on the stone platform, marking the collection of the fifth wondrous item. Now, only the [Crown of the Thunder Emperor] and the [Palace of the Golden Emperor] remain as the proofs of the elements!

The model of the innate spell [Wind Dragon Swiftness] features a hurricane bead in the dragon's mouth, spinning endlessly, signifying that this innate spell has been successfully modified. Li Wei arrived at the spell testing ground in the Nightmare World.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a semi-transparent wind dragon, soaring into the sky, dodging and weaving, strolling leisurely amidst countless attacks.

Moreover, wherever it passed, it left behind a network of crisscrossing hurricane paths, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, somewhat similar to the fire network of the Calamity Fire Demon Ape.

Li Wei's speed increased, and he swept forward with a whooshing sound, as countless hurricanes obeyed his command.

Ultimately, a towering, earth-shattering wall of wind was formed, hundreds of miles thick and three thousand miles wide. As Li Wei advanced, it annihilated everything in its path!

After the test, the main changes in Fenglongji were threefold:

Firstly, the speed is increased, becoming as swift as the wind, and the evasion value is maxed out.

Secondly, it can leave behind a long-lasting web of wind that restricts enemy movement and causes massive damage.

The third highlight is the Wind Wall, which advances as Li Wei moves, crushing everything in its path like a bulldozer while blocking massive amounts of damage.

Thus, of the nine talents, only Golden Dragon Break and Myriad Dragon Life remain to be optimized. The former can be optimized by refining the [Golden Emperor's Palace], while for the latter, Li Wei estimates that it will be possible to optimize it upon obtaining the [Elemental Proof] artifact, or upon advancing to the Legendary level.

After reaching the ninth ring, Wan Longsheng's power was already evident. In an instant, he generated four level-nine immortal spirit weapons, completely overwhelming all summoning spells currently on the market. If he were to undergo further transformation, he would undoubtedly become even more terrifying.

The opening day of the Underworld Market was fast approaching. On this day, within Black King City, numerous demons, led by the Demon Fox Queen and the Ghost Elephant Lord, came to bid farewell to Li Wei and the Hellfire Demon Sword. After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Wei and his second brother also said their farewells.

"Second brother, I have already received news of the brutal killing of the Emperor. You should cultivate diligently and reach the ninth ring as soon as possible. When that happens, I will take you to the Star Boundary to kill that bastard."

"Thank you so much, brother!"

The Purgatory Demon Sword is the kind of weapon that has been honed over centuries in hell, making it perfect in every aspect, from its willpower to its combat experience.

His initial talent was exceptional, and now, with Nora's help, his cultivation has truly progressed rapidly.

……

The River Styx surged, and the Underworld City arrived as promised.

As the sailboat descended, the black-armored giant, Di Gao, sat at the bow, waving to Li Wei. Beside him stood a blond swordsman, the most handsome man Li Wei had ever seen, surpassing even himself in handsomeness, a fact he had to admit.

Li Wei had never met this person before, but he had heard his name from the Earth Demon Lord during the recent Hell War. It seemed that he was the thirteenth Underworld Emperor.

The Underworld is teeming with powerful figures, and those of the Underworld Emperor's rank must be in the hundreds. To rank thirteenth among them is certainly extraordinary. Perhaps even on par with Grand Council Speaker Amon.

That simple, unadorned sword strike inflicted considerable injury on even a lord like the Earth Demon Lord on the 653rd floor, demonstrating its power.

Li Wei smiled and said:

"I have seen the Nine Deaths Swordsman."

The Nine Deaths Swordsman nodded slightly. He said softly, "I had already heard of you from Digo long before you became famous. To have grown to this level in just a thousand years is truly a formidable achievement."

"You flatter me, senior. I just had some good opportunities."

"There are countless opportunities, but only one in ten seizes them. A few days ago, the Abyss plotted to ambush the Demon Fox Lord, and it was thanks to your intervention that Hell suffered significant losses. On behalf of the Underworld, I express my gratitude to you."

"Now the Underworld and Nora are allies who watch out for each other and help each other. It is only right that I help Hell. If my fellow Nora people encounter a crisis, I believe my fellow Underworld people will also lend a helping hand. This is my intention."

"Indeed, the factors behind this bloody battle in the abyss, as well as the abyss's determination, are unlike any other before. Even the underworld needs to be dealt with with caution; we still have a long road ahead. In the days to come, I hope Lord Li Wei takes good care of himself and reaches level ten as soon as possible."

Thank you for your advice.

"Furthermore, there is one more matter... Due to the drastic changes in the Blood War situation, the forces of the Underworld need to be reorganized and redeployed, and several vicious incidents of demons besieging and attacking the Underworld City have occurred in various places. From now on, during the Blood War, the Underworld City will be temporarily closed. The reopening time is to be determined... I know that you need [Breath of the Dead], which is a [Netherworld Mother Stone], a mythical-grade material. You can consider it a superior form of Breath of Dead, a rare treasure formed from the essence of countless Breath of Dead from the depths of the Mother River over millions of years. It is quite precious even in the Underworld, so I am giving it to you. I hope you will make good use of it, as well as as a reward for your slaying of demons."

"I understand, thank you for your kind offer."

Li Wei raised his hand, and a pitch-black, wriggling object resembling sand or gravel appeared, radiating extraordinary death energy. Li Wei even saw many patterns resembling truth runes moving and disappearing on it, as if containing the ultimate truth of death.

Despite the vastness of the Mother River, materials like the Breath Soil and the Netherworld Mother Stone are not inexhaustible; they are all incredibly precious. As far as Li Wei knows, the Netherworld Mother Stone is a valuable material for refining supreme treasures, and its immense value needs no further explanation.

"Now that this matter is settled, I'll be leaving. We'll meet again sometime." The blond swordsman extended his fair, jade-like hand and smiled.

Until we meet again.

Li Wei shook hands with him to say goodbye and watched the sailboat sail away.

For him, the Underworld City was a thing of the past. With his strength now restored after the Blood War, he no longer needed to participate in it. Regardless, this journey had been of great help to him.

Therefore, even though he knew that the Underworld probably treated Nora as a tool, Levi's attitude towards her was still friendly.

In this dark world, having a stable and trustworthy ally is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Look at the other factions: the Astral Plane, the Nightmare, the Abyss… not one of them is normal.

After returning from Hell, Li Wei arrived at the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. He took out the [Netherworld Mother Stone] and placed it in the Ancient Banyan Netherworld Palace. He couldn't think of any other use for it at the moment, so he figured it was better to use it here to cultivate the Breath Soil and nurture the ecosystem of the cemetery for the dead.

As the mother stone was planted, the accompanying spirits Huang Quan and Funk immediately showed signs of surprise and joy. As a stone nurtured by the Supreme Mother River, even the slightest aura it emitted was enough to greatly benefit these spirits of the death faction.

Moreover, the Netherworld Mother Stone itself contains some vitality, and Li Wei always felt that if given enough time, it might even give birth to a Netherworld Emperor.

Of course, he didn't have time to wait for it to be born. So, if he had the chance, it would be better to refine it into a supreme treasure.

During this time, he researched the information and discovered that the [Netherworld Mother Stone] had another function that was particularly useful to him: it could create a self-contained ecosystem for the life and death cycle of a small to medium-sized world.

For example, if you place it in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, and a living being perishes there, when its soul is reincarnated, it can choose to be randomly reincarnated in a multi-dimensional plane, or it can choose to be reincarnated in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. Either way, it is a normal reincarnation, not a reincarnation with memories.

Therefore, if Leviathan dies of old age, it can be reincarnated within the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. If the timing is right, it might even be reborn as a true sub-dragon, or even a pure-blooded dragon. In short, the race that can be chosen for self-reincarnation depends on what's available within the existing ecosystem of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland.

Overall, the advantages of reincarnating within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm outweigh those of random reincarnation in a multiverse. Its potential ceiling may be lower than in a multiverse, but its floor is definitely higher. After all, multiverses are dominated by small and medium-sized worlds and various weak non-transcendent races, making choosing a good race as difficult as winning the lottery.

Moreover, as the Ancient Banyan Wonderland continues to upgrade, coupled with Li Wei's deliberate collection efforts, the number of high-level races living within it will inevitably increase, and their upper limits will continue to rise, rather than remaining static.

Rumble!

A deathly storm formed between heaven and earth, spreading outwards from the tombstones of the dead. Visibly, the area of ​​the Ancient Banyan Netherworld expanded again, eventually stopping at a radius of about ten thousand miles, resembling a small world of death.

After undergoing numerous transformations, the Ancient Banyan Wonderland is now about the size of a medium-sized world. The Netherworld Palace stands out conspicuously, like a giant black spot on the earth.

"If only we could have a system of three realms that interacts with each other and appears to be independent, just like in my previous life. This system is a bit too aesthetically pleasing."

Like a designer, Li Wei gazed at the earth below and murmured to himself.

The unsightly nature of the place is only one aspect. The number of extraordinary creatures and races living within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is increasing, creating a diverse and complex mix. The different races also have significantly different living environments; for example, the deathly aura of the Ancient Banyan Netherworld is harmful to many extraordinary creatures. Simply isolating them with magic arrays is not a long-term solution.

He hasn't really managed the Ancient Banyan Wonderland much, so now he needs to turn things around and give it a proper makeover.

With this in mind, he called Mana, who was playing mahjong.

"What is it, Lord?"

"...Let's get down to business, stop joking. As the ruler of this world, are you capable of reshaping its form?"

"Of course, but if the changes are too drastic, it will take enough time to adapt, otherwise it could easily affect the existing ecosystem."

"I want to change the existing structure and transform the Ancient Banyan Wonderland into a parallel ecological community of three realms, which can be divided into the realms of [Heaven], [Earth], and [Humanity]."

Those at level six and above reside in the Celestial Realm, while those below level six live in the Human Realm. The Earth Realm is the dwelling place of the spirits of the Ancient Banyan Tree's Netherworld. There are corresponding connecting passages between the Celestial, Earth, and Human Realms for the convenience of those who wish to travel between them.

Of course, some necessary constraints and rules must also be established to prevent damage to the ecosystem of the three realms. For example, beings from the celestial realm are not allowed to spar or fight in the mortal realm. The same applies to the terrestrial realm.

In addition, to encourage people in the human realm to strive for growth and cultivation, some necessary "ascension rewards" can be given to those who ascend to the celestial realm.

Those who can become famous throughout the Three Realms and command respect in their region can become heroic spirits, reside in the Netherworld, and assume certain positions to manage the order of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

... "

Li Wei offered many ideas, and Mana listened quietly. After Li Wei finished speaking, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she smiled, saying:

"It seems like a very interesting plan."

"Yes, let's get started."

"Alright, let's get the design plans done first."

Mana was in high spirits, finally free from the hassle of playing mahjong. She quickly summoned Blood Vortex Venerable, Martha, and other high-ranking members of the secret realm to discuss important matters. The fairyland transformation project, codenamed "Three Realms," was being prepared in full swing.

One month later, on the eve of the ancient pagoda's opening.

Li Wei was cultivating by the Small Stone Pool when a beam of green light fell to the ground—it was Mana. Generally speaking, the area within a hundred miles of the Small Stone Pool was off-limits to unauthorized personnel; only a few people, like Mana, had such privileges and could enter at will.

"The design drawings are ready."

"Let me see."

Li Wei received a transparent crystal model shaped like an oval egg. It was divided into three layers, with a giant emerald pillar in the center piercing through the three realms—this was Mana.

"The barriers between the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man require a large amount of fallen star remains to build artificial crystal walls. This will separate them without affecting the normal operation of the Immortal Realm itself. In addition, this material is also needed to build the [South Heavenly Gate] spatial passage leading to the Heavenly Realm and the [Gate of Hell] spatial passage leading to the Netherworld," Mana explained.

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Given the current prosperity of the White Dragon business circle, as long as you have money and resources, the Starfall Remains are not a problem. Even the appearance frequency of the Star Spirit Heart is much higher than before, and some alien powerhouses who have been wandering in different planes for a long time have this item.

"In the center of the celestial realm, I plan to set up a cluster of floating islands where the residents of the celestial realm can live. The largest island at the very center will be the location of the celestial palace, which will maintain order in the celestial realm. It will be mainly composed of the Heavenly Dragon Generals of the Eight Divisions of Dragons."

Fighting is prohibited on the island, but martial arts practice, sparring, and competitions are allowed in the void outside the island to prevent everyone's combat skills from deteriorating. Of course, those with excessively high cultivation levels can only train in the Nightmare World.

The human realm is the main body of the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, retaining its existing layout. Except for the level six powerhouses who guard the rare treasures within the blessed lands, all others have gone to the Celestial Realm. A branch of the Dragon Palace is also established in the human realm to maintain order among the hybrid dragon race. At the same time, separate kingdoms have been established for other extraordinary beings and alien races to facilitate their lives.

The entire Ancient Banyan Netherworld has been relocated to the mortal realm. At a fixed time each year, the [Gate of Hell] and [South Heaven Gate] open to host the [Three Realms Martial Arts Competition], promoting exchange and competition among participants. Those who excel in the competition receive appropriate rewards.

……

"Lord of the Palace, how is it? Basically, everything is done according to your instructions, hehehe." Mana looked smug.

"Excellent, this is exactly the Three Realms ecosystem I want. Let's begin the transformation according to this plan," Li Wei said.

"Yes, sir! Let's get to work!"

Mana returned to the ancient banyan tree, and the loudspeaker began broadcasting and making arrangements throughout the fairy realm, instantly stirring up the atmosphere in all parts of the fairy realm.

Everyone will be busy from now on. According to Mana's plan, the project must be completed within a century.

……

The Dark Tower.

The fifth level, the Land of Kane.

Returning to this familiar place, what I saw were rows of wizard towers standing amidst the fields and forests, and various schools of wizarding development. The Kane wizarding system, after taking the best and discarding the worst, was basically integrated into the wizarding system for the convenience of inheritance and teaching.

Kane Academy, the largest wizarding organization on the continent of Aiolos, comprises more than ten factions, including Earth, Fire, Feng Shui, and others, each guarded by a Magic King or a Elemental Soul Wizard. Some thriving factions even have multiple Magic Kings.

Body tempering, spells, potions, magic arrays, weapon crafting, and even the creation of rare treasures all have corresponding traditions. Even card crafting has begun to develop on a small scale. The reason why it cannot grow rapidly is twofold: firstly, the Dark Ancient Tower isolates it, making the power of the Myriad Manifestations Magic Cards less than that of the outside world; secondly, Li Wei's own strength is insufficient to support too many people.

After his legendary status, possessing power comparable to that of the gods, he will be able to be used by more people, thus solidifying the Fourth Art.

In addition, over the years, he has also taken the time to upgrade and iterate the cards, optimize their casting efficiency, and continue to reduce costs.

Unbeknownst to many, under Li Wei's rule, Kane's strength had surpassed that of his former days as the Supreme God of Magic. Humanity's power was at its peak; the previously rampant Black Beast race was now firmly suppressed, and humans had even begun to establish targeted no-hunting zones, giving them opportunities to multiply and grow stronger.

The northern barbarians and the southern demons have also developed quite well. Their main role is still to hone the human race of the Kane Lands. Historical experience tells Li Wei that people can't live too smoothly either.

In the end, he led 13 promising talents, including two Child of the Elements, out of the fifth floor and directly to the seventh floor.

Time flies, and it is now the 1000th anniversary of the Apocalypse for the human race in Runeterra on the Saint Laurent continent. A thousand years have passed, and the Gray-White Academy has grown into the most powerful organization on the seventh level. Its leader, the Flame Wolf Saint, is currently at the mid-stage of level eight and is steadily improving; his potential is to reach level nine. Another level eight Saint is from the Earth School, also born in this century.

Saint Flame Wolf inquired about the situation of Saint Water Dragon, who had been taken outside the boundary, from Li Wei. Li Wei told him helplessly that Saint Water Dragon had failed to advance to the eighth level for the second time and was now a professor at the academy, enjoying his retirement. This made Saint Flame Wolf sigh with regret.

In recent years, the number of Level 6 Saints or Spirit Wizards in Runeterra has reached 42, and Level 7 Powerhouses number 9. Even in Nora, this would be considered a top-tier organization.

The health preservation methods and martial arts passed down by Li Wei are now widely known. The most outstanding among these people will be selected as knightly prodigies, and will undergo more advanced bloodline transplantation and modification, truly embarking on the path of a knight!

The Mountain and Sea Beast Garden also yielded good results. They found some extraordinary creatures and dragons that were not found in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, all of which were taken away by Li Wei.

As for the Three Realms and Four Lands, Li Wei, as usual, took a batch of promising alien talents with him to train. This would both enrich the gene pool of the Ancient Dragon Continent and slightly curb the growth of these alien races. After harvesting the first eight levels, he arrived at the ninth level to begin a new round of adventure.

……

The Dark Land.

The Demon faction.

One after another, colossal abyssal wells began to emerge, from which emerged towering figures. Leading them was the Earth Demon Lord who had ambushed Li Wei in Hell, accompanied by three level-ten demons.

Among them are two gargoyle lords: the lord of the 168th floor of the Abyss, [Azure Gang Demon King Gasu], and the lord of the 400th floor of the Abyss, [Gallant King Kant]. The last one is [Lady of Desire Melnet], who looks no different from a human, but in reality, her true form is a [Demon], and her abilities are similar to those of a succubus.

The Wind Demon Lord, leading a group of powerful demons, came to greet them, saying:

"Great! That bastard Sulgard is more trouble than he's worth. It's all up to you, Valerid."

The Earth Demon Lord gazed at Nora ahead, his expression aloof and confident:

"I'm here to teach those wizards how to be human. A bloody war against the spellcaster civilization can't be done without us gargoyles."

Although Pazuzu inwardly scoffed, she still flattered him, saying, "That's right! With you here, Emon and his gang won't be able to act so arrogantly."

……

The Supreme Council.

Amon said with a solemn expression:

"Another formidable foe has arrived on the demon side, the Earth Demon Lord! Its strength is similar to that of Pazuzu, but it possesses magic resistance second only to the Amethyst Saint. Everyone should be careful when you are out there. In the last bloody battle, one of our legendary wizards fell at the hands of this demon."

The matriarch Pandora, who had lived for countless ages, said:

"Looking back at the history of the multiverse, the bloody wars in which the four Demon Lords appeared at the same time, except when facing the colossal world, all ended in victory for the Abyss. Now that the three Demon Lords have appeared, the situation is more severe than ever before."

The Underworld Hand, in charge of the war in the Azure Heaven World, said:

"If the Knight system or the Body Refining Wizard were to mature, it would be fine, dealing with gargoyles would be a piece of cake. But apart from the Twilight Palace Master, no one else can grow up in a short time. For now, we can only borrow people from the Azure Sky World."

Emon nodded and said:

"This is the only way. We will send three legendary wizards to replace the three barbarian lords. In addition, we must find a way to communicate with the will of Heaven and merge the Heavenly World as soon as possible, so that all the barbarian lords can join the Supreme Council. That way, our forces will be stronger than ever before."

Ultimately, the High Council decided that three legendary wizards—Mr. Silver, the Queen of Wind, and the Holy Lord of Earth—would go to support the barbarian army on the battlefield. The barbarians, aware of the gravity of the situation, decisively dispatched three level-ten powerhouses—the Python God Barbarian Lord, the Turtle God Barbarian Lord, and the Eagle God Barbarian Lord—to support the Nora battlefield.

……

The vast world.

High in the sky, a burly man wielding a steel rod brought it down, shattering the void for tens of thousands of miles in front of him. Under the intense pressure, a mid-stage level nine fire demon's body was reduced to fragments and dissipated, its demonic soul being taken away by the emerging River Styx.

Mangang was slightly out of breath, his eyes blazing. As the strongest genius of the Ape God Tribe in tens of thousands of years, he had reached the peak of the ninth level for over a thousand years, and had condensed four different types of soldiers within his body.

It had long prepared to ascend to the heavens and challenge the will of the heavens. But as time passed, no matter how it called out, the will of the heavens never responded again.

Even a prodigy like it could only watch in despair as it grew older day by day, and as its people were slaughtered by those hateful extraterrestrial demons in the bloody battle!

It slaughtered demons with madness; below the Barbarian Lord, its achievements were unmatched, dominating the contemporary era, thus venting its resentment. Whenever it made the slightest progress, it would invoke the will of Heaven, praying for the celestial path to descend.

On this day, it completed the condensation of the fifth type of soldier. After preparing the ceremony, it once again raised its long staff to the sky.

Where is the Heavenly Road?

A mournful sound echoed throughout the universe, killing a group of low-ranking demons. After a long while, the heavens remained unchanged. Mangang felt disappointed, but his gaze remained resolute.

"I will awaken the will of Heaven!"

Boom!

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed in the sky. Faintly, a roar from the ages resounded, and in the center of the heavens appeared a pupil with a diameter of ten thousand miles, terrifying lightning swirling around it, and a vast, ancient song resounding.

Mangang's eyes widened in shock, then in ecstasy.

"It is the Eye of Heaven! I have awakened the Will of Heaven!" it cried hastily. "I wish to ascend to Heaven! I beg Heaven to send down the Heavenly Path!"

The giant pupil flickered, and black cracks spread from the whites of its eyes, emanating a chilling demonic aura. More than a dozen terrifying level 10 auras emanated from it.

"Child...I'm trapped...Save me."

How could Mangang not understand that the will of Heaven is not dormant, but trapped by the abyss and now corrupted, perhaps on the verge of collapse!

Perhaps it was because I called out to it repeatedly that it was awakened and manifested itself, conveying such a message. A moment later, the giant eye disappeared again without a trace.

Mangang flew towards the Itachi tribe. For so long, the will of Heaven had protected the barbarians like a mother; now, all barbarians must unite!

Save the heavens!

……

Ancient Dragon Continent.

The land of the open sea.

As the calamity slowly dissipated, a blue figure descended from the sky, exuding a sharp, level-nine aura. It was covered in blue scales and had six thick arms; it was none other than the Blue Demon Lockes. It held a broken piece of golden armor in its hands, looking somewhat regretful.

"It's all my fault for being too weak. I even managed to break the clan's treasure that the master gave me while I was undergoing my tribulation. I wonder if the White Dragon Merchant Guild can repair it."

Not long after, Qing Gui, who had recently advanced to the mid-stage of level nine, also arrived from the Soren Continent, laughing heartily: "Great! We brothers have both reached level nine! The Qinglin Clan is becoming more and more prosperous."

"Brother, can this magical artifact be repaired?"

"Sure, don't worry, I'll have a friend fix it for you and return it to the organization's treasury. It can be used by others to overcome tribulations in the future."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

Not long after, Qingmo also joined the Nora Council. As of now, including the elves, there are 91 level nine alien powerhouses!

……

The Dark Land.

A giant azure dragon, its body resembling a sword with sharp angles, shattered the void and crashed near a plane of death.

It growled in a low voice, licking its wounds. It was an adult, but its aura was unusually weak, not even reaching level nine, only at the peak of level eight.

To escape the pursuit of the powerful gods, it had exhausted all its strength and used its life-consuming trump card to finally escape.

It was the dragon slave, Mother Sword King Dragon Naminia, that the Fifth God General had previously auctioned off at the Giant Head Star auction.

It continues to heal its wounds, and as a dragon with an affinity for metal, this world is quite suitable. Although dead, its metal elemental power remains abundant.

It transformed into a ray of light, burrowed into the earth's core, and then hibernated using a secret technique. When it awakens, it may be able to return to level nine.

Beyond the desolate world, a shadow sweeping across the dark land descends, and the magnificent ten-story ancient tower silently appears.

……

Six months later.

The Dark Tower, Ninth Floor.

Li Wei also learned about Qingmo's advancement through the Twilight Round Table, and he was overjoyed. The Seven-Colored Scale Clan was developing very well. Once he had the opportunity to collect the Black Scale, Red Scale, and Golden Scale Clan, his mission would be complete.

The Purple Scale Clan is currently in decline. The previous disaster wiped out all their strong members. Although they recovered a lot after coming to the Ancient Dragon Continent, they only have eight level six members and none at level seven. The road to becoming stronger is long and arduous.

"Woof woof woof."

The barking of the gold-hunting dogs could be heard, clearly indicating that they had found something good. Li Wei quickly brought Ah Jin and went down into the tunnel dug by the dogs.

Before long, Li Wei's figure appeared in front of a natural mine. Before him was a dazzling white expanse, which was none other than the Taishi Mine.

Li Wei moved around, beginning the survey and measurement. His initial estimate was that the mineral reserves in this mine should be between 300 billion and 500 billion, and that they were scattered across a radius of 100,000 li.

It would be impossible to mine and refine the ore in a short time. Li Wei could only do his best to cut the vein open with his sword energy, then use the space of the Wizard Tower and the Ancient Banyan Wonderland to store it and mine it slowly when he got back.

"This money is inexhaustible, it's simply impossible to spend it all..."

Even so, Li Wei's hands did not stop. After a period of time, ravines and sinkholes appeared on the original site, all Li Wei's masterpieces. He used the magic of "changing the sea and turning the land into fields" to basically restore the landscape and reduce the damage to the ecological environment.

Next, following the gold-hunting hound, Li Wei discovered several more small Taishi mines, with a total reserve of around 200 billion.

In addition, there were more than ten elemental metal veins of level six or above, and a small pile of level nine ores. He didn't even bother to look at anything below level six.

On the contrary, Ah Jin hadn't had any surprises for Li Wei lately. This made the little mouse eager to find traces of rare and precious treasures.

A month later.

The hound found another piece of amethyst formed from the fallen Amethyst Clan crystal. It was at the peak of level eight and of very good quality.

A Jin was anxious and used all his skills to find the dragon vein and locate the acupoint. A few days later, he led Li Wei to a rugged cliff, where they saw a crooked tree with a shape like a welcoming pine tree growing stubbornly, bearing seven plump and fragrant fruits.

Li Wei's eyes lit up with joy.

"This is a 70,000-year-old red pine blood fruit."

The Korean pine, a magical plant similar to the cycad but of higher quality, matures and transforms once every ten thousand years, then produces red pine blood fruits every hundred years. Every ten thousand years, the number of fruits in each cycle increases by one. Therefore, this tree is at least seventy thousand years old.

The older the fruit, the better its medicinal properties. A fruit aged 70,000 years is already a level eight rare and precious material, while one aged over 100,000 years is considered legendary.

Blood fruit can strengthen the body and improve physical condition. If an ordinary person ate it, they would be born with superhuman strength and be able to fight giant beasts. Of course, there's a higher probability that their body would be overwhelmed by the energy it contains.

Therefore, it is best for knights and wizards to take it, especially body-refining wizards, as it can improve their physique and generate [Red Pine Runes] within their bodies.

"Take it."

Li Wei used his sword energy to cut the entire cliff face and moved it to the Ancient Banyan Wonderland. Only the smooth, flat cut surface remained, thus forming a plain.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

Akin stood atop the gold-hunting hound's head, barking triumphantly.

"Not bad, it's somewhat useful," Li Wei praised.

Ah Jin was very pleased and worked even harder.

Next, Li Wei reaped a series of rewards. Not only were there medicinal herbs and rare treasures, but also many rare black beasts, sub-dragon species, and hybrid dragons.

Akin and the emotionless magical summon, the Gold Hound, secretly vie for power in an arms race that brings Li Wei immense benefits and makes him extremely happy.

Three months.

The hound scored another point and arrived at a place rich in gold elements. It stood out from its surroundings, and Levi guessed it was a newly formed convergence point. He immediately began digging and, sure enough, discovered many rare ores.

Suddenly, Li Wei's expression changed slightly. He sensed a dragon's might awakening underground. He swung his sword fiercely, and the terrifying sword energy split the earth in two, forming a ravine thousands of miles deep.

Roar! A dragon's roar echoed, and a streak of azure light, like a sword, hurtled towards Li Wei at incredible speed. He easily slapped it aside with a palm strike. It was an azure sword-king dragon, its expression listless, as if it were about to die.

Sword King Dragon's eyes widened in shock, seemingly unable to believe that he, a dignified pure-blooded dragon, had been sent flying by a single palm strike from the man before him.

"So it was you."

"Have you seen me before?" Seeing that the other party had no intention of killing him, Sword King Dragon also withdrew his aura and looked at Li Wei nervously.

"At the auction on Giant Head Star, how did you escape the enslavement of the gods?"

"Are you the Lord of Twilight Palace?"

"Exactly."

"My name is Naminia, and I am a Stegosaurus. I have heard that the Lord of Twilight Palace has many dragon guardians by his side, and I hope that the Lord will take me in."

This was the first time Li Wei had encountered a dragon actively seeking refuge. It seemed that his reputation as the master of the Dragon Palace was beginning to take root.

"Alright, this is the Dark Ancient Tower, there is no danger here. I will heal your injuries first, and then take you away from here."

Sword King Dragon is a speed-type dragon, which makes it a perfect ingredient for the Black Emperor Dragon's cultivation elixir, a result that comes without any effort on its part.

Li Wei's palm emanated the Azure Emperor Dragon's power, capable of unleashing the power of all things, flowing into the Sword King Dragon's body to heal its various injuries, large and small. He also removed some difficult-to-detect tracking marks left by the gods within its body. After this comprehensive treatment, the Sword King Dragon was reborn. It prostrated itself on the ground and said:

"Thank you so much, Lord Palace Master, for saving my life! I am willing to follow you by your side forever!"

"You're welcome. Your injuries have almost healed, but you're still a bit weak and need a long period of rest. I'll take you to a safe place. It won't be long before you return to the ninth level."

"OK!"

After settling the King Sword Dragon in, Li Wei thought he should visit Matthew, the Dragon Swordsman, after he left to arrange the marriage and perhaps even borrow a seed. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Naminia bear him a litter of King Sword Dragon babies?

Ancient Banyan Tree Wonderland.

The dragons warmly welcomed the arrival of the tenth pureblood dragon of the Dragon Palace. Izora, also a mother dragon, was overjoyed, expressing her gratitude for the arrival of her good sister.

Naminia, who had suffered for years, was terrified by so many dragons. It was as if she were in a dream. Finally, she could live a good life.

"That's great, I've unearthed a pureblood dragon while mining."

Li Wei was in a great mood.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Ajin perched on Li Wei's head, barking. The ancient tower was about to close, and realizing its loot had been completely outmatched by the hunting dogs, it urged Li Wei to hurry to the treasure location it had sensed.

"Alright, alright, next place."
