Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 578 [Earth Mother's Energy] and [Mortal Circle]! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe)

The ancient pagoda has nine stories.

Li Wei has no immediate plans to release Ritter from his Black Emperor enslavement. This man isn't actually bad; he was only after money and didn't kill anyone.

If it were Li Wei, and he were in such an unknown world full of treasures, he would most likely do the same thing, and might even do it more ruthlessly.

However, Ritter will still be needed as a "guide" to reach the Nararian civilization in the future, and to prevent any unexpected problems from arising during this period, we can only ask him to make do.

Thinking about the Abyss's massive invasion of the multiverse, Li Wei felt a sense of urgency... He feared that the Abyss would destroy Nerarian before he could.

As for the Golden Holy Realm, he is not worried for the time being.

Before Diqi left, this civilization had not yet been invaded by the Abyss. Moreover, it was powerful, with a strong figure like the Golden Will, who was no weaker than the Will of Heaven, guarding it. It was impossible for the Abyss to take it over in a short time.

While treasure hunting, Li Wei also gained a deeper understanding of their path as beast tamers through Ritter, and he had some ideas for improving the spirit communication system.

As a former companion of Sauron, he certainly wouldn't treat the Narrian civilization the same way he treated the Golden Sanctuary.

After returning to Guta, he planned to discuss with the High Council the possibility of taking a legendary wizard with him to Nalarian for an on-site investigation. This way, he would have the leverage to negotiate with those two level-ten powerhouses.

As for the Golden Holy Realm, this overly aggressive civilization is actually similar to the early, barbaric expansion of Nora.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. With the ambition of the Golden Will, it's impossible for it to integrate with Nora... and it could backfire at any time.

Li Wei felt that it was best to eliminate them.

Of course, all of the above were just his excuses. In reality, these Golden Clan members were all walking embodiments of truth and wonder. If they were to be digested and absorbed, the Ancient Dragon Continent and the Nora Civilization would surely reach new heights.

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests.

After comparing beast tamers and spirit mediums, Li Wei discovered the biggest difference between the two: a beast tamer does not have only one designated beast taming slot.

The five realms of Beast Tamers: Professional, Master, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical.

At the starting point of the Beast Taming Path, a Beast Tamer has one designated Beast Taming slot. Upon advancing to the [Master Beast Tamer] rank, a second slot is unlocked. Advancing to the [Legendary Beast Tamer] rank unlocks a third slot.

In other words, a Beast Tamer who reaches level nine can actually possess three natal Beasts.

Similar to the realm of the extraordinary, Beast Tamers divide the potential of their beasts into five levels: Common, Elite, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical.

If we compare them to the dragon race, the first two realms are hybrid dragons, followed by sub-dragons, and then legendary and mythical dragons.

For a beast tamer, when they are weak, having one elite beast tamer that can smoothly transition them to around level five is sufficient.

If they are lucky and born into a good family, they may encounter their own epic or even legendary incomplete creatures before reaching their strength bottleneck.

At this point, the Beast Tamer has already activated their second innate ability, allowing them to replace their tamed beasts with those of higher potential, thus advancing to the next level.

That's how it was with Ritter. His first tamed beast was just an ordinary [Mountain Giant Ape], with a potential ceiling of level five peak. But after reaching level five, he explored the [Mountain and Sea Secret Realm], the greatest legacy left to Nararian by the Ancestor.

Once a beast tamer has chosen their destined beast, they cannot change it for the rest of their lives, except for any additional beasts they acquire.

Although Beastmasters gain power through taming beasts, they cannot share in the beasts' long lifespans. Therefore, in the improved Beastmaster path developed by Nerarian, Beastmasters can actively terminate their contracts by permanently losing a life-bound contract slot and paying a partial price; the extraordinary creatures themselves will not perish.

This is extremely advantageous for extraordinary creatures, as they gain faster growth rates by attaching themselves to beast tamers, thus expanding their population. They also don't need to worry about being affected by the short lifespan of short-lived species.

In this respect, they are far more advanced than psychic wizards.

As far as Li Wei knew, the psychic wizards believed that their fates were intertwined with those of their beasts, sharing both glory and misfortune, and their minds were in sync.

They completely integrate their summoned beasts into their bodies. The advantage is that the two are in perfect harmony, making it easier to unleash their combat power. The disadvantage is that it's unfair to extraordinary beings; many species with high potential naturally won't accept this kind of life-bound contract, which is one of the reasons why the spiritualist school has never really developed.

Before his demise, the Ancestor broke the contracts with all his natal beasts and sent all the resources and extraordinary creatures he had collected throughout his life into a secret realm independent of the world of Nararian, to bless future generations.

This former companion of Sauron should have reached the late stage of the tenth level, and the wealth he left behind would naturally be astonishing. The secret realm is vast and boundless, teeming with rare birds and beasts, and even legendary creatures occasionally appear.

Essentially, this is a low-budget version of the Dark Tower.

To enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, aside from the once-in-a-century [Mountain and Sea Festival] when the secret realm opens, the rest of the time it all depends on personal luck.

Li Wei analyzed that the Imperial Ancestor must have left behind a screening mechanism. It's impossible for everyone to enter; it's highly likely he learned it from Sauron.

In short, throughout history, many ordinary beast tamers have relied on the [Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas] to soar to great heights, change their fate, and achieve lasting fame.

One-third of the current 24 Heavenly Kings obtained their opportunities within the secret realm, while the other two-thirds relied on their families or adventures in multiple dimensions.

Ritter was also a chosen one. He entered the secret realm for the first time after reaching level five, and he was instantly captivated, obtaining the juvenile form of the legendary creature, the Purple Lightning Heart Ape.

After that, he made a remarkable comeback, advancing rapidly to the peak of level eight, becoming a strong candidate for the 25th Heavenly King.

If he successfully advances to the legendary Beastmaster, he will unlock his third destiny slot.

At this point, one can begin to select their own mythical creature. Of course, most legendary beast tamers simply choose another legendary creature.

Because mythical creatures are so rare, the chance of a beast tamer encountering a young one is close to zero, given their lifespan. How can they possibly control them?

But having three natal positions is indeed a genius innovation.

Wizards have traditionally focused on self-cultivation and the study of earth, fire, and feng shui. Their understanding of methods that rely on external aids is indeed quite superficial.

However, in today's era, facing a more severe multidimensional situation, diversified paths and systems are an inevitable choice.

If this fusion is successful, both the psychic and insect schools will undergo a complete transformation, shedding their inferior status.

With Viken's example as a precedent, Levi, who originally didn't intend to spy on other people's reincarnations, had Leon try to look up [Nerarian].

This was not a legendary wizard, so he couldn't reincarnate and rebuild his power; it was just an ordinary reincarnation. The final result showed that this life's Nalarian was merely a mortal, nothing special. However, the civilization he left behind has flourished and survived to this day, so in a sense, his will endures.

When Sauron fell, his companions went their separate ways. Now, many years have passed, and how many still bear his mark?

Along the way, Li Wei asked the Round Table for the names of some of the companions it remembered, and had Lyon look them all up.

The results of their reincarnations were also less than satisfactory. If they left behind no civilizational legacy, it means that unique paths have vanished into dust. It's unknown whether Sauron left any contingency plans for this.

Sauron intends to use the multiverse as a chessboard, with Nora as a piece, to gather former losers and allies together, to challenge the established order of the four giants formed over the ages, and to leave a lasting mark on history.

"If fate allows, one day, my companions will appear in Nora in various forms. This is the only chance."

With that thought in mind, Li Wei continued his treasure hunt.

……

More than half a year later.

The gold-hunting hound stopped, its nose twitching, searching for any possible hiding place of rare metal ore.

Ah Jin, standing next to him, looked nervous.

Oh no, has that kid found something good again? In the past six months, under its guidance, Li Wei has only found 165 Truth Treasures!

Not enough! Absolutely not enough!

The owner isn't even interested in such a rare item!

His cold, stern lips didn't even reveal a hint of a smile.

Of the 165 rare items, 23 are at the Morning Star level, 5 at the Bright Moon level, and 1 at the Sun level. One-third of them are Sequence rare items.

Levi, the Gondorian Triumphs, and Elena have no need for them, but now that the organization's new generation of geniuses has grown up, putting these artifacts in the organization's treasury should solve the urgent needs of Aya, Link, and the other Supernovas.

The Sun-shaped artifact is a non-sequence artifact of the metal faction, the Bronze Throne. Its effects are quite good. Victor is currently at the advanced level of the eighth ring and is not far from the perfection of the eighth ring. Refining this artifact should allow him to advance.

The Qi Sect is all about cultivating the mind. After reaching the eighth level, Victor's mental state is also very resilient, and he doesn't need to worry about the instability of his mental strength.

Aside from rare items, the other finds were mostly rare plants and creatures, but none of them reached legendary status, so they were not worth mentioning.

In fact, Li Wei was quite satisfied with these gains, but he couldn't show it, so as to motivate A Jin and improve the efficiency of the treasure hunt.

"Woof woof woof!"

The gold-hunting dog suddenly barked.

Li Wei's expression shifted; something good must have arrived.

He followed the hound down the tunnel, and along the way there were many light pink earth element metal ores, all below level six. He pulled them out along with the veins and placed them in the blessed land within the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to continue nurturing these metals.

After an unknown amount of time, he arrived at an underground world. The narrow and cramped environment suddenly opened up, and a shocking scene came into view. He saw a withered tree that was a full ninety thousand feet tall, filling the entire space, desolate and lifeless.

On the ground were layers of pale pink rock. The hunting dog barked excitedly and circled around Levi; this was its discovery.

"This is some kind of earth elemental metal of level six or above. Such a large quantity is amazing! But I've never seen this metal before; it's quite strange."

Li Wei frowned. He guessed that this ore might be formed from the dead branches and leaves of a giant tree that had accumulated over the years. This was also the most common way for elemental metals to be formed, similar to coal in his previous life.

He approached the giant tree, feeling its rough bark. A faint scent, similar to the cherry blossoms of his past life, lingered in the air. Thinking of this, he called Mana, who was playing mahjong, out and asked:

"Is this the sacred tree?"

Mana, who had been engrossed in her cards, widened her eyes upon seeing the giant tree, and murmured in a daze:

"Yes, this is a divine tree... Although I've never seen it before, I suspect it's a descendant of the Origin Divine Tree, and it might be the remains of the Cherry Blossom Divine Tree."

"Sakura Ancestor..."

Li Wei remembered that the will of the heavens had once been to the [Sakura Ancestor World]. Could this underground world be the place where the fragments of the Sakura Ancestor World once converged?

It seems that Sakura Ancestor has been dead for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, but because of the body of the Divine Tree, his 90,000-foot-tall corpse is almost immortal.

Such a magnificent and spectacular thing has become a fossil. Li Wei sighed inexplicably and said, "Let's look around. You can also see if there's anything useful."

"Alright, it's been dead for so long, the power of the divine tree should have dissipated by now. However, this corpse itself is a level ten earth-type divine object. Once you reach the tenth level of the Wizard Tower and refine it into it, its effects will be stronger than all the rare woods you've obtained before. It's definitely a top-quality treasure among treasures," Mana said.

After saying that, the two began their search in the underground world.

Li Wei summoned the Rainbow Sword Master and said, "Use your sword energy to cut open all the mineral veins within a thousand miles of the giant tree."

Upon receiving the order, the Rainbow Sword Master immediately began working diligently.

After searching for a long time, Li Wei found nothing of use. However, a cry of surprise suddenly came from Mana's direction:

"Li Wei, come quick and take a look, there's something here."

When Li Wei arrived, Mana was confronting a deer-like creature about ten feet tall. Its body was covered with cherry blossom-like patterns and was entirely pink. On its head were two antlers that resembled cherry blossom branches, radiating vitality and displaying the strange phenomenon of flowers blooming in an instant and life and death fading away.

This deer was not large, but it exuded the aura of a late-stage level eight cultivator and even possessed a somewhat sacred quality, like a mountain god in primitive religions.

"This...this is a Sakuramon."

Li Wei recognized him.

One of the four materials for Elena to advance her Candle Dragon bloodline is a bloodline crystal containing the bloodline of the Cherry Beast. Legend has it that this creature likes to go to places with World Trees, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. Moreover, the aura emanating from the cherry blossom-like antlers is exactly the same as that of the dead Cherry Blossom Ancestor Tree.

Li Wei asked:

"Mana, do you think it's possible that Sakura Ancestor isn't dead?"

Mana said:

"It should be dead, but its antlers do contain the power of the Divine Tree. I suspect that the Sakura Beast accidentally consumed the Root of Origin left behind by the Sakura Ancestor and transferred this power... Some World Trees can regenerate through this method."

"What do you mean?"

"If this continues, one day the entire body of the Sakura Beast will be woodenized by the power of the divine tree left behind by the Sakura Ancestor. Then a new Sakura Divine Tree will burst through its body, using its flesh and blood to regenerate and accelerate the early growth process of the World Tree. It may start as a level eight or nine World Tree, unlike me, who still has to grow slowly."

"As expected... myths and legends sound romantic and beautiful, but reality is cruel. I thought the Sakura Beast and the Sakura Tree had some kind of harmonious symbiotic relationship. In the end, it was still a ruthless parasitism and devouring. Sigh."

"Actually, the myths and legends are not wrong. The legendary creatures, such as the Sakura Beasts, should be the familiars created by the Sakura God Tree using its power of [creation]... In other words, without the Sakura God Tree, there would be no Sakura Beasts."

"I remember you said that you currently lack the power of [Creation]. Why don't we save this Cherry Beast and absorb the power of the divine tree within its antlers?"

Is this a good idea?

"Isn't...it bad?"

Mana hesitated, after all, her nature was different from Li Wei's. Although she had become much more "evil" under Li Wei's subtle influence over the years.

"You're already an old thing, it's time to give way to the newcomers. Instead of wasting time reborn, you should focus on helping us grow stronger. Constantly spreading your power like this, when will you ever be able to contend with the colossal world?!" Li Wei declared righteously, adding, "Besides, how can you bear to let such an adorable little deer die?"

Looking at the innocent-looking Sakura Beast, Mana suddenly realized that it made sense.

"Okay, I'll try to communicate with it, just in case it's unwilling."

Sakuramon cannot speak human language. They are specialized creatures whose purpose in being born and reproducing may be to one day allow the Sakura God Tree to "resurrect."

While Mana was communicating with the Sakura Beast, Li Wei had already absorbed the 90,000-foot-tall giant tree, along with the mineral veins and foundations beneath it, into the Eternal Star Abyss. Once he reached Legendary status, the materials for advancing to the Eternal Star Abyss would be complete.

Beautiful!

As expected of the ninth floor, it has such priceless divine objects that are comparable to legendary treasures. This trip has already made a fortune.

Thinking of this, Li Wei kept stroking the hunting dog.

"Good, good, worthy of praise."

He couldn't hide the smile on his face.

This made Ah Jin feel a sense of crisis. If it couldn't find something comparable to this level ten divine artifact, it would fall out of favor...

"Squeak squeak squeak".

Ajin climbed onto Li Wei's shoulder, urging him to hurry up. He had only just warmed up and had about six months left, enough time to defeat the bad dog in front of him!

On the other side, Mana communicated with the Sakura Beast for a long time. Levi waited quietly; this Sakura Beast had another use: as Elena's bloodline essence.

In this way, Elena will possess the secret medicines of two Blood Calamity Lords, which will greatly increase her cultivation speed and allow her to reach level eight sooner.

"Alright, let's take the fawn with us."

Mana led the Sakura Beast to Li Wei's side.

"Alright, then go in and save it."

Li Wei was in a good mood. If he could absorb the power of the divine tree from a level ten being, even if Mana was slow, she should be at the late stage of level eight, right? Her growth rate should also be able to improve, and she could reach level nine sooner.

Then they wiped out the Golden Holy Realm in one fell swoop, allowing Mana to surge to level ten, rivaling Lady Pandora. As for how to reach level eleven, Levi wasn't sure. For the Divine Tree, level ten was sufficient.

He wasn't even sure if he would live to see Mana reach level 11.

……

Time passed day by day.

Before we knew it, the day for the ancient pagoda to close had come.

Akin performed quite well afterward, finding another 60 Truth Treasures for Li Wei, but none of them were of the Sun-level, so it naturally couldn't compare to the Hound's harvest.

Throughout the journey, Li Wei and Ritter accompanied him, with Ritter constantly absorbing knowledge and history from the Beast Taming Civilization to prepare him for the long journey ahead. Seeing that Ritter was also close to level nine, he inquired about the requirements for advancement.

Ritter said that if he wanted to become a legendary beastmaster, he needed to complete two tasks:

One goal is to bring the Purple Lightning Heart Ape to its complete form. He is currently searching for a secondary ingredient in a legendary beast-taming potion called [Nine-Leaf Red]. If he obtains this, he can combine it with other ingredients to create a potion called [Heart of Nera]. This potion can increase the success rate of beast taming tribulations and accelerate its development.

The second step is to find a level-nine herb called "Heart-to-Heart Grass." This is the main ingredient for crafting the essential potion "Water of Destiny," necessary for advancing to legendary status. This potion can help unlock the third slot of the Destiny Contract.

The Heart-Connecting Grass is only found in the [Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas], while [Nine-Leaf Red] is a newly discovered material in recent years, and its production is currently limited. Due to its ability to lure and capture extraordinary creatures, it is strictly controlled by the authorities.

So he could only search for it through interdimensional travel, and then he was taken in by the ancient tower.

"Is this the Nine-Leaf Red you mentioned?"

Li Wei took out a nine-leaf blood draco, its exotic fragrance wafting through the air. The purple lightning ape showed an expression of ecstatic joy, and Ritter's eyes shone brightly as he said:

"Yes, that is indeed it."

"Take it."

"Master, is this really for me?"

"Yes, do your job well, and we'll have plenty of this stuff."

"Thank you, Master!"

Nine-Leaf Blooddragon is now in mass production in Nora, partly to lure and purify the Black Beast, and partly because Ms. Rowling discovered that this herb can be used to create a potion that promotes the development of extraordinary beings, thus helping the psychic school to grow.

With sufficient incentive and the current executive power of the Nora Council, even the rarest plants can be propagated for you.

On the way, Li Wei was flipping through "The Illustrated Compendium of Beasts".

"Do you still have Arctic Apes over there?"

"Yes, the second natal beast of the [Extreme Cold King] among the 24 Heavenly Kings is the Winter Snow Ape, which is also his signature beast."

"Are there any giant apes with a metal-based lineage?"

"Never heard of it."

Li Wei thought he had already collected all four elements of the apes: Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. But then the Purple Lightning Heart Ape appeared, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in again, making him want to collect all seven elements.

Moreover, when Li Wei annihilated the level nine Amethyst Clan, he learned about a legendary giant ape called the [Netherworld Ghost Ape] through its memories.

"Squeak squeak squeak".

As they walked, Ajin ran up to Li Wei. They had arrived at a scorching desert, where the temperature was extremely high and space was distorted.

"Is the treasure here?"

"Squeak squeak squeak".

"Okay, lead the way!"

After crossing the desert, not long after, an endless sea of ​​fire appeared ahead, spanning several thousand miles. The edge areas were equivalent to level six flames, while Li Wei estimated the central area to be level nine.

"interesting."

He strode into it, the Crimson Dragon Emperor reigning supreme, impervious to all flames. Let alone a level nine, even a level ten divine fire couldn't harm him in a short time.

At the very center, an ancient and worn-out blanket floated in the air, its entire body crimson, with a majestic firebird painted on its surface.

"It's actually a level nine rare treasure?"

Damn it, I can run into a level nine treasure while just strolling around town, and there are no traps or mechanisms blocking my way. It's obvious that the ancient pagoda accidentally took it in.

With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the blanket.

"The Divine Fire Blanket, a level nine offensive treasure, contains level nine divine flames that can incinerate all things. It is forged from a variety of rare materials, including the skin of a level nine Flame King Dragon, the tail feathers of a Blazing Sky Sparrow, the remains of a Flame Angel, and the fur of a Star-Devouring Flame Wolf..."

A truly remarkable treasure, absolutely top-tier, comparable to Gandalf's Plowstone. Unfortunately, it's useless to me, but perfect for my Holy Infant clone, especially when paired with the Wizard Tower. Once it reaches the eighth ring, it will be able to hold its own against a level nine opponent.

That said, Gandalf and the Holy Infant both have level nine artifacts; we can't favor one over the other. We should find a way to get one for Victor as well later.

Li Wei put away the rare treasure, and finally a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Ajin's small eyes showed some resentment.

It always felt that the treasure in this desert wasn't this. There was something far more valuable, something that could definitely surpass that hunting dog!

The sea of ​​fire gradually disappeared, absorbed into the magic carpet. Suddenly, a fiery red light rushed aggressively towards Li Wei.

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into the territory of Lord [Flame Devourer Iros]?! How dare you! Hand over my father at once!"

It was a fiery, bizarre monster that resembled both a dragon and a bird, with angelic wings on its back and a wolf's head. It was a fire elemental lord with late-stage level eight strength.

Where is your father?

"You took it."

"So you were born from this extraordinary treasure?"

"Yes, don't change the subject."

Then, Li Wei exuded boundless majesty, a crimson world descended, and the phantom of the Crimson Emperor Dragon behind him pierced the sky, directly shattering the ball of fire element.

The countless sparks coalesced again into the shape of a giant.

"No...don't kill me."

It grew up here from a young age, and after reaching the late stage of level eight, it became invincible. Having only a limited perspective, it had never witnessed such great terror!

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Sign the elemental spirit contract, and I'll take you away from here."

"Okay, I'll sign."

And so, it was buy one get one free.

Li Wei was delighted to have acquired a new working spirit. Looking back on his journey, he realized that the fire elemental spirits had played an extremely important role.

Ace, Phoenix, Diabo, and now Iros, it's truly a complete family. This fire element is not far from level nine, and Li Wei plans to find a fire element treasure land after he leaves to help it advance to the level of elemental overlord.

To some extent, the elemental spirits scattered throughout the multiverse are also an invisible and immense force, with extremely high limits. The strongest of them should be the Fire King.

If we could win this person over to Nora's camp, thereby commanding all the elemental spirits in the world to gather together, we would have another army that could sweep across multiple dimensions!

"Iros, you're quite familiar with this place. Are there any obvious ruins or temple sites?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, continue deeper into the desert. I once saw a temple in the distance, and there was a terrifying aura about it. I dared not approach it, and I did not know what was inside."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei smiled; it must be the temple left behind by Sauron. A Jin's eyes also gleamed with excitement; it knew there were still good things in the desert!

Urged on by the little mouse, Li Weihua departed.

……

An endless expanse of yellow sand, and a brown temple stands tall.

Li Wei gracefully emerged from the light.

He gently pushed open the tightly closed temple door, and a musty, decaying smell rushed out, followed by a thick stone pillar that shot towards him like an arrow.

With a gentle slap, the stone pillar turned to dust. In another flash, he appeared before the culprit and grabbed him by the throat.

This is a twelve-winged angel in the appearance of a woman. Her face is exquisitely beautiful and holy, with two beautiful tear tracks on her cheeks. She is truly a goddess from heaven, and I feel pity for her.

"Who...who are you? I am Marianne, the Archangel under the command of the Virgin Mary! Your filthy hands have desecrated the body of God! Do you know your sin?"

He was once a peak level nine powerhouse. Because of his status as an archangel, even some of the weaker gods in the Myriad Manifestations Forest showed him a degree of respect. Now, his strength has fallen to the mid-level nine, but he is still not so easily defeated by someone of the same level.

This kind of strength is simply astonishing!

"Our Lady of the Earth, I saw you not long ago... I love to touch your noble, holy, and untouchable forbidden bodies with my dirty hands."

Li Wei laughed and twisted his neck.

Blood tears streamed from the archangel's eyes as he viciously cursed the blasphemer before him. Crimson dragon flames erupted, and before long, the archangel was reduced to ashes.

A golden light appeared, and Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise.

"A golden legend? Sauron, you're suddenly giving me a big surprise, aren't you... Please don't give me any weird 'golden finger' stuff."

He reached out and caught the golden light, only to discover that this wisp of earthy yellow aura was radiating a rich vitality of creation.

【Mother Earth's Energy (Golden Legend)】

[Level: 10]

[Special Effects: Everlasting Life]

……

[Endless Life:]

1. The earth's primordial energy can catalyze the growth of plants and animals, making them more lush and healthy, possessing the ability to rival the creation of heaven and earth.

2. The earth's vital energy can nurture life and spirituality, thus gradually giving birth to new life forms in barren lands.

3. Being near the Earth Mother's Qi can heal injuries, and non-fatal injuries can be quickly recovered in a short time.

4. The Earth Mother's energy can automatically draw upon the power of earth elements from the boundless void to shape the land, extend the boundaries of the continent, and accelerate the growth of the world.

5. The Earth Mother's Qi is a legendary natural treasure; refining it can grant one a corresponding legendary profession.

"Is it really a level ten divine artifact?"

Li Wei's eyes lit up with surprise, and he was filled with excitement.

This trip to the ancient pagoda yielded two divine treasures!

Needless to say, the remains of the Cherry Blossom Ancestor are no less valuable than a priceless treasure.

This Mother Earth's energy is truly extraordinary.

It not only has a multitude of benefits related to the growth of all things, but it is also a purely natural "legendary wonder".

This was Li Wei's second encounter with such a rare innate artifact; the previous "Candle of Light" was likely artificially crafted by Sauron.

Another innate wonder is the [Twilight Spear].

Of course, "innate" and "acquired" only distinguish the way a wondrous object is formed, and do not represent its quality or strength. If the cost is very high, then the power of an acquired wondrous object will naturally not be weak, such as the [Candle of Light].

"With so many legendary and wondrous items, how should I choose?"

Li Wei was actually a little annoyed.

"Forget it, there's always a way out. We'll figure it out when the time comes. For now, we won't refine this Earth Mother Qi. Placing it in the Ancient Banyan Wonderland will accelerate its development. Mana, as the World Tree, will also benefit from it. If I'm sure I won't need this in the future, I'll just let Mana refine it and help her advance further."

While having more legendary professions is always better, Li Wei also needs to consider the success rate of advancement, so he's unsure whether he should refine them all.

This Mother Earth Qi appears to be a wisp of energy, but it is actually extremely heavy; even a hundred thousand mountains combined could not contain it.

Only someone with unparalleled strength like Li Wei could lift it.

After he placed it into the Ancient Banyan Wonderland, the primordial energy dissolved upon entering the earth and began to sink continuously. It eventually reached the heart of the Wonderland, which is also the foot of Mana, the World Tree.

"Li Wei, what are you doing at my feet?"

Mana appeared, her face showing an expression of utter disbelief.

"It's alright, I've put something good in there for you."

Li Wei smiled and pointed to the earthy yellow aura.

"What is this?"

"Mother Earth's Qi".

"I seem to have heard that it possesses the power to create life and is something the World Trees dream of... Is that true?"

"Really, if I become useless in the future, you can refine me."

"Hehe, thank you... Li Wei, you're so kind."

Mana smiled, clearly delighted.

"Don't be too happy yet. If I need it, you won't get a share."

Li Wei said without any mercy.

"Then I'm happy too."

"Whatever you like. By the way, if anyone gets injured in the future, just place them next to Mother Qi, and they will be healed quickly."

"Yes, I can feel it. With this thing, the cell division and tissue growth in my body have accelerated. If I refine the power of the Sakura Beast's divine tree, I hope to advance to the peak of level eight in a short time."

Of course, Mana's "short time" may still take hundreds of years.

Li Wei was already used to it.

He left the Ancient Banyan Wonderland and continued his exploration within the temple.

As is customary, there should be some Easter eggs hidden here, which are also important. Not long after, Li Wei found Soren's note in a pure white dress hanging on a hanger.

"Why does this long dress look so familiar? And it even has a feminine scent."

This isn't a treasure, it's just a decent piece of clothing. Li Wei suddenly remembered that the Virgin Mary who descended recently seemed to have worn a similar style.

Li Wei immediately opened the note to check.

【Mother Earth Mesa, who resides in the sacred plains of the Thousand Hills Kingdom, whose divine kingdom lies behind the Gate of All Things, is one of the most ancient gods in the astral realm. She holds most of the divine power of the earth and later plundered the divine power of motherhood, thus becoming one of the most powerful gods. Her strength is slightly inferior to that of the Father of Heaven.

The Virgin Mary has seven divine attendants, known as the "Seven Holy Goddesses," each of whom is exceptionally beautiful and possesses a captivating charm.

Of course, none of them were as beautiful as the Virgin Mary.

I know perfectly well that the Virgin Mary's true form might just be a giant fleshy worm born from the astral plane, yet I am still amazed by her beauty. Perhaps this is a man's weakness.

It's like I know perfectly well that succubi are essentially fleshy worms born from the abyss, yet I still couldn't resist their temptation and naturally indulged in their taste. Damn lust, why is it the only one of the seven deadly sins that I have no resistance to?

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

Sauron, Sauron, you'd better watch yourself!

Starting today, I will abstain from pornography!

Be a man who isn't controlled by his lower body!

Be a man who cannot be defined!

……

……

The Virgin Mary tastes really good!

I was the one who refused.

However, I discovered that the Holy Mother and the Father of God seem to have a secret relationship... These two powerful deities once merged and conceived a child of two gods through some means.

They wanted to use their children to go further and thus eliminate their nemesis, the Lord of Blood and Fire, the Lord of Chaos.

The astral plane is truly fascinating. We are all of the same origin, yet we fight each other so fiercely. In the end, aren't we still just insects after all? Is this some kind of insect war?

Based on the principle of not letting the Heavenly Father have an easy time, after they had conceived together, I secretly found the Earthly Mother. She was wearing a pure white dress, so holy and beautiful that one could not bear to defile her.

"Mrs. Mesa, you don't want your child to die, do you?"

In a single sentence, I tasted the forbidden fruit of love.

At the moment of merging, I checked on the condition of the divine child.

These two really went all out; they discovered the [Mortal Ring] that I had been searching for all along and refined it into the body of the divine child.

Because the divine child has already been conceived within the mother's womb for an ancient era, the [Earthly Ring] is difficult to separate.

It took me a great deal of effort to remove it. But some of the characteristics of the [Mortal Ring] remained in the Divine Child's body... Oh right, I also took a wisp of [Earth Mother Qi] from the Divine Child's umbilical cord.

The mortal circle is a circle of destiny, an innate wonder that cannot be forged, originating from a primordial being who has long since perished.

Those who possess this ring can imbue the aura of any living being they encounter with the aura of destiny, causing them to be captured by fate.

No matter how much time and space they traverse, anyone who has ever been connected with the owner of the Worldly Ring will always encounter them at the right time and place. This is not a miracle, this is not luck… this is an inescapable ring of destiny!

Fate is like a ring; those who are captured, no matter how hard they try to escape, will only meet their owner after circling the mortal world once.

What a wondrous and vicious thing this is!

Fortunately, with my current level of skill, it's impossible for me to be captured.

Because a portion of the [Earthly Ring]'s properties still remained within the Divine Child, Lady Mesa was unaware that I had removed it. She also didn't know that I had made some insignificant changes to the Divine Child. The Heavenly Father was even less aware that the holy light above Him had transformed into a beautiful green light of love.

One day, the divine child will be born.

But perhaps He will never grow up.

The poor child is likely to be eaten by the snake.

The primordial being that gave birth to the [Mortal Ring] also gave birth to another accompanying entity, which I named the [Ring of Eternity].

Based on my analysis and investigation, this object may have been devoured by a mythical creature that appeared in history, known as the Serpent of the End.

Unfortunately, no trace of this creature has been found in my time.

I don't have much time left.

I'm not going to look for him anymore, let him be.

No one can be fully prepared, and nothing can be done perfectly.

The universe is so vast, there are always good things scattered in hidden corners that I don't know about.

Believe in the destiny of the [Earthly Circle].

These two rings will one day reunite!
