Red Lotus Breaks Through! Golden Blood!

) The year 1015 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Freezing Winter.

The Flower City remains as warm as springtime.

Levi emerged from his meditative state.

Intelligence from the front lines indicates that Black Mountain City has fallen.

The Snow Wraith have invaded the Northern Territory.

Several of the Seven Holy Knights of the World of the Church, leading members of the Knight Order, began hunting down the Snow Wraith.

The good news is that since the Blue Frost outbreak in Black Mountain City, no other cities in the north have experienced Blue Frost outbreak.

The Pope claimed that he had received an oracle from the Heavenly Father.

God has taken notice of everything in the Mortal World and will Divine Punishment behind Blue Frost. God commands humanity to unite around Him and fight against Blue Frost! Levi expressed serious doubt about this.

"If God truly cares, then what about those who died before?" Levi sighed.

It is better to rely on yourself than on God.

Knight or wizard.

This is the best way for ordinary people to protect themselves.

If I didn't have that kind of ability...

If I were still just an ordinary minor lord.

Their own fate is probably no better than that of ordinary people.

After this period of training, and with Levi's continuous practice of casting spells...

Levi's Insect Control Art has finally reached the Second Order.

Levi ————

Insect Control Art: Second Order (1/5000)

The Second Order Insect Control Art has a much closer connection with the Holy Armor Scorpion.

Levi was already able to barely control the Holy Armor Scorpion.

Of course, he cannot control more than ten Holy Armor Scorpion.

If there are more than ten, the excess Holy Armor Scorpion will turn on you and devour you.

At the First Order, Levi Wei could control a Holy Armor Scorpion.

Therefore, he guessed that if it were a tenfold increase...

With my Third Order Insect Control Art, I should be able to control one hundred Holy Armor Scorpion.

The Fourth Order consists of one thousand.

Fifth Order, ten thousand...

Of course, this is on the premise that the Insect Control Art can be cultivated to the Fifth Order.

Ten Holy Armor Scorpion are basically powerless in combat; to pose a threat to the Great Knight, you would need at least a hundred.

Levi could only slowly grind away.

He has already spent too much time learning how to Insect Control Art.

Next, he'll have to pick up his Breathing Technique again.

After all, at present, the method that provides the greatest and fastest boost to oneself is still Breathing Technique.

Levi emerged from seclusion today because he had been contacted by several people recently.

Levi initially didn't want to pay any attention, but the soldier told him that the man might be Great Knight, and Levi should go and take a look.

Levi thought about it and decided to go see him.

Not long after, the visitor appeared at Levi's Black Serpent Stronghold.

His face was aged, his body slightly hunched, he wore black armor, and had a full head of silver hair, but the obvious aura of Great Knight made it impossible for anyone to ignore this old man.

It was none other than the Anderson Knight visited Zhuge Liang three times.

"Your Excellency Lord Levi, I am Sir Anderson Knight. I have some matters I would like to discuss with Lord," the old man said, neither humble nor arrogant, getting straight to the point.

Levi's Spider Sense sensed a faint danger, which made his expression solemn.

The newcomer is definitely a strong person.

Even though the opponent only displayed the strength of Great Knight.

However, with his superhuman senses and mental strength, Levi could sense that this was the Anderson Knight.

He is definitely the strongest Knight I have ever seen, at least no weaker than the Black Mountain Duke and the Empire's Fist.

The other person standing there gave off a feeling of returning to simplicity and Unity of Heaven and Man.

"What brings you here, Anderson?"

Levi dismissed the servants and then asked the question.

Anderson Knight sighed and said softly, "Did you kill a Blood Clan some time ago, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Levi's heart changed.

Despite my utmost caution, the fact that I killed Blood Clan was still exposed? Could this old man also be a Blood Clan?

Indeed, there must be some kind of sensory connection between the Blood Clan members.

Levi secretly thought things were going to get complicated.

However, he wasn't really panicked.

With his own strength, as long as the opponent is not Original Blood Clan, he is not without the ability to fight back.

At worst, I'll activate "Red Lotus Blood" and fight to the death.

Moreover, judging from the other party's attitude, it doesn't seem like they came to cause trouble.

"What do you mean?" Levi neither admitted nor denied it, but pretended to be confused when he knew the truth.

Anderson Knight smiled slightly, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to confirm this with you. Vinila is the name of the Blood Clan you killed. She was my junior. She was eccentric and too unrestrained. I am not here to avenge Vinila."

Levi naturally didn't believe it, and he said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

They simply won't admit to killing him.

Anderson Knight remained calm and said, "Alright, it's nothing serious. I'll be frank. I'm also a Blood Clan, an elder of Vinila. According to the Blood Clan rules, we usually retaliate fiercely against those who kill our fellow Blood Clan. However, I'm a special case, so I won't retaliate against you. I just want to take Vinila's body away. I can sense Vinila's presence in your castle. In fact, if it weren't for my own moral principles, I could easily have sneaked into the castle without your knowledge, taken Vinila's body, or even snatched it back from you."

But my heart wouldn't allow me to do that.

I would like to ask that you hand over Vinila's body to me. In return, I will grant you any request within my power, whether it be wealth or some secret arts, whatever I can provide.

I suspect you are a rogue wizard. If you wish to enter the Land of the Faithless, I can introduce you to Mentor. I do know some wizards of good character."

"I'm not faking it," said the Anderson Knight in a low voice, his expression sincere.

This left Levi puzzled, and he was half-convinced.

He didn't believe that such Blood Clan existed in the world.

Let alone Blood Clan, there aren't many humans who follow the rules and moral principles like this.

However, this person is really too strong.

His old eyes seemed to see through everything.

This led Levi to basically accept the truthfulness of his words.

From the current perspective, the opponent is very likely Legendary Knight or Formal Wizard- level figure. Such a powerful person would not find it difficult to kill him.

There's no need to deceive yourself.

However, Levi stubbornly insisted, "I really don't know what you're talking about?"

Anderson Knight was both amused and exasperated; this lord was quite an interesting character.

Even after I've said all that, he still doesn't believe me.

It's only because Anderson has a good personality; if it were any other Blood Clan, they would have torn Levi to pieces long ago.

"Very well, you may come to see me anytime. I live at Downton Street 13." With that, Anderson Knight waved his hand and left.

Levi said, "As a Blood Clan, aren't you afraid of the Church's punishment for appearing so openly in the human world?"

Anderson Knight turned around and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, and I believe you won't tell on me. After all, we all have secrets."

After saying this, the Anderson Knight disappeared from Levi's sight.

Levi looked thoughtful.

"This old guy should be an ancient member of the Blood Clan, most likely First Generation Blood Clan, but unlikely to be Original Blood Clan. Original Blood Clan are a bunch of complete madmen who look down on humans and treat them as food. They wouldn't be so polite to me."

The other party's performance demonstrates an exceptionally strong will; the Blood Clan's will has not eroded his human will. He's no ordinary person.

Moreover, this old fellow could tell at a glance that I was a wild wizard, and he should be able to sense my extraordinary spiritual power.

This also served as a wake-up call for Levi.

Perhaps some of the stronger members of the Church also saw through his true nature.

If the Church finds out that he is secretly becoming a wizard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for the "wild wizards" the old man mentioned, this is a term used to refer to wizards in the Land of the Faithless, who wander outside the Land of the Faithless, hiding in the human world, without any organization or Mentor to guide them.

Therefore, there are indeed some groups of wizards in the world, but they are very few and far between.

Firstly, in the Mortal World, one would be watched by the Church, constantly hiding and living in fear, which would make one feel completely uncomfortable. For example, Levi is currently in this situation. He doesn't dare to show his magic to others, for fear of accidentally revealing it to the Church and getting into trouble.

Secondly, in the mortal world, the free-floating etheric elemental power is very thin. Whether constructing Spell Model or casting a spell here, the effect is far less than in the Land of the Faithless. The same person casting the same spell will have different power.

Moreover, wizards need to communicate with their peers to improve; it's difficult to achieve much by working in isolation. Individual wisdom is ultimately inferior to collective wisdom, and it's practically impossible to find fellow wizards to communicate with in the human world; no one wants to be here.

Levi had no choice but to stay here temporarily.

Although Anderson Knight spoke with sincerity, Levi could not trust him at the moment.

If he really does as he says, Levi could take the body out and exchange it for something he needs.

The other party did show sufficient sincerity, but he was, after all, Blood Clan, so Levi could not be too careful.

What if the other party manages to revive Vinila? If Vinila comes back to life and causes trouble for him again, wouldn't Levi be asking for trouble?

Trying not to think about Anderson, the days of meditation passed by one by one, and there was still no news of Fire Paper.

On this day of the New Year in the year 1016 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

Levi's Red Lotus Breathing Technique has reached the Eighth Rank.

Levi ————

Red Lotus Breathing Technique: Eighth Rank (1/100000), Special Effects: Extraordinary Strength, Red Lotus Blood.

This is the fourth "Extraordinary Strength" effect created by Levi.

Levi was completely unmoved by any breakthroughs in Breathing Technique.

Now, Levi possesses a multitude of Breathing Technique at the Eighth Rank or above, and his strength is increasing day by day. He lies low, quietly cultivating, avoiding trouble, and keeping an extremely low profile.

It was also on New Year's Day.

A major and exciting event has reached the Emerald Kingdom from the Tuva Empire.

The Empire's Fist has reappeared.

This top-tier powerhouse, an unparalleled God of War born from the storm, appeared and struck with Thunder speed, killing the empire's ruler who hadn't even warmed his throne yet.

Later, he was hunted down by the Storm Knight Order of the Storm Church. Relying on his terrifying strength, he killed three Great Knight. Even after the Storm Archbishop of the Storm Church used the Church's "foundation," he still managed to escape and fled to the outer sea.

The reason he went to the open sea was because of another major event.

Someone found a Treasure Map left behind by the Golden Knight Gerrick.

Golden Knight Gerrick, one of the Legendary Knight, was incredibly powerful and left behind countless legendary deeds during his lifetime.

He is incredibly powerful. It is said that the blood flowing through his veins is golden, radiating a golden light, making him impervious to swords and spears, Vajra, and immune to water and fire! This is the famous "Golden Blood"! Some say that the Golden Knight Gerrick is a descendant of a powerful alien race, while others say that the Golden Knight Gerrick is a descendant of a wizard.

There are many different opinions, but what is known is that...

Besides his Golden Blood, the Golden Knight Gerrick also possesses powerful swordsmanship, making him a true master swordsman. The Seven Divine Swords of the King are now mere novices in front of the Golden Knight.

The Treasure Map says that the Golden Knight Gerrick left his fortune on a deserted island in the open sea.

It is said that in the final years of his life, the Golden Knight Gerrick, dissatisfied with the rule of the Church, spent a fortune building a giant ship and set sail for distant lands, searching for something unknown.

On that voyage, the Golden Knight set sail with his ship full of wealth, along with several Great Knight as his retinue, and everything that belonged to Golden Knight. Then, he was never heard from again.

Now, the Treasure Map has reappeared.

The Golden Knight's mysterious treasure lies on a deserted island in the open sea!

Do you want the wealth of the Golden Knight Gerrick? Do you want to possess the strongest power, authority, and Breathing Technique in the world?

Do you want to become Legendary Knight?

Let's go to the sea then.

The Golden Knight Gerrick, left everything there.

Fueled by this news, the veracity of which was unknown, a grand maritime adventure was launched in the coastal regions of the Tuva Empire.

Even the Empire's Fist couldn't escape the trend and set sail to search for Greck's treasure.

This craze has now swept into the Emerald Kingdom.

This left Levi both amused and exasperated.

"These people really have nothing better to do."

"With the navigation and shipbuilding technology of this era, finding the Golden Knight's treasure location is a pipe dream. Moreover, this news may even be false."

Levi, in any case, didn't believe it at all.

He wouldn't participate in this boring activity.

However, he would still occasionally keep an eye on the gossip surrounding the Great Adventure and the movements of the Empire's Fist.

This three-meter-tall hunk left a deep impression on Levi.

Levi really wanted to have a real, hand-to-hand battle with the Empire's Fist to test his current strength.

However, it is clear that such a chance is very small.

Levi wouldn't go looking for the Empire's Fist just to have a friendly spar.

"But could the Golden Knight's powerful swordsmanship be my Golden Cross Slash?" Levi suddenly thought of a question.

The Golden Cross Slash was taught to Levi by the Serpent Vulture Knight.

The Serpent Vulture Knight said that if one cultivates to the highest level of the Whirlwind Technique, it becomes a sword skill comparable to perfection or even Legendary Realm quality.

And the Golden Knight Gerrick, was a Legendary Knight.

In Levi's view, only Legendary Knight could create such powerful swordsmanship.

During this time, Levi's training in the Golden Cross Slash did not slacken.

He estimated that he could cultivate the Golden Cross Slash to the Sixth Order of perfection this year, if he guessed correctly.

The Seventh Rank Golden Cross Slash corresponds to the Rotation Power.

Of course, this was due to the invention of the Ripple Divine Palm.

Levi's Golden Cross Slash is now practically defunct.

Calling it "Golden Ripple Divine Palm" would be more fitting.

While keeping an eye on the situation at the Age of Great Voyage, Levi quietly gained experience points in his own territory.

During this time, the mysterious and powerful Blood Clan Anderson Knight did not bother him. Instead, he seemed to have become an ordinary old man, settling down in the Flower City. Sometimes, when Levi went to the Shining Tavern, he would still run into him.

The other party would also smile kindly at Levi.

Levi's Spider Sense rarely triggers alarms.

This shows that the old man probably didn't have any malicious intent and had no intention of harming Levi.

To be honest, Levi was a little tempted.

The other party is a powerful Blood Clan with a long lifespan and friends who are Formal Wizard. The other party has a strong network of connections. If they could introduce me to them, I might not need the Fire Paper at all, and I wouldn't need to wait for news from the Four Great Families.

If the other party is willing to speak, I might be able to enter the Land of the Faithless.

But the biggest problem lies in the other party's Blood Clan identity.

This has always been a concern for Levi.

Amidst this dilemma, Levi continued to grind for experience.

The year 1016 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

The Flower City was unbearably hot, with waves of heat sweeping through.

After a long period of training, Levi mastered the Golden Cross Slash, a powerful sword technique he obtained from the Knight Fred.

I finally reached the Sixth-Order Limit.

Levi ——————

Golden Cross Slash: Sixth Order (Limit, Limit Breakable), Special Effects: Advanced Vibration, Advanced Ripple.

"The Golden Cross Slash has hit a bottleneck. I knew it wouldn't be that simple to break through to the highest level of the Whirlwind Realm," Levi muttered to himself.

He has been focusing on improving his Golden Cross Slash recently because he has been Golden Cross Slash at Sixth Order for a long time and wants to break through to Seventh Rank as soon as possible to master the Rotation Power.

But as it turns out, the Rotation Power is indeed not something that can be easily mastered.

I didn't encounter any bottlenecks from the First Order to the Sixth Order; I broke through them on my own as soon as I reached them.

However, to Sixth Order to the Seventh Rank, one must find a way to break through the bottleneck in order to break through the limits and master the Rotation Power.

"But how do we break through this limitation?"

Levi was worried; now he was just one step away from success.

"Vibration, ripples, swirling."

"According to my previous understanding, vibration generates ripples, and ripples give rise to vortices, which is correct."

"How exactly can we break through?"

Levi left the castle and went to the Shining Tavern, where he listened to the other Knight enthusiastically discussing the news of the Golden Knight Gerrick's treasure.

Now, half a year has passed, and the fervor for the Great Voyage has waned somewhat, with many people Lost at sea or returning empty-handed.

Based on his analysis, Levi speculated that the Golden Cross Slash might be the sword technique of the Golden Knight Gerrick, so the key to breaking through the Rotation Power might lie with the Golden Knight.
