Great Expedition Era! Golden Snake Twelfth Order!
After preparing everything needed to revive his deceased wife, the tower master immediately set off for the Starry Sea Area.
He wanted to find his teacher, Salman.
Salman is now Fourth Ring Wizard.
He is a prominent figure in the Starry Sea Area.
The tower master's power alone is not enough to summon the spirit; Salman's help is still needed.
Salman had always regarded the tower master as his godson, and the tower master was his successor, so he naturally wouldn't refuse this favor.
After hearing that the Tower Master had left the Ninth District, Levi on Black Fire Island could only silently pray for him and wish him success.
This level of matter was beyond the reach of a mere First-Circle Wizard like him. The tower master was extremely grateful that he was able to successfully obtain the Seven Day Soul Return Grass that the tower master needed.
The Tower Master wanted to give Levi another 10,000 Great Stone as a reward, but Levi hadn't intended to accept it. The Tower Master would definitely need a lot of money to revive Stella. Levi wasn't short of money right now, only time, so accepting it wouldn't be of much use.
Moreover, the Tower Master himself is not a wealthy leader of Third Ring organization like the three great families. He has only recently advanced to the Third Ring, so how much savings could he possibly have? In fact, the Tower Master's personal savings have never been very large. A large portion of his money, apart from refining his Alchemy body, has been used for the development and construction of the Gray-White Tower.
Both Mai Lin and Levi noticed this.
However, the tower master insisted on giving it to him, and Levi had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.
The days that followed.
Levi's life returned to its usual routine of going between two points.
Instruction at the Gray-White Tower, training at Black Fire Island.
As for Dinos, he successfully handed him over to Mu Di.
After discovering the new Legendary Knight, Mu Di, Dinos opened the door to a new world.
He had always believed that there were no more Legendary Knight in the Wizard World.
After getting to know Levi, he realized that he had been looking at the world from the bottom of a well.
Since I haven't even stepped into the circle of Legendary Knight, I naturally wouldn't have any contact with them.
But Levi not only knew many Legendary Knight, he was even the leader of a Legendary Knight organization!
This made Dinos admire Levi even more.
The Twilight Knight Order —that sounds like a really awesome organization!
Because the entry requirement for the Twilight Knight Order is Legendary Knight, Dinos cannot join for the time being and can only serve as an apprentice member. If Dinos were to become Legendary Knight one day, he would naturally be able to become a full member.
After obtaining his father's permission, Dinos directly became Mu Di's apprentice.
Mu Di got a cheap and wealthy apprentice like Dinos for free, a win-win situation for both parties.
Having resolved Dinos's problem, Levi focused all his attention on his own affairs.
Outside of his spiritual practice, Levi began crafting the Corpse Digger.
Although the Corpse Digger is First Ring Alchemy blueprint, its difficulty is no less than some Second Ring ones.
Levi spent half a year studying the blueprints and Alchemy Formula. During this time, he did not begin the refining of the Corpse Digger, but instead continued to make preparations.
He crafted one part after another: the Alchemy deck of the Corpse Digger, and the giant shield and axe used by the Corpse Digger. Levi used as much Mithril as possible, but due to the limited quantity of Sun Gold and Mithril, he ultimately used brass as the main material.
The final ratio of brass, Mithril, and Sun Gold is approximately 100:10:1.
The Corpse Digger was too big. Even at that size, the cost of the Alchemy metals alone cost Levi about eight thousand Great Stone.
The Alchemy energy drive device for the Corpse Digger was also crafted by Levi according to the strongest configuration under the First Ring system, and it cost three thousand Great Stone.
In addition, there are other miscellaneous expenses.
Levi didn't realize it until he did the math: the raw material cost for this Corpse Digger was a whopping 20,000 Great Stone! Damn, even a small wizard ship only costs 30,000 Great Stone.
However, considering the strength of the Corpse Digger, Levi gritted his teeth and continued.
In fact, even if Alchemy creatures like Corpse Digger can't keep up with their cultivation levels in the later stages, the metal materials can still be melted down and won't be wasted.
Levi earned a lot of money on the Yellow Earth Continent recently, enough to support him until Levi finishes refining the Corpse Digger.
He also commissioned brokers on the Black Market to sell the various materials and magical artifacts he had acquired that he no longer needed, which ultimately earned him over ten thousand Great Stone.
As for the herbs obtained from those secret realms, Levi naturally kept them for his future use in Potion Making.
After six months of preparation, Levi would spend some time each day, in his spare time, refining the Corpse Digger.
Creating Corpse Digger is a massive undertaking, typically requiring the collaboration of several First Ring Alchemy.
Levi completed everything himself, so he must have taken it step by step; it was bound to be a protracted battle.
During the refining process, Levi's Alchemy skills naturally broke through to the Fourth Order, reaching the level of a Alchemy First Ring.
He estimated that as long as he could complete the refining of this Corpse Digger independently.
Then one can directly advance to the First Ring of senior Alchemy, because the amount of work involved is too huge, almost including all the Alchemy Formula required for the First Ring level of Alchemy.
Black Fire Cave, Levi's Alchemy chamber.
As time passed, the skeletal framework of an Alchemy creature gradually took shape.
This is a five-meter-tall metal monster.
Levi busied himself with various tasks, hammering and tinkering, chanting incantations, and inscribing Alchemy with his spiritual power.
My days are very fulfilling.
In another cave, the Red Fire Dragon Lizard was bored and locked under a pillar, having lost its dreams.
Levi named it "Drogon".
Drogon doesn't know how he survived the past year. That damned human would come every now and then to take his blood and give him some food.
At first, it refused and wanted to starve itself to death. But for some reason, every time the man who had kidnapped it approached it, a little bit of shameful intimacy would rise in its hateful heart, and then it would unconsciously eat with relish.
This is practically PUA! This is the subtle effect of Levi's Heart of Nature and Dragon Affinity starting to take hold.
This will subtly increase the Red Fire Dragon Lizard's favorability towards Levi.
However, it will take some time to completely tame this big guy.
Black Fire Island is practically a zoo in Ninth District these days.
Dragon King Whale, Red Sand Ape, Red Fire Dragon Lizard, Fire Elemental Spirit, Poison Fire Bone Serpent, Black Flame Demon Bird, Holy Armor Scorpion, Red-Faced Sea Ghost Spider...
As Levi tames more and more extraordinary creatures, if any enemy dares to invade Black Fire Island in the future, Levi will show them what a treacherous world is like.
The year 1036 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Green Grass.
Levi successfully completed the forging of the main body of the Corpse Digger, and the war machine entered the final installation and forging stage.
Levi's Furnace Meditation Technique has also broken through the Fifth Order, reaching the level of First Ring expert.
His Alchemy skills have also made great progress.
Levi ————
Alchemy: Fourth Order (13678/20000)
"The Alchemy skill, at Fifth Order, should be the Alchemy level of a Second Ring Alchemy. I am now very close to Fifth Order."
Even though both are Fourth Order Alchemy, a little proficiency and more than 10,000 proficiency are naturally different, but this difference has not yet reached the qualitative change level of the Fifth Order.
Levi paused his current cultivation and devoted himself entirely to the final sprint.
He wanted to succeed on his first try. Although most of the materials could be refined a second time if he failed, it would still waste a lot of time.
The most arduous part of Corpse Digger is the initial preparation, where various parts must be crafted and runes inscribed without any mistakes.
On the contrary, Levi felt that the final installation and refining were not that difficult.
A month later, he had completed the installation of the Corpse Digger.
Before Levi now stood a five-meter-tall mechanical Alchemy monster, resembling a standing hedgehog, its back hunched, its body covered in sharp barbs. These barbs were inscribed with runes, and First Ring of attack-type Alchemy Formula, [Low-Level Lightning Splash], was solidified on them. It could release electric currents radiating in all directions through these barbs, paralyzing and stunning enemies, while weaker enemies would be electrocuted to death.
The monster's front is the hardest part of its body, where a First Ring Alchemy Formula [Low-Level Magnetic Field] has also been solidified.
The power of elemental magnetism utilizes a magical Magneto Force to form a protective shield that repels attacks. It can basically withstand most First Ring attack spells, as well as physical attacks.
In addition, the Corpse Digger's Iron Body, forged and solidified by Levi's countless trials and tribulations, and its giant shield, also solidified with protective spells, mean that this behemoth's defense is basically nothing to worry about.
Apart from Second-Ring Wizard, First-Circle Wizard cannot break through its defenses in a short time. Once the Corpse Digger gets close, it is the end for First-Circle Wizard and even Second-Ring Wizard.
The Elemental Magnetic Field also has another function: this Alchemy Formula can be reversed. In that case, the repulsive force can be transformed into a powerful attraction. The attraction range of Low-Level Magnetic Field is within a radius of fifty meters. In other words, if an enemy enters within fifty meters of the Corpse Digger, they may be pulled in front of him by the Elemental Magnetic Field, allowing him to take advantage of his close-combat skills and smash the enemy.
The giant axe wielded by the Corpse Digger was a simple, unadorned axe made of Sun Gold and Mithril, with some Zero Ring Alchemy Formula solidified on it, such as [Returning Swallow Flight] and [Precise Throw]. This allowed the Corpse Digger to create effective ranged attacks by throwing the giant axe, and the axe could also return to his hand, making it essentially an otherworldly version of a giant axe Flying Sword.
In addition to these features, this behemoth, which Levi has poured nearly two years of effort into, has many other functions, such as all-terrain combat, levitation magic installed on its feet, which allows for rapid movement and short-distance leaps, and it can also dive into the deep sea for underwater combat.
Moreover, Levi also installed First Ring Alchemy Cannon on the head and chest of this behemoth; cannons and mechs are the romance of men.
"Now, it's time to test my results." Levi took a deep breath; even he was a little nervous.
He had already loaded the Corpse Digger with the Great Stone, and was using the Great Stone to test whether the Corpse Digger could be activated before letting Ace merge into it.
"Anda... Moke..."
Levi chanted the incantation.
At the same time, a scarlet light suddenly shone from the dark, dull eye sockets of the Corpse Digger.
A roar of an engine starting up echoed inside the Cave Residence.
The magical runes on the Corpse Digger lit up one by one.
The earth began to tremble slightly, as if some terrifying Demon King was being born.
The head of the Corpse Digger turned mechanically, facing Levi directly.
Look at the savage look in the Corpse Digger's eyes.
Levi smiled slightly.
"It's a success."
The Corpse Digger slowly began to move.
The movements progressed from clumsy to skillful.
Within the control core of the Corpse Digger are the most basic combat and fighting skills inscribed by Levi through memory magic. These skills are not fancy; they have only one function: killing! For wizards who are not good at close combat, these basic combat skills are more than enough.
In any case, as long as you have enough strength, all techniques are unnecessary.
Levi led the Corpse Digger out of the Cave Residence.
The Bone Serpent and the Red Sand Ape trembled as they stared at the ferocious metal monster that stood five meters tall.
With their biological instincts, they could sense the terrifying power emanating from this behemoth—an aura that crushed everything.
"Would you guys like to try your skills with the new friends?" Levi suddenly asked with a smile.
The Bone Serpent and the Red Sand Ape shook their heads like rattles and fled to find the Red Fire Dragon Lizard.
Even the most powerful Ace, after hesitating for a moment, silently left.
Helpless, Levi led the Corpse Digger into the sea. He needed to test the Corpse Digger's water combat capabilities, since most of the Endless Sea was water.
As soon as the Corpse Digger jumped into the sea, it swam quickly in it, and Levi followed behind it at a leisurely pace.
At the same time, they were also observing the consumption of Great Stone.
About an hour later, after swimming in the sea for so long, the Corpse Digger had consumed five Great Stone.
"Although Great Stone consumes energy much faster than Swordsman Mantis and the others, it is still acceptable for its size. This regular form does not consume much energy."
Levi's inner analysis.
By this time, they had already traveled a long way from Black Fire Island.
Before they knew it, they had entered a dangerous sea area.
Suddenly, a huge Two-Headed Shark emerged from the deep sea, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
The Two-Headed Shark is about ten meters long, which is shorter than Leviathan, but this First Ring sea beast is very strong. It is a descendant of the ancient creature [Overlord Megalodon], which is comparable to the Second Ring creature. Its strength is not much worse than that of Senior First Ring Wizard.
Without Levi needing to say anything, the Corpse Digger collided with the Two-Headed Shark with a loud bang.
Boom! A violent tremor came from underwater.
Levi watched leisurely from a distance.
The Two-Headed Shark shook its head, clearly indicating that the collision had been quite painful.
From its two heads, streams of white Frost- Spell-like Abilities energy emerged, attempting to freeze the Corpse Digger.
The Corpse Digger neither dodged nor avoided, but activated its magnetic field, directly reversing its rotation. A powerful suction force came, and before the Two-Headed Shark could react, it was pulled right in front of the Corpse Digger.
The Two-Headed Shark tried to dodge, but blue electricity erupted from the Corpse Digger, briefly paralyzing the Two-Headed Shark.
Without hesitation, the Corpse Digger slammed his giant shield into the Two-Headed Shark.
Duang!
A dull sound echoed underwater.
One of the Two-Headed Shark's heads was smashed off.
The Corpse Digger swung his axe, and the other head was chopped off.
Not satisfied, it grabbed the Two-Headed Shark's body with its bare hands, tore it apart, and then nailed the corpse to its back.
After doing all this, the big guy finally stopped and remained motionless.
Because Levi carried more than a hundred pieces of Great Stone.
This guy was used up after the battle.
"And this is without even using the Alchemy Cannon. This thing truly lives up to its reputation as a Great Stone. If we weren't facing Second Ring enemy, there would be no need for the Corpse Digger to take action."
"The Corpse Digger has been successfully crafted. Now we can fuse Ace with it, and Corpse Digger will be a mecha pilot from now Ace."
Levi was satisfied.
"Since you're so cruel, let's name you ' Tyrant '."
Levi, who had just returned with the Tyrant, handed the Tyrant over to Ace.
"Ace, merge into this guy's power core, and then pour your fire elemental power into it, little by little."
Levi said.
Ace nodded and nervously entered the body of the large creature that it feared.
"Let's begin."
Then, Levi saw the Tyrant's heart begin to burn with raging flames, just like his own furnace heart.
Immediately afterwards, layers of crimson flames erupted from the Tyrant's body, making him look majestic and extraordinary.
Levi chanted the incantation.
Then, crimson flames erupted from the Tyrant's eye sockets.
Because the energy of Great Stone is chaotic and contains all four elements, the energy of Great Stone is similar to chaotic and attribute-less, without obvious elemental characteristics.
However, Ace is a fire elemental, and when he entered, the entire Tyrant became Flame Tyrant.
Levi had a sudden thought.
The Alchemy Cannon on the Tyrant's chest suddenly appeared, and then fired a shot directly at himself.
A pillar of crimson flame erupted forth.
Li Wei's black gold scales were layered upon layered, and he wanted to test the power of the alchemical cannon.
Boom! Levi was blasted away by the terrifying shockwave.
It landed in the sea hundreds of meters away.
Ace quickly crawled out of the Tyrant's body.
It looked completely bewildered. "I didn't attack my owner..."
Levi's loud laughter echoed from the sea.
He arrived at Black Fire Island and watched as his charred scales gradually faded away.
"Very good, not much worse than the Greater Fireball Technique. This level of power is sufficient for First Ring Alchemy creature. In any case, the Tyrant mainly uses melee physical attacks, so these ranged attacks are just icing on the cake."
"When I have some free time, I'll learn Rune Words, and then I'll solidify a [Strength Rune] and a [Hermit Rune] on the Tyrant. That way, the Tyrant's strength will probably be about the same as Second Ring existence."
Levi doesn't have time to learn Rune Words right now; he needs to prioritize the liver Breathing Technique.
Once we've completely finished dealing with the Tyrant's affairs...
Levi looked at his Storage Bag; he still had nearly 20,000 Great Stone.
This is enough time for Levi to quietly cultivate himself.
Before going into seclusion.
A seagull from the Tower of Stars landed on the island, left a newspaper, and then departed.
"That's strange, it's not newspaper delivery time now."
Levi was puzzled, so he picked up the stone tablet and used his mental energy to examine the information inside.
[Urgent Notice]
The Black Wizard Emperor Astar, leading his army of Black Wizard from the City of Chaos, and the Chaos army led by the Four Evil Gods under the Lord of Chaos, have launched a five-pronged invasion of the five most distant Plane Federation under the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, instigating a rebellion in Five Great Federations! The forces of darkness are overwhelming, and the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council will not stand idly by! Now, the entire Wizard World will enter a state of war, preparing for a new round of dimensional expeditions.
The council decided that five Legendary Wizard would lead a Great Expedition to quell the rebellion.
Due to some objective reasons, the original expeditionary force is insufficient in strength. Therefore, the five Legendary Wizard have launched the first wave of recruitment across the entire territory! This round of recruitment will recruit 10,000 wizards! All formal members of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council can participate in the registration to form a total of ten new expeditionary forces, which will surely eliminate the Five Great Federations rebels and invaders.
All participants in the Great Expedition will receive a magical artifact matching their cultivation level. Furthermore, the wartime legion merit system will be activated. Completing their respective legion's missions will earn them corresponding merits, which can be exchanged for cultivation resources, magical artifacts, and knowledge inheritance in their legion's shop.
Those who distinguish themselves in battle will be granted corresponding positions in the Wizard Council after the war ends!
Those who refuse to participate in the conscription need to pay a corresponding amount of military expenses based on their own cultivation level.
We have been complacent for too long. The illustrious reputation established by Sauron, the progenitor of wizards, is gradually being forgotten. If this rebellion cannot be quelled, the fifty plane federations under the Pan-Plane Wizard Council will surely launch an even greater rebellion.
This operation is codenamed "The Five Realms Great Expedition"! —————— Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, Grand Council President, Blazing Sun God Wizard Eamon.
The Five Realms Great Expedition Era, Year One, is hereby proclaimed!
After reading it, Levi was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.
He had always thought that such Great Expedition was something far removed from his own life.
It's the background information in those history textbooks.
He never expected that, without any warning, the Great Expedition would begin so suddenly.
"Well."
Levi sighed silently.
"With my current strength, I definitely can't participate in the expedition; that's true Hell..."
At the same time, Levi's membership card emitted a warning beeping sound.
He took out his membership card, and information began to appear on it.
[ID...9527 Levi, please select "Register for Expedition" or "Pay Military Fees". If you choose to register for the expedition, please go to the "Battle Group Preparations Committee" in the Tower of Stars within one year. If you choose to pay military fees, you need to pay 2000 Great Stone at once, depending on your current membership level.
According to the "Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council Military Service Act," protecting Wizard Civilization is everyone's responsibility. Refusing to be drafted or pay the fees will result in the most severe punishment. Please make your choice promptly.
"It's alright, I can still afford two thousand, but it might be hard to say about those ordinary First-Circle Wizard without any background."
Levi thought of Winnie and the others, wondering if they had the money to pay for the military expenses. He figured that Teacher Mai Lin probably wouldn't let everyone go to the battlefield. The Gray-White Tower only had a few Formal Wizard, and if they were all on the battlefield, normal operation would be a problem.
The consequences of refusing to pay are very serious, and Levi doesn't want to become a shady Black Wizard over such a small amount of money.
In fact, in the early days of the establishment of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, Wizard Civilization was not as prosperous as it is now, and the number of Formal Wizard was also less than it is now, while the strength of the enemies was stronger and stronger.
Back then, if there were Great Expedition like this, apart from the necessary wizards who stayed behind to guard their homes, the entire population would have to join the army. There was no option to pay military expenses in lieu of military service.
The current military service law is already very humane.
In general, according to the laws personally established by Sauron, the progenitor of wizards, within a certain range, the higher a wizard's level, the higher the price of refusing military service.
Because in this level of civilization war, the main force is composed of mid-level and even High-Rank Wizard. Low-level wizards like Levi are just cannon fodder on the battlefield, or rather, they serve as logistical personnel.
Sauron set this rule because he fully considered that some powerful but cowardly wizards might use their power to evade conscription.
In any case, this conscription is mainly based on voluntary participation. It uses military merit and cultivation resources to entice more wizards to participate in the war. If you don't want to go, you can pay money.
In short, under the administration of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, apart from those Black Wizard who are utterly fearless, there is basically no way to evade military service.
"I wonder what the situation is like on the tower master's side."
Levi suddenly remembered the tower master who was still resurrecting his wife.
In the days that followed, Levi continued his spiritual practice while keeping a close eye on how things were developing.
Levi didn't care about the other wizarding organizations; he only hoped that the wizards of the Gray-White Tower would try their best not to participate in the expedition.
Although this was somewhat selfish, Levi genuinely didn't want to see these people die on the battlefield.
Great Expedition, the price they pay is not small. These Nameless, low-ranking wizards often die without anyone caring.
Each expedition lasted anywhere from three to five years to a century, during which countless resources and lives were consumed.
The Wizard Council comprises fifty large and small Plane Federation, which are essentially fifty colonies.
According to the Wizarding Geography course, if the entire universe is an endless "Darkness Zone" containing unknowns and dangers.
The so-called planes are actually "cave sites" that radiate the light of civilization. The original levels and sizes of these cave sites vary, and thus the planes are divided into different levels.
These "caves" are surrounded by thick "crystal walls," which protect them from the unknown darkness of the Darkness Zone.
Various civilizations arose from these underground caverns, and in some of them, even subspaces, or Land of the Faithless, emerged around them.
Beyond these planes, there are two special, transcendent, non-material planes. One of them is called the "Astral Realm," a world formed by the projection of the spiritual power of all planes, which only gods and some powerful beings can enter.
The other dimension is the "Underworld," where, according to legend, the souls of all living beings ultimately find their final resting place after death.
Of these many planes, after a long period of exploration and discovery by wizards and numerous colonial expeditions, fifty planes are directly managed by the Wizard Council. These fifty planes are referred to by the Wizard Council as the "Federal Plane".
The place that Astar and the Four Chaos Gods invaded this time was one of the larger planes.
Astar needs no introduction. As a regular reader of the Pan-Dimensional Truth Gazette, he is arguably the number one terrorist in the multiverse, the lord of the City of Chaos, and calls himself the "Black Wizard Emperor." He is the spiritual leader of many Black Wizard.
This was once Legendary Wizard of the Darkness Realm and the Dark Energy School, who even served as the Grand Council President. Unexpectedly, he was bewitched by the "Lord of Chaos" in the Astral Realm and became his divine son.
He later broke away from the Wizard Council, seized several planes on his own, established the City of Chaos, and spread the faith of the Lord of Chaos.
The Lord of Chaos also has another alias in the Seven Kingdoms Continent of the Mortal World Realm: the "Lord of the Wilds," the god worshipped by the Brotherhood of the Wilds.
Although the Lord of Chaos is not among the Seven True Gods of the plane where the Seven Kingdoms Continent is located, in many other planes, His influence is even greater than that of the Seven True Gods.
This being, residing high in the Astral Realm, is the "Chaos Wasteland," and has four henchmen active in multiple dimensions, known as the "Four Chaos Gods."
Father of Plague, Doom Lord, Lady Famine, and Grand Duke of Death! Although these four are not gods and do not exist in the Astral Realm, their true strength may not be much different from that of gods. They belong to the Quasi-God beings."The Four Evil Gods gods have been causing trouble in the multiverse for many years, realizing their self-worth by spreading plagues, famines, and all kinds of Calamity.
Based on Levi's research into the historical patterns of the Wizard World, such Legendary Realm- level interdimensional expeditions could potentially last for decades or even centuries.
Therefore, Levi felt that the world might not be as peaceful as it had been in the next hundred years.
Therefore, he must improve his strength as quickly as possible. If the situation develops to a chaotic point, Levi will return to the Mortal World to avoid danger for a while.
He'll wait until this Great Expedition ends before returning.
However, going to the Mortal World also presents a problem. A year or two is fine, but if one were to spend decades or even centuries in the Mortal World, it would severely hinder a wizard's cultivation. Moreover, the Mortal World is not necessarily safe.
There are probably quite a few wizards who share the same idea, and chaos is inevitable. It remains to be seen how the Church will respond.
The first year of the Five Realms Great Expedition.
The year 1036 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Furnace.
The recruitment campaign is in full swing across the entire territory. In addition to the established warbands that are permanently under the Wizard Council, ten new warbands have been recruited for this expedition.
The wizards recruited this time will be assigned to new battlebands and undergo special training.
To Levi's relief, no wizards from the Gray-White Tower participated in the conscription; everyone chose to pay the military expenses, thus avoiding further trouble.
Mu Di, however, escaped this calamity because he was merely Wizard Apprentice.
In this kind of interdimensional war, apprentices are not even considered cannon fodder, so they are not included in each conscription. Rather than letting apprentices die in vain, it is better to leave the seeds of the future for the Wizard World.
So far, the largest number of applicants are those Rogue Wizard have no money or power, and wizards from some mid- to High-Rank Wizard organizations.
The Rogue Wizard either couldn't afford to pay military expenses or were simply attracted by the rewards of military merit.
Meanwhile, the wizards of the mid-to -High-Rank Wizard organizations were assigned to the army by their organizations. For these mid-to -High-Rank Wizard organizations, which were not lacking in money or knowledge, they were more concerned about the parliamentary positions they might obtain after the war. What they wanted was more say and status!
In short, given the current sheer size of the Wizard World, recruiting ten thousand wizards wouldn't be difficult. However, whether these wizards could become qualified chapter wizards remains to be seen.
No matter how chaotic and unsettling the outside world may be.
Black Fire Island.
Levi methodically gathered his experience, and his Golden Serpent Breathing Technique was getting closer and closer to the twelfth level. At this moment, nothing was more important than this.
However, it's still unknown whether the Tower Master's resurrection of Stella was successful; there has been no news of him for a long time.
During the Month of Harvest.
Levi's Greater Fireball Technique has also been upgraded to the Sixth-Order Limit, reaching the upper limit of A-level attack power that First-Circle Spell can achieve.
As for the Ghost Fire Body, it has already reached the Fourth Order, and basically Levi's two arms and two legs have all been transformed into elements.
This left him speechless; the most important part was actually the final realization of elementalization.
After this period of training, Levi's mental strength limit reached 35 points, which can be considered as stabilizing his level Senior First Ring Wizard. However, he is still 15 points away from the limit of 50 points for First-Circle Wizard.
At the current rate, Levi will likely reach the limit of the First Ring and break through to the Second Ring around the age of fifty.
Although there was still some time before the Second Ring was reached, Levi had already begun preparing the potion for the [Eye Demon Gaze].
This Second Ring breakthrough potion, aside from the materials needed for the auxiliary potions, requires as many as five rare materials for its main ingredients. Through Levi's deliberate collection over the years, he has already gathered four of the main ingredients, including the Wind Chasing Grass.
Only the last and most crucial ingredient, the Eye of the Eye Demon, is still missing.
Eye Demon creatures generally only exist in another powerful plane comparable to Wizard Civilization.
The Abyss Plane.
If the Nine Hells are Paradise for the dead and demons, then the Abyss Plane is the lair of evil.
Historically, the Wizard Civilization and the Abyss Civilization have fought wars more than once, with each side winning and losing, but overall they were evenly matched.
The Abyss Civilization has never given up its invasion of the Wizard World, and it comes to cause trouble every now and then. However, it has been two thousand years since the last Abyss invasion.
Levi felt that the Abyss Plane might take advantage of this opportunity of the plane's convergence and the resurgence of the Demon Tide to make a comeback, which would lead to even greater chaos in both the Mortal World and the Wizard World.
The Wizard Civilization has High-Rank Wizard, Great Wizard, and Legendary Wizard, while the Abyss Civilization also has powerful demon lords.
So far, 666th Floor of the Abyss have been explored, each with a powerful demon lord. The weakest of these lords is at least a high-level Primal Soul Wizard. The deeper one goes, the stronger the demon lords become. Even the Astral Realm gods have suffered many losses at the hands of these demon lords.
The Eye Demon is a Second Order demon, with strength similar to Second-Ring Wizard, belonging to the category of lower-ranking demons.
Levi asked Teacher Mai Lin, and she learned that after a long period of hunting, there are not many Eye Demon left in the Wizard World. The one Mai Lin had was purchased at a high price from a wizard who was exploring ancient ruins.
Therefore, in today's world, the Eye Demon may only still exist in some lost ancient ruins.
This reminded Levi of the sea chart he had obtained before, which recorded an ancient ruin called the Lost Pan God Grotto.
He planned to wait until he broke through the Legendary Realm barrier and reached the twelfth level of the Golden Snake before taking some time to wander around the Pan God Grotto and see if he could make any discoveries.
In addition, Levi never stopped inquiring about the whereabouts of the extraordinary creatures needed for those Secret Medicine.
While Levi was quietly cultivating, the Wizard World was in turmoil due to this sudden Great Expedition.
The western part of the Yellow Earth Continent.
The Flame King Aisidi Family.
Inside Lei Man's Wizard Tower.
The Flame Prince, who was high and mighty within the family, was now bowing and scraping, holding an ancient black mirror with a respectful expression.
On the surface of the Dark Realm, a phantom of a black sun slowly emerged, and in front of the phantom, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe and wearing a witch's hat was projected.
"Lei Man greets Teacher Adam!"
Lei Man said excitedly.
The figure who appeared in the Aisidi Wizard Tower as a projection was none other than Black Sun Adam Black Sun Tower and a high-level Primal Soul Wizard!
No need for formalities.
Adam said calmly.
Although it was just a projection of a communication device, Aisidi still felt a suffocating sense of oppression in front of this high-level Primal Soul Wizard.
High-Rank Wizard are true powerhouses throughout the entire Wizard Civilization.
After all, even if you include the fifty Federal Plane under the council, the total number of Legendary Wizard and Great Wizard does not exceed one hundred.
Such beings rarely show their faces, so to some extent, high-level Primal Soul Wizard represent the pinnacle of combat power in the Wizard World in the conventional sense, making them almost invincible.
"Lei Man was quite taken aback when Mr. Adam suddenly contacted me. I didn't know what it was about that I could handle," Lei Man asked.
"Lei Man, do you know why I agreed to take you on as my apprentice?" Adam asked.
"Because I have Earth-Fire Dual Element Affinity," Lei Man said confidently.
Adam laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Lei Man was puzzled, but dared not express it.
I am a person with dual elemental affinity. Although I can't compare to a true genius like my teacher, I am still one in a million. What's so funny?
"Dual elemental affinity, haha, in my Adam, let alone dual elemental affinity, even the Child of Element is nothing special. Out of a hundred geniuses with dual elemental affinity, not even one might become a high-level Primal Soul Wizard. The reason I took you as my disciple was because of the bloodline within you," Adam said.
"Bloodline... Is there anything special about the bloodline of our Aisidi Family?" Lei Man asked.
Adam shook his head. "No, the bloodline of your Aisidi Family is ordinary and not worth mentioning. However, your Aisidi Family's ancestor once made a [Demon Pact] with a high-ranking demon from the Abyss, and the result of this pact is the trace of [Upper Abyss Blood] in your body. This high-ranking demon is the demon lord of the 6th layer of the Abyss, the [Molten Mountain Demon Bat].
This is a high-ranking demon lord comparable to a high-level Primal Soul Wizard. If you can activate this trace of bloodline, your talent will be in no way inferior to the Child of Fire Element.
Upon hearing this, Lei Man's face lit up with excitement. "Teacher, what should I do?"
As long as he can gain power, who cares if it's demon blood or not? As long as he's powerful, that's all that matters. Lei Man saw through this long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have betrayed the council and secretly sided with the Black Sun Adam.
"Slaughter! Like the demons of the Abyss, slaughter, destroy, end everything! Use your killing will to turn this world into Abyss! Only in this way can the Upper Abyss Blood within you awaken, and only then can you obtain the power from the Molten Mountain Demon Bat!" Adam said in an extremely seductive voice.
Upon hearing this, a flame-like mark resembling a bat appeared in Lei Man's pupils, and an endless bloodlust seemed to surge within him.
However, being Third-Ring Wizard, he calmed himself down with his powerful mental strength and willpower, and asked solemnly, "Teacher, are there any other ways besides killing? Killing might activate and stimulate the bloodline, but that would easily attract the attention of the enforcers of the Tower of Stars..."
Adam shook his head, staring at Lei Man with eyes as black as a hole, and then sighed in an elder's tone, "Your heart of killing is not firm enough, my disciple!"
"There's no need to worry about the Tower of Stars, because they'll soon be in trouble themselves. The Five Great Federations rebellions orchestrated by Lord Astar are just the first step in their resistance against the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council."
Next, the Endless Sea Free Wizard Alliance, led by my master and the Hundred Beast Mad Wizard, will also rise up in rebellion.
The same applies to other Land of the Faithless.
Wizards across the world who yearn for freedom have long suffered under the tyranny of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council!
Star Fire can start a prairie fire. What kind of wizard are we if we can't do what we want? We are not Black Wizard; we are simply wizards who yearn for freedom and crave unbridled liberation!
What is truth?
Power and freedom are the truth! A free world must be won through bloodshed.
Once the expeditionary force embarks on its journey, it will be time for our resistance! Abyss City will fall! The Tower of Stars will fall!
Next, you, along with Flame Master Kraul and Whale Song Lonely Island Morpheus, will join forces to take over Seventh District, Eighth District, Ninth District.
By the way, the Overseer of Seventh District, the Fifth Ring Wizard Terris, is also one of ours. He's the one who saved Morpheus from Whale Song Lonely Island. Just don't bother him unless absolutely necessary, to avoid prematurely revealing his identity.
"I see. Now I feel more confident. Thank you, teacher. Freedom and power are exactly what I'm looking for!"
Lei Man was excited, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He realized that his teacher's ambition was so great!
"No need to thank me. I'm just pointing you in the right direction. If you want to strengthen your Abyss Blood, feed it with those blooming flowers of slaughter."
After Black Sun Adam finished speaking, the projection disappeared, and the Black Mirror returned to normal.
Lei Man's face darkened, then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Before long, a brand new era will begin. Let the deaths of some people ignite the first fire that will start this new era."
The year 1036 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the Freezing Winter.
The first and second warbands of the Great Expedition are ready and led by the Legendary Wizard of the Combustion Faction, [Dragon Flame God Wizard Rego], to set off first to support the garrison of the Five Great Federations.
Levi worked day and night in a frantic, all-consuming effort.
Levi's Golden Serpent Breathing Technique finally reached level twelve, and he opened the Proficiency Panel.
