Levi noticed that, unlike in the past, this time, the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique was not at its limit after the twelfth level.

After incorporating the Golden Horn Breathing Technique, the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique can not only be upgraded to the twelfth level, but Levi can also advance to the thirteenth level in one go.

After breaking through the shackles of the Legendary Realm, it seems that many things are different from before the Legendary Realm.

"This also means that, apart from those few Breathing Technique that haven't broken through their limits yet, I won't need to go through the trouble of finding materials to break through the limits of Breathing Technique for a long time."

Of course, given Levi's personality, he would definitely let Andrew continue collecting them, just in case.

Regardless, this relieved Levi.

There are only so many Breathing Technique in the world. If you can only level up once every time you break through a limit, then as the level of the Breathing Technique increases, there simply won't be enough Breathing Technique to break through limits.

In hindsight, Levi was overthinking things.

He looked at the Proficiency Panel.

[Scale of Genesis: You have passed the stage of Black Qi transforming into scales. The budding Bloodline Seed within you has given you true Golden Serpent Scales. Although these scales resemble newly hatched Golden Snake larvae, they still possess extraordinary defensive power. This effect can be continuously upgraded as the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique improves.] Levi introspects on his heart.

On the outer layer of the furnace's heart, the winding Golden Snake now appear more real than ever before, their eyes seemingly possessing true life and becoming more lively.

"Therefore, the Seed of Life of Knight is actually... the Bloodline Seed. When one enters the Knight stage, the extremely faint trace of the bloodline of the Primal Ancestor within the body is condensed into the life seed."

The so-called Breathing Technique involves cultivating oneself by consuming Secret Medicine and using specific breathing rhythms and postures to continuously refine the seed of life, making the power of the bloodline within the body increasingly concentrated.

Knight, Great Knight, Legendary Knight.

The seed of life undergoes transformation time and time again.

Now, at my current level, the Seed of Life has transformed into the [Bloodline Seed].

Levi gazed intently at the Golden Snake -shaped Bloodline Seed; he could sense the miniature Golden Snake's yearning for bloodline power.

Only by constantly acquiring bloodlines can the Golden Snake grow. Breathing Technique are the methods, but the bloodlines themselves are the raw materials!

This longing.

This made Levi realize something.

"In that case, this new realm after the Legendary Realm can be called... the Blood Thirst Realm."

"If the Legendary Knight is the Blood Awakened Knight, the Qidian of the extraordinary, then the Blood Thirst Knight is the Qidian for the growth of bloodline."

Just as a newborn baby awakens and yearns for breast milk, the Golden Serpent Bloodline within me has awakened; it too is thirsty, it yearns... for blood. Legendary Realm is the embryonic stage of development, Bloodthirst is the postnatal nursing period.

In this way, Levi, based on his own understanding, created the true realm beyond the Legendary Realm.

Blood Thirst Knight! Once Levi has a deeper understanding of the Blood Thirst Realm, he might be able to come up with a feasible method for a Legendary Knight to break through to the Blood Thirst Knight.

If the path of Knight has no future, then Levi will be the only guide from this day forward!

"Now, I need to test the defensive power of the Scale of Genesis and see how much defensive boost the 12th-tier Golden Snake has given me."

Levi stretched his limbs, stood up, and flicked his tongue, waving it in the air. The tongue in his mouth was much longer now; if it was only a foot long before, Levi could now stretch to three feet! This was a change that occurred in his Extraordinary Organ after reaching the twelfth level of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique.

Levi's snake tongue perception range has expanded compared to when he was at the Eleventh Order.

Furthermore, the accuracy of his perception and the storage capacity of his database have also improved.

Apart from that, no new Legendary Realm organs were born after reaching the Blood Thirst Realm.

Or rather, the Scale of Genesis are actually the new Legendary Realm organs.

As for the single horn on its forehead, it has also undergone new changes. The horn is more solid, and there are spiral patterns on it.

However, something still seemed to be blocking the horn, and Levi couldn't shoot it out.

"It seems that this horn is some kind of organ that can unleash a powerful attack, so it has very high requirements for bloodline."

Levi touched the unicorn horn, and the feeling of touching it was strange.

Legend has it that the Golden Horned Beast's single horn can unleash terrifying rays of light capable of annihilating an entire world.

Therefore, Levi believed that this unicorn would not disappoint him.

As soon as Levi came out, he saw Ace bullying Drogon.

After such a long period of PUA, Drogon has been completely captivated by Levi's personal charm.

"Ace, come here." Levi said coldly.

Ace floated over slowly.

Levi gazed at the Tyrant Corpse Digger standing on that side.

"Go in and spar with me," Levi said.

Ace nodded, how could he dare to disobey?

It burrowed into the body of the Corpse Digger, and then the Corpse Digger was engulfed in crimson flames, rumbling and shaking the earth.

Reid, Drogon, Igo, Leviathan, and others watched the battle with curiosity.

Of all the pets Levi keeps now, only Ace, Corpse Digger, can barely put up a fight against him.

Levi arrived at the sea.

He waved to Ace.

"Let's begin! Don't hold back, attack me with all your might!"

Levi spoke calmly and confidently.

The Corpse Digger nodded, and then the machinery roared, and Alchemy runes lit up.

Whoosh! The Corpse Digger flew into the air and shot towards the sea, creating a wave on the surface.

Boom! The fifty-ton behemoth collided with Levi.

In terms of sheer strength, even Levi, who possesses Legendary Strength, is no match for the Corpse Digger.

After a tremendous collision, countless splashes of water erupted on the sea surface.

Levi retreated a hundred meters on the sea surface.

"That's great, Ace. Your teamwork with the Corpse Digger is getting better and better," Levi praised.

Ace couldn't resist praise; once he was praised, he got all excited.

The Tyrant Giant Shield, just like Captain America's shield, flew towards Levi with a loud whooshing sound.

"Good timing!"

Dark golden scales appeared one by one on Levi's right fist, exuding an aura of ancient wilderness.

These scales seem to come from distant years, having traversed a long period of time.

Bang! The shield was smashed away by Levi's punch.

Levi also retreated some distance.

These dark gold scales hummed, and their surface seemed to be covered with cracks, but as they shimmered with golden light, the cracks quickly healed.

These golden rays are essentially the Golden Snake Black Qi within Levi's body. However, after advancing to the Legendary Realm level, the Black Qi of various Breathing Technique is no longer black, but has its own distinct characteristics.

The Corpse Digger's powerful shield slam could shatter almost any First-Circle Wizard's prized magical defenses, but it failed to break Levi's scales.

Levi leaped across the sea, his feet treading on the waves, soaring dozens of meters high before his fists clashed fiercely with the giant axe of the Corpse Digger.

Click.

Under the Tyrant's power, comparable to that of Second Ring transcendent being, the giant axe barely tore through Levi's scale defenses, causing blood to flow freely and his hand bones to shatter.

The Tyrant seemed about to stop, but Levi said, "Continue!"

His bloodied palms shattered many harmless scales, revealing the mangled flesh and bare white bones beneath, as well as blue runes.

Even Levi's scales couldn't completely block the Tyrant's strongest axe attack, and First-Circle Spell like Stone Body could only weaken its power.

After all, someone once used the Corpse Digger's powerful melee ability to defeat a stronger opponent, tearing apart Second-Ring Wizard's defensive force field and killing him.

Although Levi's Scale of Genesis possess the defensive power of a normal Second-Ring Spell, they are still newly born and need some time to grow.

Thanks to Blood Ash's powerful regenerative abilities, Levi's bloodied and mangled hands have been completely healed, with scales covering them again.

The Tyrant unleashed a terrifying Alchemy Cannon!

Boom! This time, Levi wasn't blasted far away.

He emerged from the firelight unharmed, except for his scales being slightly charred.

The First Ring Alchemy Cannon that used to be able to blast off some of his scales can no longer break through Levi's defenses.

Finally, after controlling the Tyrant and fighting himself for a hundred rounds, Levi reluctantly ended the battle, considering that Ace was about to die.

After Levi's test.

He felt that the current defensive strength of the Scale of Genesis was roughly equivalent to a C-level Second Ring defensive spell.

As the proficiency of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique increases, the defensive power of the Scale of Genesis will also continue to improve. Levi estimates that when the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique approaches the thirteenth level, the Scale of Genesis should be roughly at the level of an A-grade Second Ring defensive spell.

In that case, Levi would be equivalent to Second-Ring Wizard, possessing a persistent defensive force field, and he wouldn't need to consume Art Power, only physical strength.

Having adapted to almost all the changes after the twelfth level of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, Levi looked at the Breathing Technique he had left.

The three Breathing Technique — Red Lotus, Blood Beast, and Black Whale —are also progressing towards the twelfth rank. Among them, Red Lotus and Black Whale, due to their extraordinary Secret Medicine, are cultivating much faster than Blood Beast.

The Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique is also nearing its Eleventh-Order Limit, with the Holy Ape Breathing Technique close behind.

"Next, I can prepare to return to the Mortal World, meet Anderson and the Black Knight, and while I'm at it, capture a few Original Blood Clan and try to bring them back," Levi murmured to himself.

He now possesses the defensive power of Second Ring, and with his three forms and the Rotation Power, his offensive power is also at the level of Second Ring.

He believed he possessed combat strength roughly Second Ring.

Things that we didn't dare to try before due to insufficient strength, we will do one by one in the next few years.

Leaving aside the giant ape on the Yellow Earth Continent, that creature is suspected to be an ancient variant with immense power. Levi feels he needs to advance to the Second Ring of his wizarding realm before he can confidently subdue it. The same applies to the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile in the uninhabited waters of the Ninth District and Eighth District.

As for wizarding cultivation, Levi's current mental strength is only 40 points. Although this is considered a high level among Senior First Ring Wizard, it is still not the limit.

Over the years, he has not learned any new First-Circle Spell, but instead intends to dedicate his remaining mental energy to Rune Words and the Second-Ring Spell model he plans to build.

In summary, given Levi's current speed of Meditation Technique practice, he should be able to become Second-Ring Wizard before he turns fifty, which is around 1040 in the Holy Radiance Calendar.

As for the Lost Pan God Grotto, which he had previously planned to visit, Levi intended to check out the specific situation there in a few days.

After cultivating for a few more days and consolidating his Blood Thirst Knight realm, Levi discovered that the effects of the Golden Snake Secret Medicine he had previously refined had decreased considerably after entering the Blood Thirst Realm, but he could still barely cultivate.

At the current rate, it would take about ten years to advance to the thirteenth level.

According to Levi's estimation, the thirteenth level of the Breathing Technique should correspond to the Third Ring environmental realms of the wizard.

This speed is neither fast nor slow, and it's barely acceptable. If he had the second-level Golden Snake Secret Medicine, he might be able to advance to the thirteenth level in seven or eight years.

"Next, we need to quickly raise the wizard to the Second Ring of the environment and master some Second-Ring Spell. Then we'll subdue the Sea Hag Dragon Crocodile and use the second-level Golden Snake Secret Medicine as soon as possible."

With his strength greatly increased, Levi did not forget the Gray-White Tower.

He left Black Fire Island to return to teaching, and also wanted to find out about the Tower Master's recent situation.

The Gray-White Tower.

The atmosphere inside the tower now seems different from before the Great Expedition era.

During times of war, everyone carries a great deal of invisible pressure, which transforms into motivation, driving wizards to train even harder.

"Teacher, has the Tower Master sent any news yet?" Levi asked, seeing Mai Lin watering the flowers.

"That's it. That guy is such a worry. Could he have been drafted?" Mai Lin sighed.

Only Levi and Mai Lin knew about the tower master's departure, because they were worried that there was a mole within the tower who would leak the news.

Whale Song Lonely Island has been dormant for a long time, and Levi estimates that with Whale Song Lonely Island resources, it has probably recovered quite well.

In the coming Autumn of Chaos, this ambitious organization may make some underhanded moves.

These are all things that Levi is worried about.

"Teacher, I plan to leave the Wizard World for a while," Levi said.

"Back to the Mortal World?" Mai Lin, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you perhaps still have some attachments in the mortal realm? That place is not suitable for wizards to cultivate. It's alright for apprentices, but if a formal wizard or higher stays in the mortal realm for too long, their cultivation may regress instead of progress. There's a reason why Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, chose the Land of the Believers as the home of wizards. Well... since you've already made your decision, you must have had your own thorough considerations, so I won't try to persuade you anymore."

I've heard things are quite chaotic in the Mortal World right now. If you insist on going, then be careful. Try not to use your magical abilities in the Mortal World, and don't reveal your wizard identity. The Seven Gods and the Wizard Council have always been at odds. Although the Church of the Seven Kingdoms is currently weak and feeble, even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. Remember not to clash with the Church.

Mai Lin reminded her.

"Teacher, I know. I'm just going to the Mortal World to take care of some things. I'll probably be back soon."

Levi knew that wizards were unpopular among Mortal World.

Ever since Sauron, the progenitor of wizards, led the legendary wizards in a true war against some of the Seven Gods long ago, the relationship between the Seven Gods and the wizards has been strained.

According to the wizarding general knowledge course, after that battle, the Heavenly Father, one of the Seven Gods, instructed the Holy Radiance Church to fabricate false myths in the Mortal World to confuse the public and Black Wizard, saying that wizards were the product of the Saint's Remains and that they were banished to the Land of the Faithless because they were punished by the gods.

In reality, wizards voluntarily entered the Land of the Faithless because after the battle between the gods and wizards, the elemental power of the Mortal World gradually thinned and dissipated, leading to the so-called "Age of Declining Magic".

Only physical Rune Seal like Knight, who do not require elemental power, or those from the Four Great Families who combine bloodline and magic, can barely cultivate in the Mortal World.

But the wizard knew that the elemental power wouldn't just disappear for no reason.

Ultimately, the wizards discovered subspaces that were both dependent Mortal World and independent of the Mortal World world.

This place is much larger than the Mortal World, and the elemental power here is much denser. Moreover, the power of the Astral Realm gods can hardly penetrate into this place. It is simply Land of Peach Blossoms for wizards to cultivate.

This is the Land of the Faithless, which is also the origin of the Wizard World.

Currently, the relationship between the Seven Gods and the Wizard Civilization is very delicate. The Seven Gods are very powerful, and their followers are spread across many multidimensional planes.

However, the Seven Gods cannot leave the Astral Realm and can only interfere in the multiverse by Saint Incarnation, or by sending their seated "angels" to roam the Mortal World.

This created a subtle, tacit balance with the Wizard Civilization.

The Seven Gods do not enter the Warp to interfere with the wizards, and the wizards do not go to the Mortal World to interfere with the gods' faith. Everyone lives in peace, and this remains the case to this day.

However, Levi's main purpose in going to the Mortal World this time is to capture Blood Clan, and he does not intend to clash with the Church for the time being.

And so, Levi and the Tower took a long leave of absence, and the pharmacist course was taught by one of his Advanced Potion-Making Apprentice.

He probably won't be coming to the Gray-White Tower as often for a while.

After bidding farewell to his teacher, Levi returned to Black Fire Island to continue his training.

Before long, Levi also reached the limit of his Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique.

Levi ——————

Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique: Eleventh Order (Limit), Special Effect: Silver Dragon Spine (Solid State).

This Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique was obtained from Earl Silver Mountain, and now Levi has pushed it to its limit, thus fulfilling Earl Silver Mountain's dream of cultivating his ancestral Breathing Technique to the Legendary Realm.

Following the Legendary Realm Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique, a similar special effect was created, which is the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique Dragon Spine, representing extraordinary endurance.

The Silver Dragon Spine is just a higher level, but in essence it is no different from the Dragon Spine.

The Legendary Realm organ that emerged after the Legendary Realm Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique was Levi's "tendon".

Within Levi's body, those meridians, as condensed as mercury, were attached to his limbs and bones; he called them "Silver Tendon."

Levi has not yet fully understood the effects of the Silver Tendon. Based on his preliminary experimental results, the Silver Tendon slightly enhances Levi's physical attributes such as flexibility, explosive power, and endurance.

Apart from this, Levi has not discovered any other uses for the Silver Tendon.

He always felt that the function of this tendon was not limited to this, and that he might need to gradually explore its potential.

After reaching the limit of the Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique, Levi used the previous Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique and the rudimentary level Endurance Breathing Technique as materials to break the limit of the Silver Mountain Dragon.

After breaking the limit, the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique left Levi with a slightly ugly camel hump as a legacy, which, like the blood sac, became a relic of the era.

To be honest, the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique was indeed a bit ugly, so Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

If you were to use the Hunchback Dragon Breathing Technique as your main endurance training method, your appearance would drop by at least 50%.

In this way, Levi has already gathered the Legendary Defense, strength, endurance, speed, and physique, leaving only the Legendary Perception.

Perception-based Breathing Technique are extremely rare, and it's even rarer to see someone cultivate them directly to the Legendary Realm, so Levi decided to leave it to fate.

With his current Top-Tier Perception and Top-Tier Vision, combined with the Black Serpent's Tongue, it's barely enough.

Not to mention, Levi himself is a wizard, and wizards can also use mental power and detection spells to perceive things.

Three months after breaking through the limits of the Silver Mountain Dragon Breathing Technique, Levi finally figured out the function of the Silver Tendon.

During a sparring session with Corpse Digger, Levi discovered that as his body's muscles stretched and contracted during the intense battle, the Silver Tendon densely packed within him began to release a pale blue current under friction, much like leaky high-voltage wires.

This discovery shocked Levi immensely.

He became an alien Canadian electric eel?

The purpose of the Silver Tendon is actually to generate electricity!

After some analysis, Levi concluded that the Silver Tendon can only release electricity during Levi's high-intensity combat or exercise.

The current intensity is roughly equivalent to First Ring Thunder Faction spell.

This discovery filled Levi with ecstatic joy.

Based on this ability of the Silver Tendon, he created a new move.

Lightning Flash Strike! The key to Lightning Flash Strike is to unleash the maximum amount of electricity from the Silver Tendon through high-speed attacks.

It can inflict physical damage as well as magical damage, enough to electrocute or paralyze powerful enemies.

It's a pity that such a powerful move...

Levi, however, could not find a suitable opponent to spar with.

Because the Corpse Digger is immune to ordinary electric attacks, and Levi's other pets are too weak.

For a moment, Levi felt a profound sense of loneliness, as if his life were as desolate as snow.

He stopped wasting time and began preparing for his journey through the Mortal World.

Of course, before heading to the Mortal World, he had to first visit the Lost Pan God Grotto.

The year 1037 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Green Grass.

Year 2 of the Great Expedition Era.

After more than a year of intensive recruitment efforts across the entire territory, all ten battle groups have been prepared.

Led by legendary wizards, a grand expedition across the five realms began.

Because the Five Great Federations are quite far from the Wizard World, this expedition will take a considerable amount of time just to travel there.

Even with the most advanced teleportation technology in the Wizard World today, teleportation can only be carried out within the current plane or nearby planes. To undertake expeditions across multiple planes, it is still necessary to use the Legendary Wizard's "Sky City" for high-speed travel in the Darkness Zone.

Sky City is the most advanced war fortress developed by the Legendary Wizard of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, and one of the few means of transportation that can safely traverse the Darkness Zone.

So far, such Sky City are only available to Legendary Wizard.

Besides, only high-ranking wizards can traverse the Darkness Zone with their Origin Soul, but they will face attacks from various unknown dangers in the Darkness Zone.

The five Legendary Wizard leading this expedition are: Dragon Flame God Wizard Rego of the Combustion Faction, Deep Blue Sage Luther of the Ocean Faction, Frost Witch Gulveig of the Frost Faction, Thousand Mountains Undying Alexander of the Earth Faction, and Storm Gale Sky Guardian Marvin Storm School.

These five Legendary Wizard, shining like stars, are now, under the watchful eyes of the entire Wizard World, piloting their respective Sky City. Using the Legendary Realm spells solidified on their Sky City, they temporarily tear apart the thick crystal wall surrounding the warp, heading towards the boundless, Darkness Zone.

As Sky City slowly disappeared into the dark crack, the crystal wall gradually healed.

"The Great Expedition has begun! Charge!"

"Only wizards are immortal, only truth endures!"

Sky City, imbued with the essence of Wizard Civilization, slowly disappeared.

Levi saw that shocking scene in the newspaper.

At this moment, even he couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement and passion!

I can't wait to set foot in Sky City and follow in the footsteps of that Legendary Wizard to conquer the five realms!

"This is the greatness of Wizard Civilization, not in the brilliance of individuals, but in the charm of the group! We started from humble beginnings, banded together for warmth, and worked hard to build a brilliant Wizard Civilization. Generation after generation of wizards stood on the shoulders of their predecessors, pursuing the untouchable truth! With mortal bodies, we touched the authority of the gods and performed extraordinary deeds!"

We have endured countless wars of civilization, we have stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods, and we Abyssal Blood War for thousands of years. We will not fall, nor will we admit defeat!

Because we are wizards!

—Grand Council President, Blazing Sun God Wizard Eamon, pre-battle speech in the second year of the Great Expedition Era!

Eamon's speech, like his self-created Legendary Realm spell Eternal Blazing Sun, ignited the passion deep within every wizard's heart.

In Darkness Zone Wu Yin darkness, countless stars twinkled, shining like stars in the darkness.

These are planes of existence, most of which are chaotic lands unsuitable for the birth of life and civilization, with only a few being civilized planes.

The Sky City of the Deep Blue Sage quietly set off towards the destination of this expedition.

On this war fortress called the Deep Blue City, the wizards of the Ninth and Tenth Warbands, led by the Deep Blue Sage, were curiously gazing at this sight they had never seen before.

Among so many wizards, two spheres stood out.

One big ball and one small ball.

It was the tower owner and his wife Stella.

"Did you tell them about your participation in the expedition?" Stella asked.

"I told them, and I reckon they'll get the news soon enough. Then they'll curse me for being a scoundrel who secretly ran away with his wife and abandoned the Gray-White Tower," Herman said.

"You're definitely not human, and neither am I. We're both balls. Herman, can't you have a more sophisticated sense of aesthetics..." Stella said helplessly.

"My aesthetic sense is very sophisticated. According to the wizard's research, the sphere is the most reasonable and perfect shape in the universe, so the planes are basically spherical. The sun and stars in the Darkness Zone are also spheres," Herman argued.

Stella snorted, rolled to the edge of Sky City, and stared silently at the endless darkness.

Herman rolled over and said, "I've thought a lot during these years of preparing to resurrect you."

Since we've already embarked on this path of no return— Alchemy —we might as well go even further.

After the start of this Great Expedition, I heard that the Deep Blue Sage's warband was heading to the plane of the Alchemy School, the Myriad Machine Plane, and that's when I made up my mind.

"We'll take this opportunity to go there, hone our skills in battle, and pursue a higher level of Alchemy."

"What if we die in the Myriad Machine Plane?"

"Then let them become Alchemy remains, buried deep in the earth, and watch the Azure Sea change from sea to land."

Endless Sea, Gray-White Tower.

"What? Herman! You old bastard!"

It was rare for Mai Lin to swear, but she did so very gently.

She looked at the letter the messenger had brought.

"My dearest Mai Lin, please forgive my abrupt departure. I recently resurrected my beloved wife Stella."

By the time you read this letter, the two of us—no, the two Alchemy orbs—should already be on our way to Sky City in the Myriad Machine Plane.

For many years of my life, I have strived and struggled for the Wizard Tower that my teacher Salman passed down to me.

I still remember your freckled face, looking so nervous and uneasy when you first came to the tower, as well as Marco, that serious little boy, and Tim, that little guy who could get along with anyone.

During this time, some wizards came and went, and I didn't try to stop them. Only you, on this godforsaken little island in the Outer Ninth District, accompanied me through a long period of time.

After saying all this, I just want to tell you...

I'm passing this tower master position to you, Mai Lin! Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised?

Now there are so many excellent wizards in the tower, and there is this young man named Levi whom I can't understand at all. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we should not be afraid, but face them bravely!

Of course, if you encounter any danger that you cannot handle after I leave, please do not hesitate to seek help from Starry Sky Inspector Morty of Ninth District. Morty is a friend of my teacher Salman, and he will lend a hand.

— Herman, written in the second year of the Great Expedition Era.

The year 1037 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Black Fire Island.

Levi looked at the letter sent by Teacher Mai Lin with a worried expression.

"Master Tower, this..."

Levi wanted to curse but stopped himself.

I, this heartless man who abandoned his territory and people, seem to have no right to speak ill of the tower lord.

It's only right to pursue the life you want.

Regardless, the Tower Master successfully resurrected Stella, Levi was genuinely happy for him.

"The Myriad Machine Plane Origin Land of the Alchemy School. Perhaps the Tower Master, this Alchemy genius, will have a place here. I should be worried about myself."

After tidying up Black Fire Island, Levi prepared enough Secret Medicine for himself to use for about a year, which Levi the extraordinary creatures on Black Fire Island one by one.

Once these creatures had recovered sufficiently, Levi left them behind to guard Black Fire Island.

He then took the four great generals— the Living Dead, the Holy Armor Scorpion, Ace, and the Tyrant —and left Black Fire Island aboard the Leviathan.

He was going to the Starry Sea Area, and then using Subspace Teleportation Gate, he would travel to Mortal World.

Having been away from the Mortal World for nearly twenty years, he rose from a Low-Grade Wizard Apprentice to Senior First Ring Wizard.

It also broke through the Legendary Realm constraints that had plagued so many Legendary Knight.

Now, he, Levi, Nameless in the Wizard World, has returned!

Of course, before heading to the Mortal World, Levi planned to take a look at the Lost Pan God Grotto.

Two weeks later.

Levi arrived at a dangerous sea area.

This is the location of the Lost Pan God Grotto.

According to the nautical chart, Levi activated his full senses to search for clues to ancient ruins.

In dangerous waters, the number of marine animals is significantly greater than outside.

When Levi arrived at the area marked on the map, he found that although there was an island there, there was no sign of it at all.

"Could it be that the island sank?"

Levi gazed at the bottomless sea below, which seemed like the maw of a colossal beast that devoured everything.

Based on his current perception, he could sense that there was no danger in the deep sea, only some First Ring sea beasts.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Levi hid inside Leviathan's mouth, letting Leviathan swim towards the deep sea.

Hundreds of feet, thousands of feet...

The depth of the sea in this place amazed Levi.

It's a thousand feet deep, but there's still no bottom.

It sensed no danger ahead, and the Spider Sense gave no warning.

Levi continued to dive down.

Unbeknownst to him, he had reached a depth of about 5,000 feet at the bottom of the sea.

The water pressure here is so great that even the extraordinary creature Leviathan is not entirely comfortable with it.

Generally speaking, Leviathan prefers to stay at a depth of about a thousand feet. Although it can go deeper, it rarely does so.

In the deep sea, because no one is watching, all sorts of ugly, superhuman creatures swim past Leviathan.

Levi used his senses to explore his surroundings, but in such a deep, Sea of No Light, even Top-Tier Vision was practically useless.

After careful exploration, Levi discovered a row of giant underwater stones arranged in an eight-pointed star pattern on the seabed plain thousands of feet below.

"What's this?"

Levi dared not approach, sensing the situation from a distance.

He tried to walk down, but the hairs on his arms started to stand on end.

"No, it's dangerous down there, we can't go down."

Levi shook his head and decisively left the deep-sea area.

Once back on the surface of the sea and out into the light of day, that feeling of unease slowly disappeared.

It is obvious that the megalith could not have grown in such a regular pattern, displaying a complex eight-pointed star design.

This is how the giant rocks were forcibly arranged into some kind of magic array using immense force.

From Levi's perspective, which is now close to that of First Ring magic array wizard, this magic array seems to be some kind of sealing magic array.

"Forget it, I'm not curious anymore. This should be the Lost Pan God Grotto, but it's beyond my current level of cultivation."

Levi sighed and left the area without hesitation.

Not long after Levi left.

On the deep seabed plain, in the center of the eight-pointed star stone formation, a crack suddenly appeared.

A deep red light emanated from the crevice, revealing the blood-red flesh walls and the dense white bone spurs attached to them.

"Pan..."

A deep sound echoed in the deep sea.

The year 1037 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

Levi, aboard the Leviathan, arrived at an island at the border of the Ninth District and the Inner Ring Sea Area.

This is Bass Island, also known as "Sailing Island," which offers faster and safer transportation to the Inner Ring Sea Area.

The Inner Ring Sea Area is vast and boundless, fraught with danger. It would be very difficult for Levi, with his cultivation level, to cross it safely.

So he decided to spend some money to travel in official, high-class transportation.

Upon arrival, Levi saw a giant ship take off and quickly leave the island.

"I missed it, I'll have to wait for the next one."
