Homecoming!
In mid-air.
Levi unleashed his inner power recklessly until a cool liquid suddenly flowed through his blood, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
Levi's anger slowly dissipated. He gasped for breath, and the massive Giant Dragon Warrior and the true form of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable gradually faded away.
"Phew, the [Water of Tranquility] reserved in the blood sac worked. I'll try to use this special effect of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable sparingly in the future..."
To prevent himself from remaining in the state of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable for too long and becoming a complete madman.
Levi had previously refined a Third Ring potion called the Water of Tranquility, which was stored in his blood sac.
This potion is an essential item used by some wizards to prevent them from Cultivation Deviation, and it can also have a strong effect on calming the mind and spirit.
In retrospect, the results are excellent.
Once Levi's body reaches a certain critical point, the drug will be automatically released to suppress this madness and rage.
"Make more for future use."
He glanced at Old John's Storage Tool in his hand, and saw that there weren't many items.
"What a loss..." Levi was somewhat annoyed. He didn't want to reveal his strength, but in that situation before, if he didn't, he might have faced mortal danger.
When Levi had almost fully recovered.
distance.
The two Fourth Ring Wizard then came to Levi's side.
This also serves as a way of showing respect to Levi, letting Levi know that they have no ill intentions and will not take advantage of his vulnerability.
"Levi is truly a man of few words," Spiro said with a smile. "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Spiro, the captain of the enforcement team at the Black Pearl Wizard Market. This is Wa Li Er. If you frequently attend the Black Pearl Wizarding Market, you must already know him."
Wa Li Er nodded and said, "I have some potions here that help you recover your strength faster. Would you like some?"
Levi's strength had earned the respect of these two, so they did not treat Levi with the condescending attitude of Fourth Ring Wizard facing Third-Ring Wizard, but rather regarded Levi as an equal.
"No need, thank you for everything..."
"We understand. We are independent cultivators with no powerful backers in this world. Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know. We brothers naturally understand this," Spiro replied with a smile.
Levi looked grateful and said, "Thank you both very much. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have dared to fight against a level four demon. However, it seems that it wasn't a level four demon at all, but just an avatar..."
"Yes, even an avatar is so troublesome. This guy's true form must be Fifth Ring demon, or even a high-ranking demon comparable to Primal Soul Wizard. In the Abyss, this is an absolute powerhouse. Such a being has actually appeared in our Black Pearl Wizard Market. We must report this to Lord Garcia when he returns," Spiro said, his expression grave.
"However, if Levi doesn't like to be exposed, and you don't mind, Spiro and I will say that we killed him together. That would be taking credit for something, and we're afraid it would make you uncomfortable," Wa Li Er said.
"That would be even better. I just want to find a quiet place to cultivate, without causing trouble or having any malicious intent. I just don't want to be disturbed. I hope you two understand," Levi said with a smile.
"I understand, Lord Levi. May I ask if you are a member of the Dragonkin Hermit Order?" Spiro asked.
Levi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I am not, but perhaps I will be in the future. Right now, I am just Plane Registry Nameless Dragonkin Wizard."
He now realizes that he can create the persona of Dragonkin Wizard and Body Refinement Wizard in the future. The Knight's cultivation to this level is too shocking, and no one would believe it if he said it. There has never been a person like Levi in the previous history.
Moreover, having reached his current level and possessing five Dragonkind Breathing Technique, Levi is essentially no different from a dragon descendant, and calling him a dragon descendant is perfectly acceptable.
"Oh, I see. I know a senior member of the Dragonkin Hermit Order. If you wish to join the Dragonkin Hermit Order, I can recommend you to that senior," Spiro said.
Levi shook his head. "It's not necessary for now, Spiro for your kindness, Lord Sparrow. By the way, who is this senior? Would you mind telling me?"
"Blue Dragon Lady is currently the city lord of Torrent City. She is a high-ranking member of the Dragonkin Hermit Order and is destined to become Primal Soul Wizard in the future," Spiro said.
Levi thought to himself that it was a good thing he had refused. If he went to Torrent City now, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?
While Blue Dragon Lady may not be as evil as Solett, she is certainly no pushover either.
In Levi's view, if Ha Fuman really is dead, both the Blue Dragon Lady and Solett bear responsibility.
"Gentlemen, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. If you need Potion Making in the future, please feel free to come to me."
Having already revealed his strength to these two people, Levi had no choice. He couldn't very well kill them, and besides, he didn't have the power to kill them, nor could he force them to sign a confidentiality agreement.
I might as well go with the flow and take this opportunity to make some connections. This way, I can build a good relationship with the higher-ups at the Black Pearl Market, which will make things easier for me in the future.
"No problem, Lord Levi ... By the way, I'll have my men prepare a new Wizard Tower for you." Wa Li Er said, watching Levi walk away.
Thank you.
One month later.
Garcia rushed back from the Starry Sea Area and returned to the Wizarding Market, travel-worn.
Upon hearing about the demon's rampage in the market, he immediately convened a meeting of the Black Pearl Four Witches.
The five wizards sat together, discussing an important matter.
"That demon has been completely dealt with, right? That thing is the most troublesome, with unpredictable and varied abilities, making it impossible to defend against," Garcia asked.
"Sir, we saw the demon vanish into thin air with our own eyes, and we then conducted another inspection of the entire market. The demon should be completely dead," Spiro said.
"That's good. This demon's origins are strange and intriguing," Garcia mused.
"My lord, in my opinion, that demon is definitely connected to Solett. Without a doubt, the Thunder Dragon Family is determined to take over our market. Not only that, they want to undermine our foundation by poaching all our low-level wizards and Third-Ring Wizard!" Spiro said angrily.
"Spiro, there's no evidence yet, so don't make things up," Garcia said.
"My lord, what evidence is needed? Anyone with eyes can see it."
"In short, don't jump to conclusions without evidence. Otherwise, if someone finds fault with you and accuses you of slander and insult, you'll fall into their trap and give them an excuse to attack. It's not impossible for the guilty party to accuse you first... After all, colluding with demons and joining the Abyss is a grave crime of betraying the entire Wizard Civilization. If it's made public, even many Black Wizard will ridicule this person," Garcia said calmly.
"What you say makes sense, sir. I was too hasty. Sigh, I just can't swallow this anger." Spiro's anger burned as he thought of those who had been killed by demons.
He was a rogue cultivator who grew up in the Black Pearl Wizard Market, and he still had some affection for this place.
"If those people want to leave, there's nothing we can do. The market was originally a trading hub for independent cultivators, without so many constraints and rules. That was the original intention behind the establishment of our Black Pearl Wizard Market. If the Thunder Dragon Family insists on having this market, then so be it."
If the four of you want to follow the Thunder Dragon Family, I won't stop you. I, Garcia, have already exhausted all my efforts, luck, and potential to cultivate to the Fifth Ring Realm. As for achieving the Origin Soul, the hope is slim.
Perhaps for you, the Thunder Dragon Family is also a good destination. Solett is the most likely Thunder Dragon Family to break through to the Origin Soul realm in thousands of years. There is basically no problem for him to achieve the Origin Soul in the future. If you follow him, you may be able to go even further.
As for me, I intend to travel to the Starry Sea Area to establish a true wizarding organization and continue my legacy.
Garcia said.
"My lord, no matter how destitute I, Spiro, become in this life, even if I am so poor that I don't have a single Great Stone, I will never join any wizarding family!" Spiro said resolutely.
"We, the Black Pearl Four Witches, have always stood together through thick and thin. If you don't mind, sir, the four of us can join your wizarding organization," Wa Li Er said.
"The idea of establishing a wizarding organization is excellent. If we want to further enhance our strength, a loose wizarding market won't suffice. We definitely need to establish a wizarding organization so that more low-level wizards can gather resources, while we provide knowledge and protection, thus creating a virtuous cycle," Spiro said.
"That makes sense. I want to establish a real wizarding organization, similar to an academy, and recruit wizards from various schools of thought who excel in research, whether they are from popular or niche schools. As long as they have the ability, they can join and become teachers at the academy..."
Garcia explained his vision, which, in general, added some details and improvements to the traditional wizarding organization system to prevent the academy from becoming distorted and turning into something like a wizarding family in the later stages of its development.
Spiro and Wa Li Er nodded in agreement and began discussing their plan to leave the Fifth District and head to the Starry Sea Area.
One month later.
Wizard Tower, Levi looked at his new home and Heart Sense.
He originally intended to leave the Black Pearl Wizard Market, but after thinking about it, he realized that in the current situation, the situation would likely be the same anywhere else, and wouldn't be much better.
So he settled down in the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
As Wa Li Er said, Levi regained his own Wizard Tower and territory in another place halfway up the mountain.
This was given to Levi by Wa Li Er as a reward for Levi's secret killing of the demon.
"It's a pity that it won't be as convenient to visit Old Sha's house in the future."
After moving to his new home, Levi remembered Old Sha, who was still living there.
The new house is quite far from the old place, but at the speed of Third-Ring Wizard, it's only a few minutes' distance.
"After the battle with that level four demon, it's clear that in my current state as the Wrathful Dragon Venerable, relying on the accumulation of polygonal attributes, I now possess the strength to fight against a level Fourth Ring Wizard."
Of course, it was only the initial confrontation. That level four demon was merely an avatar, and its power was almost exhausted. If it hadn't dissipated on its own in the end, I might have gone mad and still wouldn't have been able to completely kill it.
After all, as things stand now, if I didn't have the polygon panel, my Blood Source Transformation level would only be comparable to a regular Third Ring wizard. To be comparable to a Fourth Ring Wizard, I would need Blood Source Three Transformations or higher.
Once my Five Dimensions Breathing Technique advances to the Blood Source Second Transformation realm, I should have the strength and confidence to contend with an ordinary Fourth Ring wizard in normal circumstances. With the addition of the Wrathful Dragon Venerable and the Giant Dragon Warrior, I should be able to kill an ordinary Fourth Ring wizard relatively easily in close combat.
Levi analyzed the course of the battle.
He used this level four demon to basically determine the limits of his current strength.
"But I still can't be arrogant, after all, I can't use the Wrathful Dragon Venerable's state too often," Levi warned himself.
As for Old John's Storage Bag, it didn't contain much; most of it consisted of relatively inexpensive potion materials.
Besides these, there were over 60,000 Great Stone, some potion recipes and magical knowledge, as well as an Old John's beloved magical artifact, Levi also planned to get rid of when he had the chance.
The next day.
Levi continued his research on Purification Potion at home. For materials like Saintess Fruit, which didn't exist in the Wizard World at all, Levi couldn't analyze their components and compare them with herbs from the Wizard World to find targeted solutions.
He could only rely on his own associations and guesses, combined with the effects of herbs already known in the Wizard World, to try them one by one.
This was undoubtedly a painstaking and laborious task, but Levi Weile enjoyed it.
Even if the research on the Purification Potion ultimately fails, he can still gain and accumulate a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in medicine.
These are all hidden assets.
At that very moment.
Old Sha's voice came from outside the door.
"Levi, are you home?"
With a thought from Levi, the door opened automatically, and the magic array also created a path for Old Sha.
Old Sha walked in, looking dejected. Aljeta silently poured Old Sha his favorite wine.
"Thank you, Aljeta." Old Sha picked up his drink and drank it in silence.
"Sigh, Old John is gone just like that. He was the first friend I made when I first came to this wizarding market. Back then, we were just Wizard Apprentice," Old Sha said with a sigh.
"Please accept my condolences, Old Sha." Levi also took a glass of wine and gulped it down.
"We're still not strong enough..." Old Sha was deeply affected by Old John's death.
The practice of a wizard is inherently solitary, and having a true old friend is not an easy thing.
"Levi, I heard that the Black Pearl Wizard Market is going to be acquired by the Thunder Dragon Family. It will become one of the Thunder Dragon Family's bases. Lord Garcia is leaving the Wizard Market, and in his place, a Fifth Ring wizard from the Thunder Dragon Family will be stationed here," Old Sha suddenly said.
"Is this news true?" Levi frowned slightly.
"This news is circulating everywhere, so it's probably true. Garcia and the Black Pearl Four Witches haven't come out to deny it. As far as I know, several Fourth Ring Wizard have already left the Black Pearl Wizard Market and gone to other places," Old Sha said.
"Well... I just got here, I haven't even had a chance to warm up yet," Levi said with a wry smile.
"There's no other way. In recent years, the Wizard World has become increasingly chaotic. Many wizarding families have taken advantage of the chaos to acquire and merge with smaller wizarding organizations or markets to strengthen their own family's power."
As you know, there has always been conflict between the traditional wizarding family system and the emerging wizarding organization system.
Some large wizarding families have long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Wizard Council, because many of the council's reforms and innovations have affected their interests.
It is said that those Legendary Wizard of the old guard are the heads of some of the top wizarding families in the Wizard World today, so you can understand why some people don't want the war to end.
Some powerful figures are profiting from the war; even Legendary Wizard are not immune. You can imagine what's going on.
This is actually normal. Everyone looks out for themselves, and this is especially true for wizards. At the beginning of the Council, many of the actions of the wizard ancestor Sauron won the favor of many lower-level wizards, but undoubtedly also touched the vested interests of a small group of upper-level wizards.
Before Sauron disappeared, his status Ancestor of Wizards was enough to deter other high-ranking wizards from acting recklessly.
But that's no longer the case. Sauron is an ancient being, and he has most likely perished in a foreign land. Even Legendary Wizard, unless they truly ascend to godhood, have a lifespan of only ten thousand years, and their influence has long since faded.
I have a feeling that we're just getting by, taking it one day at a time.
Old Sha sighed.
The wizards divided the history of Wizard Civilization into two phases, with the establishment of the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council as a turning point.
Before the establishment of the parliament was the ancient era; afterward was the recent and contemporary era ruled by the parliament.
Old Sha is quite knowledgeable in this area. He enjoys studying the history of wizarding civilization in his spare time and highly admires Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, and his ideas.
"So, what are your plans next?" Levi asked.
"I'm also leaving this Black Pearl Wizard Market. I'll most likely head to the Starry Sea Area to see if I can get an interview to join High-Rank Wizard organization." Old Sha was very uncertain. High-Rank Wizard organizations, especially those in the Starry Sea Area, have very high requirements. With his qualifications and age, his chances were slim.
"The Starry Sea Area?"
"Yes, initially, the Starry Sea Area was also known as the Sea of Six Towers. The six towers were the rulers of the Starry Sea Area. Later, in order to facilitate the management of the Endless Sea, under the leadership of the Wizard Council, the six towers jointly formed the Tower of Stars. However, the structure of the six towers has continued to this day, becoming the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Tower of Stars."
"That's good. There are even more opportunities in the Starry Sea Area," Levi said.
Levi had also heard of the six towers that make up the Tower of Stars, one of which was the famous Seven Waters Tower.
It is said that the Black Sun Tower was once one of the Six Towers, but Black Sun Adam led the Black Sun Tower in a rebellion a long time ago, and it was removed from the list of the Tower of Stars.
It is said that each of the Six Towers is guarded by an eighth-ring Primal Soul Wizard, and in history, even Ninth Ring Great Wizard has been born.
"Aren't you planning to go?" Old Sha asked.
"I'm not going for now." Levi shook his head; he wasn't ready to head to the Starry Sea Area yet.
If he can't stay here any longer, then he'll go to the Hundred Eye Demon Domain and see if he can return to the Mortal World through a spatial node.
If possible, it would be better to go and hide in the human Mortal World for a while. Moving back and forth between the Wizard World is not a solution.
If we can't go to the Mortal World, we'll make other plans.
"Alright, then if you ever go to the Starry Sea Area, we'll find a way to get in touch, Levi, my friend."
Old Sha hugged Levi Wei, Levi patted Old Sha on the shoulder with a strange expression.
Levi hadn't encountered this way of expressing emotions in a long time.
Wizards are always wary of each other, and even when they are friends, their friendship is reserved.
"Goodbye, Old Sha, have a safe journey and may your future be bright in the Starry Sea Area." Levi sincerely offered his blessings.
Old Sha nodded and left.
The next day, after packing his belongings, Old Sha left the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
Levi's only friend here, with whom he could truly connect, has also left.
As they parted, Levi watched Old Sha's departing figure and felt a pang of emotion.
"This is the norm in life."
After seeing Old Sha off, Levi returned home.
On the path in front of the Wizard Tower, where wildflowers bloom, stood a wizard in a blue robe—it was none other than Spiro the Wizard.
"Lord Levi, you're finally back," Spiro said.
"Spiro, is there anything I can do for you? Please come in and have a seat," Levi said.
The White Wolf maid brewed the medicinal tea that Levi had grown himself.
"Lord Spiro, please try this tea. Although it is bitter, it is quite good for cultivation," Levi said with a smile.
Spiro nodded, took a small sip, but clearly didn't drink it.
"Excellent tea," he exclaimed sincerely.
"Speak, Your Excellency Spiro," Levi, looking at Spiro.
"It is so, Your Excellency Levi must have heard that the Thunder Dragon Family plans to acquire the Black Pearl Wizard Market."
"Yes."
"Then I'll get straight to the point. On behalf of Wizard Garcia, I invite you to join the Starfire Wizard Academy as the Dean of the Potion Academy. As Dean, you will receive a reward of 10,000 Great Stone every ten years," Spiro said.
"Starfire Wizard Academy?"
"That's right. Lord Garcia wants to establish an academy-type wizarding organization, and we, the Black Pearl Four Witches, have already joined. However, we are currently short-handed, so we are recruiting talent at this stage," Spiro said.
After a moment of contemplation, Levi asked, "Where is the Wizarding Academy located?"
"The Starry Sea Area is the most prosperous place in our Endless Sea Wizard Civilization. There are currently more than sixty High-Rank Wizard organizations in the Endless Sea, and nearly half of them are concentrated in the Starry Sea Area. That is the stage for mid-to -High-Rank Wizard to display their talents," Spiro said.
"Lord Spiro, I have some matters to attend to and cannot travel to the Starry Sea Area for the time being. I will come to the Starry Sea Area to find you after I am done. If there are any vacancies in your academy at that time, please arrange a teaching position in pharmacy for me. With my abilities, I am afraid I am not qualified to serve as the dean," Levi said with a smile.
Spiro thought about it, and Levi's answer was within his expectations. After all, he could tell that Levi's personality didn't really like joining a wizarding organization.
He was already very satisfied with the promise he received from Levi regarding the future.
"However, I have a friend named Sha Wei Er who has already gone to the Starry Sea Area. When the time comes, Lord Spiro can look for him in the Starry Sea Area. With his knowledge of Artifact Forging, he should be qualified to serve as a Artifact Forging teacher at the Wizarding Academy."
"I know Sha Wei Er. I was going to ask him about it, but I didn't expect he'd already left," Spiro said with a hint of helplessness.
"Then I won't bother you any longer. Hope we meet again in the Starry Sea Area if fate allows." Spiro left satisfied.
The doors of the Wizard Tower slowly closed, and Levi drank tea alone.
"They've all gone to the Starry Sea Area. No wonder everyone says the Starry Sea Area is a place to pursue dreams. Speaking of which, Salman, the founder of the Gray-White Tower, the Hundred Flower Knight, the Rose Witch, and Wizard Newt are all in the Starry Sea Area."
"But now the war is raging across the Endless Sea, and even if I go to the Starry Sea Area, I might still be struck by a disaster. I'd better not go and join the fun for now."
The year 1081 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.
The Thunder Dragon Family has officially announced the acquisition of the Black Pearl Wizard Market and will take over the area within a month.
Upon hearing this news, some were happy while others were sad.
Most of the mid-level wizards have left; those who can cultivate to this level generally do not like to be bound by wizard families.
As for low-level wizards and Wizard Apprentice, they had nowhere else to go and could only continue to stay here.
For them, it didn't matter where they went in this Inner Ring Sea Area; they were all low-level wizards, being ordered around by others.
However, if they were asked to go to the Outer Ring Sea Area elemental power is scarce, they would be reluctant to give up the excellent cultivation environment here.
Unlike people like Levi who have Proficiency Panel, these low-level wizards with average talent and no resources or background must try their best to increase their cultivation speed in order to break through to a higher realm in their lifetime.
Levi's Wizard Tower is now completely empty.
The Fur Race had packed everything up and stored it in Alice's Ring.
"They're gone."
Levi threw out the Flying Shark.
Ke Lun piloted the airship and quickly left Black Pearl Island, heading towards the Sixth District of the Inner Ring Sea Area.
Just in time.
A giant magical airship, about a kilometer long, pierced through the clouds high in the sky, casting a huge shadow over the sea, creating an oppressive atmosphere!
This is the top-of-the-line civilian magic airship developed by the Seven Waters Tower Cloud Whale 380 ".
Compared to this, Levi's magical airship is like a firefly compared to the Bright Moon.
On the side of the Cloud Whale, there is a ferocious, roaring purple Thunder Dragon with wings that blot out the sky, with endless lightning falling from the sky and destroying the world.
This is the emblem of the Thunder Dragon Family, revealing their arrogant and powerful family style.
Levi withdrew his gaze, Flying Shark quickly left the horizon, turning into a glimmer of light.
On the massive Cloud Whale, a Fifth Ring wizard gazed indifferently at the departing magic airship.
He is Rex's father, the oldest member of the Thunder Family, Blade of Thunderous Destruction · Terell.
"In a turbulent era, ants are exhausted and at a loss, while only the strong can do as they please."
Terrell sighed, completely unaware that the ant who had just fled for his life was the murderer who killed his good son Rex.
The Cloud Whale slowly descended above the city's protective array.
The grand formation slowly opened, allowing the Cloud Whale to enter.
Terrell strode in, surrounded by a squad of mid-level wizards.
Opposite him stood a White-Robed Wizard with an aged yet kind face, Garcia.
Behind Garcia, four Fourth Order wizards stood expressionless, while Spiro clenched his fists and remained silent with his head bowed.
"Lord Terrell, I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry to hand over the work," Garcia said with a smile.
"Black Pearl Kid, you made a wise choice. The Black Pearl Wizard Market has a history of thousands of years. At its peak, a Sixth Ring Primal Soul Wizard even appeared here. But now, it has declined and is no longer as prosperous as it once was."
"Our Thunder Dragon Family is here to change this situation. I believe that under the leadership of the Thunder Dragon Family, the future of the Black Pearl Wizard Market will definitely be better than it is now," Terrell said loudly, and the wizards of the Thunder Dragon Family behind him applauded.
Among the crowd in the city, some people began to applaud, cheer, and jump for joy.
"The Thunder Dragon Family!"
"The Thunder Dragon Family!"
Spiro watched all this with a chill in his heart, while Wa Li Er whispered in his ear.
"Spiro, don't forget, nothing is more important than living."
"I'm fine, Wa Li Er."
Garcia's aged voice rang out. "From this day forward, the Black Pearl Wizard Market will be managed by the Thunder Dragon Family."
He didn't say much. He started his business from here and became the Black Pearl Kid who made a comeback in the Legendary Realm story.
But now, he's leaving.
"Let's go."
"Garcia said, and then flew off without looking back," he said.
Spiro glanced at Terrell, and then, urged by Wa Li Er, quickly left.
The remaining two of the Black Pearl Four Witches remained rooted to the spot, motionless.
Spiro and Wa Li Er's expressions changed, and they asked, "Ke Luo, Mo Nai, what do you two mean by this?"
"I'm sorry, Spiro, we've thought about it and decided not to leave. We can't bear to leave here." Ke Luo's smile was bitter, clearly indicating that he had something difficult to say.
"I hope that you two, together with Lord Garcia, will go further and further on the path of pursuing truth. I think the future vision of a Wizard Civilization like Gensokyo that Lord Garcia depicted is really good, and I look forward to seeing that day," Mo Nai said.
"You..." Spiro looked at Terrell, the old man's face was half-smiled, clearly extremely smug.
"Let's go. Everyone has their own ambitions. Don't force things," Garcia's calm voice came from ahead.
Spiro and Wa Li Er quickly followed and disappeared into the horizon.
"Ke Luo, Mo Nai, you won't regret following our Thunder Dragon Family," Terrell said.
"Thank you for taking me in, sir."
One month later.
The Thunder Dragon Family completely took over the Black Pearl Wizard Gathering, named it "Pearl Island," built the Thunder Dragon Family's Wizard Tower on it, and stationed their wizard team there.
Having left the Black Pearl Market and acquired the Flying Shark, Levi arrived at the familiar Sixth District in just half a month.
He didn't go to Torrent City, but went directly to the Hundred Eye Demon Domain.
The once-thriving Hundred Eye Demon Domain was transformed Mortal World a forbidden land by the demonic energy of the Lord of Thousand Eyes, where Magic Creature roamed freely.
However, as time passed, and with the efforts of the demon hunters of Torrent City, Levi has not seen a single Magic Creature in the Hundred Eye Demon Domain.
A beautiful witch sat in a magical airship, leading the way for Levi.
"Senior, that subspace node is quite close to the center of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain, so there might be some powerful Magic Creature left behind. You must be careful," said the messenger, Eve.
Eve now holds Levi in even greater respect and admiration than before.
Some time ago, while conducting research experiments on Purification Potion, Levi inadvertently discovered a special agent formula.
While this potion formula cannot achieve the purification effect that Levi needs, it can barely remove some of the aftereffects of spellcasting.
After Levi's experiment, the potion proved to be very effective. Then, after he gave the potion to the owl, Miss Eve miraculously turned back to normal.
Levi called this potion "Eve's Water".
The invention of Eve's Water excited Levi for quite some time.
Even more excited than Levi Eve, who could finally start a new life.
After all, in her owl form, she could only perform simple spells and couldn't meditate, so her cultivation stagnated.
Not long after, Levi, led by Eve, arrived at the coordinates of the Naya space node.
This subspace node is located in a group of underwater volcanoes.
Countless magma erupted, solidified on the seabed, billowing white smoke filled the air, and the air reeked of sulfur.
"Such a large-scale fiery land is quite suitable for practicing Combustion Faction magic," Eve said.
"The fire elemental power here has been mixed with demonic energy from the Demon Lord. If one were to cultivate here, one would inevitably Cultivation Deviation," Levi said, shaking his head.
"I see... Senior, the subspace node is on the seabed plain ahead," Eve reminded her.
She had been passing by when she sent a message and sensed the strong fire elemental power in this sea area. Remembering that she was still missing a Crimson Fire Grass, she came down to look for it. Little did she expect that she would encounter a wild subspace node.
Levi arrived at the plain Eve had described, and then his expression faltered slightly.
There was no plain in sight, only a huge pit, probably nearly a thousand miles in diameter, filled with extremely hot magma.
Although it's also subterranean fire, its temperature is several times higher than that of the subterranean fire on Black Fire Island.
"Huh, where did that huge plain go... What's with this huge pit? Senior, I'm not lying to you, this is the subspace node!" Eve's expression changed, clearly very anxious, worried that Levi would take his anger out on her.
"Don't panic, this should be the right place." Levi pondered for a moment, then called Qiao An out of the Alice's Ring.
"Senior... Ouch, it's so hot!" Qiao An could even flatter Levi, she discovered the boundless ocean of lava in the deep pit ahead. In this Wu Yin seabed, there actually existed such a magical place.
"Qiao An, use your knowledge of ruins hunters to determine if this deep pit was once the site of an ancient ruin."
"Okay, senior, let me take a look." A glint of light flickered in Qiao An's eyes. In his world, the omnipresent Magneto Force operated in a regular manner, while in the deep pit, the Magneto Force was chaotic and disordered.
After a long silence, Qiao An said with a solemn expression, "Senior, there seem to be traces of ancient wizarding ruins here. Judging from the magnetic field, space here seems to be distorted somewhere. Moreover, I sensed strong magical fluctuations in this sea of magma... This is not naturally formed; it is man-made."
Levi nodded and said, "It seems that this is the ancient wizarding site where the Hundred Eye Demon Lord was once sealed."
"What? Isn't this place very dangerous? Senior, let's leave quickly," Eve said.
"It's alright. From my perception, there are no demons left in this Hundred Eye Demon Domain. The demons have either been killed or have already infiltrated the wizards' settlements. They won't stay here obediently."
This deep pit was likely formed after the Legendary Realm forbidden technique struck the Abyssal Well. The Legendary Realm forbidden technique altered the landscape here, turning the plain into a deep pit, and the lava also gushed out, submerging this place.
"You two enter the ring. I'm going into the ocean of lava. With your cultivation levels, you won't last a minute before you're burned to ashes," Levi said.
"Okay, be careful, senior."
On the edge of a vast ocean of magma, Levi was as small as an ant.
"Is this the power of Legendary Wizard? Truly earth-shattering, unfathomable power!"
Levi murmured to himself, sensing a magical radiating power emanating from the magma.
These radiations were actually trying to invade and change Levi's body, but unfortunately, Levi's body was too strong, and these radiations couldn't do anything to him.
"Even the residual radiation is so powerful."
Levi's Protective Force Field lit up; he had to go down and check if the subspace node was still there.
With the power of the Legendary Realm magic, it was very likely to be destroyed.
Upon entering the magma, the terrifyingly high temperature scorched Levi's Protective Force Field. With his Second Ring Protective Force Field, it couldn't withstand it for long before it was melted.
He simply stopped wasting his Art Power, his body was Golden Scales Possession, and his Fire Dragon True Body appeared, directly using his physical body to withstand the power of the magma.
He released Ace from the Alice's Ring, Ace into the ocean of lava, feeling as comfortable and exhilarated as a fish in water.
"Ace, you're in charge of keeping me alert. My senses are being affected here," Levi said.
Perhaps due to the obstruction of the terrifyingly hot magma, coupled with the fluctuations of the Legendary Realm spell, both the wizard's mental perception and Levi's Synesthesia were affected to varying degrees.
Although it is generally unlikely that there are living creatures in this Sea of Magma, Levi cannot let his guard down.
Ace nodded and immediately began patrolling around Levi. Ace's body transformed into countless spiritual fire element particles, merging into the magma to expand his detection range.
After revealing his Fire Dragon True Body, Levi's resistance, comparable to that of a fire giant, meant that the magma wasn't so hot for him.
Levi cautiously wandered and explored the bottom of the lava. When he could no longer keep up, he climbed out of the lava ocean and marked the places he had patrolled.
This cycle repeated itself for three days.
Finally, in the northeastern corner of the magma ocean, Levi discovered a swirling magma vortex.
"This should be it. This vortex was probably caused by the distorted spatial power." Levi casually took out an Alchemy creature he had made and sent it into the vortex before it was melted by the Alchemy.
In an instant, Levi saw the Alchemy creature begin to disintegrate and disintegrate into nothingness.
"First Ring Alchemy creature made of Mithril was instantly decomposed. This is the power of spatial distortion. No wonder a portal is needed. Otherwise, even a low-level wizard's Protective Force Field wouldn't be much better. I just don't know if my physical body can withstand this power of spatial distortion."
Levi took a step forward. His Spider Sense only detected a faint sense of danger, which indicated that the spatial distortion force was dangerous, but not very dangerous.
He pondered for a moment, and his right arm suddenly turned into a blood mist, which then continued to extend until it finally stopped before the vortex.
At the end of the blood mist, flesh and blood coalesced, and dark Golden Scales covered the palm.
Levi plunged his arm into the whirlpool, prepared to lose it at any moment.
Then a screeching sound of friction came from the vortex.
The friction of spatial forces caused sparks to fly from Levi's golden scales. After about a minute, all of Levi's scales shattered. Before Levi could even reach back his hand, that section of his hand quickly disintegrated, leaving a bloody mess.
Levi stretched out his arm, calmly watching the power of Death Ash repair his arm.
"It's not as terrifying as I imagined. If I resist with all my might, plus those magical Protective Force Field and the Mahakala's Curtain, I should be able to hold out for a while."
Compared to the spatial distortion force between different planes, the distortion force between different subspaces within the same plane is not particularly exaggerated.
As far as Levi knew, the reason why only High-Rank Wizard could begin dimensional travel was because only the Protective Force Field of High-Rank Wizard could pass through the spatial gates formed by dimensional magic.
"Now that I've made all the necessary preparations, I can enter the subspace node," Levi thought to himself, in high spirits.
"Damn the Thunder Dragon Family, damn the Black Wizard, they've turned the Wizard World into chaos. Rather than being disturbed here every day, I'd rather go back to the human Mortal World and live a quiet life. The only thing I need to worry about is that Saint Estella, but it's still much better than the Wizard World."
As for the problem of the elemental power being too thin, there is a small elemental conversion array in the Book of Cypher that can convert the elemental power of the Great Stone for my cultivation. Although this is somewhat wasteful of Great Stone, it is a last resort.
Moreover, with the resurgence of the Demon Tide, the elemental power in the Mortal World is also constantly increasing, so even with limited cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem.
Levi had a premonition.
When the heavens converge, the Demon Tide revives, and major events such as the Great Expedition and the Black-White War the Wizard World all happen at the same time.
The old order and structure that were once established will be broken.
The Mortal World is the Origin Land of wizards, and it is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface.
The pact between the wizards and the Seven Gods to not interfere with each other may be broken because of this incident, and then Mortal World will get interesting on earth.
"No matter what, if you're in a dilemma, you can always retreat to the Mortal World. At least the saints in the Mortal World are stronger than me, but only by a limited margin. The gods can't directly reach into the Mortal World to attack me... And those big shots in the Wizard World are damn much stronger than me."
Thinking of the Thunder Dragon Family, who had repeatedly disrupted his peaceful life, Levi felt a wave of despair.
The Thunder Dragon Family was nothing more than a dog kept by the truly powerful figures in the Wizard World.
"The water is too deep."
The next day.
Having made all the necessary preparations, Levi returned to the spatial vortex.
But as he prepared to step into the spatial vortex, his Spider Sense detected a strong sense of danger.
Levi took a few steps back without making a sound.
"How about I learn a Third Ring defensive spell temporarily? That would be safer."
Adhering to the principle of "better to have none than something bad, "Levi has not yet practiced the Third Ring defensive spell. But now, he has no choice but to begin practicing it ahead of schedule.
He left the vortex and found a place to stay nearby. He muttered to himself, "Actually, I don't need to be in such a hurry to go back. This place is not bad. No one will bother me. I might as well cultivate here for a while, organize my spell library, and fuse an original spell of my own."
Therefore, in order to ensure a foolproof passage through the subspace node, Levi began researching his original Third Ring defensive spell.
Currently, Levi's spellbook contains 536 different spell models, including 124 First-Circle Spell models, 35 Second Ring spell models, and only 8 Third Ring models.
"My current spell library is mostly composed of Ocean Faction spells, so I'll fuse a Third Ring Ocean Faction defensive spell into it."
Levi carved out a Cave Residence at the bottom of the sea, set up various magic arrays, and had the Mountain Giant protect him.
He then embarked on a long journey of studying magic.
To synthesize a Third Ring spell, Levi needs to master at least a dozen similar tricks and First-Circle Spell, all of which require a significant amount of time.
Spiritual practice knows no time.
The year 1085 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.
The 53rd year of the Great Expedition.
The Wizard World is constantly engulfed in war.
The conflict Black-White factions has reached a fever pitch.
Of the more than 240 districts in the Outer Ring Sea Area, nearly 100 have already been taken over by the Black Wizard, because the Tower of Stars has abandoned the Outer Ring Sea Area and is focusing all its efforts on attacking the Black Wizard forces in the Inner Ring Sea Area.
Both sides were attacking with a strategy of inflicting heavy losses on both sides.
War, like a meat grinder, caused devastating losses to the Wizard Civilization.
In comparison, the situation on the front lines of the Five Realms Great Expedition is much better.
Under the leadership of five Legendary Wizard, the expeditionary force achieved victory after victory, and the Four Chaos Gods were repeatedly at a disadvantage in their battles against the Legendary Wizard.
However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
For the Wizard Council, the most pressing issue is no longer the Five Realms Great Expedition. Losing five planes would certainly be a heavy loss, but losing this civil war would be the real end.
In the Starry Sea Area, amidst the flames of war, a Fifth Ring wizard organization called the Starfire Wizard Academy quietly rose to prominence.
Starfire Wizard Academy does not set a threshold for wizarding talent. Anyone with wizarding talent, even Child of Chaos, can enter and enjoy wizarding education after paying a relatively low tuition fee.
This led to a large number of Wizard Apprentice and wizards gathering at the Starfire Wizard Academy in a short period of time, most of whom were independent practitioners.
The teachers and students of the Starfire Wizard Academy also actively participated in the war against the Black Wizard, receiving strong support from the Tower of Stars.
Of course, the rise of the Starfire Wizard Academy has also encountered many obstacles. It is said that its principal Garcia, has even survived several assassination attempts.
As for the mastermind behind the assassination, whether it was Black Wizard or some white wizard faction, that remains unknown.
In Seventh District, the Thunder Dragon Family annexed other forces in various ways, eventually forming the sizable Thunder Dragon Warband. After its establishment, the Thunder Dragon Warband also strongly supported the Tower of Stars' cause to fight against the Black Wizard.
This boosted the reputation of Thunder Spear Solete in Seventh District, while the other two Fifth Ring Wizard families that passively resisted the Black Wizard were strongly condemned by outside voices.
The outside world is in turmoil, quite a lively scene.
In the heart of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain Realm, on the shore of the vast Sea of Magma.
Before Levi knew it, four years had passed.
In his mind, next to the gaseous mental energy ring, Spell Model revolved around it. Among them were magic tricks, First Ring and Second-Ring Spell, and only three Third Ring spells.
Sun Flare Burst, Extreme Ice Sword Finger, and a brand new Spell Model.
Levi opened his eyes, and Divine Light light shone forth. As he chanted his spell, thick, ink-like black water gathered from all directions around him, forming a writhing ball of ink.
Even a single drop of this black liquid falling onto the ground is enough to create a deep crater, demonstrating its immense mass and high density.
"Bo Gang, attack me fiercely!"
Upon receiving the command, the Mountain Giant launched a fierce attack from outside the ink sphere. The ink sphere trembled continuously, but it steadily withstood Bo Gang's Third Ring spell attack and brute force attack until it shattered a minute later.
"My self-created Third Ring spell, Heavy Water Barrier, is finally complete. Its defensive power is really good."
The Heavy Water Barrier, with its defensive strength within the Third Ring, should be classified as A-level, which is already among the top-tier Third Ring defensive spells. With the added enhancement of the Aether Dominator effect, its actual defensive strength is no different from S-level.
After all, S-rank spells are extremely rare, one in ten thousand, and not so easy to create; otherwise, they wouldn't be called "top-tier spells."
The Heavy Water Barrier is fully qualified as Levi's Third Ring Protective Force Field.
"Reaching S-rank would qualify it as my first talent spell. With the Aether Dominator effect, I would essentially have mastered Fourth Ring talent spell ahead of time. It's a pity... but there will be opportunities to improve its quality later, so there's no rush."
In addition, regarding the Way of the Knight, the proficiency progress of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique has reached four-fifths of the thirteenth level, bringing him closer to the Blood Source Second Transformation realm.
After reaching the thirteenth level, the speed of his cultivation of the Knight's Breathing Technique slowed down considerably. A major reason for this was that the quality of Levi's Secret Medicine could no longer keep up with his advancement in cultivation level.
The extraordinary biological resources of the Wizard World have become increasingly scarce over the long years.
The few remaining ones are all hidden away in the resource secrets of the major organizations, and are not available to independent cultivators like Levi.
This is an almost unsolvable problem unless Levi can find a new dimension.
Levi left the Cave Residence and took Bo Gang and the others away.
Before he knew it, he had been cultivating in this place for four years. Apart from loneliness and boredom, there was no other danger.
His mental strength has now reached 115 points. His Extreme Ice Sword Finger has reached the Eighth Rank limit. This is a spell he created when he advanced to the third Third Ring. It is relatively ordinary, and now it is somewhat lagging behind his strength progress.
The Sun Flare Burst continued to build steadily, its power gradually increasing, making up for Levi's lack of magical attacks.
Now that everything is ready, he feels he can go back to that subspace node for another look.
Before long, Levi arrived at the spatial vortex with practiced ease.
"It's still there."
His body was surrounded by layers of magical protection, covered by Heavy Water Barrier, and his Golden Scales were closed, which could be described as the ultimate in armor.
He resorted to his old trick again, sacrificing his arm to test it out.
This time, thanks to his improved mastery of the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique, Levi was able to maintain the technique for an even longer period.
"With the protective barrier, there shouldn't be any problems." Levi arrived at a point less than a meter away from the vortex.
His Spider Sense only detected a faint sense of danger.
After a moment's hesitation, Levi's expression hardened, and he stepped inside.
Without the obstruction and protection of the space gate, Levi was able to see everything outside the Subspace Channel.
Darkness, deathly silence, brokenness, and nothingness are the main themes.
The spatial forces within the passage tore apart Levi's defensive force field.
The Heavy Water Barrier shattered after holding for a while, and the magical defensive field below also disintegrated layer by layer.
The moment the spatial distortion force touched Levi's Golden Serpent Scales, he vanished from the passage.
But in the Mortal World.
On the vast, boundless sea.
An active volcanic island shrouded in black smoke.
A group of Lizardmen covered in fine scales and wielding spears are currently holding a ritual at the foot of a volcano.
The sacrificial offerings were, in fact, a group of bound sailors, among whom there appeared to be a young Knight.
A Lizardmen chieftain, enormous in size, standing two zhang tall, wielding a staff and clad in bone armor, clasped his hands together, flicked his tongue, and chanted incantations.
"A circle surrounding the mortal world."
"The primate of all scaled insects."
"The Holy Spirit who controls reincarnation."
"The Great Supreme Sacred Serpent."
"Ye Gu!"
"Your devout servant begs for your grace."
The chief had barely finished speaking.
With a deafening roar, a terrifying explosion echoed from the crater.
The chieftain and the Lizardmen stared solemnly at the place shrouded in black smoke.
A raging column of fire rose from the sky, reaching the heavens and the earth; the active volcano had erupted.
