Gagamel! The Fourth Talent!

Ancient Saint Plane.

Emperor Palace.

The Lovers Rune, logically speaking, should have a fairly powerful effect.

After all, this rune involves the legendary attribute of luck.

Luck may seem simple, but it can actually involve some very high-level rules.

As far as Levi knows, spells that enhance luck also exist in the Wizard World.

However, they mostly involve astrology, prophecy, and other wizarding fields that few people delve into.

Even most Primal Soul Wizard probably cannot reach this level.

However, thanks to this Rune Words, Levi was able to learn it at the Fourth Ring stage.

Of course, the specific effects are unknown.

Unlike tangible attributes like strength and speed, luck is difficult to measure and change.

It's like some games from my past life. Even though I maxed out my character's luck when I initially allocated points, when I actually used it, I found that... nothing seemed to change.

This is why Levi isn't particularly fond of the Lovers Rune.

However, now that his mental strength is sufficient, and considering that he may encounter and compete with a group of Fifth Ring or even Origin Soul powerhouses in the Dark Ancient Tower in the future.

Levi felt that instead of learning some conventional Rune Words, he might as well take a different approach and try his luck.

This thing is fine if it's useless, but if it really is useful, then it's extremely useful.

After more than half a year of dormancy, he has already inscribed the [Lovers Rune] into the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Lovers Rune: First Order (1/1000), Special Effect: Aries Constellation Power (Level 1)...

[Aries Constellation Power (Level 1): Rune Words connects you to the Aries Constellation, Star Power your luck with a current 10% increase. In addition, your personal charm and fertility are also enhanced.]

"It increased my luck by 10%... The problem is that I don't even know my initial luck value. If I'm already unlucky, then this increase is better than nothing."

Levi felt helpless.

What left him speechless was the inclusion of the attributes of "personal charm" and "fertility".

Personal charisma is one thing; at least if it's useful, you can use it to manage your team, enhance the cohesion of the Knight, and make them even more infatuated with their leader.

However, Levi Wei believed that his fertility was already beyond improvement; he simply lacked a suitable candidate to demonstrate it.

"Let's do a simple test to see if luck really works..."

To test this, Levi then created a series of cards similar to the gacha games of his previous life.

A fixed card pool and a certain number of rare cards were set up.

Furthermore, the card issuance rate is set at around 10%.

If luck really works, as long as Levi draws enough cards.

From a data perspective, his card issuance rate should be consistently higher than 10%.

And so.

He actually started using this clumsy method to test his luck.

This pumping lasted for three days and three nights.

He constantly recorded gacha data and worked himself to the bone to draw cards.

Finally, the card output rate was calculated.

"Eleven percent... The change is too small to tell whether it's due to the Rune Words's bonus or random deviation. Oh well, I'll just assume it's the Rune Words's blessing and give myself some peace of mind."

With only a 10% increase from the level 1 Lovers Rune, Levi was determined to keep grinding.

If the amplification pattern is consistent with that of the Chariot Rune and the Strength Rune.

In theory, a Seventh Rank Lovers Rune should provide a 60% increase in luck, and the effect should be more noticeable at that point.

In the following period, Levi even suspended his other cultivation practices for a while.

I spent half a year grinding away at the Lovers Rune, eventually getting it to level three.

Then, the luck boost reached 20%.

Levi then conducted a three-day, three-night card-drawing test.

Ultimately, based on the data, my success rate was calculated to be 12%.

"It's still not obvious... I haven't drawn enough cards, and the sample data isn't large enough, but I can feel that... this luck attribute is still somewhat useful."

Furthermore, the cultivation speed of the Lovers Rune is much slower than the previous three types. You'll have to grind for it slowly later; this should be a rune for the very late game.

Levi also stopped wasting time on the Lovers Rune.

He placed his hand on the surface of the Klein Crystal.

[Mental Strength: 215]

[Art Power: 10750]

"In two years, I have condensed 5 drops of spiritual energy dew. This speed is not bad... but there is still something lacking. At the current cultivation speed, it will take about 120 years to reach the perfection of 510 points. Including the time for advancement, it may take 130 years to reach the Fifth Ring... However, I have not taken any Meditation Aid Potion during these two years of cultivation, so my cultivation speed can be improved quite a bit."

According to Levi's plan, he wanted to advance to the Fifth Ring within a hundred years, and then enter the Origin Soul realm before he turned four hundred.

This speed of cultivation actually far surpasses that of over 90% of the Child of Element.

After all, he only spent a third of his time each day practicing the wizarding path, while the other two-thirds were filled with various miscellaneous things such as the way of Knight and the three wizarding arts.

For him, this speed was actually just right.

The speed of one's spiritual advancement is perfectly matched with one's state of mind and other aspects. It is not the kind of cultivation that is greedy for quick results and leaves many hidden dangers.

"I prepared the formula for the Fourth Ring Meditation Aid Potion before my breakthrough. Over the years, I have also collected a lot of materials in the Ancient Saint Plane. Celia also helped me collect the remaining materials... I just need to pick them up when the time comes and then I can start refining it."

I am already Fourth Ring Wizard, but of my three wizarding arts, spell arrays and weapon crafting are only at the Third Ring... This Crypt Wizard invasion has also proven the powerful role of spell arrays. The way of spell arrays is a magic weapon for overcoming the strong with the weak and defeating the enemy, and it must be taken seriously.

Before entering the Dark Ancient Tower, I need to grind the magic circle to the Fourth Ring environmental level.

In this way, the protective arrays of the Ancient Saint Plane and the Twilight Temple can be upgraded to the Fourth Ring level, greatly improving security. With the power of the large array, it would not be easy for Fifth Ring wizard to break the Fourth Ring array.

If it is Fourth Ring- ringed array like the "Glory of the Four Kings," its power is even more astonishing. If Fifth Ring wizard is caught in it and does not pay attention, he may also perish.

Moreover, within the Dark Ancient Tower, crafting a portable Fourth Ring magic array can serve as my trump card.

The same principle applies to weapon crafting. Before entering the Ancient Tower, becoming Fourth Ring Artifact Forging allows you to create a level four Alchemy creature called the "Skywalker," providing another powerful ally within the Ancient Tower.

Levi has finished outlining the direction and plans for the future.

Over the years, he also acquired some magic circle blueprints from the magic mirror and other wizards' spoils.

Next, we need to collect materials and begin working on the magic array.

As for crafting blueprints, there's the book "The Lemei's Alchemy Workshop," so there's no shortage of them.

With over three million in Great Stone, Levi wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time.

In the blink of an eye.

Three months have passed.

Mortal World.

Twilight Island.

Inside the Blood God Hall.

The Blood Knight, clad in bronze armor, suddenly opened his eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura was considerably stronger than before.

He stretched out his palm, and a surge of turbulent blue blood energy emerged.

"Is this the Blood Source Realm? It feels so powerful!"

He stepped out of the main hall, his blood-red aura transforming into azure wings, Ascending Whirlwind into the heavens! He gripped a rusty, blood-red greatsword! Boom! He unleashed the Golden Cross Slash, which he had cultivated to perfection! The Rotation Power the Cross Slash pierced through the air, shattering the white clouds before returning them to calm.

"So strong! No wonder the gap between the captain and us is so huge. After the bloodline, the transformation and strengthening of Knight begins. They constantly trace back to the ancestral source of the bloodline power within their bodies. With each transformation, they get closer to the Primal Ancestor... I've only undergone my first transformation, and I've already changed so much. The captain has undergone countless transformations. The difference between them is like an insurmountable chasm!"

The Blood Knight Heart Sense.

"Although a Knight should always maintain a humble attitude, I have to admire myself... I have a really good eye for people!"

Back when Levi didn't yet have Legendary Knight.

Blood Knight knew that this young Knight had the potential to become Legendary Realm! What happened next was pretty much what he had imagined, but he still underestimated the captain's potential and talent.

Legendary Realm is the end for other Knight, but it's only the Qidian for the captain!

In other words, the Blood Knight is humble and mild-mannered. If it were any other Secondary Blood Clan, they would probably have started fighting with Levi on their very first meeting.

That would mean missing the opportunity to befriend Levi and break free from the shackles of the Legendary Realm.

The Blood Knight's Secondary Blood Clan bloodline no longer provides much of an increase in his strength.

Only the Blood Clan's abnormal self-healing ability is somewhat useful.

If he hadn't broken through to the Blood Source Realm, relying solely on the lifespan of the Secondary Blood Clan, the Blood Knight wouldn't actually have many years left.

"The Blood Source Transformation is just the beginning. At this stage, my realm can barely rival that of an ordinary Third Ring wizard, but my actual strength is inferior. Once Bloodline Divine Weapon is born, my strength can advance further, narrowing the gap between me and a wizard."

According to the leader, after the Blood Source Three Transformations, a high-end version of the Wizard's Protective Force Field, the "Bloodline Avatar," can be created, which can not only defend and protect the body, but also has other wonderful uses.

At this level, with a suitable Bloodline Divine Weapon, Knight can fight against an ordinary Fourth Ring wizard of the same level. If they also cultivate their Talent Imprint to enrich Knight abilities, their true combat strength will certainly not be inferior to that of a wizard.

Thanks to the leader's efforts, the Blood Knight suddenly realized that the Knight were only fit to serve as laborers and guards for mysterious wizards in those Legendary Realm travelogues had unknowingly come to be compared to wizards.

Before the Blood Knight met the captain, he never dared to dream that he could be compared to the high and mighty wizard.

This is simply a fantasy!

"The bright future envisioned by the regimental commander is being realized step by step. That's the kind of commander he is—he does what he says!"

As the Blood Knight was lost in thought, a figure soared into the sky.

"Congratulations Blood Knight, on reaching the Blood Source Realm."

The Divine Light Knight offered his heartfelt congratulations.

"Denise, Denise. I also have some insights and experiences regarding breaking through the bloodline. I have recorded them and placed them in the Knowledge Temple for everyone to use."

The other official members who remained at the Twilight Temple also came to offer their congratulations.

As for the Black Knight, he has also reached his goal and embarked on a long journey to find the magic potion.

The passage between all Land of the Faithless and the Mortal World has now been opened.

Under Levi's guidance, the Black Knight traveled to the "Earth Realm," which was ruled by the Earth School.

There, it would be easier to find the extraordinary creatures with Earth Element Affinity that he needed.

The Black Knight was also Wizard Apprentice, and he wanted to take this opportunity to become Formal Wizard.

With such powerful spiritual energy, his Bloodline Avatar can advance even further.

The year 1136 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Budding.

The 105th year of the Great Expedition.

Emperor Palace.

Levi looked at the letters Eve had retrieved.

"Celia has prepared all the potion materials I need. Let's go back to the Wizard World."

During this time, he has been grinding experience with magic arrays, but getting to the Fourth Ring is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Research on the fourth talent spell, Thunder Dragon Flash, is also progressing smoothly. Once this spell is completed, Levi's ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

The Dark Tower is fraught with danger; survival is always the top priority. You may miss out on treasures, but you must stay alive!

Levi summoned Laja, Phoenix, and a group of Level 4 subordinates, and then left the Emperor Palace.

Several days later.

He has returned to the Endless Sea.

Although the portal Mortal World and the Endless Sea has been opened, for safety's sake, Levi still chose the wild space node that only he knew about.

On Levi's shoulder, Phoenix revisited the place, his heart filled with complex emotions.

"I shouldn't have left here... I'm so regretful!"

Its heart was filled with nothing but regret.

On his way to the Starry Sea Area, Levi made a special trip to the Seventh District of the Inner Ring.

This place used to be the territory of the Thunder Dragon Family. After the Thunder Dragon Family was exiled, their property was confiscated by the Tower of Stars, and their territory was divided up by some small wizard organizations.

"At least for a while, the Thunder Dragon Family, this scourge, won't be able to cause me any trouble."

One month later.

Starry Sea Area.

Nether King City.

The herbal medicine shop in the House of Witches.

Levi met Celia.

"Lord Levi Wei, these are the materials I collected according to your requirements. Not counting the deposit you paid in advance, the total cost is 600,000 Great Stone."

"Thank you, Celia."

Levi glanced at the materials and concluded that he should have enough to cultivate until the Dark Ancient Tower opened.

Collect some more before the Ancient Tower opens, just in case there aren't enough materials you need Ancient Tower.

Now, he only has 2.5 million left in his Great Stone account!

"Taking drugs, grinding for magic array experience, refining weapons... there are too many places that require Great Stone! The cultivation method of a tycoon like me is something that ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard in large organizations simply cannot afford."

After giving Celia some money as a reward, Levi chanted an incantation to enter the main camp and arrived at the Witch Shop.

"Do you have any water Elemental Metal here?" Levi asked.

After Phoenix's refining process, a total of one human head-sized piece of Sonic Gold was extracted from the Sonic Gold ore.

With such a large amount of Sonic Gold, it would definitely be no problem to forge a longsword or a cloak.

However, the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique is a defensive technique.

The most suitable divine weapons are either shields or armor.

In short, these two divine weapons consume a huge amount of Elemental Metal. Therefore, he also needs a piece of water Elemental Metal of roughly the same size.

The combination of the two creates a powerful weapon with both water and soil protection systems.

As a veteran of his own Breathing Technique, how could Levi neglect the Golden Snake? "Last year, our shop did put a large piece of [Lanbo Ore] on the shelves, which is a level four water Elemental Metal, but it was bought... However, one of our House of Witches 'Primal Soul Wizard put a level six water Elemental Metal on the shelves, called [Black Sea Meteorite Iron], but he's not selling it for money, he only needs Elemental Metal of the same level," the shopkeeper said.

"All right."

Levi felt helpless.

Where would he get level six Elemental Metal... and even if he were given level six Black Sea Meteorite Iron for free, with his cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to refine it.

Only the [Origin Soul Fire] of the Primal Soul Wizard or other level six flames can melt it little by little.

Rare Elemental Metal have always been in high demand.

There are three main sources of Elemental Metal: one is those that are born in the Wizard World itself; the second is those that other wizards obtained while traveling through multiple dimensions; and the third is those that fell into Nora in the Darkness Zone. In short, they are all extremely rare.

"Do you have any other Elemental Metal? Any type is fine, but the quality should ideally be level four or higher; anything lower is not acceptable," Levi asked.

"No, we only sell Elemental Metal below level three all year round. Level four and above are sold out as soon as they're put on the shelves..." the shopkeeper said with a wry smile.

"Are there any large-scale auctions in the Starry Sea Area recently?"

Besides the Golden Snake, his Sky Dragon, Death Ash, and Nightmare Dragon also require corresponding rare materials to forge suitable divine weapons.

Sky Dragon is of the wind and thunder elemental attributes and requires Elemental Metal of both attributes.

For the Death Ash, Elemental Metal will suffice. As for Nightmare Dragon, Levi hasn't decided yet.

Judging from the special effects of the Heart of Skywind, the Nightmare Dragon should contain wind attributes, and the wind Elemental Metal should be fine.

However, in Levi's notes in the Dreamland Spire, he encountered another metal, which they called: Nightmare Metal.

It is said that the magical artifacts of the Dream School, forged from Nightmare Metal, are far more powerful than those made from ordinary Elemental Metal.

Therefore, Levi felt that a divine weapon made of this kind of metal would definitely be more suitable for the Nightmare Dragon! "As for the auction, Lord Levi, you can pay attention to the [Starry Gathering] jointly organized by the Twelve Witch Cities, which will be held in three years."

This gathering is held only once every hundred years, and each time many good things are released, including magical artifacts, resources, and knowledge.

It is said that during the last Starry Gathering, even the [Soul Condensing Potion], which can help break through to the Origin Soul realm, appeared, causing a huge sensation in the Starry Sea Area. Some long-lost Fifth Ring powerhouses reappeared. However, in the end, the Leitney Family obtained the potion.

While Elemental Metal are precious, they should still be available at gatherings of this caliber.

"Thank you for letting me know. Please let me know as soon as you have any news about Elemental Metal."

Levi smiled slightly, calmly gave the shopkeeper a bag of Great Stone, and then left.

He had heard of the Starry Gathering, but he never imagined he would actually have the chance to attend one.

"Fifth Ring breakthrough potion! If I can buy it, I won't need to prepare it myself!"

Levi couldn't help but recall the countless hardships he had endured to refine the Succubus Potion.

"A once-in-a-century gathering, there must be a lot of good stuff at this gathering... Although I have 2.5 million, it may not be enough. I need to deal with the stolen goods I have on hand."

Despite having 2.5 million Great Stone, if Levi were to attend the grand event, he probably wouldn't even be able to buy a decent Fifth Ring breakthrough potion.

And so, Levi settled down temporarily in Nether King City.

It has been only three years since the Starry Gathering.

For a wizard, it's just a snap of the fingers.

Instead of going back and forth to the Mortal World, it's better to just stay here and wait for the grand event to begin.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

An island in the Starry Sea Area.

An Nameless underground Black Market.

"Your witch artifact, although it's Fourth Ring witch artifact, is extremely crudely made. You actually want to sell this for 500,000 Great Stone? How about this, I'll take it for 200,000 Great Stone. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come again!"

A slightly aged Fourth Ring Wizard dressed in a gray robe was standing in front of a fat wizard's stall, gazing at the black rapier on the stall with an expression of wanting it but being reluctant to part with it.

"Roll!"

The stall owner was a fat wizard with a face full of scars, who looked extremely intimidating. He was burly and strong, with faint body-refining runes flashing between his body, indicating that he was Body Refinement Wizard.

"Hmph, if you don't want to sell, fine!"

Sensing the fat man's menacing aura, the Gray-Robed Wizard snorted coldly and slunk away.

Some wizards who had set up stalls on the Black Market nearby watched this scene and smiled knowingly.

Clearly, this is not the first time something like this has happened here.

In this Nameless underground Black Market, everyone knows not to provoke that fat wizard. Judging from the looks of it, this Gray-Robed Wizard is probably here for the first time.

When this fat wizard first started setting up his stall, a regular customer of the Black Market once went to his stall to cause trouble.

Then, six months passed, and the wizard never appeared again. The outcome was predictable.

The fat wizard was, of course, Levi in disguise.

In the past six months, in order to dispose of the stolen goods, he has been constantly changing identities and setting up stalls in several Black Market.

Now, six months have passed.

He had disposed of most of the unwanted stolen goods, earning a total of 800,000 Great Stone. Only the last Fourth Ring witch artifact remained, which he had yet to dispose of.

This magical artifact was obtained from the Crypt Wizard. Although it is Fourth Ring artifact, the materials used are of fifth-level quality.

Therefore, Levi's target price was 500,000 Great Stone.

Unfortunately, the crafting level of this magical artifact was really backward, and it was more suitable for use by the Shadow Faction, and there were not many Shadow Faction wizards in the Endless Sea.

So it has never been sold.

"Fine, I won't sell it. I'll have Nute appraise it and keep it for myself. I'm Aether Meditation Technique, and with my Art Power, I can use any school of witchcraft."

Levi thought for a moment and then began to pack up his stall.

"Hey, Fatty, you're leaving?" asked one of the other Rogue Wizard who often set up a stall here.

"I'm leaving." Levi waved his hand and turned to leave.

In the Black Market, a pair of eyes watched the fat wizard leave, then quietly followed.

On the sea, Levi flew at a steady speed, his expression calm.

"3.3 million Great Stone is still not enough... I need to save up at least 5 million Great Stone before the Starry Gathering to buy something decent. I've sold everything I could sell, and what's left is all useful to me."

Levi shook his head.

3.3 million Great Stone is an unimaginable sum of money for any Fourth Ring or even Fifth Ring wizard.

He was still not satisfied!

This is the Greed in people's hearts.

"But how many people in this world are not greedy?"

Thinking of this, he smiled, looked at the slightly raised hairs on his body, and snapped his fingers.

Boom! Terrifying flames swept outwards from him in all directions.

Fire Dragon Tribulation! The next moment, a figure staggered out of the void.

It was the Gray-Robed Wizard had wanted to buy Levi's magical artifacts but was scolded by Levi for being too expensive.

The Gray-Robed Wizard erected Protective Force Field, blocking Levi's flames.

"How... how did you know I was here?"

The Gray-Robed Wizard was shocked. As Fourth Ring Wizard of the Shadow Faction, he was very confident in his stealth abilities.

How did Levi, a mere Body Refinement Wizard, become aware of his own existence?

After that battle with the Crypt Wizard, Levi had mastered a set of effective methods for dealing with the Shadow Faction wizards.

These guys can disappear into the shadows and evade the wizard's mental perception, thus enabling them to carry out assassinations.

However, they did not truly disappear; they can still be damaged by area-of-effect spells.

Levi was too lazy to waste words with him, so he unleashed another Fire Dragon Tribulation attack on the wizard.

The Gray-Robed Wizard barely dodged, only to be met with a magnificent and imposing black sword aura!

Boom! A sword was drawn.

The Gray-Robed Wizard was torn to pieces like a paper doll.

Then, these shattered pieces of paper gathered in the distance to form his frail figure.

"Who... who are you?"

Both are Fourth Ring Wizard, but this guy is ridiculously strong.

Fourth Ring Talent: Phantom Demon Kill!

Endless shadows merged into the Gray-Robed Wizard's body, and he seemed to transform into a shadow demon from the Abyss!

A terrifying black claw tore through the void and vanished into the shadows.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Levi.

The Shadow School excels at sneak attacks and assassinations; their attacks are always impossible to defend against.

Before Levi could react, the terrifying Shadow Demon's claws were already tearing towards him!

He remained completely calm.

Boom! The instant the Shadow Demon's Claw touched Levi.

Dharma Image - Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance

It appeared out of nowhere!

This is the power of the Knight Avatar after Blood Source Three Transformations.

When faced with a crisis, it automatically protects itself! The Shadow Demon's Claws were obliterated by the Golden Snake before they could even break through the Golden Snake Serpent's defenses.

Not to mention, below this, Levi has four more layers of defense that can be activated at any time! This is the highest level of the Armor Stacking Style: saturation defense! With a cold laugh, Levi pointed out, and the Fire Dragon Tribulation swallowed the black shadow in front of him, from which came the screams and pleas for mercy of the Gray-Robed Wizard.

"Don't kill me, I'm from the Shadow Ring..."

His voice abruptly stopped, and he was completely dead! Before he was completely incinerated, Levi used the Ash Eye to quickly condense a Gold Coins.

As for his soul, it has dissipated. That little guy Leon hasn't woken up since he devoured the soul of the Fifth Ring last time.

"I don't care who you are... If you try to steal from me, you'd better be prepared to die. What kind of class do you have to be to try and assassinate me!"

After putting away the Storage Bag and cleaning up the crime scene, Levi checked himself to see if he had been marked with any symbols. Once he confirmed that he hadn't, he quickly left the area.

"The Shadow Ring seems to be an organization of the Shadow Faction. I'll have to check their information when I get back to the House of Witches."

The Shadow Faction and Death Faction, due to the unique nature of their magic, are home to a multitude of outlaws and have consistently high crime rates.

Three days later.

After many twists and turns, Levi quietly returned to Nether King City.

The Gray-Robed Wizard who wanted to rob him actually gave him 400,000 Great Stone for free.

"Why bother? I would have sold it to you for 400,000 if you had offered me that price..." Levi shook his head and sighed.

The rest were all worthless items.

Levi also found some Contract Stone Slab in the corner.

After reading the contents of one of the stone tablets, he sighed with emotion and a touch of melancholy. It was a sales agreement in which the Gray-Robed Wizard sold one of his Fourth Ring magical artifacts to someone else.

This Fourth Ring magical artifact was none other than Minnie's Wonderful House, which Levi had longed for in his early years.

"It seems that a large part of this money came from selling Minnie's Wonderful House. In the end, it still belongs to me. Interesting... Could this be the luck that the Lovers Rune was talking about?"

Levi pondered in his heart.

"It shouldn't be; it's just a coincidence."

Minnie's Wonderful House is no longer of much use to Levi; he no longer has the obsession he once had with it.

However, through the other agreements in the Storage Bag, Levi learned another interesting piece of information.

This Gray-Robed Wizard, taking advantage of the Black Wizard's chaos, used his shadow magic to steal not only Minnie's Wonderful House, but also another Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact: Gargamel's Book of Sealing!

This prized item, which was once the centerpiece of Wizard Newt's shop, was priced at a staggering five million Great Stone!

This magical artifact is shaped like a book, with five pages. The first page can seal a First Ring creature, and so on... the fifth page can seal a Fifth Ring creature! This artifact is a replica of the Ninth Ring Saint Soul Tool, "Gargamel's Fairy Tale World," whose owner was a famous ancient Great Wizard: Gargamel! He was skilled in sealing arts! He once sealed the powerful demon lord, the Hundred Eye Demon Lord! This Gray-Robed Wizard traded Gargamel's Book of Sealing to the head of the Shadow Ring's Endless Sea branch through a deal: Shadow Wolf Matiaz, a powerful wizard of the Shadow School, a Fifth Ring wizard, and very likely already possessing a second Fifth Ring talent, ranking among the senior Fifth Ring wizards. His strength should be no weaker than the Blue Dragon Lady's.

In exchange for the deal, Shadow Wolf promised to give the Gray-Robed Wizard any future Fifth Ring breakthrough potions. Shadow Wolf himself was also a rare Fifth Ring alchemist! "The Shadow Ring, quite a force to be reckoned with. Even though it's just a branch in the Endless Sea, it already has Fifth Ring wizard in charge. It must be Primal Soul Wizard organization."

Levi later learned from Nute that this prized possession, like "Gargamel's Fairy Tale World," did not belong to a conventional supernatural space.

It can imprint the sealed beings on the pages of the book, transforming them into an "illustration book." The sealed beings do not exist in a sub-space like the Alice's Ring, but rather in the artifact itself! In other words, even in other dimensions, these sealed extraordinary beings can still be summoned, similar to the Soul Artifact "Book of Myriad Spirits" mentioned by the Immortal Banyan Dragon! It is said that Gargamel's Saint Soul Tool is a thick "fairy tale book."

This "fairy tale book" contains all sorts of powerful supernatural creatures, such as Werewolf, Blood Ghost, Fierce Spirit, dragons, and even wicked witches.

These were all once Gargamel's defeated foe! He transformed these defeated foe into his enslaved subjects in this way.

With this book, Gargamel became an army all by himself, leaving behind a formidable reputation in the various dimensions he traveled through.

"With this book, my journey to the Dark Ancient Tower will be much safer... Unfortunately, it belongs to a senior Fifth Ring wizard, otherwise I might have gone and pulled off a heist."

Levi shook his head, abandoning Greed and distracting thoughts, and focused on his spiritual practice.

The year 1137 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The Great Expedition is in its 106th year.

There are only two years left until the Starry Gathering.

The 35th Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order.

"Commander, I have successfully joined a low-level wizarding organization in the Earth Realm. Next, I will search for materials for Advancement Magic Potion and prepare to advance to the First-Circle Wizard here," the Black Knight said.

"Sure, I've never been to the Earth Realm either. Take this opportunity to gather as much intelligence as possible here, just in case," Levi said. "Also, I have a list of materials that might only be available in the Earth Realm. Write them down and help me find them when you're not cultivating."

"Yes, Commander, I will keep that in mind!" the Black Knight said solemnly.

The leader's affairs are the most important matters for the Twilight Knight Order!

These members knew their own abilities were limited and that they could hardly offer much help to Levi on his path forward.

So everyone conscientiously took care of all sorts of logistical work, allowing Levi to venture out without any worries! "Captain, I'll soon be at the peak of level two. Next, I'd like to go to the Earth Realm with Elsa to seek my advancement materials, and we can also support each other with the Black Knight," Mu Di said.

"Go ahead, just don't cause any trouble outside."

"The Divine Light Knight and I are still quite far from the peak of level two, so we will guard the Temple and wait for your triumphant return!" Dinos looked at Denise, and the two smiled at each other.

"Looks like something's up... cough cough, don't worry, I won't disturb your time together. I plan to head to the God Forsaken Land first to gather intelligence for the Knight." The Blood Knight said with a gossipy expression.

A thought struck Levi: Mu Di and Dinos, no wonder they're master and apprentice, they're both quite skilled at flirting with girls...

After the meeting.

Levi continued his methodical cultivation in Nether King City, awaiting the start of the Starry Gathering.

This day.

Levi arrived at the Starfire Wizard Academy.

Nowadays, the college is full of familiar faces.

Ha Fuman from the Potion Making Department, Sha Wei Er from the Artifact Forging Department, and Nute from the Identification Department.

Returning here felt like coming home to Levi.

So, we took some free time to get together and get to know each other better.

After the party.

Levi found Wizard Newt.

"You have another friend who wants to have a Fourth Ring sorcerer appraised?" Nute looked at Levi with a wry smile.

"That's right, I have too many friends..." Levi said.

"Give it to me," Nute said with a smile.

Levi gave the magical artifacts he had obtained from the Crypt Wizard to Nute.

"A rare level-five material, crafted from Gloom Metal... What a pity, wasted by such a crude crafting technique, what a waste!" Nute said with a regretful expression.

"Can it be identified?"

"No problem."

How much does the appraisal cost?

"No need, given our relationship."

"That won't do, we need to settle this clearly."

"Give me 50,000 Great Stone."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble. By the way, where's the Rose Witch? I haven't seen her in a long time," Levi asked casually.

Nute's face fell, and he said, "Lord Levi, come with me."

In a secret room beneath the Starfire Wizard Academy.

Levi saw a glass pillar that looked like it was carved from ice crystals and emitted a chilling aura.

Inside the pillar, there was some mysterious blue liquid.

The Rose Witch's eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and her chest was heaving, proving that she was still alive.

"In order to avoid being pulled into the Nightmare World, Rose has not slept for a long time, nor has she meditated. She is relying entirely on medicine to stay awake, and her cultivation has also come to a standstill. She is almost on the verge of collapse."

Having no other choice, I swallowed my pride and went to Spiro, Spiro helped me find Principal Garcia.

Upon hearing this, the principal also lamented the horror of the Nightmare World, but he had no solution.

The only way he could use was an instrument he had once obtained, combined with a magic array, to temporarily freeze Rose, putting her into a semi-conscious state. This would prevent her from being pulled into the Nightmare World, but at the same time, she would lose consciousness and become like a vegetable.

If it weren't for the principal, Rose might have given up long ago.

The principal said that to completely solve this problem, we must enter the Nightmare World and eliminate its root cause; otherwise, any method will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

The principal speculated that the culprit, judging from the methods he had used, was probably no less powerful than him, and he told me to prepare myself for losing Rose.

I considered asking the principal for help, but I didn't have anything that could persuade him. The principal also said that even if he managed to enter the perilous Nightmare World and find the culprit behind all this, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, almost impossible.

"I'm out of options. I can only hope that the Flower Witch will return and see if she has a solution." Nute's face was contorted with pain.

Watching helplessly as his beloved is dragged step by step into Nightmare by that damned Human-Faced Spider, with no power to resist, what despair must that feel like?

Levi remained silent.

He does have a way to find the Human-Faced Spider directly... the problem is he can't beat it.

Even Garcia said that the Human-Faced Spider was very powerful, and that it would be a waste of his time to go in with Fourth Ring cultivator.

"Everything will be alright, let's wait for the Flower Witch to return," Levi patted Nute on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Thank you, Mr. Levi." Nute's eyes were slightly moist as he led Levi away.

In the container, only the Rose Witch remained, lonely and immersed in the liquid.

Upon returning to Nether King City, he witnessed Rose's tragic fate.

Levi craved power even more; he would never allow such helplessness to befall him!

The year 1139 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Budding.

In Nether King City, Levi opened his eyes, his face filled with excitement.

In his mind, a vivid image of a ferocious purple Thunder Dragon coiled around the Law Ring Holy Tower.

"Thunder Dragon Flash!"
