The island, which has witnessed over a century of Temple history, slowly sank.

Compared to the Wu Yin ocean, it's not even a single wave.

Levi's figure gradually faded into the distance.

He didn't have time to rest.

Our gaze turns to the Seven Kingdoms Continent, now home to the Nine Kingdoms Continent.

Behind him stood twenty elders, solemnly high in the sky.

"Come with me!"

To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots!

Ghost Mistress is dead.

But she still has a base on Mortal World.

That's the Ghost Country; her subordinates should still be there.

Now that we've already killed Ghost Mistress, let's go all the way and completely eradicate her influence!

This way you can better protect yourself!

Otherwise, the headquarters of the Soul Reaping Tower will come to investigate.

They might even be able to trace it back to Levi.

Collect all the Ancient Saint and Corpse Demons into the Alice's Ring.

Levi flew towards the Ghost Country at top speed, racing against time.

The land of the subspace.

The Hell Realm.

This place is like Hell, filled with negative energy.

Deathly aura, miasma, poisonous gas... permeated the area, making it practically a no-man's land.

On the ancient battlefields that can be seen everywhere, weak undead wander about.

As Nora's subspace.

This wasn't originally the case.

After the end of the ancient era.

Some powerful beings from Hell once led a vast army of Archdemon, countless demon lords, and lesser demons to invade this place.

A great battle erupted between Hell beings and Legendary Wizard here.

Ultimately, the beings of Hell were slain and perished here.

Just like the phenomenon of "Wizardfall" in witchcraft.

Hell existence comparable to the gods and the corpse of the Archdemon.

Even after death, it continued to pollute this subspace.

The existence of Hell has transformed this place into a "Mortal World hell" with its vicious curses.

Endless negative energy permeates this place.

Most traditional Elemental School avoid it like the plague.

Only one group, which at the time belonged to the primary school school, survived.

This is the Death School.

Apart from "high-level" maps like Hell and the Underworld.

Nowhere is more suitable for their spiritual practice than here.

Moreover, because he frequently studied corpses and was surrounded by filthy things.

The Death School is still often stereotyped.

"Evil," "cunning," "brutal," and so on.

This makes it relatively easy for sorcerers of the Death School to be isolated by other schools.

The reclusive sorcerers of the Death School were quite pleased with this.

Here, they have taken root, grown, and developed to where they are today.

It has become the second tier of schools of thought, second only to the four Traditional School.

With a Legendary Wizard in charge, the death wizards have become more assertive.

Unlike the Endless Sea, which is a large place that divides administrative regions by the number of rings.

The Hell Realm is divided into four major regions.

[Rotten Swamp], [Howling Wilderness], [Dragon Bone Mountain Range], [Devil Highlands]

Each region has a High-Rank Wizard organization similar to the Six Towers of the Endless Sea.

On the Howling Wilderness.

The dominant power is the [Necromancy Tower].

As an organization that has produced several Great Wizard in the past.

In recent years, the Necromancy Tower has faced pressure from its neighbors.

This neighbor is the [Soul Reaping Tower].

Aside from the fact that no Great Wizard has ever been born.

In terms of the number of Primal Soul Wizard, the Soul Reaping Tower is no less than that of the Necromancy Tower.

The reason is that there are two Primal Soul Wizard in the Soul Reaping Tower who were originally nearing the end of their lives.

They were all lucky enough to become liches.

One of them was a very famous figure in the Howling Wilderness:

Banshee of Pain!

In a desolate place, deep underground.

There is a luxurious underground palace.

This place is teeming with terrifying undead creatures.

Some powerful beings are so powerful that even Fifth Ring wizard would avoid them.

For example, the enormous bone dragon coiled in the underground lake had an aura comparable to that of Primal Soul Wizard.

If it were a knowledgeable master of the Dragon School like Levi.

It's obvious at a glance.

This bone dragon must have been some kind of pure-blooded Dragonkind in its previous life.

However, it seems that it became an undead creature while still in its growth stage.

The Wizard Tower in the center of the underground palace.

A witch dressed in a black robe, her face pale, is conducting an experiment in the laboratory with a focused expression.

She is none other than the Pain Banshee Emira.

Throughout their long lives, the lich's favorite activity was research.

Because they live longer, liches are more knowledgeable than regular Primal Soul Wizard.

Moreover, their strength is generally above average.

They honed their magic to perfection, and the number of spells they mastered far exceeded that of others.

"The 864th experiment failed..."

The Banshee of Pain stared at the data before her, her heart unmoved.

"How can we solve the problem of Lich Meditation not increasing mental power?"

Could it be that without material support, the spirit truly cannot find solace and growth?

Then how does the Astral Realm, where the gods reside, exist and function? If the Astral Realm is formed by the projection of the spiritual power of living beings...

The Astral Realm gods should be some kind of "pure spiritual energy entities".

The gods can grow stronger by absorbing the Power of Faith.

Why can't my Origin Soul grow stronger through meditation after leaving my physical body?

I really, really want to... capture a god and study him!

Amira's eyes were filled with longing.

She craved knowledge, power, and... true immortality!

At this stage, liches can only be described as Long-Lived Species.

According to her research.

So far, after converting to Lich.

Life expectancy will be two to three times longer than before, with the exact difference varying from person to person.

Even Legendary Wizard, transformed into a lich.

At most, their lifespan is 30,000 years.

However, so far, no Legendary Wizard has successfully converted.

"Let's continue. Begin the 865th experiment."

The Banshee of Pain did not give up.

If a thousand times doesn't work, then try ten thousand.

At that very moment.

Inside the underground palace, a figure resembling a madwoman appeared.

"What's up?"

The Banshee of Pain frowned and asked.

The madwoman is none other than the Tyrannical Lady, Isabella.

She knelt on the ground, bowed her head, and said, "Teacher... news from the organization is that Naira is dead."

"So what if he's dead? People can't be brought back to life. Don't disturb my experiment."

The Banshee of Pain spoke coldly, cruelly.

If it weren't for the organization's mission, she wouldn't really want to take on apprentices.

He was a lich who had lived for three thousand years.

These people's level of knowledge is completely different from mine.

It's not very useful to collect it; it would just be a waste of my time.

However, for the sake of the organization's continuation, the Soul Reaping Tower...

Every Primal Soul Wizard is required to bring out at least three Fifth Ring Wizards every thousand years.

The Banshee of Pain only brought out three disciples to meet her performance targets.

Tyrannical Lady, Ghost Mistress, Wild Bone Wizard.

Among them, the Tyrannical Lady has the best talent and is expected to advance to the Origin Soul in the future.

That's why the Banshee of Pain paid special attention to it.

As for the other two, they've been left to their own devices for a long time.

"Teacher, the organization wants me to go to the Mortal World to investigate the truth and at the same time take over the overall situation of the Mortal World branch in place of Naira."

"The Tyrannical Lady said in a low voice."

"Go ahead, but you just want to avenge your stupid son, don't you... All he does is cause trouble and is utterly useless. If it were me, I'd rather turn a son like that into a corpse puppet," said the Banshee of Pain.

The Tyrannical Lady remained silent, clearly convinced that the teacher had hit the nail on the head.

Although she was mentally unstable, her maternal love for Ba'erzan was genuine.

Most wizards, in order to continue their practice, avoid being burdened by their children.

They all began to have offspring only after they had achieved a certain level of cultivation.

They might even establish wizarding families, branching out and leaving their mark before they die.

Such sorcerers often treat their offspring as tools and are very indifferent to emotions.

But the Tyrannical Lady is different; she comes from the Mortal World.

She had children before she became a witch.

Later, both mother and son were found to have wizarding talent, so she embarked on a wizarding journey with Ba'erzan.

She has great talent, while Ba'erzan's is average.

She was only eighteen years older than Ba'erzan.

She was already a senior Fifth Ring wizard, while Ba'erzan was only Fourth Ring Body Refinement Wizard before his death.

In fact, without her help, Ba'erzan would have had a very difficult time getting to the Fourth Ring.

After thinking for a moment, the Tyrannical Lady said:

"Teacher...I'm sorry, but I only have one child Ba'erzan."

The thought that he didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated, and that the murderer might still be at large, is unbearable.

I can't control my emotions.

I'm afraid I'm going completely insane... I have to solve this problem!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to pursue the path of the Origin Soul.

After a long silence, the Banshee of Pain spoke in a low voice.

"Don't cause me any trouble outside. I just want to do my research in peace."

Our master-disciple relationship ended after you left the Fifth Ring.

Even if you die, I won't stand up for you.

These trivial matters are not worth my time.

Remember, I trained the three of you to help my teacher and the organization.

I also hope that after you resolve this matter, you can change your mind.

If you focus your efforts on learning and cultivation, with your talent, advancing to the Origin Soul is still very promising.

Upon hearing this, the Tyrannical Lady was somewhat disappointed, but dared not show it. She assured her:

"I understand, I can handle it myself!"

Watching the Tyrannical Lady leave.

The Banshee of Pain sighed.

The reason she was able to transform into a lich.

She couldn't do without the help of her teacher, the master of the Soul Reaping Tower.

Therefore, there is no way to abandon the organization.

Her teacher was just one step away from becoming Great Wizard in his lifetime.

But as his time was drawing to a close, he had no choice but to transform into a lich.

It is now five thousand years old.

Under normal circumstances, this is a lifespan that only Great Wizard can possess.

Five thousand years of history have made teachers stronger and stronger.

It can be said that, apart from the Great Wizard, the entire Hell Realm...

Those who can be compared to the teacher are few and far between.

However, the teacher was not satisfied.

He still wanted to reach the level of Great Wizard, or even Legendary Realm! So, in order to solve the problem of the stagnation of the Lich's spiritual power, he never stopped experimenting and researching.

The teacher was perfectly normal.

Until an accidental experiment more than a thousand years ago.

He disappeared for hundreds of years.

During this time, no one knew where he went.

After returning, his temper became increasingly strange, irritable, and manic.

It was around that time that the Soul Reaping Tower began to operate under his leadership.

It began to grow wildly, expand rapidly, and make enemies everywhere.

It almost clashed with the long-established organization, the Necromancy Tower.

Ultimately, thanks to the mediation and deterrence of a Great Wizard in the council, High-Rank Wizard war was averted.

And teachers are also secretly referred to by many as:

Mad Lich Pan.

This day.

Above the Ghostly Forbidden Zone.

A figure emerged from the high sky.

Behind Levi, the Council of Elders, the saints, the corpse demons, the puppets, and others all stood in the void.

"Destroy this place!"

At a command.

The Ancient Saint moved with impunity, wreaking havoc.

Leon was like a demon, and ghosts and spirits avoided him like the plague.

A barrage of colorful attacks swept across the area.

Ultimately, the entire restricted area was razed to the ground under relentless bombardment.

The Ghost Mistress's henchmen were all wiped out.

The undead creatures within the forbidden zone were also purified and exorcised by Levi's flames.

"Walk!"

Levi put away his thugs.

After clearing the battlefield, quickly evacuate the area.

The commotion here is too big; I reckon it won't be long before a crowd gathers to watch.

The next day.

Levi returned to the Ancient Saint Plane.

After taking some simple healing medicine.

Despite his injuries, he began to set up a magic array.

"Twilight Island is gone, but the Ancient Saint Plane must not be lost."

It's not just because it's a small plane.

In this era of interdimensional convergence, no smaller plane near the Nora Plane is more peaceful and undisturbed than the Ancient Saint Plane.

As an experimental field, Sauron must have used some means to isolate the Ancient Saint Plane.

To avoid being found by other Primal Soul Wizard are traveling between dimensions.

Due to the uncontrollable force of the intersecting planes, the Ancient Saint Plane is now inevitably bordering Nora.

Entrances also began to appear in the Mortal World.

Levi must protect this entrance.

This will be my last home until I grow up.

After rearranging the Fourth Ring magic array at the plane entrance.

Levi was completely exhausted.

Everything from beginning to end was for this battle for the Fifth Ring.

He prepared for a year or two.

During this period, he was under constant stress and was physically and mentally exhausted.

This is something that even a strong physique cannot change.

Have the Ancient Saint and corpse demons guard the entrance.

Levi returned to the Emperor Palace.

He wasn't even in the mood to count the spoils.

He took some medicine to regulate his mind and body, and then closed his eyes.

He didn't even know when the last time he slept was.

He fell asleep.

It's three months.

No control panel, no grinding, no worries or troubles.

It's just sleeping.

He slept straight through to the Month of the North Wind.

The cold winds of the Northern Territory have once again blown to the south of the Peacock Kingdom.

Along with it came the Blue Frost Undead covering the mountains and plains.

And three frost bone dragons that swept away everything.

That winter.

Under the Church's instigation, the Peacock Kingdom's army and the Blue Frost Undead engaged in fierce battles, with the battle lines stretching across the entire north-south dividing line.

The price of Mithril has been rising steadily.

The "North Wind War," a war that would change the fate of the kingdom, had begun.

In order to fight against the dead, the Church, in the name of the Father, summoned Knight to the front lines.

Regular troops and militia were all sent to the battlefield.

Even so, they suffered repeated defeats.

The Daughter of Blue Frost atop the Frost Bone Dragon possesses the terrifying ability to transform mortals into Blue Frost.

In addition, the Blue Frost Undead ' immortality caused the undead army to grow exponentially, snowballing in size.

Yelin and Teresa Theresa had no choice but to deploy their most powerful sealing artifacts and pay a heavy price to join forces and defeat the Daughter of Blue Frost.

Of the three bone dragons, two died, leaving only one, which escaped back to the Blue Frost Plane with the heavily wounded Daughter of Blue Frost.

However, this could not change the inevitable defeat of the "North Wind War".

Unless the unsolvable "Blue Frost" can be broken, allowing mortals to be completely free from its corrosive effects.

Rumors say that the saint has prayed to the Astral Realm, asking the gods to bestow divine power upon him.

However, judging from the continuous defeats of the kingdom's army so far...

Neither the Heavenly Father nor the Earth Mother responded.

When it rains, it pours; who knows when it will end?

Rumors of the devil appearing in the Mortal World world gradually spread, but it was unclear whether they were true or not.

Meanwhile, in the Lost Mountains, the conflict between the Father Empire and the Molten Fire Kingdom continues unabated and escalates.

The Eternal Church felt that the existence of its neighbor, the Father Empire, threatened its rule.

Despite sending large armies to the Lost Mountains multiple times, the results were ultimately less than ideal.

The situation of nine kingdoms coexisting has become a foregone conclusion.

An era of moral decay and rampant chaos has arrived.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Whether in times of peace and prosperity or in times of darkness and chaos.

The most miserable are the ordinary people who are used as tools and fuel by all sorts of powerful figures and interest groups.

This day.

The sea area where Twilight Island was located in the past.

In the air.

Saint Estella, dressed in a starry gauze dress, gazed at the empty sea with a look of confusion on her beautiful face.

Beside her stood a burly man with a heroic air.

"He was never home before when I came, and this time... he's not even home," Estella said helplessly.

"A battle at the Saint level once took place here." The dragon's expression was solemn. He grabbed at the air, and the broken walls and ruins of a Temple appeared before him.

"I heard that the forbidden zone in the Gaia Kingdom also disappeared a few months ago, which should be related to the disappearance of this place," Estella said.

"Who on earth could destroy a forbidden zone? There's Fifth Ring wizard guarding it. Ghost Mistress's strength is enough to make Teresa wary. In this world, besides Gulado, who can defeat Ghost Mistress?" the dragon wondered.

"It's probably just infighting among wizards. It has nothing to do with us. Let's go. It seems he doesn't really want to cooperate with us." Estella slightly disappointed.

The Month of the Freezing Winter.

Levi awoke in the Emperor Palace.

At this moment, he was completely transformed, radiating energy and vitality.

"We still need to balance work and rest."

After waking up, Levi summoned Feather King.

"During this time? Nothing has happened in the Empire, has it?"

"No."

"Retreat."

Levi left the Emperor Palace and arrived at the entrance to the plane.

They inquired about the Ancient Saint guarding this place and the Poison Fire Corpse Demon.

Final decision.

I've been eliminating Ghost Mistress and the Forbidden Zone for three months now.

The organization behind her did not come knocking on her door.

He had already had Leon devour all the marks and souls of those people, truly destroying all traces.

He felt that the Soul Reaping Tower could only be reached by the Primal Soul Wizard himself.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to find themselves either.

Even if it turns out that Levi did it, he's not afraid.

As long as the coordinates of the Ancient Saint Plane are not exposed, no one can find him by hiding here.

After confirming that he was temporarily safe, Levi returned to the Emperor Palace with a satisfied smile.

This time, they killed a genuine Fifth Ring wizard.

The harvest will certainly be plentiful.

To leave a sense of anticipation, Levi opened Ghost Mistress's Storage Bag last.

First, take stock of the Storage Bag of the ordinary wizards.

Then a look of joy appeared on his face.

The little shrimps under Ghost Mistress actually provided him with a full three million Great Stone.

"I've struck it rich! I only had two million Great Stone left... and suddenly, I have five million."

"I can't spend it all, I simply can't spend it all!" Levi felt a surge of satisfaction.

He had previously spent a lot of money researching the Fourth Ring Magic Array.

Indeed, the only way to relieve worries is to get rich quick!

In addition, there were dozens of other magical artifacts.

Most of these are low-level magical artifacts; there are only five magical artifacts of the Third Ring or higher, and only one magical artifact of the Fourth Ring.

"They're all from the Death Faction, and many are standard magical artifacts from the Soul Reaping Tower. We can't deal with them right now... Let's leave them for now."

With Levi's current level of expertise in weapon crafting, magic arrays, and knowledge,

He didn't need Nute to appraise those low-level magical artifacts; he knew how to use them.

He selected some magical artifacts that would be useful for the organization and the development of the empire.

It was placed in the treasury of the Twilight Temple and the Spirit Energy Academy.

Those who contribute enough spellcasters can exchange for it.

The rest, I'll deal with them when I have time.

As for other resources, such as herbs.

They are mostly related to the Death School.

These miscellaneous items, plus the witchcraft artifacts, should be worth at least two million Great Stone.

It simply means that it cannot be cashed out for the time being.

Levi estimated that if he wanted to sell these things quickly, he would have to go to the Hell Realm.

The Death School wizards are scattered in other places and cannot be absorbed in a short period of time.

However, if the matter is handled in the Hell Realm, it might attract the attention of the Soul Reaping Tower.

I don't want to think about these things for now.

After sorting and categorizing the spoils,

Levi stored over a hundred different spells from the Death School, ranging from magic tricks to the Fourth Ring, into his knowledge base.

Levi, waiting until he had finished learning the elemental magic.

He then began to study other schools of thought, such as those concerning life and death.

at last.

Levi rubbed his hands together excitedly, staring at Ghost Mistress's Storage Bag.

After much effort, Levi finally managed to break the restriction on the Storage Bag using his extensive knowledge of magic arrays.

A terrifying ghost appeared before him, attempting to attack Levi's mind.

Grabbed by Levi's large hand, which was enveloped in blood energy, it turned into ashes.

The Storage Bag was filled with a blinding white light, brimming with Great Stone, which dazzled Levi's eyes.

After scanning with his mental energy, Levi's face lit up with surprise.

"5.6 million Great Stone... What a rich woman! And this is just an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard. If it were someone like Blue Dragon Lady or Solett, their assets would probably be in the tens of millions?"

Levi was lost in thought.

He put the Great Stone into his Storage Ring.

"10.6 million Great Stone..."

It felt like a dream, and I still couldn't believe it when I woke up.

Tens of millions of Great Stone, in cash!

So, who else is there?

What Levi didn't know was...

In fact, most ordinary wizards in the Fifth Ring don't usually carry that much cash.

Everyone only keeps some as spares, and then exchanges them for magical artifacts or resources to enhance their strength.

The reason Ghost Mistress is so rich is because she was sent to the Mortal World by the Soul Reaping Tower to establish a branch.

A portion of it came from the public funds of the Soul Reaping Tower!

Now, all the money belongs to Levi.

"With so many Great Stone, it would take an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard several generations to accumulate if they only earned and didn't spend them... I'm damn rich."

Of course, ten million seems like a lot.

It's only the price of two top-quality Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, and it won't last long.

"I don't really need witchcraft or anything like that. The Fire Ouroboros alone is enough for me to use until the Fifth Ring of the environment. I need to plan this money carefully and use it where it's most needed."

The essential requirement is the materials for Meditation Aid Potion; these must be spent.

The Dark Ancient Tower will open in a little over a decade.

Before starting, prepare enough medicinal materials to last for decades.

To avoid slowing down my cultivation progress by not being able to find all the raw materials inside.

Then there's the inheritance of knowledge, which also needs to be purchased.

Knowledge is the ladder to progress and a condition for the evolution of the panel.

In any extraordinary profession, mastering more knowledge is essential to understanding not only what is done, but also why it is done.

In the Storage Bag, besides the Great Stone, there were only a few spell Crystal Ball.

Levi checked them one by one.

They are all Fifth Ring spells, some from the Death School and others from other schools.

He acquired a total of five types of Fifth Ring spells.

The most useful one for Levi is the Fifth Ring level "Summon Undead".

This spell can summon a level 5 entity similar to a scythe necromancer.

Such undead spirits usually live in the fifth level of Hell.

It's possible that it could appear on the earlier floors, but the probability is low.

Generally speaking, the deeper you go in Hell, the more concentrated the negative energy becomes.

Just like plants taking root, whether it's a demon or an undead, if they have the power, they will venture deeper.

Of course, there are always some people like the Duke of Blood Lake who, perhaps to escape their enemies or for other purposes, will try every means to sneak to the front.

After storing Ghost Mistress's knowledge in the knowledge base.

Levi discovered that, without realizing it, he already had nearly three thousand different magic tricks.

Even the rare Third Ring Spell Model number 132, the Fourth Ring models 41, and the Fifth Ring models 9.

With so much knowledge, Levi could easily establish his own Fifth Ring Wizarding Organization.

Back then, the knowledge base of the Gray-White Tower was nothing compared to Levi's.

Levi will incorporate all this knowledge into the knowledge management system of the Twilight Temple.

Those with wizarding talent can exchange it for cultivation.

At the same time, the Spirit Energy Academy of the Ancient Dragon Empire can also supplement one's knowledge.

Ghost Mistress's Storage Bag was like a huge treasure vault.

Including the shroud that Levi tore apart, Levi also obtained more than a dozen witch artifacts from Ghost Mistress.

Moreover, they are all located above the Third Ring...

These magical artifacts are not limited to the Death School; other schools of thought also possess them.

Clearly, this Ghost Mistress has also committed numerous acts of murder and arson.

Among these magical artifacts, a Fourth Ring artifact shaped like a book caught Levi's attention.

On the surface of the book, there are distorted, vengeful spirits drawn.

They kept wriggling and deforming, trying to crawl out of the book.

"The Book of the Dead".

Below the book cover is the name of the maker.

"The Soul-Devouring Demon Wizard Wagner! It's him..."

Levi's heart stirred.

This is the Black Wizard that Immortal Banyan Dragon claimed to have killed.

She also obtained a Origin Soul artifact Book of Myriad Spirits, as a result.

This magical artifact is similar in style to the Book of Myriad Spirits.

However, it looks more antique and has a stronger sense of history.

Levi speculated that this Book of the Dead might be an early creation of the Soul-Devouring Demon Wizard.

So its functions should be similar to the Book of Myriad Spirits, just a lower-spec version.

He looked at it and saw another passage on the title page of the Book of the Dead.

Everyone will die, except me!

"How arrogant... Didn't you get hammered to death by the Immortal Banyan Dragon? Don't plant your flag randomly, buddy."

Levi opened the Book of the Dead and discovered that it contained instructions on how to use it, and even methods for crafting and upgrading the Book of the Dead.

It's as if the Soul-Devouring Demon Wizard deliberately allowed any wizard who obtained the book to use the Book of the Dead.

In other words, no testing is needed and Levi can use it.

This made Levi pay extra attention to the sorcery, fearing it might be a trap Soul-Devouring Demon Wizard.

The Book of the Dead has two functions.

One is to Summon Undead. As long as you recite the incantation in the book, even if you are not a wizard of the Death School, you can summon a level four Hell undead to fight for you.

Another function is to seal away the undead. The Book of the Dead can seal spirit-like beings within its pages, making them the book's "spirits."

During battle, these undead will be released to fight the enemy.

The Book of the Fourth Ring Book of the Dead can seal one hundred undead.

This must include a level four undead as the "main artifact spirit".

Of course, there can't be too many high-level undead.

The Book of the Dead will not be able to withstand this.

The undead will almost certainly turn against the wizard, with serious consequences.

The Book of the Dead is a magical artifact that can be upgraded.

Growing up is also very simple.

First, ask the Artifact Forging to reinforce and upgrade the Book of the Dead using level 5 negative energy materials.

Then, advance the main artifact spirit to level five.

Thus, a Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact was created.

After growing up, the maximum number of undead that can be sealed will become one thousand.

"A very powerful magical artifact... but it's somewhat dangerous."

Levi opened the Book of the Dead; on each page was sealed a necromancer.

These undead, even the weakest of them, are at the First Ring level, far more powerful than those ghosts.

The further you flip through the pages, the more powerful the sealed undead become.

Second Ring, Third Ring...

We reached the last three pages.

Levi saw three level-four undead with different appearances.

They are a Headless Swordsman necromancer riding Skeleton Warhorse, a little girl necromancer holding a broken doll, and even a scythe necromancer.

However, the aura of this scythe-wielding undead was much weaker than that of the level-five undead that had escaped back to Hell.

"The Headless Swordsman, the Wraith Girl, the Scythe Demon Spirit... all possess powerful and bizarre abilities, and with the right opportunity, they can all advance to level five!"

These are Ghost Mistress's most important collections.

The strongest is the Headless Swordsman, who is also the main spirit of the Book of the Dead.

Currently, I am at the peak of level four and have mastered powerful sword skills.

If it weren't for the worry that the Book of the Dead wouldn't hold up.

Ghost Mistress may have already helped him advance to the level of a level five Evil Spirit.

At that time, she will possess a Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.

The Wraith Girl possesses a strange "curse" ability.

As for the Scythe Demon Spirit, Levi had already seen its enhanced version.

He shattered all of his defenses with a single strike and severely injured him.

If that guy's scythe hadn't been of poor quality and been shattered by the Red Dragon Ironcleaver Slash, Leon might not have been able to scare him away.

Levi closed the Book of the Dead.

"Although it is Fourth Ring magical artifact, its true power is stronger than some Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact!"

Unless you encounter someone like Leon, who is a natural counter to undead, with this magical artifact, you're practically invincible at the same cultivation level!

He has no immediate plans to refine the book; he'll do so after he has thoroughly studied it.

Next to the Book of the Dead, there was a large pile of materials.

"Level 5 Soul-Nourishing Wood, Level 5 Dark Corpse Skin..."

These materials are extremely obscure.

Levi knew him.

It's because the Book of the Dead mentions these materials.

Their purpose is to refine them to advance to the Fifth Ring! At that time, hundreds or even thousands of undead will surround you.

Holding the Book of the Dead, one can transform into a necromantic scourge, sweeping away everything! "The Ghost Mistress's original intention was to use these materials to advance the Book of the Dead to the Fifth Ring."

However, these materials aren't complete... some are missing, and they're only found in Hell, which is troublesome.

Levi put away the Book of the Dead, intending to deal with it later.

This is the most valuable thing about Ghost Mistress.

Moreover, the Book of the Dead is similar to Gargamel's Book of Sealing.

The difference is that the Book of the Dead can only seal spirit beings.

Gargamel, on the other hand, can seal any creature, even a wizard!

Therefore, it is different from ordinary extraordinary biological spaces.

The Book of the Dead can be brought into the Dark Ancient Tower! To make the journey to the Dark Ancient Tower smoother.

Levi felt that he still needed to refine it in the future.

This will also significantly improve his strength.

Facing the Fifth Ring Wizard in the Ancient Tower gave them even more confidence.

As for the shroud, it was already torn.

Furthermore, without proper identification, Levi didn't know how to use it.

He then put it away, intending to have it appraised later; if it was valuable, he would keep it; otherwise, he would sell it.

"Using something as unlucky as a shroud as a witchcraft tool... that's just asking for death."

After the Ghost Mistress's spoils were inventoried.

Levi was in an extremely pleasant mood.

The Ghost Mistress dropped so many Gold Coins! Enough for Levi Wei to cultivate in the Mortal World and the Ancient Saint Plane for a long time.

After reviewing the battle with Ghost Mistress.

Levi discovered that the greatest contributor to this battle was...

It's Leon!

He gazed at the little creature sleeping in the Green Field Fairy House.

"No matter what, we must bring Leon in. He can be my key asset."

To bring Leon in, Levi can only think of two ways at the moment.

First, give Leon the Dark Ancient Tower Key, so that when it is opened, Leon can enter it.

But Triss told him that after being teleported into the Dark Ancient Tower, everyone would randomly appear on the first floor.

This means he will break up with Leon.

The Dark Ancient Tower is vast and boundless; if Leon were lost inside, or killed by someone else, he would be in grave danger.

He cannot afford such a loss.

Then there's only the second method left.

Find a magical artifact similar to Gargamel's Book of Sealing.

Using this magical artifact, Leon was temporarily sealed inside.

Once inside the Dark Ancient Tower, the seal can be broken.

"Shadow Wolf Matiaz".

Levi murmured to himself, his mind racing.

It takes him this long to kill a Ghost Mistress.

It was meticulously planned, all the cards were played, and only with the help of a powerful formation could it be barely accomplished.

Shadow Wolf is a senior wizard of the Fifth Ring.

In terms of actual strength, even two or three Ghost Mistress might not be a match for him.

It is difficult to do without external assistance.

"Alright, what am I thinking? Levi, you're getting cocky. You're starting to think about actively hunting down Fifth Ring wizards."

Levi dismissed this dangerous idea.

However, he decided to pay more attention to Shadow Wolf's intelligence.

If there's an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, you can still give it a try.

As for purchasing several million worth of magical artifacts from a Fifth Ring wizard?

With his Fourth Ring strength, he was basically telling Shadow Wolf: I'm rich and stupid, come and kill me for Gold Coins! The Shadow Ring doesn't have a good reputation.

This branch manager isn't a good person either.

The days that followed.

Levi never left his house, not even his second door.

They spend their days holing up experience in the Ancient Saint Plane, quietly lying dormant like turtles.

However, he would visit the Rose Witch every now and then.

Help the Rose Witch with whatever you can in exchange for some information about the Mortal World.

One should be cautious and prudent, but one should not engage in isolationism or closed-door policies.

Only by understanding the general trend of the world and keeping up with the times can we make continuous progress.

In the blink of an eye.

The new year has arrived.

The year 1147 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

The 46th Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order concluded successfully.

The current members of the Twilight Knight Order.

Only the Golden Lion Knight and the Divine Light Knight remained at the Temple.

Dark Moon Knight hone their skills across the Nine Kingdoms Continent, while Blood Knight explore the God Forsaken Land.

The Black Knight and the Mu Di couple were in the Earth Realm.

Hogg, on the other hand, sought a breakthrough opportunity in the Crimson Realm.

Everyone is scattered in different places, and the scenery they see is also different.

Through them, Levi also obtained more intelligence.

Also this month.

The Gaia Kingdom.

The former Ghostly Forbidden Zone.

A figure approached from afar.

She looked ordinary and was wearing a black robe.

Beneath her calm exterior, a hint of madness was revealed.

It was the Tyrannical Lady.

Her eyes were slightly red, filled with murderous intent, as she gazed at the palace ruins reduced to scorched earth.

She whistled.

A slender, dog-shaped corpse puppet appeared.

The ability of the Death Wizards of the Strange Craftsman School is to create powerful corpse puppets.

Those made from humans and humanoid creatures are corpse demons.

The others are all corpse puppets.

The main material for her corpse puppet is called "Soul Herding Hound".

It was something she obtained at great cost during this period of time.

This trip to the Mortal World is all for the sake of avenging my son! These Hell creatures come from the Underworld.

It contains the blood of "Purgatory Three-Headed Hound," one of the legendary gatekeepers of the Underworld.

They can freely travel between the material plane, Hell, and the Underworld.

Bring back to the Underworld those souls that should have entered the Nether Mother River but were lingering outside.

"It's up to you now."

The Tyrannical Lady touched the head of the canine-like corpse puppet.

The corpse puppet drooled as it affectionately rubbed against the Tyrannical Lady's leg.

She wants to use the corpse puppets to find the lost souls of the Soul Reaping Tower members who were killed by the murderer.

Before they entered the Nether Mother River, they were retrieved and made to speak using a secret technique.

This might help us find some clues.

Based on her mother's intuition.

She felt that the murderer who killed Ba'erzan was the Ghost Mistress.

It should be one person, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

It's Levi! If we could restore the truth through the souls of these dead.

She might be able to find Levi's whereabouts and capture him alive.

It was refined into a corpse demon.

A smile spread across her face.

She wanted to mold Levi into the likeness of Ba'erzan.

Make him call his "Mom" every day! The corpse puppet sniffed around, then transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the forbidden zone.

The Tyrannical Lady stood there, motionless, quietly awaiting the outcome.

Seven days later.

In the Wilderness Forbidden Zone.

The corpse puppet cautiously approached the Tyrannical Lady and shook its head.

The Tyrannical Lady's expectant gaze gradually faded.

"Why?" she asked.

The corpse puppet hissed softly, telling the Tyrannical Lady the answer.

"The souls of the deceased did not enter Hell, nor did they pass through the Underworld. They were all intercepted by some being. I can't find out. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm so sorry..."
