The Dharma Body Perches Among a Thousand Trees; Advancement! The Crimson Divine Palace!
Inside the Tower of Levi, the Wizard Tower.
"Are you ready? If you are, let's get going." Elena's voice came from behind.
After closing the Wizard Tower's door and the magic circle, Levi said apologetically:
"Alright, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sir."
He had originally planned to capture the Right Whale in a few days before returning, but since Elena suddenly wanted to visit the Twilight Temple, he simply changed his plans and set off ahead of schedule.
"I don't have time to find a wife for Leviathan again. Maybe next time... next time for sure!" Levi secretly vowed to himself.
Right Whale are not migratory marine animals; their territories are relatively fixed, so they generally can't escape. In the Hundred Eye Demon Domain Realm, there are very few wizards, so they shouldn't be captured.
Overall, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Elena wore a simple leather armor today, thin and form-fitting, which showed off her perfect figure. Her long legs were covered with silver boots, giving her a Wonder Woman vibe.
She carried her greatsword on her back and walked ahead. This was no ordinary greatsword, but a magical weapon forged from level six water Elemental Metal, which could also be used as Knight Sword.
Starry Sea Area, a portal to the Mortal World.
After Levi paid the teleportation fee for the two of them, they returned to the Mortal World.
On a small island in the Outer Sea Land, Elena breathed in the air of the Mortal World and said, "It's been a long time since I've been back. The elemental power of the Mortal World has indeed recovered quite a bit. The Age of Declining Magic is about to pass. For those with talent, this is the best of times... but for most ordinary people, this is the worst of times."
"Neither good nor bad can an individual fight against; only by constantly adapting to all of this can one survive," Levi said.
"That makes sense."
The two chatted as they hurried toward the Ancient Saint Plane.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance.
Before even setting foot on the island, Elena suddenly asked, "Who set up the magic circle on the island?"
Levi thought for a moment and said, "It's me."
With Elena returning to the Temple, her knowledge of magic arrays will surely come out. After taking the oath and joining the Knight, they're family now, so there's no need to hide it anymore.
"Various talents... Not bad, very good. Although I don't understand magic arrays, this array is very ingenious. It consists of seven nested Fourth Ring magic arrays that are interconnected and form a chain reaction. Even if Fifth Ring wizard came, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. In the Mortal World today, it can be described as impregnable." As Primal Soul Wizard, Elena may not study magic arrays, but her eyes are sharp, and she can see the extraordinary nature of this magic array at a glance.
"That's about right. No wonder he's Primal Soul Wizard," Levi said.
"Boss, you're here."
Ur, the Blood Ghost, the Coral Witch, and others who were guarding the gate all stood up.
Suddenly, the Coral Witch's expression changed, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Because the person following the boss was none other than a big shot from the Endless Sea whom she had seen in the newspaper!
Flower Witch Elena! Elena is actually with the boss. So this is the power behind the boss?
"I knew it. How could an ordinary Fourth Ring Wizard be a match for me? If he's a junior of the Flower Witch, then it makes sense. I didn't lose unjustly; I accept it wholeheartedly," the Coral Witch consoled herself.
Levi said, "You all go about your business. I'll show a friend around the organization."
The Coral Witch lowered her head, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, and quickly left the place.
Although she was Black Wizard on the Ominous List, she was still a nobody in front of Elena.
Elena didn't recognize her at all, assuming she was just a guardian of the magic circle that Levi had hired, and didn't pay her any attention.
After passing through the magic circle and entering the Ancient Saint Plane.
Elena looked at the Fourth Ring Magic Array - Four Directions Flame Realm with interest and said with a smile, "You're really quite prudent, installing magic arrays at both ends."
Levi chuckled but didn't say anything.
Immediately afterwards, Elena saw the four Ancient Saint Lizardmen sitting cross-legged in the magic circle. They were trembling and unable to remain calm in the face of the pressure of the Origin Soul.
Elena suppressed all her Origin Soul aura, and only then did these guys calm down a bit.
"Lizardmen roughly equivalent to level four? How do you have such a thing?" Elena asked.
"These are the natives of this small plane. I took them in to guard the entrance. I have about twenty more Lizardmen like them, but unfortunately, they are not able to advance to level five," Levi said.
Elena said, "Interesting. This small plane is not simple. It allows ordinary Lizardmen to break through the shackles of life and evolve to the fourth level. I suspect that this must be the back garden of some powerful person. These Lizardmen may be experimental subjects left behind by him."
The reason it's difficult to advance to level five is likely because this minor plane was created relatively late and is at a very low level. Generally speaking, it's rare for a minor plane to produce a level five entity. As for level six, it's even more impossible. Planes that produce level six are usually medium-sized or larger, while planes that produce level ten or higher are considered large planes. Above large planes, there are super-large planes, such as the Abyss ...
The level of a plane determines the upper limit of the life level of the beings born from it; this phenomenon is called "Plane Shackles".
There are two paths for a plane to be "upgraded".
First, it evolves on its own over time, albeit over extremely long periods, measured in millions or tens of millions of years. Generally speaking, the more beings that reach the Plane Shackles, the faster the dimensional evolution will be.
The fastest way for a plane to evolve is... plane fusion, which is the [Nora Great Plane Celestial Sphere Conjunction Event] that we are about to experience.
In the future, when these planes intersect, this small plane will inevitably be devoured by Nora and become part of Nora. At that time, you Lizardmen will have "Nora Registry"Plane Registry from the beginning, and there will be no more constraints. Breaking through to level five shouldn't be difficult. As for going higher, given the Lizardmen's potential, it might not be something that "plane ascension" can solve.
Levi sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much for your guidance, instruction, and guidance. I am deeply grateful!"
This kind of high-level knowledge was far beyond his reach; to him, it was priceless! Elena looked around and laughed, "But speaking of which, you've really hidden it well. If it weren't for the fact that I joined the Twilight Knight Order, I wouldn't have been able to imagine that you, a mere Fourth Ring Wizard, could possess an entire plane on your own, even if it's a minor one. That's quite remarkable."
Levi said, "Please keep the matter of this plane a secret, Lady Elena. This place will be the cradle of our Knight ' rise and our base camp for dealing with the future upheavals of the Demon Tide."
Elena nodded and said:
"Of course, I have sworn an oath to the truth, and I understand your good intentions. Logically speaking, a small plane so close to Nora should be easy to find when I travel between planes. Could it be that this plane has been deliberately hidden by some powerful being? This is somewhat similar to a plane I visited some time ago... Wait, could this also be Sauron's doing?"
Elena's expression suddenly changed slightly. She looked at Levi and asked, "What is your relationship with Sauron?"
"My lord, you're overthinking it. I have no connection with Sauron. I was just lucky to discover this testing ground left by Sauron. By the way, where is the other place that Lady Elena mentioned?" Levi keenly noticed that Elena seemed to have been to a plane that Sauron had also hidden.
Elena thought for a moment and said, "The place I went to should be a medium-to-high-sized plane, with the potential to develop into a large plane in the future. I can tell you about this place, but you need to keep it a secret. Sauron must have his reasons for hiding these planes. We cannot break this peace. After all, the Wizard Council is now in a mess and is no longer the council that Sauron left behind."
"I understand, we are a family, and a family doesn't lie to another family, let alone do anything to harm its members!" Levi repeatedly emphasized that the Twilight Knight Order were a big family.
Elena nodded and said, "The plane I went to, I call it the Panda Plane. It's an ancient plane, completely different from our Wizard World. Sauron has been there too..."
They chatted as they walked.
Through Elena's words, Levi learned about another wonderful world.
"Qi Sect, Four Symbols, Bearmen, Dao Follows Nature, Unity of Heaven and Man... Primal Chaos Holy Emperor."
He murmured these keywords from the Panda Plane to himself.
He had heard of the Primal Chaos Holy Emperor from Mobius of the Round Table.
One of Sauron's eighteen companions.
In Elena's description, the Qi Sect is a magical path to transcendence. Its founder was infinitely close to the realm of Legendary Wizard, but ultimately failed to take the final step.
Elena suddenly drew her greatsword from her back, and pulled out a gourd of wine from somewhere.
"This is the Spirit Wine I brewed; it can be used to comprehend [Qi]."
Elena took a sip, and then behind her, a faint, overwhelming phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared.
"The Qi Sect inheritance I obtained is the Strong Liquor Qi Sect, which is similar to the fire in the wizard's Earth-Fire Wind-Water, but it is different. The Qi Sect inheritance is not limited to elemental affinity talent. They only have one requirement for the cultivator, which is... heart."
I know this sounds unrealistic and mystifying, but it is true. A person's "heart" can be innate or acquired through an experience or a sudden realization.
In theory, anyone in this world with the will to practice the Qi Sect can do so, regardless of race.
For example, those Bearmen that we find endearing and silly may not be intelligent, but they can return to their true nature and Dao Follows Nature.
To the Strong Liquor Qi Sect, you need a heart as fiery and sincere as liquor itself.
I'll show you a unique skill from the Strong Liquor Qi Sect called "Fire Phoenix Ignites the Plains the Plains," whose power is second only to the sect's ultimate skill, "Vermillion Bird Scorch the Sky."
Ultimate techniques are similar to innate spells; they don't have levels. Their power increases with daily practice and as your cultivation level improves!
Immediately afterwards, Elena stood in the void and slashed out with her sword.
In an instant, an attack with an energy fluctuation comparable to Fourth Ring talent spell was unleashed in Levi's eyes.
That was a sword aura composed of a wildfire phoenix. It seemed to have come to life, and it swept away the clouds in front of it!
"This is the power of the Qi Sect. I have only cultivated to the mid-stage of the [Innate Qi Absorption] realm, which is comparable to Fourth Ring Wizard. Above that, there is the [Shattering the Void] realm. At that time, like the Primal Soul Wizard, the Qi Sect's combat power can shatter the void of many planes and use spatial abilities to travel between planes. Have you sensed your own [heart]?" Elena asked curiously.
Levi looked helpless, shook his head, and said, "It seems I have no heart..."
Elena said, "If you want to learn Qi Sect in the future, I can teach you a little when I'm not busy. You just need to exchange your Knight knowledge with me."
"Alright, but wizards and Knight alone have already exhausted all my energy. I'm only Fourth Ring Wizard with a limited lifespan, so I probably don't have the time to research new paths to transcendence like you do," Levi said.
"That's true. Your top priority should be breaking through to the Origin Soul. I, as a member of the group, have already reached the Origin Soul. How can you, as the group leader, be weaker than me?" Elena joked.
They chatted and laughed.
Levi brought Elena to the Twilight Temple.
On the training grounds below the Temple, a group of muscular Knight with well-developed limbs were honing their combat skills and sparring with each other.
Upon seeing the black-armored Knight in the sky, the Knight all stopped what they were doing and stood up straight.
"Who's that person next to the commander? I feel like I've seen him before."
"It's somewhat like... The Hundred Flower Knight."
"The Hundred Flower Knight? Wasn't she a figure from hundreds of years ago?"
"Are you stupid? Someone like the Hundred Flower Knight, who could become Blood Awakened Knight in the Age of Declining Magic hundreds of years ago, could not possibly not have some wizarding talent. He must have become a wizard."
"That's true."
Soon, the official members, including Divine Light, Golden Lion, Silver Dragon, Dark Moon, Thousand Illusions, also arrived.
"Captain, you've arrived. This... could it be Senior Hundred Flowers?" Dinos was startled. Although he was in a remote Outer Sea Land, the Primal Soul Wizard were famous Endless Sea, especially a prodigy like Hundred Flowers, who was a popular figure in the newspapers. Naturally, he knew her.
"That's right, it's the Hundred Flower Knight," Levi said with a hint of pride.
Immediately afterwards, a series of gasps of astonishment were heard.
"It really is the Hundred Flower Knight! I drink the Hundred Flower Fine Brew at the Shining Tavern every day, and I've finally met him in person."
"She's so beautiful, even more beautiful than in the portrait, I can't recognize her at all!"
"What kind of man could be worthy of a powerhouse like the Hundred Flower Knight?"
Levi coughed and said seriously, "Today, the Hundred Flower Knight joins our Knight order. Everyone welcomes her! Our big family has gained another member!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Welcome, Hundred Flower Knight!"
The muscular men below shouted, their voices deafening.
The Hundred Flower Knight, who spent all her time in the witch organization, had not seen such a scene in a long time. With a smile, she said, "Everyone, go about your business."
After they dispersed, Levi led the official members to his Hall of Ultimate Path.
"Extremity Knight ...Captain, you have quite the ambition," Elena said.
"You're joking, it's just a nicer way of putting it."
He closed the door and said, "These are the most outstanding members of our Temple since its founding."
Even Andrew has broken through to the Blood Awakened Knight realm, with the title "Steel Dragon Knight," and has now begun researching the Level 1 Shield Imprint.
Next, Levi, along with the Hundred Flower Knight, convened an impromptu Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order.
Ashes, the Holy Ape, the Goddess, and the Black Knight, who were far away in the Middle Earth Continent, also participated in the meeting.
A total of thirteen official members gathered together.
The Middle Earth Squad was utterly shocked to learn that the new member their leader had recruited was a Primal Soul Wizard comparable to a level six Knight.
Level 6 is too far away for them, so the fact that the guild leader can bring in a Level 6 expert is truly unfathomable! I just don't know what the guild leader used to impress this top expert.
Next, Levi took Elena on a tour of the Giant Beast Paradise. After seeing the extraordinary creatures that Levi was cultivating specifically for Knight's Secret Medicine, Elena began to re-evaluate this seemingly "muscular" black-armored Knight.
At this moment, Elena felt even more respect for this "weak" and "cautious" captain.
"Sustainable development is a very simple principle, but even a Wizard Civilization like ours cannot achieve it because the Greed of the human heart is endless. No one will sacrifice their immediate gains for long-term benefits that are not yet visible in the future," Elena said.
"That's right. So, this is only easily achieved in a highly centralized, strictly controlled small society," Levi said.
Elena nodded:
"That makes sense. Many laws in the Wizard World are poorly enforced and are practically useless."
Afterwards, they visited the Ancient Dragon Empire, Elena was even more amazed after seeing the Spirit Energy Academy and Ancient Saint Dojo that Levi had built for the Lizardmen.
Meanwhile, at the Twilight Temple, construction began on Elena's exclusive Hundred Flower Hall, right next to the leader's Hall of Ultimate Path, as a sign of respect for the strong!
Elena, being in a high position, could not possibly stay here for an extended period like the other Knight.
The next day.
Before parting, Elena exchanged a lot of Knight knowledge from the Knowledge Temple, such as Bloodline Runes, Talent Imprint, and Bloodline Avatar.
In exchange, the Temple acquired a great deal of knowledge about the Oceanic School of Wizardry, as well as some dimensional knowledge Elena gained from her travels.
"No need to see me off, Knight. We'll meet again at the Round Table Conference from now on," Elena said with a nonchalant smile, then turned and left.
In just one day, Elena, who hadn't had high expectations, found herself quite rewarded in this place. For some reason, she truly felt like she was "coming home," perhaps because of the Knight ' overwhelming enthusiasm, or perhaps because this place stirred up memories of her Mortal World in the mortal realm.
"Goodbye, come home often," said the Divine Light Knight excitedly. The Hundred Flower Knight was her idol! Although the Thousand Illusion Knight had never heard of the Hundred Flower Knight, she was also captivated by her charm and admitted that she was no match for her.
The other male Knight, needless to say, were all distracted, except for the bookworm Andrew, who was lost in thought, pondering his own Talent Imprint.
Watching Elena leave the Ancient Saint Plane, Levi Heart Sense. As he turned to leave, he heard Elena's voice in his mind.
"From now on, just call me the Hundred Flower Knight in the Temple. It's time to reclaim that title. In the way of Knight, you are my teacher, so there's no need to call me 'sir' or 'senior' or anything like that. It makes me sound old!"
Levi was taken aback, then thought to himself, "Okay."
It seems that in the Wizard World, Origin Soul witches don't really like being called seniors, and Ms. Triss is no exception.
"Don't be sad anymore, go back and get on with your own business. Everyone's gone," Levi said with a smile, before returning to the Emperor Palace.
Time flies.
Several more months have passed.
During this time, Levi went to the Realm of Frost, purchased a lot of Frost School spell knowledge, and spent nearly 2 million Great Stone. Now, he only has a little over 2 million left in reserves! If it weren't for the fact that he was about to enter the Dark Ancient Tower, this amount of money would have already fallen below his safety threshold.
It is worth mentioning that the rebels who controlled the Winter Tower within the Frost Realm withdrew their troops very suddenly last month, and all of them, including their leader who was at the eighth-ring level, disappeared.
The council then reassigned an eighth-ring level Frost School Wizard from the Central Realm to oversee the Frost Realm.
Levi speculated that this might be related to the sensational return of the Legendary Realm some time ago.
After learning that the Frost Witch had returned to the Wizard World, those Black Wizard probably wouldn't dare to stay here any longer.
Or rather, in the power struggle among the bigwigs, the backers of the Black Wizard backed down and obediently withdrew before the conflict escalated further.
In any case, peace was restored to the Frost Realm.
The year 1162 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.
At the 61st Round Table Conference of the Twilight Knight Order, Levi met the Hundred Flower Knight again.
Aside from her research on the Nightmare World and the Human-Faced Spider, she hasn't had any urgent matters lately, so she has time to attend the meeting.
Of course, the deeper reason is that after visiting the Twilight Temple in person, the Hundred Flower Knight, although Primal Soul Wizard, began to genuinely acknowledge this insignificant Knight organization.
She was curious about how far the Twilight Temple could go under Li Wei's leadership. This reminded her of the glorious days when Sauron, the ancestor of wizards, led the ancient wizards through hardships, rebelled against the gods, and established the Wizarding Council.
The thirteen official members passionately discussed and envisioned the future of the Temple. With the addition of a big shot like the Hundred Flower Knight, Levi clearly felt that everyone was more hopeful and motivated.
In the past six months, the Hundred Flower Knight has actually cultivated the Bloodline Avatar to the Third Layer and created his own Dharma Body.
It can only be said that her realm is too high, with a commanding perspective, completely different from Levi's initial exploration at a low realm.
To Levi's surprise, the Bloodline Avatar of the Hundred Flower Knight was a creature similar to the Fire Phoenix of his previous life. It dwelled on a giant tree that resembled the World Tree, which was covered in flowers. This giant tree was very similar to the Wizard Manifestation: Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees Hundred Flowers.
The phoenix-like creature resembled the Vermilion Bird, Elephant God from the Strong Liquor Qi Sect's lineage.
The cultivation of the Qi Sect lies in the mind. And the physical form of the Bloodline Avatar is also related to the mind of the practitioner; it seems that the two have something in common.
At Levi's suggestion, the Hundred Flowers Knight gave his Bloodline Avatar a nice name.
"The Phoenix Perches on a Thousand Trees!"
This not only aligns with the characteristics of her Dharma body but also resonates with her shamanistic practices.
Besides Hundred Flowers, many of the official members have also developed their own Bloodline Avatar.
The Black Knight's Bloodline Avatar is a giant "minotaur". He mastered the avatar even earlier than Levi, but due to his wizarding talent, Levi surpassed him. His avatar is named [Black Sky Bull Demon].
The Golden Lion Knight's Bloodline Avatar is a majestic lion with a mane as sharp as a golden Sword One, named the Golden Sword Lion.
The Holy Ape Knight's Bloodline Avatar is an earth-yellow demonic ape that grows stronger with each battle, wielding a giant club, and is known as the "Indestructible Adamantine."
The Goddess Knight is a beautiful giant bird that exudes coldness and is filled with seven-colored aurora, also known as the [Dazzling Light Cold Bird].
It is clear that, apart from Levi and the Hundred Flower Knight, the mental states of the others are basically consistent with their ancestral Breathing Technique.
Levi and the Hundred Flower Knight, perhaps because of their broader perspectives, especially the influence of Levi's two lifetimes, do not rely entirely on Breathing Technique for their mental state.
After the meeting, Levi went to a secret room in the Emperor Palace.
Some time ago, he had already made a small batch of [purification potion].
Although he has mastered the alternative medicinal material for [Saintess Fruit], it is a relatively rare level 5 herb called [Vermillion Pattern Fruit].
This stuff is produced in small quantities and is hard to buy even if you have the money; the purification solution is difficult to mass-produce.
Therefore, it can only purify some small items. It is somewhat difficult to purify the [Golden Xenomorph Insect], but purifying the [Spores] is no problem at all.
After a month of purification, Levi basically confirmed that the spores had no marks and could be used normally.
Based on the book "The Art of Fungus", he has prepared all the necessary culture medium, nutrient solution, various magic arrays and basic equipment for spore development.
He took a small portion of the spores; they were so tiny that they could be seen with the naked eye.
"Let me witness the Art of Fungus, don't disappoint me."
Levi planted the spores in the culture base, closed the gate, and left the Ancient Saint Plane.
The Seven Kings Hell Magic Array.
"Take care, boss!"
The Blood Ghost watched his leader leave. Ever since he had witnessed the powerful Origin Soul witch, he had found hope for the future.
The thought that this was a force with Primal Soul Wizard in charge made him feel that being a security guard here was a very honorable thing!
The Outer Sea Land.
The House of Witches, Mortal World Branch.
"Levi, what do you think? Isn't Lady Elena beautiful?" the Rose Witch asked with a smile.
Levi laughed:
"Of course it's beautiful, but Senior Rose, please don't joke around. I'm here today to inquire about information about the Blood Clan."
The Rose Witch smiled gently, then said seriously, "That Level 4 Blood Clan was once the strongest member of the Sabbat Alliance. To avoid being hunted down, he is hiding in the Peacock Kingdom. If you want to hunt him down, you can go to the Black Forest, the no-man's-land of the kingdom. There, there is a city called Black Wolf City, built by dark creatures, which engages in some illegal blood and flesh trade. The city lord is a Level 5 Werewolf, who is said to have the bloodline of the Calamity Demon Wolf. Even the Church turns a blind eye to it. You'd better not provoke it."
"Understood, thank you, Senior Rose. Has the branch encountered any trouble recently?" Levi asked.
"No, Lady Elena has returned, and many of our enemies who were watching us have withdrawn their eyes."
Levi immediately left the Outer Sea Land; he hadn't been to the Seven Kingdoms Continent for a long time. He only knew that here, with all sorts of strange and powerful figures appearing on the scene, more and more forces were carving up the lands of the original Seven Kingdoms, and the Church was completely overwhelmed.
Among them, the two largest are the Father Empire and the Frost Empire.
His destination, the Black Forest, was a no-man's-land before the resurgence of the Demon Tide. At that time, there were frequent rumors of Evil Spirit or powerful ferocious beasts roaming there.
With the resurgence of the Demon Tide, this place has become a forbidden zone, which was within Levi's expectations.
"That Werewolf in the Black Forest possesses the blood of the Calamity Demon Wolf, and its strength is estimated to be at the level of Fifth Ring veteran, or even Fifth Ring perfect. We must be careful when infiltrating the Black Forest this time."
The Calamity Demon Wolf is a powerful Plane Dominator of multiple planes and the god of all Werewolf. It is said that it once bit and devoured an Astral Realm god.
This Werewolf is clearly the Mortal World representative of this being, a figure similar to a saint in the Church.
Not long after.
Levi then arrived at the Black Forest.
He disguised himself as a bald Black Wizard, wielding a black staff, just like Voldemort.
In this land where Werewolf, Blood Clan, and Black Wizard coexist, his original "glorious and righteous" appearance was easily misunderstood.
He used the Hermit Rune to lower his aura to around level three, so that he wouldn't be bothered by Thug and would avoid being noticed by the Werewolf. With his current mental strength of 341 points, unless the Werewolf deliberately used his mental strength to carefully explore the city, no one would be able to detect anything amiss.
Black Wolf City.
A colossal black city hidden in the Black Forest.
This is City of Chaos, where evil villains from fairy tales hide in seclusion, banding together for warmth.
Outside the city gate, corpses lay strewn along the roadside as an evil Black Wizard slowly approached.
"What exactly is the Holy Radiance Church protecting?" Levi looked at the human corpses scattered all over the ground, speechless.
At the city gate, a level three Werewolf guard was sniffing out the scent of passing travelers.
"Halt? Who goes there? What brings you here?" the Werewolf called out to the bald Black Wizard in front of him.
"Hehehe, I am the Black Mountain Wizard, here to trade in the city. Isn't this the market?" the bald wizard sneered, his arrogance extremely overbearing.
"Black Mountain Wizard? Never heard of him. If you want to go in, bring a treasure as an entrance fee to the city lord," the guard said.
"I have a Second Ring magical artifact here called the [Mist Soul Pearl]. It can attack the soul and spirit. I wonder if this will work? I am a wizard and don't have any other valuables." The bald wizard took out a bead and handed it to the Werewolf.
Seeing that the Black Mountain Wizard was sensible enough to put away his magical artifacts, the guards let the bald wizard in. With the city lord in charge, even the Church wouldn't dare to act recklessly here, let alone a mere wild wizard.
Upon entering the city, Levi's gaze lingered on the various monsters.
Werewolf, Blood Clan, Ghoul, Vampire Harpy, Black Wizard...
In the center of the city stands a towering ancient castle, hundreds of feet high.
Inside lived an Werewolf named Adelait, whom the city's inhabitants generally referred to as the "Demon Wolf Burgomaster."
The Demon Wolf Burgomaster gathered these individual dark creatures together to form Black Wolf City, which then fought against the Church.
On the street, a Werewolf Butcher is selling meat, including ferocious beasts, but mostly people.
On the stall, intestines, ribs, calf meat, thigh meat, breast meat, human penis, human heart, kidneys... were all sorted out in an extremely detailed manner.
Levi remained expressionless. It was truly surreal that such a thing could happen so openly on the Church grounds.
After spending three days in this city filled with bloodshed and terror.
Levi finally managed to find out some clues. Seven days later, the Demon Wolf Burgomaster invited the city's powerful figures to visit the castle, including a Blood Clan expert.
"It should be that level four Blood Clan."
For seven days in a row, Levi wandered around the city, until the seventh day.
Suddenly, streaks of black smoke pierced the sky above Black Wolf City, accompanied by wild laughter.
"Hahaha, Demon Wolf Burgomaster, I, Duke of Blood Lake, have arrived! Why don't you come and greet me?" A wisp of black smoke appeared in mid-air, transforming into a giant with a pig's head and a human body.
Beside the giant, Earl of Sha Lin and other powerful figures also appeared.
"A friend has come from Hell, welcome, welcome!" An old man's laughter echoed from within Black Wolf City.
A hunched, white-haired nobleman appeared atop the castle, leaning on a cane and exuding a powerful aura. Behind him, the faint phantom of a giant black wolf with its upper jaw reaching the sky and its lower jaw supporting the ground could be seen.
"There are too many people and too many eyes outside the castle. Duke, please come with me to the council hall for a detailed discussion," the old nobleman said with a smile, very elegantly.
While these important figures were conversing, Levi was quietly observing from a small tavern run by Werewolf.
"The Duke of Blood Lake seems to be the leader of those Hell demons who caused trouble some time ago. How did these two groups end up together?" Levi pondered to himself.
It's safe to say that what they're discussing is definitely not good, but it's none of his business. Exorcising demons is the Church's duty.
Suddenly, a crimson light streaked across the sky and entered the castle.
"It's that level four Blood Clan."
Levi withdrew his gaze. Things would be easier from here on out. After the Blood Clan finished its meeting, he would follow it, find a secluded place, and take care of it.
Currently, there are two figures in Black Wolf City that he cannot afford to offend: a level 5 Werewolf and a duke from Hell. In particular, the Werewolf is even more powerful Solett in Levi's eyes!
A thought struck Levi, and he returned to his room to release the Mind Flayer Gilmore.
"Gilmore, infiltrate them as your Mind Flayer and see what they're discussing."
"Understood, Master."
Gilmore is Abyss demon, a creature of pure darkness, so he should have no problem infiltrating.
Arriving at a neighborhood, Gilmore revealed his Mind Flayer and brazenly headed towards Wolf's Lair.
"Halt! Do you have an invitation?" a castle guard stopped him.
"Tell your master I am the great Mind Flayer Gilmore, and this mere level three wolf has no right to stop me." Gilmore sneered, and at the same time, his powerful mental energy swept towards the guard.
The guard was so frightened that he stammered and hurriedly went back to report. Not long after, he came out and said with a smile, "Lord Gilmore, please come in."
Inside the castle, in the council chamber.
A giant, long dining table, large enough to seat dozens of people, was set out.
The table was laden with delicacies, culinary masterpieces, human flesh sashimi, raw cured intestines...
The dining table was already filled with dark creatures, all kinds of strange and ugly.
In the very center are the Werewolf and the Duke of Blood Lake.
The Werewolf looked at Gilmore as he entered and said happily, "I never expected that there would be Abyss demons living in my Black Wolf City. Please have a seat."
Abyss demons are synonymous with chaos, and are the beings that the Church hates and fears the most!
The Mind Flayer, in particular, is skilled at stealing souls. If we can win him over, our plans will go much more smoothly.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord," Gilmore said with a smile, sitting down without ceremony, grabbing a large eyeball from some unknown creature, and starting to eat it.
"Everyone, we are all long-time marginalized members of the Holy Radiance Church. We have had enough of being suppressed by the Church every day. I believe you all know the purpose of inviting you here today."
Three years from now, I, the City Lord, the Duke of Blood Lake, and the Daughter of Blue Frost will join forces to attack the Holy Radiance Church's Mount Paradise. This time, we will uproot this mountain of the Church and utterly destroy it! Let the land of the Peacock Kingdom become our Paradise!
Those willing to join me in attacking the Church will receive my rewards and gratitude upon success... As for those unwilling, you already know my plan, and to prevent it from being leaked, Duke of Blood Lake and I have no choice but to kill you."
The Werewolf abruptly changed the subject, suddenly revealing his true form, Werewolf ten feet tall. His face was adorned with five pairs of eerie green eyes, Vajra claws could tear apart any armor and force field! The illusory image of the Calamity Demon Wolf behind him solidified, its gaping maw capable of devouring a world and creating Twilight of the Gods! "Hahaha, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! I, Ferrence, join you!" laughed an elderly Blood Clan of level four.
"I'll join too," Gilmore said, raising his hand.
"Good, good. With the Blood Clan and Mind Flayer joining us, I feel much more at ease." The Werewolf retracted his terrifying true form, reverting to his appearance as a white-haired old man with a kind face, and laughed heartily.
In the end, without exception, all the participants in the banquet agreed! They even swore an oath before the [Wolf God Statue] that the Werewolf had brought out, and it was said that those who broke the oath would be Divine Punishment and killed by the Wolf God.
After the meeting, the Werewolf and the Duke of Blood Lake explained in detail the plan to attack Mount Paradise to these dark warriors, while eerie, grotesque laughter echoed from within the castle.
Then came a night of debauchery, during which the Mind Flayer took the opportunity to indulge in lustful desires with a lewd witch.
The next day.
Until dawn, all the powerful figures left their seats, and Levi looked up at the sky from his residence.
"So they were plotting to attack Mount Paradise... Just as I guessed. I didn't expect these guys to actually join forces. The Holy Radiance Church is probably doomed. The demons, Blue Frost, and the dark creatures each have a level 5 expert. The Werewolf and the Daughter of Blue Frost are even of divine blood, with extraordinary strength. Even with the addition of the Earth Church, they probably won't be able to resist... Should I kick them while they're down?"
Levi pondered to himself, since the Mind Flayer had already successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks, he could use the Mind Flayer's help from within to observe from the sidelines. Once the two sides were evenly matched, he would storm into Mount Paradise, seize the Fan Haixi Family's inheritance, and grab some usable treasures along the way. Just then, the Dark Ancient Tower Dark Ancient Tower open, allowing him to escape directly there – wouldn't that be perfect?
Suddenly, a flock of blood-red bats flew towards a certain direction within the city. These were all Blood Clan, led by a giant bat, undoubtedly a level four Blood Clan powerhouse.
"Never mind, we'll talk about this later. The Scarlet Dragon's advancement is more important." Levi 'Hermit Rune flashed, and he quickly disappeared from Black Wolf City.
Before long, he caught up with the Blood Clan.
The fourth-level Blood Clan named Ferrence, unaware of his impending doom, wore a smug expression. "First, we'll help the Werewolf destroy the Holy Radiance Church, and while we're at it, release the [Nine-Eyed Blood Lord] who was sealed within. Then we'll attack the Church of the Stars and the Dragon God Church to avenge our past grievances. A perfect plan!"
The next moment, the Silver Serpent Rune flickered and vanished in the void, and a bald Black Wizard cackled as a Fire Dragon Tribulation suddenly struck.
Boom! Accompanied by a towering explosion! With the improvement of Levi's mental strength, the power of the Fire Dragon Tribulation is also increasing day by day.
With a single strike, the level four Blood Clan's defenses were shattered, revealing its true Blood Clan: a two-headed, blood-red giant.
With a sword aura slicing through the sky, the head of the blood-red giant was severed.
Levi stretched out his blue arm, freezing the crimson giant for a moment with the power of Frost. Then, he tore apart its flesh and plunged it into its chest... a bright red, still beating heart was pulled out.
"Materials in hand, die, you insect!" Levi's sword energy invaded its mind, utterly destroying it.
Only a powerful Blood Clan corpse lay on the ground, which Levi picked up.
At the same time, a Blood Clan True Spirit escaped, but before it could be accepted by the Blood River, it was sucked into the belly of the Strange Worm Leon, who had been waiting for a long time.
"It tastes awful." Leon pouted, looking aggrieved.
As Levi, the Hermit Rune, departed, a plume of black smoke rapidly flew in from the sky.
"Hehehe, Body Refinement Wizard? What a powerful physique! Such a beautiful body is mine."
From within the black smoke, the Duke of Blood Lake's pig head emerged, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace.
With a casual strike, he forced the invisible Levi to reveal himself.
If this were in Black Wolf City, he wouldn't have made a move out of respect for the Werewolf.
But this is the wilderness, where the Duke of Blood Lake can do whatever he wants!
The physical body of Fourth Ring Body Refinement Wizard is far superior to that of the giant he currently wields.
Since Ghost Mistress's death, the Duke of Blood Lake's deal has been forced to end, and now this bald wizard can be said to be a timely help!
Levi remained calm and composed, taking out the Secret Fire Ball and revealing a smile.
The next moment, as magical Art Power surged in, the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact suddenly expanded, spanning the Firmament! "Gathering Sun Transformation!"
Boom! Accompanied by a deafening explosion of the Fifth Ring spell.
A brilliant red sun rose above the Black Forest! Even the Duke of Blood Lake dared not confront it head-on. If it were his incarnate body from Hell, he wouldn't be afraid, but the problem was that he couldn't unleash his full power in this Mortal World form.
When the explosion subsided, the bald wizard had vanished without a trace, leaving only a laugh echoing between heaven and earth.
"The Duke of Blood Lake, is it? I, Solett, will remember you!"
Duke of Blood Lake's eye twitched. Are Fourth Ring Wizard this powerful these days? You can just run into one with Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact?
As for the name Solett, it is undoubtedly fake. Who would use their real name to make threats these days?
Duke of Sha Lin caught up from behind and asked, "Your Excellency, what's going on?"
The Duke of Blood Lake said arrogantly, "It's nothing. I just fought a Fifth Ring wizard. He was no match for me and ran away."
"The Duke is mighty!" another Earl of Red Fang hurriedly flattered.
Meanwhile, Levi had already used Wind Dragon Swiftness, combined with Scarlet Escape and Thunder Dragon Flash, to leave the Black Forest and return to the Ancient Saint Plane, leaving behind a trail of sparks and lightning.
As for Gilmore, Levi left him in Black Wolf City to continue gathering intelligence.
Emperor Palace.
Looking at the life force that he had burned so much of, Levi had already added the Duke of Blood Lake to his list of vengeful deeds.
"I was hesitant about going to Mount Paradise, but now that's the case, there's nothing to hesitate about. Duke of Blood Lake, just you wait. I may not be able to defeat you in Hell, but in the Mortal World, this is my home ground!"
With his strength, if he were to go all out, the power of the [Six Paths Heavenly God] could actually rival that of the Duke of Blood Lake.
However, they were about to enter the Dark Ancient Tower, and Levi didn't want to cause any more trouble. Besides, there was an Werewolf in Black Wolf City not far away, and it would be a loss if he were alerted as well.
So he used the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact to force back the Duke of Blood Lake, and then quickly withdrew.
In this way, the opponent would not be able to figure out his background at all, since he did not use his signature abilities.
The Secret Fire Ball, a Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact, is a standard design. Even if a wizard from the Combustion Faction came, let alone a Duke of Hell, they wouldn't be able to determine Levi's identity based on the artifact.
This is why Levi rarely uses the Fire Ouroboros now; this magical artifact is not a standard design, and if used too often, it will be easily remembered.
After preparing all the necessary potions for advancing the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique, Levi Wei began his seclusion.
After the Scarlet Dragon advances, he will fulfill his promise and help Leviathan find Right Whale.
Then, before entering the Dark Ancient Tower, there is only one thing that needs to be completed, and that is the research on the sixth talent.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Month of Flowers.
All things are reviving, a time for reproduction.
Giant Beast Paradise.
Laja and Night Fang, the two pterosaurs, were very affectionate. Laja would sing and dance in the sky all day long, making those courtship sounds.
Melina said that the two pterosaurs have a chance to get together, but it is unknown whether they can successfully mate and produce offspring.
Meanwhile, other extraordinary creatures in the Paradise, some of whom had entered their mating season, also began creating life.
Twilight Temple.
The Hundred Flower Hall has been completed and rises from the ground next to the solemn and majestic Hall of Ultimate Path.
In the Ancient Dragon Empire, another Ancient Saint saint has been born, bringing the number of Council of Elders to twenty-eight.
Emperor Palace.
Within Levi's body, the magical potions used for "blood refinement" had been completely absorbed by his powerful physique.
The Scarlet Dragon Seed has undergone another transformation, its body becoming more streamlined, like a red shuttle, with a pair of strong, powerful, blood-red claws supporting it on the ground.
After the Crimson Emperor Divine Palace, the Golden Serpent Divine Palace, and the Sky Divine Palace, a blood-red palace stands within Levi's body, inscribed with the words "Scarlet"! The Scarlet Dragon stands atop the palace, in a world of crimson, like a proud and aloof king.
The other three dragons also let out their roars within the palace, seemingly offering their congratulations.
Without any hindrance, the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique was successfully advanced, reaching the Blood Source Three Transformations.
