Eight Thousand Miles of Battle, Scarlet Dragon Claws Shatter the Void!

The year 1225 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowers.

South of Ai Ou, the Million Great Mountains.

Within the fairy realm.

The Amethyst Clan who was bound by the Scarlet Dragon You Er.

You Er knelt before Levi and recounted all the information he possessed.

After listening, Levi's expression turned solemn.

According to intelligence, the number of the Amethyst Clan who remained on the Fifth Layer at the beginning, added up one by one, was only a little over a hundred.

Now, sixty years later, apart from those killed by wizards and Empire Mage, there are fewer than forty left.

And among these forty Amethyst Clan, there were almost none who were weak.

Including those who advanced within the Ancient Tower, the Amethyst Holy Land has thirty-six Level 5 Amethyst Clan. They call themselves the "Amethyst Thirty-Six Heavenly Kings".

The one killed by Levi was also one of them.

In the Million Great Mountains region surrounding the Amethyst Holy Land, many mines have been depleted.

Although they are mostly low-grade ores, it is still a loss for Ancient Tower.

After all, minerals take an extremely long time to regenerate, unlike herbs which can spring up again with the spring breeze.

Of course, if you change your perspective, this is also a good thing.

Through these Amethyst Clan, all the low-grade ores were integrated and transformed into the highest-grade amethyst among level-five materials.

All the wizards need to do is hunt down all these Amethyst Clan; these are rare materials that don't need to be smelted or purified, and can be used directly for crafting weapons.

Currently, a Level 6 Amethyst Clan is stationed within the Amethyst Holy Land.

His name is: "General Liu Ka".

In the Amethyst Empire, only those at level six or above can be called "General".

General Liu Ka had recently advanced to level six in the Amethyst Holy Land.

Prior to this, the Amethyst Holy Land had no Level 6 leaders; its strongest members were only a group of Level 5 peak members.

In fact, the mission of these Amethyst Clan left on the Fifth Layer was not to collect resources.

Their only mission is to keep eating and getting stronger.

Then, before the Ancient Tower closes, they will launch a frenzied, suicidal revenge against the former invaders, the wizards! They will kill as many as possible, making the Wizard Civilization pay a price.

"It's a pity. If it were before Liuka reached level six, the Nine Cities Alliance could have easily destroyed the Amethyst Holy Land with some effort... After all, they have a level six leader there, and they also have a war treasure like the [Skyfire Fortress]. Now it's hard to say. Even with Luo Man's strength, he might not be a match for Liuka, who has just been promoted to general. I'll have to be careful with my next operation to hunt down the Amethyst Clan."

The fairyland has opened.

Levi released You Er, gave him some instructions, and sent him back.

He needed You Er to infiltrate the Amethyst Clan to gather intelligence and make it easier for him to take action.

"As for the Amethyst Clan, we just need to act according to the situation. While ensuring our safety, we should hunt down as many Amethyst Clan as possible to take back... But where did the Golden Absolute Clan go?"

The Flying Weasel roamed throughout Ai Ou also failed to find any trace of the Black Stone Great Hall.

The days that followed.

Levi wandered through the Million Great Mountains, searching for resources while simultaneously working on mastering the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique.

He has a comprehensive plan that needs to be implemented after the Scarlet Dragon advances.

Time flies like an arrow, and half a year has passed in a flash.

The year 1226 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

Dark Ancient Tower Calendar 61.

Levi is 236 years old.

Within the fairy realm.

Before Levi convened the 126th Round Table Conference.

Mana floated down from the banyan tree, landing in front of Levi like a fairy descending to earth.

She smiled faintly and said:

"These are the three incomplete Truth Wonder. I have already absorbed the power of the divine tree within them... Thank you for your kindness. I feel that the power of the divine tree's origin within me seems to have increased, which is a good thing for my growth."

Levi laughed:

"Senior, you don't need to be so polite. We're just getting what we need. You've helped me a lot too... Besides, we're family, hehe."

Mana paused for a moment, then smiled:

"A family? Yes, Deucis. You and I are now in a position of shared destiny. Please take care of me in the future."

Levi put away the three Golden Leaf, muttering to himself.

"Refining these rare items is like opening a blind box, it's really exciting."

He specifically chose a majestic mountain in the fairyland that he could climb to the very top.

They set up Tea Party Round Table here to hold a meeting, essentially a "summit".

As the mountain breeze blew, the Twilight Eighteen Knights.

In the end, all eighteen members were present.

Levi looked around and saw that everyone looked energetic and in good spirits after a year apart.

His gaze fell on Mu Di, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and say:

"The Holy Ape Knight has advanced to level four! Congratulations!"

Mu Di bowed slightly and said with a hint of excitement:

"I was promoted half a year ago. This promotion was also thanks to the help of the Black Knight and the Ash Knight. Together we obtained the Bloodline Essence of a level four Violent Golden Ape. With the help of the Giant Beast Paradise, the Violent Golden Ape has been tamed and is now one of the guardians of our Middle Earth Squad."

The Black Knight laughed and said, "No need to be polite. Our Middle Earth Squad is different from the past. In this southern borderland of the Middle Earth Continent, we are a force that can influence a region."

Middle Earth Squad.

On the surface, it is a mid-level wizard organization that focuses on body refinement, with the Goddess Knight, a Third-Ring Wizard, as its tower leader, and many Formal Wizard members. In reality, however, it is a Knight organization.

Using a wizarding organization as a front makes it easier to blend into the Wizard World.

Mu Di said:

"My Bloodline Avatar is called the [Northern Fall Giant Ape]. After six months of research and development, I currently know of two functions: First, my avatar, the Giant Ape, is much larger than the avatars of the Black Knight and others. When fully unleashed, it is as tall as a ten-story building. The power of a single punch can tear apart the Protective Force Field of an ordinary Fourth Ring wizard. After unleashing the avatar, my body will also enter a [Gigantification] state, where my power will be fully unleashed."

Secondly, after I cast my Dharma Form, it seems to be able to interfere with the surrounding gravity to some extent, which I call the "Gravity Domain". Currently, it can only affect some low-level wizards and needs further development.

As for the defensive function of the Dharma Body, there's no need to elaborate.

Upon hearing this, Levi murmured:

"Affecting gravity... that's a pretty good ability. If developed properly, it could be surprisingly effective on the battlefield."

Mu Di said, "That's what I think too."

Besides Mu Di, the Golden Lion Knight and the Goddess Knight are also at the peak of level three, not far from level four.

Because both of them had good wizarding talents, they never gave up on the path of dual cultivation.

Unlike Mu Di, who, after training the wizard to the Second Ring, began to let him roam freely.

According to him, once Knight reaches level five, he will be a powerful figure in the Wizard World, not counting his Origin Soul.

Back then, it wasn't difficult to acquire potions and resources using level 5 strength and then level up a wizard to the Third Ring.

Of course, he is only at the fourth level now.

After reaching level four, cultivation becomes even more difficult. Even if he only cultivates one technique, the "Holy Ape Breathing Technique," and a combat skill, reaching level five is still a long way off.

At the meeting.

Levi also learned that the Mortal World was becoming increasingly turbulent.

As agents of the gods, almost all the saints are at level six, relying on the power of the gods.

Unfortunately, even with this unprecedented Celestial Sphere Convergence, life was still difficult for the Saints beyond Level Six.

The Black Dragon Empire, God Forsaken Continent, had launched numerous wars against the Seven Gods, leaving the Church exhausted. In response, the wizards of the Warp chose to observe. To the Wizard Council, the Black Dragon Empire was nothing more than a clown. If they so desired, they could easily send a Great Wizard to deliver a crushing blow.

The council can watch from the sidelines, thus avoiding violating the ancient Covenant of the Gods Sauron and the gods, while also seeing the gods' lackeys suffer a setback—a win-win situation.

What the council is truly worried about is the arrival of powerful alien beings in Nora as the Plane Convergence.

For example, the Blood River Will, Plane Dominator comparable to the gods, is about to descend.

In summary, although the Wizard Civilization lost one Deep Blue Sage, it still has eleven Legendary Realm.

Looking across the Sauron Pan-Dimension, it remains an unshakeable force.

The meeting was drawing to a close.

Andrew asked, "Commander, you and the Hundred Flower Knight should be back soon, right?"

Levi nodded and solemnly said, "Within ten years, I will be able to return to the Mortal World. Everyone, cultivate diligently; I need you to become strong as soon as possible. In the coming era of upheaval, you can help the Knight expand their territory and become my right-hand men!"

The Knight all said in unison, "We await the return of our commander!"

After the meeting.

Everyone dispersed.

The Hundred Flower Knight didn't leave immediately. She smiled sweetly and asked:

"Commander, it seems you've gained a lot on the Fifth Layer... Now you've not only stepped into the Fifth Ring, but judging from your momentum, you're not far from the perfection of the Fifth Ring."

Levi said, "It's alright. I've been lucky and found some Truth Wonder. Plus, my talent is decent... so the progress is much better than I expected. Hundred Flowers, how are you doing?"

Hundred Flowers pursed her lips and said quietly:

"Compared to the progress of the team leader, my progress from ordinary to Sixth Ring level in the Sixth Ring is nothing to mention."

Levi smiled wryly and said, "Don't joke around. Everyone knows how difficult it is to break through after the Sixth Ring. My breakthrough is nothing compared to that."

Beyond the Sixth Ring will be a whole new world.

Even top geniuses will find it difficult to move forward after reaching the Origin Soul.

Fifth Ring wizards have a lifespan of a thousand years, so why are so many geniuses eager to advance their Origin Soul instead of daring to waste time researching original talents?

Another reason is to allow enough time for the cultivation of the Origin Soul afterward.

Otherwise, even if it takes a thousand Origin Soul to be fully developed, only a thousand years of lifespan will remain afterward.

In this situation, unless there is a major opportunity later, it will be very difficult to break through to the seventh or eighth ring.

thus.

Some wizards who are relatively confident in their Origin Soul will make choices even if they do not have all nine talents at their peak.

To obtain the Origin Soul Origin Soul earlier, they sacrificed the slight difference in combat power that came with it.

The two academic geniuses, Hundred Flower Knight and Levi, discussed cultivation issues with each other for a long time.

Their conversation had a sense of mutual humility, like that of top students from Levi's previous life.

If others heard this, they would definitely curse this despicable couple in Versailles.

Next.

Levi traveled and practiced as he went through the Million Great Mountains, and gained a lot from it.

He also collected a considerable amount of herbs, ores, and extraordinary creatures. He moved them all into the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm to enrich its ecosystem.

The incomplete and strange object was also completely refined, and the final harvest was quite good.

The three incomplete and strange objects raised Levi's mental strength limit to 1191 points, which is 429 points away from 1620.

Although there is still a considerable gap, Levi has already seen the dawn of victory.

also.

Of the three strange items, one of them slightly increased Levi's spiritual power.

In addition to his cultivation during this period, his mental strength level has reached the level of the Fifth Ring perfection, reaching 911 points.

From this moment on, Levi has overtaken those top geniuses and left them far behind! These strange objects...

Taking it once brings temporary pleasure, and taking it continuously brings lasting pleasure.

This kind of spiritual power, which is obtained without effort, made Levi somewhat apprehensive.

He began to pay more attention to cultivating his mind and will, fearing that his mind would not keep up with his progress in cultivation.

Two of the three wondrous items are fire-based, and one is water-based.

Some optimized the talent spell structure, while others enhanced the spell power of their respective factions.

Regardless, this has increased the power of Levi's [Water Dragon's Chant] and [Fire Dragon Tribulation].

As for rare special talents and companion spirits, they don't exist.

Levi speculated.

Such a flawed and strange object would hardly possess either of the above two functions.

After acquiring the Sword of Victory, Levi's need for Golden Leaf increased.

Once his mental strength reaches 1620, he will begin to try feeding the Sword of Victory with incomplete artifacts.

Let's see if we can speed up the spawning process of the [Dust Citizen Sword].

Therefore, finding the Golden Absolute Clan has become his top priority.

As for the Limit Soul, since leaving the West Sea, only one has been condensed, for a total of 13.

It seems that the difficulty level starts to increase from the 12th question onwards.

Levi couldn't do anything about it; he had already done his best.

Once you've pushed your mental strength to its limit, you can start training slowly.

The Month of the Furnace.

From the Holy Infant, Levi learned that Mia, who was on a long journey, had acquired three more Golden Leaf.

Including the one in the Holy Infant's possession, Levi now has five more incomplete and wondrous items.

Although Mia's aptitude for cultivation wasn't particularly high, Levi was very satisfied with her work skills.

This day.

After Levi finished performing the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique, he opened the panel.

Levi ——————

Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique: Level 16 (Limit, can be advanced/evolved)...

Seeing this, Levi smiled with satisfaction.

"Finally, I can advance. After this advancement, I will have one more Scarlet Dragon Contract slot... My plan will be easier to implement."

He inserted the Scarlet Dragon Secret Medicine, which he had prepared beforehand, into his body and began his refining journey.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the year 1227 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Wheat Fields.

This marks the 62nd year since the Dark Ancient Tower opened.

Levi was constantly racing against time, and even during his seclusion, he didn't forget to keep an eye on news from the Mind Flayer and the Ice Phoenix.

Relying on these moles, he could obtain a lot of information even though he was not directly involved.

For example, he learned about it from the Mind Flayer.

According to the Azure Demon King, one of the twelve Dharma Kings of the Empire is named the Blood Feast Law King.

He practices Blood Magic, a relatively rare art even in the Wizard World.

Blood magic was once popular in ancient times.

However, because of the Meditation Technique of this sect, it is generally necessary to absorb blood for cultivation, just like Blood Clan, or to refine blood potions.

The higher the level of the person being absorbed, the faster their meditation and cultivation will be.

Because of the rapid progress and the mixed nature of the blood they absorbed, the wizards' mental state couldn't keep up with their cultivation. Many of them went mad and fell into the demonic path, wreaking havoc in the Wizard World. They were practically born Black Wizard factions.

If we were to draw an analogy, it would be roughly equivalent to the "Blood Demon Sect" or similar sects in fantasy novels from my previous life.

Therefore, the Blood Faction was suppressed by the Council, and most of the Blood Faction's Meditation Technique and spells were listed as "forbidden methods".

Nowadays, Blood Faction wizards are very rare.

Even if they exist, they usually keep to themselves and mingle among Black Wizard.

Unexpectedly, a Dharma King was born in this Ancient Tower from the Blood Faction.

Of course, Levi had no interest in the Blood Faction.

He was only interested in one of the pets kept by the Blood Feast Law King.

The pet's name is:

Death Blood Worm Kratesh.

Although named Bloodworm, Kratos Hugh is a true Dragonkind.

Moreover, it is Dragon Spawn, scientifically known as the "Vampire Dragon" in the Wizard World.

As its name suggests, the Vampire Dragon must live by drinking blood, just like Blood Ghost.

However, the Vampire Dragon is indeed a dragon Dragonkind based on dark energy, not Blood Clan.

It's just that the recipe is similar to that of the Blood Clan. It has absolutely no connection to the Blood River Will.

Levi was quite interested in this.

Of his six current Breathing Technique, Golden Snake, Red Emperor Dragon, Sky Dragon, Death Ember Dragon, and Nightmare Dragon all contain Dragon Spawn as ingredients for their Secret Medicine.

Only the Scarlet Dragon is missing.

So, after receiving this news, he was thinking about how to deal with the Vampire Dragon after he advanced in rank.

If he could also bring it out of the Ancient Tower, Levi's trip to the ancient Ancient Tower would be a complete success!

For him, the importance of the Vampire Dragon even surpassed that of the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant.

After all, this is related to the subsequent practice of Breathing Technique, so it is of utmost importance.

In the Wizard World, where class stratification is rigid and resources are firmly controlled by families, finding this item is extremely difficult.

Of course, the Vampire Dragon is the beloved pet of the Blood Feast Law King, and obtaining it is by no means easy; it requires careful planning.

The Month of Harvest.

The place where Levi secluded himself.

A giant, blood-red egg stands in the cave, crystal clear.

inside the egg.

Levi's face was closed, as if he were asleep.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

An aura erupted, shattering the giant egg and turning it into blood energy, which then flowed back into Levi's body.

"Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique, Seventeenth-Order."

Levi was overjoyed.

As Levi progressed through more Breathing Technique, his body did not grow taller under normal circumstances; instead, he remained no different from an ordinary person, giving him a sense of returning to simplicity.

Moreover, he no longer needs to manifest Dragonkind characteristics when using his various extraordinary abilities, unless he activates his true form or a special form.

Levi's eyes were sharp and piercing.

The purple Purple Light Sword Purple Light Sword flashed by rapidly, his gaze fixed on it, muttering to himself:

"The Level 5 Scarlet Dragon has actually improved my dynamic vision a lot, making it easier to control the movements of enemies moving at high speeds. This is an unexpected bonus."

Levi flashed away.

With a bang, a shockwave exploded, sweeping across the surroundings! He transformed into a streak of Blood Light and easily vanished into the Scarlet Darkside.

Before long, they were already ten miles away.

"My speed is faster... and it's much harder to be interrupted when entering the Scarlet Darkside. My escape speed in the Dark Side is also much faster than before level five."

Even without using the Void Travel ability, relying solely on the Scarlet Dragon Power, those below the Sixth Ring who can keep up with my speed are extremely rare, if not nonexistent! Most importantly, the Void Travel ability has a very long cooldown time, so it can't be used for travel; it can only be used as a trump card in combat.

My Scarlet Darkside, on the other hand, is a lifesaver for getting around, saving a lot of time wasted on the road.

Immediately afterwards.

Levi snapped his fingers.

His body.

The Scarlet Divine Palace shone brightly, Scarlet Dragon danced with its wings, its blood energy soaring to the heavens.

The next moment, a blood-red temple appeared out of nowhere.

Levi was inside the divine palace when he had a thought.

The Scarlet Divine Palace shone brightly, and sparks flew from the walls around it.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by the roar of the Scarlet Dragon.

The Scarlet Divine Palace shattered the surrounding void and vanished with Levi.

Not long after.

In a certain place in the Million Great Mountains.

Blood-red light filled the sky, and cracks could be faintly seen spreading.

Rumble! From behind the crack.

The divine palace descended in a magnificent display, Breaking Void, hovering atop the mountain, and then slowly dissipating.

"I wonder how far they were teleported to..."

Levi looked around, spent some time, and then turned back.

Back in his secluded retreat, his face was filled with shock, his breathing rapid, and he muttered to himself:

"This divine palace actually traversed two thousand miles in one breath..."

So far.

The farthest Levi could teleport was with the [Pegasus Star Soul], covering three thousand miles in a single breath.

This [Scarlet Divine Palace] can travel two thousand miles in one breath.

Then the Ouroboros Ring traveled a thousand miles in one breath.

With the addition of his own Void Power, a ten-pull can cover a thousand miles.

The Golden Light Mirror and the Black Sun Compass, when used together, could cut through an area of about a thousand miles.

Levi did the math and was completely dumbfounded.

In theory, a complete combo attack...

He can strike from 8,000 miles away.

This is so ridiculous, even Sixth Ring wizard would be dumbfounded.

"Eight thousand li! What does that mean? In my previous life, the radius of the Earth was only about twelve thousand li... In the time it takes to drink a cup of instant coffee, I could travel from Guangdong to Mohe."

In his previous life, Levi would definitely be considered a god or immortal, a living Buddha! After calming himself down, he conjured up the Blood Source True Armor belonging to the Scarlet Dragon with a thought.

The Scarlet Dragon Power within him, like viscous blood, seeped from the surface of his skin and then solidified into a three-meter-tall crimson armor.

The armor was dark red all over, as if it were carved from blood crystal, and it shone with a beautiful luster.

Its shape is perfectly streamlined, and its wings on the back are like mist, gathering and dispersing uncertainly.

The crimson dragon claws emitted a ghostly light, as if they could tear everything apart.

The most terrifying thing is the tail of the Crimson Armor, which is like a scorpion's tail and has a ferocious hook.

"Bring it on!"

With Levi's command.

The crimson armor instantly transformed into a streak of Blood Light, its speed astonishing.

At the same time, the Twin Dragons of the crimson armor suddenly crossed and slashed out, as if tearing through the void! A void Cross Slash, sparking with sparks, shot out!

Wherever the Cross Slash passed, the void cracked open, and everything in its path was cut, shattered, and sucked into the void turbulence! The crimson armor stood in the void, and Levi was inside, his face filled with excitement.

"This true armor can actually use the power of the void to launch attacks... This is something that only Origin Soul can do, and it is a more advanced way of using the power of the void."

Levi was at a loss for words. He could only say that the Scarlet Dragon was awesome, truly worthy of being called the Speed Dragon! If such a move could hit Fifth Ring Perfected Dragon, it could easily tear the dragon apart.

"With my ability to teleport, stealth, and the Purple Light Sword, I am both a sword immortal who can kill from a thousand miles away without a trace, and an assassin who roams the void and can kill with a single sword strike."

In the mountains and forests.

A blood-red phantom flickered continuously, cleaving through the Breaking Void silently and triggering thunder! Only when the void power within Levi's body was completely exhausted did he feel unsatisfied.

After testing, the Blood-Red True Nails have three main functions: First, they enhance speed, reaction ability, and dynamic vision.

Secondly, relying on its dragon claws, it can unleash void power to launch attacks that are impossible to defend against. Levi calls this the "Void Blade"! Thirdly, it can use the scorpion-like stinger at its tail to inject enemies with a terrifying toxin derived from the Scarlet Dragon Power.

After finishing his practice, Levi lay on the ground and opened the Proficiency Panel.

Levi ——————

Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique: Seventeenth-Order (1/2 million), Special Effects: Scarlet Poison Body (Level 5), Scarlet Contract (5/6), Hundred Faces, Thousand Forms, Blood Boiling, Scarlet Escape; Bloodline Avatar: Scarlet Dominator; Blood Source True Armor: Scarlet Dragon Armor; Exclusive Weapon: Scarlet Shadow (Level 5) "Now that there is another slot available for the Scarlet Dragon, it is time to proceed with the next step."

The next day.

Levi destroyed the Sanctuary and left the place.

The Month of the Freezing Winter.

Million Great Mountains.

For the past year or so, Mia, under the Mai Li Ya the witch, has been collecting Golden Leaf for the Holy Infant in many wizarding communities in Ai Ou.

However, in the battle in the East Sea, only a few dozen Golden Leaf were thrown out, and most of them were taken by people from top organizations.

Therefore, she has collected three so far.

A few days ago, she arranged to meet a rogue sorceress here for a transaction.

After completing this mission, she can return to the Sea of Stars; she has done her best.

Today she was dressed in a bright and daring outfit, her fair shoulders bare, revealing her beautiful collarbone.

The person she was trading with was also a witch, but she looked old and lifeless, nearing the end of her life, and her cultivation level was that of a senior Fifth Ring cultivator.

Her name is Gu Li La, and she claims to be a rogue cultivator of the Earth School, living in seclusion in the Million Great Mountains to practice her cultivation.

Mia asked politely:

"Your Excellency Gu Li La, I've arrived. Where are your Golden Leaf?"

Gu Li La said:

"I don't have any Golden Leaf ... but my friends do. They've already arrived. Why don't you say hello to them, Miss Mai Li Ya?"

She clapped her hands.

"Guys, come out."

In the mountains and forests.

Beams of light shot into the sky, clearly indicating some kind of magic array.

at the same time.

Three figures radiating the aura of the Fifth Ring descended from the sky, surrounding Mia along with Gu Li La.

Mia's expression changed.

A crimson ring appeared on her slender forearm and struck the magic circle.

This is her Fifth Ring exquisite magical artifact, upgraded from the previous [Phoenix Ring], which was personally crafted by the master for her self-defense.

A clear, resonant phoenix cry, capable of piercing clouds and splitting rocks, echoed from within the Phoenix Ring.

A fiery red phantom bird slammed into the magic circle.

Rumble.

Flames soared into the sky, shockwaves swept across, and the magic array trembled.

Although the Phoenix Ring is powerful, it is clear that it cannot break through this well-prepared magic array in a short time.

Gu Li La said, "I never expected that someone with only a common Fifth Ring cultivation level would possess such an exquisite witch artifact. She must have obtained it by seducing some old men. She's truly a disgrace to us witches..."

Give up. With your cultivation level, how could you possibly break the formation I set up? Even if you did break the formation, could you defeat the four of us?

If you obediently tell us the secret of the Golden Leaf, you can live.

An old, black-haired wizard, nearing the end of his life, chuckled:

"That's right. Judging from your appearance, you don't frequent the Million Great Mountains area often, otherwise you should have heard of our name, the Four Old Ones of the Mountain."

Another short, red-haired old man said:

"Miss Mai Li Ya, you must have mastered some kind of refining method to collect these Golden Leaf, right? If you have such a secret method, why keep it to yourself? Share it with everyone; it's good for everyone."

The last bald old man said impatiently:

"Hand it over quickly, or we three brothers won't show any mercy to Fifth Ring cultivation level like you, a flamboyant and seductive witch. Hehehe."

The Four Old Ones of the Mountain.

This group was formed temporarily by four Black Wizard who roamed the Million Great Mountains region and found common ground.

The average age of the four of them is eight hundred years old.

Even the weakest of the black-haired elders has been at the Fifth Ring ordinary level for nearly a hundred years.

Gu Li La and another red-haired old man were both senior cultivators at the Fifth Ring level.

This is a group of sunset- Black Wizard.

They generally have average talent and barely managed to advance to the Fifth Ring through sheer luck. Now that their time is up, it's impossible for them to reach the Origin Soul in this lifetime, and even reaching the Fifth Ring perfection is almost hopeless.

Mia learned that the wizard Gu Li La had Golden Leaf, so she came to trade with her.

Little did they expect that they would fall into the trap of the Black Wizard.

After thinking for a moment, Mia said, "Everyone, to be honest, I really don't know how to refine these Golden Leaf. I collected them for someone else... If you dare to touch me, the big shot behind me will come after you."

Gu Li La sneered upon hearing this, "Anyway, you won't be leaving today unless you hand over the method of using the Golden Leaf... The Four Old Ones of the Mountain, working together, are more than capable of protecting ourselves even against Fifth Ring wizard. Is your big shot perhaps Sixth Ring wizard? Hahaha!"

The other three also scoffed:

"Even if they are truly important figures, would they care about your life?"

Rumble.

All four control spells were directed at Mia.

Mia erected Protective Force Field and tried to dodge, but the Phoenix Ring shone brightly, attempting to break through the blockade, all to no avail.

How could one person possibly be a match for four? Moreover, their cultivation levels were all higher than his.

However, the Four Old Ones of the Mountain would not kill Mia before obtaining the secret they wanted.

They bound Mia tightly, set up restrictions, removed the magical artifacts from her body, and opened her spatial ring, discovering that it contained over a million Great Stone.

Gu Li La was overjoyed. "A mere ordinary wizard of the Fifth Ring actually has so many Great Stone. It seems that the person behind you is very rich."

Mia was bound and watched as the money the adults had given her for shopping was stolen. She calmed down and thought about how to escape.

Suddenly, Gu Li La found a token on Mia's body; it was the Gray Robe Hall Token.

"Are you from the White-Robed Wizard Society?"

Mia said, "That's right."

The Four Old Ones of the Mountain seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

They actually have another identity: the black glove of Beske, a Fifth Ring perfect team leader of the Nine Cities Alliance.

The feud between the White-Robed Wizard Society and the Nine Cities Alliance within the Ancient Tower is common knowledge.

Gu Li La transmitted her voice to the red-haired old man, saying, "It seems that someone in the White-Robed Wizard Society must have mastered the method of refining and using Golden Leaf... Otherwise, why would they collect them? I remember that Lord Beske also collected quite a few Golden Leaf. Why don't we report this matter to him?"

The red-haired old man said:

"I think that's a good idea. The person behind Mai Li Ya is probably one of the five elders of the White-Robed Wizard Society. With the strength of the four of us, we're probably not enough to fight against him. Why don't we secretly summon Lord Beske, and then have Mai Li Ya contact the person behind him and make a deal with him... We can promise that as long as he hands over the method to refine the Golden Leaf, we'll release him. When he comes here to make the deal, have Lord Beske lead the team to capture him alive."

"That's right. We're just employees. There's no need to put ourselves at risk. Better safe than sorry. Judging from this woman's wealth and the witchcraft she possesses, the person behind her is indeed not simple."

"Then it's settled."

After the Four Old Ones of the Mountain finished their discussion, they sent Gu Li La to say, "Miss Mai Li Ya, if you want to live, contact the person behind you. We need to make a deal with him."

Mia asked:

"Go ahead and tell me."

Gu Li La said:

"As long as the person behind you tells us how to refine the Golden Leaf, we will release the person, and we guarantee that we will not pass it on to anyone else."

Mia for a moment and said:

"I need to ask that person what they think; whether they come or not is not up to me."

Gu Li La said:

"Fine, if you don't come, then when the deadline is up, you can go and die."

Mia remained silent, somewhat saddened.

Given Ace's personality, he certainly wouldn't hand over the so-called "refining method" for his own sake.

Although he seemed to be kind, gentle, and humble to everyone.

But Mia could sense it.

Deep down, he was a very cold person, like a robot forging and cultivating weapons, devoid of emotion and detached from the mundane world.

"Logically, I shouldn't have contacted the master, as it might put him in danger. But I can't let these people fall into the hands of the three Golden Leaf I finally obtained... With the master's strength, he should be able to deal with these four old guys."

In the midst of rambling thoughts.

Under duress from these people, Mia sent a message to Ace.

Fire Dragon Island.

The Holy Infant is Talisman Making.

Stacks of failed Talisman Making hides were all turned into waste.

Of course, these waste materials can also be collected and used to feed A Long.

"The art of Talisman Making, reaching the Fifth Order, is not easy..."

These years.

Besides the Fire Dragon Tribulation Divine Talisman, Ace also created some other talismans such as Water Dragon's Chant Earth Dragon Barrier, and Thunder Dragon Flash.

Finally, he discovered the Divine Talisman Way.

Only offensive runes can stack to create a qualitative change in power. And the most effective are the runes of the Combustion Faction.

Other divine runes are all conventional and cannot be stacked.

Therefore, the Holy Infant proceeded directly with the Fire Dragon Tribulation Calamity. The crafting of other divine talismans was primarily for gaining experience points.

Suddenly, the communication device rang. Ace glanced at it and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The Four Old Ones of the Mountain, interesting. They dare to steal my things. I've really seen it all in my life."

He flicked his sleeve and stood up.

Then they left the Sea of Stars and flew towards the Million Great Mountains.

One month later.

The Holy Infant has arrived at where Mia is.

From afar, he saw Mia bound hand and foot, looking rather pitiful.

When Mia saw the Holy Infant arrive, her face was full of apology, and she said in a low voice, "My lord, it's all my fault for being incompetent..."

Gu Li La gazed at the Holy Infant and felt its Fifth Ring spiritual power, which shook her to her core.

She calmed down and said:

"At such a young age, you have already achieved the Fifth Ring. You are truly a man of exceptional talent."

The Holy Infant said, "Release her. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

Gu Li La said:

"You'd better not try any tricks. We've already placed a spell on this woman's body. With just a thought, we can kill her."

Mia remained silent.

She obeyed all the adults' decisions unconditionally and never complained.

Regardless, she was already very touched that the adults came.

Although he was most likely after the Golden Leaf...

The Holy Infant said, "You are too weak and unworthy to speak with me. Just let the people behind you come out."

Gu Li La's expression changed.

It seems this person has already sensed that Beske and the others are hiding nearby.

The Holy Infant had barely finished speaking.

Wearing Flame Pattern Wizard Robe, Beske's expression turned cold as he withdrew his concealment spell and emerged.

He was also guarded by two senior wizards from the Fifth Ring.

"So it was the Fire Dragon Master of the White-Robed Wizard Society who was collecting those alien relics. If you had taught me how to use them and joined our Nine Cities Alliance, today's matter could have been resolved perfectly. Otherwise... although you are a young and talented man, and can even hold your own against Simon for a moment, you are still far from being able to fight me."

Beske looked confident. His spiritual power had already reached a thousand points of perfection, but he just didn't dare to advance to the Origin Soul.

His methods and combat experience are far superior to those of a genius like Simon, who rose to prominence solely through innate talent.

In a real fight, Simon would never be his match.

He remembered that Fire Dragon Master was only a senior member of the Fifth Ring before. The fact that he could reach the perfection of the Fifth Ring so quickly must be related to his secret collection of Golden Leaf.

The Holy Infant pondered for a moment and said:

"Are you serious? I am one of the five elders of the White-Robed Wizard Society. Is joining the Nine Cities Alliance really feasible?"

Beske laughed and said, "Our Nine Cities Alliance has always been inclusive, open to all talents, and recruits people regardless of their background. With your master Artifact Forging and talent, joining the Nine Cities Alliance will give you a much higher status than that Simon."

"Staying in a rogue sect like the White-Robed Wizard Society will only waste your talent and life, leading to a life of mediocrity. You'll probably struggle to even cultivate your Origin Soul in this lifetime."

Mia felt incredibly nervous and guilty when she saw Beske and the others suddenly appear.

"Even Beske is here? Could it be that the Four Old Ones of the Mountain are Beske's men? Damn it, Mia, you've really gotten the master into trouble..."

Beske is a veteran member of the Fifth Ring team, and he still has six subordinates in the Fifth Ring.

Even if you are exceptionally talented and possess a top-grade magical artifact, you are likely to face a perilous situation.
