"Still want to go to the Nightmare World?"

Levi was slightly startled.

Having just escaped from the jaws of death, are we about to enter again?

Freud asked, "How is it?"

Levi said, "Senior, let me think about it."

Freud smiled.

"Of course, there's no rush. If you've thought it through, you can contact me or my two assistants at any time. I live in Dreamland City."

[Dreamland City] is Freud's Sky City, which was recently built and is located next to [Black Abyss City].

Levi said, "Okay."

Levi and the Daydream Believer talked about other things, but most of the topics were related to the Nightmare World and the Dream School.

Freud even generously shared his nightmarish years inside the Lost Monarch.

He did not see these as hardships, but rather as things to be grateful for, even fortunate.

If it weren't for those endless cycles of reincarnation, he might have long since faded into obscurity among the masses, turning into a handful of dust tens of thousands of years ago, and would never have become Legendary Wizard.

He really is an optimistic person, that was Levi's first impression.

Finally, Levi thought for a moment and asked:

"May I ask, Mr. Freud, I have explored the Nightmare World Nightmare World for a long time. Given its vastness and abundant resources, why haven't any artifacts similar to rare items been created? Have I not explored enough? And how did you obtain Legendary Realm artifacts and advance to the Legendary Realm?"

This had been a question that had been lingering in his mind. He saw Freud as the kind of senior who loved to share, so he took this opportunity to inquire about him.

Freud pushed up his glasses and smiled, "That's a very good question. Even if you explore the entire Nightmare World, you won't find any natural wonders. This involves some deep-seated supernatural logic and is related to the characteristics of the Nightmare World itself. Wonders cannot be born in the main spiritual plane."

If you were to travel through the Astral Realm, you would find that there are no extraordinary objects there either. All extraordinary objects are born in the Prime Material Plane. Among them, the Abyss, although a material plane, has its own unique characteristics and cannot spontaneously generate natural extraordinary objects, as does the Underworld. These four super-worlds are all extraordinary and cannot be understood by ordinary standards.

However, while we wizards cannot actively create artifacts, we can use the artifact-forging method created by Lord Sauron to create artifacts tailored to our needs. This method is called [Sauron's Heaven-Seizing Method]. Once you reach the level of Great Wizard, you will obtain this method from the Council and understand it after studying it.

Levi asked:

"When you entered the body of the Lost Monarch, there shouldn't have been Great Wizard yet, right?"

Freud said:

"Yes, during my 666th reincarnation within the Lost Monarch, I met someone who taught me this method. Without him, even if I reincarnated ten thousand times, I would not have been able to forge my own Legendary Realm artifact, prove my Legendary Realm, and escape reincarnation."

"Is it Sauron?"

Levi roughly guessed who it was.

Freud nodded.

"I was able to get rid of the Lost Monarch thanks to my own efforts, as well as Lord Sauron's help across time and space... You may not know that a true god is trapped inside the Lost Monarch."

Levi was deeply shocked.

They lamented the horror of Lost Monarch, and were even more amazed by Sauron's omniscience.

He suddenly remembered the shadow that the Time Dragon had observed. Who was it? Was it Sauron? Could Sauron possibly travel back to ancient times? This involved complex timeline issues, and just thinking about it gave Levi a headache.

Or perhaps, that shadow created Sauron? Including the previous Ultimate Creation?

Freud said:

"[Sauron's Heaven-Seizing Method] is a truly forbidden method. To be on the safe side, only Great Wizard is qualified to understand it. I cannot pass it on to you. Once you advance to the Ninth Ring, the Wizard Council will naturally give it to you."

Even if you are wandering far from home for various reasons, and the council cannot convey your message, Sauron has a way to deliver this law to you in ways beyond our imagination—this is the method of the Ancestor of Wizards.

Levi said:

"So, Sauron isn't dead, is he, Mr. Freud?"

Freud laughed and said, "I don't know either. Death or life, in the end, is just a definition for ordinary living beings. At the level of Sauron, perhaps death and life have no meaning. He may be dead, or he may not be dead."

Levi understood: It was like death...

Freud said:

"The Legendary Realm artifact I forged is called the [Phantom Dream Butterfly]. It draws inspiration from my 1001 cycles of reincarnation within the Lost Monarch, as well as the dream power the Lost Monarch used to build its labyrinth. The Phantom Dream Butterfly can establish a dream connection with the dream of any butterfly in multiple dimensions."

More than 80,000 years ago, when our Dreamland Spire decided to explore the Nightmare World for the first time, I captured a very ordinary Wind Moon Butterfly at the intersection of the Nightmare World and Nora, and made it into a specimen.

Levi muttered to himself, "The Wind Moon Butterfly, a level zero creature, has scales on its wings that have a strong hallucinogenic effect. It is one of the most common Casting Material for Wizard Apprentice of the Dream School and can be used to cast [Minor Illusion]. Are you using the Wind Moon Butterfly's dream to break free from the Lost Monarch's control?"

Freud said:

"That's right, the Wind Moon Butterfly is more suitable for me to establish dream connections than regular butterflies. Many wizards in the Dreamland Spire have specimens of this creature."

Using the hallucinogenic power of the Wind Moon Butterfly as a fulcrum and the power of imagination of Sentient Beings in the Nora World as a lever, I summoned the Lost Monarch, who was powerful enough to bind Hypnosde, the god of sleep and dreams, into the dream I had woven.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for me to break free of the labyrinth's constraints and return to Nora through the dream portal I established with [Wind Moon Butterfly]. However, given the Lost Monarch's intelligence, it must have figured out my method by now.

In its dreamscape, there were not only wizards from the Dreamland Spire, but also many other spellcasters and aliens trapped there; there were 63 level-nine powerhouses alone.

Levi's expression changed slightly.

"63? That's already half of the current number of Great Wizard in the Council."

Freud said:

"So I want to gamble with the Lost Monarch again, which may take thousands of years, or even my next life... I want to release all these trapped Lost Ones. Those who can be used by Nora will become our allies, and together we will face the great calamity to come; those who cannot, we will still have made friends, and there will be no loss."

One day, we will all face Nightmare. The ambitions of the Nightmare World are no less than those of the Abyss, and compared to the chaotic demons, they are far more troublesome and impossible to defend against.

Levi's mind raced.

Should we fight against the Lost Monarch?

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

This is a figure renowned even among Nightmare Lord, whose danger may be no less than that of beings beyond the Level 600 of the Abyss.

Furthermore, while Levi's Nightmare Avatar can be resurrected and reappear, if he truly angers the Lost Monarch, it's not impossible that the Monarch could directly attack him from the Nightmare World into the Wizard World, erasing his original self in reality. For such a being, the absurd act of attacking someone via an internet connection would be perfectly reasonable.

Freud said:

"There's no need to rush the battle with the Lost Monarch. By the time we actually make our move, with your talent, you'll probably have already reached the level of Legendary Wizard. Take your time to think it over; I won't bother you."

After finishing his tea, Freud left with his two Great Wizard assistants.

"By the way, Twilight Hall Master, may I take a tour of the Dream School here?"

Levi quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I'll take you to see him."

Dawn Tower.

The teachers and students of the Dream Academy, led by the Heart Moon Spirit Witch, eagerly awaited the arrival of the Legendary Wizard.

Legendary Wizard —under normal circumstances, they might never meet one in person in their entire lives. Moreover, the experiences of Daydream Believer are more captivating than any novel.

Many people who weren't from the Dream Academy were also mixed in with the crowd, their faces full of excitement.

"Mr. Freud, this is Natasha, the dean of our Dream Academy. Although she is not particularly talented, she is self-taught and has become Origin Soul Witch. She has added a series of Nightmare Summoning spells, which can summon Nightmare Creature in my territory to support the Blood War."

Levi strongly recommended the Heart Moon Spirit Witch to Freud, saying that if this Legendary Wizard could offer some guidance, the middle-aged beauty would be in luck.

Heart Moon Spirit Witch smiled faintly:

"I have met Mr. Freud."

Her slightly unstable mental fluctuations and heaving chest revealed her inner tension.

Freud chatted casually with the Heart Moon Spirit Witch, and the conversation was incredibly insightful, enlightening her. Afterwards, the Heart Moon Spirit Witch even added Freud on her contact list, much to the envy of others.

Freud then expressed his welcome to the faculty and students of the Dream Academy to visit the Dreamland Spire headquarters on the Yellow Earth Continent for mutual exchange and learning.

They watched the Legendary Wizard depart into the distance.

Levi said:

"From now on, everyone should work hard. Mr. Freud is your role model."

With the communication channels between the Dawn Tower and the Dreamland Spire now open, the development of the Dream Academy is bound to enter a fast track.

Back to the Emperor Palace.

Levi carefully considered Mr. Freud's terms of the deal, and discussed them with Elena, Triss, and even the Black Abyss Overlord. Ultimately, he decided the deal was feasible.

What the Dreamland Spire desires most right now is a safer channel for developing the Nightmare World. Only after rapid development through the Nightmare World should they consider the possibility of engaging in a power struggle with the Lost Monarch.

Relying on the strength of the Dreamland Spire, it can completely take over the entire Blood Rain Realm and begin large-scale development without worrying about the covetousness or hostility of other overlords.

As for monarch-level powerhouses, the entire Blood Rain Realm is the territory of the Pale Overlord. Before he falls, other monarchs will not rashly invade and provoke a monarch-level war.

Relying solely on the Ancient Dragon Continent to develop the Nightmare World is still too inefficient.

Shortly afterward, Levi contacted Freud and reached an agreement:

After he advances to the Nightmare Dragon, he will provide the members of the Dreamland Spire with channels to develop the Nightmare World, and the Dreamland Spire will provide technology and knowledge to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

In the Ancient Dragon Continent, wizards can be sent to Dreamland Spire to study at any time without any cost. In the Nightmare World, the members of Dreamland Spire will also obey his Commander-in-Chief as the Black Dragon Lord and will not do anything to harm the territory.

One-third of the resources explored in Dreamland Spire will also be distributed as dividends to the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Furthermore, to ensure smooth cooperation, all members of the Dreamland Spire who enter the Nightmare World must swear an oath under the Oath Sword.

First, they must adhere to the development guidelines for the Nightmare World; second, they must sign a confidentiality agreement, refusing to disclose any confidential information, or face severe penalties. After all, Levi still needs to consider the safety of the Dragon Palace members and other members.

In general.

This deal is relatively fair and can be considered a win-win situation. Given the vastness of the Nightmare World, there is no need to worry about resource allocation.

If it weren't for his limitations, what harm would there be in letting the entire Wizard World enter? Soon.

Levi then received a deposit from the Dreamland Spire transaction, two crystals exuding a psychedelic aura, one jet black and the other dark red.

The black crystal contains the bloodline of the [Black Phantom Dragon], and is at level eight. The dark red crystal contains the Bloodline Crystal the [Evil Eye Dragon], and is also at level eight.

These were obtained by Freud during his reincarnation. One came from an eighth-level Dragon Spawn, and the other came from a true legendary pure-blooded Dragonkind, though it was also an immature eighth-level dragon.

Lost Monarch's body, one finds all sorts of wonders; it's practically a natural treasure trove.

Unfortunately, this is a place where you can only enter and never leave, and Freud is a unique case throughout history.

After leaving the Ancient Dragon Continent, the Golden Walker was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Even a newly ascended Legendary Wizard has to pay a visit to this Twilight Hall Master? Who exactly is this person? Could he also be a reincarnation of Legendary Wizard?"

He had a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.

It was as if all the Legendary Wizard in the world knew that the Twilight Hall Master was incredibly powerful, but he couldn't see it, which made him start to reflect on himself.

"Damn it, why did Louise have to choose the Twilight Hall Master as her backer? If it were any other Great Wizard, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

If Louise were to directly seek the help of Legendary Wizard, he would immediately abandon any illusions he might have.

"Let's play it safe and observe the situation. Even geniuses can fall without absolute strength."

The current power of the Twilight Hall Master is greater than that of ordinary Great Wizard; it is at its zenith. It would be unwise to confront it head-on.

"Let's wait and see. Times change, the situation in this Blood War is constantly shifting, and the Myriad Races Council is watching with predatory eyes. There will always be an opportunity."

The Golden Walker had too many concerns; the Leitney Family was behind him, not just himself.

Time flies.

Outside, a sea of blood rages and war rages on.

Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm create a fairyland of tranquility.

On this day, Black Soul Magic Tower, the sleeping Red King opened his eyes, exuding a tyrannical aura.

An ominous crimson flame swept across the area, causing the surrounding undead to flee in terror.

"Red King, you're awake."

Levi's gaze remained indifferent.

The tyrannical aura in the Red King's eyes faded, and the faint phantom of the Extremely Dark Dragon could be seen flying by.

"This Doomfire Demon Ape is indeed extraordinary. Even my Extremely Dark Enslavement cannot completely suppress its violent aura. However, making it obey orders is not a problem."

Having slumbered for over two hundred years in the Black Soul Magic Tower, the Red King's strength has almost fully recovered, and he is currently at the early stage of level eight.

Levi brought the Red King into the Nightmare World.

"Red King, show us your abilities. Lope, you will be its opponent."

Red King let out a low growl.

Lope said, "Okay."

It is not far from level eight, and its true strength is no less than that of an ordinary eighth-ring wizard.

The two giant apes clashed in the Chaotic Wilderness. The Red King's abilities were the exact opposite of Lope's; its flames were the "Doomfire," which would cause extreme pain to those who were tainted by Doomfire.

Furthermore, the Red King was much faster than Lope, leaving Lope in a blur and unable to keep up. However, its strength was relatively average, even weaker than Lope was at a lower level. Lope was a strength-type giant ape, while the Red King was a speed-type.

Wherever the Red King's figure swept by, a trail of misfortune and fire would be left behind that would linger for a long time.

As the battle reached its climax, the surrounding area stretched for thousands of miles, a crisscrossing web of fire like a spider's web. Lope was ultimately defeated, burning to ashes in the flames.

"Good."

The Red King came to Levi's side and stood silently.

"This big guy looks pretty fierce... By the way, there's been some initial progress on the Witch Mark Reversal Potion. We'll discuss it another day, and Ms. Lucy will also participate remotely."

Triss flew out of the wizard's spire, wearing a fitted black dress and exuding a gentle and graceful aura.

"Okay, your efficiency is too fast, too strong."

Levi mostly just coasted along, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It's mainly thanks to Lucy and Professor Kurobuchi; I was just a helper."

Triss was modest.

One month later.

In Triss's laboratory, Levi, Elena, and Ms. Lucy's projection quietly watched Triss's explanation.

"During this period, we reverse-engineered and dissected the formula and refining process of the Knight Reversal Potion."

The main ingredient substitutes for the Witch Mark Reversal Potion have all been found, namely Saintess Fruit, Spirit Return Water, Bloody Rose, Comet Grass... and level six or higher Mind Flayer Crystal Cores.

After conducting 236 experiments and refining these materials using a special method, we found a seventh-circle wizard criminal from the Myriad Races Council to test them.

His Sixth Ring sorcery mark successfully dissipated. Then, with his talent and cultivation level, he could repair a complete Sixth Ring sorcery mark in about ten years by re-cultivating the spells he had previously practiced.

Levi pondered for a moment and said, "Ten years? That's a good pace."

Wizards are different from Knight, and they have their own Proficiency Panel, so the cost of them having to relearn their skills is definitely very small and cannot be measured by common sense.

He asked, "What is the talent of that experimental wizard?"

Triss said:

"The ordinary Child of Earth Element talent, along with a few insignificant acquired special talents, were all obtained by refining the Morning Star artifact."

"That's no problem."

Take Hundred Flowers for example. If she wanted to dissipate her cultivation and start over, she could recover the 12 Sixth Ring witch marks she had previously imprinted with within a hundred years at the latest, given her current talent.

Then, the new Sixth Ring witch mark, using the seven-environment world of the Hundred Flowers, will be imprinted again. Although it won't take ten years to complete one mark, it will definitely be much faster than the original Sixth Ring world.

Firstly, the overall level of the Hundred Flowers realm has been elevated, reaching a higher and more comprehensive perspective.

Secondly, Hundred Flowers's talent has acquired a new [Water God Body], which is incomparable to what it was before.

In short, if the efficacy of this medicine is stable and it is indeed feasible, then mass production can begin.

"By the way, does this medicine have any side effects?"

Triss said:

"It may also randomly remove some other spell imprints, but based on our experiments, we can confirm that it will not affect innate spells."

A wizard's innate magical abilities accompany them throughout their life; they must always use them, and their importance is self-evident.

Lucy, who had been silent all along, said, "So this is just the initial result. The next step is to reduce or even eliminate the side effects. Don't rush to put it into use yet."

Levi agreed.

As for the refining materials.

He glanced at them; they were all relatively easy to find, especially Saintess Fruit, which were already as common as tomatoes. The level six Mind Flayer Core, while not as widespread as the Flame Demon Core, was still plentiful in the market.

Next, various organizations can secretly acquire these materials and stockpile enough before announcing the drug.

As for pricing...

The cost of these potions is similar to that of the Sixth Ring Breakthrough Potion; he felt that a slightly higher price would be acceptable.

After discussing with everyone, we also listened to the advice of the lead researcher, Ms. Lucy.

Levi decided on a 1 billion yuan fund.

After all, the cost of these materials is around 300 million.

The bulk of the price is the Mind Flayer Crystal Core, which, even with the price drop during the Blood War, still averages 150 million Great Stone. Levi had hunted some before, but it wouldn't last long.

We also need to consider the labor costs of pharmacists at Gandalf Pharmacy, as well as advertising and promotion expenses.

Those who need the Witch Mark Reversal Potion are seventh- or Eighth Ring Wizard. With their wealth, 1 billion Great Stone is no problem for them if they grit their teeth.

As the main developer of the drug, Triss also receives a share of the profits. Levi looked at Ms. Lucy, wanting to discuss her share of the profits.

"Madam, the sales profit of the Witch Mark Reversal Potion..."

Lucy interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"You can pay me 1 Great Stone."

Levi:...

"Madam, this is not a good idea."

Lucy said, "It's settled then. Oh, by the way, Professor Kuroyuki also needs 1 Great Stone. Remember to give it to him when you have time."

Ultimately, he couldn't persuade the lady. Levi also understood the intentions of these two elders and paid a symbolic sum of one Great Stone.

Lucy smiled slightly, and her figure vanished.

If Levi Weiqi were to set a high price and profit from the situation, she probably wouldn't have only asked for 1 Great Stone.

In her view, Levi's price was reasonable enough for the current stage of the Wizard Civilization to allow Primal Soul Wizard who needed it to buy it immediately.

These people will be the backbone of the Blood War, and may benefit from the return potion, advancing to the eighth ring, or even Great Wizard.

Time flies.

Four years later.

Nora Calendar year 805.

The 594th year of the Blood War.

After numerous experiments and tests, the Witch Mark Reversal Potion was finally developed.

Before any drug with Sixth Ring can be marketed, it must be tested by the headquarters of the Potion Makers' Association of the parliament to ensure that there are no problems.

After discussion, Levi asked Triss, as the inventor of the potion, to go and submit it for testing.

This day.

The Potion Makers' Association was in an uproar.

"Ms. Triss, can your potion truly reverse witch marks and allow for a complete overhaul?"

"Yes, really? I've been studying potions for three thousand years and I've never heard of such a thing."

"The president is here!"

The president of the Potion Makers' Association is a Legendary Wizard. He wears an earth-yellow robe, has a distant gaze, and possesses a magnanimous and virtuous aura. He is none other than the "Thousand Mountains Undying".

"Hello, President."

Triss was thrilled to have met the supreme apothecary of the Wizard World.

The Legendary Realm apothecary, Alexander.

Throughout his life, he created 3,233 unique potion formulas, including 345 formulas with Sixth Ring and 12 formulas with Tenth Ring, known as the "Twelve Divine Potions," all of which were extremely powerful and defied the laws of nature. The Grand Council President Eamon, called him the "Medicine God." The higher the level of the potion, the more difficult it was to develop.

The Thousand Mountains Undying nodded slightly, took the potion from Triss, and drank it on the spot.

"Guild Master... this is the Return of the Witch's Mark."

Triss exclaimed.

She knew the president's method for testing the potion was simple: just drink it. The problem was, this stuff was meant to remove witch marks.

Qianshan Undying closed his eyes, and his body seemed to transform into a semi-transparent particle state. The energy transformed from the potion flowed through his limbs and bones, and then surged into his mind.

Everyone waited in silence.

Is it really possible to develop such Witch Mark Reversal Potion?

"Yes, for some Primal Soul Wizard, its importance is second only to Lifespan Extension Potion. If that's true, if Ms. Triss were to release a new potion, I would be the first to buy it."

"Me too, ma'am, don't forget to save one for me."

The Thousand Mountains Undying opened his eyes and laughed:

"No problem, I feel the style of an old friend in this potion."

Triss was puzzled.

"This potion was developed by Ms. Lucy, who is an old friend of the Thousand Mountains Undying? Could it be that, as Levi guessed, Lucy is the reincarnation of Legendary Wizard?"

The Thousand Mountains Undying paused for a moment, then said, "This is a potion of epoch-making significance. Thank you, Ms. Triss. As the president of the Pharmacist Guild, I hereby award you the [Nine-Star Medal]. From this day forward, you will have nine-star access to the Potion Makers' Association's knowledge base."

These words were spoken.

Triss and the other pharmacists at headquarters all gasped in shock.

Nine-star authority is equivalent to the authority of a Ninth Ring apothecary. In the current Wizard World, there are only 56 wizards who possess this authority.

Among them are 14 Legendary Wizard. Anyone who advances to the Legendary Realm, regardless of whether they are a Ninth Ring alchemist, automatically gains this privilege.

Of the remaining 36, all were Great Wizard.

Only 6 people are below the Ninth Ring.

What an honor! Triss was somewhat surprised.

She wanted to say that the potion was actually more due to the recipe of Levi Knight's potion and Ms. Lucy's efforts, but remembering their instructions, she held back.

As a wizard who has devoted herself to the potion industry, Triss had also dreamed of this day, and now she almost cried tears of joy.

"Thank you, President, and thank you everyone. I was just lucky to develop this potion. To prevent myself from being unworthy of my position, Triss will do my best to live up to the association's trust."

"I received the Nine-Star Medal!"

Triss immediately shared the good news with everyone, her joy barely concealed.

"Marvelous!"

Elena hugged Triss, genuinely happy for her.

The two girls spun around excitedly, looking just like little children.

Levi also showed a look of relief.

Ms. Triss is worthy.

Triss actually wanted Levi to be the inventor of the potion, since Levi was the one who gave her the formula for the Knight Reversal Potion.

But Levi resolutely refused. Firstly, he had hardly participated, spending most of his time in seclusion cultivating; secondly, he wanted to repay the lady's kindness over the years, and nothing was more fitting than the honor of the Nine-Star Medal.

"Thank you, Levi."

Triss thanked her sincerely.

Levi laughed:

"Why thank me? You should thank Ms. Lucy."

After discussion, the Witch Mark Reversal Potion was named "Triss's Mark Washing Water," a name that is easy to understand.

This is a seventh-ring potion, and of course, it is also applicable to Eighth Ring Wizard.

Forget about the Ninth Ring; the Witch Mark is already finalized by then. With the current version of the Stain Removal Water, it's not possible.

However, with the development of knowledge, there may be hope in the future.

Unlike some potions that can only be used once, the [Stain Removal Water] has no limit on the number of uses! If you are not satisfied, you can reset your power a second time, as long as you have enough time and resources.

Triss and Gandalf began to work diligently on their next plan.

This is a blue ocean market worth hundreds of billions, with no competitors for a long time. Of course, it is possible that some people will reverse-engineer the drug formula, but it will be very difficult.

Because the process of making medicine involves many unique incantations and procedures.

Even if you find all the materials, you might not be able to refine it.

One year later.

Nora, 806.

At the age of 1230, Levi stopped practicing the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique.

"That's the limit."

Thanks to the Secret Medicine of the pure-blooded Dragonkind, this Breathing Technique, which had always lagged behind the main force, was perfected not long after the Death Ember Dragon.

A deep red potion appeared in his hand, radiating a mesmerizing glow; the longer one looked at it, the more one would be drawn into it.

"Let's begin."

While Levi was in seclusion, Elena and Triss also each consumed the [Stain Removal Water] and began their journey of rebuilding their strength.

This time, their minimum goal is 15 Sixth Ring witch marks. Elena even aims for 22 witch marks.

Although Triss's lifespan was not as long as Elena's, she was also extremely talented. In addition, she did not study as many different things Elena, so she also wanted to pursue the 22 Paths.

Regardless of whether she becomes Legendary Realm in the future, one must always have dreams. Besides, her mental strength is not far from the limit of the seventh ring, and she has already imprinted 11 seventh-ring witch marks.

He's only a little over 1,800 years old, more than enough to advance to the eighth ring, and his total lifespan will be four thousand years thereafter. As long as he maintains this momentum, becoming Great Wizard is definitely within reach. If he could find a way to extend his lifespan by a thousand years, that would be even more certain.

The 10 bottles of "Stain Removal Water" that had been prepared in advance were also put on the shelves of Gandalf Pharmacy. Because of the extensive pre-opening publicity, all 10 bottles of the potion sold out on the first day of opening.

Seventh and Eighth Ring Wizard from various schools, desperately needing this item, were already lining up at the gates, a scene comparable to the "far ahead" phenomenon of the past. The reason for their immense trust in this newly developed potion stemmed from a report from the Potion Makers' Association headquarters, "[Recently, our member, the seventh-ring wizard Triss, has developed Witch Mark Reversal Potion. This potion has been personally tested by the ' Thousand Mountains Undying ' and confirmed to be safe. This is a revolutionary potion; from now on, every Primal Soul Wizard will have the opportunity to reselect the number of Spell Marks they possess. The first batch of this potion will be distributed by Gandalf Pharmacy; those in need can purchase it directly there. For her outstanding contribution, Ms. Triss has been awarded the ' Nine-Star Medal.']"

With the endorsement of the Legendary Wizard and Potion Makers' Association, the quality is definitely not a problem.

Of course, many people chose to wait and see how the first batch of "Little White" fared.

After all, the consequences of washing away the witch mark are too severe. If it can't be repaired, it's equivalent to losing most of one's cultivation. From then on, one can only use innate spells.

Gandalf Pharmacy's sales of the Stain Removal Water alone reached a staggering 10 billion in a single day! After deducting the costs of materials, advertising, labor, and other miscellaneous expenses, they made a net profit of 7 billion! Of course, not all of this money went into Levi's pocket.

There's also the cost of giving Triss a share of the profits, and then there are the expenses for maintaining the pharmacy's operations and research and development.

In any case, before the market for this drug becomes saturated, Levi's wealth will expand rapidly.

Levi wasn't particularly happy. His happiest moment was when he killed the Black Wizard and earned a few hundred Great Stone). To him, Great Stone were just cold, impersonal numbers. He hadn't felt short of money in a long time.

Triss received a substantial share of the profits, taking another step closer to becoming a wealthy woman. The once-in-a-century Bloody Battle Auction is just around the corner. She's sure to bleed a fortune then.

Elena exclaimed, "Knowledge is Great Stone!"

In her spare time, she spent all her time with Triss, Greed absorbing... Triss's knowledge of potions.

besides.

Victor and the Holy Infant each received a bottle of the Stain Removal Water, just in case.

They all advanced with 15 Sixth Ring witch marks, so their foundation was already quite good.

However, with the addition of rare items and the improvement of their acquired talents, reaching the 22nd level doesn't seem too far away. The two of them aren't in a hurry for now; they'll see how well they refine the next set of divine-level rare items.

If possible, Levi would naturally want all three of his avatars to steadily achieve Legendary Realm status. With three Legendary Realm identities, he would undoubtedly be the most powerful Legendary Wizard in history, second only to Sauron.

The King of Body Refinement, the King of Artifact Refining and Ice-Fire, the King of Secret Swords and Magic Circles!

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Time flies.

Two years later.

Nora, 808.

At the cost of another island, Levi's Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique has also evolved.

This time, the Darkness Tribulation of Evolution is just Sea Mirage again.

Fortunately, this Sea Mirage was nothing special; it was just a large-scale illusion.

There were many powerful monsters inside, including one at the mid-level of level eight, which was killed by Levi with the [Secret Word of Destruction].

Thousands of miles away.

The Thousand Illusion Knight and some Knight practiced perception-based Breathing Technique watched their leader undergo tribulation and learned from his experience.

The Thousand Illusion Knight is now at the peak of level six and is also facing the choice of evolution.

Her own [phantom beast] wasn't actually Nightmare Creature. However, Nightmare Creature are the easiest to find with perception-type bloodlines. Therefore, her future path, like Levi's, was to evolve towards the Nightmare realm.

Suddenly, an invisible wave swept over them, and the Thousand Illusion Knight fainted.

When she woke up, she found herself in a strange space.

There is no time, no space, no sun, moon, or stars here, only endless darkness and flickering points of light.

Those points of light are countless golden dragon eyes, scattered throughout the universe.

Where is this?

Not only her, but all the Knight suddenly realized that they were in a strange world.

"What's going on? I feel conscious, but I can't move. Is it sleep paralysis?"

"I feel like I can't sense the passage of time anymore, and everything has lost its meaning."

"I can't perceive anything anymore."

"I feel the opposite; I feel like I can perceive everything, I'm going crazy."

"Life is so meaningless."

Beyond the Strange Nation.

Levi stood with his hands behind his back, and in his palms was a black sphere, like a supernova explosion, like a black hole, beyond description.

He gently dispersed the black ball.

The Thousand Illusion Knight and their companions had long since disappeared from the surrounding area.

Inside the Black Dragon Territory.

The Thousand Illusion Knight opened her eyes, but before she could react, everything went black again, and she fainted once more.

When she woke up again, she and the other Knight were already beside Levi, and she still felt groggy.

"Commander... what's going on?"

Levi laughed:

"It's alright, I just sent your true forms into the Nightmare World."

The Thousand Illusion Knight patted his towering chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It scared me. I felt like I entered a void. I don't know if it was an illusion. Anyway, my senses were disordered, and everything was meaningless. Dragon eyes were everywhere."

Levi said, "That's my territory."

The Thousand Illusion Knight were shocked.

"A domain... I'm thousands of miles away, yet the domain's area is so vast?"

Levi said, "Theoretically, there are no spatial limitations to this domain. Anyone who senses it and is weaker than me may be pulled into it. You and the Knight can go and collect some rewards as compensation for being experimented on by me."

The Knight were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Back to the Emperor Palace.

Levi opened the Proficiency Panel.

He didn't change the name of his new sensory Breathing Technique; he still called it "Nightmare Dragon."

When I talked to The Daydream Believer before, he said the name was very special.

Levi thought so too.

Levi ——————

Breathing Technique: Level 20 (1/20 million), Special Effect: Nightmare Dragon Body - Mythical Grade (Early Stage 8), Bloodline Avatar: Nightmare Mist; Blood Source True Armor: Nightmare Dragon Armor; Exclusive Weapon: Nightmare Helmet (Level 8); Bloodline Divine Runes: 15/66; Bloodline Secret Word: Nothingness (All-perceptive, nothing can hide from it).

This evolution of the Nightmare Dragon has granted Levi the ultimate perception ability, further enhancing his sense of danger.

Furthermore, he can simultaneously summon over 200,000 Nightmare Avatar to the Nightmare World. The "server" problem of everyone else disconnecting after the Legendary Wizard logs in will no longer exist. Previously, the maximum capacity was only 30,000, making this an epic enhancement.

Levi could even throw the true forms of beings from the Prime Material Plane into the Nightmare World, leaving them to fend for themselves. Of course, this was contingent on the being being affected by the Nightmare Levi had woven; if it was too powerful, it would naturally be immune.

The Nightmare Domain has a diameter of 80 kilometers, which goes without saying.

Finally, there is the [No Hiding Secret Word]. It consists of the [Secret Word of Perception] and the [True Word of Fear].

Judging from Levi's recent experiment, the effect of this secret is extremely abnormal.

On one hand, the secret language can greatly enhance Levi's active perception range, making his perception abilities far exceed the normal level of Eighth Ring Wizard.

on the other hand.

Once activated, it can create a conceptual perception domain that ignores space and distance.

Anyone who senses Levi's presence will also be sensed by Levi.

Whether it's seeing, hearing, smelling—these traditional senses—or spiritual perception, or any other means that can be called "perception."

When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you. When you sense Levi, Levi also senses you.
