Locke studied Spiritual Breath under Witch Catherine’s guidance, isolated a new protective Spiritual Breath, and secured an Academy Fund application and teaching plans at the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower. The chapter ended with Wizard Appian visiting the Silver-Clad Peach Garden while secretly fearing that it was where the Undead Calamity would begin.

• Witch Catherine gave Locke a list of 121 Spiritual Breath books, and the Treant Wizard showed him how to skim their prefaces and chapter titles.
• Locke revised his understanding of protective Spiritual Breath and isolated Water-Guiding Spiritual Breath from Wetland Corn, then applied for Academy Fund support.
• Academy Dean Elliott praised Locke’s research, promised to advance his application, and arranged Locke’s Wetland Magic Plant course for two days later.
• Tyrant Fist Wizard warned the Golden Crown Mountain meeting that a long-running project might threaten the Zhoutian Battle Tree’s stability, alarming the Red Dragon Witch.
• Wizard Appian arrived with a lavish procession, introduced himself as the Fourth Prince of the Golden Dynasty, and joined Locke at the Silver-Clad Peach Garden.
• Appian privately recognized the Silver-Clad Peach Garden as the place where his prophetic memories said the Undead Calamity would begin, but told Locke he wanted to explore and discuss commercial cooperation.

The March Council set the Heaven River Coast’s rules for the Heaven River Banks Fund contest, while Wizard Sera fought his way toward a place in it. At Silver-Clad Peach Garden, Fourth Prince Appian sought a suspected necromancer and a business partner, but Locke’s astonishing spell imitation left Appian insisting it could not possibly be Golden Magic.

• Wizard Jikongyue and the other March Council members agreed to let candidates compete for eleven places, then received an order giving Seven Mountains Region’s candidate an automatic place and chose Rose Witch for another.

• After Appian demonstrated Golden Eye, King's Treasury, and the Golden Magic Mirror, Locke reproduced each spell with startling speed, and Appian declared that Locke’s magic could not be Golden Magic.

Locke’s Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow impressed Appian, while wizard prodigies competed for the Two-River Banks Fund and a necromancer ambushed Appian and Baibars. Locke intervened, but the necromancer’s Reincarnation spell forced Appian to reveal the terrifying speed of his Golden Short-Life Sword Bean Pods.

• Appian left Silver-Clad Peach Garden in anger after Locke learned four Golden Magic secret spells, but Locke predicted that Appian would still pursue cooperation.

• Locke seized the necromancer and dragged him across the ground, but the necromancer cast Reincarnation toward Appian, who destroyed the vine with his Golden Short-Life Sword Bean Pods and revealed their immense speed.

Locke uncovered Wizard Appian’s command of Spiritual Breath and exchanged breeding knowledge with him, while both concealed their true strength and suspicions. After Appian departed, Locke returned to the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower and began his public lecture on wetland magic plants, drawing a packed classroom while Taiwushi’s class sat empty.

• Locke recognized that Appian had linked his Spiritual Breath with a Star-Ring Magic Plant, then questioned Appian’s claimed Magic Pressure and whether he had truly needed help against Withered Vine Ancestor.
• Baibars revealed that Appian and he were competing against a powerful Black Earth Region wizard for the academy fund, and he displayed his Star-Ring ancestral god, the Star Dragon.

• Locke returned to the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower, where he opened his public lecture with real wetland magic plants and told the apprentices to study them firsthand.
• Taiwushi looked into his empty classroom and regretted holding his class at the same time as Locke’s crowded lecture.

Locke taught his first public class at the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower, giving the Wizard Apprentices a serious lesson on Wetland Magic Plants and introducing his research into their distinctive vitality. After receiving unanimous approval for his academy fund, he learned Golden Crown Mountain might reduce its support and reassured Witch Shally that he would make the Iron Tree sprout soon.

• Locke taught the apprentices to take an interest in magic plants and explained Wetland Magic Plants, including the special vitality he had found in Wetland Corn.
• The apprentices and attending wizards applauded Locke’s class, while Taiwushi Wizard admitted Locke’s research and teaching surpassed his own.

• Locke received Witch Shally’s message that Golden Crown Mountain might reduce its material support and that their teacher wanted to know whether the Iron Tree seeds had sprouted.
• Locke told Witch Shally he would make the Iron Tree sprout as soon as possible.

Locke used the Pan Wizard Array to nourish the Iron Tree seed while the Moromota Wizard proposed to Planknia, triggering a crisis that linked her to the Sky-Filling Battle Tree. Witch Catherine revealed that the Iron Tree, Marriage Ring, and Pan Wizard Array could uproot the tree, leaving Golden Crown Mountain’s wizards blaming the Tyrant Fist Throne and Red Dragon Throne as the White Cardamom Farm faced collapse.

• Locke refined the Pan Wizard Array and used the Green Dragon True Dragon Crystal to nourish the Iron Tree seed, while the Moromota Wizard asked Planknia to marry him and shared the regretful stories of their ancestors.
• At the Academy meeting, the Tyrant Fist Throne accused the White Cardamom Farm of instability and revealed that Planknia’s connection to the Sky-Filling Battle Tree could interact dangerously with the Hadrons in the Moromota Wizard.
• Planknia’s Hadrons erupted, drawing the Sky-Filling Battle Tree toward her, while the Moromota Wizard realized the Elder Council had manipulated him and failed to stop the growing crisis.
• The Iron Tree seed sprouted under Locke’s Pan Wizard Array, and Locke realized that its growth was tied to the difficult subproject his teacher had assigned him.
• Witch Catherine explained that the Marriage Ring could transfer Planknia’s connection to the Iron Tree, linking it with the Pan Wizard Array and potentially uprooting the Sky-Filling Battle Tree from the White Cardamom Farm.
• The wizards at the meeting blamed the Tyrant Fist Throne and Red Dragon Throne for guiding events toward the farm’s destruction.

As White Cardamom Farm collapsed, Locke protected Planknia from Wizard Guboding, who sought to kill her to save the farm. Locke challenged the farm’s ancestral rules and exposed its dimensional flaw before the Fairy Dragon intervened to help him escape.

• The Sky-Filling Battle Tree’s collapse destabilized White Cardamom Farm, and Moromota Wizard used his Marriage Ring to connect with Planknia and slow her fall with Reverse Force-Field Fluctuation.

• Locke broke through Guboding’s Spatial Prison, wounded him with the Claw of the Red Gold Sacred Peach, and refused to abandon Planknia despite Guboding’s warnings and the arrival of an Alarite Wizard Legion.
• Locke used Spirit Macro Stacking after shattering the farm’s weakened space, then argued that the dimensional-reduced Key Laboratory was virtual and that the ancestors’ command did not justify killing Planknia.
• Wizard Guboding prepared his four inherited spells, but the Fairy Dragon appeared at Witch Catherine’s request, ordered him to stop, and told Locke to take Planknia and leave.

As the Sky-Filling Battle Tree began transferring from White Cardamom Farm into the Present World, Tyrant Fist Throne and Witch Catherine prepared to settle the crisis through a vote. Locke trusted Witch Catherine, defended Planknia against Starspace City’s Wizards, and fought until his strength waned; he was left deciding whether to reach the Battle Tree through Spiritual Breath or defeat Wizard Maklas by force.

• Tyrant Fist Throne urged the Wizards to repair the Sky-Filling Battle Tree, while Green Dragon Throne called for a vote presided over by Witch Catherine and Dean Old Henry arrived to support Tyrant Fist Throne.
• Locke returned to the small world with Witch Planknia, received the Dragon Crystal’s energy, and promised Witch Catherine he trusted her as she explained the Battle Tree’s prophecy and urged him to listen to it.
• Antiochus, Maklas, and Micksius confronted Locke and demanded that he surrender Planknia, so Locke sent her away with the Great Radiant Dragon Sparrow and blocked Micksius with his Dragon Sparrows.
• Locke blasted Micksius away with linked Attila Lightning Chains, then knocked Antiochus out of the small world after matching his Dragon Demon form with two powerful bloodlines.
• Locke failed to connect with the Sky-Filling Battle Tree’s Spiritual Breath as Maklas attacked with Fire Magic, leaving him weakened and unsure whether to keep trying or fight back.

Locke defeated Maklas by joining his Spiritual Breath with the Sky-Filling Battle Tree and evolving the Great Radiant Dragon Sparrow, but the farm’s collapse revealed Holographic Undead beneath the tree. After Locke destroyed one undead with Alfonso’s Golden Sword, he met the Golden Dragon Wizard’s fading Spiritual Breath, which named Catherine as its inheritor and left Locke a final gift.

• Maklas attacked Locke and Planknia with Fire Magic, but Locke entered meditation, fused his Spiritual Breath with the Sky-Filling Battle Tree, and evolved the Great Radiant Dragon Sparrow into the Great Bright Flame Dragon Sparrow.
• Locke’s empowered magic plant absorbed Maklas’s flames, and Locke struck Maklas away as the Sky-Filling Battle Tree broke free and White Cardamom Farm collapsed.
• Guboding rescued the combatants from the collapsing space, while the wizards discovered Holographic Undead beneath the tree and the Academy rejected a proposal to rescue the farm.
• A Holographic Undead calling itself the Lord of Rules revealed that it had fed on the laboratory for millennia, and Locke destroyed it with Alfonso’s Golden Sword.
• The Golden Dragon Wizard’s Spiritual Breath brought Locke into a memory-like place, explained that it was only a remnant, named Catherine as its sole inheritor, and gave Locke a final gift.

After White Cardamom Farm collapsed, the Sky-Filling Battle Tree took root in the Sky Garden, which Witch Catherine planned to turn into a new Key Laboratory. Wizard Guboding accepted a mysterious inheritance and left Golden Crown Mountain to pursue vengeance against the undead, while Locke returned to Group 2 and then encountered Antoine, who said he had found something on the Ancient Planet.

• The Sky-Filling Battle Tree settled into the Sky Garden and grew beyond its former limits, while Witch Catherine announced that the Sky Garden would become the new Key Laboratory.

• Locke left to visit Witch Catherine and met Antoine, who said Locke would have to compensate him and that he had made an interesting discovery on the Ancient Planet.

Locke and Antoine struck a partnership to study the Ancient Planet’s unusual plants, while Antoine warned him that hadrons inside Planknia and Moromota Wizard were unstable. The Throne Wizards then ordered Locke to move his clone away from the Heaven River Coast before a likely attack, but summoned him to a March Council meeting over a disputed funding claim.

• Antoine explained that the Ancient Planet’s natives used defensive plant material, and he and Locke agreed to exchange research help for local plants and a leaf from the Red Agate Empire.
• Antoine warned Locke that living beings from the Ancient Planet died when removed from it and hinted that the hadrons inside Planknia and Moromota Wizard were unstable; he gave Locke a bracelet to help stabilize Planknia’s hadrons.
• Fischer Wizard told Antoine that the Elder Council would continue developing the Ancient Planet alone and ordered him to explore farther and seek permission to build a wizard fortress.
• Witch Catherine, the Green Dragon Throne, and the Blue Dragon Throne told Locke that the Academy would establish the Sky Garden project and outlined his official punishment and personal reward.
• Witch Catherine told Locke to get his clone off the Heaven River Coast to avoid a likely attack, then informed him that the March Council had called the competition participants to discuss a disputed funding claim.

The Blue Dragon Throne rewarded Locke by rebuilding his Demon Dragon Bloodline and granting him a powerful new eye ability, while the Green Dragon Throne began guiding him toward a Star-Ring Botanical Magic spell. The chapter ended with Witch Catherine warned that High-Ring Wizards might target contestants at the Heaven River Coast, and she vowed to protect Locke.

• The Blue Dragon Throne warned Locke that his improvised bloodline could endanger his advancement, then reshaped it and strengthened its Beholder essence using information drawn from the Supreme Beholder in the Abyss.
• The Blue Dragon Throne gave Locke the Blue Dragon Essence Absorption Formation and helped him awaken the Abyssal Mind's Eye, which could distort and relocate objects but rapidly drained his Magic Pressure.

• The Blue Dragon Throne warned Witch Catherine that High-Ring Wizards might target young contestants at the Heaven River Coast, and Witch Catherine vowed that anyone who targeted Locke would regret it.

Locke explored the Green Dragon Throne’s Shortcut Land, gained the Green Dragon’s Grasp Spell Model and Azure Dragon Spiritual Breath, and learned from Witch Catherine how to advance his Spiritual Breath Studies. After Catherine gave him the Hundred-Dragon Peach Pit and urged him to leave the dangerous Heaven River Coast, the girl who had once been Catherine’s student realized the peach pit had gone to someone else and vowed to destroy its new owner.

• Locke discovered that the Shortcut Land’s hostile vines were imprints of his own thoughts, then used the Synthesis Cube to combine three special imprints into the Green Dragon’s Grasp Spell Model and a strand of special Spiritual Breath.
• Witch Catherine discussed the escaped former student with Fafnir, ordered him to protect their ultimate plan, and told him to keep Locke focused on the competition.

• The girl beneath the magical umbrella sensed that her connection to the Hundred-Dragon Peach Pit had been severed and vowed to make its new owner her mortal enemy.

Locke’s fifth Potion Accelerated Advancement lesson revealed that the Dark World had cultivated a Fruit Position and allied with the Parasso Pantheon, while Locke captured the Spirit Macro of Sulsuman before class ended. Afterward, the Sea Queen Throne offered him a True Phoenix eggshell fragment in exchange for helping treat a wizard poisoned by a Spiral Afterimage Potion.

• Gang Dingdi’s dark gale expelled the Root Crown Court wizards from Mountain-River Wanderer’s body, and Wizard Anthony’s Doppelgänger Potion only split Gang Dingdi briefly.
• Locke used the Nero No. 3 Potion to create a red Gang Dingdi, but Sulsuman intervened, destroyed the duplicate, and revealed the Parasso Pantheon’s plan to aid the Dark World.
• Locke extracted Sulsuman’s Spirit Macro as the lesson ended, then told Wizard Anthony and the others that the Sea King World had become a battlefield involving the Persepolis God Clan.
• The Sea Queen Throne refused to sell Locke True Phoenix eggshell fragments and invited him to gamble, but he declined and instead agreed to complete a task for her.

• Locke suspected that someone had worsened the war to prevent him from leaving the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower Academy.

Locke agreed to help Dean Elliott keep the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower from falling, then uncovered how the White Ice Tower’s use of undead was helping it wage war. He captured a force of undead White Ice Tower wizards for experiments and left the surviving human wizards to report his challenge to Master Jikongyue.

• Dean Elliott confessed that his seizure of a Star-Ring Resource had helped ignite the conflict with the White Ice Tower, and Locke promised to upgrade the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrows so the Tidal Grand Wizard Tower would not lose.
• Rose Witch dismissed Locke’s warning about undead goods at Olaye, approved Hammer’s discovery of rule-breaking shops, and told Joshua to remain behind while she prepared to leave the Heaven River Coast.

• Locke shattered the White Ice Tower force’s defenses with a Spiritual Breath Arrow and captured the undead in the Pagoda Broccoli, telling the surviving human wizards to inform Master Jikongyue that he needed undead for experiments.

Locke tested how Heart-Melting Spiritual Breath and Vermilion Bird Spiritual Breath affected Soybean Strongmen and White Ice Tower undead, then devised a cultivation plan that required capturing more undead. He rejected Cold Sky River Investment Bank’s offer and launched an assault on a battlefield, where he used his Red Moon and Super Evolution Moon to suppress the White Ice Tower’s undead and evolve a Soybean Strongman.

• Locke, Terence, and Gusta observed White Ice Tower undead using stored Ice Magic to slow a Soybean Strongman, then Locke empowered it with Heart-Melting Spiritual Breath and watched it destroy a Lich.
• Locke found that the Heart-Melting trait quickly degenerated across generations and that Vermilion Bird Spiritual Breath made a Soybean Strongman explode, while a surviving Sphinx raised an undead-controlled wizard inside the Water Prison.

• The Star-Ring Wizard withdrew with the White Ice Tower’s human wizards, while Locke told the undead they could leave.

Jikongyue moved to convene the March Council early after learning that Locke had attacked White Ice Tower forces, while Locke rushed to finish a countermeasure before the meeting. After creating the Strongman Soybean in six days, Locke headed for the March Palace and traveled with a mysterious witch, as Golden Dragon Fafnir confronted another girl who threatened to expose Catherine’s plans.

• Jikongyue received a report that Locke had fought in the war and seized White Ice Tower wizards, then decided to convene the March Council in a week after Raphael asked for time to investigate Appian.
• Elliott warned Locke about the early council, and Locke led the Silver-Clad Peach Garden designers in using undead liches to develop the ice-resistant Strongman Soybean.

• Golden Dragon Fafnir confronted a girl who threatened to become undead and reveal Catherine’s plans, then left after finding evidence that the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wheel was present.

Locke learned how magic plants could become representative or model species while a mysterious witch tested his breeding knowledge and sold him a Louis Desert Rose. When undead forces ambushed his carriage, Locke fought back with his cultivated Hercules Soybeans, and the witch gave him a metal-aspected Grafting Knife and asked him to kill the Withered Vine Ancestor.

• The mysterious witch explained representative species and Sun-Ring model species, then questioned Locke about his cultivation research and advised him to focus on the sea golden sand genus.
• The witch offered Locke a Louis Desert Rose for twenty million Magic Stones, and he negotiated to buy it for ten million on credit after she mentioned his teacher, Catherine.

Locke used the mysterious witch’s Grafting Knife to defeat the Withered Vine Ancestor, who transformed himself into a powerful Rite and nearly trapped Locke in an illusion. After reaching March Palace at the end of the Cold Sky River, Locke encountered Rose Witch and the witches Anna and Catherine, while a teleportation orb left him facing a choice about entering a star-ring-level secret realm.

• Locke used the Grafting Knife to destroy the Withered Vine Ancestor’s undead forces, while the Pagoda Broccoli absorbed the remaining undead and the Second-Ring Liches escaped through the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wheel.
• Locke pursued the Withered Vine Ancestor, who performed Nine Offerings and became a Rite that trapped Locke in a deadly illusion; Locke used Alfonso’s Golden Sword to break free and killed him with the Grafting Knife.
• Locke cultivated twenty-one Second-Ring Sea Golden Sand plants with the remaining Spiritual Breath, and Wizard Rameses witnessed the fight before warning a rival by drift bottle that Locke was a terrifying competitor.
• The mysterious witch identified a purple orb Locke found as a teleportation orb to the star-ring-level Forgotten Mountains, but explained that its restrictions would force Locke to leave Golden Crown Mountain and risk the situation on the Heaven River Coast.
