In the void, formless water elements gathered before Levi like an inexhaustible river.
Within the water curtain, Elena's water-like figure reappeared.
"The Elemental Saint Body that only Great Wizards possess, how is it? Amazing, right? I'm not sure if it's the function of the Tear of the Water God or the Water God Body.
However, compared to the Elemental Saint Body of a Great Wizard, it's still different. It has a certain time limit. With my current cultivation, it's only about a quarter of an hour at most, and then I need to rest for a day.
Also, Great Wizards can annihilate all things into elemental particles, which I can't do. But it's more than enough to save my life in front of Eighth Ring enemies.
Unless the enemy has special treasures that restrict the Elemental Saint Body, I can deal with anyone below Ninth Ring with ease.
In any case, calling it an Elemental Saint Body is a bit much. Perhaps it can be called the [Water Origin Undying Body]."
The Elemental Saint Body is one of the chasms between Great Wizards and Eighth Ring Wizards. To some extent, it's similar to Levi's Undying Body ability, but with more diverse functions. What Hundred Flowers obtained is a low-profile version.
Whether it's the effect of the functions or the types, it's far inferior to the original. But for enemies below the Great Wizard level, it can be said to be a small "dimensionality reduction strike."
Levi:
"Your [Water Origin Undying Body] is more than enough. How many Ninth Ring powerhouses are there in the world?"
Elena smiled.
"In the future, when I go demon hunting, you don't need to worry. I can completely protect myself."
Levi nodded.
"Are there any other changes?"
Elena said:
"All nine of my innate spells have been enhanced to some extent, but the degree of enhancement doesn't feel as good as your Fire Dragon Tribulation. It may be because the effects of the Sun Flare strange object were diluted by the quantity."
"Possibly. That's still very good. There are gains and losses," Levi comforted.
He only strengthened one spell, while Hundred Flowers strengthened nine. Compared to that, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
Hundred Flowers then showed Levi her now complete [Water God Projection]. Like a law-manifestation-of-heaven-and-earth, a three-thousand-meter-tall blue-robed phantom protected her from behind, its power even stronger than Hundred Flowers' current Wizard Form.
Finally, she summoned her symbiotic spirit creature, the [Heavenly Water Ray].
This was obtained from refining the [Joy of the Water God] before. After continuous strengthening, this ray fish is like the legendary giant Kun, with a wingspan of nine thousand meters, like a floating continent in the void.
The ray fish's eyes are azure blue, exceptionally lively, as if it were about to come to life.
In terms of level alone, the current quality of this ray fish is still above Levi's [Si Lei], but Levi's cultivation is higher, and Si Lei's strength is still stronger than this ray fish.
Judging from the God-level Sequence strange objects that he and Elena refined, no matter how many components there are, only one kind of symbiotic spirit creature can be born.
It may be born in the small pieces, or it may be born in the large pieces. But the final result is the same.
As long as the Sequence strange objects can be completely collected, a complete symbiotic spirit creature and a projection of an elemental god can be obtained in the end. [Thunder God] and [Si Lei], [Water God] and [Heavenly Water Ray].
The God-level Sequence strange objects of other elemental factions must be the same.
It took hundreds of years, with the dual means of himself and Hundred Flowers, to barely achieve the complete Water God Sequence. Other Wizards can't even imagine this kind of difficulty. Being able to collect a King-level Sequence strange object in the Bloody Battle era is already very good.
Hundred Flowers' breakthrough deserves celebration.
Celebration helps relieve fatigue and release stress, and is definitely the best choice for rest.
More than ten days later.
Exhausted, Elena lay on her side next to Levi, covered in fragrant sweat.
Levi said:
"You should consolidate your realm well next. Go demon hunting after advancing to the Eighth Ring. Anyway, there are no more Water God strange objects you can exchange for in the Bloody Battle Shop. The remaining Water God Sequence components all depend on luck."
Elena breathed slightly and said:
"I understand. After having the Water God Body, my plan for the future is clearer. I'm also confident in advancing to the Great Wizard level. Thank you."
After a few days of tenderness, Levi put on his clothes and left Summer Flower Tower, still full of energy, feeling pleased.
"This [Adamantine Secret Word] is truly wonderful..."
Elena watched Levi, who seemed tireless, and felt as though she was the one who had been emptied.
She lay quietly in bed, contemplating her future plans.
First, stabilize her rapidly increasing mental strength. During this time, she could focus on cultivating the Qi Sect and Knightly paths, complementing her essence, energy, and spirit for harmonious unity.
Second, complete the refining of her Wizard Tower in one go, possessing a defensive and offensive treasure to protect her life and aid in escape.
Third, learn more advanced alchemical knowledge from Lucy and Triss. The current project of the [Witch Mark Reversal Potion] was an excellent opportunity.
Fourth, imprint Wizard Marks.
Once the Witch Mark Reversal Potion was created, she would scatter her marks, rebuild, and do it all over again. Fifteen marks would be more than enough, and she might even try for twenty-two.
Her ever-increasing Lifespan was her greatest asset. Not to mention, she also had the combination of [Child of Water Element] + [Water God Body]. Even a reincarnated Legendary Wizard might not have better conditions than her.
Fifth, collect physique-enhancing Bloodline Crystals, striving to evolve her breathing technique to the Mythic level before advancing to the Eighth Ring. Higher quality bloodlines meant higher Lifespan bonuses.
She now had Levi's secret technique providing a one hundred percent increase, so she had to fully exploit her Lifespan advantage. To stay with Levi longer, this was even more necessary.
If conditions allowed, Bloodline Crystals from those with long Lifespans would be ideal.
Turtles, clams, trees... Legendary creatures associated with these were generally suitable.
With layers upon layers stacked, her Lifespan would inevitably reach a terrifying level.
Through years of cultivation, she realized that she was the type who might not reach the peak in every field, but excelled in multiple areas.
Qi Sect, Knight, Wizard.
These professions influenced and promoted each other. With a long Lifespan as her foundation, she would choose whichever path opened up first when advancing to the Legendary level.
"Too tired, I should get some sleep."
She closed her eyes, entering a dreamland with a smile.
One year later.
Nora Calendar 801.
Bloody Battle Year 590.
Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Levi woke from meditation, placing his hand on the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Mental Strength: 17666/25550]
"I'm getting closer and closer to being a seasoned Eighth Ring Wizard. When the Ancient Tower returns next time, it should be about right."
He opened the Proficiency Panel.
Through years of honing, [Thousand Thunders] and [Eight Directions Raging Sun] were not far from the Nineteenth-Order, the limit of the Eighth Ring, it should be done in about a century.
After reaching the Eighth Ring realm, the difficulty of these Sequence spells began to skyrocket, after all, they were supreme techniques that directly pointed to the Legendary realm.
[Small Disintegration Art] was also at the Eighteenth-Order, still quite a distance from the limit.
[Theodore's Sound Barrier] was at the Seventeenth-Order. When stacked on the Shadow Dragon Multitude, even a Fifth Ring shadow could withstand attacks from the Primal Soul. It was an extremely useful team battle spell.
[Sea God's Armor] was at the Sixteenth-Order, already capable of compressing seawater within a radius of dozens of miles into armor. The mass of such armor was so great that space was distorted.
[Changing Seas and Fields] was at the Sixteenth-Order. For sixty years, the first thing Levi did every day was to practice casting on the Ancient Dragon Continent.
After measurement, the continent's area had increased by one percent. This was only at the Seventh Ring level. After reaching the Eighth Ring, the speed of land reclamation could be further improved.
After reaching a higher Wizard realm, he could also control the precision of land reclamation, for example, preserving waterways, lakes, and oceans in some areas.
This would make it easier for him or members of the organization to cast Ocean Faction spells, or Water Escape spells. It wouldn't be good if it was all land.
Finally, [Sea Delta] was also at the Sixteenth-Order level.
In front of Levi, there were two more Crystal Balls.
One was [Eight Directions Thunderclap], and the other was [Falling Snow Without Trace], both Eighth Ring spells, and both were of excellent quality. The functions of these two spells were very simple.
The former centers on oneself, using spells to conjure eight Thunder Shadow Clones within a ten-thousand-mile radius. The clones are identical to the original, making them difficult to distinguish.
The original can choose any of the Thunder Shadow Clones to merge with at will, manipulating all the clones to flee in eight directions, thereby confusing the enemy and preserving one's life.
This is also the Eighth Ring realm's "Thunder Escape Technique," the Thunder Faction's signature life-saving spell.
Levi had seen World-Extinguishing Thunder cast it in the projection. If even a reincarnated Legendary Wizard is using it, it must be good. Choosing it is definitely right.
"Falling Snow Without Trace", on the other hand, is an "Ice Escape Technique." In a snowy environment, it allows one to vanish instantly and teleport through the ice and snow to any area within ten thousand miles, making a swift escape.
Previously, Levi had also learned the four major escape techniques: "Fire Jump", "Ground Shrinking Inch", "Unfixed Drifting Wind", and "Using the Sea as a Boat".
These spells, in the Wizard world's classification, are collectively known as "Elemental Teleportation Arts."
Their teleportation principle differs from the method of void traversal, belonging to the advanced application of elements.
Therefore, conventional means of sealing the void cannot control elemental teleportation spells.
Having mastered these six major spells, Levi has essentially achieved all-terrain escape methods, which can complement void traversal and the [Formless Secret Word].
Only in this way can he be safe and worry-free.
Before long, Levi mastered these two spells, imprinting a total of 9 Wizard Marks.
Now, the Nightmare Dragon Breathing Technique is also nearing its limit, and the Nightmare Dragon Clan is still nowhere to be found. Levi plans to wait about a century after reaching the limit.
He doesn't plan to mix in the Bloody Battle battlefield recently. The Ancient Dragon Continent is safe enough. Although a hexagon is more perfect, a pentagon is definitely sufficient.
"Speaking of which, A'Ya has been gone for six hundred years. When he left, I was still a Sixth Ring Wizard, and now I'm an Eighth Ring, but he hasn't returned. This kid really knows how to wander."
Looking at A Jin sleeping in his mind, Levi couldn't help but think of the wandering A'Ya.
"The Spider King has also been mixing in the Darkness Zone near the Scorched Rock World for nearly three hundred years. I'll go see him after this seclusion, inspect his work, and also catch a few Amethyst Clan members. My Wizard Tower now has some of all kinds of rare metals, but no Amethyst."
Some Amethyst occasionally flows into the market, but the quality is generally poor, not enough for refining a Wizard Tower, and it's hard to get.
"Dragon King, Little Grey seems to be undergoing tribulation." The Black Lotus Beast's figure emerged. Little Grey is the Dragon Palace members' affectionate name for the Ash Dragon.
Levi's expression shifted. He had to go see the tribulation of a legendary dragon clan, which might inspire him in the future of his Knight's Path.
Flame Mountain.
"What terrifying power."
"Yeah, it's much bigger than when we advanced to the Sixth Ring."
The mighty and majestic dragons hid far away in the mountains, watching the central volcano.
A giant gray-black dragon exuding high temperature and ash flapped its wings, looking up at the sky.
Rolling ash poured into the sky like a torrent, accumulating to form boundless dark clouds, spreading across the heavens and earth.
Levi's figure appeared.
"As expected of a legendary dragon clan."
The sky darkened, and shadows enveloped the earth.
The vicinity of Flame Mountain was all black, white, and gray, with no other colors.
Levi's expression changed.
"This is a sign of the Ash World's descent. Is this the Ash Dragon's tribulation?"
At the same time.
The Ash World of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
Windmill Village.
The silver-armored swordsman Owens, who was sitting withered under the big windmill, raised his head, his calm gaze becoming joyful.
"Ash Lord."
The corrupted beings born from the Ash World all raised their heads. They were terrifyingly shaped, deformed, and more frightening than the Nightmare Creatures native to the Nightmare World, exuding an ominous aura of death, contaminating all life.
They all rushed towards the Flame Mountain world, overwhelming and countless.
Owens murmured.
"Finally, an Ash Lord has been reborn. This fragmented world is saved."
His body disintegrated, turning into a silver light, radiating a completely different vitality, dazzling and bright, flying towards the Flame Mountain.
If the "Ash World" of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is the inner world, then the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is the outer world.
At this moment, the Flame Mountain in the outer world is a scene of doomsday.
The space around the Ash Dragon was like two colliding mirrors, one colorful and the other black and white.
Cracks spread everywhere.
In the black and white world, all the corrupted beings gathered into an evil behemoth thousands of meters tall, exuding the aura of a Sixth Ring intermediate stage.
"The calamity of the pure-blooded Dragon Clan doesn't involve the Lord of Blood Tribulation... Well, who would inflict calamity on themselves? The difficulty of this kind of calamity is much more terrifying than the Three Calamities and Four Tribulations of most Wizards. But correspondingly, although the Ash Dragon has just entered the Sixth Ring, its combat power is not comparable to that of Wizards. Overall, the difficulty is not high."
Before long, the Ash Dragon tore the evil behemoth into pieces with its world-destroying dragon breath and flames, scattering gray crystals all over the ground.
The Ash Dragon easily passed the calamity, and the ashes in the sky poured into its body, its aura constantly strengthening, and finally stabilizing its cultivation at the early stage of the Sixth Ring.
A silver light also entered its body, which Levi also noticed.
"That was Owens corresponding to the Ash World from the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm."
His heart stirred, and a Gold Coin flew out.
"Unbowed Silver Seat - Owens!"
An Owens exuding the aura of the Seventh Ring appeared out of thin air and asked, "What's the matter? Why have you been summoning me so frequently lately?"
Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
This Owens was still there.
"It's nothing, you can go back."
Owens looked at Levi suspiciously, and then was startled by the Ash Dragon.
"It's at the Sixth Ring."
Owens slowly dissipated, and before leaving, his eyes showed a glimmer of hope.
Levi then re-entered the Ash World, wandering and inspecting the gray-white Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm.
"All the corrupted beings have disappeared."
Finally, he went to the location of Windmill Village.
Windmill Village was also gone, empty.
The world was desolate, with only him and... a dragon.
"This place is normal."
A childish yet ancient voice came.
It was the Ash Dragon.
Levi smiled:
"Has Your Excellency recovered your memories?"
The Ash Dragon shook its head.
"The memories of my previous life have only recovered a little. Most of them are from this life. I only know that my name is Buryus Caicedo. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Levi said, "You're welcome. It's a win-win situation."
From beginning to end, he had not used enslavement or Dragon Might on the Ash Dragon. It was only hundreds of years of companionship that made the Ash Dragon, before advancing to the Sixth Ring, dependent on him.
Levi asked:
"Do you know what's going on in the Ash World? I seem to have seen your previous life killed by a Tenth-Order expert from the Nightmare World."
The Ash Dragon asked, "How much do you know about ancient events?"
Levi shook his head.
"Wizard civilization evolved from the unsystematic spellcaster civilizations of ancient times. There are no corresponding historical records of events before the ancient era; much of it consists of mythical legends of dubious authenticity or archaeological discoveries."
Every civilization has its own system of dividing eras. For example, Wizard civilization uses the establishment of the council as the end of the Nora ancient era, while the division between the remote past and the ancient era is more vague. No one can clearly explain the events before these civilizations were born.
Ash Dragon said:
"In my inherited memories, there is some information about the remote past that may answer your questions. In years so distant they are difficult to trace, the current Nora human race had not yet been born. The rulers of the entire Sauron Multiverse, and even the wider Multiverse, were the Giant civilization."
Levi said, "I know that. Frost Giant Ymir was the ancestor of the Giants, and he once led the Giant race in a failed rebellion against the heavens, which directly led to the decline of the Giant race. Now, they are like pearls hidden in the sea, difficult to find, leaving only some bloodline descendants."
This is the more mainstream view formed by Wizard civilization's research into the history of the Giant race, and the current Frost Witch Gulveig may be a bloodline descendant of Ymir.
Ash Dragon was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, roughly. The fall of the Giant civilization is generally recognized throughout the Multiverse as the end of the remote past. But before the Giant civilization, do you know what civilization dominated the heavens and earth?"
"The Dragon race?"
"Yes, as innately powerful beings, dragons also once established a strong civilization, an era of dragon prosperity. Among them, the most powerful were two dragons, Bloodshadow Dragon King - Odysseus and Star Dragon King - Ogrian. They were brothers, the joint rulers of most of the mythical dragon races of the Dragon Era, and their strength was so great that many gods feared them."
"Did they reach Seventeenth-Order?"
"I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no. This period is too long ago, and what has been passed down are only fragmented memories, like a tangled mess, difficult to sort out. But I think they should have reached it. Many of the negative energy-related legendary dragon races of later generations—death, shadow, darkness, blood, etc.—are related to Bloodshadow Dragon King. And positive energies like flame, light, earth, and Thunder are related to Star Dragon King."
Levi pondered.
This information from Ash Dragon was similar to the knowledge about Bloodshadow Dragon King that he had obtained from Luo Wei.
Luo Wei had obtained it from the ancient Blood Clan, and the mutual corroboration suggested it was true. Following the usual pattern of such legends, Levi asked:
"Did these two brothers become enemies?"
Ash Dragon looked surprised.
"How did you know?"
Levi smiled and said:
"I guessed."
Ash Dragon said:
"Yes, the two brothers were too powerful. The Multiverse territory they conquered leading the Dragon race was larger than the Giant Empire, and far surpassed the current Sauron Multiverse...
Of course, it's not because the Wizard Ancestor Sauron was weak, but compared to the long-lived Giants and Dragons, Sauron, though strong, was only a flash in the pan before disappearing.
But the dragons had enough energy and time to conquer the Multiverse, and tens of thousands of races, including so-called large civilizations, trembled under the overwhelming dragon flames.
This period is called 'The Double Dragons' Expedition' by some ancient dragons. It lasted until the two Dragon Kings reached their old age, when they had a disagreement, the reason for which is unknown.
Later, the two Dragon Kings and the dragons they led ultimately engaged in an earth-shattering battle, destroying countless planes. This battle lasted for ten thousand years.
The final result was that Bloodshadow Dragon King fell, and after his death, the surviving ancient dragons devoured him, giving birth to many of the first generation of negative energy dragon races.
Star Dragon King won, but paid a heavy price. He went mad for some reason.
His consciousness began to split, eventually becoming two beings, one being the Star Beast and the other being the King of All Dragons. You should know the fate of these two beings."
Levi's expression changed slightly.
He looked up at the starry sky.
"These two chose to become gods? Became deities?"
Ash Dragon said, "Yes."
Levi was shocked.
He didn't expect that two of the Seven True Gods came from one dragon. No wonder the relationship between the Lord of the Stars and the King of All Dragons seemed pretty good. During the Demon Tide revival, the Church of the Stars and the Dragon God Church even joined forces against the enemy. It turned out they were both Star Dragon King's alter egos.
To be able to become top figures among the Star Realm gods after splitting into two, Star Dragon King must have been infinitely close to Seventeenth-Order, or even Seventeenth-Order.
As his strength increased, Levi understood that although the Seven True Gods Churches were very weak in the mortal world, the Seven True Gods were by no means simple. Otherwise, Sauron wouldn't have needed to make a treaty with the Seven True Gods back then; he could have just killed them directly. He was a Seventeenth-Order powerhouse.
He said, "Perhaps the two Dragon Kings' disagreement was inseparable from the Star Realm. Those high and mighty gods are better at bewitching people than devils, undermining enemies from within."
Ash Dragon said:
"That may be one reason. The Double Dragons were too strong and too reckless. Many of the planes they conquered were the faith lands of the Star Realm gods, which they would not allow others to touch."
Levi said, "What does all this have to do with the Ash World?"
The Ash Dragon said:
"This involves another possible reason for the Double Dragons' split. In countless past life memory fragments, I once visited a wise being among the dragons, one who might be even more erudite than your Legendary Wizards."
Levi was somewhat skeptical.
The Ash Dragon said:
"This wise being was a Time Dragon."
Levi believed it.
Time Dragons, also known as "Dragons Who Control Time" or "Dragons Who Sleep in the Ages." With his current level, he wouldn't dare to understand or speculate about such beings.
They are mysterious and powerful, existing only in a few words in Wizard texts. Throughout history, no one has ever truly seen one, including Legendary Wizards.
Time Dragons exist in a different dimension from ordinary creatures. Some say they live in conceptual time, so the masses can never observe them, unless you can see the ethereal River of Time.
Seeing is believing. Whether Time Dragons truly exist is still debated in academic circles. From the Ash Dragon's words, it seems highly likely they do.
If Levi were to publish a paper on this tomorrow, it might cause a huge stir in the Dragon School and even the Wizarding world.
The Ash Dragon said:
"In fact, very few dragons have seen or know of Time Dragons.
I was fortunate enough to see a Time Dragon appear before me because of my constant reincarnation. As a dragon who controls time, it has lived longer than any other dragon.
And as a neutral and wise observer, it witnessed the history of the Dragon Era and the Giant Era, and then discovered an astonishing secret.
Whether it was the Double Dragons' Expedition or the Giants' God-Slaying, in these two seemingly unrelated long eras and histories, there was a vague Shadow that ran through it all. The Time Dragon called it Mr. Phantom."
Levi frowned slightly.
"Even the Time Dragon couldn't see its true face?"
The Ash Dragon said:
"Yes, this Shadow is equally mysterious and powerful. The Time Dragon guessed that the destruction of the two powerful civilizations of dragons and giants may have been caused by this Shadow."
Levi asked:
"Is it the Shadow Lord in the Star Realm?"
The Ash Dragon shook its head.
"Although that one calls himself the Shadow Lord, he is nothing in front of the Time Dragon. Even the powerful Double Dragons never dared to challenge the Time Dragon.
In the twilight of the Giant civilization, that shadow appeared and disappeared again. In the years that followed, in the late ancient era, a powerful being was born in the Multiverse.
Its true name is unknown, but it called itself the 'Ultimate Creation' and the 'Ancestor of All Spirits,' and its strength was comparable to that of the Double Dragons and the ancestor of the Frost Giants, perhaps even stronger.
It was ambitious and wanted to complete the great cause that the two civilizations had failed to accomplish, continuing to lead many powerful beings on an expedition into the depths of the Multiverse, until it ruled the Multiverse.
But this inevitably violated the interests of the Star Realm, and even the neutral Netherworld. After another indescribable battle, this Ultimate Creation also fell.
The Time Dragon suspects that this Ultimate Creation is inextricably linked to that Shadow. Some beings in the behemoth worlds such as the Star Realm have also observed the Shadow.
And the thing most closely related to the Shadow is undoubtedly the Shadow World of the ancient era. The Shadow World reflects the Multiverse, absorbs the dark side of the planes, and continues to expand.
If it continues to expand, even those behemoth worlds may be shrouded in shadow.
Therefore, the super war that completely ended the ancient era broke out. It was a battle that even the Time Dragon did not dare to observe casually. The battle process is unknown. The result was that the Shadow World was shattered.
Various terrifying forces simultaneously penetrated this world, ash flew, and there was no more life.
Since then, the connection between the Shadow World and the dark side of the planes was broken, and it continued to weaken and collapse.
Only those independent dark sides remained, attached to the Multiverse, lifeless.
These dark sides are the Ash Worlds.
Separated from the Shadow World, the Ash Worlds began their own evolutionary path, and many Ash Lords emerged as a result. I am one of them. The dark side from which I was born is the dark side of Nora. You should also be aware of the subsequent Nightmare invasion."
After listening, Levi's expression was thoughtful.
"All of this, you heard from the Time Dragon?"
The Ash Dragon nodded, somewhat proudly.
"These secret histories, throughout the Sauron Multiverse, those who know the truth are few and far between. Ordinary historians can only catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in their entire lives. Only the Time Dragon can describe it relatively completely."
Levi smiled:
"Then thank you for telling me."
The Ash Dragon hesitated for a moment and said, "The reason I'm telling you is actually because of the Time Dragon. Do you know when the last time the [Shadow] appeared?"
Levi guessed something in his heart.
"Please enlighten me."
The Ash Dragon said solemnly:
"At the end of the Nora's ancient era."
Levi was suddenly shocked.
"Wizard Ancestor Sauron?"
The Ash Dragon shook its head.
"I don't know. The Time Dragon didn't say. Maybe Sauron is also related to that Shadow. Who knows? Over the years, I've also heard from the Ageless Holy Grail and the others that you are Sauron's destined person. Whether it's true or false, you have the right to know these things. Just take it as a reward for saving my life."
Levi didn't expect that he would be involved in so many secrets just by casually asking about the origin of the Shadow World.
What exactly is that [Shadow] behind the scenes? The Double Dragons, the Ancestor of the Frost Giants, the Ultimate Creation, the Wizard Ancestor... what is the connection between these? He suddenly wanted to understand these things urgently, and really wanted to find the Time Dragon to ask in person.
But he didn't know if the Time Dragon was still around or if it had fallen. Even if it was still alive, he wouldn't be qualified to see it.
"It's still about strength. When I step into the Legendary realm, maybe I can unlock these secrets."
Levi asked:
"What are your plans for the future?"
The Ash Dragon said:
"I have already absorbed the will incarnation of the dark side of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, which is Owens in your words, and now I have become the young [Ash Lord] of this Ash World.
You can understand it as another form of Plane Dominator. From now on, my growth will be closely related to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm. The stronger it is, the stronger the dark side is, the stronger I will be. So I won't leave. In the future, Mana will be the master of the positive side of the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, and I will be the master of the dark side."
Levi said, "I see. So, the Owens just now was the will incarnation of Nora's dark side? How can Nora's dark side be saved?"
The Ash Dragon shook its head.
"With your current strength, you are still far from it. Nora's dark side is one of the main battlefields for the Nightmare invasion. The Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm is purely a small fry that was affected because it was close. So after I survived the tribulation, I purged it. To save Nora, at least have Legendary strength before considering it.
However, as the will incarnation of Nora's dark side, Owens will not die so quickly.
And I suspect that your Legendary Wizards should also be fighting against the Nightmare power of Nora's dark side.
The dark side is not necessary for a plane, but if it is missing, it will also lose some completeness.
If it were in ancient times, relying on the connection between the dark side and the Shadow World, rapid plane travel could be achieved, just like Star Realm travel. Now it's not possible. Between the various dark sides, only some weak symbiotic connections remain, and they have long been isolated from the world."
Levi asked:
"Is there any possibility of repairing the Shadow World?"
The Ash Dragon said:
"There shouldn't be. I think the Star Realm will be the first to not allow the Shadow World to be repaired."
After the Ash Dragon finished speaking, it began to sleep to recover its strength. It still had to be vigilant to prevent the Nightmare power from seeping in again.
Levi didn't disturb it.
He returned to the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, looked at the Dragon Palace members who were confused, and smiled: "Disperse, tonight we will hold a banquet to celebrate the Ash Dragon's promotion to Sixth Ring, ranking among the [Heaven Ember Dragon General]."
With the Ash Dragon's promotion, the early veterans of the Dragon Palace, except for the mixed-blood dragons whose bloodlines were limited, all other Dragon Spawn and pure-blood dragons were promoted to Sixth Ring.
Time passed.
Although he knew those secret knowledge, Levi didn't worry about it unnecessarily.
That would be meaningless. Grasp the present, and continue to cultivate and become stronger step by step.
This day.
While practicing spells, a servant reported that a distinguished guest had arrived. It was actually a Great Wizard. Hearing the name, Levi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred slightly.
"Golden Walker."
In the reception hall.
"Lord Florio, what brings you to the Ancient Dragon Continent?"
Levi asked with a smile.
The blond Wizard before him had deep eyes, and his mental power was as vast as the sea, with faint flashes of lightning in his pupils.
The Golden Walker smiled and said, "I have long heard of the Twilight Hall Master's great name, a peerless genius unmatched throughout the ages. Seeing you today, you truly live up to the reputation."
Levi modestly said, "It's not worth mentioning. Whether I can advance to the Ninth Ring is still unknown. If you have something to say, please be direct."
The Golden Walker was taken aback, then chuckled:
"Decisive and swift, good. I admire young people like you the most. I heard that the Hall Master has sheltered Louise and that group of Ancient Tomb Clan. Is this true?"
Levi said, "Yes, these alien races have all been registered and have Nora residence permits. My Ancient Dragon Continent has also completed the relevant procedures, personally handled by the Vast Sea Traveler. Could it be that the Golden Walker, as the Deputy Director, is unaware of this?"
The Golden Walker smiled, "Of course I know. I have some things I want to discuss with Louise in person. I wonder if the Hall Master can bring Louise here? I'll leave after I've spoken with her."
Levi didn't hesitate and said, "I have no problem with that, but it depends on whether Louise agrees. Let me ask her."
As he spoke, he sent a message to Louise, and even showed it to the Golden Walker.
[No.]
Louise's answer was simple.
The Golden Walker's heart turned cold, but his smile remained warm.
"Please tell her that I am speaking with her in my capacity as a high-level official of the Alien Race Affairs Bureau, and I need her to cooperate with my investigation."
Levi asked, "What are the matters for inquiry? Do you have an investigation warrant? If the inquiry is conducted in the Ancient Dragon Continent, I think Louise will cooperate."
A trace of killing intent flashed imperceptibly in the Golden Walker's heart, and then dissipated, but Levi, with his keen senses, still caught the old fox's psychological change.
"Hall Master, another distinguished guest has come to see you."
"Who is it?"
"Daydream Believer - Freud."
Levi's expression changed slightly, and even the Golden Walker opposite him couldn't help but change his expression.
"What is a Legendary Wizard doing here?" The Golden Walker quickly pondered.
Levi was equally puzzled. He said helplessly, "How unfortunate. Lord Florio, do you have anything else? If not, I'll go and receive the Legendary Wizard first."
The Golden Walker smiled slightly.
"It's nothing, I'll go back first."
He transformed into a Golden Lightning, instantly disappearing from the Emperor Palace without a trace.
On the square in front of the Emperor Palace, a figure wearing glasses and a brown coat, looking very simple, looked up at the disappearing Golden Lightning, silent and speechless.
Levi hurried out and performed a grand salute:
"Senior Freud's visit, I have failed to greet you properly."
He had just addressed the Golden Walker as an equal, because he felt that this person was not worthy of being called a senior, but when facing a Legendary Wizard, he had to be respectful and not careless.
Freud smiled slightly. He was also accompanied by two figures, namely the Illusion Wind Walker and the Dream Moon Walker.
"Let's go inside and talk. Mr. Levi, you don't have to call me senior. As fellow pursuers of truth, I believe knowledge has no seniority."
He spoke very politely.
"Alright, Mr. Freud."
Council Chamber.
Florio took a sip of tea and got straight to the point:
"I heard that Your Excellency Levi has a method for exploring the Nightmare World. Dawn Tower also has a branch of the School of Dream Weaving that is developing quite well, so I came to visit."
Levi said, "To be honest, most of the knowledge of this School of Dream Weaving comes from the inheritance of Mr. Freud's Dreamland Spire.
I do have a method for exploring the Nightmare World, but because my current ability is limited, if Mr. Freud wants to enter, it will consume a lot of my power."
Florio smiled and said, "I understand. If I guessed correctly, your method of exploring the Nightmare World should come from your Knight Bloodline Breathing Technique."
Levi knew that he couldn't hide anything from a Legendary Wizard, so he admitted it generously.
"Yes."
Florio asked, "May I ask, what is the name of this breathing technique?"
"Nightmare Dragon."
Hearing the name, Florio pondered.
"Nightmare Dragon? To dare to use Nightmare as its name, such a Nightmare Creature is rare."
Levi also knew it was rare.
He didn't know so much at the beginning; the Proficiency Panel named it all by itself.
Florio said:
"As far as I know, the cultivation of Knight Breathing Techniques requires corresponding Bloodline Crystals. Does the Nightmare Dragon cultivation require the crystals of the Nightmare Dragon Clan?"
Levi thought, is there anything this person doesn't know? He's practically a roundworm in my stomach. No wonder he's a ruthless person who came out of the Lost Monarch's labyrinth.
"Yes, Mr. Freud."
Florio smiled and said:
"I would like to make a deal with Mr. Levi. I will provide you with the corresponding Bloodline Crystals and provide knowledge and technical support for your Dream Weaving Academy. When your strength is sufficient, let the members of our Dreamland Spire re-enter the Nightmare World in your way to develop... This time, we want to have a fair game with the Lost Monarch in the years to come."
