Chapter 1353 - Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1353: The Inferno of the Red Lotus (5) Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio His thoughts wandered far and wide. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. It was now the Year 1213 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, the Month of Beginning. After the 112th round table meeting, Levi showed the projection of the Blackstone Palace, which had been circulating in the outside world, to the Flower Knight. With her vast experience, perhaps she could glean some insight. “This thing doesn’t seem to be a relic of a wizard. It’s likely from another civilization, though I can’t say for certain which one. The places the Dark Ancient Tower has traversed far exceed the bounds of the Pan-Plane. There’s nothing in this tower that would surprise me. If you’re planning to explore it, be cautious. The unknown is always the most terrifying,” the Flower Knight advised. “Alright,” Levi responded, deep in thought. Over the long years and countless journeys, who knows how many secrets were buried within the ancient tower? After bidding farewell to the Flower Knight, Levi mused, “If only I could live inside the ancient tower… Decades are just too fleeting.” … The emergence of this unknown relic had spread even wider than the incident at Youth Grassland. After all, there was a sixth-level entity guarding that anomaly, and the treasure was just a single Holy Grail. But within this relic, everything remained a mystery. Wizards were particularly passionate about exploring such relics. In the coastal valley, Simon, who had been hiding, grew anxious. “D*mn it, others have found this place too!” He had intended for the Nine Cities Alliance to claim it for themselves, but now that seemed impossible. “Still, maybe this isn’t so bad. No one else knows just how powerful the guardian of this relic is. Let them go ahead and serve as cannon fodder. I’ll just have my people surround the relic from the shadows. When the time comes, whatever they take will be mine. Besides, the emergence of this relic might attract more dragon descendant wizards. Cyrus, Alexandra, Elsie… The more I think about it, the more it seems to work in my favor.” … Sea of Stars, New Fire Dragon Island. [Weapon-Making Proficiency +246] The Holy Infant glanced at the panel, noting the increasing proficiency in his weapon-making skill. During this time, he had reforged and upgraded the Gold Dividing Secret Sword. After infusing it with amethyst, the secret sword had become even sturdier and more resilient. Moreover, its appearance had completely transformed, now glowing with a faint purple light. Even if the Holy Infant used it, no one would be able to discern its true nature. “I’ll call you the Violet Flame Secret Sword,” he said, gripping the sword in his hand. With a single swing, a scorching violet beam slashed through the ground, cutting deep into the earth. “Impressive power.” With a thought, the Violet Flame Secret Sword returned to his pocket. “Haha, top-grade equipment, plus one.” After finishing his work, the Holy Infant made his way to Rust Island. “Master Fire Dragon, are you planning to venture into the ancient ruins?” asked the Rust Dragon Wizard. “Yes, I have to check it out. Who knows, I might gain some benefits,” the Holy Infant laughed. “While you were in seclusion refining your weapons, both the Red Dragon and the Blue Dragon headed there as well. If you go, you’ll have some support… but be careful. I’ve heard that the Nine Cities Alliance has sent a lot of people. The commotion around these ruins seems like someone deliberately spread the word,” the Rust Dragon Wizard warned. “Understood.” After parting ways with the Rust Dragon Wizard, the Holy Infant set off eastward. The Rust Dragon Wizard, on the other hand, headed into the depths of the Sea of Stars. “Now that all the major organizations are focused on the ruins, and the Nine Cities Alliance is at war with the Tomb Clan, this is the perfect time for me to advance to the Primordial Soul stage. I, Mandros, have been cultivating for a thousand years, and I’ve been in the fifth-circle realm for over four hundred years. With a spiritual force limit of 1,060, nine talents perfected, the bloodline of the Ancient Rust Dragon, and seven top-grade wizard tools, I’ve put everything on the line for this gamble!” If not for being stuck at the spiritual force limit, he could have advanced to the fifth-circle long ago. One could say that he had waited nearly a thousand years for this moment. “If I succeed, I’ll be renowned across the seas… and if I fail, I’ll die without regrets!” … West Coast. Deep Blue Organization Headquarters. During a meeting of the Deep Blue Sages, several fifth-circle powerhouses were discussing important matters. “The opening of these ruins is extraordinary, and geniuses from various schools are flocking to it. Although the Eastern Sea isn’t our territory, we should still send some people. Even a small share of the spoils would be a victory.” “Each major organization should send at least one fifth-circle wizard and ten fourth-circle wizards. Agreed?” “Agreed. With such a grand event, I’m sure the Sky Dragon Wizard will show up as well,” said the Golden Light Wizard, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. If he could defeat the Sky Dragon Wizard, his reputation in the Endless Sea would soar even higher. It would also help his family secure a position for him in the enforcement division of the Star Tower. “I’ll represent the Witch’s Family,” said the Snow Lotus Witch. A burly wizard from the Ocean Abyss Alliance spoke up, his face filled with excitement: “This is truly thrilling! After lying low in the ancient tower for over forty years, it’s time to stretch my muscles.” He was Mangang, a Sea Aristocrat and the most talented body-tempering wizard of the younger generation in the Ocean Abyss Alliance. He was one of the few who had successfully practiced the Eight-Armed Demon God Body Tempering Technique. “Since all of you are going, it wouldn’t be right for me, Hades, to stay behind… Haha, poor Van Dis just went into closed-door seclusion and missed out on this grand event,” Hades laughed, brimming with confidence. At the Seven Waters Steeple, the geniuses of Lilith’s Cabin were also eager to participate. The meeting buzzed with excitement. The opening of these ancient ruins promised to be a grand stage.
