Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2991: 609: The Dragon King’s Three Treasures Arrive

I detected two streams of Divine Tree Power, one substantial and one minor, both located in Nora.

The minor one remains vague, so we'll set it aside temporarily. The substantial one clearly belongs to Pandora’s mother tree. It has advanced further by seizing the chance presented by the massive plane integration.

By absorbing it, I could attain the supreme level and emerge as the new Origin Divine Tree. After endless cultivation at the universe's boundary, I've slowly acquired insights into journeying to alternate universes, needing just the supreme power to test those ideas.

Remaining in this universe, even at the supreme level, would bind me to the Star Ancestor’s control, preventing true freedom and ease. It's wiser to explore other realms and pursue new prospects."

Lou Luo Saint King declared:

"Supreme will, are we departing from this universe?"

"Indeed."

"However... however, the laws of other universes may not suit us."

"It's preferable to lingering in this despairing realm."

"You're right; if Nora fails to overcome the Giant, the world stays trapped in its old stagnation, offering no path forward.

Even if Nora miraculously prevails, our distinct nature would ensure those wizards make our existence miserable."

"Thus, dispatch a handful of agents to Nora, and in the midst of this chaotic upheaval never seen before, secure Pandora’s mother tree."

"Affirmative!"

...

"Father, when will we get to explore the Nightmare World?

"Yeah, yeah, I've just heard Uncle Dragon's tales about it, but I've never tried it myself. They claim it's just like diving into a game."

"Once I hit level 9, I want to join the battlefield too."

The three 12-year-old siblings buzzed with excitement inside the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, wandering freely through the Three Realms and leaving their marks everywhere.

Thanks to their esteemed position, the Dragon Clan showered the siblings with exceptional attention, surpassing even their own offspring.

Naturally, Levi refused to let the siblings turn into pampered or arrogant "brats," enforcing strict guidance upon them.

In the days following Elena’s childbirth recovery, she frequently shared Levi’s legendary "exploits" with the three siblings, holding him up as their model to embrace the principle of "Prudence."

As time passed and they matured, the siblings began to wield the level 7 strength flowing within them, and Levi sometimes set up matches for them against level 7 mechanical warriors.

The siblings triumphed fully.

At present, their primary studies focus on breathing technique cultivation and battle skills, along with controlling their innate bloodline abilities, to avoid accidental harm to those around them.

Levi also instructed them in the wizard’s path, and though still youthful, they had already advanced to official wizard status, progressing methodically without haste.

With the knightly foundation in place, the siblings’ starting longevity already exceeds that of primordial soul wizards, granting them plenty of time to refine spells, pursue studies, and build their expertise.

Levi desires for them to develop into focused research talents.

Looking back, ordinary folks in bygone eras toiled in bustling cities mainly to grant their descendants a superior launchpad.

The siblings’ launchpad stands unmatched across Nora.

This represents the legacy of riches Levi has bestowed upon them.

...

Eight years onward.

Nora Calendar year 2320, Blood Battle year 2208.

As a tempest loomed, over recent years the Supreme Council behaved like fervent builders, erecting continent bridges across the surging New Worlds, blazing trails.

Through tireless endeavors, resources transformed ceaselessly into colossal arrays, defensive installations, wizard apparatuses, and precious artifacts, steadily fortifying Nora.

Diverse academies thrived and ramped up war preparations.

Following the Beast Master civilization’s merger, the School of Spiritualism expanded most rapidly, boasting six Grand Wizards now, escaping its lesser ranking and aiming high.

The School of Insects likewise yielded multiple Grand Wizards, commanding the Zerg "Golden Blade Guest" that Levi retrieved from the ancient tower.

Drawing on Dark Insects’ wisdom, successive breeds of Golden Blade Guests multiplied, were cultivated, and refined, joined by various other bugs, forming an initial insect force in Nora.

For smoother oversight, the School of Spiritualism and School of Insects merged into the "Spirit Binder School", where all who command transcendent beings or insects in fights are called "Spirit Binders."

The Spirit Binder School holds a spot among mid-to-low second-tier schools, though it wants a legendary fighter to truly shine independently.

When pinpointing the brightest school of this fresh era, the one aiding Nora Civilization most and reshaping the conflict deepest, none outdoes the "Mechanical School."

It united with the classic School of Alchemy, drew in experts from myriad disciplines, and with congress’s total backing plus the Ancient Dragon Continent’s aid, revolutionized Nora entirely.

Today, over ten Star Castle building hubs exist, with more than five hundred Star Castles operational throughout Nora’s lands, yet still insufficient for the civilization’s demands.

The pinnacle of mechanization resides in the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Via Herman’s crew’s diligence, the old "Sky Dome", "Demon Extermination Shuttle", "Mechanical Warrior", "Swarm Scout"... alongside hundreds of mechanical inventions and control frameworks, edge toward an epic unification never before achieved.

Project title: [Mechanical Heavenly Court].

This forms a colossal fortress network of billions of mechanical units, encompassing scouting, assaults, bombardment, landmass shifting, and numerous other capabilities.

A standard level 9 powerhouse entering this domain would face seamless teamwork from these machines, executing a flawless takedown and resource grab without needing Guardians’ help.

Yet building this vast super system demands more processing might and oversight than the "All Machines are One" stage provides. Herman must elevate!

On that fateful day.

Atop the Mechanical Tower, a spectral form woven from billions of data threads emerged from its metallic frame, rising endlessly, evolving.

The Mechanical Celestial from his level 6 tribulation crossing materialized once more, illusory as a dream, visible yet beyond reach.

Herman scanned his surroundings... Anya, Eyre, Deep Space Wanderer, and fellow associates and companions directed warm, supportive looks toward him.

Levi showed up too, inquiring:

"Tower Master, are you prepared?"

Herman responded:

"I am prepared; I’ve already felt the Heavenly Net’s aura. Should I falter this round, Deep Space Wanderer will continue my efforts."

Levi affirmed:

"Until your return."

For the Mechanical School, attaining level 9 marks a vital milestone. The previous Machine Sage Madison disappeared post-level 9, his fate a mystery.

Herman theorized he might have wandered astray in the Heavenly Net.

This instance, Herman advances boldly.

The uncharted path instills fear.

After parting words to the group, Herman shut his eyes, becoming a ascending will, dissolving into the cosmos, beyond even Levi’s sensing.

Herman endures as the final remnant of Levi’s Gray Tower days.

"It will prevail..." he murmured.

...

"Herman, awaken."

A call roused the Tower Master.

He parted his eyes to behold a breathtaking panorama, thousands of mechanical constructs and vessels able to shatter skies and earth weaving through the starlit void.

Furthermore, godlike entities appeared, colossal mechanical warriors radiating sacred aura, their gazes or hands firing particle beams that vaporized stars in moments.

His consciousness traversed endless visions, ultimately reaching the gleaming silver-white metallic mechanical sanctuary adrift in the void.

Encircling the sanctuary lay orbital bastions rivaling vast worlds, and upon the sanctuary rose a statue spanning thousands of miles.

Beholding its form, Herman’s soul quaked.

"Machine Sage Madison?!"
