Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3055: 625: Primordial Things
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Levi carefully assigned tasks to the group, specifying the guard positions on the ancient tower's first nine floors and pointing out the chances and treasures available inside.
As lord of the ancient tower, Levi held total command over every surveillance system.
He knew exactly what everyone managed to acquire.
Naturally, he had no desire to seize others' gains.
Yet if something caught his interest, he could trade for it using items of matching or superior worth, sharply boosting his own hunt for valuables.
The lucky draw wheel worked by the same logic,
For Levi, Legendary Artifacts and Supreme Treasures held scant appeal.
Primordial Relics alone mattered to him, and the more, the better.
That alone would give him stronger odds against the Giants!
...A decade flew by.
Nora Calendar 2850, Blood Battle 2738.
Ancient Dragon Continent's appointed tribulation ground.
A curvaceous swordswoman in gleaming silver armor shot skyward, locked in a perilous clash with a colossal red-black beast amid the clouds.
After centuries of groundwork.
The Thousand Illusion Knight at last launched her breakthrough to level 9.
Supreme Bloodline demands immense effort.
Without it, her talents and supplies would have elevated her to level 9 ages past.
Through fierce, grueling combats, the Thousand Illusion Knight unlocked the portals of No Hidden Heaven.
A silhouette stood waiting in the First Layer Heaven.
Levi, the swordsman clad in black armor.
No other level 9 graced the perception dimension but Levi.
Thus, he took on the greeting role himself.
"Congratulations, Thousand Illusions."
"Commander, I’ve done it!"
The Thousand Illusion Knight's locks were in wild disarray.
She heaved for breath, tumbling to the ground while joyfully slamming her fists into the dirt.
The Thousand Illusion Knight described her fresh bloodline to Levi.
Named [Super Dream], it meant "Beyond Nightmare"!
A form materialized: humanoid yet fox-like and human-like, covered in green scales with a serpentine tail.
This manifested the Super Dream's essence.
Utterly unlike the Nightmare Emperor Dragon's regal dominance.
Weird and otherworldly, beyond earthly kin.
The Super Dream commanded potent senses and deceptions.
Its supreme power resided in forging the [Super Dream Space] within.
The Super Dream Space stood as its private domain.
Mirroring aspects of the Nightmare World.
There, illusory entities could be cultivated freely.
Freed from the shackles of mortal dreads and dark sentiments.
Even lovelies, virtues, and benevolence could thrive amid the visions.
Such was the heart of "Super Dream"!
Levi offered genuine awe.
"Excellent, such a Supreme Bloodline! Thousand Illusions, aim to reach supreme!
In the Thousand Illusion Knight's power,
Levi glimpsed fresh paths for Nora's destiny.
A vast "Super Virtual Universe" across the Multidimensional Plane!
Reminiscent of the "Metaverse."
The Primordial Dream Star... better called the Dream Space!
Detecting the commander's faint thrill, the Thousand Illusion Knight felt honored and stunned.
"Commander, can I truly ascend to supreme?"
"Hard work breeds hope always. This universe's riches remain scarce now, yet as cosmic voyages dawn, the Eighteen Riders of Dusk shall join the Nora Expedition Corps, venturing to foreign universes, trading with myriad societies, seizing vast resources.
Then, supremacy lies within your grasp."
"I see."
"Train diligently now, reflect deeply here. I offer a pinnacle level 9 treasure, the [Void Illusion Sword], forged by wizard forebear Sauron, slicing illusion's confusions to unleash your full might."
"Thank you, Commander!"
The Thousand Illusion Knight reverently stored the blade and withdrew to stabilize her new stage.
Levi departed No Hidden Heaven.
"The Great Sun Dragon, Cosmic Light Dragon, Dragon God, Super Dream... Before I knew it, four Supreme Bloodlines exist, plus 36 Mythical Bloodlines altogether.
Doesn't this echo the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang?
The Sea Knight readies to hoist his [Xuan Turtle Bloodline] to supreme; his Legendary Reincarnation base promises victory.
Even "Mythical Second Generation" prodigies, if driven, might chase Supreme Bloodlines, demanding bold resolve and endurance."
The Divine Light Knight boasts fine gifts.
Her prudent ways led her to steady growth.
She entered level 9 recently, now beside Elena in Undying Heaven.
So too the Silver Dragon Knight.
Post-evolution setback, he turned to kin matters.
Lingering at level 8 late stage, level 9 beckons before his span ends.
That suffices.
Mythical heights claim but a select few.
Among Eighteen Riders, elders and mid-generation all claim level 9.
Newer ranks hit level 8 late stage peaks. Even fresh joins like Green Bird Knight and Duke Rumon reach level 8. When all hit level 9, the Riders will shine in epic conflicts.
...
Years raced on, thirty more elapsed.
The congress powerhouses delved the ancient tower deeply.
Treasure yields soared.
Levi bartered for needed goods at fair rates from all.
This day, Golden Walker seemed subdued in Chaos City.
Age etched his face, lifespan waning fast.
He claimed Nine Rings as death loomed.
Life elixirs granted scant over a millennium more.
Nine Rings Perfect strained limits, Legendary far beyond.
He abandoned such dreams.
Daily labors forged a new Nine Rings heir for Golden Lightning kin.
"Golden Walker, what brings you here?"
"Grand Council Chairman, is this what you sought?"
Golden Walker produced a stone radiating icy chill.
The frost shook even his wards.
"Yes, the ten-level divine item, Extreme Cold Divine Gold. What exchanges appeal—lifespan boosters or others?"
Levi asked.
This fellow's efforts pleased him greatly.
A shrewd veteran overall.
"I seek Sun Refining Artifacts, level 9 Thunder Treasures. Ideally a full Sequence Artifact; quantities by your fair market call, Grand Council Chairman."
Golden Walker had planned his ask.
"Done... family loyalty suits you. Sun Refining needs time; return later.
For treasures, take this [Thunder God’s Staff], elite grade, and [Thunderclap Battle Robe], solid choice.
Yours now."
Over years, Levi amassed extras from draws, hunts, foe spoils, stashing for young ones after many gifts.
Perfect timing.
"My thanks, Grand Council Chairman."
Joy lit Golden Walker's face as he bowed out gratefully.
Gazing back at Chaos City, he mused sadly.
"Curse it, I once plotted to slay the Grand Council Chairman."
Thence, Golden Lightning clan launched sweeping reforms.
They purged threats with foul motives endangering all.
Stray rogues still besmirched honor at times.
Yet the path straightened.
Millennia of strife forged endurance; enigmatic backers saved them from doom, secrets unsolved.
Now, "Lightning Family Rulebook"'s prime decree reads:
"[Modesty breeds advance, arrogance downfall], warns the adage—all Golden Lightning wizards must ever show kindness, shun hubris and rashness!"
