The only ones who sensed sothing about the Holy Infant in the dark were Mia and Aya.
"This appearance of mine is good;
little girls simply ignore ... attracting, instead, a bunch of muscly n from the Knights."
Levi said in self-mockery.
He continued his cultivation, leaving it to Mia to pay attention to any developnts at the auction.
Now, his Maximum Soul had reached 39 strands;
one more, and he would be halfway there.
During this period, he had been constantly reviewing materials, searching for ways to speed up the condensation of his soul.
Otherwise, at the current rate, he feared it might take him until the age of four hundred to reach the Primordial Soul.
The pace was already not slow, but it still felt sowhat frustrating.
After all, Hundred Flowers reached Primordial Soul at three hundred years old;
he, as a commander, couldn’t lag too far behind.
...
Two years later.
Holy Brilliance Calendar year 1275, Month of Beginning.
Levi, now 285 years old, was ever closer to the limit with the Golden Snake Breathing Technique.
However, another Bloodline Crystal that t the conditions was still without a trace.
But Levi had already ntally prepared for this.
If he could gather two types of Bloodline Crystals before the limit, then he would evolve;
if not, he would simply advance.
Now, with the Essence of the Immortal Banyan Dragon Bloodline already in hand, finding another Level 6 Essence wouldn’t be difficult.
Bloodline Essence was a renewable resource, while Bloodline Crystals were one-off;
their rarity was incomparable.
Unknowingly.
The World’s First Dragon Tournant, held once every ten years, had already been held three tis.
The Black Lotus Beast had won three consecutive championships without dispute. The runner-up was the Bloodsucking Demon Dragon, but the third place in the dragon selection had changed.
The Faceless Infant Dragon, briefly summoned by Levi, participated in the competition and utterly defeated the Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon.
Its every bodily function and fla flow left the Thunderstorm Wolf Dragon with a psychological shadow...
That day.
Levi condensed his 40th Maximum Soul strand;
he sighed with relief, was calling the task laborious.
With a thought,
Figures floated on the Klein Crystal Ball.
[Spiritual Force: 1640/1700]
[Spell Power: 164,000]
"Within ten years, my spiritual force will reach Perfection,"
Levi muttered to himself.
In the distance, the mountain-like Black Lotus Beast slowly approached.
Its aura had greatly strengthened compared to when Levi had first taken it in.
It had already reached the peak of Level 5;
after cultivating in Ancient Banyan Fairyland for so long, it was just a step away from Level 6.
But that one step was like a heavenly chasm.
To cross it, even for sub-dragons, involved enduring so necessary hardships.
But compared to most wizards, sub-dragons were already fortunate.
After all, they only needed to grow step by step to beco stronger;
this tribulation of advancing to Level 6 was one of the few setbacks they faced.
The Black Lotus Beast said:
"Lord Dragon King, I am going to seclude myself in Fla Mountain. I’m not sure how long it will take, possibly three to five years, or even up to ten years, so I might not be able to serve you during this period."
Levi thought.
It seems the blood drawn from the Black Lotus Beast over these years would be enough for his cultivation for ten years.
"No worries, your advancent to Level 6 is what matters. If you need any help, just let know,"
The Black Lotus Beast expressed its gratitude:
"Thank you for understanding."
The giant beast’s figure went away;
it reached Fla Mountain and stared at the threatening Black-Scale Giant Egg.
"Such a potent Bloodline, it must certainly belong to the pure-blooded Dragon Clan. Once the little one is born, our Dragon Palace will beco even stronger."
The Black Lotus Beast chose an active volcano, leaped into the magma with its over 100-ter-tall body, and ford a giant egg surrounded by flas and magma.
"Level 6, here I co,"
The Black Lotus Beast thought boldly, recalling the days in the ancient tower when Simon and others oppressed it.
If it had the strength of Level 6 back then, who could have suppressed it?
The strongest sub-dragon in history began its ascent!
A year later.
Holy Brilliance Calendar year 1276, Month of Winter.
Fla Mountain.
The volcano where the Black Lotus Beast had secluded itself had now beco an extinct volcano.
Levi stood above, looking down.
"The Black Lotus Beast’s advancent has sucked a land of underground fire dry, justifying its status as the strongest sub-dragon. It looks like it will still take so ti,"
He was eager to see how a sub-dragon would ascend to Level 6.
Imperial Palace.
As Levi continued his cultivation, he suddenly sensed sothing unusual coming from his storage ring.
His expression shifted as he took out a palm-sized Dragon Scale Token.
The token trembled endlessly, its surface pattern of a door emitting a deep black luster, and a small black hole ford in front of Levi in the void.
From the black hole, a decayed scent wafted through, as if a graveyard lay on the other side.
"This token?"
Levi couldn’t help but recall.
Forty years ago, he seed to have obtained this object from a Fifth-Circle Wizard in an Imrsed Ancient Castle, and had never figured out how to use it, eventually forgetting it in a corner.
Unexpectedly, the token had undergone such a transformation today.
"It looks like it might be an admission ticket to a secret realm or Shadow Realm."
Levi had a feeling that with just a thought, he could step into this unknown place.
"I know nothing about this place, should I enter?"
He couldn’t help but hesitate.
Clearly, this vortex existed only for a limited ti;
miss this chance, and there would be no other.
But entering it, his Danger Perception subtly reacted, indicating that this place definitely held risks above Level 6.
Just Level 6 was not a concern;
after all, he had three Level 6 combat powers, and he himself could be considered half a Level 6. But if there were Level 6 Peak or even Level 7 beings, that would be troubleso.
His thoughts spun rapidly.
