Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2760: 566: Bloodline Demon Seed Secret Scripture, Heaven Returns, Third Full-Scale Invasion!

Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...

A fierce confrontation concludes as the Heavenly Will unseals and self-destructs to facilitate a desperate retreat, leaving the Dark Empress questioning the whereabouts of the Heavenly Eye. Ten years later, the Ancient Banyan Fairyland prospers under Levi’s guidance, with his own martial cultivation reaching new heights in the Indomitable Sacred Domain. The Dusk Holy Temple celebrates a historic milestone as the last of the original Eighteen Riders achieves Level 7, marking the birth of the fourteenth mythical bloodline. This era of peace sees the knightly orders flourish, as the veterans prepare to pass their legacy to a new generation of warriors.

Time continues its relentless march, and another two years have slipped away.

It is now the year 1537 of the Nora Calendar, marking the 1425th year of the Great Blood Battle.

At the residence of the Witch’s Family.

Within the Tower Laboratory, Triss shed her research robes, bathed, and dressed in fresh attire. Carrying a handbag, she made her way toward the Pharmacist Association. It wasn't long before a fresh line of potion products received official certification and were introduced to the market.

This time, however, her creations were lethal poisons! Having dedicated six decades of specialization to the Poisonous Faction, her remarkable progress had been synthesized into the "Five Poison Elixir."

The Five Poison Elixir is categorized into four distinct types: the "Snake Potion," the "Centipede Potion," the "Spider Potion," and the "Toad Potion." A fifth variant, the "Scorpion Potion," remains in the theoretical stage and is yet to be revealed.

These concoctions are poisons ranked above the sixth-circle. Each possesses unique properties; for instance, the sixth-circle "Snake Potion" can induce blood coagulation. This makes it exceptionally effective against the Blood Clan or any entities possessing high regenerative traits. Should it be deployed in the localized skirmishes between Wizards and the Blood Clan, its impact would be immense. For practitioners of the Secret Sword Flow, these potions are a godsend. By coating their blades in these toxins, they can easily infect their foes, inflicting massive additional poison damage!

Upon her return to the Ancient Dragon Continent, Triss let out a long sigh of relief after collecting another substantial fee for the exclusive licensing rights. Through years of relentless work and profit-seeking, the staggering debt she owed to Levi was finally nearing repayment.

Since consuming the Thousand-Year Potion, her maximum lifespan had extended to five thousand years. At only two thousand five hundred years of age, she possessed the longevity required to fuel her obsession with research.

While her Cultivation is currently limited to that of an Eight-Ring Senior, her alchemical mastery has earned her the respect of many Grand Wizards within the Pharmacist Association.

With her son Anya now a Seven-Circle Senior Wizard and her grandson Eyre reaching the rank of a Sixth-level Mechanic, she feels her life as a mother is fulfilled. Her remaining goals are to accumulate more wealth and war merits to trade for a Glorious Sun-Grade Oddity, allowing her to advance toward Eight Ring Perfection as quickly as possible.

In recent years, as the plane convergence intensified, the growth of the White Dragon Commerce and the acquisition of Truth Oddities provided many new openings beyond official war merit channels. Triss seized these opportunities to finish the Water King Series. Even though the current enhancements were minor, she believed every bit of progress was worthwhile.

Despite her long life, there remains a significant gap between her and the stress-free Hundred Flowers. Every marginal improvement in her talent broadens the path ahead. With the completion of the Water King Series, a new companion spiritual creature, the "Dark Giant Shark," joined her family. Furthermore, her Sea Emperor Series is now three-fifths finished, while the Sea God Series is three-sevenths complete, still lacking the vital Glorious Sun-Grade Oddity and several Bright Moon Artifacts.

Reaching the Ninth-Circle is no longer a question of ability at her current level; she simply wishes to aim higher and become a legendary alchemist on par with the Thousand Mountains Immortal.

With ambition come dreams. During her sleep, she has even envisioned her future legendary title. Should she reach that height, her Dao will certainly be inseparable from alchemy.

Her initial "Sea Country Series" is still missing its final piece, the Queen Chess Oddity, with no leads found in years. She is aware that Ninth-Circle Wizards can utilize the Creation power of Heaven and Earth to forge custom artifacts, but the price is staggering. She felt too embarrassed to ask Levi for help, knowing she could never afford the debt such an item would incur.

Buzz!

High in the sky, the fabric of the void tore open.

A silver spacecraft with a sleek, sci-fi aesthetic descended, hovering over the Witch’s Family estate. The Rainbow Sword Master sat in the cockpit, piloting the vessel and opening the hatch for the elder in the rear seat—who lived a life free of such worries—to step out.

Levi appeared to be in high spirits. Two years prior, he had taken part in "Aid the Vast Sea," visited the Flora Realm, and secured a bounty from the Spider King. He had obtained over thirty Truth Oddities alone.

"You've returned from your travels?"

"Indeed... By the way, ma’am, I found this Bright Moon Artifact called the ’Purple Heart Poison Scorpion.’ It should be of use to you, so take it and begin your refinement." As he spoke, Levi produced a scorpion-shaped artifact, its translucent form swirling with a purple toxic mist.

"You didn't use the Heavenly Seizing Technique to create this, did you?"

"No, I simply picked it up during my travels."

"That is good then."

Triss accepted the "Purple Heart Poison Scorpion," though she couldn't help but reflect on the tens of billions she owed in foreign debt; without reaching the Ninth-Circle soon, she would never be able to clear her balance.

"On another note, ma’am, have you finished the Sea Country Series?"

"I am still missing one piece. I intend to try and refine it myself once I reach the Ninth-Circle."

"I see. I will keep a lookout on my end as well."

"Thank you."

Seeing Triss’s artifact sets remain incomplete for so long bothered Levi’s sense of order, making him determined to finish them for her as soon as possible.

In truth, the "Purple Heart Poison Scorpion" was something he had refined himself. Not long ago, the Flora Realm had been besieged by scorpion-like zergs corrupted by the Abyss. Levi had slain their Level 8 leader and captured many minions to be purified within the Ancient Banyan Fairyland, adding them to the Insect School’s collection of exotic insects.

Later, by spending tens of billions of Aether Stones and sacrificing a portion of the Demon Army, he successfully forged that zerg leader into this Bright Moon Artifact. To the current Levi, the cost of creating a Bright Moon Artifact was negligible.

After returning to the organization and depositing his spoils from the Flora Realm into the vault, Levi kept a single piece of ancient, dark wood. This was the "Dark Water Poison Wood," a hundred-thousand-year-old Strange Wood discovered in the scorpion zerg nest. He summoned Lord Victor and the Holy Infant, entrusting his Eternal Star Abyss to their care.
