“700,000 Aether Stones, just a step away from reaching a million Aether Stones, becoming a millionaire. Exciting,” Levi felt a small surge of excitement within him.
With 700,000 Aether Stones, he could do many things.
Of course, he wouldn’t spend this money recklessly.
On the one hand, he needed to purchase various wizard knowledge.
On the other hand, he needed to prepare for the construction of his own wizard tower.
Building a wizard tower in the true sense was a massive project that required a vast amount of Aether Stones. From construction blueprints, main project materials, to various energy conversion arrays, control arrays, practice arrays, defensive arrays, transmission arrays, spatial arrays, and more, it all required a considerable amount of money and involved various professional fields.
Many wizards subcontracted different parts of their wizard towers to specialized wizard tower construction organizations.
Thinking about building his own wizard tower, Levi immediately had a new goal to strive for.
This was similar to buying a house in his past life; without a bit of pressure, life lacked motivation, and one might as well lie flat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn addition to Aether Stones, there were sspell books in Clay’s storage bags. Following the principle of collecting and enriching his knowledge base, Levi took them all.
Most of them were low-level spells, but what caught Levi’s attention were three third-circle spell crystal balls.
These three third-circle spells were “Water Doppelganger,” “Water Screen Prison,” and “Venomous Body.” Two of them, “Water Doppelganger” and “Water Screen Prison,” were even solidified as innate spells, making them formidable. The last one, ‘Venomous Body,” was a spell that incorporated venom into the caster’s body, enabling toxin-infused attacks.
“Not even a third-circle wizard tool. This old guy is really stingy,” Levi shook his head, unable to help but sigh.
Clay, relying on his powerful physique, didn’t even bother preparing a third-circle wizard tool.
“What’s this?”
In a corner, Levi discovered a rare book cherished by Clay.
“The Tomb of Fireflies.”
Levi looked at the cover; the author of the book was not mentioned. He opened the ancient book, finding a memory slate sandwiched in the first page.
Levi probed with his spiritual force and discovered that the memory slate contained Clay’s reading notes and research logs.
After a quick scan, a pleasant surprise appeared on Levi’s face.
Within the memory slate was recorded a body-refining technique that Clay had created himself.
Named “Mixed Venom True Form,” Clay created this body-refining technique by combining the third-circle spell “Venomous Body” with the knowledge from “The Tomb of Fireflies.”
Clay, with limited elemental talent, aimed to enhance his strength through body refinement.
“The Tomb of Fireflies” was a book Clay obtained in a tomb in the mundane world about three hundred years ago when he was still a mortal. He carried this book into the wizard world, and throughout his life, he researched the Imowledge within it.
The memory slate was the culmination of Clay’s wisdom throughout his life, making it invaluable and his most precious possession.
Through “The Tomb of Fireflies,” Levi glimpsed a whole new world.
It was said that in the Land of Darkness, there existed a plane known as Othar.
This plane once gave birth to a glorious human civilization, similar to the wizard civilization, where noble spellcasters known as Arcanists thrived.
Later, it established a vast human empire that ruled over the entire plane—the Otharian Empire. At its peak, the Otharian Empire boasted several powerful Arcanists comparable to Grand Wizards.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe ruler of the Otharian Empire was even proclaimed the Arcane Emperor, claiming an affinity close to that of a divine being.
Had it continued to flourish, the Otharian Empire might have evolved a comprehensive arcane system, akin to the wizard civilization, progressing to a realm comparable to Legendary Wizards.
However, the glory of the Otharian Empire was short-lived, disappearing due to a catastrophic event. A disaster swept through the empire, brought about by terrifying monsters invading from the Land of Darkness.
These monsters were predominantly insect-like creatures, possessing peculiar and eerie abilities. The Arcanists of the Otharian Empire referred to these insects as “Terror Bugs.”
The Terror Bugs exhibited bizarre abilities, with twelve monarchs among them, known as “King Bugs,” and a singular entity referred to as the “Mother Bug.”
The nascent arcane civilization had not yet fully developed when it was extinguished by the civilization of the Terror Bugs. Although the human civilization of the Otharian Empire left a spark in the subterranean world, the arcane legacy was incomplete, leading to a continuous decline.
In the era of the book’s compiler, most surviving arcanists were comparable to low and intermediate-level wizards. High-level arcanists, comparable to primordial soul wizards, were almost extinct.
Until a prodigious arcanist discovered a new transcendent path.
Bug Luminist, also referred to as the Totemist.
What was a Bug Luminist?
This arcanist believed that onlv Terror Bugs could stand against Terror Bugs.
Embracing these creatures into oneself, harnessing their power to combat them, defined a Bug Luminist.
If one couldn’t defeat the enemy, one could join it.
With the currently incomplete arcane system, there was no doubt it couldn’t contend with the pinnacle of the Terror Bug civilization..
