Chapter 1871: 0417 Wizard Tower! (Big Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_4 Chapter 1871: 0417 Wizard Tower! (Big Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_4 When I become stronger, I will make a comeback.

Moreover, after taking stock, he found.

Just in terms of the number of sixth-circle, he was stronger than Seven Sins City.

His duplication, Dusk Holy Temple, Tower of Dawn, members from Dragon Palace of Ancient Banyan Fairyland, transcendent creatures… All sixth-circle members put together, gathering twenty people was not a problem.

Especially the Dragon King Whales from the Dragon Palace, always idle, it was time to find them something to do.

Previously, access to the Nightmare World was limited, but now with sufficient quotas, it was entirely possible to bring them along too, since the Nightmare Lord was not limited to just Humans.

Regarding level 7 strength.

He and Hundred Flowers could jointly fight at Level 7 Early Stage without issues.

By also bringing Triss into the fold, it would add another powerful assistant.

The hardest was the Seven Sins City Lord at Level 7 Peak.

After considering, it seems only Ms. Lucy was suitable.

But he and Lucy were not yet familiar to that extent…

“Well, let’s take one step at a time; let’s bring Triss in first.”

Several days later.

Levi finished inventorying the spoils of war from the Crying and Smiling Envoys.

As strong figures from Seven Sins City, the two had quite a few good things on them.

The majority were bizarre materials from the body of a Nightmare Lord.

Eyes, tongues, bones, claws, scales, furs, all were materials above sixth-circle.

The primary attribute of most creatures in the Nightmare World is negative energy (fear), but many also have secondary attributes, which are the usual Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

These materials with elemental attributes are excellent for refining Wizard Tools or crafting talismans.

Levi had someone send it to the Holy Infant in Gondor City.

Among these materials, there was one extremely special kind.

In his palm appeared a pitch-black Tree Core, emitting a familiar aura.

“No wonder the King of Thousand Eyes’s strength plummeted… That old thing’s Tree Core was extracted.”

The King of Thousand Eyes was originally at Level 6 Late Stage and fell to Level 6 Early Stage, nearly perishing, all because of missing the Tree Core.

Likewise for beings like Mana, and other tree-class level six life forms.

There are two critical things.

One is the tree roots, which are equivalent to the human brain and heart; once the tree roots are gone, it’s completely over.

The second is the Tree Core, the essence of a tree, and the hub for energy transmission, akin to the human spine, of utmost importance.

As for ordinary branches and leaves, even if all are lost, they could grow back fairly quickly.

Thus.

This Tree Core is extremely precious; it is top-grade material for refining high-order Witch Artifacts and advanced airships.

Besides, it has another important use.

As the main pillar of the wizard tower, it becomes the hub for energy transfer within the tower.

“In my ‘Eternal Star Abyss Blueprint’, it mentioned a method to refine the Tree Core into the wizard tower’s [Tower Pillar].”

One such method is similar to refining corpse demons, also known as the “Soaking Method.”

It involves using rare metals, materials, fats, etc., through soaking and stewing, to infuse in the Tree Core, reinforcing it to become invulnerable to water and fire, untouched by myriad laws, absolutely perfect.

‘Eternal Star Abyss’ needs four types of Tree Cores, namely [Charred Fire Wood], [Soaking Water Wood], [Bubble Wood], and [Rock Transformation Wood].

These four Tree Cores were originally from ancient, antiquity-era, level six and above tree life forms, which died and transformed into “Natural Strange Wood” due to complex geographical conditions and fortuitous coincidences.

However, “Natural Strange Wood” is something one can come by but not seek.

Therefore, Gargamel created a method to artificially refine Strange Wood from Tree Cores.

“Soaking Method” is one such method, and there are others like “Fire Refining Method”, “Wind Erosion Method”, and “Sand Refining Method”.

Of course, it’s also possible to replace Tree Cores with rare metals and giant beast skeletons to refine the pillars.

Tree Core refined ones are called “Wood Tower”, metal refined are “Iron Tower”, skeleton refined are “Bone Tower”, each with its pros and cons.

Bone Tower has the lowest cost but also the poorest quality. Iron Tower has a high cost but better quality than Bone Tower.

Wood Tower compared to Iron Tower, has relatively lower costs, and after special refining, its effectiveness is not less than that of Iron Tower; both have their advantages and disadvantages.

From this, it’s clear that just sourcing materials could exhaust an ordinary primordial soul wizard.

If a wizard tower is crafted crudely, it loses its purpose.

Rather, it’s better to meticulously select materials to refine another Soul Artifact.

This is why wizard towers were ultimately unpopular.

“As long as I gather three more types of Tree Cores, I could build the main trunk of the wizard tower. This Nightmare Tree Core could also be refined in advance. I wonder if Ayak has procured any good items, it’s been a long time since his last return.”

Levi murmured.

“If possible, using eight types of Tree Cores could build a more complex wizard tower trunk, forming [Octagram Array] patterns within the wizard tower.”

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Frost, Lightning, Metal, then choose one more other attribute.

Obviously, the cost for an Octagram Array is higher.

Levi doesn’t dare to hope for too much.

He isn’t in a rush to refine the wizard tower, taking it slowly, good things come to those who wait.

If he can’t finish within the sixth-circle, then the seventh-circle, eighth-circle… regardless, he’s without a Soul Artifact, yet still unmatched in his realm.

For him, the wizard tower is icing on the cake, not essential.

He can simply work on it alongside his cultivation.

…
Nightmare World.

Seven Sins City.

A large territory, over ten times larger than the Black Dragon Territory.

There stood seven cities and a steeple.

These seven cities, collectively known as “Seven Sins City”, are overseen by the “Seven Sins Generals.”
