Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2826: Chapter 577: Earth Mother Qi and Mortal Circle!

Nine floors of the ancient tower.

Levi doesn’t plan to undo Ritter’s Black Emperor’s enslavement for now. This person isn’t inherently bad; he just seeks fortune and hasn’t harmed anyone.

If it were Levi, arriving in such an unknown, treasure-filled world, he would likely do the same, or even more ruthlessly.

However, in the future, Ritter is needed to act as a ”guide party” when heading to the Nelarayan civilization, to prevent any unforeseen mishaps during this period, he has to be constrained for now.

Thinking about the Abyss’s current massive invasion of the Multidimensional Plane, Levi felt a sense of urgency... He feared the Abyss might destroy Nelarayan before he could get there.

As for the Golden Sacred Realm, he is not worried for the moment.

Before Earth Awakening left, this civilization had not yet encountered an Abyss invasion. And it’s also very powerful, guarded by a Golden Will, a strong presence not weaker than the Heavenly Will, making it unlikely to be taken by the Abyss in a short time.

While treasure hunting, Levi also gained a deeper understanding of their Beast Tamer path through Ritter, and he has some ideas for improving the Spirit Summoning Faction.

As a former fellow of Sauron, he definitely won’t treat the Nelarayan civilization the same way as handling the Golden Sacred Realm.

Upon returning from this ancient tower, he plans to discuss with the Supreme Council about taking a Legendary Wizard along for an on-site inspection of Nelarayan. This provides the negotiating qualification when facing those two Level 10 Strongmen.

As for the Golden Sacred Realm, its civilization is too aggressive, akin to the early savage expansion of Nora.

As the saying goes, ”One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.” With the ambition of the Golden Will, integration into Nora is impossible...and could backfire at any moment.

Levi thinks it’s best to eliminate them.

Of course, all the above are his excuses; essentially, this group of Golden Absolutes is walking Truth Oddities, and if digested properly, the Ancient Dragon Continent and Nora civilization can advance further.

Ultimately, it boils down to interest.

After comparing Beast Masters with Spiritual Wizards, Levi discovered the biggest difference is that the Beast Master’s Lifebound Guardian Beast quota is not limited to just one.

The five realms of the Beast Master: Profession, Master, Epic, Legendary, Mythical.

The starting point of the Beast Master path is having 1 Lifebound Guardian Beast. Upon advancing to a Master Beast Tamer, they can have a second quota. After advancing to a Legendary Beastmaster, a third quota is unlocked.

That is to say, a Beast Master who reaches Level 9 can actually have three Lifebound Guardian Beasts.

Similar to the Extraordinary Realm, Beast Masters categorize their beasts’ potential into: Ordinary, Elite, Epic, Legendary, Mythical levels.

In alignment with the Dragon Clan, the first two realms are for the mixed-blood dragon clan, then come the sub-dragons, followed by Legendary and Mythical Dragon Species.

For a Beast Master, at a weaker stage, having an elite beast that suffices for a smooth transition to around rank five is enough.

If they are lucky and well-off, before reaching their strength bottleneck, they might encounter an Epic or even Legendary level creature that’s not yet in Complete Body form.

At this time, after unlocking the second Lifebound slot, the Beast Master can replace their beast with a higher potential one, thereby advancing to the next realm.

That’s Ritter’s case; his first beast is just an ordinary Mountain Giant Ape, with a potential upper limit of peak level 5. But after reaching level 5, he explored the largest legacy left by the Tame Ancestor to Nelarayan—the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

Once a Beast Master decides on a Lifebound Guardian Beast, for the rest of their life, except for the added slots, the chosen ones cannot be replaced.

Although a Beast Master gains strength through beasts, they cannot share its long lifespan. Hence, the modified beast path in Nelarayan allows Beast Masters to actively dissolve the contract by permanently losing one Lifebound slot and paying some cost. Transcendent creatures themselves won’t perish.

This is extremely advantageous for transcendent creatures; they attach themselves to the Beast Master for faster growth speeds, and their expanded group breeds more, without the worry of being tied to the lifespan of short-lived species.

In this regard, they are more advanced than Spiritual Wizards.

As Levi knows, the School of Spiritualism Wizards strives for a connection with their Lifebound beast—sharing both honor and losses, their intentions intertwined.

They treat spiritual beasts completely as part of their bodies. The advantage is the unity of body and mind, making it easier to exert combat power. The downside is it’s unfair to transcendent creatures, and many high-potential species naturally do not accept such Lifebound contracts. This is one reason why the School of Spiritualism has been slow to develop.

Before the Tame Ancestor’s fall, he dissolved all his Lifebound Guardian Beast contracts and placed all his life’s collected resources, along with the transcendent creatures, into an independent secret realm away from the Nelarayan World, blessing future generations.

This fellow of Sauron’s should have reached the Level 10 Late Stage Realm, leaving behind an astonishing wealth. The vast secret realm is filled with countless exotic beasts, and Legendary Creatures occasionally appear.

Essentially, this is a low-budget Dark Ancient Tower.

To enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, besides the once-a-century opening during the Mountain and Sea Festival, it all depends on personal luck at other times.

Levi’s analysis suggests the Tame Ancestor must have left a filtering mechanism. It’s unlikely that everyone could enter; it’s probably something he learned from Sauron.

Throughout history, many ordinary Beast Masters have reached the pinnacle by relying on the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, changing their destiny and becoming famous.
