Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 171 The Legendary Wizard's Collection!
The method of setting up the "Inverted Eight Trigrams Formation" states that it is a method of setting up an array by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Its defenses should be against cultivators of at least the same level.

A dozen days later, Ronan's Hongmeng already contained a large amount of corpus data.

He understood the entire arrangement method of the "Inverted Eight Trigrams Formation".

The arrangement of the formations, their changes, and so on, are indeed very complex.

However, he could continuously deduce within the primordial chaos and completely master the method of setting up the formation.

What's missing now is the equipment for setting up the formation.

The eight trigrams are Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.

To set up an inverted Bagua formation, one must use objects corresponding to the Bagua.

Moreover, this Bagua object is also a rare and wondrous object of heaven and earth.

It's unlikely to be found in the world of cultivation.

Only in the wizarding world is it possible.

With that thought in mind, Ronan traveled back to the Wizarding World to investigate the wonders of the world that were related to the Eight Trigrams.

……

For the next period of time, in addition to cultivating the Myriad Trees Longevity Scripture and accelerating the growth of his natal tree, Ronan will go to the Kingdom Wizard Academy to exchange ideas with a group of professors.

They wanted to find out some information about rare and wondrous things in the world.

After some time, however, nothing was gained.

One day, while he was practicing his spiritual cultivation in his bungalow, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Ronan was startled awake from his practice.

This was the first time he had encountered something that his mind could not perceive.

"Who?"

Ronan asked, and focused his mind on his natal tree of immortality.

If anything seems amiss, immediately take your natal tree of immortality with you and travel through time.

"I am Lyon."

A low voice came from outside.

And, just the instant Lyon uttered his voice.

Leon's presence is clear in his mind.

Ronan immediately realized that it was Lyon outside the door.

Leon's presence was clear for a moment, then immediately vanished.

Ronan didn't go out himself, but instead conjured a wizard's hand and opened the door.

But outside, he saw a person whose appearance was different from Leon's.

As this person entered the bungalow and closed the door, a ripple immediately spread around him.

This person's appearance and attire changed.

His appearance is exactly like Leon's.

Seeing that Ronan was keeping his distance, Leon said, "Ronan, I did learn something from Dolifa."

As he spoke, he showed Ronan his right palm.

Ronan then saw a bluish-black animal pattern appear on Lyon's right palm.

“Dolifa told me that these are the markings of the ancient harpy,” Leon said.

"It was born after Dorifa infused me with the blood of the harpy."

"With the harpy bloodline, I possess the power of bloodline, which allows me to create illusions."

"The change in my appearance just now was because I used the power of my bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Ronan felt that it could be explained.

After all, once Leon told him about the magical beasts he had seen in glass tanks at the Dolifa Laboratory, Ronan had been paying close attention to the library and archives of the Kingdom Wizarding Academy.

Soon, they learned that one of the magical beasts was the ancient magical beast, the harpy.

However, Ronan never imagined that in just a few months, Leon's ability to create illusions would be so powerful.

His ability to conceal his existence is so great that he can even deceive his own mind.

Perhaps, with this skill alone, he could become a pretty good assassin.

At least, anyone below the elite wizard level can be killed.

You should know that very few of the kingdom's knights are capable of killing elite wizards.

"You were able to get out of the Wizard's Tower?" Ronan asked.

Lyon didn't answer, but instead said, "Come with me."

"Where to?" Ronan asked.

“I’ll take you out of the city to a place where things aren’t going well here,” Lyon said.

After thinking for a moment, Ronan nodded.

Lyon then used his bloodline power again.

Ronan only felt a blur before his eyes, and Lyon's appearance and attire changed back to what they had just seen.

Then, Lyon led Ronan out of Midtown.

Upon arriving in the central city, we rented horses and rode through the largest part of the city, the lower city.

After leaving Triumph City, Lyon and Ronan left their horses with a farmer.

Then, Leon said, "Fly with me."

Ronan nodded.

Immediately, energy particles converged behind Lyon, revealing a pair of wings of light.

Ronan also used "Magnetic Torrent" to soar into the air.

Ronan flew with Leon for about an hour before landing in a town with him.

Lyon led Ronan into a mansion.

He walked into a room, pushed open the door, and saw an old man with white hair, white beard, and white robes sleeping on the bed.

"Who is this?"

Ronan asked.

He used Hongmeng to analyze the old man and found that the old man's power and magic power were very high.

However, his mental strength was zero.

“Dolifa Augustus,” Lyon uttered the name.

"What's going on?" Ronan was surprised to find the kingdom's first wizard, Dolifa, lying here, seemingly posing almost no threat.

Leon immediately recounted how Dolifa had used the Nightmare Stone to kill enemies in the Orc Empire.

He then continued, "After killing the enemy, Dolifa fell into a hallucination, killed for a while, and then fled, disappearing without a trace."

"After bringing the head of the Orcish Empire to the border, I continued my search for Dolifa."

"After inquiring for a long time, I finally found him deep in the mountains of an orc empire."

"But I never expected that after I found him, he would look like this."

“What happened?” Ronan asked.

“I suspect it’s his spirit, or rather his soul, that has entered the nightmare world, and it seems he can’t return,” Leon said.

"After I was implanted with the bloodline of the harpy, I entered the nightmare world with Dorifa many times."

“Each time, we enter in spirit, while our bodies remain in the wizarding world.”

"No one else knows about Dolifa's disappearance for the time being, but if Dolifa doesn't come back, it probably can't be kept secret any longer."

“Only Augustus V would seek out Dolifa. If he did so too many times, Augustus V might become suspicious.”

"Right now, we don't know what Augustus V will do after he suspects Dolifa's whereabouts?"

"Will you continue to keep it a secret, or will you let other wizards come and acquire Dorifa's collection in order to cultivate the next Dorifa?"

"If it is the latter, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

"Dollyfa's collection probably contains knowledge about the Nightmare World. After those wizards see it, they'll probably know why Dollyfa implanted my bloodline."

"At that time, I will most likely be imprisoned and used by those wizards as a rare harpy bloodline fusion user." "Besides, because of Dolifa."

"The family's territory in the southeastern province was able to expand, and resources were concentrated in the family's territory."

"The expansion of territory and the accumulation of resources will undoubtedly infringe upon the interests of others."

"It is very likely that it will also infringe upon the interests of some wizarding families."

"If news of Dolifa's disappearance gets out, other families might retaliate against us."

“Nowadays, our family is not powerful enough, and if we are retaliated against, it will be difficult for us to resist.”

"So, I have an idea."

"We took advantage of the time when Dolifa's disappearance was discovered to bring you into Dolifa's wizard tower."

"Let's see how far we can progress with the resources and knowledge of the Dolifa Wizard Tower, so we can prepare for future crises for our family."

"If possible, go to the Nightmare World and bring Dolifa back."

"Although Dolifa also uses me as a stabilizer in the Nightmare World, at least he is stable in temperament and does indeed supply resources to our family."

"Once he returns, our family will probably be safe."

Ronan was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow upon hearing this.

His worries were Lyon's worries.

What pleased him was that he knew it represented a huge opportunity.

Logically speaking, as the kingdom's foremost wizard, Dolifa should have amassed considerable resources over the centuries.

Surely there must be some wondrous objects in the heavens and earth corresponding to the Eight Trigrams.

Thinking it over, Ronan scanned Dorifa's body with his divine sense, searching for Dorifa's storage artifact.

After scanning for a while, they found that Dolifa had nothing on her.

He looked at Leon: "Did you take anything from Dolifa?"

Upon hearing this, Lyon took out a snow-white ring from his clothes:

“I brought Dolifa back and took his storage artifact first.”

He then handed it to Ronan.

Ronan accepted the call and immediately immersed himself in it with his spirit.

They immediately discovered that this storage artifact had hundreds of square meters of storage space, just like a large warehouse.

Inside, many magical artifacts and resources were hidden, their various colors of precious light shining brightly.

Ronan could already sense the fluctuations of different elements emanating from those magical artifacts and magic stones.

'The wondrous artifact that can set up an inverted Bagua formation has been found!'

Ronan thought to himself, if he could set up an inverted Bagua formation, even if news of Dolifa's disappearance spread...

Their family would be safe if they hid in a secluded place.

"Take me to the Wizard's Tower in Dorifa."

Ronan put away the storage ring and immediately said to Leon.

……

More than an hour later, the two appeared in a street in the upper part of Triumph City.

Upon arriving in the upper town, Leon immediately dropped the illusion disguise.

He was walking around in several places earlier, and if he were seen there as Lyon, it would arouse suspicion.

Because he had hardly appeared since becoming Dolifa's bodyguard.

These days, whenever I go anywhere, it evokes certain associations in people.

Now, he is about to reach the Wizard's Tower and break free of the illusion disguise.

Others would assume he was just strolling around the city and wouldn't overthink it.

Leon then led Ronan into Dolifa's wizard tower.

Dolifa's Wizard Tower has no guards because it is equipped with a restrictive array.

Leon took out a key given to him by Dolifa, and led Ronan inside.

Soon, they arrived at the teleportation array on the first floor.

However, Leon does not know how to activate the teleportation array. Each teleportation array has a corresponding teleportation spell due to its different layout, just like a password set by each person.

Therefore, even though Ronan had a certain understanding of spatial magic and its combinations, he still couldn't use this teleportation array.

Therefore, they had no choice but to walk up to the ninety-ninth floor.

The Wizard Tower of Dolifa has certain restrictions, and no one can fly on it.

Ronan tried several times, but he couldn't fly.

However, both of them already possessed strength levels that far exceeded the human limit.

They climbed these stairs very quickly.

Leon originally thought that Ronan, as a wizard apprentice, shouldn't be physically strong.

But to his surprise, Ronan was able to follow closely behind him.

“Ronan, it seems you’re not as simple as you appear. What happened to you in Triumph City?” Leon asked.

Ronan smiled but did not answer.

Before long, they reached the ninety-eighth floor.

The ninety-ninth floor is where Dolitha kept his books.

The staircase leading to the ninety-ninth floor leads into darkness.

The ninety-ninth floor was originally only accessible to Dorifa himself.

Even Augustus V could only reach the ninety-eighth floor, and when he got to the stairs, he had to call Dolifa to let him in.

After Leon arrived, Dolifa granted him free access to the ninety-ninth floor.

Therefore, as long as he and Ronan are on the ninety-ninth floor, they are safe.

If Dolifa is unable to return to the Nightmare World for an extended period of time.

After Augustus V called Dolifa several times without receiving a response, he became suspicious and may have summoned other wizards to break the ninety-nine layers of restrictions.

That's when they'll be in danger.

However, once they learned of the number of times Augustus V had visited, they would act accordingly.

Upon entering the ninety-ninth floor, Ronan was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

This library of Dolifa is truly incomparable to the library and stacks of the Kingdom Wizarding Academy, or even the library of the True Man Sect.

Rows of bookshelves, like tall buildings, stood before them.

There is a colored skylight upstairs, through which sunlight streams in.

Lyon told me that this window only allows you to look out from the inside.

Moreover, this wizard tower is protected by a restriction that prohibits wizards from flying around it.

This restriction can limit a Level 1 or Level 3 formal wizard to "True Knowledge Wizard".

At the level of a Grand Wizard, although there are still limitations, they can be stopped by a Grand Wizard.

Ronan looked away from the bookshelf and asked, "Where is the resource repository of the Dorifa Wizard Tower?"

What he urgently needs now is not knowledge, but resources.

His "Ten Thousand Trees Longevity Scripture" is at least enough for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as there are enough resources, he can quickly advance in his cultivation.

"Come with me," Leon said, leading Ronan downstairs.

It can be said that basically every floor below the ninety-nine floors has a resource library.

Each resource library contains different resources.

At that time, the laboratory where Lyon implanted his bloodline was considered a bloodline resource bank.

After familiarizing himself with each floor, Ronan began to think about which resources to use to set up the inverted Bagua formation.

He plans to set up an inverted Bagua formation in the bungalow before returning here to cultivate using the resources of the Dori Dharma.

After most of the day had passed, Ronan, using the method of arranging the "Inverted Bagua Formation," selected eight magical items corresponding to the Bagua.
