Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 206 Guardian of the Forest!
The legendary wizard of the Fire Dragon's Lament continuously unleashes his innate power field.

Invisible energy fluctuations emanated from his body in layers.

The intention was to block Ronan's Wood Divine Lightning.

However, the divine lightning of the Wood element completely destroyed his innate force field and finally struck him solidly.

He fell from the sky like a piece of charcoal.

Ronan used Hongmeng to analyze the body of this legendary wizard.

Knowing that it was a divine lightning bolt, they still couldn't completely incapacitate him.

Now, the legendary wizard's limp appearance is definitely an act.

So Ronan unleashed another divine lightning bolt, blasting it away.

boom!
The legendary wizard was terrified when he was struck by another bolt of lightning, leaving him truly on the verge of death.

The other wizards of the Dragon's Lament, seeing their leader defeated, were all terrified.

They all used their escape magic to quickly leave the place.

Before Ronan could give the order, the other wizards of the mechanical spirits had already given chase.

A wizard possesses a wealth of resources.

With resources right in front of them, how could these wizards possibly let them go?

Soon, the mechanical spirit wizards surrounded the wizard of the Fire Dragon's Lament.

The wizards, wielding mechanical spirits, unleashed flames and lightning from their modified mechanical bodies.

The calamity of the fire dragon can be met with either avoidance or direct confrontation.

Before long, the wizards of the Fire Dragon's Lament were either injured or killed.

While these wizards were fighting, Ronan carefully stored away the storage artifact of the legendary wizard, the Fire Dragon's Lament.

A closer look revealed a wealth of resources within.

There is also a tube of blood, which seems to be the blood of a dragon-like creature.

'Let's study it more carefully when we get back.'

Ronan, after some thought, returned to the base first.

Over the next few days, he heard the mechanical spirit wizards spreading rumors about the Kingdom of Valant.

He achieved his goal and was quite satisfied.

Then, he changed his appearance and wandered around the area to learn more about the Wizard Islands.

Over the past few days, he has learned that the edges of the Wizarding Islands, for example, are usually occupied by a single wizarding school or organization.

Some wizarding schools or organizations, due to their strength, occupy multiple islands.

Aside from some islands being occupied by wizarding organizations and schools of wizarding, some islands became trading hubs jointly established by several schools or organizations.

Some resources that this school of thought or organization does not have may be found on these islands.

In addition, Ronan knew that the leaders of the peripheral wizarding schools or organizations were basically legendary wizards.

The wizards who make up this school or organization are also quite powerful.

Basically, a school of thought or organization has the ability to infiltrate a first-order continent.

These are the schools or organizations that frequently travel to the mainland beyond the Wizarding Islands to absorb new blood.

At the very heart of the Wizarding Islands are even more powerful schools of wizarding and wizarding organizations.

If they need to absorb new blood, they often seek it from peripheral wizarding organizations and schools of thought.

Apart from the special-grade continents, the first-grade continents will not have any contact with wizarding organizations and schools of wizarding outside the edge of the Wizarding Islands.

He then realized that many wizards who claimed to have been to the Wizarding Islands had only reached the edge of the islands.

The Wizarding Islands have no ruling power and are very chaotic.

At sea, there are many dark wizards who specialize in robbing lone wizards.

While Ronan was wandering around the neighborhood, he encountered several dark wizards.

These dark wizards failed to seize the resources and instead lost their lives.

Ronan, on the other hand, gained some resources for nothing.

While wandering around, Ronan also stumbled upon the wizard's ruins.

These ruins are guarded by several wizarding organizations.

From afar, Ronan only sensed the existence of this wizarding ruin before the wizard guarding it spotted him.

Ronan sensed the presence of three legendary wizards within the ruins.

To avoid any further complications, Ronan flew away from the wizarding ruins, indicating that he was merely passing through.

The wizard guarding the area, seeing Ronan in this state, did not pursue him, thus saving his life.

Having learned enough about the Wizarding Islands, Ronan returned to Triumph City.

……

Inside the Wizard Tower, Ronan took out the storage artifacts of the leaders of the Mechanical Heart and the Fire Dragon's Lament, and took out all the items inside.

He stored the cultivation resources in his warehouse.

The books, on the other hand, were placed in Dolifa's collection of books.

When he was putting away the books, he saw Dolitha lying peacefully again.

Because of years of lack of exercise, Dolifa's body has visibly become thinner.

The fact that Dolifa's body has not decayed after all these years indicates that his soul still exists in the Nightmare World.

After putting the book away, Ronan continued his cultivation.

He was still practicing the Scripture of Longevity of All Trees.

With a single breath, the surrounding spiritual energy surged forth in a gust of wind, rushing towards him.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered his body, transformed into magical power, and merged into his dantian.

The wood-attribute golden core in the dantian is accumulating more and more energy.

The seed between his eyebrows gradually took on the shape of a nascent soul.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth merges into the spiritual realm, causing it to slowly expand.

……

Half a year has passed.

The kingdom is at peace.

As local wizard councils become more sophisticated and absorb more and more wizarding power, their control over the localities strengthens day by day.

Local wizard uprisings gradually became impossible.

Wizarding academies were also established one after another in the kingdom.

The Wizarding Council has established a mechanism for regularly assessing wizard qualifications each year.

The goal is to ensure that every young person, whether noble or commoner, has the opportunity to test their wizarding aptitude.

Young people with wizarding aptitude will be assigned to different wizarding academies for further study, according to their level of wizarding aptitude.

Ronan only occasionally touched upon the Wizarding Council, giving it a general direction, but he offered almost no advice on the specific management details.

Driven by results, the kingdom's wizarding power gradually increased.

As the wizards' power increased, the tributes from various places also increased.

The wizarding world is rich in resources.

This continent of Dawn has many undeveloped areas, which contain a wealth of resources.

Once the wizards have sufficient power, they can form wizard squads to explore these areas.

While Ronan was cultivating, he suddenly sensed the arrival of wizards from the Wizarding Council.

He keenly noticed that, unlike in the past, the wizards of the Wizarding Council were walking in a slightly hurried and impatient manner this time.

Something must have happened.

The wizards of the Wizard Council arrived outside the defensive barrier of the Wizard Tower and immediately knelt on one knee:
"Lord Dolifa, Lord Kieran is dead!"

Ronan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Kieran Meyers is the most powerful archmage in the Wizarding Council.

"What happened?"

The wizards of the Wizarding Council heard Dolifa's questioning voice.

The wizards of the Wizard Council said, "On the edge of the Southwest Province, there is a large forest. There are many magical beasts in that place, and few wizards go there to explore."

“More than a month ago, the Wizard Council of the Southwest Province organized wizard families, wizard schools, wizard organizations, and wizard apprentices from wizard academies in the province to explore the forest together, but none of them returned.” “Later, the Wizard Council of the Southwest Province coordinated wizards from wizard councils in other provinces to explore together, but they also lost contact with them.”

"Later, it was Lord Kieran who led the team to explore."

"According to the wizard who accompanied Lord Kieran, they encountered a group of native wizards from the forest during their exploration."

"These wizards can summon the guardian spirits of the forest."

"After the native shaman chanted the incantation, a gust of wind rose in the forest, and at the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation occurred."

"Lord Kieran's expression changed. He told the other wizards in the group to go first, while he confronted the energy fluctuations himself."

The wizards who went with Lord Kieran dared not disobey his orders and all retreated.

"After they had been running for a while, they felt a gentle breeze from behind them, caused by the collision of energy."

"After a while, they felt Lord Kiran's energy fluctuations getting weaker and weaker, and finally disappearing."

After hearing this, Ronan told the wizard from the Wizard Council to go back first.

He was deep in thought in the cultivation room.

He walked to the teleportation array, arrived at the ninety-ninth floor, and browsed through Dolifa's collection of books.

In order to find out what exactly this "guardian of the forest" is from the book.

However, it was not mentioned in the book.

Perhaps the kingdom's wizards never explored that place, so they left no records.

'With such a powerful entity protecting it, that place might possess some decent resources.'

Ronan thought about it and decided to lead the team there himself.

So Ronan summoned the wizards of the Wizarding Council again.

On the one hand, he wanted to personally inquire about what the wizard had seen and heard that day.

On the other hand, he needs to reassemble the team and set off on an exploration.

Half a day later, Ronan, accompanied by a great wizard, two true wizards, and several elite wizards, formed a small team and set off for the southwestern province.

……

In less than a day, they arrived in the southwestern province and entered the forest.

Upon entering the forest, a truly untouched, pristine atmosphere enveloped us.

The high wizard led the group.

Next came a wise wizard, and then Ronan.

Behind that was a wise wizard.

The elite wizards, on the other hand, formed a circle, surrounding them.

They maintained this formation and walked for a while before they saw a layer of shimmering green light before the forest.

It is a defensive barrier.

With a flick of his finger, Ronan unleashed a bolt of divine lightning that shattered the defensive barrier.

As soon as the barrier shattered, shadows appeared from the forest.

"beat!"

At Ronan's command, the wizards unleashed their spells, striking at the shadows.

According to the wizards who have explored this forest, these shadows should be the native wizards of the forest.

Ronan didn't know what the "Guardian of the Forest" was, yet he wanted to kill these native shamans first.

Every time some of them die, the strength to fight them decreases.

Various forms of witchcraft, along with Ronan's Wood Divine Thunder, blasted into the depths of the forest.

Witchcraft and divine thunder blasted up patches of soil in the forest.

In an instant, mud flew everywhere, and dust filled the entire forest.

Although the native shamans used magical protective shields, most of them died or were injured in the face of such a dense attack.

As Ronan approached, he could see the appearance of these native shamans.

These sorcerers all wore simple wizard robes, but perhaps because they lived in the forest for many years and had little exposure to the sun, their skin was fair.

Upon meeting, they were attacked by Ronan and his group, as these wizards had no time to summon any forest guardians.

However, even without the wizard's summons.

Ronan and the group of wizards all felt a sudden gust of wind in the forest.

Along with this came a powerful energy fluctuation.

This is exactly the same as what the wizard who experienced it described.

It seems that the forest guardians will appear without needing to be summoned.

Ronan sensed that this energy fluctuation was only at the level of a legendary wizard.

Their team should have no problem defeating them.

Despite this thought, Ronan still didn't go to the front of the group.

He remained focused, waiting for the "guardian of the forest" to appear.

Their magical power has been mobilized, ready to attack at any moment.

Ronan remained calm.

But the wizards around him were not at peace.

This was, after all, the energy fluctuation of a legendary wizard, and when these wizards sensed it, their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Swish!
Accompanied by the sound of leaves being brushed against something.

A massive black shadow appeared above Ronan and the others.

This so-called "guardian of the forest" was actually a giant dragon.

A black dragon.

Its body is larger than that of a whale.

Its wings spread wide, billowing in the wind and obscuring the sky.

Its tail, as thick as a giant pillar, swung in the sky.

It seems that even a single swipe of its tail could kill an elite wizard.

The dragon's scales looked extremely hard and faintly shimmered.

His eyes were diamond-shaped and filled with ferocity as he looked down at Ronan and his group.

"Humans who don't value their lives!"

A sound like thunder roared from the dragon's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of black flame shot out from its mouth, rolling towards Ronan and the others.

The wizards beside Ronan reacted quickly, immediately working together to create a protective shield.

Before the protective shield could condense, Ronan flicked his finger and released the Samadhi True Fire.

The protective shield, once deployed, does not block the Samadhi True Fire.

The magical protective shields are all one-way; the energy particles are manipulated by the wizard and can be used to attack from the front without blocking attacks from wizards behind.

When the giant dragon unleashed its black flames, Hongmeng sent data back to Ronan.

The temperature of this black flame is not as high as his Samadhi True Fire.

A beam of brilliant Samadhi Fire, like a vast, all-encompassing ribbon, shot towards the black flames.

Soon, it clashed with the black flames.

As Ronan had predicted, the black flames were indeed inferior to the Samadhi True Fire.

After the Samadhi True Fire was released, the black flames immediately retreated.

The black dragon's diamond-shaped eyes showed surprise.

Then it flicked its tail.

The tail then lashed out with a gust of wind, striking Ronan and the others.

While Ronan was controlling the Samadhi True Fire, he was distracted and released the Azure Spirit Sword.

A streak of green light flashed across the giant tail.

The giant tail immediately broke off, and scalding black blood poured out like rain from the break.
