Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 249 Central Wizard Islands
After Ronan acquired the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique, his resources were consumed extremely quickly.

Just two years later, the Wizard Tower's inventory, which had accumulated over many years, was reduced to only 20%.

He thought that if things continued like this, he would have to collect resources himself.

However, his cultivation level also increased extremely quickly.

Two years later, he had already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Originally, he possessed the Everlasting Body, which allowed him to absorb and refine spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed.

Now, there is another technique called the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique. When he uses this technique, any rare and precious materials he absorbs are immediately converted into magical power.

Moreover, he possesses abundant resources, making his cultivation speed astonishing even in the ancient world of cultivation.

Upon reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he will continue to deduce the Heavenly Wood Ascension Technique.

However, the cultivation techniques of the Nascent Soul Realm are extremely profound, and even with his current knowledge, it is quite difficult for him to deduce them.

To continue the deductions smoothly, more wizarding knowledge is needed.

'Perhaps I should make a trip to the central Wizarding Islands.'

He had long heard of the central Wizarding Islands, but had never set foot there.

Now, firstly, his strength has increased, giving him a certain degree of confidence.

Secondly, he heard that the wizarding school in the central Wizarding Islands intended to harm their continental alliance.

Therefore, he also wanted to go and find out for himself.

With that thought in mind, Ronan immediately used the Wood Escape Technique and headed towards the Wizarding Islands.

Once the Eternal Green Body was formed, he could use the surrounding wood-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth with a single thought.

In this way, his Wood Immortal Escape technique became even faster.

……

Ronan flew over the outer edge of the Wizarding Islands and soon arrived at the central part of the islands.

In the center of the Wizarding Islands, on each island, there is a huge wizard's tower.

The wizard tower exudes a power that suppresses the wizards who come and go.

At this moment, Ronan felt the heat emanating from the wizard tower and was also looking at which island he should land on.

The Great Wizard's Tower on each island, along with the other wizard towers, presents a strange and wondrous sight.

He saw an island with multiple wizard towers.

At the top of the wizard's tower, there were clusters of light emitting fiery red and cold, pale white glows.

It was like the dazzling sun and the hazy, indistinct shadow of the moon.

Ronan had heard that in the central Wizarding Islands, the regions of many different schools of thought each formed their own distinct climate zone.

The orbs of light on the Wizard's Tower are sometimes the sun and moon of that area.

During the day, the area is unbearably hot, but at night it becomes cold and gloomy.

Ronan sensed it and found that the energy particles here weren't very dense, seemingly not much different from those on a first-tier continent.

The sky began to darken, finally showing signs of dusk.

Not long after, several shrill cries came from the nearby sky, followed by a series of black dots appearing in the air, numbering more than twenty, and after circling for a while, they plummeted downwards.

Ronan channeled his magic into his eyes, but when he narrowed them, his amazing eyesight allowed him to see the black dots clearly.

They turned out to be strange black birds with eagle heads and bat bodies, each four or five feet long, with a pair of shiny claws on their abdomens, and their black fleshy wings were extremely ferocious when spread out.

The strange bird was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye it was right in front of him, intending to devour Ronan's flesh and blood.

A cold glint flashed in Ronan's eyes, and he pointed a finger.

Several streaks of blue light shot out and flew towards the flock of birds.

Soon, a burst of blood splattered, and all the birds fell to the ground.

After a while, a rumbling sound came from a certain direction, accompanied by the faint sound of whistling wind, as if a large number of giant beasts were flying past nearby.

Ronan wanted to leave, but remembering that he had come here to gather information, he pretended not to know anything and continued flying.

A small, fiery red bird, about the size of a fist, appeared eerily above Ronan's head, hovering thirty or forty feet above the ground, emitting a melodious chirping. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear and could be heard clearly for miles around.

It was clearly a message being relayed to the flying beast teams.

Sure enough, not long after, the ground trembled slightly, as if something was rushing towards him.

With a low growl, several wizards riding some kind of monster arrived near Ronan and stopped far away. They all stared silently at Ronan in the sand dune, their gazes icy cold.

Ronan tilted his head and glanced at these "people".

Yes, although their attire is rather strange. They are definitely human.

Ronan felt a slight sense of relief.

The wizards were all robust men between twenty and forty years old, dressed in various styles. Some were fully clothed in gleaming armor, while others simply covered their vital areas with a few faintly glowing bone fragments, their attire extremely rudimentary. But regardless of who they were, they all carried an extremely heavy staff, the front half of which was thick and several rings thick.

But what attracted Ronan's attention even more was that the monsters these people rode were actually giant dragons, each with a shiny black horn on its head, and its waist and thick limbs were covered with thick plates. They were over two zhang tall, making them look extremely ferocious.

As Ronan observed these people, the wizards on these monsters seemed to sense something amiss with Ronan. Their previously tense faces relaxed slightly, but they still didn't approach casually.

One of the men, a burly man in his forties with a deep scar on his face, suddenly turned and said something to a young man beside him. The short-haired young man immediately rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a white, round object. Then he spurred the monster beneath him toward Ronan.

The young man stopped a few feet away from Ronan and mumbled some incomprehensible words. Seeing that Ronan had no reaction, he frowned and looked Ronan up and down several times. Then he raised his hand and gently shook the ball in his hand at Ronan.

“This is not a magical beast,” the young man said to the other wizards.

The wizards who arrived all sat atop the flying dragons, watching Ronan.

The dragon flapped its wings, its pair of bright red eyes also looking at Ronan.

“You don’t look like a wizard from the Middle Kingdom. Why are you here?” a wizard asked Ronan.

Ronan said, "I arrived at the Wizarding Islands, got caught up in an undercurrent, and ended up here."

"Could it be an undercurrent from another dimension?" a wizard wondered.

"Never mind." The wizard looked at Ronan and said:

"Now that you've encountered us, do you want to live or die?"

"If you want to live, then work for us for ten years."

“Ten years! No problem, I agree.” Ronan’s eyes flashed, and he pretended to hesitate before agreeing immediately.

“Alright, since you agree, then accept the curse.” The tall, legendary wizard laughed and beckoned to a wise wizard behind him.

Another wizard behind him took out a hollowed-out copper ball covered in patterns, bit his finger and wrote something on it, then began chanting a spell. After chanting for a while, he handed the hollowed-out copper ball to Ronan.

Ronan examined the bronze ball closely, which was stained with blood-red patterns.

"What, you want something else?" the wizard asked, staring at Ronan.

"What is this?" Ronan asked, staring at the bronze sphere covered in patterns.

He had seen the patterns on the bronze ball in Dolifa's collection; they were a very ancient type of rune in the wizarding world. However, he had never seen this particular combination before, and it exuded a faint, bloody aura, making it seem somewhat eerie.

“Once you drop a drop of blood on it, the contract here will take effect. You will have to serve us here for ten years. If you go back on your word, the power of the curse will immediately take away a part of your soul, making you wish you were dead. Hehe, this is something our leader made uniquely.” The legendary wizard liked people who also explored and discussed knowledge, so he said to Ronan.

Ronan scanned it with his primordial energy and divine sense, and immediately knew that the power of the curse was still insufficient compared to his spiritual power.

Once the curse has entered his soul, he can easily create a similar curse to cover it up.

The people of this wizarding school thought he was cursed and controlled, but that wasn't the case. "By the way, I still don't know what the wizarding organization is called?" Ronan asked.

"Hehe, you have so many questions!"

A legendary wizard with a scar on his face and standing two meters tall said to Ronan:

"Our wizarding organization is called the Abyss of Dragons."

"Have you ever heard of underground wizards? We are a branch of underground wizards."

Ronan's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

No wonder he noticed the high power level of these wizards when he first met them.

Little did they expect it to be an underground wizard.

Underground wizards, also known as body-refining wizards.

These wizards typically have multiple coordinates of the true dragon plane.

Because his advancement requires the assistance of true dragon bloodline.

Ronan then picked up the bronze ball, accepted the contract, and immediately used his mind to forge a fake contract.

He then followed the group of underground wizards back.

This area is where these underground wizards reside.

The strange climate and energy here are unsuitable for other wizards, but suitable for underground wizards.

Just now, the underground wizard took a sphere and probed Ronan with it.

It was discovered that Ronan possessed an impressive physical physique.

Of course, this was the result of Ronan's use of mental and illusionary witchcraft to conceal it.

Ronan now possesses the Everlasting Body, and has also perfected several body-refining techniques.

His physical strength is now astonishing, even to the rule-based wizards among body-refining wizards.

Along the way, Ronan learned from the conversations of these underground wizards.

This Abyss of Flying Dragons was once guarded by an immortal wizard.

However, the immortal wizard went to another dimension and never returned.

Ronan was quickly settled into accommodations upon arriving on the island.

Immediately afterwards, they would have to join other body-refining wizards in conquering other dimensions.

Without a doubt, the resources of these body-refining wizards come from another dimension.

Just as the alternate dimension opened, Ronan secretly released his spiritual energy to probe the surrounding space.

He discovered it in the area of ​​the wizarding organization in the central Wizarding Islands.

Although the concentration of spiritual energy is not much different from that outside.

But standing here, the sensitivity to detecting other planes actually increases significantly.

Here, he can perceive more alternate dimensions than ever before.

It seems that the central part of the Wizard Islands is equivalent to the ascension platform in the world of cultivation.

Ronan thought that perhaps he could just stay in this organization for now.

Go to each dimension and seize resources.

Just then, he and the body-refining wizards arrived at a true dragon plane.

This is a volcano.

Lava erupted from the top of the volcano, turning the entire sky black.

One after another, enormous, jet-black dragons were flapping their wings above the lava.

Suddenly, these true dragons sensed the arrival of Ronan and his group and immediately became alert.

Then, dozens of real dragons, flapping their wings, pressed down on Ronan and the others.

When it opened its mouth, magma erupted from the gaping maw of the blood-red disc.

Ronan then saw that those body-refining wizards were actually rushing into the magma with their physical bodies.

After emerging from the lava, only his wizard's robe was damaged; his body remained unharmed.

One by one, the body-refining wizards picked up their staffs and began to fight the dragon.

Ronan then realized that the body-refining wizard's staff was not used for performing witchcraft.

Ronan also pretended to fight a giant dragon.

Then, he began to pay attention to everything around him.

He could sense that more and more dragons were flying towards him.

Wizards need to gather resources, and so do dragons.

The wizard slaughtered the dragon and collected the various materials from its body into his storage artifact.

Meanwhile, Ronan secretly used magic from the cultivation world to collect the dragon essence.

He knew that the Dragon Essence was the most precious thing.

Soon, Ronan had collected the dragon essence of about ten dragons.

As the number of dragons increased, the body-refining wizards, covered in blood, began to retreat.

An interdimensional portal was opened, and the body-refining wizards retreated in an orderly manner.

After the retreat, Ronan asked a body-refining wizard, "So, will we never come back to this plane again?"

He thought, "If the body-refining wizard went there, wouldn't these true dragons have been transferred to other planes?"

"Transferring to another dimension and rebuilding won't be that easy," said the Body Refining Wizard.

"These true dragons probably harbor weaker illusions than we do. They will only change their way of living, using communal living and communication to deal with invasions."

"Of course, next time, we will definitely send more people to plunder this plane."

……

During their conversation, Ronan and his companions returned to their lodgings.

Half of the materials obtained in the alternate dimension are kept for myself, and the other half are given to the wizarding organization.

After Ronan gave out the allotted portions, he returned to the cave.

These wizards all lived in underground caves.

The underground cave was created using spatial magic, resulting in a vast space.

Body-refining wizards can train their physical bodies here.

After arriving at the underground cave, Ronan first absorbed the Dragon Essence using the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique.

Then, it began to unleash its spiritual power to explore the area.

His purpose in coming here, besides inquiring about news from the central Wizard Islands, was also to acquire knowledge in order to deduce his Heavenly Wood Ascension Technique.

A body-refining wizard has a strong physique but weaker mental and magical power, making him suitable for concealing his tracks and acquiring knowledge.
