"Congratulations to the Dusk Palace Master on stepping into the eighth circle, the Grand Wizard is within reach."

The Shadow Walker congratulated.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Levi welcomed the delegation to the council chamber.

"What is the matter the senior is seeking me for?"

The Shadow Walker got straight to the point:

"We have noticed that your side seems to be able to summon creatures from the Nightmare World, are you conducting research on the Nightmare World?"

Levi roughly guessed the congress’s intention.

"Yes."

The School of Dreams summoning nightmare creatures, this cannot be hidden from the congress, and he did not intend to hide it.

The Shadow Walker pondered.

"Presumably, Sir Levi has heard of the events of the Dreamland Steeple, doing this carries significant risks."

Levi smiled slightly.

"I understand the congress’s concerns, but I can assure you there will be no issues on my side, and certainly no unforeseen disasters brought to the Wizard World."

The Shadow Walker nodded.

"Very well, I also trust in the Dusk Palace Master’s ability, I mainly wanted to remind you that the Nightmare World is extremely dangerous, with the example of the Dreamland Steeple before us, it is imperative to be cautious in developing the Nightmare World, or else the loss outweighs the gain if one gets lost in it."

"I have nothing else here. If you encounter any problems in the Nightmare World, feel free to contact me anytime, for I also have some research on the Nightmare World."

With that, the Shadow Walker led the team away.

Levi understood the congress’s concerns.

Therefore, he has always been cautious about exploring the Nightmare World, staying around the Black Dragon Territory always.

Risks are inevitable, but weighing the pros and cons, the benefits are still greater.

After being closed off for a long time, he inspected various major organizations.

Everything is normal, steadily progressing.

Elena and the Three Avatars are also doing well.

Madam Triss is tackling the most challenging Seven-Circle Breakthrough Potion.

If she succeeds, her war merits will not be less than those of the top ten on the level 8 Demon Slaughter List.

He also communicated with the Heart Moon Spirit Witch about the progress of the Summoning Style of Nightmare Summoning.

He learned that precise summoning has been preliminarily achieved, and corresponding spells and knowledge are being researched.

Levi told her to pay extra attention and report any situation to him at any time.

The root of the matter is that his strength is not strong enough in the Nightmare World.

If he had the strength of a Legendary Wizard, even with the risks in the Nightmare World.

With his status as a Nightmare Lord, he would have no fear.

Learning that Levi advanced to the eighth circle, Hundred Flowers also came back from the frontlines to congratulate him.

Levi upgraded and recharged her [Dragon’s Protection] ring.

So that next time she summons a replacement fighter, it will be at level 8 standard.

It’s more than enough for preserving life in front of a level 8 demon.

Levi’s Demon Slaying List also automatically updated to level 9.

He opened the leaderboard.

The first place is Lucy, with the Eight-Circle Perfect Cultivation, having over twenty billion in points.

"For Ms. Lucy, points are really just numbers... doesn’t seem much useful."

After the eighth circle, not counting the random Sun Refining Artifacts, at most, you can exchange for two non-random Sun Refining Artifacts.

With the lady’s war merits, she must have exchanged them all long ago.

Moreover, she doesn’t seem to lack resources much, after all, being a reincarnated Legendary Wizard, she definitely left many backup plans.

From second to twelfth place, they are basically all with Eight-Circle Perfect Cultivation.

Mostly they are leaders of top wizard organizations or commanders of ace legions.

These people have long been famous in the Wizard World, the top existence below the Grand Wizard.

Their points are all in the tens of billions, several tens of billions.

The thirteenth place is Levi.

At his peak, his points were able to rank in the top ten.

Later, to focus on cultivation, he fell out.

"Next, there’s no hurry, after the eighth circle, exchanging for Sun Refining Artifacts becomes much simpler."

A single mid-level 8 demon, even the weakest Bottom-dwelling Fish Demon, has twenty to thirty million points.

Some troublesome ones, like the Formless Demon or Shadow Demon, have over a billion points.

Of course, after the eighth circle, the war merits needed for exchanging non-random Sun Refining Artifacts also increase somewhat.

This is the congress’s high standard requirement for high-level wizards.

The price of the same artifacts might be twice that of the Seven-Circle period.

But for an eighth-circle wizard, earning war merits is much easier than for a seven-circle one.

So overall difficulty is still lower.

Of course, the premise of earning war merits easily is strong enough capability.

If the combat power is inflated, unable to defeat a level 8 demon of the same realm, then naturally it’s futile.

But due to Nora’s home ground advantage and plane suppression.

Except for the Cave Wizard, the average combat power of normal eighth-circle wizards surpasses that of demons.

After a step-by-step selection of the best among the best to reach this realm, there are no ordinary people.

Talent, perseverance, luck... one of these factors is always outstanding.

"For me, it’s still to consolidate the realm first, and then refine those three oddities."

"Next, start collecting and learning Eight-Circle Magic, prepare the materials for Knight Promotion, and bring up other breathing techniques."

"The Three Arts of Wizardry also need to be slightly worked on, refine a batch of Eight-Circle Meditation Potions, and Divine Talisman Dao needs further research, start attempting knight’s divine talismans."

After advancing to the eighth circle, matters did not decrease.

Cultivation is like this, there is never a time for slackness.

But with Levi’s lifespan, he can afford to be leisurely without haste.

The average lifespan for eighth-circle wizards is four thousand years, he has the knight’s blessing, plus the doubled Moon Rune.

His lifespan should be similar to that of a Legendary Wizard... and he is only eleven hundred years old.

In other words, only one-tenth has passed.

"The longer I live, the younger I become, among mortals, I’m still at the stage of an eight-year-old child."
