Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

"What a large pillar, even the world of the Ancient Banyan Fairyland can’t bear it. Did you get it inside the ancient tower as well?"

Mana looked up, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yes, indeed. This is formed by a million-year-old Soaking Water Blue Star Wood, impervious to sword or spear, resistant to water and fire, and exceedingly heavy."

Levi chanted an incantation, and the Ocean Stabilizing Pillar slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a thousand feet tall.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon said:

"A million-year-old Blue Star Wood, it’s almost becoming a World Tree, isn’t it?"

Mana replied:

"Even if not, it’s close enough."

After showing everyone this new treasure, Levi immediately began to study the blueprints of the [Eternal Star Abyss].

He currently possessed four Strange Woods: [Soaking Water Wood], [Thunder Pattern Wood], [Rock Transformation Wood], and [Nightmare Wood].

The four Heavenly Pillars from the cardinal directions were complete, allowing the preliminary start of the wizard tower’s refinement.

Of course, for perfection, more Strange Woods were needed.

The metal-type [Flash Gold Wood], fire-element [Charred Fire Wood], wind-element [Bubble Wood], and frost [Cold Ice Wood]...

In short, the more types of Strange Woods, the better.

However, these are treasures that can only be encountered by chance, not by searching.

Levi had searched for hundreds of years and only obtained four types.

He couldn’t wait until every Strange Wood was gathered before beginning the wizard tower’s refinement; by then, it would be too late.

First, build the main framework and gradually perfect it, just like the [Tower of Summer Flowers] of the Hundred Flowers, which was the correct approach.

"Knowing Sauron’s tastes, there might be more Strange Woods behind the ancient tower."

"And that Chaos Ancient Serpent seems not entirely dead; its residual soul is scattered within the Dark Ancient Tower, possibly due to Sauron’s intentions."

...

As time passed, Levi immersed himself in the wizard tower’s refinement, unable to extricate himself.

720th year of Nora, 508th year of the Blood Battle.

Unknowingly, three years had passed.

Having previously refined a wizard tower for the Hundred Flowers and using the Black Soul Demon Tower as a reference,

the refinement work proceeded quite smoothly.

The wizard tower is a systematic project, involving various wizard knowledge such as weapon-making and arrays.

For others, it would require assistance from talents of multiple fields.

Levi alone was a team.

During the refinement process, Levi’s proficiency in arrays and weapon-making skills also improved significantly.

Gradually, a structure akin to a traditional Huaxia treasure tower began to rise in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Of course, this wizard tower was far from an embryonic form, only the main structure was somewhat complete.

To make it initially usable, it required continuous additions of bricks and tiles, array setup, rune branding, and material refining.

The cost of resources and finances necessary for this, even an eighth-circle wizard could not imagine.

Fortunately, his savings were substantial, and he had accumulated many war merits, which could be exchanged for materials.

The industries of the Ancient Dragon Continent and the Three Avatars also provided sufficient support.

One day, Levi temporarily paused the wizard tower’s refinement and left the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

His Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique had reached its maximum and required advancement.

...

A solitary island on the Outer Sea of the Ancient Dragon Continent.

Levi sat cross-legged, taking out a piece of Advancement Medicines.

It was a bead, black as ink, exuding a faint bloody aura and the Dragon’s Might.

"Currently, the Scarlet Dragon Breathing Technique integrates [Jade Dragon] and [Blood Beast]. I’ve also added [Nether Dragon] and [Ender Dragon]. Advancing to Mythical shouldn’t be a problem, so even if the Blood River descends, there’s no need to worry about its influence."

He inspected the preparations before the advancement. The Bloodline Divine Weapon [Scarlet Shadow] had been recast with the level 8 [Ghost Skin] obtained from Hell, further enhancing its quality, only awaiting advancement.

Notably, after recasting, the scarlet cloak changed color, turning black as ink, emitting a chill from Hell’s Netherworld. Levi couldn’t be bothered to rename it, so he used extraordinary materials to dye it back to red.

"Let’s begin."

The security for this seclusion was handled by Black Phoenix, the personal bodyguard of the Dragon King.

...

Two years later.

510th year of the Blood Battle.

Since the Wind Demon Lord took on the role of chief commander of the Blood Battle, the demon’s assaults became more vicious.

In the Ancient Dragon Continent alone, there were 13 major and minor attacks.

Most were led by Level 6 demons, launching unexpected suicidal attacks.

There was also one instance where a Level 8 demon personally attacked, causing significant losses.

But the good news was that they successfully defended against 10 of the 13 attacks in the Ancient Dragon Continent.

As soon as demons appeared, they were detected by the Sky Dome System and exterminated by the joint efforts of the Demon Extermination Shuttle and Black-armored Warrior.

This combat record far exceeded the current organizational average of the Wizard World.

The superiority of the Mechanical School in facing Civil War once again became prominent.

Therefore, to cope with future harsh situations, after much deliberation, the Ancient Dragon Continent initiated the millennia-long "Star Fortress Project."

Led by the Mechanical School, the Tower of Dawn, Dusk Holy Temple, Witch’s Family, among other organizations, assisted.

The aim was to create a hundred "Star Castle Integrated Fortresses," abbreviated as "Star Castles."

The current plan consisted of five phases.

The first phase planned to build 108 [Satellite Star Castles], comparable to level 6 [War Treasures], similar to the [Sky Fire Fortress].

The second phase involved 72 [Planet-level Star Castles], equivalent to level 7 War Treasures.

The third phase saw 36 [Constant Star Star Castles].

Subsequently, the fourth phase involved 12 [Annihilation Star Fortresses].

The fifth phase would integrate all Star Castles.

Based on the Ancient Dragon Continent, they would create the ultimate [Multi-Dimensional Star Castle Mother Body: Twilight Fortress], which is a level-10 War Treasure.
