Levi naturally couldn’t sit idly by, but he couldn’t think of a good solution either.

He’s just a seven-circle wizard, how could he fight against the Shadow Demon Queen?

After pondering, he decided to find someone.

...

Central Realm.

Black Abyss Tower.

Levi asked:

"Senior, what should I do to break this predicament?"

The Black Abyss Walker frowned deeply and pondered:

"This is indeed troublesome. In the Shadow School of Thought, the strongest in the Wizard World now is a Grand Wizard; their cultivation is far inferior to the Shadow Demon Queen, and they have no qualifications to resist..."

Specialties vary, and the Black Abyss Walker may be stronger than Levi in the Shadow Domain, but not enough to solve Levi’s problem.

"Let’s do this; you go back first, and I’ll help you inquire with the Legendary Wizards and those Grand Wizards of the Shadow School of Thought."

Levi said:

"Thank you, Senior!"

The Black Abyss Walker suddenly asked:

"By the way, have you prepared the potion for the eighth circle breakthrough?"

Levi replied:

"No, but I’ve checked, and it can be exchanged with war merit, so it’s not a problem."

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"Even so, you should take this potion formula."

Levi took it and was pleased.

It read "Invisible and Formless Dream Phantom Potion."

He glanced over it and found that, indeed, it’s a breakthrough potion with demon materials as the main ingredients, in line with the previous Mind Flayer and Succubus Potions.

This is an eight-circle potion, considered a top-notch breakthrough potion, requiring main ingredients such as the "Formless Demon Crystal Core," "Invisible Demon’s Heart," "Sleep Demon’s Brain," and "Shadow Demon Claw," all of which are level 8.

Supplementary ingredients needed include "Spiritual Dream Grass," "Level 8 Void Treasure Pearl," "Demon Dragon Grass," and such... The breakthrough success rate is 18%, 5% higher than the top-notch "Spring Lady’s Potion," allowing him a saturated success rate for advancement.

"I already have half of the main ingredients."

The Formless Demon, Levi had previously slain one and deliberately kept the crystal core.

The Invisible Demon is actually the Mud Swamp Demon, which Levi also has.

He lacks the level 8 Sleep Demon and level 8 Shadow Demon.

Currently, on the God-forsaken Continent, there are traces of Sleep Demon activities.

In the past, the Sleep Demon Lady who cursed Soraya, Gandaph holds a grudge. He has almost figured out its activity traces and intelligence long ago, just lacking the strength for revenge. Levi can help him when the time comes. The Shadow Demon is not an issue; since the Shadow Demon Queen has arrived, her subordinates will definitely appear on the battlefield.

As for the "Spiritual Dream Grass," although Levi doesn’t have it, the name suggests it’s related to nightmares and dreams, which might be found in the Nightmare World.

The Level 8 Void Treasure Pearl requires hunting a level 8 Void Spirit Clan.

Levi often interacts with the people from the Council of Ten Thousand Clans. There are Void Spirit Clans there, which is not difficult to resolve.

Demon Dragon Grass, originally obtainable from the Dragon Ruins Mysterious Realm, which is now destroyed and inaccessible, requires some luck at an auction. Levi knows another possible place—the giant dragon in the Sleeping Dragon Realm.

He also intends to visit there, bringing some gifts, and with Alexandria’s good word, he should be able to acquire one.

Over the years, he’s accumulated quite a bit of Flame Demon material, but unfortunately, not enough Demon Dragon Grass to refine seven-circle breakthrough potions for sale. If the issue of Demon Dragon Grass is thoroughly resolved, future expenses won’t be a concern.

Levi gratefully said:

"Thank you, Senior."

He initially wanted to ask the Black Abyss Walker about the potion formulas, but was too shy to frequently trouble this senior, hoping to solve it himself.

However, since the Black Abyss Walker offered it, he accepted with gratitude.

Levi deeply remembered the kindness of these seniors.

He knows there’s no unprovoked kindness.

All this will require repaying the favor in the future.

It’s a kind of risk investment, just like Triss’s initial investment in him. It’s not about profit; on the contrary, Levi sees it as a kind of trust. In the relationship of investing and being invested in, real friendship and affection can also be built.

Take Triss, for example; perhaps they initially used each other, but by now, Triss is like family to him, worthy of trust.

Ms. Lucy, Senior Black Abyss, Sea Covering Wizard, are all the same.

The Black Abyss Walker said:

"You should go back. Although I don’t understand much about the Shadow World, I think the only way to solve your problem is to transfer those shadows from the Shadow World to the Wizard World and prevent them from returning."

Levi said:

"I understand."

However, although the shadows are used by Levi, they are essentially shadow creatures.

Their birth and daily life must be in the Shadow World.

Summoning them requires consuming his spiritual force, just like summoning undead creatures, it’s the same.

But the undead are different from shadow creatures; they adapt more easily to the Wizard World and can stay here long-term. Moreover, wizard research on undead far exceeds shadow creatures, resulting in places like the Black Soul Demon Tower and Undead Cemetery for undead dwellers to cultivate.

"I must find a way to create a small Shadow World in the Ancient Banyan Fairyland to fundamentally resolve these issues and free my shadow creature army from the Shadow Demon’s clutches."

...

Shadow World.

This is a world of only black and white.
