Hellfire Ancient Saint knew the overall situation was grim, and hiding in the deep mountains and forests was not a solution. He decided to seek refuge with this seemingly Initial Ancient Saint, a powerful figure who had suppressed Skybreaking Ancient Saint with ease, hoping to secure a prominent position in the new Ancient Saint Empire.

After inquiring from various sources, he learned that this powerful figure was residing in Black Line City. He traveled day and night and finally met the formidable man who had effortlessly subdued Skybreaking Ancient Saint.

Levi looked at Hellfire Ancient Saint, nodded, and smiled, saying, “It seems that Hellfire Ancient Saint is also here to support the cause of our new Ancient Saint Empire. Come, let’s feast.”

During the banquet, Hellfire Ancient Saint was uneasy and apprehensive. As fellow member of the Fire Lizard clan, he had many questions in his mind but dared not ask.

Eventually, after expressing his loyalty and allegiance to Levi, Hellfire Ancient Saint took his leave.

“This journey to the alternate plane should come to an end. This trip had been much smoother than I imagined. Conquering the Ancient Saint Empire, Wind God Empire, and Mosasaurus Empire was only a matter of time.”

“In addition, the traces of Ancient Beasts had still been being sought, and I had tasked Skybreaking Ancient Saint, with the power of the empire, to replace other Dragon Clan creatures I needed. I hadn’t needed to worry about it anymore.”

“I also helped the Twilight Knights to clear obstacles and take control here.”

“When I return to the human realm this time, I can try to let the members of the Twilight Knights enter here in batches for training.

As for the traces of the ancient wizard, the identities of the four ancient kings, and the Holy Snake, these secrets can be slowly uncovered in the future.”

Levi had been delighted with the outcomes of this journey to the alternate plane.

Afterward, Levi spent some time in Black Line City.

Other Ancient Saints and major tribes with Ancient Saint arts had offered their respective Ancient Saint arts to Levi. Levi had only taken copies, as he hadn’t wanted to sever the inheritance of these crawler civilizations.

Honestly, he had also been curious about how far these creatures could evolve in the future.

During this time, Levi had stayed in the city, studying these Ancient Saint arts—Rock Serpent Ancient Saint Art, Frenzied Blood Ancient Saint Art, and so on.

“The Rock Serpent Ancient Saint Art, the Frenzied Blood Ancient Saint Art…”

These Ancient Saint Arts were all methods passed down through generations of Ancient Saints. It was said that they were created by the Initial Ancient Saint, who could be traced back to the ancient era.

“The Initial Ancient Saint was just a Lizardman, how could he have such high intelligence to create so many Ancient Saint Arts?”

“Even I, attempting to create the Knight Breathing Technique from scratch, have not been able to do so until now.”

“I don’t believe he could achieve that… If he could, wouldn’t that mean I’m inferior to Lizardmen?”

“These Ancient Saint Arts might have been created by that ancient wizard. The ancient wizard likely had a profound understanding of the path of knights, so he plagiarized and modified the content of the Knight Breathing Technique to form these Ancient Saint Arts.”

Levi speculated in his mind.

He counted and found that the Ancient Saint Arts he had collected could be divided into four categories: Defense, Constitution, Speed, and Strength.

In comparison to the Knight Breathing Technique, these Ancient Saint Arts lacked the two dimensions of endurance and perception.

The defense-type Ancient Saint Arts all traced their ultimate origins to the bloodline source of the Ocean King, the Sea Dragon.

Similarly, speed pointed to the Sky King, the Jade Dragon, and strength pointed to the Underground King, the Gloomy Lamp Dragon.

Regarding the constitution, Levi had already measured it using the Rowling Crystal. Its bloodline source was the Immortal Banyan Dragon, the Forest King.

According to Levi’s extensive investigations, the Immortal Banyan Dragon was a legendary serpent-shaped dragon that dwelled on the World Tree. Its body had fused with the World Tree, covered in the branches of the World Tree.

The World Tree lived on, and the Immortal Banyan Dragon remained undefeated.

That being said, the World Tree, a colossal deity tree in many civilizations, was found in various myths, such as Pandora’s mother tree in the Elven civilization.

Thus, Levi was unsure which civilization the Immortal Banyan Dragon’s World Tree pointed to.

“The Jade Dragon, the Sea Dragon of Huang, the Gloomy Lamp Dragon, and the Immortal Banyan Dragon—all four dragons under the Holy Snake were pure-blooded members of the Dragon Clan, at least of the legendary ninth-circle level. The Holy Snake, in particular, was guaranteed to be of mythological status, comparable to a legendary wizard… Thinking about it this way, the depths of this world seemed quite profound.”

Levi wondered if the stone he had cast into this world could make ripples.

“Based on my research over the years, whether it was weak lizard-like beings like Kaku or Ancient Saints like Skybreaking, none had successfully communicated with the Holy Snake during sacrificial rituals. Did this imply that the Holy Snake might have perished?”

Levi pressed down his doubts.

He collected all the Ancient Saint methods for future use.

One month later, as Levi prepared to bid farewell, the current ruler of the Ancient Saint Empire, the Skybreaking Ancient Saint, came to Levi’s residence.

“Greetings, Lord,” Skybreaking Ancient Saint knelt, showing deep respect.

“What brought you here?” Levi inquired.

“Lord, now that the Ancient Saint Empire had essentially achieved unity, those Ancient Saints who disagreed with serving the empire had been slain by me. Shall we now lead the army to conquer the Mosasaurus Empire? Those barbaric sea tribes frequently invaded the borders of the Ancient Saint Empire, and it was infuriating!” Skybreaking Ancient Saint eagerly expressed, full of fighting spirit.

“No rush for now. Rest and recover first. When I return, we’ll make plans. In the meantime, focus on stabilizing the empire’s internal affairs; that, in itself, was a victory,” Levi advised.

His departure was framed as going into seclusion according to Skybreaking and others left behind.

“Understood!” Skybreaking Ancient Saint nodded and presented an ancient magic ring. “Lord, according to your orders, these were some plants we had found.”

Levi’s eyes widened as he accepted the storage ring, detecting a multitude of herbs, astonishing in both variety and quantity.
