Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 523 - 68 The War Begins

The Anti-Demon Conference lasted for three days, during which time the Anti-Demon Alliance confirmed the Alliance Hierarch and the preliminary rules.

The position of Alliance Hierarch, not surprisingly, fell upon the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect. The Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect, along with several other Saint Sects, had both blood feuds and cooperations, and it was also the frontline in resisting the Magic Martial Artists in the Wilderness Land. Having them serve as the Hierarch was agreed upon by the other major Saint Sects.

The only one somewhat sullen was the Great Sun Saint Sect. The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect had originally promised to support them fully in becoming the Hierarch. However, they did not expect the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect to suddenly intervene and snatch away that position.

Once the Hierarch was confirmed, the rules naturally followed.

During the anti-demon period, all Major Sects should cease all forms of civil war and prepare wholeheartedly for the future great battle. Additionally, each Major Sect should be led by the local Holy Sect to establish a regional common defensive line to prevent the Witch World’s Heavenly Demons from defeating them one by one.

However, since the Heavenly Demons have yet to descend upon the world, the regulations should be broad rather than detailed.

Although cooperation between the Six Great Saint Sects had been established, the blood feuds of many years meant that this cooperation would have to undergo a trial by blood before becoming truly close-knit.

Therefore, these rules are more like a program than actual regulations.

The establishment of the Anti-Demon Alliance marked the preliminary unification of the Wilderness Land, a historic scene. If the Wild Beastmen could successfully resist the Wizards, then this meeting would become a turning point in the history of the Wild Beastmen.

A united, though broken, great world, is troublesome for any civilization.

But the premise is being able to withstand the pressure.

On the second day after the conference ended, intelligence about the Wild Beastmen Martial Arts Grandmasters and the Anti-Demon Alliance arrived at the Floating City.

...

Beyond the Wilderness Land, Floating Cities with comet tails sped towards distant worlds. At the heart of these Floating Cities, beings with terrifying presences gathered in a conference room.

At that moment, if a member of the old Wizard Commerce were present, they would be too shocked to pick up their jaws.

Because in this conference room, every Wizard was a Great Wizard seldom seen by the Wizard World on regular days.

To hasten the conquest of the Wilderness Land, the Wizard World had deployed no fewer than three hundred Great Wizards, with over a quarter of the Wizard World’s Great Wizards gathered in this room.

In the conference room, Garon the Great Wizard took the principal seat. Sitting beside him were three Great Wizards, one of whom was a dark fire person, clearly a Great Wizard of the Shape-shifting School. Another’s body was both ethereal and real, with two completely contradictory properties present in one body. Among the Five Major Schools, it was the Soul School that could have such traits.

The third was our old acquaintance, the Great Wizard of the Bronze Spear.

This Six-Circle Great Wizard, who controls the Military Department, now appeared weak, his bronze-like body covered with tiny cracks, through which glimmers of rule-resistant brilliance could be faintly seen.

The battle in the Galaxy World inflicted significant damage on this Great Wizard. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Garon the Great Wizard opened up space and took out a stack of documents. With a flick of his hand, the documents flew into the hands of the many Great Wizards.

"This is the intelligence our good lads have gathered. Among these Wild Beastmen, there are two hundred and eight Level 4 Creatures, twenty-seven Level 5 Creatures, and a suspected seven Level 6 Creatures. Additionally," Garon the Great Wizard’s voice paused, his tone growing heavy, "these Wild Beastmen are suspected to have sealed a Star Realm Master."

Many of the Great Wizards hadn’t taken the earlier news very seriously, as in terms of numbers, these Wild Beastmen couldn’t compare to the Wizards. But upon hearing that the Wild Beastmen had sealed away a Star Realm Master, all the Great Wizards were inwardly shaken.

Instantly, the space of the conference room was distorted by the Great Wizards’ rippling energies, causing ripples to spread continuously.

Garon the Great Wizard snapped his fingers, and the space of the conference room returned to normal.

"There’s no need to be nervous. According to the intelligence, this Star Realm Master is likely one sealed by the Lost Ones. These Wild Beastmen are probably the Tomb Guardians created by the Lost Ones.

However, due to the influence of that unknown gene, the information of the Lost Ones has been erased, and these Wild Beastmen have also forgotten their mission. Therefore, these Wild Beastmen are likely unaware that there is a Star Realm Master sealed beneath their feet.

Of course, even if they knew, this news would likely remain only among their Six Great Saint Sects, because our people have not discovered any intelligence that ordinary sect members know of this news.

According to the intelligence, the headquarters of the Six Great Saint Sects have never changed since ancient times. Moreover, their Magic Martial Artists have also tried to invade these six Saint Sects numerous times.

Presumably, the key equipment for that sealing measure should be distributed among these six Saint Sects."

"So are we aiming to eradicate these ’Saint Sects’?" a Five-Ring Great Wizard asked.

A faint smile appeared on the lips of Garon the Great Wizard, "Roughly speaking, yes."

Saying this, he raised his hand, and an image appeared before the many Great Wizards.

"I plan to split our forces into three groups, descending on three Saint Sects simultaneously, and take control of half of the sealing apparatus first. This way, there’s a good chance the seal will not be broken.

Of course, I have already notified the Plastic Energy and Alchemy Crowns. They could support us through the Wizard Dimension at any moment, so even if the Master breaks out, it won’t be a problem."

Hearing the names of the two Crowns, the Wizards present breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Plastic Energy and Alchemy Crowns were not among the first Wizards to achieve truth, they were the most powerful of the five Crowns.

Legend has it that their power has already broken through the limits of Level 7 Creatures.

With these two Crowns in support, even if the Star Realm Master broke free, it would only become an experimental subject.

"Isn’t dividing our forces three ways a bit risky?" the Great Wizard of the Bronze Spear suddenly spoke up, "If they decide to focus their defense on one point, even you might have trouble dealing with five Level 6 Creatures."

"I hope they’ll do just that."

Garon the Great Wizard looked at his old friend. As the two exchanged glances, the Great Wizard of the Bronze Spear suddenly felt an imposing pressure.

It was a suppression on the level of life itself.

The Bronze Spear Great Wizard shuddered and asked, "Are you about to break through?"

Garon the Great Wizard stated indifferently, "My lucky star filled in the last gap for me recently; my path is now complete. All I’m lacking is the ritual."

Garon the Great Wizard mentioned it casually, but the Great Wizards listening all revealed expressions of shock. As an old friend of Garon the Great Wizard, the Bronze Spear Great Wizard flashed to his side and threw a fierce punch at him, catching Garon off-guard.

"What the hell, have you gone mad?" Garon the Great Wizard said, slightly angered.

Wearing a smile, while coughing up blood, the Bronze Spear Great Wizard replied, "Hahaha, you’re about to become a crowned head, and after that, I won’t be able to land a punch on you."

Garon the Great Wizard pointed at his old friend with a hint of annoyance and stabilized his friend’s bodily injuries.

"You’re thousands of years old, so why is your mind still like a child’s?"

The Bronze Spear Great Wizard laughed and said, "Such opportunities are rare, and if I don’t seize it, there probably won’t be a next time."

The news of Garon the Great Wizard becoming a crowned head was undoubtedly a major event for many Great Wizards. The birth of a new crowned head would inevitably disrupt the top-tier layout that had been formed since the pioneering era.

Given Garon the Great Wizard’s close relationship with the Alchemy Crown, the power in the Wizard Civilization would inevitably lean towards the Alchemy faction.

This was not good news for the Great Wizards of the Shape-shifting School.

The contest for leadership within the Wizard Civilization between the Alchemy and Shape-shifting crowned heads had long been known among the Great Wizards. But because the Curse Crown had stayed out of it, and with Life and Soul—one siding with Alchemy and the other with Shape-shifting—the power between the two factions had always been balanced.

But now, that balance was about to be disrupted. This was an omen of uncertain fortune or misfortune for the Wizard Civilization, which was already engaged in a civilizational war.

Of course, all that was a matter for the future.

For now, the task of these Great Wizards under the leadership of Garon the Great Wizard was to conquer this broken Great World known as the Wilderness.

...

Inside the Wilderness World, Richard was explaining a blueprint to his old disciple, Kong Xiong.

Although the Banshan Sect was a sect of Martial Arts, they also managed their own industry. This was one of the reasons why the Banshan Sect hadn’t declined too rapidly; even in times of downfall, one could at least learn a skill by joining the sect.

The Banshan Sect’s main business was the construction industry, and many of the branch offices of various sects in Chengshan City were built by the Banshan Sect in the earlier years.

Now, with all the Holy Sects establishing a united defensive line, a sect like the Banshan Sect, capable of working with dust, suddenly became valuable. As the former Sect Leader of the Banshan Sect, it was natural for Richard to entrust the construction near Wuxiang Valley to them.

"Build it according to this plan. I’ve learned something from the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect, allowing the use of buildings as parts of an Array Flag."

Looking at the blueprint his master provided, Kong Xiong felt like scratching his head bald.

The thing looked too strange to resemble a blueprint of a great city. But upon hearing his master mention the Qi Men Array, Kong Xiong didn’t dare to say much.

He was not familiar with the Qi Men Array.

"Alright then, I’ll build it this way."

Kong Xiong left, and Richard turned to return to his courtyard within the Banshan Sect.

Here, a Communication Pyramid was being operated by several Black Wizards, continually transmitting messages to the Floating City.

"Is the transmission finished?"

"Not quite."

A year had passed since the establishment of the Anti-Demon Alliance, and throughout this year, messages from the Alliance had been continuously passed on to the Wizards by Richard.

Together with the intelligence collected by other undercover Wizards, one could say, the Anti-Demon Alliance was almost entirely transparent to the Wizards.

After sending the messages, these Black Wizards transformed into several robed Wild Beastmen. If any Banshan Sect disciples were to see this, they would be astonished to find that these Black Wizards were their own Hall Masters.

Under Richard’s manipulation, all major cities under the governance of Wuxiang Valley were under the control of the Black Wizards.

As soon as the front line advanced near Wuxiang Valley, it would promptly switch sides and become part of the Wizard faction.

After returning the Communication Pyramid to the Secret Realm, Richard gazed into the sky. Although invisible, he knew the war was approaching.

...

Within the Star Realm, dozens of Floating Cities, along with hundreds of smaller ones, were being organized under the command of the headquarters.

The Wilderness Great World was not an isolated world; around it were over a dozen fragmented small worlds, also known as Grotto Heavens, as referred to by the Wild Beastmen.

These Grotto Heavens were also targets for the Wizards to conquer.

Under the direction of the headquarters, countless Floating Cities carrying millions of Wizards began making final preparations to cross the World Barrier.

Meanwhile, Garon the Great Wizard opened the gate to the Wizard Dimension and sent a message to the Curse Crown, who had been shielding fate all this while.

"The war has begun, please mislead fate accordingly."
