Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2661: Chapter 548: Dusk Walker, Wanxiang Magic Card, Extreme Species!

A knock on the door was heard.

"Come in."

"Grand Council Chairman, did you need something from me?"

"Yes, you’ve reached the ninth-circle, and there are some things that should be passed on to you. You might have heard something about it from other wizards."

"Sorren’s Sky Stealing Technique?"

"That’s right."

As he spoke, Edmund took a book from the shelf.

"What do you think oddities are?"

"They are the rare treasures nurtured by Heaven and Earth, and the transcendent creations of all things."

"What we wizards cultivate and research, what we discover and acquire, are all but a drop in the vast universe. We cannot truly transcend the universe to exist. Ultimately, everything, all truths, are just the flow and transformation of matter within the universe.

The foundational elemental particles that make up our flesh might come from a Sun that died over a billion years ago. Millions of years later, our bodies might become a weed by the roadside. The same logic applies to oddities; their origins can be boiled down to two paths:

Firstly, they are born in places extremely rich in elements and energy, which is innate nurturing.

Secondly, after some extraordinary existences die, the traces of their existence recondense. This is acquired nurturing, and the majority of oddities we’ve discovered are born this way.

Innately nurtured oddities are very rare, and their birth process is extremely long. They often appear in the form of legendary artifacts.

You must have seen the Illustrated Guide of Strange Items. It records some legendary artifacts. [The Evolution Stone], [The Mortal Circle]... These oddities were born even older than wizard civilization. They might themselves be a manifestation of the universe’s rules and truths.

When transcendent beings, especially wizards, fall, the knowledge and traces they once acquired do not disappear directly. Instead, they attract and gather elemental power and other transcendent particles, gradually becoming Truth Oddities.

Understanding the basic principle that oddities do not emerge from nothing, you then know that Sorren’s Sky Stealing Technique is such a method of plundering from the outside!

In the eyes of outsiders not of our kind, this technique will seem very evil and forbidden! In fact, it truly is... To continuously rise higher, competition is ultimately needed.

Compete with people, compete with the Earth, and compete with the Heavens!

Of course, powerful techniques inevitably come with a price. The universe is always tirelessly maintaining the Path of Balance, and you’ll understand as you read."

As he spoke, Edmund handed over the book.

Sorren’s Sky Stealing Technique!

Levi put it away.

"Thank you, senior, I will study it carefully."

"Hmm, go back."

...

Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Levi studied the newly acquired technique day and night.

After reading, his expression was solemn.

"This Sky Stealing Technique is indeed somewhat evil."

The Sky Stealing Technique is not a specific spell.

But a whole knowledge system.

Levi summarized and outlined it in the following three steps.

[Plunder], [Exchange], [Refinement].

Plundering needs no further explanation.

It uses all means.

Plundering is used to obtain raw materials for making oddities.

For example, when making a Sun Refining Artifact [Flame Emperor’s Sword].

The material could be a medium-sized plane rich in fire elemental power.

Or it could be a Flame Demon at the level 9 late stage.

Of course, a Grand Wizard of the Burning School of Thought would be better.

This is the main ingredient.

The other materials have deep complexities as well.

As for [Exchange],

it requires something of equal value to accelerate the nurturing of an oddity.

It could be Aether Stone and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures;

It could be flesh, life force, or even lifespan;

It could be memories, knowledge, or even emotions and desires;

It could also be other oddities;

It could even be the life of the most cherished person.

Anything extremely important to the creator can be used for exchange.

This point is somewhat similar to [Sword of Victory].

But even more ruthless in its methods!

Oddities birthed by the Sky Stealing Technique are inevitably acquired oddities.

They mature faster than those naturally formed in the wild.

So this comes with a price.

Finally, using the constructed [Heaven Stealing Array] to refine the oddity.

This technique can create any currently discovered level of oddity.

From the Earth to the legendary.

Levi estimated that the reason the Council Treasury could continuously supply oddities.

Is not unrelated to this technique.

At the same time, he also understood.

Why this technique is only allowed for use by Grand Wizards or above.

First, the knowledge involved in the technique itself is too profound, ordinary wizards would find it hard to grasp and use.

Second, this technique is actually a legal "forbidden technique". If widely acquired by wizards, it would surely lead to chaos in the order of civilization.

Sauron’s original intention for creating this technique was probably to enable the wizard civilization to plunder externally. However, due to limitations in strength and outlook, mid to low-level wizards will surely only set their targets for plunder and exchange within their own land, friends, and family, even...

That’s true societal collapse. From top to bottom, it would be people devouring people, with wizard civilization returning to the Dark Forest times of the Antiquity Age.

Even legendary wizards like the Dragon Flame God were ruthless killers in their youths, which is the limitation of their realm.

In general, the character of wizards improves with advancement in realm; once they’ve seen higher mountains, they won’t confine their sights to a single corner. Immersing in the torrent of history allows one to understand the importance of civilization to an individual.

And upon reaching legendary wizard status, their character can be as saints to civilization. Only a very few degenerates rebel against civilization.

Moreover, all Grand Wizards are subjected to official regulation by the congress. Sorren also left many contingencies to restrain those at the pinnacle of the pyramid. Even if some unstable factors arise, they can be swiftly found and quelled.
