  However, there were still many things that Lin Li needed to settle. Hence, he didn't intend to receive anyone. He simply told Gavin and the others to discuss and make their own decisions about the business cooperation. He also notified the forces that there would be a meeting in the Breezy Plains in a month's time.

  After giving instructions on those two matters, Lin Li focused on the things that he had to handle. Meanwhile, the people outside the Tower of Dusk got into a huge uproar because of the news. Is the Tower of Dusk going to issue an ultimatum to all forces? Or are they going to re-establish the structure of forces in the Breezy Plains like what the Ashen Warlock had done?

  The members of the various forces began making all sorts of speculations, but no one dared to question if the Tower of Dusk was qualified to hold a meeting like that.

  However, some of them felt that the Tower of Dusk seemed to be provoking and challenging the authority of the Ashen Warlock by doing so. Although they were both Sanctuary powerhouses, the Ashen Warlock had already entered the Sanctuary-realm back in the Dark Age, and there was a huge difference between him and Lin Li, who had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm. When the time came, there would probably be a good show.

  However, at this moment, Lin Li had already arrived at the Eternal Furnace at the top of the Tower of Dusk. After entering the Sanctuary-realm and getting a better understanding of the nomological power, he had already possessed the ability to fulfill his agreement with the Ashen Warlock, and that was to create a genuine perfect body with the crystal coffin.

  Of course, the perfect body would still be different from the one created by the Immortal King, who had created an actual life, and not an empty shell with no sentience. Fortunately, the Ashen Warlock only needed a new body, and Lin Li had only made some modifications to Osric's method according to the notes written down by the Immortal King.

  Underneath the crystal giant coffin, there were large mageweath arrays, emitting shocking magical waves that were surging towards the crystal coffin like tides. It made the entire crystal coffin seem even more transparent, reaching the extent that it seemed to have ceased to exist. In the crystal coffin, there was a human body that was glistening with countless magic symbols and moving up and down with the waves of mana. The perfect body did not emit the terrifying power that could destroy heaven and earth. Instead, it seemed to have become one with the world, as if it was constantly shifting between a physical body and nothingness.

  Looking at the body in the crystal coffin, Connoris, who had always been Lin Li's assistant, could not help but salivate. He could feel that that body was much stronger than his own, and was what a truly perfect body was like. If he could own such a body too, he would probably be able to enter the Sanctuary-realm in no time.

  The materials that Lin Li had received from the Ashen Warlock were more than enough to create a perfect body, and it was entirely possible to create another identical body. Unfortunately, it was completely different from manipulating another Alchemy Colossus. Connoris' soul had already fused with the perfect body created by Osric, and it definitely wouldn't be easy to separate them.

  "Well, once I fulfill the agreement with the Ashen Warlock, I can perfect your current body, or at least make up for those flaws as much as possible," said Lin Li who tried to comfort Connoris while completing the final steps of creating the perfect body.

  The mageweath arrays that had been continuously operating for over 10 days gradually became dimmer as the light was eventually extinguished. The giant crystal coffin seemed to have broken free as it was no longer as transparent as it used to be. It returned to the translucent state that it originally was in.

  After creating the perfect body that the Ashen Warlock needed, Lin Li finally walked out of the Tower of Dusk for the first time in a while, but he did not attract anyone's attention. After stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, the mana fluctuations of Lin Li's body fused with the entire world like a drop of water fusing with the ocean. Only a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm would be able to sense the Sanctuary-realm fluctuations.

  While everyone was unaware, Lin Li had already arrived in the sky above the small Gran Town in the northern part of the Breezy Plains. He then descended on the small square in front of the Tower of Ashes. There was an old servant who was taking a nap on the steps in front of the gate with a broom in his arms. He only yawned and took a look when the door behind him suddenly opened. However, he still did not move.

  Many of the forces in the Breezy Plains had all thought about the actions that the Ashen Warlock would take against the newly advanced Sanctuary powerhouse. Hence, in Gran Town, there were already many snitches from the various forces who had, of course, indirectly allowed the residents of Gran Town to make some small profits.

  Hence, as soon as Lin Li appeared in front of the Tower of Ashes, the people of those forces immediately rushed forth and surrounded the tower like flies that had smelled the odor of blood. However, due to the conditions of this world, they couldn't pass on the news to their respective superiors in time. They could only carefully watch the situation unfold from afar.

  Unfortunately, all they could see was Lin Li walking into the Tower of Ashes, after which the doors slowly closed, while the old servant continued to nap on the steps. No one knew what was happening in the Tower of Ashes. However, after waiting for a moment, they saw the Ashen Warlock escorting Lin Li out of the tower. Lin Li then vanished in the sky, while the old servant returned to the tower.

  What a joke, the Ashen Warlock was a god of the Breezy Plains and a powerhouse who had been in the Sanctuary-realm for thousands of years. How could he have done such a degrading thing!? The leaders of the various forces mostly only received the news two or three days later, and the first thing they thought was that it was impossible.

  However, did that mean that the witnesses had all seen it wrong? At this moment, they finally remembered the fact that the Ashen Warlock seemed to have been quite biased towards Lin Li during the last gathering at Gran Town. Back then, Lin Li was already at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and was a strong Legendary powerhouse, but compared to the Ashen Warlock, he was clearly just like an insignificant small fry. However, it was different this time. Lin Li was already a real Sanctuary powerhouse, and even though he had only advanced recently, he was of equal status with the Ashen Warlock. He was just like a child who wouldn't be treated as nothing by an a.d.u.l.t even though he wasn't as powerful as an a.d.u.l.t.

  Besides, the leaders of the various forces also made a conjecture based on the fact that the Ashen Warlock had personally walked Lin Li to the gate. They reckoned that the two Sanctuary powerhouses had probably reached some agreement, and, at the very least, no matter what the Tower of Dusk was going to do next to the forces in the Breezy Plains, they couldn't hope for the Ashen Warlock to stop him.

  Could it be that they were really going to unify Breezy Plains!? Plenty of them were becoming more and more certain of that conjecture. Otherwise, what did Lin Li talk to Ashen Warlock about? Did he visit him out of nowhere just to ask for advice regarding the Sanctuary-realm?

  Unfortunately, there was still quite some time to go before the meeting that Lin Li organized in the Breezy Plains. The crowd had no choice but to continue being suspicious. Moreover, they also discovered the sad fact that when they were facing a powerful Sanctuary powerhouse, they didn't seem to have the strength to change anything no matter what the other party wanted to do.

  Lin Li sent a new body to the Ashen Warlock, and as soon as he returned to the Tower of Dusk, he immediately began modifying Connoris' body. In order to get to the place where the World Tree had collapsed and obtain the Stars of Fury, Lin Li had to do everything he could to increase his strength. When the increase in his strength reached a bottleneck, improving the strength of the people around him could be a viable option as well.

  Having prior experience in creating a perfect body, it was even easier for Lin Li to modify the perfect body for Connoris. Beside
s, the one created by the Highlord Osric wasn't actually that bad. Although there were flaws, they were only relative.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99s-versatile-crafting-master_%!d(string=11275087605321405)/dragon-blood-essence_%!d(string=48698992770480311) for visiting.

  In fact, those flaws might not even have been a big problem for the Highlord Osric. After all, when the perfect body was pulled out of the crystal coffin back then, it already had level-26 or level-27 power that was in the Sanctuary-realm. However, the mismatch between Connoris' soul and the perfect body caused the flaws to be magnified, thus hindering him from entering the Sanctuary-realm.

  The modification of the perfect body was completed in just four days, and although Connoris could not possess Sanctuary-level power immediately like the Ashen Warlock, he had the possibility of entering the Sanctuary-realm.

  After the transformation of his body was complete, Connoris could clearly feel that he had better control over his body. Although he was not entirely in control, his body and his soul managed to fuse perfectly without the flaws, and it was as if he was born with a body.

  At this point, Connoris' strength had truly reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, and it probably wouldn't take long for him to step into the Sanctuary-realm. Even with just the strength of his perfect body now, he was still strong enough to compete with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses.

  Afterward, Lin Li used potions to deal with the dragon blood essence of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera that he had obtained in Brahere's mausoleum.

  Vampires could rely on devouring soul fire and absorbing blood essence to increase their strength, but the flaws in their bloodline would cause them to reach a bottleneck where they would never achieve a breakthrough. In order to break through, they would have to obtain a higher-grade blood essence to induce evolution of their bodies.

  That was also the reason Legendary-level Vampires were rare in the Vampire community. Besides, Norfeller had only been transformed into a Vampire, and he did not have the pure bloodline of Vampires like Culostein from the Darkness Shrine. If it weren't for the blood essence of the three green dragons that he had absorbed and the fusion with the power of their bloodline, Norfeller probably wouldn't have entered the Legendary-realm at all.

  The current Norfeller had power at the peak of level-23, and he could be considered to be on par with Culostein—the Vampire Ancestor. However, in order to further increase his strength, he would have to absorb blood essence of a more powerful bloodline that would allow him to evolve.

  In fact, the bloodline of ordinary ancient wyrms would be the most suitable for Norfeller now. Although the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was also an ancient wyrm, it was the elite of ancient wyrms that was second only to the five Dragon Aspects. The power contained in its blood essence was definitely hard to imagine for ordinary people. With Norfeller's current strength, he definitely couldn't withstand it.

  Even Culostein who possessed pure Vampire blood could not fuse with the blood of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, let alone Norfeller.

  However, that was not a problem for Lin Li. As a pharmaceutics Guru who had a certain understanding of the Sanctuary-realm, handling Sindera's blood essence was not exactly as easy as a pie, but it definitely wasn't that much harder than formulating a Guru-level potion. In no time, the bottle of blood essence from Sindera turned into a shimmering silver liquid, and the originally violent power was tempered.

  With Sindera's blood essence, Norfeller would not only face zero difficulties in breaking through the bottleneck, he would also likely become the first Vampire in Anril to enter the Sanctuary-realm.

  Apart from Lin Li who had entered the Sanctuary-realm, the other mages of the Tower of Dusk had also made plenty of gains from the exploration of Prince Brahere's mausoleum this time. They had experienced several vicious battles that they had never been through before, and the Magic Array had also been refined further. The Archmages who were at the peak of level-19 had also gained a lot of insights from the battles.

  After returning to the Tower of Dusk, the Archmages lowered their heads and began surging towards the Legendary-realm. In no time, there would probably be a large batch of Legendary-mages in the Tower of Dusk. By then, the Tower of Dusk would probably become a true Magic Land in the Breezy Plains.

  Finally, it was the day of the meeting held by the Tower of Dusk which would determine the fate of countless forces of various sizes in the Breezy Plains. After verifying the authenticity of Lin Li's advancement to the Sanctuary-realm and the intriguing relationship he seemed to have with the Ashen Warlock, no individual or force dared to question the authority of the notice.

  On this day, the leaders of the large- and medium-sized forces, including the Mithril Alliance, Caesar Family, Blood Moon Clan, and the Glittergold Trade Union, were all gathered at the Tower of Dusk. As for the smaller forces, the meeting wouldn't affect them much, as they would just be surrendering their benefits to a different person at most.

  Although the Tower of Dusk had been established for a short period of time, there were more and more people who joined the Tower of Dusk, and they were not just mages, but also talents in other fields, such as technicians from Forging Workshops. It was impossible to arrange for all of them to live in the Tower of Dusk. Hence, the Tower of Dusk was no longer just a tower that stood by itself in Doland. It had developed to the point where it was like a city. There were residences for mages to live and study in, Forging Workshops where magical weapons were constantly imported, and trading places for various products.

  However, they still couldn't afford a meeting place that could accommodate such a large number of people for now. After all, the Tower of Dusk wouldn't hold large-scale meetings that often, as everything could be decided by the 10-odd senior executives. There was no need to build a conference venue on purpose. Hence, this time, except for a few top forces, the leaders of all the other forces were arranged to wait in an open-air plaza for the meeting to take place.

  However, no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction with the arrangements made by the Tower of Dusk, and their current mood was actually similar to that of a criminal waiting to be sentenced. They were all thinking about what their fate would be in the future. No one cared about the details at all.

  The leaders of several top forces, as well as those who had long cooperated with the Tower of Dusk, such as Master William of the Time Consignment Store and Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family, were first invited to the Tower of Dusk. Hoffman and the longtime partners of the Tower of Dusk were naturally at ease and behaving normally.

  However, Joseph and Claus looked rather anxious and uneasy. Although Lin Li hadn't done anything to the two forces when they left the Gargas canyon, that didn't mean that the scores were settled. In their opinion, Lin Li would definitely hold the past against them.

  In fact, regarding that issue, the leaders of the various forces in the square outside were also making conjectures. Back then, the Mithril Alliance took the lead, and various forces jointly suppressed and boycotted the Tower of Dusk. That was a matter of fact that was known to everyone in the Breezy Plains. At this moment, everyone watched as Joseph and Claus were led into the Tower of Dusk with sullen expressions. Some were frightened, while some were waiting to see the two become laughing stocks.

  However, when Lin Li led Joseph and the others out of the Tower of Dusk, Joseph and Claus were somewhat relieved, even though they were not overjoyed. That was a surprise to the people outside.

  It was completely silent on the plaza, and everyone was quietly waiting for Lin Li to speak, and waiting to hear the verdict that might change their fate.

  In fact, the Tower of Dusk's unification of the forces of the Breezy Plains was something that people took for granted as Lin Li, who had already been powerful enough, actually stepped into t
he Sanctuary-realm. He also had an unusual relationship with the Ashen Warlock. If they were in his place, they would definitely do the same too. However, those who had yet to enter the Sanctuary-realm were on a completely different level from the Sanctuary powerhouse. How could they guess what the Sanctuary powerhouse was thinking?

  Actually, Lin Li didn't have that much to say, and he managed to get straight to the point of the meeting with just a few words, and that was to have all the forces submit to the Tower of Dusk. In fact, he just wanted to further establish the authority of the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains.

  Submission was still fundamentally different from unification, at least for the interests of the various forces, as the Tower of Dusk wouldn't bother to touch them. Commercial operations were another matter.

  The Tower of Dusk did not place much emphasis on territory. As Lin Li entered the Sanctuary-realm, the Tower of Dusk was bound to become the Magic Land of the Breezy Plains, and mages of all levels would definitely be attracted to it. Hence, Lin Li had no intention of expanding his territory.

  After hearing it straight from the horse's mouth, the crowd below felt like they were dreaming as they had initially thought that they might lose everything and have to say goodbye to the authority and prestige they enjoyed. However, in the end, they realized that things hadn't become as terrible as they thought. Submitting to the Tower of Dusk was nothing too unacceptable. After all, the other party was a strong Sanctuary powerhouse, and it wouldn't be embarrassing to do so. Other than that, there was no difference from before. Of course, they definitely couldn't provoke anyone from the Tower of Dusk, not even a trivial mage apprentice.

  Since reality wasn't as bad as they'd imagined it to be, they accepted it much quicker. Things definitely weren't as terrible as they'd expected. To them, submission to Lin Li was far better, and was simply tantamount to a bestowal of a gift as opposed to losing everything like they'd imagined.
