Era Of Castles: Starting With 99 Dragon Eggs

After a period of time, the old man in the lead brought the Great Magus and Leonhart to Mike's cave. After they sensed Mike's aura, which was getting stronger every minute, they left. Before they left, they also used a spell to wipe out Mike's aura, so that Mike could recover in peace.

Of course, Mike sensed the arrival of the three old men. Although he did not know the old man in the lead, he could roughly guess his identity based on the respect the Great Magus and Leonhart had for the old man. The old man should be the leader and guardian of the four Dragon Guardians Brothers.

Mike's thoughts did not linger on such an insignificant matter. He focused on guiding the divine power. When the divine power was sufficient, he would condense a new spirit and then absorb the divine power again. This series of actions continued for 42 years. After 42 years, Mike already had 10 spirit powers and 100 ordinary small spirits, as well as the black and white spirit in the middle. This also meant that Mike had already reached the peak of the heaven-tier, and was only one step away from the legendary divine-tier.

When Mike learned of this, he became slightly excited.

Suddenly, he frowned and found that there were hundreds of life forces above his head. There was a mix of strong and weak existences among these life forces. The strongest was at the heaven-tier, and the weakest was even at the low-tier!

Mike muttered to himself, "Isn't there nothing alive in the Northern Region? Then how did these people appear?"

Mike did not appear in front of the group directly. He teleported out and found a place to hide, wanting to observe the background of this group of people.

Soon, Mike's expression became a little strange. The group of people in his field of vision were all driving a humanoid puppet. The puppet was hundreds of feet tall and looked like a giant.

What really made Mike feel strange was that this group of people was actually mining Magic Crystal Ores!

Mike obviously knew how these Magic Crystal Ores came about. Those were the divine power impurities that he had eliminated after recovering over the years. There were too many divine power impurities, the place where Mike recovered was too far away from the ground. Therefore, the divine power condensed into Magic Crystal Ores on the spot.

Mike smiled bitterly. He was thinking about how he should go over and ask about the identities of this group of people, and then ask about what had happened to the other High-level cultivators.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mike decided to walk out just like that. He felt that his luck should not be that bad. He probably would not be able to meet a divine-tier expert the moment he appeared. If he were to only face those heaven-tier people, he was confident that the situation would be completely under his control.

He did as he was told. Mike turned into a stream of light and flew in front of that group of people. When that group of people saw that Mike had arrived, they were all greatly shocked. The person in the lead walked over with trepidation, bowed to Mike, and said, "I am the Snow Plains Auction House's supervisor. You can just call me Supervisor. May I know why you are here?"

Mike smiled and said, "You guys are digging out above my recovery cave abode, and you actually ask me why I am here? Don't you think this is a little ridiculous?"

Hearing this, the old man's face turned pale. He did not know whether Mike's words were true or false, but he knew that regardless of that, he was going to give up this Magic Crystal Ores mine today.

Unexpectedly, Mike said, "It doesn't matter. I'm going to leave this place soon. Let me ask you, since you're from the auction house, what happened in the Central Region during the last four days? What happened in the Northern Region? Why did so many people appear in the Northern Region, where I was originally alone? There were millions of life forces within a radius of 10,000 miles."

When the old man heard this, he was so shocked that he did not have time to think. He told Mike everything he knew about the Central Region and the Northern Region.

After Mike heard this, he was gradually shocked. Only now did he know that so many things had happened after he left.

It turned out that in the years he had been in the Northern Region, the entire High-level Summoner world had undergone earth-shattering changes. First was the Dark Magi, who had gained complete control of the Otherworld and the Northern Regio. They had wiped out most of the resistance.

When Mike heard this, his heart jumped. However, when he heard that the Snowstorm City was the only stronghold of resistance that was remaining, Mike sighed in relief. It was where the Dark High Priest was located.

In addition, the Dark Church had joined up with dozens of divine powers to prepare to fight against the Dark Magi together.

The Southern Region had long been prepared for the Dark Magi to attack them. Together with the divine powers from the Dark Church that had come to support them, they pincer attacked from both sides, the Dark Magi members were severely injured.

The supervisor suddenly thought of something and said to Mike, "I don't know if you've noticed, but recently, the divine powers in our bodies have been draining faster and faster. It's also becoming harder and harder for summoners to advance. I've heard that there hasn't been a new heaven-tier powerhouse in the three Central Regions. Also the Five Central Regions would have a dozen or so new heaven-tier powerhouses every year.

Hearing this, Mike's face became serious. The supervisor's words told him that the High-level barrier was becoming unstable, and there was even a small amount of divine power from another world seeping in.

He understood that the others did not have the Great Wilderness Qi Refining Technique or the Law of Perfection. It was very difficult for them to separate the divine power from another world, which led to their low recovery rate.

Mike understood that he had to put the matter of finding the dragon head on the agenda.

He asked, "How many people are there in the entire Northern Region now?"

The supervisor smiled apologetically. "I'm just a small supervisor. How would I know about this kind of thing? However, according to my guess, there are probably over 10,000 people in the entire Northern Region."

Although the supervisor was somewhat puzzled, he still answered Mike's question honestly.

Mike frowned. He had originally wanted to use the Northern Region as the location for his breakthrough because he still remembered the commotion when he broke through to the heaven-tier.

Now that he was about to break through to the divine-tier, the commotion would definitely be even greater than before.

Mike frowned. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He raised his head to look at the sky and smiled gently.

Mike asked, "Eve, tell me, how big an impact would I create when I break through to the next level?"

Eve thought for a moment and said,

"Not many. At least, it won't attract the attention of most people."

Mike nodded and said, "That way, after I break through, I can directly break through the High-level enchantment and go to the Outer Realm to find the dragon head. However, if I act rashly, I might get hurt. Alas, it's really difficult."

Mike's brows were tightly furrowed. He thought for a long time, and in the end, he still said to himself, "Finding the dragon head is the most important thing. Forget it, forget it. I'll just go straight to the Outer Realm after breaking through."

Thinking of this, Mike began to prepare for breaking through to the divine-tier.

In the past few years, Mike had rarely asked the three old men about breaking through to the divine-tier. Now that Mike thought of this, he could not help but feel a little regretful.

He could only start making preparations based on his own conjectures. In the next three years, he flew to the barrier in the sky and drew many complicated barriers on it every day.. The functions of these barriers were very simple, they were used to protect this High-level barrier and prevent it from being affected by the calamity of breaking through to the divine-tier.
