Panlong's Transcendental Fire

Chapter 23 The Mystery of the Sanctuary

Lin Tian took a deep breath and broke the silence first. He needed to know how much his grandfather and teacher knew about the profound mysteries of the laws, and to provide theoretical support for his later cultivation. So he asked, "Grandpa, Teacher Lao En, although I have entered the Saint Realm, I am still confused about how I became a Saint Realm cultivator. It feels like I suddenly achieved the Saint Realm without doing anything. What is the reason for this? Moreover, I know very little about the realm of the Saint Realm. I hope you two can enlighten me."

Potter nodded slightly, his eyes filled with expectation and solemnity: "Lin Tian, ​​do you remember what your teacher, Lauen, and I told you when you demonstrated the Transformation Fireball Technique? That was the key to becoming a Saint."

"You mean I've grasped the laws of fire?"

"That's not how it works. What you've grasped is merely the profound mystery of the 'Element of Fire.' The path to the Saintly Realm is vastly different from before. Stepping into the Saintly Realm means beginning to explore the realm of laws. However, laws are the fundamental rules governing the operation of this world, such as the elemental laws of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as more profound rules like life and death. Directly comprehending them is extremely difficult. Therefore, the profound mystery arises, and the profound mystery is a subdivision of laws and rules, representing a preliminary understanding of laws and rules."

Laun picked up the thread, his expression focused: "Just like your specialty, fire magic. Before reaching the Holy Land, you simply used spells to manipulate fire elements and cast spells. But now, you need to comprehend the mysteries of fire laws, such as the mystery of the 'Element of Fire,' which makes flames more flexible, unpredictable, and elusive. The mystery of 'Explosion' will give your flames greater destructive power. Comprehending each of these mysteries will allow your strength to leap forward qualitatively."

Lin Tian frowned slightly. Could the Holy Domain of the Mayan Continent really grasp such profound and complex knowledge? This felt increasingly incongruous. He then feigned thought and asked, "Teacher, how can one comprehend these mysteries?"

After a moment's thought, Lao En slowly said, "There is no fixed method to comprehend profound mysteries. Some Saint-level experts gain enlightenment in battle, amidst life and death; others observe the changes in the elements in nature; still others achieve enlightenment through meditation, where their spirit resonates with the heavens and earth. This requires you to feel and experience it with your heart."

Potter continued, "Taking myself as an example, what I comprehended was the 'Profound Mystery of Explosion' within the Fire Element Laws. Over the years, I often spent time near active volcanoes, feeling the power of their eruptions, and gradually, I gained some understanding. When using combat techniques, I can incorporate this profound mystery, making my attacks as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption."

A look of understanding flashed in Lin Tian's eyes: "Grandpa, do you mean I should spend more time in nature and gain insights through practice?"

Potter smiled and nodded: "That's right. But it's not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires a long time and countless attempts. Moreover, there are many mysteries within a single law, and to comprehend them all is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even a mid-level god like Leo I was only proficient in a portion of these mysteries."

Lin Tian's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked, "So, does that mean we just need to comprehend more profound mysteries in our cultivation?"

Potter glanced at Lauen and said, "That's not how it works. Before reaching the Holy Realm, cultivation requires fully comprehending a profound mystery to become a lower-level god. But god-level cultivation has another path: the fusion of profound mysteries."

Laun was very surprised to hear this, but after looking at his old friend, he did not ask any questions.

Lin Tian's heart stirred: "Grandpa, what exactly is this profound fusion you mentioned?"

Potter's expression turned serious as he said, "When you comprehend multiple profound mysteries, if you can fuse them together, you can unleash power far exceeding that of a single mystery. For example, fusing the 'Element of Fire' and the 'Mystery of Explosion' from the fire element not only gives the flames immense destructive power but also allows them to track targets more flexibly, making them impossible to defend against. This method of fusion is extremely difficult, requiring a profound understanding and comprehension of the mysteries."

Potter added, "However, the fusion of profound mysteries is extremely difficult. It's generally only necessary to engage with it after becoming a god. Cultivation in the Holy Realm is more about fully comprehending a profound mystery and becoming a god as quickly as possible. After becoming a god, one can then comprehend the fusion of profound mysteries. At this point, the fusion of profound mysteries not only enhances strength but is also the key to breaking through to higher levels. Among higher-level mid-gods and high-gods, the degree of fusion and comprehension of profound mysteries plays a decisive role."

Lin Tian nodded slightly, but he was even more puzzled: If they even knew about the profound fusion, surely no one from the Mayan continent had returned from the divine plane!

He then asked, "Grandpa, is it possible to comprehend multiple profound mysteries during the Holy Realm?"

Potter looked at Lin Tian and said earnestly, "Lin Tian, ​​you are exceptionally talented. You have entered the Saint Realm at such a young age. This is your advantage, but it is also your disadvantage. You subconsciously think that comprehending profound mysteries is easy. All those in the Saint Realm who have comprehended the mysteries are geniuses. However, many people are stuck at this step. Their strength does not improve at all even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, and their hope of becoming a god is slim."

Lin Tian's expression was firm: "I will act according to my ability, and I will stop in time if it really doesn't work."

Potter gave Lin Tian a deep look, knowing he wouldn't give up easily, and could only say helplessly, "I hope so!"

The scene froze for a moment.

Seeing this, Laun broke the awkward silence: "Potter! The ability to become a god through profound comprehension is common knowledge among all the powerful figures in the Holy Domain of the entire continent. So, what about profound fusion?"

Lin Tian was extremely surprised. Everyone in the Holy Realm of the entire continent knew that fully comprehending the profound mysteries could lead to godhood, but no one knew about the profound mysteries fusion that could greatly enhance combat power and allow for further advancement. Could it be that my ancestor returned to the Mayan continent from the divine plane? No, wait! Leo I was only a mid-level god! Could it be the beginning of time, before the main gods had fully returned to their positions? No, that can't be either; magic was already perfected. Was this something the main gods did to spread their faith?

Leaving aside Lin Tian's current mental whirlwind, Potter looked at Lauen and replied, "Didn't you agree when I invited you to join the Leo Empire? This kind of information is only known to core members within the three great empires; others can only know about the profound matters of becoming a god."

Lauen glanced at Lin Tian, ​​who was still deep in thought, and nodded, thinking of Lin Tian's talent, saying, "It's because of Lin Tian, ​​isn't it?"

Hearing his name called brought an end to the storm in Lin Tian's mind, and he looked up in confusion.

Potter nodded and said, "Yes. I met with Ancestor Leo a while ago and told him about Lin Tian's talent and that Lin Tian had already comprehended the element of fire. I asked if I needed to bring Lin Tian over. The Ancestor said that since you have already joined the Leo Empire and Lin Tian's cultivation progress under your tutelage is very rapid, you don't need to bring Lin Tian to see him. You can bring Lin Tian and you to see him after Lin Tian reaches the Holy Domain. Since the Ancestor met with you, it means that he has accepted you as one of his own. You can also know about the profound fusion. Let's go, I'll take you to see the Ancestor."

Lauen and Lin Tian nodded, and the three of them walked out of the room and took to the air.

P.S.: The other two chapters will still be a little late. I'll try to resume normal updates in the next day or the day after!
