After bidding farewell to the Ernst Institute, Leo took the Lightning Leopard and headed straight for the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
After reaching Leo's level, if he wanted to improve, he could only fight with Sanctuary-realm powerhouses or constantly comprehend the laws. Leo knew this very well, so his purpose for going to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was simple.
First, to allow himself to be closer to nature and comprehend laws faster.
Secondly, in order not to affect the original plot too much. After all, in the original novel, the events that had affected Linley greatly were his breakup and Doehring Cowart's death.
If Leo was by his side, Linley wouldn't even be able to meet Alice, let alone be heartbroken. If Linley were to meet another woman who truly loved him, then Linley's fighting spirit would very likely disappear, let alone the sculpture of Awakening from the Dream, which would allow him to make a huge leap in power.
Doehring Cowart's death was also very necessary. If Doehring Cowart hadn't died, Linley probably wouldn't have been able to make up his mind to enter the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. If he hadn't been able to enter the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts at that time, it was very likely that Linley wouldn't have been able to lay a solid foundation for his future comprehension of the Profound Truths of the Earth.
The central region of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was rarely visited by humans all year round. Magical beasts of the seventh or even ninth rank would occasionally appear here. Most likely, only experts of the ninth rank would have the courage to cross the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. This time, Leo came to the central area and followed the central axis of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to the north.
This was basically the same route as Linley's in the original novel. However, unlike Linley in the original novel, Leo didn't directly avoid the territory of those Saint-level magical beasts.
At this moment, Leo was only wearing sackcloth pants. His upper body was naked, and his feet were bare. Carrying the divine sword Purple Lightning on his back, he walked step by step in this deserted place.
Avis stood beside Leo and followed him step by step.
Leo stepped on the thick pile of dead leaves with a calm expression. His bag, clothes, and other items were directly put into the dimensional ring.
Leo's biggest goal for this trip was to comprehend the laws, followed by the warrior's cultivation. Leo hadn't trained as hard as Linley, so in terms of the basics of a warrior, he wasn't even as good as Linley.
"I'll start from the basics." Leo was very pragmatic at the moment. He carried the divine sword Purple Lightning on his back every day. Leo would experiment with all kinds of basic movements, such as hacking, slashing, and stabbing. Every time, he would incorporate the mysteries he had comprehended and try his best to increase his attack power.
However, Leo wasn't practicing without a change. He was constantly comprehending and thinking. The fusion of profound mysteries was of utmost importance.
With his upper body bare, Leo felt the wind blowing on his body. He felt as if he had merged into the world of wind, as if the entire space was under his control. Leo was certain that what he had comprehended was the Wind Space Occult of the Laws of Wind.
It was night, and endless darkness enveloped the entire forest. Leo felt like he was a small boat that had been swallowed by darkness overnight. Leo opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to have turned into two black holes, constantly devouring everything around him. Leo's understanding of the Law of Darkness's Devouring Occult deepened.
Lying on the pool, he could clearly feel the water of life gently caressing his body. When he dived into the water, his heart was as warm and gentle as flowing water. Leo's movements became gentler and gentler.
That was why.
This made Leo feel like he was floating in the wind, gentle as water, and at the same time, endless darkness that devoured everything. These feelings were originally rebellious, but strangely, they appeared on one person, and they were so natural and coordinated.
The warrior focused on gaining insights into the profound mysteries of the Laws, supplemented by his training, and occasionally meditated. Just like that, Leo entered a special state of cultivation.
Sometimes, when he saw a surging waterfall in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Leo would have a sudden impulse to train under the waterfall.
Leo would probably wander in the water if he saw a pure river.
………………
Do as you please.
Leo's heart was closer to nature than ever before. In this kind of cultivation, Leo completely forgot the passage of time and himself. He only felt that his strength was improving every day. Every improvement made him happy and moved from the bottom of his heart.
The path of cultivation was long and winding.
This path was extremely difficult, but as he continued to advance, he was able to comprehend and gain insights, which was truly touching.
……………………
Two years later.
"Rumble ~~~"
The waterfall, which was nearly a hundred meters tall, crashed down from the high ground and smashed heavily into the deep pool below, causing countless splashes. Beside this deep pool, there was a protruding rock leaning against the waterfall.
There was a person sitting cross-legged on the stone. He carried a purple longsword on his back.
It was early in the morning. The sky was just beginning to brighten. In the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Leo greedily took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
"Last night, under this waterfall, I simultaneously gained insights into the Profound Mysteries of Roundness and Devouring. The results were quite good!”Leo suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself," Now I feel that the fusion of these two mysteries has taken another step forward.”
"Avis, you can move freely!”Leo suddenly ordered the Thunder Leopard." Let's practice here for a few more days!”
"Yes, Master!"
With that, Leo closed his eyes and stood up. Then, his whole body relaxed and he began to slowly punch again. Leo had created this set of fist techniques when he was fighting with Hogg. He had comprehended the Occult of Roundness and Softness for a year in the academy. In the end, he had integrated the Occult of Devouring. His current fist technique was already very different from before.
Direct attack, side attack, counterattack, feint, charge…There was no combat energy fluctuation. The most basic fist moves were executed by Leo. Each movement was coherent and without any smoke.
Strangely enough, the water of the waterfall circled around Leo, but at the same time, it seemed to be swallowed up. These two completely opposite strange feelings appeared at the same time.
At this moment, Leo clearly felt the greatness of this world. Then, he gradually let go of his spirit and completely integrated into this world. In this current, Leo seemed to have fallen into the realm of the integration of heaven and man mentioned by Taoism in his previous life.
Of course, the appearance of the integration of Heaven and man realm was not based on the level of cultivation. Sometimes, when one had just entered a level, they might encounter it by chance. Moreover, in this realm that cultivators dreamed of, the number of comprehensions and benefits they obtained was also not based on the level of cultivation. Two people with the same cultivation level might have a breakthrough in their level, but the other had nothing.
Suddenly-
A breeze blew past.
This gust of wind was like a drop of water falling into the ripples on the surface of the water. The profound mysteries of Devouring and Roundness, which had been slowly fusing under the Union of Heaven and Man, suddenly stopped, and then continued fusing in a different way.
He didn't know how much time had passed. It might have been an instant, an afternoon, or a month. Leo just punched quietly. As time passed, his fist technique changed again.
The fist technique, which was originally gentle and gentle, gradually gained a trace of an unusual concept. This concept caused the power of the fist technique to soar again.
Upon closer inspection, the water around Leo seemed to have stopped flowing and then gradually dissipated…
Slowly, Leo opened his eyes again and looked at the skeleton not far away in confusion."Avis, how long have I been cultivating? What's with this bone?"
"Master, you've been in this state for almost nineteen days!”" Yes, Master." The Lightning Leopard answered honestly," Nine days ago, a magical beast of the eighth rank came nearby. To prevent it from disturbing Master's cultivation, I ate it!”
"Yes!" Leo smiled." You did a good job. This realization is too important for me! In the future, if he were to find such a situation, he would deal with it in the same way!”
"Yes, Master!"
"This time, I put all my heart and soul into my cultivation. That breeze came at the right time, just at the critical moment of my fusion. After this epiphany, my Profound Mysteries of the Space of the Wind began to fuse with the Profound Mysteries of Devouring and Roundness. Given my current state of fused profound mysteries, I should be able to become a Deity within fifty years.”Leo was feeling great." Not only that, but I've also advanced in warrior level. I'm a level-seven warrior now. After transforming, I'll be a beginner at level-nine…"
To become a Demigod, one had to completely comprehend a certain profound mystery. However, there was another situation, and that was the fusion of profound mysteries. Regardless of whether it was a profound mystery of the same type or a profound mystery of a different type, as long as one fused it to a certain extent, one could become a Deity. This was also why, in the original novel, Beirut was able to predict when Linley and Olivier would become Deities, but not when Fain and the others would become Deities.
The fusion of three profound mysteries generally required two to completely fuse together, and then the fusion of the three profound mysteries as a whole.
However, if one could find the point of convergence between the three profound mysteries at the very beginning of their comprehension, and no longer comprehend them individually, but instead fuse them together, then it would be equivalent to directly fusing all three profound mysteries together. In the future, when all three profound mysteries were mastered at the same time, all three profound mysteries would simultaneously reach a bottleneck.
This situation was very similar to the original version of Linley's training in the Laws of the Wind. After Linley had fused the Profound Mysteries of Speed and Speed, he had only reached a bottleneck at the God level. In other words, Linley's initial fusion of the two profound mysteries had caused the two bottlenecks of the two profound mysteries to become a single bottleneck, but this bottleneck was far more important than any of the two bottlenecks.
Leo was in such a situation. Right now, he had completely fused the Space of Wind of the Laws of Wind, the Softness of the Laws of Water, and the Devouring of the Laws of Darkness into one profound mystery. As he continued to comprehend, these three profound mysteries would reach great success at the same time when they were completely fused. At that time, Leo's profound mysteries would directly reach the Asura level.
"Sigh!" Leo thought about it carefully, then sighed." Three different types of Elemental Occult into one. I guess my practice is unprecedented. I really don't know when I'll be able to master it…"
Although this was a great opportunity, it was equivalent to extending the time for Leo to become a god indefinitely.
Only by comprehending and fusing profound mysteries at the same time would it be relatively easy to reach the Paragon level. Leo's situation was different from Linley's. For now, he didn't dare to directly master a single profound mystery, so he could only focus on comprehending this fused profound mystery.
"An epiphany!" Leo's eyes suddenly lit up." I must experience this kind of epiphany a few more times to save countless hours!”
