"Very good. It's not in vain that I value you so much.”This was the first thing the High Priest of the Yulan Empire said after seeing Lin Yue. His voice was filled with joy and a hint of shock.
"This is all thanks to Teacher's armor. If it wasn't for the armor that Teacher gave me, I wouldn't have been able to relax my mind and go through life and death training. I wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough in countless near-death battles, and I wouldn't have been able to come back alive to see you and have what I have today.”Lin Yue said gratefully.
Indeed, the armor that the Yulan High Priest had given Lin Yue had been of tremendous help to him in every aspect. Without it, he would not have been able to enter the volcano and open the doors to the profound mysteries of the fire element. Without it, even Lin Yue, who possessed the ability to kill, would not have dared to recklessly fight against the Saint-level magical beasts of the southern seas, and would have been able to continuously improve.
Although the High Priest didn't give Lin Yue any substantial guidance on cultivation, what he gave Lin Yue was more practical and meaningful than these teachings.
"What level of comprehension have you reached in the profound mysteries of the Laws?”The High Priest suddenly asked.
From Lin Yue, the High Priest could sense a powerful domain that was about to erupt. This domain was indescribable. As a Godhood who had cultivated the Edicts of Life, the High Priest didn't understand the other profound mysteries of the Laws, but this didn't hinder her perception and understanding of this domain. There was no doubt that this domain was the profound mysteries of the Laws.
In truth, any Saint-level expert was capable of concealing the profound mysteries they had comprehended. If they didn't act, it would be very difficult for others to find out. Lin Yue had indeed released it on his own accord.
As for checking the memories of the Saint-level soul…The High Priest was only a Demigod. Even if she became a God, as long as she didn't focus on the Dao of the soul, it would be extremely difficult for her to do so. The reason why Beirut was able to inspect the souls of people below the Deity level was because he himself was extremely powerful, having reached the level of a Highgod. In addition, because he had become good friends with Highgod Dunnington, who had become a Paragon in the Edicts of Death, he had done some research on the Dao of Souls. As a result, he was able to inspect the souls of people below the Deity level. As for the Divine level, he could only use "Enchantment", and this method could only be done by Divine level experts who were proficient in the study of the soul.
"I've only just comprehended it, so it's not too deep.”Lin Yue said calmly. No matter what, it was dangerous to casually reveal one's own things without knowing the other party at all and trusting the other party completely.
"Not bad, not bad. You are the most outstanding genius I have ever seen.”Behind the High Priest's mask, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"I heard that Teacher has taken in a new disciple.”Lin Yue suddenly mentioned.
"His name is Dixie, and he's a rare genius. He's extremely talented in magic, and he's from the same school as you.”The High Priest said happily.
"I know him. He's indeed a pretty good genius. If he was given enough time and opportunities, it should not be a problem for him to become a Divine level expert.”Lin Yue commented.
"Oh? You actually have such a high opinion of him.”The High Priest was a little surprised.
"I'm just talking about the matter." Indeed, Dixie had entered the Infernal Realm after his death, and he had actually become a Deity by himself and recovered his memories. This meant that he had the talent to become a Divine level expert.
"Are you mocking me?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded. A handsome young man with golden hair and an icy aura walked in.
"Speaking of which, you should call me senior brother.”Lin Yue had a mocking look on his face. He admired geniuses, and he admired geniuses who were willing to work hard. However, being too arrogant and condescending made him unhappy.
"Senior Brother." To Lin Yue's surprise, Dixie called out after a moment of silence. However, Lin Yue also noticed the hint of humiliation and unwillingness in Dixie's eyes.
In terms of age, Lin Yue was two years younger than Dixie, but in terms of talent, he was way ahead of Dixie. In terms of achievements, he was the youngest magus of the seventh and ninth ranks in history. All of this made Dixie feel suffocated. In the end, Lin Yue had become a Saint. Dixie, who had received a message from his teacher, the High Priest, also knew that Lin Yue was at the peak of the Saint realm.
This gap almost made Dixie lose any hope of catching up. But now, Lin Yue was his senior brother, and he had no choice but to address someone younger than him as his senior brother. How could the proud Dixie accept this? However, he had to accept it even if he couldn't. After all, Lin Yue was the disciple of the High Priest, and he was the disciple that the High Priest valued the most.
"So many years have passed. I've disappeared without a trace, and Linley has gone into seclusion. The two mountains that weighed down on you are gone. Do you think you can regain your pride? Let me tell you, before you truly become a powerhouse, all pride is nothing. The title of genius is even more worthless. Genius and powerhouse are two completely different concepts. A dead genius is not a genius, but a living powerhouse will always be respected by others. Which one are you going to do?" Lin Yue said sternly.
Dixie fell silent.
"I hope you can understand. As a disciple of our teacher and a classmate of Entus, I look forward to your growth.”Lin Yue said. The word 'anticipation' had elevated his current state of mind to a new height. He had long since distinguished himself from Dixie, and Lin Yue was also qualified to do so.
"Thank you." Dixie suddenly said in a low voice. He then raised his head, his eyes unusually bright."Senior apprentice-brother Michelle, I will go to the Sacred Zone to find you. No, I will reach the Divine level and be on equal footing with you!”
"I'll wait." Lin Yue smiled and didn't attack Dixie.
As his strength increased and his comprehension of the mysteries of the world increased, Lin Yue's attitude began to change. People and things below the Saint realm were like babies to him. Even if they were both Saints, Lin Yue no longer cared much about them. He only cared about the Deity realm.
"You haven't returned to the Starry Sky Castle for a long time.”The High Priest suddenly said.
"Alright, even if Teacher doesn't say it, I'll still go back.”Lin Yue said.
"Then, if there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave.”Lin Yue bowed and left with the High Priest's nod.
"Teacher, you've made Shixiong your successor, right?”Dixie suddenly said.
"Yes, after so many years, I finally saw the hope of freedom. The Yulan Empire has been holding me back for far too long, and Michelle is my hope to inherit all of this. And I can now venture into the Higher Planes.”The High Priest said in a melancholic tone.
Just like the War God O'Brien, the High Priest was also a person who had ties, and their ties were their own countries. The War God had founded the O'Brien Empire, while the High Priest had founded the Yulan Empire. After so many years, not only had the ties between the two empires not become lighter, they had instead grown deeper.
The War God O'Brien knew that the O'Brien Empire was still alright. It was considered a military power, but the Yulan Empire was already decaying. If it wasn't for the High Priest, the Yulan Empire would have been destroyed long ago. However, the High Priest was only tied to the Yulan Empire. He didn't care much about territory. As long as the Yulan Empire existed, her ties would never be severed, and she would never allow them to be severed. Thus, in the past ten thousand years, the Yulan Empire had experienced many divisions. In the end, it had fallen from a glorious state of unifying the continent to an empire on the side of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. The High Priest had not cared much about it, because the Yulan Empire was still around, and it was still the most powerful empire.
However, as time passed, the High Priestess, who had yet to break through, began to look towards the Higher Planes. However, the Yulan Empire was still here, and she couldn't leave. And once she left, the Yulan Empire, without a Deity to suppress it, would definitely be destroyed. Thus, for the past ten thousand years, she had continuously selected the geniuses of the Yulan Empire and accepted them as disciples, all in the hopes that one of them would be able to inherit her hopes.
After 10,000 years, this hope had appeared, and it was Lin Yue. That was why the High Priestess valued Lin Yue so much. She did not hesitate to protect Lin Yue when he was weak. After Lin Yue acknowledged her as his master, she gave him the divine armor that she had painstakingly refined and nurtured with divine power.
Lin Yue did not disappoint her. Although he had disappeared for ten years, the High Priestess was not too worried because Lin Yue had her armor. After disappearing for ten years, not only did Lin Yue break through to the Saint realm, but he had also mastered the profound mysteries of the Laws. The High Priestess was shocked by his talent, but she was also very happy. As for jealousy, she did not feel it at all. After ten thousand years of cultivation and experience, the High Priestess 'mentality was extremely strong. As a cultivator of the Edicts of Life, she had a state of mind that could accommodate everything.
"Don't disappoint me." The High Priestess murmured. Her voice was gentle and pleasant. It was a woman's voice.
Although Lin Yue had comprehended the Occult, he was only half a step into the God Realm. The key to becoming a God was to master the Occult. The High Priest, who had experienced this, knew how difficult the last step was.
While the High Priest gave Lin Yue great hope, Lin Yue was already on his way home. In less than 10 minutes, Lin Yue returned to the Starry Sky Castle. The speed of the Saint-level Purple Thunder Flame Eagle was obvious.
"Mother." The figure with a hint of nobility and a gentle aura was standing on the wall of the Starry Sky Castle. His eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was looking forward to something.
