Chapter 82 Holy Domain Archmage
In the training room of the Bright Moon Community in the Swallowed Star World, Lin Yun sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, feeling the surging planetary power within his body. The six elemental domains circulated around him, forming an invisible force field that gently lifted everything in the training room.
At the very moment his mental power underwent a qualitative change and broke through to the planetary level—in the Panlong World of another dimension, Lin Yun's other body also underwent a tremendous transformation.
After spending a few days at Ernst Academy in the Monster Mountain Range, Lin Yun returned to the Monster Mountain Range to continue his arduous training.
The moonlight, like water, spilled onto Lin Yun's cross-legged figure. He had been sitting there quietly all night, with the seven elements of magic slowly flowing around him, like a layer of colorful halo.
Suddenly, his body jolted violently.
Within his sea of consciousness, the core of spiritual power accumulated over sixteen years suddenly exploded. Countless points of light spread in all directions, then contracted, condensed, and underwent qualitative change at an even faster pace. The spiritual power of a peak level nine mage experienced a qualitative leap at this moment.
Sanctuary.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, a flash of seven-colored light appearing and disappearing within them. His body slowly rose from the bluestone, hovering in mid-air—not through the power of wind magic, but through the true flight ability inherent to a Saint-level expert.
At this moment, he truly understood why there was an insurmountable gap between the Holy Domain and the Ninth Level.
A ninth-level mage's spiritual power is like a lake—vast yet ultimately finite. A saint-level mage's spiritual power, however, is like a boundless ocean, limitless and integrated with heaven and earth. This qualitative change is not merely an increase in quantity, but a leap in the level of one's life.
But what truly shocked Lin Yun was yet to come.
The seven-elemental super affinity only began to truly exert its power at the moment of breaking through to the Saint Realm.
Previously, his perception of the magical elements in the world was like looking through frosted glass—he could see them, but they were blurry. Now, that frosted glass had been completely shattered. The fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth surged into his senses like a tide, so clear they were terrifying.
The weight of the earth.
That was the "Earth Pulse" of the Earth System Laws—the earth's bearing power, heavy and unshakable. He sensed the earth's pulse, the vibration of every inch of land, the breath of every rock, all clearly reflected in his consciousness.
The explosion of fire.
That is the "profound mystery of explosion" in the fire element law—the essence of flame is not burning, but release. Every spark that bursts forth, every surge of heat, contains the dual power of destruction and rebirth.
The gentleness of water.
That was the "round and gentle mystery" of the water system's laws—water is formless and shapeless, yet it can penetrate stone and shatter metal. Softness is not weakness, but another form of strength. He sensed the resilience of water, that inexhaustible power that never yields to any pressure.
The drifting of the wind.
Those are the "Profound Mysteries of Speed" and "Profound Mysteries of Doppelgangers" of the Wind Laws—the wind has no fixed form; it can be as gentle as silk or as violent as a blade. Its speed surpasses the limits of what the naked eye can perceive, and its doppelgangers are everywhere.
The warmth of light.
That is the "speed of light" and the "mystery of refraction" of the laws of light—light is the fastest thing to exist; it illuminates the world and can also deceive the eyes. Reality and illusion become blurred in the refraction of light.
Dark and cold.
That is the "Dark Element Mystery" of the Dark Laws—darkness is not the opposite of light, but rather the other half of the universe. It encompasses everything, and it devours everything. Hidden within the darkness are unknown powers.
The shock of thunder.
Those are the lightning-based laws of "Lightning Speed," "Lightning Resonance," and "Lightning Explosion"—lightning is the most violent force, tearing the sky and shaking the earth. Its speed is extreme, its resonance can destroy everything, and its explosion can create new life.
The seven elements of law, along with countless profound fragments, twinkled in Lin Yun's consciousness like stars in the sky. They were no longer vague concepts, but clear, tangible, and perceptible entities.
Lin Yun hovered in the air, closed his eyes, and let the fluctuations of those laws wash over his soul.
At that moment, he felt as if he had transformed into a speck of dust in the universe, both insignificant and immense. Insignificant in his individuality, yet immense in his resonance with the entire world.
"This is the Holy Realm," Lin Yun murmured.
The leap from level nine to the Saint Realm represents a qualitative change in spiritual power. The leap from the Saint Realm to the God Realm represents the complete condensation of one's understanding of the laws, moving from fragments to a whole. He now stands on the threshold of the Saint Realm, with a long road ahead.
But his advantage is unmatched by others.
Over the past six months, he has cultivated dozens of secret techniques in the Panlong World—the Ninefold Thunder Blade, the Phantom Blade Technique, the Thunderclap Blade Technique, the Drifting Willow Body Technique, the Azure Wave Sword Technique, the Thick Earth Technique, the Fiery Tree and Silver Flowers… Each secret technique contains an understanding and application of the essence of power. Although these secret techniques are not of a high level, the profound fragments of laws contained within them are real.
He practiced these secret techniques simultaneously in two worlds, and the cultivation in the two worlds corroborated each other, allowing him to comprehend the laws at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Now that he has broken through to the Saint Realm, all those long-accumulated insights have surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.
The Laws of Lightning – the Profound Mysteries of Lightning Speed, Lightning Resonance, and Lightning Explosion. These three profound mysteries are simultaneously mastered.
The laws of light—the mysteries of the speed of light and the mysteries of refraction. Two mysteries to be explored simultaneously.
The Laws of Darkness—The Profound Mysteries of Dark Elements, a profound and mysterious field, just beginning.
The laws of the earth element—the power is profound, the earth-moving technique is profound; both are profound, and one must begin learning them simultaneously.
Fire Laws – The profound mysteries of the fire element and the mysteries of explosion, two profound mysteries, are entered simultaneously.
The laws of water—the enchanting mystery of mist and the sharp mystery of ice—two profound mysteries, which I entered simultaneously.
The Wind Element Laws – the profound mysteries of clone techniques and dimensional mysteries – two profound mysteries, which I entered simultaneously.
Seven laws and fourteen profound mysteries were simultaneously crossed at the moment of breaking through to the Saint Realm.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, his gaze filled with complex emotions.
"Fourteen profound mysteries..." he murmured.
On the Jade Orchid Continent, Saint-level powerhouses typically focus on only one system of laws, devoting all their energy to it in the hope of one day achieving godhood. Those who can comprehend two systems of laws simultaneously are already extremely rare geniuses. Those who can comprehend three systems simultaneously are even rarer, appearing only once every thousand years.
He cultivated all seven systems simultaneously, and entered the fourteen profound gates at the same time.
This isn't a matter of talent, but rather the result of two worlds mutually reinforcing each other. Dozens of secret techniques, months of arduous practice, and the accumulated insights from both worlds—all the effort has come together and exploded at this moment.
But Lin Yun quickly calmed down.
A complex mix of emotions welled up within him, a feeling he couldn't quite express. Simultaneously cultivating so many profound laws meant he needed to invest seven times, or even more, the time and energy of an ordinary person. Each law required deep comprehension, and each profound mystery demanded repeated refinement. This path was far more difficult than he had imagined.
"To become a lower-level god, one must at least fully comprehend one profound mystery," Lin Yun thought to himself. "Each time I fuse with another profound mystery, my strength will increase by one level. But fusing profound mysteries is a hundred times more difficult than comprehending them individually."
Throughout the history of the Yulan Continent, countless Saint-level experts have spent their entire lives unable to fully comprehend a single profound mystery, remaining only at the peak of the Saint-level and unable to become gods. He, however, needs to cultivate seven laws simultaneously.
"If I had only focused on one system, I might have become a god long ago." Lin Yun smiled wryly. "But cultivating seven systems simultaneously is the path I chose myself. No matter how difficult it is, I will continue on it."
He took a deep breath and cleared his mind of distractions.
After breaking through to the Saint Realm, his spiritual power surged, and his perception abilities also improved significantly. However, he also discovered a problem—the existing secret manuals were no longer sufficient.
The dozens of manuals he obtained from Hong were mostly S- and SS-grade, containing many fragments of profound laws, but at a limited level. He had already comprehended and digested most of them, and the remaining ones were no longer sufficient to support his continued in-depth comprehension of the laws.
"If I want to continue to progress rapidly, I need a lot of higher-level manuals," Lin Yun thought to himself.
However, he has already explored every secret technique on Earth. He has read and practiced Hong's "World Destruction," Thor's "Ninefold Thunder Blade," and other secret techniques left behind by powerhouses beyond the level of War Gods. But those secret techniques can only help him grasp the threshold of the laws at best. To advance further, he needs higher-level secret techniques—those from higher-level civilizations in the universe.
"It's almost impossible to leave Earth and head to space in the short term." Lin Yun frowned.
While there are many ancient civilization relics on Earth, most are remnants of ancient civilizations, containing very few cultivation secrets. He had just visited the No. 9 ancient civilization relic, where he obtained cultivation methods for spiritual masters, not secret methods for comprehending laws. Other relics might not contain what he needs either.
Therefore, the only place with a large number of advanced secret techniques is the Meteorite Star Inheritance.
The master of Meteorite Star is a powerful being in the universe, and his legacy must contain a large number of cultivation secrets, covering various profound paths to understanding the laws. If one can obtain those secrets, his speed of understanding the laws will be accelerated once again.
"It seems we need to find a way to accelerate Luo Feng's growth," Lin Yun decided.
Luo Feng is the destined successor of the Meteorite Star. Babata's choice of him is not without reason. Luo Feng's spiritual talent, childlike innocence, and unwavering will are all essential qualities for becoming the successor of the Meteorite Star. Lin Yun cannot replace him, nor does he need to. What he needs to do is give Luo Feng a push on his path of growth.
"Luo Feng is already a martial artist, but his strength is still too weak," Lin Yun thought to himself. "Once he grows for a while longer and reaches the level of a War God, Babata should appear. At that time, the Meteorite Star Inheritance will open, and I will be able to obtain those advanced secret techniques from it."
He wasn't in a hurry. Luo Feng's growth rate was rapid; according to the original timeline, he would reach the God of War level within a year. And now, with Lin Yun's help, that speed would only be faster.
"Before that, I need to consolidate my existing understanding of the laws." Lin Yun slowly descended from the air and sat cross-legged on the bluestone again.
Simultaneously entering the fourteen profound mysteries does not mean he has mastered them. Entering them is only the first step; what follows is continuous comprehension, practice, and real combat to truly transform these mysteries into his own fighting power.
The Saint-level experts on the Jade Orchid Continent all comprehend the laws step by step, and then use the profound mysteries of the laws they comprehend to create suitable attack techniques. Lin Yun, however, is the opposite—he comprehends the mysteries within each technique by practicing those techniques that contain a small amount of the profound mysteries of the laws.
The two paths lead to the same destination, but their efficiencies are vastly different!
"Although the existing secret techniques on Earth are not of a high level, they are enough for me to consolidate these rudimentary techniques that I have just begun to understand," Lin Yun thought to himself.
He closed his eyes and began to review every detail of those secret techniques in his mind.
The lightning power in *Ninefold Thunder Blade* corresponds to the speed and resonance of lightning in the lightning elemental laws. The speed and illusions in *Phantom Blade Technique* correspond to the speed and refraction of light in the light elemental laws, and the clone technique in the wind elemental laws. The explosive power in *Thunderclap Blade Technique* corresponds to the lightning explosion in the lightning elemental laws. The continuous flow in *Azure Wave Sword Technique* corresponds to the profound gentleness of water elemental laws. The steady and weighty nature of *Thick Earth Technique* corresponds to the profound power of earth elemental laws…
Each secret technique is a key, opening a door for him to the depths of the laws.
Lin Yun was so engrossed in the moment that he forgot the passage of time.
Moonlight shone on his shoulders, and the seven elements of magic danced merrily around him, as if celebrating his arrival.
Meanwhile, in another world, Lin Yun in the Devouring Starry Sky was also consolidating his newly broken-through planetary-level cultivation in the training room.
Two bodies, two worlds, cultivating simultaneously and promoting each other.
That is his greatest advantage.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, looked at the starry sky above, and smiled slightly.
"Peak of the Saint Realm," he said softly. "Seven elements of law, fourteen profound mysteries."
Although he has only just begun to grasp the profound mysteries of each discipline, his simultaneous cultivation of all seven elements and his endless array of techniques have made him virtually unmatched at the Saint Realm level. While his comprehension of a single element's laws may not surpass that of peak Saint Realm experts who specialize in only one, his seamless coordination and rotation of the seven elements make his fighting style unpredictable and ever-changing, making him impossible to defend against.
"Next, we just need to consolidate our gains and then wait."
We await Luo Feng's growth, the opening of the Meteorite Star inheritance, and even more advanced secret techniques.
During this waiting period, what he had to do was to repeatedly refine the fourteen profound mysteries, turning them from "beginner" to "master," and from "master" to "integration."
The road ahead is long, but he's not in a hurry.
Lin Yun closed his eyes again, his consciousness sinking into the ocean of laws.
