Teaching the Little Maid

After Elder Kunyan and Roy finished their battle, a group of elders gathered around them.

Everyone had witnessed Roy's battle with Elder Kunyan.

He was powerful, yet he did not bully others. Whenever Elder Kunyan was caught off guard, Roy would even slow down and wait for Elder Kunyan to recover before continuing.

Someone like him was worth getting to know and associating with.

"Shoo, shoo. What are you all thinking? Don't think I don't know."

Elder Kunyan rolled his eyes, but he still introduced everyone to Roy.

"Roy, this green-haired old man is Nelson, a Fire Element Seven-star Demon."

"This bearded fellow is Mars. Like you, he's an Earth Element Seven-star Demon."

"And this one is Dennis, a Water Element Seven-star Demon."

"This is Adelaide, also a Water Element Seven-star Demon."

"This one..."

With Elder Kunyan's introductions, Roy became acquainted with more than a dozen Seven-star Devil Elders.

When they later heard that Roy intended to nurture his Divine Artifact through battle, they all offered to help.

And so, amid their enthusiasm, Roy fought more than a dozen additional battles.

From them, Roy also learned that, like Elder Kunyan, they had completely fused only two Profound Mysteries of Laws.

Then, they each possessed several moves that fused Four Law Profound Mysteries, raising their strength to the Seven-star Demon Level.

Roy was certain that ninety-nine percent of the people in this world followed the same path as these elders.

The invincibility of a Paragon was not merely an empty claim.

A Paragon completely fused all six Profound Mysteries of Laws. Their defense, speed, attack, and soul permanently remained in a "Paragon" state, without any weakness. Combined with the hundredfold boost of Grand Perfection Willpower, a Paragon High-level God was a thousand times stronger than an Asura Prefect.

If one also counted their ultimate moves, which could unleash several times their normal strength, the gap in power would be even greater.

After bidding farewell to the elders, Roy returned to his castle.

"L-Lord Roy, I-I've cleaned the castle."

When Roy opened the castle door, he was greeted by a little maid covered in dust.

The rag in her hands had not even been fully wrung dry, and there were still stains on her face and clothes.

"Hehehe, hehehe..."

Being stared at by Roy like that, the little maid gave an embarrassed laugh and lowered her head.

So embarrassing...

When I woke up, Elder Roy had already gone out. That means he saw me slacking off and sleeping, didn't he?

To salvage some of my impression, I cleaned the entire castle, inside and out. Elder Roy shouldn't be angry anymore, right?

Naturally, Roy had no idea that those extra glances of his had sent the little maid's thoughts running wild. Still, Roy had a fairly good impression of Chris.

"Mm."

Roy nodded and headed toward the second floor.

However, when he reached the staircase, Roy suddenly remembered something and returned to sit in the main seat of the hall.

"Chris."

"Elder Roy."

Hearing Roy call for her, Chris hurried forward in small steps.

"I told you before, didn't I? Whenever I have time, you can ask me about any problems you encounter in cultivation."

"Ah?"

Chris looked up in surprise. Elder Roy had indeed said something like that before. Was he saying this now because...?

"Don't be surprised. Although you are Water Element and I am Earth Element, so I cannot demonstrate the specific Profound Mysteries of Laws to you, I should still be able to offer you some basic and effective cultivation methods."

"Yes."

Chris was overjoyed.

Although Chris was considered a genius within her family, the strongest person in her branch was only a Five-star Devil. Even Chris's grandfather rarely had the chance to receive guidance from a Seven-star Demon.

Therefore, without caring about the grime still on her body and face, Chris knelt with her legs together before Roy and asked him about some of the problems she had encountered during cultivation, as well as the difficulties she faced in comprehending Profound Mysteries of Laws.

And Roy did not disappoint her.

"Chris, Profound Mysteries of Laws actually all follow discernible patterns."

"Every law can be divided into Element Profound Mysteries, Speed Profound Mysteries, Domain Profound Mysteries, Soul Profound Mysteries, Attack Profound Mysteries, and Defense Profound Mysteries."

"Look, among the seven Profound Mysteries of Laws, each has its most fundamental Element Profound Mysteries. Earth Element has Earth Element, Water Element has Water Element, and Wind, Fire, Lightning, Light, and Darkness likewise each have their corresponding Element Profound Mystries."

"Then, above the fundamental Element Profound Mysteries, each element also has its own Speed Profound Mysteries."

"For Earth Element, it is Earth Travel Technique. For Water Element, it is Water Travel Technique. Others include Light Travel Technique, Fire Travel Technique, and so on."

"Domain Profound Mysteries are the kind of Profound Mysteries of Laws with the broadest attack range, while also possessing the characteristics of their respective laws. For example, Earth Element's Gravity Space, Water Element's Water Ripple, Wind Element's Wind Space, Darkness Element's Shadow Clone, and so on."

"Soul Profound Mysteries include Earth Element's Life Force, Water Element's Mist Illusion, Wind Element's Sound Wave Music, Darkness Element's Evil Profound Mysteries, Fire Element's Scorching Profundity, and so on. They are all Profound Mysteries of Laws related to the soul."

"Attack Profound Mysteries are much easier to understand. Earth Element's Power Law Profundity, Water Element's Ice Sharpness, Wind Element's Spatial Profundity, and Fire Element's Explosion Profound Mysteries can all be classified as Attack Profound Mysteries."

"As for the final Defense Profound Mysteries, Earth Element has Earth Pulse Profundity, Wind Element has Doppelganger Profundity, Water Element has Round Softness, and Fire Element has Fire Body Technique. They are all the same."

"Though their names may differ, their essence is the same."

"Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm."

As Roy spoke, delight blossomed in Chris's eyes.

All this time, although she had learned from her clan what the six Profound Mysteries of Laws of each law were, she had only known the facts without understanding the reasons behind them.

But when Elder Roy laid it all out for her like this, it felt as though he had torn away the hazy veil surrounding Profound Mysteries of Laws, allowing her to clearly understand the essence of laws.

Most noticeably, Chris felt that her comprehension of Water Element Profound Mysteries had become at least three times faster than before.

Chris was confident that within a thousand years, she could comprehend more than ninety percent of Water Element Profound Mysteries and reach the Peak Saint Domain.

As for the final breakthrough to Godhood, Chris felt that with Elder Roy's guidance, becoming a God within two thousand years was not impossible.

This would not be the kind of God forcibly raised by enhancing one's bloodline through the Bloodline Awakening Pool, but a God who had achieved Godhood through personal cultivation and personal comprehension of Profound Mysteries of Laws.

The sense of accomplishment was completely different.

Many members of the family, aside from becoming Gods through bloodline awakening at adulthood in the Bloodline Awakening Pool, still had not formed a second Divine Clone even after tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
