Teresa's Breakthrough
Teresa has become Saint Domain!
When Andres saw the message "mission complete" in his mind, he knew that Teresa had broken through.
In fact, Teresa had been in seclusion for the past few months, focusing entirely on cultivating her Battle Qi in preparation for breaking through to the Saint Domain. Andres had also been waiting for this day.
"Fourteen years have passed, and it's finally finished!"
Andres first met Teresa fourteen years ago, and it took him fourteen years to finally complete all three of Teresa's Binding Quest.
With the completion of the Binding Quest, Andres's talent was also upgraded to the Wind Elemental Grand Perfection.
It was as if a gentle breeze had swept through my mind, instantly clearing everything up. Many cultivation problems that I couldn't understand before were now easily solved.
Andres entered a state of enlightenment.
When he came to his senses, he was pleasantly surprised to find—
"The 'fast' and 'slow' have actually merged!"
He had already grasped 80% of the Profound Mystery of "fast" and had also entered the Profound Mystery of "slow". The prerequisites for fusion were in place. At this moment, with the improvement of his talent, he broke through the bottleneck of fusing the two Profound Mystery under a sudden enlightenment.
When the two Profound Mystery "fast" and "slow" are combined, the Profound Mystery "speed" is formed.
In the original story, Linley had just begun to integrate the two profound Profound Mystery when he wreaked havoc in the Gods' Tomb.
Linley fought against a million Abyss Blade Demon, which Saint Realm Limit Expert had to use their full strength to kill.
Of course, Andres had not yet created the corresponding moves, so the Profound Mystery power of "speed" could not be fully utilized. Moreover, he did not have a body as strong as Saint Domain Dragonblood Warrior, so he certainly could not have the combat power that Linley had at that time. But even so, he was still stronger than a typical Saint Realm Limit Expert.
"We'll test the new moves when we get back."
Andres flew eagerly toward his lodgings.
This breakthrough paved the way for his ascension to godhood.
There are two ways to advance from the Saint Domain to Demigod: one is to master the Law Profundity, and the other is to enhance the fusion of two Profound Mystery to the tenth level.
Andres's understanding of the "speed" Profound Mystery is still some distance from mastery; he estimates it will take about one or two years to reach a bottleneck.
It would take about ten years to master the profound Profound Mystery "speed".
In terms of time, it is faster to cultivate the Profound Mystery of "speed". However, the Profound Mystery of "speed" still faces the bottleneck of mastery. No one can say how long it will take to break through the bottleneck. Maybe it will take a day, maybe it will take many years.
Once the Profound Mystery "speed" is mastered to the point of perfection, one will not encounter any bottlenecks.
Whether it's the fusion of Profound Mystery or the comprehension of a single Profound Mystery, there are only two bottlenecks: one is the entry level, and the other is the mastery level. There is no bottleneck between the entry level and the mastery level; it's just a matter of how fast or slow the cultivation is.
After Andres mastered the profound Profound Mystery of "fast" and "slow," it meant that he would become a god in ten years at the latest; if he became a god quickly, it would depend on when he fully mastered the Profound Mystery of "fast."
Andres flew back to his small house and landed. He saw Teresa leading Ivan towards him.
"Haha, Lord Andres, what a joyous occasion! Teresa has broken through!" Ivan shouted excitedly from a distance.
"Really?" Andres' eyes lit up. Although he already knew, he pretended to have just found out.
Teresa and Ivan landed, Ivan bowed to Andres.
"Lord Andres, Teresa's breakthrough to the Saint Domain was entirely thanks to your Sacred Tree Fruit and your teachings. I must express my sincere gratitude to you!" Ivan said earnestly.
Compared to Andres, Ivan valued Teresa more.
Several months ago, when Teresa began her seclusion to break through to the Saint Domain, Ivan arrived in the Holy Alliance City.
After all, Andres was just a guest of the Goblin Merchant Guild, while Teresa was the one Ivan had truly recruited into the Goblin Merchant Guild.
After Teresa achieves Saint Domain, Ivan's status within the Goblin Merchant Guild will rise to a level greater than when Andres became Saint Domain.
Ivan's eyes lit up; he already had a premonition of his rise in the ranking of the top 100 regional leaders.
First Andres, then Teresa, recruited two Saint Realm expert for the Chamber of Commerce in succession. Such merit and achievements are enough for him to take charge in a more prosperous place.
Ivan recalled the scene fourteen years ago when he first met Andres and Teresa, and couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision back then.
"Professor Andres, I challenge you!"
Unlike Ivan, Teresa's eyes lit up with fighting spirit the moment she saw Andres.
He was very proud. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had made rapid progress, surpassing countless geniuses along the way. Even in the Holy Alliance, which gathered many geniuses from the Elves, he successfully topped the Cadet Ranking.
Now that he has achieved the Saint Domain, he can't help but challenge his teacher, Andres.
"Challenge me?" Andres looked at Teresa with great interest.
For the past eight years, he has been cultivating within the Holy Alliance and has never used his full strength.
Even when sparring with others, he only goes so far as to show his strength, which is about the same as it was eight years ago, at the Saint Realm Third Tier.
For Saint Realm expert, eight years is a short time, and it's normal that their strength hasn't improved much, so no one doubted Andres too much.
"It seems you're very confident," Andres said, smiling at Teresa.
Andres could roughly guess Teresa's thoughts.
Teresa comprehended the Profound Mystery of "Dimension," which is more powerful than the Profound Mystery of "speed. "Teresa has been trying to comprehend the profound mystery of "Dimension Profundity" for four years now, and has made considerable progress.
Andres recalled that in the original work, Linley's introduction to the Profound Mysteries of "Earth Pulse" was probably during the time when the O'Brien Empire rescued the necromancer "Cesler".
From that time until Linley's battle with the Saint Realm Third Tier expert "Haydson", only about five years had passed.
Over five years, Linley's understanding of the Profound Mystery "Earth Pulse" progressed from beginner to the third level of the Saint Domain.
The Profound Mystery "Dimension" is no weaker than the Profound Mystery "Earth Pulse," and Teresa's talent is no weaker than Linley's at that time. Andres guessed that Teresa's current strength should be close to that of Saint Realm Third Tier.
Teresa clearly believed she was ready to fight Andres.
"Teacher, I dare not say I will definitely win, but it won't be easy for you to beat me," Teresa said confidently.
"Alright, let's have a fight then." Andres looked around. "Right here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he soared into the air and hovered in mid-air.
Teresa followed closely behind.
"Gentlemen, just spar, please don't get hurt!" Ivan said anxiously. Now, both of them were his reliance for further advancement in the Goblin Merchant Guild, and he didn't want either of them to suffer any injury.
