Bamer's Analogous Understanding

Time flowed without cease, and before anyone knew it, another few thousand years had passed.

Bamer emerged from his secluded cultivation several times, but seeing Hermes immersed in research, he could not possibly disturb him.

He could only be forced to cultivate again and again.

But epiphanies, or moments of inspiration, were always things that could be sought but not demanded.

Bamer wanted to integrate the Soul Profound Mystery of the Fire Element Law into 'Fire Element' and 'Fire Body Technique'.

Fire Element was manageable; it was the fundamental composition of the Fire Element Law, and the point of convergence with the profound mystery was also the easiest to find.

Stimulated by the soul control incident at Zhelan Fort, Bamer had learned from his pain. In the first millennium of seclusion, he successfully found the convergence point between Fire Element and the Soul Profound Mystery.

After several thousand years of deduction, Fire Element and the Soul Profound Mystery had already been mostly fused.

Only one step remained for Bamer to complete the full fusion of these two profound mysteries.

At that time, his combat power might not see a qualitative improvement, but the fusion of two profound mysteries including the Soul Profound Mystery would surely elevate Bamer's soul defense to the peak of a Five-star Demon.

If Basim were still alive and tried to control his soul again, it would be nearly impossible.

"Still just fusing two profound mysteries; my strength remains at Five-star. For a qualitative improvement, I must integrate the Soul Profound Mystery into both Fire Element and Fire Body Technique!"

Bamer sank into silent contemplation.

Even the barrier of fully fusing Fire Element and the Soul Profound Mystery alone was already extremely difficult to break through.

Now, he also had to find the convergence point between the Soul Profound Mystery and the Fire Body Technique Profound Mystery.

And later, after these two profound mysteries were fully fused, there would ultimately be the complete fusion of all three profound mysteries—Fire Element, Fire Body Technique, and Soul.

These were all barriers.

There were many difficulties awaiting him; the only thing he didn't need to worry about was the initial convergence of these three profound mysteries.

Because as long as Fire Element, Fire Body Technique, and Soul were each fused in pairs to completion, the overall fusion of the three profound mysteries would face no barriers.

Unless the fusion of the three profound mysteries reached its final stage.

That was an enormous barrier, one that countless beings in the Infernal Realm were trapped by and would remain trapped by forever.

That was talent!

Those with talent could easily break through the shackles of the barrier; those without talent would be stuck there forever.

The full fusion of two profound mysteries, the full fusion of three profound mysteries... until all profound mysteries of the same Law were nearly fused into one!

It wasn't just Divine-level beings; even countless Sovereign Gods were trapped between the fusion of five profound mysteries and six profound mysteries.

Forever unable to advance an inch!

And they had the boost of endless faith power.

If even Sovereign Gods were like this, what hope was there for Divine-level beings?

"No clue!"

Pausing his comprehension, Bamer once again came to the courtyard where Hermes was cultivating.

Seeing that Hermes was still immersed in his research on profound mystery fusion, He did not withdraw this time.

Instead, he observed from a distance.

Hoping to glean something from Hermes' demonstration of the Law.

Fire Body Technique, as a low-level profound mystery among the six profound mysteries of the Fire Element Law, Involved the manipulation of fire elements and the strengthening of the body.

It was related to power and the physical strength of the cultivator's divine body, and it was also the profound mystery Bamer had comprehended first after Fire Element.

Bamer knew that only by perfectly integrating the Soul Profound Mystery into Fire Body Technique could he fundamentally solve the problem of his weak soul defense.

If he could fuse three profound mysteries including the Soul Profound Mystery, perhaps the soul would even become his strong suit.

"That is..."

Bamer saw Hermes moving and shifting in the courtyard, with not a trace of divine power on his body, yet Hermes' figure kept changing.

Blurring into afterimages.

As he practiced and practiced, Hermes suddenly had an epiphany and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Suspended in midair, about a dozen meters above the ground, neither rising nor falling.

Hovering there.

This was a private residence; if it were in Yilan City, even this altitude of flight would not be permitted.

"Elemental energy, an overwhelmingly powerful aura... Master is still..."

Bamer was just about to praise Hermes when his expression suddenly changed.

"Isn't this exactly the common ground between the Soul Profound Mystery and Fire Body Technique that I've been struggling to find?"

Fire Element and Fire Body Technique had long been fused to perfection, and the fusion between Fire Element and Soul Profound Mystery was also mostly complete.

Only the alignment between Soul Profound Mystery and Fire Body Technique Mystery remained—once he found the point of convergence, he could immediately begin fusing all three Mysteries.

There might be difficulties along the way, but as long as he hadn't reached perfection, there was no hurdle he couldn't overcome.

"Boom~!"

Bamer merely observed Hermes' cultivation and gained insight; Hermes himself, cultivating, would not gain little.

He was only pondering the possibility of fusing Earth Walking Technique with the Mysteries of Gravity Space.

Yet it triggered understanding by analogy!

He not only discovered the convergence point between Earth Element and Gravity Space.

At the same time, he pushed the fusion of the two Mysteries forward by a large margin.

Hermes' inspiration exploded—it wasn't just Earth Element and Mysteries of Gravity Space beginning to fuse.

Earth Element, Power, and Mysteries of Gravity Space also began to merge.

This time, he no longer suppressed his comprehension of Earth Element, preparing to fuse these three law Mysteries to the utmost limit he could achieve.

While deducing the laws, the soul's perception of time's passage dulled, as if unaware of it.

Only by breaking free from the cultivation state could his perception of time return.

A long while passed.

Hermes opened his eyes.

"Several thousand years have passed?"

As his consciousness withdrew from cultivation, his perception of time returned. A slight deduction by his God-level soul naturally let him calculate how long he had been in seclusion.

Though not precise, it was roughly accurate.

"Indeed, battle and slaughter are the fastest ways to break through."

If not for the Golden Space within him, Hermes' ideal cultivation method would also be battle and slaughter.

But several thousand years—definitely less than ten thousand.

He had not only fused Earth Element and Mysteries of Gravity Space to perfection.

He had also fused Earth Element, Power, and Mysteries of Gravity Space to their limit.

Stuck at the final step.

No matter how hard Hermes tried, the fusion progress remained stagnant.

No progress at all.

With the Talent Panel, he wasn't worried about being stuck forever, but Hermes also didn't know when he would take that step.

"Time to leave seclusion~!"

"Boom~!"

Just as Hermes prepared to resume his journey toward the Purple Crystal Mountain Range, Bamer, within his line of sight, suddenly erupted in cyan-red flames.

"What's going on?"

He too was a cultivator, so he naturally understood that Bamer's current state was special.

He dared not push the door open, only watching through the courtyard wall. "This Bamer's gains are not small."

An expert could see through it at a glance—though they walked different law paths.

The principles were universal.

"As long as he gets past this, his gains this time might be even greater than mine. Could it be that this Bamer really is the Bamer I remember?"

Thus, Hermes could only watch helplessly as Bamer cultivated.

"This is a critical moment for Mystery fusion," he couldn't help thinking.

"Shua~!"

A earthy-yellow bead appeared—it was obtained from Zhelan Fort, the spoils from killing that damned gatekeeper.
