Master of Yelan Mountain

In the magical universe, there are a number of Material Planes almost as vast as the sands of the Ganges.

The Valen Plane is merely one inconspicuous world among these countless planes.

Yelan Mountain was originally an obscure peak on the Western Continent, but due to the special status of its master, the Night Orchid Sword Saint—Luo Ya, it has long since become famous throughout the sixteen nations of the Dark Alliance, and in the Black Moon Kingdom, it is considered a supreme holy land in the hearts of countless citizens!

At the summit of Yelan Mountain stands a mysterious, pitch-black castle. That legendary genius sword saint—the Night Orchid Sword Saint—resides here.

Inside the castle study, a butler who appeared to be an elderly man with green hair walked up to the young man who was resting with his eyes closed in the master seat, his attitude exceptionally respectful, "Lord Luo Ya."

The young man had simple, short black hair. Only after hearing the voice did he slowly open his eyes and stretch his neck, his voice tinged with a hint of laziness, "What is it?"

Ever since arriving in the Coiling Dragon World, Luo Ya had walked from being a mortal to where he was today, having long since adapted to all the rules of this world, though he naturally retained some of his old habits.

Having read the original work countless times, he was very clear about the trajectory of this world. However, it was a pity that the plane he transmigrated into was not the Yulan Plane, but a Material Plane that never appeared in the original work—the Valen Plane.

The Valen Plane possesses two continents, East and West, and the area of either continent is far larger than the Yulan Continent from the original work.

Correspondingly, the number of Saint Realm and god-level powerhouses in the entire Material Plane is also much higher.

The peak powerhouses of the Valen Plane, besides the Plane Overseer Laura, include two Midgods who respectively rule over the East and West continents. Beneath them, there are about a dozen Lowgod powerhouses. As for Saint Realm powerhouses, their numbers are naturally even greater.

Therefore, although Luo Ya has already stepped into the Saint Realm and is a veteran Saint Realm powerhouse who has begun to comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws, he still does not allow himself to be complacent. Most of the time, he remains on Yelan Mountain in bitter cultivation, intending to enter the ranks of god-level powerhouses as soon as possible.

After the old butler Foster bowed slightly, he continued in a respectful tone, "My Lord, His Majesty Brian has arrived."

"Brian?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. Brian is the current king of this Black Moon Kingdom. Of course, he was only able to become king because he had Luo Ya backing him from the shadows.

"If he isn't busy being a good king, what is he doing coming here?" Luo Ya frowned, sensing that this fellow probably had some trouble he needed help with again.

As for worldly power, Luo Ya was quite interested at the beginning, but grew weary of it over time. Especially thirty years ago, after that Plane Overseer, Miss Laura, paid him a visit, he clearly understood that the magical world he had arrived in was exactly the Coiling Dragon World from his memories.

In the Coiling Dragon World, the Saint Realm is already capable of near-immortality, while simultaneously wielding power comparable to that of gods.

They can melt massive icebergs, make the endless oceans roar in fury, cause mountains that pierce the clouds to collapse, destroy cities with millions of inhabitants, and make endless meteorites rain down from the sky!

Compared to mortals, Saint Realm powerhouses are already invincible existences, supreme existences!

But Luo Ya, being familiar with the original work, naturally understood that for true powerhouses, the Saint Realm is merely a starting point.

Above the Saint Realm, there are even stronger god-level beings, and the Chief Sovereigns who truly stand high above, looking down upon all living things!

Likewise, compared to the magnificent and colorful Divine Planes, the Valen Plane is nothing more than a small fishpond.

Since he knew this world was the Coiling Dragon World from his memories, Luo Ya was naturally unwilling to spend his whole life in such a tiny Material Plane.

Especially since he possessed a "cheat" that followed him through his transmigration, he naturally harbored even greater ambitions in his heart!

He hoped that he could continuously climb to the peak on the path of cultivation, reach the pinnacle of this world, and leave behind a legendary story of his own in the vast Divine Planes and Supreme Planes!

Unfortunately, he is currently only a Saint Realm. Going to a Divine Plane or Supreme Plane as a Saint Realm is purely seeking death. Only after reaching at least the god-level, or even Midgod, would Luo Ya have the confidence to venture into those boundless, powerhouse-filled Supreme Planes.

Inside the study, although Luo Ya was frowning, he still spoke seriously, "Bring him in to see me."

In this life, his parents were already gone when he first transmigrated, leaving behind a considerable inheritance. The problem was that as a young child, he had no way to manage this wealth.

Fortunately, his parents' friend—Baron Harriman's family—adopted him and later allowed him to inherit all the wealth his parents had left behind.

Especially later, when Luo Ya showed astonishing potential during a magic talent test at the age of six, it drew high regard and heavy investment from Baron Harriman.

Luo Ya did not disappoint, quickly completing his studies and successfully graduating from the Merlin Magic Academy.

Not long after graduation, Luo Ya left for other countries to train and gain experience. By the time he and Baron Harriman met again, Luo Ya had already become an astonishingly powerful Saint Realm powerhouse, and he hadn't broken through as a Saint Magus, but as a Saint Realm warrior.

To repay the kindness of Baron Harriman's family, Luo Ya fulfilled their wishes, allowing them to become great nobles within the Black Moon Kingdom. Baron Harriman himself even became the kingdom's prime minister, and his third daughter became the Queen of the Black Moon Kingdom.

Brian, meanwhile, is the third son-in-law of Harriman and the new king of the Black Moon Kingdom. Brian himself was only the third prince; his rise to power was naturally due to the Harriman family, or rather, Luo Ya backing him from behind.

To thank Luo Ya for his support, Brian even specially established the honorary title of "Protector Sword Saint" for him, giving him status equal to the king within the Black Moon Kingdom. However, this so-called "Protector Sword Saint" was just a title that sounded imposing but was actually quite troublesome, so it was naturally declined by Luo Ya.

However, in the end, Luo Ya did promise him that if he encountered trouble in the future, he could step in one more time for the Black Moon Kingdom and the Harriman family.

"Debts of favor are the hardest to repay. I hope that after this intervention, Brian won't come to bother me again." Although the debt he owed was to the Harriman family, when Harriman married his third daughter to Brian, it was already considered a binding tie to the other party.

Naturally, the troubles Brian and the Black Moon Kingdom encountered became the troubles of the Harriman family.

Although he felt that dealing with these worldly matters was troublesome, Luo Ya still decided to step in once more, within the limits of his ability.

After all, powerhouses always emphasize repaying favors.

Not to mention him, even a Highgod Paragon in the Divine Plane would treat the favors they once owed with seriousness.

"Perhaps after repaying this favor and clearing my mind, my path of cultivation will become even smoother." The reason he settled on this desolate Yelan Mountain was precisely to make his own cultivation more convenient.

"With this mysterious Black Hole space, I believe I will sooner or later be able to cultivate the 'Devour' profound mystery within the Laws of Darkness to the state of perfection." Luo Ya cast aside his chaotic thoughts and immersed his mind into his soul ocean, where a dark blue black hole vortex swirled above.

It was precisely because of this mysterious black hole that followed him from the "Blue Star" world that Luo Ya was able to advance by leaps and bounds in his magic and battle qi cultivation, becoming a ninth-rank powerhouse at a young age. Later, he even had a moment of enlightenment regarding the momentum of heaven and earth, directly advancing to a Saint Realm powerhouse!

But after the Saint Realm, it is no longer a matter of simply relying on cultivating magic power and battle qi; one needs to comprehend the profound and mysterious elemental laws, or the even more bizarre and elusive Four Supreme Rules.

After many attempts over these years, Luo Ya confirmed that he only possessed cultivation talent for the Darkness and Water elements.

And because of the mysterious black hole space in his soul, the first profound mystery Luo Ya comprehended was not a low-level mystery like Dark Element, but rather the higher-level "Devour" profound mystery within the Laws of Darkness.

Because his own affinity for the Dark Element was super-grade, and he could comprehend profound mysteries by sensing the rhythm of the "Black Hole space," his cultivation naturally progressed with half the effort.

Although he had only been comprehending the "Devour" profound mystery for less than thirty years, he had already grasped about seventy or eighty percent of it, and he was not far from the bottleneck period.
