Communicating the Profound Mysteries

"Laws and Profundities?" Hearing Luo Ya's question, Beiya, who was sitting next to Milia, explained it in the simplest way possible.

She flicked her delicate, fair hands, and the Dark Element gathered to form a black snake that coiled around her arm. It even hissed, looking as if it were truly alive.

"Profundity of Dark Element." Luo Ya nodded slightly at the sight. Although the elemental snake she conjured was not large, the posture it displayed was incredibly lifelike.

In terms of attainment in the Profundity of Dark Element alone, this elf lady might even be above him.

"There is also this." Observing Luo Ya's nod, Beiya suddenly closed her eyes, then snapped them open.

"Hiss--"

In that brief instant, strange black tentacles sprouted from the surface of her body. In a flash, the elf lady looked like an octopus, with eight cold, long tentacles surrounding her, emitting black mist. It was extremely eerie.

Luo Ya was startled, and Milia was stunned as well.

Clearly, Milia had not known beforehand that Beiya was capable of this move.

"This is the 'Mysteries of Evil'!" Luo Ya's pupils constricted slightly. He stared intently at the eight cold tentacles appearing in the parlor, even releasing his spiritual energy to perceive them carefully.

"Mysteries of Evil? This profundity is indeed a bit 'evil'." Milia instinctively flashed away from her newly acquainted elf sister.

She was clearly a seemingly approachable elf lady, so why was the law profundity she comprehended so bizarre?

"Is this profundity called the 'Mysteries of Evil'? I comprehended it from the 'Ice Tentacles' in dark magic. Whether used for offense or defense, it feels much stronger than the Profundity of Dark Element." Perhaps having heard the key information, the elf lady spoke an unusually long sentence all at once.

"That goes without saying. The Profundity of Dark Element is the most basic and simplest of the Laws of Darkness; it is merely a low-level profundity. Your Mysteries of Evil is at least a mid-level profundity, so its power is naturally much greater." As Luo Ya explained, he continued to observe the eight cold tentacles the elf lady had manifested.

Noticing Luo Ya's actions, the elf lady did not rush to dissipate the tentacles. After all, maintaining their existence did not require much effort.

It was just that the scene looked rather unsettling when these tentacles were released. Therefore, unless she was fighting a strong enemy, Beiya rarely showed this move to others.

"A mid-level profundity?" Beiya nodded slightly. It was clear that whether from Milia or the elf race, she knew that profundities could be divided into low, mid, and high levels. The higher the profundity, the greater its power would naturally be.

The Profundity of Devour, which Luo Ya specialized in, was a high-level profundity of the Laws of Darkness, and the power it displayed was naturally incomparable to ordinary profundities.

"I have also comprehended two profundities of the Laws of Darkness. The first is the same Profundity of Dark Element as Miss Beiya, and the second is this Profundity of Devour."

After observing for a moment, Luo Ya realized that it was unrealistic to comprehend a new profundity just by looking, so he signaled the elf lady to retract the Ice Tentacles, turning to demonstrate it himself.

"Profundity of Devour, this move must be the 'Gate of Hell', right?" Milia had once had the fortune of sparring with Luo Ya, and she naturally marveled at the power of this move.

However, when they sparred last time, Luo Ya's comprehension of the Profundity of Devour was not as deep as it was now.

"Gate of Hell is just an exaggerated term." Luo Ya shook his head, then extended his right hand. A vortex appeared above his palm, devouring everything around it, even the sunlight shining in from outside the window. As time passed, the dark area grew larger and larger.

"Is this the 'Profundity of Devour'?" The elf lady's grey-purple eyes shone brightly as she studied the scene intently.

"So strong!" Although Luo Ya was only doing a simple demonstration and the effect shown was just the tip of the iceberg, Beiya could still feel the powerful and overbearing aura within it.

This Profundity of Devour was definitely stronger than the Mysteries of Evil she had comprehended!

"Besides this profundity, I once fought that Phantom Sword Saint Harvey and witnessed his ultimate move. That move can be called the 'Shadow Clone Technique' profundity; it is also a very strange, powerful, and comprehensive profundity."

However, Luo Ya could not actively demonstrate this move for the time being and could only describe it verbally.

In the original work of Panlong, the two laws introduced most clearly were the Laws of Wind and the Laws of Earth. Regarding the Laws of Darkness, only four profundities were mentioned in passing.

These four were the Profundity of Dark Element, the Shadow Clone Technique, the Profundity of Devour, and the Mysteries of Evil. Luo Ya was fortunate enough to have come into contact with all of them during his Saint Realm stage.

"Shadow Clone Technique? His move is indeed interesting. Although I cultivate the Laws of Wind, I feel I might be able to achieve this as well." After hearing Luo Ya's 'analysis' of the principles behind this move, Milia, who had not paid much attention before, suddenly had her eyes light up, looking thoughtful.

"First split off a 'shadow', then replace yourself with these 'shadows' to split off another self..." The more Milia thought, the faster her mind wandered, and endless inspiration surged in an instant.

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment!" The excited Milia flashed out of the parlor, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.

"Milia's speed seems to have become even faster." Luo Ya had fought Harvey before; although Harvey's speed was fast, it was far inferior to the Milia he had met last time.

And meeting her this time, it was clear that not only had he made great progress, but Milia's progress was equally significant.

"Milia has also comprehended two law profundities: the 'Wind Element' and the 'Wind Movement Technique'. Looking at it now, I fear her Wind Movement Technique is nearing perfection." Although leaving the host's parlor so abruptly seemed a bit rude, neither Luo Ya nor Beiya took it to heart.

Having reached their level of strength and status, worldly formalities were insignificant.

By comparison, gaining new insights into law profundities was far more important. If it were them, they might be just as excited as Milia.

"Milia must have gone to the back mountain. Let's go over together and see what new things she has comprehended this time." Although Luo Ya did not cultivate the Laws of Wind himself, he knew what the nine profundities of the Laws of Wind were and had a general understanding of the characteristics of each.

Connecting it to her being inspired by the basic principles of the 'Shadow Clone Technique', he vaguely guessed which aspect of the Laws of Wind Milia had comprehended this time.

However, whether it was exactly what he thought or not, he would have to see it with his own eyes to be sure.

"Alright." The elf lady Beiya followed Luo Ya, flying toward the back mountain.
