"Could it be that I also have the talent to cultivate the Destruction Law?" Sean felt uncertain in his heart.

Among the four Laws, the Life Law and Death Law have magic that is easier to understand, and they are even quite similar to the other seven elemental Laws. In the Radiant Church, there are many people who cultivate Life Magic.

In fact, among the eight god-level experts of the Radiant Church, one of them cultivates the Life Law. As for Death Magic, that stuff is too harmful to the natural order and conflicts severely with the fundamental tenets of the Radiant Church's founding, so even if it were possible, the outside world wouldn't know about it.

Therefore, it is generally more common in the Darkness Church and the Death Temple. Furthermore, if Death Magic is not cultivated properly, it can backfire and damage one's own body. Cyrus, who was killed by Sean and Leilia working together earlier, might have been weaker than a normal Saint-level expert precisely because his body had been severely eroded by Death Magic.

When he was very young, the Radiant Church actually tried to have Sean cultivate Life Magic, but it was unsuccessful; he lacked that talent.

As for the Fate Law, he had truly never come into contact with it. Logically speaking, the Radiant Church should have practitioners, but they are likely too few, and none have reached a very high level.

The last one, the Destruction Law, is relatively more common. However, talent for the Destruction Law is different from the others; it isn't something that can be measured. Instead, it is something one gradually comprehends during the process of cultivation. If one has the talent, one will be able to sense it as time passes. Many warriors end up cultivating the Destruction Law in the end.

Regardless, the four Laws lack complete Profound Mysteries, making them difficult to inherit. Unless one's talent in these areas is truly high, it is better to focus on cultivating the seven elemental Laws if one wants to achieve results.

At this moment, in this plane space where the elemental concentration is dozens of times higher than that of the Zhongyuan Continent material plane, and with Sean already at the Saint-level, he was finally able to sense that he seemed to possess talent for the Destruction Law. Yet, when he tried to focus and comprehend it carefully, it felt elusive, as if it were there one moment and gone the next.

"It seems my talent for the Destruction Law is quite mediocre." After struggling for a long time, Sean became somewhat certain. If he truly had some talent, he would definitely be able to sense at least a little bit of it in this miniature plane space.

However, this was still quite good. Having an extra line of talent meant he had hope of cultivating in this direction in the future. If he could independently become a god, that would be an extra life. Even if he remained a low-level god for his entire life, it was still better than nothing.

Of course, the most important thing right now was to cultivate and comprehend the Darkness Law. He only had one Saint-level body, and in terms of his soul, he could only comprehend one Profound Mystery at a time, unlike after becoming a god, where one would have several god clones that could independently cultivate their own Laws or rules.

Even his strongest Earth Law, for which he seemed to have already entered the door of the Earth Element, had to be temporarily put on hold. Once he independently became a god through the Darkness Law, he could then cultivate them together.

After a hearty meal, Sean settled down and began his earnest closed-door cultivation. Unlike his time in the Dark Forest, the safety of this miniature plane space was far, far higher, located deep underground in an uninhabited desert area. Next, he only needed to do his best to fuse his Profound Mysteries and then charge toward the level of a low-level god.

The Darkness Element Profound Mystery and the Shadow Clone Profound Mystery, when combined, not only improved his offensive and defensive capabilities but were also very suitable for concealing his aura. At the same time, they increased his sensitivity to the surrounding environment; this was the unique ability of the Darkness Law.

The four Laws and seven elemental Laws each have their own strengths and weaknesses, forming a unique balance. For instance, in terms of material attacks, the Wind Law and Destruction Law are the strongest, while the Earth Law and Fire Law are slightly inferior.

In terms of speed, the Wind Law and Lightning Law are the fastest, while the Light Law and Fire Law are slightly inferior.

In terms of the soul, the strongest are the three Laws of Life, Death, and Fate, with the Light Law coming in second.

In terms of defense, the strongest is naturally the Water Law, which is unique, while in terms of concealment, the strongest is the Darkness Law, which is also unique.

In this miniature plane space, Sean felt that he was closer to the essence of the Darkness Law than ever before.

Three months later, when Sean opened his eyes again, he could feel that his understanding and fusion of the two Laws had made a little more progress.

This was truly a treasure trove for cultivation—a place useful even to high-level gods. For a Saint-level expert, it was an immense help, and he could even feel some breakthroughs regarding certain bottlenecks.

After resting appropriately for a day, Sean entered cultivation mode once again. He could feel that in such an environment with high concentrations of elemental Laws, the speed at which his God-Eater Rat bloodline matured was even faster. In other words, even if he did nothing, he would be able to independently become a god sooner in a place like this.

This was originally a good thing, but Sean wanted to comprehend Profound Mysteries while fusing two of them; the fact that one was rapidly self-comprehending uncontrollably became a source of annoyance for him.

This wasn't a humble brag, but if he said this out loud, all the experts trapped at the Saint-level across all planes would likely be so envious they would vomit blood.

Time passed slowly just like that; in the Coiling Dragon world, this was the least valuable thing.

In the Zhongyuan Continent, within the Dark Forest, above the plane seal magic array manifested by Sean, several experts stood suspended in the air.

"Such dense darkness elements. What exactly is this magic array?" a young-looking expert asked with a frown.

"My Lord, we have already investigated. This is the place where Mr. Lurenjia was killed," another Saint-level expert said.

"Lurenjia was already a peak Saint-level expert and possessed the two divine artifacts I gave him. There are no signs of a battle here, so it seems this must have been the work of a god-level expert from the Radiant Church," the young expert said, frowning.

"But why would a god-level expert from the Radiant Church return here? Could it be because of this darkness magic array? There are no god-level experts within the Radiant Church who cultivate the Darkness Law."

The person who had just spoken replied, "My Lord, according to information I obtained from the level-9 magical beasts in the vicinity, the perpetrator was not a god-level expert, because there was a brief chase between them. If it were a god-level expert, such a situation would not have occurred.

Moreover, the killer arrived here several years ago and even lived in peace with the magical beasts here for a period of time. Additionally, when Mr. Lurenjia was killed, a Saint-level magical beast from the Dark Forest participated. It was that beast that trapped the Saintess of the Water God Sect."

"This is a bit strange," the young god-level expert said, feeling somewhat confused.

"Pruke, it's been nearly ten thousand years." Suddenly, a voice from behind startled Pruke. If someone could get this close to him without him noticing, killing him would be effortless.

"Lord Jinhuo." Turning around to see who it was, Pruke bowed hurriedly. The person who had arrived was none other than the plane guardian of the Zhongyuan Continent material plane.
