Mysteries of Light Element

Liewen stood before the cave entrance without rushing in.

After waiting for a while, he finally jumped inside.

Along one side of the cave's interior was a massive passageway, more than ten meters wide and ten meters high.

Linley had already entered the passage. Liewen had waited outside precisely to let Linley enter first.

At the end of the passage were a peak ninth-rank magical beast, a Spined Iron-Armored Dragon, and a Purple-Striped Black Bear that had just entered the Saint Realm.

The two magical beasts bore a grudge against each other. The Spined Iron-Armored Dragon used a scheme to kill the Purple-Striped Black Bear, but it was also gravely wounded and on the verge of death.

In its final moments, the Spined Iron-Armored Dragon tried to kill Linley and Bebe, only for Linley and Bebe to seize an opportunity and kill it instead.

The Spined Iron-Armored Dragon was also of the dragon race. Linley swallowed its dragon blood and, together with Blue Heart Grass, transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior.

Linley's agonized cries echoed through the passage.

The first transformation into a Dragonblood Warrior was accompanied by intense pain.

After becoming a Dragonblood Warrior, Linley possessed the foundation to stand at the peak of the Yulan Continent.

Even without comprehending the mysteries of the laws, a Dragonblood Warrior could reach the peak of the Saint Realm through physical strength and battle-qi alone.

Moreover, Dragonblood Warriors could undergo Dragon Transformation. After transforming, their battle-qi and physical strength would increase drastically. A ninth-rank Dragonblood Warrior could directly possess the power of the Saint Realm after transforming.

Liewen stood on the other side of the passage, listening to Linley's pained cries.

As Liewen's strength increased, the range in which he could witness events also expanded. Now, he no longer needed to see something with his own eyes to complete a witnessing.

"Witnessed Linley becoming a Dragonblood Warrior. Potential improvement attempts +1."

After completing the witnessing, Liewen left in satisfaction.

Liewen Andrew.

Strength: Ninth-Rank Warrior.

Potential: Midgod.

Physical Strength: Sixth-Rank Warrior.

Physical Potential: Lowgod Artifact.

Liewen's potential improved once more, reaching the Midgod level.

Among the six mysteries of the Laws of Light, comprehending two or fusing two would allow one to advance from a Lowgod to a Midgod.

Liewen now possessed the aptitude to become a Midgod.

Liewen walked out of the cave and left Misty Valley.

Only after seeing Liewen depart did the Fire Dragon flock in the sky descend in relief.

Liewen headed toward the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

This witnessing was over, and the next one would not occur for several months. There was no longer any need for Liewen to remain.

Liewen looked back in the direction of Misty Valley.

"By now, Linley should be close to pulling out the Violet Blood Soft Sword, right?" he muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he continued on his way home.

During this trip to Misty Valley, Linley not only successfully transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior but also discovered a magic formation.

This magic formation was a spatial node between the Yulan Continent plane and the Gebados Plane Prison.

The Gebados Plane Prison held countless powerful experts, including innumerable god-level experts.

The magic formation used the Violet Blood Soft Sword as its core. Linley did not know how important the formation was and removed the Violet Blood Soft Sword, causing the formation to collapse.

The divine beast Dylin thus escaped from the Gebados Plane Prison and unleashed a beast tide, leading to the Day of Destruction.

But that was all in the future.

Liewen returned to the Andrew Family estate and continued cultivating in seclusion.

After his potential improved, he felt that his comprehension of the Laws of Light had become slightly clearer.

Liewen sat cross-legged in the courtyard, sensing the ever-present Light Element.

These Light Elements normally could not be seen with the naked eye, yet they truly existed.

Gradually, a gentle white glow began to emanate from Liewen's body. He controlled the white light, attempting to shape it into various forms, but he quickly failed.

Liewen opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. The white glow dissipated as well.

"I've finally made a start on the Mysteries of Light Element." Liewen smiled bitterly.

After his potential improved, his comprehension had also increased considerably. He had successfully stepped through the door to one of the six mysteries of the Laws of Light, the Mysteries of Light Element.

If he comprehended the Mysteries of Light Element more deeply, he would be able to freely control Light Element and turn it into various shapes for attack or defense. Liewen had just tried it and failed decisively.

That was because he had only just begun. He was still far from fully comprehending the Mysteries of Light Element.

The six mysteries of the Laws of Light were divided into high, middle, and low grades. Higher-grade mysteries were more powerful than lower-grade ones.

The Mysteries of Light Element belonged to the low-grade mysteries.

Naturally, Liewen wanted to comprehend high-grade mysteries, but his current potential was still insufficient.

While Liewen cultivated peacefully at the estate, Linley had already risen to prominence in Fenlai City.

After returning from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley applied to graduate from the Ernst Institute.

A seventeen-year-old seventh-rank magus, he broke the Ernst Institute's record for the youngest seventh-rank magus. In the history of the entire Yulan Continent, he was also the second youngest.

Linley immediately became the brightest rising star of the Holy Union.

During this time, Linley also experienced his father's death and learned that his mother had been abducted years ago.

Hogg discovered that the one who had abducted his wife was Duke Paterson, the younger brother of King Clayde. Hogg disguised himself and infiltrated Duke Paterson's estate to investigate, but the guards discovered him. He fled back to Wushan Town badly injured and, after telling Hillman what he had learned, passed away.

Linley learned the truth from Hillman and began his path of revenge.

On the night Linley learned the truth, Liewen lay in wait in the rear courtyard of the Baruch Clan estate and completed this witnessing.

This witnessing raised his physical potential to the level of a Median Divine Artifact.

Linley held a funeral for Hogg. On the day of the funeral, Liewen also went to pay his respects.

Linley's status was no longer what it had once been. Important figures such as the Holy See's cardinal and the king of the Fenlai Kingdom all came to pay their respects.

Liewen was utterly inconspicuous among them.

At the Andrew Family estate, Liewen finished his medicinal bath, washed himself clean, and changed into a set of dry clothes.

After his physical potential improved, Liewen once again began physical training and medicinal baths.

Several months passed, and his pure physical strength reached the level of a seventh-rank warrior.

However, as his physical strength increased, the effects of the medicinal baths became negligible.

The existing medicinal bath formula was intended for bodies below the sixth-rank warrior level. It had little effect on Liewen's seventh-rank warrior body.

Still, Liewen could not find a better medicinal bath formula. The physical limit of ordinary people was that of a sixth-rank warrior, so no one had researched formulas suitable for seventh-rank warrior bodies.

"My lord Viscount, Mr. Walter has arrived," the butler came to inform Liewen.

"Understood. Take him to the study."

Liewen met Walter of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the study.

"My lord Viscount, all of the Andrew Family's assets have been sold, and the funds have all been used to purchase estates in Hess City. Here are the details for your review."

Walter handed Liewen a scroll of parchment detailing the transactions.

The Andrew Family's assets had sold for a total of thirty million gold coins. All of that money had been used to purchase estates in Hess City, more than twenty in total.

These estates varied in size and location. The expensive ones were worth several million gold coins, while even the cheaper ones cost two hundred thousand gold coins.

The location of every estate was recorded on the parchment.

Liewen nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Walter."

"You are too polite, my lord Viscount." Walter smiled in response. The Dawson Chamber of Commerce had also earned a considerable commission from this transaction. It was a win-win arrangement.

"My lord Viscount, this Andrew Family estate has also been sold. The buyer asked me to inquire when they may take possession," Walter said.

The buyer of this estate was Marquis Nobo. After learning that he was the buyer, Liewen had offered him a twenty percent discount.

"One month from now," Liewen said.

It was already Yulan Calendar year 9999. Only a few months remained until the Day of Destruction.

The Day of Destruction was the next witnessing task. Liewen had already bought a small house in a village outside Fenlai City. He planned to move outside the city, then leave the Fenlai Kingdom after witnessing the Day of Destruction.
