Success

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

The caravan under the protection of Roslet had already set off toward the Hanmu Kingdom two days ago.

They did not wait for Zhao Nan to arrive.

It was not that Roslet hadn't thought about looking for Zhao Nan, but remembering the words Zhao Nan left him when he departed, he didn't take it too much to heart.

Once the guards had rested, they simply set off on their journey.

Inside the mountain cave in the dense forest, Zhao Nan remained sitting cross-legged, his mind constantly contemplating the fusion of the Wind Element and the Wind Space mysteries.

If Zhao Nan had previously thought that fusing the profound mysteries of the laws was simple—believing that since he had read the original work, he would surely grasp all the mysteries, fuse them, and eventually reach Grand Perfection—he had to admit now that he had been too naive.

Take the Wind Element mystery, a low-level mystery within the Wind Laws; Zhao Nan had only just reached the entry level, and it would take a long time to comprehend it thoroughly.

And the Wind Space was an even higher, mid-level mystery.

Not to mention the need to fuse these two mysteries together.

Fortunately, by some stroke of luck, the wind blades he had summoned contained the fruits of the fusion of these two laws. Although it could not be called a complete fusion, it still pointed Zhao Nan in the right direction.

The fourth day!

Zhao Nan summoned a wind blade once again.

Zhao Nan could no longer remember how many wind blades he had summoned over these past few days, but after this one appeared, he clearly felt a difference compared to the previous ones.

"This wind blade seems to be more stable; it won't dissipate from the slightest impact."

After using the wind blade to attack once, Zhao Nan suddenly discovered that this particular blade had some unique qualities.

Zhao Nan channeled his soul power, summoning the wind blade in front of him.

This time, Zhao Nan did not use his soul power to observe it; instead, he used his naked eyes once more.

As Zhao Nan's gaze focused on the wind blade, he suddenly realized why the previous blades could not exist for long, and at the same time, he understood how to preserve this one.

Just as Zhao Nan grasped the essence of the wind blade, his comprehension of the Wind Element mystery and the Wind Space mystery also took a significant leap forward.

"So, the Wind Element is about materializing objects to form an attack.

That should count as a material attack.

And the Wind Space is actually not so-called space power, but a binding force.

The Wind Element can condense whatever I want, but for this object to exist for a long time—or rather, not shatter at the slightest touch—it requires the Wind Space to bind it, allowing for a stable attack."

Zhao Nan muttered to himself while holding the wind blade in his hand.

Following this, Zhao Nan wondered, since the Wind Element is a direct material attack, what is its limit?

For example, in the original story, Linley's Profound Truths of the Earth, it went from one to many, and then from many back to one.

What about this Wind Element?

Could it be condensing into a Wind Element giant, and then turning into a single grain of wind element?

That clearly wasn't realistic!

The same went for the Wind Space; what exactly was its limit?

Furthermore, if the Wind Element is a material attack, which mystery within the Wind Laws is a soul attack?

Having read the original work, Zhao Nan knew that every law had both material and soul attacks; it was just a matter of which aspect they leaned toward.

Zhao Nan pondered in his heart, his palm inadvertently playing with the nearby wind blade.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Zhao Nan let out a cry of surprise.

It wasn't for any other reason than the fact that while he was deep in thought, the Wind Element and Wind Space mysteries had actually fused a little.

Zhao Nan looked down and couldn't help but laugh at the wind blade he was toying with in his hand.

He hadn't expected that, without paying attention, he would accidentally facilitate the fusion of the two mysteries.

Although it was only a sliver of fusion, the comprehension and fusion of laws only had two major hurdles: the very beginning and the very end. During the time in between, through constant grinding, Zhao Nan could eventually work his way up.

If this were the fusion of other law mysteries, once he became a god, he would immediately be a Highgod.

However, Zhao Nan was not in a hurry. He had just stepped into the Saint-level, and at eighteen years old, he was still a Saint; the matter of becoming a god was still far off. In any case, having reached this realm, he was already an immortal existence.

Thinking this, Zhao Nan stood up.

His goal for this cultivation session had been achieved, and everything else was just a matter of time. It was time to catch up with Roslet and head to the Hanmu Kingdom.

Zhao Nan knew very well that if he wanted to achieve the path of transcendence, he absolutely could not follow Linley's path.

Because Linley's path to transcendence was far too dangerous.

To say nothing else, the soul mutation alone was something Zhao Nan could not accept.

After all, in the original work, Linley barely survived his four-element soul mutation. As he took on more and more disciples in the future, it was possible he would gain talent in all elements.

If he were to undergo an eleven-element soul mutation, Zhao Nan did not think he would be able to survive it.
