Cultivation and a Brief Moment of Peace

Rahula had arrived in the Southern Wilderness over a month ago.

Most of the powerhouses currently in the Southern Wilderness had already taken their seats among the vast, surging crowds.

The majority of those remaining were wretched souls, primarily consisting of commoners.

In the eyes of Rahula, these commoners, who did not even possess the strength of a first-rank warrior, could only be considered ants; they could not become fellow Daoists.

To further strengthen his current talent, Behind Me Are Thousands of Fellow Daoists, slaughtering millions of such "ants" might be the only way to achieve any possibility of enhancement.

And if he wanted to push the talent Behind Me Are Thousands of Fellow Daoists to its limit, Rahula suspected that even slaughtering every single commoner on the entire Azeron Continent might not be enough.

"This talent has two key points: first, 'thousands,' which means the quantity cannot be small; second, 'fellow Daoists,' which means the quality cannot be poor."

"To elevate the talent to its limit, neither condition can be lacking."

"The strengthening brought by a single high-rank warrior or mage is worth thousands, or even tens of thousands, of commoners, while a Saint Domain powerhouse is worth over a million..."

"Continuing to hide in the Southern Wilderness will only slow down the growth of this avatar; I need to find new hunting grounds."

Rahula's expression was calm and composed as he weighed the pros and cons.

Relying on his Saint Domain-level spiritual power and the insights into the Laws shared with Lynn and Xiao Yan, the strength of this avatar was not weak, infinitely approaching the limit of the Saint Domain. The only drawback was that the accumulation time for his magic power was too short, making him unable to engage in prolonged combat.

Logically speaking, with such strength, Rahula could directly hunt some ordinary Saint Domain powerhouses instead of coming to the Southern Wilderness to find these villains who didn't even have a few ninth-rank warriors among them.

When making this decision, Lynn had thought it through carefully.

One reason was to distance the connection between the two avatars and his true self. After all... if the two avatars frequently utilized their Saint Domain-limit insights into the Fate Law, and if the Plane Overseer Roger discovered the anomaly and became curious, it would cause no small amount of trouble.

Secondly, it was to allow the avatar to have better cultivation results. Nowadays, most magic in the material plane was simplified from the Laws; using these spells in battle was also a form of cultivation and a means to comprehend the Laws or rules.

"Even without using the Fate Law and Fire Laws, relying on my physical strength and the spiritual power of a Saint Domain mage, the avatar's strength is no weaker than an average Saint Domain powerhouse."

"Furthermore, with the growth of my talent and the slaughter during this period, this avatar's perception of the Death Law is becoming increasingly clear; I could enter the threshold of the Death Law at any moment."

"Once I enter the threshold of the Death Law, even without using shared insights, this avatar's overt strength will be no weaker than a peak Saint Domain powerhouse, allowing me to openly kill some ordinary Saint Domain powerhouses..."

Rahula made his decision. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner swirled, and countless vengeful spirits enveloped the area, with terrifying demonic flames soaring into the sky.

"The day I step out of the Southern Wilderness will be the day the continent falls into chaos!"

Peaceful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

Having finished splitting his soul, Lynn once again completely refined and absorbed the soul essence from a Pseudo Soul Gold Bead, and the sword-shaped soul within his sea of consciousness returned to its previous volume.

"No wonder god-level powerhouses love refining soul gold beads; this pleasure of constantly feeling one's soul grow, the unique beauty of cultivation, is addictive."

Having completely restored his soul power, Lynn walked out of the underground cultivation chamber, intending to take a stroll through Blackstone Town.

Blackstone Town... or perhaps it should be called the Martial Saint City currently under construction.

Previously, because of Roger, Lynn's identity had been exposed. Facing Lynn, this suddenly appeared Saint Domain-limit powerhouse, the Roland Empire had provided great convenience.

They not only granted him the title of Honorary Duke but also upgraded Blackstone Town into a city, naming it after Lynn's title, honoring his return to his homeland.

The small town, which originally had tens of thousands of people, had seen its population exceed one million as many came to visit because of Lynn.

Afraid of trouble, Lynn chose not to walk through crowded areas, sticking to some dilapidated paths in the town where only a few elderly people could be seen.

Passing an intersection, Lynn saw a figure walking toward him.

"Big Brother, you've finished your seclusion?" The figure walked quickly to Lynn's side; it was Kasa.

"Graduated?" Feeling the magic power that had yet to settle in Kasa, Lynn smiled.

Kasa nodded, his face full of excitement.

Kasa's talent was not low; his affinity for the Laws was superior, and his spiritual power intensity was also superior. He broke through to a fifth-rank mage at fifteen and a sixth-rank mage at eighteen.

Coupled with his experience defending Qingli City and the painful ordeal after being captured, everything had tempered Kasa's will, causing his soul to undergo a transformation. Not long after Lynn rescued him, his soul power had broken through to the level of a seventh-rank mage, lacking only the accumulation of magic power.

Now, his breakthrough was a natural progression.

"Hmm?" Lynn's heart suddenly stirred.

"Second brother, has anything happened on the continent recently?" Lynn asked casually, as if it were just a passing remark.

Kasa was a bit puzzled, but after thinking seriously, he replied, "I don't think so. Aside from the Tianluo Empire and the Church of Darkness, other places are the same as usual."

"Understood." Lynn said with a smile, his gait swaying as he continued forward.

Kasa watched Lynn's retreating back, feeling a bit confused. What was the meaning of asking that suddenly? Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it. Kasa left Martial Saint City, preparing to find Taylor to show off his breakthrough to a seventh-rank mage.

Walking into the back mountain of Martial Saint City, Lynn gazed into the distance.

"In the blink of an eye, I, too, am capable of stirring up the winds and clouds of the continent."

In the South Sea, in a calm and tranquil stretch of ocean.

Suddenly, the sea began to churn, and countless orange-red flames surged from the water, incinerating the sky and boiling the sea!

Sizzle, sizzle~~

"Hahahaha..."

A hearty burst of laughter rang out from the seawater, and then, a figure clad in black robes surged up from beneath the surface.

The person who arrived was none other than Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's eyes gleamed with golden light, and a phantom Green Lotus appeared in his palm.

"Go!"

Xiao Yan flicked his palm gently, and the Green Lotus transformed into a streak of light, instantly traversing hundreds of meters to pierce into the body of a magical beast.

"Hiss~~"

The magical beast's body stiffened, and it only had time to let out a miserable shriek before crashing to the ground, its soul aura withered to the extreme.

Seeing this scene, a smile curled at the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth.

"I didn't expect that by observing Rahula's entry into the Death Law, I would be able to draw inferences and comprehend the mysteries of soul attacks within the Fire Laws. As of now... I have mastered four mysteries of the Fire Laws."

"Among them, the Fire Element mystery that I have comprehended the deepest has already reached the limit of the Saint Domain. Just like the main body, I am only one suitable opportunity away from becoming a god."

"However, unlike the main body, I can continue to cultivate other mysteries, and I can even attempt to walk the path of fusing mysteries while slowly deducing the final step of the Fire Element mystery."

After finishing his thoughts, Xiao Yan retreated back into the Submarine Volcano to continue his cultivation.
