Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse: 256-Fold Waves (Seeking Follows)

Ernst Magic Institute, back mountain!

"Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse, 256-Fold Waves!"

Linley held a greatsword, bringing it down upon a house-sized boulder in front of him.

"Pfft~"

The greatsword touched the boulder gently, emitting a muffled sound.

The next moment, Linley withdrew his sword and stood still, tapping the boulder in front of him with his finger.

"Crackle~~"

The boulder, which had appeared intact on the surface, instantly disintegrated into a pile of rubble, with each fragment no larger than a thumb.

"Finally finished." Seeing this, a smile appeared on Linley's face. "It took nearly a year to finally reach 256-fold, but why do I feel like I've reached the end of the road for the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse?"

Thinking of this, Linley couldn't help but frown.

He was certain that the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse was definitely more than this; it wasn't just because Linley himself had yet to become a Low-God.

At the same time, the system's attribute panel only showed that he had just comprehended half of the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse.

Laws Comprehension: Wind Element (Slow 20.3%, Fast 20.3%, Profound Mystery of Wind Element 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Wind Walking 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Clone 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Wind Space 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Sound Wave 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Sound Music 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Dimension 0.01%), Earth Element (Profound Mystery of Earth Element 27%, Profound Mystery of Earth Walking 0.01%, Power 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Gravity Space 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Life Force 0.01%, Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse 50%)

Fused Laws: Profound Mystery of Speed (2.3%), Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse & Profound Mystery of Earth Element (4%)

Over the past year, Linley had focused his law comprehension on the Mysteries of Fast and Slow, the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse, and the Profound Mystery of Earth Element.

Fusion only needs to reach ten percent to become a Low-God.

However, Linley's own comprehension of the profound mysteries affected the progress of fusing them.

Still, Linley was quite satisfied with the current progress.

"The addition of the Profound Mystery of Earth Element has nearly doubled the soul-attacking power of the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse."

Linley sat cross-legged, bits of insight regarding the Profound Mystery of Earth Element and the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse surfacing in his mind.

"With my current strength, apart from the Saint-level limits that Lin Ke mentioned, most Saint-level experts would not be my match. It's just that the span of the peak Saint-level is too vast; someone who has comprehended one percent of a profound mystery is a peak Saint-level, and someone who has comprehended ninety-eight percent is also a peak Saint-level."

Linley shook his head and opened his eyes to look to the side.

On a boulder not far away, Beibei was lazily lying in the sun.

Cultivation was simply too painful for Beibei.

Linley had exchanged for Primary Pet Beast Pills for Beibei, allowing him to gain entry into all six profound mysteries of the Laws of Darkness.

But that was all.

Primary Pet Beast Pills allow one to enter the comprehension of elementary profound mysteries, while intermediate and advanced ones allow entry into intermediate and advanced profound mysteries, respectively.

However, subsequent law cultivation still requires one's own effort.

This was truly too cruel for Beibei.

However, Beibei had also said that ever since he gained entry into the Profound Mystery of Shadow Doppelganger, he would occasionally perceive information regarding it.

Therefore, over the past year, Beibei's strength had also made significant progress.

At the very least, the current Beibei should be stronger than a level-nine Magic Beast.

As for Saint-level Magic Beasts, it was hard to say.

After all, the mere fact that Saint-level Magic Beasts could fly was enough to beat Beibei.

"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley withdrew his gaze and communicated with Lin Ke in the System Space. "Are there any items to help with subsequent cultivation? I'm afraid that after Beibei becomes a Low-God, his strength won't improve for a long time."

"There are, actually." Lin Ke's voice rang out in Linley's mind. "But the price is a bit high. I didn't list them before because I felt it wasn't worth it for you right now."

As Lin Ke spoke, he snapped his fingers and added new items to the shop.

Linley hurriedly opened the system shop.

Law Simulator (Darkness): 10 billion Green Energy Points
Profound Mystery of Shadow Doppelganger: 10 billion Green Energy Points
Profound Mystery of Devouring: 10 billion Green Energy Points
Profound Mystery of Evil: 10 billion Green Energy Points
...

"Big Brother Lin Ke, what is this Law Simulator?" Linley asked with some confusion. "Can't I just buy the profound mysteries directly?"

"The price to buy profound mysteries directly is too high; you can't afford it at all right now." Lin Ke explained, "These profound mysteries are for you to place into the Law Simulator, and then you sit inside to comprehend them. It's equivalent to giving you a guidebook for the profound mysteries. As long as you aren't a fool and have enough time, you will eventually comprehend them."

Hearing Lin Ke's words, Linley's eyes lit up, but he soon shook his head.

The Law Simulator alone cost ten billion Green Energy Points, and subsequently purchasing the corresponding profound mysteries would cost another sixty billion.

A total of seventy billion Green Energy Points made no difference to Linley right now.

He couldn't afford it anyway.

Still, at least he finally had a goal.

"The most important thing for you right now isn't worrying about Beibei's cultivation." Lin Ke's voice rang out again. "What matters most is improving your own cultivation. Once you enter the Plane Prison, you'll have as many energy points as you could ever want."

Lin Ke's words caused the expression on Linley's face to turn serious.

It wasn't just Beibei's cultivation of the laws that required energy points.

Grandpa Doehring's body required even more.

At the very least, in the Yulan Continent, Linley couldn't think of any way to gather enough.

But in the Plane Prison, he wouldn't have to worry about that.

The weakest beings in the entire Plane Prison were at the Saint-level, and there were even High-Gods present.

Linley couldn't even imagine how many energy points he would be able to harvest once he went to the Plane Prison.

However, entering the Plane Prison required at least the peak of the Saint-level, and Linley was even prepared to play it safe.

He would enter only after he had broken through to become a Low-God.

"I understand, Brother Lin Ke." Linley nodded slightly. "By this time next year at the latest, I think I should be able to break through to become a Low-God. I'll enter the Plane Prison then."

Lin Ke didn't think Linley was bragging.

With his help, combined with the fact that Linley himself enjoyed cultivation, breaking through to become a Low-God in a year's time really wasn't a difficult task.

Although Linley's current fusion of two elemental laws was still some distance away from the ten percent mark, this was only the beginning. Once Linley gained a deeper understanding of the Profound Mysteries of Fast and Slow, Earth Pulse, and Earth Elemental, reaching ten percent and breaking through to become a god would be the simplest thing in the world.

"Third brother!"

Just as Linley finished his conversation with Lin Ke, a shout rang out from not far away.

Linley hurriedly stood up to respond, "Boss Yale, I'm over here."

Before long, Yale, George, and Reynolds arrived in front of Linley.

"Good heavens!" Reynolds was the first to notice the crushed rocks beside Linley. "Second brother, could you achieve this using Earth Element magic?"

"Impossible." George shook his head immediately. "Let alone me, even a fifth or sixth-rank Earth Element mage could at most shatter a boulder. To reduce it to this state is absolutely impossible; it would take at least a seventh-rank mage."

As George said this, the three of them looked at Linley in unison.

"Alright, stop guessing." Linley said with a smile, "What are you all doing here?"

"Third brother, you've been overdoing the cultivation again, haven't you?" Yale couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Tomorrow is our day off, and we agreed to go to Bishui Heaven."

Yale's words made Linley nod in sudden realization.

It was that time of the month for their day off again.

"Delia came looking for you earlier, too." Reynolds winked at Linley. "We didn't say we were going to Bishui Heaven; we just said you'd be heading home today. Don't worry!"

"I wouldn't be doing anything even if I went to Bishui Heaven." Linley instinctively retorted, "At most, I'd just be having a few drinks outside with second brother."
