At last, he found the manifestation of the Profound Mystery of Dimension through Wind Elements.
He discovered that the essence of the Profound Mystery of Dimension was arranging Wind Elements in a specific sequence while maintaining vibrations at a particular frequency. Then, by using divine power, one could form the most basic dimensional attack.
Fortunately, Simon had undergone a Soul Mutation and had constantly been consuming Soul Golden Beads, making his soul slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Highgod.
That was why he had managed to deduce and comprehend the Profound Mystery of Dimension so quickly.
The attack power of the newly initiated Profound Mystery of Dimension was still quite ordinary, roughly comparable to the independently mastered Profound Mysteries of Speed and Slowness.
However, it could not compare with the fully mastered Speed Profound Truth. Simon estimated that once the Profound Mystery of Dimension was fully mastered, its purely material attack power should surpass the Speed Profound Truth.
After all, it was the Wind Element's primary offensive Profound Mystery. Such attack power was only natural.
What delighted Simon about this secluded cultivation session was that he had also incidentally initiated the Profound Mysteries of Sound Waves and Sound Music within the Law of Wind.
Simon had known from his previous life that sound was produced through vibration.
What he had not expected was that Coiling Dragon World followed the same principle. It was merely that, within the Law of Wind, what vibrated had become Wind Elements.
When Simon had previously tried making Wind Elements vibrate at various frequencies in an attempt to initiate the Profound Mystery of Dimension, he had accidentally found a vibration frequency that seemed to belong to another Profound Mystery. However, at the time, he had been extremely close to truly comprehending the Profound Mystery of Dimension, so he temporarily noted down that vibration frequency and planned to study it later.
Not long afterward, Simon officially initiated the Profound Mystery of Dimension. After some experimentation and research, he indeed did not take long to initiate the Profound Mystery of Sound Music.
As the most basic Profound Mystery of the Wind Element, the Profound Mystery of Sound Music was not difficult to initiate once its principles were understood.
Simon thought that since he had initiated the Profound Mystery of Sound Music, then the closely related Profound Mystery of Sound Waves should also be possible to initiate using a similar method.
Next, Simon once more altered the vibration frequency of the Wind Elements and caused them to undulate in a manner similar to the fluctuations of Water Elements.
Sure enough, after only a short period of experimentation, Simon found a particular fluctuation frequency. After studying it in depth, he successfully initiated the Profound Mystery of Sound Waves as well.
After successfully initiating the Profound Mysteries of Sound Music and Sound Waves, Simon discovered that these two Profound Mysteries truly were Wind Element Profound Mysteries capable of affecting the soul. However, they had only just been initiated and had not yet fused, so their power was still quite ordinary and they could not offer much help in battle.
Still, initiating three Wind Element Profound Mysteries at once put Simon in an excellent mood.
At this point, they were also about to reach Yanshan City.
Soon, the Leopard-shaped Metal Lifeform stopped before Yanshan City, and the Fiends entered the city together.
To everyone's surprise, Kenchi was also a Fiend. However, he had obviously changed professions afterward and had merely retained his former Fiend identity.
That made things much more convenient for him.
Yanshan City differed from Timbu City. Just like its name, the city was located amid a vast expanse of rocks. Even the various buildings had been made by hollowing out rocks before decorating them.
These distinctive buildings caught everyone's attention, and they all sighed that the trip had been worthwhile.
At that moment, Kenchi stepped forward and agreed to meet everyone outside the city thirty days later at dawn before hurrying off to do business.
No one found this strange.
Afterward, Simon's group headed deeper into the city.
Under Elno's lead, they soon arrived at Yanshan City's most distinctive restaurant—Yanshan Restaurant.
According to Elno, this restaurant specialized in cooking local specialty dishes. It only operated in Yanshan City, with no branches in any other cities of Hell.
The reason was the ingredient used by the restaurant—Rock-Foot Sheep.
This type of sheep could only grow and reproduce in special areas around Yanshan City.
The harsh environmental requirements made Rock-Foot Sheep scarce, which had led to this situation.
Of course, merchants could sell Rock-Foot Sheep elsewhere, but the number they could transport was ultimately limited. Furthermore, simply selling Rock-Foot Sheep was not particularly profitable, so it was rare to find them in other places.
After hearing Elno's introduction, everyone eagerly ordered six sheep, preparing to have a taste.
While waiting for the food to arrive, they began chatting.
"Napote, weren't you going to show us your roast chicken skills? Why haven't you started yet?"
Hamut was genuinely curious. He had quite an interest in good food.
"Ah, I just asked. This restaurant only cooks Rock-Foot Sheep. They don't stock Hell Fire Phoenixes. I'll show you what I can do when there's another chance."
Napote looked rather disappointed. He was very confident in his grilling skills.
"Simon, after this mission is complete, where are you and Fanny planning to go?" Lona asked curiously.
"We plan to rest in Lier City for a while, then take a mission to Bifu Continent."
"You'll have to cross the entire Starry Fog Sea. That's much farther than this mission of ours."
Napote exclaimed. He had never been anywhere that far away in his life.
"Yes, we really will have to cross the entire Starry Fog Sea. The journey is extremely long. Are you interested in coming with us?"
Simon smiled as he invited them.
"Lona and I don't have anywhere else we particularly want to go, so we'll stay with you. Elno, Hamut, are you two coming too?"
"My goal, Elno's goal, is to constantly break through my limits in battle. I can go anywhere. It's rare to meet friends who get along so well, so of course I'll join you. Hamut feels the same way."
"That's right. Doing missions with you is both fun and reassuring, haha."
Hamut hurriedly agreed.
"Then it's settled. After this mission is complete, we'll take a Three-Star Mission directly from Lier City to Green Mountain City on Bifu Continent, then travel from Green Mountain City to Fanny's hometown, Fenglan City."
Simon made the decision.
This journey would be extraordinarily long, spanning the entire Starry Fog Sea. The straight-line distance alone was ten billion li, and the trip would take several decades.
It was an enormous challenge.
There would be countless risks and opportunities along the way.
Had Simon and Fanny not demonstrated strength that convinced everyone, Lona and the others would not have dared take such a risk.
Fanny was very happy. With so many friends traveling together, she would not have to worry about getting bored along the way.
Soon, six whole roasted sheep were brought to the enormous table. Looking at the golden-brown Rock-Foot Sheep before him, Simon's appetite was stirred. The skin of each sheep sizzled with grease, giving off an exceptionally rich aroma.
"It really does look great. I'm digging in."
After saying that, Fanny used a small knife to cut off a piece of mutton and put it into her mouth.
Fanny immediately felt the meat melt the instant it entered her mouth. The roasted mutton was crisp on the outside and tender within, truly melting in her mouth.
At the same time, all sorts of secret spices bloomed across her tongue. Those spices had thoroughly seeped into the mutton.
"Mmm, it's delicious. Simon, you should eat too."
Even Fanny, who was accustomed to all kinds of delicacies, had to admit that this Rock-Foot Sheep was exceptionally well prepared.
Watching Fanny's adorable way of eating, Simon also began to eat.
The others started eating as well.
During the meal, Hamut thoughtfully had the waiter bring over local specialty fruits and fine wine.
It had to be said that the mutton tasted even better when paired with fruit and wine.
After all, Rock-Foot Sheep were a locally raised specialty species. Combined with the unique roasting method, the result greatly surprised Simon and the others.
Soon, the six sheep were completely devoured. Still unsatisfied, they each ordered another one.
God-Level experts did not need food or drink, but life would be far too dull if one had nothing to pursue. Besides, this food truly was delicious.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Hamut took the initiative to pay the bill. He had mentioned this before, so no one argued with him.
Although they had eaten twelve sheep, drunk several bottles of wine, and consumed plenty of fruit, the total cost was still less than five thousand Inkstones.
It was extremely affordable.
"Eating this much only cost five thousand Inkstones. When will I ever spend this million? Haha, I can't spend it all even if I try."
Hamut finally experienced what it felt like to be rich, and even his words became lavish.
Simon and the others laughed at that.
Napote took the opportunity to tease him. "If you can't spend it all, then treat us to more delicious food and fun things. It'll naturally be gone eventually."
"It's a small matter. From now on, leave all food and drink to me, Hamut!"
Hamut declared boldly, patting his chest.
Within this team, Hamut's strength was undoubtedly at the bottom. However, he was highly tactful and knew this was all small money. By following Simon, after just a few battles, he would have enough to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
He greatly enjoyed the feeling of roaming freely through Hell with Simon, Elno, and the others.
Compared with these true friends, he genuinely did not care about such small sums.
Hamut had always been a generous person.
Besides, if one of Simon and the others became a super expert in the future, then even if he, Hamut, became their steward, he could still live carefree for endless years.
The group continued walking through the city. Like other cities in Hell, Yanshan City also had a Fiend Castle, Quicksand Castle, and Kaluosha Castle.
The first two could be found in every city. As for the last one, it depended on the continent. On Bauhinia Continent, it would be Bauhinia Castle; on Kaluosha Continent, it was naturally Kaluosha Castle.
All three places allowed trading, but Kaluosha Castle and Fiend Castle were more formal. These two castles guaranteed the authenticity of goods, and whether buying or selling, prices were clearly marked.
Quicksand Castle was more flexible. All sorts of people gathered there, and the castle had no clear rules regarding trade. Whether one profited or lost depended entirely on oneself.
"Let's visit Quicksand Castle. I've never been there before, so this is a good chance to broaden my horizons."
Simon suggested.
"Haha, sure. I've often heard of Quicksand Castle's great reputation. This is the perfect chance to see it for myself."
Napote enthusiastically agreed.
The others had no objections.
Thus, Simon's group arrived at Quicksand Castle.
Much like its name, Quicksand Castle's exterior looked as though it were covered by a layer of flowing sand, making it appear rather eerie.
They did not dwell on how it worked and simply stepped inside.
Quicksand Castle also had three floors. Most of the first floor was occupied by Midgods trading. Most transactions here were free trade. So long as one paid the venue fee, no one cared what one sold. It was somewhat like the black markets Simon had heard of.
Simon discovered that there were many places selling information here, but the problem was that those who sold information bore no responsibility for its authenticity.
