Whenever she thought of this, Fanny would become exceptionally excited, so now, whenever she had no pressing matters, she would stay in the room with Simon to cultivate diligently.

This made Lona quite unaccustomed to the situation; originally, she and Fanny were the least diligent when it came to cultivation within the entire Metal Lifeform, yet who would have thought that Fanny had now become a cultivation fanatic.

Lona had no choice but to follow everyone else and work hard at her cultivation.

Fortunately, most of the bandits encountered along the way were Midgods, and Tara only needed to step forward to scare them off, allowing the group to maintain a relatively quiet cultivation environment.

The only accident during this year was when a group of bandits was led by a Highgod.

But when they wanted to make a move, the Highgod bandit's divine sense swept into the Metal Lifeform and detected another Highgod Fiend inside, so he immediately and wisely chose to give up.

There was no helping it; bandits also had to consider whether the harvest was proportional to the risk.

It was also fortunate that he was sharp enough to slip away, otherwise, Simon wouldn't have minded letting him taste the power of the Ice-Wind Prison.

Just like that, a year passed.

In this year, the Metal Lifeform traveled hundreds of millions of miles, and everyone gradually grew accustomed to this monotonous journey.

During this peaceful year, even many Fiends on their first mission began to feel that the rumored, danger-filled Hell was perhaps nothing special.

Even Simon had this feeling.

In truth, this was normal; while there were indeed many bandits in Hell, not many of them had amounted to anything significant.

The reason Simon and Fanny had encountered so many bandit leaders who were Highgods previously was simply due to their bad luck.

Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't be that unlucky.

This was also the reason why Kenchi had only intended to hire one Highgod Fiend at the start; as long as one's luck wasn't too terrible, the probability of arriving safely at the destination was quite high.

Of course, luck is a very metaphysical thing, and no one is willing to gamble with their own life unless they are destitute...

During this year, Simon successfully perfected the Ice-Wind Prison to its current limit.

After the perfection was complete, Fanny couldn't wait to experience its power.

But once Fanny had truly experienced it, she never brought it up again.

There was no helping it; that powerful squeezing and binding felt just like Fanny facing the Godhead Domain of a Highgod back when she was a Lowgod.

There was absolutely no way to break free; once trapped inside, one could only be at the mercy of others!

Even Fanny didn't want to experience this feeling of having zero resistance a second time.

But thinking that Simon would use this move to protect her in the future, she felt endless sweetness once again.

Sure enough, even as gods, people are double-standard. I don't like being bound, but I like others being bound...

Afterward, Simon spent another month or so developing his current strongest physical attack technique—the Ice-Wind Slash.

Perfectly fusing the two elemental Profound Mysteries of water and wind, the Ice-Wind Slash could easily tear a spatial rift over a meter long in Hell.

Its physical attack power was extremely impressive.

During this period, Simon's wind-element divine clone and his true body also successfully fused the Wind Space with the Profound Mystery of Speed and the Profound Mystery of Slowness by more than half, relying on his understanding of Spatial Properties.

This fusion speed far exceeded Simon's expectations.

At this rate, these three Profound Mysteries were not far from being completely fused.

"As expected, after understanding Spatial Properties, the difficulty of fusing wind-element Profound Mysteries has also decreased."

Perhaps it shouldn't be described as a decrease in difficulty.

Rather, it was that Simon's understanding of the Law of Wind had deepened, and he had more perspectives from which to view problems.

There was a sense of having a bird's-eye view.

It was just like how Simon felt in his previous life that high school mathematics was difficult at first, but after entering university and studying advanced mathematics, he felt that high school mathematics had become simple.

This analogy wasn't entirely appropriate, but it was vivid enough.

Simon had this exact feeling now; the originally obscure and profound Profound Mysteries now seemed not so difficult when he looked at them again, and the places where he previously needed to deduce for a long time to find a breakthrough of inspiration now seemed to reveal their direction in an instant.

He saved a lot of time, and his cultivation efficiency was greatly improved.

Simon was incredibly grateful that he had been able to understand Spatial Properties so early.

If he hadn't understood Spatial Properties, then wanting to reach his current fusion progress would have been unthinkable without hundreds of years of bitter cultivation.

The final bottleneck of fusing the water and wind elemental Profound Mysteries alone was not so easy to break through. It would be normal to be stuck for tens of thousands of years if one were unlucky.

But now, this bottleneck, which was comparable to the difficulty of others fusing three Profound Mysteries of the same law, was broken through as easily as drinking water for Simon.

Simon felt that ever since he understood Spatial Properties, his cultivation was like using a cheat code; his cultivation speed, which was already fast, was now even faster.

Those original bottlenecks now felt like they were being solved with ease as he cultivated.

Simon was exceptionally pleasantly surprised by this.

Reflecting on it carefully afterward, Simon felt that this should have a lot to do with him being a transmigrator.

Because he was essentially an outsider, he was naturally not restricted by the limitations of this world.

He knew that this world was created by Hongmeng, and he also knew that it was forbidden to comprehend the Law of Space here.

However, although the Law of Space was forbidden to be comprehended, it could still be understood and observed.

The native inhabitants of the Coiling Dragon universe lack this realization; they go their entire lives without the concept of the "Laws of Space," and even if they were to accidentally brush against it, they would unconsciously forget it.

It is tragic, but it is the reality.

Utrecht is the only exception, and that is only because he is a Paragon of the Laws of Destruction.

Because the Laws of Destruction, much like the Law of Wind, are inherently and inextricably linked to space, he is the only one qualified to occasionally touch upon the properties of "space."

And through this, he successfully deciphered the secret of the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability.

This is something that would be absolutely impossible for Orloff to achieve.

Because Orloff is a Paragon of the Laws of Fate, and although his race allows him to calm his heart and study for billions of years without feeling bored.

Yet, being completely cut off from the "Laws of Space," he could never decipher the secret of the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability in his entire life, nor could he ever understand the properties of "space."

In the original story, although Orloff suspected that there were other universes outside the Coiling Dragon universe, he remained only suspicious until the day he died.

Simon, however, is one hundred percent certain that there is a larger Main Universe outside the Coiling Dragon universe, and that these universes all exist within the Hongmeng Space.

This is the difference brought about by one's horizons, and it could also be called Simon's greatest cheat.

The native identities of Orloff and Utrecht have strictly limited their potential.

Even the fact that Utrecht could understand the properties of "space" is surprising enough.

But that is as far as it goes; Utrecht would never in his wildest dreams imagine that there are worlds beyond his world.

He could never even conceive of the existence of such miraculous Supreme Laws as the Laws of Space.

This is also Simon's greatest advantage.

Now, he has seized this advantage and successfully understood the properties of "space" through the Law of Wind.

Although he still cannot comprehend it, being able to observe and understand it is enough; this is crucial for Simon's progress in the Law of Wind.

Chapter 59: First Glimpse of Edge

Now that the Ice-Wind Prison has been perfected, Simon has decided to let his original body rest for a while.

Combining work and rest can sometimes improve cultivation efficiency.

This is also the reason why god-level experts in Hell like to make friends.

In a long and lonely life, finding a soulmate or a lover is a rare thing.

Bringing Fanny to the main hall, he saw that everyone was there.

Simon and Fanny sat down, drank with the others, and chatted about everything under the sun.

"Hell is truly vast. We've spent most of our time on the road; if only someone could invent a faster mode of transportation."

Hamut said, bored.

During this year, whenever he wasn't cultivating, he would sit by the window of the Leopard-shaped Metal Lifeform and look outside.

His greatest feeling during this time was that it was far, so damn far...

"Hell has existed for such a long time; if there were a more convenient mode of transportation, it would have been popularized long ago. The fact that it hasn't means that the metal lifeform is already the optimal choice for the present."

Elno analyzed.

Due to his previous special professional status, he had been able to come into contact with many upper-echelon figures in Hell, and his horizons were very broad.

He knew very well that even experts like Seven-Star Fiends would travel by metal lifeform unless they encountered something urgent.

"Yeah, but traveling like this is really slow..."

Hamut's personality is the type that is playful and restless; making him stay in a fixed place for so long makes him very prone to feeling restless.

Fortunately, he still has friends now, with whom he can chat and exchange cultivation insights.

Simon, on the other hand, doesn't feel much; for him, as long as it is quiet and he is not disturbed, it is fine.

The journey ahead began to get slightly bumpy.

According to Kenchi's introduction, they had officially entered the territory of the Brook Prefecture.

Traveling another tens of millions of miles forward would bring them to the Dat Tribe.

The Brook Prefecture is also a medium-sized prefecture, with ten cities within its borders, and everything else is wilderness.

"The metal lifeform ahead, stop!"

Just as the caravan was passing through a mountain range, a large group of bandits suddenly appeared in front, intercepting Simon and the others.

"You really thought you could just waltz through the Yanfeng Mountain Range like this?"

A middle-aged man dressed in dark green warrior gear shouted at the Leopard-shaped Metal Lifeform.

Simon was in the middle of fusing the Wind Space and the Profundity of Speed, and being suddenly interrupted put him in a very bad mood.

Following the others out of the metal lifeform, he discovered that the number of bandits in front of them was not small, with three Highgods and nearly a thousand Midgods—a decent bandit group.

At this moment, Kenchi said helplessly.

"My lord leader, it's just that I hadn't encountered you the last time I passed through here. If I had known, how could I not have stopped to pay my respects to you lords?"
