Walking in brocade at night? Better to return home in brocade.

After carefully deliberating on her own abilities, Cal finally turned her gaze toward her attribute panel.

There were few changes here; in terms of cultivation, a progress bar for Physique Growth had appeared, along with an ability named [Primary Saint Body].

According to the records in the [Novice Tutorial], this so-called "Primary Saint Body" was a massive sink for points. The key issue was that without continuous investment, this so-called Saint Body would gradually lose its effectiveness, and maintaining that constant investment was clearly no small expense.

After all, according to the "Novice Tutorial," upon obtaining the Saint Body, one's physical body would grow to the Saint Realm level. This was a physique that could stand toe-to-toe with newly ascended Saint Realm powerhouses using physical strength alone, but in reality, once someone truly stepped into the Saint Realm, who would be foolish enough to rely solely on cultivating Battle Qi?

It was just like how, in theory, the strength of a newly ascended Saint Realm magical beast on paper could only compare to a mid-stage Saint Realm human. However, in reality, any magical beast capable of reaching the Saint Realm possessed wisdom far exceeding that of an ordinary person; their long lifespans brought forth unimaginable intelligence—why else would there be a saying that their wisdom was as cunning as a demon?

As long as those newly ascended Saint Realm magical beasts were given a little time, they could quickly comprehend their own Momentum of Heaven and Earth.

In such a situation, by relying on a Saint Realm physical body, Saint Realm Battle Qi, and Saint Realm Momentum of Heaven and Earth, the combination of all three meant that compared to a human Saint Realm powerhouse lacking a Saint Realm body, a Saint Realm magical beast that had mastered the Momentum of Heaven and Earth possessed true strength comparable to an average peak Saint Realm powerhouse.

As for those Saint Realm magical beasts with stronger bloodline talents and tougher physical bodies, without comprehending the Mysteries, they were stronger than the average peak Saint Realm powerhouse, but only to a limited extent; after all, the ultimate power in this world was still the Laws.

After Cal had comprehended the Wind Element, she discovered that the gap in cultivation at the peak Saint Realm was enormous, ranging from the initial comprehension of the Mysteries to the verge of mastering them.

Judging by the system's progress, Cal belonged to the one-in-a-million tier regarding the Wind Element Mysteries. As for those at the Saint Realm Limit, although Cal was unclear about their specific level of comprehension, someone who could be called "ready to become a God at any moment" likely had a progress rate of over 990,000, or perhaps they were only one-millionth away from fully mastering the Mysteries.

This disparity made Cal want to silently establish a clear distinction for the peak Saint Realm, but once she realized she hadn't even met any other Saint Realm powerhouses, she quietly set that thought aside.

"It seems I can't keep working in isolation anymore. It's time to go out and walk around."

With only her Battle Qi cultivation and that one-in-a-million progress in the Wind Element Mysteries, Cal's strength could only be considered to be at the threshold of the peak Saint Realm. However, by relying on her Saint Realm physical body, at least in close-quarters combat, her strength was now at least a hundred times greater than it had been just moments ago.

After all, the body of a Level 9 Warrior was comparable to that of a Level 6 Warrior, and after stepping into the Saint Realm, the physical body of a Saint Realm powerhouse was generally no lower than the raw physical strength of a Level 8 Warrior. This level of physical intensity would gradually improve even for Mages who didn't focus on training their bodies once they achieved the Saint Realm.

And while the gap between a Level 8 Warrior and the Saint Realm wasn't directly a hundred-fold, the improvements in speed, reaction, strength, defense, and endurance brought about by the change in physique were each no less than sixty or seventy times greater. Only by combining all of these could the overall strength increase by as much as a hundred times.

"If I'm not mistaken, the physical strength of a First Generation Ultimate Warrior should have increased a hundred-fold across all aspects, allowing their overall strength to directly rival some veteran peak Saint Realm powerhouses upon first entering the Saint Realm. Once they mastered the Momentum of Heaven and Earth, I fear that even those at the Saint Realm Limit would have to avoid the edge of their physical might."

"And I recall that the Child of Destiny only received a boost of about sixty-something times when he became a Dragonblood Warrior."

Every aspect being boosted by over sixty times meant the overall increase was surely more than a hundred-fold. But when this level of intensity was placed at the Saint Realm level, its value naturally shrank significantly. After all, speed relied on flight—at the Saint Realm, who would be hopping around on the ground with you? As for reactions, unless one could appear beside a Saint Realm powerhouse in an instant, any speed could be reacted to by a Saint Realm expert.

In Cal's view, the only things that truly mattered for a Saint Realm physical body were pure strength and defense. However, a sixty or seventy-fold enhancement meant that Cal's close-range attacks had increased by that same margin. If an opponent didn't possess strength a hundred times greater than hers, they would have no choice but to avoid her direct attacks.

With the defense provided by that sixty or seventy-fold boost, Cal could even withstand attacks from those whose strength exceeded her own by a hundred times.

"A hundred-fold increase in strength? It's more like those who are a hundred times stronger than me are finally forced to treat me as an equal."

Cal saw things clearly, understanding that perhaps when her comprehension of the Mysteries reached one percent, by relying on her Saint Realm physical body, her strength might not be inferior to an average powerhouse at the Saint Realm Limit.

"And all of this is just the improvement brought by the Primary Saint Body."

Cal couldn't help but glance at the ability belonging to the Saint Body.

[Primary Saint Body (1/5,000,000)]

Five million units of cultivation progress. Based on Cal's current rate of one point per day, just looking at this progress bar made her feel dizzy. That was a long, arduous span of 13,698 years, and she had only lived for three hundred years so far. She would have to live through this vast span of time forty-five more times just to barely approach completion.

The long progress bar was exactly why Cal said this ability appeared strong, but without continuous investment, the Saint Body would gradually lose its utility.

"There are no trash abilities, only my own short-sightedness."

Cal gradually came to her senses and looked up at the sky; that was not only the sky of the Yulan Continent, but also the highest point of the Yulan Continent.

Currently, there were three known God Level powerhouses on the Yulan Continent. The first was the High Priest of the Yulan Empire, who became a God during the War of World Destruction and had existed for over eight thousand years. The second was the War God of the O'Brien Empire, though he had refined a Godhead and his growth was limited. The third was the Plane Overseer, Hodan, but he came from a Divine Plane and could not be considered a native God Level powerhouse.

According to her knowledge of these two God Level powerhouses, the High Priest had become a God on her own and was a life-attribute God Level powerhouse capable of comprehending the Life Law. Her talent was clearly extremely high, but she suffered from the fact that information on anything beyond the God Level was scarce on the Yulan Continent. This High Priest was trapped in a predicament of working in isolation, unable to see the path ahead, and could only struggle to explore the Path of Life. As for why she didn't leave the Yulan Continent, Cal already had the answer in her heart.
