Marshal Mengba

Lei Mo stayed with Marshal Mengba Erich for a long time and spoke at length. He did not hold back, sharing some of his own insights on cultivation, as he was certain this man would eventually be one of his own.

Unfortunately, this was a military camp. Lei Mo was unsure of the scale of the disturbance Franklin's innate divine ability would cause; if it were anything like other divine beasts, the commotion would be far too great.

He dared not attempt it. Lei Mo still had to make a living in the Keaton Kingdom and could not afford to do anything inexplicable.

After chatting extensively about insights into cultivation with Mengba Erich, the way the marshal looked at Lei Mo had changed.

He did not provide specific guidance on Mengba's cultivation—nor could he, as their battle qi differed, and their methods of cultivation were vastly distinct.

For instance, Bloodhoof Battle Qi had clear fire-attribute characteristics, whereas the battle qi Mengba Erich cultivated was clearly of the earth element.

However, as a transmigrator, his advantages were obvious. The earth element was what Lei Mo understood best, so he explained the six directions contained within the earth element without explicitly calling them profound mysteries.

After listening to Marshal Mengba's description of his own battle qi and having him demonstrate it, Lei Mo fell into deep thought.

"Your battle qi, when cultivated to the extreme, clearly points toward the gravity space. I happen to have a little trinket that possesses abilities in this regard, which I can give you as a reference."

"However, this direction is one of the more difficult ones within the earth element. You must be prepared for bitter cultivation."

Lei Mo spoke the truth. Gravity space was a high-level profound mystery, and it included three minor directions: positive gravity, negative gravity, and space. None of them were simple, but Mengba Erich was lucky to have encountered Lei Mo.

After saying this, he took his leave and returned to his military tent. From his spatial ring, he took out a cube-shaped metal block and carved a rune onto each of its six faces.

They were the Gravity Rune—occupying two faces for positive and negative—the Sturdiness Rune, which Lei Mo now knew corresponded to the earth element, the Strength Rune, the Image Rune, and the Illusion Rune. Lei Mo had carved five of the seven runes he had mastered.

Although these runes could not allow one to truly comprehend the laws, they could provide significant inspiration to those with corresponding talents.

The final Image Rune and Illusion Rune likely corresponded to the Image profound mystery and the Fog Illusion profound mystery of the water element.

The remaining two runes Lei Mo had mastered were the Burning Rune and the Light Rune; one aided combustion and the other provided illumination. They were very practical, but of no help to one's strength.

After carving these runes, he activated them one by one using a special soul fluctuation. A small trinket containing five profound mysteries of the earth and water elements was successfully crafted.

Lei Mo had never been this attentive to his own affairs; he was truly going all out for Mengba Erich.

This cube could at least test whether Mengba had the talent for the five profound mysteries of the earth and water elements.

If not, the next time he returned to Bloodhoof, he would have other rune engravers produce more trinkets for other laws.

Lei Mo had tried; no matter how long he meditated, he could not master any more runes.

According to Franklin, being able to comprehend a rune at all indicated at least some potential in that area, no matter how faint.

This gave Lei Mo a glimmer of hope; otherwise, having only a Destruction talent would be too embarrassing.

He personally delivered the trinket to the marshal's tent. This time, he did not engage in further conversation with Mengba Erich and returned straight to his own tent.

He began to ponder the information he had obtained from Mengba: this continent was called the Seraph Continent.

Once, the entire continent had been the territory of the Elves. The Elf Queen at the time, Seraph, had effectively unified the entire continent, but for reasons unknown, she later abandoned her rule and retreated to the Elf Forest.

There was another piece of information that left Lei Mo extremely shocked: Marshal Mengba had never heard of the concept of material planes, nor did he know of supreme planes or divine planes.

This left Lei Mo's state of mind quite complex. He had no mood to care about any Saint-level experts; he did not know if it was simply a lack of knowledge on the marshal's part or something else entirely!

Composing himself, he had Bill guard the entrance and began his experiment. He took out Franklin, inserted it into the ground, and watched it rapidly grow until it brushed against the top of the tent.

He sat cross-legged, following the fluctuations of the laws, and stared at the complex and mysterious runes on Franklin's body.

They were densely scattered, yet when looked at closely, they intertwined with one another. It was impossible to tell which part was the beginning, yet it gave Lei Mo the feeling that every endpoint of a rune was a beginning, and perhaps also an end.

No wonder they say the laws have no specific profound mysteries. How is one supposed to distinguish them? All the Destruction runes look extremely scattered, yet they are intertwined and entangled with each other, Lei Mo thought silently.

How do those who cultivate the laws of Destruction and reach the Great Perfection do it? They don't have a Franklin! Lei Mo felt deeply moved.

The laws were simply too difficult. Franklin's initial runes were equivalent to displaying the mysteries of the laws right before Lei Mo's eyes. Only by leveraging the slaughter on the battlefield had he managed to touch upon a corner of the laws' cultivation today.

Setting aside these extraneous thoughts, Lei Mo stared at the chaotic yet orderly complex runes. Following the fluctuations of the laws, his soul continuously deduced them.

He forgot the time and the difficulty of cultivating the laws until, at a certain moment—hum—his soul trembled slightly, as if he were bathing in a hot spring. It was indescribably comfortable!

Lei Mo suddenly felt the laws of the entire world revolving around him. All the energy around his body became his aid, as if the shackles of his soul had been unlocked, ready to embrace this world.

Lei Mo opened his eyes. Even without looking at the runes on Franklin, he could feel the intertwining and entanglement of the law energy and the runes.

"My body and spiritual energy have both reached the Saint level. The fluctuations of the laws in this world are so clear!"

Lei Mo was on the verge of tears. He had never been so moved; this feeling—this comfortable feeling—was wonderful!

I am finally no longer a poor wretch without cultivation talent. Lei Mo reached up and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He stretched out his hands in a hugging gesture, as if to embrace the entire world!

"Comfortable, so comfortable!" Lei Mo muttered to himself!

He stood up and stretched his back. Without communicating with his spiritual energy, he hovered steadily in the air by his physical body alone.

That was enough for now. What followed was the matter of continuing to comprehend the laws. As it stood, he could make progress even without fighting or killing.

He just didn't know if it could support him in reaching the God level. Those who do not enter the God level are all ants!

Now it is time to meet the various experts and learn about the Saint-level experts on this continent! Lei Mo thought.

Lei Mo flew toward the main tent of the Magic Beast Knights. The guards at the entrance, seeing it was Lei Mo, hurried to report to the vice-commander. The Divine Wind Bear looked at his flying master with a face full of admiration.

"So powerful, so powerful! How long has it been? How long has it been? He went from the eighth rank to the Saint level! I, Bill Cleveland, truly have heaven-defying judgment!"

Bill the Divine Wind Bear tilted his head forty-five degrees to look at the sky, striking a pose of looking down upon the world, yet he only looked even more adorable!
