In an open area of Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, the group had just finished eating and were resting.
Veronica was grooming Linda, while Clear Spring was concocting poison.
Ever since discovering her amazing talent in poison concoction, Clear Spring has spent her spare time researching poisons. Of course, she used to concoct poisons to pass the time, but back then it was to take revenge on the Beirut Family; now it's purely a hobby.
"This guy has been like this ever since he fought that 'Lightning Flash and Blood Rain' guy a month ago; he won't even eat." Veronica looked at Jason, whose face was flashing in front of her.
Jason was deducing Profound Mysteries. In the previous battle, he felt that he had made a breakthrough in the Lightning Element Profound Mysteries. The Profound Mysteries "Lightning Flash" requires constant movement, so it looks like flashing.
For the past month, whether traveling or eating and resting, Jason has always done this: Veronica and the others usually walk behind while Jason moves in a zigzag pattern in front.
"Jason's speed is at least twice as fast as it was a month ago." Clear Spring looked up for a while.
"It seems like this is quite a breakthrough." Linda squinted, enjoying the feeling of being brushed.
Jason's final breakthrough came less than two months after his battle with Lightning Flash and Blood Rain.
Jason had been moving back and forth at high speed in front of Veronica, suddenly burst into a speed several times faster than before. The terrifying speed created a huge sonic boom, causing the surrounding trees to explode into countless flying debris.
"Whoosh, it's fused, it's fused!" Jason suddenly rushed over, grabbed Veronica, and spun her around in the air.
Five minutes later, Jason calmed down, and Veronica kicked him off her. "What fusion? Profound Mysteries?"
"Hmm, the Lightning Flash Profound Mysteries and the Lightning Element Profound Truth are beginning to merge!"
Jason's progress in the Lightning Element Profound Mysteries had been slow; he was only at the beginner level in both Lightning Flash and Lightning Element. He hoped to fuse these two low-level Profound Mysteries Lightning Element Profound Mysteries early as possible. He thought it would take at least a thousand years, but unexpectedly, a sparring match gave Jason a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Do you know what this means?
"Does that mean you can easily run away if Vini tries to hit you in the future?" Linda teased.
"What are you talking about? I'd be happy if my wife hit me, why would I run away!" Jason didn't give the others a chance to continue teasing, "This means it's only a matter of time before I become a god!"
"If you had a tail, it would be held very high!" Clear Spring's big eyes darted around.
"You've only been at the Saint-level for less than ten years, and you dare to spout such nonsense." Veronica pinched Jason's ear.
"Do you know why those at the Saint-level Limit get stuck at the bottleneck for thousands of years?" Jason freed himself from his wife's iron grip. "Because the most difficult part of a Profound Mysteries is entering it and mastering it. Entering Profound Mysteries is extremely difficult; entering it means reaching the Peak Saint. But mastering a profound Profound Mysteries means becoming Lowgod."
"The Profound Mysteries are the laws governing the world. Everyone observes the world from a different perspective, so everyone's initial understanding of the profound Profound Mysteries differs. As Saint-level, it is not difficult to enter the realm of Profound Mysteries, but to master a Profound Mysteries is equivalent to fully understanding a law governing the world. Most Saint-level are stuck at the threshold of mastery."
However, for Saint-level to break through to the Deity-level, it is not necessarily necessary to master a single Profound Mysteries; it is sufficient to comprehend a certain level of one attribute law.
However, there are still not many Saint-level on the Yulan Continent that can do this. It's not that they don't want to, but that after comprehending one Profound Mysteries, the difficulty of entering another Profound Mysteries is no simpler than mastering the original Profound Mysteries.
Understanding the Profound Mysteries is the process of comprehending the world. Once you understand a Profound Mysteries, it's like having a perspective that's close to being perfected. This is a mindset!
At this point, abandoning the Profound Mysteries one is already familiar with and trying to perceive the world from a different perspective becomes extremely difficult. Moreover, the closer one gets to mastering one profound Profound Mysteries, the harder it becomes to enter into Profound Mysteries.
"What does that have to do with the fusion of Profound Mysteries? You've already mastered two kinds of Profound Mysteries in the Lightning Element Profound Mysteries," Veronica asked.
"It doesn't matter much. If I don't Fusion Profound Mysteries, but instead follow the Profound Mysteries to comprehend both of them to the bottleneck level of mastery, I should still be able to break through to the Deity-level."
However, with the fusion of Profound Mysteries, it's estimated that as long as the two Profound Mysteries are fused to half their respective levels, one can break through to the Deity-level! And if the two Profound Mysteries are completely fused, one can break through to the Midgod! Right now, my potential is even greater."
Jason paused, and seeing no response from the other side, asked, "Aren't you happy for me?"
"Huh? You're happy?" Veronica frowned and said, "But I feel like you're just daydreaming. If Fusion Profound Mysteries to become a god were that easy, how come the Yulan Continent only has two, oh, three Deity-level?"
Jason did not tell Veronica about the existence of gods in the Bloodshadow Valley Forbidden Land; she only knew that there were three Deity-level on the Yulan Continent.
"That's because their talent isn't as good as mine." Jason said smugly, "I'm 47 years old now, and I can already Fusion Profound Mysteries, which means—I'm a genius! As long as I have enough time and a stable environment, I will one day reach the pinnacle of this world! Ah, hahahaha—"
Veronica and the two magical beasts exchanged a glance, deciding not to argue with Jason in his current state.
Jason was genuinely happy. He knew the level of the Saint-level in the Coiling Dragon World, and he also knew that with Beirut around, the Yulan Continent wouldn't be peaceful. The Necropolis of the Gods had only been established for less than ten thousand years. Ten thousand years was too short for the powerful beings of the Higher Planes. The great war four thousand years ago was just the beginning, and other powerful beings would definitely descend afterward.
Of course, Beirut isn't afraid, and his Sovereign Spark won't be taken away, but Jason is!
Even the aftershocks of a single battle between Highgod are enough to kill him several times over.
Jason had previously planned to cultivate diligently, then latch onto Linley once he was born, at least reaching the level of Midgod, and then see if he could go to the Infernal Realm with Linley or Ba-Serpent Tarosse. Both of those groups were living quite comfortably in the Infernal Realm, and he only needed to be utterly shameless.
Now it seems that Profound Mysteries began to merge at the age of forty. More than nine hundred years later, regardless of whether Linley was born or not, he would be Midgod! If he could avoid the collapse of the Bosha Dike and the fact that the strong people of the Gebados Plane could no longer escape, then it was entirely possible for him to play it safe and wait until he broke through to the Highgod level before going to the Higher Planes.
All of this requires Jason to have sufficient talent for cultivation, and today's Profound Mysteries fusion has shown Jason that he has this talent!
He doesn't need to depend on anyone, whether it's Linley or Beirut.
