Panlong: My Auto-Level Training System

Chapter 63 The Essential Conditions to Become a Strong Person

A century of seclusion.

Karl only chose to leave when he felt he could go no further.

At this point, Karl's understanding of the profound mysteries of the wind element had exceeded 99%, and he was not far from the final step. However, once he truly reached that step, Karl, like everyone else, encountered a bottleneck.

The road ahead is not a fact, but an illusion that cannot be touched.

They knew that the next step might lead to becoming a god-level powerhouse, but that step might be a hurdle they could be stuck on for countless years.

"Perhaps this is why other Saint-level powerhouses are stuck at their limits."

Karl also envied Linley's talent, after all, he was one of the few people on the Yulan Continent who could intuitively feel how long it would take to become a god.

Others who want to become gods choose to specialize in one profound art. With enough talent, they encounter few bottlenecks before becoming gods. Even if they make little progress for a while, they only stagnate for a few decades or centuries. Only after reaching the limit of the Saint Realm will they encounter a true bottleneck.

Linley chose to fuse profound mysteries, a method that is more difficult than specialization because each step of this comprehension may be a bottleneck. However, the advantage is that before becoming a god, one will not encounter the kind of limitation that Karl has now, where there is no way to progress.

"At most a hundred years. If it still doesn't work after a hundred years, I'll have no choice but to try to fuse with the profound mysteries," Karl thought to himself.

Over the years, Karl's talent has grown time and time again. Although he could not purchase a second profound mystery before he mastered the element of wind, it did not mean that he only possessed one profound mystery.

As for the nine profound mysteries of the wind element, Karl might not dare to say much about the other mysteries, but he has also gained some insights into the mysteries of speed and dimensions over the years.

Just like his own ultimate move, "Sword of Wind," it was actually just an incorporation of his understanding of the wind element, and could not be considered a truly masterful ultimate move.

Going further up, Karl can also incorporate the mysteries of speed and dimensionality into it.

"If all else fails, this is the only way to try. I will comprehend the mysteries of speed and the mysteries of dimensions, choose one or both, and then integrate them into my 'Sword of Wind'. No, I shouldn't say that. I should say that I will create a completely new 'Sword of Wind'."

Simply incorporating other mystical properties into the element of wind will not achieve a balance between the two.

The fusion of mysteries is not a literal fusion of 99+1, but rather a theoretical fusion of two mysteries with a maximum of 100%, finding common ground between them and using that as a starting point.

With Karl's current understanding of the mysteries of speed, his level is only about 10%. When he merges with the mysteries of the wind element, the fusion progress is at most 10% of the two mysteries. More often than not, he cannot merge that much.

This was also Karl's backup plan, since to achieve godhood through this method, the fusion of the two profound mysteries only needed to reach 50%.

However, this does not mean that Karl only needs to comprehend fifty percent of the element of wind and fifty percent of the mystery of speed, and then fuse the two together.

In practice, Karl would probably need to comprehend each of the two profound mysteries to near-mastery before he could possibly succeed in fusing them.

But in any case, this is also an opportunity for Karl.

Information asymmetry can sometimes be a kind of opportunity.

After all, if the Saint-level powerhouses of the Yulan Continent knew that becoming a god involved not only mastering a profound mystery but also fusing it with other profound mysteries, then the Yulan Continent might not only have a few god-level powerhouses now.

Even the God of War believes that to become a god, one must specialize in only one profound art, which reveals the thoughts of these Saint Realm experts.

First, comprehend the profound mysteries to the limit of the Saint Realm. As for whether you can become a god, it depends on whether you can cross that step. If you really don't want to, spend time. If it doesn't work after thousands or tens of thousands of years, then try the Graveyard of the Gods.

When Karl's thoughts reached this point, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes.

The Yulan Continent does not literally have only a few god-level powerhouses. Currently, the Yulan Continent has a total of four god-level powerhouses: Beirut, the king of the Dark Forest; Huodan, the guardian of the plane; High Priestess Catherine; and Martial God O'Brien.

Although the Plane Guardian, Huo Dan, is a god-level powerhouse, he has always been in the far north. Unless a new holy domain appears on the Yulan Continent, it is difficult for others to see him.

Besides these four, are there really no other god-level powerhouses on the Yulan Continent?

Why do dimensional prisons exist, and what are the identities of those exiled god-level powerhouses?

The mid-level god in the Graveyard of the Gods was once the king of the deep sea on the Yulan Continent.

"Perhaps the current situation on the Magnolia Continent was intentionally orchestrated by that person."

Although Karl's time as a Saint was very short, thanks to the opportunities of the micro-plane, Karl's comprehension was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of other Saints. For bottlenecks that might take Saints decades to overcome, Karl might not even feel the bottleneck. This is why, in just a few decades, Karl has already made a very long journey to the peak of the Saint realm.

It was only after this that Karl revealed his ability to easily kill Saints, thus earning him an audience with the God of War.

What if we don't have these?

The normal growth path of a Saint Realm cultivator is visible. After several decades or even hundreds of years, their understanding of the power of heaven and earth reaches its peak. Then, over the next few hundred years, they sense the existence of the laws and thus step into the pinnacle of the Saint Realm.

Once they reach the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, they will be summoned by the God of War or the High Priest.

No matter how talented they are, they are still beginners when it comes to the laws. If a god-level expert who has mastered the profound mysteries is willing to teach them, most of the holy domains will choose to specialize in one profound mystery.

"Therefore, once one reaches the limit of the Saint Realm, it will inevitably be very difficult to advance further."

"If there is no progress for decades or even centuries, then the Tomb of the Gods, which is only opened once every thousand years, becomes their best chance to advance to godhood, even if they may die inside."

After all, to become a strong person, one must meet a certain condition.

That is belief.

Saint-level experts, especially those recognized by the Martial God and others, are all at the pinnacle of the Yulan Continent. If they choose to live a life of ease, they can act arrogantly and domineeringly on the Yulan Continent. As long as they do not offend god-level experts, they are unlikely to face any danger to their lives.

In reality, most of the Saint-level experts on the Yulan Continent chose to cultivate in seclusion after hundreds or thousands of years, because they preferred to advance further than a comfortable life.

Even if it costs me my life.

"I also have the same belief in becoming a strong person."

The fundamental reason why Karl didn't want to go to the Graveyard of the Gods was not because it was dangerous, but because the rewards were disproportionate to the effort.

After all, the best thing a Saint-level being can obtain is only a lower-level godhood.

Having obtained a lower-level godhood through countless near-death experiences, will Karl choose to refine it?
