22: Chapter 22 The Differences Between the Sanctuaries!
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Night had fallen.
A campfire burned slowly.
Allen and Linley sat on the ground around the campfire.
Bebe was perched on Linley's shoulder, glancing at Allen from time to time.
"Big Brother Allen."
"I heard from Boss Yale."
"When you were 16, you were already a Level 9 Warrior."
"So what about now?"
"Have you... reached the Saint-level?"
A moment later.
Linley spoke first, asking Allen.
When he first heard about Allen's affairs.
Linley's heart was filled with shock.
A 16-year-old Level 9 Warrior!
Linley had never imagined that someone could be such a Prodigy to that extent.
Now.
Several years had passed.
According to what Boss Yale had said.
Allen should be 24 years old by now.
From 16 to 24, eight years had passed in between.
With Allen's talent to Cultivate, he must have become even stronger, right?
"Hmm."
"I broke through two years ago."
Hearing Linley's question.
Allen did not hide it and answered directly.
In Allen's plan.
He planned to wander into the core area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Therefore.
Allen didn't know when he would leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
But Linley was different.
In the original story.
After Linley awakened his Dragonblood Warrior Bloodline, he would soon return to the Ernst Institute.
And Yale was also at the Ernst Institute.
Once Linley saw Yale, he would definitely mention Allen.
In this way, it could be considered a roundabout way of reporting that he was safe.
"Really?"
"Big Brother Allen, have you become a Saint-level Expert?"
Hearing Allen's answer.
Linley couldn't help but widen his eyes.
When he was very young.
He had seen two Saint-level Experts fighting.
The might of the Saint-level Experts had terrified the young Linley.
From that moment on.
Deep in Linley's heart, a seed to become an expert had been planted.
And what about Allen?
A young man in his twenties had actually become a Saint-level Expert.
This filled Linley's heart with shock.
It wasn't just Linley.
The expression on the face of Bebe on Linley's shoulder was also quite comical.
Even though it had long guessed that Allen's strength was very high.
But it really hadn't expected that Allen had already become a Saint-level Expert.
"Linley."
"Your talent is quite good."
"As long as you work hard to Cultivate, you will be able to become Saint-level sooner or later."
"However."
"You need to understand one thing."
"The Saint-level Realm really isn't much."
"Even among Saint-level Experts, there is a huge gap between them."
"..."
Seeing the reaction of Linley and Bebe.
Allen shook his head and said with a chuckle.
One knows one's own situation best.
If not for the heaven rewards diligence system.
Allen's own talent couldn't compare to Linley's at all.
Linley, not yet 16, was already a Level 6 dual-element mage.
Most importantly.
As Linley activated the Bloodline within his body.
Linley's strength would soon experience its first explosive growth.
"The gap between Saint-level Experts?"
"Big Brother Allen, can you tell me about it in detail?"
Hearing Allen's words.
A look of curiosity appeared on Linley's face.
Although his Grandpa Doehring was also a Saint-level mage.
But in the past.
Linley had never asked about Saint-level Experts.
Right now.
Since Allen had brought it up.
Linley naturally wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the Saint-level.
And after Linley finished speaking.
Bebe also blinked its eyes, a human-like expression appearing on its face.
"Alright."
"Then I'll tell you."
"Whether it is a Saint-level Warrior or a Saint-level mage."
"Their strength is usually divided into four levels."
"The first level of Saint-level, the newly advanced Saint-level."
"The newly advanced Saint-level refers to those who have just broken through, and whose battle qi or magic power has not yet reached its Peak."
"The second level of Saint-level, the veteran Saint-level."
"The veteran Saint-level refers to those whose battle qi or magic power has reached the limit of the Saint-level Realm."
"The third level of Saint-level, the Peak Saint-level."
"Experts at this Realm have already comprehended the Law."
"With every gesture, they can trigger the Mysteries of the Laws, unleashing even greater power."
"The fourth level of Saint-level, the Saint-level limit."
"Experts who have reached this Realm have comprehended a certain Mystery of the Laws to an extremely profound level."
"As long as they take the final step, they can break through the Bottleneck of the Saint-level Realm and become a more powerful God-level Expert."
"..."
Speaking of this.
Allen shifted his gaze and glanced at the coiling dragon ring hanging around Linley's neck.
"In short."
"For Saint-level Experts."
"Battle qi and magic power are actually not important."
"Whether or not one can comprehend the Mysteries of the Laws is the key to judging strength."
"Even if there is no battle qi or magic power in the body."
"Even if the Physical Body is damaged and only the Soul survives."
"However."
"As long as he has comprehended the Mysteries of the Laws."
"He is still an expert among the Saint-level and still has hope of becoming a god."
"..."
In the original story.
To let Linley escape and survive.
Doehring Cowart would burn his Soul to release the ultimate earth-element forbidden spell.
Even if Linley became the Grandmist Controller, there was no way to resurrect Doehring Cowart.
This was Linley's greatest regret.
But now.
Allen wanted to give Doehring Cowart a hope.
Although Doehring Cowart no longer had a body and could not refine a Godspark to become a god.
But he could still comprehend the Mysteries of the Laws.
As long as he comprehended a certain Mystery of the Laws to the Realm of Perfection.
The laws of heaven and earth would descend, naturally reconstructing a body for him, which was equivalent to living another life.
"Really?"
"Big Brother Allen, are you not lying to me?"
As soon as Allen finished speaking.
Linley jumped up in excitement.
And the necklace hanging around his neck flashed with an invisible ripple.
However.
This invisible ripple quickly disappeared.
If Allen hadn't been paying attention all along, he wouldn't have even noticed the slightest anomaly.
"Hmm."
"It is true."
Allen knew what Linley was excited about.
But he didn't point it out, instead answering affirmatively again.
The information he spoke of wasn't actually much of a secret.
But Linley's strength was too weak, and he couldn't come into contact with these things yet.
As for Doehring Cowart?
It wasn't that Allen looked down on Doehring Cowart.
Although Doehring Cowart was a Saint-level mage of five thousand years.
His cultivation before his death was at most at the second level of Saint-level.
Even.
Doehring Cowart might not even know about the Mysteries of the Laws.
Even if he knew, he had never comprehended any Mystery of the Laws.
Because in the process of teaching Linley, he had never mentioned the Mysteries of the Laws.
Most importantly.
If Doehring Cowart had comprehended the Mysteries of the Laws.
Facing a few Level 9 Warriors.
Relying on his grasp of the Mysteries of the Laws.
Even if he only had his Soul left, he could easily deal with the other party.
Yet.
Doehring Cowart chose to burn his Soul.
This was enough to prove that he had not comprehended the Mysteries of the Laws.
