Lin Lei’s Earth divine clone and original body immersed themselves in cultivating the ‘Laws of the Earth’. Although they were continuously improving in the profound mystery of ‘Gravity Space’…
The fusion of ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’, however, hadn’t even reached the entry level!
For two profound mysteries to merge, the entry stage is the most crucial. Once you enter, further improvement becomes a natural flow. But if you haven’t even entered, no amount of time spent is useful.
Lin Lei wracked his brain, trying every method to fuse the two profound mysteries.
Yet both ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’ were high-level profound mysteries. Fusing Earthen Pulse with Earth’s Element wasn’t difficult, but fusing it with Gravity Space was extremely hard.
«This won’t work!» After thirty years of bitter cultivation without even beginning the fusion of the two great profound mysteries, Lin Lei grew anxious. «If I’m stuck here, I might cultivate for ten thousand more years and still be stuck in the exact same place, with not a shred of progress. I can’t continue like this!»
«The conditions set by that purple beast are indeed not easily met.» Lin Lei finally realized the difficulty at this moment. Gritting his teeth, he immediately made a decision: «Then I’ll try taking a detour!»
The Earth divine clone would continue its bitter cultivation, attempting to fuse ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’.
Lin Lei’s original body, however, would focus on fusing ‘Gravity Space’ with ‘Earth’s Element’!
Earth’s Element had long since fused perfectly with ‘Earthen Pulse’. If ‘Gravity Space’ could also fuse with ‘Earth’s Element’, then it might be possible, through ‘Earth’s Element’, to find a compatibility point between ‘Gravity Space’ and ‘Earthen Pulse’.
This compatibility point would essentially be the entry point.
Break through at one point, and the entry is achieved. Then the path would be wide open!
In Lin Lei’s thirty-eighth year of bitter cultivation.
«Fusing ‘Gravity Space’ with ‘Earth’s Element’ is much simpler.» It took Lin Lei only eight years to make these two profound mysteries begin gradually merging.
Because ‘Earth’s Element’ and ‘Earthen Pulse’ were already perfectly fused, through Earth’s Element, Lin Lei now had some confidence in fusing ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’.
In Lin Lei’s forty-sixth year of bitter cultivation!
«This detour has finally paid off.» Lin Lei finally managed to make ‘Gravity Space’ and ‘Earthen Pulse’ begin fusing. Once it started, the rest would follow.
Even after initiating the fusion and having both his original body and divine clone cultivate together, Lin Lei still spent an extremely long time to finally break through the bottleneck and fuse the two great profound mysteries, ‘Gravity Space’ and ‘Earthen Pulse’. That year was the two hundred and sixth year of Lin Lei’s cultivation!
This was also because Lin Lei’s original soul had absorbed a vast amount of Amethyst Essence, making it exceptionally powerful.
In the cave within the Amethyst Mountain Range, during Lin Lei’s two hundred and sixth year of confinement.
«Hss…» «Hss…»
Soft snoring echoed in the cave. The purple beast was still lying on the ground, fast asleep. Even in its slumber, it occasionally twitched its nose, looking quite adorable.
Inside the purple sphere of light at the center, Lin Lei was covered in bloody marks from the immense pressure, but at this moment, his face was filled with joy. «I’ve finally fused the two great profound mysteries.» After a full two hundred and six years, relying on the combined efforts of his original body and divine clone, he had finally merged these two profound mysteries.
Now, Lin Lei could actually fuse ‘Earthen Pulse’, ‘Gravity Space’, and ‘Gravity Technique’—all three profound mysteries together, because all three now had points of compatibility for fusion. He could fuse all three.
«However, I’ll deal with that after I get out.» Lin Lei wasn’t about to waste time.
He looked up. The black stone emitting purple light was still floating above.
«Repulsion?» Lin Lei frowned.
Even though he had fused ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’, he still didn’t understand why the repulsive force was generated!
«How exactly does this work? How can I counteract this repulsion?» Lin Lei was filled with anxiety. To counteract this repulsion, he at least had to be able to manifest a ‘Gravity Space’ that itself contained such repulsive force. Only if he could do it himself, fully understanding it, would there be a way to counter it!
But how?
Lin Lei didn’t know!
«That purple beast called ‘Reis Crystal’ only said to fuse the two profound mysteries…» Lin Lei suddenly paused.
He recalled something the purple beast had said earlier—«This is a ‘Gravity Space’ manifested after fusing the profound mysteries of ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’, and it also contains some special applications…»
«Contains some special applications?» Lin Lei murmured.
For a combat technique, the Laws and profound mysteries are one aspect, but how they are applied is also crucial.
For example, two Seven-Star Demons in the
«Turn gravity into repulsion? How is it applied?» Lin Lei carefully observed the surrounding purple curtain of light.
But no matter how he looked, it was just a purple curtain. Lin Lei couldn’t discern anything.
«What exactly is it?» Lin Lei kept thinking. «How do I turn gravity into repulsion?» Gravity and repulsion were two completely opposite forces. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t comprehend how one could become the other.
How could Lin Lei know?
This purple beast dared to set a deadline of ten thousand years because it was confident that an ordinary Mid-level God would almost certainly not be able to escape this purple sphere of light within that time.
Fusing two profound mysteries in ten thousand years wasn’t difficult!
Some geniuses could do it in a century.
However, the most peculiar aspect of this purple sphere wasn’t the profound mysteries themselves, but a special application. This was precisely what ‘Reis Crystal’ was most proud of.
«How exactly is it applied?»
Ignoring the intense pain, Lin Lei closed his eyes, constantly simulating in his mind.
Both his Earth divine clone and original body threw themselves wholeheartedly into it, continuously pondering, running through calculations again and again… Time slipped away during these mental exercises.
In Lin Lei’s four hundred and eighty-second year of confinement!
After more than two hundred years of intense contemplation, Lin Lei had thought of many powerful application methods for the fusion of the profound mysteries of ‘Earthen Pulse’ and ‘Gravity Space’. Yet, he still hadn’t figured out how to turn ‘gravity’ into ‘repulsion’.
«What do I do?»
Lin Lei’s heart was filled with extreme anxiety. After over two hundred years of bitter thought, he still couldn’t find a way to generate repulsion.
«I’ve exhausted every method I can think of. There’s nothing left. What do I do, what do I do?» Lin Lei glared at the surrounding purple curtain, growing frustrated. «Could it really be as Dilia said—worst case scenario, I give up on this Earth divine clone?»
Lin Lei didn’t want to give up on the Earth divine clone!
Not because the Earth divine clone represented an extra life, nor because its soul attacks were the strongest.
But because…
«Earth!» The image of that white-robed elder with hair and beard as white as snow surfaced in Lin Lei’s mind. «Grandpa De Lin…»
It was Grandpa De Lin who guided Lin Lei onto the path of cultivating earth-attributed magic. Lin Lei knew Grandpa De Lin had always wanted to break through to the Saint Realm and become a god, but Grandpa De Lin never got the chance. Lin Lei continued his bitter cultivation and finally became a god in the Laws of the Earth. Now, he had even stepped into the High Plane, the ‘Infernal Realm’!
Lin Lei sometimes thought, «Grandpa De Lin, if he knew I’d become a god in the earth attribute and entered the High Plane, he would be very happy, wouldn’t he?»
