Chapter 12 Steady as a Star, Fierce as a Wave
According to Karl's understanding, the Saint Realm level can be roughly divided into two levels. The first level is from the early stage to the middle stage of the Saint Realm, where one cultivates the power of heaven and earth. The second level is from the peak stage to the limit stage of the Saint Realm, where one cultivates the laws of heaven and earth.
Early stage of the Holy Domain, Middle stage of the Holy Domain, Peak stage of the Holy Domain, Limit stage of the Holy Domain.
This is the division of strength among the Saint Realm experts. Among the top experts on the continent, the vast majority are at the peak of the Saint Realm, with only a few reaching the limit of the Saint Realm.
The reason for this is simply because the experts at the peak of the Saint Realm have already mastered the power of the elemental laws. Even if it is only a superficial understanding, they can still unleash strength far exceeding that of the mid-stage Saint Realm in an instant. An expert who has just entered the peak of the Saint Realm is enough to kill a mid-stage Saint Realm expert who has mastered the power of heaven and earth in one strike.
Only by comprehending the power of the laws can one be considered to have embarked on the ladder to godhood.
However, the laws are elusive, and even the slightest bit of them can have explosive power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Naturally, it is extremely difficult to comprehend such great power.
From the early to the middle stages of the Saint Realm, one cultivates the power of heaven and earth. However, becoming a Saint Realm expert is already extremely difficult, and cultivating the power of heaven and earth within the Saint Realm is even more difficult. Saint Realm experts from humble backgrounds may wait for hundreds or even thousands of years to reach the early stages of the Saint Realm.
However, the experts of the Holy Domain of those powerful forces are different. They have ancient traditions and abundant experience, and have created unique skills suitable for various attributes.
Cultivating these unique skills is essentially cultivating one's own power of heaven and earth. Once the skills are mastered, there is a slight chance to comprehend one's own laws and power from them.
This power of law, which is insufficient to support the Holy Realm's transcendence of the Divine Realm, is also known as the Profound Mystery.
The hustle and bustle of the city lord's mansion began to subside, and the nobles began to disperse.
Behind the city lord's mansion was the residence of the Talos family.
A family is a family, and a territory is a territory.
Karl Talos stood silently by the stone table in the backyard, looking up at the moon in the sky, his mind filled with many thoughts.
Ultimate techniques are unique skills created by at least the peak Saint Realm experts, who combine all their knowledge throughout their lives. These techniques not only contain the changes in the power of heaven and earth, but also the profound power contained within them. They are rare on the Jade Orchid Continent that can directly lead to the peak of the Saint Realm.
The Holy Alliance, the Dark Alliance, the O'Brien Empire, and the Magnolia Empire—why are these four powers the pinnacle of power on the Magnolia Continent? It's because they possess sufficiently complete lineages within them.
Karl glanced at the shop; although there were many items, he clearly didn't see anything like those special moves.
Karl sighed slightly. Since those special moves weren't available in the level 2 shop, he believed they wouldn't appear even at level 3.
Perhaps in the system's view, it has already provided all the necessary conditions for cultivation. Not enough aptitude? As long as you can reach your own limit, the system will start automatic cultivation. Unless you are a lone wolf, there is always a way to play that suits you, whether it is a family or a territory. As long as you have one of these, you can get a boost to your cultivation speed, and breaking through the limit will be a natural thing.
Breaking through from level six to level seven is easy if you have blood relatives and spend some time. This kind of automatic training is enough to cultivate to the peak of level nine warrior.
As for what to do after reaching the peak of level nine, Karl's experience also provides the answer. Either you have poor physical talent but excellent comprehension, and you can comprehend the power of heaven and earth on your own, or you are like Karl, with poor physical talent and mediocre comprehension, and can only buy attribute seeds from the system to unlock the power of heaven and earth.
As for why the system shop doesn't sell ultimate techniques, it's because the ultimate goal of cultivating ultimate techniques is to fully comprehend the power of heaven and earth, thereby seeking that sliver of opportunity to cross over to the peak of the Saint Realm.
The system is quite straightforward. Since the purpose of cultivating ultimate techniques is to cultivate the power of heaven and earth, and one can expect to comprehend profound mysteries upon reaching the pinnacle, the system will automatically cultivate until one reaches the pinnacle of the power of heaven and earth. After that, there is no need to painstakingly comprehend them. Just purchase a seed of profound mystery, and you will be directly guaranteed to reach the peak of the Saint Realm.
As for whether Karl can fully utilize the improved mastery of the power of heaven and earth, that's a matter for the host and not something the system can interfere with.
After all, there are many such people on the Yulan Continent. They comprehend the same profound mysteries and their progress is almost the same. However, some people can integrate the mysteries into their every move and test, while others can only integrate them into their strongest ultimate move. The difference in skill is immediately apparent.
Karl is quite satisfied now. His system is not simply limited to one use when AFK. As long as he has enough points, he can AFK however he wants. However, there are only two types of systems that can be AFK now.
One is the cultivation of one's own fighting spirit, and the other is the comprehension of the power of heaven and earth.
Since these are all improvements brought by the system, the foundation is undoubtedly solid. However, Karl's talent is only average. No matter how solid the foundation is, it is difficult for him to exert his full power. It is just like the system provided Karl with an adult body, but Karl can only exert the power of his youth.
"The path of cultivation must be taken step by step."
Consuming 1000 points daily allows the system to automatically run for a whole day, providing Karl with a slight boost to his battle qi. Once he no longer had to worry about points, Karl simply activated two automated training programs, consuming 2000 points daily. This way, his battle qi and the power of heaven and earth would improve a little every day.
As for Saint-level cultivation, Karl knew that in the early to mid-stages of Saint-level cultivation, the progress in Battle Qi and the power of heaven and earth was only 10000 points. This meant that it wouldn't even take thirty years. Even though Karl had to make do with what he had for the past few years due to his scarce points, it would only delay him by a few more years.
When Karl was still a Level 6 warrior, that was when his cheat ability truly began. From a Level 6 warrior at the age of 100 to a Level 9 warrior at the age of 200, Karl had waited for over a hundred years. Moreover, now that he had crossed over to the Saint Realm level and possessed almost eternal life.
In the material plane, Saint-level experts and God-level powerhouses are rare and not particularly fond of ruling. These factors mean that, unless there is an invasion from another plane, Saint-level experts on the Yulan Continent have very long lifespans and live in peace.
Under the leadership of Karl, a man of profound experience, Starfire City began to develop steadily, while the Anlan Kingdom began to decline.
The Grand Duke, who controlled a province, chose to split from the Kingdom of Anlan and establish his own duchy.
Someone has already made the first move, and Karl believes that An Lan is unlikely to survive this ordeal.
