Chapter 60 Martial God
Chapter 60 Martial God
"That's naturally because of the teacher's instructions," Farn said slowly.
Fane could sense Karl's power; although not as great as his own, the difference wasn't too great.
If we compare the laws of elements to a bottomless ocean, then the profound mysteries comprehended by those who have just entered the Saint Realm are merely a drop of water.
If Fane uses himself as the standard and his comprehension is 100 drops, then Karl's comprehension of the profound mysteries is at least 80 or 90 drops. Since the difference in comprehension of the elemental mysteries is small, the difference in strength is naturally very small as well.
Such strength, unless one is a true Saint Realm expert at the limit, would still command sufficient respect, even from Fan, who was just one step away from reaching the Saint Realm limit.
Naturally, no competition would be requested.
After all, the real purpose of the competition for Fan was no longer to determine the strong and the weak, but to make the weak realize the gap between themselves and the strong.
"You can rest here for a while, and I'll take you to see your teacher in the evening," Farn said with a smile.
"it is good."
Now that he was here, Karl knew he couldn't avoid this hurdle.
As evening approached, Farn called out to Carl. With Farn leading the way, the two walked to the edge of the mountain path and then flew directly downwards.
Karl comprehended the element of wind, and as the law that excels at speed, Karl's speed is naturally not slow.
In just a moment, the two landed halfway up the mountain.
Here, Karl saw a natural cave.
"Come with me."
The two wandered around the cave for a while before finally seeing a vertical passage at the end of the cave.
Even with his mental powers, Karl couldn't sense how deep the cave was.
"Let's go down, the teacher is waiting for us down there." After saying that, Fain jumped straight down.
Karl followed closely behind, and the moment he jumped down, he felt the wind element begin to thin out.
The sound of the wind whistling in my ears.
"It's over two thousand meters."
Karl silently calculated the distance in his mind.
The two fell for quite a while before they felt the ground. After landing lightly, Farn walked in front, with Carl following behind.
However, the further the two walked, the higher the temperature in the cave became.
"Is the mere emanating power enough to make me, with my Saint-level physique, feel intense heat?"
If it weren't for his Saint-level physical body, Karl would probably have gotten hot and feverish without using his battle aura to protect himself.
The surrounding stone walls were all crimson. After walking for a while, Karl finally saw a dark stone door. The fact that it could remain unchanged under such high temperatures meant that the material of this stone door was obviously not simple.
"Hoo hoo~~"
A scorching heat emanated from inside the stone gate, along with a faint sense of oppression. Faced with this oppressive aura, Karl felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.
"Teacher, the person has been brought here," Farn said respectfully.
Facing a god-level powerhouse once again, even with Karl's current composure, his heart couldn't help but race.
"Fan, you can go down now." A detached voice sounded from behind the door.
"Yes, teacher." Farn respectfully withdrew.
"You surprised me."
After waiting for a long time, Karl suddenly heard the voice of the God of War.
"Although Faen is not the most talented among all my disciples, he is the first disciple I personally took on after I became a god."
Upon hearing this, Karl immediately understood the weight of the God of War's words.
The first disciple of a god-level expert was not chosen out of personal favor, but because he recognized Fa En's talent and decided to take him on as a disciple.
This also means that in the eyes of the God of War, Fain has the potential to become a god.
"But even my personal disciple's growth rate during your time was worlds apart from yours. Even I am no match for you."
The growth of the God of War has long been lost to history. Even those old holy domains that have cultivated in seclusion for thousands of years would not talk about the God of War's growth experience to others because of his status as a god-level powerhouse.
However, Karl knew that the God of War was one of the few powerful individuals in the world who could cultivate to the limit of the Saint Realm at around five hundred years old.
In Carl's view, this was almost an unreasonable speed.
After all, how could someone who has cultivated profound mysteries to the point of being only one step away from becoming a god in the material plane for five hundred years possibly choose to refine a godhood?
Refining a divine spark takes time, ranging from a few years to several decades.
This speed is nothing to those Saint Realm experts who have cultivated for thousands of years, but for a Martial God who has reached the Saint Realm limit in five hundred years, refining a divine spark is tantamount to cutting off his own path.
After all, it takes five hundred years to reach the limit of the Saint Realm, while other experts of the same level have cultivated for several thousand years. Who among them wouldn't be proud and arrogant, wanting to master the profound mysteries and choose to become a god on their own?
Even if there is a possibility of danger, what kind of danger could threaten a Saint Realm expert at the limit, especially one that is not yet fully unleashed?
Just like Linley in the original story, if he really encountered a suitable godhead during the peak of the Holy Domain, and you wanted him to refine the godhead and become a god, you'd see if he would do it or not.
Although Karl didn't know the specifics of the God of War's growth, he had some guesses in his mind.
After all, the soul of someone who refines a divine spark is not compatible with the divine spark, which results in a difference in the divine power they condense compared to someone who becomes a god on their own.
Generally speaking, the divine power of a god is only one-tenth the strength of a powerhouse of the same level. Yet, despite this nearly tenfold difference, the God of War's strength is comparable to that of a high priest who becomes a god on his own. This demonstrates the God of War's profound understanding of the mysteries of the universe.
"It seems that the God of War, besides comprehending the profound mysteries within the divine spark, has also grasped some intermediate or even advanced mysteries of the fire elemental laws. Only in this way can the gap in divine power be bridged."
As for whether one can become a mid-level god on their own after refining a divine spark, while it's not explicitly stated that it's impossible, no one in the world has ever seen such a person.
"Your talent is quite good, and you may be able to master the profound mysteries. As for what you should know, I have already had Faen tell you. There is a red token at the entrance. Accept it, and from this day forward, you will be considered one of my people." The God of War's indifferent voice continued.
"Yes," Karl could only nod in response.
He glanced at the stone gate and saw a flat stone with a crimson token on it, which was slowly flying over after Karl nodded.
Karl looked at the token, which only had the character "武" (Wu) on it.
Karl was somewhat dissatisfied, after all, it meant that he was forced to take sides. Karl preferred to become a god on his own rather than go to the Graveyard of the Gods.
As for whether to stay on the Yulan Continent or leave after becoming a god, that's something I'll consider after I've achieved godhood.
