"Hmm, not bad."
Seeing that Chris had gained some insight and began to cultivate with her eyes closed and heart settled, Roy nodded slightly.
Casually setting up a defensive shield around Chris, Roy returned to the second floor to continue his own cultivation.
For the time that followed, Roy's cultivation was very regular.
Ten years of cultivation, one year of combat, integration, and nurturing the Star Bell, and a few days of explaining the mysteries of cultivation to the little maid.
This cycle repeated.
The speed at which High-level Gods nurtured Divine Artifacts was countless times faster than Demigods.
Ten years later, the Star Bell was promoted to a Mid-level Divine Artifact.
Over a thousand years later, the Star Bell was promoted to a High-level Divine Artifact.
However, at this point, the Star Bell had temporarily reached a limit.
To further enhance the Star Bell's power, ordinary sparring could no longer provide any significant improvement. What was needed was for Roy to use the Star Bell in life-or-death battles, or to kill a massive number of opponents with it, allowing the Star Bell to absorb the battle's malevolent energy and killing intent to enhance its spirituality and further boost its power.
Since sparring was no longer effective for improving the Star Bell, Roy cut down on his sparring time with the other elders. Except for occasionally emerging from seclusion to guide the little maid, he was immersed in his cultivation.
Nearly two thousand years of cultivation had doubled the quality and quantity of Roy's soul.
Currently, Roy's soul was twice as strong as that of an ordinary High-level God.
With the improvement of his soul, even though Roy hadn't dedicated all his focus to merging the Profound Mysteries of Laws, the "Power" Profound Mystery of Laws and the other four Profound Mysteries of Laws had finally completed their fusion.
The technique "Five Finger Mountain," which was formed by the fusion of the "Power" Profound Mystery of Laws, the "Earth Element" Profound Mystery of Laws, the "Life Force" Profound Mystery of Laws, the "Gravity Space" Profound Mystery of Laws, and the "Earth Travel Technique" Profound Mystery of Laws, signified that Roy finally possessed a powerful technique at the Asura level.
If classified according to the strength of the elders outside, Roy could already be considered a super expert of the "Asura Prefect" level.
However, according to Roy's own classification, he had only taken the first step at the "Asura Prefect" level.
To truly achieve complete and perfect fusion of the five Profound Mysteries of Laws, he needed to use other Profound Mysteries of Laws as the primary focus, fully integrating each of the other Profound Mysteries of Laws so that there were no barriers between the five Profound Mysteries of Laws, achieving a state of perfect harmony. Only then could he truly reside at the "Asura Prefect" level.
One day, as Roy was cultivating in his room, he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation.
It was the descent of the laws of heaven and earth!
With a thought, Roy's body dispersed into Earth Elements, and in the next moment, countless Earth Elements condensed to form Roy's figure.
At this moment, Roy's gaze was already drawn to the figure of the little maid, Chris.
Currently, in the space where the little maid was located, space was frozen under the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and a blue Godhead, emitting a faint glow, floated above the little maid's head.
Innumerable water-element divine powers surged, and in just a few seconds, a divine body with ice-blue hair was condensed outside this water-element Godhead. When the laws of heaven and earth increased the quality of the little maid's soul to the divine level and then dissipated, the frozen space finally recovered.
"Ah, Elder Roy!"
The first thing Chris's divine body saw upon opening her eyes was Elder Roy standing before her. After a surprised exclamation, she transformed into a blue light and merged into her Saint Realm 본체 (original body).
"Elder Roy."
Chris stood up and said happily to Roy, "Elder Roy, I've become a god!"
"Hmm, not bad."
Roy smiled and said, "You achieved godhood externally, with your soul split. Although your soul's quality has reached the divine level under the effect of the laws of heaven and earth, its quantity is not much more than that of your Saint Realm. I'll find some Soul Gold Beads for you during this time to help your soul recover first."
"Then, I recall that Patriarch Tia Nemo mentioned that you could enter the Vermillion Bird Clan's Bloodline Awakening Pool at any time to activate your bloodline. Once your soul has fully recovered, I'll take you to activate your bloodline."
"Mm."
After the members of the Four Divine Beast Families reached adulthood, they could enter the family's Bloodline Awakening Pool to awaken their divine beast bloodline, directly comprehend a Profound Mystery of Laws to become a god, and also awaken their bloodline divine abilities.
Chris was a member of the Vermillion Bird Clan, one of the Four Divine Beast Families.
As early as when Chris became Roy's maid, Tia Nemo had said that Roy could arrange for Chris to enter the Bloodline Awakening Pool to awaken her bloodline and achieve godhood internally, thus preventing Chris from becoming an "intelligence operative" who might sell Roy's information.
However, at that time, Roy felt that he wouldn't stoop so low as to sacrifice a young girl's future to ensure his intelligence wasn't leaked.
If they truly wanted to gather information about him, the Four Divine Beast Families had plenty of ways to do so.
Moreover, for a true powerhouse, what did it matter if their intelligence was thoroughly researched? As long as their strength was sufficient, they could push through any enemy.
Once one reached Paragon, even Sovereign would have to treat them with courtesy.
With methods to strengthen his soul, Roy had infinite confidence in his future.
Paragon was definitely not his limit.
What he currently needed was time.
In the coming tens of trillions of years, it would be the era of the Four Divine Beast Families. This long period would be enough for him to grow.
At that time, even if the Sovereign of the Four Divine Beasts was killed by Augusta, the Light Sovereign, and the Four Divine Beast Families were purged, Roy would not be afraid.
Having Chris return to her room to recover, Roy walked out of the castle.
His divine sense spread out, and Roy sensed a familiar aura. He immediately soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of the arena.
"Elder Mars."
A few seconds later, Roy's figure stopped at the edge of the arena, and he cupped his fist towards the middle-aged man in yellow robes beside him.
"Oh? It's Elder Roy. It's been a long time."
Elder Mars, whom Roy met over a thousand years ago through Elder Kun Yan, is also a seven-star demon of the Earth Element.
Elder Mars also contributed thousands of battles during the process of Roy's Star Bell's promotion to a High-level Divine Artifact.
"Haha, ordinary battles no longer have much effect on improving divine artifacts, so I've shifted my focus to cultivating the Profound Mysteries of Laws."
"I'm truly envious. I wish I could dedicate my time to cultivating the Profound Mysteries of Laws, but unfortunately..."
At this point, Mars shook his head with a wry smile.
For individuals like them, who have lived for tens or even hundreds of millions of years, a prolonged lack of progress and a waning will can cast a shadow over the cultivation of the Profound Mysteries of Laws, as if several layers of dust had settled upon it.
Having lost their direction and motivation, they developed a deep estrangement from the Profound Mysteries of Laws, mutually repelled. Their achievements in this life have reached their limit.
"Uh..."
Roy didn't know how to respond to this statement.
