With their decision made, Roy and the other two began to walk out of the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.
"Shelley, our safety on this journey depends entirely on you."
Of the three of them, Roy was a Sovereign, and moreover, the strongest ruler of laws. It would be beneath his dignity to attack a god.
Even as a Sovereign, he couldn't attack another Sovereign unless they had offended him.
This was a rule to maintain the order between gods and Sovereigns, and Roy couldn't break it.
As for the young girl Tina, she was only a ten-year-old Saint Realm cultivator, and her combat power in the Infernal Realm was negative.
The only one who could take action was Shelley.
Roy had a high opinion of Shelley's strength.
Roy's main body, who had refined a Fire Element Godhead, possessed the power of a Six-star Devil.
However, Shelley's Wind Element Divine Clone had consumed a Netherworld Fruit and merged with seven Profound Mysteries of Laws, making them an Asura.
Furthermore, Shelley possessed a Lord God Artifact, and ordinary Asura Prefects were no match for Shelley.
...
"Shelley, what is that?"
"Master, what is that?"
Tina had been quite quiet throughout their journey, but once the three of them arrived at the Azure Mansion, the young girl's eyes were wide with wonder. She kept pointing at things on the street and asking Roy and Shelley about them.
Roy and Shelley naturally explained everything to Tina, telling her in detail what each item was used for.
The Azure Mansion was not far from the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range and was considered a private territory by the Four Divine Beast Families.
Currently, the Prefect of the Azure Mansion was a recently risen powerhouse from the Azure Dragon Clan, one of the Four Divine Beast Families—Blue!
It was said that this Blue was currently the strongest individual in the Azure Dragon Clan, second only to the clan leader Gaisleith, and it was perfectly fine for him to be stationed in the Azure Mansion.
Under the governance of the Four Divine Beast Families, the Azure Mansion had excellent public security, with no place for bandits or robbers to hide. Therefore, Roy and the others didn't encounter any unpleasant situations, nor was anyone foolish enough to try and bully them just because they were two adults with a child.
After browsing for a long time, Tina's curiosity was finally satisfied. Led by Shelley, the three of them checked into a hotel.
Yes, this was also an establishment of the Four Divine Beast Families.
That day, Roy told Tina to rest well.
The next day, Roy and the other two specifically went to the Demon Castle to check. There were no recent missions heading towards the Star Mist Sea in the Azure Mansion's Demon Castle. Shelley then took out her Metal Life and flew with Roy and Tina towards the Star Mist Sea.
Although they wanted to show Tina the world, neither Shelley nor Roy would deliberately seek out conflict. Such things were best left to chance.
If they encountered any, they would explain it to Tina.
If not, there was no need to worry too much.
As long as your strength was sufficient, everything in the world would appear beautiful to you.
Roy stood with Tina at the edge of the Metal Life, watching the scenery rush past.
Tina, seeing this scene for the first time, was very intrigued.
However, being a child at heart, within an hour, Tina had already grown tired of the monotonous scenery.
It was then that Roy beckoned Tina to sit down.
"How is it? Has your mind settled down?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Roy's question, a hint of confusion flashed in Tina's eyes.
But then, the confusion disappeared, replaced by seriousness.
"Yes, Master, my mind has settled down."
Roy's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation at Tina's response.
Good, very spiritually attuned.
And very intelligent.
"Then let's begin our first lesson."
"Tina, you were born a Saint Realm cultivator, but the laws you have comprehended are the Profound Mysteries of Fire Element Laws."
"Your father wanted you to follow me to cultivate, mainly so you could learn the Earthly Laws from me."
"So, before we begin cultivating, Tina, tell me, what are your thoughts on the Earthly Laws?"
"Earthly Laws?"
Tina frowned, thinking carefully.
Tina had only lived for ten years. She had met many people, but when it came to the Earthly Laws, the two strongest she knew were her fourth uncle and her master.
What feeling did her fourth uncle give her?
"Steadfast? Lazy?"
And what feeling did her master give her?
"Calm? And confident?"
Many feelings about his two uncles flashed through her mind, conflicting and contradictory in many ways, confusing Tina's small brain.
Finally, Tina shook her head, "I'm sorry, Master, I don't know."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know now."
"Now, I'll give you a general overview of the six profound mysteries of the Earthly Laws."
"Look."
Roy extended his right hand in front of Tina, his palm open.
The profound mysteries of the Earthly Laws condensed into a short yellow rod in Roy's palm.
"See, this is the Earthly Laws."
"Then..."
Roy grabbed the short rod and held it upright.
In Tina's gaze, the short rod in Roy's hand began to spread out from the top, splitting into six ropes of varying colors, brightness, and thickness, hanging down.
It was as if these six ropes were the fundamental components that made up the short rod.
"The Earthly Laws encompass the most basic Profound Mysteries of the Earth Element, the Profound Mysteries of the Earth Travel Technique, the Profound Mysteries of Strength, the Profound Mysteries of the Earth Pulse, the Profound Mysteries of Gravity Space, and the Profound Mysteries of Life Force."
"Wow..."
"Want to try?"
"Can I?"
"Of course."
With Roy's permission, Tina gently reached out and touched the six hanging ropes.
As she touched each rope, Roy's voice would explain it to her.
"This yellow rope is the most basic and important profound mystery of the Earthly Laws; it is the Profound Mysteries of the Earth Element Law."
"This brightest one is the Profound Mysteries of Life Force Law."
"This slightly black one is the Profound Mysteries of Gravity Space."
"The hardest rope is the Profound Mysteries of Strength."
"The lightest colored one is the Profound Mysteries of the Earth Travel Technique."
"This most restless one is the Profound Mysteries of the Earth Pulse."
If Tina were a beginner, Roy would definitely have taught her the way of material plane magic academies, having her meditate first, sense the elements in heaven and earth, and then teaching her magic that was most closely related to these six profound mysteries of laws for targeted learning.
But Tina was already in the Saint Realm; she didn't need to increase her mental power bit by bit through meditation like those people.
Tina's own mental power was enough for her to begin comprehending the profound mysteries of laws.
To give Tina a greater chance of achieving Paragon, Roy's first lesson was to plant a seed directly in Tina's heart -
The Earthly Laws were, in essence, laws formed by the fusion of six profound mysteries of laws, so there was nothing strange about it.
This way, when Tina comprehended laws, she would unconsciously fuse one profound mystery of law with others, greatly reducing the difficulty and bottlenecks of fusing profound mysteries of laws.
This was a change in "cognition."
Of course, during this process, Roy had to be extremely careful not to let others' cognitions overwrite Tina's.
Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
However, as long as the young Tina grew within Roy's cognitive framework and began fusing the profound mysteries of laws she comprehended, other people's cognitions would no longer be able to overwrite hers.
This wasn't a big problem for Roy.
When the young Tina had played enough, the six ropes of different colors and thicknesses merged back into the original short rod before Tina's astonished eyes.
Dismissing the Earthly Laws in his hand, Roy smiled at Tina and said, "See, Tina."
"Your future cultivation with me will be to find ways to fuse these six profound mysteries of laws into the Earthly Laws."
"Of course, before that, you need to comprehend these six profound mysteries of laws first."
"Now, I'll teach you meditation."
After all, he was the first person to establish a magic academy. Although he hadn't taught anyone for many years, Roy's teaching level had not declined.
On the contrary, due to the improvement in his strength and vision, Roy's guidance was even more targeted.
Tina, being in the Saint Realm, possessed at least Level Seven mage mental power.
Under Roy's guidance, Tina quickly mastered the method of meditation and succeeded in her first meditation.
"Now, what do you sense?"
"Hmm, so many good red light spots, and yellow light spots."
"Yes, the red ones are Fire Element, and the yellow ones are Earth Element."
"Don't worry about the Fire Element for now. When you come of age, I will send you to participate in your family's ancestral shrine baptism. That will be the best time for you to cultivate the Fire Element Laws."
Although Tina possessed the bloodline of a second-generation Divine Beast, she herself was not a Divine Beast. Participating in the ancestral shrine's baptism of the Four Divine Beast Family would increase the concentration of her Divine Beast bloodline, strengthen her Soul Power, and enhance the might of her innate divine abilities.
Naturally, her affinity for the Fire Element would also improve significantly.
"Now, first, you will interact with these yellow light spots to comprehend the most basic elemental laws."
"Mm, I understand, Teacher."
Under Roy's guidance, Tina began her comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of the Earthly Laws.
While Tina was comprehending the Earthly Laws, Roy stood in front of the Metal Life, gazing at the scenery passing below.
After all, they were still within the Azure Mansion's territory, so they hadn't encountered any foolish bandits over the years.
From time to time, Roy could feel the city walls of various cities emanating powerful pressure as the Metal Life flew past them.
Roy knew that these cities were built by the clansmen of the Four Divine Beast Family.
After becoming a Sovereign, Roy had once asked the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods why they expended so much effort using their Sovereign Power to temper the city walls and build cities for their clansmen, especially for these small cities.
Roy remembered that the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods had remained silent for a long time before slowly recounting their past experiences to Roy.
After the first Sovereign War concluded, the existence of the four great Rule Sovereigns provided a certain sense of security for both Sovereigns and Gods.
It was during this time that the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods married and settled down in the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range.
Later, Gaisleith and his siblings were born, grew up, married, and had children.
Watching their clan gradually grow stronger, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were incredibly happy.
Unfortunately, their happiness didn't last long. By the time the third generation of clansmen grew up, many were unwilling to remain confined to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range; they wanted to venture out.
Despite his reluctance, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods respected the wishes of their grandchildren and allowed them to leave the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range to forge their own paths.
But this marked the beginning of the tragedy.
The third-generation Four Divine Beast clansmen, while not exceptionally strong, carried a significant amount of Sovereign Power. They were hunted by the Gods of the Infernal Realm, who saw them as easy prey.
