Chapter 30 Increased Doubt
Chapter 30 Increased Doubt
Within the treasure trove of knowledge that was the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Tian felt as if he had struck gold, finding numerous cultivation manuals from Saint Realm and Fire-type deities. These manuals were densely filled with their insights into profound mysteries, imaginative ideas, and ingenious developments of unique cultivation techniques. Since Inleo I was a mid-level Fire-type god, most of the content revolved around the laws of fire and the profound cultivation methods. For Lin Tian, this place was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to broaden his horizons and enhance his understanding.
Lin Tian eagerly flipped through the notebooks, combining them with the descriptions of fire in the original Panlong novel, gaining a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries of the fire element. The unique insights and novel ideas of those predecessors were like guiding lights, illuminating his path through the fog of cultivation and giving him immense inspiration.
One of the notebooks mentioned using the profound mysteries of Fire Body Technique to transform one's entire being into a fire elemental form, thereby increasing one's speed. This idea instantly stirred up a storm in Lin Tian's mind. He couldn't help but think that this was similar to some principles of Terrain Technique.
All of these speed increases are achieved by integrating into the elements. Lin Tian, combining this with the physics laws he learned in his previous life, quickly understood the reason: integrating into the elements greatly reduces external resistance. Just like an object traveling through the air, the smoother the surface, the less resistance it experiences, and naturally, the faster it goes. He couldn't help but imagine himself transforming into a ball of flame, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, his heart filled with longing for this wondrous ability.
Then, the description in another book made Lin Tian chuckle. The book introduced a method to increase speed using the mysteries of fire explosions, which involved creating a fire eruption behind oneself and using the powerful thrust to accelerate forward.
Lin Tian was genuinely surprised to see this. In this fantastical world of Panlong, he actually witnessed such a familiar method of acceleration. Wasn't this the very principle behind airplanes in his previous life? Utilizing the powerful thrust generated by flames to achieve rapid flight. He seemed to see a Saint-level expert, with raging flames erupting behind him, soaring into the sky like a rocket at an astonishing speed.
When Lin Tian opened a notebook written by a fire-elemental deity who had attained godhood within his body, he was deeply shocked by its contents. This deity explained in detail the profound application of the Fire Body Technique, and also mentioned that through his observations of those who had attained godhood within their bodies and those who had attained it outside their bodies, he discovered that for those who had attained godhood within their bodies, using the Fire Body Technique to enhance their physical strength was far more effective than for those who had attained it outside their bodies.
Under the same conditions, the physical strength of a god who achieves godhood internally far surpasses that of a god who achieves godhood externally. Furthermore, in terms of physical attack, a person with higher physical strength can unleash far greater physical attack power under the same circumstances. This god even proposed a hypothesis: the higher the strength of the divine body, the higher the physical attack power. If one focuses on improving the strength of the divine body, could one, to some extent, increase their power to compensate for insufficient understanding of the profound mysteries of the laws?
Lin Tian, who had read the original Panlong novel, naturally knew that Heimus was the most obvious example. His physical strength was naturally extremely high, and even without fusing with any profound laws, his strength surpassed that of a seven-star demon and approached the level of an Asura. Therefore, he was taken in as a chief god's messenger by the Earth Sovereign as soon as he was born. This is an example of how a high level of divine body strength can effectively compensate for insufficient comprehension of profound laws.
Upon seeing these contents, Lin Tian was filled with doubts. Leo I was merely a mid-level fire god, and it seemed he had never ventured into the seven divine planes or the four supreme planes. So where did he obtain these precious books from?
Moreover, this deity claimed to have conducted extensive observations, and observation obviously implies research. Since it is research, it must require a sufficient sample. The limited number of deities on the Mayan continent is obviously insufficient to meet the research needs. Therefore, the owner of this notebook may not have completed these studies on the Mayan continent.
As described in the original novel of Panlong, the knowledge related to the development and utilization of the profound laws is priceless even in Hell, yet it can be easily found here.
Filled with doubt, Lin Tian continued to peruse the other manuscripts. He discovered many more manuals related to profound cultivation. The manuals from the Holy Realm offered relatively superficial descriptions of the mysteries, while the cultivation manuals written by deities demonstrated extremely profound research into the mysteries of the laws—a depth beyond the comprehension of lower-ranking gods. Even more strangely, the Holy Realm manuals were usually signed, while the deities' manuals were unsigned, with any mention of locations or names obscured.
As Lin Tian delved deeper into the text, he felt increasingly uneasy. Many books even touched upon the mysteries of fusion. For example, one notebook explored the fusion of the mysteries of fire element and fire body techniques, mentioning that by fusing these two techniques, one could transform into a flame form, thus becoming immune to some physical attacks. Upon reading this, Lin Tian instantly recalled the Logia-type Devil Fruit users from the manga *One Piece* he had read in his previous life; the two were strikingly similar. This strange resemblance gave him a more direct understanding of the wonders of fusion.
Another book describes in detail the fusion effect of the mysteries of the Fire Space and the Mysteries of Scorching Heat: through this fusion, the high temperature of the Mysteries of Scorching Heat can be enhanced to a certain extent within the Fire Space.
Specifically, within a specific space, the scorching heat can not only directly burn enemies, but also produce a distillation-like effect on enemies at the edge. As the temperature rises, the generated high-temperature steam will cause additional damage to enemies, subjecting them to the intense heat without their knowledge.
This complex and exquisite fusion of mysteries clearly transcends the scope of intermediate gods, as it involves the fusion of three or four mysteries. Leo I is merely an intermediate god, so why would such profound content appear in his work?
Lin Tian was utterly perplexed, pondering repeatedly: How exactly did Leo I acquire this knowledge? Could it be that Leo I was merely presenting himself as an avatar of a mid-level god, his true strength far surpassing that of a mid-level god? But if that were the case, why would he conceal his true power?
Lin Tian racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. But then he thought that as a member of the Leo family, the knowledge in these cultivation manuals would be of great inspiration to his cultivation. For now, it was more important to focus on improving his understanding of the mysteries of the fire element.
So, he temporarily put these questions aside and continued to immerse himself in the world of the notes, matching the contents of the book with his memories of the original work, striving to deepen his understanding and perception of the profound mysteries of the fire element. As he continued to advance on the path of cultivation, the descriptions in each book were like a beacon in his heart, illuminating Lin Tian's path to mastering the profound mysteries of the fire element.
