Chapter 61 The Sword of Wind!
Although Karl knew that possessing the Martial God Token would truly qualify him to explore the secrets of the Yulan Continent, he had virtually no need for the token.
With his top-tier understanding of laws at the peak of the Saint Realm, and his Saint Realm-level physical body, Karl's strength, when unleashed at full power, even surpassed the limits of ordinary Saint Realms.
Ultimately, this Martial God Token is merely an identity, an identity that appears to outsiders as someone who has sided with the Martial God.
This identity might be a good thing for someone like Linley, whose strength hasn't yet reached the Saint Realm in human form, but for Karl, this token isn't enough to make a Saint Realm powerhouse feel wary.
After all, if anyone thinks they can offend him to death just because they have the Martial God's Token, Karl would personally kill them, even if it meant risking his life to escape the Yulan Continent, unless the Martial God was always by his side.
Either don't do it at all, or do it drastically.
Holding the token, Karl chose to leave, and in a few strides, he flew out from the bottom of the cave.
Karl finally breathed a sigh of relief after he had actually walked out of the cave.
Even through the stone door, Karl still felt immense pressure.
This is not just a difference in strength, but also a difference that seems to exist on a different level of life.
After leaving the Martial God Gate, Karl quickly flew towards the Chaos Realm. During the flight, Karl still had time to think.
"The God of War summoned me, but it seems he only wants to give me a token. He doesn't seem to have any intention of revealing the secrets of the Yulan Continent." Karl thought to himself, finding it somewhat amusing.
Do you really think I'd be grateful for a useless Martial God Token?
If Karl had just achieved the Saint Realm and obtained the Martial God Token, he would have accepted the favor. Although possessing the Martial God Token would not grant him the protection of the Martial God, some Saint Realm experts would still give the Martial God some face. As long as one knew how to behave, everyone could get along peacefully.
This would give him some time to grow, and Karl, having received this benefit, would naturally appreciate the favor. However, Karl no longer needs this token.
"They called me over, trying to win me over, but they didn't offer any real benefits." Karl was clearly somewhat dissatisfied, but overall he could accept it.
Since the God of War didn't mention the Tomb of the Gods, he decided to pretend he didn't know anything about it.
According to his recollection, the Graveyard of the Gods opens once every thousand years. He didn't know the exact opening time in the past, but Karl knew it ten thousand years into the Yulan Calendar.
"There are at least seven or eight hundred years left, which is more than enough time for me."
Seven or eight hundred years is just a relatively long cultivation period for others, but for Karl, it is enough time to leap from the peak of the Saint Realm to the limit of the Saint Realm, and even have the opportunity to complete profound comprehension.
Now, relying on the system's automatic grinding, Karl can only gain two progress points per day. Apart from the cultivation bonus provided by the system itself, he is not affected by external factors. However, Karl's understanding of the laws in that miniature plane is a hundred times greater than that in the outside world.
With a progress of about 20 points per day at the moment.
Karl's path to godhood isn't actually that difficult; once he reaches the limits of the Saintly Realm, he can easily skip the final step by using the system's auto-play feature.
"Seven or eight hundred years. I won't need that long. Maybe thirty or forty years should be enough."
After all, Karl wasn't like Linley, who cultivated both the Earth Law and the Wind Law simultaneously during his prime cultivation period.
Even when cultivating the Law of Wind, Linley also cultivated various different profound mysteries, such as the mysteries of speed and slowness.
Later on, Linley even chose to fuse the mysteries of speed and slowness. Although this would make Linley stronger than other strong individuals of the same level, even enough to easily kill them, it would be detrimental to his ascension to godhood.
Ultimately, the Panlong Universe is a world where hierarchy reigns supreme.
A Saint-level expert is always stronger than a Level 9 expert. And a God-level expert is always stronger than a Saint-level expert.
The difference between different levels is enormous.
In this situation, the best way to improve one's strength is to master a certain profound mystery as soon as possible. As long as one can become a god, even the weakest lower-level god, one will surpass all the powerful beings in the Holy Domain.
To bridge this gap, one needs to reach the same level.
For example, during the Holy Domain era, if someone was the first to comprehend a low-level profound mystery, then their strength would surpass that of someone in the Holy Domain who had not comprehended any profound mystery. As for transforming into a Dragonblood Warrior, fundamentally speaking, all four ultimate warriors were born from the essence and blood of a main god.
Otherwise, why would other powerful figures on the Yulan Continent differentiate their strength based on the level of their profound understanding?
After returning to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, Karl did not tell William and the others about his time at the Martial God Sect. He only instructed them to cultivate as much as possible before returning to the micro-plane to go into seclusion.
This seclusion was the longest in Karl's life, and also the one that resulted in the greatest improvement in his strength.
In the first year, Karl summarized his past understanding of the element of wind. He had only grasped the concept, but his methods of applying it were somewhat lacking.
Having witnessed Fane's methods, Karl gained some direction for improving his strength.
In the third year, Karl truly and completely mastered the wind element he had comprehended. At least in competitions at the same level, even relying solely on profound power, Karl was already considered to be at the top level among low-level profound arts.
It wasn't until the fifth year that Karl truly began to comprehend the element of wind. Whenever his progress in mastering the profound mysteries reached a certain level, Karl would choose to stop and summarize his profound knowledge in order to create his own unique ultimate move.
In the twenty-seventh year, Karl created his own ultimate move.
"The Sword of Wind!"
This is a move that doesn't require battle qi; it relies entirely on one's own understanding of the profound mysteries. It can instantly draw upon the profound power of the wind element in the world, forming more than 100,000 attacks.
These attacks were refined by Karl time and again, eventually forming a cyan short sword.
Karl had also tried the attack power of this ultimate technique, and it was extremely terrifying.
At the Saint-level, as long as it doesn't involve the power of the God-level, even a weapon of a Saint-level expert can be easily destroyed by Karl with just this move.
In particular, by imbuing his quasi-divine weapon, Wind Howl, with the power of the Wind Sword, Karl's attacks were enough to destroy those Saint-level divine weapons that had been enhanced with black stones.
