Panlong's Transcendental Fire

Lin Tian's mind was in turmoil, but he outwardly tried to suppress his inner turmoil and asked with a puzzled look, "It's just changing the appearance, it should be easy to do, right? Aren't spells like rockets and fire dragons also made of different shapes of fire elements?"

Potter shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with seriousness and earnestness, and slowly said, "That's not the case, Lin Tian. The reason why magic can take on different shapes is that the elements in the world, under the influence of magical power and spiritual power, are bound and formed into fixed forms according to the principles contained in magical incantations. This involves extremely complex energy guidance and control, and is by no means a simple change of shape."

Lin Tian blinked, feigning confusion, and continued, "Did those who created magic spells comprehend the laws?"

Potter pondered for a moment, then patiently explained, "Not necessarily. Basic magic spells do indeed contain the power of various laws. However, many magic spells that appeared later were improvements on the original ones. Creating these spells does not necessarily require the magician to comprehend the laws; a certain level of research and understanding of the principles of magic is sufficient."

Lin Tian was genuinely confused this time and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this also an improvement on a basic magic spell? Why do you and Teacher Lauen think I've grasped the laws? How is this different from other creation magic spells?"

Potter looked at Lin Tian, ​​his eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction, and slowly said, "Lin Tian, ​​improving magic spells and creating new ones involves fundamentally combining and disassembling existing spells, reconstructing their structure at the initial stage of magic creation. However, your method of casting magic involves modifying it after it has already been cast. This is equivalent to directly changing the basic principles of magic spells, touching upon the essence of magic. Moreover, you are only a level three mage, yet you were able to modify level one and two spells to such a profound degree, even successfully modifying a level three spell. Although you couldn't fully unleash it due to limitations in your strength, this ability has already surpassed the basic principles of magic spells, and the spell you modified is one of the basic spells, Fireball. Therefore, based on this, we judge that you have comprehended the laws."

Lin Tian grew increasingly puzzled. According to the world's setting, a mage's comprehension of laws and a warrior's understanding of the power of heaven and earth were both hallmarks of achieving the Saint Realm. He couldn't help but ask, "Since Saint Realm experts achieve this through cultivating laws, and I've also comprehended laws, why haven't I become a Saint Realm expert yet?"

Potter gently patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said, "Indeed, theoretically speaking, comprehending the laws means becoming a Saint. However, the foundation lies in having enough energy. Without sufficient energy, you cannot truly utilize the power of the laws; you can only borrow them through the casting of magical spells. Moreover, due to the lack of energy, you haven't actually fully touched the core of the laws. In your current state, your understanding of the laws is less than one percent."

Lin Tian nodded silently, pondering to himself, "Indeed, according to the original description of Panlong, Saint-level experts who comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws have the opportunity to become gods, but it never describes an ordinary person suddenly becoming a god overnight. It seems that the prerequisite for cultivating the profound mysteries of the laws is indeed to possess Saint-level strength."

Looking at Lin Tian with great satisfaction, Lao En earnestly reminded him, "Lin Tian, ​​you must remember, in the subsequent cultivation process, you must not spend too much time on comprehending the laws. You have successfully passed the most difficult hurdle to becoming a Saint. Right now, the most important thing for you is to speed up your cultivation pace and accumulate spiritual power as soon as possible. With your extremely high affinity for fire, the time you spend refining the elements of heaven and earth is almost negligible, so your spiritual power level is almost equivalent to your magic level. As long as your spiritual power increases, your magic strength will naturally rise as well."

Potter quickly interrupted, "Hey, don't be impatient! Lin Tian, ​​with your current cultivation speed, you can already be considered the number one genius on the Mayan Continent. But in cultivation, haste makes waste. You must not injure your body because you are eager for quick success, otherwise it will affect your progress in becoming a Saint."

These words instantly interrupted Lin Tian, ​​who was immersed in the joy of almost stepping into the realm of sainthood and about to achieve immortality.

Then, Laun and Potter exchanged a serious glance and instructed, "Lin Tian, ​​you must never use your self-created mutated fireball spell in front of others. And when casting other spells, control their power carefully, trying to display the normal power expected of spells of this level. If someone accidentally discovers anything unusual, just say that Saint Magus Laun has modified the spell, which is why it's more powerful than regular spells. Understand?"

Lin Tian quickly nodded, indicating that he had remembered.

Afterwards, Teacher Lao En answered Lin Tian's question during meditation. As darkness fell, the two asked Lin Tian to return to the palace. Before leaving, they repeatedly instructed him not to tell anyone that he had comprehended the laws, and that his parents should not tell anyone either.

After Lin Tian left, Laun turned to Potter and exclaimed, "This child's talent far exceeds our expectations. Your family will soon have another Saint-level mage."

Potter's lips curled into a slight smile as he teased, "Lin Tian is now your disciple too. How does it feel to have such a talented apprentice who has the potential to become a Saint-level mage in the future?"

Laun laughed and scolded, "Stop teasing me. I'm just stating the facts; this kid's potential is truly amazing."

The two exchanged a smile, then Lauen's expression turned somewhat worried. He said, "I'm worried that with my abilities, I might not be able to teach him anything more advanced. How about we find a god-level expert from your family to teach Lin Tian? His talent is so outstanding; it shouldn't be wasted."

Potter frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The family's god-level experts are all in seclusion, comprehending the profound mysteries of the laws, and they rarely emerge. Moreover, in the eyes of god-level experts, only those who reach the Saint Realm can truly be called geniuses; those who haven't entered the Saint Realm are not considered geniuses. In my opinion, it's better to wait until Lin Tian reaches the Saint Realm before making any moves. With his talent, it shouldn't be long."

Raun looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with longing, and exclaimed, "God level! That's a realm I've always dreamed of."

Meanwhile, Lin Tian sat in the carriage returning to the palace, his mind filled with doubt. He pondered to himself, "Something's not right, very not right. How could a Saint-level expert from the material plane have such a deep understanding of the mysteries of the laws? Could it really be because of their god-level ancestor? But thinking about it carefully, that doesn't make sense either. The natives of the material plane, generally, are already geniuses among geniuses if they can cultivate to godhood. Logically, they shouldn't have such a profound understanding of the mysteries of the laws." The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more confused he became, his brows furrowing tightly as he fell into deep thought…
