Panlong's Transcendental Fire

At the summit, a simple yet magnificent palace comes into view. Constructed from a strange red rock, it radiates a soft yet intense light under the sun, resembling a sanctuary burning with eternal flames. In the plaza before the palace, an old man stands with his hands behind his back. He is upright and exudes a restrained yet powerful aura. Blazing fire elements, like loyal guardians, dance gently around him.

Upon seeing this, Potter's face immediately showed respect. He quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "Father, your son Potter has come to pay his respects with Lin Tian and Lauen."

Lin Tian and Laun then realized that the man before them was Potter's father, Harry, a lower-level fire god. Harry nodded slightly, his gaze gently falling on Potter, before looking up at Lin Tian and Laun. When he saw Lin Tian, ​​a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Get up."

Lin Tian and Lao En quickly bowed and said, "Lin Tian (Lao En) greets Great-Grandpa (Senior)."

Harry smiled and nodded: "No need for formalities, come with me to see the Ancestor." With that, he turned and led the three of them toward the palace.

Stepping into the palace, the interior was spacious and bright, the walls inlaid with various shimmering gems that illuminated the entire space in a kaleidoscope of colors. Following a long corridor, they arrived at a grand hall. At the far end of the hall, on a throne, sat a man clad in a magnificent red robe. The man was handsome, with deep yet gentle eyes that seemed to hold boundless wisdom; he was none other than Leo I.

Everyone bowed in unison: "Greetings, Ancestor (Senior Leo)!"

King Leo I gently raised his hand, his gaze sweeping over Lin Tian and Laun before settling on Lin Tian. He said, "Rise, both of you. I had Potter bring you here today to meet you, especially Lin Tian, ​​and to answer some of your questions about cultivation."

Lin Tian and Lao En stood up, their eyes filled with respect and anticipation.

King Leo I's gaze fell on Lin Tian, ​​and he said, "Lin Tian, ​​it is truly remarkable that you have entered the Saint Realm at such a young age. However, this path to the Saint Realm has only just begun. Cultivating profound mysteries is by no means easy; you must carefully comprehend them and must not be too hasty."

Lin Tian listened attentively, then asked tentatively, "Ancestor, I've heard that profound mysteries are subdivisions of laws, but how are these mysteries divided, and where should one begin?"

King Leo I smiled slightly and said, "The profound mysteries of fire can be roughly divided into six types. They are: the mystery of fire element: one can manipulate fire elements at will, and the flames move as one pleases; the mystery of fire body technique: flames can merge into the physical body, transforming into fire elemental life; the mystery of scorching heat: extreme high temperature, capable of melting everything; the mystery of explosion: flames contain terrifying explosive power, instantly unleashing powerful force; the mystery of fire space: one can form a fire space to imprison/burn enemies; and the mystery of soul attack: using flames to burn the soul. The most important thing in comprehending the mysteries is to learn from nature, to feel the natural phenomena of fire-related mysteries that exist in nature."

Lin Tian was quite surprised, and then probed further, "Then what about fusing the profound mysteries? Where should we begin?"

King Leo I's expression turned serious as he said, "The fusion of mystical arts combines the power of multiple mystical arts to unleash a force far exceeding that of a single mystical art. This requires not only a deep understanding of each mystical art but also finding the points of convergence between them. For example, by fusing the intense heat of the 'Scorching Mystic Arts' with the versatility of the 'Fire Element Mystic Arts,' the flames can both scorch and severely injure the enemy with their immense heat and flexibly track the target, leaving the opponent nowhere to hide."

Hearing this, Lin became even more confused about Leo I. Then, to test Leo I's strength, he asked further, "Ancestor, how does one attempt this profound fusion?"

King Leo I rose, walked to the center of the hall, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air. The flame constantly shifted its form in his hand, sometimes transforming into a ferocious fire lion, sometimes into a nimble fire serpent, but each transformation was accompanied by extreme heat. He said, "The fusion of mystical arts begins with establishing a connection between different mystical arts on a spiritual level. You must deeply analyze the essence of each mystical art, finding their commonalities and complementary points. Then, through continuous meditation and practice, guide the power of different mystical arts to merge within your body. This process is extremely difficult and may involve countless failures, but as long as you find the fusion point between two mystical arts, you will eventually make a breakthrough. Conversely, if you cannot find the fusion point, your fusion of mystical arts will never progress."

Harry added from the side, "The ancestor is absolutely right. Back when I was trying to fuse 'Burning Profound Mystery' and 'Fire Element Profound Mystery,' I failed hundreds of times, and was even seriously injured several times due to loss of control of the power. But I could never find the entry point, so I was never able to successfully fuse the profound mysteries."

King Leo I looked at Harry and nodded slightly in agreement, then said, "Moreover, the fusion of profound mysteries is not something that can be achieved overnight. After successfully fusing two profound mysteries, you can try to fuse more. Each additional fusion will result in a qualitative leap in strength. But remember, haste makes waste, and you must not be impatient for success."

After listening, Lin Tian and Lao En gained a clearer understanding of the profound mysteries and their fusion, and at the same time, they felt deeply that the road ahead would be difficult.

King Leo I seemed to see through their thoughts and smiled encouragingly, "Don't worry, as long as you persevere, you will surely achieve success on the path of profound fusion."

Lin Tian said gratefully, "Thank you for your teachings, Ancestor. I will do my best."

Lauen quickly added, "Your teachings have enlightened me, and I will definitely work hard to cultivate."

King Leo I returned to his throne and said, "Yes, the path of cultivation is long. Besides your own efforts, opportunities are also very important. In the process of comprehending the mysteries, you may encounter some unexpected opportunities. Be good at seizing them."

King Leo I's gaze fell on Lin Tian again, and he said, "Your talent is very high, even surpassing mine. I hope you can bring glory to the Leo family. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to come to Mount Vulcan to find me."

A warm feeling welled up in Lin Tian's heart, and he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor!"

Afterwards, King Leo I answered some of Lin Tian and Laun's questions about cultivation, as well as things to pay attention to during cultivation in the Holy Domain. He also answered Harry and Potter's questions about cultivation. All four of them gained a lot. Lin Tian constantly compared these situations with the content described in "Panlong" in his previous life, and combined them with his own situation to lay a solid foundation for his future cultivation.

King Leo I said, "Let's stop here for today. You've had a long journey, go and rest."

The group bowed again and, led by Harry, left the palace.
