Panlong's Transcendental Fire

Chapter 22 The Holy Land Attacks

Lin Tian slowly stepped out of the cultivation room, an invisible power emanating from his body as he quietly released his senses. In an instant, the flow of energy within a hundred miles of heaven and earth, like a clear painting, was fully reflected in his perception. At this moment, his five senses seemed to be amplified a hundredfold by a magical spell. The rustling of leaves in the breeze, the chirping of insects in the grass, the faint pulse deep within the earth, and even the subtle movement of air currents—nothing could escape his notice. His soul perception, like a nimble bird, spread out of his body, easily penetrating layers of rocks and misty clouds; everything within a hundred miles of heaven and earth was under his control.

At the same time, boundless power of heaven and earth flowed like a joyful stream, surrounding his entire body and naturally merging into it, without him even needing to consciously absorb it. From now on, as a Saint-level powerhouse, he no longer needed to cultivate deliberately as before; the energy of heaven and earth would automatically gather around him, becoming the source of his power.

Lin Tian moved his feet lightly, without relying on any magical power or activating his battle qi for propulsion. His body was lifted into the air naturally by invisible hands, hovering steadily in mid-air. Having entered the Saintly Realm, flying with his physical body was now instinctive for him. He needed neither wings like a bird nor complex spells; his extraordinary physique granted him the ability to soar through the heavens.

Moreover, the shackles of mortal lifespan shattered the moment he stepped into the Saint Realm. In the past, even a ninth-level expert who reached their peak had a lifespan of no more than five hundred years; the relentless passage of time would eventually erode all glory and power. But once one achieved the Saint Realm, they could break free from the constraints of time and live forever. As long as they did not suffer a fatal attack, they could live eternally in the world, observing the flow of time and the rise and fall of dynasties from a transcendent perspective.

Lin Tian clearly sensed the earth-shattering changes within himself, his mind becoming clear, as if he had gained a deeper understanding of the laws of this world.

Just then, Lin Tian suddenly sensed more than a dozen figures flying towards him like shooting stars. He instinctively summoned a magical shield, protecting himself within it, while simultaneously gripping his magic staff tightly, ready to unleash a Saint-level spell at any moment. However, when he carefully sensed that his grandfather and Teacher Lauen were among them, and recognized two of the closest figures as the Saint-level mage and warrior he had previously encountered deep within the palace, he paused slightly, then slowly withdrew his staff and shield. Remembering his grandfather and Teacher Lauen's usual earnest teachings, he understood that he should remain calm, so he returned to the ground and quietly awaited their arrival.

Before long, the group arrived. The holy-level mage guarding the palace frowned slightly, exclaimed in surprise, and asked, "Third Prince, were there any strangers nearby just now? Why were there such strange energy fluctuations?"

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat, but he said without changing his expression, "There were no strangers. It was just that after Teacher Lao En's magical beast sent me back, it was cultivating in the quiet room. It was probably the noise it made when it broke through just now."

Seeing the disbelieving expressions on their faces, Lin Tian pondered to himself, subtly sensing their mental strength. He was surprised to find that they seemed weaker than him; he could easily detect the weaknesses in their mental power. Making a decision instantly, he silently used his mental power towards the direction of Teacher Lao En, conveying the explanation he had given to others and pleading for his help in covering for him.

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Lao En was utterly astonished, his heart filled with shock. However, glancing out of the corner of his eye at some individuals in the crowd whose strength surpassed his own, he dared not respond rashly and instead silently quickened his pace. Once he arrived, before anyone else could speak, he directly addressed Lin Tian, ​​saying, "Third Prince, has the level nine magical beast I gave you for protection advanced to the Saint Realm? I also sensed an unusual fluctuation just now."

Lin Tian was overjoyed and quickly replied, "That should be true, Professor Lauen. I was startled just now too." Potter, who was standing to the side, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, his lips moved slightly, but he ultimately did not speak.

Then, with a serious expression, Laun looked at everyone and said, "I sensed that the energy fluctuations during my magical beast's breakthrough were somewhat unstable, which might cause some unexpected problems. Potter and I can stay here. You've all gone through a lot, so you must have important matters to attend to."

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures from the Holy Domain knew that the relationship between Laun and Potter was extraordinary, and that Laun was always steady. Since he said so, they all nodded and left.

Lin Tian led the two into the room. Before they could ask any questions, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Grandpa, Teacher Lao En, I have advanced to the Saint Realm." As he spoke, he moved his mind and lightly floated into the air, exuding a unique and powerful aura.

Upon seeing this, the two were filled with surprise. Lauen couldn't help but say, "Lin Tian, ​​with your extraordinary talent, advancing to the Saint Realm is a cause for great joy. Why did you hide it just now?"

Lin Tian slowly landed and said seriously, "I am still young. I am worried that advancing to the Saint Realm so quickly will cause unnecessary trouble and attract covetousness, so I have resorted to this tactic."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep smile in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Potter relaxed and began to explain the current situation on the continent: "Lin Tian, ​​our ancestor Leo I rose to power thousands of years ago and has now reached the mid-level god realm, with unfathomable strength. Among the many god-level powerhouses on the continent, the only two mid-level gods are the founding emperors of other empires and Leo I, who was a long-time friend of Leo I. Their strength is also inferior to Leo I. Moreover, the Leo family has far more god-level powerhouses than any other empire on the continent. Therefore, as long as you don't leave the Leo Empire, you will be safe with the empire's protection. Don't worry about these things; the family is your strong backing."

Lin Tian listened attentively, gaining a clearer understanding of the situation on the mainland. He relaxed and said, "Grandpa, Professor Lauen, why haven't I seen these situations in the 'General History of the Empire'?"

Potter replied, "These are all matters between Ancestor Leo and the other two mid-level god seniors, which we don't know. Just remember that with your Holy Domain strength, you don't need to worry about other dangers on the continent now. Just continue to cultivate diligently."

Lin Tian thought to himself: Could it be because of the power of faith? Seriously, what era is this? Could it be the era before the Great War of Faith among the Main Gods?
