21. Domain 4
Qiao Lin was very happy about the improvement in his strength, but he was even more looking forward to making further progress in his understanding.
The former enhances strength, while the latter enhances talent.
Clearly, improving talent is more important than improving strength.
As the fiery domain spread, Jolin used it to begin touching the cosmos, attempting to observe and perceive the universe more closely.
However, this observation and understanding does not rely on the eyes, but on consciousness.
The higher one's strength level, the easier it is to comprehend the laws. It is easier for a realm lord than an immortal, simply because a realm lord is in a special state. In terms of comprehension ability, a realm lord is indeed far inferior to an immortal.
The key to all of this lies in consciousness!
The higher one's spiritual level, the stronger one's consciousness, and the greater one's ability to observe and study the universe.
Qiao Lin's consciousness has reached the cosmic level, and with the help of his domain, his ability to observe and study the laws governing the universe is much stronger than that of the star level.
Before long, Qiao Lin easily felt the surrounding environment become scorching hot.
fire!
fire!
It's still hot!
It seemed that after Qiao Lin released his consciousness, the universe completely turned into a sea of fire, and he was completely surrounded by flames, with flames filling the entire universe.
Qiao Lin was immersed in his consciousness, but when he sensed countless flames around him, his domain began to change drastically. The range of the flame domain began to expand little by little, quickly rising from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters. At the same time, the number of flames in Qiao Lin's flame domain increased dramatically, and the temperature of the flames continued to rise. Each flame even emitted a "boom" sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Lin felt the surrounding flames stabilize and the surrounding universe calm down before he opened his eyes.
The universe is easier to perceive when it is fluctuating; in a calm universe, it is difficult to observe any laws governing its operation.
Just now, Qiao Lin used his affinity for fire to perceive a part of the universe's operation by sensing the fire, which allowed him to gain some insights.
When Qiao Lin opened his eyes, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
"My domain has become so powerful!" Countless flame flowers were reflected in Qiao Lin's pupils, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, too many to count. Compared to the hundred or so flames at the first level of his domain, the flames now had increased by more than a hundred times.
His breathing became increasingly rapid as Qiao Lin greedily inhaled the intense heat of the flames, a look of ecstasy appearing on his face.
"My domain has reached the fourth level, almost the fifth! My domain has directly increased by a full three levels!" After carefully sensing it and comparing it with the information given by his teacher, Qiao Lin could easily determine the current level of his domain.
The core disciples of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land can comprehend the domain and become true Eternal Star-level geniuses in as little as twenty or thirty years, with a timeframe ranging from a hundred to twenty or thirty years.
Among the 50,000 star-level geniuses, almost all of them possess a domain, but less than one percent of them can reach the fourth level or above in their domain!
The already rigorously selected geniuses each possess a domain, but advancing to each level of their domain is incredibly difficult, and each level can bring countless geniuses to a standstill.
The fourth level of the Domain is nearly eight times stronger than the first level. In addition, with the increase in strength brought by the comprehension of the Dao, Qiao Lin's strength has increased by nearly twenty times since returning from the Desolate Era!
"In just six days, my strength increased twentyfold!"
Previously, Jolin had greatly disappointed Dorenshugg, as he could only barely defeat a first-level domain opponent at the fifth level of the Hengxing realm. Now, however, he can directly defeat a first-level domain opponent at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, demonstrating his strength even in the virtual universe.
"What delights me most is that I can feel my talent and my closer connection to fire. From now on, my domain will improve much faster, at least ten times faster than before. And comprehending the laws of fire will be several times easier!"
Qiao Lin wasn't sure if this number was high or not, but it represented hope and the direction he was heading.
"This is my path! Hahaha, my path to becoming a strongman!" Qiao Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Improving his talent and finding the right path forward made Qiao Lin even happier than rapidly increasing his strength.
Qiao Lin lay peacefully in the bathtub, laughing continuously, feeling completely relaxed and without any pressure.
For Qiao Lin, the dilemma of having a visible answer is no longer a dilemma.
……
As Jolin was relaxing, eight domain lords were standing inside Dorenshugg's palace.
These domain lords varied in strength, but Dorenshugg had a clear understanding of their positions.
From left to right, their flame domain levels range from the second to the ninth level.
"My disciple has comprehended the same fire domain as you, with an explosive attribute. That's why I summoned you here to help him comprehend the domain!"
Dorenshuger said calmly,
"I know what you're thinking, that one Domain Lord at the ninth level is enough. However, only when all eight of you come together and compare yourselves can my disciple understand the differences between domains. Only then can his understanding of domains be deepened and his insights more profound!"
The eight domain lords knelt in unison: "We will obey your command, Your Excellency. We will certainly help Young Master comprehend his domain and help him reach the ninth level as soon as possible!"
"Yes, I won't shortchange you on your reward. It will be enough to double your wealth, and the price is only a few thousand years of your lifespan. Come with me to see my disciple later!" Dorenshage hadn't been looking for Qiao Lin these past few days because he was preparing resources for Qiao Lin's cultivation.
These domain lords, along with suitable Force weapons and the most suitable secret techniques for Jolin that Doronshugg could buy within his capabilities—all of this cost Doronshugg more than half of his wealth, just to prepare the best external conditions for Jolin.
Now that all eight domain lords have arrived, Qiao Lin's training program can truly begin.
Seeing Doronshugg's appearance, the eight domain lords were filled with envy. How wonderful it would be if they could have such a teacher.
Their chances of becoming realm lords could increase by at least several hundred times, right?
"Come with me to my disciple's residence. From now on, you will live near him. If he needs anything, you must provide assistance at any time!"
"Yes!" The eight domain lords nodded in unison and followed Dorenshugg.
As they approached the palace where Jolin lived, Dorenshugg released a slight aura. As the aura wafted out, Jolin, who was lying in the bath, was suddenly awakened.
"The teacher is here!" Jolin didn't hesitate and quickly opened the door to greet Dorenshugg.
"Disciple greets Master!"
"Haha, don't be shy, come on, let's see what good stuff I brought you..."
