RNP Chapter 24, Comprehension
Chapter 24, Comprehension
If you can't comprehend them all at once, why not choose the one that suits you best? The "Current Chaos Stele" can meet my requirements.
Entering the Dao through the fundamental law of time is undoubtedly the most suitable path for him at this moment. He is only a thin veil away from fully comprehending the fundamental law of wind, and achieving immortality through it is not far off. At this juncture, choosing a Chaos Stele like the "Wind Shadow Chaos Stele"—a stele that uses the law of wind to enter the Dao—would be irresponsible towards his future. He has confidence in himself; if he cannot even achieve immortality by comprehending the law of wind, then anything beyond that is nothing but a mirage.
Moreover, after achieving immortality, he believed he would have enough time to comprehend the laws of time and space.
"Alright, I have recorded all your choices. Now follow me." The black-robed envoy walked around the room, speaking to the people, before heading deeper into the corridor, with over a thousand people following him.
A moment later, they arrived at a very spacious training ground in the city lord's mansion, which was hundreds of kilometers long and wide. However, this distance was easily visible to Ye Muxuan and his group.
In the spacious training ground, the black-robed envoy stood before the 1,501 powerful individuals and announced, "The fifty-two Chaos Steles correspond to fifty-two meditation chambers. Currently, seventeen of these chambers are occupied, and the remaining thirty-five are empty. Those whose names I have called can go and meditate on the Chaos Stele; those who haven't called will have to wait for the person in the chamber to leave before entering. During the meditation period on the Chaos Stele, no one is allowed to disturb you!"
"Now, I will announce these thirty-five Chaos Steles." The black-robed envoy glanced around and slowly spoke, "The Dragon's Journey Chaos Stele, the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele, the Cosmic Chaos Stele, the Yanshan Chaos Stele, the Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele, the Giant Axe Chaos Stele..."
As the names of the Chaos Monuments were announced one by one, the crowd stirred slightly, but wisely remained silent.
"...The Shadow Chaos Stele, the Soaring Chaos Stele." After announcing the names of the thirty-five Chaos Steles, the black-robed envoy looked at the more than one thousand powerful figures and continued, "Those who have chosen these thirty-five Chaos Steles, go directly to the leftmost entrance ahead. You will be assigned to the corresponding secret chambers for comprehension. Go in now."
Of the 1,501 people present, more than 1,000 transformed into streaks of light and left, heading directly to the far left. About 400 people remained.
"...You can rest first, or you can wait on the rooftop. I will notify you when the time comes, but the longest you can wait is two days..."
Behind him, he could vaguely hear the words of the black-robed messenger, but Ye Muxuan paid no attention to them. His gaze fell upon the bronze gate, which was about 160 meters wide and 120 meters high, and the kind-faced, three-eyed old man standing in front of each bronze gate.
Fifty-two bronze chambers are lined up in a row, and the old man in front of the bronze door of each chamber is exactly the same!
Ye Muxuan naturally knew who this kind-faced old man was: Kandri, the guardian of Chaos City!
A super strongman who has reached the realm of cosmic overlord for countless years, many cosmic rulers are his juniors.
"You must be the newcomers from this batch of extraterritorial battlefields and auctions." In front of the massive bronze gate, a kind-faced, three-eyed old man looked at the vast crowd of over a thousand people before him and spoke slowly.
"Yes, senpai!"
"Greetings, senior!"
"..." A group of newcomers greeted them one after another, not daring to be negligent.
"Each of you will enter the Chaos Stele Chamber of your choice. After seven days of meditation, go to the virtual universe, where you will receive new emails." After saying this, the three-eyed old man closed all three eyes and ignored them.
As the bronze gate opened, thousands of powerful figures silently bowed before entering the secret chambers corresponding to their chosen Chaos Steles. With the closing of the bronze gate, they were cut off from the outside world's view.
More than ten powerful individuals chose the "Surprising Chaos Stele" along with Ye Muxuan, seven of whom came from the outer battlefield. These were all World Lord War Generals recognized by the Origin Law of Wind.
Looking towards the source, a colossal stone tablet, hundreds of meters wide and over a hundred meters high, stood deep within the secret chamber shrouded in chaotic energy. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the tablet bore nine images from top to bottom, and along the edges of these images were two universally understood characters: 惊鸿 (Jinghong).
Ye Muxuan had already seen the entire rubbing of the Chaos Stele, so he knew very well what was in these nine pictures. However, the mysterious aura conveyed by the original Chaos Stele was completely different from that of the rubbings outside!
The first picture shows nine flowing traces of light and shadow.
The second picture shows thirty-six flowing traces of light and shadow.
The third picture shows 108 graceful traces of light and shadow.
The fourth image is a star chart, showing a planet suspended in the air, surrounded by four satellites.
The fifth image is a star chart, featuring a burning star accompanied by twelve planets, and along the orbits of those planets are satellites of varying numbers.
The sixth image is a vast galaxy composed of countless satellites, planets, and stars; the sheer number of satellites, planets, and stars is impossible to count.
The seventh picture is a monster that looks like it's made up of countless engraved marks, seemingly with huge wings, or perhaps it's just an illusion.
The eighth picture is a monster with two heads entwined together, vaguely resembling the monster in the seventh picture, yet it seems not to be.
The ninth picture shows a dense multitude of monsters entangled together, making it impossible to count exactly how many there are.
After a cursory glance, Ye Muxuan could roughly understand that the first three pictures illustrated the 108 basic units of the fundamental laws of time, the middle three pictures illustrated the more profound combination rules within the pure fundamental laws of time, and of the last three pictures, he could only discern a very vague trace of the laws of time in the seventh picture, while he could not discern anything at all in the remaining two pictures.
It looks just like a child's scribbles!
However, anything placed here is absolutely infallible and is undoubtedly a treasure that leads directly to the Great Dao.
Discarding all distracting thoughts, Ye Muxuan focused all his attention on the nine marks on the first picture.
His mental focus was entirely on this first trace, which then evolved into endless realms of meaning within Ye Muxuan's sea of consciousness. Faintly, streaks of sword light crisscrossed and bloomed in the endless void.
Ye Muxuan suddenly opened his eyes!
"Ten minutes?" He turned his gaze back to the first picture, then focused his attention on the second mark.
