Chapter 23, A Glimpse of Beauty!
"The third treasure of Chaos City, and the most important one, is the Chaos Stele, located in this City Lord's Mansion!" The black-robed envoy looked at the more than one thousand powerful figures before him and said, "There are fifty-two Chaos Steles in total, and they are supreme sacred steles that lead directly to the pinnacle of the Great Dao. If any one of you can comprehend any one of the Chaos Steles, you can become a ruler and easily establish a cosmic kingdom! As newcomers to Chaos City for the first time, you can first observe the rubbings of the Chaos Steles, choose the one that best suits you, and then you will have a free seven-day period for comprehension."
"Seven days! That's so short?"
"Only seven days?"
Is the first time free only?
"Do I need to select the Chaos Stele through imprinting first? Or can I just view the Chaos Stele directly?"
Seven days is far too short a time for these powerful beings who are at least Realm Lords!
"You are newcomers. Since this is your first time here, you need to choose a Chaos Stele that suits you. I will record your choices and send them to Lord Kandri," the black-robed envoy said. "As for the seven days, anyone who comes to Chaos City to comprehend the Chaos Stele, even a king, will only have seven days at a time. Similarly, only the first time is free. As for obtaining it a second or third time, that depends on your strength."
"You will naturally know the details of these matters after you have finished comprehending the first Chaos Stele."
As they spoke, the black-robed envoy led everyone to a dreamlike corridor, where there was a room with a huge area, and on the four walls, there were huge images, each ten meters long and wide, suspended in the air.
With just a quick glance, Ye Muxuan knew that there were exactly fifty-two sets here.
"These are the imprints of the fifty-two Chaos Steles. Although they cannot perfectly interpret the mysterious aura of the Chaos Steles, they can still allow you to feel some of what they convey." The black-robed envoy stood at the door, looking at the more than one thousand people in front of him. "Now, each of you has half an hour to choose which Chaos Stele you wish to study."
Ye Muxuan and more than a thousand others entered the room. Although there were many people, the room did not feel crowded at all; on the contrary, it felt quite spacious.
Ye Muxuan looked at the huge image floating in front of him, which was ten images printed from top to bottom. His gaze fell on the curve with light and shadow at the bottom. Suddenly, a blade of light rushed towards him, severing his soul!
Ye Muxuan's soul suddenly trembled!
"I'll be there in half a minute." Jiu Feng's voice echoed in my mind.
Ye Muxuan's gaze fell on the lower right corner, "The Cosmic Chaos Stele"!
Ye Muxuan's gaze sharpened. The Cosmic Chaos Stele—this was the Chaos Stele left behind by the Chaos City Lord who resided in Chaos City! Among the fifty-two Chaos Steles, it ranked second in terms of sheer profundity! However, in terms of the difficulty of comprehending it, it could be called number one!
The universe encompasses the four directions, and time itself is the past and present.
Perhaps it was related to the sword light that cleaved through his consciousness back then, which greatly enhanced his understanding of the Ten Great Laws, but Ye Muxuan felt that this Cosmic Chaos Stele was quite suitable for him. At least, this Chaos Stele, which expounded the laws of spacetime, had him quite captivated!
Ye Muxuan secretly memorized this feeling, then turned his gaze to a rubbing of a Chaos Stele next to him.
This is a towering ancient tree, its leaves withered and yellow, falling one after another. With just a sweep of the leaves, Ye Muxuan could sense that there were definitely more than ten thousand fallen leaves.
One piece, ten pieces, one hundred pieces, one thousand pieces...
"I'll be there in half a minute."
From one hundred fallen leaves to one hundred and one fallen leaves... the formation becomes even more complex and mysterious!
"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele" - A terrifyingly heaven-defying evolutionary flow!
He only had half an hour, and could spend no more than half a minute on each picture. Every expert had their own plan, so they basically spent half a minute on each picture. In fact, if they couldn't get into the picture within ten seconds, they would choose to look at another one.
After all, these powerful individuals have at least received recognition from a fundamental law, and many have already begun creating their own secret techniques. Compared to those minor beings at the star-level or universe-level, they understand their own path much better. Even if this imprint can only transmit a faint, profound aura, if one cannot become immersed in it within ten seconds, it means it is not suitable for them.
Each picture depicts a powerful figure. Before each picture stand numerous powerful individuals, their eyes gleaming with eager anticipation. If it weren't for the fact that each powerful individual possessed their own intelligent supercomputer or a smart life-sustaining reminder, they would likely have become engrossed in a particular picture within half an hour.
"We'll be there in half an hour!" The black-robed envoy stood at the door, reminding everyone. "Now tell me your choices, and I'll record them all."
"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'!"
"I choose the Giant Axe Chaos Monument!"
"I choose the giant axe!"
"I'll choose the giant axe too!"
"I choose 'Dragon's Journey Through Chaos'!"
"I choose *The Chaos Monument of Wind and Shadow*!"
Ye Muxuan looked at Li Zheng, the "Knife Maniac" beside him, who had chosen the "Wind Shadow Chaos Stele".
"My teacher told me that I am more suited to this Chaos Stele. So this is the one I looked at first. I feel it is very good. Although I can also comprehend the others, I still feel that this one is the best." Seeing Ye Muxuan's gaze looking over, Li Zheng also spoke up to explain.
Ye Muxuan nodded slightly. Li Zheng had long been recognized by the Origin Law of Wind, and the battle blade he used was also the Extreme Shadow Blade.
As for him...
In fact, he felt quite good about more than twenty of the fifty-two Chaos Steles. After all, he had gained the recognition of the Wind Origin Law, and he could comprehend the four Chaos Steles that originated from the Wind Origin Law, including the "Wind Shadow Chaos Stele." Then there were ten Chaos Steles that followed higher laws like the Time Law, which he could also comprehend. He even felt he could comprehend eight Chaos Steles that followed the Space Law, such as the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele."
After all, after that experience, his speed of comprehending the laws of space was no less than that of ordinary realm lord geniuses, and even greater.
"And you?" The black-robed envoy walked up to Ye Muxuan, looked up and asked him.
"I choose... the 'Stele of Chaos'." Ye Muxuan looked at the black-robed envoy and spoke seriously.
The black-robed messenger nodded, made a note of it, and then went to ask the others.
Even if his talent is truly exceptional, without a solid foundation, he must proceed with extreme caution at every step. This Chaos City is not lacking in geniuses, nor in powerful individuals! Even though he now feels his understanding of the laws of time and space has greatly improved, he doesn't believe he's qualified to choose the "Cosmic Chaos Stele" and rashly engage in simultaneous cultivation of time and space.
He didn't believe his current talent surpassed that of the Chaos City Lord's disciples, whose talents emerged only once every tens or hundreds of millions of epochs. And even among such geniuses, not every one could simultaneously comprehend the two great laws of spacetime.
