The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

"52 Chaos Steles," the black-robed envoy said. "Every cultivator who enters the Initial Universe has one opportunity to study them, and each person has seven days to study them!"

"Seven days?"

Everyone was stunned: "So short?"

Luo Feng and the others all knew about the Chaos Stele; they had already learned of its existence from Qin Hao.

However, they still felt that seven days was too short.

Then he thought of the opportunities Qin Hao had given them.

The price to obtain that inheritance, which is of unknown similarity to the Chaos Stele, seems to be much lower than the requirements on the Chaos Stele side.

However, as Qin Hao had previously stated, for the time being, the opportunities offered by Qin Hao's side were not as effective as those from the Chaos Stele.

But for them, the Chaos Monument wouldn't actually be much more effective.

Because their current strength is low, their understanding of the laws is relatively limited.

It's like giving a student who has just finished the middle school entrance exam a set of high school textbooks and a set of textbooks from high school to doctoral level.

Its effect is actually limited to high school textbooks.

Of course, this analogy is a bit one-sided.

The Chaos Stele has a more comprehensive effect, and its effect is indeed much better than that provided by Qin Hao.

However, the increase is not proportional.

"The Chaos Stele is a treasure of humankind. It conveys the path to the ultimate peak more clearly than any secret technique. Seven days of comprehension will be enough for you."

The black-robed messenger offered an explanation.

Luo Feng knew that this explanation was correct, but not comprehensive.

The reason for only giving seven days is that there are too many people waiting to comprehend the Chaos Stele every day.

Of course, seven days is actually enough for their current level of cultivation.

When Qin Hao was teaching them, he always emphasized that they must seek answers with questions in mind.

You know nothing, have no doubts whatsoever, and simply try to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

It's not that it has no effect; it does have an effect, and a very good one at that.

However, the efficiency of using the Chaos Stele is not that high.

This Chaos Stele belongs to all of humanity, not just to nurture geniuses like them.

"Come in, everyone, and prepare to choose which Chaos Stele to observe."

The city lord's mansion occupies a vast area; even the rooftop of an ordinary cultivation residence is hundreds of meters long and wide, so one can imagine how large the city lord's mansion is.

"Each person can only choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend." The black-robed envoy led Luo Feng and the others, and they soon arrived at the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.

Luo Feng and the others, who already knew about these things, silently followed them in.

As soon as he entered, Luo Feng's eyes were drawn to the huge paintings on the walls of the corridor.

"Indeed, there are 52 paintings in total."

He already knew that there were 52 Chaos Steles here, and each of these paintings was actually a description or a microcosm of each of these Chaos Steles.

They need to understand these microcosms in order to determine which one suits them best.

Although Qin Hao's side also had similar methods, the difficulties and dangers they faced forced them to improve their strength as quickly as possible.

Therefore, choosing a suitable one becomes the top priority.

“There are 52 rubbings of pictures hanging on the walls of the corridor. Each picture corresponds to a Chaos Stele. Please take a look at these pictures first.”

Although the drawing cannot convey the aura contained within the Chaos Monument, it can still allow you to vaguely sense it.

As expected, the black-robed envoy told them to observe and choose for themselves.

Some might think, wouldn't the black-robed messenger make a recommendation?

However, they didn't ask their questions.

Spiritual practice is a personal matter for each individual and does not require recommendation from others.

Luo Feng glanced at Qin Hao, still thinking about the small building he had just seen and the vague figure he had seen earlier.

I don't know what happened.

Qin Hao noticed Luo Feng's gaze, nodded slightly, and then looked at the painting on the wall, indicating that he should first study the Chaos Stele.

Something came up; we'll talk about it later.

Luo Feng nodded and went to watch the images.

Although Qin Hao had previously pointed out that Luo Feng might be best suited for the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

But this concerns my future spiritual practice.

Even if it's a recommendation from your master, you still need to verify it with a critical eye.

Therefore, a disciple is not necessarily inferior to his teacher, nor is a teacher necessarily more virtuous than his disciple.

Luo Feng recalled the words of the ancient sages of Earth and began searching through the 52 paintings.

The Cosmic Chaos Monument.

This seems to be the best painting, and also the most powerful path.

Luo Feng thought to himself.

But he felt that he and this painting did have some compatibility.

He could feel that within this painting, he could sense a sunlit avenue.

However, its compatibility with itself is not strong enough.

He continued walking forward.

He wanted to see if there were other paths that suited him.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Ultimately, the best choice is to find what suits you best.

Zhang Daoli and the others were the same.

Ever since Qin Hao told him that he was actually more suited to kendo, he has been in a different situation.

When Zhang Daoli was practicing in private, he also spent a lot of time studying the way of the sword.

He discovered that Qin Hao was right.

The way of the sword may not be the explicit law of this world.

But the way of the sword truly exists in this world.

Swordsmanship is indeed something he likes very much and is very good at.

Unfortunately, none of these 52 paintings depict swordsmanship.

Or rather, it's not that they don't exist, but rather that many paintings contain some of these elements.

For example, the one in front of us.

"The Giant Axe Chaos Stele?"

Zhang Daoli had heard Qin Hao say that the Giant Axe Chaos Stele was actually the path of the Giant Axe's founder.

The one being cultivated is not simply a single law.

Instead, he used an axe to incorporate all the laws he could comprehend into his axe.

This is the Chaos Monument, which is on par with the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

Of all 52 Chaos Steles, only these two are the strongest and the most difficult to obtain.

"I do seem to have found traces of swordsmanship in this place."

Actually, it's a way of using weapons, not just the way of the sword, but also the way of the axe and so on.

Perhaps, everyone who uses their own weapon can see the shadow of their weapon in it.

The founder of the giant axe was not only skilled with axes.

Perhaps it's because he's most comfortable using an axe?

Zhang Yuanbai and the others were the same.

Qin Hao went straight to the painting on the Cosmic Chaos Stele and began to study it.

Here, he can replicate the Cosmic Chaos Monument at a much faster speed.

He can copy the Chaos Monument he is closest to the fastest.

Next, merging time and space is what he should do most.

So don't waste a single moment.

At the same time, the Lord of Chaos City opened his eyes and looked in this direction.

"Did you choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument?"

Having taken Qin Hao's past self, Hongmeng, as his disciple, he would naturally pay some attention to him.

He was quite happy to see that the other party had now left behind the Chaos Stele.

If he hadn't already taken Hongmeng as his disciple, he would have already considered taking Qin Hao as his apprentice.

"However, it seems that the Nine Swords Venerable's previous attempt to persuade Qin Hao did not yield good results?"

The Lord of Chaos City knew that the Nine Swords Venerable was actually interested in taking Qin Hao as his disciple.

He had no objection.

The three bodies (of the body) were separately apprenticed to different masters.

Every teacher can offer him some guidance.

Even support.

He didn't mind.

However, Qin Hao seems to have rejected the other party.

"Are you trying to comprehend multiple principles simultaneously, unwilling to give up on any path?"

He turned to look at a side hall of his palace, where Hongmeng was refining the Heavenly Star Cannon.

The Lord of Chaos City didn't know why the other party wanted to refine it so quickly and in such a hurry.

However, the sooner and the deeper his understanding of treasure refining, the better it will be for the clan.

Within the clan, there are many powerful individuals and excellent materials, but they cannot find the corresponding treasure refiners to help them forge treasures.

But what about his path?

The Lord of Chaos wondered if he should also offer his suggestion.
Ok?
Suddenly, the Lord of Chaos City seemed to have received some news.

He has temporarily put aside his plans, but perhaps he can consider trying to persuade him in the future.

Qin Hao is still young, he has time.

"The Illusionary Butterfly King is somewhat beyond my expectations."

On the other side, the Nine Swords Venerable looked at the immortal woman in front of him and asked, "Is he really unwilling to give up?"

The Nine Swords Venerable was not doubting the immortality of the woman before him, but rather feeling resentful.

“Yes, Your Excellency. He feels he has enough talent and wants to continue down this path.”

The Nine Swords Venerable frowned; the words about a female immortality displeased him greatly.

He wouldn't bother with a cultivation level of the universe if he didn't truly value talent.

No matter how powerful someone is, can they still determine the future of a group?

Even if they went to the battlefield outside the domain, they wouldn't survive for long.

The number of cosmic-level threats lost every moment on extraterrestrial battlefields is unknown.

"Never mind, you can go now."

The Nine Swords Venerable thought that although Qin Hao was amazing, he was not irreplaceable.

In that case, let's continue to wait.

Despite being the most stunning one in the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle that he hosted this time.

Even Death God Berlan pales in comparison.

The fact that the other side encountered an ambush on the way also indirectly proves this point.

It should be noted that even the Grim Reaper Berlan is not worth the alien races using their deeply hidden spies to obtain his whereabouts.

For this reason, the Zerg, Mechs, Prisoners, and Demons all mobilized their inside contacts.

I've been hit hard lately.

As a result, several members of the higher echelons of the human race were reprimanded.

For example, that immortal venerable one.

This immortal venerable one is a high-ranking member of the Giant Axe Duel Arena and a disciple of the founder of Giant Axe.

Although he is only a Venerable One, his combat power is astonishing.

Her strength is comparable to that of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master.

It should be noted that the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace is one of the three top cosmic overlords of the human race.

His combat power is comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe.

This shows that the Immortal Venerable is extremely powerful.

But precisely because of this, he wielded considerable power. For instance, much of the slave trade, which spanned human populations, was controlled by him.

Or perhaps his subordinates, or members of his family's power base.

The people involved are quite complex.

This exposure of the traitor involved some of the Immortal Venerable's subordinates.

Without the cooperation of his subordinates, those traitors could not have infiltrated so easily and hidden themselves so well.

The Undying Venerable was recently reprimanded, though it was somewhat insignificant; he was only punished with some Mixed Yuan Units.

But that's embarrassing...

"Never mind, we can find subordinates later."

Although he is a Venerable, the Nine Swords Venerable has a lot of resources at his disposal.

But let him take it out and nurture a disobedient genius.

The Nine Swords Venerable did not want his resources to go to waste, so he gave up on the idea.

Immortality means the absence of the constraints of lifespan; a genius that appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs?

Then let's just wait for another ten thousand epochs.

Time is very important to the Venerable One.

Because they can accumulate enormous wealth.

But time is not important to the Venerable One.

Throughout all these eons, the Venerable Qianwu has never stepped outside the human race's territory.

This gives us a glimpse into the situation.

Qin Hao was unaware at this time that he had been abandoned.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

Anyway, I already have two masters.

The Illusionary Butterfly King is extremely powerful and invincible upon being crowned a king.

He was just one step away from becoming a Venerable.

Many of the senior brothers and sisters were granted titles of nobility or kingship.

The other person is the Lord of Chaos City, who is the disciple of the Primordial Ancestor.

They were also the stewards of the initial universe.

If you have any questions, you can directly ask the Lord of Chaos City.

Besides, there's also the Nan Hua Daoist from the Qianyang Realm.

These people are all at an incredibly high level.

That should be enough to clear up his doubts.

As for the others, they can also discuss the Way.

When three people walk together, one of them will surely be my teacher.

Everyone has different strengths and different understandings of a matter.

Perhaps, from other people's perspectives, it can offer him a lot of valuable insights.

At this moment, Luo Feng and the others looked at each painting one by one.

Luo Feng only gives himself less than a minute to contemplate each painting.

Although the decision has already been made, it is highly likely that the Nine Universes Chaos Stele will still be chosen.

The secret techniques he chose before, such as Bloodlust, were all foundational for this.

Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh at this point, realizing that having connections is indeed advantageous.

If Qin Hao hadn't already sent his future self to join Chaos City and learned about the Chaos Stele, he wouldn't have been able to succeed.

It's impossible to give yourself that many suggestions.

If we really listened to Babata's advice and bought those top-quality materials to cultivate the Golden Horned Beast and the Demon Slayer Clan clone.

At this moment, he was completely at a loss when faced with these Chaos Monuments.

"This is... the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele? Not bad."

"Jiuyu, it really is Jiuyu, this is the most suitable for me."

Luo Feng discovered that his master Qin Hao's advice was indeed quite good.

He discovered that his compatibility with the Nine Universe Chaos Stele was the strongest.

The moment he saw it, he realized that he was perfectly suited to this Chaos Monument.

It seems that by simply taking a few more glances, one's understanding of the laws can be significantly improved.

This is not an illusion, but a fact.

Even the black-robed envoy glanced at Luo Feng: "This kid's comprehension is extremely strong. It seems that many Chaos Tablets are useful to him. From what I've seen, at a speed visible to the naked eye, he has actually comprehended a bit of the laws of space?"

Many people have noticed Luo Feng's changes.

Although he was not an exception, many geniuses who viewed these paintings gained something, to varying degrees.

But it seems he reaped the most rewards?
Even Qin Hao, who was sitting cross-legged over there and was said to be the strongest genius of this year, didn't seem to have such a posture.

Is the title of "genius" an exaggeration?

What he didn't know was that Qin Hao's understanding of the laws was far superior to that of others.

It's not easy to achieve enough in such a short time.

However, the reason why the black-robed messenger did not discover it was not because Qin Hao had not gained anything.

What he gained, however, was not readily apparent to outsiders.

"Alright, time's up. Tell me, which Chaos Stele do you choose?" the black-robed envoy said, timing it perfectly.

"I choose 'Dragon's Chaos Stele'."

"I choose 'The Chaos Monument of Wind and Shadow'."

The black-robed messenger walked inside, questioning each genius as he went.

Many thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind.

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele is also very suitable for me, as are the Heart Trace Chaos Stele, the Cosmic Chaos Stele, and even the Giant Axe Chaos Stele. They are all very good to me, and I am very addicted to them."

He dismissed these thoughts and finally said firmly, "I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

After much deliberation, I decided that this Nine Universes Chaos Stele was the most suitable for me.

All the preparations he had made before were for this moment.

The black-robed messenger nodded, passed by, and continued onward.

"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'."

Qin Hao stated his choice calmly yet firmly.

The goal was already set when the future self arrived.

The future body chose the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, while the original body chose the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

After the black-robed messenger finished recording at the end of the corridor, he turned around and smiled, saying, "I have sent out your choices. Follow me."

The thousand people followed the black-robed messenger deeper into the corridor, and after a short while, they arrived at a spacious training ground.

"There are currently 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers. 12 of these chambers are occupied, while the other 40 are empty." The black-robed envoy looked at the group before him. "Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Stele chambers..."

Luo Feng understood. Sure enough, it wasn't just geniuses like them who could come and comprehend the Chaos Stele.

Indeed, each generation of the Genius Battle selects a thousand people.

A star-sized object can live for one epoch, which is 10081 years.

A cosmic-level system can live for 10 epochs, while a domain host can live for 100 epochs.

The battle of the universe's top geniuses takes place once every five thousand years.

The Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Duel Arena take turns hosting the event.

Over time, the number of geniuses accumulates to an enormous amount.

He secretly hoped that he could stand out from the crowd and not become just another face in the crowd.

"The Chaos Stele of Yanshan, the Chaos Stele of Heart Traces..." The black-robed envoy quickly recited the names of forty Chaos Steles in one breath.

"If you choose these 40 Chaos Monuments, go directly to the entrance on the far left in front. You will be arranged to enter each secret room."

One by one, they vanished in streaks of light, leaving behind 140 people.

The black-robed envoy turned around and looked at Qin Hao, Luo Feng, and the others who remained, saying, "When comprehending the Chaos Stele, it is strictly forbidden to disturb others. The remaining Chaos Steles are currently being comprehended by others, so you will need to wait for a while."

"You'll have to wait until they're done."

Qin Hao had no objection. In fact, he had just thought that if he couldn't comprehend it directly, it would be better to wait at the entrance.

Perhaps, we can even replicate the progress of the Chaos Monument a few more times.

"However, you don't need to worry. It will only take three days at most. After three days, everyone will be able to get their own Chaos Stele."

The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele only lasts for seven days.

Everyone has a record.

"Alright, you can go up to the city lord's mansion tower first." The black-robed envoy pointed ahead, "It's over there, you can cultivate there first. I'll let you know when it's your turn."

On the way to the city gate tower of the city lord's mansion, the savage Rong Jun approached Luo Feng and said, "What bad luck! You chose the Chaos Stele, and someone is actually studying it."

We're really in the same boat. But Luo Feng, which one did you choose?

Luo Feng nodded and said, "The Nine Universes Chaos Stele. As you know, my master suggested it before. I studied the diagrams of all the Chaos Steles and found that this one is indeed the most suitable for me. But what about you?"

“I chose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele. You know, I also wield an axe. But I saw a lot in the Giant Axe Chaos Stele. The Pavilion Master is truly amazing.”

Rong Jun was actually quite shocked, as Qin Hao had given them advice beforehand.

Moreover, the secret techniques chosen for them seem to fit these Chaos Monuments very well.

He had no idea how Qin Hao knew those secret techniques.

Each person can only see a brief introduction to the secret technique.

Can we really determine the full content of these secret techniques based on just those?

He felt that it was highly unlikely to work.

But Qin Hao did just that.

The problem is, they also found that the suggestion was actually effective.

Of course, he didn't know that Qin Hao had already become the disciple of the Chaos City Lord because of his past life.

Furthermore, since leaving Chaos City was no longer permitted, the Lord of Chaos City provided substantial compensation.

These secret techniques below the level of immortality are completely free; you can look at them freely.

The number of points possessed by the Chaos City Lord is unknown.

Since it's not really of any use anyway, let him watch it as he pleases.

Hongmeng did not refuse, and read extensively, looking up other people's secret methods and learning from them.

Perhaps, this will allow me to perfect my secret technique.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion has recently acquired many secret techniques, and that's how they came about.

Rong Jun and Luo Feng talked while looking in another direction.

Death, Berlan, stood there alone and proud, with no one else around him.

He is the only person besides Qin Hao to have such a precipitous lead.

"What did he choose?" Rong Jun asked curiously.

Death Berlan seemed to have heard it, and his body shifted slightly, but in the end he remained standing in place without saying a word.

They didn't come over either.

When they went to consult Qin Hao, Death God Berlan also appeared with others and asked for advice as well.

However, at other times, Death Berlan doesn't seem to be very sociable.

Geniuses seem to be all like that.

Apart from Qin Hao.

"I don't know." Luo Feng shook his head, then heard a genius next to him say, "The Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

what?
Luo Feng was speechless. Hadn't he heard that Death God Berlan wanted to try spacetime fusion and comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe?
Is this giving up?
Previously, Death God Berlan was discouraged by his master Qin Hao.

Everyone has seen this.

But after being so persistent and proud, can he really let go?
Death God Berlan's lips twitched.

All he could say was that he didn't give up because he hadn't been hit hard enough.

Moreover, he did not completely give up.

We can consider these things when we reach the level of a Realm Lord or even an Immortal.

Qin Hao, however, chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

"He truly is a genius. A genius that's unmatched!" (End of Chapter)
