Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 60 First Enlightenment of the Chaos Stele

At this moment, led by the black-robed envoy, Yu Duan and the others entered an ancient palace, preparing to choose the Chaos Stele.

Stepping into the palace, one is greeted by a deep corridor over 60 meters wide, with 52 rubbings of images hanging on the walls, each corresponding to a Chaos Stele.

"Your Highnesses, please first look at the rubbings of the Chaos Stele. Although these rubbings are far less effective than the Chaos Stele itself, they can still give you a glimpse into the mysteries contained within the different Chaos Steles."

As the black-robed envoy spoke, Yu Duan and many other geniuses had already begun to look at the ancient rubbings.

Each rubbing is a standard 10 meters in length and width, and next to it is written in universal language which Chaos Stele it is.

Seeing this, the black-robed envoy smiled and said, "Your Highnesses have half an hour to make your choice."

After speaking, the black-robed envoy stood quietly at the entrance of the corridor, watching the many geniuses choose the Chaos Stele.

"I will definitely choose the Myriad Chaos Stele, but I can also take this time to learn about the other Chaos Steles."

Yu Duan's mind stirred slightly as his gaze swept over the rubbings of the Chaos Stele.

More than half of the 52 rubbings contain fluctuations in the fundamental laws of time.

Among them, top-tier chaos steles such as the Giant Axe Chaos Stele and the Cosmic Chaos Stele contain the mysteries of two superior primordial laws.

In fact, both the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, which specializes in space in the early stages, and the Myriad Universes Chaos Stele, which specializes in time in the early stages, are contained within two superior fundamental laws.

For example, the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele only has the first seven illustrations that explain the fundamental laws of time, corresponding to the twenty-first level of the Bridge to Heaven.

By thoroughly understanding the first seven diagrams, one will grasp the complete fundamental laws of time and become a Time Master.

The eighth and ninth images also contain the mysteries of spatial laws; otherwise, they wouldn't be ranked fourth among the 52 Chaos Steles.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

The black-robed envoy walked over and called out to the group of geniuses, "Your Highnesses, the time has come. Please come here to register your chosen Chaos Stele."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked up to each of the geniuses and entered their choices.

"I choose the Chaos Stele of Tianxu".

"I choose the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele."

"I choose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele."

"..."

A moment later, the black-robed messenger arrived in front of Koti: "Which Chaos Stele has Your Highness Koti chosen?"

"I choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument!" Kodi did not hesitate at all, as he was a practitioner of both space and time.

Then the black-robed envoy looked at Yu Duan beside him. Before he could ask anything, Yu Duan smiled and said, "I choose the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele."

Before long, with all the geniuses' choices recorded, the black-robed envoy smiled and said, "Your Highnesses' choices have been recorded. Now you may go and study the Chaos Stele."

Immediately, the black-robed envoy led Yu Duan and the others deeper into the corridor, and soon they arrived at a vast training ground that was hundreds of kilometers long and wide.

"Currently, among the 52 Chaos Stele chambers, nine Chaos Steles are being studied by individuals, requiring a few days' wait before anyone can begin studying them. Now, I will announce the other Chaos Steles that can be studied directly..."

The black-robed envoy turned to look at Yu Duan and the others, and then said, "Yanshan Chaos Stele, Myriad Universe Chaos Stele, Heart Trace Chaos Stele... Universe Chaos Stele, Giant Axe Chaos Stele."

"Your Highnesses who have chosen the above Chaos Stele, please proceed to the leftmost entrance of the training ground and study the Chaos Stele you have selected according to the instructions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Duan, Ke Di, and the others transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the corridor where the Chaos Stele's secret chamber was located.

In an instant, of the thousands of geniuses, only a little over a hundred remained, forced to wait miserably for the Chaos Stele Chamber to reopen.

On both sides of the corridor where the Chaos Stele's secret chamber is located, there are 52 massive bronze doors, each 160 meters wide and about 120 meters high.

Each bronze gate was marked with its name in the universal language, and next to it stood a kind-faced, three-eyed old man who smiled at Yu Duan and the other children.

Many people were surprised and doubtful when they first saw this kind-faced old man, wondering why every old man at the entrance of the Chaos Stele looked exactly the same.

"Lord Candry."

The black-robed messenger respectfully bowed to the three-eyed elder guarding the Chaos Stele.

The three-eyed old man nodded slightly: "Is this the little guy selected from the new batch of geniuses?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed envoy quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Kander."

After speaking, the black-robed envoy looked at Yu Duan and the others: "This is Lord Kandri, known in the universe as the Guardian of Chaos City. Beside each of his secret chambers is an avatar of Lord Kandri..."

"Meet Lord Candry."

Yu Duan and many other geniuses immediately bowed in respect.

No one dared to show the slightest disrespect to a super-powerful being at the level of a cosmic sovereign.

Kander nodded and said, "Go and wait in front of the Chaos Stele chamber you have chosen."

Instantly, the numerous geniuses separated and each arrived at the entrance of their respective Chaos Stele secret chamber.

"Boom..."

With a series of heavy rumbling sounds, the doors of the empty training rooms opened one by one.

"Go in. I will wake you all up in seven days."

As soon as Kander finished speaking, everyone present hurriedly entered their respective private rooms.

……

The cultivation chamber was very spacious, with countless chaotic mists swirling and billowing around it.

Yu Duan looked into the depths of the mist and could vaguely see a majestic stone tablet, about a hundred meters high and wide.

Only after getting close to the stone tablet can you see the nine patterns on it clearly, and the words "Wan Zhou" are engraved in the lower right corner of the patterns.

The first image shows nine abstract lines, which could be interpreted as sword marks or knife marks. The type of marks one sees reflects the nature of the secret techniques being practiced.

The second image shows 36 rivers arranged in a very unusual layout, almost giving the impression of flowing water. The third image shows 108 lakes, which could almost be mistaken for an ocean.

The fourth to sixth images are respectively a diagram of planetary motion, a diagram of stellar motion, and a diagram of galaxy motion.

As for the last seven to ninth pictures, they all depict an inflating 'bubble,' but the difference lies in the different complex and strange patterns on the bubble.

"The path to analyzing the essence can be divided into three levels, from simple to complex. What I need now is to fully understand the first picture."

Yu Duan's gaze fell upon the first 'Sword Mark Diagram,' which contained the essence of the nine most rudimentary laws of time.

The path to understanding the essence requires taking one step at a time. Trying to understand the mysteries hidden in the subsequent diagrams in advance will affect and interfere with the process of analysis.

"Om..."

As Yu Duan calmed down, his mind became completely absorbed in the first painting.

The nine sword marks in the first picture seem to come alive, as if nine figures are performing nine completely different yet interconnected mysterious sword techniques in front of Yu Duan.

The nine sword lights intertwined at Yu Duan's level of consciousness, guiding Yu Duan's consciousness and spirit into an endless and mysterious realm.

This is the greatest function of the Chaos Stele: to actively guide observers and allow them to naturally grasp its mysteries.

If it were merely a simple explanation of the essence of nine rudimentary laws, any cosmic venerable could easily leave behind a similar inscription.

But only the Chaos Stele has this kind of proactive guiding effect.

"So this is how the third law works. No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with my understanding... and my understanding of the six subsequent superficial essences was also flawed."

The essence and mystery of the first nine laws of time lie in their interweaving and resonance at the level of consciousness, demonstrating their own principles.

At this moment, Yu Duan's understanding of the nine interpretations of time, the principles of space and time, and even all the mysteries of the laws of time that he had comprehended were connected and became a whole.

Countless insights and thoughts collide, and in this collision, new sparks and mysteries emerge in the understanding of time.

……

In the blink of an eye, the seven days of contemplation passed by.

"Rumble..."

With a deafening roar, the massive bronze door to the secret chamber slowly opened.

"Everyone come out!"

A distant and enchanting voice entered, directly into Yu Duan's mind, and then echoed on the level of consciousness.

A moment later, the demonic voice became so intense that it roused Yu Duan from his comprehension of the Chaos Stele.

"The effect of comprehending the Chaos Stele for the first time was beyond imagination."

Yu Duan's eyes were deep, and the third pupil between his brows shimmered with nine-colored light.

In just seven days, Yu Duan's understanding of the fundamental laws of time improved more than he had in the previous twenty-odd years combined.

This is the result of years of hard work accumulating knowledge and experience; many of the doubts and incomprehensible points encountered before have now become clear.

To make such progress again in the future, I will need to accumulate enough experience and experience.

call out!
Yu Duan's figure transformed into a stream of light and walked out of the Chaos Stele's secret chamber.

There were no other geniuses from the same period in the corridor; they seemed to have already left.

The three-eyed old man at the entrance of the Chaos Stele's secret chamber looked at Yu Duan with some surprise: "The young man has good willpower; he woke up almost a minute later than them."

The awakening technique that Kandri used was aimed at the cosmic-level little guy. After discovering that Yu Duan's consciousness strength was abnormal, he did not deliberately increase the intensity of the awakening demonic sound.

Instead, they waited for the awakening demonic sound to grow strong enough to awaken Yu Duan. They also wanted to know the level of Yu Duan's willpower.

However, this test took the ancient venerable one, who had guarded the Chaos Stele for millions of epochs, quite by surprise.

"Lord Kandri is too kind," Yu Duan replied with a slight bow and a smile.

Candri laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, all the kids from your class have gone to try their luck on the Sky Bridge."

"As long as you pass through each level of the Heavenly Bridge, you will have a chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan bowed to Kandri again to take his leave before transforming into a streak of light and departing from the city lord's mansion.

……

After leaving the city lord's mansion, these geniuses all went to find their own places to live.

However, Yu Duan didn't need to deliberately look for a place to stay, because Teacher Qinghuan Wang had already provided him with some information before he came.

On a street not far from the city lord's mansion, Yu Duan stood in an empty residence, his right hand resting on the door.

"drop--"

An electronic notification sounded: "Welcome, Master."

Yu Duan nodded slightly and flashed into the lobby on the first floor of the small building.

A voice immediately came out: "I am the service AI. During your stay, please feel free to give me any requests regarding your daily needs, such as food and lodging."

"Well, I see."

Yu Duan responded, and then his figure transformed into a streak of light, leaping onto the third-floor rooftop.

The third-floor rooftop is a hundred meters long and wide, serving as a training ground for practicing secret techniques.

The traces left by many predecessors when they practiced secret techniques have been preserved here for countless eras.

Of course, Yu Duan came here not to study the traces left by his predecessors, but to verify one of his own conjectures.
