Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 130: Comprehending the Chaos Monument

"Each person can only choose one Chaos Monument to observe and comprehend." The voice of the black-robed envoy echoed in the corridor.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor hung huge paintings exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Each painting was a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, with names written next to them.

"Fifty-two rubbings of paintings hang on the corridor walls, each corresponding to a Chaos Monument." A note of seriousness etched into the black-robed messenger's voice. "Though these paintings can't fully convey the profound aura of the Chaos Monuments, they can at least give you a glimpse of their mysteries. First, examine them carefully... and then decide which Chaos Monument you'll choose."

A thousand geniuses stood in the corridor, looking at the pictures on the walls on both sides, with confusion and hesitation on their faces.

They originally thought that they would face the Chaos Monument directly, but they didn't expect to make a choice through these pictures.

"I'll give you half an hour." The black-robed messenger stood at the outermost end of the corridor, his hands behind his back, looking at everyone calmly.

Time passes slowly in silence.

An expression of concentration gradually emerged on the faces of most geniuses. They either frowned in thought or whispered to each other, trying to catch a hint of the Chaos Monument from these pictures.

A few people who had already decided on the Chaos Stele they wanted to choose looked at the other pictures in a cursory manner, and then stood in front of the rubbing of the Chaos Stele they chose.

Rong Jun and Wu Ka stood before the Great Axe Chaos Monument's rubbing, their eyes fixed on the image. They already knew this was the most powerful Chaos Monument.

Bolan's heart was raging, his eyes filled with determination and unwillingness as he stood before the rubbing of the [Cosmic Chaos Monument]. He had simultaneously crossed the threshold of both the Law of Wind and the Law of Space. This [Cosmic Chaos Monument] was the path he had long since chosen.

Besides...if he didn't choose the stronger Chaos Monument, Bolan really didn't know what he needed to do to surpass Chu He!
Chu He glanced at the other 51 pictures and without any hesitation came to the rubbing of the [Ice Peak Chaos Monument].

All nine pictures on the [Ice Peak Chaos Monument] have been reduced and printed here.

Although the meaning of it has been lost, it still has great reference value for Chu He at this moment.

The first picture shows nine snowflakes falling from the sky. Indistinctly, there seems to be a deeper connection between these nine snowflakes.

The second picture showed 36 snowflakes fluttering down. Chu He stared intently, vaguely sensing that they formed groups of nine.

In the third picture, there are 90 snowflakes flying all over the sky. But when the viewing angle is slightly adjusted, it seems to have turned into 108 larger snowflakes.

The fourth to sixth pictures are of snow-capped mountains. The number of snow-capped mountains varies, and they are combined into a special formation.

The seventh to ninth pictures turned into starry sky pictures. At the same time, these stars seemed to form strange monsters.

Each star's node needs to be viewed in conjunction with the entire map. A slight change of perspective reveals that this star contributes to the formation of more than one bizarre monster.

The mysteries of the laws of water and space are interwoven in the picture, like flowing ice crystals and interlaced shadows, which are dazzling.

Chu He, who had already begun to analyze the essence of these two laws, was immediately immersed in it, and felt a sense of cheering and excitement.

Time passed silently, and Chu He was still immersed in the wonderful world created by the picture, as if the entire universe had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, half an hour is up." The black-robed messenger's voice rang out again, breaking the silence. "Tell me which Chaos Monument you choose, and I'll record it."

"I choose the [Nine-Universe Chaos Monument]!"

"I choose the [Wind Shadow Chaos Monument]!"

"[Cosmic Chaos Monument]."

"[Great Axe Chaos Monument]."

"[Ice Peak Chaos Monument]."

……

The black-robed messenger slowly walked to the end of the corridor. After carefully recording everything, he slowly turned around and glanced at the crowd. His tone was calm but carried a hint of authority. "I have recorded all of your choices and sent them out. Now, follow me."

Chu He and the others nodded silently, followed him, left the deep corridor, and continued walking deeper.

A moment later, they arrived at an extremely empty training ground in the City Lord's Mansion.

This training ground is extremely vast, measuring dozens of kilometers in length and width, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, a thousand young people had gathered in this open space. The surroundings were silent, with only a gentle breeze blowing, bringing a hint of coolness.

The black-robed envoy stood in front of the crowd, his eyes sharp and his voice deep and clear: "Currently, of the 52 Chaos Monuments' meditation chambers, 12 are occupied. The remaining 40 are empty."

He paused, then continued, "Next, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Monuments. Those who choose one of these Chaos Monuments should proceed directly to the entrance on the far left. Someone there will be responsible for arranging your entry into the corresponding secret chamber."

His voice echoed in the empty training ground, making everyone's heart tense.

Immediately afterwards, the black-robed messenger began to call out the names of the Chaos Monuments one by one: "Yanshan Chaos Monument", "Xinhen Chaos Monument"... "Bingfeng Chaos Monument", "Cosmic Chaos Monument"!

Every time a name was announced, the eyes of a few or even dozens of the thousand geniuses would flash with excitement or anticipation.

After the black-robed messenger announced his name, he raised his hand and pointed to the entrance on the left side of the training ground. "Now, you can go through."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 800 of the 1,000 young people instantly turned into streams of light and quickly flew towards the entrance.

……

Chu He and others walked slowly along a corridor about 60 meters wide and 120 meters high.

On both sides of the corridor, huge bronze gates stand tall. Each gate is 120 meters high and about 160 meters wide. The gates are engraved with ancient and mysterious universal characters, exuding a sense of vicissitudes of time.

[Mother], [Giant Axe], [Dragon Walk]...

Before each of the giant bronze doors stood a kind-looking old man. Strangely, these old men looked exactly the same!
More than ten people who had chosen the [Ice Peak Chaos Monument] like Chu He were now standing in front of a huge bronze door engraved with the words [Ice Peak].

This gate is 120 meters high, as majestic as a mountain, and one cannot help but look up. In front of the gate stood an old man with a vertical eye between his eyebrows, his face identical to the old men in front of the other gates.

"Lord Kendri, Lord Kendri!" a voice suddenly sounded.

Swish!
A werewolf youth with a pair of white ears on his head, a tail behind him, and a ferocious aura all over his body suddenly appeared in front of the bronze gate.

He saluted respectfully to Kandri, then glanced at Chu He and the others with a delighted smile on his face: "Lord Kandri, it seems I have come at the right time. I can go in and meditate with them. If I had been a step later, I would have had to wait another seven days."

"Oh? You've made a breakthrough?" Kandri looked at the werewolf youth with a smile.

"Yes, I just passed the ninth level assessment and got another seven days of opportunity for comprehension." The werewolf youth replied quickly.

Kandeli closed his eyes, as if sensing something. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and nodded: "Well, you do have an additional seven days of enlightenment opportunity." Chu He stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two in silence, his expression calm, waiting patiently.

The werewolf youth then turned around, glanced at Chu He and the others, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, are you the new guys from the Virtual Universe Company?"

The other dozen or so people looked at Chu He. It was obvious that in this situation, he was the backbone of the group.

"Yes." Chu He responded in a low voice with a steady tone.

"Haha, it's another year of genius competition!" The werewolf youth smiled and nodded, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, "Let's wait here for a while, a group of people who are meditating will come out soon."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the three-eyed old man with an expression of great respect. "This is Lord Kandri, the guardian of the Chaos Monument's training chambers. These fifty-two elders standing in front of the Chaos Monument's training chambers are all Lord Kandri's avatars. Lord Kandri has guarded these chambers for over a million epochs and is a highly respected figure in Chaos City."

Wow!
Upon hearing this, the group of young people were immediately shocked, their gazes fixed on the seemingly ordinary, kind-looking three-eyed elder. Who could have imagined that this elder could single-handedly create 52 clones to guard all the Chaos Monument training chambers?
Suddenly, the three-eyed old man seemed to have received some information. He turned around and looked at Chu He, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Kandri is an ancient being in the universe with extraordinary strength. The super powers of other races in the universe call him the "Guardian of Chaos City."

Of course, the relationship between this Venerable Kandri and Venerable Jiujian is very close.

Close enough to explore the secrets of the universe together.

You know, traveling to the secret realm of the universe together is basically equivalent to entrusting your life to each other.

This is a friendship for life and death!
"Are you the disciple of the Nine Swords?" The Three-Eyed Venerable Kandri looked at Chu He with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Haha, you are so young. Seeing young people like you is like seeing the future and hope of the human race."

"Lord Kandri!" Chu He saluted respectfully, with a hint of nervousness and respect in his tone.

"Haha, there's no need to be so reserved." Kandri's smile grew even kinder, and he spoke in a relaxed tone, "Your master is currently visiting my residence, and he even went out of his way to show off your talent to me."

"Hmm..." The vertical eye on Kandri's forehead flickered slightly, and a dark light flashed across it. Then he nodded and exclaimed, "Yes, this opportunity is indeed rare!"

Chu He was shocked and thought to himself, "What's going on? I've never heard that the eye on the forehead has the ability to detect!"

He clearly remembered that the reason why Kandri was called the "Guardian of Chaos City" was mainly because of his superb clone technique.

For an immortal being, creating a divine clone is not a difficult task, but Kandri's clone is different.

Each of his clones possesses about 60% of the strength of the original. Even if a clone is destroyed, the impact on Kandri will be minimal.

Because of this, in some dangerous places, Kendri often sends clones to explore to ensure the safety of the original body.

However, where does this third eye's ability to detect come from?

Chu He was confused, but soon figured it out.

"Speaking of which, being assigned to guard the Chaos Monument without some means of investigation would be rather strange..."

"Alas, it seems that I can no longer rely entirely on the original work's textual description as a reference..." Chu He sighed in his heart.

He had actually anticipated this situation.

After all, the world is so vast, how can a description of just a few million words cover all the details?

Being able to know a lot of secret knowledge is already a great advantage.

Hearing Kandri's praise for Chu He, not only the dozen or so young geniuses who were traveling with him were surprised, but even the werewolf youth beside him had a strange look in his eyes.

"This young man... can actually be accepted as a disciple by a venerable?" The werewolf youth sighed in his heart, and there was a bit more envy in his eyes when he looked at Chu He.

……

About five or six minutes later, the bronze door suddenly made a loud rumbling sound and slowly opened. A chaotic air current swirled through the door, making it difficult to see clearly inside.

"Come out!" Kandri's low voice entered the secret room and echoed in the chaotic air flow.

Soon, figures flew out of the chaotic airflow. Many of them covered their heads with their hands, their faces filled with resentment. They glanced back at the secret room, but could only leave helplessly.

"You guys can go in now." Kandri looked at Chu He and the others, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty. "After seven days, the door will open again. You must come out immediately. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone replied in unison.

"Yes." Kendri nodded, his eyes deep, "Go in."

The group stepped into the secret room with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.

The secret cultivation room is very huge, with chaotic air flowing inside.

Chu He was a little excited as he walked into the depths of the secret room, where chaotic air currents surrounded a huge stone tablet.

It is a hundred meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide, with nine pictures on it. On the edge of the Chaos Monument are engraved two ancient universal language characters "Bingfeng".

The other dozen or so young geniuses all chose a place to sit cross-legged with anticipation and nervousness.

Chu He glanced at the Chaos Monument and quickly took out a large pot of wine.

It is exactly [Ice Heart Jade Liquid].

There are 56 bottles of spirit wine in it.

The reason [Ice Heart Jade Liquid] can temporarily boost your comprehension is due to its spiritual power. Each portion of [Ice Heart Jade Liquid] temporarily boosts your comprehension for three hours. Stacking 3 portions can naturally extend this duration to seven days.

As for the body's metabolic capacity and tolerance...

It's all cosmic level!
As long as you don't want to get drunk, the alcohol will go away quickly.

Only the werewolf youth glanced at Chu He out of the corner of his eye.

Although he was puzzled as to why this guy brought in wine, he still slipped into the depths of the secret room very skillfully and immediately began to comprehend.

Being able to live to this day, the werewolf youth knows very well that instead of envying others, he should seize the time to improve himself.
