Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 294 Incredible Speed!

After comprehending the primordial imprints of the chaotic universe within the thousand Heavenly Steles, the difficulty of cultivation indeed increased significantly.

This is not only because the level of the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe is getting higher and higher, but also because the difficulty of comprehending it is naturally getting higher and higher.

The more chaotic cosmic origin imprints one comprehends, the greater the conflicts between them become, which is a huge limitation.

Therefore, although Jiang Heng comprehended the 1,000 Heavenly Steles very quickly, Chi Yuan, the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, still felt that Jiang Heng's chances were not great.

Jiang Heng himself could feel that when he comprehended the 1001st Tongtian Stele, the difficulty had indeed increased significantly.

The level of the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe has indeed been elevated, just like a one plus one problem suddenly becoming a linear equation with two variables.

However, Jiang Heng did not sense any conflict between the original imprints of the chaotic universe, which was not a problem for him.

Long ago, when Jiang Heng saw the images in the Tongtian Stele time and time again, he had a vague, special feeling.

In Jiang Heng's view, although each image in the Tongtian Stele only depicts a single sword, they seem to be connected to each other.

At this point, Jiang Heng had actually mastered a full thousand sword techniques. If these thousand sword techniques were connected together, some clues could be found.

Some swords have little connection and may even conflict with each other, but some swords have subtle connections and similarities.

Jiang Heng even discovered by chance that some of the sword strikes actually involved a series of transitions and variations.

The transition from one sword to another was not hindered in the slightest, but rather quite smooth, as if the next sword should be the next one.

What does this mean? It undoubtedly tells Jiang Heng that these seemingly individual sword strikes are not actually independent entities.

Each sword strike is actually connected to the others, and countless swords coming together might just form a complete sword technique.

Perhaps it is because this sword technique is too advanced; even a single sword strike is supreme, and it is extremely difficult to comprehend.

Connecting these individual swords together would be extremely difficult, with almost no hope of success.

In fact, for many people, it would be almost impossible to discover the connection between these two separate swords.

Jiang Heng not only discovered the connection, but also the connection between the original imprints of the chaotic universe.

The profound mysteries contained in each sword technique actually correspond to the original imprint of the chaotic universe, which is the core of the power of each sword.

Since there is a connection between each sword strike, it is only natural that there is also a connection between the original imprints of the chaotic universe.

This was also the opportunity for Jiang Heng to break through. After noticing that slight abnormality, Jiang Heng kept studying each of the Heavenly Steles as he comprehended them.

As Jiang Heng comprehended more and more of the Heavenly Stele, his speed not only did not slow down, but on the contrary, it became faster and faster.

Because they understood the connections between them, they were able to draw inferences and make the knowledge they had gained in the past a source of strength in the present.

The reason why Chi Yuan, the master of Xuanhuang Dao Palace, was surprised by Jiang Heng's speed of comprehension was because even Chi Yuan had never expected that Jiang Heng could achieve such a level.

"To draw inferences from one instance to another!" This may sound simple, but it is incredibly difficult to actually do.

Within every star lies a Heavenly Stele, and within each Heavenly Stele lies a mark of the primordial chaos of the universe.

These primordial imprints of the chaotic universe exist in the form of sword techniques. As long as one touches the Tongtian Stele with both hands, one can comprehend its profound mysteries.

However, in the third level of the test, there are countless stars; even if you count them carefully, the number is definitely over 100,000.

A peerless sword technique is divided into more than 100,000 sword strikes. To try to comprehend the complete sword technique through a single sword strike is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

The same applies to the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe. Even a supreme law will become unrecognizable after being divided into more than 100,000 parts.

Finding the connection between these thousand chaotic origins of the universe is like finding a needle in a haystack, and the difficulty is unimaginable.

Jiang Heng naturally didn't have the ability to understand the connections between all the original imprints of the chaotic universe from a superior perspective.

However, Jiang Heng was able to categorize these primordial imprints of the chaotic universe through the connections between them.

Through their connection, Jiang Heng can receive some assistance when comprehending a certain primordial mark of the chaotic universe.

At the beginning, this help may not be obvious, but as you grasp more and more of the original imprints of the chaotic universe, the help will become greater and greater.

If you suddenly get a very difficult math problem, you'll naturally be completely bewildered and won't know where to start.

Just like understanding that one plus one equals two makes understanding that one plus two equals three much easier.

By gradually building a solid foundation and understanding things step by step from the basics to the advanced levels, some things will not seem so difficult.

Of course, this is also a kind of talent. If one does not have a certain sensitivity to the original imprint of the chaotic universe, it is actually difficult to discover the rules within it.

This is similar to the difference between a poor student and a top student. A poor student may work very hard, but their learning efficiency can never match that of a top student.

Even while you're still studying hard, top students have already mastered the patterns of learning and can even apply what they've learned to other situations.

Chi Yuan, the master of Xuanhuang Dao Palace, is right. Jiang Heng does indeed have extraordinary talent in comprehending the original imprint of the chaotic universe.

Moreover, Jiang Heng's talent gives him an unimaginable advantage in the third level of assessment.

It's likely that even Chi Yuan couldn't have imagined that the more Chaos Universe Origin Imprints Jiang Heng comprehended, the faster he would become, rather than the slower he would become.

Such an incredible situation was something that even the well-informed Chi Yuan had never seen before, and he had never even considered it.

Therefore, when Jiang Heng became a formal disciple and continued to comprehend the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe within the Tongtian Stele, something incredible happened.

It took Jiang Heng about 10,000 years to comprehend the first 100 Heavenly Steles, and another 60,000 years to comprehend the 1,000 Heavenly Steles.

In total, it would actually take Jiang Heng about 70,000 years to comprehend the 1,000 Heavenly Steles.

However, the master of Xuanhuang Dao Palace never expected that Jiang Heng would comprehend a thousand more Tongtian Steles in just 50,000 years.

The speed didn't slow down; in fact, it increased. Although the increase wasn't particularly significant, it was still astonishing.

If that's not all, when Jiang Heng comprehended the thousand Heavenly Steles again, it only took him forty thousand years.

The speed was still increasing, and even a powerful figure like Chi Yuan, the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, was speechless with shock.

Jiang Heng has now comprehended the primordial imprints of the chaotic universe within the three thousand Tongtian Steles, a process that has taken him a total of 160,000 years.

It took Jiang Heng 195,000 years to comprehend 4,000 Heavenly Steles. It took him 225,000 years to comprehend 5,000 Heavenly Steles.

It took Jiang Heng 250,000 years to comprehend 6,000 Heavenly Steles. It took him 270,000 years to comprehend 7,000 Heavenly Steles.

It took Jiang Heng 290,000 years to comprehend the 8,000 Heavenly Steles. It took him 310,000 years to comprehend the 9,000 Heavenly Steles.

At the beginning, Jiang Heng's speed was constantly increasing and the time he spent was constantly decreasing, but later on, Jiang Heng's speed stabilized.

It only took Jiang Heng 20,000 years to comprehend 1,000 Heavenly Steles, and this pace remained stable until he reached 9,000 Heavenly Steles.

When Jiang Heng was trying to comprehend the 9,001 Heavenly Steles, he encountered an obstacle, and his comprehension speed suddenly slowed down.

Even so, after 40,000 years, Jiang Heng had already mastered 9,999 Heavenly Steles.

At this time, a full 350,000 years had passed since Jiang Heng arrived at the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, which was no short period of time.

While Jiang Heng was making great strides, the others did not slack off either, but their progress was not as ideal.

Zhen Yuanzi has successfully comprehended the original mark of the chaotic universe within a Tongtian Stele, but that is all there is to it.

Yang Jian has successfully comprehended two of the Heavenly Steles and is now working on comprehending the third, but there has been no progress for quite some time.

Nezha is still stuck on the second Tongtian Stele. Despite his continuous efforts, he sees no hope of success whatsoever.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already comprehending the fourth Tongtian Stele, and he showed no reaction whatsoever to Jiang Heng's continuous breakthroughs.

Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face, and a vast power emerged from his body.

Even Jiang Heng and the others, who were immersed in cultivation, felt this powerful force and couldn't help but stop their cultivation.

A solemn expression appeared on Jiang Heng's face. Sensing this powerful force, he naturally knew what was going on.

This is clearly the aura of a breakthrough, and within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun could unleash such a powerful aura.

When Jiang Heng fought against Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he already knew that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

If he hadn't been injured and unable to fight for long, Jiang Heng probably wouldn't have been a match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun in that battle.

Now, with the help of 30% of the world's origin from the primordial world, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has fully recovered from his injuries and reached his peak state.

After cultivating in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace for many years, breaking through from the Immortal Emperor to the Sacrifice Dao Realm was not exactly unexpected.

In fact, long ago, even before the great god Pangu created the world, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Such a long period of time, even with injuries, was enough for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to see a higher realm, and a breakthrough was only a matter of time before he could break through.

Within this Xuanhuang Dao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has already comprehended three Chaos Universe Origin Imprints, which is already quite remarkable.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had long planned to break through, and now, after accumulating for hundreds of thousands of years, he finally took a crucial step.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's breakthrough was without any hindrance. When that powerful aura reached its peak, he easily broke through the barrier.

An even more immense aura appeared within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace. This was the power of the Sacrifice Dao Realm, far stronger than that of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

At this moment, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Zhen Yuanzi were unable to withstand this powerful force, and their faces were covered in sweat.

Fortunately, this power appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. It wasn't that Dao Ancestor Hongjun actively withdrew his power, but rather that it was shielded by the power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

The originally smug Dao Ancestor Hongjun also calmed down instantly due to the manifestation of the power of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

Although he had already broken through, Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew very well that this was probably nothing to the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

However, for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, being able to fulfill his long-cherished wish, this trip to the Xuanhuang Dao Palace can be considered a complete success.

More importantly, after breaking through his realm, even when facing the increasingly terrifying Human Emperor, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had ample confidence.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun really didn't believe it. Even if Jiang Heng had comprehended so many Chaos Universe Origin Imprints, so what?

The gap between an Immortal Emperor and a Sacrificial Dao Realm cultivator is simply insurmountable by any means. As long as Jiang Heng's cultivation doesn't break through, what does Dao Ancestor Hongjun have to fear?

Even after the third trial of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace is over, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will inevitably still hold the advantage.

If an opportunity can be found to completely kill Jiang Heng, the benefits Jiang Heng gained in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace might even benefit Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

With this in mind, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared much more composed when comprehending the fourth Tongtian Stele.

With his mindset calmed down again and his realm improved, Dao Ancestor Hongjun found himself divinely aided when comprehending the fourth Tongtian Stele.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was exceptionally confident that as long as he had some more time, there would be no major problem in comprehending the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe in the fourth Tongtian Stele.

However, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's smile soon faded, because shortly after his breakthrough, countless stars once again shone with dazzling light.

When someone comprehends the primordial imprint of the chaotic universe within the Tongtian Stele, the stars will shine, and the Tongtian Stele will reveal boundless sword energy.

But this time the situation was particularly different. The light shining from all the stars was so dazzling that even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could hardly open his eyes.

Boundless sword energy soared into the sky, transforming into a colossal sword that reached the heavens, causing the entire Xuanhuang Dao Palace to tremble continuously.

On the largest star, countless strands of divine light condensed, slowly revealing an incomparably majestic figure.

At this moment, with careful observation, it is not difficult to discover that this imposing figure is none other than Chi Yuan, the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

The moment the body of Chi Yuan, the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, materialized, the colossal sword that reached the heavens also fell into Chi Yuan's hands.

With a sword in hand, a smile could be clearly seen on Chi Yuan's face, as if he was happy about something.

"Having successfully comprehended the ten thousand Heavenly Steles, you are now my personal disciple! The third trial has officially ended!"
