Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 94 Comprehending the Chaos Stele

The strange spaceship, resembling a large, dark blue fish, darted rapidly through the spatial passage, causing immense discomfort to the thousand geniuses due to the distorted flow of spacetime.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

After about five or six minutes, the discomfort gradually subsided.

"We have entered the initial universe. Remember, after entering Chaos City, listen to the host explain the rules of Chaos City!"

The Nine Swords Venerable, clad in purple and green robes, gave a calm instruction.

The deep blue fish continued its flight, and after delivering the thousand geniuses to the only ancient city in the initial universe, it turned and left.

The group of geniuses looked around at their surroundings, their faces filled with admiration.

"Is this the primordial universe? It's amazing! Just being here feels so comfortable; my whole soul feels relaxed!"

"Look, those spatial rifts in the sky, those strange and mysterious patterns within them, are manifestations of the laws governing the primordial universe. Observing these patterns will surely allow our understanding of the laws to advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Zhou Yang, standing in the crowd, was also amazed.

Gazing at the massive spatial rifts in the sky and the strange, interwoven patterns within them, he seemed to see a world being created and evolving. Countless strange insights surged forth, almost causing him to enter a state of sudden enlightenment on the spot!

"laugh!"

A streak of light shot over and transformed into the appearance of a man in black robes.

"I am the guide to Chaos City. Everyone, follow me. I will introduce you to the basic situation of Chaos City."

"You may choose any uninhabited courtyard in Chaos City to reside in, and none of you may disturb others during their meditation."

"Chaos City has three treasures."

The black-robed guide led 1000 geniuses along the roads of Chaos City, constantly recounting the city's rules.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of an extremely dreamlike corridor in the city lord's mansion.

Huge paintings hang on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

"There are 52 rubbings of images hanging on the corridor walls, each corresponding to a Chaos Stele. Take a look at these images first. Although the images cannot convey the aura contained within the Chaos Steles, they can still allow you to barely sense it. Look at these 52 images... and then decide which Chaos Stele you want to choose."

"That's what the black-robed messenger said."

"The Chaos Monument!"

"This is the Chaos Stele, one of the three treasures of Chaos City!"

The geniuses, including Zhou Yang, were all greatly excited.

Along the way, they had already heard the black-robed messenger describe the wonders of the Chaos Stele.

"Yoko, let's go take a look too!"

Luo Feng called out casually.

"Walk!"

Zhou Yang nodded and followed Luo Feng into the corridor.

The corridor features 52 giant paintings, each measuring a standard ten meters in length and width.

The lines in the drawings are all different; some are hazy raindrops, while others are strange knife marks.

Without exception, these seemingly simple lines contain infinite mysteries of laws.

As Zhou Yang looked at the giant paintings, almost every one of them gave him a great shock.

"Which Chaos Monument should I choose?"

He moved and came to a new picture.

The picture depicts an ancient, towering tree with withered and yellow leaves, countless of which are falling off.

Withered yellow leaves fluttered continuously from the branches, in the air, and on the ground.

These fluttering fallen leaves resemble soldiers, scattered and arranged to form military formations.

That incredibly complex military formation was composed of a hundred leaves forming a complex array of smaller formations. Adding just one more leaf would create an even more intricate and profound array!

The painting contains at least tens of thousands of leaves, and when combined, they create an array that is so complex it's almost absurd!

The moment Zhou Yang saw the painting, he was completely absorbed in it!

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele contains the fundamental mysteries and infinite evolutionary methods of the two primordial laws of wood and emptiness!"

Looking at the description next to the picture, he gradually came up with an idea.

However, he still insisted on going through all 52 pictures.

At least three or four of the paintings touched me deeply, but none of them were as impactful as the "Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele".

"I choose the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele'!"

When the black-robed guide was taking the count, he stated his choice without hesitation.

"I have recorded your choices. Now follow me."

After tallying everyone's choices, the black-robed guide led them to an extremely spacious training ground.

"Currently, there are 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 of people before him. "Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Steles: Yanshan Chaos Stele, Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele."

"Those who have chosen these 40 Chaos Steles, you may now go and study them. I will take you there first, and the rest of you will wait where you are."

A moment later, the six young geniuses, including Zhou Yang, were led to a huge bronze gate.

In front of the bronze gate, a kind-faced, three-eyed old man stood smiling.

"Lord Candry!"

Zhou Yang and his group of six bowed to the guide.

"Um."

The three-eyed old man smiled as he looked at everyone, his gaze lingering briefly on Zhou Yang.

"There's no one in the secret room right now, you can go in!"

"Rumble~~~"

The bronze gate slowly opened, and a large amount of chaotic energy swirled in the secret chamber behind it.

Zhou Yang and the others quickly entered the secret room.

In the center of this secret chamber, a huge stone tablet, hundreds of meters high and nearly hundreds of meters wide, stands tall, with wisps of chaotic energy swirling around it.

Nine huge pictures are engraved on this stone tablet.

The first picture is a typical picture of fallen leaves, with nine withered yellow leaves slowly drifting down from mid-air!

The second picture is a picture of falling leaves. Thirty-six fallen leaves seem to be blown by the wind, gently swaying and forming a mysterious pattern.

The third picture is a picture of flying leaves, with a total of 108 withered yellow leaves flying in the sky, presenting an extremely complex and mysterious artistic conception.

The ninth picture depicts an incredibly majestic ancient tree that seems to pierce the sky, with countless fallen leaves swirling around it. The content is so obscure and complex that it's almost bizarre.

Of the nine pictures, the first two had the greatest impact on Zhou Yang.

At a glance, countless insights immediately arise in one's mind.

As for the following seven images, it is by no means to say that they are not powerful.

On the contrary, it was precisely because the profound mysteries they contained were far too powerful for Zhou Yang to comprehend at present that he seemed to feel nothing.

"The opportunity presented by the Chaos Stele is too rare to pass up; we should give it our all!"

Zhou Yang sat down cross-legged in front of the Chaos Stele.

With a thought, half of his consciousness, which had been scattered in the Meteor Tear space to cultivate the 'Three Souls Nine Refinements' seal technique, instantly returned.

"Boom!"

The moment this consciousness returned, it was as if a monstrous wave surged within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The surging spiritual power surged wildly, causing the majestic three-story pagoda in the sea of ​​consciousness to shake continuously.

During the three years of his journey, he constantly devoted half of his consciousness to cultivating the "Three Souls Nine Refinements" method.

Each time he practices, his total spiritual power and strength increase slightly.

Over the past three years, he has practiced this hand seal more than ten thousand times.

Now, he can barely form 105 hand seals, and his mental strength has surged to an exaggerated level.

In his perception, the total amount and quality of his spiritual power now is more than five or six times greater than it was three years ago!

When such powerful spiritual energy is used entirely to comprehend the Chaos Stele, the efficiency can only be described as "inhuman"!

When he looked at the first picture on the Chaos Stele again, he felt that the nine withered yellow leaves in the picture seemed to move.

One by one, the leaves fluttered down, their trajectories constantly changing.

Each change of position seems to present a new artistic conception.

Different moods and moods constantly shifted and intertwined, gradually evolving into a more complex whole.

Zhou Yang and the other five were so engrossed in their understanding of the Chaos Stele that they were completely unaware of the passage of time.

Sudden--

"Come out, everyone!"

A voice entered the minds of the six people and echoed continuously in their minds.

Zhou Yang and the others were instantly awakened and rushed out of the secret room.

"It's over already? That was so fast! It feels like I just went in!"

"That feeling is so wonderful, I wish I could keep meditating on it forever!"

Several geniuses were reluctant to leave.

Even Zhou Yang looked like he hadn't had enough.

Seeing their expressions, Lord Kandri smiled slightly.

"Want to continue studying the Chaos Stele? Then hurry up and challenge the Bridge to Heaven!"
