Volume 3 Original Chapter 10: Enlightenment
Led by the black-robed messenger, Lin Yan and others walked into a corridor full of mysterious atmosphere. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there were huge mysterious paintings hanging.
The black-robed messenger turned around and said, "There are 52 rubbings of paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor. Each painting corresponds to a Chaos Monument. Although the paintings cannot convey the aura contained in the Chaos Monument, they can still allow you to barely feel a little bit."
"Each person can only choose one Chaos Monument to observe and comprehend, so you will look at these 52 pictures... and then decide which Chaos Monument to choose."
Lin Yan glanced around.
Each picture here is a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, with a name next to the picture.
"You only have half an hour." After giving the instructions, the black-robed messenger walked out and stood at the outside of the corridor.
Time is running out and everyone starts watching the selections.
Although Lin Yan had already decided to choose the "Cosmic Chaos Monument", he was also somewhat curious about the artistic conception of other chaos monasteries.
"Um?"
Lin Yan randomly chose a large painting and started looking at it.
The pattern on it is a giant axe reaching into the sky, exuding a majestic and powerful artistic conception, and it is extremely condensed, as if the entire rubbing picture is about to be torn apart.
Even if it's just drawing.
In Lin Yan's eyes, it was as if the giant axe was swung out, and the universe was trembling and shattered under the giant axe!
Only after Feng Hou's reminder did he wake up from the mysterious and unpredictable state of mind he was in.
Lin Yan looked at the name on the picture and said, "It is indeed the strongest of the 52 Chaos Monuments, the Great Axe Chaos Monument. It is indeed amazing."
Time was limited, so he didn't think much about it and went straight to look at other pictures.
It was silent.
1,000 geniuses stared at the pictures eagerly. These pictures only conveyed a little bit of the aura of the Chaos Monument, which was enough to make them intoxicated.
The choice of this Chaos Monument is related to their future path.
If it weren't for the smart light computer reminding them, half an hour might have passed them by being so engrossed in a picture that they wouldn't have had time to make a choice.
"Okay, half an hour is up. Tell me which Chaos Monument you choose and I will record it." The black-robed messenger walked in and shouted at the geniuses in front of him.
He walked from the outermost part of the corridor to the inside, while asking every genius about their choice.
"I choose 'Yeonsan Chaos Monument'."
"I choose the 'Nine-Universe Chaos Monument'."
…
Lin Yan watched this scene calmly, his eyes sweeping across the 52 pictures. He felt that 44 of these 52 pictures were quite suitable for him. It can be said that no matter which one he chose, his cultivation efficiency would not be low.
After all, it is a treasure that guides geniuses of the human race, and the 52 Chaos Monuments are all the avenues leading to the peak.
Its inclusiveness is beyond doubt.
But among the many fundamental laws, "time" and "space" are the two strongest ones. Even if there are other options, Lin Yan must of course consider his own situation and choose the stronger one.
The black-robed envoy quickly counted the many geniuses in front and walked to Lin Yan's side.
"Which one do you choose?" asked the black-robed messenger.
"I choose "Monument of Chaos in the Universe."" Lin Yan said.
The other geniuses were already paying attention to Lin Yan's choice.
As soon as the words fell.
Many people seemed confused. Lin Yan was clearly comprehending the fundamental laws of light and time, so why did he choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument that combines time and space?
Their hearts skipped a beat when they thought of his performance in the genius battle.
This guy...could it be that he has even comprehended the laws of the origin of space?
The black-robed envoy also looked at Lin Yan with some surprise. The Universe Chaos Monument was the most difficult of the 52 Chaos Monuments. In all the previous battles of geniuses, very few people would choose this Chaos Monument.
How difficult it is to practice both time and space.
Most of these geniuses, who are ranked in the top 1,000 in the entire universe, are self-aware. If they were not very confident, no one would dare to take this path.
He nodded, and the screen on his arm recorded it instantly, and then continued to record the choices of the people behind him.
Lin Yan paid special attention to it.
Luo Feng chose the "Nine-Universe Chaos Monument", and there would be no deviation in this regard, especially when Lin Yan recommended "Time and Space Essays" at that time, he mentioned this and said that this set of books corresponds to the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument of Chaos City.
And Berlan...
He also chose the "Monument of Chaos of the Universe". Before the battle of geniuses, he had already begun to try to use the law of the origin as a springboard, trying to touch the existence of time. Naturally, he had decided to practice both time and space a long time ago.
Bolan sensed Lin Yan's gaze and looked up.
There was no expression on his handsome face.
He was dressed in white, with cold eyes, just like a tall and solitary tree that stood proudly against the frost and snow, still protecting his own pride.
Bolan's choice did not surprise Lin Yan.
Although Lin Yan knew that with Bolan's talent, choosing the same "Nine-Universe Chaos Monument" as Luo Feng would be the wisest choice, but...
Young people are always stubborn.
Perhaps Bolan was much older than himself, but his amazing talent in the laws of space and the time he spent on comprehending space had resulted in him having no friends at all from childhood to adulthood, which created his introverted personality and an absolutely proud heart.
He refuses to admit defeat.
Lin Yan quickly looked away.
This was Bolan's choice and had nothing to do with him.
…
The black-robed messenger walked to the end of the corridor and finished recording. Then he turned around and said, "I have recorded your choices and sent them out. Now follow me."
Lin Yan and others followed him and left the corridor and went deeper.
In a moment, they arrived at an empty training ground in the City Lord's Mansion, which was dozens of kilometers long and wide. 1,000 people gathered in this empty training ground.
The black-robed
"Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Monuments. Those who choose these Chaos Monuments will go directly to the entrance on the far left in front. You will be assigned to each secret room."
"The Chaos Monument of the Mountains, The Chaos Monument of the Heart, The Chaos Monument of the Dragon, and the Chaos Monument of the Universe!"
The black-robed messenger pointed to the entrance on the left side of the training ground in the distance and said, "You guys can go over there now."
Suddenly, more than eight hundred of the one thousand young people turned into streams of light and left.
Among them was Lin Yan.
The number of people who choose the "Cosmic School" is the least, so the secret training room is naturally often empty.
…
Lin Yan and others were walking in a corridor about 60 meters wide and 120 meters high. On both sides of the corridor were tall bronze doors with ancient writings on them.
"Mother", "Giant Axe", "Dragon Walk"...
In front of each bronze door stood an old man with a kind face.
They have a vertical eye between their eyebrows, and the surprising thing is... the old men in front of each bronze door look exactly the same.
"Are you the new batch of little guys from the Virtual Universe Company?" One of the three-eyed old men looked at these geniuses with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Yan said respectfully.
The three-eyed old man glanced at Lin Yan with a smile in his eyes, then looked around at everyone and said, "Haha, you are so young. Seeing you is like seeing hope for the human race."
"Please introduce yourself."
"I am the guardian of the Chaos Monument's training chamber . You can call me 'Lord Kandri'. As for the 52 training chambers, you don't need to be surprised. They are all my clones."
Wow!
As soon as the words fell.
A group of young people were looking at the three-eyed old man in front of them in shock. The 52 Chaos Steles are the three treasures of Chaos City, and their importance can be imagined. It takes one person to create 52 clones to guard them. How powerful must this three-eyed old man be!
It is definitely a Venerable-level existence!
"Lord Kendri." Lin Yan and more than 800 others saluted respectfully.
Kendri nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, whatever Chaos Monument you chose, go to the door of the corresponding training chamber."
A group of people took their positions.
At this time, the Chaos Monument practice chamber they had chosen was empty.
“Boom…”
The bronze doors began to open slowly, revealing the secret training room inside filled with chaotic air, making it impossible to see the inside clearly for a moment.
"Go in," Candre said in a low voice. "After seven days, when the door opens, you must come out immediately. Do you understand?"
"clear."
A group of people nodded and immediately entered.
But--
Lin Yan and Bolan were looking at the huge bronze door that was closed in front of them. On it were two characters in the universal language of the universe: "Universe".
There was no sign of opening for a long time.
I do not understand!
Lin Yan turned his head to look at the smiling three-eyed old man next to him. Apart from the three-eyed old man's clone, there were only him and Bolan here.
"Lin Yan."
"Bolan."
Kendri smiled and called out both of their names.
"Lord Kendri, is there anything else I can help you with?" Lin Yan roughly guessed what he meant.
"Yeah." Kendry nodded.
"The most important decision in Chaos City is to choose one of the 52 Chaos Monuments to practice with." Kandri looked at them with a smile, "In theory, my Virtual Universe Company has always respected the choices of every genius."
"But your talents are truly extraordinary!"
"So I made an exception to talk to you. I hope you can think it over carefully. You each have extraordinary talents in 'time' and 'space'. It is best for you to focus your time and energy on your own strengths."
"Lin Yan, you can choose to study the 'Ultimate Chaos Monument' about time. Bo Lan, your best choice is to study the 'Nine Universes Chaos Monument' about space."
"It is better to master than to be too ambitious. How difficult is it to control time and space at the same time? Even a Venerable-level being would have a hard time."
Kandri advised: "With your talents and the high level of comprehension of the laws, if you choose to specialize in one subject and give full play to your strengths, you may become a Venerable in the future."
Lin Yan and Bolan, as super geniuses who emerged from this genius battle, entered the original secret realm, and many people were paying attention to them.
They were all powerful beings among the immortals, and some of them were even rulers of the universe who were worried about the fall of genius.
As soon as the news of their choice of the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" spread, someone immediately sent an email to Kandri, asking Kandri to help persuade them not to go astray.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows.
Even King Tongnan did not understand his comprehension of the laws of space in detail, let alone others. Therefore, in the eyes of others, it was not surprising that his situation was similar to that of Bolan.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord Kandri." Lin Yan said respectfully, "But I have thought it through. In fact, I have already begun to comprehend the laws of space, so I am not unprepared."
Kendri looked at Lin Yan with some confusion, then nodded and looked at Bolan.
Bolan looked at Lin Yan deeply.
He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I want to give it a try."
Seeing that they had made up their minds, Kendri didn't say anything more. Boom... the ancient bronze door with the word "Universe" on it suddenly opened.
"Come in."
…
The secret training room was huge, filled with chaotic air currents.
With some anticipation, Lin Yan 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 ten pictures on it. On the edge of the Chaos Monument there is also the word "Universe", the universal language of the universe.
The first picture shows 9 raindrops, with a lightning-shaped pattern branching out into nine branches that connect them together.
The second picture shows 36 raindrops, covered with dense lightning patterns, binding them like shackles .
The third picture shows 108 raindrops, with a large number of raindrops densely packed together and lightning bolts striking from above.
The fourth picture is a star picture. Two stars are orbiting each other to form a binary star structure. There are vortex-like patterns around them, and they seem to be rotating around each other.
The fifth picture is a map of the starry sky. One hundred and thirty-six planets are revolving around each other in the void, as if they are a space-time of their own.
The sixth picture is a picture of the galaxy. Countless planets are densely packed and floating in the endless nebula dust, forming a vast and boundless galaxy.
The seventh picture looks like a strange monster.
The eighth picture shows two monsters that are still extremely strange.
The ninth picture shows countless strange monsters, too numerous to count.
In the tenth picture, the entire picture is blank, with only a small dot in the center.
From the first picture to the sixth picture, Lin Yan could feel that the first six pictures were subtly explaining the supreme origin, while the last four pictures were like pure pictures. With Lin Yan's current strength, he could not sense any mystery at all.
Lin Yan withdrew his gaze.
"I am taking the route of analyzing the essence. If I try to comprehend the following pictures in advance, it will interfere with my cultivation."
"All I can see are the first and second pictures."
Analyzing the essence is a gradual process, especially the pictures after the fourth picture. Too much comprehending will only hinder yourself.
Lin Yan first looked at the first picture. The raindrops meant space, and the lightning meant time. With his current understanding of the laws of the universe, he could see at a glance the nine simplest mysteries of space and time, which were wonderfully intertwined together.
He performed the secret method of "No Desire" and suddenly a divine light flashed across his eyes.
Divine state!
This is a secret method that can only be performed when the amplitude of telekinesis reaches 100 and the power of the soul is perfectly mastered. It can greatly increase Lin Yan's conscious computing speed, comparable to an intelligent optical computer!
Lin Yan's current mental power amplitude can only barely meet this requirement.
His spiritual consciousness was instantly immersed in the first picture. Even though he had completely understood the nine mysteries of space and time, the interweaving of time and space gave rise to infinite artistic conception in Lin Yan's consciousness.
The empty space within the crystal core.
The green-line worm clone also began to comprehend the aura rules contained in the Chaos Monument of the Universe, which could unconsciously guide others to comprehend and improve.
What Lin Yan saw were countless sword lights, attacks containing the original laws of the universe.
What the Green Line Devourer clone saw was countless Green Line Devourer worms, any part of their body could be transformed into a means of attack, like a weapon of war, launching wave after wave of offensive frenzy!
He was completely immersed in meditation and didn't notice the passage of time at all.
Seven days passed in a flash.
“Boom…”
The huge bronze door opened with a bang.
"Come out!" A voice came in and poured directly into his mind.
