Chapter 168 The Primordial Chaos Stele
"The Chen Yuan you're talking about, is it the little guy I met two and a half years ago?"
"How is this possible?"
Luo Feng took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He was deeply impressed by Chen Yuan, after all, he was a genius boy who could create "The New Chapter of the Beginning" at the planetary level.
But no matter how talented the other person was, at that time he was just a little guy who had just entered the planetary level!
But now Babata says that the other side has already entered Chaos City?
"It's been two and a half years for you, but eight years have passed for the rest of the world."
Babata corrected, "But it really is that little guy. Judging from the situation, he is at least at the ninth level of the Hengxing level, and may even have broken through to the cosmic level."
"That's quite an exaggeration," Luo Feng couldn't help but say. "Babata, you know how powerful the opportunities I've had along the way have been."
"Even for me, it took more than ten years to cultivate from the planetary level to where I am today."
"But Chen Yuan has been cultivating for less than ten years. Is that reasonable?"
"Existence is its own justification," Babata said solemnly. "Luo Feng, you must always maintain awe for the universe. In this vast universe, anything can happen."
"Perhaps that kid named Chen Yuan has had some amazing adventure, or perhaps he is just naturally gifted," Babata comforted Luo Feng, "You should take this matter with a calm mind."
"—You're right, Babata."
After a moment, Luo Feng had calmed down, but he still couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "That kid Chen Yuan is my son's good friend. He even calls Wei Wen 'uncle'! I never expected him to come to Chaos City in the blink of an eye."
"No, since he's here, as a senior and elder, I have to meet him."
Luo Feng immediately got up, preparing to head to the City Lord's Mansion, but was quickly stopped by Babata: "Don't rush, Chen Yuan and the others just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and they're probably selecting the Chaos Stele right now. It's not appropriate for you to go there now."
"Let's contact him again after he finishes comprehending the Chaos Stele."
Upon hearing Babata's advice, Luo Feng thought it made sense.
Comprehending the Chaos Stele is a major life event and should not be disturbed.
"You're right, then let's wait a bit longer." Luo Feng nodded and said, "Babata, keep an eye on things for me, I'm going to continue studying the Bloodstained Manual."
"no problem!"
Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion, Chen Yuan had already finished looking at the 52 rubbings of the Chaos Stele.
"From what I can see, the most suitable one for me is the 'Wind Shadow Chaos Stele,' followed by the 'Primordial Chaos Stele.' With half an hour approaching, Chen Yuan thought to himself, 'The Wind Shadow Chaos Stele, based on my observation, starts with the Law of Wind and combines it with the Law of Time, vaguely showing a fusion of laws, but it only has 21...'"
layer."
"As for the Primordial Chaos Stele, it is a chaos stele purely related to the laws of time, and like the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, it has 27 layers."
One seems to expound on the fusion of the laws of wind and time, while the other is purely a law of time. To be honest,
He wanted to choose both of the Chaos Monuments.
Soon, the half-hour observation period ended, and the black-robed envoy began to register everyone's choices one by one.
When it was Chen Yuan's turn, the envoy asked, "Which Chaos Stele do you choose?"
"I choose the Primordial Chaos Stele!" Chen Yuan answered solemnly.
In fact, Chen Yuan had just realized this—that the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele only has 21 levels, which only corresponds to the level of a Universe Venerable.
If it's not even the Lord of the Universe, then the so-called Wind-Time Fusion Law is just a mirage, something you can see but can't touch!
Apart from the Wind and Time Fusion Law, the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele was not nearly as attractive to him as the Primordial Chaos Stele.
After all, he had the guidance of Shanghou's insights on the Law of Wind, so he didn't need the Chaos Stele's assistance at all.
Only the complete laws of time represented by the Primordial Chaos Stele, which even the memories of the Marquis of Shang cannot reach, are of greater value to Chen Yuan.
Moreover, the "Chenguang" secret manual he cultivated was originally created to complement the Primordial Chaos Stele; only by combining the two can it achieve its maximum effect.
The black-robed messenger quickly finished recording everyone's choices and then said, "I have sent out your choices. Now follow me."
The group followed the black-robed envoy out of the corridor and continued deeper into the city lord's mansion, soon arriving at a vast and empty training ground.
In the empty training ground, 100 geniuses stood in neat rows, their eyes focused on the black-robed envoy in front of them.
"Little ones, you're lucky. The Chaos Steles you chose are currently empty, so you can go straight in."
The black-robed envoy smiled and said, "Now, come with me. The secret chamber where the Chaos Stele is stored is just ahead."
As he spoke, he led everyone to an entrance on the left side of the training ground, which led to a long corridor.
On both sides of the corridor are secret chambers containing the Chaos Stele.
Coincidentally, the Primordial Chaos Stele that Chen Yuan chose was located in the first secret chamber.
"Lord Kandri," the black-robed envoy bowed to a three-eyed old man, "these are the core geniuses of this internal promotion, seven of whom have chosen the Primordial Chaos Stele."
The messenger introduced the three-eyed old man to the crowd, explaining that he was none other than Kandri, the guardian of the 52 Chaos Monuments. He possessed countless clones, with one of them guarding each Chaos Monument's chamber, a tradition that had lasted for over a million epochs.
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Kandri."
"Alright, you are all the hope of the future human race, no need for formalities." The three-eyed elder, Kander, smiled and then said, "There is no one in the secret chamber of the Primordial Chaos Stele right now, you may go in."
As Kander finished speaking, the bronze gate behind him slowly opened.
"During the period of studying the Chaos Stele, you must not disturb others; those who violate this rule will be disqualified from this opportunity to study."
Kandri explained the rules to everyone: "Seven days later, the gate will open, which will signify the end of this enlightenment session."
Chen Yuan and the others nodded, and then entered the secret chamber one after another. With a "boom", the bronze door behind them closed, and the entire secret chamber fell into silence.
"This is the Primordial Chaos Stele."
After approaching the Chaos Stele, Chen Yuan consciously found a quiet corner.
Everyone kept the rules in mind and no one spoke, for fear of being kicked out for disturbing others. They all kept a great distance between each other before beginning their meditation.
Then, Chen Yuan focused his gaze on the enormous Chaos Stele.
He had already seen the general design of the Primordial Chaos Stele when he was selecting it in the corridor. The first three designs were of fallen leaves, depicting 9, 36, and 108 leaves respectively.
As for the subsequent patterns, they are very similar to the "Nine Universes" Chaos Stele described in the original work. The fourth to sixth patterns are star river patterns, and the seventh to ninth patterns are monster patterns.
"It seems that the laws of time and space do indeed have something in common, to the point that even their ways of expression are so similar."
The thought flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, but he didn't delve into it. After all, the most important thing now was to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
"I have only cultivated the second level of the 'Dawn' Secret Manual, and I am still within the scope of the first picture."
"Therefore, I don't need to worry about the later pictures; I can focus on understanding the first one, the 'Fallen Leaves' picture."
Chen Yuan turned his gaze to the first painting of fallen leaves, where only nine leaves conveyed an image of desolation.
It seems that even the most brilliant life will eventually wither away under the passage of time.
His mind gradually became absorbed in it, and in his sea of consciousness, Chen Yuan's consciousness suddenly appeared, holding a long sword.
They began practicing the second level of the "Chenguang" secret manual's sword technique.
As the exercises progressed, he gained a completely new understanding of the essence of the three laws in the second layer. Inspiration flowed like a spring, and his efficiency was several times higher than when he was comprehending the first layer on the spaceship!
Unfortunately, the time was too short. After seven days, the massive bronze gate behind them slowly and rumbled open.
What followed was Kander's ear-piercing voice.
"Come out, everyone!"
"Come out!"
"Come out!"
Compared to the others, Chen Yuan was more experienced. He woke up the moment Kander shouted the first time and immediately came outside the secret room.
A few seconds later, he saw the others running out, covering their ears and looking pained.
"The little guy has a good temperament; he broke free from the influence of the Chaos Stele's artistic conception so easily."
The three-eyed old man's tone was slightly surprised, as if he hadn't expected Chen Yuan to break free from the immersive state of mind so easily on his first viewing of the Chaos Stele, without even needing his "help".
"We have something similar at our branch in my hometown," Chen Yuan smiled slightly. "I'm used to it."
"Haha, very good."
Kandri nodded in satisfaction, then reminded the seven people present, "This is your first time here, so I'll remind you that once you've found your own place to stay, remember to apply for the 'Bridge to Heaven' in the virtual universe."
Chen Yuan naturally knew what the Tongtian Bridge was, and nodded, saying, "Understood, thank you for reminding me, Lord Kander."
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Chen Yuan randomly chose a place to stay and prepared to enter the virtual universe to take on the Bridge to Heaven challenge.
But just then, Irene suddenly said, "Master, you have a communication request from Luo Feng."
"Luo Feng?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised and immediately said, "Connect."
"Chen Yuan, I didn't expect you to come to Chaos City."
On the virtual screen, Luo Feng smiled warmly: "You should have finished studying the Chaos Stele by now. Where do you live? Let's talk in person."
