The crowd responded respectfully.
"All right."
The messenger spoke at the opportune moment, "These fifty-two doors lead to their respective secret chambers. Please proceed accordingly."
The crowd dispersed, each heading towards the bronze door they had chosen.
Lin Hao, Luo Feng, and the others arrived at the bronze gate inscribed with the words "Jiuyu".
Along the way, they also encountered a young ape-man who gained an extra opportunity for enlightenment after passing the sixth level of the test and joined the team.
Luo Feng looked thoughtful, while Lin Hao already understood the reason.
Rumble~
The heavy bronze door slowly opened.
The cultivation chamber inside the gate was shrouded in chaotic air currents, making it difficult to discern the situation for a moment.
"Go in now. The gate will open in seven days, and you must come out immediately. Do you understand?"
Candri's voice rang out.
"understand!"
Everyone nodded in response.
……
Deep within the city lord's mansion lies a mysterious and unpredictable space.
Chaotic currents filled the air, and countless alien corpses were scattered across the vast land.
They come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a few meters to larger than a star.
Each one exuded a chilling, lingering oppressive aura.
In the center of the earth, a majestic figure, clad in intricate dark red ancient armor, wearing combat boots, and with a dragon tail trailing behind him, sat cross-legged in meditation.
He had a pair of fiery red horns on his forehead, and strange patterns were carved on his face, giving him an imposing presence.
Yet those calm eyes, like a vast ocean or an endless starry sky, can bring peace to one's mind.
A gentle, almost soliloquy voice echoed quietly through the chaotic ruins: "Strange, even I can't see through him..."
"Fortunately, he is a pure-blooded human, quite down-to-earth, unlike Bolan who is overly ambitious. Let's observe him further..."
Chapter 81 Anchoring Spacetime Coordinates
Inside the secret chamber of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, chaotic energy flowed and swirled.
As Lin Hao stepped inside, wisps of chaotic energy surrounded him, nourishing his spirit and body, bringing him indescribable comfort.
"This chaotic energy flow is truly wondrous."
He reached out and gently touched a wisp of air, feeling the nurturing power it contained within.
Looking into the depths, amidst the swirling chaotic air currents, a massive stone tablet appears and disappears.
The stone tablet is 100 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, and two universal characters are clearly engraved on it: Jiuyu.
The surface of the stele is covered with nine illustrations—the same in form as the rubbings seen on the walls of the corridor, but the charm and depth they contain are completely different and far beyond what the rubbings can compare to!
Before the stone tablet, several early-arriving geniuses were already sitting cross-legged in meditation, their eyes fixed on the tablet, completely immersed in their contemplation.
Lin Hao didn't dare to delay and immediately found an empty seat to sit down and concentrate on studying the stele.
The entire Nine Universes Chaos Stele is divided into nine diagrams.
First picture: A mere nine raindrops, scattered here and there.
Second picture: A light drizzle, with a total of thirty-six drops.
The third picture shows a torrential downpour, with dense raindrops, totaling 108 drops.
The fourth image is a star chart, showing a planet with four moons.
Fifth image: A star system, with one star ruling over twelve planets, each planet also having satellites of varying sizes orbiting it.
Sixth image: The Milky Way is vast, with countless stars converging into a stream, and even the Baba Towers are countless.
The seventh illustration depicts a strangely shaped beast.
Eighth picture: It depicts two strange beasts with very different appearances.
Ninth image: Countless mythical beasts gather, too numerous to count.
Lin Hao naturally knew that the first three diagrams corresponded to the 108 essential mysteries of the fundamental laws of space, and that the further he went, the more profound they became.
His mind was completely focused on the first picture of raindrops.
Although he had previously grasped part of the essence of "spatial resonance" in the "teleportation" branch of the spatial law, under the invisible guidance of the first diagram of the Chaos Stele, he instantly entered a deeper state of comprehension, and his understanding of the spatial law flowed like a clear spring, constantly deepening.
Inside the secret room, several people were engrossed in their meditation, completely forgetting the passage of time.
The seven-day period will soon be over.
Boom!
The bronze gate suddenly swung open.
Everyone was still immersed in the mysteries of the laws and remained completely unaware.
"Everyone come out!"
A majestic voice pierced straight into my mind!
"Everyone come out!"
……
The sound reverberated and boomed repeatedly in their consciousness, growing louder and louder until it instantly woke everyone up!
The excruciating buzzing sound was almost blasting my brain apart!
shhhhhh!
Lin Hao and the others rushed out of the secret room.
The moment I stepped out of the sealed room, the roar in my mind stopped abruptly, and the discomfort vanished instantly.
"Is this the end?"
"too fast!"
The group looked back at the secret chamber, their eyes filled with resentment and regret. However, the chaotic air currents inside had already obscured the stone tablet.
Lin Hao let out a long sigh, his heart filled with intense reluctance.
Countless insights and inspirations are still swirling and colliding deep within my mind; how wonderful it would be if there were just a little longer!
He felt he had almost fully grasped the meaning of the first picture!
In just seven days, he actually grasped the truth faster than he had in the previous several years!
Perhaps it was because it was his first time comprehending the Chaos Stele that he made such rapid progress, or perhaps it was due to his own profound accumulation of knowledge.
It will get harder and harder as time goes on.
However, for Lin Hao, any improvement is good.
……
Candri smiled and said, "Little ones, don't rush off yet."
"Ok?"
Everyone turned to look at the three-eyed old man.
"This is your first time comprehending the Chaos Stele. I remind you that you should first find a place to live for the next 30 years. After that, you should enter the virtual universe and apply to enter the Bridge to Heaven."
"Enter the Sky Bridge?"
Everyone was puzzled, but Lin Hao smiled slightly; he knew what was going on.
"You'll understand once you enter the virtual universe and apply to enter the Sky Bridge."
Candri smiled and said, "You can leave now."
Seeing that Kandri didn't want to say more, the group had no choice but to leave.
……
After leaving the city lord's mansion, the group dispersed and began searching for their own cultivation residences.
A beautiful woman with wings on her back stood gracefully at the entrance of the city lord's mansion; who else could it be but Ai Chen?
Chaos City covers a vast area. Except for a very few special buildings, almost all the cultivation residences are exactly the same, and the vast majority of them are uninhabited, with their gates appearing pale white.
Lin Hao glanced around, pondered for a moment, and then led the three women to choose a cultivation residence with a relatively open view as their home for the next 30 years.
For him, the insights of his predecessors were not as valuable as comprehending the secret patterns of the laws in the primordial void of the universe.
For Ai Chen and Qian Shui, the best insights came from Lin Hao.
He quickly chose his target, stood in front of the small building, and placed his hand on the door.
Drop drop!
As the sound rang out, the door's color also began to darken, changing from pale white to dark gray.
Seeing that Lin Hao had made his choice, the three women then chose the one next to him that was closest to them.
"Welcome, Master."
An electronic voice sounded.
Lin Hao went directly into the small building. The first floor was a super large living room with complete and advanced facilities.
The electronic voice continued: "I am a service AI. During the master's stay, I will serve the master. Please feel free to give me any requests, such as food and drink."
"Ah."
Lin Hao nodded, then walked up the stairs and transformed into a streak of light, instantly arriving on the rooftop.
"Let's not rush the Bridge to Heaven. I still have some inspiration left in my mind. Let's hurry up and digest the insights I gained from studying the Chaos Stele before we try to cross the Bridge to Heaven."
