Chapter 155 The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele
All thirteen people made their choices. In fact, any Chaos Stele could guide them to the pinnacle of success. The only difference was the time efficiency; the more suitable one would be more effective.
After the black-robed envoy finished recording, he smiled and said, "I have recorded and sent out your choices. Come with me and begin your first comprehension."
Gao Sheng and the others followed the black-robed envoy through the corridor and continued deeper. After a short while, they arrived at a spacious training ground in the city lord's mansion, which was tens of kilometers long and wide.
"That leads to the location of the Chaos Stele." The black-robed envoy pointed into the distance, to the left at the end of the training ground, where there was an entrance nearly thirty meters high.
"However, someone is currently studying the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, and it is strictly forbidden to open the secret chamber to disturb them while they are studying. So... we can only wait until they finish studying." The black-robed envoy turned to look at the crowd. "The four of you who chose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele will need to wait here for three days. The rest of you, the Chaos Steles you chose are not being studied by anyone right now, so come with me."
The three realm lords and one immortal could only helplessly watch as the black-robed envoy led the other nine people into the entrance.
The city lord's mansion is vast and magnificent. After entering the entrance, one passes through a series of huge buildings and finally enters a corridor that is 60 meters wide and 120 meters high. On both sides of this corridor are tall bronze gates, each of which is about 160 meters long and 120 meters high, and each bronze gate has ancient characters on it.
And in front of each bronze gate stands a kind-looking old man.
Strangely, every old man in front of the bronze gate looked exactly the same.
A moment later, the black-robed messenger arrived at the bronze gate inscribed with the two large characters "Mother Ancestor".
"Lord Kandri," the black-robed messenger bowed.
"Hmm." The three-eyed old man smiled at the nine people behind him. "Are they all newcomers?"
"Yes." The black-robed envoy was extremely respectful. "There are thirteen newcomers: two from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, one from the Cosmic First Bank, one from the Giant Axe Arena, and the rest from various cosmic nations."
The black-robed envoy then turned to Gao Sheng and the others, "This is Lord Kandri, the guardian of the Chaos Stele Cultivation Chambers. The 52 Chaos Stele Cultivation Chambers in front of these chambers... are all avatars of Lord Kandri. Lord Kandri has been guarding these 52 chambers for over a million epochs and is a respected powerhouse in our Chaos City."
"Lord Kandri." Gao Sheng and the other nine bowed respectfully, many of them unable to hide their shock.
"Okay, there's no one at the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele. Gao Sheng, you can go in now. The rest of you, continue forward," Kandri said with a smile.
Clearly, he has already obtained information about these newcomers.
"Rumble..." The entire bronze gate slowly began to open, and the cultivation chamber inside was filled with chaotic air currents, making it impossible to see inside for a moment.
Gao Sheng bowed again and then entered.
The cultivation chamber was enormous, filled with swirling chaotic energy. Deep within this chaotic energy, a massive stone tablet could be faintly seen encircling it: "Is that the Mother Ancestor's Chaos Tablet?"
Gao Sheng quickly approached and came directly to the front of the stone tablet. The stone tablet was hundreds of meters wide and tall, and its surface had only one picture, which filled the entire stone tablet.
An ancient, towering tree is shedding countless withered yellow leaves. These leaves, floating in mid-air, appear to be moving, yet the overall picture remains unchanged.
Having seen the rubbings, Gao Sheng naturally already knew about the Chaos Stele.
But only when you stand before this real Chaos Stele do you truly understand its wonder.
Gao Sheng first noticed the tens of thousands of fallen leaves.
"What appear to be withered, yellow leaves actually possess five colors, each emitting white, black, blue, red, and yellow light respectively. Five colors? Could they correspond to the elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth?"
"Could it be that the Mother Ancestor's Chaos Stele contains the Five Elements Laws simultaneously?"
Gao Sheng shifted his gaze to the thick tree trunk in the center of the picture. The entire picture was only about ninety meters long, but the straight tree trunk alone occupied almost forty meters.
Starting from the base of the tree trunk, nine strange lines spiral upwards, each line incredibly fine and intricate. After ascending for a short while, they fork into thirty-six lines, then upwards again into one hundred and eight lines. These 108 lines then intertwine intricately upwards, subtly weaving various peculiar patterns, extending all the way to the top of the tree's crown, where they converge with all the branches. The entire crown faintly reveals the image of a monster, making Gao Sheng feel dizzy just looking at it.
"It seems that things get more complex and profound as you go higher up. Is that why?"
Gao Sheng shifted his gaze and stared intently at the roots of the large tree.
In an instant, his mind and consciousness were completely immersed in it. The nine strange patterns seemed to rush into Gao Sheng's consciousness, twisting and intertwining, and then began to change, evolving into infinite artistic conceptions.
Boom! A fire dragon appeared in Gao Sheng's consciousness, raging and soaring, each swipe of its claws, each turn, each flick of its tail carrying a peculiar charm...
Then the fire dragon transformed into nine throwing knives, launching wave after wave of combined attacks, with a strange connection between the nine knives...
Before long, the situation changed again, with sword energy crisscrossing and various mysterious techniques manifesting one after another on their own...
Different strengths lead to different outcomes.
However, all paths lead to the same destination! As the supreme treasure of the entire human race in the universe, each Chaos Stele is infinitely mysterious, and the aura and rules contained within can unknowingly guide others to comprehend and improve.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Sheng suddenly woke up.
"So it's the law of space... Hmm? Almost five days have passed?"
Suddenly, Gao Sheng was shocked: "I actually woke up on my own in less than seven days?"
"Could it be because my consciousness has reached the Star Sea Realm?"
Because subconsciously, Gao Sheng's first attempt to comprehend the Chaos Stele of the Mother Ancestor was to gain a preliminary understanding of all aspects of it. Surprisingly, while he was immersed in comprehending the laws of space, he felt the passage of time and detached himself from it.
"Well, there are still more than two days left. Let's look at the others." Gao Sheng looked at the trunk of the big tree and reluctantly looked away.
"The laws governing this Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele become increasingly profound from bottom to top."
Gao Sheng looked at the falling leaves.
There are leaves on the branches, fallen leaves are falling in the air, and there are also leaves on the ground, one of which is faintly glowing red.
"This should be fire-type." Gao Sheng focused all his attention on examining it closely.
Buzz! The leaf magnified in Gao Sheng's eyes, and his entire mind was instantly immersed in it. Apart from the leaf, he could not feel anything else.
The leaves rapidly evolved within consciousness... Then, unknowingly, more leaves entered the ascending consciousness and joined the evolution.
Buzzing... Hundreds of fallen leaves, in Gao Sheng's consciousness, transformed into sword techniques, movement skills, throwing knives, and fire dragons...
……
"Rumble..." The bronze gate opened with a loud crash, but Gao Sheng was still lost in the imagery of falling leaves.
"Come out! Come out! Come out!"
A voice came in and resounded directly in Gao Sheng's mind.
"Is it over?" Gao Sheng woke up with a start.
As Gao Sheng walked out of the bronze gate, he reluctantly looked back at the cultivation chamber, but the chaotic energy inside made it impossible to see the Chaos Stele clearly.
"Lord Kandri!" Before the bronze gate, Gao Sheng respectfully bowed to the guardian and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment," Guardian Kandri said with a smile.
"Um?"
"You are a core member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. I remind you that as a core member of the five major forces, you gained the right to enter the 'Bridge to Heaven' after your first comprehension of the Chaos Stele."
"Yes." Gao Sheng understood.
"You can first find a place to stay for your cultivation over the next 30 years, and then enter the virtual universe as soon as possible to apply for entry into the Bridge to Heaven," Kander said with a smile. "Alright, go ahead."
Since Gao Sheng didn't ask, Kandri naturally didn't explain either.
Gao Sheng bowed again and left.
……
"Get to the Sky Bridge as soon as possible?" Gao Shengfei pondered as he flew low over Chaos City, searching for a place to stay. "Is this considered reconnaissance?"
"Where should I choose as my residence for the next 30 years? Hmm, I'll just pick any place for now. As long as no one lives there, I can change places whenever I want."
Gao Sheng found an uninhabited house that was relatively close to the central street of Chaos City and placed his hand on the white door.
"Beep beep..." The sound rang out, and at the same time, the color of the door began to gradually darken, from light white to dark gray, and then it stopped changing.
"Welcome, Master," an electronic voice announced.
Gao Sheng entered the cultivation residence.
This residence is a three-story building. Although it is called a small building, it is quite large, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. After all, some people are not small in size, so it is very large for Gao Sheng.
The first floor is a huge living room with incredibly advanced and complete facilities. The electronic voice continued to sound: "I am the service AI. During the master's stay, I will serve the master. Master, please feel free to order whatever you need, such as food, drink, etc."
"Hmm." Gao Sheng sat down on the sofa, directly connected to the virtual universe, appeared in his villa on Lucky Island, and sent a call request.
After a while, Luo Feng appeared in the light screen.
"Gao Sheng, you've arrived in Chaos City?" Luo Feng, whose hair was disheveled, appeared on the screen. Gao Sheng had never seen him look so unkempt before.
"Yes," Gao Sheng laughed, "I've even finished comprehending the first Chaos Stele."
"Where are you? I'm coming right away," Luo Feng said.
"This is residence number 0045875525."
On the rooftop of his residence, Gao Sheng looked up at the sky when a streak of light flew over quickly. It was Luo Feng, with black hair and red armor.
"Promotion!"
"Luo Feng! Hahahaha..."
In the living room on the first floor, Gao Sheng took out some fine wine, and Luo Feng lay comfortably on the sofa.
"Is this Dragon's Breath Wine, a specialty of Heilong Mountain? It's been so long since I've had it..." Luo Feng downed it in one gulp. "That's strong."
"I never imagined that we brothers would reunite again in Chaos City. Life is truly amazing." Luo Feng put down his wine glass. "The last time we met in reality was when we left the Realm Within a Realm, more than ten years ago."
"You're in Chaos City! It's been twenty-six years in the original universe," Gao Sheng said.
"It's a pity I can't attend your wedding with Nansi."
Gao Sheng poured more wine, saying, "We brothers are still talking about these things; do you even think you can come?"
Luo Feng swirled his wine glass and asked, "Have you gone to see the Chaos Stele? Which one did you choose?"
"I chose the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele."
"Oh? I chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele. This Chaos Stele is indeed magical... You haven't been to the Bridge to Heaven yet, have you?"
"I'm getting ready to go, ha... but I just saw the Chaos Stele, no rush, I'll talk about it in a few days."
Luo Feng smiled. "Yes, I just saw the Chaos Stele. I must try to understand and digest it while it's still fresh in my mind, and not waste time. I won't bother you any longer."
In less than ten minutes, Luo Feng took his leave. The opportunity to cultivate in Chaos City was rare, and he couldn't waste it on idle chatter.
