Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 85, The Chaos Stele
"Close it," said the Nine Swords Venerable.

The top is closed directly.

The secret runes of laws cannot be simulated through technological means. If they could be simulated...

Therefore, there is no need to come to this 'initial universe' specifically.

“We’ll be arriving at Chaos City soon,” said the Nine Swords Venerable. “Chaos City is where those who enter the initial universe to comprehend and cultivate reside. I’m the one who brought you here, and I hope to see you all still alive in 30 years.”

Upon hearing the words of the Nine Swords Venerable, many geniuses showed confusion on their faces.

"dangerous?"

"will die?"

However, the Nine Swords Venerable did not intend to answer their questions. He left them with the words, "Listen to the reception envoy and understand the rules," and then sent all the geniuses, including Jiang Ming, out of the spaceship.

A thousand geniuses emerged from the belly hatch of the 'big fish' and appeared above an ancient city.

As soon as it appeared, Jiang Ming sensed the difference between the initial universe and the primordial universe.

A stream of chaotic energy flowed into the body, giving a feeling of extreme comfort.

It's as if it's being nurtured in the womb.

At that moment, a black streak of light flew in from afar.

"Gentlemen, I am the host of Chaos City." A deep voice rang out, and a black-robed man with blue scales covering his head flew over. He then stopped and smiled, "This city is called Chaos City, and it has existed for longer than most of the universe nations you live in! It is currently jointly managed by Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, and Universe Mercenary Alliance."

The group followed the envoy into the city and listened to his explanation.

In Chaos City, a powerful aura can be seen everywhere.

Almost every house has a powerful person inside.

Jiang Ming and his group of a thousand people entering the city naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Almost all of these gazes fell on Jiang Ming immediately.

Noticing these gazes directed at him, Jiang Ming remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression.

He had anticipated this. From the moment the mark of the law appeared on his forehead, he was destined to be the center of attention and the talk of the town wherever he went.

Meanwhile, the other geniuses also noticed that the gazes of those powerful figures were all fixed on Jiang Ming.

These powerful figures were mostly just curious, and Jiang Ming's will was no longer what it used to be, unless he was specifically targeted.

Ordinary stares wouldn't bother Jiang Ming much.

As time passed, Jiang Ming and his group, led by the receiving envoy, listened to him explain the rules of Chaos City.

"The city lord's mansion is just ahead," the black-robed envoy pointed ahead.

It was a magnificent and imposing building, over three hundred meters high. From afar, one could see the three most dazzling characters of the City Lord's Mansion—'City Lord's Mansion'. Looking at those characters, one couldn't help but be drawn inside, as if the characters themselves formed their own space and universe.

"You only need to look at the three big characters 'City Lord's Mansion' once; don't look at them too often," the receptionist said with a smile.

"This will make you feel disoriented. Even immortal beings wouldn't dare to stare at it for too long."

Jiang Ming's will is not necessarily much weaker than that of an ordinary immortal, but even he dares not look at the City Lord's Mansion too much. The mysteries contained in those three words are too high for him.

"Chaos City is the only city in the initial universe," the reception envoy said with a smile. "In Chaos City, there are three treasures."

"The first of these three treasures, as everyone knows, is naturally the law of the universe's operation, which can be seen with the naked eye," the receptionist said with a smile.

"As for the second treasure, it is inside the city, specifically in the city lord's mansion. The third treasure is outside Chaos City."

"The rooftops of the surrounding cultivation dwellings have been inhabited by powerful figures over countless millennia."

During their cultivation, they often have flashes of inspiration, which they record on the ground in front of them. They then carefully contemplate and ponder these insights, and if they gain any understanding, they will casually record it as well. "In Chaos City, this tradition has developed over countless years."

"That's what the envoy exclaimed."

"Because it was purely a casual record without any rules, many of the recordings were just fragments, so most of them could only serve as a reference at most."

"But!"

"Throughout countless years, among the records of sudden enlightenment, there are some that possess very strong and systematic cultivation value," the receiving envoy said solemnly.

"In my Chaos City, there are 52 most precious Chaos Steles, each of which records a large number of mysterious patterns and so on."
These 52 Chaos Steles represent 52 major paths of cultivation, leading directly to the ultimate peak! If one comprehends even one Chaos Stele, they will instantly become a true super being in the universe; even establishing a cosmic kingdom would be effortless.

"These 52 Chaos Steles are the second treasure of our Chaos City."

The envoy smiled.

"As for the third treasure... it's located outside Chaos City. There's a detailed description on the stone tablet at the city gate. You can find out for yourselves."

"52 Chaos Steles," the reception envoy said. "Every cultivator entering the Initial Universe has one opportunity to study them, and each person has seven days to do so!"

Following the welcoming envoy, Jiang Ming and his entourage entered the main gate of the city lord's mansion.

Walking into a dreamlike corridor, you see huge paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor.

"Fifty-two rubbings of images hang on the corridor walls, each corresponding to a Chaos Stele."

Take a look at these pictures first. Although the pictures cannot convey the aura contained in the Chaos Stele, they can still allow you to barely sense it.

Look at these 52 pictures... and then decide which Chaos Stele to choose.

You only have half an hour.

The envoy concluded.

After hearing the introduction, many geniuses immediately got to work, looking at the pictures one by one.

"Red Flame, help me record this, and remind me every thirty-four seconds."

With only half an hour allotted for selection, and 52 paintings to choose from, Jiang Ming couldn't afford to waste too much time on any one of them.

Other geniuses use a variety of selection methods. Some have a clear idea in mind and directly lock onto a picture, while others look at all the pictures in a very short time and then choose the one that interests them the most.

Most people, however, carefully examine each picture before making a decision.

"This picture?"

Jiang Ming had an epiphany from a painting.

The picture shows knife marks, each one giving a different feeling. There are a total of 10081 knife marks in the picture, and the corresponding Chaos Stele is called "Heart Mark Chaos Stele".

Standing in front of this painting, Jiang Ming felt a surge of joy and excitement.

"There are 52 pictures in total, and all of them are attractive to me."

But the "Dragon's Chaos Stele" and this "Heart's Traces Chaos Stele" attracted me the most, making me completely absorbed in them.

The painting on the Dragon Soaring Chaos Stele depicts scales and armor. Jiang Ming seemed to see the true essence of flames within it, and the fundamental laws of flames around him were boiling.

"Spacetime is a law that must be comprehended, and these two Chaos Monuments represent two ways of comprehending it."

Flames, swordsmanship.

Just as Jiang Ming was pondering, the reception envoy in the distance called out to the group.

"Alright, we'll be there in half an hour. Tell me which Chaos Stele you've chosen, and I'll record it."
