Chapter 630 The Ultimate Textbook

Taoist monument?

Su Ping looked up at the stone tablet, which stretched as far as the eye could see and resembled a giant sword-shaped mountain peak. A sense of vastness and antiquity washed over him, giving him the feeling of overlooking the entire universe.

Vast, empty, and lonely!

The stele seemed to be shrouded in mist, with nothing on it, yet it also seemed to contain the stars and cosmos!

There was an indescribable yet incredibly strange feeling in Su Ping's eyes as he gazed at the stone tablet, feeling as if he had grasped something, yet also as if he had grasped nothing at all.

"Dog...System, what is this stele?" Su Ping asked in his mind.

"Don't test my limits!" the system said grimly.

Su Ping asked blankly, "What did you say?"

"Hmph, you know it yourself!" The system snorted coldly, ceasing its argument with Su Ping, and said in a chilling voice, "This stele, like gods and demons, is something born from the primordial chaos. However, gods and demons are living beings, while this stele is an inanimate object, yet it contains the principles of the universe!"

"By understanding the Dao Stele, one can understand all the great principles of the world!"

"However, deciphering the Dao Stele is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even the three Golden Crow Clan elders in front of you do not have this ability."

Su Ping was stunned.

This monument before us... contains all the great principles of the universe?

Doesn't this mean that this monument is the ultimate textbook?!

"That's one way to understand it," the system said.

"..."

That peeping tom...

"However, to comprehend this stele, one needs at least a Starry Sky level cultivation to be even remotely qualified. Otherwise, not only will you not understand it, but even if you do understand it, you might be overwhelmed by the profound mysteries of the Great Dao on it, causing your brain to explode!" the system said calmly, ignoring Su Ping's reaction.

Considering its introduction, Su Ping didn't bother to pursue the matter of it spying anymore. Anyway, it had been going on for more than a day or two, and he had gotten used to it...

"You said that even these three Golden Crow Clan elders couldn't decipher it, so does that mean that if one could decipher this stele, their cultivation would be even stronger than theirs?" Su Ping wondered to himself.

The system calmly replied, "Of course."

Su Ping took a light breath.

These three Golden Crow Elders are absolutely terrifying creatures. They could probably destroy Blue Star hundreds of times over in a matter of minutes. The abyss disaster that Blue Star is currently facing could be extinguished with a single breath from creatures of this level!

And this stele in front of us is a treasure that can directly lead to heaven!

Unfortunately, it requires understanding!

"That's right. If you have poor comprehension, even if you sleep with the Dao Stele for ten thousand years, you still won't understand it," the system said.

"..."

System: "Heh."

……

"What are you thinking about?"

A figure appeared beside them; it was Di Qiong. A strange look appeared in its eyes as it curiously looked at Su Ping.

Seeing Su Ping lost in thought, it suddenly wondered what was going on in this human's head.

Su Ping's previous behavior had changed its initial contempt for this human into curiosity and a desire to investigate.

"I don't know what to have for dinner," Su Ping said casually, snapping out of his reverie.

Di Qiong choked for a moment and glared at him.

Humans are truly despicable!

"Now, let's begin the test, in groups of ten," the Golden Crow Elder's voice echoed beneath the massive tree canopy.

Upon hearing the words of the Golden Crow Elder, the young Golden Crows exchanged bewildered glances.

Soon, several golden crows stepped out and flew towards the stele.

Seeing this, the other golden crows also flew out one after another.

After ten golden crows had flown out, the others that were preparing to take off had to stop and obey the rules.

These ten golden crows flew to the Dao Stele and each released its own Dao intent. The first Dao released by each golden crow was the Dao of Flame!

One after another, fiery Dao skills, containing profound mysteries, were released towards the Dao Stele, and then, as if sinking into mud, they disappeared into the Dao Stele. Immediately afterwards, at the Dao Stele where the ten Golden Crow skills were released, golden and shimmering flame Dao patterns appeared, signifying that the first Dao pattern had been lit!

For Golden Crows, the ability to generate heat is innate, as simple as humans being born knowing how to eat and drink. Only a very small number of "problem Golden Crows" don't even know how to generate heat.

Besides the Flame Dao, the young Golden Crows released other Dao intents.

Some skills contain dark, destructive energy; some golden crows unleash intense lightning; and some golden crows create a mountain out of thin air…

As one skill after another was unleashed into the Dao Stele, Dao patterns began to appear on the stele in front of the ten golden crows.

Su Ping looked up, not in a hurry to take the test, but wanted to see how these golden crows were tested.

"These are all legendary, top-tier skills!"

Su Ping was secretly shocked. These young golden crows were too strong. The skills they released had the destructive power of a peak Heavenly Fate cultivator, and they could release several different types of skills.

One of the golden crows actually unleashed five different types of skills, illuminating five Dao patterns!

"As expected of a born god or demon, such combat power would definitely be top-tier on Earth. It would probably easily annihilate those from the Other Shore. And this... is actually a child!"

Su Ping inwardly complained, "These golden crows are really terrifying!"

Soon, the first batch of Golden Crows completed their trials.

Some golden crows faded away in disappointment, while others returned in triumph.

Of the ten golden crows, nine passed, and only one failed.

Those who stepped forward to participate in the trial at the first opportunity all had extremely strong self-confidence. The defeated Golden Crow seemed to lack sufficient Dao intent when it lit up the third Dao pattern. No matter how many skills it used to bombard the Dao monument, it could not stir up the Dao pattern on the Dao monument and could only end in disappointment.

Are you going?

Di Qiong turned to Su Ping and asked, a glint of light in his eyes, as if he were expecting something.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Let's take a look first."

He wasn't in a hurry to go; as long as he could pass the trial, he didn't care about the results.

Moreover, he did gain something from watching these Golden Crow tests; he gained insights from many of the Golden Crows' displays of Dao intent through their skills.

Skills are the carriers of the Dao. Normally, it is difficult to glimpse the Dao through skills, but now, perhaps because he is close to this Dao stele, Su Ping's mind has become incredibly clear and active. He can feel the Dao intent released by each golden crow. Some of the Dao intents make him feel a sense of awe and wonder.

"It wouldn't be bad to be able to learn a thing or two."

Su Ping thought to himself that this trip was worthwhile. Even if he didn't get the materials for the second level of the Divine Demon Body, he would have no regrets.

As the first group of golden crows finished, the second group of golden crows couldn't wait to take off, eager to show themselves, no longer hesitant and timid like the first group.

In the blink of an eye, ten golden crows rushed out from the second group. Some of them flew into the air, but when they realized that they were too slow and had to fly back after the tenth one, they had no choice but to turn around and fly back.

The second group of Golden Crows' trials were equally exciting, and even more intense than the first group. All ten Golden Crows passed, with the lowest scorer lighting up three Dao patterns!

Three of them had all lit up four Dao patterns!

One more, light up five!

"These golden crows have all mastered different Daos, and their understanding of them is quite profound. I wonder how terrifying the adult golden crows will be..."

The more Su Ping looked, the more amazed he became. These young golden crows not only had a terrifying understanding of the Dao of Fire, but they were also quite proficient in the understanding of other Daos.

When these skills are unleashed, their power is at the Heavenly Destiny level!

Seeing the tests of these young golden crows, Su Ping suddenly thought of his second dog, who could be considered a dog with all kinds of skills.

Unfortunately, the skills it comprehended only reached the strength of the Vast Ocean Realm at most. If it could all be upgraded to the strength of the Heavenly Fate Realm in the future, I wonder if that would be considered as having entered the Dao of all elements.

"Looks like I'll have to practice it more!"

Su Ping thought to himself.

In the summoning space, Er Gou, who was resting, suddenly shivered and felt a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

As time passed, more and more of the young Golden Crows completed their trials.

Among them, the young Golden Crow of the He Clan, who was hostile to Su Ping and also attracted much attention, also completed the test. The Dao patterns it lit up were six, the most so far!

However, not long after the young Golden Crow of the He family lit up, another young Golden Crow performed even better, lighting up eight Dao patterns!

The announcement of this result caused an uproar in the audience.

Su Ping heard the chirping sounds around him and barely understood their meaning through his divine sense. He discovered that the young golden crows that lit up eight Dao patterns were not the ones that had attracted much attention in the previous two trials, but rather those that had performed only moderately before. However, they suddenly rose to prominence in this trial.

"You're really unbalanced in your studies..."

Su Ping thought to himself.

With eight runes lit up, it's almost the entire series!

However, what puzzled Su Ping was that the eight Dao patterns lit up by this young golden crow were not the core elemental Daos he understood, such as the Dao of Flame, Dao of Water, Dao of Thunder, Dao of Light, and Dao of Darkness. There were other peculiar Dao patterns mixed in.

"There are countless paths, and it's not only the basic Great Path that can illuminate the Dao patterns," the system said. "The basic Great Path encompasses countless minor paths. Mastering a minor path can also be considered a Great Path! For example, the power amplification and low-level divine speed amplification you possess belong to the Dao! Their principle is the operation of the Dao!"

"..."

Su Ping was already numb to the system's spying. Hearing it say this, he felt a little smug and asked curiously, "So, does that mean my power amplification and low-level divine speed amplification are already two separate paths? If I squeeze out one more, I can easily pass through?!"

"Squeeze out..."

The system twitched slightly at Su Ping's choice of words and snorted coldly, "Try it yourself. However, the Dao you have mastered is indeed enough to pass. This third trial is not difficult for you. The only difficult one is the first trial. However, you have already passed the first trial in these ten days of cultivation. Just wait for the trial to end and for the Golden Crow Clan to unleash your potential."

Seeing that the system said so, Su Ping was completely relieved. He looked up at the Golden Crow Elder and wondered if the Golden Crow Clan would be willing to help an outsider like me.

Shaking his head, not thinking too much about it, and seeing that the Golden Crow trial was about to end, Su Ping didn't wait any longer and went out.
