Chapter 37 The Cosmic Chaos Monument

Led by the black-robed messenger, Lu Ming and the others walked into a corridor filled with a mysterious atmosphere. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there were huge mysterious paintings hanging.

The black-robed messenger turned around and said, "There are 52 rubbings of images hanging on the walls of the corridor. Each image corresponds to a Chaos Stele. Although the images cannot convey the aura contained in the Chaos Stele, they can still allow you to barely sense it."

"Each person can only choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend, so look at these 52 pictures... and then decide which Chaos Stele to choose."

Lu Ming glanced at it.

Each picture here is a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, and each picture has a name next to it.

"You only have half an hour." After giving his instructions, the black-robed messenger walked out and stood at the very end of the corridor.

With time running out, everyone began to watch and make their choices.

Lu Ming randomly chose the picture closest to him to look at. It was a picture of yellow fallen leaves, with countless leaves seemingly forming military formations. "This Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, although very mysterious, does not match my nature."

"Next." Lu Ming walked up to a new large painting.

The image above depicts a savage wielding a giant axe that seems to cleave the heavens and the earth. The savage swings the axe as if it possesses the power to create the universe, causing the cosmos to tremble and crumble under its power!

The artistic conception and power emanating from this painting are incredibly refined and powerful; a single image is enough to stir his mind.

The Chaos Stele corresponding to this image is called the "Giant Axe Chaos Stele".

With limited time, Lu Ming didn't think too much about it and went straight to look at the other pictures.

A silence.

The 1000 geniuses stared eagerly at the paintings, which only conveyed a hint of the Chaos Stele, yet they were already captivated by them.

The choice of this Chaos Stele will determine their future path.

If it weren't for the intelligent computer reminding them, they might have been so engrossed in a picture that half an hour would have passed without them having time to choose.

"Alright, we'll be there in half an hour. Tell me which Chaos Stele you choose, and I'll record it." The black-robed envoy walked in and called out to the geniuses before him.

He walked from the outermost part of the corridor inwards, asking each genius about their choices.

"I choose the Yanshan Chaos Stele."

"I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

……

Lu Ming calmly watched this scene, his gaze sweeping over the 52 paintings. He felt that several of these paintings were quite suitable for him, and it could be said that no matter which one he chose, his cultivation efficiency would not be low.

After all, they are treasures that guide geniuses among the human race; the 52 Chaos Steles are all the pathways to the pinnacle.

Its inclusiveness is beyond doubt.

However, considering personal compatibility, Lu Ming made the choice that best suited him at the moment.

The black-robed envoy quickly tallied the many geniuses ahead and walked to Lu Ming's side.

"Which one do you choose?" the black-robed messenger asked.

"I choose the 'Current Chaos Stele'," Lu Ming said earnestly.

The black-robed envoy nodded, and the screen on his arm instantly recorded the information. He then asked another person next to him.

"Of all the chaos, the most suitable for me are the Thunderous Chaos Stele and the Cosmic Chaos Stele." However, the former starts with the fundamental law of lightning, and its corresponding bridge to heaven only has 24 levels, while the Cosmic Chaos Stele starts with the fundamental law of time, and has a full 27 levels. Of course, he would choose the stronger one.

……

After the black-robed messenger finished recording at the end of the corridor, he turned around and said, "I have recorded and sent out your choices. Now follow me."

Lu Ming and the others followed him out of the corridor and continued deeper inside.

In a short while, they arrived at a spacious training ground in the city lord's mansion, which was tens of kilometers long and wide, and 1000 people gathered in this spacious training ground.

The black-robed envoy stood in front and said, "There are currently 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers. 15 of them are occupied, while the other 37 are empty."

"Now, I will announce the names of these 37 Chaos Steles. Those who choose these Chaos Steles, go directly to the leftmost entrance ahead. You will be assigned to each secret room."

"The Chaos Stele of Yanshan, the Chaos Stele of Heart's Mark, the Chaos Stele of Dragon's Journey... the Chaos Stele of the Ultimate Universe!"

The black-robed messenger pointed to the entrance on the left at the far end of the training ground: "Now you may go there."

The Chaos Stele that Lu Ming chose happened to be empty at the time, so he followed it inside.

Finally, the black-robed messenger led everyone to a corridor about 60 meters wide and 150 meters high. On both sides of the corridor, there were towering bronze doors, each about 160 meters long and 150 meters high, with ancient characters on each door.

'Universe', 'Dragon's Journey', 'Giant Axe', 'Wind Shadow', 'Nine Universes'

These names clearly correspond to the names on the Chaos Stele, and in front of each of these huge bronze doors stands a kind-looking, three-eyed old man. They all look alike, and even their postures are the same.

The black-robed messenger bowed respectfully, "Lord Kandri!"

"Hmm." The three-eyed old man smiled as he looked at the more than 800 geniuses before him. "A new batch of youngsters from the Virtual Universe Company?"

"Yes."

The black-robed attendant was extremely respectful, no longer showing the casualness he displayed towards these young geniuses. He turned and introduced, "This is Lord Kanderli, the guardian of the Chaos Stele's cultivation chamber. These bronze giant doors are all avatars of the Lord. Lord Kanderli has now guarded the Chaos Stele for a million epochs!"

"Lord Candry!"

Numerous geniuses bowed respectfully. The guardians of the Chaos Monument have existed for millions of epochs, which is billions of years. Who knows how long this powerful figure has lived?

Kandri nodded slightly. "Go in."

With a wave of his hand, the 37 bronze giant doors roared open, revealing a mysterious aura.

A group of people, filled with trepidation and tension, immediately entered the room one by one.

……

The cultivation chamber was enormous, filled with swirling chaotic energy.

With anticipation in his heart, Lu Ming walked into the depths of the secret chamber, where a huge stone tablet was surrounded by chaotic air currents.

It is 100 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, with ten pictures on it. On the edge of the Chaos Stele, there is also the universal language of the universe, "Zhouji".

Each picture is exactly the same as the "Chaos Monument of the Universe" that I saw on the corridor murals before, but the feeling they give is obviously different.

The first picture is an ethereal lotus flower. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this lotus flower has nine petals!

The second picture shows an even more dreamlike double-layered lotus. The inner and upper layers still have nine lotus leaves, while the outer and lower layers are composed of a total of 27 lotus leaves.

The third picture shows a solidified three-layered lotus flower. The inner and middle layers are not much different from those in the second picture, except that there is an additional third layer composed of 72 lotus leaves on the outermost and bottommost part.

The fourth image is a star chart, showing a planet with four satellites orbiting it.

The fifth image is a map of the star system, with one star and 15 planets orbiting it, each of which has more or less moons.

The sixth picture is a galaxy, with countless stars forming a vast galaxy.

The seventh picture depicts a strange ouroboros monster that is devouring its own tail.

The eighth picture depicts two strange ouroboros monsters intertwined together.

The ninth picture depicts countless strange ouroboros monstrous creatures entangled together, so numerous that they cannot be counted.

From the first to the sixth picture, Lu Ming could sense that the first six pictures were subtly explaining the supreme origin of the Great Dao, while the last three pictures were just pure drawings, and with Lu Ming's current strength, he could not sense any mystery at all.

"Currently, I can only understand the first and second images."

The first picture can be called the "Nine-Leaf Picture". The nine lotus leaves symbolize the nine most basic and mysterious laws of time, while the structure of the lotus itself is the most perfect embodiment of the combination of the nine mysteries.

Lu Ming's mind was instantly immersed in it, and the nine lotus leaves instantly transformed into a variety of wonderful artistic conceptions in his consciousness.

He was completely absorbed in his contemplation and was unaware of the passage of time.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Rumble..."

The massive bronze gate swung open with a deafening roar.

"Come out, all of you!" A voice rang out, directly entering his mind.

"Come out, everyone!"

"Come out, everyone!"

"Come out, everyone!"

"Come out, everyone!"

…………

The sound kept echoing in their minds, growing louder and louder until everyone woke up instantly.
