Chapter 205: Seeing All the Corridor Walls in One Day! (6100 words)_3
The Daoist Text of 'Life'!
WHOOSH!
With another Daoist Text in hand, Wang Xiu's Divine Soul left the God and Demon Murals.
He slowly stood up.
"Is it over?"
"He only just went in!"
"How come he's so fast this time? Last time, it took him several hours!"
Many of the chosen prodigies had gathered nearby, their faces filled with astonishment. From their perspective, Wang Xiu's Divine Soul had just entered the God and Demon Murals and emerged again in less than a few breaths.
It was frighteningly fast.
"Quick, look! The second mural is glowing too! A new name has appeared..." someone shouted excitedly, pointing at the mural.
On its surface, Wang Xiu's name appeared once again. It was incomparably radiant and dazzling to the extreme.
"He left his name again! Wang Xiu is too extraordinary. The Sanqing Immortal Sect has produced a Kylin Scion, destined to bring an era of prosperity!"
Not all prodigies could leave their names on the God and Demon Murals. Even among those who succeeded, none could leave their name on every single one. That required a level of comprehension for each mural that was unimaginably profound, enough to trigger a resonance with the murals themselves. The difficulty was comparable to ascending to the heavens.
Even a prodigy as monstrous as Ye Guhong, who had contemplated all eighty-one God and Demon Murals, had only managed to leave his name on three of them. This feat alone had already matched the records of all time.
And now, Wang Xiu had contemplated only two murals and had left his name twice in a row. It inevitably gave people the illusion that he could leave his name every single time he tried.
How could this be possible? As soon as the thought emerged, they violently shook it from their minds. The idea was pure fantasy. There wasn't the slightest chance.
Then, the crowd erupted once again. Just like before, the moment Wang Xiu's name appeared, all the other names on the mural vanished as if they had never existed.
"Damn it, what's the principle behind this?"
"This defies all mystical principles!"
"My sect's ancient ancestor's true name was on that mural! That was a supreme honor, and now it's gone!"
"What in the world did he comprehend from these murals to make them react this way, erasing all the other names?"
They were baffled. No matter how much they pondered it, they couldn't figure it out. Nothing like this had ever happened in all of history. Even the most knowledgeable scholars would be unable to find records of a similar event in any ancient text.
Wang Xiu paid no mind to the others' reactions. He walked directly to the third God and Demon Mural. This mural depicted a scene of flourishing flowers, millions of them blossoming like a river of stars, resplendent to the extreme. The entire world depicted was suffused with a captivating Life Essence.
Wang Xiu's Divine Soul soared, as towering as a pillar supporting the heavens, and surged directly inside.
This time, he was even faster than before. In just two breaths, he came out.
The mural glowed again, its brilliance intensifying until it coalesced into his name.
"Damn!"
"He left his name again! That's the third one!"
"It's just like before! Everyone else's name is gone, and only his remains. He's the only one!"
"A monster, a true monster!"
"Three murals, three names. Is he trying to defy the heavens?"
"Don't tell me he's actually going to leave his name every single time he contemplates a mural? Just how terrifying is his comprehension?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Not unless a Great Emperor was reborn, or a god was reincarnated..."
"The Sanqing... Is this the true foundation of the Immortal Alliance's once-strongest Immortal Sect? Even after declining to its current state, it can still produce such a peerless prodigy?"
The scene was a mess of chaos. The Stone Forest was typically silent, as everyone needed a quiet mind to contemplate. But now, they could no longer remain calm. After witnessing such a shocking spectacle, who the hell could keep their composure? It was a miracle they hadn't gone mad. Their worldview had been shattered, making them feel as if they were trapped in a dream.
The Five Elements Wood Scripture... truly profound! Wang Xiu observed the third Daoist Text now imprinted within his Divine Soul. It shone brilliantly, emanating an endless, ancient aura that was both profound and vast. He was extremely satisfied.
He collected himself and moved on to contemplate the next mural.
Li Zuoyue and the others exchanged glances. "Does our junior brother really have to be this intense?" he asked, dumbfounded.
Bei Tangfeng's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "Brother Wang is so incredible. We can't fall behind and lose face! Let's continue contemplating and try to keep up with him!"
However, in the moments that followed, every prodigy present truly understood the meaning of shock.
In! Out!
In! Out!
Wang Xiu's speed of contemplating the murals grew faster and faster. While the first one had taken him several hours, he completed the subsequent ones in just a few breaths. Eventually, he didn't even pause his stride. He walked past the God and Demon Murals one by one, as if he were merely glancing at them in passing. His immense Divine Soul continuously entered and exited the world within each mural.
Wherever he passed, every God and Demon Mural erupted in light, burning with vigorous flames that engulfed a patch of the void and left a single name behind.
"Fourteen... fifteen... twenty!"
"This is outrageous!"
Li Zuoyue and the others were still stuck on the second mural. They had stopped contemplating, completely numb from the shock.
"Sigh, to have such a companion in my life is truly my, Bei Tangfeng's, great fortune! It's just... the pressure is a little much..." Bei Tangfeng gritted his teeth. "I must keep trying! Brother Wang is already shining so brilliantly. How can we dare to stagnate?"
Before long, the count had climbed higher.
"Thirty... forty!"
"Is he really contemplating? Why does it feel like he's just glancing at them?"
"This is so strange. The murals are supposed to get more difficult the further you go, consuming more energy and Divine Soul. He should be slowing down, but he's getting faster and faster!"
"Forty-nine! That's a major threshold! Countless prodigies have been stopped there!"
Everyone cried out in alarm, their eyes fixed on him.
Wang Xiu stood before the forty-ninth mural. As before, he just entered and exited in a flash.
HUM!
The stone wall's radiance surged. Myriad phenomena appeared, illuminating the heavens.
