Cultivating with Bragging System

Wang Xiu continued to contemplate the murals. The stone walls of the front and back galleries contained different divine abilities. The thirty-six God and Demon Murals of the back gallery were even more profound, obscure, and difficult to comprehend. The demands they placed on a Cultivator's comprehension and Divine Soul were several times greater.

No wonder so many prodigies were stopped outside the back gallery. Even a prodigy as monstrous as Ye Guhong had barely managed to comprehend nine of the God and Demon Murals.

Of course, the rewards here also increased exponentially.

As Wang Xiu comprehended the murals, he found they still contained Daoist Text, just different from that in the seventy-two God and Demon Murals of the front gallery.

The Daoist Text shone with golden light. As its radiance flickered, countless runes densely covered it, resembling the stars in the sky. Indescribable chains of rules twinkled, seemingly constructing a grand cosmic universe.

The Daoist intent contained in this golden text is far more intense. The mighty being who left this text behind must have been even stronger, having reached some ineffable realm...

Wang Xiu recalled the rumor that the Holy Realm was not of the mortal world, but a corner of the Immortal Realm that had fallen to earth. Now, it seemed highly likely.

With the current strength of Wang Xiu's Divine Sense, even if the spiritual sanctum within the back gallery's God and Demon Murals was as vast as the Abyss, he could still easily reach its depths and perceive its core secrets.

Apparently unsatisfied with his own efficiency, Wang Xiu's mind stirred. He split his tremendous Divine Soul into nine parts, delving into nine God and Demon Murals simultaneously.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

The next moment, nine beams of light soared into the sky at once, emitting a dazzling divine brilliance so fierce it seemed to bury a part of the void.

"Holy moly!"

"You can do it like that?"

"Is he even human? To comprehend nine God and Demon Murals at once? And to grasp them instantly?"

...

The crowd of prodigies had already grown numb, but now they were dumbfounded all over again. They had never seen anyone comprehend the God and Demon Murals in such a manner.

No, this wasn't comprehension, was it? Given the speed at which Wang Xiu entered and exited the murals, you could tell people they belonged to him and they would believe it!

"Quick, let me see!"

The image of Ye Guhong emerged from a Chuanxu Ancient Jade. Hearing the other prodigies' discussion, he could no longer remain calm and demanded to witness the scene for himself.

The prodigy swallowed hard and quickly formed a hand seal, projecting the live scene for Ye Guhong.

When he saw the astonishing sight, Ye Guhong's entire body stiffened. His eyes, usually as still as an ancient well, now churned with tempestuous waves that took a long time to calm.

You... who exactly are you?

He was completely stunned. Chaos mist swirled around him as divine light shot in all directions, kicking up an unimaginable storm.

Searching through all of ancient history, even in the brilliant era he remembered, no one had ever achieved such a feat! This simply defied all logic. Such a person should not exist in the mortal world.

Could it be... that during the great battle back then, someone else from the pinnacle—not just me—survived and was reborn into this era?

The thought horrified him, sending a chill down his spine. The next moment, his shock turned to elation. His body trembled as an indescribable joy filled his chest.

This time... for the battle of Tian Yuan... the Human Race has hope! We will not repeat the same mistakes!

...

"Junior Brother Wang Xiu isn't holding back anymore! He's completely dropped the act!"

"He was trying to hold back and be low-key, but now he's laid all his cards on the table! Comprehending nine God and Demon Murals at once—that's heaven-defying!"

"Could it be? Is he going to comprehend all one hundred and eight God and Demon Murals today?"

"Heavens!"

"Impossible, right? That's too terrifying! It's completely unprecedented..."

"But isn't his current comprehension speed already unprecedented?"

"He did it! He really did it!" a prodigy cried out, screaming.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Under the watchful eyes of the multitude, in the deepest part of the back gallery, the one hundred and eighth God and Demon Mural erupted with a blinding light.

This mural was the largest. The rock face that served as its medium towered into the clouds like a celestial wall. Every rune on it glowed with divine light, brimming with spirituality. Since ancient times, no one had ever managed to comprehend its mysteries, making it the most enigmatic of them all.

Now, under Wang Xiu's forceful comprehension, its most mysterious veil was finally torn away.

Reincarnation, Creation, Stars... The further in, the vaster and more complex the rules contained within these Daoist Texts become. To truly comprehend them would take an unimaginable amount of effort!

Wang Xiu observed himself through introspection. His Divine Soul was now incomparably brilliant, with one hundred and eight mysterious Daoist Texts embedded within it like dazzling, mesmerizing jewels. Moreover, countless streams of the Law's Light flowed about, fluttering up and down like butterflies.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Just then, all the starlight surged forth. The Daoist Texts gathered above Wang Xiu's Divine Soul like a constellation, imprinting themselves upon the void as they constantly combined and rearranged.

Eventually, they formed an ancient page shining with golden light.

Each Daoist Text emitted a strange, profound, and extraordinary light.

These Daoist Texts can actually combine to form an Ancient Scripture? Wang Xiu was astonished.

He had assumed the Daoist Texts themselves were the ultimate prize hidden within the God and Demon Murals—a secret of infinite, mysterious, and unpredictable possibilities. He never expected there was more to it.

He gazed at the page, his eyes passing over each Daoist Text.

Though the characters on it were few, they were ever-changing, containing an immensely rich distillation of the Great Dao's ultimate principles. It was like the very origin of the Dao itself—truly awe-inspiring.

He gathered the strength of his Divine Soul and touched the page of the Golden Book.

An immense scene instantly materialized before him.

In a vast expanse of heaven and earth, countless figures were arrayed like the Stars. Each one radiated an ancient and powerful aura that transcended that of gods. They could each command an entire universe, just like Heavenly Immortal Venerables.
