Stele of Dao?
Su Ping raised his head and looked at the stele that looked like a giant sword peak. A vast and ancient aura rushed toward him, making him feel as if he was overlooking the entire universe.
Vast, empty, lonely!
The stele of Dao seemed to be shrouded in fog. There was nothing on it, but it seemed to contain the stars of the universe!
There was an indescribable and strange feeling. Su Ping looked at the stele of Dao and felt as if he had comprehended something, but also as if he had not comprehended anything.
"Hey … System, what is this stele of Dao?" Su Ping asked in his mind.
"Don't test my limits!" The System said gloomily.
Su Ping said blankly, "What did you say?"
"Hmph, you know!" The System snorted and stopped arguing with Su Ping. It said coldly, "This stele of Dao is the same as gods and demons. They were both born from the primordial chaos. However, gods and demons are living creatures, while this stele of Dao is a dead object. However, it contains the principles of the universe!"
"Comprehending the stele of Dao means that you can comprehend all the Great Daos in the world!"
"However, comprehending the stele of Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even the three elders of the Golden Crow Tribe in front of you do not have this ability."
Su Ping was stunned.
The stele of Dao in front of him … contained all the Great Daos in the universe?
Did this mean that the stele of Dao was the ultimate textbook?!
"You can understand it that way." The System said.
"…"
This peeping Tom …
"However, you will have to be at least at the Star Rank if you want to study the Tablet of Principles. Otherwise, you will not be able to understand the Tablet of Principles. Even if you can, your brain will explode because of the profound truths contained in the tablet!" The system didn't care about Su Ping's reaction.
Su Ping did not bother to pursue the matter of the System's peeping because of its introduction. After all, it had not been a day or two, and he was used to it …
"You said that the three elders of the Golden Crow Tribe in front of me could not comprehend the stele of Dao. Does that mean that if I comprehend the stele of Dao, my cultivation will be stronger than theirs?" Su Ping asked in his mind.
The System said indifferently, "Of course."
Su Ping took a deep breath.
The three Golden Crow Elders in front of him were definitely super terrifying creatures. They could probably destroy Blue Star hundreds of times in a matter of minutes. The Abyssal Disaster that Blue Star was currently facing could be extinguished by creatures of this level with a single breath!
And this Dao stele in front of him was a treasure that could allow him to directly ascend to the heavens!
Unfortunately, he needed to comprehend it!
"That's right. If your perception is poor, even if you hugged the Dao Stele and slept for ten thousand years, you still wouldn't be able to understand it." The system said.
"…"
"Heh."
…
"What are you thinking about?"
It was Diqiong. Diqiong looked at Su Ping curiously.
When it saw Su Ping in a daze, it suddenly wanted to know what was going on in this human's head.
Previously, Su Ping's various actions had changed its initial contempt for this human. Now, it was a little curious and wanted to explore more.
"I don't know what to eat for dinner." Su Ping came back to his senses and said casually.
Diqiong was speechless. It glared at him.
This human is still so despicable!
"Next, form groups of ten and begin the test." The Golden Crow Chief Elder's voice reverberated under the huge treetop.
Hearing the First Elder's words, the young Golden Crows looked at each other in dismay.
Soon, several Golden Crows took the lead and flew toward the Dao Stele.
The rest of the Golden Crows flew out one after another.
After ten Golden Crows flew out, the other Golden Crows had to stop and follow the rules.
The ten Golden Crows flew to the Dao Stele and released their own Dao. The first Dao that each Golden Crow released was the Dao of Fire!
Streaks of fire path skills that contained profound profundities were unleashed at the Dao Stele. Then, they sank into the Dao Stele as if they were sinking into mud. Immediately after, at the Dao Stele where the ten Golden Crows had unleashed their skills, a golden blazing Dao pattern appeared. It meant that the first Dao pattern had been lit!
The Golden Crows were born with the Dao of Fire, just like how humans were born with the ability to eat and drink. Only a few "problematic Golden Crows" didn't even know the Dao of Fire.
Apart from the Dao of Fire, the young Golden Crows released other Daos.
Some skills contained dark and destructive energy. Some Golden Crows released lightning bolts. Some Golden Crows created mountains out of thin air …
As the skills were blasted into the Dao Stele, more and more patterns appeared on the Dao Stele in front of the Golden Crows.
Su Ping looked up. He wasn't in a hurry to take the test because he wanted to see how the Golden Crows would do it.
"They're all at the peak of the legendary rank!"
Su Ping exclaimed. Those young Golden Crows were so powerful. The skills they released were all at the peak of the Fate Realm and they could release skills of several different kinds.
One of the Golden Crows released skills of five different kinds and lit up five Dao Steles!
"As expected of a natural-born Divine Demon. With such combat power, it would be at the top level on the Blue Planet. The Otherworld Heavenly King would be crushed to pieces easily, but this one … is still a child!"
Su Ping complained to himself. Those Golden Crows are so horrifying!
Soon, the first batch of Golden Crows finished the test.
Some Golden Crows left in disappointment while others returned with pride.
Of the ten Golden Crows, nine passed the test and only one failed.
To be able to step out and participate in the trial in the first place, they all had extremely strong confidence in themselves. When the defeated Golden Crow lit up the third Dao pattern, it seemed that the strength of its Dao Will was not enough. No matter how it bombarded the Dao pattern with its skills, it was still unable to ignite the Dao pattern on the Dao Stele.
"Do you want to go?"
Diqiong asked Su Ping. She seemed to be waiting expectantly for his answer.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. "Let's wait and see."
He wasn't in a hurry. As long as he could pass the test, he didn't care about the results.
Furthermore, it was not as if he had gained nothing from watching the Golden Crows' tests. Many of the Golden Crows had displayed their will of the Great Path through their skills, allowing him to gain some enlightenment.
Skills were the embodiment of Dao. Usually, it would be difficult to see Dao through skills. But at that moment, maybe because he was close to the Stele of Principles, Su Ping's mind had become clearer and more active. He could feel the Dao Stele that the Golden Crows were using. Some of the Dao Steles were stunning.
It's not a bad idea to steal some Dao Steles.
Su Ping thought to himself. This trip was worth it. He would have no regrets even if he couldn't get the materials for the second level of the Mythical Body.
As the first batch of Golden Crows came to an end, the second batch of Golden Crows couldn't wait to fly away. They were eager to show off their abilities, unlike the first batch which was hesitant and shy.
In the blink of an eye, ten Golden Crows flew out from the second batch. Some of the Golden Crows flew back after realizing that they were too slow.
The second batch of Golden Crows' tests were just as exciting, even more so than the first batch. All ten Golden Crows passed. The weakest one had lit up three Dao Steles!
Three of them had lit up four Dao Steles!
One of them had lit up five Dao Steles!
"These Golden Crows have all mastered different Daos, and their understanding of them is quite deep. I wonder how terrifying the adult Golden Crows will be..."
The more Su Ping watched, the more amazed he became. Those young Golden Crows were not only proficient in the Dao of Flames, but also in other Dao Steles.
When the Golden Crows used their skills, those skills were all at the Fate State!
All of a sudden, Su Ping thought of his Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound had mastered all kinds of skills.
It was a pity that the Dark Dragon Hound's skills were only at the Ocean State. If it could upgrade all its skills to the Fate State in the future, would it be considered as having mastered all the Dao Steles' skills?
It seems that I'll have to practice harder later!
Su Ping said to himself.
The Dark Dragon Hound — which was resting in the summoning space — suddenly shivered and felt uneasy.
As time went by, more and more young Golden Crows finished their tests.
The He family's young Golden Crow, which was hostile to Su Ping and had attracted a lot of attention, had also finished the test. It had lit up six Dao Steles, the most so far!
However, soon after the He family's young Golden Crow lit up eight Dao Steles, another young Golden Crow performed even better!
That result caused a huge uproar.
Su Ping heard the murmurs and tried to understand what they were saying. He found that the Golden Crow that had lit up eight Dao Steles wasn't one of the Golden Crows that had attracted a lot of attention in the first two tests; it was one of the Golden Crows that had been mediocre in the previous tests. However, it suddenly rose to prominence in this test.
That's not good enough for me …
Su Ping said to himself.
Lighting up eight Dao Steles meant that the Golden Crow had mastered all the Dao Steles' skills!
However, what surprised Su Ping was that the eight Dao Steles that the Golden Crow had lit up weren't the core Dao Steles' skills of fire, water, thunder, light, and darkness that he knew. There were other special Dao Steles mixed in.
"There are thousands of Dao Steles. The basic Dao Steles aren't the only ones that can light up Dao Steles," the system explained. "The basic Dao Steles include countless minor Dao Steles. Mastering the minor Dao Steles is also a Dao Steles' skill! For example, the Strength Enhancement and the Elementary Agility Enhancement that you've mastered belong to Dao Steles! They're based on Dao Steles! "
"…"
Su Ping was already numb to the system's peeping. However, Su Ping was delighted to hear that. He asked curiously, "So to speak, my Strength Enhancement and the Elementary Agility Enhancement are already two Dao Steles. I'll be able to pass the test easily if I squeeze out one more Dao Steles?"
"Squeeze out …"
The system twitched at Su Ping's choice of words. It snorted and said, "You can try it yourself. However, the Dao Steles that you've mastered are enough to pass the test. The third test isn't difficult for you. The only difficult part is the first test. However, you've already passed the first test after ten days of cultivation. You just have to wait for the test to end and your potential will be stimulated by the Golden Crows."
Su Ping was relieved to hear the system's words. He looked up at the Golden Crow Chief Elder and said, "I wonder if the Golden Crows will be willing to help me, an outsider."
Su Ping shook his head and didn't think too much about it. He looked at the Golden Crows that were about to end the test. He didn't wait any longer and walked out.
