"Seventy percent …"
"Eighty percent …"
…
Time passed silently in the peaceful miniature world. After the second month, Jianchen's comprehension of the diagram had reached eighty percent.
Only twenty percent remained, and he would be able to comprehend the diagram completely, gain the recognition of the stele, and obtain the legacy suppressed beneath it.
"Seventy percent. It's already seventy percent. Quick, I have to comprehend the last thirty percent as soon as possible …" At the same time, the lord of the Myriad Flowers Peak, Donglin Qiushui, secretly gritted her teeth and did her best to comprehend the mysteries of the diagram.
Donglin Qiushui was the same as Donglin Yan Xue. They were both prodigies. She had once been an extremely dazzling new star in the Radiant Saint Hall, and her talent had also reached nine stars. However, she had always been stuck at partial Divine King, unable to break through. As a result, her former brilliance gradually dimmed.
"I'm already seventy percent. There's only thirty percent left. I have to become the first person to comprehend the diagram and obtain the Grand Exalt's legacy …" The lord of the Sky Gazing Peak was in a hurry as well. Let alone them, the Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall, but even the eight vice-leaders and the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall would struggle to remain composed before the Grand Exalt's legacy.
The Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall had accumulated over several hundred thousand years. Many of them possessed extraordinary talent, being nine star geniuses. As a result, many of them had already comprehended seventy percent of the diagram.
Naturally, Donglin Yan Xue was one of them.
After all, comprehending the diagram tested a person's talent and ability to comprehend. It had nothing to do with personal strength.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were still slightly slower than Jianchen.
Comprehending the diagram became more and more difficult towards the end. Jianchen spent a month to go from the first to the fifth.
In the second month, he went from the fifth to the eighth.
In the third month, he only increased his comprehension from the eighth to the ninth.
He had only increased it by ten percent in a month. This was more than enough to demonstrate just how much more difficult it was to comprehend the diagram in the later stages.
Moreover, after reaching the ninth level, Jianchen's comprehension of the last ten percent became as slow as a snail.
The difficulty of the final 10% increased once again!
Unknowingly, half a year had already passed since the opening of the small world. After this half a year of comprehension, Jianchen was still stuck at the last 10% of the dao diagram.
The final ten percent was difficult to imagine. Even with Jianchen's talent, he was unable to make any significant progress after spending three months.
In the past half a year, basically all the nine star Hallowed Saint Masters had comprehended over ninety percent of the diagrams. All of them were stuck at the last ten percent.
There were even some nine-star aptitudes who had already withdrawn from comprehending the dao diagrams. The difficulty of the last 10% was so great that they had already lost their confidence.
"This Dao Diagram is way too mysterious. The first half was fine, but as I got closer, I felt like I couldn't make sense of it at all. If I were to force myself to comprehend it, I'm afraid that I'll get lost in it …"
"The Master of the Grand Sovereign's inheritance is indeed not something mediocre people like us can touch. In the end, it's still because our perception is too weak …"
…
A few Hallowed Saint Masters had already opened their eyes. They looked at the stele before them as they became dispirited.
A great fortuitous encounter was right before them, yet they were unable to obtain it. They had missed out on the opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step. The mental blow and failure was basically fatal.
"Hmm? There's actually a kid with a two-colored soulcore here. He's actually still comprehending the diagram. Hehe, with just a mere two-colored soulcore, it goes without saying that his talent is extremely poor, yet he still wants to obtain the Grand Exalt's legacy …" At this moment, a Hallowed Saint Master discovered Jianchen nearby and immediately sneered.
"I know this person. He's a low-level disciple called Chang Yang. Although his strength is nothing special, he has vice-leader Xuan Zhan behind him. It's best if we don't provoke him," a Divine King glanced at Jianchen and said rather cautiously.
"So what if he has vice-leader Xuan Zhan behind him? Can he obtain the Grand Exalt's legacy just because he has vice-leader Xuan Zhan behind him? What a joke … "
"He wants to obtain the Grand Exalt's legacy with just a mere two-colored soulcore. He really is ignorant …"
"Most importantly, Chang Yang is only a one star genius. He wants to obtain the recognition of the Grand Exalt's legacy with just that? I think he hasn't even comprehended fifty percent of the diagram … "
"Let alone fifty percent, even thirty percent would be a problem …"
…
Many Hallowed Saint Masters looked at Jianchen and sneered as they commented on him. Their faces were filled with disdain and mockery.
None of them knew that Jianchen was the person who comprehended the diagram the fastest out of all the Radiant Saint Masters present.
Very soon, another three months passed. Jianchen had basically comprehended the final ten percent of the diagram. He only lacked the final step and he would be able to comprehend it completely.
However, Jianchen encountered an obstruction at the final step. He felt like there was an invisible barrier blocking the final step of the diagram. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to get past it. He was unable to break through the barrier of five stars.
With no other choice, Jianchen could only stop for now.
At the same time, several dozen nine star Hallowed Saint Masters followed closely behind Jianchen. They also attempted to break through the final ten percent of the diagram. Their rate of comprehension was nowhere near as fast as Jianchen's. Jianchen had basically comprehended ninety-nine percent of the diagram, while they had only comprehended ninety percent.
"The final step doesn't seem to be something that can be broken through through comprehension alone. I just feel like I need to fulfill some sort of condition," Jianchen sank into his thoughts.
However, at this moment, the Martial Soul Force within him shuddered silently. An extremely weak strand of Martial Soul Force seemed to be attracted by some unknown force, flowing uncontrollably. It silently appeared in the diagram that Jianchen had comprehended, charging towards the barrier that stopped Jianchen's final step.
The barrier that Jianchen was helpless against burst like a bubble before the strand of Martial Soul Force. Jianchen's comprehension of the diagram immediately became unobstructed.
With the disappearance of the invisible barrier, Jianchen's comprehension of the diagram immediately reached perfection. He had comprehended it completely, and he immediately gained the recognition of the stele. Under the guidance of the stele's power, a sliver of the senses of his soul silently arrived before the stele. He saw a shining imprint.
"The Grand Exalt's legacy imprint!" Jianchen immediately recognised the imprint the moment he saw it.
The moment Jianchen connected with the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint, the diagram within the stele suddenly vanished as well. All the Hallowed Saint Masters who were still comprehending the diagram were pushed out by the power of the stele.
"What's happening? Why can't I comprehend the diagram anymore …"
"God dammit. I've already comprehended ninety percent of the diagram. I'm just a tiny bit away from success …"
"The diagram has actually vanished. I can't send the senses of my soul into the stele anymore. What's happening …"
…
Everyone returned to their senses. They cursed unwillingly. They were all angered to the point where they wanted to vomit blood.
"Look, there's still a pillar of light that hasn't vanished …" At this moment, a cry rang out. It was filled with shock and disbelief.
When they heard this voice, everyone immediately looked over. Their pupils immediately shrank when they saw who it was.
All the people who comprehended the stele would be protected by the power of the stele, preventing them from being disturbed by external forces.
When they were pushed out by the power of the stele, the pillars of light that protected them had already vanished. However, there was actually still a pillar of light that remained.
What did that mean?
It meant that someone was still comprehending the stele and had not been pushed out by the power of the stele.
"Impossible. How can he still be protected by the power of the stele …"
"I- has he already comprehended the diagram?"
"H- how is that possible …"
