"I've finally killed a strong opponent."
"Before me, there were 82 people who reached the center. I'll be the 83rd," Sydney muttered to himself as he sprinted forward.
As he sprinted, the fog in front of Sydney finally dissipated completely. He could clearly see the center of the goal in front of him. He couldn't help but be delighted.
He was ranked in the top 500 on the Heavenly River Silver List and was very powerful. However, he also knew that there were many people who were stronger than him in the Heavenly River Ancient Palace. It was not surprising that there were hundreds of them. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for him to reach the center in the first hundred.
However, in the previous dark void, some people were slower to find the entrance to this level. The difference in time allowed him to have a certain advantage. As long as he reached the center in the top 100, he would be able to obtain a reward. The higher his rank, the better the reward.
Just as Sidron lifted his foot and was about to step into the center, a figure suddenly dashed out from nearby and stepped into the center first. Sidron then truly stepped in.
"Who is it?"
"He's one step ahead of me."
Sidron was infuriated.
The higher the ranking, the better the reward. Before him, there were already eighty-two people who had taken the lead. He was about to become the eighty-third person, but someone had beaten him to it. With just a single step, he had fallen to the eighty-fourth place.
"It's you!" Cedron recognized the person who was one step ahead of him. "Outsider."
"Hello." Chu Mu looked at Sydney and recognized him. He nodded and greeted him.
"Not at all. You stole my rank," Sydney said angrily.
"I'm just one step ahead of you." As Chu Mu spoke, a golden pill appeared in front of him. It was about the size of a longan fruit. On top of it were nine even more profound patterns. They intersected with each other and covered the entire pill. It seemed to make the pill even more profound and mysterious.
A pill also appeared in front of Sidron, but there were only eight veins on it.
"Heavenly River Pill!" Delight appeared on Sydney's face. He quickly grabbed the pill and looked at Chu Mu. "Outsider, that rank should belong to me. Your reward should also belong to me. Now, exchange with me."
"Hehe." Chu Mu only smiled and disappeared.
"B * stard!" Cedron was infuriated, and his figure disappeared.
If stepping into the door of the ancient palace was the beginning of the ancient palace, then entering the dark void to comprehend the scriptures on the pillar was the first level of the ancient palace. After that, the corridor was the second level. Now, he had entered the third level.
Chu Mu didn't know how many levels there were in the ancient palace, but he did gain a lot of benefits here.
On the third level, it was still a dark void..
The place where Chu Mu appeared was a pillar. The pillar wasn't large, only about two meters in diameter. On top of the pillar was a stone platform, and on top of the stone platform was a book.
Looking around, Chu Mu could see many pillars. They stood in the dark void and there were exactly one thousand of them.
Most of the pillars were empty, but a small portion of them were occupied. Chu Mu saw Sydney, and Sydney saw Chu Mu too. He was furious and seemed to want to leave the pillar, but he was stopped by a mysterious power.
Chu Mu took out the pill again.
"Heavenly River Pill …" Sydney shouted the name, which meant that Sydney knew about the pill. However, Chu Mu didn't know about it, but he studied it carefully.
The effect of the pill was often traceable. Especially since Chu Mu had a certain level of attainment in alchemy, he could distinguish it better.
After studying it carefully, Chu Mu gradually figured out some of its mysteries.
"The Heavenly River Pill I got had nine lines, and the one Sydney got had eight lines. So on and so forth, I wonder if there are seven lines, six lines, or even one line."
"If one line represents one revolution, then the Heavenly River Pill I got is the Nine Revolution Heavenly River Pill."
"The effect of the Heavenly River Pill should be to increase and refine one's strength."
Chu Mu thought for a while, but he didn't take the Nine Revolution Heavenly River Pill immediately. He didn't know if there was a time limit on the third level.
After putting away the Heavenly River Pill, he looked around carefully. His gaze finally fell on the book on the stone table.
"Heavenly River Insight!"
These words were written in the language of the Heavenly River Tribe, but Chu Mu could already understand them.
He turned to the first page. It was densely written with no pictures. After a few glances, Chu Mu was sure that this was a very strange ancient book. It wasn't a cultivation method, nor was it a martial arts lost art. However, it was inextricably linked to the two.
It was like a secret book that recorded the mysteries of the Heavenly River Tribe's martial arts.
After reading the first page in an instant, Chu Mu wanted to continue reading, but he found that he couldn't turn to the second page.
"What's going on?"
Thinking, his gaze fell on the first page. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
"I'd better comprehend the mystery on the first page first."
He began to study it carefully.
Chu Mu had a strong comprehension ability. He had also cultivated the Heavenly River Secret Book and integrated its essence into the Truth Seeking Technique. Therefore, it wasn't difficult for him to comprehend the first page of the Heavenly River Insight.
It didn't take long for Chu Mu to completely comprehend the content on the first page. Suddenly, the pillar under his feet trembled and abruptly rose by ten feet. The Heavenly River Insight's page also automatically flipped to the second page.
"I see. If I want to turn the page, I have to comprehend the mystery, and the pillar will rise by itself."
After understanding this, Chu Mu began to wholeheartedly immerse himself in comprehending the Heavenly River Insight.
His strong comprehension ability completely played a role. It didn't take long for Chu Mu to comprehend the mystery of the second page. Then, it automatically flipped to the third page. The pillar under his feet rose by itself again. This time, it rose by twenty feet.
As Chu Mu comprehended the Heavenly River Insight, his understanding of the Heavenly River Secret Book deepened. At the same time, the Truth Seeking Technique was also affected to a certain extent. Unknowingly, his understanding of the power of the Heavenly River had deepened, and the benefits were great.
When he comprehended the third page, the pillar rose again. This time, it rose by thirty feet.
According to this situation, the more pages one comprehended, the greater the height the pillar rose each time.
More and more people entered the third floor. At first, they didn't know what to do, but later, they understood that they wanted to comprehend the Heavenly River Insight on the stone platform.
Comprehended the fourth page!
Comprehended the fifth page!
Comprehended the sixth page!
In the beginning, everyone's progress was about the same. After all, the mystery of the first page was the simplest and easiest to comprehend. The second, third, and so on weren't much different. However, the more pages one went, the more profound the mysteries were and the harder it was to comprehend. Gradually, the gap between everyone began to show.
Of course, the eighty-two people who entered before Chu Mu took a longer time to comprehend the Heavenly River Insight. Previously, they were ahead of Chu Mu, but now, Chu Mu had caught up with a portion of them. If one were to calculate, the height of the pillar he was on could be ranked within the top fifty.
"How can he be so fast?" Sid glanced at Huang Xiaolong and was shocked.
This outsider had entered before him by a breath's time and started comprehending the Heavenly River Insight almost at the same time. Now, he had surpassed him by so much that he could only look up to him.
Logically speaking, the Heavenly River Insight was a secret scripture belonging to the Heavenly River Race. However, this outsider's comprehension speed could surpass him, a peerless genius of the Heavenly River Race. How amazing was his comprehension ability? Just thinking about it was terrifying.
However, Chu Mu did not pay attention to this. He had completely entered a state of comprehension and was constantly comprehending the Heavenly River True Explanation. Page after page, all sorts of mysteries were absorbed by him. The passive improvement also transformed into a kind of accumulation and sedimentation.
The pillar rose steadily. Towards the end, every time it rose, it was more than a hundred feet or two. It was very obvious.
Gradually, the pillar under Chu Mu's feet was ranked within the top thirty in this dark void.
In terms of comprehension ability, Chu Mu had never lost to anyone.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had comprehended the Heavenly River Insight to the thirty-third page. At this level, he also felt a lot of pressure. The speed of his comprehension decreased significantly. It would take him a long time to comprehend the mysteries.
The thirty-fourth page!
The pillar rose another thirty-three feet and instantly surpassed another one.
During this period, a figure finally appeared on each of the pillars, which meant that the one thousand spots had been filled.
"Chu Mu is over there!" After Goros entered, he quickly looked around. When he saw Chu Mu's figure, he revealed a look of joy.
Moxie Shan entered the third floor later than Goros. He was too far away and was affected by the other pillars, so he didn't notice Chu Mu for a while.
After some time, Chu Mu comprehended the fortieth page. Now, the pillar under his feet was in the top ten among the one thousand pillars in terms of height.
There weren't many pages left of the Heavenly River Insight.
Perhaps, after comprehending the Heavenly River Insight, he could enter the fourth floor of the ancient palace.
Comprehend, comprehend, comprehend.
The forty-first page!
When Chu Mu comprehended the fortieth page, the pillar under his feet rose to a height of forty feet. It was very shocking.
In the sky, there seemed to be a sky.
When Chu Mu comprehended to the 46th page, the pillar under his feet grew taller again, surpassing the other pillars and becoming the tallest one. It was like a crane in a flock of chickens standing high above.
"It's that outsider!"
"An outsider with such a high comprehension ability."
"His comprehension ability is actually higher than mine." The pillar under Augustus' feet was lower than Chu Mu's and was at the second height. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Chu Mu. A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he continued to comprehend.
Finally, Chu Mu comprehended the fiftieth page, which was the last page of the Heavenly River Insight. A force descended from the sky and wrapped around his body. Just when everyone thought that this outsider would be the first to enter the fourth floor, an ancient voice sounded.
"Outsider, the fourth floor is the place of inheritance of the Heavenly River Tribe. You have no fate with it."
