In his spiritual world, the silhouette of a demonic beast appeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it became clear and lifelike, as if it had been given life. It came to life and let out a roar.
At the same time, Chu Mu felt himself being enveloped by an irresistible force. His consciousness instantly blurred, and the demonic beast in his spiritual world instantly dissipated.
"Where did he go?"
"Why did he disappear?"
"Did he leave the Palace of Myriad Origins? Or did he enter the second floor? "
"So fast …" The swordsmen who had entered with Chu Mu saw Chu Mu's figure disappear in the blink of an eye. They were all astonished, dumbfounded, and incomparably shocked.
It felt like a thousand years, but it was only an instant. Chu Mu focused and looked, only to discover two differences.
The first was that the patterns on the middle square pillar were different.
The second was that the faces of the swordsmen surrounding the pillar were different.
"Could it be … that I've entered the second floor?" A thought popped up in Chu Mu's mind.
After looking twice, Chu Mu finally confirmed that he had indeed left the first floor and entered the second floor of the Palace of Myriad Origins.
"So that's how it is. Passing the Palace of Myriad Origins does not depend on one's strength, but closely related to one's comprehension." After thinking carefully, Chu Mu inwardly affirmed.
"Since that's the case, I'll continue to comprehend and continue to pass the Palace of Myriad Origins. I'll continue to comprehend the profound when I reach my limit." After understanding how to pass the Palace of Myriad Origins, Chu Mu immediately had a goal.
However, everyone only had one chance to enter the Palace of Myriad Origins, and they could only stay for a year. Therefore, they had to make good use of their time. They could not spend an entire year on passing the Palace of Myriad Origins. In the end, there would be no progress in comprehending the profound. Wasting time would be a tragedy.
Sitting down cross-legged, Chu Mu began to comprehend the patterns on the central pillar of the second floor of the Palace of Myriad Origins.
It was also a pattern, but it was twice as complicated as the pattern on the first floor.
For most swordsmen, this floor was their limit. However, for Chu Mu, this floor was just the beginning.
His soul was powerful, his perception was shocking, and his mind was incomparably strong. With all these factors combined, Chu Mu was able to see the lines on the pillar more clearly than others, and even form a reflection in his mind.
To put it bluntly, challenging the Myriad Origin Palace required one to comprehend the lines on the pillars. Those lines contained some kind of mystery. For example, if one could comprehend the first layer, it would be a picture of a Demonic Beast. Comprehending the outline wasn't the only thing one could comprehend. One also had to make that Demonic Beast come alive in their spiritual world.
Many swordsmen could comprehend the outline, but it was very difficult to make a demonic beast come alive in its spiritual world. It required an extremely high comprehension ability as well as a deep grasp of essence, energy, and spirit. Only then could one capture the mysteries and essences contained in the veined patterns.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
In Chu Mu's spiritual world, the silhouette of a Demonic Beast appeared once again. This Demonic Beast's formation speed was slower than the one on the first floor.
However, under Chu Mu's perception, the Demonic Beast's silhouette was finally formed. As if it had been given life, it was like the finishing touch. Its eyes emitted a bright light as it let out a roar and came alive.
Immediately, Chu Mu felt his body being enveloped by an irresistible force. His consciousness became absent-minded for a moment, as if he had traveled through time.
Because his understanding of the profound of space had reached ten percent, Chu Mu could vaguely feel that he had traveled through space in an instant.
Some swordsmen also sensed Chu Mu's appearance on the second floor of the Myriad Origin Palace, but no one paid any attention to it. However, in just a few breaths, Chu Mu actually disappeared again, which surprised the swordsmen beside him.
There were only two possibilities. The first was that he had left the Myriad Origin Palace. After all, the time limit for entering the Myriad Origin Palace was one year. Perhaps Chu Mu had already stayed on the first floor for a full year. This time, he had entered the second floor and was sent out not long after.
The second possibility was that he had comprehended the second floor's mysteries and entered the third floor.
Thinking about it, only the first possibility was more likely. The second possibility was less likely.
However, no one dared to rule out the second possibility. There were geniuses who could quickly comprehend the second floor's mysteries.
Chu Mu appeared on the third floor of the Myriad Origin Palace.
At first glance, each floor of the Myriad Origin Palace looked similar. Only by looking carefully could one distinguish them.
Chu Mu first looked at the patterns on the walls and discovered that the patterns on the third floor were much more complicated than those on the first floor.
The patterns on the first floor only had nine colors, which corresponded to nine types of profound: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Ice, Thunder, Cloud.
Chu Mu didn't see the second layer's wall, so he wasn't sure. However, the third layer's wall had patterns of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, thunder, and cloud, as well as snow and blood.
"From the looks of it, the higher the level, the more profound and profound it contains."
Among the profound that Chu Mu had comprehended, other than the Water Profound and Fire Profound, he didn't even comprehend the first, second, or third floor of the Ripping Profound, Illusory Profound, and Space Profound. Based on this, he had to challenge the Myriad Origin Palace floor by floor.
Shifting his gaze to the pillar in the middle, Chu Mu cleared all distracting thoughts and focused on comprehending.
The difficulty of comprehending the Myriad Origins Palace increased exponentially as one ascended the higher the level.
If the first floor's difficulty was one, then the second floor's difficulty would be two, and the third floor's difficulty would be four.
However, to Chu Mu, the third floor wasn't difficult at all.
After about ten breaths of time, Chu Mu had comprehended the mysteries of the pillars on the third floor. His figure rapidly faded as he entered the fourth floor.
If the first floor's difficulty was one, then theoretically, the fourth floor's difficulty should be eight, which was eight times the difficulty of the first floor.
However, when he truly comprehended it, Chu Mu discovered that there was a difference between the third and fourth floor. As for what the difference was, Chu Mu couldn't pinpoint it at the moment.
The fourth floor took Chu Mu nearly one hundred breaths of time to pass. He could clearly feel that the difficulty had increased significantly.
The patterns on the pillars on the fifth floor were even more complex, twice as complex as those on the fourth floor. Chu Mu also understood that the difference between the fourth and fifth floor and the first three floors lay in the levels, just like the low level and the middle level.
For example, the first to third floors were the low level, while the fourth to sixth floors were the middle level. The difference between the different levels wasn't just a difference in quantity, but also a difference in quality.
The difficulty of comprehending the fifth floor was far greater than the fourth floor. Chu Mu spent a full fifteen minutes to comprehend it. He was then enveloped by an irresistible force and transported to the sixth floor. The feeling of the spatial energy fluctuations during the teleportation made Chu Mu's profound of space very active. However, after the teleportation, the profound of space would return to its normal state.
Chu Mu even thought that if the teleportation was maintained for a long time, would the profound of space break through its bottleneck and advance again under that high level of activity?
Unfortunately, the teleportation was too fast, to the point where he couldn't react in time.
The sixth floor of the Myriad Origin Palace.
Chu Mu discovered that there were very few swordsmen on this floor. The first floor had a total of several thousand swordsmen, close to ten thousand swordsmen. The second floor had fewer, but there were still five to six thousand swordsmen, and the third floor had two to three thousand swordsmen.
On the fourth floor, the number of swordsmen had sharply decreased to six to seven hundred. On the fifth floor, the number of swordsmen had sharply decreased to three to four hundred. Currently, the total number of swordsmen on the sixth floor was less than two hundred.
Most of the hundred swordsmen were scattered around, comprehending the profound patterns on the walls. Only a dozen or so people were surrounding the pillar in the middle, comprehending the mysteries on it and planning to enter the seventh floor.
Chu Mu's appearance slightly surprised those swordsmen. In their impression, it had been a while since anyone had entered the sixth floor.
However, they only glanced at Chu Mu and ignored him, concentrating on comprehending.
Chu Mu also sat down cross-legged, comprehending the mysteries of the patterns on the pillar. He felt that the sixth floor shouldn't be so easy to comprehend.
Time slowly passed. Fifteen minutes passed, an hour passed, two hours passed … Chu Mu's figure began to fade and then disappeared.
"Could it be that he entered the seventh floor?"
"That's impossible …" The swordsmen on the sixth floor were left in shock and guessing.
There were even fewer people on the seventh floor of the Myriad Origin Palace. There were only fifty or so swordsmen around the pillar. Clearly, they had given up.
The strange thing was that there weren't any profound patterns on the walls of the seventh floor. There was only chaos.
Chu Mu didn't probe further. Instead, he concentrated on comprehending the mysteries of the stone pillar.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed. Chu Mu was still sitting cross-legged, motionless.
Two days … three days …
Time flowed by slowly …
On the fifteenth day, Chu Mu's figure began to fade and disappear.
He entered the eighth floor of the Myriad Origin Palace.
There were only five people on the eighth floor.
Two of them were sitting cross-legged, motionless. Their eyes were fixed on a spot on the chaos wall, as if they had turned into statues.
One of them was standing with his hands behind his back, slowly pacing in front of a wall. His gaze never left the wall. He was also comprehending, but the way he comprehended was different from the others.
Another person was also sitting, but his head was tilted, looking here and there. He was muttering something under his breath.
The last person, who was also the fifth, seemed to be very leisurely. He was a swordsman dressed like a middle-aged scholar. He was looking at Chu Mu with a smile, but there was a hint of surprise on his face.
"Little friend, you're able to come to the eighth floor. Your comprehension is amazing. However, time is limited. I advise you to stay on the eighth floor and comprehend profound. Don't waste your time on the pillars." The middle-aged scholar kindly reminded. He felt that Chu Mu must have spent a lot of time to come here.
In response, Chu Mu only smiled and didn't say anything. He walked to the pillar in the middle and sat down cross-legged. When the middle-aged scholar saw this, he immediately shook his head and didn't say anything else. He continued to comprehend his profound.
Time flew by. A month passed, and Chu Mu was still comprehending.
Two months had passed … Three months had passed …
The difficulty of comprehending the eighth floor was indeed much higher than the seventh floor. It was too complicated. Chu Mu's brain was constantly working.
In the fourth month, Chu Mu finished comprehending. His figure began to fade. The middle-aged scholar happened to see this. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "You didn't listen to my advice. You wasted a few months for nothing …" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
