Inside the King-Naming Tower, it seemed like a long time had passed, but to the people outside, it was only a little more than two hours.
An hour or so was nothing to these people. Even if it was twenty hours, they could still wait. One had to know that after reaching the Saint Realm, it was normal for one to cultivate for several days at a time, even a dozen days or even a few months was not out of the ordinary.
"With Chen Zong's talent, it won't be difficult for him to detonate the Eight Colored Heavenly Flower," Sky Frost Holy Son and Ancient Holy Son thought to themselves, "As for the Nine Colored Heavenly Flower …"
They didn't dare to continue thinking, because if they did, they would think that Chen Zong was more likely to detonate the Nine Colored Heavenly Flower than them.
However, it was hard to say whether he could really detonate the Nine Colored Heavenly Flower.
If he really did, it would shock both ancient and modern times.
In the same era, it was extremely rare for two people to detonate the Nine-Colored Heavenly Flower. From ancient times until now, it had only happened once. That was the era of the Great Emperor Lingwu. There was also an extremely talented person who was only slightly inferior to the Great Emperor Lingwu. Just like the Great Emperor Lingwu, he had detonated the Nine-Colored Heavenly Flower.
That person was now ranked third on the Nine-Colored King-Naming Monument.
First, the Taixuan Holy Son detonated the Nine Colored Heavenly Flower, then the Sky Frost Holy Son and Ancient Holy Son detonated the Eight Colored Heavenly Flower. This was already shocking. If Chen Zong could detonate the Eight Colored Heavenly Flower, it would be even more shocking. If he could detonate the Nine Colored Heavenly Flower, it would become a legend.
On the eighth floor of the King-Naming Tower.
It was a jade wall in a valley.
Standing in front of the valley's jade wall, the valley's jade wall was engraved with veined patterns. The densely packed veined patterns spread out from the center and eventually covered the entire front of the jade wall. At first glance, the veined patterns were incomparably complex and mysterious.
Then what was the test of this floor?
Immediately, a thought silently entered Chen Zong's mind, and Chen Zong knew.
It turned out that the test of this floor wasn't cultivation, strength, Divine Sense, reaction, or sword skills, but comprehension.
The purpose of challenging the King-Conferring Pagoda was to obtain a title and obtain the acknowledgement of the King-Conferring Pagoda and the Will of Heaven and Earth. This would allow one to better comprehend the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, as well as Dao Insights.
Unlike other challenges, the Kingship Pagoda's challenges did not focus on one's cultivation.
After all, most people who had broken through to the Saint Realm within ten years would not have a high cultivation.
Thus, the King-Naming Pagoda's test was more comprehensive. It tested one's strength, the purity and application of spiritual will, the tenacity of one's will, one's reaction speed, martial arts foundation, and control of power. Now, it tested one's comprehension ability.
It could be said that this was a comprehensive test. This sort of test was the most difficult, and also the most accurate.
The eighth level tested one's comprehension ability, which was to comprehend the patterns on the valley's jade wall.
As for what mysteries the patterns contained, it was hard to say.
According to the information that entered his mind, the patterns on the jade wall were divided into nine rings. From the inside to the outside, they were the first ring, the second ring, and the third ring …
Only by comprehending the fourth ring would one be considered to have passed the eighth level. If one wanted to enter the ninth level, they would have to comprehend the seventh ring.
Furthermore, there was a time limit to the comprehension.
A water hourglass suddenly appeared in the air and water began to drip down.
Chen Zong immediately abandoned all distracting thoughts and wholeheartedly began to comprehend.
The first ring was the centermost ring. The outline of the patterns contained an indescribable mystery.
Those who did not have enough comprehension ability would not be able to comprehend anything at all and would instead feel dizzy.
In other words, one's comprehension ability had to reach the level of an Emperor Grade genius to be able to comprehend it.
However, if one wanted to comprehend the fourth ring, the difficulty was not low. At the very least, one had to have the comprehension ability of a top Emperor Grade genius.
Chen Zong's comprehension ability was extremely high and his foundation was deep, so he quickly comprehended the mysteries of the first ring. He immediately extended it to the second ring and continued to comprehend it.
The patterns on the valley's jade wall were profound, but Chen Zong did not know what they were used for.
It did not seem to have any use. If he had to say that it was useful, it should be used to challenge the King-Naming Pagoda. Moreover, this kind of comprehension was very strange. He could not describe what it was, but it was directed to the core of comprehension. Everything else was useless.
Only the most basic and true comprehension ability could comprehend the mysteries within and direct it to the heart.
In this way, the test of comprehension ability was even more realistic.
Soon, Chen Zong comprehended the mysteries of the second ring. A mysterious feeling gradually became clear.
He began to comprehend the third ring.
The patterns of the third ring were denser and larger in scope. The mysteries contained were deeper and more difficult to comprehend.
However, the mysteries of the third ring were nothing to Chen Zong. He only spent a little more time to comprehend it.
The fourth ring!
When Chen Zong began to comprehend the fourth ring, it meant that Chen Zong was already qualified to detonate the Eight-Colored Heavenly Flower.
However, this was not the end that Chen Zong wanted.
Although he was not sure if he could detonate the Nine-Colored Heavenly Flower, he had this thought and goal. Moreover, he had to work hard and do his best.
The mysteries of the fourth ring were much more profound than the third ring.
If one did not have a top-notch Emperor-level comprehension ability, it would be impossible to comprehend any mysteries from it.
However, comprehension ability was one of Chen Zong's strongest aspects. With the first three rings as a foundation, Chen Zong quickly comprehended the mysteries of the fourth ring.
The more he comprehended, the more Chen Zong felt that the mysteries contained in the nine layers of veined patterns on the jade wall of the valley were the mysteries of heaven and earth. They didn't belong to any aspect, nor did they lean towards any aspect, but they covered all of them.
It was like a general outline and overview of martial arts techniques. It was also like the foundation and foundation of everything, like the roots of a tree.
Vaguely, his heart was telling him that the patterns on the valley's jade wall seemed useless, but to him, it was actually very useful. It was just that he could not see anything at the moment.
In fact, the nine layers of patterns on the valley's jade wall were very beneficial to any cultivator. The prerequisite was that one could comprehend the mysteries within. The more layers one comprehended, the more beneficial it would be.
If possible, Chen Zong planned to comprehend all the patterns on the valley's jade wall and master all nine layers of their mysteries.
The Taixuan Saint had been able to enter the ninth layer because he had comprehended at least seven layers of the valley's jade wall.
His comprehension ability was definitely not inferior to the Taixuan Saint's. This was confidence.
After comprehending the mysteries of the fourth ring, he began to comprehend the fifth ring.
Shortly after, Chen Zong also comprehended the mysteries of the fifth ring. He began to comprehend the sixth ring.
If others knew about Chen Zong's comprehension speed, they would probably be very shocked.
Chen Zong comprehended the mysteries of the sixth ring once again. He immediately began to comprehend the seventh ring.
The mysteries of the seventh ring were immediately much more difficult than those of the sixth ring. Even with Chen Zong's comprehension ability, he still felt that it was very difficult to comprehend.
At this moment, almost half of the water in the hourglass had dripped down. In other words, Chen Zong still had half of the time to comprehend the last three rings. However, he did not know how many rings he could comprehend.
Now that Chen Zong had comprehended the first six rings, he could already enter the ninth layer and accept the ninth layer's test. He would work hard to detonate the nine-colored heavenly flower.
Chen Zong used his superb comprehension ability and the foundation of the first six rings to comprehend the seventh ring. The mysteries of the seventh ring were slowly analyzed and comprehended bit by bit.
Suddenly, a feeling of enlightenment filled his soul. This made Chen Zong know that he had successfully comprehended the mysteries of the seventh ring.
Without hesitation, he began to comprehend the eighth ring.
The more he comprehended, the more Chen Zong felt that the mysteries of the ninth layer of the jade wall in the valley would be of great benefit to his future cultivation.
As for what the benefits were, Chen Zong did not know. However, as long as there were benefits, it was worth his effort.
The difficulty of the eighth ring increased a lot. However, with his comprehension ability, he could still comprehend the mysteries contained in it.
The mysteries of the eighth ring were slowly revealed by Chen Zong's powerful comprehension ability.
However, every time he made progress, he felt that it was very difficult.
In the end, Chen Zong succeeded in comprehending the mysteries of the eighth ring. Regardless of the hourglass, Chen Zong immediately began to comprehend the ninth ring.
As soon as he began to comprehend, Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. The difficulty of comprehending the ninth ring was much higher than that of the eighth ring.
At the beginning of the eighth ring, Chen Zong could still comprehend some superficial knowledge. However, he did not know where to start with the ninth ring.
However, Chen Zong knew that comprehending the ninth ring would be more beneficial to him.
He took a deep breath and calmed his slightly fluctuating emotions. Only by remaining calm and concentrating could he comprehend the mysteries. If his emotions fluctuated, it would affect his comprehension ability.
Calm!
Calm!
Like the deep sea, like ice, no distracting thoughts could affect or disturb him.
Unconsciously, Chen Zong forgot everything. In his eyes, in his mind, and in his heart, there was only the ninth ring.
It was as if a layer of fog had been lifted. There was a feeling of enlightenment.
The mysteries of the ninth ring began to appear.
It was difficult to get started, but once he got started, Chen Zong could take the opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of the ninth ring. Slowly, he began to analyze and comprehend the mysteries of the ninth ring.
The water in the hourglass continued to drip. It seemed slow, but the water above the hourglass was decreasing. There was not much left.
Chen Zong did not notice. At this moment, Chen Zong was completely immersed in comprehending the mysteries of the ninth ring. He had completely forgotten about the outside world.
The mysteries of the ninth ring … Ten percent!
Twenty percent!
Thirty percent!
Forty percent!
As the water continued to drip, Chen Zong comprehended ninety percent.
When it reached ninety percent, the difficulty of comprehending seemed to have increased significantly.
Ninety-one percent!
Ninety-two percent!
Ninety-three percent!
However, there was only a thin layer of water left in the hourglass. It would soon be empty.
Ninety-four percent!
Chen Zong did not know that the water in the hourglass was almost empty. He was still comprehending wholeheartedly.
Ninety-five percent!
Ninety-six percent!
Ninety-seven percent!
Ninety-eight percent!
Ninety-nine percent!
Immediately, the last drop of water in the hourglass dripped from the hole. It seemed to be slow, but it also seemed to be fast. It continued to fall. Once it fell into the water below, it meant the end of the time.
Drip!
The sound was extremely soft, but also extremely loud. It was as if it suddenly rang in Chen Zong's mind.
