In front of these four lines of words, Yi Yun sat down cross-legged.
The old man must have brought him here to see these four lines of words.
This ancient tomb was already empty. The battle sabers, treasures and heritage that could have been buried here were all gone. All that was left was the handwriting left behind by the tomb owner.
The short 32 words were fierce and domineering. It was shocking!
"Oh? These words … "
When Yi Yun stared at these four lines for a long time, he realized that these four lines contained an indescribable concept. Every word and stroke was like a flickering saber beam, as if it was about to break through the wall! It was as if these words were the interpretation of saber techniques!
Upon realizing this, Yi Yun focused his mind and stared at the four lines without blinking.
The 32 words each had a different concept, but when they were linked together, it gave people a feeling of perfection.
"I understand now!" Yi Yun's eyes lit up. "The person who engraved these words had used his life's understanding of the saber Dao to manifest it through these 32 words!"
"These words may not be a saber technique's mantra, but they are better than a saber technique's mantra!"
The concept contained within the 32 words was something Yi Yun could not understand. He could only roughly understand and try to figure it out. However, his realm was far from the person who engraved the words. Even though Yi Yun's perceptivity was extraordinary, the amount he could understand was very little.
"How profound …"
Yi Yun frowned. The four lines of words were like four sets of saber techniques.
Every set of saber techniques contained the saber truth. In Yi Yun's present state, it was impossible for him to understand them all.
In fact, the old man who brought Yi Yun here did not expect Yi Yun to understand much.
However, even if Yi Yun only understood a tiny bit of the Great Dao, it would be very beneficial to him!
Martial Dao, Martial Dao, was a path of Great Dao.
This Dao. It was the laws of reason. If one could point to the Great Dao from the beginning, it could point to the Origins. Even if this path was difficult and arduous, as long as one persevered, once one understood it, they would soar. It was a success!
Of course, people without a certain level of talent would definitely not dare to take such a difficult path.
The path was too difficult. If one didn't succeed after a long time, they wouldn't be able to break through. When the time came, their bodies would grow old and their potential would be exhausted. They would die of old age without even being able to break through to the Human Lord level. Then what was the point of cultivating martial arts?
"This old man really thinks highly of me …"
Yi Yun muttered to himself. The ancient tomb mystic grounds cost one glory point a day, and there was no guarantee that anything could be learned from it. Typical people could not afford it.
Probably in every batch, only people like Qin Haotian and Luo Huo 'er had the chance to enter!
"This ancient tomb. I don't think I'm the only one who entered. I wonder what Qin Haotian and the others have comprehended? "
Yi Yun did not believe that the old man could tell at a glance that he was a future sage. The most likely scenario was that he had chosen a few outstanding talents to test the waters in the ancient tomb.
Those who can comprehend something can continue to stay here.
If he couldn't comprehend it, he could only give up.
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun suddenly had a thought. He focused his spiritual energy on the Heaven's eyeball and connected it to the Purple Crystal, activating his energy vision!
Now, Yi Yun's energy vision was already very complete. Everything in the energy vision was made up of energy. Ignoring the surface, he could directly see the source!
Using the energy vision to look at these words was a sudden thought of Yi Yun.
"Oh? This is … "
Yi Yun's breathing stagnated. When a typical person carved words on a rock, the words were just words. It was just a mark on the rock, nothing special.
But these four lines of words were completely different. In the energy vision, these words were no longer immutable words, but they were flowing with energy.
This made Yi Yun extremely surprised. The mighty figure who carved the words back then had condensed nomological energy without dissipating even after tens of millions of years!
Condensing these energy beams, Yi Yun realized that this energy was different from the primordial species and primordial herbs' energy.
This energy could be controlled by the Purple Crystal, and he could absorb it to raise his cultivation level.
But the energy in these four lines of words seemed to be an independent system.
The energy contained in the words itself was not strong, but it had a sense of Origins.
Origins energy …
Yi Yun felt that in this short period of two hours, he had come into contact with too many things.
It was like a mysterious nomological door had suddenly opened in front of him. All sorts of Origins Great Dao surged towards him. Each of them was extremely mysterious, and they all pointed towards Origins.
Unfortunately, these Great Dao were not something he could fully understand at his current cultivation level. This made Yi Yun feel like he wanted to understand them all, but it was too much for his eyes to take in.
"Take it slowly. My path is still long, so there's no rush."
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun calmed his mind. He would understand as much as he could. The long journey of ten thousand miles had to start from the first step.
Yi Yun maintained his energy vision and began to understand the saber truth of the four lines of words.
In the real world vision, these 32 words were fixed. Although they gave people the illusion that they were about to break out of the wall, it was just an illusion.
But in the energy vision, it was completely different.
The 32 characters were all moving. That was because the Essence energy within them was slowly circulating!
The flickering light of energy contained an indescribable philosophy. It was as if every time it circulated, it was in accordance with the most fundamental Laws.
Yi Yun quickly immersed himself in it. He was so engrossed that he forgot about the time.
From midnight to dawn, and then late in the morning, a new day of the ranking competition began. Yi Yun was absent.
"Oh? Yi Yun didn't come? "
Yi Yun was now a popular figure. Wherever he went, people would pay attention to him. As a seeded cultivator, he had an exclusive seat in the arena. Hence, Yi Yun's absence from the rookie ranking competition was quickly discovered.
"Today, there are still Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu's matches. They are planning to enter the top 3000, but Yi Yun isn't watching?"
As Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu were challenging the top 3000 veteran cultivators, today's rookie competition was even more lively. Many cultivators who had been training in the Tai Ah Divine City for four or five years came to watch the competition!
As the arena was large, it was usually empty. But today, there was a sea of people, making it feel crowded.
"Yi Yun might not be planning on fighting Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu. These two people are too monstrous. But … no matter if Yi Yun is planning on fighting, he should come to watch …"
People could not understand. What could be more important than watching Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu enter the top 3000?
If there was one, it would probably be the battle between Chu Xiaoran and Qiuniu in a few days' time!
When that happened, the entire Tai Ah Divine City would probably turn out.
For a battle between two rookies to reach such a level, it was really impressive!
"It's about to begin. Rookies only need three months to enter the top 3000 of the Earth roll. And it's two people at once. This is probably rare in the recent decades of the Tai Ah Divine City's history!"
People were discussing. They were looking forward to today's competition.
At this time, in the central divine tower, in a spacious room above the 90th floor, two elders were sitting on chairs. They were looking at a disk array in front of them. On the disk array, the battle that was happening in the arena was being played out.
Of the two elders, one was Elder Jian Ge, and the other was the thin old man who brought Yi Yun to the ancient tomb to gain enlightenment.
"You brought Yi Yun to the saber tomb?"
Elder Jian Ge suddenly asked.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes … I think this kid is quite interesting. Who knows, he might be able to gain some insight …"
"Who knows …" Elder Jian Ge frowned, "Just because of the words' who knows', you brought him in?"
Elder Jian Ge was clearly unhappy with the old man's actions.
"So what? That ancient tomb may be a forbidden ground, but there is a certain level of authority. It's not like you can't enter or exit it. Besides, even if that kid doesn't gain any insight, he won't lose anything …"
"Won't lose anything?" Elder Jian Ge shook his head helplessly, "Cang Yan, you always do things according to your heart. You don't consider anything. It's not like you don't know that the Great Dao of Origins engraved in the saber tomb is too difficult. Once you gain insight, your achievements will be very high!"
"But if he can't gain any insight, it'll be a waste of time! That saber truth's concept is too deep, and it's easy for people to be obsessed with it. I'm afraid that this kid will be too stubborn. If he fails, he won't know when to stop. When that happens, it'll be a waste of time and energy. "
To young elites, time was too precious.
And these elites were mostly arrogant and determined. Under normal circumstances, this was a good thing, but sometimes, it was a bad thing.
Young geniuses with determined wills would easily be obsessed with the Great Dao that pointed to the Great Dao of Origins.
Even if you stopped him, he would keep thinking about those words, as if he was possessed.
At this moment, it was not good to stop him, but it was also not good to not stop him. If he allowed himself to gain insight, he would end up not gaining anything, wasting precious time!
In the history of the Tai Ah Divine City, such things had happened before. There were even elites who spent their entire lives trying to gain insight, but they became more and more indignant, eventually wasting their lives. Hence, the Tai Ah Divine City was very cautious about gaining insight in the ancient tomb. It was not easily opened to prevent people from being misled.
But Cang Yan did not play by the rules. Whoever he found "interesting" would be brought into the ancient tomb. Wasn't this harming people!?
"Old fool, geniuses from all over the world come to the Tai Ah Divine City for training. It's normal for them to die, but you are always so careful. How are you going to nurture true experts, or even sages? You object to my methods, but a few years ago, I brought that kid, Qin Haotian, in and he gained something. "
Qin Haotian used a sword. There were two chambers in the Tai Ah ancient tomb. The left chamber was for saber truths, while the right chamber was for sword truths. Qin Haotian naturally entered the sword tomb.
As for who engraved the words in the two chambers, it was still a mystery.
Elder Jian Ge shook his head, "Qin Haotian is an exception. He was born for the sword. Man and sword are almost one. Qin Haotian cannot leave the sword, so he can only use the sword. You cannot expect everyone to be like him. And that Yi Yun might not be a person who only uses a saber."
"Today is the first update. There's one more update tomorrow. As I'm outside, I have to take a bus home for the new year. It will be a bumpy journey."
