Chapter 403: 218
Ba Ke Yun frowned, helplessly saying, “I know many kinds of written languages, but none of them match this one. Perhaps it’s not a script at all, but meaningless symbols that shouldn’t be studied.”
“That’s right, it’s not text.” Logan suddenly realized, “It must be runes, drawn randomly by a Holy See strongman, containing some intended meaning, or perhaps a comprehension of some laws. If we find the pattern, we can definitely decipher the meaning.”
With a direction, it took Logan only an hour to roughly decipher the content of the stone tablet. In fact, by rearranging the runes, they could be combined into a rule of law or a sentence, which was to follow the guidance of the lightning laws.
Logan held his breath, feeling the thousands of laws in the air, and successfully found the lightning laws hidden within. He then followed the trajectory of the lightning laws with Ba Ke Yun as they moved forward.
The man in front of the stone tablet stood dumbfounded, “How is this possible? I’ve been here for two days without breaking it, and they’ve only been here for about an hour and seem to have gone to the next challenge?”
He scratched his head, knowing that if he continued at this pace, he would have no hope of seizing the opportunity. He decided to call in the tens of thousands of people outside. Although this would reduce his own chances of obtaining the coveted object, he wouldn’t be stuck at this stage.
He walked to the edge of the mist barrier and loudly shouted to the outside, “Everyone come in! This mist barrier is just an illusion, don’t doubt it anymore! I’ve been in here for two days, and nothing has happened.”
As soon as these words were uttered, the tens of thousands of people outside went crazy, one by one crossing the barrier. They didn’t look kindly at the man inside, nor did they feel any gratitude.
“I say, you have no decency at all. It’s clear that there was nothing happening, so why didn’t you say anything earlier? You secretly stayed here for two days, didn’t you take away the opportunity?”
“Too despicable. If you don’t explain it clearly, take responsibility for the consequences. You’re just a Middle Defender Overstep, and among us, there are those in the Throne Realm. It only takes a word to kill you.”
“Thousands of people come together to seek opportunities, and you treat everyone like fools. Even if you get it, can you digest it in your hands? It’s better to take it out and save your life.”
Facing everyone’s accusations, the man was in tears, “Everyone, although I managed to pass through the mist, I’m stuck here. I can’t decipher the text on that stone tablet.”
Let alone the opportunity, he was already exhausted after two days and even started to doubt himself. The tens of thousands of people looked at the stone tablet and went over one after another. The strange writing on the stone tablet left them all bewildered, and they couldn’t see any clues after studying it for a long time.
Some were still trying to decipher it, while more than half of them were dozing off on the sidelines, playing the trick of waiting for others to solve it – leaving the hard and tiring work for these people. Anyway, once it was solved, everyone would benefit together.
Among the tens of thousands of people, there were naturally some clever ones. They saw the trick in the stone tablet and finally deciphered it together after five or six hours.
“It’s simple. The text on the stone tablet is a signpost. It tells everyone to follow the guidance of the lightning laws. Even if we didn’t look at the stone tablet, there are only two paths here, with a probability of one in two.”
When the answer was revealed, not a single thank you was heard. Instead, everyone anxiously followed the instructions, fearing that they would be one step behind and lose the advantage, and continued to move forward in the mountains.
Meanwhile, Logan and Ba Ke Yun didn’t know how long they had been walking, but at the foot of a mountain, they saw an old man meditating. The old man looked very simple and emitted an inexplicable pressure. At this moment, the world seemed to have come to a standstill, and both of them couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
Logan naturally understood that this must be the Holy See Strong Dominator. However, no matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to be near death. Judging by the aura, the Strong Dominator was so powerful that even ten of Logan were no match for him.
The old man opened his eyes and looked at Logan, “Not bad. You arrived a full ten days earlier than I expected. My two checkpoints were simple, but because everyone else made them so complicated, it would take even those with high understanding fifteen days. However, you two arrived in just three days.”
“Senior, tens of thousands of people have come to compete for your closed-door discipleship. How many people do you want to choose? What is being tested this time? Rumor has it that you’re about to die, but I don’t think so. Maybe I’m being presumptuous.”
Logan looked deep into the man’s eyes and asked without any arrogance or humility, “I’m a mundane person, just want to ask, can I get the chance? Everything comes down to fate, after all, I’m the first one here, so it can be counted as fate.”
“Right, you’re bolder than the average Strong Dominator. They all tremble and dare not speak to me, especially as straightforward as you. This is a rare sight in a hundred years!”
The old man didn’t get angry, but appreciated it, “Your understanding is good, and your character is good too. You’re indeed a good candidate for a disciple. But with tens of thousands of people coming, it has to be fair, and I can’t just decide it’s you.”
“I am indeed about to die, but as a Holy See, my cultivation has reached a level that countless others can’t match. As long as I don’t die, I’m like a god, controlling everything like insignificant ants.”
“Moreover, I have a long life, so even if I’m about to die, maybe I only have one minute left to live, or maybe I have a hundred years. After all, I can live for ten thousand years, so that’s my answer to you.”
Logan nodded and stretched, “Okay, I’m going to rest for a while, and wait for the tens of thousands of people to come.” After clearing his doubts, Logan had no more questions and looked forward to the opportunity.
“There’s something wrong with you.” Ba Ke Yun didn’t walk away, but stared continuously at the old man. He didn’t lower his head because of the old man’s pressure, but instead seemed to want to see through him. This continued for some time, and the old man remained silent and didn’t reply to Ba Ke Yun.
After a long time, Ba Ke Yun finally walked away. Logan asked, puzzled, “What’s the matter? The old man is a Holy See, and his cultivation has reached the peak. He’s invincible. Could there really be a conspiracy?”
“I don’t know, it might just be my intuition. The old man didn’t tell the truth, but he might have played it perfectly without revealing any flaws. However, my gut feeling has never been wrong since I was a child.”
Ba Ke Yun calmly said, having been chased since he was a child, he had developed an extraordinary ability to read people’s faces and judge their thoughts, as well as discerning whether a person had ulterior motives.
