Logan looked at the text on the stone tablet, and for a moment, he couldnât understand it either. The writing was too bizarre, beyond his comprehension, with each stroke drawn chaotically and disorderly.
Ba Ke Yun frowned, helplessly saying, âI know many kinds of written languages, but none of them match this one. Perhaps itâs not a script at all, but meaningless symbols that shouldnât be studied.â
âThatâs right, itâs not text.â Logan suddenly realized, âIt 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.â
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, âHow is this possible? Iâve been here for two days without breaking it, and theyâve only been here for about an hour and seem to have gone to the next challenge?â
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 wouldnât be stuck at this stage.
He walked to the edge of the mist barrier and loudly shouted to the outside, âEveryone come in! This mist barrier is just an illusion, donât doubt it anymore! Iâve been in here for two days, and nothing has happened.â
As soon as these words were uttered, the tens of thousands of people outside went crazy, one by one crossing the barrier. They didnât look kindly at the man inside, nor did they feel any gratitude.
âI say, you have no decency at all. Itâs clear that there was nothing happening, so why didnât you say anything earlier? You secretly stayed here for two days, didnât you take away the opportunity?â
âToo despicable. If you donât explain it clearly, take responsibility for the consequences. Youâre just a Middle Defender Overstep, and among us, there are those in the Throne Realm. It only takes a word to kill you.â
âThousands 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? Itâs better to take it out and save your life.â
Facing everyoneâs accusations, the man was in tears, âEveryone, although I managed to pass through the mist, Iâm stuck here. I canât decipher the text on that stone tablet.â
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 couldnât 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 â 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.
âItâs simple. The text on the stone tablet is a signpost. It tells everyone to follow the guidance of the lightning laws. Even if we didnât look at the stone tablet, there are only two paths here, with a probability of one in two.â
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 didnât 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 couldnât 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 didnât 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, âNot 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.â
âSenior, 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 youâre about to die, but I donât think so. Maybe Iâm being presumptuous.â
Logan looked deep into the manâs eyes and asked without any arrogance or humility, âIâm a mundane person, just want to ask, can I get the chance? Everything comes down to fate, after all, Iâm the first one here, so it can be counted as fate.â
âRight, youâre 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!â
The old man didnât get angry, but appreciated it, âYour understanding is good, and your character is good too. Youâre indeed a good candidate for a disciple. But with tens of thousands of people coming, it has to be fair, and I canât just decide itâs you.â
âI am indeed about to die, but as a Holy See, my cultivation has reached a level that countless others canât match. As long as I donât die, Iâm like a god, controlling everything like insignificant ants.â
âMoreover, I have a long life, so even if Iâm 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 thatâs my answer to you.â
Logan nodded and stretched, âOkay, Iâm going to rest for a while, and wait for the tens of thousands of people to come.â After clearing his doubts, Logan had no more questions and looked forward to the opportunity.
âThereâs something wrong with you.â Ba Ke Yun didnât walk away, but stared continuously at the old man. He didnât lower his head because of the old manâs pressure, but instead seemed to want to see through him. This continued for some time, and the old man remained silent and didnât reply to Ba Ke Yun.
After a long time, Ba Ke Yun finally walked away. Logan asked, puzzled, âWhatâs the matter? The old man is a Holy See, and his cultivation has reached the peak. Heâs invincible. Could there really be a conspiracy?â
âI donât know, it might just be my intuition. The old man didnât 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.â
Ba Ke Yun calmly said, having been chased since he was a child, he had developed an extraordinary ability to read peopleâs faces and judge their thoughts, as well as discerning whether a person had ulterior motives.
