Chapter 293: Peak of Dao Essence (2/2)

---

7 hours had passed since the dao comprehension started. It was already evening.

So far, no one had reached an understanding of 10% in the ancient text. But there were a very few who comprehended to the utmost of 8%.

Though this sounded so little in amount, this 8% of comprehension benefitted them in a generous way. After all, they had gotten so many insights and inspirations for this. In fact, they could also feel that they were about to reach a breakthrough because of this.

”No one else?” Elder Zuwo asked everyone since no one was stepping forward. Though he was smiling, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of disappointment in his expression for a certain reason.

This peak was only open until midnight. After midnight, the gate would automatically close whether there were still people or not. And for those who would be stuck in this place, they could just await their death here since the oxygen would be very thin and would be thinner until almost none as time passed by.

”I will try.” Just when Elder Zuwo was about to end this event, a child walked over calmly. All eyes were on him as he walked towards the large stone.

”That is...” Among the crowd, Brother Yu recognized this child and couldn't help but grind his teeth when he remembered that thing, ”Isn't it that bastard's child?”

”So since he's here, that man is also here right?” Brother Yu thought. And after a moment of contemplation, he smiled sinisterly as he thought of something entertaining.

Brother Yu and Fairy Qing were one of the few who had comprehended the dao by 8%, thus, Brother Yu knew that in times of conflict, Elder Zuwo would side with him.

Elder Zuwo was surprised to see a child, who wasn't even cultivating yet, to try his luck. But there was no rule that stating that only cultivators could comprehend the dao so he let the child be and see what's he's going to do.

For some unknown reason, Elder Zuwo was expecting something from this child.

Xiu'er touched the stone a bit and closed his eyes. He walked slowly while his hand was still touching the stone.

The process was simple yet elegant in a sense. It took Xiu'er almost twenty minutes before releasing his touch from the stone.

”The light is the saber, the darkness is the flesh. Light is the fairy...”

These words stupefied everyone immediately as numbers appeared on the stone, ”28%”

Everyone was speechless at this moment.
