Chapter 238 - Earthly Beginning & Heavenly End (5) (2/2)

Now that he thought about it, no one was interacting with this young man. He looked towards Yan Zaizen with curiosity and patience.

Chuckling slightly, Yan Zaizen walked up to the monolith, his eyes flickering with slight anticipation. If Pinaka was here, he imagined her words. ”This monolith is irrelevant. As cultivators, we fight fate, the heavens, and each other in pursuit of a greater path.”

He missed her.

With a soft touch, he placed his palm on the white monolith. A light erupted that wrapped around his body. This light entered his body, his bones, his cells, and even his heart. It thoroughly integrated itself and seemed to be constructed of some sort of variant spiritual sense.

It felt like a small tingle throughout, but nothing painful. After a minute, the examination ended and the energy departed.

Yan Zaizen looked up, so did the rest, but after two minutes, nothing came up. After five minutes, everyone grew suspicions. Even Yan Zaizen as he placed his palm on the monolith once more, yet it received no response.

A few scoffed, believing Yan Zaizen's talent was so horrible that the test didn't even deign to offer a result report. However, Yan Zaizen had different concerns.

”Shit, did I break it?” He tapped it a few times, ”Did the formations inside shatter?” He tapped it some more, causing quite a few to laugh at his antics, but Yan Zaizen was genuinely concerned. If he broke this, Zhou Xiuhei and the rest may ask for compensation.

He didn't wish to spend a single dime.

”Hurry up! You work! You have to work!” As the rest felt pity for Yan Zaizen acts of desperation, even Ma Xiuren felt terrible. She looked at Yan Zaizen at the brink of tears.

”Please! Work!” He could already feel his currently fat wallet dwindle significantly in size. Even if his thoughts were nonsensical, he felt that there's no way in hell he'll be able to get away with this.

After a while, he sat down beside it and pondered, ”I should blame it on age, yeah. Age breaks everything.” As he was thinking of excuses, the black-haired young man walked towards Yan Zaizen.

As he approached, Yan Zaizen felt the subtle force increased. With curious eyes, he looked at the young man who stood next to him, not even looking at him. Instead, the young man placed his palm solidly on the monolith. However, no reaction occurred.

This caused Yan Zaizen to panic even more. Did he truly break it?

”It's broken, I should check the other monolith.” As he thought this, he jumped up and rapidly made his way towards the golden monolith - The Monolith of the Heavens. The others were shocked by his actions. After all, they've been taking their time thus far.

Yan Zaizen was actually in a rush to not only check the other monoliths but to finish this trial. He touched the monolith, this time even softer than before.

The monolith didn't emit a light, but a myriad of multicolor, brightly-lit motes appeared within the monolith. They floated about like butterflies, without order but in absolute beauty.

”Oh? World Law Heavenly Domain?” He immediately recognized the inside of this monolith. It was a representation of the World Law Heavenly Domain. There was the world elements, earth, fire, water, wind, metal, wood, and lightning. He could see even the fusion concepts, such as Magma and Mud.

As he looked at the representation, he realized it was like a very, very large venn diagram. With the domain as the largest circle. He could see where water crossed fire to produce steam. Where ice and water were. Water was like a large circle with ice within, but only a majority portion of it. The rest was outside interacting with other elements and laws.

”Is this…” As he glanced at the myriad laws, he felt like his understanding of the Heavenly Domain increased greatly. To him, every law was clear without an ounce of haze. If he wished, he felt that he could easily grasp a law.

However, the monolith was a barrier that could not be overcome.

The monolith deactivated, returning back to an ordinary golden cube of stone. ”This?” The others looked curiously, but unsure of Yan Zaizen's score.

However, unlike before, there was no potential or grading report, simply a number: ”33.”

”What!” The young man who was dispirited earlier shouted in disbelief. His eyes towards Yan Zaizen was that of an absolute monster. It wasn't simply him, Ma Xiuren, Bajie, and the young man with black-hair had eyes as wide as eggs, mouths slightly gaped, and disbelief written over their entire face.

After all, 33 was the highest score possible!
