Lin Yuan had figured out all the stone statues, and he only needed to touch any of them to pass through.
“Choose one of those sixteen statues,” she said.
Lin Yuan looked towards the sixteen huge statues that contained evolutionary pathways surpassing Sixth Rank.
The Seventh Star Cave was a test, naturally involving a ranking.
Comprehending evolutionary pathways beyond Sixth Rank, compared to those of the Sixth Rank, would naturally receive different evaluations in the eyes of the Red Kun Lineage.
Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding his abilities; having decided to join the Red Kun Lineage, he certainly wouldn’t be worse than those three Red Patternn Examiners.
According to what Fang Qing had said, joining the Red Kun Lineage meant becoming a disciple under one of the twelve Star Lords.
And the strongest three among these twelve Star Lord disciples had all surpassed Sixth Rank.
“Which one should I choose?”
Lin Yuan’s gaze lingered on the sixteen statues.
“This one it is,” he declared.
Lin Yuan looked towards the terrifying stone statue of the Taiyang that was more than ten meters tall.
This statue, containing an evolutionary pathway surpassing Sixth Rank, was utterly firm and positive, complementing Lin Yuan’s Taiji Dao.
“Hold on.”
“Once you touch it, you have to leave this treasure land.”
Before making a move, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a reluctance to leave.
Throughout these twenty-odd days, even though he hardly rested, the gains had left him immensely satisfied.
“There shouldn’t be anything I’ve missed.”
Lin Yuan’s gaze swept back and forth across the summit, reviewing all one hundred and thirty-six statues.
Dividing the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues into strong and weak was naturally done by size.
For example, the statues two or three meters high contained Sixth Rank evolutionary pathways.
Those over ten meters tall contained pathways surpassing Sixth Rank.
In fact, even among the Sixth Rank evolutionary pathways, there was a distinction between statues two meters high and those three meters high.
Those statues nearly three meters tall, though also containing Sixth Rank evolutionary pathways, were definitely stronger than those two meters tall.
The same was true for those surpassing ten meters.
Among the statues containing evolutionary pathways beyond Sixth Rank, some were only eleven meters high, while others nearly reached fifteen or sixteen meters.
The evolutionary pathways contained within these two types of statues, of course, meant that the latter was a bit stronger.
“Did I miss anything?”
“Did I miss anything?”
Lin Yuan scanned all one hundred and thirty-six statues and then looked over the entire summit, even beginning to observe the mountain beneath his feet.
“The mountain peak?”
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Inside the Seventh Star Cave.
The cosmic starry skies were merely the background.
Visible, but untouchable.
What the examiners could come into contact with were only the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues—
And the towering mountain peak underfoot.
If one were to talk about size,
Merging all one hundred and thirty-six stone statues together
Would still be far from matching the magnitude of the mountain underfoot.
“The peak of the mountain?”
Lin Yuan fell thud onto the ground, laying completely flat, his awareness slowly spreading out, beginning to sense the mountain pressed against his back.
Imposing.
Majestic.
Substantial.
“Can this mountain…also be comprehended?”
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but immerse himself in it.
In just a moment, Lin Yuan sensed the vastness and inclusiveness of the mountain beneath him.
As if the entire world existed within this mountain, be it Sixth Rank evolutionary pathways or those surpassing it,
All were merely a part of this mountain.
“How perfect….”
Lin Yuan’s heart trembled; on this mountain, he saw everything, including the Taiji Dao he had established himself.
“Why?”
“Why have I only noticed this mountain now?”
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
What is the most noticeable thing within the Seventh Star Cave?
The cosmic starry sky? The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues?
Neither.
The most noticeable was the mountain peak beneath their feet.
Standing against the background of the cosmic starry sky, the mountain peak was the first thing all the evolvers saw upon entering the Seventh Star Cave.
Only afterwards did they notice the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues.
But,
Such an obvious mountain peak, why did nobody pay attention to it?
“Is it due to a lack of Realm? After figuring out the one hundred and thirty-six evolutionary pathways, my cognitive realm has greatly improved. When I focus on the mountain, I then have an epiphany…”
Compared to the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues, the mountain underfoot was too vast.
Just like the cosmic starry sky, even if Lin Yuan gazed at it for a long time, he wouldn’t gain much, because the difference in their levels was too great.
Against-Heaven’s Understanding was not omnipotent; it depended on the height Lin Yuan had achieved.
Time slowly passed.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days…
…
In the Mysterious Space.
The gaze of twelve figures fell upon Lin Yuan once more.
“What is he doing?”
“Lying on the ground to rest?”
The twelve figures were dumbfounded.
They had already more or less gotten used to Lin Yuan’s wandering for more than half a month.
But now, Lin Yuan had become even more extreme, foregoing wandering altogether and simply lying down listlessly.
“Is it because he did not find a statue suitable for himself?” one of the figures below guessed.
In the past twenty-odd days, Lin Yuan had circled through all one hundred and thirty-six statues, finally sitting down to rest at the end.
If Lin Yuan had found a suitable statue, he would’ve been eager to comprehend it.
The scene now could only indicate that among the one hundred and thirty-six statues, none contained an evolutionary pathway suitable for Lin Yuan.
“He’s giving up just like that?”
Among the three figures above, Gu Ze’s eyebrows furrowed once again.
He too thought that Lin Yuan might not have found a suitable statue.
But even if they were unsuitable, one could still forcefully comprehend them.
The pathways contained within the statues merely facilitated comprehension speed if they matched one’s own.
Even if they were unsuitable, forcing comprehension would still yield gains.
The sixteen statues that contained pathways surpassing the Sixth Rank were too difficult to forcibly comprehend,
But one could still try to comprehend the other statues containing Sixth Rank pathways.
