Chapter 106 Tablet of Comprehension

After a moment of silence, Xue Jiye responded to Yuan’s question regarding the special jade slip, "In order to obtain the special jade slip, you must comprehend at least 70 percent of the cultivation technique. Furthermore, you have only 7 days to study the stone tablet."

"Of course, the better your results, the better cultivation technique you’ll get to learn, but that also means you’ll need much longer to understand the technique, as stronger cultivation techniques are more often than not more complex and profound. However, no matter what cultivation technique the stone tablet gives you, the requirements are the same."

"I understand," Yuan nodded.

"Good. Do you have any more questions? If you do not, you may begin the test. The moment the Tablet of Comprehension reveals your cultivation technique is the moment your timer begins." she asked him.

"How do I know how much of the cultivation technique I have comprehended in the end?" Yuan asked her.

"The Tablet of Comprehension will let us know the results by the light it emits. A white glow means you have comprehended 10 percent of the cultivation technique which is required for you to pass this test. A green glow means you have understood 25 percent of the technique. It will glow an azure-colored light past 50 percent and a red light at 70 percent. At 80 percent, the stone tablet will emit a black light, and 90 percent will emit a golden light."

"What about 100 percent?" Yuan asked her out of curiosity.

"100 percent? That has never happened before so I don’t know. In fact, nobody knows what will happen— not even the Founder who only managed to comprehend 90 percent in seven days." Xue Jiye shook her head.

Sometime later, Yuan walked to the tall stone tablet and stood before it.

"It’s assessing your results and picking the perfect technique for you so give it a few minutes," Xue Jiye said to him as she pulled out a chair from her spatial ring before sitting down and watching him with a nonchalant expression on her face.

’Hm? Wait a second... This guy... This guy is a fifth level Spirit Warrior?! His cultivation is even higher than mine— two levels higher!’ Xue Jiye was shocked when she realized Yuan’s cultivation base.

’Just how old is this guy? His voice sounded very young— even younger than me!’ Xue Jiye cried inwardly.

Meanwhile, in the spectators’ room, the sect elders there started to gamble with each other.

"I am betting 100 contribution points that he’ll achieve 50 percent understanding in 7 days!"

"I will bet 50 contribution points that he will reach 70 percent!"

"Since you guys are favoring him so much, I shall do the opposite! 100 contribution points that he’ll reach less than 50 percent!"

"One thousand contribution points that he’ll reach 90 percent." Long Yijun suddenly joined the fun, dumbfounding the sect elders.

"1,000 contribution points? That’s ten years’ worth of contribution points!" The sect elders exclaimed.

"How about you, Elder Xuan? Wanna make a bet? Whoever guesses correctly will obtain all contribution points placed in this bet."

"Hmm..." Elder Xuan looked at Yuan’s figure from the treasure for a moment before speaking, "Then I shall bid 500 contribution points that he’ll be the first person in history to reach 100 percent understanding."

"What? 100 percent?"

Everybody in the room looked at him with wide eyes.

"Aren’t you giving him too much credit, Elder Xuan? Although his talent is definitely on par with the Founder’s talent, even the Founder could only reach 90 percent after 7 days. Furthermore, because of his excellent results from the previous tests, one can only imagine what kind of technique he’ll get, but one thing is for sure, and that is the technique won’t be a weak one."

Long Yijun also chimed in, "I agree with Elder Xin. With his results, he’ll get to learn at least an Earth-grade if not a Heaven-grade cultivation technique from the Tablet of Comprehension. I don’t know about you, but I have never seen or heard of anyone that can fully comprehend an Earth-grade technique within 7 days, much less a Heaven-grade."

"Well, it wouldn’t be a gamble if I don’t go against the odds, right?" Elder Xuan laughed.

"Anyway, what is the most powerful cultivation technique the Tablet of Comprehension can reveal? The highest grade I have seen so far is at the Earth-grade, which happened 300 years ago."

Hearing Elder Xuan’s question, Long Yijun said, "According to the Dragon Essence Temple’s record, since the sect’s founding, there have only been three people who received a cultivation technique above the Earth-grade from the stone tablet, and they were all at the Heaven-grade."

"However, as for the Founder... Although nobody knows what kind of technique he’d received, it was rumored to be a Divine-grade technique."

"A Divine-grade technique, huh?" Elder Xuan mumbled with a profound expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Yuan stood before the Tablet of Comprehension without moving a muscle, patiently waiting for it to reveal his cultivation technique.

About ten minutes later, Yuan’s eyebrows suddenly twitched, as he could see lines that became symbols appearing on the Tablet of Comprehension.

"The Tablet of Comprehension has picked your cultivation technique! Your time starts now! Remember, you only have 7 days to comprehend as much of the technique as you can!" Xue Jiye said to him after seeing this.

Yuan immediately sat down in the lotus position and proceeded to stare at the stone tablet with an intensive gaze, looking as though he was trying to stare a hole in the stone tablet.

A few more minutes later, the symbols stopped appearing on the stone tablet.

Although he couldn’t understand the symbols at first, after staring at the stone tablet for a few minutes, the symbols actually began moving and formed a picture! However, only Yuan was able to see this change on the stone tablet, whilst Xue Jiye and the others could only see a wall of still symbols!

"Dragon’s Gaze?" Yuan suddenly mumbled these two words after staring at the picture that resembled an eyeball for many minutes with a seemingly mesmerized look on his face.

At the same moment Yuan learned of the technique’s name, the stone tablet emitted a white glow, shocking Xue Jiye, and the others.

’Impossible! Only fifteen minutes have passed since he sat down!’ Xue Jiye immediately stood up from shock after seeing this white glow, indicating that Yuan has already understood 10 percent of the technique!
