"There are only 49 Primal Chaos Tablets?" Ender wondered, "Kedi was Primal Chaos City Lord's youngest Disciple before he took in Luo Feng. Logically, it shouldn't be too long until the original plot begins."
"Could it be that Primal Chaos City Lord didn't take in any Disciples for a long time after Kedi's demise?" He secretly guessed, "That's probably the only possibility."
1004 Universe Country!
49 Primal Chaos Tablets!
The Flame God Race has not yet rebelled!
All these signs indicate that there is still a long time before the original plot begins.
"The original work mentioned 52 Primal Chaos Tablets, but now there are 49, which means 3 are missing," Ender mused. "I wonder if You Hou has become a Universe Master yet? If he hasn't, he will definitely make a Primal Chaos Tablet when he becomes a Universe Master in the future."
"But if he is already a Universe Master, then there are exactly 3 Primal Chaos Tablets missing."
He recalled the Primal Chaos Tablets briefly mentioned in the original work: the heart scar chaos tablet was based on knife marks, the Huge Axe Chaos Tablet on axe marks, and the Nine Universe Primal Chaos Tablet on raindrops as entry points.
Different entry points lead to different levels of compatibility between a person and a Primal Chaos Tablet.
For instance, someone skilled in saber techniques whose Law comprehension path is similar would easily resonate with the heart scar chaos tablet, even feeling joy upon seeing it, with sets of saber techniques spontaneously appearing in their mind.
"The original work once said that the Primal Chaos Tablets are Techniques left behind by absolute beings of the Human Race," he thought to himself. "So, the Law comprehension entry point for each Primal Chaos Tablet is different."
While Ender was contemplating, the other Geniuses were incredibly excited after hearing the Black-Robed Messenger's words.
The 49 Primal Chaos Tablets contain the Great Dao leading to the Pinnacle; comprehending one can establish a Universe Country. How could this not excite them!
"These 49 Primal Chaos Tablets are the second treasure of our Primal Chaos City," the Black-Robed Messenger said with a smile. "As for the third treasure… it's outside Primal Chaos City. There's a detailed description on the stone tablet at the city gate. You'll know when you go see it for yourselves."
The group was filled with anticipation.
The first and second treasures were greatly beneficial to everyone, so the third treasure probably wouldn't be far behind.
Ender, however, was not very interested; he couldn't remember what the third treasure in the original work was.
Compared to the first two treasures, the third treasure had too little presence, and he estimated it wouldn't be of much use either.
"The 49 Primal Chaos Tablets," the Black-Robed Messenger said, "Every Cultivator who enters the Beginning Universe has one opportunity to comprehend them, and each person's comprehension time is seven days!"
"Seven days?"
The Geniuses widened their eyes; in their opinion, seven days was too short!
"The Primal Chaos Tablet is our human race's most precious treasure. It conveys the Great Dao leading to the Pinnacle more clearly than any secret technique. Seven days of comprehension is enough for you."
The Black-Robed Messenger then walked towards the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. "Come in, everyone, and prepare to choose which Primal Chaos Tablet to observe."
Led by the Black-Robed Messenger, the Geniuses entered the City Lord's Mansion and soon arrived at the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.
On the walls along both sides of the corridor hung giant paintings; there was no doubt that there were 49 of them.
"The corridor walls display 49 impressions. Each impression corresponds to a Primal Chaos Tablet. You can first observe these impressions; although the impressions cannot convey the aura contained within the Primal Chaos Tablets, they can still give you a faint sense of it."
The Black-Robed Messenger said, "You will observe these 49 impressions, and then decide which Primal Chaos Tablet to choose."
The Geniuses looked at the paintings on the walls along both sides of the corridor, somewhat dumbfounded.
So, they were to look at the paintings first, and then choose which Primal Chaos Tablet to observe.
Each painting was a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, with a name beside it.
"You have half an hour," the Black-Robed Messenger stood at the outermost part of the corridor.
Hearing that they only had half an hour, the Geniuses had no choice but to start observing.
"Little Dawn, set a timer," Ender communicated telepathically. "If I observe a Primal Chaos Tablet impression for more than 30 seconds, wake me up."
"Understood, Master," Little Dawn's pleasant voice echoed in his mind.
With the timer set, he had no worries. Half an hour was enough for him to view all 49 Primal Chaos Tablets, and he could also focus on the Primal Chaos Tablets that suited him best at the end.
Ender knew deeply that compatibility was extremely important. If he disregarded compatibility and directly chose famous Primal Chaos Tablets from the original work, such as the Huge Axe, Nine Universe, or Universe Primal Chaos Tablets, it would be problematic.
If the compatibility was high, it would be fine, but if he chose one only to find that the compatibility was insufficient and he couldn't change the Primal Chaos Tablet, his progress in Law comprehension would be slow, and he would have nowhere to cry!
Picking a random painting, Ender observed it carefully.
That painting depicted an ancient, unadorned longsword, stained with dark red clumps, whether rust or dried bloodstains was unclear.
Around the sword body were oscillating ripples, circle after circle, more than 108 of them, as if caused by unstable Space.
Upon seeing the oscillating ripples around the ancient longsword, Ender felt as if he was witnessing sword techniques imbued with Space Law, practicing one after another in his mind, immediately captivating him!
"Master, 30 seconds are up!"
Little Dawn's voice echoed in Ender's mind, promptly freeing him from the endless sword technique practice.
"This Sword Intent Primal Chaos Tablet is so strange!" Ender secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm clearly not skilled in sword techniques, yet it still made me sink into it."
Quickly turning his head, Ender looked at another Primal Chaos Tablet impression.
It was an ancient, towering tree, its leaves already withered and countless leaves falling. On this painting, the withered yellow leaves floating in mid-air, by Ender's conscious calculation ability, he could instantly determine there were definitely over ten thousand leaves.
In the painting, withered yellow leaves fell one by one.
Some leaves were still attached to the branches, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
As he watched...
Ender felt as if the withered yellow leaves falling in mid-air were like soldiers, forming military formations. Those incredibly complex military formations, a hundred leaves forming a complex small formation, and with just one more leaf, 101 leaves would make the formation instantly change in an even more miraculous way.
Little Dawn's voice came again, "Master, 30 seconds are up!"
Upon hearing this, Ender instantly sobered up, thinking, "The Yan Shan Primal Chaos Tablet is compatible with me; I'll list it as a backup."
Next, he observed many more Primal Chaos Tablet impressions, several of which were compatible with him, including the famous Nine Universe Primal Chaos Tablet.
There were still three Primal Chaos Tablet impressions left to view. When Ender looked at the 47th Primal Chaos Tablet impression, he was immediately drawn in, feeling a sense of joy and exhilaration!
The top of that impression depicted a flourishing large tree with three main branches, each bearing 36 small branches, and each small branch adorned with 36 leaves.
Looking at the large tree in this impression, this tree held a tremendous attraction for Ender. He felt as if he was seeing the mysterious emerald tree he had vaguely glimpsed when he was on the verge of death.
With this conjecture, he turned his attention to a single leaf, and instantly felt that the leaf was exceptionally familiar, as if he had observed it thousands of times!
"This is… an emerald leaf! Could it be…" He was shocked, and then speculated, "The prototype of this tree is really that mysterious emerald tree!"
"Master, 30 seconds are up!"
Little Dawn's voice woke Ender, bringing him out of his deep immersion.
Suppressing the urge to look again, he turned to the next Primal Chaos Tablet impression, but he had already listed this 'Divine Tree Primal Chaos Tablet' as his top candidate!
