Chapter 1073: Chaos Stone Inscription
This stall occasionally attracts visitors, and judging by their expressions, they all seem to be Divine Masters newly arrived at Bluegold City.
After observing the stall for a while, Ye Chen seized the moment when no one was around and approached the stall.
The stall owner was a pot-bellied middle-aged man, looking more like a merchant than a powerful figure. Yet, Ye Chen sensed a formidable aura from him, one typically possessed by Divine Masters and Masters.
"This fellow cultivator..."
Seeing someone approach, the stall owner raised his head to greet them, and upon seeing the youthful Ye Chen, he seemed to sense Ye Chen's realm and laughed, "Oh, could it be that the young friend is one of the thirty young talents from different universes who have newly arrived at Bluegold City?"
"I am nicknamed 'Know-it-all of Bluegold City.' As someone new here, if you have any doubts or wish to inquire about anything, you've come to the right person. Is there anything you want to ask, fellow cultivator?"
The stall owner's words made Ye Chen's eyes light up.
While being guided around Bluegold City by the Master earlier, Ye Chen had noticed that many curious Divine Masters frequent this special stall in the area.
Ye Chen had speculated that he might be able to gather some information here.
Seeing the stall owner's demeanor and his ability to mention the thirty young talents from different universes visiting Bluegold City directly, it was clear that this person was indeed well-informed.
This kind of person was precisely what Ye Chen needed upon arriving at Bluegold City.
"You have sharp eyes, senior. I am indeed new to Bluegold City and have some matters I wish to inquire about," Ye Chen said.
"You've come to the right place," the stall owner chuckled, his eyes squinting with laughter, "Feel free to ask anything, young friend. However, some information requires Bluegold points to purchase. I hope you understand."
Ye Chen nodded with a smile and began conversing with the stall owner.
After a stick of incense had burned, Ye Chen finally left the stall.
Once Ye Chen vanished from sight, the stall owner stared at the spot where Ye Chen disappeared, his gaze turning unusually sharp: "This young man is not ordinary."
"His realm is only at Earth Divine Venerable Realm, yet his combat power is exceedingly strong. Even if he suppresses it deliberately, he gives me an incredibly strange sensation."
"His thinking is also very clear. As I know, the thirty young talents here were each given one hundred thousand Bluegold points. Many might have spent their points directly on cultivation, but he found me and was willing to spend a tenth of his points to buy information from me."
"Although he spent ten thousand Bluegold points here, the information and advice I provided him are worth far more than ten thousand points!"
"It seems that during his time in Bluegold City, this person is bound to grow significantly..."
"Even though formally the thirty-six great forces give them ten thousand Bluegold points and leave them alone afterward, they actually pay attention to their progress. Depending on their advancements in the Primal Beginning Universe, they might arrange special opportunities for them in the future."
"I might pay more attention to see how this young man develops."
The stall owner muttered while watching where Ye Chen disappeared.
As Ye Chen flew towards a certain area in Bluegold City, other talents spread across the various parts of the city.
Inside a special grand hall of Bluegold City, a massive Luminous Disk flickered with Divine Light, clearly displaying the names, realms, and various data of Ye Chen, Yu Shendu, Qianli Youyou, and thirty other talents, along with their originating universes and associated great forces.
As these talents began their activities in Bluegold City, everyone's data constantly changed.
Different top figures from various great forces frequently visited this Luminous Disk to observe something!
Ye Chen was unaware of the stall owner's muttered words and equally unaware that his actions and progress, along with those of other talents, were being monitored by the thirty-six great forces.
Having left the previous stall, Ye Chen directly flew toward the "Chaos Origin Mountain" mentioned by the guiding Master earlier.
As he flew, Ye Chen thought to himself: "No wonder the Master took us to the Chaos Origin Mountain at first; it turns out that area is most suitable for us newcomers to cultivate!"
"Moreover, the 'Chaos Stone Carvings' at Chaos Origin Mountain number seventy-two in total, each with different uses. According to the stall owner, some of them are particularly suitable for my cultivation!"
"After cultivating at Chaos Origin Mountain, if Bluegold points are insufficient, going to another place named 'Temporal Temple' for tasks is most suitable, so I plan to visit 'Temporal Temple' later!"
"This time I've gathered quite a lot of useful information; it's worth spending ten thousand Bluegold points."
Although Ye Chen was new to Bluegold City, he already had a rough plan in mind for cultivating and exploring the city.
After flying for a short while, Ye Chen arrived once again at the foot of Chaos Origin Mountain.
Looking up at the mountain shrouded in dense fog, Ye Chen sensed an immense flying prohibition within the mountain, making it impossible to fly inside. Ye Chen stepped forward and headed into Chaos Origin Mountain.
Upon entering Chaos Origin Mountain, Ye Chen noticed the golden card he carried illuminated, and a thousand Bluegold points were deducted from it.
Staying inside Chaos Origin Mountain costs a thousand points per day, and the points had started to deplete!
Adding the ten thousand points spent on information earlier, Ye Chen's golden card now held only eighty-nine thousand points.
Enough for eighty-nine days of cultivation in Chaos Origin Mountain.
However, Ye Chen seemed utterly unconcerned about the depletion of Bluegold points.
He headed directly to a spot halfway up Chaos Origin Mountain.
Before long, Ye Chen entered a massive structure named "Combat Power Hall" within the mountainside of Chaos Origin Mountain.
Upon entering "Combat Power Hall," Ye Chen immediately sensed a brilliant Divine Light enveloping him, seemingly probing every source of combat power within him.
Ye Chen sensed that besides the power from the Primordial Star Scripture, his Eternal God Body, Heavenly Forbidden Flame, and even Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound were all being examined.
Following that, a peculiar light screen appeared directly in front of Ye Chen.
"Earth Divine Venerable, number 15567893, combat power level 89."
"Break through to combat power levels 90-100 within 30 days to receive a reward ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 Bluegold points."
"Break through to combat power levels 100-200 within 30 days to receive a reward ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000 Bluegold points."
"Break through to combat power levels 200-300 within 30 days to receive a reward ranging from 100,000 to 400,000 Bluegold points."
"..."
"Break through to combat power levels 90-100 within 30-60 days, no reward."
"Break through to combat power levels above 100 within 30-60 days to receive a reward ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 Bluegold points."
"..."
Various rewards for breakthroughs were clearly displayed on the peculiar light screen.
Evidently, this place was as the Master mentioned, capable of sensing cultivators' breakthroughs and providing Bluegold point rewards!
Though Ye Chen was unaware of the specific combat power implications of levels 89, 90, 100, etc., he realized from the rewards that the shorter the time and the greater the improvement, the more Bluegold points earned.
This filled Ye Chen, who had limited Bluegold points, with determination!
After leaving the Combat Power Hall, Ye Chen headed to higher places within Chaos Origin Mountain.
Upon reaching the summit area, Ye Chen saw that the mountain top was like a fairyland shrouded in endless celestial qi.
Within, countless people were seated in meditation.
Also visible were huge stone blocks, tens of feet high, each separated by considerable distance, standing in the infinite celestial qi.
In total, there were seventy-two such massive stone blocks!
Looking at the surface of each stone block, he saw that, rather than words, there were lines that seemed entirely random.
Upon examining these lines closely, they seemed to contain entire worlds!
Mysterious and unparalleled.
Chaos Stone Carvings.
These seventy-two massive stone blocks were precisely the most precious Chaos Stone Carvings in Chaos Origin Mountain, capable of greatly enhancing cultivation.
Ye Chen walked in front of the seventy-two Chaos Stone Carvings, scrutinizing each one before he sat down in front of the one numbered "17."
