Chapter 144 Young people shouldn't be too ambitious! Bolan and the black-robed envoy offered their kind advice!
Along the way, the messenger explained many rules and taboos of Chaos City, and then they finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
This is a magnificent building that is over 300 meters tall. From a distance, you can see the three most dazzling characters in the universal language of the city lord's mansion: "City Lord's Mansion".
These three characters seem to possess a magical power; looking at the handwriting, one can't help but be drawn in, as if the handwriting itself contains its own space.
It was as if the universe itself was being absorbed, as if one's entire spirit was being drawn into the cosmic space within the characters.
The geniuses were so frightened that they all lowered their heads and dared not look any further.
"Just look at the three big characters 'City Lord's Mansion' once, don't look at them too often," the black-robed envoy laughed. "It will make you dizzy."
Even immortal beings wouldn't dare to stare at it for too long.
"Oh?"
"That's amazing!"
Many geniuses who hadn't paid attention to those three words before turned a curious look and fell for the trap.
"Haha—" The black-robed envoy burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.
When receiving powerful beings, it's usually a bit awkward to be a little reserved, but it's much easier to deal with these little guys.
It seemed close, but it was actually far. Even though a group of people walked very fast, it took them several minutes to reach the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Messengers dressed in black robes frequently come and go from the city lord's mansion, and occasionally one can see some realm lords, or even immortal beings, entering and leaving the city lord's mansion.
"Chaos City is the only city in the initial universe," the black-robed envoy introduced with a smile.
"In Chaos City, there are three treasures."
Almost all the geniuses' eyes lit up, and they listened intently.
"The first of these three treasures, as everyone knows, is naturally the law of the universe's operation, which can be seen with the naked eye," the black-robed envoy said with a smile.
"The second treasure is inside this city lord's mansion, which is also the place I'll take you to in a bit."
"As for the third treasure, it is located outside Chaos City."
A group of young people looked at the black-robed messenger with curiosity.
The black-robed envoy pointed around and patiently explained, "These are the rooftops of cultivation residences around here. Over the years, many powerful individuals have lived here. When they were cultivating, sometimes a flash of inspiration would strike them, and they would immediately record it on the ground in front of them. Then they would carefully study it and, if they gained any insights, they would record them as well."
"Over the years, Chaos City has developed this tradition. Because it is purely a matter of recording at will, without any rules, many of the records are only fragments, so most of them can only serve as a reference at most."
"However, over the years, there are still some very strong and systematic cultivation values among the countless records of sudden enlightenment."
The black-robed envoy solemnly declared, "In my Chaos City, there are 52 most precious Chaos Steles. Each stele records numerous mysterious patterns. These 52 Chaos Steles represent 52 major paths of cultivation, leading directly to the pinnacle of cultivation!"
"If you comprehend a Chaos Stele, you will directly become a true super being in the universe. Even if you want to create a universe kingdom, it will be a piece of cake."
Apart from Zhou Ze, the others, including Luo Feng, held their breath; all the geniuses were more or less excited.
This is a really good pie in the sky—.—
Zhou Ze thought to himself silently.
To truly comprehend something requires at least the wisdom of a cosmic master; it's not that simple.
"These 52 Chaos Tablets are the second treasure of our Chaos City," the black-robed envoy said with a smile. "After you go in, you will need to choose the Chaos Tablet that suits you best—"
"As for the third treasure, it is located outside Chaos City. There is a detailed description on the stone tablet at the city gate. You can find out for yourselves."
The city lord's mansion occupies a huge area; even the rooftop of an ordinary cultivation residence is hundreds of meters long and wide, which gives you an idea of how large the city lord's mansion is.
"The Chaos Stele is the most precious treasure of our human race. It transmits the path to the ultimate Dao more clearly than any secret technique. Every cultivator who enters the Primordial Universe has one opportunity to comprehend it, and each person has seven days to do so!"
"Each person can only choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend."
After the black-robed envoy finished speaking, he walked towards the main gate of the city lord's mansion: "Come in, all of you, and prepare to choose to observe the Chaos Stele."
"Seven days?" A group of young people stared wide-eyed. Seven days was far too short, even for them.
Soon, the black-robed messenger led the group to a corridor with huge paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.
"There are 52 rubbings of images hanging on the corridor walls, each corresponding to a Chaos Stele. Take a look at these images. Although they cannot convey the aura contained within the Chaos Steles, they can still allow you to vaguely sense it. Now, look at these 52 images."
Then decide which Chaos Stele to choose.
"That's what the black-robed messenger said."
Zhou Ze and a group of young people walked along the corridor, looking at the paintings on the walls on both sides.
Each of these 52 paintings is a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, and each painting is accompanied by a name.
"You have half an hour," the black-robed messenger reminded him from the far end of the corridor.

Zhou Ze started by looking at the first picture, then another, and soon found the picture he planned to choose, "The Cosmic Chaos Monument".
Beside him, Berlan also kept staring at the painting.
"Is this guy still not giving up and still insisting on choosing the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'?" Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow.
I thought that after the setback in the Battle of the Peak Geniuses, Bolan wouldn't choose the Cosmic Chaos Stele, which cultivates both time and space. But now it seems that he still wants to choose the Cosmic Chaos Stele, which is quite interesting.
After looking at the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" for a while, Zhou Ze looked away and began to observe the remaining Chaos Monuments.
Soon, the black-robed messenger shouted:
"Alright, we'll be there in half an hour. Now tell me which Chaos Stele you choose so I can record it," the black-robed envoy shouted.
"I choose 'The Giant Axe Chaos Monument'."
"I choose 'Dragon's Chaos Stele'."
A group of young people chose which Chaos Stele they wanted to comprehend, with the Giant Axe Chaos Stele being the most popular choice.
Tu Man chose the "Giant Axe Chaos Stele," which was clearly the most suitable for him.
Thor chose the "Thunder Spirit Chaos Stele," Clark chose the "Cosmic Chaos Stele," while Luo Feng hesitated and transmitted his thoughts to Zhou Ze:
"Teacher, I'm a little unsure how to choose?"
"I felt quite connected to 38 of these 52 paintings, but I was somewhat torn between the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele' and the 'Heart Trace Chaos Stele'."
"I remember you told me that martial artists have an advantage over mentalists in the later stages, but right now my ranged attacks are much stronger than my melee attacks—"
Luo Feng shared his concerns with Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze transmitted his voice, saying, "That's too far. Your current advantage is ranged attacks, so keep that. Besides, as I said, no matter what attack method you use, the most important thing is your understanding of the fundamental laws. Actually, it won't have much impact in the future."
"Okay, then I'll choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."
The black-robed messenger quickly recorded more than seven hundred people before coming to Zhou Ze's side.
"Which Chaos Stele do you choose?" the black-robed messenger asked.
"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'," Zhou Ze said calmly. "Are you sure?" The black-robed envoy was slightly surprised and kindly reminded him, "Young man, don't aim too high!"
"The 'Cosmic Chaos Stele' is not so easy to comprehend; it requires simultaneous cultivation of the two superior laws: the Law of Time and the Law of Space."
This is a thousand times more difficult than the other Chaos Monuments!
"I've documented many battles of geniuses, and I've almost never encountered a genius who chose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'."
Bolan, standing behind him, hesitated slightly: "Apprentice, you should choose another Chaos Stele—"
Zhou Ze glanced at Bolan sideways, then looked at the black-robed envoy and nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, but I still want to challenge myself."
"Alright then." The black-robed envoy didn't try to persuade him further, as he felt he had said all he could.
Berlan didn't say much either.
Around Zhou Ze, many young geniuses looked at him with unusual eyes. They were both cultivating the laws of time and space. This guy was at least in the top ten. Didn't he know how difficult it was to comprehend the higher-level laws? It would be difficult to comprehend even one, let alone two.
It seems they don't have much of a background and are unaware of the consequences of choosing the most difficult "Cosmic Chaos Monument".
The black-robed envoy quickly finished recording everyone's choices, then turned around and smiled, saying, "I have sent out your choices."
Come with me.
Zhou Ze and his 1000 companions followed the black-robed envoy out of the corridor and continued deeper into the city lord's mansion. A short while later, they arrived at a spacious training ground within the mansion.
This training ground is very spacious, stretching for tens of kilometers in length and width.
A thousand people gathered here, and the black-robed messenger stood in front of them.
"Currently, among the 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers, 12 chambers are occupied, while the other 40 are empty," the black-robed envoy said, looking at the group of young people before him.
"Now, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Steles."
"The Chaos Stele of Yanshan" and "The Chaos Stele of Heart Traces"
The black-robed messenger quickly recited the names of forty Chaos Steles in one breath.
"Those who chose these 40 Chaos Steles, go directly to the leftmost entrance ahead. You will be assigned to different secret chambers." The black-robed envoy then pointed to a distant entrance on the left side of the training ground, nearly thirty meters high:
"Alright, you can go now."
