Chapter 102 Leaving One After Another

Beneath the giant 'Rubik's Cube', Lin Yuan observed carefully.

Compared to the two-or-three-meter-tall stone statues in front, the 'Rubik's Cube' was not stationary, but slowly rotating.

With his naked eyes, Lin Yuan could see that the six faces of the 'Rubik's Cube' intersected with each other, and space flowed like water, constantly wrapping around the six faces until the 'Rubik's Cube' completed a full rotation, whereupon all the spatial currents collapsed and started over from the beginning.

Constantly repeating.

Endlessly.

"Space."

Lin Yuan stood beneath the 'Rubik's Cube', looking somewhat captivated.

Space is infinitely large, yet also infinitely small.

Although this giant 'Rubik's Cube' was far from able to expound all the Profound Truth of space, the essence it contained was enough for Lin Yuan to comprehend.

In a certain mysterious space of the Seven Star Cave World,

twelve figures finally heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Yuan stop to comprehend beneath that giant 'Rubik's Cube'.

Ever since Lin Yuan entered the Seventh Star Cave, for a full three or four days, he had been wandering everywhere.

Although every examinee could stay in the Seventh Star Cave for a full month, seeing Lin Yuan's leisurely appearance still made the twelve figures quite worried.

Now things were fine.

Lin Yuan had finally stopped.

Moreover, the stone statue Legacy he chose was also very good, one of the sixteen evolution paths surpassing Tier 6, and this evolution path could even rank near the front among the evolution paths surpassing Tier 6.

"The Rubik's Cube stone statue. If it truly fits this evolution path, it will save a lot of trouble in the future."

Among the three figures above, Gu Ze nodded slightly, revealing a look of approval.

Those other Tier 6 evolution paths were certainly very good.

But if examinees who chose these evolution paths were fortunate enough to Cultivate to the Peak of Tier 6 in the future and wanted to surpass Tier 6,

they would have to switch to cultivating other evolution paths of the same type.

Switching cultivation was not retraining from scratch, but it still required the Evolver to pay a considerable price.

Now that Lin Yuan had directly chosen a smooth highway, Gu Ze saw it in his eyes and rejoiced in his heart.

"However, will he be able to comprehend it?"

A trace of anticipation appeared on Gu Ze's face.

Choosing is one thing.

Whether it can be done is another matter.

Right now, among the more than a hundred Evolvers in the Seven Stars Cave, who didn't know that the evolution paths contained in those sixteen stone statues far exceeded other stone statues?

But most Evolvers still chose those two-or-three-meter-tall stone statues.

The reason was simply that they couldn't comprehend them at all.

Or rather, they weren't sure they could comprehend them within the designated month.

Ten birds in the woods are not as good as one bird in the hand.

Although Lin Yuan wasted a few days,

given the invisible talent he displayed in the Fourth Star Cave,

as long as the chosen stone statue matched him, even those sixteen stone statues should pose no problem for him to comprehend.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a day passed.

Lin Yuan just stood there all this time observing the giant 'Rubik's Cube'.

Every moment, under the perception of his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he gained a massive amount, and finally quantitative change produced qualitative change.

"So that's how it is."

"The so-called space is formless and intangible, yet omnipresent. Even a newly born infant can sense the existence of space, but sensing it does not mean one can control it."

Lin Yuan only felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. By observing the 'Rubik's Cube' stone statue, you have comprehended the Eternal Space evolution path]

"Eternal Space evolution path"

Lin Yuan's brows twitched. Heng means 'eternal', and Yu means 'space'; Eternal Space is precisely Eternal Space.

This evolution path mainly expounded the eternal side of space.

"It's just a pity that I have only comprehended this evolution path; I am still very far from thoroughly understanding it. Currently, I have only comprehended the Rank 1 Chapter and Rank 2 Chapter of the Eternal Space evolution path."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Comprehending and thoroughly understanding are two different things.

The trial of the Seven Stars Cave did not require examinees to thoroughly understand a certain evolution path, but merely to comprehend it.

For stone statues containing Tier 6 evolution paths, one only needed to thoroughly understand the third stage and Tier 4 chapter to comprehend that evolution path.

As for stone statues containing evolution paths surpassing Tier 6, one only needed to thoroughly understand the Rank 1 Chapter to comprehend the entire evolution path.

Compared to recording evolution paths with text, recording them using carriers like stone statues brought greater and more comprehensive insights to Evolvers.

After all, some things and feelings are very difficult to describe with text alone.

Of course, wanting to record an evolution path on a certain carrier had to be done by an Evolver who had reached the end of this evolution path.

And it required enormous energy and painstaking effort.

For example, Lin Yuan could also replicate his own Martial Dao Evolution Path onto a stone statue.

Other Evolvers only needed to perceive facing this stone statue to comprehend the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

But to achieve this, it would require Lin Yuan, the founder of martial dao, to put down everything and spend dozens of sleepless decades for it to be possible.

This was still just a Martial Dao Evolution Path that was currently only quasi-Tier 4; those Tier 6 and beyond-Tier-6 evolution paths required even more and greater time and energy.

"Stop for a moment."

Lin Yuan forced himself to stop comprehending the Eternal Space evolution path.

Now that this evolution path was already in hand, the remaining comprehension could be done in the future. The top priority now was to comprehend the other evolution paths contained within the stone statues.

Lin Yuan vaguely felt that the reason the Seven Star Cave World was not opened every time was precisely because of these stone statues.

Wanting to maintain the profound operation of these stone statues and correspond them to reality, even in the Virtual World, was not an easy matter.

It required Red Kun Star Lord to pay a considerable price.

If he didn't take this opportunity to pack up and take away all the evolution paths contained within the stone statues, it would probably be hard to have such an opportunity in the future.

At least it wouldn't let Lin Yuan take advantage for free.

"Go to the next stone statue."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and began to plan a route for himself.

Waiting until Lin Yuan left from beneath the giant 'Rubik's Cube',

the Silver-haired woman Yin Ling, who had been meditating and comprehending all along beside him, opened her eyes.

"Not suitable for this stone statue?"

Yin Ling glanced at the departing figure of Lin Yuan.

Toward Lin Yuan, Yin Ling still paid quite a bit of attention.

To be precise, what Yin Ling paid attention to was every Evolver who surpassed her.

In the Fourth Star Cave, Yin Ling had painstakingly comprehended for several days, but as soon as Lin Yuan arrived, he passed in a little over twenty minutes.

This matter had caused a slight impact on Yin Ling.

Although in the subsequent star cave Lin Yuan was reduced to 'mediocrity',

Yin Ling still did not look down on Lin Yuan.

Of course, Yin Ling did not know how Lin Yuan had broken through the Sixth Star Cave.

Because Lin Yuan delayed a lot in the Fifth Star Cave, by the time he reached the Sixth Star Cave, Yin Ling had already arrived at the Seventh Star Cave.

"There are still twenty-two days left."

Yin Ling looked toward the giant Rubik's Cube once again.

After eight days of painstaking comprehension, Yin Ling finally managed to grasp a tiny fraction of the Rubik's Cube stone statue…

It was estimated that with another twenty days, she could barely comprehend the Rank 1 Chapter contained within.

This was still because she, Yin Ling, possessed extremely high spatial talent and fit harmoniously with the vast space.

Otherwise, if it were other Evolvers, let alone a month, even a year or ten years would not allow them to thoroughly understand the Rank 1 Chapter.

And as long as she thoroughly understood the Rank 1 Chapter and obtained the complete evolution path within, Yin Ling would be considered to have passed the Seventh Star Cave trial.

The one hundred and thirty-six stone statues in the Seventh Star Cave had two standards.

First, for stone statues containing Tier 6 evolution paths that were two-to-three-meters tall, one needed to thoroughly understand the evolution chapter corresponding to one's own tier.

For instance, a Tier 3 Evolver needed to thoroughly understand the third stage in order to obtain the complete evolution path.

A Tier 4 Evolver needed to thoroughly understand the Tier 4 chapter to do so.

The above was one standard.

The second standard targeted the six stone statues exceeding ten meters.

Regardless of whether they were Tier 3 Evolvers or Tier 4 Evolvers, as long as they thoroughly understood the 'Rank 1 Chapter' of the evolution path contained within these stone statues, they could pass.

In the mysterious space,

the twelve figures were somewhat stunned upon seeing Lin Yuan leave once again.

Among the more than one million examinees in this Seven Stars Cave trial, what attracted their attention the most was not the three Red Marks, but Lin Yuan, this Golden Mark.

The astonishing performance in the Fourth Star Cave, the powerful will in the Sixth Star Cave, and the baffling behavior in the Seventh Star Cave.

"We cannot let him waste time like this anymore."

Among the three figures above, Gu Ze frowned tightly.

He had decided to step forward and remind Lin Yuan to choose a stone statue to comprehend as soon as possible.

Even those two-to-three-meter-large stone statues containing Tier 6 evolution paths.

If this dragged on any longer, Lin Yuan might fail to pass the Seventh Star Cave.

Although, even if Lin Yuan couldn't pass, he, Gu Ze, had the authority to let him join the Chi Kun lineage.

But by then, many powers, benefits, and treatments would be gone.

"Gu Ze, are you going to beg Teacher?"

A figure beside him asked.

In the Seven Stars Cave trial, the twelve of them were merely bystanders and had no authority to intervene in any part of the trial, let alone remind anyone.

If Gu Ze wanted to step forward to remind Lin Yuan, the only way was to beg the Red Kun Star Lord.

Red Kun Star Lord was the opener of the Seven Star Cave World. If he obtained his permission, he could naturally intervene.

"That was the only way."

Gu Ze replied, while simultaneously splitting off a wisp of consciousness to contact the Red Kun Star Lord.

Seeing this, the other two figures didn't express much.

The three of them were existences surpassing Tier 6 and belonged to the proud Disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord. Begging for a personal matter of their own was not a big deal.

The Red Kun Star Lord was not one of the Three Goddesses of Ultimate Intelligence who were absolutely selfless; even powerful Evolvers still had their own emotions.

A moment later.

Gu Ze's brow furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

"What did Teacher say?"

The two figures beside him asked curiously.

"Teacher is in seclusion; I didn't see him," Gu Ze said, shaking his head.

"Seclusion?"

"Then there's nothing we can do."

"When Teacher is in seclusion, unless something truly major happens, such as an alien invasion or the Three Goddesses exercising a Civilization Command, he will not show up for other matters."

The two figures sighed.

As the earliest Disciples to follow the Red Kun Star Lord, they knew their teacher very well and were particularly clear that during the Star Lord's seclusion, he basically would not reply to or handle any matters.

No matter how urgent it was, they would have to wait until he came out of seclusion.

Gu Ze remained silent.

What the two figures said was correct.

Unless it was a truly major event, the Red Kun Star Lord would definitely not come out of seclusion.

As for the examinee he valued wandering around—let alone just being a Golden Mark examinee,

even if all the more than one million examinees in this Seven Stars Cave trial were wandering around, to the Red Kun Star Lord, it was just a trivial matter.

The so-called three Red Marks only made the Red Kun Star Lord take one more glance, much like an ant on the ground whose color was different from the others.

That was all.

Even if those three Red Marks were given ten thousand or one hundred thousand years, it was basically impossible for them to touch the level of the Red Kun Star Lord.

In every tournament of the Chi Kun Star Region, the Red Kun Star Lord would give out trials, completely just coping with a chore for the Human Alliance.

The specific manifestation was that the Red Kun Star Lord had never paid attention to the trial matter; it was always Disciples like them who watched and selected.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, another twelve or thirteen days passed.

Unconsciously, Lin Yuan had been in the Seventh Star Cave for nearly twenty days.

As for the results, they were also gratifying; out of the one hundred and thirty-six stone statues in the star cave, Lin Yuan had already walked past one hundred and twenty-one…

That is to say, Lin Yuan had at this moment comprehended one hundred and twenty-one evolution paths. These evolution paths started from Tier 6, and there were also more than a dozen surpassing Tier 6.

Lin Yuan turned his head.

Looking toward the many stone statues he had passed by.

His gaze mainly lingered on those huge stone statues exceeding ten meters.

There was the slowly rotating giant 'Rubik's Cube'.

There was the blazing sun radiating intense heat.

There was the terrifying black hole that was pitch-black all over.

There was a giant eye without pupils.

There was a giant water droplet rippling with fluctuations.

There was even an unimaginable mirror whose surface seemed to connect to another world.

The stone statues containing evolution paths surpassing Tier 6 were bizarre and varied; compared to them, the Rubik's Cube was actually the most normal one.

"None of these stone statues gave me a sense of familiarity, so they obviously don't suit me. It's just that under my Heaven-Defying Comprehension, whether they suit me or not makes no difference."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

In the Dragon-Tiger World, during the trip to the Sword Tomb, that True Martial Sword hadn't actually chosen Lin Yuan either.

It was only forcefully attracted by the 'Supreme Induction Sword-Controlling Chapter' comprehended by Lin Yuan and had no choice but to submit.

Later, as time passed and Lin Yuan's strength became increasingly unfathomable, the True Martial Sword became well-behaved.

"Huh?"

"Someone has left again?"

Lin Yuan stopped. Not far away, an Evolver stood up excitedly and pressed his hand toward the stone statue in front of him.

Instantly.

The stone statue began to glow.

Evidently, this Evolver had passed the trial and was randomly teleported away.

"And it's a Tier 3 Silver Mark Evolver?"

Lin Yuan noticed that the markings on this Evolver's side face were silver.

Within the Seventh Star Cave, Tier 3 Evolvers even held some advantages; after all, Tier 3 Evolvers only needed to thoroughly understand the third stage to pass the trial.

Meanwhile, Tier 4 Evolvers needed to thoroughly understand the Tier 4 chapter.

The difficulty was naturally different.

Of course, Tier 4 Evolvers had a high Realm; from a commanding height, comprehending the Tier 4 chapter was actually not much harder for them than for Tier 3 Evolvers.

Overall, it could still be considered fair.

At least it was better than setting a unified standard, such as making all Evolvers comprehend the Tier 4 chapter.

If that really were the standard, probably no Tier 3 Evolver could pass.

They hadn't even finished walking through Tier 3, yet wanted to thoroughly understand Tier 4? Or Tier 4 within the Tier 6 evolution paths?

"Quite a few Evolvers have already left."

Lin Yuan looked around and thought in his heart.

The 'quite a few Evolvers' here referred to those Evolvers who entered the Seventh Star Cave earlier than Lin Yuan.

These Evolvers had stayed in the Seventh Star Cave for over twenty days, approaching the one-month limit. If they only comprehended the two-to-three-meter-tall stone statues, most of them had already passed the trial.
