Chapter 421: Comprehending with Just a Glance!

The appearance of the Immortal Grave Forest caused a massive stir even outside the Heavenly Ruins.

Many powerful figures exclaimed in amazement one after another.

"The luck of these juniors is truly exceptional; the Immortal Grave Forest, which hasn't appeared for so many years, has actually resurfaced in the Heavenly Ruins."

"The feedback from these stone steles in the Immortal Grave Forest is extremely bountiful. The more one comprehends, the more astounding the rewards!"

"I remember more than ten thousand years ago, a certain Senior comprehended the Immortal Grave Forest and nurtured their spirit with their Physical Body, becoming nearly immortal and indestructible. Their physique was even more formidable than the most monstrous Prodigy of the Qiankun Holy Land back then!"

"There was also someone who, through the Immortal Grave Forest, condensed a body of Pure Yang Magic Power and developed an Acquired Pure Yang Infinite Body. Their combat power was peerless, shocking the world!"

"…"

Everyone was incredibly envious. They had all entered the Heavenly Ruins in their youth, but they had never encountered such an Opportunity.

One could only say that everything is fated.

"However, having said that, wanting to comprehend the carvings on those ancient steles is not that simple!"

"Exactly! Those who can truly obtain great Opportunities from them are, after all, only a few. Ordinary Prodigies can only obtain a few superficial insights, and the vast majority are likely to return empty-handed!"

"These little ones are still too young. Being able to comprehend fifty or sixty percent of the carvings on the ancient steles would already be considered an eternally rare Genius… As for obtaining Immortal Qi? Legend has it that one needs to completely comprehend the carvings on the ancient stele. How difficult is that?"

"The talk of Immortal Qi is, in the end, just a rumor. Whether it even exists is debatable!"

"But according to past experience, if one can truly fully comprehend any of the stone carvings, the rewards obtained, even if not Immortal Qi, won't be much different!"

"…"

Everyone discussed animatedly, clearly finding the idea of Little Nannan and the others going straight for the Immortal Qi to be naive.

They admitted that those few were among the top Prodigies of the Northern Region.

But how many favored children of heaven from the Northern Region had those tombstones in the Immortal Grave Forest witnessed over countless years?

They had never heard of anyone who could truly comprehend an ancient stele completely.

Listening to these discussions.

Wang Mu didn't care. Instead, he counted the number of ancient steles in the image with interest, "A total of thirty-six ancient steles. In other words, there are likely thirty-six wisps of Immortal Qi hidden inside. If all of them were collected, what would that feel like?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it couldn't be hidden from the practitioners around him.

Immediately, one after another, strange looks fell upon him.

Being able to comprehend a single ancient stele was already an exceptionally rare event, enough to leave a name in ancient history.

Comprehend all of them?

What are you thinking?

Why don't we just give all these ancient steles to your Wang Family?

Those in business really do have big imaginations!

"The Young Lord is not well-versed in cultivation, so perhaps you don't know. The dao rhythm contained in the carvings on these ancient steles is exceptionally profound and obscure. Unless one's Comprehension Ability is top-notch, surpassing even immortals and gods, it would likely be very difficult to comprehend them completely!"

Xiao Chenzhou of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land spoke with a smile, as if explaining to Wang Mu.

Yet, it wasn't hard for everyone to hear the bit of mockery in those words.

He was just short of pointing at Wang Mu's face and calling him 'the ignorant are fearless'.

When Wang Mu heard this, he wasn't annoyed either. He just smiled, "Heh, just in case. My friends' Comprehension Ability is actually quite decent!"

Xiao Chenzhou was about to say something more.

Suddenly, he saw Wang Mu pointing at the scene in the image with a look of pleasant surprise: "Eh, look, is that stone stele glowing!"

Hearing this.

Everyone looked together and were instantly petrified.

Sure enough.

In the originally pitch-black stone forest.

An ancient stele suddenly emitted a glow. The stone carvings on it shimmered with golden light, twisting continuously, and then, as if coming to life, they flew directly out of the ancient stele.

Then they imprinted themselves into the brow of the young girl in front of it.

Little Nannan opened her eyes. Golden light shone in her pupils, and a faint wisp of immortal light lingered around her body, making her appear even more beautiful and holy, like a goddess descending to the world.

In her vicinity.

Lin Yan, Han Li, Dugu Qianxue, Xiao Wanmeng, and the other Holy Land Prodigies were also sitting cross-legged in small groups before different ancient steles, quietly comprehending.

Those ancient steles seemed to possess spirituality.

Depending on each person's different comprehension progress, they all emitted varying degrees of light.

Most were dull and gray.

Only the one in front of Little Nannan was dazzlingly bright.

"Done!"

She stood up, feeling a surge of majestic energy within her body. With a hint of a smile in her eyes, she headed toward the next ancient stele without hesitation.

As she left.

The stone stele she had just comprehended instantly dimmed, losing all its luster. As the wind blew, it even turned directly into flying ash and scattered.

"The ancient stele disappeared. Could it be that she truly fully comprehended the stone carvings on it?"

"It's Immortal Qi. Although the wisp lingering around her is very faint, it is true, pure Immortal Qi. The legends are true!"

"How is this possible? Those stone carvings are exceptionally ancient and complex. Even with our current foundations, it would be difficult to fully comprehend many of them. She's just a child; how many years has she been practicing?" someone shouted in disbelief.

"Moreover, how long did she take to comprehend it? Just a few breaths? Even drinking water isn't this simple, right?"

"…"

In an instant, all the powerful figures present lost their composure.

They found it hard to believe.

Little Nannan had actually completely comprehended such profound and obscure ancient stele carvings in such a short time and swept away all the Opportunities within that stone stele.

At this moment, the rumors were confirmed.

But they couldn't feel happy at all.

Xiao Chenzhou's expression was stiff, feeling more uncomfortable than if he had eaten a fly. He stared fixedly at the screen: "Is the emperor nascent soul truly this terrifying?"

…[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for receiving a cultivation effect return from Little Nannan: Immortal Qi +1!]

[Congratulations, Host, for receiving a cultivation effect return from Little Nannan: Magic Power intensity increased!]

[Congratulations, Host, for receiving a cultivation effect return from Little Nannan: Physical Body strength increased!]

[…]

The feedback from the ancient stele was indeed bountiful.

From Magic Power to Physical Body, to Divine Soul, and so on, it covered everything, providing an all-around enhancement.

It was no exaggeration to say.

It was enough to allow any Prodigy in the Northern Region to take another giant step forward in their foundation and strength.

Completely widening the gap between them and Prodigies of the same level.

But all of these added together couldn't compare to that single wisp of Immortal Qi.

That was the true core.

Wang Mu looked inside himself. In the empty Chaos void, a thin golden line appeared.

That thin line was exceptionally tiny; if one wasn't careful, they might not even notice it.

But it was exceptionally bright and dazzling.

With a slight touch of his Divine Sense, he perceived the mighty power within it that far surpassed any other power in the mortal world.

One must know.

Wang Mu's Magic Power was already extremely powerful.

Having Cultivated until now.

The Magic Power of many Earth Immortal experts with great Legacies was far from being as pure as Wang Mu's.

But before this wisp of Immortal Qi, there was still a clear gap.

It seemed to be something from another dimension.

"So this is Immortal Qi… No wonder the gap between each level of Realm above Undergoing Tribulation can be so massive!"

Wang Mu couldn't help but sigh.
