The Adventures Of The Young Master

Hearing this, the boy couldn't help but look up at Jin Rou and asked, "We will go?"

It looked like he couldn't believe what he heard. After all, he expected that it wouldn't be possible since Jin Rou was adamant in finding the whereabouts of the Templar Clan.

"Of course. We will go." Jin Rou reconfirmed and smiled, "You want to go there and try your luck, right?"

"..." Xiu'er was speechless. He was seen through and he couldn't deny this. After all, since he knew this place, he was already dreaming about it ever since. He was very curious what kind of place was that? And what kind of incomprehensible text were there that even the strongest gods and progenitors weren't capable of fully deciphering?

"Shall we go now?" Jin Rou wiped the side of his mouth by a tissue and said, "Since it's today, then it's probably open already."

"En. It opened exactly noon a while ago." Xiu'er nodded in affirmation.

Peak of Dao Essence.

This was located at the highest point of Light Town. And usually, the gates of this place were closed and heavily guarded by terrifying existences that even progenitors wouldn't dare to force their way. However, today, the gate was fully opened for everyone who wanted to try their luck.

Upon entering the gate, one could see vast sea of clouds in a not-so-faraway sight. Above the clouds were rolling mountains and pavilions of different colors. The place was grand and majestic. One could also distinguish this place as something near heaven-like.

At the highest point of this peak, was a colossal stone towering the upward sky. And in it, many symbols were engraved. They appeared very ancient, as if it was there for hundred millions of years now.

"Friends, thank you for coming to our Peak of Dao Essence." An elder in a white robe with a light symbol in it said. This elder appeared so mysterious and unfathomable as no one could gauge his strength, "I am very pleased to see familiar and unfamiliar faces here. It seems like many new friends have taken an interest in comprehending our ancient dao texts."

The elder paused for a moment and said, "By the way, you can call me Elder Zuwo. If you have any questions regarding the ancient text, you can ask me. Though, I won't be of any help for comprehending it."

The guests couldn't help but laugh inside them. This elder was one of the beings who have comprehended the ancient text by 15%, half of the comprehended text of the three legendary figures. So Elder Zuwo saying that he wouldn't be of help in comprehending was just his way of saying that he won't help anyone here if the matter concerned was dao comprehension.

And these words were for everyone. No one, even those with high status, even those gods and progenitors wouldn't be an exception. Though, it would be a surprise if the top beings of this world would ask help from someone. After all, they had a pride and reputation to take care of.

"So I won't take this for long. Everyone can now take turns in comprehending the dao here!" Elder Zuwo gave the signal for everyone to start.

Because there were at least a thousand of guest here, everyone should abide the rule of ten person per turn. Meaning, 10 people would go try their luck and after the 10, another batch of 10 people would take their turn.

7 hours had passed since the dao comprehension started. It was already evening.

So far, no one had reached an understanding of 10% in the ancient text. But there were a very few who comprehended to the utmost of 8%.

Though this sounded so little in amount, this 8% of comprehension benefitted them in a generous way. After all, they had gotten so many insights and inspirations for this. In fact, they could also feel that they were about to reach a breakthrough because of this.

"No one else?" Elder Zuwo asked everyone since no one was stepping forward. Though he was smiling, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of disappointment in his expression for a certain reason.

This peak was only open until midnight. After midnight, the gate would automatically close whether there were still people or not. And for those who would be stuck in this place, they could just await their death here since the oxygen would be very thin and would be thinner until almost none as time passed by.

"I will try." Just when Elder Zuwo was about to end this event, a child walked over calmly. All eyes were on him as he walked towards the large stone.

"That is..." Among the crowd, Brother Yu recognized this child and couldn't help but grind his teeth when he remembered that thing, "Isn't it that bastard's child?"

"So since he's here, that man is also here right?" Brother Yu thought. And after a moment of contemplation, he smiled sinisterly as he thought of something entertaining.

Brother Yu and Fairy Qing were one of the few who had comprehended the dao by 8%, thus, Brother Yu knew that in times of conflict, Elder Zuwo would side with him.

Elder Zuwo was surprised to see a child, who wasn't even cultivating yet, to try his luck. But there was no rule that stating that only cultivators could comprehend the dao so he let the child be and see what's he's going to do.

For some unknown reason, Elder Zuwo was expecting something from this child.

Xiu'er touched the stone a bit and closed his eyes. He walked slowly while his hand was still touching the stone.

The process was simple yet elegant in a sense. It took Xiu'er almost twenty minutes before releasing his touch from the stone.

"The light is the saber, the darkness is the flesh. Light is the fairy..."

These words stupefied everyone immediately as numbers appeared on the stone, "28%"

Everyone was speechless at this moment.
