Before the Great Barren Tablet, seeing the five individuals, they all took their seats.
Chen Zhen then nodded slightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a monstrous surge of barren energy swept out from within him, soaring across the sky and landing on the massive surface of the Great Barren Tablet.
"Buzz buzz!"
As the vast barren energy landed on the Great Barren Tablet, the tablet body immediately trembled slightly. Then, streaks of dark yellow light shot out from the tablet body, finally enveloping the five individuals, including Lin Yun, in front of the giant tablet.
As the light enveloped him, Lin Yun's body suddenly trembled, and then his vision began to gradually blur.
After a brief darkness, light returned.
The sky was filled with a hazy gray, completely without any gaps, looking as if it were the sky at the beginning of creation, not yet fully separated from the earth.
And beneath the hazy gray sky was an endless expanse of desolate land. The ground was a grayish-yellow color, with occasional withered grass appearing, but there was no sign of life. Some cracks spread out from the earth, extending towards the horizon.
At this moment, on the boundless desolate land, a figure with a smile on his face muttered to himself, "Knowing the original content, comprehending this Great Barren Tablet should be easier."
Staring at the endless desolation before him, Lin Yun strode forward.
He walked for five days.
In five days, Lin Yun finally understood the meaning of the so-called desolation in the original work.
Looking at a withered flower on the ground, he picked it up. With a gentle touch of his finger, the flower turned into powder and scattered.
"Indeed!"
"Desolation... shouldn't be like this!"
Five days within the Great Barren Tablet was also five days in the outside world.
However, after five days, there were still people all over the mountains outside. Compared to the beginning, not only had the number not decreased, but it had increased significantly.
The eyes of the people all over the mountains outside were also fixed on the five figures in front of the Great Barren Tablet.
On the quiet mountains, a faint buzzing sound suddenly appeared. Immediately, countless eyes looked towards the four pillars of light in front of the Great Barren Tablet.
"The people from the Barren Hall are about to fail!" Ying Xiaoxiao said in a low voice as she watched this scene.
The pillars of light, under the gaze of countless eyes, quickly weakened. Finally, with a crack, they completely dissipated. Losing the cover of the light pillars, the Barren Hall disciples' bodies also collapsed to the ground with pale faces.
Immediately after, the light pillars of the other three also disappeared one after another.
"Alas!"
Chen Zhen and Wu Dao in the sky sighed in unison.
Their gazes were all on Lin Yun.
"Being able to comprehend the three great Extraordinary Meridians, I hope he can bring a miracle!"
Several disciples quickly flew out and carried the four Barren Hall disciples away.
After all four Barren Hall disciples were taken away, the already quiet atmosphere in this area became much more somber.
"Now there's only Ying Wuxie left!" Ying Xiaoxiao's gaze was also fixed tightly on that figure, without the slightest deviation.
Lin Yun slowly raised his head, looking at the hazy gray sky. That color looked as if the world was about to die.
But desolation was not like this. After desolation, life was hidden. When spring arrived and flowers bloomed, desolation would also be full of life! He grabbed another handful of dust and scattered it in front of his eyes. In that handful of dust, he saw a suspended black dot. Then, a smile slowly appeared on Lin Yun's face. He said word by word, "Great Barren Tablet, you are sick and need treatment! I have a way to alleviate your pain."
As his voice fell, Lin Yun circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and absorbed the trace of black dot in the dust.
Just as the black dot was absorbed by him.
"Buzz!"
On the desolate land, a gentle breeze blew in from somewhere, and then layers of waves rippled across the earth.
"Crack crack!"
After a gust of wind blew, this desolate world began to crack, forming lines of fissures.
It looked like distorted patterns, and Lin Yun stood amidst the collapsing world.
However, facing this drastic change, a hint of joy appeared on Lin Yun's face.
"Successfully broken the situation!"
The world finally completely collapsed, and darkness surged in from all directions, engulfing Lin Yun's body.
In the Dao Sect mountains, the atmosphere was extremely heated.
And the source of that heat was Ying Wuxie, who was sitting in front of the Great Barren Tablet.
At this moment, the pillar of light that shot down from the Great Barren Tablet and enveloped Lin Yun's body was slowly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces showed unconcealed disappointment.
Many Dao Sect disciples began to discuss again.
"Even a genius who can comprehend the other three great Extraordinary Meridians cannot comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture?"
"If no one can comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture this time, who knows how many years it will take."
"If he can't comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture, it will probably be difficult to contend with Lin Yun of the Yuan Gate."
"Alas!"
Just as everyone was discussing, the light pillar that was gradually shrinking did not completely dissipate. Instead, it became only the size of a palm and shone on Lin Yun's crown.
This situation led many to believe that the comprehension had failed. However, after waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, many suddenly realized that the light pillar had not completely dissipated! If the light pillar hadn't dissipated, then the comprehension wasn't over.
Buzz buzz!
The Great Barren Tablet suddenly trembled violently at this moment. Waves of light condensed on the massive tablet surface, finally almost transforming into a substantial, brilliant light pillar that shot out, completely enveloping Lin Yun's body.
Light waves condensed on the Great Barren Tablet. As time passed, the tablet surface actually became like a mirror, and faintly, within that mirror, a blurry, massive shadow seemed to appear and disappear...
Just as that massive shadow emerged from the tablet surface, on the distant mountain peak, a trace of astonishment appeared in the ancient, unchanging eyes of a blue-robed elder beside Ying Xuanzi.
"Where did you find such a monstrous talent, who can actually trigger the Great Barren Tablet's Tablet Spirit!"
Ying Xuanzi smiled faintly, not explaining anything.
He didn't want too many people to know Lin Yun's identity. Since he completely trusted the other party now, the fewer people who knew, the safer he would be.
Chen Zhen, Wu Dao, and the hall masters and vice hall masters of the other three halls, who were in front of the Great Barren Tablet, all showed expressions of shock.
"That's... the Tablet Spirit?"
"This time, our Dao Sect will also have someone who can contend with that Yuan Gate's Lin Yun," the Heaven Hall Master said with a loud laugh.
"The Sect Leader's closed-door disciple is indeed an extraordinary person!" The Earth Hall Master also laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, our Dao Sect is flourishing!" The Hall Master of the Hong Hall also echoed.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the others, Chen Zhen and Wu Dao also quickly suppressed the shock in their eyes.
Both sides glanced at each other, then simultaneously revealed smiles.
These smiles contained joy at Lin Yun comprehending the Great Desolate Scripture, and also amusement at the others comparing Ying Wuxie to Lin Yun.
"Hahaha"
The entire mountain peak was filled with the laughter of the four hall masters.
