"Alright, next, each of you will enter your respective enlightenment chambers."
Hearing that, Luo Fan didn't hesitate and walked forward.
Soon, he arrived before a massive bronze door with the words "Ice Peak" engraved on it.
Moments later, several others gathered behind him, all of them had also chosen the Ice Peak Chaos Monument.
Once everyone had arrived, the bronze door began to slowly open.
Rumble...
Inside, chaotic energy swirled thickly, obscuring the view of what lay beyond.
"You few, go in now."
Kandri looked at the group before him.
"In seven days, when the door opens again, you must immediately come out. Understood?"
"Understood."
Luo Fan and the others quickly nodded.
"Good."
Kandri nodded in approval.
"Enter."
Without hesitation, Luo Fan immediately created a new task.
[Task: Obtain the qualification to comprehend the Ice Peak Chaos Monument. Reward: Replica of the first diagram of the Ice Peak Chaos Monument]
[Task: Obtain the qualification to comprehend the Dragon Soaring... Reward: Replica of the first diagram of the Dragon Soaring...]
[Task: ...]
Luo Fan created six tasks in one go.
The system immediately rewarded him with replicas of the first diagrams from six different Chaos Monuments.
When he saw the rewards, excitement surged in his chest.
He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, then stepped forward into the chamber.
…
The instant he entered the cultivation chamber, a series of completion notifications echoed in his mind.
As long as he entered the chamber, the task would be considered complete.
However, since two of the Chaos Monument chambers were still occupied, only four of the tasks were completed for now.
But Luo Fan wasn't worried. Within the next seven days, he would definitely have the chance to enter the remaining two enlightenment chambers.
The cultivation chamber was enormous, filled with swirling currents of chaotic energy.
As Luo Fan looked deeper inside, he vaguely saw a massive stone monument surrounded by those turbulent streams.
Approaching it, he finally saw clearly.
The monument was a hundred meters tall and nearly as wide, with ten intricate diagrams carved across its surface.
At the edge of the Chaos Monument were words written in the universal cosmic language, Ice Peak.
The first diagram was identical to the one Luo Fan had seen before on the corridor mural of the Ice Peak Chaos Monument, yet the feeling it gave was entirely different.
He could sense that comprehending the Ice Peak Chaos Monument here was many times more efficient than studying the copy outside.
The entire Ice Peak Chaos Monument had nine diagrams in total.
The first diagram depicted nine water droplets.
The second showed thirty-six droplets.
The third contained densely packed droplets, Luo Fan counted carefully and found one hundred and eight in total.
The fourth diagram showed a small stream.
The fifth showed a vast lake.
The sixth depicted countless streams and rivers flowing into the ocean.
The seventh was of a single towering ice peak.
The eighth displayed nine ice peaks arranged together.
The ninth was filled with countless ice peaks, so many that Luo Fan couldn't count them all.
If the first through sixth diagrams vaguely revealed insights into the Origin Laws of Water and Space, then the seventh through ninth were far too abstract.
A single ice peak, Luo Fan couldn't discern any law patterns within it at all.
He stopped trying to study the later ones.
He knew very well those were not yet within his comprehension.
He had to cherish every second he had now.
He stepped directly before the first diagram.
Without hesitation, he created another task.
[Task: The main body and two clones will comprehend the Ice Peak Chaos Monument for seven days. Reward: +30,000 Ice Peak Chaos Monument Comprehension, Ice Spirit Crystal Fruit ×1]
This time, Luo Fan planned to focus all his efforts on comprehending the Ice Peak Chaos Monument.
As for the other monuments, he would have to put them aside for now. After passing the Sky-Piercing Bridge and earning additional comprehension attempts, he could study them properly.
Luo Fan was quite confident about crossing that bridge.
After all, he still had replicas of the first diagrams from five other Chaos Monuments.
The ones he chose were either functional in nature or leaned toward the Origin Laws of Space.
So not to mention the first level, even passing the first three layers of the Sky-Piercing Bridge shouldn't be a problem.
Once the task was set, his full attention focused on the Ice Peak Chaos Monument.
When his gaze fell upon the nine water droplets, Luo Fan immediately realized how different it was from the copies.
Inside this enlightenment chamber, the moment he saw the nine droplets, his consciousness was instantly drawn into deep immersion.
Insights into the Origin Laws of Water and Space began pouring directly into his mind.
As his main body sank into this state, the Space Worm clone immediately created several comprehension tasks.
Then both clones also entered deep meditation.
…
Time passed quickly, seven days flashed by.
During this period, Luo Fan's other two avatars also entered the remaining Chaos Monument chambers, completing the last two tasks.
The clones continuously created new comprehension tasks based on the main body's and other avatars' progress.
Inside the chamber, Luo Fan and the others were still deeply immersed, completely unaware that the seven days had ended.
Rumble...
The giant bronze door opened with a thunderous noise, but the cultivators inside remained entranced.
"Everyone, come out!"
A voice resonated, directly echoing within their minds.
"Come out!"
"Come out!"
"Come out!"
"Come out!"
The voice repeated endlessly, growing louder and louder until Luo Fan and the others abruptly awakened.
The resounding echoes in his mind made Luo Fan instinctively clutch his head.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Luo Fan and the others swiftly flew out.
The moment they crossed the threshold, the echoing voice vanished completely.
He finally felt relief wash over him.
Looking back at the closing bronze door, a trace of regret flickered in his eyes.
In those seven days, Luo Fan's comprehension of both the Origin Laws of Water and Space had deepened tremendously.
Not only that, he had completed several cultivation-related tasks.
Each time his comprehension progress advanced, his avatars would create new 1% comprehension tasks.
Every completion spawned more, filling ten of the thirteen available task slots.
During those seven days, Luo Fan's comprehension speed had skyrocketed like a rocket.
For the Origin Law of Water, he had already grasped eighteen fundamental essences.
For the Origin Law of Space, he had mastered the seventh essence, and the eighth was already halfway complete.
This remarkable progress was largely due to the extraordinary effects of the first comprehension session with the Chaos Monument.
Later attempts, he knew, would not yield results quite as profound.
Even now, countless insights still lingered in Luo Fan's mind.
He decided to find a quiet place to organize and consolidate his newfound understanding.
