The Terrifying Art of the Ages

In the Small Courtyard, Huo Ling'er and the others curiously read through the questions Li Fan had written.

But they were instantly thrown into confusion!

What's this?

They had never seen it before!

Even the meaning of the question itself is completely incomprehensible.

"This... this is probably a supreme and profound Dao principle!"

Huo Ling'er spoke solemnly, saying, "Only a true expert can unlock this!"

"As expected of Senior Li, we've never seen a question like this before..."

Mu Qianning felt even more admiration for Li Fan.

Nan Feng also took a deep breath. She understood that this question was probably an insurmountable obstacle for all cultivators in the entire Profound Heaven Realm!

"This disciple will go immediately!"

She then left the Small Courtyard, went directly to the village entrance, pasted Li Fan's writing on a stone tablet, and then returned.

Not long after she left.

Outside the Small Mountain Village.

Suddenly, an Imperial Sky Ship appeared.

People from all the Great Sects have arrived!

"Hurry, hurry! Our Tianling Sect must be the first to pay homage to that senior!"

"Don't let them get there first!"

Full speed ahead!

They rushed to get there first, afraid of being beaten to it by someone else.

People from all the major factions are vying for it!

On each of the various Imperial Sky Ship, almost all the attendees were powerful figures from their respective sects, accompanied by their most elite young disciples.

"Hiss!"

Someone gasped, saying, "The entire Cangli Mountain Range has been destroyed, yet this Small Mountain Village appears so peaceful and serene, completely unharmed... This must be the secluded dwelling of a master!"

"What appears calm must contain immense power!"

"No wonder this is the place where unparalleled masters reside!"

Many figures at the Holy Lord level spoke up!

Beyond the mountain village, the Imperial Sky Ship landed one after another, not daring to fly directly over.

The cultivators disembarked from the ship, and at a glance, there were nearly a thousand of them!

It can be said that all the geniuses of the younger generation in the entire Profound Heaven Realm have come.

Their eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.

At the front of the crowd appeared Holy Lord Cihang, Kongming Holy Master, Dugu Chenlu, and others.

They were accompanied by their respective disciples.

"This place is truly extraordinary, worthy of being the hermitage of True Buddha, with boundless Buddhist charm and profound truths hidden within."

The Kongming Holy Master spoke in praise.

"Yes, I feel a rare tranquility in my heart. Just one glance at this Small Mountain Village is far better than a year of arduous cultivation in the 'Cihang Jingzhai'..."

The beautiful eyes of the Holy Lord Cihang were filled with solemnity!

"Let's go, let's pay our respects to that senior."

Dugu Chenlu then spoke.

They walked forward.

But the group had only just gotten close.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared on the main road at the village entrance ahead!

"No, look!"

The Holy Lord Cihang exclaimed in surprise, pointing ahead!

In an instant, everyone looked up!

The next moment, everyone in the audience was horrified.

Because they clearly saw terrifying golden characters, as if carrying boundless power, appearing in front of the mountain village and forming a terrifying barrier!

The aura was terrifying, as if every single character could collapse the heavens!

"Is this a decree from Supreme Being? Heavens, legend has it that only the Supreme Being of the Immortal Realm can display the power of such decrees..."

"The reclusive elders here truly possessed extraordinary talent and skill!"

"We can't take another step forward!"

Immediately, everyone started to speak!

"This is a problem set by that senior; only by solving it can one gain the qualification to become his disciple!"

The Kongming Holy Master spoke solemnly.

Immediately, everyone turned to look at those terrifying golden characters.

Three terrifying golden lines, like three Star River, formed triangles, with the three corners marked 1, 2, and 3!

Given that angle 1 is 45° and angle 2 is 30°, find the measure of angle 3.

"What a terrifying question!"

Kongming Holy Master glanced at it once, and his expression was already greatly shocked. He exclaimed in horror, "I'm afraid this involves the High Immortal!"

"Yes... One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. The pattern formed by this senior with three golden lines clearly contains the profound principles of the heavens. Who in heaven and on earth can decipher it?"

The Holy Lord Cihang was also shocked. She was so engrossed in the vast and profound True Intention the Great Dao revealed by those terrifying characters that she was completely captivated!

"Each golden line is like a peerless sword mark that has severed countless ages... Heavens, if one could comprehend it, becoming an immortal on the spot wouldn't be difficult!"

Dugu Chenlu was completely stunned, utterly stunned!

In an instant, all the major powers in the Profound Heaven Realm, from the various Holy Lord and Supreme to the geniuses of each sect, were shocked by this question.

While they were deeply shocked, they pondered deeply!

"This is too difficult; for us, it's probably a problem we'll never solve in our lifetime..."

Cihang Saintess Kong Yujie spoke with a complex expression.

"Alas, the concepts involved in this problem are far too complex; perhaps only True Buddha could glimpse even a fraction of them..."

Qing Chen's face was grim!

Dugu Yuqing gripped her longsword tightly.

The most powerful and elite group of people in the entire Profound Heaven Realm were all stumped by this question!

Time flies.

Three days and three nights passed quickly!

For three days and three nights, no one could solve it.

Many people quickly despaired.

"Alas, I fear I'll never have such Immortal Destiny in this lifetime. I should leave..."

"This is too difficult! This question is really too hard for us!"

"It's unsolvable. Unless you understand the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, you won't even get to the bottom of this problem!"

People started to speak, and some began to leave.

However, some people, although unable to find the answer to the question, sensed something from those golden characters, and immediately sat cross-legged, actually comprehending the Tao!

One month later.

Outside the Small Mountain Village, only a few dozen people remained!

"Although I have no chance to meet this senior, I have glimpsed a corner of the Great Dao from the golden characters, and I am gratified in this life!"

After sitting cross-legged for more than a month, Kongming Holy Master suddenly opened his eyes. His old eyes were filled with satisfaction. He clasped his hands together and bowed in worship to the Small Mountain Village!

After the ceremony, he stood up and said, "Qing Chen, let's leave."

But Qing Chen shook his head and said, "Master, I feel the tranquility of the Buddha's heart here. Even if I cannot become this senior's disciple, I am willing to be a farmer outside this mountain village, tilling the land, just to comprehend the principles of Buddhism!"

His eyes were filled with unwavering determination!

Kongming Holy Master nodded and said, "Very well!"

After saying that, he left on his own.

"Compassionate voyage, compassionate voyage, how bewildered are all beings!"

At this moment, the Holy Lord Cihang also spoke. After meditating for more than a month, she found that her understanding of the Cihang Great Dao had deepened, and she even felt that the path to immortality was within reach.

She also bowed deeply to the Small Mountain Village before leaving with Kong Yujie.

"This senior, even in the Immortal Realm, must be a terrifying existence with boundless potential. I truly don't understand why he would appear in our Profound Heaven Realm..."

Dugu Chenlu opened his eyes, Sword-Ray flashing in them. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards the Small Mountain Village.

Turning his head, he found his son with his eyes closed, and the Sword Qi around him was extremely scattered!

"Sigh, it's really too difficult for you to force yourself to comprehend such a Supreme Great Dao."

Dugu Chenlu sighed, placed his hand on Dugu Yuqing, and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into her.

Dugu Yuqing then woke up, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face pale.

"Let's go, you've suffered internal injuries," Dugu Chenlu said.

But Dugu Yuqing shook her head, gritting her teeth, and said, "No, I won't leave!"

"I must comprehend this again, even if it means death, I will pursue the ultimate path of this predecessor!"

Dugu Chenlu wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that having such a resolute sword heart might not be such a bad thing.

"Okay, then you can stay."

"However, don't push yourself too hard."

Dugu Chenlu also turned and left.

All the major Holy Lord have left the scene one after another!

Soon, there were hardly any people left outside the Small Mountain Village.

Small Courtyard in the village.

"Master, that question is far too difficult and terrifying. Thousands of people have come, but not a single one has been able to solve it!"

"Now, almost all of them have left."

Nan Feng spoke with a complicated expression.

She had seen that even those renowned figures in the Xuan Profound Heaven Realm, such as the Kongming Holy Master and Dugu Chenlu, had racked their brains but could not find a solution.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved.

Luckily, I set a problem for myself; otherwise, these guys who don't even know basic middle school math concepts like the sum of the interior angles of a triangle would be a complete mess if I took them as apprentices...

Having foolish disciples like Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, who get into brawls with fire pokers and chopsticks, has already given Li Fan enough trouble.

However, aren't the people in the Profound Heaven Realm all too incompetent? The questions they set could be answered by any middle school student on Earth...

With over a thousand people coming, how come not a single one can solve it?

He even claims to be a genius in various fields?

This is simply unscientific... No, wait!

Li Fan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but look at Nan Feng, asking, "Nan Feng, in the Profound Heaven Realm... do people study math here? Do they study geometry?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng was instantly stumped by Li Fan's question.

"Mathematics? Geometry?"

"Master, such a terrifying treasure technique is unheard of and unseen in the Profound Heaven Realm!"

She spoke with certainty!

Li Fan was also stunned for a moment.

Damn... that was too hasty!
