Condense My Heaven-Reaching Wisdom! Talent... Activate!

"These Sea People are truly troublesome, but at least I finally made it through." Su Ke breathed a sigh of relief inside the C6-Class Spaceship, mentally adding the Sea People to his personal blacklist.

Being broad-minded had never been his strong suit; he usually just couldn't be bothered to hold grudges, but anyone who dared to hinder his cultivation—one by one, none of them would get away with it.

Whoosh. The C6-Class Spaceship surfaced silently and soared toward the distant horizon. Like a phantom bolt of lightning, it streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, reaching the outskirts of Gulei Mountain in no time before diving straight in.

Dense clouds were torn apart, and the lightning strikes capable of killing a Planetary Rank warrior had no effect on the hull.

The tall, towering, black Gulei Mountain came into Su Ke's view.

Scanning the area and finding no one, the ship quickly landed near the forest by the entrance of Gulei Mountain, where Lyumila, Khair, and several other Stellar Rank experts had been waiting and hurried over to greet him.

Whoosh. The hatch opened, and a white-haired, red-eyed youth in a black combat suit flew out.

"Be careful." Su Kai and his wife couldn't help but urge him from behind, while Zuo Mu and the others stood by with worried expressions.

"Master." Lyumila and the others bowed slightly in respectful greeting.

Su Ke glanced at them and smiled, "Lyumila, you did well."

With various factions now funneling people toward the Stone Gate, his presence among them didn't seem particularly conspicuous.

"However, once we are inside, you must still watch your attitude. Hmm, just treat me as your junior for the time being."

Under the escort of a group of Stellar Rank guards, Su Ke flew toward the cave with anticipation.

When Su Ke arrived above the massive rift of the abyss, there were many new faces, and more people were arriving in a steady stream.

Undoubtedly, these were people from various factions coming to contemplate the stone tablets, but most were Saints; little guys like Su Ke at the Planetary Rank were a rare minority.

Lyumila and Khair naturally stayed by Su Ke's side; in the eyes of outsiders, he was merely their junior, perhaps even a descendant.

Su Ke ignored the others and headed straight for the Stone Gate upon arriving.

The Stone Gate was a thousand meters high, tall and imposing, with many patterns carved into it that were better viewed from a distance.

Su Ke looked up...

He discovered that the carvings on the Stone Gate seemed to be six distinct images.

The first image showed a seed buried in the earth, silently accumulating strength.

The second image showed the seed sprouting and breaking through the soil.

The third image depicted the process of the seed's growth.

The fourth image showed the seed having grown into a towering tree.

The fifth image featured only a single blooming flower.

The sixth image looked like a fruit... or perhaps another seed.

These few simple drawings seemed to contain an indescribable, incredible artistic conception that drew one's mind deep into them.

At the same time, a voice resonated faintly in Su Ke's heart, as if it were his own inner voice.

"One who attains nirvana may enter and seize the opportunity."

The voice dissipated in the lake of his heart like mist.

Su Ke gave a start and looked around, but aside from his guards, there was no one else.

Su Ke lowered his head, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Is this place truly left behind by some great powerhouse?

He asked the guards who had seen the Stone Gate, and they confirmed that the same voice had appeared in their minds when they first saw it, but no one knew what it meant.

The most dramatic expressions were on the faces of the natives; only a few of them knew the truth about this place. Many had regarded the Great Emperor as an invincible existence, but now they realized... the Great Emperor was likely just a product of this Stone Gate.

To put it bluntly, they were frogs at the bottom of a well, able to see only the patch of sky above them. Even the Great Emperor was just a slightly larger frog trapped at the bottom, and perhaps only the Great Emperor Gulei had ever tried to jump out in history.

"So, so the things on the Stone Gate are the true opportunity? No, it should be a test?" someone exclaimed excitedly.

Only by passing the test within a year and entering inside could one obtain the real benefits.

Some who aspired to become emperors began to waver.

The Stone Gate looked extraordinary; should they stay and contemplate it?

However, although many had expressions that were equally difficult to calm, none had any intention of staying, because according to ancient records, they knew how difficult it was to contemplate the drawings on the Stone Gate!

Perhaps only the Great Emperor Gulei had succeeded among generations of emperors; all others had failed!

The ancient Gulei Family had come generation after generation, yet not a single successor had emerged.

Countless geniuses had failed, so one could imagine the difficulty; they didn't believe they were superior to the countless geniuses of history.

Instead, entering the Stone Gate offered at least some hope that someone would become an emperor!

That was the hope!

Su Ke didn't care about their thoughts. He knew how dangerous it was inside the Stone Gate for a fourth-stage Planetary Rank; countless Stellar Rank experts had died in there throughout history. The opportunity to become an emperor wasn't easy to seize! Even with the protection of Lyumila and the others, he had no intention of taking the risk to go inside.

At this moment, in his view, the things on the Stone Gate were far more attractive than what lay beyond it.

He fixed his eyes on the first image on the Stone Gate, immersing his mind, and soon a voice naturally emerged in his consciousness—he didn't know where it came from, yet it felt as if it were his own inner voice.

The voice told him how he should cultivate.

To comprehend it, one must imprint the first image onto their mind, sketching it out with perfect clarity as if in meditation, without the slightest deviation, while the force within the body circulates along a mysterious trajectory; the two must be perfectly synchronized.

When the body and consciousness reach a state of perfect union, and one can instantaneously sketch the true "Seed" within their mind, only then is the first image considered mastered.

It sounds simple enough, yet throughout history, aside from the possibility that Great Emperor Gulei achieved it, no one else has ever succeeded.

Those were all Stellar Rank powerhouses, and countless individuals who had reached the pinnacle of the Stellar Rank—living for thousands upon thousands of years (the lifespan of a Stellar Rank is 10,081 years), longer than the entire history of Huaxia—lacked nothing in terms of consciousness strength, perseverance, temperament, or wisdom, whereas Su Ke was merely an ordinary sixteen-year-old kid at the Planetary Rank.

If one had to make a comparison, it would be like a primary school student competing against a national academician to see who has the superior learning ability.

"Now, it is time to test my talent." Su Ke took a deep breath, his expression as serious as a soldier about to head into battle.

Nearby, a young girl from Holy Mountain City, also at the Planetary Rank, saw Su Ke's face and suddenly felt her cheeks flush, finding this guy inexplicably charming.

In particular, that rare, snow-white hair tugged at her heartstrings, and those deep, red crystal-like eyes beneath his elegant bangs were as bright as stars, deeply captivating her.

I wonder whose brother he is, and if he has a partner.

The 160-year-old girl thought to herself.

"Don't let me down..." Su Ke felt unprecedented tension in his heart; he had no idea if his talent would be of any use for the drawings on this mysterious Stone Gate.

He knew very well that the opportunity before him was crucial for his future.

Su Ke calmed his mind, cleared away all distracting thoughts, and began to meditate, silently circulating the force within his body as he did so.

"My talent... move for me!"
