Chaos City, the City Lord's Manor.
Yang Zheng returned to that same dreamlike corridor, now with five more opportunities to study the stele.
"That's right, you have five opportunities!"
At the entrance to the Time Wheel Chaos Stele chamber, Kandri nodded. In fact, he had already learned from Bafen's email that Yang Zheng had cleared the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
"But, Yang Zheng, there's something I'd like to remind you of."
Kandri looked at Yang Zheng. "Opportunities to study a Chaos Stele are precious. You've only just studied it once. It would be best to build up more insights through cultivation first. That way, you'll get more out of your next session."
He had watched Yang Zheng's battle footage and was naturally willing to offer a few pointers to such an extraordinary genius. Over the countless eras he had guarded the Chaos Steles, he had seen many geniuses, including Lian Luo and Kedi.
Taking the wrong path wasn't what a genius needed to fear.
What they needed to fear most was taking the wrong path without even realizing it.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir!" Yang Zheng bowed in thanks. He understood what Kandri meant.
As for that so-called "buildup of insights"-
It was really the occasional flashes of inspiration that emerged during cultivation, the questions that piled up during everyday training, or even the bottlenecks encountered while studying laws and practicing secret techniques. All of these were things that accumulated as one cultivated.
The unique aura and principles of a Chaos Stele could provide guidance, helping those studying it digest these flashes of inspiration, resolve long-standing questions, and quickly break through their current bottlenecks.
That was why every session brought tremendous progress.
