Chapter 1058: Five Paths! Five Paths!
The sky was getting brighter and brighter.
Countless people were gathered at the entrance of the fifth hall. They were all watching to see if Ji Wu could comprehend the fifth Path before the time limit and create a miracle.
“There’s only an hour left! It’ll be difficult!”
Ji Wu remained unresponsive as the time limit drew closer. Most of the people began to shake their heads.
Ji Wu had only started comprehending the fifth Path the day before. He was not going to succeed in only one day.
Moreover, the Shard in the fifth hall contained the Path of Illusion and Reality. It was the most difficult of the five Paths.
“What about that one over there?”
Someone looked toward the first hall.
Many people were guessing that the strange person was very likely Nameless Qin. That was why so many people paid attention to him.
“Heh! That guy should be comprehending his fourth Path right now! Some people saw him entering the first hall two days ago. If he could comprehend it, he would only have four Paths. Otherwise, he’ll have three. It’s really not that amazing,” someone replied.
“Only four Paths? If he’s really Nameless Qin, that would be very embarrassing!”
Many people mocked him.
That guy had an entire epiphany tree, yet he only managed to comprehend four Paths. That made him inferior to Yao Tian and Jiang Tianwu, and he could not live up to the name of being an eternal monster.
“Is he Nameless Qin?”
Several Path-Chosen were in front of the first hall. Yao Tian and Jiang Tianwu were also there.
They sized up that figure with hostile gazes, especially Jiang Tianwu, whose eyes were brimming with killing intent.
“He’s still comprehending his fourth Path. He doesn’t seem to be all that! I thought too highly of him in the past!” The Path-Chosen of the Deathless Sect said mockingly.
That guy had embarrassed him earlier, which made him rather unhappy.
“That’s right! He doesn’t deserve to be called an eternal monster. What does he have other than that stupid bone? He can show off in the Void Realm, but in the real world, I’ll crush him with my treasures!”
The Path-Chosen of the Great Sacred Flame Sect also sneered disdainfully.
He thumped his chest confidently.
All the other Path-Chosen reacted the same way.
They had brought a lot of treasures this time, and it should be enough to crush that Qin guy.
They waited excitedly for the time to strike.
“Beat him, kill him! You must avenge me!”
Princess Feng was also there. She was surrounded by a group of young men.
“Don’t worry, Little Sister Feng Wu. That Qin guy isn’t anyone special. He won’t be able to defeat me, and I’ll beat him until he begs for mercy.”
“I’ll beat him until he agrees to kowtow and apologize to you, Little Sister Feng Wu!”
The young men were all bragging, each one more exaggerated than the last.
Time continued to pass second by second.
Finally, the elder rang the bell in the plaza. Then, he shouted, “Time’s up! Everyone, please exit the halls immediately.”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
“Sigh, the record isn’t broken. If only he was given a day more…”
Many people said pitifully in front of the fifth hall.
In the hall, Ji Wu opened his eyes and stood up.
He seemed to be still in a trance.
A moment later, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the fifth hall.
The remaining people in the halls also opened their eyes and shook their heads dejectedly.
They felt ashamed of themselves for not being able to comprehend a single Path.
The people in the first hall stood up, sighed, and walked out of the hall. Only the figure under the tree was still sitting quietly.
“Damn! That guy is still meditating. How shameless!”
The people at the entrance of the first hall exclaimed and cursed.
“Heh! Let him do it. Do you think that he’ll be able to comprehend the Path so soon? You can give him another day, and he won’t comprehend anything!”
“That’s right!”
The Path-Chosen laughed mockingly.
They were in an exceptionally good mood. If that guy did not comprehend it, then he had only comprehended three Paths, just like them.
“Hmph! Is that all he has?”
Jiang Tianwu laughed disdainfully.
Yao Tian let out a sigh of relief, though he seemed quite happy.
At that moment, the figure under the epiphany tree suddenly opened his eyes, and lightning flickered in his eyes.
Around him, lightning bolts flashed.
Rumble! Rumble!
A few muffled sounds of thunder could be heard from the sky outside as if they were resonating with the lightning bolts in the hall.
In an instant, the mocking laughter and curses at the hall entrance stopped, and the figures froze on the spot.
Disbelief appeared on their faces.
‘Did that guy just comprehend that Path?
‘That… that was too much of a coincidence!’
The expressions of the Path-Chosen darkened, and their expressions became unsightly.
“Dammit, what kind of luck is that?”
“F*ck! Who said that he went in two days ago? How could he have comprehended a Path in only two days?”
They exclaimed one after another.
The elder would have chased him out if he took any longer, but he managed to comprehend it at the final moment!
The Path-Chosen were unhappy that the guy had comprehended four Paths, one more than them.
Meanwhile, in the plaza, the elder looked up at the sky, then in the direction of the first hall. His expression suddenly changed.
“Who is it? Who comprehended the Path?”
His body flashed, and in the next moment, he was in front of the entrance of the first hall. He asked anxiously.
“Hah! It’s that guy with the tree. How uncanny!” Someone replied.
“What?”
The elder’s entire body trembled in shock.
Following that, his face turned red in excitement. “He comprehended it! He actually comprehended it! Haha! He broke the record!”
When everyone heard that, they were somewhat puzzled.
“What record? Isn’t that his fourth Path?”
“Four Paths? No, he comprehended five Paths! He broke the record!” The elder said excitedly.
“What?”
Everyone’s body trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.
Their faces were all in a daze.
“That… can’t be, right?”
They found it hard to believe. Ji Wu had only comprehended four Paths, so how did that guy comprehend five?
Comprehending all five Paths in half a month was an unprecedented feat!
“What a freak!”
Yao Tian seemed depressed as he looked at the figure in the hall.
As for Jiang Tianwu, his expression was gloomy, and his face turned ashen.
Not far away, in front of the fifth hall, Ji Wu furrowed his brows as he glared at the first hall. He seemed quite displeased.
Not even he could comprehend all five Paths, but that guy had done it!
Soon, the crowd became even more excited.
“He must be Nameless Qin! He has to be!” Everyone shouted excitedly.
Everyone rushed toward the entrance of the first hall, wanting to see Nameless Qin’s elegant demeanor. They were yelling and shoving each other.
In the main hall, under the epiphany tree, Tang Hao withdrew his lightning and stood up slowly. He stashed the tree away and walked toward the entrance.
He wiped his face and restored it to its original appearance.
“That’s right! I am Nameless Qin!”
He shouted loudly and looked around domineeringly.
