"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Phew~
Yang Qi took a deep breath, then quickly sat down cross-legged, sensing the fluctuations of the Tao on the stone tablet, and began to comprehend it.
However, after merely sensing the fluctuations of the Tao on the stone tablet and comprehending it for a moment, Yang Qi suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the stone tablet in front of him.
Yang Qi's eyes fixed, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Is it confused?"
There were many traces on the stone tablet. Yang Qi started to comprehend from the first trace, but found that he had no clue at all and could not comprehend the fluctuation of the Tao on that trace. He tried two more traces, and the result was the same. Moreover, the fluctuation of the Tao contained in these traces seemed to be related to each other, but also had some differences.
All of this indicates that the traces on the stone tablet in front of him, the fluctuations of the Tao contained in it, are in a disordered order. If a practitioner wants to comprehend, he must find the correct order, otherwise the difficulty of comprehending with a disordered order will increase exponentially.
You know, the fluctuations of the Tao on the stone tablet are Taos that Yang Qi has never touched before. If there is no guidance and he tries to comprehend them in a disordered order, the difficulty is no less than comprehending a Tao by himself.
With Yang Qi's current level of cultivation, if he just wanted to comprehend a Tao and comprehend it to the level of Martial King, it would be too simple. However, the fluctuation of the Tao on the stone tablet in front of him was obviously at the level of Martial Emperor.
Without any guidance, it is not an easy task for a practitioner at the emperor level to comprehend a Tao and comprehend it to the level of a Martial Emperor.
After all, for practitioners at the emperor level, the paths they are relatively good at are generally already being studied as secondary practices. The paths they have not tried to comprehend are basically the directions that the practitioners are not good at. The difficulty of forcing oneself to comprehend a path that one is not good at can be imagined.
Even if they are the masters of other universes, who possess almost endless lifespans, although they have comprehended many Daos over the long years, the number of those who have truly reached the pinnacle is still pitifully small. This shows how difficult it is to comprehend a Dao that one is not good at.
The test before him had a time limit, and Yang Qi did not have that much time to waste. Therefore, if he wanted to meet the requirements of the owner of the ruins and pass the test before him, the first thing he had to do was to find the correct sequence of the traces on the stone tablet.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi immediately began to sense the fluctuations of the Tao in other traces. As Yang Qi continued to perceive, he was constantly adjusting the order of these traces in his heart.
Everything went very smoothly, but when Yang Qi observed about two-thirds of the traces, he suddenly stopped, frowned slightly and asked, "How could this happen?"
Although the original order was constantly being adjusted, the order had been roughly determined because there were already quite a few traces observed. However, just now, Yang Qi discovered a trace that seemed to be the same as another trace, and the fluctuations of the Tao were greatly repeated.
Most importantly, Yang Qi discovered that there seemed to be no problem in replacing the fluctuations of the Tao on this trace into the original order.
If it were just that, at most he would be able to comprehend one more suspected Tao. What surprised Yang Qi the most was that after replacing the original order, the Tao formed by the order was significantly different from the Tao of the original order.
Looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the test set by the owner of the ruins is not so easy to pass."
It is obvious that the trace in front of us was deliberately left by the owner of the ruins in order to confuse the practitioners and increase the difficulty of sorting and enlightenment for the practitioners.
"I can't judge anything for now, so let's put this trace aside for now." Yang Qi's eyes focused and he quickly made a decision in his mind. After all, there are not many traces of such Tao fluctuations that repeat on a large scale, so he can put it aside for now and sort out those Tao fluctuations that do not repeat.
After making the decision, Yang Qi immediately passed this trace and continued to sense other traces. However, soon, Yang Qi discovered that there was another trace that was largely repeated in the fluctuations of the Tao with the previous trace.
"There's more than one trace!"
A bitter smile appeared on Yang Qi's face. The appearance of such suspicious traces would increase the possibility of more, and the difficulty of enlightenment would increase exponentially. The appearance of the second trace was definitely not good news for Yang Qi.
Fortunately, Yang Qi is not an ordinary person. He recovered quickly and continued to sense. Soon he had completely observed the remaining traces.
"There are three pairs of similar traces in total!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and among the traces in the latter part, he found another similar trace, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of enlightenment again.
Looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Three pairs of traces, placed in the original fluctuations of the Tao, there are too many possibilities. If I were to comprehend and eliminate them one by one, I might not have that much time!"
If there is enough time, the best way is obviously to comprehend the combination of these three pairs of similar traces together, so as to accurately find out the real test of the owner of the ruins.
However, when time is limited, this method of comprehension is obviously not advisable. In case of bad luck, the previous combinations of comprehension may not be what the owner of the ruins requires. When the time comes, this test will have failed.
As for selecting a few of them to comprehend, this method is obviously not advisable, because Yang Qi has tried to arrange similar traces and found that he could not judge which combination is more likely.
Therefore, choosing a few combinations to comprehend is purely a gamble of luck, and this method is obviously not advisable.
Yang Qi looked at the stone tablet in front of him, a gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Then there is only one last way left!"
Since it is impossible to comprehend several combinations, then don't comprehend any suspected combinations, and just comprehend the combination that completely eliminates the three pairs of similar traces!
After all, even if the other trace combinations of three pairs of similar traces were eliminated, they were still relatively complete, and he could fully comprehend through these traces. He might even touch upon the eliminated parts during the comprehension process, and thus more accurately find out which traces were the ones he needed to comprehend.
However, this approach requires a higher level of comprehension from the practitioner. This is because Yang Qi has full confidence in his own comprehension. Others may not dare to try this.
If the process of comprehension cannot touch the fluctuations of the Tao on similar traces, then at that time it will also be necessary to combine these similar traces to comprehension, and because of the lack of similar traces, problems may arise in the Tao that has been comprehended.
