Open up and break into another world

All the geniuses felt that Xu Ming was finished!

You have to know, this was a two-hundred-fold suppression! Even if Xu Ming possessed the strength of "Number One on the Primordial Myriad Things Ranking," he would probably be suppressed into a dog!

Some individual geniuses were even eager to try, pondering whether to challenge Xu Ming after entering the ancient city. After all… Xu Ming seemed quite easy to bully.

“This…” Xu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback, “Suppression by two hundred times? This is simply a pit!”

Xu Ming even felt that this rule was somewhat targeting him.

However, Xu Ming didn't care—no matter how many times his strength was suppressed, as long as he activated the "Time Pause" cheat, the other geniuses could only let him attack.

What Xu Ming cared about was how much enlightenment he could gain in the ancient city below.

The grey-robed figure glanced at Xu Ming meaningfully, and then said, “Go! Go to the ancient city below and explore your opportunities!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!…

Figures flew towards the ancient city.

The grey-robed figure looked at these ten thousand geniuses, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: “It should be possible to see which geniuses have better talents very quickly! Hmph, wanting to obtain the master's inheritance is not that easy!”

…

Swish—

During the descent, the ten thousand geniuses separated with great tacit understanding.

Xu Ming casually chose a direction and fell towards the ancient city.

Bang!

Xu Ming stepped on the bluestone pavement, observing this ancient city: “It seems… I can't see anything special about it!”

After walking on the street for a while, Xu Ming directly entered an ancient house.

“Here…” Xu Ming discovered after entering that the ancient house was extremely empty, without even a table or a chair; however, on the empty floor of the room, there were many futons placed, “Could this be a lecture hall?”

Suddenly, Xu Ming discovered that the walls of the house were covered with strange characters. They looked like words, but also like some kind of symbols.

“What are these?” Xu Ming observed for a while, but couldn't see any clues, so he had to leave the house in embarrassment.

Immediately, Xu Ming entered a house next door.

It was a similar layout—the room was empty, and the walls were also covered with various strange characters; however, Xu Ming couldn't understand a single character.

Xu Ming was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, he was attracted by a character on the wall—this character seemed to be just a casual stroke, but looking at it carefully, this stroke seemed to contain endless mysteries.

As he looked at it, Xu Ming felt that this simple character gradually unfolded into a world before his eyes.

Countless extremely mysterious scenes appeared in front of Xu Ming at the same time; Xu Ming couldn't understand what these mysterious scenes meant, but his understanding of the "True Self Realm" was unknowingly improving.

“How could this be?” Xu Ming had no idea what was going on.

Before long, the other characters in this room also “came alive” in Xu Ming's eyes.

Xu Ming seemed to be in a huge and vast world, unable to extricate himself.

“Oh?” Above the ancient city, a look of surprise could not help flashing across the grey-robed figure's face, “Without any guidance, just looking at these characters, he has gained some understanding so quickly? This talent… is too terrifying, isn't it?”

“Or is it…” The grey-robed figure couldn't help but guess, “Has he been exposed to 'True Self Characters' before?—Impossible! True Self Characters cannot stably exist in the Void Universe; like this ancient city, it costs a great price to open it once! He hasn't been to the True Universe, how could he have been exposed to True Self Characters?”

True Self Characters were created by super-powerful beings in the True Universe to teach the "True Self Realm".

Although everyone's "True Self" is different; however, there are still commonalities among countless kinds of "True Self". These commonalities are actually the foundation of the "True Self Realm"; the geniuses of the True Universe have learned the True Self Characters and the "basic knowledge" compiled from the True Self Characters, so the grade of their comprehension of the "True Self Realm" is so high.

And the greatest opportunity in this ancient city is the "True Self Characters" and the "basic knowledge" between those True Selves.

However, what the grey-robed figure didn't expect was—Xu Ming hadn't even learned the "True Self Characters" language, but just looking at it casually, he actually had some understanding!

Such talent is undeniably terrifying!

…

The other nearly ten thousand geniuses naturally did not have Xu Ming's comprehension ability. They wandered around the ancient city for a long time without any gain.

Gradually, many geniuses began to search the ancient city on a large scale.

Finally, some geniuses discovered several special buildings in the ancient city.

“Void Universe Battlefield?—It seems that challenges in the ancient city must be conducted in the Void Universe Battlefield!”

“Manifestation Tower?—Here, you can prove your strength!”

“True Self Pavilion!—Contains various secret books for improving the 'True Self Realm'!”

The geniuses who found the "True Self Pavilion" were immediately excited—without a doubt, the True Self Pavilion was definitely a place with great opportunities!

These geniuses couldn't wait to immediately choose a secret book suitable for themselves.

However, these geniuses were told after entering the True Self Pavilion—they had to first prove their strength in the "Manifestation Tower" before they were qualified to take books in the "True Self Pavilion".

Passing the first level of the Manifestation Tower grants access to the "True Self Character Codex".

Passing the second level of the Manifestation Tower grants access to the "True Self Realm Basics".

Passing the third level of the Manifestation Tower grants access to the "Complete Explanation of the True Self Realm".

Only these three codices were retained in the True Self Pavilion; as for more opportunities, one could only find and comprehend them in the ancient city.

Immediately, many geniuses began to challenge the "Manifestation Tower".

The first two levels of the Manifestation Tower were not difficult to pass; basically all the geniuses present could pass them. However, the third level was slightly more difficult, requiring the strength of the Primordial Myriad Things Ranking to pass.

In the entire ancient city, apart from Xu Ming, the strength of the other geniuses in their peak state had not yet reached the "Primordial Myriad Things Ranking" level; moreover, many geniuses were now suppressed and weakened, making it even more impossible to pass the third level.

However, even just these two codices from the first two levels were enough for these geniuses to comprehend for a while.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…

In the ancient city, geniuses were constantly obtaining these two secret books.

One must know that the geniuses who can participate in the assessment are definitely the most top-notch Myriad Things Realm geniuses in the entire universe! In terms of talent, these geniuses are probably not inferior to the geniuses of the True Universe in the slightest; it's just that they have never had the nurturing conditions of the geniuses of the True Universe, so their strength has stopped at the Heavenly Ranking.

Now, with two codices from the True Universe, many geniuses immediately had some understanding; the grade of their "True Self" also began to transform from "Emperor Grade" towards "God Grade".
