Even with careful observation, the distinction between the "Chaos Power" understood by Fang Chen and the true "Chaos Power" was evident, yet the shock in the hearts of Wang Lin and the other five remained undiminished.
Because even if it was merely "Pseudo-Chaotic Power," they had never heard of any martial artist at the Daoist Master Realm level mastering it. Even if there were some, they would be extremely rare. At least among the six of them, none had achieved such a feat or even heard of it.
Moreover, even "Pseudo-Chaotic Power," if it contained even a fraction of true "Chaos Power," whether one-tenth or even a few tenths of its might, would still be quite formidable, enough to instill fear in those at the Daoist Master Realm level.
Yet this powerful force was now comprehended by Fang Chen, who was merely at the Alchemy Realm level, which inevitably stirred great waves in the hearts of the six who had just managed to calm themselves.
"The appearance of a freak, truly a freak!" The Elder in White Robes gazed intently in Fang Chen's direction, murmuring to himself.
"Such talent and comprehension are indeed unparalleled throughout history. Congratulations to Brother Wang," someone in the Council Hall began to congratulate Wang Lin.
"Forget about Nirvana Realm; if anyone claims that this Little One might one day reach the true pinnacle of martial arts and step into the Mysterious Longevity Realm, I wouldn't doubt it. This little genius..." someone shook their head and said.
The fact that a strong practitioner at the Daoist Master Realm expressed such sentiments would undoubtedly cause quite a stir if it were to spread. However, within this Council Hall, the other five did not seem to disagree; instead, several of them nodded with wry smiles, appearing quite in agreement.
Clearly, Fang Chen's repeated miraculous achievements had led everyone to believe that any miracle happening to him was possible.
"That Little One is about to awaken. We've been here for so long; why don't we all Lian Jue together to take a good look at this extraordinary Little One? It would also serve as our welcome for this Little One arriving at Heavenly Martial Academy," Elder in White Robes said while stroking his beard and laughing.
The simultaneous Lian Jue by six Daoist Master Realm strong practitioners to welcome a new student into the academy was unprecedented, whether in this academy or the other two. After all, even characters of unparalleled Heavenly Pride would not cause such a commotion; typically only one Daoist Master Realm strong practitioner would come to greet them, at most two or three. But now...
Strong practitioners naturally have their pride, especially those at the Daoist Master Realm. For six of them to perform Lian Jue just for one new student was something unimaginable for anyone else. Yet at this moment, as soon as Elder in White Robes finished speaking, the other five looked toward Fang Chen's direction and almost in unison said: "Good!"
As soon as these words fell, the six figures moved and instantly vanished from the Council Hall.
"This Junior Disciple has been comprehending for so long; why hasn't he awakened yet? I really don't know what he is grasping. Just this aura alone is enough to astonish people."
Now it had been nearly half an hour since Fang Chen comprehended "Pseudo-Chaotic Power" from the Yin-Yang Stone Carving. Nevertheless, no one left; instead, more people arrived upon hearing the news. The number had grown from just over twenty at first to nearly forty now.
Forty people may not seem like a large number within a sect like Ziyang Sect. After all, with thousands of disciples in total within the sect, forty among them hardly counted for much.
However, it must be known that the admission standards of the Heavenly Martial Academy are exceedingly high. Those who can enter are all true geniuses, talents of Heavenly Pride. If placed outside, any one of them would be enough to become a treasure of a sect, a hope for the Sect. At this level, the forty individuals can almost be said to be everyone currently present in the Heavenly Martial Academy, excluding those temporarily absent.
Indeed, Fang Chen's insights into the Yin-Yang Stone Carving have gradually attracted nearly all the disciples in the academy to observe him. This kind of commotion is unprecedented; even during the times when other exceptional Heavenly Pride figures comprehended the Yin-Yang Stone Carving, none had caused such a stir as Fang Chen has now. Of course, back then, the number of people in the Heavenly Martial Academy was likely not as many as it is today. After all, every disciple in the academy has been discovered and brought in over time.
Nevertheless, after today's commotion, although Fang Chen has not yet truly entered the Heavenly Martial Academy, his reputation has already spread widely. Within half an hour, everyone in the academy has learned the name Fang Chen and understands what those two words represent.
He is a Freak, a true Freak, someone who can make even those with unparalleled Heavenly Pride feel inferior!
Suddenly!
At that moment, the two layers of lotus leaves surrounding Fang Chen, which had been continuously rotating, suddenly came to a halt. Simultaneously, Fang Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged and motionless for quite some time, gently trembled. The dazed look in his eyes, which had been completely absorbed in the Yin-Yang Stone Carving, began to regain its clarity.
"The Junior Disciple is about to awaken!"
Someone exclaimed joyfully.
The surrounding discussions instantly ceased; it felt as if the entire world fell silent in that moment. Then, swish! Pairs of eyes filled with wonder, excitement, and joy all turned back to Fang Chen.
"Life and death transform into yin and yang; yin and yang merge into chaos. Chaos Power... what I just comprehended seems not to be true Chaos Power. Where exactly is the deviation?" Fang Chen murmured to himself with furrowed brows.
Although he had awakened, his attention remained entirely focused on the Pseudo-Chaotic Power he had previously comprehended. He was not unfamiliar with Chaos Power; indeed, having inherited the Heritage of a Half-Step Nirvana Realm Expert and part of the memories of a peak Nirvana Realm powerhouse made him acutely aware that what he understood as "Chaos Power" from the Yin-Yang Stone Carving still had some discrepancies compared to true Chaos Power.
These discrepancies are neither trivial nor insignificant. It must be noted that even if it seems like just a step away, sometimes the actual effects can be worlds apart. Therefore, what Fang Chen comprehended—this "Chaos Power" with slight deviations from true Chaos Power—cannot truly be called Chaos Power; at best, it can only be regarded as Pseudo-Chaotic Power.
Naturally, this outcome did not satisfy Fang Chen. If he could grasp true Chaos Power now—even if it were just a trace—if utilized well, it could rival his life-saving trump card or even compete with his Forbidden Technique capable of severely injuring Dao Sovereign Realm Experts.
Chaos Power is an ultimate force that only Peerless Strongmen of Nirvana Realm can master. Looking across all the exceptional Heavenly Pride figures born on Tianyuan Continent—those astonishing individuals—Fang Chen knows only one person managed to wield such extraordinary power without reaching Nirvana Realm.
In the Colorful Sacred Realm, Fang Chen's Heritage originally belonged to the White-Clad Prodigy—a figure with terrifying achievements in martial arts and Spirit Arrays who faced mysterious pursuers at Half-Step Nirvana Realm strength and ultimately fell after slaying numerous foes.
Now, with such a great opportunity to almost comprehend the Chaos Power placed before Fang Chen, he ultimately only grasped the Pseudo-Chaotic Power, which naturally left him quite dissatisfied.
"It seems this Little One is still not satisfied." Unbeknownst to Fang Chen, while he was still focusing all his thoughts on figuring out where the Pseudo-Chaotic Power had gone wrong, six figures suddenly appeared not far behind him, led by Lian Jue.
"Greetings, Elders." Upon seeing the arrival of Wang Lin and the other five, the surrounding Disciples of the Academy, who had been focused entirely on Fang Chen, were startled and immediately bowed in unison to the six.
With the terrifying potential of the Three Great Academies' disciples, only those at the Daoist Master Realm could become elders of the academy and guide their cultivation. The elders of Heavenly Martial Academy were indeed Wang Lin and his five companions. Among the forty or so Disciples of the Academy present, many were their actual disciples with a master-disciple relationship, while others, even if not direct disciples, had been taught by Wang Lin and his group.
Thus, aside from their formidable strength at the Daoist Master Realm, their very presence commanded great respect from the Disciples of the Academy. The teachings they imparted were as significant as heaven itself; none dared to forget!
However, just as the crowd was bowing to the six, Wang Lin and his companions simultaneously waved their hands in a gesture for silence. Clearly, they did not wish to disturb Fang Chen, who was still lost in his own thoughts.
The surroundings fell silent in an instant. Eyes shifted once again from Wang Lin and his group back to Fang Chen, who became the focal point of attention once more. A new student at the academy making his first appearance at Heavenly Martial Academy had actually drawn all six elders to appear; this was a tremendous stimulus for many disciples.
It should be noted that when they first arrived at the academy, a large portion of them never even saw an elder; they were all received by attendants. Only a small number got to see an elder come forward, and that was usually just one elder. Very few experienced moments when two or three elders appeared upon their arrival—those were undoubtedly extraordinary individuals known as Heavenly Pride.
But now, Fang Chen's presence had attracted all six elders. This clearly demonstrated how exceptional this Junior Disciple was.
