Age of Evolution# - Chapter 505
Chapter 505: Chapter 506: Phoenix Three Tribulations
These three Heaven Steles are indeed very difficult choices. In terms of depth, the Static Tablet containing time law should be the first one.
Next is the Boundary Tablet with space law, and finally the Illusion Character Stele containing the spiritual law.
However, in terms of practicality, the Illusion Character Stele is what most people are willing to try to comprehend, after all, the use of spiritual power is too widespread.
In fact, there are few people who have ever reached the top of the Spiritual Power Stone Tablet, proving that it is not easy to comprehend any of the tablets.
As time passed, the martial artists present became more and more numerous. Among them, Fire Kirin’s martial artists were the fewest, the Insect Clan’s martial artists were the most, and there were dozens of martial artists from the Rakshasa and Landis Empires. Each of them was a top-notch genius picked from millions.
Lanka from Landis Empire chose the Illusion Character Stele, and Jin Naluo from Rakshasa Empire chose the Boundary Tablet.
Among the commanders of the insect race, besides the Mantis Clan Commander who chose the Static Tablet, the other six commanders each chose one of the other two tablets.
Ye Hua, the pride of the Fire Kirin, chose the Boundary Tablet.
“The best is not necessarily the most suitable; I hope I can use my Cold Stone.”
Ye Hua leaped up and jumped onto a pillar in the first row of the Illusion Character Stele.
Many Fire Kirin martial artists followed Ye Hua onto the pillar.
After getting on the pillar, the first thing they saw was the faint glow of the tablet.
From the top of the pillar, the feeling was completely different from the bottom. Some characters appeared on the tablet, and each character seemed to be twisting vaguely and distantly, as if in another space, making people want to understand and follow involuntarily.
This is the characteristic of the Space Tablet. Only when you see through and master a character will the second row of pillars be open to you; otherwise, you can’t go up at all.
The same is true for the Spiritual Power Tablet. Each character floats and drifts. You can only concentrate your spiritual power to comprehend and understand it; there is no other way.
The Time Law Tablet is even more so; only a dozen characters can be seen in the first row, very few, but those who just arrived can’t recognize even one character.
“What is this?! These characters have no pattern, how can anyone see any clues? Do you want us to become scholars?”
A Star System Stage expert from the Insect Clan couldn’t help but shout, but as soon as the complaint was made, a golden thunder fell from the sky, and he vanished into ashes on the spot.
Some martial artists looked at him disdainfully, and warned that this place was a forbidden land left by the ancient deities; he dared to talk nonsense and deserved it.
However, there is some truth to what he said. To comprehend the tablets requires not only talent and strength but also endurance.
At this time, Ye Hua of the Fire Kirin Empire took out the cold stone, absorbed it, and a cool breath entered the eyes, revealing the shape of the characters on the stone tablet.
“Oh! Cold Stone!”
People took out cold stones, and with the help of cold stones, gradually saw the characters on the stone tablet more clearly.
But seeing the words does not mean you understand them. The words don’t make any sense and are hard to understand.
Some people suddenly laughed while looking, some suddenly cried, some shook their heads and seemed ecstatic, while others were silent and didn’t understand at all.
People have prepared a large number of cold stones, and whenever the power of the cold stones in front of them runs out, they need to use new cold stones. If there is not enough reserve at this time, they will undoubtedly be eliminated.
More and more martial artists entered the Suspended Island, and fewer and fewer people were coming. As new martial artists arrived, they would immediately go to the Heaven Stele to comprehend, and the place gradually quieted down.
Everyone is making good use of every bit of time, because only one person can climb to the top of each Heaven Stele, and everyone around is a competitor. If someone else reaches the highest pillar first, everyone else will lose the opportunity!
The small spacecraft shuttle through the galaxy, gradually approaching the Suspended Island.
Having traveled for almost half a month, the Suspended Island is now less than two days away.
Lin Zhen was sitting on a recliner of the small spacecraft, sharing the data seen inside the Dimensional Universe to the spacecraft’s screen.
Next to Lin Zhen, Little Phoenix stood quietly on another chair, watching the big screen.
Since a few days ago, Lin Zhen has been sharing some things from the Dimensional Universe to keep Little Phoenix from getting bored.
But Little Phoenix is not easy to please. Ordinary things cannot arouse its interest. Only some relatively shocking news can attract its attention.
Such as the news from the Chaotic Star River. Lin Zhen found that it loves to watch it in particular.
However, it is impossible to convey the internal situation of the Suspended Island because there is a special force field there, and video data cannot be transmitted.
A few days have passed, and Little Phoenix no longer cares about the events in the Chaotic Star River. It seems to be always distracted.
Lin Zhen didn’t feel good seeing its low spirits.
Like Xiao Nuan before, Little Phoenix is connected with Lin Zhen’s bloodline. When it’s unhappy, Lin Zhen is also unhappy and wants to find a way to make it happier.
“Little darling, how about I find you some information about Phoenixes?”
Little Phoenix’s eyes brightened, and it looked at Lin Zhen with expectation.
Lin Zhen immediately ordered Chris: “Find all the information you can about Phoenixes and share it with our Little Phoenix, to dispel her boredom.”
“Yes, master.”
Soon, a lot of information about Phoenixes appeared on the big screen, all listed by Chris.
“Come little treasure, look at these things, they are all about your race, stories, legends, so many of them.”
Little Phoenix was still interested and looking at them curiously, but as Lin Zhen flipped through them for a while, it seemed to lose interest.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”
Little Phoenix didn’t make a sound, but her disinterested look clearly showed that she had seen these things before.
Lin Zhen pondered for a moment, and it was certain that Little Phoenix had lived with humans before and had seen these materials, which was not surprising.
But the amount of information Lin Zhen could access in the Dimensional Universe was limited, and in order to see more, he would need higher access.
Lin Zhen currently had several identities with access: a lord of the Tianhe Empire, an Asura King of the Asura Arena, and a platinum customer of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.
These three identities were not considered high, especially in the Fire Kirin Empire, they were not worth mentioning.
In order to gain higher access, Lin Zhen needed a higher status.
Seeing Little Phoenix looking unhappy, Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said to Chris, “Go to the Universe First Bank branch on Kirin Holy Star.”
The next moment, Lin Zhen appeared in front of the bank branch.
“To open an account, how much money do I need to deposit for your highest level of customer access?”
“Well, sir, the minimum deposit to open an account here is 100 million Kirin Coins, Silver customer requires 1 billion, Gold customer 10 billion, Diamond customer 100 billion, and the Supreme customer is the highest level, which requires a deposit of 100 billion Cosmic Crystals to open a Supreme customer card.”
Lin Zhen nodded, 100 billion Cosmic Crystals was indeed a huge fortune in a high-level civilization Universe Country, and should be enough to open a Supreme account.
“So this is the highest, right?”
“Not exactly. The Supreme One Star requires 100 billion, and for every additional 100 billion Cosmic Crystals, you can be upgraded to another star level, with the maximum being Nine Stars.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen immediately checked his own wealth.
Initially, Lin Zhen had over 200 billion Cosmic Crystals left within the World Stone, and after multiple plunderings, his total wealth barely exceeded 300 billion.
“Open a Supreme Three Stars account for me.”
“Ah~! If that’s the case, I don’t have the authority to serve you, I will notify our manager, and he and the deputy general manager will be here to serve you immediately.”
Lin Zhen waited for a while, and the deputy general manager and manager of the Fire Kirin Empire branch rushed over, being extremely attentive.
Lin Zhen had seen enough of this kind of thing, and he did not pay much attention to their attentiveness. After depositing the 300 billion Cosmic Crystals, Lin Zhen now had the highest status he had ever had, a Three Stars Supreme card from the Universe First Bank of the Fire Kirin Empire.
This was an exalted status, and his access to information was almost equivalent to the emperor of a middle-level civilization Universe.
With this new status, the access of Lin Zhen’s intelligent life Chris was also upgraded, and her access was greatly increased.
After all this was done, Lin Zhen left the bank and once again asked Chris, “Are there any more news about Phoenixes?”
“I’ll check… Yes, master, I’ll send it to you right away.”
Soon, some new information appeared on the big screen.
“Little treasure, take a look at these things, are they things you haven’t seen before?”
Little Phoenix slowly turned its head, seemingly not quite believing that Lin Zhen could find something it didn’t know about, but it was immediately stunned when it saw the new information on the screen.
The new information on the screen was called Phoenix Three Tribulations.
“Phoenix, the supreme bird among the galaxy beasts, is born with three tribulations.”
“The first is the tribulation of injury, surviving a near death experience.”
“The second is the tribulation of love, infatuation turns into emptiness.”
“The third is the tribulation of death, an inescapable fate!”
“Without overcoming the three tribulations, one cannot truly be a Phoenix.”
Seeing these words, Lin Zhen was taken aback. Why would the fate of a Phoenix be so bumpy?
Did the little Phoenix, who was connected to his bloodline, have to go through such tribulations? Seeing the words “inescapable fate,” Lin Zhen felt uncomfortable in his heart.
“Turn it off, turn it off. What nonsense! These are just deceptive words meant to confuse people.”
Chris closed the big screen, but Little Phoenix didn’t recover for a long time.
These words had clearly had an impact on Little Phoenix. Lin Zhen was worried about her, but she seemed to have figured something out and got over it. She happily jumped into Lin Zhen’s arms and laid on his chest while he groomed her feathers.
When she was happy and comfortable, she would chirp cheerfully, causing Lin Zhen to quickly push the information about the Phoenix Three Tribulations to the back of his mind.
That night, Little Phoenix did not sleep alone but spent the night in Lin Zhen’s arms.
The next morning, Lin Zhen woke up to Little Phoenix’s chirping.
Looking at the radar screen, they were less than a hundred stars away from the Suspended Island, and they would arrive in just a few hours of sailing.
