There was an extremely large mountain deep within Desolate Hall. The mountainwas withered yellow in color and there was not the slightest greenery on top.From a far distance away, it looked like a barren land filled with a desolateaura.

In the sky above this mountain peak, an enormous Pill River whistled past. Atthis moment, this Pill River, which would usually not stop flowing, revealed astrange phenomenon. Not only did the whistling speed slowed down, but anincomparably vast and mighty Nirvana Qi was continuously pouring down from thePill River. That manner was as though a huge hole had been formed in the PillRiver.

Nirvana Qi whizzed down like floodwater before it finally poured onto thelarge mountaintop.

Buzz buzz.

That mountain actually began to tremble when the Pill River poured down. Rockfragments continued to fall and numerous large crack lines began to form on themountain.

Swoosh swoosh!

When this drastic change occurred on the mountaintop, countless rushing windsounds were also emitted from the sky all around. After a couple of minutes,the surrounding sky, large trees and mountain were immediately occupied by adensely packed sea of people. The originally quiet mountain forest turnedincomparably lively at this moment.

Various noises gathered together and spread in a deafening manner. Even theclouds in the sky were scattered.

These people not only consisted of the disciples from Desolate Hall. Even thedisciples from the three other halls had all rushed over. This was because theywere clearly aware that what was going to happen next could perhaps alter theranking of the four halls.

Other than the Hall Competition, it was extremely rare to see the disciplesfrom all four halls gathering together. Even when the disciples from Sky Halllearned the “Sky Emperor Scripture”, it did not cause such a commotion. Fromthis, one could tell the degree of respect the Great Desolation Scripture hadin the hearts of the Dao Sect’s disciples…

Swoosh!

Numerous rays of light rushed over from the distant sky. Finally, when theywere about to reach this mountaintop that had undergone a drastic change, theyrevealed themselves. The two of them in front were Chen Zhen and Wu Dao.

There were six people following behind them. All six of them were quite old.Their auras were all powerful and mighty and were not the least bit weaker thanChen Zhen.

Amongst the six, three of them were not strangers. They were the deputy hallchiefs of the three other halls whom Lin Dong had met when he first entered DaoSect. Clearly, the remaining three, who had even more powerful auras than them,were naturally the chief of the three other halls!

This time around, the opening of the Great Desolate Tablet had actuallyattracted all the three other hall chiefs over…

“Even the chief of Sky, Earth and Flood Halls have come…”

Jiang Hao, one of the senior direct disciples of the Desolate Hall, stood inthe midair and looked at the few figures in front. He involuntarily smacked hismouth and laughed.

“What is there to be surprised about. Other than these hall chiefs, I believethat perhaps even some extremely senior elders are observing this placesecretly. Studying the Great Desolation Scripture is a major event for our DaoSect.” Pang Tong said.

“If we can successfully comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture this timearound, our Desolate Hall will likely be able to improve its ranking in theupcoming Hall Competition.” Fang Yun stared at the shaking mountain and wasready to get into the action.

Pang Tong turned silent when he heard this and he did not utter even a singleword. Being the most experienced senior direct disciple in Desolate Hall, heclearly understood the difficulty of comprehending the Great DesolationScripture. In the past hundred years, everyone was left disappointed after theGreat Desolate Tablet opened up. Who knows if today will be the exception?

“Hey, where is that fellow, Lin Dong? If he ends up missing such a majorevent, would he not end up knocking himself to death from regret?” Fang Yun’seyes swept around before asking in a surprised manner.

“He went to meet the sect master half a month ago. They brought back theImmortal Yuan Ancient Seed and performed a deed of great merit. The sect mastershould have given him a reward. However, you can be rest assured that given hischaracter, it is impossible for him to miss this chance to study the GreatDesolate Scripture.” Pang Tong said.

“That fellow Lin Dong… I heard that he even wounded Yao Ling, who was rankedfourth on the sects’ wanted list. What an abnormal fellow…” Jiang Hao laughedbitterly.

“Junior Lin Dong is also a disciple of our Desolate Hall. The stronger hebecomes, the better it is for our Desolate Hall. You should not feel unhappyjust because you lost to him.” Pang Tong knitted his brows and lectured. Beingthe most experienced senior direct disciple, his prestige in the Desolate Hallwas clearly quite high.

“How is that possible. I am not such a petty person. If he can comprehend theGreat Desolation Scripture this time around, I will be happy as well.Otherwise, our Desolate Hall will end up losing face again during the upcomingHall Competition.” Jiang Hao spoke helplessly.

Pang Tong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. He was just about tospeak when a great number of rushing wind sound were suddenly transmitted froma distance away. After which, dozens of figures rushed over and landed a shortdistance away from them.

The surrounding Dao Sect’s disciples immediately erupted into an uproar whenthis group appeared. Those many gazes that shot over also became a lot morerespectful.

“That is big senior sister Xiaoxiao and her group… There is also senior QingYe from Earth Hall and senior Mu Li from Flood Hall. Tsk tsk, it is rumoredthat the three of them have all comprehended the mysterious scriptures of theirrespective halls. They can be considered as the most outstanding trio amongstthe Dao Sect younger generation members…”

“That’s right. It is especially the case for big senior sister Xiaoxiao. It isrumored that she has reached nine Yuan Nirvana Stage. Along with the strengthof the “Sky Emperor Scripture”, it is likely that she would be hard pressed tofind a worthy opponent unless one is an expert who has stepped into theMysterious Life Stage.”

“You have forgotten about Lin Dong from Desolate Hall. Previously, he foughtwith Yao Ling, a former deacon of Yuan Gate and even managed to injure him.That Yao Ling is an expert who had stepped into the nine Yuan Nirvana Stage along time ago.”

“Yes, I have also heard about this. If this is true, that Lin Dong is simplytoo perverse. Coincidentally, he is also a disciple of Desolate Hall. This timearound, he should also possess the qualifications to study the Great DesolationScripture. I wonder if he will succeed…”

“No one knows. Although his performance has been extremely stellar ever sincehe joined Dao Sect, the Great Desolation Scripture is something that even bigsenior sister Xiaoxiao was unable to learn…”

This group of human figures that broke through the air and arrived wasnaturally Ying Xiaoxiao, Ying Huanhuan and the rest. Following beside them wereQing Ye from Earth Hall, Mu Li from the Flood Hall and some other extremelyfamous senior direct disciples from the other three halls. This lineup wasconsidered to be the most magnificent one amongst the current youngergeneration members in Dao Sect. Therefore, all the gazes in the mountainsgathered towards them when they appeared.

Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan, who were standing in front, were naturallythe focal point of all their attention. However, comparatively speaking, mostof the gazes from the younger disciples were gathered on the young lady with ablack ponytail, who appeared extremely pure and lively.

This did not mean that Ying Xiaoxiao lacked charm. However, her prestigeamongst the younger disciples was simply too high. Furthermore, her usual cooldemeanor also caused some disciples to treat her with exceptional respect.Hence, they naturally did not dare to look at her in the same way as theylooked at Ying Huanhuan.

Although Ying Huanhuan was merely wearing a simple white blouse and pantstoday, her figure appeared exceptionally lithe and delicate. Her clothesoutlined a figure that was filled with liveliness and attracted a greatattention. Together with her ponytail that jumped gently when she turned herhead and the gentle blink of her bright charming large eyes, her appearance wasso innocent that it was a complete mess.

Ying Huanhuan’s large eyes scanned her surroundings. However, she did not findthat familiar figure. Her eyebrows were bunched up as she said, “That fellowLin Dong is actually not around? Is he going to give this opportunity a miss?”

“It is not strange for him to do so. Although junior Lin Dong brother isextremely talented, he has merely just joined Desolate Hall.” Standing besideher, Qing Ye laughed faintly.

“The reason that fellow joined Desolate Hall is because he is after the GreatDesolation Scripture. How is it possible for him to give up on thisopportunity? Moreover, he is already a senior direct disciple of Desolate Halland he possesses the qualifications to study the Great Desolation Scripture,”Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Qing Ye and said.

Qing Ye felt extremely displeased in his heart when he saw Ying Huanhuantalking about Lin Dong as if she was extremely familiar with him. However, hedid not reveal anything as he did not want to be seen as a petty person.Immediately, he could only turn his head in a somewhat unnatural manner andsoftly speak to someone else besides him.

Ying Xiaoxiao quietly shook her head when she saw this scene but did not sayanything else. She merely threw her gaze towards the shaking mountain.Following the spread of the crack line, a greyish-yellow colored gigantictablet was slowly breaking out of the mountain at that spot. A desolate aurathat originated from the ancient times quietly fluctuated within this place.

Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes were somewhat complicated as she watched the mountain.Her character was quite haughty. Back then, she arrogantly tried to learn theGreat Desolation Scripture. However, she ultimately failed after sitting therefor months. This caused her to suffer quite a heavy blow…

“Great Desolate Tablet…”

Every pair of eyes in this place turned towards the enormous ten thousand feetlarge tablet that had broken out of the mountain. That large tablet was justlike a mountain that was towering above the mountain peak. Its towering andmajestic manner caused it to look just like a divine artifact from the ancienttimes.

“Elder sister, do you think that anyone from Desolate Hall will succeed thistime around?” Ying Huanhuan’s large eyes were a little shaken as she looked atthat enormous object that had broken out from the mountain. After which, shetugged Ying Xiaoxiao wrist and softly asked.

“Jiang Hao and the other three hardly stand a chance.”

Ying Xiaoxiao glanced at Ying Huanhuan. She paused for a moment before shecontinued, “If it is Lin Dong… he may stand a decent chance.”

“Oh…” Ying Huanhuan nodded quietly. Her long eyelashes blinked gently. Theexpression on her small face was a little complicated.

“Why?” Ying Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly.

“If that fellow really comprehends it… wouldn’t that meant that I will have todo whatever he says…” Ying Huanhuan hesitated for a moment before she spokehaltingly with a reddened face.

Even Ying Xiaoxiao felt neither able to laugh nor cry when she heard thesewords. She glared at Ying Huanhuan. “You deserve it.”

Rumble!

The mountain, which was shaking violently, finally came to a gradual stop.Everyone raised their heads and looked at the top of the mountain, where anenormous stone tablet, whose top had almost touched the Pill River, hadappeared. All of them were as tiny as ants before that stone tablet.

This was the Great Desolate Tablet.

The most powerful scripture of the four great mysterious scriptures, the GreatDesolation Scripture, was hidden within. However, since a hundred years ago,the question on whether anyone could understand it has been left unanswered.
