Chapter 293:
At night.
Blazing torches illuminated the surroundings of the Heavenly Sect Mountain. These massive torches, each as thick as a person, encircled the mountain, making the entire area as bright as day.
In addition to this, more than a thousand Heavenly Sect patrol members were continuously monitoring the area around the mountain. With such rigorous protection, approaching the Law Monument seemed as impossible as ascending to the heavens.
Ideally, the best way to guard such a Law Monument would be to protect it directly from nearby. However, anyone near this Monument would be affected by their powerful aura. Even the experts in the Heavenly Sect, like the sect master or elders, could not stay close to the steles for long periods.
This was why the defensive line for guarding the stele extended to the foot of the Heavenly Sect Mountain, leaving the mountain itself relatively empty.
While the Heavenly Sect disciples were meticulously guarding the mountain, a shadow suddenly swept across the sky above them, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind. This shadow bypassed the outer patrol circle and descended swiftly, landing on a spot on the Heavenly Sect Mountain.
By the faint light from the torches below, it was clear that the descending figure was Lin Yan.
Earlier in the day, after dismissing the two methods suggested by Qi Bing, Lin Yan had decided that the quickest way to study the Law Monument was to infiltrate the mountain quietly.
At the moment, Lin Yan couldn't use his own powers.
Sneaking into the Heavenly Sect Mountain was no easy feat, but the unique terrain provided him with an opportunity.
The surrounding peaks were much taller than the Heavenly Sect Mountain. Lin Yan had crafted a simple glider-like device, allowing him to glide effortlessly into the heart of the Heavenly Sect Mountain.
Looking back at the nearly unassembled glider, Lin Yan shook his head and then directed his gaze toward the mountain's summit.
Despite being quite far from the monument, he could already sense the faint ripples of laws emanating from it.
For ordinary people, these ripples were harmful, continuously eroding their internal organs with the power of the laws. However, for Lin Yan, such damage was negligible.
Striding purposefully toward the monument, the closer he got, the stronger the ripples became. These ripples were strikingly similar to those emitted by the middle-aged man he had encountered earlier.
Excitement lit up Lin Yan's face as he entered the monument’s range. As the monument came fully into view, Lin Yan focused entirely on it.
At first glance, it appeared to be a simple, square boulder, with dense engravings covering all four sides.
These engravings weren't text but patterns that conveyed insights into the laws of cultivation. Lin Yan had seen similar patterns before on the Chessboard of Destiny. Now, seeing them again, they felt remarkably familiar.
However, as Lin Yan continued to examine the monument, it began to feel increasingly different.
Scanning the patterns rapidly, he shook his head in disbelief.
The engravings on the stele seemed exceedingly simple, revealing the fundamental secrets of the laws of destiny.
With just one look, Lin Yan comprehended all the mysteries contained within. "Is this the Law Monument? It's quite disappointing," he muttered, shaking his head.
Suddenly, the monument before him shattered with a loud crash. The surface layer, with all its engravings, crumbled away, revealing another layer of content within the monument.
