Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 422: Hall of Enlightenment, Monument of Chaos, Choose the Right Master

"Well, the matter of choosing a master can only be decided after you enter the Hall of Enlightenment,"

Receptionist Derwig said.

"The Hall of Enlightenment?!"

Daode Tianzun and the others blinked in surprise. It was the first time they had heard of this place.

"The Hall of Enlightenment is the most famous location in Chaos City. It was created by the City Lord as a place of enlightenment to train geniuses like you. It is a place countless powerful beings dream of entering,"

Receptionist Derwig sighed emotionally.

"Is there something magical about this place?"

Patriarch Kunpeng asked curiously.

"Of course it's amazing,"

Receptionist Derwig said seriously. "Inside the Hall of Enlightenment, there are Chaos Monuments left behind by powerful gods. These monuments are filled with strange lines and mysterious patterns.

Every Chaos Monument represents a unique cultivation path, a road that leads straight to the peak. If one manages to comprehend just one Chaos Monument, they may become a superpower in Chaos—perhaps even reach the level of a God King."

He paused before continuing:

"The most important one is the Ancient Chaos Serpent Monument, created by the City Lord himself. His supreme cultivation method is embedded within it.

If someone manages to fully comprehend this Chaos Monument, they might become a supreme powerhouse just like the City Lord. For such a strong person, creating new worlds would be as easy as breathing."

This means that the Chaos Monuments inside the Hall of Enlightenment are not only for geniuses to study. Even many gods often line up to gain insight from them, because the Dao mysteries they contain are immensely beneficial.

This place is, without a doubt, the most precious and mysterious location in Chaos City.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Daode Tianzun and the others widened their eyes, awe flashing across their faces. Inside the Hall of Enlightenment, not only are there Chaos Monuments left by powerful gods, but also the one left behind by the Lord of Chaos City himself.

If they could comprehend one of these monuments, especially the one left by the City Lord, the benefits would be unimaginable.

Everyone's hearts raced with excitement. They couldn't suppress their eagerness to enter the Hall of Enlightenment and examine the Chaos Monuments carefully.

"Master Derwig, why do we have to enter the Hall of Enlightenment before we can decide on a master?"

Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but ask.

"Because it's not just the master who chooses the apprentice. The apprentice must also choose the master,"

Receptionist Derwig said solemnly. "Every being has different strengths and affinities. Therefore, the most important thing is to find a master who suits you—not necessarily the strongest master."

Choose the one that fits, not the strongest?

Hearing this, Daode Tianzun and the others nodded in agreement. Every being, even gods, had different talents.

Choosing a master that doesn't suit you would bring little benefit to your cultivation. After all, a powerful master doesn't necessarily make a good teacher. A powerful teacher doesn't always produce powerful disciples.

If one must choose, it's best to choose a master who can truly guide their path.

"In fact, the Chaos Monument serves as a method of selecting both apprentices and masters,"

Receptionist Derwig continued. "If you resonate with a certain Chaos Monument, it means you've accepted that cultivation path—and the god who left it behind is likely the most suitable master for you.

Thus, entering the Hall of Enlightenment is essentially the beginning of the master selection process—or perhaps the gods choosing their disciples."

"I see."

Daode Tianzun and the others nodded again. They now understood that the selection was all about fate. Without it, no matter how talented someone was, they couldn't be taught.

"Master Derwig, if we resonate with the Chaos Monument left behind by the City Lord, does that mean we have a chance to become his apprentice?"

Nuwa suddenly asked, turning her gaze to Receptionist Derwig.

The others' eyes lit up. Truth be told, even if they weren't a perfect fit, becoming the disciple of someone like the City Lord would be a dream come true.

"Become the City Lord's apprentice?"

Hearing this, Receptionist Derwig chuckled. "You all certainly have ambition.

Do you have any idea how many beings across the heavens and myriad worlds dream of being the City Lord's disciple? Even God Kings desire to be his apprentice.

And yet, to this day, the City Lord has never accepted a single apprentice. Do you really think it's possible for you?"

He looked at Daode Tianzun and the others with a half-smile—not mocking them, but rather recalling his own youthful dreams of greatness.

But with time, such dreams faded.

"Uhh..."

Daode Tianzun and the others were speechless.

They knew it would be difficult to become the City Lord's disciple, but they hadn't expected that even God Kings had failed—and that the City Lord had never once taken on a disciple.

From this, they could clearly grasp the City Lord's terrifying status and strength. Even a God King would be like a child before such a supreme being.

If the gap in power wasn't so immense, there's no way a God King would ever be convinced to bow his head.

"To be honest, whether or not someone like the City Lord accepts a disciple depends purely on his mood and fate,"

Receptionist Derwig shook his head. "A being of such strength doesn't need to prove anything by accepting disciples.

Instead of spending time teaching others, he'd rather focus on his own cultivation. That's why he has never accepted any disciples.

Of course, if one of you is truly fortunate enough to catch his eye and become his apprentice, that would be a monumental honor—even I would have to show you great respect."

He believed that becoming the City Lord's disciple was many times more difficult than becoming a god.

After all, becoming a god was still possible. But becoming the City Lord's disciple? That was almost a myth.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Receptionist Derwig suddenly paused, as if sensing something, and looked into the distance.

In an instant, a street in the distance began to shake violently. The ground trembled, roars echoed through the air, smoke and dust billowed upward, and even the Chaos Void itself seemed to quake.

"What's happening?!"

Daode Tianzun and the others immediately stood up. A fatal killing intent swept over them, as if two terrifying forces were colliding in the distance—releasing waves of pure destruction.
