Chapter 85 - CHAPTER 85 – PRACTICING IN THE TRIAL SPACE

Solanky, using the scroll of portals within his internal world, disappeared from the ancestral beast holy land and reappeared in the sealed trial space. The moment he appeared, teleported directly to the space where techniques and manuals of the forsaken god were stored, before him was a mountain range that spanned into the distance. Solanky flew into the skies above the mountain range. Looking down at the mountain range, he could see that the mountain range was a collection of engravings that said, "The strong always learn by not copying blindly from others but using it as a reference." Solanky then descended from the skies to the entrance of the mountain range; being in possession of the scroll of portals, he knew the starting point and end of the mountain range.

At the foot of the first mountain there was a path that led through the mountain; the walls of the mountain were piles of manuals littered every ten meters away from the previous pile of manuals. Solanky drew closer to the manual and observed it with his spiritual power and found out that these scattered manuals were all suitable for beings who just entered the entity level to the peak of the level.

There were thousands of them scattered on the mountains' surface; he walked hurriedly into the mountain range until he came to the point where several transcendent entity techniques and manuals lay. He stopped and started reading through some of the techniques. As he read through the techniques, he began to comprehend how powerful a regular transcendent entity was compared to a powerful peak entity wielding treasures. From reading the techniques and comprehension notes of the forsaken god, he realized that these indebt notes left behind on the mountains were much more valuable than the regular notes and techniques of the transcendent entities of the forsaken realm. Solanky realized that these techniques carried the basic concept of control and mastery of one's surrounding energy manipulation during their Infinite Source God stage inside their own worlds and amplified it by a million to a hundred million times. The amount of amplification achieved indicated how strong and deep the understanding of the transcendent being was in terms of beyond-realm laws, which were millions of times tougher to comprehend.

After two years alone in the trial space, Solanky had comprehended 90% of the techniques and notes left behind by the forsaken god at the entrance of the transcendent techniques path, which far exceeded the first venerable one's 70%. He then moved further into the mountain on the path. He then came to a cave that had two huge golems facing each other; their towering statures made Solanky look like a child before them. One of the golem's eyes glowed, and it began to move towards Solanky. Solanky wasn't that alarmed because he couldn't sense any form of hostility from the golem. 

The golem then stopped ten meters away from Solanky and said, "Reaching this path means you have comprehended 50% of the slips and techniques from before; now you will be tested by me. Before my friend over there tests you before you reach the absolute peak of the mountain in the future. I will test your comprehension level by dispersing some techniques and concepts which are different from the ones you have seen but fundamentally similar." The golem waved its hand, and several engravings and characters floated before it; the inscriptions radiated a chaotic aura, and it seemed to crumble with the slightest touch or contact of spiritual energy. The characters numbered in the tens of billions with different styles to them; no two inscriptions looked the same. 

Solanky sat down cross-legged, and then a hundred thousand clones converged by his will with the help of the scroll of portals, all shot out in different directions to study a scripture or engraving. With his mental focus divided amongst a hundred thousand clones, Solanky began to rearrange the floating engravings by letting the 100,000 clones perform and execute all the techniques he had comprehended. As the clones began to move, the inscriptions and engravings began to converge at different points, and they coalesced into a humanoid form mimicking the movements of Solanky's clones. If one chanced upon this scene, they would think it was a training session of a large faction with its numerous disciples practicing together as if they were about to go to war. 

The golem seeing this was shocked because he never imagined the trial, which seemed to be unconquerable, could be solved in this manner. The respect he had for Solanky soared to the roof because not only was Solanky controlling the 100,000 clones, but he was also in charge of synchronizing the billions of coalescent inscriptions to perfectly follow the movement and actions of the clones. After fifty years of continuous and relentless control, he was able to perfectly assimilate and integrate the inscriptions, which had formed a large projection of the forsaken god, who seemed to throw a punch into the skies as if he were fighting some powerful beings in the skies. 

After the projection was formed, a powerful suppressive aura radiated from Solanky, who sat cross-legged; the aura seemed comparable to the golden armored figure. The golem congratulated Solanky and said, "You are the first to comprehend and solve over 90% of the mysteries of these scriptures and techniques. 

Although you aren't a transcendent entity yet, your comprehension talent guarantees that you reach or surpass that level. Since you passed this level of the test, you are qualified to advance to the next level, my friend. They would test you now." The golem before him retreated and stood near the entrance opposite the previous golem, with the light in its eyes dimming, with the other golem's eyes gaining light slowly as if it was awakening from a long slumber. For no reason Solanky felt a bad premonition upon him; he shifted slightly from his current position, and at that instant a huge crater formed where he stood. Solanky was shocked because he realized that the crater was formed by a blade, and the remnant blade energies continued splitting the ground, burrowing deep. He turned and saw that the second golem wasn't standing at the entrance; he then donned his source-defying body armor, and then BOOM! And he was thrown off into the distance by a terrifying force; he then realized that it was the second golem who attacked him using all the techniques and scriptures he had come across.

Solanky stilled him in mid-air and watched the golem flawlessly executing all the scriptures and techniques he learned. Solanky knew that to overcome this obstacle and advance forward, he had to use stronger techniques different from the ones he just learned. And to do that, he had to create a technique at the level of a transcendent entity.
