Chapter 1072: Grand Chamber of Dilemma
Within almost every residential domain and realm of the Myriad Sea God Palace, at least one Chamber of Dilemma existed.
The Chamber of Dilemma was a gathering place where disciples shared their cultivation difficulties and sought advice or solutions from their peers. It relied on the benevolence and goodwill of others to solve the issues and didn’t involve any monetary transactions.
When Vaan arrived before the biggest Chamber of Dilemma in the Fish-men Domain, the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, the depressing sight was just as he had imagined—gloomy, lifeless, and filthy.
The interior walls were filled with texts of problems, and even the floor was littered with mountains of dirty scrolls and parchment papers stained with foul blood or impure substances.
People staying in such a place for prolonged periods could contract unknown diseases.
The negative energy within the Grand Chamber of Dilemma was so concentrated that Vaan could feel the accumulated despair of the troubled disciples from a distance.
The Chamber of Dilemma was supposed to be open to disciples of all statuses.
However, since the Chamber of Dilemma was mostly visited by impoverished and untalented disciples, the more talented and well-off disciples avoided it like the plague. They didn’t want to be associated with such a place, not to mention it was much faster to use contribution points to receive guidance from higher-level beings.
As a result, even the most common issues encountered in cultivation remained unresolved, and the Chamber of Dilemma became a gathering place for the lowest ranks of the Myriad Sea God Palace.
Occasionally, a passing Professor or Associate Professor might feel generous and resolve a few dilemmas for the troubled disciples, earning their gratitude.
However, most of the time, the majority of the dilemmas remain unresolved.
To others, the Grand Chamber of Dilemma was a trash mountain with no value worthy of investment. But for Vaan, who has no backing, it was the best place to gather loyal followers and fame.
Talent could be remolded once he learned the ways of the Soul Masters, while sincere hearts were harder to earn.
The Boundless Sea and Sky Aura wasn’t omnipotent, at least not at its current level. The more spiritually enlightened the beings were, the less likely they would be subjected to its influence.
Furthermore, it could not change the beliefs or ideologies that the beings have already formed.
’I expected this place to be in poor conditions, but this state is still surprising,’ Vaan thought.
The Grand Chamber of Dilemma was built to hold up to a hundred thousand humanoids, but it had been in a state of abandonment. There wasn’t a single soul inside, let alone holding a discussion and exchange of knowledge.
However, millions of ill-stricken, crippled-like fish-men disciples could be found camping at the bottom of the enormous crystal mountain.
An uninformed person could easily mistake the area for a slum district.
However, calling the current Grand Chamber of Dilemma a slum district wasn’t exactly wrong. It had indeed been turned into a slum district.
’With such a sorry sight right outside of the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, it’s no surprise that other disciples would feel reluctant to visit it,’ Vaan mused as he confidently strode toward the large open entrance ahead, unaffected by the unclean environment.
As Vaan passed through the region of ragged and filthy huts, the dispirited, lifeless eyes of the impoverished disciples briefly sparkled with life before losing their glimmer again.
"You mustn’t come here, Noble Lord. I fear the impurity here will only make you feel filthy and unpleasant," said a concerned gold-scaled merman with a necrotized tail.
"You don’t have to worry about that. I’m just taking a look. I’ll leave after my business here is done," Vaan calmly said without looking back.
The gold-scaled merman could only acknowledge Vaan’s decision and give up. He had already shared his concern. Adding anything else might just displease him.
Several impoverished fish-men disciples quietly sighed at the short exchange.
A passing Professor or Assistant Professor might feel generous and solve a few problems in the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, but Vaan was just a young disciple. Visitors like him weren’t uncommon; they normally came to satisfy their curiosity and would leave shortly after. ṛἈŊọʙÈ𝓢
At least, that was what the impoverished disciples believed.
However, many impoverished disciples were surprised when Vaan’s figure disappeared inside the grand chamber.
"This..."
Inside the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, Vaan was immediately greeted with foul, slimy substances and grimy parchment papers floating toward him.
Vaan waved his hand, shifting all the impurities to one side, completely ignoring the parchment papers and the mountain of scrolls filled with problems recorded by the impoverished disciples.
The Grand Chamber of Dilemma recorded many problems, which Vaan could only tackle one step at a time.
Naturally, his attention was drawn to the problems inscribed on the crystal walls. Slimy substances and small debris covered the details.
Vaan casually picked a problem and tapped on it.
In that instance, the crystal wall came to life, lighting up with moderate brightness. The texts became clear, and other existing problems were pushed aside, highlighting the selected problem for focused reading.
Ample space was also provided below for Vaan to write down any insight or solution.
Not far to the right, a circular blue button also appeared on the crystal wall. When Vaan pressed it, a crystal pen was pushed out.
Evidently, the crystal pen was used to scribe on the wall.
Whether it was inside the crystal wall or the crystal pen, Vaan noticed the sparkles of microscopic yet illuminating white particles.
’Hydrolectium Particle,’ the term immediately came to mind.
Between heaven and earth, wherever the transmission of information and technology was present, Hydrolectium Particles would also be present.
It was also called Starlight Hydron.
Supposedly, it was a higher form of magically charged hydrogen atoms found across the Boundless Sea and Sky Domain.
It was a miracle carrier of starlight, capable of containing vast information within its tiny frame, yet appearing lighter than normal hydrons and capable of moving at superluminal speeds.
Rumors spoke of it granting immense power and authority to those who could freely manipulate it. Removing the restraints and rewriting the laws of the world was within the realms of possibility.
Although Vaan was interested in Hydrolectium Particles, he quickly refocused on the objective at hand.
