Chapter 541: Chaos Tree wants quality food
After leaving the Crimson Reaper dome, Max felt a strange curiosity tugging at him. Until now, he had only explored the supreme inheritances—those guarded by the most formidable totems, carved and left behind by ancient Masters.
But what about the lower-tier ones? What about the Profound Hall domes, the ones where most average geniuses headed? Perhaps there were unique traits hidden even in the less exalted legacies. With that thought, he decided to investigate.
He entered one of the Profound Hall totem domes, selected a quiet spot near the front, and began comprehending the inheritance left behind. It didn’t take long. Compared to the overwhelming intricacy of the Supreme Hall totems, the Profound Hall inheritance was much simpler, more direct. He stood up after fully understanding the totem, then instinctively checked inside himself.
But the Chaos Tree remained unchanged.
No reaction. No new leaf. Not even a ripple of energy.
Max frowned. That was strange. He had copied three much higher-level inheritances without difficulty—Flame Tyrant, Black Sun, and Crimson Reaper. So why didn’t this one register?
With his brow furrowed in deep thought, Max went to another Profound Hall dome and repeated the same process. Once again, he completed the comprehension easily, but when he looked within—nothing. No response from the Chaos Tree at all.
This time, Max was truly stunned. ’Why?’ he questioned inwardly. ’What’s the difference? It’s still an inheritance, isn’t it? Then why didn’t it get registered?’
Refusing to accept it without proof, Max dove into a spree of comprehension. He moved from one Profound Hall totem dome to another, meticulously understanding and mastering the inheritances they offered. He chose totems based on elemental alignment, application styles, even rare niche techniques. One after another, he finished them with efficiency and clarity.
