Chapter 1015: Thousand Deductions, System Reward

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Wife, I have a plan, but it may take some time.”

No matter what, Jiang Chengxuan fully trusted the system’s prompts and missions and wouldn’t ignore them.

He moved away with Shen Ruyan to a quieter spot, explaining his plan to her.

Naturally, Shen Ruyan had no doubts about Jiang Chengxuan’s capabilities and immediately nodded, saying, “Husband, proceed as you think best. If anything seems amiss, I will let you know.”

“Okay.”

With that, Jiang Chengxuan offered a reassuring smile to his Dao companion—a symbol of the security they found in each other’s presence.

He then approached the center between the black and white stone doors and sat down cross-legged.

The immense, ancient power pressed down on him once more.

Unperturbed, Jiang Chengxuan summoned the Profound Dao Disc with a flash of light from his hand, and began to deduce on the spot.

His Heavenly Calculation Technique surged to their maximum, opening a strange perspective of the world in his mind. In this world of deductions, everything was incredibly abstract; a minor change represented a wealth of information, accessible only to those skilled in deduction.

Now, with the aid of the Profound Dao Disc, his power of Heavenly Calculation Technique exploded, enabling Jiang Chengxuan to understand the riddle before him.

The system’s issue of mission at this juncture clearly had deep meaning.

To unlock the black and white stone doors, a formidable power of deduction was required, not directed at the doors themselves but rather at ancient runes outside.

Underneath this secluded area, numerous runes lay hidden, all linked to the black and white doors. Hidden within these runes was the secret to unlocking the doors.

To deduce such a vast area, identify all the runes, and then deduce their hidden patterns and powers was a herculean mission.

No wonder the mechanisms encountered on the way seemed so arbitrary—the real test was not them.

Those mechanisms and arrays were merely the threshold; the truly terrifying challenge lay in the deductions necessary here.

Completing such deductions, requiring powers possibly beyond the limits of this world, meant that without the ability to reach the realm of immortals, one could not unlock the opportunities behind these stone doors.

Such a prospect was indeed daunting.

Confident in his unparalleled deductive skills within the Floodgate Realm, Jiang Chengxuan knew even his powers were just enough to meet the minimum requirements for these deductions.

Even with the sixth-level Heavenly Calculation Technique, more than a thousand deductions were necessary for a chance to solve this enigma.

He took a deep breath, unwilling to shrink from the challenge.

Knowing the system had issued a mission, he trusted it would not abandon him. For now, he would complete the mission given by the system before considering the feasibility of solving the puzzle.

If he failed, the rewards provided by the system would still be worthwhile.

With resolve, Jiang Chengxuan commenced deep, immersive deduction.

In his mind, images flashed by momentarily, giving birth to endless variations. Using the power of Heavenly Calculation Technique, he seized his targets from these changes and images.

One by one, he unearthed the runes buried deep beneath this secluded land, memorizing them in his mind.

With the black and white doors as the effect, these ancient runes were the cause. With the help of Heavenly Calculation Technique, Jiang Chengxuan continually sought ways to break through the mystery.

Soon, a day had passed, the sun and moon rotated unseen, and one by one, the ancient runes twinkled to life, brought forth by Jiang Chengxuan’s deductions.

Between the black and white doors, Jiang Chengxuan was enveloped in the dense power of Heavenly Calculation Technique, emitting a profoundly mysterious aura.

If not for Shen Ruyan’s understanding that this was the sight of Heavenly Calculation Technique, she might have suspected the doors were assimilating him.

This aura, reminiscent of being assimilated in the universe’s primordial world, made Shen Ruyan vaguely aware that Jiang Chengxuan was deepening his understanding of the secrets of the black and white doors.

Indeed, her intuition was correct.

As more ancient runes were deduced, Jiang Chengxuan’s understanding of the power of the doors deepened significantly. The immense ancient aura, initially quite impactful, now almost went unnoticed by him.

This undoubtedly accelerated the speed of Jiang Chengxuan’s Heavenly Calculation Technique.

In one day, he conducted nearly a hundred deductions, deepening his understanding of the power of deduction. Now, he had fully entered the peak state of deduction.

All external distractions were temporarily forgotten; all he focused on were the variations and information within the realm of Heavenly Calculation Technique.

Deduce! Deduce! Deduce!

This single will dominated Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Shen Ruyan looked at her Dao companion, now completely enveloped by two forces: the incredibly mysterious power of deduction and the immense ancient aura emanating from the black and white stone doors. These two forces were perfectly merged within him, indistinguishable from one another.

This scenario was beyond Shen Ruyan’s comprehension, but knowing that Jiang Chengxuan was in a normal state reassured her, allowing her to remain patient and watchful.

[Ding!]

Suddenly, a notification sound broke through the intense focus of Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, startling him from his deep immersion.

[Congratulations to the host for achieving the milestone of one thousand deductions!]

The voice of the system slowly narrated, and at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan remembered everything—he had completed one thousand deductions, all aimed at deciphering the secrets of the black and white stone doors.

[Reward: Three Deduction Beads!]

Following this unexpected announcement, Jiang Chengxuan felt a surge of joy.

Three Deduction Beads!

This reward confirmed that he had indeed unraveled the mystery behind the stone doors. The Deduction Beads were supreme treasures of the deductive arts, enabling deductions to be made without any hindrance.

With these beads, he could deduce outcomes from any causes, regardless of when or what world they pertained to—a truly dominant capability.

Even the Heavenly Calculation Technique itself could be advanced with the power of these beads, allowing him to foresee its further contents.
