"Right!" Ye Wuji said with a sudden realization. "The Scholar in White once mentioned that the Heavenly Dao has a period of weakness, occurring in cycles of roughly a thousand years. These runes most likely record the exact timing and portents of the next such period!"
As their comprehension deepened, the runes on the stone tablet grew increasingly brilliant, eventually coalescing into a complete stream of information that transmitted directly into the minds of the three. The information contained the exact timing of the next Heavenly Dao weakness—during the "Five Stars Alignment" three years hence—along with methods on how to most effectively weaken the power of the Heavenly Dao at that crucial moment.
"Wisdom trial: passed," Xuanyuanzi announced. "You have successfully deciphered the basic information of the tablet, demonstrating an extraordinary level of comprehension. The final trial, the Trial of Strength, is about to begin."
