Zhong Ming closed his eyes and focused his mind. An idea had formed, and he continued to immerse himself in comprehending *Star Heaven·Divine Monarch*.
While he was cultivating, the outside world watched as he fell into a strange, silent state the moment his palm touched the Inheritance Stele. This left everyone looking at each other in confusion.
They couldn't quite figure out what was happening to Zhong Ming.
Even those who had previously been pessimistic about his chances didn't dare to jump to conclusions in the face of such an unusual situation.
...
This abnormality initially rendered the Starry Courtyard so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was watching Zhong Ming, waiting for his next move.
Under their watchful eyes, one minute passed, then two, then three, then five... Finally, someone could no longer hold back and began to whisper:
"What's going on with Zhong Ming? How did he go completely silent just by touching the Inheritance Stele?"
