Ch 35: The Destined One

Ye Xiao had already advanced to the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation. His overall strength has increased dramatically and now, the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique was no longer of any use to him. It is because this technique could only help Ye Xiao cultivate to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building.

If not for the treasured fruit given by Su Ling, Ye Xiao would not have stepped into the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation.

Now, if he wants to obtain his cultivation, he has to change his cultivation technique.

At first, Ye Xiao thought of changing his cultivation technique after returning to the Illusionary Spirit Gate. The main cultivation technique of the Illusionary Spirit Gate is called Illusionary Spirit Sutra.

The grade of all treasures in Chaos is divided into Empyrean, Soulbound, Heavenly Soul, and Celestial Spirit.

The Illusionary Spirit Sutra was a Cultivation Technique of Heavenly Soul Grade.

It has to be known that the Illusionary Spirit Sutra is a complete cultivation technique.

On the other hand, the Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture in Ye Xiao's hand was an incomplete cultivation technique. Out of three layers, Ye Xiao only had one layer. But this one layer alone gave Ye Xiao a feeling that it is at least a Celestial Spirit ranked cultivation technique.

Thus, Ye Xiao immediately made the decision and changed his cultivation technique on the spot. After circulating the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture a few times without any problem, Ye Xiao finally stood up and was ready to step toward the ancient tree.

He soon appeared in front of the tree and extended his hand. At the same time, he once again circulated the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture. The silver mist started gathering on Ye Xiao's hand as he easily hold the Red Crystal and pulled it out of the tree's trunk.

The moment Ye Xiao pulled out the Red Crystal, the dazzling luster of the tree disappeared and the ancient tree went through a tremendous change, transforming from an ancient tree into an ordinary tree.

On the other hand, after Ye Xiao pulled out the Red Crystal, the speed at which the Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture circulated inside his body increased by ten times.

Ye Xiao was surprised, and he immediately guessed that as long as he was touching the Red Crystal, his cultivation speed will increase by ten times. This was really an unexpected gift Ye Xiao obtained in this cave.

It has already been a long time since Ye Xiao came here. He did not want to waste his time here and cause the two girls to suspect him of anything. So, he kept the Red Crystal in his spatial ring and went back to the two girls' side. They were still lying unconscious on the ground.

There, he started waiting for them to wake up.

.....

On the First Floor of the Golden Tower, a dark shadow was standing in front of a water screen. The water screen was showing Ye Xiao's every move. Every step Ye Xiao has taken in the trial of the first floor was witnessed by this dark shadow.

Seeing that Ye Xiao has comprehended the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture and obtained the Red Crystal, a light flashed in its eyes which was the only visible thing in this dark space other than the water screen.

"When he entered, I immediately felt he is different. He has the aura of Chaos's Origin in his body and soul. It is as if he is born to either rule the chaos or destroy it. This is the reason I sent him to complete this trial. I wanted him to obtain the First Key, but I did not expect him to obtain the key this quickly. He had not even explored the ruin but obtained the Key."

The dark shadow muttered in a low voice. His eyes were still flashing with light. He took a deep breath and muttered again, "I only told him to explore the Lost Forest of Red Moon. The main motive was for him to obtain the key, but I did not tell him that. Now that he has already obtained the First Key, there is no need for him to continue going through the trial. It is time to end the trial!"

As he observed Ye Xiao keeping the Red Crystal in his spatial key and returning to the two girls' side, the shadow again muttered, "This might be his fate. That worm... Yes, it was that worm that accidentally led him to the First Key. Moreover, his encounter with the girls of the Primordial Mystic Race... Phew... I just hope he is the person I, my senior brother, and my junior sister are looking for. If it is not him, I don't know how long we have to wait for the destined one to appear."

Suddenly, the space rippled and another dark shadow appeared. The moment this dark shadow appeared, he said, "I just felt an incredible change of destiny and luck. According to master..."

Before he could complete his sentence, the space rippled again and another dark shadow appeared. But this time, the outline of this shadow was enough to tell people that she is a girl.

Just like the previous person, the moment she appeared, she spoke: "Senior brothers, I just felt an earth-shattering change in destiny and luck. Our master told us this will only happen when his successor-to-be will obtain any of the three Keys. Has someone obtained one?"

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to look at the water screen where Ye Xiao was sitting on the ground. Not far away, Ning Xiang and Qin Xingling were lying unconscious.

The first Dark Shadow pointed at Ye Xiao and said, "His name is Ye Xiao. He is only eight years old. He obtained the First Key!"

The other two Dark Shadows looked at Ye Xiao with shining eyes. Although their face could not be seen, the shine in their eyes alone was enough to tell people how excited they were.

The girl said, "Finally, after waiting for billions of years, someone has finally appeared who could walk on the path of our master, the first person ever to rule the Chaos. And this person... If he could obtain all three keys, it would guarantee that he is the one our master told us about. He is the one to walk down the path our master once walked and unify the Chaos. He is the only one with the potential to become the King of Chaos!"

The other two nodded their heads. They all were looking at Ye Xiao with many emotions in their eyes.

Suddenly, the second shadow shook his head and said, "We still could not say for sure if he is the one. You should know, according to our master, the one who could walk the path our master once walked must have a destiny with the Flower of Chaos. We have been searching for this flower for countless years now but we failed to find it. Even our master failed to find the Flower of Chaos in his lifetime, and this was the only reason he failed to in doing what he wanted. Although he was First King to rule the entire Chaos, he still failed."

"Even if he obtained all three keys and become the successor of our master, the First King, he will also fail to do what our master wants if he could not obtain the Flower of Chaos."

The other two shadows nodded their heads in agreement after hearing the second shadow's words.

The girl shadow again spoke: "We have been testing people for billions of years now. There have been many people who obtained one key. But none of them were able to obtain the two keys, let alone all three keys. That Red Moon Temple Master is an example. He was also the one to obtain one key, but he failed to obtain the second one. After his death, we used his temple's ruin to create a trial ground where another tester could obtain the First Key after comprehending the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture."

"I only hope this child is the destined one. Otherwise, no one knows how long we will have to wait!"

The first shadow thought of something and said with excitement, "I think he might really is the one."

"Why do you think so?" The second shadow asked with a frown.

"It is because he has the aura of Chaos' Origin on his body. You should know that our master obtained a few strands of Origin of Chaos after becoming the First King. Even so, he has to go through a life-threatening adventure to obtain just a few strands of Chaos' Origin."

"But this child, he is only eight years old, but he has the aura of Chaos' Origin on his body. I don't know where he obtained Chaos' Origin, but since he already has it, it is very likely he is the destined one!"
