Ye Xiao did not think much when he heard the red-robed man’s earlier words about the ninth person, however, he could not help but raise his brows in shock when he heard the later parts.
A girl who is not a human or belongs to any other race, but could manipulate plants.
Isn’t that Queen?
Ye Xiao’s eyes shone with bright light and he wanted to say something but stopped. It is because he saw the red-robed man opening his mouth to speak again.
“Because she did not belong to any race I have ever seen or heard about, I did not allow her to through tests my master left behind. My master had told me to forbid anyone suspicious from going through the test and obtaining something he had left behind.”
Ye Xiao scowled and think that the red-robed man did not play fair. Just because she did not belong to any race, she was forbidden from going through a test and obtaining something that once belonged to a King of Chaos. No wonder she became angry enough to destroy a node of this Myriad Plane Dimensions.
But then again, when Ye Xiao thought about it, he could not help but marvel. Just how powerful Queen has become?
When she left the Heavens, she was just a mere Divine God Realm warrior, however, she has now become an Origin Fusion Sovereign. Moreover, an extremely powerful one.
According to the red-robed man, destroying the node of the Myriad Plane Mountains is almost impossible for any Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior, however, Queen was able to do so. She is indeed a unique individual with unique abilities. Heavens have given birth to a very strange creature.
Now that he thought about it, Ye Xiao was again shocked. It is because everything he had experienced from the moment of his birth till now was connected. it was planned by someone.
Could it be that Queen is also a part of this plan?
After all, he was accompanied by Queen in his journey from the very start, and ultimately left the boundary of the Heavens along with Queen. And now, he was learning about Queen here again.
It has to be known that Chaos is extremely vast and boundless. After separating, it is very possible to never learn about a friend or family. But Ye Xiao was now learning about Queen again.
And there is also Lin Hao. He knows Lin Hao from the very start of his journey as well. Moreover, Lin Hao could be said to be his rival in the Heavens for a certain period of time. Lin Hao also played an important role when fighting for the Heavens against the Chaos Beasts and Ancient Devils brought by Supreme Ancient Devils.
And now, Lin Hao just happened to come to the Land of Morning Stars. And he also just happened to send Lin Hao to the Illusory Spirit Gate.
Now that Ye Xiao thinks about it, believing that it is just a coincidence would be his stupidity. It seems not only everything was planned by that unknown existence, but even his every decision also seemed to fall under that existence’s calculation.
‘Just what is that existence planning? Why me?’
Ye Xiao could not help but mutter in his heart out of curiosity. He really wanted to know about that existence more, but he knew the Lotus of Chao is not going to tell him anything for the time being.
…..
“Ling Xiaolong, after failing nine times in these billions of years, I really hope that you can pass the test.” The red-clothed man suddenly said.
Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Senior, how can I pass the test?”
“It’s very simple. Your first test is to defeat me.” The red-clothed man said.
“What?” Ye Xiao was slightly stunned. He did not expect the first test to be defeating the red-clothed man.
How was this possible? ．
Although Ye Xiao didn’t know about it, he could clearly feel that the red-clothed man in front of him was extremely powerful. He could also feel that even with the Power of the Universe, he will not be able to defeat this man.
Since that is the case, how could he possibly succeed?
The red-clothed man seemed to guess what Ye Xiao was thinking and explained, “Don’t worry, I won’t use my full strength. I will only compress my strength to the same level as you. In terms of realm and strength, I won’t be able to take advantage of you. However, my understanding of Rules of Chaos is stronger than yours. Moreover, I have also the support of Profound Truth of Rules, though I would not be using it in the battle against you. Also, my sword is much faster and sharper. In all aspects… I can easily crush you.”
After Ye Xiao heard this, he brilliant smile appeared on his face.
If it was any other person, then this test would indeed have been too difficult to the point of being somewhat abnormal.
However, to Ye Xiao, no matter who it is, as long as they have the same cultivation base as him, he was confident in defeating them all.
Of course, he would not have been this confident if the red-clothed man would have chosen to use his understanding of Profound Truth as well. At that time, the story would have been different and he would have been smiling bitterly in his heart.
But of course, Ye Xiao did not plan to defeat the red-clothes man immediately. He would play according to the situation. After going through so many betrayals, he had learned one thing and that is not to completely trust anyone.
So, he could not afford to show his full potential and strength to the red-clothed man, mainly when he knows he is far weaker than the opponent in reality.
Nodding his head, Ye Xiao asked again, “Senior, may I ask what kind of condition you need to meet in order to pass your test? If I know what the conditions are, at least I have a clear goal in my heart.”
The red-clothed man smiled: “Ling Xiaolong, you are quite smart. You know to ask this. Not bad, you have a clear goal. This way, your heart will not scatter during the test and this is still very important. Since you asked, I’ll tell you. Actually, if you want to defeat me, it is quite simple. The test that my Master left behind is not to test a person’s strength, it is to test a person’s potential.”
“Let us change the tests for now. I’ll give you ten years. In these ten years, become a Major Saint Realm warrior. Normally, doing so might take hundreds or even thousands of years. However, if you were to swallow the Mystic Ink Fruits, you could easily reach the Great Saint Realm in ten years. And unlike before, try to comprehend the Rules of Chaos as well instead of just focusing on increasing and replenishing your life force and vitality.”
“As long as you could become a Great Saint in ten years, you could be considered passing the first test.”
“After that, we will fight. It will be your second test. As long as you can defeat me, I can let you pass the second test. I have already lowered this condition a lot for you. Take this opportunity well but not for granted.”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xiao was surprised. He did not expect the red-clothed man to keep an eye on him from the moment he stepped foot in the forest. But then he nodded his head in understanding. After all, this man was the guardian of Myriad Plane Dimensions. He must know what is happening everywhere in these dimensions connecting tens of thousands of secret realms.
He also knew that the red-clothed man is right. Normally, it would indeed take even him almost a hundred years to become a Great Saint. However, with a treasure in hand, it is a different story.
Although he has already reached the Late Stage of the Minor Saint Realm, he was not at its peak. Moreover, he is also not cultivating any cultivation technique to speed up his cultivation.
Well, now that the danger of the Demon Emperor has already been solved, he could continue cultivating the Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra. He immediately planned what he has to do. He will first cultivate the Absolute Darkness Emperor Sutra and then see how the situation goes. According to the situation, if needed, he will swallow the Mystic Ink Fruits as well.
“I understand!”
Ye Xiao nodded and agreed with the red-clothed man.
“Good.”
The red-clothed man nodded his head in satisfaction after Ye Xiao agreed. He then waved his hand, gesturing that Ye Xiao could start cultivating.
At the same time, he started thinking about how many years he spent guarding this Myriad Plane Dimensions.
It has been too long. Staying in one place for billions of years without being able to cultivate and improve strength is very difficult. If not for his master who asked him to guard the Myriad Plane Dimensions, he would have left this dimension long ago.
He looked at Ye Xiao and sighed in his heart. There have been nine people before Ye Xiao, and truth be told, the red-clothed man was not much optimistic about him.
