Five Years later…
Ye Xiao was now eight years old. The treasury of the Illusionary Spirit Gate opened for him when he turned three years. From then on, whenever he wanted, whatever resources he wanted, he would use them to increase his strength.
In just short five years, Ye Xiao’s strength rose from the Third Realm of Foundation Building to the Eighth Realm of Foundation Building.
When Ye Xiao was still in the Heavens, it took him thousands of years to become a Fake Divine God Realm martial artist from Heavenly Divine Lord Realm. Fake Divine God Realm is equivalent to the Eighth Realm of Foundation Building.
But here, in chaos, with enough resources in hand, Ye Xiao only took five years to achieve this step.
In fact, Ye Xiao could have become a Foundation Building Eighth Realm warrior a year or two ago. But after increasing his strength to a certain extent, he had to stop cultivating for some time because his body was still that of a child’s body and could not continuously go through the process of cultivation.
There is another reason, that is, a person of Source Universe has the support of their Inner World to store, refine, circulate, and use energy. However, in Chaos, there was no such thing as an inner world. A person born in chaos has to absorb and store energy in the pores of their body. They have no dantian or anything like that.
This is also the reason why a person that has risen from a Source Universe is said to be stronger than a person born in Chaos with the same realm of cultivation base.
Anyway, Ye Xiao’s speed of advancement was undoubtedly too fast. Maybe, it is also because he was born with a great talent.
The bloodline of the Ling Family was not to be lightly taken. The Ling Family has produced countless geniuses over the years and Only then did they manage to seize the seat of Leader of the Illusionary Spirit Gate. Otherwise, how could it be that easy for generations of the Ling Family’s head to lead the Illusionary Spirit Gate without being harmed by the three other powerful families, the Xu, Zhu, and Lu Families?
On this day, Ye Xiao was brought out of the Illusionary Spirit Gate for the first time. He followed his parents and grandparents to the Ye Family.
The Illusionary Spirit Gate is located on an island called Glorious Spirit Island. Although it is called an island, its area was even larger than an empire. There were many forests, mountains, rivers, and cities on this island. They all were under the complete jurisdiction of the Illusionary Spirit Gate and were protected by it.
As for the place Glorious Spirit Island was located, it was called Cloudy Star Region.
The Land of Morning Stars was very big, almost equivalent to the combination of two or three huge worlds. But it only had five known regions that controlled the entire Land of Morning Stars.
The Cloudy Star Region was one of the five regions, and it was also the biggest and richest region in terms of available resources.
Other than the Cloudy Star Region, the other four regions were Red Sky Region, Sky Thunder Region, Blood Sea Region, and Star Forest Region. 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭
There were five overlord-leveled forces in the Cloudy Star Region. They are Illusionary Spirit Gate, Star Fire Hall, East Rising Sect, Heavenly Joy Palace, and the Ye Family.
Among these five overlord-leveled forces, the Illusionary Spirit Gate was obviously the strongest, and Ye Family was the weakest.
No matter how powerful a family is, in the end, it is still just a single family. How could it have been ranked among overlord-leveled forces?
The Ye Family would have long been destroyed by other overlord-leveled forces.
The reason why the Ye Family was counted as one of the overlord-leveled forces and was not disturbed by any other force was not only because of their own strength, it is also because of their relationship with the Illusionary Spirit Gate.
The Ye Family was located in the southern part of the Cloudy Star Region. They were the leading force in a city as big as an empire called the Green Flame City.
The Ye Family used to be the home of Ye Xiao’s mother Ye Lihua and grandmother Ye Moling before their marriage.
And today, after living eight years in this world, Ye Xiao was visiting the Ye Family for the first time.
…..
_Green Flame City, Ye Family_
“Xiaolong is here!”
“Come to grandpa!”
Above the Ye Family, a huge ship with a pair of huge wings landed in an open land inside the Ye Family.
As Ye Xiao and others came out of the ship, they were all welcomed by the people of the Ye Family waiting for them.
The moment Ye Xiao came out, he immediately heard Ye Molong’s voice and an irritated expression appeared on his face. This old man behave like a child whenever he saw Ye Xiao in the past eight years. He seems to be too free as the head of the Ye Family and occasionally comes to visit him in the Illusionary Spirit Gate.
Ye Molong was completely unaware of Ye Xiao’s emotions. He did not wait for Ye Xiao to walk to him, instead, he appeared in front of Ye Xiao with a flash, grabbed him by his shoulders, and raised him high in the air before hugging him in his arms tightly.
Ye Xiao could only sigh helplessly and let the old man do as he wished. Ye Molong was too strong for Ye Xiao to retaliate.
Ye Molong played with Ye Xiao as he led everyone inside the family.
It seems that Ye Xiao’s parents and grandparents didn’t come here just on a whim, there seemed to be a serious matter they needed to talk about. That’s why, after playing with Ye Xiao for a while, Ye Molong called someone and told him to bring Ye Xiao to the garden to play.
And after that, they started discussing the serious matter.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao was brought to a beautiful garden where thousands of different flowers were blooming. These flowers were being showered by the sunlight and the soft blow of wind made them seem as if they were giggling and playing.
No, wait…
These flowers really seemed to be laughing and playing. Ye Xiao had never seen anything like that.
“These are…?” Ye Xiao looked at the middle-aged man who brought him here and asked.
The middle-aged man was very respectful to Ye Xiao. He smiled and spoke: “These flowers are called Living Flowers. These flowers were already here even before the establishment of the Ye Family millions of years ago.”
“It is said that these flowers are hiding the secret path that leads to the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor. When Green Flame Emperor was alive, he was obsessed with Living Flowers. And before his death, he built a tomb for himself. It is said that only Living Flowers knows where that tomb is hidden.”
“Green Flame Emperor was also the reason why this city is called the Green Flame City.”
“Ye Family decided to build their home at this place because they wanted to somehow tame these Living Flowers and make them tell where the tomb of Green Flame Emperor is hidden. It is a pity that even though millions of years have passed, no one has the slightest bit of clue about the tomb of the Green Flame Emperor.”
Although the middle-aged man has no idea if Ye Xiao could understand his explanation or not, but he still told Ye Xiao everything he knew.
When Ye Xiao heard his words, he nodded silently. He has no idea who the Green Flame Emperor was, so he gave no extra reaction other than just nodding.
He silently looked at the Living Flowers and stepped toward them.
“Young Master, don’t go there…”
When the middle-aged man saw this, he wanted to stop Ye Xiao, but he was surprised to see Ye Xiao freezing on his spot suddenly, as if he was stunned.
This was Ye Xiao’s reaction because as he stepped towards the Living Flowers, the Universe Essence Flame inside his universe reacted suddenly and wanted to jump out.
However, Ye Xiao’s universe was currently sealed by the Lotus of Chaos and Ye Xiao has no access to his own universe. So, he could not control the Universe Essence Flame as well.
The Universe Essence Flame is something created by the Flower of Chaos for Ye Xiao when he was facing his final enemy after just stepping out of the Heavens. This flame is completely white in color and could devour Chaos Energy to grow stronger. At the same time, it could burn everything and corrode those things that it can’t burn. It was a very unique flame available exclusively for Ye Xiao.
After all, this flame was created by the Lotus of Chaos.
