Chaos Overlord Saint Realm, Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm, Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm, Mystic Sovereign Realm, and Chaos Sovereign Realm.
These are the new cultivation realms Ye Xiao heard.
It has to be known that the Land of Morning Stars could only support a Great Saint Realm warrior, not even a Heavenly Saint which is also a part of the Chaos Spirit Saint Realm.
Ye Xiao accepted the fact that the Land of Morning Stars is far weaker than he had previously thought it to be. But this doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, he will definitely leave the Land of Morning Stars.
And anyway, it won’t be long before he becomes a Minor Saint. All he needs to do is to raise his cultivation to the Peak of Chaos Spirit Realm.
For now, he focused on Fang Yun’s explanation.
“A warrior becomes a King of Chaos after surpassing the Chaos Sovereign Realm and opening all Hidden Gates of Celestials in their body!”
“In other words, Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials are something that gives birth to a King who rules the Chaos.”
“Every era could only give birth to one King. And every King has to switch places after the birth of a new King.”
“In the infinite Chaos, there are many Kings hidden currently, watching the Chaos silently from the shadows, keeping the Chaos safe and sound from the dangers that exist on the other side of the End of Void.”
Ye Xiao was shocked again. He learned many new things, but Fang Yun’s last sentence was still the most shocking thing he heard till now.
Dangers that exist on the other side of the End of Void!
This was not the first time he heard of the End of Void. He recalled Yu Rong telling him that the First King of Chaos created the Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture and hidden them in three divine pillars that are located at the End of Void.
Every Divine Pillar holds a Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture, and every layer could make a warrior go through three transformations. So as the name of the scripture says, after completely cultivating the Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture, a martial warrior could go through a total of nine transformations. And every transformation brings a great change in a warrior’s body.
And Yu Rong even brought his consciousness to the End of Void where the three Divine Pillars were hidden. Only a conscious body of a warrior who has obtained a “Key” could enter that place at the End of Void and comprehend the First, Second, or the Third Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture.
Ye Xiao obtained the First Key and learned the First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture when he was going through the trial of the First Floor of the Golden Pagoda. But he comprehended this First Layer of Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture at the End of Void, in front of the Divine Pillars.
If the End of Void is really that dangerous that requires Kings of various eras to fight the invaders from beyond the End of Void, why did the First King of Chaos create the Nine Revolution Chaos Scripture and hid them in that godforsaken location in the first place?
Many questions immediately appeared in Ye Xiao’s mind.
He also understood that the matters related to the First King of Chaos are very complicated, not to mention it also involves his five disciples.
Among the five disciples, Ye Xiao has only met Yu Rong, Yu Han, and Yu Fang. And aside from them, he also met Yu Tian who was imprisoned in a Forbidden Land by his own master.
There was only one disciple Ye Xiao has yet to meet, and he hoped to grow incredibly strong before meeting that person.
What is more important, there are beings who exist on the other side of the End of Void.
No matter how Ye Xiao thing, he could not understand.
It has to be known that the Void covers the entire Chaos. As long as there is Chaos, there is a void filled with berserk Chaos Energy.
Could it be that the other side of the End of Void represents beyond the Chaos?
Is there another vast starry sky beyond the Chaos just like how Chaos exists beyond a Source Universe?
Ye Xiao felt his head becoming heavy. He really could not make a thing out of this matter. Is that really true?
Ye Xiao wanted to ask Fang Yun but waited for Fang Yun to finish explaining first.
“Even I have only heard about the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials from my father. According to my father, these Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials are the Gate of View, Gate of Opening, Gate of Limit, Gate of Healing, Gate of Wonder, Gate of Pain, Gate of Life, and Gate of Death.”
“As for what exactly these Hidden Gates of Celestial mean and represents, I have no idea. Anyway, I’m too weak currently to think about Hidden Gates of Celestials. I have yet to even become a Heavenly Saint. Tsk!”
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. He also memorized all Eight Hidden Gates of Celestial in his heart.
Fang Yun’s last sentence surprised Ye Xiao, he could not help but ask, “Don’t tell me you are a Great Saint?”
“I am!” Fang Yun chuckled and enjoyed as he observed Ye Xiao’s shocked expression.
Ye Xiao did not expect this Fang Yun to be so strong. It is no wonder why his cultivation suddenly rose from the Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation to the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm in just an instant. It is not because Fang Yun was using a secret technique, but because he released the suppression over his cultivation base slightly.
Now that Fang Yun was already done with the explanation, Ye Xiao could not help but ask, “You mentioned invaders from the other side of the End of Void. What does the other side mean? Could it be that there is a vast sky beyond Chaos?”
Fang Yun was stunned when he heard this question. He revealed a thoughtful expression before shaking his head and saying, “I have no idea. To be honest, I have never even thought this way of this matter. But now that I think about it, that might be the case. Or maybe, that is not.”
“I once asked my father about the End of Void, but he told me to first become a Mystic Sovereign, and only then will he explain everything about the End of Void to me. I guess, I have to wait till then to get an answer.”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and suppressed the curiosity in his heart. He knew some things will be automatically revealed when the time comes. There is no need to become anxious when he is still too weak to even travel across the Land of Morning Stars.
Not being able to confirm whether there is a sky beyond Chaos is true or not did cause Ye Xiao’s heart to become slightly restless, but he knew this will not benefit him at all.
There is a saying that curiosity kills a cat.
He did not want to be a cat.
Without strength, even if he gets to know the answer, there is nothing he could do.
However, with strength, even if he doesn’t know the answer, the answer will reveal itself in front of him.
So, his first priority is to increase his own strength.
He was about to agree to enter the passage Fang Yun pointed to when he suddenly thought of something and again asked, “You said that Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials requires one to be opened in the body after surpassing the Chaos Sovereign Realm. Then what do these eight passageways represent?”
Fang Yun smiled and explained, “Yes, you are right. But there have been countless experts researching the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials throughout history.”
“It is said that a genius Divine Formation God managed to create a Divine Formation by replicating 50% attributes of the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials into that formation. But he died soon after because he had broken the Rules of Chaos, and the Will of Chaos punished that Divine Formation God by killing him.” ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
“However, that was the moment when that Divine Formation also appeared in Chaos. That Divine Formation was named Eight Hidden Gates Divine Formation.”
“Countless Formation Gods including Divine Formation Gods started studying the Eight Hidden Gates Divine Formation and by replicating the attributes of that formation, they created a much weaker version of Eight Hidden Gate Divine Formation, but these weaker versions are no longer divine.”
“These eight passages in front of us are obviously created by using a weaker version of Eight Hidden Gate Formation. Those words on top of every passageway represent a Hidden Gate. The passageway I chose represents the Hidden Gate of Life.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. His curiosity increased and he muttered in a low voice, “Who exactly is the person to leave behind this relic and even create these eight passageways using the weaker version of Eight Hidden Gate Formation?”
