“That should not have happened. His soul was too pure, how could he betray us like this?” Qin Xiaoling still could believe that Ye Xiao ran away with a fruit.
“No matter how pure his soul might be, in the end, he is still a human. In front of great benefit, how could a human not be selfish?” Ning Xiang said while fuming in anger. She completely forgot that she was also being selfish when she wanted to obtain all two fruits without giving Ye Xiao one.
Of course, she wanted to give Ye Xiao something else in exchange for the Million Heart Fruit, but it still does not defy her selfishness.
…..
Ye Xiao was shocked to discover his surrounding suddenly changing. This happened in an instant before he could even give the Million Star Heart Fruit to Ning Xiang.
The surrounding changed to extreme darkness where he could not even see his own arm clearly.
But this darkness was familiar to Ye Xiao.
“The First Floor of Golden Tower?” Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice.
“Correct!”
Suddenly, a voice sounded and in the next instant, the darkness on the First Floor completely disappeared, revealing a very ordinary floor where there was nothing. But Ye Xiao has a feeling that the scene before his eyes was nothing more than an illusion. It was his gut feeling. He also knew that as long as he activate the Eyes of Insight, he might be able to see through the illusion, but in return, he would have to suffer even more than what he suffered when trying to see through the Black Gate at the entrance of the Green Flame Emperor’s Tomb.
So, he did not dare to give it a try.
Ye Xiao also noticed at this moment that he has returned to his eight-year-old self.
He turned, only to see a dark shadow. Ye Xiao knew this shadow was the one that sent him to complete the trial.
“Is the trial over?” Ye Xiao asked in confusion. He had yet to complete the task given to him. He had not even explored the ruin completely, let alone the entire Lost Forest of Red Moon. Most importantly, he wanted to obtain the inheritance of Red Moon Master, but he failed since he was called back by this dark shadow.
“Yes, it is over!” The shadow nodded his head and revealed his true face as darkness slowly left his body.
This was a man who seemed to be about thirty years old. But who knows what his age might be in reality?
This man was handsome on a completely different level. He was wearing black robes, completely stimulating with his domineering aura. His eyes were dark blue in color and three red lines went down from his left eyebrow to half of his cheek.
Ye Xiao was shocked greatly. Although this man was standing right in front of him, Ye Xiao could not feel his existence at all. It was as if this young man was not here at all.
Ye Xiao also could not tell what this man’s cultivation is. It seems his cultivation far surpasses his imagination. He had a feeling that his grandfather, the said one of the strongest people in the Land of Morning Stars, could not even withstand the strength of this man’s single finger.
Ye Xiao simply could not fathom the strength of this man.
But, since he had some doubts, he still asked, “Why? I have yet to complete the trial or admit defeat. Why did it end so suddenly?”
“It is because you already completed the hidden task that was also the main task by accident.” The man replied with a smile.
“What does that mean?” Ye Xiao could not understand what the man mean.
The man smiled and spoke: “The reason why I gave you this trial was to see if you could obtain the First Key or not. Initially, it would have taken you a lot of time to first explore the entire ruin before finding the cave and then obtaining the First Key. However, because of a worm’s interference, you were able to obtain the First Key earlier.”
“I would have ended your trial exactly at that time, however, since Red Moon Master had left behind something for the one who could obtain the First Key, I chose to wait a little longer.”
“A person could eat only one Million Star Heart Fruin in their lifetime. This is the reason why I let you give one to those girls while bringing you immediately back when you still have one left!”
As the man said, his figure flashed and he appeared right in front of Ye Xiao. His eyes glowed blue and he said: “Kid, let me teach you a lesson that you should always remember. When it comes to something that could benefit you a lot, just be selfish. There is no need to comply with others, mainly when you have no idea if you could really obtain one such thing in the future or not. Giving a treasure to others and waiting to obtain it again in the future by depending on luck is the greatest stupidity a person could ever do. And you actually did that. I really don’t know whether to laugh or simply beat you up.”
“Everything is alright, but this act of yours is really not in-line with the person who is supposed to be walking on the path of First King once walked.”
First King?
Who is he?
Ye Xiao was puzzled but he did not say anything.
No matter what, this person was right, Ye Xiao should have been a little bit selfish out there. He should have tried to reason with Ning Xiang and told her that they should divide the fruits fifty-fifty. He will keep one and she could keep one.
But he did not do that. He did not say anything when Ning Xiang told him that he should not fight with her for the Million Star Heart Fruits.
Anyway, because of the man’s interference, he got to keep one Million Star Heart Fruit. This was the second greatest benefit he could have received through the trial.
“It is still not clear if he is the one supposed to be walking on our master’s path yet!”
At this moment, another voice sounded. An extremely beautiful lady appeared right beside the man out of nowhere.
Unlike the man, she had a small horn growing out on her forehead instead of three red lines. She had golden red hair and red eyes. Moreover, that fiery aura around her body made Ye Xiao feel as if he was standing in front of the Origin of all flames. He felt he would be burnt alive with just a wish of this lady without even being able to resist.
There was no innocence in her eyes, instead, there was cruelty and ruthlessness. She was looking at Ye Xiao as if she was looking at an enemy. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Junior sister is right. It is still not clear if he really is the one to walk on our master’s path. Don’t forget, there have been thousands of people throughout the ages to obtain one out of three keys, but no one was able to obtain the second key. All of them failed without any exception. Although he does have traces of the Origin of Chaos’s aura in his soul, it still could not prove that he is the one we have been looking for all this while!”
At this moment, another person appeared on the other side of the first man.
Unlike the previous two, this man looked human. He has no feature that does not resemble that of a human. Most importantly, he also had a terrifying and overbearing energy fluctuation around his body. It was as if he was suppressing his own strength and aura with great difficulty. If there is slightest of the mistake, space would collapse and the world will be destroyed.
Of course, there was no world here. It was just a feeling the third man gave to Ye Xiao.
The first man shook his head and smiled. He did not say anything to his Senior Brother and Junior Sister.
He simply looked at Ye Xiao and introduced: “Let us officially start our introduction!”
As he said, he pointed at his brother and spoke: “This is my senior brother, Yu Feng. He is a human just like you. He was born with the blessing of a Land that made it possible for my senior brother to control blood completely. Even if there is a single drop of blood on the ground after my senior brother is killed, he can come back to life. Most importantly, he has Golden War Body. He is from one of the six most powerful families in Chaos that are controlling six Forbidden Domains of Chaos.”
Seeing the confused expression on Ye Xiao’s face, he continued: “Even if you try to understand, you won’t be able to understand anything I am speaking. It is because you are not only too weak but your knowledge and information about Chaos is also very low, not even 1%.”
