Ye Xiao did not hesitate at all and said directly, “In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. I think you should have already investigated me by now. I’m looking for all kinds of books, including but not limited to combat skills and cultivation techniques, to read. Since I am already here, I want to enter the Hao Family’s library to read books. What do you say?”
As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, the expressions of everyone from the Hao Family in the living room changed abruptly.
“What? Enter our library?”
“No, absolutely not. The Hao Family spent 100,000 years collecting them. How can we pass them to outsiders?”
“Those books are the Hao Family’s foundation. Even elders like us have never read all of them, let alone outsiders. We absolutely cannot allow it.”
The reactions of the many elders were very strong and very normal. The combat skills and cultivation techniques in the library were the ultimate foundation of the Hao Family. How could they be easily imparted to others? Even the elders had never read all the books.
Hao Chuan pondered for a moment and said in a solemn tone, “I can not make any decision regarding this. I have to talk to the Grand Elder.”
Very soon, Hao Lufan was called again. After pondering for a moment, Hao Lufan hesitantly asked, “May I know where you came from, Young Master Ye?” 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
He did not directly answer Ye Xiao whether he will let him enter the library or not but tried to ask Ye Xiao about his backing force.
Ye Xiao also understood this very well. In fact, he could guess everything very clearly.
Anyway, Ye Xiao has to admit that the Hao Family has backed off many times now. It is mainly because of this Grand Elder, Hao Lufan.
If it was any other family and Ye Xiao had killed nine of their Peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors and kidnapped their direct descendent, they would have come at Ye Xiao with all their force to kill him.
But not only the Hao Family did not do that even though they were humiliated by Ye Xiao, but they also brought him to Crystal City and invited him to stay in the Hao Family.
Not only did they give him a lot of treasures including a drop of Origin Sea Water, but they also did not ask him a second time for the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda.
It can be said that they have tolerated him very much, and it is mainly because they were afraid of the force backing him.
Anyway, since they have already given way to him many times, he decided to be honest with them. This way, they could at least not try to stop him from entering their library.
Thus, he answered, “I came from the Illusionary Spirit Gate of the Cloudy Star Region.”
“Illusionary Spirit Gate!”
“Cloudy Star Region?”
Everyone suddenly reacted. They were shocked to hear Ye Xiao’s response. It is just that, Hao Lufan was shocked to learn Ye Xiao was from Illusionary Spirit Gate while other people of the Hao Family were astonished to learn Ye Xiao was from the Cloudy Star Region.
Maybe, because the Hao Family was a small family, and on top of that, it was located in the Star Forest Region, none of them have ever heard of an overlord force Illusionary Spirit Gate.
But somehow, Hao Lufan knew about it.
Without waiting for anyone to come back to their senses, Hao Lufan immediately put up a big smile on his mouth and said, “Young Master Ye, let’s go. I will personally lead you to the library.”
At the same time, he thought in his heart, ‘As expected, he came from a big force, and this force is actually an overlord force. If not for the notes left behind by my ancestor, I would have never known what kind of force this Illusionary Spirit Gate is.’
Hao Lufan brought Ye Xiao to the Hao family’s library and said, “There are all kinds of books in the library. You can browse through them at will. No one will disturb you.”
In front of Ye Xiao, Hao Lufan no longer had the dignified aura of a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. He looked like a servant, even more respectful than a servant.
Ye Xiao no longer hesitated. He immediately started browsing through the books in the library.
Compared to the Qi Family’s library, the Hao Family’s library was more than three times bigger. Ye Xiao could see a dazzling array of books everywhere. Moreover, every book was exquisitely arranged and hidden on the bookshelf.
Ye Xiao casually took out a book and started reading it. After he was done with one book, he would take out a second book and start browsing through it.
Perhaps all the books in this library could allow Ye Xiao to have a more direct understanding of Chaos and its rules.
Ye Xiao walked around and realized that there was a book on the last bookshelf. It was actually restricted.
This kind of restriction seemed to be something that only Chaos Spirit Realm warriors could break. In other words, this might have been left behind by the ancestor of the Hao Family, and could only be checked by descendants of the Hao Family after breaking through to become a Chaos Spirit Realm.
Ye Xiao reached out and grabbed the ancient book. With a slight flick of the Chaos Energy that he drew on the restriction using his Eyes of Insight, the restriction was instantly broken.
Ye Xiao saw a few large words appear in the ancient book. From the looks of it, they must have been personally written by the ancestor of the Hao Family.
Ye Xiao immediately opened the ancient book, and lines of faint golden words appeared.
“Since you are able to break through the restrictions, it seems like a descendant of mine has broken through to become a Chaos Spirit Realm. Thus, you are also qualified to know my whereabouts. I was not a cultivator of the Star Forest Region originally. I only came to the Star Forest Region by chance, founded the Hao Family, and left behind my bloodline. I have long become a peak Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, but it was extremely difficult for me to enter the realm of the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion. If I do not leave the tiny Crystal City, I am afraid there is no hope for me in this life!
“Therefore, when I obtained news about the appearance of a Spirit Fusion Stone by chance, I left the Crystal City resolutely. Perhaps I will never return to Crystal City. Perhaps in the future, we can meet again by fate…”
After Ye Xiao read it, these golden words disappeared one by one. The ancient text also became blank, as if it had never appeared.
Clearly, the Hao Family’s ancestors did not want to leak any of this content.
However, Ye Xiao was astonished. Before, even he thought that the ancestor of the Hao Family who mysteriously disappeared might have died. But it turned out that he left Crystal City to look for an opportunity to become a warrior of Three Stages of Spirit Fusion.
Ye Xiao did not stop. He continued to browse through the books stored in the library and just like that, more than a week passed.
Ye Xiao found many combat skills and cultivation techniques. They were simply endless. Apart from some left behind by the ancestor of the Hao Family, there were also some that the Hao family had slowly collected over the past few hundred thousand years. Their foundation was far deeper than the Qi Family.
Among so many books, only three books attracted his attention. These three books were called The Mystic Flame Aura, The Profound Flame Sea, and The True Flame Surge.
These three books were neither combat techniques nor cultivation techniques. They could be said to be unique books, and all three books complemented each other perfectly. They could be cultivated together.
Ye Xiao did not hesitate at all and started studying the three books immediately. He first studied the principles of Mystic Flame Aura, Profound Flame Sea, and True Flame Surge in detail. Every technique had its own principles. These three books also had their own principles.
Ye Xiao suddenly remembered that he had cultivated a technique called Myriad Flame Image Technique when he was still in the Heavens, the Source Universe. This technique had many levels and each level allowed him to cultivate the double amount of Flame Clones than before.
The First Level of Myriad Flame Image Technique allowed him to create five Flame Clones and the further he cultivated, the more flame clones he could create.
Now that he thought about it, Ye Xiao decided to study all four techniques and merge them all together. If possible, he also wanted to use a bit of his Universe Essence Flame to see what the final result will be.
