King Of Chaos

Four hours after everyone left the garden, Ye Xiao took advantage of the opportunity when no one was paying attention to him, he teleported away and appeared right in front of the Black Gate.

Just like others from before, the moment Ye Xiao arrived in front of the Black Gate, he felt the strangeness of this gate as well as the rise of temperature that was directly affecting his soul.

Ye Xiao ignored the sensation and started observing the Black Gate carefully. Now that he was standing right in front of the Black Gate, he could feel the increase in the restlessness of Universe Essence Flame. The Universe Essence Flame showed a great desire to devour the Black Gate.

No, its desire seemed to be for something hidden in the Black Gate.

Ye Xiao immediately understood that there must be something very special and precious hidden in this door which caused his Universe Essence Flame to react in such a way and show such a great desire to devour.

"This gate must be a treasure, but what exactly is it hiding inside?" Ye Xiao muttered as he continued to observe the black gate.

Time started passing but Ye Xiao did not discover anything. However, as time passed, Ye Xiao could feel the temperature of his soul was becoming hotter and hotter. He understood that it will not be long before he'll start feeling a burning sensation in his soul. He has to do something quickly, otherwise, his soul will definitely be harmed by the strangeness of this gate and suffer heavily.

Previously, Ye Xiao clearly saw how this gate was opened. But he could not do that, for he was not here to open the gate in the first place. He was also not interested in exploring this tomb. He just wanted to solve the mystery of this Black Gate.

As time passed and Ye Xiao was unable to find any clue, he decided to extirpate the Black Gate out of the wall and keep it with him for the time being. When his universe will be unsealed, he will give the gate to his Universe Essence Flame to devour.

He thought, with his strength, he should at least be able to pull out the Black Gate of its fixed position.

Unfortunately, the reality was not always what people hope it to be.

Ye Xiao's intention of pulling the Black Gate out failed. No matter how hard he tried, he still failed.

"Why? Is my strength not enough?" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart but has no answer.

"If I can't pull you out, then I shall devour you!"

As Ye Xiao spoke, he immediately used his devouring ability to devour the gate, only to fail again. Because of his low strength, his devouring ability was too weak to devour the gate.

Ye Xiao was now troubled. He has no idea what is inside the black gate, but he was sure that it is definitely a treasure.

A treasure was right in front of him but he was too weak to obtain this treasure. What should he do?

"Looks like I need to increase my strength before I could do something about this gate." Ye Xiao muttered and sighed. Then he again disappeared and reappeared in front of his mother, and asked: "Mother, do you have any treasure that could help me raise my cultivation and might even assist me going through the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation?"

Ye Lihua was surprised when Ye Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her and asked for a treasure. But thinking about Ye Xiao's marvelous abilities, a smile appeared on her face. Then she thought of something and replied: "We do have a lot of treasures, but all these treasures are in the Ling Family. The treasures with me currently are high-leveled treasures that could not be used by you. One has to have at least Chaos Spirit Realm cultivation base to use these treasures."

Ye Xiao was disappointed. But then he thought of his devouring abilities. He was confident that he could definitely devour the treasures and their energy to assist in his cultivation, but this was Chaos, he could not guarantee anything bad might happen to him or not. Thus, he chose not to take the risk.

Then again, what should he do? He has to increase his strength while he is still in the Ye Family. Once he returns to the Illusionary Spirit Gate, who knows how long it will take him to again visit the Ye Family? At the same time, he could not guarantee that the Tomb will still be there.

After all, even in the Heavens, there were some tombs and ruins that will crumble down and be destroyed upon the completion of their exploration. This was very normal. This might happen with the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor as well.

Thus, Ye Xiao did not want to return to the Illusionary Spirit Gate empty-handed.

Just as he was disappointed, Ye Lihua again spoke: "Although we can find many such treasures in the Ye Family as well, without your Grandpa's permission, we can't take those treasures."

Ye Xiao understood this very well. Ye Molong was the head of the Ye Family, and the treasury of the Ye Family could only be accessed by him. Without Ye Molong's permission, no one could use the treasury of the Ye Family unless in a very critical and dire situation.

"But there is a place in the Ye Family where you might get a treasure that could at least assist you to go through the First out of Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformations." Ye Lihua stopped for a few seconds before speaking again. And then she observed Ye Xiao's expression that suddenly brighten up.

Listening to what Ye Lihua said, Ye Xiao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Where? Where is that place and what is the treasure you are talking about?"

Laughing lightly when seeing Ye Xiao's impatient behavior, Ye Lihua spoke: "That place is called the Golden Tower. The Golden Tower is a treasure passed down by an unknown person to the Ye Family when the Ye Family helped that person by saving his life. There are a total of nine floors in this tower, each floor representing one realm of cultivation. A Foundation Building Cultivator could normally only go up to the First Floor of Golden Tower, and even if they pass the trial of the first floor, they could not pass the trial of the second floor. The trial of the second floor is difficult for even the Third Cycle of Chaotic Transformation cultivator to pass."

"If you could pass the trial of the First Floor, you will obtain a treasure called Origin Spirit Grass. This treasure could easily help you to raise your cultivation to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building. At the same time, it could also assist you to go through the First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation."

"And if you could pass the trial of Second Floor, you will receive a treasure called the Skyheart Honey. This treasure could help you break through to the Chaos Dust Realm."

Ye Xiao's eyes started brightening the more he heard. This Golden Tower was really a treasure. No matter what, Ye Xiao has to go to the Golden Tower and climb its floors. As for passing the trials, Ye Xiao was not worried. He even has the confidence to pass the trial on the Second Floor.

On the other hand. after telling Ye Xiao about the Golden Tower, Ye Lihua closely observed Ye Xiao's expressions. The more she looked at Ye Xiao, the more satisfied she became.

This was her son.

She could feel the excitement in Ye Xiao's heart, and it was also her wish to see Ye Xiao climbing the Golden Tower.

When she was still in the Ye Family, she also climbed the Golden Tower with her cultivation base at the Chaos Spirit Realm. In the end, among the nine floors of the tower, she was only able to climb to the Fifth Floor. She failed the trial on the Fifth Floor and was teleported out.

She wanted to see how far her son can go.

"Mother, can you please bring me to the Golden Tower?" Ye Xiao hurriedly asked in excitement.

"Of course, I can!" Ye Lihua nodded and brought Ye Xiao to a huge golden tower that seemed to be touching the sky. This was clearly an illusion given to the people standing outside by the tower. In reality, this tower only had nine floors and it was not that high that it could touch the sky.

Bringing Ye Xiao to the Golden Tower, Ye Lihua spoke: "This is the Golden Tower. You could try and see how far you could climb in this tower."

"Let me tell you one more thing. A person could only enter the Golden Tower two times in their lifetime. Only the master of the tower could enter as many times as they want. If you choose to enter now, you will be left with only one more chance."
