Saying Ye Xiao is not shocked to learn everything the previous King of Chaos told him would be wrong. He could already guess a few things, but knowing that the disappearance of a King of Chaos could cause a hidden war amongst all Chaos Sovereign Saints was really astonishing.
Ye Xiao could not even guess just how many warriors and beasts stop cultivating after becoming a Chaos Sovereign and an Exalted One.
The previous King of Chaos did not stop. He continued to explain to Ye Xiao. He told Ye Xiao that many Chaos Sovereigns die due to a single mistake they make during the opening of Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials. However, their death doesn't imdiately cause the collapse of their soul.
After he ascended to the position of King, the previous King of Chaos gathered all the souls of those Supre Experts that were on the verge of collapsing and asked them to leave behind their inheritances that includes their combat skills, cultivation techniques, and even experiences of entire lifeti.
Because all the Supre Experts knew they were going to die, they did not refuse the idea of letting soone inherit and succeeding them.
The previous King of Chaos then spent hundreds of millions of years creating this Mysterious Hall with thousands of ancient runic pillars, every pillar housing an entire lifeti's worth of refined mories of a Supre Expert.
The purpose of the Mysterious Hall was simple, it is to find suitable people and let them absorb those mories. Each person could only absorb mories from one pillar.
Knowing all this, Ye Xiao ca to a conclusion.
First of all, the mories from these ancient runic pillars are definitely not the treasure the Lotus of Chaos talked about. Since that is the case, the blurry figure of the previous King of Chaos has yet to tell him his true purpose.
Second, if he could, sohow, beco the master of this hall, doesn't it an he could nurture thousands of Supre Experts in the future?
"So, tell , would you like to absorb the mories of a supre expert from one of these pillars?"
The distant voice of the previous King of Chaos echoed in the Mysterious Hall, pulling out Ye Xiao back to his senses.
Should he absorb the mories of a Supre Expert?
If it was a few years ago, Ye Xiao would have agreed imdiately. However, after going through many betrayals and learning about the existence of soone who is controlling his life from the very start, making him walk down a path created especially for Ye Xiao by him, Ye Xiao learned to not trust anyone.
Although the previous King of Chaos was talking about refined mories, he could not put out a chance that these mories might have so sort of trap that could turn him into a puppet or cause mories of Supre Experts of the past to dominate him, giving birth to awareness and finally seizing his body. In a way, this was what the Demon Emperor was trying to do.
And so, Ye Xiao rejected the offer put forth by the previous King of Chaos, saying, "No, I won't!"
"Ok, then you could... What?"
The blurry figure of the previous King of Chaos had obviously not expected Ye Xiao to reject him. He was surprised when he realized Ye Xiao has done what no one would have chosen to do.
Ye Xiao smiled, speaking, "I said I won't absorb the mories of a Supre Expert!"
"Why?" The previous King of Chaos could not understand the reason behind Ye Xiao's rejection. He wanted to know why Ye Xiao does not want to obtain sothing that countless people would die for having.
Ye Xiao shook his head and explained, "I don't want to walk on the path of soone else, I want to create my own path. If I absorb the mories of a Supre Expert of the past, no matter how refined the mories are, the experiences inside these mories will definitely affect in many ways, and I might end up following the path walked by that Supre Expert. I don't to be affected by anything in the slightest, I don't want to be influenced by anything or anyone. Then be it if I have to lose an opportunity countless people would fight for, I am willing!"
I am willing!
These three words are easy to understand, but their aning varies with different content.
Ye Xiao's speech and finally these three words caused the body of the blurry figure to tremble. It was as if he suddenly rembered sothing, as if was reminiscent of so event. He no longer spoke for a very long ti.
Ye Xiao was also silent and interpreted his own words. After he spoke, when he thought about his own spoken words, he could not help but take a deep breath. A flash of determination lit up in his eyes and his heart beco firr. It was at this mont he knew he made the right choice.
"I Am Willing!"
The previous King of Chaos muttered and a big smile appeared on his blurry face. He nodded and looked at Ye Xiao with warmth and satisfaction. He then asked Ye Xiao, "You are worthy for to rember your na. Tell , what is your na?"
Ye Xiao was stunned at first and then realized that he has not yet introduced his na. With an embarrassed smile, Ye Xiao spoke, "My na is Ling Xiaolong!"
"Ling Xiaolong, a good na!" The blurry figure of the previous King of Chaos muttered and then spoke loudly, "I will rember your na, Ling Xiaolong. You are very good, and the second person to impress !"
Second person?
Again!
Ye Xiao frowned. Why is it that he is the second person to enter this mysterious hall and also the second person to impress the previous King of Chaos?
But the previous King of Chaos has lived for countless years. How could he not co in contact with a few people who could leave a very good impression on him?
Ye Xiao could not help but ask, "Can you tell , who that first is? Is it the sa person who entered this space before ?"
"The first person... She was very strange. I have never seen soone like her in my entire life, or ever heard of her before. Her na is Zhiwu Nuwang, but she liked to call herself Queen."
"However, unlike you, she chose to absorb mories of Supre Experts!"
Queen?
Ye Xiao was stunned. He did not expect to hear her na again, and more so not in this place.
Didn't the red-robed man tell Ye Xiao that he forbid Queen from participating in the trial because of her unknown race?
Didn't he tell Ye Xiao that she was furious because of the unfair rejection and in her anger, she destroyed a node of the Myriad Plane Dinsions?
How could Queen appear in this place if she was rejected and restricted from taking the test?
Ye Xiao could not understand. Moreover, there was sothing else that caught his attention.
"mories of Supre Experts?" Ye Xiao muttered.
The previous King of Chaos just said that Queen absorbed the mories of Supre Experts. He did not say only one Supre Expert, but Supre Experts. it ans she absorbed the mories of multiple supre experts!
As if knowing what Ye Xiao was thinking, the previous King of Chaos spoke, "This is what gave a deep impression of her. Just like you, I told her to absorb mories of any Supre Expert from one of these pillars. However, she was not satisfied. She asked if she could absorb mories of multiple experts."
"Just like you, I told her that absorbing multiple experts' mories will bring more harm to her than benefit. She might be affected by those mories. However, she told that nothing like that would happen to her. She said she is unique and nothing in Chaos could affect her mind, body, or soul."
"I still rejected her request. Nevertheless, as she said, she was unique. She sat in front of one of the pillars and started absorbing mories from that pillar. Even I did not notice when, but extrely thin, thread-like vines ca out of her body and wrapped around multiple pillars. It was only when a total of nine pillars crumbled that I noticed what she had done."
As he spoke, the blurry figure pointed at nine crumbled pillars in one direction.
Ye Xiao looked over and saw there were really nine crumbled pillars. He was just shocked to learn that even the previous King of Chaos was unable to sense when Queen had taken action.
"Then... Did you punish her for not listening to your words? Did sothing happen to her? Was she affected by those mories or not?"
Ye Xiao asked multiple questions at once.
He could hear the previous King of Chaos sighing. The blurry figure then spoke, "No, she was not affected by those mories in the slightest. As for punishing her, I didn't. She was special, very special. And she was the first person ever to show guts to go against my words."
"And as I said, you are the second!"
