Ye Xiao looked at the reincarnation lake below while taking a deep breath and took a few steps forward tentatively. He found that the lake was not moving at all. Just like 37 years ago, there was no reaction from the lake.
But he has already experienced the might of this lake. It actually trapped him in the cycle of reincarnation where he lived thousands of lives. Every time he died, he reincarnated, and this process continued until the Divine Nascent Soul woke him up.
No matter what, he definitely doesn’t want to experience everything once again.
Ye Xiao started walking toward the other side of the bridge cautiously. He was paying close attention to the lake of reincarnation.
Not long after, he crossed the bridge and a spatial fluctuation appeared that suddenly changed the scene in front of Ye Xiao.
This time, Ye Xiao found himself standing in a big hall. Opposite him, three figures were sitting on thrones. He knew two of them. They were obviously Pygon and Yuan Shi De, the creator of First Trial.
As for the third one, Ye Xiao had already guessed who might this person be. This person must be the creator of the Second Trial.
“Congratulations on passing the Second Trial!” Pygon smiled at Ye Xiao and nodded his head.
Ye Xiao also nodded in response. Then he greeted Yuan Shi De, saying: “Senior, we meet again!”
“Yes, we meet again!” Yuan Shi De smiled and replied.
Then Ye Xiao shifted his gaze and looked at the third person who stood up from his throne. Following him, Yuan Shi De and Pygon also stood up.
“I think you must have already guessed my identity!” Yuan Shan De said as he looked at Ye Xiao deeply. It was as if he had noticed something and wanted to see something in Ye Xiao, the light in his eyes was profound and his gaze was piercing. This made Ye Xiao uncomfortable but he didn’t back down or shifted his gaze elsewhere. He kept looking directly into the eyes of Yuan Shan De before nodding his head.
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, the old man said: “Yes, as you have already guessed, I’m the creator of the Second Trial, Yuan Shan De. I’m one of the six people who didn’t die in the great war but were severally injured. Three of us sacrificed our bodies to create a trial for the person who can obtain the inheritance of my Primordial Race, become a Primordial, and help us bring the Primordial Race in return.”
“The other three people went into a deep slumber.” Saying till here, Yuan Shan De pointed at Pygon and continued his story: “You also know Pygon. He is the guardian of my Primordial Race. You had met his clone in the First Trial. The one you are seeing here is also one of his clones. His true body is in the homeland of my Primordial Race where the other three people are in deep slumber. He is currently protecting them and hiding their existence from the world.”
“You might be wondering why I’m telling you all these things, right?”
Ye Xiao nodded his head. Actually, he was not really thinking about why Yuan Shan De was telling him all these things. This thought didn’t even cross his mind. But now that Yuan Shan De raised this question, then there might be some reason. To know Yuan Shan De’s true intention, Ye Xiao nodded his head in response.
Yuan Shan De said: “I’m telling you this because you have to take your final trial in the homeland of my Primordial Race. You’ll have to go there if you want to obtain the physique of a primordial.”
“As I told you before, three of us sacrificed our body and cultivation in order to create trials to find a worthy person. You are the one to even pass the Second Trial. It also means you are the first person who’ll take the third trial which is also the final one. The return of my Primordial Race now depends on you. We three people only have our souls left now. You can also awaken the other three people after passing the Third Trial.”
Yuan Shan De stopped talking and raised his head, seeming to be looking at the sky. But of course, there was no sky inside the palace.
After a short period of silence, Yuan Shan De again said: “To be honest, U was really surprised when you suddenly came back to realization and woke up in the third test of my trial. According to my calculation, you should have taken about 500 years before breaking the cycle of reincarnation. However, you surprisingly woke up a lot of years before our estimated time. This also means your potential is great and we have not found the wrong person. It is no wonder why the Second Universe chose you to become its inheritor!”
When Ye Xiao heard the word “Second Universe”, his face stiffened for a second before returning to normal. He didn’t really want to have much to do with the Second Universe now. In fact, he wants to break all his connections with it, but he can only do that after completely cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
Only when he could bring back all Nine Ancestral Dragons could he choose to not cultivate and break all his connections with the Second Universe.
Well, there is his own selfishness also behind his continuation of cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
Domineering God Crystal had told him before that he could help him keep one ability from each ancestral dragon. At that time, those abilities will truly belong to him. And at that time, it wouldn’t be said that he was able to use those abilities only because of the Nine Ancestral Dragons. It is because, after keeping one ability from each dragon, he could choose to separate from not only the Second Universe but also the Nine Ancestral Dragons.
Well, now that he thought about the Second Universe and Nine Ancestral Dragons, he suddenly remembered Queen. He has something he wants to ask Queen but now is not the time. He’ll ask later.
For now, he once again focused his attention on Yuan Shan De who took out something with a wave of his hand and threw it at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao hurriedly raised his hand and caught it. When he looked at the object he caught hold of, he was surprised.
“This is?”
Ye Xiao looked at a hexagonal-shaped crystal in his hand. This crystal seemed to have an ordinary layer of transparent jade. What was attractive about this crystal was the exquisite pattern carved inside. Looking at the pattern, Ye Xiao found it very similar to the Mark of Primordial on the forehead of every person of the Primordial Race.
He had seen the birth of the Primordial Race and had also seen their members. How could he not recognize this pattern?
Yuan Shan De looked at the shocked face of Ye Xiao and nodded his head in satisfaction. He then stroked his white beard and said: “This is the Mark of Primordial. It is your reward for passing the Second Test. You can fuse with the Mark of Primordial by touching it on your forehead and trying to communicate with it using your soul force.”
“Remember, without the Mark of Primordial, you won’t be able to obtain the Primordial Body that is exclusive to the people of my Primordial Race. After obtaining the Primordial Body, you can become a member of the Primordial Race. At that time, you will no longer be just a Human. You can change forms between a Human and a Primordial.”
“Although we are the same on the surface, there are many differences between us. You’ll know after obtaining the Primordial Body.”
“Mark of Primordial is essential for every Primordial Being. Without the Mark of Primordial, a person will lose his identity as a Primordial Being and will transform into a normal human. That person will also lose the Primordial Race. After all, as I said before, Primordial Body is exclusive to only the people of Primordial Race, and the same goes for the Mark of Primordial.”
“After fusing with the Mark of Primordial, you’ll have to obtain the Primordial Body within a hundred years of time. Otherwise, the Mark of Primordial will disappear and you will lose the opportunity to become a person of Primordial Race.”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath as he looked at the hexagonal-shaped crystal in his hand.
When he was going through the First Trail in the Well of Hell, he really wanted to become a member of the Primordial Race. It is because a person of Primordial Race has many things that a human doesn’t have.
Well, becoming a person of Primordial Race doesn’t mean losing one’s identity as a human. In fact, he can change his form between a Primordial and a Human whenever he wants.
