Yuan Ming De couldn't help but ask: "Everyone's test in the Realm of Dreams is different. In my life, I have met a few people passing the test of Realm of Dreams. But the reward they obtained was nowhere as valuable as what you have obtained."
"Just what kind of test have you given?"
Ye Xiao raised his brows. From his words, Ye Xiao could tell that the old man knew what that triangular white token is. He could not help but ask: "Senior, could it be that you know what thing is?"
"Of course, I know!" Yuan Ming De nodded, looked at the triangular white token in his hand, pointed at it with his other hand, and spoke again: "However, it is not a 'thing', it is a valuable treasure far surpassing the value of even that green crystal. At least, that's how I see this treasure!"
"Just what is this token?" Ye Xiao's curiosity increased when he heard Yuan Ming De's words. He felt like wanting to know everything about that token as soon as possible. He could not control his heart from becoming excited and asked the old man.
After all, according to Yuan Ming De, the triangular white token's value was not something to be measured lightly at all.
"You can say this is the token of promise from Heavens itself." Yuan Ming De spoke. Then he frowned and muttered: "It is just that I could not understand why the Heavens' token of promise will be given by Realm of Dreams?"
Although Yuan Ming De muttered the later part in a low voice, it was loud enough for Ye Xiao and others present at the scene to hear.
Hearing Yuan Ming De's words, the other two old men also frowned and fell into deep thought.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao was even more confused. He asked hurriedly: "Senior, could you help me explain what that Token of Promise is all about?"
"Look at the words here. The first word is Dao!" Yuan Ming De showed the token to Ye Xiao and make him have a good look.
Then Yuan Ming De spoke: "Every world has Dao. Laws were born from Dao. It is the Dao of Heavens, the Heavenly Dao. All the Laws, rules, and Profound Meanings came from one source. Heavenly Dao."
"That is what the second word 'Source' is about. As for the third word 'protect', even I could not understand this."
"However, I'm sure about one thing. Realm of Dreams has given you a very special mission by giving you this Token of the Heavens' Promise. And as long as you complete that mission, you could make the Heavens itself do one thing for you. No matter what you want, Heavens will give it to you!"
"The Heavens will give it to me?" Ye Xiao frowned, raised his head, and asked: "Why would the Heavens do that? It has been my enemy for a very long time. Just a few hundred years ago, I escaped from death under the hands of the Emissary of Heavens. The Emissary of Heavens even made the entire Divine Realm my enemy."
"If not for my own strength and the fact that I didn't go outside that much, countless troubles would have been waiting for me. At that time, I would have to deal with all those people who come for my head."
"Since I'm Heavens' enemy, why would it give me what I want?"
Yuan Ming De shook his head. He spoke: "That I don't know as well. But I'm sure about this token. It is the token of Heavens' Promise!"
After saying that, he fell into deep thought. He knew everything about Ye Xiao from Yuan Shi De and Yuan Shan De.
Since Ye Xiao became the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl, he was already standing against the Heavens. He had already made the Heavens his enemy.
Not to mention, Ye Xiao cultivated the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and brought the Nine Ancestral Dragons back. And now, these nine ancestral dragons seemed to have turned against the Heavens itself. They were causing a ruckus recently, wanting to steal the Source of the Heavens!
What Ye Xiao said is right. Why would Heavens promise to do something for him?
However, he was sure that the white token is really the Token of Heavens' Promise.
So what if the Realm of Dreams exists between Reality and Nothingness? In the end, it is still located inside the Heavens. It is a part of the Heavens. Or maybe, it is the plan of Heavens.
Although no one knows how the Realm of Dreams comes into existence, one this is certain. Heavens must have given permission for the Realm of Dreams to exist.
Or maybe, Heavens is the one who decides what to reward people after they complete the test of the Realm of Dreams.
If that is the truth, then the Token of Promise given to Ye Xiao is definitely not a mistake.
But why would Heavens do that?
It was not only Yuan Ming De, but everyone including Ye Xiao was utterly confused.
Ye Xiao suddenly thought of something. He frowned and asked: "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, sure!" Yuan Ming De nodded.
"If I remember correctly, then it is Queen who told you guys how the Primordial Race could return once again. Right?" Ye Xiao asked.
Yuan Ming De nodded, saying: "Yes, you are right. She told us to create the Three Trials. As long as someone could pass all three trials, it would be the time Heavens will forgive us for our doings, and Heavens itself will help us return once again!"
'As expected!' Ye Xiao nodded and then asked again: "Then... About the Realm of Dreams... How did you think of making the Realm of Dreams the Third Trialground?"
Yuan Ming De didn't think too much. He spoke, "When we were creating the Trials, each one of us was separated for a time being. At that time, the Primordial Era was about to end and the Ancient Era was about to begin. It was an extremely chaotic period."
"As I was thinking of what to create for the Third Trial, maybe because of the war, a stone slab suddenly fell from the sky. There was a method to create a formation that could transport one directly to the Realm of Dreams. Thus, I thought of using the Realm of Dreams as the second test of the Third Trial."
"Why do you ask?"
Ye Xiao only nodded his head in understanding but didn't reply to anything. He seemed to have fallen into deep thought.
He suddenly seemed to have come to a conclusion, but the next moment, his expression became confused again.
It was as if he has reached the end of a path, however, upon getting there, he realized that he somehow returned to start again and had to walk on the same path again in order to reach the end.
He could not even find any sort of answer at all.
He sighed and shook his head. Then he looked at Yuan Ming De and said: "Let's talk about something else. Senior, what about my reward for passing the Third Trial!"
"You are quite impatient, huh!" Yuan Ming De shook his head and laughed. Then he looked at Yuan Shi De. Yuan Shi De nodded at him and then he looked at Pygon, saying: "Bring Ye Xiao there. He should receive his reward. And after he is done, Heavens will help us return once again!"
Pygon nodded and turn to Ye Xiao, saying: "Come with me."
And with that, he started walking toward the bamboo hut in the middle.
There were three bamboo huts, and he was being led to the middle one.
When both of them arrived in front of the hut, Ye Xiao found the gate of the hut open. But there was nothing inside, only darkness.
However, he was someone who has already comprehended 100% of Space Law. He could feel a powerful spatial fluctuation at the entrance. It seemed he would be transported to another space upon crossing the entrance of the hut.
As expected, the moment both of them stepped past the hut's entrance, Ye Xiao felt strong space energy in his surroundings and the next instant, he and Pygon appeared in a green grass field.
As far as Ye Xiao could see, there were only grasses and nothing else.
Pygon then took out something with a wave of his hand. It was a long rod glowing orange.
Then Pygon started searching for something on the ground, and after a while, when he seemed to have found whatever he was looking for, he stabbed the rod into the ground.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, the ground trembled.
Before Ye Xiao could understand what is going on, an extremely vast surge of energy burst out of the ground. At the place where the long orange rod was stabbed, the ground started crumbling.
Very soon, a huge pit with a radius of 10 meters was created.
