Everyone was waiting for Ling Xiaolong to reveal the answer--the second condition to transcend the limit and become a King of Chaos. Furthermore, they were more curious about how Ling Xiaolong became a King of Chaos despite not fulfilling the second condition.
Ling Xiaolong did not hide anything. He took a deep breath and explained, "As I spoke previously, the first condition for becoming a King of Chaos is to have the understanding of at least one of the 36 Supreme Chaos Rules, which I fulfilled very easily. The condition I failed to satisfy was having a profound comprehension of my soul to a certain depth."
"The soul?"
Queen and Bai Lushi raised their brows in surprise. They did not expect having a profound comprehension of the soul to be the second requirement.
Ling Xiaolong failed to meet the second requirement, then he should have failed.
"Then... How?"
Not only Queen and Bai Lushi but even the Tree of Chaos was puzzled as to how Ling Xiaolong skipped the second requirement and directly became a King of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong smiled and provided no further detail. He did not plan to tell them that he was able to skip the second condition only because of the evolution of the Lotus of Chaos and comprehension of the nine Absolute Rules of the Infinite Expanse of void and darkness beyond Chaos.
The Absolute Rules are not laws for Chaos; they are the governing laws that reign over the Infinite Expanse of Darkness beyond countless Cosmic Fields such as Chaos.
Shaking his head, Ling Xiaolong made an excuse, saying, "Even I don't know how. As far as I can guess, this might have something to do with the evolution of Lotus of Chaos. Also, I might have become the King of Chaos, but it doesn't mean skipping the second condition is a good thing. I feel incomplete. If I want to become complete, I have to comprehend the profoundness of souls first in order to understand my own soul to a certain depth."
Everyone nodded their heads. Indeed, since there are conditions, those conditions have to be fulfilled no matter what. Skipping them is not an option.
Yes, there are always exceptions like Ling Xiaolong, but they are in the minority. The appearance of such a person is so rare one might not appear in an entire Cosmic Field.
Who knows how two of them appeared in the Abyss?
But Ling Xiaolong has a guess in his heart. Their appearance might be connected to the Tree of Abyss and the fact that they devour the Source of a Cosmic Field.
Yes, it must be related to the Source of Cosmic Fields.
"So... What are you planning to do now?" Bai Lushi asked curiously.
Ling Xiaolong thought for a bit and answered, "I'm planning to visit the Tower of Wisdom. Only that tower could let me understand the profoundness of souls."
The Tower of Wisdom...
Legend says that the Tower of Wisdom has a total of 99 floors. Every floor has a unique painting carved on the wall. Every painting tells a different story and hides a unique skill. It is said that a warrior could obtain the method to break past the limit of Chaos and become a King of Chaos as long as they could understand the stories every painting has to say and comprehend all the skills they hide.
The legend is not false.
Ling Xiaolong, who witnessed the past with his own eyes and even obtained the key to the hidden 100th floor, knows better than anyone that the Tower of Wisdom could indeed help a warrior become the King of Chaos. It is because warriors could increase their understanding of souls from the 51st floor.
Having a profound understanding of one's soul is the second condition for becoming a King of Chaos!
In short, the Tower of Wisdom can indeed provide a method, a way, although incomplete, to transcend the limit of Chaos.
However, Queen and Bai Lushi don't know this. In their eyes, it is just a legend, no one can say for sure whether the legend is true or not.
It was at this time that the Tree of Chaos, in her spirit form, appeared before the three of them and spoke in a deep voice, "Indeed, the Tower of Wisdom might be able to let you comprehend the profoundness of soul."
Ling Xiaolong suddenly thought of something as he heard the Tree of Chaos. His eyes sparked and he hurriedly asked, "As far as I was able to investigate about the Tower of Wisdom, it seems to have been left behind by an era that appeared even before the Forgotten Era. Can you tell me who the creator of the Tower of Wisdom actually is!"
Ling Xiaolong had always thought that the Tower of Wisdom might have been naturally born or was created by a Spiritas.
Since it is a treasure of Chaos, the Tree of Chaos must know how it appeared or who the creator of this tower was.
Indeed, the Tree of Chaos did not disappoint him. She does seem to know something. For a moment, she appeared to have been lost in some kind of memory hidden deep within her heart.
Sighing, she said something that shocked everyone. She said, "To be honest, even I don't know who the creator of this Tower is either."
"What?" x3.
Before anyone could inquire further, the Tree of Chaos extended her hand and elucidated, "This Tower appeared beyond the Cosmic Membrane of Chaos during the second era of Chaos. It was brought by three creatures who were also the ancestors of Spiritas."
Everyone was astonished. They did not expect Spiritas to be a race from outside the Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong's eyes flickered a little.
Why does this setting sound very familiar?
'Heavenly Demons!'
He suddenly remembered the Heavenly Demons.
When he was living in the Heavens as Ye Xiao, he learned that Heavenly Demons were not creatures born in the Heavens but came outside the Heavens. The ancestor of Heavenly Demons entered the Heavens while escaping from his enemies. Heavenly Demons were a race born in the incomplete Chaos created by him.
Just like the Heavenly Demons, the Spiritas Race turned out to be a race born outside the Chaos. Maybe, they were born in another Cosmic Field similar to Chaos.
Everyone wanted to know more. The Tree of Chaos did not hide anything. She continued to explain, "When they arrived, they seemed to know of my existence. Standing before the Cosmic Membrane, they requested my appearance and then told me that they came from a cosmic field called Spiritarium."
Spiritarium!
A bell rang in Ling Xiaolong's mind. This was not the first time he had heard this name. The first time he heard the word 'Spiritarium' was from the Abyssal King's mouth.
According to the Abyssals, Spiritarium is a Cosmic Field unlike any other Cosmic Field. It is very unique in itself because the creatures of Spiritarium do not cultivate any kind of energy, they cultivate their souls and Soul Force.
"Those three Spiritas requested to let them enter the Chaos. According to them, they were able to escape from the Spiritarium with the help of the Tower of Wisdom. The Tower of Wisdom used to be an artifact at the level of Mid-Grade Ethereal Guardian rank. However, forcefully piercing out of the Cosmic Membrane of the Spiritarium damaged this artifact. The Tower of Wisdom has 100 floors in total. The 100th floor is only available for the true master of the Tower of Wisdom. As for the 99 floors below the 100th floor, they can let a person understand the profoundness of souls. However, because the Tower of Wisdom is damaged, the profoundness hidden within the first 50 floors has long since disappeared. Although people can comprehend a few skills, those skills have nothing to do with souls because of the lost profoundness. In reality, people can only comprehend skills based on their natural attributes."
"After some thought, I let those three Spiritas enter Chaos only on one condition. The condition was for them to become true creatures of my Chaos."
"Because they could not return to Spiritarium and had nowhere to go, they agreed to my condition. I used my authority within Chaos to remove every trace of connection between those three Spiritas and Spiritarium. Finally, I transformed them into the creatures of Chaos. Just like that, a new race was born within Chaos. They were Spiritas Race."
"I believe you can truly understand the Profoundness of Souls in the Tower of Wisdom. You should go there."
The Spirit of the Tree of Chaos disappeared within the tree right after explaining everything about the Tower of Wisdom, but this revelation gave a fright to their hearts. Even Ling Xiaolong was unable to calm down for the next few seconds.
No one spoke anything after that. Everyone fell into deep thought.
After a while, Ling Xiaolong said, "I shall get going!"
Queen and Bai Lushi nodded. Ling Xiaolong needs to understand the profoundness of souls. It is important for him.
As for them, they were not in a hurry.
"See you later!"
Ling Xiaolong smiled at them and disappeared.
