1095 Secrets of the Chaos
The Chaos, which had been calm for 500 years, was in turmoil again. Although it did not happen in the open, undercurrents were surging, and rumors filled the air. Almost everyone knew about it.

“Have you heard? Hallowed Lord Lin Feng seems unable to comprehend the Supreme Rule.”

“That’s right. It’s been 500 years, but the Hallowed Lord still has not become a Hallowed Venerable. It’s indeed a little incredulous.”

“There are patterns to past competitions for the Chaotic Origin Stone. Normally, after studying the Chaotic Origin Stone for a hundred years, one can basically become a Hallowed Venerable. This was the case for all of the first seven Hallowed Venerables.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Even Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, who took the longest, only needed 113 years after obtaining the Chaotic Origin Stone. In the end, he completely comprehended the Supreme Rule and became a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.”

“How important is the position of Hallowed Venerable? It concerns the Chaotic Origin. If the Hallowed Lord cannot comprehend the Supreme Rule even in 500 years, he should hand over the Chaotic Origin Stone, and let it choose its true master.”

“That’s right. If fate allowed the Chaotic Origin Stone to appear, it means that the eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable has already appeared. He should hand over the Chaotic Origin Stone and let the true eighth Hallowed Venerable take his place.”

The rumors grew more and more intense. Even people in the Mutual Assistance Alliance were feeling doubts.

Lin Feng had been focused in the Hallowed Lord’s residence, but he was not deaf or blind. How could he not know?

“Mani,” Lin Feng opened his eyes and said slowly.

“Hallowed Lord, what are your orders?”

Ancestor Mani stood respectfully in front of Lin Feng. Ever since he was subjugated by Lin Feng, Ancestor Mani had also consciously humbled himself, as if he was really an old servant. Who would have thought that he was a top-notch Perfected Deity, older than the seven Chaotic Hallowed Venerables?

“Do you know the rumors outside?”

“Hallowed Lord, I know.”

“Then what do you think?”

Ancestor Mani pondered for a moment. Having accompanied Lin Feng for 500 years, he had a rough understanding of Lin Feng’s temperament. Lin Feng seemed kind, but he adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offended him.

The Chaotic Origin Stone belonged to Lin Feng. If Lin Feng did not give it away, he would not allow others to snatch it.

At this thought, Ancestor Mani said, “Those rumors outside are just self-indulgent. Regardless of whether the Hallowed Lord can comprehend the Supreme Rule, the Chaotic Origin Stone is in the Hallowed Lord’s possession. Who can snatch it? If the Hallowed Lord doesn’t give it to them, they can’t take it!”

Lin Feng was a little surprised, so he said with a smile, “Haha, Mani, you’ve really figured out my temper. That’s right, if I don’t give it to them, they can’t snatch it either. However, the Chaotic Origin Stone doesn’t just contain the Supreme Rule. There’s more to it. It’s time to visit Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile. Come with me.”

Ancestor Mani’s heart skipped a beat. Lin Feng was actually going to visit the Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. Even Ancestor Mani could not figure out the meaning behind this. However, he was only an old servant now, and did not dare to ask. He could only leave and make preparations.

Soon, Lin Feng brought Ancestor Mani to visit Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile.
Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile’s concierge did not dare to delay the visit of the Hallowed Lord. He went straight to the Hallowed Venerable to report. Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile naturally agreed readily and asked Lin Feng to pay a visit.

Lin Feng left Ancestor Mani behind and went to visit Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile alone.

“Greetings, Hallowed Venerable!”

Lin Feng also bowed.

“Hallowed Lord, there’s no need for formalities. Please take a seat.”

This was a quiet secret chamber. Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile’s attitude was amiable, and his expression was calm. He did not seem surprised to see Lin Feng, and did not put on the airs of a Hallowed Venerable.

In reality, as the Hallowed Lord, Lin Feng was also very famous now. Even the Chaotic Hallowed Venerables no longer viewed Hallowed Lord Lin Feng as an “ant”.

Rather, they had to receive him properly.

Lin Feng was not very close to Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, but nor did he feel any disdain.

From Lin Feng’s perspective, the seven Hallowed Venerables were great and powerful, and pragmatic above all else. Back then, when Lin Feng risked his life on the battlefield and repelled those devils, he had exposed the Chaotic Origin Stone.

Although the Hallowed Venerables did not interfere, he tacitly approved their disciples or family to come to fight for the Chaotic Origin Stone. They even bestowed some Chaotic supreme treasures. All of this was considered indirectly interfering with the matter of the Chaotic Origin Stone.

However, Lin Feng knew that there was no such thing as good or evil to it, nor was there right or wrong to it. There were only benefits. As for befriending a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable? That was impossible.

Everyone below a Hallowed Venerable was insignificant. A Hallowed Venerable could sometimes even leave his own disciple in the lurch.

Hallowed Venerable Styx, who could hunt down a Chaotic hallowed beast for a disciple, was ultimately the exception and not the rule.

These Chaotic Hallowed Venerables were high and mighty, and were transcendent. They had even become a part of the Chaotic Origin, and had very few desires. As long as something did not threaten their status, they would remain removed from worldly affairs, and would not intervene at all.

However, the Chaotic Origin Stone was different. Lin Feng knew very well that if he kept the Chaotic Origin Stone to himself, but could not become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable, these Chaotic Hallowed Venerables would definitely intervene.

In order to avoid these Chaotic Hallowed Venerables interfering and putting himself in a passive state, Lin Feng might as well take the initiative to visit Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile.

“Hallowed Venerable, I believe you have also heard of some rumors in the outside world.”

Lin Feng went straight to the point.

“That’s right. I do know a little about them. Hallowed Lord, what do you mean to say?”

“Although those rumors in the outside world are self-inflicted, they’re not groundless. In the past 500 years, I’ve tried to comprehend the Supreme Rule, but I’ve indeed not achieved anything.”

Lin Feng’s ambiguous words did not make Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile suspicious.

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile hesitated for a moment. In the end, he frowned and said, “If what the Hallowed Lord said is true, I’m afraid the Supreme Rule in the Chaotic Origin Stone is not compatible with the Hallowed Lord. Then, you will not be able to become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. This is truly regrettable for the Chaos!”

Actually, Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile also had some guesses, but Lin Feng’s personal admission still caught him off guard.

“Hallowed Venerable, may I know what secrets this Chaotic Origin Stone contains? When I studied the Supreme Rule in the Chaotic Origin Stone, I kept feeling that the Chaotic Supreme Rule is incomplete.”

This was Lin Feng’s true purpose for coming today.

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile looked at Lin Feng. As the only Hallowed Lord in the Chaos, and with the Chaotic Origin Stone, he was indeed qualified to know these secrets.

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile then said, “This is the greatest secret of the Chaos. Actually, all the Chaotic Hallowed Venerables know about it. There are a total of nine Chaotic Origin Stones, which contain nine Supreme Rules. By controlling a Supreme Rule, one can link their perfected spirit to the Chaos, and become a great and powerful Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. As long as the Chaos still stands, Hallowed Venerables will be undying and indestructible!

“Only eight Chaotic Origin Stones have appeared now. The ninth will definitely appear in the future. The Hallowed Venerable is actually already predestined. The bloody battles fought by these Chaotic Perfected Deities are completely futile. Even if they obtain the Chaotic Origin Stone, if they’re not meant to be the Hallowed Venerable, they won’t be able to comprehend the Supreme Rule. Hence, Hallowed Venerables like us would not interfere with the matter of the Chaotic Origin Stone.

“Once the nine Chaotic Hallowed Venerables take their positions, Chaos will be completely consummate. The Principles are incomplete. In fact, as Chaotic Hallowed Venerables, we are the avatars who fill the gaps in the Chaos and complete the Principles. Our success and failure as Hallowed Venerables are dependent on the Chaos. Although we are undying and indestructible, we cannot control ourselves, and will never be able to leave the Chaos.”

This was the greatest secret of the Chaos. Lin Feng was the only Hallowed Lord in the Chaos, and he possessed the Chaotic Origin Stone. Otherwise, Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile would not have revealed such a shocking secret at all.
