Chapter 363 Ch 363: Enlightenment Bead
Previously, Ye Xiao was able to extract a few strands of Comprehensive Energy from his Comprehensive Origin Sea with the help of his ⟪Devour⟫ and ⟪Calamitic Shroud⟫.
Now that these abilities have become much stronger after his transformation, doing so another time was very easy for Ye Xiao.
He once again extracted a total of five strands of Comprehensive Energy, created a bead with the help of the Profound Truth of Creation Rule, and sealed those five strands in Comprehensive Energy in that bead.
These five strands of Comprehensive Energy were released directly from the Golden Seed which was also called Timeless Enlightenment Seed. This seed is a treasure said to be on the same level as the Tree of Chaos. It was a Treasure of Ethereal Guardian Rank.
One can imagine how marvelous just a single strand of Comprehensive Energy released from such a treasure would be!
This bead immediately became a treasure surpassing Celestial Destroyer Rank. Although it did not reach the rank of Mystery Descent Treasures, it did however become a Quasi-Mystery Descent-ranked Treasure.
Such a treasure could already be said to be the limit of this Chaos.
Although only five strands of Comprehensive Energy were sealed in that bead, its effect far surpassed the thousands of Purple Crystals Ye Xiao obtained in the past.
Taking out the Bead, Ye Xiao gave it to Chu Futian for appraisal and said, "This is an Enlightenment Bead. You can only use this bead five times in total. Every time you use it, you will enter a profound state of enlightenment and comprehend the impossible. Comprehending even the Profound Truth of a Rule will not be out of reach at that time as well. You can now estimate its value."
Chu Futian frowned as he took the Enlightenment Bead from Ye Xiao. The moment he held the bead, he could immediately feel his mind becoming unusually clear, as if all truth of the world was right in front of him. All he needed to do was use the bead and he could understand these unknown truths.
This sudden change affected Chu Futian thoroughly. He was shocked beyond belief. It was for the first time in his entire life he had felt such clearance. For a moment, he even believed that breaking through the last barrier and opening the First Hidden Gate of Celestials was not far away from him.
This all happened just by holding the Enlightenment Bead. What will happen if the bead is used?
Chu Futian could not help but suck a deep breath of air. He forcefully brought himself back to his senses and passed this treasure to the elders beside him.
Those elders had the same reaction. They were all astonished and knew a real treasure had appeared in front of them. As long as they pay a satisfactory price, this treasure will be theirs.
Everyone's eyes gleamed with greed. For a moment, they regarded Ye Xiao as if he were a treasure trove. The two treasures he had presented were unprecedented, capable of sparking a war across the entire Chaos.
How many more treasures could Ye Xiao possibly be hiding?
The question lingered in their minds, giving rise to suspicion. A silent exchange occurred among them, their eyes conveying a strange light. It seemed as though they were already devising a plan together, communicating subtly through their gazes.
Breaking the silence, Chu Futian cleared his throat and inquired, "May I ask, Sir Ling, how do you determine that this bead can only be utilized five times?"
Ye Xiao discerned the greed in everyone's eyes. Realizing that if he didn't show them their place, they might cause trouble for him. To him, these Spiritas were insignificant, akin to ants, and he had no intention of wasting time on battling these ants.
Now that Chu Futian had asked this question, he gave Ye Xiao a chance to show off and kill the greed in everyone's heart at the same time.
He smiled at them and said, "I obtained this Enlightenment Bead from an Ancient Ruin when I visited the Forbidden Land of No Return!"
"What?"
"Forbidden Land of No Return?"
"You must be lying. How can you return alive after visiting that Forbidden Land? That Land is called forbidden because it is Hell."
"..."
Several elders started questioning Ye Xiao's words.
Ye Xiao did not refute them. He kept smiling and started talking when everyone stopped. He said, "This Enlightenment Bead was sealed inside a box. There were two items inside that box. One was obviously the Enlightenment Bead. The other was a note."
"A note?" Chu Futian frowned.
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "That note was not a treasure. That note simply explained the qualities of the Enlightenment Bead and what it is capable of doing. According to that note, this Enlightenment Bead can only be used for ten times in total. I have already used it five times, so this bead can only be used five more times."
As Ye Xiao spoke, a shocking aura exploded from his body. His momentum increased to the point of shaking the entire Sky Pavilion to the core. If Ye Xiao had not stopped, the Sky Pavilion would have crumbled to pieces in that instant.
When Ye Xiao's aura rose, a monstrous pressure descended, causing everyone excluding the little girl to bleed from their mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
Everything happened in an instant. That pressure was there for an instant before disappearing as if it was never there.
However, everyone knew that it was real. The aura that burst out of Ye Xiao's body had already far surpassed something a Peak Chaos Sovereign could display.
It took everyone more than five minutes to calm down.
Spiritas Race cultivates their souls, however, it doesn't mean they do not have a physical body. It is just that their physical body is far weaker than ordinary humans.
"You... You are a Supreme Expert!"
Lord Sun pointed at Ye Xiao and spoke in a trembling voice. Then he suddenly realized that he was pointing at a Supreme Expert, so he hurriedly put his hand down.
Ye Xiao only smiled, he did not say anything. But his silence caused those people to believe that the human in front of them was really a Supreme Expert.
At that moment, they gave up the wicket idea they had before. They immediately abandoned the greed that had risen in their hearts, for they knew what was better for them. Living in poverty is much better than courting death just to get riches.
Ye Xiao's respect in everyone's heart had risen to another level.
Although the Sky Pavilion also has the support of two Supreme Experts, it is not a wise move to deploy two Supreme Experts to fight another one from another race.
If the words get out, it might become a war between two races.
After all, a Supreme Expert is supreme of their race. They can command anyone, and even their entire race to do something for them. They can make the foundation of a race strong and weak at their will.
Chu Futian took a deep breath and did not blame Ye Xiao for causing a ruckus just now. It is because he understood a fact very well that... How can the intentions of these elders beside him stay hidden from the eyes of a Supreme Expert?
Ye Xiao's previous display of strength also stated a major truth that he had used the Enlightenment Bead to increase his strength.
Everything thought that the Enlightenment Bead was the reason behind Ye Xiao's strength.
Chu Futian looked at the Enlightenment Bead and thought for a moment before speaking, "I will give a Hundred Billion Soul Crystals for this Enlightenment Bead. How about it?"
A hundred billion?
This was an astronomical amount.
However, it was still not enough to buy a treasure of Psudo-Mystery Descent Rank. If not for the limited use of the Enlightenment Bead, the price would have been even more.
Anyway, it was already an astronomical amount so Ye Xiao readily agreed.
Very soon, the transaction was completed and Ye Xiao left the Sky Pavilion.
Coming out of the Sky Pavilion, Ye Xiao was welcomed by ancient-looking structures all over the place.
This was Sacred Soul Island, the strongest and largest island in the Land of Spiritas.
Ye Xiao walked around and soon found a huge inn. He booked a room, paid ten Soul Crystals for one day, and entered the room on the topmost floor.
After entering the room, Ye Xiao disappeared. He entered his Chaos and appeared below the huge Lotus of Chaos.
There, he poured out all the Soul Crystals and muttered: "Devour!"
A huge vortex appeared above the Soul Crystals, sucking every single Soul Crystals inside.
Very soon, a waterfall of extremely pure Soul Energy poured down. This amount of Soul Energy was ten or even twenty times more than what Ye Xiao obtained by devouring Yu Tian's soul.
However, it was still nothing compared to his own Soul Force which was like an endless ocean.
Ye Xiao's Soul Strength increased a little.
Very soon, Ye Xiao came out of his Chaos and appeared inside that room again.
