Chapter 16 Ch : Rare And Legendary Flame Sources
While everyone was facing a difficult situation at the bottom of the hole, Ye Xiao was carefully observing them. He was also looking for a way to open the gate, unfortunately, even with the Eyes of Insight, he could not find a way at all.
In fact, he could feel that this black gate is very special, but his own strength was not high enough to see through the gate with his Eyes of Insight.
Ye Xiao believed that he could break the mystery of the black gate easily as long as he go through the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation and stepped into the Chaos Dust Realm.
But there was still time for him to do that.
He could only try his best to utilize the power of Eyes of Insight and try to see through the mystery of the gate so that he could open it even if others can't.
However, was this so easy?
The answer is no.
Ye Xiao was too weak to truly use the power of his Eyes of Insight to see through the essence of Black Gate. There came a time yet again when Ye Xiao felt if he kept using the Eyes of Insight on the black gate, his eyes will again bleed. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑜𝑟𝘨
Thus, he stopped using the Eyes of Insight and started thinking of previous events that took place in the garden, from the very start till now. He wanted to find the answer to how to open the black gate from previous events. He at least wanted to find one clue.
But even after a long time, there was no clue at all.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Ye Xiao was disappointed, he suddenly thought of the Universe Essence Flame.
Maybe, the answer is the Universe Essence Flame. This flame might be able to open the black gate.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiao was unable to make use of this flame, for it was sealed inside his universe. And his universe was sealed by the Lotus of Chaos.
As for the Lotus of Chaos, it seemed to have gone into a deep sleep. It was responding to Ye Xiao from the moment Ye Xiao was born. He tried many times to communicate with the Lotus of Chaos, however, he received no response.
Anyway, this was not important for the time being. The important thing was to open the black gate so that everyone could enter the tomb and he could go to take a look at the black gate and find the reason why Universe Essence Flame reacted to this gate.
"Maybe, I could try using other types of flame sources to open the gate!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and then intended to tell this to the people below.
But he was stopped by the elders of the Ye Family as soon as he get close to the hole.
These people were ordered by Ye Molong to not let anyone enter the hole, and Ye Xiao was no exception.
"Xiaolong, what are doing? Come back here!"
When Ye Lihua, Ye Xiao's mother, saw his action, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Xiao's shoulder, stopping his "rush" action.
Ye Xiao sighed and shook his head. He knew if he does not explain, he will not be allowed to get closer to the hole.
But...
What if he told Ye Lihua to tell everyone in the hole about his idea?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao's eyes immediately lit up and he asked his mother for help.
Ye Lihua was surprised when she heard Ye Xiao's request. She could not understand how Ye Xiao knew the situation at the bottom of the hole, but when she thought about how Ye Xiao was able to see through the invisible formations and disguised Living Flowers as well as the gate underground, she did not suspect anything.
Maybe, this was also because of the Blessings of Morning Star.
Well, this was Ye Xiao's advantage.
If there is anything he could not explain, the blame will directly go to the blessings of Morning Stars. And from then on, he would have nothing to do with that matter.
Ye Lihua did not doubt Ye Xiao and got closer to the hole, only to be stopped by those elders again. But when she explained her purpose, the elders of the Ye Family no longer tried to stop her.
They were all very powerful people. Although they did not enter the hole, they could feel the presence of everyone at the bottom of the hole. And this presence was there for more than an hour already. It clearly means there was a hurdle that no one could cross.
And if Ye Lihua's advice could help everyone cross the hurdle, then what is there to even think about?
And just like that, Ye Lihua got permission to jump into the hole.
Ye Lihua nodded and jumped inside, only to be stared at by everyone coldly. Ye Lihua could feel the cold gazes of everyone and she knew why everyone was reacting this way.
They have clearly forbidden anyone from jumping into the hole, but Ye Lihua did this. By doing this, she also disrespected the leaders of five overlord forces and Formation God Tower.
Nevertheless, she was still the daughter-in-law of Illusionary Spirit Gate so no one said anything and only coldly looked at her. At the same time, they showed their dissatisfied expression to Ling Wei Long and Ling Cheng.
"Lihua, why are you here?" Ling Wei Long frowned and asked. His tone was neither angry nor happy. It was very difficult to tell what he was thinking and feeling in his heart currently.
But Ye Lihua did not care about this problem at all. She did not doubt Ye Xiao because, from his birth, Ye Xiao has shown and done a few things that are not normal. So, she could not ignore Ye Xiao's words of advice.
Seeing so many dissatisfied faces and hearing Ling Wei Long's question, Ye Lihua immediately stated why she was there, and this again shocked everyone.
Ye Xiao was clearly standing outside but he was able to see their situation, this was quite shocking.
But this is not the problem in their current situation.
Hearing Ye Lihua's words and looking at the Gate of the Tomb, Formation God Tower's two old men's eyes lit up. They looked at each other and understood what is on their minds.
Nodding his head, President Gu spoke: "Maybe, what Lady Ye is saying is true."
And with that, he started his explanation. He said, "This is the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor, and Green Flame Emperor was known for his abilities in formation and the Spiritual Green Flame. In fact, his title, Green Flame, came from his ability to manipulate and put the Spiritual Green Flame into use. Flames are closely related to Green Flame Emperor, and maybe, the key to open this black gate is also a Flame."
"Why don't we try it?"
Hearing President Gu's words, everyone found this explanation legit. They immediately nodded their heads and directly looked at the Leader of Star Fire Hall.
Star Fire Hall was known for their flame-type abilities. The core cultivation techniques and combat skills of Star Fire Hall were all flame-type. Moreover, the Leader of Star Fire Hall was also in possession of a very powerful Flame called Dark Battle Flame.
In the entirety of Chaos, there are hundreds of thousands of types of flames. However, among these flames, there are only a thousand flames that are ranked in the list of Rare Flames and there are only a hundred flames ranked in the list of Legendary Flames.
Spiritual Green Flame was ranked 70th in the list of Legendary Flames while Dark Battle Flame was ranked one in the list of Rare Flames.
Although nowhere near, it was still a fact that Dark Battle Flame was number one among all rare Flame Sources out there in the Infinite Chaos. And among the hundreds of thousands of Flame Sources, it was ranked 101.
It could be seen how powerful this flame was.
And knowing this fact, it was obvious the people present at the bottom of the hole will look at the Leader of Star Fire Hall.
"Ok, I'll try and see if my flame could open this gate or not. But before that..." As the Leader of Star Fire Hall spoke, he looked at Ling Cheng and Ling Wei Long and continued: "You have to send Lady Ye away. According to the agreement, she should not be here. However, since she came in order to give out a solution, we will not say anything. But she still can't enter the tomb with us. She has to go!"
Ye Lihua did not show any displeasure on her face. She already knew that she will not be permitted to enter. So, before Ling Wei Long or Ling Cheng could say anything, she herself nodded her head and spoke, "Don't worry, Senior. I'll leave immediately!"
And with that, she bowed to everyone before she flew up and came out of the hole.
And now that she was gone, the Leader of Star Fire Hall was ready to use his Dark Battle Flame to see if he could open the strange Black Gate or not
