King Of Chaos

Chapter 24 Secret Realm

Knowing Ye Xiao was a native of the secret realm, and there were many things he needed to know so that he could help her find the ruin of Red Moon Temple without holding back anything, Su Ling started telling Ye Xiao everything about the Secret Realm.

She said: "You should be aware of the term Secret Realm, right?"

Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, she continued: "The Red Moon Secret Realm opens every thousand years in the outside world. Whenever it opens, countless geniuses enter this secret realm to obtain various treasures, but their main focus still remains to enter the ruin of Red Moon Temple and obtain the inheritance of Red Moon Master."

"Red Moon Temple used to be an overlord force in the Land of Frigid Sun millions of years ago, but for some reason, this force was destroyed overnight. It was the Temple Master of Red Moon Temple who sacrificed his entire life's worth of cultivation to create a secret realm and hide the ruin of Red Moon Temple somewhere. In order to not let the world forget about the Red Moon Temple, he also created a rule that the secret realm will open every thousand years until someone finds the Red Moon Temple and inherit the Legacy of Red Moon Master."

"This time is the same. Aside from me, thousands of geniuses of big forces in the Land of Frigid Sun entered the Secret Realm to compete for the inheritance of Red Moon Temple. But the first thing we need to do is to find the ruin of Red Moon Temple."

"The moment we stepped inside the secret realm, we were teleported to random places in the secret realm. This is also the reason why I don't know the name of this forest but know about the ruin of Red Moon Temple."

Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. Most of his doubts were solved, but there were still a few questions that he needed to find answers to.

First of all, if this place is the secret realm, then what about the Light Rain City and Green Cloud City?

And... According to Lei Guang, the city lord of Light Rain City, there are still a few more small and big cities out there aside from these two cities.

What about these places?

If this is really the secret realm, then how could these places exist? And most importantly, why the Lost Forest of Red Moon is located thousands of meters underground the Green Cloud City.

Not being able to find any answer, Ye Xiao asked Su Ling.

When she heard everything, she was shocked at first, but then she quickly made some guesses and her eyes lit up. Then she carefully observed Ye Xiao. The more she observed him, the more she became excited.

She took a deep breath and sighed: "I think everything is clear now."

"What is clear now?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion.

Su Ling smiled and spoke: "According to our masters and ancestors when the Red Moon Master created the secret realm, a large piece of land disappeared overnight. The whole piece of land must be created into the secret realm. Aside from Red Moon Master, there were a few of his subordinates that managed to survive the disasters. I think these subordinates must be the ones to create cities on that piece of land so that their future generation could survive while hiding from the eyes of their enemies."

"As for the reason why we appeared in the Lost Forest of Red Moon, it must be because of the rules of the secret realm. I think the Red Moon Master must have set up the restriction that only the Lost Forest of Red Moon could be entered and explored by the outsiders."

Ye Xiao also nodded his head in agreement. This was the most suitable explanation for the time being. This also answered Ye Xiao's many questions.

"And..."

As Su Ling spoke, she looked at Ye Xiao with shining eyes and continued to say, "I think there should be another restriction placed in this forest."

"What restriction?" Ye Xiao frowned and asked.

"You should know that people from the outside world have entered the secret realm more than a hundred times already, but they failed to find the ruin of Red Moon Temple. And now, you appeared and you claim to have entered the forest from the city above. I think the Red Moon Master must have wanted his subordinates' descendants to obtain his legacy. That's why, he must have built a restriction that affected the appearance of the ruin of Red Moon Temple. I think, only when someone from those cities above enters this place would the ruin of Red Moon Temple appear. If my theory is correct, then your appearance will definitely bring this ruin to light. You are the key to obtaining the legacy!"

The more Su Ling spoke, the more excited she became. Although it was just a guess, the probability of this guess being true was more than 80%.

Otherwise, why would the ruin of Red Moon Temple not appear even after a million years?

Ye Xiao did not expect this, but if this is true, then he might really be the key to making the ruin of Red Moon Temple appear.

But this was not what he was worried about. There were many things puzzling him.

First of all, he should be on the First Floor of the Golden Tower. The trial should be held on that floor. And if everything here is a part of the trial, why does he have a feeling that everything around him is real?

He could feel that if he died here, he would not just fail the trial, but he would really die.

At the same time, the appearance of the people of the Land of Frigid Sun caused Ye Xiao to have many thoughts in his mind.

Could it be that the person on the First Floor teleported him directly inside the secret realm that is located in the Land of Frigid Sun?

What does it truly mean to explore the Lost Forest of Red Moon?

Does this trial want him to obtain the legacy of Red Moon Master?

While thinking like this, Ye Xiao shook his head. No, the trial was for him to explore the Lost Forest of Red Moon. From exploration, it means discovering every secret that exists in this forest. As long as he could uncover every secret buried in this forest, he could be considered to have passed the trial on the First Floor.

It also meant, even if he does not obtain the legacy of Red Moon Master, it does not affect him.

When Ye Xiao truly understood what it means to explore the Lost Forest of Red Moon, he took a deep breath and was finally ready to do everything he could to look for the ruin of Red Moon Temple.

And if Su Ling is right, then it should be easy for him to discover the ruin compared to other people.

Maybe, this was also the reason why he was sent to the Light Rain City the moment the trial started.

What he needed to confirm now was whether everything around was real or just a creation of the trial.

"This forest is very dangerous. Although opportunity exists in many places in this forest, the dangers here are also the most terrifying. Why don't we move together? This way, we could take care of each other." Su Ling offered.

Although Ye Xiao's cultivation was too low, he might be the key to make the ruin of Red Moon Temple appear. She could not let Ye Xiao go away.

Ye Xiao also thought of the wooden claw and thought that exploring the forest alone will be very dangerous. It'll be good if someone is there to help him along the way. Thus, he agreed.

And just like that, both of them were ready to move forward.

Looking at Ye Xiao, Su Ling thought something and threw a pill at him and said, "Considering your age, your cultivation is really too low. This is a pill that could increase your cultivation to the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building. Increase your strength and then we could start looking for the ruin of Red Moon Temple."

Unknown to her, Ye Xiao's real age was just only eight. He looked like an adult during the trial has something to do with the man who gave him the task to explore the Lost Forest of Red Moon.

Ye Xiao looked at the pill and his eyes lit up.

What is the reason he was going through the trials of Golden Tower?

It is because he wanted to increase his strength so that he could do something about the Black Gate at the entrance of the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor.

Now that an opportunity was presented in front of him, how could he let it go to waste?

But he was concerned about one thing. If things here are not real, then his strength will also not increase.

But if the things he was going through is real, then his strength will definitely increase. And if that happens, Ye Xiao will try his best to most of the opportunities that exist in this forest.
