Chapter 435 Ch 435: Evolution: Lotus of Chaos
Ling Xiaolong's strength had increased rapidly in a very short period of time. In fact, he was now much more powerful than Ling Xiaolong #1 was at his peak.
In addition to the six bloodline abilities from three different bloodlines that were devoured by the Primordial Origin Bloodline, Ling Xiaolong also gained a few abilities from this bloodline.
Among the basic abilities he acquired were the Primordial Origin Body, Primordial Origin Soul, and Primordial Origin Eyes.
The current Ling Xiaolong, with white hair and blue eyes, had taken on the form of a Primordial Being. In fact, he could no longer revert back to his human form. He didn't know the reason, but after the awakening of the Primordial Origin Bloodline, he underwent a complete transformation and lost his identity as a human.
Now, he existed as a Primordial Being.
A wealth of information had been imparted to Ling Xiaolong's mind ten years ago.
According to this information, Primordial Beings are creatures directly born from the Tree of Chaos. Chaos itself is a Primordial Existence, as is the Queen. Now, Ling Xiaolong was the third Primordial Being.
It could be said that he was no longer bound by the rules of Chaos; he stood above them. Moreover, he could control the Rules of Chaos at will because he fully understood these rules.
The limit of his personal Chaos had also reached the realm of Master of Chaos. It is noteworthy that his personal chaos is not bound by Ling Xiaolong's limit; it is bound by his cultivation.
In other words, although Ling Xiaolong is only a Level 5 Master of Chaos, his personal chaos has already evolved into an entity capable of accommodating countless Level 36 Masters of Chaos.
In short, Ling Xiaolong's personal Chaos is already on equal footing with the true Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong's strength had increased to such an extent that the Hall of Sin and the Tower of Wisdom were no longer considered worthy adversaries.
Ling Xiaolong had already decided to look for Ling Xiaolong #1 after leaving the Mystic Realm.
Currently, his attention was focused elsewhere as he observed the cracking cocoon within his personal chaos.
"BOOM!"
After a brief moment, the cocoon shattered into pieces, revealing an ethereal entity.
It was still the Lotus of Chaos, but it had undergone significant changes. Instead of 108 petals, there were now only 36 petals, each glowing with a different color representing a rule.
Wait a minute!
Did this mean that Ling Xiaolong's Chaos now only had 36 Rules?
The answer is both yes and no.
In reality, it's not as simple as that.
Yes, Ling Xiaolong's personal chaos now consisted of only 36 Rules. Due to this, it was now beyond the comprehension of any Master of Chaos.
These 36 Rules had now evolved several nomological rules, serving as branches of the original 36 rules. Beings of Chaos and Celestial Beings could only comprehend these nomological rules, not the original 36. Masters of Chaos could control and manipulate these nomological rules, rather than the original 36.
As for who could comprehend the original 36 rules, Ling Xiaolong knew that he first had to become a King of Chaos. Only then could the limit of his personal Chaos expand.
In other words, only Kings of Chaos were qualified to comprehend the original 36 Rules.
This transformation was brought by the Lotus of Chaos following its fusion with the Tree of Dao and the Infinity Symbol. However, it was just one of numerous changes.
Other than the 36 Rules, the most remarkable change was the appearance of millions of mysterious Runes that now circulated automatically throughout the entire body of the massive Lotus of Chaos. These Runes once belonged to the Tree of Dao, but now, they were a part of the Lotus of Chaos.
These runes were not there as mere decoration. Ling Xiaolong could discern a distinct Dao emanating from them.
"This Dao..."
For the time being, Ling Xiaolong could not tell the purpose of this Dao, but he had a feeling that this Dao might be a key to something big.
Then there was the last change. The colossal Lotus of Chaos has 36 petals and every petal has a mysterious space inside them. The mysterious spaces were worlds of their own.
Obviously, this change was brought to the Lotus of Chaos by the fusion with the Infinity Symbol.
"The Lotus of Chaos has surpassed the boundary of Heavenly Mystery. It now holds the rank of an Ethereal Guardian-level Treasure, sharing the same stage as the Tree of Chaos. However, I have a feeling that it may still pale in comparison to the power of the Tree of Chaos. It is still far weaker."
Ling Xiaolong muttered in a low voice.
The Lotus of Chaos was no longer pure lotus, instead, thousands of dark blue shimmering with starlight could be seen scattered in every direction, spanning thousands of miles. These vines were all rooted in the lower part of the Lotus of Chaos.
After Ye Xiao merged with Qin Feng, the Lotus of Chaos evolved to the next stage. At that time, another lotus bud had sprouted beside the main Lotus of Chaos from one of its petioles.
Over time, this bud had matured into a small lotus with 108 petals. However, unlike the main lotus of chaos with different-
colored petals, these 108 petals emitted a uniform color. This indicated that this Lotus of Chaos had not yet merged with any specific Rule. It remained a pure Lotus of Chaos, akin to those found in the Primordial Origin Sea of the Tree of Chaos.
It was the original Lotus of Chaos that had fused with the Tree of Dao and the Infinity Symbol, not the smaller one growing from its petiole.
Although Ling Xiaolong could choose to harvest the smaller Lotus of Chaos and give it to someone, he had no intention of taking such a foolish action.
Just as Ling Xiaolong was observing the Lotus of Chaos, he felt a slight tremor in space.
Withdrawing senses from his personal chaos, Ling Xiaolong found a gate of light in front of him.
Obviously, the period of a hundred years had passed. It was time to leave the Mystic Realm. If a person does not leave the Mystic Realm in 24 hours, they'll have to spend a million years inside the Mystic Realm before they can go out again.
Ling Xiaolong did not waste time and immediately walked out of the Mystic Realm.
This time, the people who were able to come out of the Mystic Realm had all grown stronger in different ways. Some broke through in their cultivation, some comprehended a new rule, some increased their understanding of rules, and all this happened because of the Voice of Dao.
The appearance of the reflection of chaos and the Lotus of Chaos was bound to cause a huge uproar in the outer world.
As if these things had nothing to do with Ling Xiaolong.
After leaving the Mystic Realm, he first went to meet Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling and then left the Land of Celestial Glory.
His next destination was the forbidden land left behind by the forgotten era; Celestial Phoenix Holy Land.
.....
Outside the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land, a young man wandered about with an anxious expression.
"What should I do?"
"After more than a hundred years, I finally found his whereabouts. But this place is forbidden territory. What if I'm unable to leave once I enter?"
"Should I enter or not?"
"But... If I don't enter, what will happen? It's been so many years, and I have no idea about the situation back in my own chaos. I don't know how my master and everyone else are faring."
This troubled individual was Ling Tianhao.
Upon leaving the incomplete chaos, he began his search for Ling Xiaolong. Locating his trail wasn't difficult. Within the first decade, he heard from someone that the legendary Ling Xiaolong had returned and entered the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land.
Of course, this information came from those unaware that Ling Xiaolong had been spotted once again in the Land of Luminous Essence.
Locating Ling Xiaolong wasn't difficult, but pinpointing the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land proved to be a challenge, and reaching it was even more arduous.
After hundreds of years, Ling Tianhao finally arrived at the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land. However, he hesitated whether to enter or not, wary of the potential consequences.
After all, if he became trapped within, his life would be over.
It was widely known that those who ventured into the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land never returned; their fate was often presumed to be death.
Over the past century, Ling Tianhao had not only searched for Ling Xiaolong but also diligently cultivated, ascending to the level of a Third Stage Celestial Awakening Realm warrior.
His progress could be deemed remarkable. It was also proof of his exceptional talent in cultivation. The speed of his cultivation could be said to be sky high.
As he wrestled with his decision, space started to fluctuate not far from him. This spatial fluctuation caught his attention.
Very soon, a figure appeared with a sudden flash of light.
