Chapter 7 Ch 7: Secret Of Living Flowers

"Is there a reason I can't get close to these Living Flowers?" Ye Xiao looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man smiled and hesitated a little before explaining: "There is no specific reason, it is just that no matter how beautiful these flowers look from the outside, they are very dangerous. They could even kill a warrior who has gone through the Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation and become a Chaos Dust Realm warrior. So, it is better to not get too close to these flowers!"

Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this. He curiously looked at these flowers and asked: "Are these flowers that powerful? Then why was Green Flame Emperor so obsessed with these dangerous flowers? Is it just because they look beautiful?"

"No!" The middle-aged man shook his head, replying: "These flowers are not really that powerful, but when someone gets close to these flowers, they release a special kind of poisonous fog that could kill even Chaos Dust Realm warrior in a short period of time!"

"As for why the Green Flame Emperor was obsessed with these flowers, it is said that the Green Flame Emperor discovered a secret about these flowers, and wanted to use that secret to create something. But no one knows what it is, and after the death of Green Flame Emperor, it is unknown if he created what he wanted back then or failed!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. But he also became curious about the Green Flame Emperor and these Living Flowers.

The Green Flame Emperor's tomb was hidden somewhere and these Living Flowers are the key to entering that tomb. At the same time, Green Flame Emperor wanted to create something using these flowers, but it is unknown whether he succeeded or not.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the Living Flowers. At this time, his eyes suddenly flashed with green light as he activated the Eyes of Insight.

As long as the Eyes of Insight is activated, nothing could be hidden from it. All disguises and all illusions could be seen through. These eyes could see through the essence of everything.

The moment Ye Xiao activated the Eyes of Insight, the view in front of him changed completely. He was shocked to discover what he saw in front of him now.

He could not help but mutter: "So, is this what the Green Flame Emperor wanted to create back then? Is this what the Green Flame Emperor discovered?"

The middle-aged man, on the other hand, was stunned when he saw Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly flashing with green light. The green light in his eyes made the middle-aged man feel as if he was standing in front of Ye Xiao completely naked, as if Ye Xiao has completely seen through him.

He could not help but shudder.

'Is this someone blessed by the Morning Stars?'

The middle-aged man could not help but mutter in his heart. Then he suddenly remembered what the family head told him.

Before he brought Ye Xiao to this garden, he was told by Ye Molong that if something happens to Ye Xiao, inform him immediately.

Ye Molong was not worried that something might happen to Ye Xiao, he was just worried that Ye Xiao might be bullied by other children.

The middle-aged man immediately took out a piece of paper and tore it apart. This was a talisman that could immediately alert the family head. This way, the family head would come here immediately.

He did not know if something really happened to Ye Xiao that caused his eyes to turn green, but he felt the need of informing the family head.

.....

Inside the guest room, Ye Molong was talking about something serious with Ling Wei Long, Ling Cheng, Ye Moling, and Ye Lihua when he suddenly felt something and stood up.

"Brother, what happened?"

Ye Moling looked at her brother and asked worriedly. She knew her brother very well, he will never stand up from a meeting in the middle without any reason. Something must have happened.

Ye Molong anxiously said: "Something happened to Xiaolong in the garden. Let us hurry and go!"

"What? What happened to my Xiaolong?" Ye Lihua was startled and immediately got worried. She could no longer care less about her image as the lady of the Illusionary Spirit Gate. She hurriedly asked in a loud voice, completely ignoring the fact that she is talking to someone of the older generation and the leader of the Ye Family.

But no one said anything to her. It is because everyone immediately became anxious.

"Molong, tell me what exactly happened?" Ling Wei Long was still able to keep his cool even though he was also deeply worried. Maybe, it is because he was the leader of the Illusionary Spirit Sect for tens of thousands of years that made him stay rational all the time and not lose his focus.

"I don't know what exactly happened. I was just informed that something might be wrong with Xiaolong. Let's not waste our time here and go."

"Yes, let's go!"

Everyone hurriedly nodded their heads and left the room and strode toward the garden where Ye Xiao was staring at the Living Flowers with his green pupils.

When everyone arrived at the scene, they saw Ye Xiao blankly looking at the Living Flowers. His eyes were glowing with green light, but it was impossible to tell whether something happened to Ye Xiao or not.

At one glance, he looked alright but on a second glance, he seemed to be standing in a daze, as if he had seen something frightening.

No one has ever seen Ye Xiao's green eyes before. It is because Ye Xiao never showed them to anyone. He felt that disclosing his ability to devour and teleport should be enough.

But in the current situation, he did not care whether another one of his abilities was revealed to everyone or not. He was more curious about these so-called Living Flowers that were not 'living' at all.

When Ye Xiao activated his Eyes of Insight, he was shocked to see discover that all the Living Flowers in front of him started transforming into some kind of strange creatures. These creatures' true body was impossible to be seen, for they were completely covered in black energy.

However, under Ye Xiao's Eyes of Insight, everything was revealed in front of him. The black fog dissipated slowly and their true bodies were revealed. They were all pitiful souls of dead people that were bound to this place through a formation. This formation was very big, completely covering the garden. This formation was very special and detecting it normally was almost impossible by anyone.

As for the function of this formation, this formation not only forcefully trapped thousands of these souls here, but it was also used to torture these souls so that resentment could be collected. It was the resentments from these souls that completely covered their soul bodies in black fog.

The collected resentment seemed to be like a dense fog, similar to liquid, but not exactly. Defining them was very difficult.

But they seemed to be sipping through the formation and disappearing inside the ground.

To not be discovered by the people outside, the formation also completely disguised the soul bodies and made them look like Living Flowers.

He also discovered another function of this formation. If anyone gets close to the Living Flowers (resentful souls), the collected resentments of the resentful souls will be released by the formation that directly invades their body, and affects their souls, killing them in the end in the shortest period of time.

After that, the soul of that person will also become a Living Flower, working to give birth to resentments that will later seep under the ground.

These resentful souls have been working for someone through the formation for countless years now. No one knows how much resentment must have been collected by the perpetrator.

Ye Xiao then lowered his eyes to look at the ground. His gaze penetrated through the layers of soil, sand, rock, other ores, and many other things before it appeared in front of a completely black gate.

This black gate was very special and covered in a very strange aura. This aura gave a chill running through Ye Xiao's spine.

At the same time, Ye Xiao felt a stinging pain in his eyes, causing his eyes to start bleeding. The green glow immediately disappeared from Ye Xiao's eyes.

"Aahhh!"

Ye Xiao could not help but let out a painful cry in his childish voice and covered his eyes with both his hands. He felt as if he was going to become blind. The pain made him feel as if his eyes were being bitten by many poisonous ants at once.

"Did I overuse the Eyes of Insight?" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and did not dare to open his eyes.

"Xiaolong?"

"Son, what happened?"

On the other hand, when Ye Lihua and Ling Cheng saw Ye Xiao bleeding from his eyes, their heart cried. Their bodies flashed and they immediately appeared in front of Ye Xiao, holding him in their arms.
