Chapter 778 Ch 778: Sphere Of Light
Elders of the Sky Ghost Race continued discussing the matter of their patriarch for some time. After that, under Ye Xiao's and everyone's pressure, the Leader finally agreed to bring everyone to the Eighth Floor of the Tower that stayed hidden for eons.
The Leader agreed because of the Red Heaven Sword. Red Heaven Sword has already entered the Tower and it was very likely that it has gone to the Eighth Floor, to its previous owner.
The Leader brought everyone to the Seventh Floor. There was no way ahead from here. It was as if the Seventh Floor was the end of the tower. This was also the reason why everyone always thought that the tower only has seven floors.
At this time, the Leader took out a small disc. This disc had many strange patterns carved on it. Moreover, it was actually fluctuating with spatial energy.
Looking at the disc, Ye Xiao immediately had a guess in his heart. The Leader previously told everyone that the Red-haired Lady gave him a Formation Plate that created a huge barrier, keeping the patriarch inside. And it was also from that moment that the Eighth Floor disappeared.
As far as Ye Xiao guessed, this disc must be the Formation Plate given by the Red-haired Lady.
As Ye Xiao expected, after the Leader did something to the Formation Plate, the formation plate flew out from his hand and started floating in the air while spinning at an extremely fast speed. Immediately after that, it started shining with silver light and shot toward the ceiling of the Seven Floor.
"Bang!"
The moment the beam of light collided against the ceiling, instead of something shattering, a ripple along with a soft sound appeared. Everyone was surprised as they kept looking above, waning to see what this ripple exactly was.
They could also see the Formation Plate still spinning above. It caused the ripple to maintain its momentum. Then many streams of energy flew out from the Formation Plate and started expanding in straight lines on the ripple before taking left or right turn. In short, it quickly covered the entire ceiling that was rippling because of some invisible energy.
Suddenly, a crack appeared that kept expanding before exploding, causing everyone to close their eyes. When everyone opened their eyes, they found themselves standing in front of a huge sphere of light. They were no longer on the seventh floor but standing in a place they had never been to before.
This was the Eighth Floor of the Tower.
Surprisingly, the Red Heaven Sword was floating in front of the huge sphere of light, as if it was waiting for someone to come. When everyone appeared, the Red Heaven Sword let out a humming sound and instantly flashed in front of Ye Xiao. Then it started circling around him as if wanting Ye Xiao to do something for it.
Ye Xiao frowned his brows. He didn't know what the Red Heaven Sword wanted him to do.
Others were also staring at the Red Heaven Sword with puzzled expressions on their faces. They couldn't understand why the Red Heaven Sword was circling around a human, an outsider who has nothing to do with their Sky Ghost Race.
Maybe, the Leader of the Sky Ghost Race thought of something, he spoke: "Actually, I've been to this place many times before but I was never able to enter the Sphere Of Light. This Sphere of Light is like a very powerful energy barrier that is keeping the inside safe from the outside dangers. After eons of research, although I'm not sure, I come to a conclusion. My conclusion is that only someone who is closely related to our Patriarch can enter the Sphere Of Light."
"I don't know why the Red Heaven Sword is unable to enter the Sphere of Light even though it is a God Levelled Weapon, but I think the reason might be because it was used to be the sword of our Patriarch. However, after the Patriarch passed down the Red Heaven Sword to our young lady, he broke his connection with the sword, causing the only connection between him and the sword to be broken. But the sword has its own spirit. It remembers its previous master very well. However, this Sphere Of Light is different. One must be closely related to the patriarch if one wants to enter. As for the Red Heaven Sword, since its connection with our Patriarch has already been broken, even though it is the Guardian Weapon of my Sky Ghost Race, it is unable to enter the Sphere of Light."
"I don't know where our Young Lady found that Formation Plate which created this Sphere Of Light. As far as I could guess, only she could enter because she is the daughter of the patriarch."
"As for why the Red Heaven Sword is acting like this in front of the little friend, I don't know."
Although the Leader didn't know why the Red Heaven Sword was circling around Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao understood after hearing the explanation of the Leader.
The Red Heaven Sword was also sealed inside a Sphere Of Light. It was because of the aura of the Red-haired Lady that he was able to go past the barrier of light. And this was exactly the situation on the Eighth Floor of the Tower. Since he could use the aura of the Red-haired Lady to enter the Sphere of Light deep inside the river, he could do the same here.
The only question was, could he still use the aura of the Red-haired Lady?
Well, if he doesn't try, he'll not know.
Nodding his head, he muttered softly, "Ok ok, calm down. I'll try and see if I can enter the Sphere Of Light or not!"
Only then did the Red Heaven Sword stop circling around his body. It calmly followed Ye Xiao as Ye Xiao arrived just one step away from the Sphere Of Light.
As for the Leader and other people, they didn't know what Ye Xiao was doing. The Leader didn't say anything because he knew that the Fate of Sky Ghost Race is closely connected to Ye Xiao and there was also the Red Heaven Sword, its previous actions gave the Leader another reason not to say anything to Ye Xiao at this moment and let him do what he was doing. And others didn't say anything because their Leader was silent.
After Ye Xiao arrived in front of the Sphere Of Light, he extended his hand with some doubt and hope in his heart. He was doubtful because he was not sure if the aura of the Red-haired Lady was still on his body or not. And there was also hope in his heart. He really wanted to enter the Sphere Of Light and meet the Patriarch of the Sky Ghost Race who was also an Ancient God as well as the strongest expert of the entire Sky Ghost Race.
Fortunately, he was not disappointed. Although much weaker, the aura of the Red-haired Lady was still on his body. However, even this weak aura alone was enough to kill many people like Ye Xiao in an instant. After all, this was the aura of a God.
A God's might is not something that someone of Ye Xiao's caliber can withstand.
The moment Ye Xiao extended his hand and wanted to touch the Sphere of Light, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. It was the aura of the Red-haired Lady.
It was as if the aura had its own intelligence and knew when to activate and when not to. Till now, it has been activated three times in total.
The first time was when he was about to enter the Sphere Of Light in order to obtain the Red Heaven Sword. The second time was when the Red Heaven Sword trapped Ye Xiao inside its Sword Domain and was about to kill Ye XIao. And the third time was now.
On the other hand, when Ye Xiao extended his hand, the Leader closed his eyes tightly because he didn't want to see Ye Xiao's miserable figure. He has come to this place many times and has also tried to touch the Sphere Of Light. However, the moment he touched, he was sent flying by a giant force that invaded his body as well, causing him to suffer heavy injuries.
He imagined the same thing for Ye Xiao, causing him to close his eyes.
As for the other people, they were completely unaware of the events that had happened with their leader. They were observing Ye Xiao's every movement with curiosity in their eyes. They were really curious and wanted to see what will happen the next moment.
What the Leader was waiting for never happened. He was still waiting to hear Ye Xiao's miserable cry, however, instead of this, he suddenly felt the appearance of an unfathomable aura pressuring down on him and this entire space. It has been a very long time since he felt an aura this unfathomable!
"This is... Aura of the Young Lady!"
