"Master it's {Chaotic Heart Illusion Array}." Elena said with confidence.

By now Kylo already explained her the situation. And that's the answer he got.

Seeing his confusion Elena continued

"It's a very high leveled formation which is used to identify and eliminate the inner demons prematurely. But this is where the problem really lies."

Seeing Elena's solemn expression Kylo asked curiously

"What's the problem?"

Squinting her eyes she replied

"Many rare treasures are required to create this formation."

"But that's not the issue. Those materials could be found if they are earnestly searched for."

"The issue is this is a lost formation from the Primordial Epoch. No one should have the method to create the formation in this era."

"Not even you?" Kylo asked with a surprised expression. He knew her background that's why he was surprised.

She smirked proudly and said

"There is nothing related to formation I can't do.... But to get the method for creating this formation my bloodline purity needs to be above 75%."

"Right now, I only have information regarding these type of arrays."

Kylo nodded in understanding. She continued to give Kylo a little more information about the array.

"Even in the Primordial Epoch, these type of formations were very rare. And it also took many resources to even activate the formation."

"That is why this was only used for the geniuses in that era before they transcended to immortality."

"Once their dao heart's strength reaches a certain level the inner demons will be eliminated by the array."

"After all it is relatively risk free which also increases the chances to produce immortals."

Kylo had to say the Primordial Epoch flourished for a reason.

To completely eliminate inner demons... Maybe that era could only be the one to claim such a big achievement!

"Master if my guess is right there were only 400 stairs and not 500."

Kylo nodded in agreement. This was also the conclusion he reached earlier.

"So that was really an illusion huh..." Kylo muttered in little amazement.

"Yes, and the moment the 4th isolated space was destroyed by the {Heaven Devourer Sword} we were directly transferred to the 5th isolated world where there is the {Chaotic Heart Illusion Array}."

"And once someone clears their inner demons they will be transported directly to this altar."

By now he already learnt about what happened when he learnt the second chapter of {Dance of Sword God} in the 4th isolated space.

How his claymore used the second chapter of the technique to completely destroy the laws of the space. (A/N1)

Kylo once again nodded in agreement to Elena's claims. But it's just that he also had a second conclusion

[What if there were 500 stairs but it was destroyed by the {Heaven Devourer Sword} using second chapter of {Dance of the Sword God}]

If that was the case then they missed an opportunity to increase their strength.

After all every time they climbed 99 steps they would always get some benefit.

Maybe Elena didn't think about it or maybe she didn't think this could be possible.

After all the raindrops at that time already destroyed the laws of the Isolated Space.

How could it have any more strength to destroy the stairs?

After all those stairs were not just created by some rare treasures, they were also protected by high leveled formations.

Anyways except these two there could be no other conclusions according to Kylo.

But which of these two conclusions were true might remain a mystery forever to Kylo and his crew.

***

Over a month passed by now. Everyone already gathered in the hall at this moment.

After Elena, it was surprisingly Avery who cleared her inner demons.

Kylo could easily guess her inner demon should be related to destruction of her clan.

But to completely clear her inner demons in such a short amount of time.

[Is it because she is Universal Elf?]

After Avery it was Selena who came out of the 5th Isolated world followed by Lena.

Lena surprisingly had a weak heart. This was a new piece of information to Kylo.

[Maybe she behaves that way to cover her weak heart. And that might also be the reason why Selena indulges her in those childish acts.]

[That might also be the reason why she always hides her intelligence and chose to hide in Elena's shadow.]

You truly can't judge a book by it's cover!

Nevertheless for Nigel to come last, not just Kylo everyone was speechless.

How could a royal dragon be this weak?

But what was surprising was that when Nigel came out he had a happy smile on his face.

Even after knowing he came last, the smile didn't falter.

Kylo even teased a little to make few of his veins pop out but to no avail.

This made Kylo depressed

[Now this guy is not a simple masochist anymore. He might have progressed to next level.] was Kylo's conclusion.

Nigel came out of couple of days back.

But Kylo decided to take a rest of few days and stabilize their emotions before progressing for the next level.

*thump* *thump* *thump* *thump*

Standing in front of the door with his crew Kylo's heart started beating frantically once again.

Taking a deep breath Kylo simply said

"Let's go."

And he pushed the pure white door.
