The Legend Of Fighter
CH 10'S. The Valley of Death
Tang Hao awoke from his sleep from feeling the strangeness that had occurred to his sea of qi. The child examined his sea of qi and was shocked as well as quivering when he saw the ocean of qinya was only as big as an adult pool.
The sea of qi he was proud of had now shrunk to such an extent that it almost made the child vomit blood.
"Agghhhh where is all my qi??" Tang Hao searched through every corner of his meridians even at the twelve prime meridians, even at his six Spiritual Roots, he found no trace of them at all.
Tang Hao sat on his bed feeling complicated and hurt. He had already accumulated his qinya energy for five years without any rest at all and now only a few days had it disappeared just like that, as if evaporating in the sunlight.
Tang Hao tried to control himself not to panic and always looked calm. He thought about it then analyzed to find out where all of his qi energy disappeared just overnight. Tang Hao scrunched his forehead when he found out his current realm had been at the 7-star Elite realm, or the intermediate stage silver swordsman level that was about to rise to the late stage.
"Are all my qi energies sucked up by my rate increase? If that is the case then it will be too long and heavy in the future if it has to go up a level, not to mention if suddenly my level decreases again."
Tang Hao got up from the bed.
"I have to ask my grandfather. Maybe grandpa knew the solution." Tang Hao muttered as he walked outside his room.
Tang Hao found that Lian's grandfather was cleaning the courtyard. His old body did not prevent him from various daily activities. Even Lian's own grandfather did not feel at home if just sitting around resting without doing anything like other elderly people.
"It looks like your face today is tangled once Hao'er?" Grandpa Lian asked as she watched Tang Hao walk in lethargy and complicated face.
Tang Hao raised his head as he walked towards grandfather Lian putting on a seirus face. After a moment of silence, Tang Hao finally told what he had experienced and told the results of his analysis where all his qi disappeared.
Grandpa Lian just nodded her head hearing Tang Hao's story.
Actually the old man was also thinking and analyzing what had befallen Tang Hao at the moment. Even Lian's grandfather was also shocked when he could not see Tang Hao's current cultivation level when clearly he could still see clearly. Yet he did not tell that to Tang Hao. Grandfather Lian paused for a moment thinking of the answer Tang Hao wanted.
"If grandfather sees, actually your strength all along that you have accumulated is not to disappear or yawn, but as if it is being sealed." Lian's grandfather began his analysis.
"sealed? Why should it be sealed cake? And who sealed my power?" Tang Hao asked with a worried and mixed tone. He was actually afraid if anyone tried to use him to do things that were inappropriate.
"Just calm down Hao'er you don't need to be afraid just if your true strength is sealed and pressed firmly, when the seal is opened, then a very powerful force will you have. But you have to train very hard and not tirelessly. The stronger your power base, the greater the strength you will have in the future. Moreover, grandfather saw that you have unlimited potential. Look there's not even anything else grandfather can teach you, your sword aura alone is already capable of killing someone in the Grand Master realm." Grandpa Lian spoke quite long while sweeping the courtyard. Tang Hao just silently listened because indeed he did not know what to answer.
Every piece of Grandfather Lian's advice was so deep in his heart, seeing his old and stooped grandfather made his heart ache more than it lost its cultivation.
Time went back as usual. Tang Hao returned to training, and the training in the Valley of Death made his development progress by leaps and bounds. Although five years had passed, but his cultivation had only increased by one time. Currently Tang Hao was at the eight-star Master realm or late stage Silver Swordsman level.
Although Tang Hao felt extremely frustrated, but with grandfather Lian standing by his side made him even more determined and ready to face any problems.
Tang Hao himself trained together with the thousand-year-old beasts that inhabited the Valley of Death. Every time Tang Hao approached them, surely cold sweat and fear filled them. Every time Tang Hao approached the beasts, they always felt unusually depressed and oppressed even though Tang Hao did not give off any aura.
The beasts felt as if Tang Hao was the ruler of all Beasts, and they could see that the blood of His Highness the Great Dragon God Emperor, was, the rushing within him made the beasts who had already achieved the title of king and queen, look like little children in front of Tang Hao. They could only resignedly become Tang Hao's training materials. Although they were tormented every day yet it was better than death to accompany them.
Tang Hao was even fifteen years old at the moment, he grew into a handsome, blue-eyed teenager with muscles sticking out adding to the child's prowess.
Tang Hao had not slept for a few days waiting for Lian's grandfather who was very sick. He had tried all sorts of medicines and pills but could not make Grandpa Lian's condition any better.
The more days Lian's grandfather's condition got worse, even to speak he was already unable to. He was just lying on the bed without being able to move. His breathing grew rougher and more difficult, Tang Hao could only give up on seeing Lian's dying grandfather's condition. The feeling of fear so affected his heart, he was unable to accept the reality of the departure of the only person he loved so much in this world.
"Grandfather.... Hix... Hikkss.. Hicks.." Tang Hao could not help but cry as soon as he knew that Grandfather Lian's body had started to cool and stiffen and was no longer breathing.
His body trembled violently holding back the crying that started rushing. Some of the beasts that were nearby were also unable to resist crying.
That afternoon, the Valley of Death suffered a deep sorrow unbeknownst to the people of this world.
Tang Hao was speechless looking at Lian's grandfather's stiff body, his mind was currently reminiscing back to the very beginning of him getting to this world and starting to study under Lian's grandfather. For him, Lian's grandfather was like a father, mother, friend, brother and even a teacher who was always there for him.
Tang Hao's eyes looked dumbly as most were crying, he even cried to the point of not being able to cry. A few beasts that were worried about Tang Hao's condition offered to immediately bury Lian's grandfather's body. But Tang Hao remained silent as if he did not hear the words of the beasts behind him.
Tang Hao's tears came back down, neither in this world nor in the previous world, death being the most frightening thing. He recalled his death in his previous life.
"Did Aunt Yang also cry over my death?" Tang Hao muttered as he remembered Aunt Yang in his previous life. In his heart, Aunt Yang and Grandpa Lian had the same position. Both were too precious for him to lose them.
Tang Hao walked slowly closer to grandfather Lian's body which had already begun to smell unpleasant. Like a corpse in general, after a day of death without treatment, a person's corpse will begin to emit an unpleasant aroma that invites various diseases if not treated or buried.
Tang Hao carried Lian's grandfather's stiff body out of the house and walked closer to Lian's grandfather's grave which had been dug by the beasts, there the beasts had waited with a feeling of sadness and heads bowed.
The imagined Tang Hao floated into grandfather Lian's grave and placed his body slowly into the ground. Tang Hao steeled his heart, however, if calculated by his old age the current Tang Hao was like a young man of responsibility. He had to be strong to start living in this much crueler world.
After burying Lian's grandfather, Tang Hao walked back to his house and found the atmosphere there completely empty and desolate. Tang Hao held onto his chest which was back in turbulence unprepared for the loss of Lian's grandfather.
Arrays can be used to protect something, while seals are used to strengthen the array or confine something. The stronger the seal made, the stronger the resulting array.
With Tang Hao's current proficiency, unsealing the seal made by Lian's grandfather wasn't difficult. After unraveling the seal, Tang Hao put away Lian's grandfather's mattress and found under the mattress a small box.
Tang Hao scrunched his forehead as he looked at the small box. He had not expected that it turned out that something that was sealed intricately under Lian's grandfather's mattress was a small box. Tang Hao tried to calm down and not question his grandfather's sanity.
Tang Hao lifted the small wooden box but he did not move at all. Tang Hao again lifted the small box but remained motionless at all.
Tang Hao watched closely trying to figure out if there was a seal in the box or not. After observing for quite a while, Tang Hao found no seal at all.
"If there's no seal, why wouldn't I lift this fucking wooden box at all." Tang Hao muttered.
"From trying to lift it up to no avail, it's better to think about figuring out how to open this wooden box."
After thinking hard, Tang Hao in the fictional novels he read, if one wanted to be recognized by an object, then that person had to make a contract and drip his blood as proof of the contract.
Tang Hao did the same. He tried to slash his finger with Lian's grandfather's kitchen knife, but instead of his injured hand, the kitchen knife was dull all of a sudden. Tang Hao scrunched his forehead, he could not believe that his finger was more snappy than Grandpa Lian's sharp blade that was capable of cutting through even hard bones.
Tang Hao placed the already cuil kitchen knife nearby, he tried to bite his own finger hard.
Griiuutt...
Blood poured out profusely from Tang Hao's finger, he quickly pointed his finger towards the small town below him and began to install the opening seal.
Wuush..
The red glow glistened from the small wooden box and absorbed all of Tang Hao's blood in the wooden box until it dried.
Pluck..
The wooden box opened on its own and inside was a black ring with small blood-red ring eyes.
Tang Hao took the black ring and watched it closely. Tang Hao found nothing strange but carvings inside the ring ring that read "The Ring of the Universe".
"Hemm seems like this is the object that grandfather said as ten universe objects that have almighty power. And this ring is the only thing in the universe that has dimensional space inside. Even Lian's grandfather said, he was only five percent exploring all the dimensions in this ring."
Tang Hao put on the ring and instantly it disappeared from his sight yet he felt that the ring was still attached to his ring finger.
"Wowws.. What an interesting ring. I didn't think it would be this easy to have it. Hahahaha now I have become one of the most powerful people in the universe. Hahaha" Tang Hao laughed. His laughter was heard all the way to the entire Valley of Death. The beasts that heard the laughter could feel the immense energy contained within. They immediately moved away from the source of the laughter even though they knew who was capable of expending such great energy was Tang Hao, besides they were also afraid of being near the child, too, they will be the target of his training and become the material of the boy's boxing bag.
Tang Hao finished his laughter and checked out what the contents of Grandpa Lian's Universal Ring were.
"Woows... Grandpa is really rich. Is crazy..." Tang Hao was shocked when he found the pile of treasures inside his ring. A pile of treasures he had never seen even in his wildest dreams.
In addition to piles of treasures, there are various kinds of piles of weapons and scrolls and armor with various sizes and models.
Tang Hao looked at all of it with a feeling of soaring excitement and twinkling eyes.
After seeing the pile of treasures in satisfaction, Tang Hao immediately walked out of the Dimension of the Universe Ring. He can sense something dangerous and life-threatening from another dimension in the Universe's ring.
"Right as grandfather said, even with the level of grandfather once at the peak of strength, he was still injured with just an aura coming out of 'something' in the dimension of the universe ring. I think I brought something dangerous. I don't know what kind of creature is sealed in there, but it's definitely not something I can handle. If I can meet with mister Xiao again, I will ask him to see what it is. I'm sure mister Xiao is much stronger than grandfather, at least my instincts say so. Even though I don't know what kind of relationship I have with her, I can sense that she will never harm me at all." Tang Hao muttered to himself indistinctly. He walked towards his room and packed all his belongings.
Like his grandfather's will once he had died, Tang Hao to immediately go outside of the Valley of Death while looking for a way to become immortal as Tang Hao wished.
Grandfather Lian said, if Tang Hao did indeed want to become immortal, then he would have to go to a world higher than the world he currently occupies. But unfortunately Grandpa Lian did not say where he should look for a higher world. Even so did not dampen Tang Hao's intention to seek immortality in order to avoid death.
With strong determination and burning desire, Tang Hao left the land where he had been growing and playing. Tang Hao paid his respects to all the beasts that always accompanied him and became friends in his training.
Wush...
Tang Hao flew towards the sunset because that was where Lian's grandfather said the prefix of this niao Kingdom. Tang Hao's journey for the first time began.
