The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 21. PANDORA BOX
Tang Xiao walked out of his room with a smile. He is happy with his life now. As if just yesterday he was lamenting his life and regretting, now he has a power that no one has ever imagined. Life does look like a game. If he's not good at it, he'll play you. Life is also reciprocal. Where there is light there is darkness. A shadow will be produced by the light that touches the object. Good nature and bad nature will exist if there is a container. Like two coins that contradict each other but complement each other. Cannot be separated from each other.
Tang Xiao walked into his father's room. It seemed that his father was still busy cultivating. Now his father's body looks thinner than before because it does not eat for days and does not stop cultivating. Thus, the aura coming out from his father looked more earthy and more dazzling than before.
Tang Xiao then took a walk in the hallway of the palace looking at his surroundings then walked into the palace hall. There it turned out to have been Yan Shan, Yan Zhi, Yan Zhou as well as some elders and some families from the four Imperial Pillars Families. Seeing the arrival of the masked Tang Xiao changed slightly.
He could feel the murderous lust of the few people present. He knew those people were from the Lin family.
"Xiao'er finally you came too. There are a few things to discuss about the recent stirring incident." Yan Shan stood up and told him to sit on the chair beside him. The seat that was supposed to be held by Yan Zhi as the former Emperor and Imperial advisor. Some people saw the incident. Especially the Lin family. They knew Tang Xiao had managed to change the carefully arranged plan. As a result, until now they have not heard from the Demon God.
While paying his respects to Yan Zhi and Yan Shan, Tang Xiao sat casually on the seat of honor as if enjoying it very much. The other big families were able to understand that because of the great merit that Tang Xiao inscribed. But not the Lin family. They grew hotter when they saw Tang Xiao looking with a mocking look at them. 'Calm down you guys. Don't let us be caught. The masked boy actually knew nothing. He just felt so proud to be sitting there." Patriarch Lin Jun calmed his people.
"Yes the father of the Emperor, I also want to discuss it." Tang Xiao who had been sitting down opened his voice and spoke casually as if he was his own father.
"Say Xiao'er. It seems like information from you is better." Yan Shan trusted his foster son very well. Moreover, with his current level of strength being the highest pillar of the White Stream as well as the Yan Empire in this continent.
"We certainly know the incident a few days ago on the South Coast. The South Coast, which has spread many mysteries, now gives a bigger mystery and not as simple as imagined." Tang Xiao was silent for a moment. He smiled broadly at the expression of the Lin family.
"At the bottom of the Southern Ocean Beach there is a Castle Palace of two-horned creatures and all its members. That creature is called the Demon God. The creature had been silent for some time and all the evil of the black stream was masterminded by this Devil. Even the Demon Worshiping Sect had long since joined forces and stayed at the bottom of the ocean along with its entire members. The Sea Ghosts as Patriarch of the Demon Worshiping Sect had been at the level of a Heaven General. A level that would never exist in this world." Tang Xiao stopped his explanation. He let everyone digest the information from him.
Of course, all surprised is not dumbfounded to hear it. Some of them are unbelieving but some are nodding. During this time they were also shrouded in mystery with the disappearance of the entire Demon Worshiper sect and its Patriarch. Not even one is left behind. Only the ruins of the building remain. Though the Demon Worshiping Sect was the biggest sect of the black stream. The Patriarch alone was already at the level of an early Sky God. All the mysteries are revealed little by little. Especially from the Zhou family, they increasingly understood the situation and increasingly trusted this masked young man before them.
"What does this have to do with what happened on the South Coast. Has there been a big battle.?" The impatient Patriarch Zhou Yun immediately asked. Although he was hesitant to ask because there was a sane person who attacked the Demon God palace whose strength was immeasurable. Everyone was also curious especially the Lin Family.
"Yes there has been a battle. Not a battle, but rather a massacre" Tang Xiao said coldly.
"What massacre?" Everyone asked simultaneously.
"The.... Who was slaughtered?" Lin Yan impatiently asked. He had forgotten that his cockroach contained suspicions towards the families of the other three Empires.
"Of course the one who was slaughtered was the Demon God and all his minions." Tang Xiao replied leisurely yet coldly.
"Ap....... The Demon God was slaughtered?"Everyone almost died in surprise. What kind of man is capable of slaughtering a Demon God for just a moment along with his minions. The palace hall began to tingle. Various opinions expressed. The Zhou Family, the Ling Family and the Nan Family were still confused by this information. They seem to believe but they also seem to be in disbelief. The more things unfold the more mysteries are created.
The Lin Family became the death center. Their bodies are shaking. This new information is clearly hurting them greatly. It could even be that their disguise is threatened. All this time they were fully dependent on the Demon God as their ally. Now it is slaughtered without rest. Clearly the person who massacred it was not just anyone because it could tell the location of the Demon God that they just did not know about.
"I'm sure you're all wondering where I got this information from and who the person who massacred the Demon God was. But trust me, he's a man you never imagined his strength would be. And trust that person on our side."
"Master in a mask, what is your relationship with that person and is there any evidence of what you say?" Lin Yan asked ketar. He needed time to think about escaping from the precarious atmosphere that would soon befall his family. Hearing that question Tang Xiao smiled widely.
"My relationship with that person is that that person is my teacher. And the proof is in your family, Mr. Lin." Said Tang Xiao while taking out a sky-level sword.
Everyone who was shocked heard Tang Xiao's words, suddenly their bodies were unable to move. Especially the Lin family. They have trouble breathing. It was as if they were being pulled by a huge gravity.
Tang Xiao gave off the aura of a Divine Dragon God capable of suppressing a single universe.
......................
Xiao Long who continued to swim in the depths of the extremely dark sea had now stopped in front of an enormous trough. He stopped for a moment to look at the trough. Poked in the trough there is a conical hole with a width that can only be entered by two people simultaneously. But the further down, the size of the trough is getting bigger. The aura he felt earlier became clearer even though it was not as big as before. He immediately entered the trough and swam quickly towards the bottom of the trough. It takes about four sticks of incense to be burned to get to the bottom. He was quite surprised by the length of time he swam that took such time when his speed was like the speed he flew when heading to the South Coast.
At the bottom of the trough he was surprised by the existence of a wide hallway that jutted down with a lot of stairs. The illumination crystal lights illuminated the passageway making it unsightly. The hallway was dry without a drop of water. As if there was a barrier between the passageway and the sea water.
Xiao Long was still standing quite far away from that passageway. He could see two Nirvana level guards standing on a seahorse-like animal but could live without water. The guards wore black armor that covered his entire body to the eyes. Xiao Long's presence was not felt by those two people.
Because of curiosity and Xiao Long did not want to cause trouble and disturb the peace of the place he did not know, he then melted the existence of air and his existence using the science of Halimun Universe. His presence could not be detected by anyone and melted himself with the air.
Xiao Long slowly swam down. What a great science, water ripples from swimming did not exist. Xiao Long freely entered the passageway. He noticed the ancient carvings and symbols carved very neatly on the walls. He estimated the carvings to be around hundreds of thousands of years old. Likewise, the walls and floors made of marble have an age that is not much different.
He entered the passageway that was originally vertical the longer it got horizontally. There were several Earth God level guards in each passageway. So far he has not found any Nirvana level guards except the ones at the hallway door. Xiao Long's journey came to a halt when he saw a pair of doors that were quite high and wide. About five meters the size of one door leaf. He entered the door without opening and arrived in a very spacious and luxurious room. Sangking vast there are hundreds of luxury buildings and extensive parks. In the middle of the park there is a pond with a colorful fountain. The room is more suitable to be called a small town. The room looks dim with its perfunctory lighting. The room was like a full moon. Maybe this place is night. Some people sit on chairs that surround the park. Some kids are chasing in the park. Sometimes their parents remind them to be careful. These people look like ordinary people. White, beautiful, handsome and tall.
Xiao Long used his Divine Dragon eyes to see the situation. He was quite surprised once he saw that there was another life in the room. There was an artificial dimension in the room. In that dimension had sat several tens of people around a round table with one magnificent chair at the end of the table and sat a sepuh with a bundle of beards dangling down to the chest. The elderly man sat back against a large pole with a carving of a 2-meter-high blue tiger roar. On top of that pole was a box made of clear glass. In the glass was a square box the size of an adult human head. The box glowed red and continued to shake.
The red light showed a masked person in gold robes swimming and stopping when he saw the hallway guarded by two people. The person who was swimming suddenly vanished from the screen and disappeared somewhere.
Xiao Long watched the people in that dimension. There is fear and fear within them. Without further ado Xiao Long immediately entered the dimensional room. He was standing a bit away from the people sitting around the round table. The red light in the box is getting brighter. And the vibration is getting louder.
"Why Pandora's Box became like this. Sir, do you feel someone's presence?" An old woman asked an old Grandpa who was sitting on his back to the box.
"I don't feel anyone's presence. But this box shows there's someone around here. The person who became the messenger received this box. I don't know why I can't feel anything. Pandora's box is never wrong and never misses." An old man around the age of 70 years answered confused. Everyone sighed. They know if this Pandora's box falls into the hands of a non-owner then it could be the destruction that occurs.
"Master. Is it possible that the golden-robed man was the predestined destiny?" A middle-aged woman asked.
"I don't know either. But if the golden-robed man is the one who is meant by this Box, then that man is not the one who is in the prophecy." The old man took a breath.
"You all remember what the ancestors said. If that destined person came, then the color that came out of this box was the color of gold. Whereas if the messenger comes then the color of this box becomes red. This box from earlier was bright red. Signifying that the messenger has come and is near us." The old man spoke while facing the box that was shining a bright red color.
"But sir. How can anyone succeed in knowing and entering into this dimension. A dimension that not even the Heaven Emperor himself could see and detect?" A middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
"That is where the ambiance lies. How can there be people who have infinite power in this world but we do not feel it. A power even stronger than the ancestors. But that power was able to be felt by this Pandora. It's like that guy was here. And one more thing, this Pandora only knows what she was destined for." The old man leading the negotiation sighed. Everyone is silent. They dive into each other's minds.
"But at least this Pandora actually lit up after hundreds of thousands of years ago. There was hope that the Demon God rumored in the obscure proposal several hundred years ago had perished and did not find this Pandora. At least before the owner came this universe was still in a state of fine." The old man sighed softly. It was as if he was unloading a heavy weight on his shoulders all this time. The faces of everyone in the room were bright and slightly bright. They nodded confirming the old man's words.
Xiao Long clearly heard all of those conversations. He was not constantly shocked. In addition to his old age, during his life only this time someone felt his presence even though only a box. Yes it is a Pandora's box. He saw that the people in this room had dragon blood. And the lowest level among them was in the Heaven General. Some had been at the level of an early God Emperor. Only that old man was at the level of the late God Emperor. Xiao Long thought for a moment. Whether he's gonna poke or not and see all that stuff.
Xiao Long finally got an idea. He gradually opened his presence. So that everyone is not surprised at the presence that suddenly appears.
Everyone who had been silent was looking at each other. Something is troubling them. The longer these people get confused. They feel a person's presence but they can't see his form.
"Master... It's..." The white-haired old woman spoke while looking around. The room was a little crisp. They looked here but found no one. Pandora's box is rustling hard. The red light is getting brighter. Little by little the light dimmed and calmed down without making a whirring sound like that.
"Honored Master please present yourself. We will follow the master" The gentleman who sat facing Pandora's Box spoke politely but raised his voice. He spoke while bowing towards Pandora's box. Everyone present did what the old man did.
"Hmmm... Alright. It seems like indeed the Great Lord is matchmaking with this box. Before that I want to ask." Xiao Long spoke while circulating his voice so that no one would know where he was.
"Please Mr. Please ask we will answer" said the person in the room at the same time.
"Do you know me?"
Everyone is staring at each other. They don't know what to answer.
"Ehem sir... We do not know sir. But we've seen mister. It's not us who see, but this Pandora's box that pays attention." The old man replied while scratching his head. It would have been presumptuous if they were spying on someone they shouldn't have been nosy about. But it was clearly not their desire.
"Hemm okay. I'm just asking." Xiao Long appeared to him little by little. He took off his mask and displayed a handsome face. He smiled warmly at the people who were looking at him.
Everyone gasped at the sight of a handsome man appearing little by little standing tall in front of them. The gold-robed man with the carving of a Dragon who was swerving around as if alive was smilingly looking at. The man standing right in front of Pandora's Box.
"Welcome sir to our world." Said the old man who became the leader while bowing half his body and followed all his followers.
